Oh crap, I have some work stuff to finish up before end of week.

Oh crap, I have lots of homework to do before I need to study for final exams.

Oh crap, my toilet is running and I don’t know what I need so I better check YouTube for toilet repair videos.

Oh crap, I need to replace either the fill valve seal or toilet fill valve and the hardware store closes at 6 PM.

Oh crap, I just wrenched my back before heading out the door and what is this fresh new type of pain.

Oh crap, I also need to pick up dinner and lunch for tomorrow along with some toiletries.

Oh crap, well I better take that cane I kept around for emergencies and hobble out to the shops.

Oh crap, the overcast sky from most of the day gave way to blaring sunlight.

Oh crap, they’re out of my favorite deodorant.

Oh my, there’s too many plums and pluots and I impulse bought two of each type

Oh my, there’s back pain relief pills at the store.

Oh my, replacing the fill valve seal fixed the toilet.

Oh my, my other desk chair is a lot better for my back.

Oh my, I have enough time to finish my homework.

Oh my, I can lay in bed and watch TV and melt for a while.

I think it’s so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn’t have a job to do constantly

Ice age children frolicked in ‘giant sloth puddles’ 11,000 years ago, footprints reveal

archaeologicalnews:

More than 11,000 years ago, young children trekking with their families through what is now White Sands National Park in New Mexico discovered the stuff of childhood dreams: muddy puddles made from the footprints of a giant ground sloth.

Few things are more enticing to a youngster than a muddy puddle. The children — likely four in all — raced and splashed through the soppy sloth trackway, leaving their own footprints stamped in the playa — a dried up lake bed. Those footprints were preserved over millennia, leaving evidence of this prehistoric caper, new research finds.

The finding shows that children living in North America during the Pleistocene epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) liked a good splash. “All kids like to play with muddy puddles, which is essentially what it is,” Matthew Bennett, a professor of environmental and geographical sciences at Bournemouth University in the U.K. who is studying the trackway, told Live Science.
