Recently I went to the hospital for a surgery. It was scheduled for 0630 and they told me no food or drink after 1800 the previous night. I heeded that. At 1100 they told me they were cancelling the surgery.
I said “does this mean I can have some water?” They laughed and brought me 28oz of ginger ale. It was delicious.

I have one connected to the internet due to WAF, but I never signed into an LG account on it. As a result, the “home” page just shows something about signing in “for the full experience” rather than any ads.

I feel this very strongly - I could even have written this comment - but I’d like to mention that Adventure Time is amazing … Two seasons in. Before that, it’s not a good show.

When I was a kid, I perused a book called “*Are You Normal?*”
I’m not sure whether that’s it. My copy was blue.
Anyway, reading it, I was surprised to learn that 4-6 times a day is apparently not a normal amount of times to pee.
