Yossarian had everything he wanted in the hospital. The food wasn’t too bad, and his meals were brought to him in bed. There were extra rations of fresh meat, and during the hot part of the afternoon he and the others were served chilled fruit juice or chilled chocolate milk. Apart from the doctors and the nurses, no one ever disturbed him. For a little while in the morning he had to censor letters, but he was free after that to spend the rest of each day lying around idly with a clear conscience. He was comfortable in the hospital, and it was easy to stay on because he always ran a temperature of 101. He was even more comfortable than Dunbar, who had to keep falling down on his face in order to get his meals brought to him in bed.

Kinda related, I had surgery a few years back and it required a 3 day hospital stay. It was a glorious, relaxing vacation. No one asked me to do anything, people took care of me, fed me, etc. Recovery pain was worth it. I still remember it fondly.
Comparing it to my regular life is depressing, lol.
Damn. You’re really selling it to me. Now I want my appendix to rupture. ะเ
The bill afterwards was not fun, so I recommend being in a non USA country.
This is exactly why I run around with an egg in my pocket and say weird things, you are not seen as normal with an egg in your pocket and say weird things… palimpsest
how do you not break it? fleepygeebers

I wonder how many kidnappers have purchased from that seller
Yes but it’s far cheaper to take a regular vacation.

Ngl those padded rooms seem like they’d be fun. Like a bouncy castle
That’s tight, fresh and relevant. And the art is pretty good too.

If you saw my previous reply then it wouldn’t make sense because I accidentally replied to your comment instead of the one I was meant to reply too

the word is “normalcy”
The word normalcy is normalcy, yes.
But normality is quite normal.
I did not recognize that form and assumed it was not a word. I stand corrected.
You are very wise.
Here’s wiktionary:
Although sometimes used, normalcy is less common than normality in American English. It is very rarely used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is frequent in India and Zimbabwe however.
So it’s a regional thing.
Although the claim that in US English the “normality” form is more common does not match my experience as a speaker of US English.
I believe Normalcy was pioneered as a word in a presidential speech by Warren Harding in 1920. The titular “Return to Normalcy”. Before that, it was only normality. Since then normalcy has overtaken normality to become the more common word to use.
Thanks for sharing that, I stand partly corrected, too.
What a very cumulative word
I mean, sure, normalcy also works here, but normality also fits here just fine.
I was secretly hoping that the SAG-AFTRA strike would run a little bit longer…
Is the company Microsoft?
Hmmm. Doesn’t look like a Washington license plate on the van, so… no? ;ر
There is an ‘s’ in Microsoft, friend. It’s the one shaped like a ssssnake.
