Am I sick? My right side says no. My left side says yes.

This is one of the strangest colds I've ever encountered, if not the strangest. On Friday morning, it felt as though the left side of my throat was sore, but not the right side. I then noticed last night and this morning, only my left nostril and left ear were plugged. My right nostril and ear seemed to be doing fine. So I'm not sure what's going on here. Do I actually have two different personalities or beings lodged inside me - the left and right side?

I'd love to see the look on a doctor's face when talking to him about my symptoms...

Dr. Frankenputz: "So, what's the problem?"

Me: "Well, I feel half-sick. My left side feels sick, but not my right..."

Frankenputz: "Uh...what?"

I'm not sure what the problem is either, fictional doctor. At the rate I'm going, though, I'm predicting I'll get a headache on the left side of my head tomorrow, have a sprained left ankle come Tuesday, feel spasms on the left side of my back on Wednesday, and have my left testicle suddenly go missing on Thursday. The right side of my head, back, my right ankle, and right testicle should be just fine, though, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
