Apologies if my earlier reply sounded argumentative; I didn’t mean it to be. I just meant it as “This is also going on and here’s what I’m doing with the available information.”

I also know that the family intends to have their own independent autopsy done, and are arranging their own investigation.

I’m fine with reserving judgement until some of that comes out.

The truth does matter. Patience is a virtue.

I was aware of Trey Reed, not aware of Cory Zukatis.

Reed’s death is still being investigated, police statements are very confident that it was not “foul play.” Yes, I want more confirmation than just police statements, but the investigation is ongoing, and I don’t expect them to say anything more publicly any time soon.

I am quite certain that “regular chicken” at the time had a specific meaning, because that phrase was used frequently for a time. Once, we guessed that it meant generic fronzen chicken nuggets. Nope.

The world is a better place when there are fewer horrible people in it.

Ah the fond memories of one of my kids shouting “I WANT REGULAR CHICKEN” at the table most nights.

We had no idea what “regular chicken” was.

e: I just asked said kid, who is much older now. “I don’t know lmao. I have no recollection of actually saying it, just you recounting it.”

My favorite part is how he seems angrily defiant about it.

Grapefruit, I love them. I take so much medicine that I can’t really have them anymore.

Stop drinking grapefruit juice out of your dog. It can’t be good for either one of you.

I don’t like talking to people.

That’s abridgement of the First Amendment.
