    Me, over fifty, and my doctor actually wants to give me a toot canal. (Colonoscopy)

      Honestly, as someone who just got one, it’s not really that bad. Just do it and treat yourself afterwards… it’s absolutely worth it.

        I already beat cancer once, so I’m not taking any chances. Tootcanal in a cold doctor’s office seems like a small price to pay.

      My mother’s husband sometimes creates random new group chats. They’re all one offs and he just makes new ones somehow.

      The only one I’m in is my husband, my twin, and myself. We usually use it for groceries so twin knows what to bring home.

      I can’t imagine large ones are anything but annoying. However, a family one or a couple friends works out pretty well.

      I happen to be in a couple of both of those so I’m a little biased. The family one is good for planning and sharing pictures from time to time. The friend one is good for sending memes and shit.

      Edit: even then, if one of those starts going off and has nothing to do with me, I’ll mute notifications for an hour or so.

        I feel with group chats that one’s company, two’s a crowd. I’m in more than one, but I can only pay attention to one at any given time. Some of them I dip out of for long intervals before I dip back in.
