All mail is blackmail actually i only pay my medical bills so they stop sending me these rude letters demanding my dollars
I just spent about an hour on the phone with two different doctors offices to find out that they were BOTH STILL SENDING ME BILLS THAT I HAD ALREADY PAID. I saved myself $277.36… like truly paper mail is the weapon of choice for evil bureaucracies. I also get letters every month telling me i need to pay my healthcare premium or I’ll lose coverage (the payments are automatically deducted from my bank account every month) also the IRS kept sending me mail for four months after i paid my taxes claiming i had unpaid taxes— that took several hours on the phone to sort out 🙃
Jed portrayed the shapeshifting alien taking the form of a Norwegian dog in John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). Jed was half-wolf, half Canadian malamute, and according to Carpenter, was an excellent animal actor—after becoming familiar with the cast and crew, he would not look at the camera, crew, or dolly during scenes. Jed’s quiet manner perfectly reflected the alien’s unsettling nature. Jed would go on to act in a few other movies, and lived on his trainer Clint Rowe’s animal sanctuary until his death at age eighteen—quite old for a dog of his breed.
You have to appreciate little nice things sometimes. When I was shoveling snow the other day I saw this leaf. It had been still connected to a twig when the snow fell and remained upright. As the wind blew, the leaf made a perfect circle on its little tether.
