Caution: Customers pay for AT&T errors. Overbills us $52/mo. x 8 at unoccupied home, where service was paused bc fiber was clipped. NEVER RECONNECTED! Will only credit 2 months bc it's my fault I didn't catch their mistake. Hello @tmobi @ATTCares @ATTCustomerCare @ATT

Hello @UPLIFTDesk ? I'd like to order 4 acoustical panels // (Tap, tap, click) Ok, anything else? // Yes, I'll take 4 more. // So you want 8? // No, just 4 // so cancel the other order? // No. And then, please place 12 more identical orders... Thank you.

Hmmm @UPLIFTDesk : if you order 4 acoustic clouds at $250 each, you can return them. If you order 7 at that price, you can return NONE. B/c that counts as a bulk order? And bulk orders are harder to process? Someone in Austin please help their challenged processing dept.

I love @HEB but don't buy their raisins (we don't). Found lots of squirmers in HEB raisin packs wrapped w cellophane. Pretty sure I have worm colony in my gut. Ironically, the big lot of wormy HEB raisin boxes were gifted by sister in Houston who said we Pay too much for sunmaid.

J @TheNewANA1 is anyone studying #neuropathic itch? I have a personal case study. Undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for decades. But mostly just dismissed. #neuropathy #dermatology

So ... How many homonyms do you know that are opposites? Like raise and raze? After the last Houston flood, so many homes were either razed or raised. @wayword

Awesome! Seems @CNN got my memo. They changed to "flouted"
@juliejacobson Word pairs like flouted/flaunted often called "confusables," which is not very fancy but certainly serviceable. Using "inertia" incorrectly is simply a solecism.

What's the word for when you use the wrong word that is kind of the opposite of the right word? Like people always do with "inertia"? @cnnbrk

Individuals who can unconsciously predict complex patterns, an ability called implicit pattern learning, are likely to hold stronger beliefs that there is a god who creates patterns of events in the universe. #icymi #neuroscience #news

People whose brains are more predisposed to implicit pattern learning are more likely to believe in a deity, researchers report.

Where has this genius been all my life? A monumental effort by @KirkDemarais in this penetrating report on The Brady Bunch's art collection ... a man who clearly understands the rewards of wasting countless hours to amuse one's self. #MCM #modernart
