Then the dog sees it and starts barking.....

Careful what you hoot for - something is liable to swoop down into your hot tub, figuring that you are boiled about right -

So there.

Those are the worst.

Is it possible to get a "really good Charley horse"? I thought cramps were due to poor posture, lack of oxygen and build-up of lactic acid... So what was it that you were doing in your sleep to wake up poor ole Charley??

Also poor circulation, dehydration and prolonged static positions.
Sleep related cramps are usually static position and reduced circulation.


As far as a "good" one goes it all depends on what you are into

Reminds me of a time I was taking a girlfriend to see her parents in Queens. We were stuck in heavy traffic on the GW at the toll plaza, but still people were honking like it made a difference. At one point someone honked twice, so I honked twice. Then someone honked three times and a different car answered that. Then I honked shave and a haircut, and I don't know how many cars answered that. This went on for about 5 minutes while my girlfriend sunk further and further into the passenger seat in embarrassment.

Totally the same thing.

While at work, all the Gen Z kids keep spouting lingo I don't understand. Words like, "Deadass" or "Bet" which mean totally different things than it should. So, to pull a #okboomer move, I googled a list of Gen Z slang and began to read off words in sentences. The glory of annoying these kids is sweetening for me. Best part is, they couldn't even figure out my Millennial slang because "bruh, I deadass low-key am a basic salty boomer who can get thicc snaccs with my squad and clap those cheeks."

I thanked this post for the intent despite the last sentence giving me a headache.

Well, I had spent hours before going to bed slumped over my computer, my nose strip had slipped off, I had to go pee really bad, my tight PJs had cut off circulation to my legs, my mouth was very dry and I had slept in the same position all night - just a normal night -

Well the fitment of your sentence is sic.

Last spring I had a new backflow, valves and drain valve installed for my irrigation system.

So when I had a guy blow out my new sprinkler system for winter, we discovered the drain valve was on the wrong side of the main. What a flood.

I got a hold of the guy who put the valve in wrong, and thankfully he didn't give me any hassle, and it in the back today to fix it. That is a lot of digging. Those valves are almost 5 feet deep.
