Title: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: MintJulie on May 10, 2016, 08:14:54 PM
Spin off of "What made your day today?"
So, what ruined my day today?
My Kuerig broke - pump quit. No coffee for my drive to work. Get to work. The Kuerig is broken - pump quit. WTH, is it national Kuerig break down day?
:(, Jules

Not today but a week ago my Capresso coffee grinder/brewer conked out with a burnt out heating element. I called customer service to learn I had two options: send it in for replacement heating element, cost $160, or send it in and get a new one for $108. They pay for shipping but I pay $22 for packing. Since then I've been making do with instant coffee. Thot I'd hate it, but it ain't so bad. Capresso was also not bad, but not terrific, questionable whether the difference is worth $130 plus the nuisance.
With all the advances being made in material science over the last few decades, seems to me it shouldn't be that hard to get a heating element more durable than two year lifetime.
What ruined my day today is my son calls to say his blood test came up anemic and borderline high cholesterol, so $430 for one prescription (fourteen day supply), $135 for other prescription (30 day supply), neither one covered by his Obamacare insurance.
I was IV'd myself with red blood cell transfusion a few years ago, covered mostly by medicare, been taking iron supplement pills (non-prescription) since then, plus watching my diet. Docs have been flailing away at me to take statins for cholesterol for years, like ten or fifteen years. My numbers are not much higher than when I was in high school, but the medical oligopoly thinks everybody should be taking statins, non-generic of course, whether they need them or not. I eat what I like, but make sure I have healthy choices. No statins, no significant movement in my cholesterol numbers.
I know it's not all Hillary's fault, but she's a proud and happy supporter of the disaster that is our healthcare system, where we spend more than any other country and get less for our money. No vote for her from me. Not that she gives a shit.

Orange sherbet is the best. Did you drop it in your lap or something? How could it ruin your day.
mmmm, summer time, ice cream trucks, Push-Up Orange Sherbets.
Pistachio is Better.. Especially on a hot summer day. Get a tall glass and put in ice cream then pour orange juice over it.. :D And no that didn't ruin my day.
Love, Liz

Orange happens to be my favorite sherbet. I was tasked with the procurement of said sherbet at round3:30 am. Mid cleaning the apartment, covered in dish water. My partner complained enough to make me drop what I was doing. No socks clean because that load was still going( I dispose wearing shoes with no socks), couldn't find my keys so I had to use the space, and the first 2 places I went were out. The third just doesn't sell sherbet at all. Then before I can get to the fourth place she calls while I'm driving and process to chew me out about the dishes soaking in the sink and how that's the sink she washes her hands over. I tell her I'm driving and talking on the phone is unsafe. To which she responded by changing the thing she chewed me out about to why it was taking so long to get sherbet when SHE could almost piss on the back of a grocery store. Before I could respond I was pulled over. It's not a ticketable offense here to talk on the phone while driving only text but it was obvious this was why he stopped me. 45 minutes later I'm back to my sherbet hunt and at this point I'm so put off of the idea sherbet even exists. I get the cursed tub of what at this point is practically the bane of my existence to the front of the store where a man with an overflowing cart whips in front of me like someone stealing your parking space. He then has the fucking audacity to say "I win". At which point I force myself to operate under the assumption he's mentally deficient in hopes of resisting the urge to use half the items in his cart to give him the world's most varied enema. 23 minutes in Que and a half melted tub of sherbet later I step up to the cashier who promptly say " ugh, how do you eat this stuff?" After paying $6.87 for fucking sherbet, I walk to my car which didn't start. Battery's flat. A truck drives up close to reveal the "winner" from inside who says "Battery Dead? That sucks." Then actually proceeds to drive away! So call my friend to give me a jump, explain what's happened while the leads do their thing. He laughed, which I fully expected because though he's a trusted friend he is an asshole. In response I offered him some sherbet juice and told him to go fuck his mother. Then thanked him for getting out at such an hour and we went our ways. Got home put the "sherbet" in the freezer and promptly got yelled at again. After which I went back to cleaning and laundry for the next 3 hours.
I am glad the cop didn't choose to ticket me for any of the non Street legal bits on my car.
Also, I know my sherbet thing is nothing in comparison to having a loved one in hospital and hope everything goes well.
But yeah, orange sherbet.

No, no, no.
He loves her. She loves him. She just wanted a little sherbet. He's a good guy going through all that for her.

Mask of the Phantasm, Damn I went to the theater to see that. Second best Batman movie I payed for at the theater. I actually felt like I got my $4.50's worth ;D Heath Ledger as the Joker, I'd pay ten bucks again to see that in the theater and I own the Blueray.
I know bunny trail I'm sorry but just one more bit to ponder Darth Vader with Banes' voice.....puts a whole new feeling to "Luke I am your father" without the Mufasa. Just soak that in. Not saying its good just....yeah :emot_laughing:

It seems my father's mother was the same way. My father, his brother and his sister all had different fathers. :P
Oh, you have no idea how amateur that is. My daddy is a slut beyond compare.
He called me last night with a "heads" up. :roll: get it?
Dad: Hey, kiddo, can't wait to see the new baby. By the way, one of your sisters wants to meet you.
Me: My sister already met me.
Dad: I mean a sister I made for you.
Me: Are you serious? Didn't we have a talk about condoms?
Dad: yes, but your advice fell on deaf ears.
Me: It always does with you.
Dad: I can tell you're upset.
Me: When am I not with you?
Dad: Look, she wants to meet you, are you cool with that?
Me: No.
Dad: Well I already told her you were.
Me: Figures. After all, I never did have much of a say when you wanted something from me.
Dad: Let's not bring that up.
Me: You never had a problem with doing that with me either.
Dad: Her mom will call you.
I hung up.

Going about my work (and typing a message on KB) when a window pops up saying that my computer will restart in 5 minutes and tells me to save my work. No option to restart later, so I click OK. Then, 4-1/2 minutes later a window pops up and a countdown from 30 starts. No option to postpone. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 ...Then BALOOP, screen goes dark. 20 minutes to update and restart. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
To be fair, it's been asking for a reset since yesterday morning and I keep clicking the Restart Later button.

UGHHHH what the HECK is going on
Now, in the middle of typing out a text, my iPhone decides to update the software. I'm literally typing a message and a pop up says, "Updating software x.x.x in 5 seconds". And it shut down, right in the middle of my typing.
Okay, maybe these things didn't ruin my day, but they surely ticked me off.

Toe, it usually is the other way with us. We screw up something on the computer, tablet, etc and then we have to ask one of our 7 or 8 year old grandchildren to undo what we had done.

Had to have the death talk with my 4 year old after she couldn't understand why a dog laying in the road didn't get up and move out of the way.
I had to explain that it was dead, and couldn't move anymore. She didn't get it. "Then help the dog move it's not safe there" I had to explain the concept of it to her, and that one day it will happen to all of us and we're only here a short time, then we die and make room for others to live.
"We won't get to go to the park anymore or have fun playing?"

I think the "death talk" to a four year old is a little to premature. Explaining some or certain aspects of death might be okay, but not everything that you did. I'm not sure a four year old can "fully" grasp the ideas behind a "death talk". But before someone has a fit, I also think that yes the "death talk" should come at an age appropriate time.

Twice I have had slivers from paneling underneath my fingernail such that you could see it. One of them I could actually get ahold of to pull out. The second, however, broke off flush and I had to dig to just be able to grab it.

I've had to do it before. It ruined my day, but it was time for the talk. I had to tell my daughter after she watched Charlotte's web the first time. It's not easy, it's horrible, but when the time comes it comes and there's no real best time to talk about it. Better she and I talk about it than let her watch Charlotte's web.
I might have put it off, but she was really upset and I had to explain the situation. There's no point in leaving things out. It was a talk we'd have eventually.
That ruined the day, but it would have ruined any other day.

Um, I didn't want it. Didn't ask for it. Didn't say Okay I'll upgrade.

Accidentally broke my MP3/FM radio player I use when I clean the house.
BUT, stretching my blonde IQ to the breaking point, I took the rechargeable battery out of another one that died out, took the one out of my broken one and fixed my old one with the dead battery.
much smaller battery, but lasted 6 hours without dying.
Liked the old one better anyway. So ruin turned into salvage.

Today I read the obituary of Harriet, one of the foremost ambassadors for Eagles and conservation of our heritage. Since 2000, Harriet was one of the Eagles at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minnesota. She retired a year ago from public view. Recently she quit eating and as a result wasn't getting the pain medication she needed. The decision was made to end her suffering.
Harriet was unable to fly due to injuries after being hit by a car. Though unable to fly again, the flew into the hearts of so many who visited the center and got to meet her.
Harriet also traveled extensively. She'd been on the Today Show and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. There were many visits to VA Hospitals where she helped lift the spirits of veterans. Countless schoolchildren were able to see our country's symbol up close through Harriet's visits to them.
At 35 and having lived the first half of her life in the wild before being hit, Harriet was very long lived. Her visage graces many of Minnesota's license plates that are sold to raise money for preserving natural resources.
After reading of her death, I went to tell my wife about it. I found I was so choked up I could hardly talk and yes, some tears were shed. There are several other Eagles at the National Eagle Center to carry on Harriet's "work". Still she was a very special bird.
I'm attaching a picture I took a few years ago. She always had that feather sticking up on top of her head. It's a result of scarring from her injuries. (http://i.imgur.com/ZpqsC8b.jpg) http://www.startribune.com/national-eagle-center-s-most-prominent-feathered-resident-dies/380970051/

I was supposed to spend the next two days yelling at people and chasing motorcycles but got sent home this morning (with 1/2 day pay) due to last minute student cancellations. I love teaching people how to ride motorcycles. However, with the cancellations we were looking at an instructor to student ratio of almost 1 to 1. That just does not make good business sense considering how well paid I am. I don't need the money so that sting isn't there. But, now I have to find other things to do before going back to "work" at my permanent gig on Monday.

The fact that certain members had to abuse the PM system to the point we had to set these limits.
And YES, I'm the one that requested it after being threatened myself by these asshats
Well, I was busy telling someone how cute you were. Then I got the sudden urge to talk dirty to you and I tried PMing you. Said my limit of 5 in an hour so I couldn't chat you up. I've since lost the urge. :( Sorry.

Shops 24/7 for at least another 2 weeks. I'll be there at 7am tomorrow.
I know it's not fair to compare your job with mine. So I'll apologize now if I seem like a complete bitch to you (to be honest this is not directed at you). But people like to complain about the long hours that there job may entail, however have you ever heard a farmer complain about his/her job.? Would you like a run down of my job.? It's 24/7 everyday -365 days a year. It's up at 5:30AM and finished (usually) around 7PM. There are no Vacations, There are no Holidays, Christmas and Thanksgiving come in-between the work that has to be done. New Years means nothing to me, you may get to go to a party and so do I, but at 5:30AM I have to be out in the barn feeding horses. The best part about my job is that my job is right out my front door (No commuting, unless you consider walking down a flight of stairs commuting, That's right Watcher had it right when he pokes fun about the hayloft, It's where I live 1600 sq. feet above 20 stalls below me). Did you want to hear about my nights.? Spring time takes the biggest toll on any farmer, simply because spring time (except for Dairy) is when all the new born appear (especially horses) and they do it at the wonderful hours of 3AM. (Only the Vet's job is worse than the farmers). My job may not seem like much, and I'm on KB a lot (only because, My office is my kitchen and the computer is in the kitchen). I don't really complain about my job, and I'm pretty sure you don't really complain about yours that much (to be honest if you did or I did, we would not be doing it). The greatest part about my job is that I get to spend time traveling with horses all over the world (that's when my parents farm guys help out with my place). So, with the exception of the travel, farming is one of those jobs that has no down-time. And I've just ranted about the easy stuff. Not even gotten into the training of the horses. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about what I do, I would not trade it for anything in the world, just as I'm sure you wouldn't just walk away from what you do (unless you win the lottery). Okay Rant Over...(and no I don't want to swap jobs for a day, I hate office work).
Love, Liz

Went fishing on Lake Erie at 6am this morning. We were out for an hour and a half, I caught three Walleye and a customer of mine caught two. My co-worker and our other customer was shut out.
What ruined my day? The seas got rough within 90 minutes of us dropping our lines in the water. The charter captain cancelled the trip. It was pretty rocky out there. 1-2 footers when we started. 4-6 footers when he called it. Dang, this girl was on fire. I was actually singing that as I reeled in my 3rd one. :)

I was in a similar accident. Rich little bitch was fuckin' around on her phone and plowed right into me. The family refused to pay for anything so I fuckin' sued them. They could have easily payed what was owed and been done with it but my lawyer nailed them hard. They had no case, all the evidence was 100% against them and the judge wasn't gonna buy her being a neglected little rich bitch. She also didn't even have a valid license.
She very nearly killed me and I still have the injury she gave me.

I'm using the fact that my ex never paid child support as a "you ain't gettin' any of my pension" weapon if she ever tries to come for some of it. The best I would agree to would be 1/2 of my contributions during the time we were together. And then, even though the kids are now in their late 20s, I would ask for back support and her half of the debt we accumulated while we were together.
The total amount of child support I received was a one time payment of $50.00. I had primary custody of our two girls for 9 years. We live on either end of the continent which means shared custody was that in name only.

The later ones are much better because they had fixed most of the design issues by then. The coolness factor far out weighs any issues they had in my book.

1981. We bought it for about $33,000. My mom talked him down from 40 reminding him that it's not like it actually travelled through time or could even make it to 88MPH. :emot_laughing: He did take care of it and fixed a lot of problems with it so $33,000 was fair.
Now it's costing a small fortune to turn into a time machine. It'll light up and do all kinds of awesome things. I visited it a few days ago and the guy building it for me is doing it down to the smallest detail. And charging me to the smallest detail. :roll:

My wife and I were cuddling in our home theater we have. Shut up, it was my moms money to spend and it's incredible and you'd be insanely jealous if I told you any more about it. Needless to say you'd never get bored there. It only increased the value of the home we'll never sell.
The kids were asleep. The baby didn't need my attention. All was well. My wife and I were enjoying the air conditioning, some cold drinks and music on vinyl using our new gramovox. Yes, we still listen to old records. There's a store downtown that still sells old records and vintage things. We have seemingly thousands of them I never really counted. It was great. The light was perfectly low, the music sounded awesome with our sound system. My head was nuzzled into her boob. Then the record ended and one of us had to get up to put a new one on.
She completely ruined our evening when she hovered over her star wars collection. Including her newest force awakens record.

I've got two of those now. On my rental. LOL. I'm going to claim ignorance. It's true actually.
Took a grouse in the passenger door of a rental car many years ago. Damn thing flew out of the bush on the side of the highway and right into the side of the car as I drove down the road. Left the blood and feathers there to prove my innocence when I returned the car.

I may or may not have suggested to someone once that they gather hair off a deer carcass on the side of the road to put on their vehicle that was in an accident that may or may not have involved an actual deer. Allegedly.

I was working for an insurance company for about two weeks. You wouldn't believe the claims that were filed. By the way, a tip, never deep fry a turkey in your house on Xmas day (or any day). You might burn your house down.

Decided to check the air filter on my motorcycle. After over 32,000 km, I figured it was time. Yep, it was dirty and needs replacement. Went to the local dealership to get one.
FUCK. They don't have it in stock. Have to order it in. 3-5 business days which means likely Wednesday-Thursday next week.
OK. Go home Start putting everything back together. FUCK. Lost a screw. Could be worse but FUCK.
Everything is back together and I decide I need to fill the tank. Get to the gas station. Fill up. And WHAM -- fucking thunderstorm lets loose a fucking down pore.
I think I will stay in the rest of the afternoon and prep some tortilla bowls so I can make taco salad for supper.

Thanks.
Wasn't good. Was "this was to be expected." And "here's what you need to do."
The best news I got was "we just don't know. It could happen right now, an hour, a year, fifty years from now. Or maybe it won't happen at all. You're in excellent health otherwise." Like that'll help. :roll:
I have to work on my will. Make sure it's all in order and up to date. I'm scared out of my mind. I'm scared for my kids. My daughter knows something's wrong.

I read an article the other day concerning how people don't know how to respond, when someone tells them truly terrible news about death or disease suffered by a friend. I just read CG's post and fall in that category. Wishing you calmness and clarity in the foreseeable future. Prayers.
I now feel stupid saying that having my car break down in the middle of nowhere ruined my day yesterday. I only bought it 5 days ago. They say it is covered by warranty, but I had to leave it 300 miles from my house, and rent a car. Long, tiring day. And I will get to drive another 600 miles, to pick it up and bring it home, next week. Ugh.
Nah, don't feel stupid. Life goes on.
It's just a reminder to never curse life, because before you know it it's over. I got reminded of that yesterday.
Thanks :D

Yesterday, one of my children did something really sweet, so I shared it on social media with a hashtag that said #perfectson. No sooner had I done that, then I get a text message from a former in-law berating me for allegedly "favoring" this child over my others, and suggesting that I was harming my children's self-esteem, and a bunch of other crap.
First, my kids aren't on my social media page. Second, I didn't say *favorite* son, or *best* son. All of my kids are perfect. Third, WTF? Finally, grandma, that's a good way to get blocked.
Turned a happy, sweet moment into an ugly one. There's a reason I divorced your daughter.

Has anybody hear of PokemonGo?
I almost hit a kid this morning. He walked across the street while looking at his phone. I gave him a 'toot' with my horn and he looked up and waved in an "I'm sorry" sort of way.
I got to work and told one of the guys here. He said, "He was probably playing PokemonGo."
Okay, in the last half hour, we've had random cars driving through our lot. Our yard supervisor has stopped them and asked them why they are on private property. "Because you have Pokemon's all over the place."
One of our employees brother is a cop and kids have been coming to that police station for Pokestuff.
WTH, but I almost ran a kid over. A little 10 year old at 6:30 in the morning.

Had a discussion with my boss over how to cover the projects we are committed to finishing. We have over 100 documents to write, re-write, and incorporate within our version control system. We have a a deadline do about half of these by the end of September. The rest are due by the end of April.
In the meantime we have the regular maintenance of the 1680 documents we currently maintain. To do all of this we need an additional 6 full time employees, and another 9 contract writers to meet the closer deadline of September.
I told my boss that we are now too late to effectively hire additional writers for that September deadline.
I have been informing our management for 4 years that with the mandate established by the Dodd-Frank act that we have to document ALL procedures. I have been ignored by senior management. I will have no compunction about informing a Federal auditor that the reason we don't have the required documentation is because senior management thought they didn't need to follow the law.
Stupid management tricks.

Houseflies in the office right now. Where the heck did they all come from? I swear, there must be 6 of them in here.
I hate killing them because I look at them as a huge germ and get grossed out by them. At home, I'll either suck them up the tube of the vacuum, or wait until they're at a window then open it.
Some of the guys in the office are after them, though.
I've got a clorox bleach wipes container on my desk. If one lands, I'll wipe that spot clean. My father taught me long ago what flies land on.

In the game that I play there is a staging area where you have to wait for people to form a team. There are people from all over the world and you are able to converse with them if you wish, I rarely do. However I do talk to the folks who are in my guild. There are different tabs on toolbar for each chat. Well anyways I had wrong tab on and was telling my guildmates about all the assholes in staging area.....so all those people saw what I said.......

No. Wire. Hangers. EVER!!!
True enough.
We went shopping today and it took her a god damned hour to get glammed up. I took five minutes to throw on a I heart donuts shirt and pants and she looks like a hundred thousand bucks. :roll:
Don't get me wrong, I love having a blazing hot mommy and the genetics she gave me, but sometimes I just want to throw dog shit on her and make her normal like the rest of us for once. She doesn't even fucking age like us mortals.
And then she wouldn't even let me have a cream filled chocolate doughnut with marshmallows. As if it would kill me but due to my health issue, as she put it, "If I see you put one crumb of crap like this in your body I'll muzzle you." :emot_banghead:

Sleeping through my alarm. Usually up at 5:00am and in to work at 7am. Woke up at 7:30. Just got into work at 10am. Ugh.
Long weekend. Too much sun. It wiped me out yesterday. Friends and family didn't leave until 11pm last night, then I cleaned up.

As I was leaving work yesterday, I hit the print button on a Word doc. It was 15 pages long.
When I came in this morning, the printer had used every bit of paper in the cassette and I had multiple copies of the document scattered across my desk, on the chair and on my desk. I had just reloaded the cassette about noon yesterday. So about 500 pages of wasted paper.
Good thing I'm not a tree hugger because I would feel really guilty.

Figured it out. My default number of 'copies' anytime I attempt to print says 82 copies. Still trying to figure out what is going on and why it says that.

Guilty as charged. My assistant told me about a week ago that if I needed anything in the supply room to tell her and she would get it. I said, "No, if I'm walking by, I'll get it." Well, I find out that others had requested it because every time I go in there I knock something off a shelf or make a mess. :-[ But really, who puts a chinsy metal storage rack directly behind a door so that the door hits it when opening. It wasn't like it was really my fault.

Wife was humping away, all was well :D then suddenly it was like someone shoved a knife into my calf muscle. The pain was unimaginable. My wife massaged it for about half an hour before it stopped hurting, but I haven't been able to walk on it all day. I might need to see a doctor.

My manager is in her 40's. I treat her with due respect.
My supervisor is going on 73 years old. I ignore him most of the time. I kinda let him do whatever catches his fancy. I have told him that part of my job is to listen to his decisions and to stop him from doing stupid things. I back this up by always telling him why the idea/decision is stupid and what I would do different. In the end, I've told him that if he really wants to continue down that path, I would respect the decision. 90% of the time, he listens. I'm working on getting that to 95%.

I would agree except she said it playfully. And played on my love for them well.
Besides, they pointed out I have nothing else to do with the kids in school.

These two need to get a grip on life and really fast.
When they both sat me and the other women folk of the clan down and told us Summer was pregnant, everyone else didn't seem to mind. I'm the one that had to give them a lecture. They have no concept of raising a child. Just because they borrow mine on the weekends doesn't make them ready for parenthood. But since they're impatient they got someone to drop a load in a cup and my sister squirted inside Summer. I've already, secretly, decided I'm not helping them with the baby. I was a teen when I got knocked up, and my mom was incredible, but I learned my lesson the hard way. They need to learn it on their own. I'm not going to take responsibility for what they've done. I'll love the kid, but it's not my job to raise it. They decided they wanted to have a kid while they're still in college. Fine, have it, but it's time they do get a grip on life and learn the hard way that it's not easy. They are on their own. This mommy service is unavailable.
Of course they'll be calling me in the middle of the night when they can't get it to go to sleep.

I've taught my girls to keep their rooms clean. They make their own beds, except my 4 year old, keep it cleaned up and tidy. I do all the actual cleaning work of course. If they make a mess, I expect them to clean it up. Thanks to this they are all very clean and tidy.
They're awesome "big sisters" to my kids, but time to cover for them is about over. Time for them to grow up.
And hide their sex toys better because I found all of them. A whole drawer full. And why do they need so much baby oil?

Could be dislocated. I stubbed my baby toe many years ago. After being in a great deal of pain for 3 hours, I went to emergency, got the toe x-rayed and then the doctor pulled on it to re-locate it. Walked funny for a few days wearing sandals.

Finding out that the Girl (Ashley is her name) I was writing to in Prison (Albion Correctional Facility) was actually scamming me! Found out from my Cousin that the Girl (Amber is her name) he was writing to, in the same Prison as my Girl, was also scamming him and she admitted today that my Girl, her roommate in the Prison (they actually live in Dorms and not in a typical Prison cell) was scamming me the whole time too!. Ashley had been scamming me for 3 months now, Amber was scamming my Cousin for over a year!
Amber told my Cousin, that Ashley was STILL hooked on Drugs (after telling me back in May she had been cleaned for 2 years), she had been making fun of how I look (I am overweight, but she had told me she was hoping that I would loose weight (which I was) so I'd look good for her, YEAH RIGHT!), also said that she HATED my personality (she used to just laugh at my jokes when deep down she hated my funny sense of humor, I also can be very down to Earth too!), and that she was just using me to get Food, Gifts and Money.
I met her only twice, but the last time I saw her at the Prison, when she came back from the Bathroom I noticed her face was full of disdain for me being there, but when I confronted her about it, she said she was just tired. She even went as far as to talk about me behind my back, but when I questioned her about it she blamed her friend, Amber saying SHE was the one who was talking about me and blamed her about it!
Her Parents have basically disowned her, she said to me they really want nothing to do with her, they have told her she made her own bed now she must lie in it. Hope she will love it when she learns I contacted her Father and told him she's still addicted to Drugs and was just using me. She also lost custody of her Daughter because of her Crimes, which I believe has caused friction between her and her Parents.
My Cousin also told me that his ex Amber said that her and Ashley have been fighting cause Ashley has been stealing her stuff and doing Drugs, so it looks like there is a HUGE war going on now between both roommates.

Thanks a lot for the advice, my Cousin texted me earlier today telling me he contacted the Prison in Albion notifying them of what Ashley and Amber were doing, they said, "We wished you told us sooner, but thanks for letting us know we're going to look into it." My Cousin said to them that, Amber contacted him through a 3rd party phone line from the Prison to one of her friend's phones to talk to him, they told him that she may end up loosing her Phone privileges cause she did that, it's not allowed.
He mentioned about me giving Ashley $98 recently for her Classes (they try to teach the Women in the Prison some skills they can use when they get out) and he was informed that their Classes are FREE and yes, I was scammed out of $98.00, I assume that it was probably for her Drugs instead.
All I want to do now is to try to forget about this happening to me and move on, now I will be more cautious about who I give my heart out to next time, if there ever IS a next time.

Thanks, Katiebee, I can only imagine that both Girls got a rude awaking, so to speak, after my Cousin put in the Complaint. Doing some research recently I found out that something like this can hurt their chances for Parole. Ashley especially if found with Drugs in her system.

A week, injured, dying, rotten smelling, stray dog. He just came into my room, while the door was open, just an hour ago. Couldn't do anything for him. He will barely survive a day or two. Tried calling animal rescue centre, but its late in night, so they didnt pick the phone. Couldn't even shoo him away. Tried pushing him with the broom but he cried. I am not strong to hit him after that. Finally poured some drops of water over him to get him away. And its raining out here. But what could I do? Feeling so helpless, and guilty.

I, along with many thousands of people who have lived in Minnesota for a long time, find ourselves with heavy hearts along with some sense of relief. An 11 year old boy, Jacob Wetterling, who was snached by a sick fuck nearly 30 years ago will be returned to his family...albeit his remains.
His story has been kept alive by his family, who also founded a foundation in Jacob's name to help prevent child abductions and support other families that have had to face this horror.
The case was alway open, but got an extensive review last year. That led to the arrest of a "person on interest" in October. His collection of neatly labeled child porn was found in his home. His DNA was matched with a sweatshirt of a young boy who was attacked just a few months before Jacob's.
His family never gave up hope, plus continued to work to prevent this happening to others. Patty Wetterling, the mother, gave key testimony before congress leading to passage of the bill that now requires sex offenders to be registered. Now what ever spark she held that she'd see her son again has been snuffed out. I never saw much hope, yet today's news struck me like it just happened yesterday. We've lived with this story for so long. It's a relief it's ended, yet the sadness is so great. I'm sure I'm not alone feeling this way.
After sitting in custody for 11 months the killer/rapist led authorities to the remains. What makes me even sicker is wondering what kind of deal they offered the puke to make him give in and admit his guilt. Guess we'll have to live with this some more as his case is drawn out.

We've lived with this story for so long. It's a relief it's ended, yet the sadness is so great. I'm sure I'm not alone feeling this way.
After sitting in custody for 11 months the killer/rapist led authorities to the remains. What makes me even sicker is wondering what kind of deal they offered the puke to make him give in and admit his guilt. Guess we'll have to live with this some more as his case is drawn out.
Here's a link to today's news story if anyone wants to read more:
He won't be charged with the murder basically. But will have to spend 25 years in jail for the child pornography charges with a likely civil commitment.

I, along with many thousands of people who have lived in Minnesota for a long time, find ourselves with heavy hearts along with some sense of relief. An 11 year old boy, Jacob Wetterling, who was snached by a sick fuck nearly 30 years ago will be returned to his family...albeit his remains.
His story has been kept alive by his family, who also founded a foundation in Jacob's name to help prevent child abductions and support other families that have had to face this horror.
The case was alway open, but got an extensive review last year. That led to the arrest of a "person on interest" in October. His collection of neatly labeled child porn was found in his home. His DNA was matched with a sweatshirt of a young boy who was attacked just a few months before Jacob's.
His family never gave up hope, plus continued to work to prevent this happening to others. Patty Wetterling, the mother, gave key testimony before congress leading to passage of the bill that now requires sex offenders to be registered. Now what ever spark she held that she'd see her son again has been snuffed out. I never saw much hope, yet today's news struck me like it just happened yesterday.

Well they wouldn't have found him without the guy. Pretty sure the family wanted closure more than anything. Plus considering the civil commitment he isn't likely to ever get out anyway.

This is for yesterday.
I went to my nieces classroom and school orientation last night. There are a group of parents that I had become sort of friends with when helping out in the classroom last school year and I had run into them at various times over the past 6 months because of sleepovers or swim parties.
So I get a call on Sunday night from one of the women I'm closest to that was at a birthday party last weekend that my niece was at, she was giving me notice of what happened. My niece was asked by one of the many moms at the party how her dad was, they all know of his condition. She gave the standard 7 year old answer ----"good". Then they asked about Aunt Julie. My niece answered, "She's very good and very much in love. And she got a very pretty ring too." All the moms in attendance ears perked up at that. Then one of the moms asked, "Do you mean an engagement ring?" My niece answered, "It's a ring that says she loves her." Wanting clarification, she was asked, "You mean, he loves her." My niece said, "No, Aunt Julie got it from her girlfriend. They're in love. They even have sleepovers." I wasn't hiding it, but the grapevine just lit up at that statement. The mom telling me what happened said a few of the moms actually got their phones out and started texting.
So, on to last night at curriculum night at the school. I could feel the eyes on me. A lot of curious looks. A few unapproving looks from some women. Some dads I've never spoken with came up and introduced themselves -------like why? You never took the time before, but now you want to know me so you can what, watch? I was thinking wtf. I even watched as a one of the husbands walked back to wifey. A scornful look at him then a glance at me.
As the teacher was going over the curriculum, I felt just felt eyes on me. It's not a small school, but the 1 square mile neighborhood is close knit and everybody knows everybody, and most of them are church goers. I just felt out of my element and wanted to strangle someone. So, a very unpleasant evening to say the least.
And I thought it was okay to be with someone of the same sex. I thought my mom would be my biggest obstacle.
But, it's out there now, so move on, right? I was never trying to hide anything, there was no reason for me to send out a newsletter announcing it, right? So now I'm the talk of the neighborhood it seems. I'm not fine with what happened but I'll get over it. But then, after I got home I started thinking about my niece. I swear to god, if this affects her and her friendships one bit because a mom says something to her little susie that she can't play with my niece or something like that, I will f*#%ing take someone's kneecaps out.
I've decided to plan an end of the summer pool party for next weekend to see what the reception is. I will make sure my friend is there, not as moral support, but to show I'm not ashamed. There will be my old softball bat nearby if I need to use it. Hmm, I should probably also have a supply of crutches in case anybody needs help getting back to their car.
Batter up!
Okay. Done venting.

I've heard the whispers myself from people that I thought were my friends. The biggest "hurt" that I ever got was at a horse show when two women were talking about me and one told the other "Don't let your daughter near her (me) she's a Lesbian".. Like what..?? Did she think I was going to convert her 14 year old daughter into a Lesbian. People can be both stupid and cruel at the same time. And you happen to be right, You don't need to send out a news letter nor are you obligated to actually having to tell anybody. But you are doing the right thing with the pool party, now lets see who really is your friend, I hope for your niece's sake sake it all goes well and lots of kids show up (because in reality, the kids could not give a damn what you are, it's the parents that will screw it all up (for the kids)).

I have never cared for the good opinions of others. So this stuff gives me no trouble. 1. None of their fucking business. 2. See #1.
I've always cared about the opinions of other concerning myself. I started to say it is one of my faults, but I shouldn't view it as that. In this particular matter, I really don't care.
I've never judged anyone for their sexual preference, so if they want to be that type of person, I'm not going to change their mind. F-them.
It is my niece that I'm concerned about. Which I think to myself, they're adults and they wouldn't do something intentionally or not intentionally to affect a 7 year old girl, but then I think, well if little Susie can't have a sleepover with my niece because of me, then it affects my niece.
Putting on my batting glove, Jules

One of my kitties is dying. I think she drank anti-freeze because all the symptoms are that of kidney failure.
Her name is Priscilla. She came to us as a feral from the humane society. They were going to have to put her down as unadoptable, but were looking for a farm or similar situation for her. I told them that I managed a feral cat colony and I could try to integrate her into the colony if they had no other alternatives. So she came to us.
It turned out she was not feral, just very afraid. She moved into the house and soon became a very loving kitty. But she found an escape route out of the cat run and came and went as she pleased.
I am on watch, waiting for her last breath.
Go in peace little kitty.

I have no doubt she would. You have a special dog.
When I was born we had a Siamese cat. She had lost a litter of kittens and adopted me as her own. When non family members would approach my crib she would growl and hiss at them.
I've always had cats and one very special dog. She was such a good dog that I tried twice more with dogs and failed. I think I'll stick with cats, at least for now.

Hey you, just shush! :-*
What ruined my day today.... Listening to the radio on the way to work. In the metro Detroit area, a man suffocated his 4 and 7 year old children, then shot his 17 and 19 year olds execution style. He stabbed and shot his wife. Then he called 911. The 4 children have passed, the mother of the children is in critical condition. So so sad.

It was such a Gong Show at the plant this past week that I thought Chuck Barris was going to jump out at any moment. At one point I had 4 people in front of me demanding my attention, critical info being passed over the radio and the effin' boss calling on the phone asking me to measure something.
We average 150-160 people on site during the day on weekdays. Monday-Wednesday we had about 240 people working on a couple of large projects (power pole replacements, electrical sub-station commissioning) and production unit maintenance shutdown.
As confusing as it seemed to be, it is quite amazing that things were getting done. The power pole work and the sub-station commissioning should be done today. The maintenance work is 4 or 5 days behind schedule due to upper management not listening to the operators who said that it would take 14 days to do something. Despite the warning about 14 days, they scheduled 10 for the work. And THEN, something went sideways adding a day.

S'more making kits ready. Cider and donuts too.

I shouldn't complain, especially with all the miles Toe drives weekly, but I have to leave for Cleveland in a few minutes. What makes it so bad is that it just came up in the last half hour. I don't even have clothes to spend the night.

:) That confirms how much I like you JBRG. I sure do like the way you think. That was actually the plan. BUT, we got just east of Toledo and the customer called and said today was no good. Seriously?? We dropped everything to accommodate him and he cancels. He wants to meet this weekend instead. Yeah, I'm out of that meeting.

Except for Quebec. We already have a French area. Canada can remain Quebec, thank you very much.
Good luck! In the near future you'll all be drinking Labatt blue, calling people you don't like "hosers", ending each comment with "eh" and eating Canadian bacon with maple syrup at every meal while listening to Celine Dion.
Resistance is futile eh!

The hot young, yet ruggedly handsome mechanic called her into the back office. She followed him. He held the door open for her, then closed it after she walked in.
He said, "I don't usually do this kind of thing, but..."
He smiled slightly afraid at what her reaction would be, but he just had to do it.
"I saw the way you were watching me, and I was wondering if you would be interested in a better deal on your car repairs.
She smiled, feeling a little bit nervous, yet curious at what exactly he was proposing."

Serious and near total morale failure. Self-doubt, worry, self-inflicted emotional distress.
Don't you hate it when your imagination exercises in the wrong direction?
I do. I feel like I have a white hot knife stuck between my breasts. Anxiety attack?
Or just a shitty life experience?
There is something to be said to being unimaginative and dull. All I know is that I feel horrible right now and my arms ache for not having a loved one within their embrace.
What the hell am I doing baring my heart and soul in a sex site for? Am I stupid? Deficient in capability? Foolish?
Electrons offer no comfort, the void of the ether is cold and lifeless. I feel so alone, abandoned even by myself. Why do the darkest thoughts always arrive in the small hours of the night when the world is cold, sightless, and unloving?

My Local Post Office and Mail Carrier. I was supposed to have gotten a new Cell Phone yesterday in the mail (delivery date was for Yesterday, of course), but my stupid Mail Carrier decides NOT to deliver it, but to just simply take it back to the Main Post Office. I saw early this Morning on the USPS Website when I tracked the number again before going to Work that it was "Available for Pick up" at the Post Office, so I go there at 9 am to explain what had happened.
The Lady who waited on me said it was sent back out for redelivery for today! I was like "WTF?!" I said to her, "I hope it does get delivered to me, because if it's not I am coming back to speak with a Supervisor!" I also told her that this Mail Carrier all she does is fail to deliver my packages, letters I get, but packages no! I also have a Family Member who lives on another Street that this same Mail Carrier delivers the Mail on and he has seen her too busy talking on her Blue tooth device or talking to the Neighbors on his street instead of delivering the Mail!

Today was a productive day. I got review approval to publish two documents today and two PDF forms integral to their processes. Tiring, but satisfying. Updated another internal customer with their project and did more work on completing it. A total of 4 documents I worked on today.
My boss loves me, my co-workers appreciate me, and my customers think I walk on water and the water I don't walk on I turn into wine.
So what ruined my day? Personal anxiety. Relationship fears. A sour stomach, a racing heart, and a mind that won't fucking well leave well enough alone.
Yea, potential bad news drifted across the event horizon and I feel like grub in a chicken yard.

Phone call from brother in laws sister last night. She and her family have decided to come to Michigan for Thanksgiving. They'll be here tomorrow night.
Gee, thanks for the advance notice. At least she's staying at her dads house.
So you would think 4 more seats at the dinner table is not big deal, right. No, because she's coming, the other brother wants to come with his family. So that's 5 additional. Or 9 more total. I was already at 10.
I shouldn't be so bitter about it, but have been having some issues with this woman. Last time we were face to face, it didn't go so well. Her kids and husband are nice.
Bitch just better help with the dinner cleanup though. She's a spoiled little princess back in California.

Last thing I expect at 8:30 AM is a phone call from my wife. She was handed her lay off notice from the company she works for. Her last day is Friday. A victim of the economic downturn that has been affecting many in Alberta for the past 3 years (started when the price of oil cratered). Her employer is not an oil producing/exploration company. Rather they make camp/construction trailers. Sales have cratered and despite their best efforts to hang in there, things are not looking good. I can honestly say that this lay off is not unexpected. In fact, we were expecting it a while ago.
Bright side, my wife has never been unemployed for long and we have the equivalent of 6 months of her salary in the bank. And, my job is pretty rock solid. The company I am contracted to is a multi-national petro-chemical that makes plastic.

Blasted awake at 3am with a blinding sinus headache, spent an hour with one end on the crapper and the other end over a trashcan (dry heaves)... the rest of the day sleeping fitfully trying to recover. Vicodin is your friend in cases like this, but you have to hold it under your tongue or you'll puke it right back up.

Finally able to come home early and my friend had to go back to work just before I arrived here. Either that or she would have had to have gone in tomorrow(which she has day off). Was looking forward to our afternoon.
And, the Wicked Witch from the West (my brother in laws sister) is arriving in about 4 hours. ugh They're stopping here before going to her dad's house. She just misses her brother so much. Yeah, then why don't you facetime or call like I've been suggesting for the last few months.
Definitely didn't ruin my day, especially after reading the previous few posts here. So sad about the little girl, I hadn't heard about this yet. I hope you're feeling better Rope *hug*.

Trying to keep up with all of the incoming email messages having to do with cyber Monday offers. God, stop!
I did bite on a Amazon Echo though. I will probably return it. Depends on how good the speaker is.

Was having a bad day at work. I was actually so irritated I was shaking at one point. Got a call from home I didn't need. I just shut the door and started crying. Too much pressure sometimes. Just super emotional.
I had typed a bunch more but deleted it. Everybody has enough of their own shit going on in life, you don't need to hear mine.
Oh, as I was crying, my co-worker comes in and tells me someone backed into my car. And I didn't really care.
I'm totally fine now. My bumper is not.
I would go home and have a drink or four, but have a school thing for my niece. And my friend is getting back from her visit with her parents, hopefully early.

Had a very old and close friend of the family pass away yesterday. I had known her my whole life. She was one of my grandmother's best friends. She lived to be 98 years old, 10 years longer than my grandma. It's so hard to say goodbye to someone you have loved all your life, but it was a privilege just knowing her. She was a beautiful loving woman and I will never forget her. :'(

I know this is from 4 days ago. But I have to ask -- do Detroit drivers think they live in Vancouver when it snows?
As for today -- woke up yesterday with a sore throat. It continues today. Apparently I chased my wife out of bed last night with my snoring (doesn't happen unless I have a head cold). On a 1-10 feel-like-crap scale, I'm probably at a 6 right now.

Hope you feel better.
Yes, snow on the ground and the speed limit means nothing. If it's a four wheel vehicle, they think they are the kings of the road.
Headlines for.... ......Thursday - Police ID third victim from last week's 53-vehicle pileup (3 dead, 11 injured)
......then Saturday - 40-car pileup closes NB I-75 at Dixie Highway, 'gawkers' crash on SB 75 (37 injured)
We got 10 inches yesterday. I was expecting a mess this morning, but main roads were fine............not good enough to go 75 or 80 mph, but some dumb dumbs still were. I was in the cautious 45-55 mph lane to the far right.

What ruined my day today................ I was taking the garbage out this morning at 5:30. The garage door across the street opens so I know Carl is probably taking his garbage out. I hide behind my garbage cans and make a snowball. After he placed his garbage and was walking back up his driveway, I ran halfway into the street so I was closer and threw the snowball at him. I missed. My arm immediately hurt. That was about 3 hours ago and it's hurting more as the morning is going on.

I got a notification from the bank that there had been a refused charge on my credit card. Someone had managed to get both the CC number and the security code, but I guess they didn't have my zip code, so the web transaction was DENIED. Now I have to change credit cards and change the few repetitive charges that I hit it with (phone, water, and a couple of others), since I've been compromised.

Our eldest had his first drink-til-you puke session with his mates last night.
Unfortunately, he waited to do the puking until he got home.
Sent barefoot to investigate strange noises in the wee small hours, I found him kneeling next to a broken toilet in a pool of vomit, which I stood in.
Even worse, he had been drinking snakebite and black. That's pints of 1/2 lager, 1/2 cider, & a dash of blackcurrant cordial. Imagine the smell.
Still, he wasn't allowed to stagger off to bed until he had mopped up the worst of the mess and put his clothes in the washing machine, and he spent his hangover cleaning the floor properly and repairing the toilet, so not all bad...

Yep, and my contract for the second job was not renewed for the New Year. Not enough work right now to justify it they said. I hope things pick up so I can go back to making enough to survive.

So, my morning started out good - NOT. I ran over a squirrel. :'(
Better to take out a squirrel than something else. Waaaaay back in the day, I was car-pooling with a bunch of guys from work. Came to an intersection and saw a duck laying on the road with his neck broken. It was still alive. I didn't have time to properly finish the duck off properly so I drove over its head to take it out of its misery. Boy did I not live that down for quite a while.
The only thing that has ruined my day recently was the Canadian U-20 Men's Hockey team losing twice to the Americans. But that's hockey.

Being the kind person I am by inviting a couple of my brother in laws friends over to watch the Lions game with him, and having them yelling and swearing at the television for the last 3 hours like a bunch of sore losers.
Two minutes left, just end so I can go to sleep.

What ruined my day (really the last two days)?
I've been without sleep for about 65 hours now - ever since I started feeling really bad about being a jerk to a good friend in 1408. I know, if there is a place to be a jerk, it's 1408, but that doesn't mean one MUST be a jerk.
I made my apology, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Get well KitKat. Sinus infection and sinus headache over here. Everybody is keeping their distance from me. It's like I have the plague.
tell them I said it's not infectious. Now if you had a cold, different story ...
Well, I call it that. Could be a cold. Someone made a huge pot of chickenbroth for me with chicken of course. I need pampered a bit more. It's been lacking. hahaha

Thank you. I actually have a neti pot. Haven't used it in years. Was always warm water with the salt (?), I think. Never heard of apple cider vinegar. My doctor warned me against it years ago, but I never threw it away.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: Fish on January 09, 2017, 01:34:36 AM
The only risk with a neti pot is that you might get used to it and overuse - if you overuse, you can really dry out your sinuses to the point of constant nosebleeds. I know from experience.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: MintJulie on January 09, 2017, 01:40:17 AM
Similar to what my doctor said Fish.
I used to use a nasal spray when stuffed up. Became addicted. Not like OMG I GOTTA HAVE IT. My body just became dependent on it. My nose just wouldn't clear up on it's own. My sinuses didn't do the work because the spray would.
Funny because my sister was telling her husband about it and said, "She's such and idiot." He said, "I did the same thing in h.s."

She did make a good soup last night. I'll keep her around for a little while longer.

I fucked up big time with my 4 year old today.
I was watching a video on youtube, and she hopped up on my lap. The woman in the video, I kid you not, looks like my 4 year old but only much older of course. Same hair. Same mouth and smile. Same god damn fucking adorable cleft chin. ;D
She said "she looks just like me, mommy!"
And then I said the worst fucking thing I could ever say to her. "Maybe she's your real mommy." :emot_weird:
Yes, she is adopted. And I did not say it in a mean way. The woman is beautiful, and so is she. The retarded blonde was strong with me today.
She hopped off my lap and has not spoken to me since. At dinner she wouldn't even look at me and didn't want to eat her favorite thing: My wife's spaghetti.
Major fuck up. Major, major fuck up. So fucking stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What ruined my day........ I've been listening to XM radio the last couple days. Didn't watch the news yesterday. Woke up to 3 inches of snow. Everybody is saying, "They've been reporting about it since noon yesterday." My commute was twice as long as usual. Have I even mentioned we have moronic drivers here in Detroit.
Arrived safely. All that matters. Everybody is trickling in late.

My best friend's Mother just passed this morning. I am trying to be there for them, but I am finding myself dealing with returning emotions from my own mother's passing. For me this happened a little over a year ago, but now I am dealing with emotions again as if had just happened. Part of me feels like a selfish ass for this, and that makes me feel even worse. So yeah I am having a banner day for feeling like crap.

It took a lot of REAL mommy daughter talk and hugs but she forgave me. She was mad at the person who didn't want her but should have been the one person in the world who did.
I've raised her since diapers. Rubbed her tummy when it hurt, all night if I had to so she could sleep. I read stories to her every night. Whoever made her meant her for me. She's my daughter whether biologically or not and I'll never ever give her up. She calls me mommy because I am.

Speaking with a mom at the school last night. Just learned the price of girl scout cookies went up.
So, $4.00 for a box now. The troop gets less than $0.64 per box. Baking, transport and the GS org take the rest.
If you happen to come across some girls selling and you don't even want any, but feel you want to support their troop, just give them $1.00. They'll come out ahead and you won't feel guilty eating 16 cookies at 400 calories each.

You do realize that when you are menstrating, during your menatral cycle, your "period", you are "on the rag", and during that period your uterus is shedding cells, and preparing to be receptive for your eggs.
During that, you are not fertile. If you have a short cycle, or have sex at the end it is possible, though highly unlikely that you you can become pregnant.

Third, I've officially informed everyone in this house I am no longer on dog doody duty.

This just happened..... A lady at the gas station at the pump over from me. She came up to me and started yelling to me about not playing her grand daughter enough. (I had no clue what she was talking about). "It's a recreational basketball league and the girls should all get equal playing time." I said, "I'm confused...." She cut me off and said "there is no excuse for your actions. And the way you march up and down the sidelines like you think you're a professional and the game means something. I'm embarrassed for you." Then she turned her head and spit. Then she called me the C word. YES! the C word. A 60 year old grandma.
She wasn't hearing anything I said, so I let her leave without responding.
I guess I have a lookalike that coaches a basketball team in my city. Sheesh

A bone chip from a tooth that was pulled a few weeks back broke through the gum and the pain kept me up all night and half the day until the dentist could remove it. Surprising something so small, about the size of the head of a pin, like a paper cut can hurt so much.

Just a head cold or something knocking me out of whack. My equilibrium is off too.
In the past 48 hours, I've 'modified' a post instead of 'quoting' it. I've used 'hear' instead of 'here'. 'There' instead of 'their'. 'Though' instead of 'thought'. 'to' instead of 'too'.
I'm not really an idiot, I just play one on the internet.
I also misplaced my carkey at the house. Where did I find it? In the bathroom drawer where my toothbrush is. Why? Because it was a single key that I accidentally carried in with me in my front pocket, and I thought, "oh, I'll put it in my toothbrush drawer and will see it in the morning when I brush my teeth" all because I was too lazy to go back and hang it on the hook at the backdoor. Well, my deodorant had covered it and when I went to leave this morning it took me 5 minutes to figure out where it was. I never forget stuff like that.

Editing a procedure that is written so poorly, I have to question whether the writer knows and understands the procedure. What should have been a 4 hour task is turning into a week's worth of work.
And then they have to review it. It isn't going to be pretty.

You know, there is a reason they have a paper shredder in your office, you might consider using it and having the writer re-write the procedure so it appears to be "semi-comprehensible" to the normal average person. ;D

Taking written crap and turning it into written gold. I know what you mean. It took me 2 1/2 years but I finally got our standard procedures at work re-done. I started about 5 months after I started working there suggesting spelling and obvious changes to some procedures. About a year later, I did the same thing -- small changes. This year, I got tired of looking at the same shit repeated 3-4 times. The boss told me if I didn't like it, rewrite it. So I did. Cut the size down by 30%.

I have had to adopt the Klingon Tech writer Creed.
Klingon Technical Writers The top 15 things likely to be overheard if you had Klingon technical writers working for you: 15) Certification?! Having your hot blood dripping from my glistening blade is all the certification I need! 14) I will return to the homeworld and my documentation will arise triumphant in the STC Documentation Gauntlet, leaving all others drowning in their own dangling modifiers. It will be glorious!! 13) By not returning my review copies by the agreed deadline is a declaration of war. Indeed, it is a good day to die. 12) These specifications are for the weak and timid!! 11) This version of Word is a piece of GAGH! I need the latest version of Framemaker if I am to do battle with this manual. 10) You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon. 9) Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull! 8 ) What is this talk of "drafts"? Klingons do not make document "drafts". Our documents escape, leaving a bloody trail of SMEs in its wake! 7) Use of passive voice is for the weak. They will not survive. 6) Proofreading? Klingons do not proofread. Our documents are purified with pain-sticks which cleanses them of impurities and weakness. 5) I have challenged the entire Marketing team to a Bat-Leh contest! They will not concern us again. 4) A TRUE Klingon warrior riddles his document with bullets, leaving it to beg for mercy. 3) By changing the layout of my manual, you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to die! 2) You question the worthiness of my grammar? I should kill you where you stand! 1) Our users will know fear and cower before our suite of manuals and online help! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

I sympathise. When I was a grad student, a certain professor who was not an English speaker by birth had me proofreading all the papers she was submitting to journals and conferences. If my area of research had been even remotely close to hers it would have been much easier, but given the language gap and the fact that I had never researched her area it was a fucking nightmare. I did get free food and beer though so it wasn't all bad I suppose.

My ruined day was yesterday, but it's spilling over into today.
My little sister and I had a falling out. She's acting like a brat. She would rather wallow in self pity rather than accept the help several family members are trying to give her. It gets her more attention to play the wounded, misunderstood, victim teenager than getting herself some actual help does.
I am one of (if not) the only people who really understands what's going on with her as she is dealing with all the things I dealt with at her age and continue to deal with. I've tried reaching out to her and she ignored me. I've passed messages along to her using other family members, and she ignored me. So last night I had enough and I called her out on her bullshit and now she's blocked me because she's a fucking snowflake child who wants to say whatever she wants without opposition.
Something she doesn't realize is I am the ONLY person who is somewhat open to the relationship she (a 17 year old) has with a 21 year old baby daddy of two. She burned her bridge with the only person who was willing to fight the family on her side.
FUCKING STUPID BRAT!!!!
*Sighs heavily* There, I feel a little better now.

Unfortunately, There is no such thing as a sick day on a farm. Unless you are dying in a hospital bed you are out there taking care of the animals. FLU really sucks, but it sucks even more when you are having to work and race back and forth to the bathroom every 10 minutes.

Nothing went right this morning. :facepalm:
The baby wouldn't sleep. The kids wouldn't get their little asses out of bed. I had to pick the 4 year old up and remove her from it. The wife is bitching I don't want to go to some fancy restaurant tonight so I told her to leave me the fuck alone today and she stomped off mumbling in Japanese. My mom bitched about me taking the dog out to shit because it's still my fuckin' job to do it and no one elses. The kids left a disaster in the kitchen I have to clean up. :facepalm:
The baby is finally passed out. Everyone is gone. Fuck being a mommy today. :emot_banghead:

A phone call late last night from my niece. She's away at college. Her and her boyfriend broke up. We were on the phone from midnight until 2am. My friend and I are going out there now (leaving in 1/2 hour). We had nothing going on anyways and it was my friends suggestion we go. 4 hours each way. I hate driving.
So what to tell my niece? She's asking her 42 year old aunt unmarried aunt for relationship advise, an aunt who was shit on by every guy she ever dated. I'm kind of okay with the break up because he has been shitting on her and taking advantage of her for the 2 years they've been dating. We'll do lunch and what ever else she is up for.
So, I'll be off line all day as I am heading to the west side of Michigan.

Try feeding them "Corned Beef Hash with a Fried Egg on top"......That and Spam, were my dad's favorite breakfast food. (I think it was a holdover from his military days). The first time I tried the Corn Beef Hash I gagged (but I actually managed to swallow it). When dad asked me how was it, I just nodded my head and looked at my mom and whispered "this stuff taste like salty shit". dad as not impressed at all.

Had a detailed email from friends we'd meet every year in Mexico. We won't be going anymore. Thought I'd accepted it, but hearing about their first couple days I really got "Z"sick for the place. Lots of memories and pictures from over 25 years of visiting the same place.
Wife had a bout with suffering "mini" strokes and had one down there last year. Learning there was no medical care for her for that, she's afraid to go back.
Now we're visiting places closer to home and planning a big trip to the Black Hills in May with 30 other people from our camera club. Life goes on. :D

Our parents and grandparents all survived the Great Depression and WWII. They knew want. And hunger. They did not put leftovers in the garbage. "Waste not, want not." So I watched two grandmothers work magic all week with a Sunday roast, then stroganoff, then stew, then hash, and finally chipped beef, the lowly "shit on a shingle."
We didn't dare complain. It just wasn't done.
So today, I had had some left over chili, and left over Mac and cheese. Mixed them together, with left over Budweiser, and heated to 180°. Meanwhile fried eggs. You got your chili mac, a layer of melted cheddar, egg and Tabasco on top. Not gourmet, but filling, and a good start.
My kids all want Cordon Bleu. I'm taking my son out for dinner to his favorite restaurant for Birthday this week. His favorite escargot Baked Alaska haunt. I didn't even know what those dishes were at his age.

But honestly I can't blame her because he's soooooooo cute :D And kinda girly. Has girly hair. Probably couldn't tell he was a boy if you didn't know. But no. No, mommy's not ready for that.

Guess this could also go in "What Made Your Day", but I'm putting it here.
Neighbors were over last night and it was mentioned that the little girl is now selling Girl Scout cookies. I have to have Thin Mint every year at this time. We placed the order and asked when they needed the money and when we'd get delivery. They said, "Right now. Have everything at the house." In minutes we had our cookies and they had the money.
The bad/good thing is: Mom is the head cookie mother for the troop. There's over 1000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies just across the street!!! :emot_weird: :emot_weird: :emot_weird: All I need do is run over with a fist full of dollars and get more when we run out. Not a good situation of a diabetic and addict. :facepalm:

My gaming laptop has been getting amazingly hot. I have a cooling pad for it, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. My daughter and her friend couldn't get through half an hour of playing a game on it before it shut it's self off. I've had problems with this damn thing recently. Rather than chuck it and spend another $2000 I decided to take the fucker apart and see if the fan was working right. It was not. It was coated in dust and clogged with what I'll blame as dog hair. :roll:
I keep my house immaculate. I'd like to think you couldn't find a spec of dust anywhere. I vacuum so much I recently burned out a vacuum. But this fucker was absolutely fucking filthy inside. I had to take it to the garage and used a can of air to blow it all out then took the fan out, disassembled it and cleaned it. I used all my blonde IQ to figure out how to take it apart without destroying it. I put it all back together, crossed my fingers and turned it on. I set a game to it's max settings and ran it for about two hours to test it. Yesterday you could bake a cake on it, but today it didn't even get warm the whole time.
It seems to run much faster too. I cleaned it up spotless and it seems good as new. But this was a fucking chore. :facepalm:

What part of "it's going to cost you $xxx.00/hr as soon as the client says you're hired to a lawyer" did the client not understand? Maybe the client doesn't understand that going to court would probably cost her more than what she will owe now.
Reminds me of the knife sharpener who would charge $1.00 to sharpen a knife. A customer complained that the guy only used about 5 cents worth of material off his grinding wheel. Where did the sharpener get off charging a dollar? The sharpener's reply was that he charged 5 cents for the materials and 95 cents for knowing how to sharpen the knife.

The baby would not sleep, so neither could I. I am fucking exhausted. The girls were uncooperative this morning and I tried my hardest to keep my cool with them. Thankfully the wife stepped up and took charge of them and cleaned the kitchen.
But... some motherfucker decided to stick a fucking sign in my yard. It was also a leftist SJW message!!!!!!!!!! woo fucking hoooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I am in a horrible enough mood today because I haven't slept. The fucking thing said in English Spanish and fuckin' Arabic how proud we are to have them in our neighborhood, even though there are no fucking Arabs or Mexicans here!!!!!!!!! I know who did it. I ripped it out of my yard and delivered the fuckin' thing back to them and told them if they set foot on my property again I'd have them arrested.

I would never encourage someone to drink who doesn't drink, or doesn't want to drink. But you don't have to get drunk. I've found that just an ounce or two in a glass, sipped slowly, helps ease away the day's tensions, without my getting even close to tipsy.

I would never encourage someone to drink who doesn't drink, or doesn't want to drink. But you don't have to get drunk. I've found that just an ounce or two in a glass, sipped slowly, helps ease away the day's tensions, without my getting even close to tipsy.
Eight ounces or so of red wine a day does the same for me. Some nutritionists even say it could be beneficial for you. 8)
Well, bourbon is made from wheat, corn, barley, and water -- all natural ingredients, and all healthy ingredients. So, drink up!

Cleared my calendar for a major hearing in bankruptcy court tomorrow. Client calls up at the end of the day, and instructs me to cancel. Opportunity cost. And probably won't be paid for time spent or time lost.

Take the battery out of the laptop completely. Leave the power supply plugged in and try to start it. This will, if it works, make the diagnosis a battery problem. Beyond that, I'm not sure what the problem might be without seeing it.

My new fucking iPhone arrived yesterday. 7 Plus. 258 Gb. And as *always*, MAJOR HASSLES GETTING IT TO SYNC, load apps, contacts, photos, vids, music, etc. I've been working on it for 24 hours, more or less incommunicado, and I suspect it's going to take 15 more efforts to load over another week. I've had Apple phones for almost a decade, and have never had a restore go smoothly, much less quickly.

That stinks. I've never had a problem switching. At Christmas, I got my friend a 7. She had a 5c and didn't want to upgrade because of the hassle. We were done in an hour, with 99% of that hour was leaving it to sync. My last model switch I did from the cloud. Same thing, seamless transition. Wish I could help.

I'm eligible for an upgrade from my provider. However, I'm sticking with my 5s for the simple reason the iPhone 6 and 7 are bigger. Yeah, they are skinnier and lighter but I don't like the idea of carrying a mini-TV with me.

So my wife walks in the house after getting groceries and calls me down to the garage.
"We've got a leak and it's not your car. It's coming from the ceiling." she says. "Crap" says I. "That's not how I wanted to spend a Saturday afternoon."
So, I pull down a piece of drywall and start tugging at the insulation. Crap. I need help and I need some tools.
Now any excuse to buy tools is good by me. But, finding a leaking water line through 3 layers of insulation is not my idea of fun.
Called my brother and he was happy to come and help. Bring a ladder I say.
I go out and buy a 2 lamp work light setup. I get home and put it together. As I am finishing the assembly, my brother walks in. With a ladder. Turns out he was looking for an excuse to buy a new step ladder.
An hour and a half later, we have figured out where the leak is coming from. The toilet in the main floor bath room is leaking from the connector between the toilet and the water line. 20 minutes to fix it and another 15-20 minutes to put the insulation back.
In the mean time, by knocking the new work light over and then gravity proving what a bitch it can be, I need two new bulbs for my brand new light.
And THAT is what ruined my day.

The skill involved is more along the lines of finding the source of the leak. The fix was simply tightening up what the effin' plumber (me) didn't get right the first time.
As for the work light -- I need 2 new bulbs already because if fell over twice.

The do make heavy duty bulbs with tough plastic coating on the bulb. I used 'em in my walk in freezer.
I'm so dumb about plumbing that the last time we had a leak my male cat had to tell me about it. He was yeowling in the kitchen and when I went to see what was up, he started down to the basement. I followed and water was dripping through the floor from the kitchen sink. Smart cat, eh! OK...the water hit the cement floor and splashed into his litter box. Remember, with cats, it's all about their needs ;D (see my sig. line.)

Last night a group of friends and I went for a meal in a plush hotel. We'd booked in advance and even ordered our food in advance. All went well, the starters arrived and were very tasty.
Then the main meals arrived except the hotel had f*cked up three orders and had the audacity to tell us they were serving what we'd ordered. A copy email of the order proved them wrong. For three of us there was a delay whilst the correct meals were prepared. An apology was made but no offer of any recompense... but the bill arrived and there was a healthy deduction from the overall cost.
It still spoiled what was supposed to be a good evening out...

Complications after a tooth extraction. Been having some pain for a few weeks and they did an x-ray yesterday. Got a call this morning after the dentist was able to examine them. While the gums healed nicely there is an infection in the bone socket. He may need to go in to drain and clean it if antibiotics don't work well enough. He wanted to make the appointment though to make sure it does not lead to bone damage.

A young woman at work made a bad choice in handling a forklift, and ended up with a three-way battle between a heavy steel building beam, the forklift, and her hand. Her hand lost the battle, of course. They had to scrape and scrub pieces of her hand off of the beam and forklift later... I had to review the accident. I'm still a little nauseous after the review.

By the time the cast comes off, I'll have spent 5 months dealing with a simple broken wrist. I'll have an excellent chance of a full recovery. My co-worker? Not so much. I'd heard she spent nearly 18 hours in surgery with a team of doctors working in shifts to save as much as possible. Mine was only 7 hours (one surgeon), for comparison.

Discovered last Thursday that we have some fascia coming off. Contacted a roofing company to get it fixed on Friday. They came out and looked at the job and said they would be back on Saturday. Well, it rained. We have cedar shakes on our roof which become almost like ice (traction wise) when wet. So, they called and said they would be contacting us about coming out later. Wednesday now and we haven't heard from them yet. I called this morning and am waiting to hear back.

So do I. I know way too much about metal fatigue and such and am worried that it will break off in the wind and do damage to somebody else's property.

Yesterday.
Spring clean up in the yard. 8 hours of raking out leaves from the flowerbeds, cutting ornamental grasses down, trimming rose bushes, fertilizing and spreading mulch. My forearms look like they've been whipped because of all the little cuts on my arms. Muscles are hurting today that I never knew existed. I really need a massage.

Watching the show 'Survivor' tonight and, at tribal council, one contestant outed another contestant (Zeke) for being transgender. I was shocked the moment it was said and began to cry when the camera showed Zeke's expression. I felt so terrible for him. The poor guy.

An employee collapsed with a seizure in the parking lot. After a staff member alerted me, I ran outside to find four people standing around him going "Durrrrr...." So I tell one guy to call 911, and what to tell the dispatcher. Then had another help me roll him over so we could check vitals and start CPR. I'm thinking, "WTF. I'm probably the oldest, and least healthy, guy in the firm, and yet I put in the longest hours and now have to save people's lives also."
Anyway, the dude came to, and is going to be okay. Turns out he's been off his heart meds for three weeks, because of benefits changes. Refused to go to the hospital. I made his wife come to the office and take him home.

Was at our favorite wildlife refuge this weekend. The DNR had done controlled burns to get rid of last years brush. Found out later they lost control at one spot...a spot where there was an Eagles nest in a tree. One of the members of our photo club stopped and warned em there was a nest there. They went ahead and lit the brush. It got out of control, crowned and burned the Eagle's nest, with eaglets in it. Still so mad at those idiots. The parents are still around, unable to leave the area.

I was talking with my mom on the phone while standing in line at the grocery store. I said, "What time will daddy be home?" I heard two girls (18ish) behind me snickering. And I heard one say, "omg, is she 10? Daddy?" And they laughed again. I turned around and stared at them. A friend of theirs came up and he could sense the tension. "What's going on," he asked. I kept staring at the girls, then I squinted my eyes a little, looking back and forth from one to the other. Nobody said anything. The boy finally said, "Whoa, this is intense." The two girls got out of line and walked back into the store. I heard one say, "What the fuck is wrong with that Psycho." Little bitches.
I've always called him that. I even refer to him here as my daddy.

Kori Ali Muhammad, a black Muslim, murders 3 white people, screams "Allahu Akbar" and it doesn't trend on twitter, CNN and Fox don't give two fucks, and the media that does report it claim it wasn't a hate crime. Even though people with IQ's found his facebook and shit and he's all about murdering whitey. You know what would have made the news? If the cops didn't take him alive. Then there would be riots in the streets.
And the other day when that black man in Cleveland murdered a black man and there was a manhunt, the news called him "dark white skinned".
She is pregnant by a man she has been seeing in costa rica. And it isn't a relationship that includes children or long term relationship, or marriage.
Been there. Done that. Wait till she calls you from labor and delivery, while she's squeezing his kid out. And sends you photos of her cuddling with the little bastard. Ugh. PTSD moment. I feel for you. Really.

No, I'm not putting this in politics or 1408, and you know why I'm not. :roll:
There were front page articles about Kori Ali Muhammad in the New York Times both yesterday and today. They specifically indicate that Muhammad "wanted to kill as many white people as he could before he was captured," and they directly label it a hate crime. Today's article quotes the Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer:
"He provided some very specific detailed information that caused our detectives to believe that this was motivated based on hate and not based on any terrorist act. This is solely based on race."

Perhaps you need to expand your definition of "the media" and "the news" to something beyond "what's trending on twitter"?
You just proved my point.

Daughter and Son-In-Law have been in town the last week from Upstate New York. Got with 'em several times and had nice visits and had fun with the dog and cat they bring with. They said they were leaving tomorrow (Wed.) and we were going out this afternoon to say goodby.
I called after getting back from the dog park to see when would be a good time to come out. Didn't get an answer, but a few minutes later she called back. They decided to head back today to get ahead of a storm that was predicted. They were nearly to Chicago when I heard from her. Guess I'll see them in October. :(

Wow P. I am so sorry to read that. I can kind of relate to his reason for not telling you and others. My sister wished she could just spend her last visits in her final weeks as she had always spent time with her friends, just enjoying each others company. She appreciated how sympathetic many were, but she just wanted her friends to really enjoy their last times together, and not be in low spirits. I can't say for sure, but perhaps this may be why he didn't say anything to you and others. You can be sure he walked away from your last meeting with a smile for having the opportunity to see you one last time, and he likely shed a tear at the same time. I'm sure you'll miss him. I'm so sorry. Hugs to you, Jules

Was going to buy a horse yesterday....."but"......He failed the Vet Check for soundness. Unfortunately I had to send him back to the owners.....a beautiful little bay gelding. ________________________________________________________________________ Update: Today........ Just found out that the owners were hoping I would take him off their hands (apparently they didn't want him anymore (disposable horse / pet)). Discovered from the feed store that he's headed for the slaughter house (I feel like crap).
Love, Liz

That is so sad Liz. Same thing happens to so many dogs, cats and other pets that seemed like the right thing to get at the time. Should be a waiting period before people can buy a pet.
I know there's rescue groups for horses. Any in your area, if it's not to late?

Wow P. I am so sorry to read that. I can kind of relate to his reason for not telling you and others. My sister wished she could just spend her last visits in her final weeks as she had always spent time with her friends, just enjoying each others company. She appreciated how sympathetic many were, but she just wanted her friends to really enjoy their last times together, and not be in low spirits. I can't say for sure, but perhaps this may be why he didn't say anything to you and others. You can be sure he walked away from your last meeting with a smile for having the opportunity to see you one last time, and he likely shed a tear at the same time. I'm sure you'll miss him. I'm so sorry. Hugs to you, Jules
Thanks MJ. I do support his decision and I understand it. I would want my last visit to be fun not sad.

The part from the local supplier is $550. Because the car is so old to replace the coil/condenser we have to replace the entire distributor unit. They don't sell it separate bits anymore. But I found the unit online for $280. I talked to the mechanic and he called his supplier who will bring his part down to $300. This will bring the cost down to $500 total, including the $150 diagnostic fee I've already racked up. Looks like it might be doable.

Wow!! Points and condenser ignition. I love it! That's back when cars were made of steel instead of Chineseium (100 points to the first person who can cite the reference). The average person has to work 2 to 4 hours for every shop hour to pay for the rates they charge. Not saying they aren't worth it, but it's an up hill battle for many. As a rule I do absolutely everything I can reasonably (including engine/transmission swap). I only go to the shop for computer related stuff. Even then I typically only pay for the diagnostic then go fix it myself. Amazon is a great source for parts. Sounds like you're a savvy consumer and won a small battle. Nice work!

I fell of a ladder and hurt my ankle on Sunday. I went to the ER on Monday and found out I broke it. They were hoping to admit me so I could get surgery on it Tuesday, but there was no room, so they sent me home in a semi-cast called a splint. I have to keep it elevated all the time or it swells up and gets very uncomfortable in the splint. That means mostly lying in bed, so I'm not on the computer much. It's a good thing I bought a couple of books.
Really bummed because I planned to go to Palm Springs the weekend of 9-11. I'm going to wait until I talk to the doc tomorrow before deciding if I'm going now.

I really wish I was better at this whole Domme thing. It takes a lot of time and I'm such a home-body. I really only have time and energy for one, and that's because he takes much of the initiative.
One fellow has offered yard and house work if I make him get naked and wear women's underthings. But he is just exhausting to communicate with. "I'm so scared and nervous." he says.

I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. I tried to talk them out of it, but because I broke both sides of the ankle it has to be.
They gave me percocet for the pain. I took one last night and it was way too strong. I was nauseous all night and into the next day. UGH. I cut one in half for tonight. Still upsets my stomach a bit, but if it dulls the pain enough to sleep that's all I need.
I can't take any vitamin E, fish oil, or ibuprofen before surgery. I'm going to be missing the ibuprofen. It worked as a pain reliever and to reduce the swelling. I have no idea why vitamin E and fish oil are restricted, but ibuprofen works as a blood thinner and it is understandable they don't want a person that won't stop bleeding during surgery.

Vitamin E & fish oils also have blood-thinning effects.
Though their effect is not as great as for ibuprofen, you're still supposed to stop taking both at least a week before surgery.

You're in all of our thoughts. Tuesday seems so far away. Is it because of all the swelling? Hopefully you have a somewhat restful weekend ahead.

I am in agony. No more ibuprofen and the swelling is so severe that the splint has dug into my shins causing bruising and dents. I know because I've finally unwrapped it so I can ice it. Will call tomorrow and see what I can try. They should have written a script for celebrex.

So sorry this is going so bad for you, Lois. I have to wonder about the medical care out there. Making you wait so long before surgery is hard to understand. I know how tough broken ankles can be. Wife managed to break both hers in one fall a few years ago. She was totally helpless so was admitted right away and ended up with two weeks in rehab too.
I hope you have someone who can get some more ibuprofen to you. And yes, ice should help the swelling. Is there an urgent care facility you can call today? Hope you get help soon. Thinking of you.

Lie face down on your bed, get somebody to massage your scalp with their fingertips, top of your head and down to your neck.
While they're doing that, try the 4-7-8 breathing exercise, closing your eyes and picturing your favourite KBers wiggling their interesting parts to distract you...

Called the hospital last night and they said to come in right away. They re-wrapped the splint a little looser and that helped a lot. Still hurts because of the damage from have in too tight for so long, but getting better.
No ibuprofen until after surgery.
And yes, I live in the USA and I'm not rich, so of course my medical care is lousy. It is a very long time to wait for surgery. If I was in Europe, they would have admitted me on the spot and gotten surgery within 48 hours. But not here. Here we pay more and get less.
I can't even start recovery until the surgery is completed. And even then it is an outpatient procedure. No wonder the US leads the developed world in post surgery infections. I am expected to wash myself before the surgery with DIAL soap, when I cannot even clean myself properly because I cannot stand up in the shower.

OUCH... I feel your pain, Lois! Perhaps more poignantly than most. Depending on the OR, I might recommend a Betadine scrub of the whole lower leg before heading in, as chlorhexidine is hard to come by for us normal folks. Chloraprep is what they use for surgical prep, but Betadine is a good second choice, though it'll stain your skin for a few weeks.
I missed this entire thread until now... didn't know you were emulating me. :'( Falling off of ladders isn't fun, but at least you'll be healing while I'm still waiting the SECOND surgery on mine.
Dunno what your diet is like, but I'd recommend two supplements, both can be had at a decent Farmer's Market or Whole Paycheck: 1) Source of Life 'Bone Support' (organic calcium, magnesium, D3 & K2) 2) Trace Minerals Research 'ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops' (get the small bottle)
Even if you heal normally, those two will help speed new bone growth after the surgery. You only need 'em for about 6 to 8 weeks.
Ugggghhh... wearing an ankle cast in Tucson summers...
edit: Crap! I forgot... ziplock freezer bag with 1 part isopropyl alcohol, 2 to 4 parts water (more water in the ratio makes it more solid, so 1:4 is the most firm, 1:2 the most flexible). Drop it in the freezer (make 3 or 4 of 'em), makes a cold pack that will conform to your hurting ankle better than bags of ice (or whatever). It won't freeze solid, so it's flexible.

They made me wait six days for surgery, for no other reason than no additional OR's were available. Charged about $15,000 per day to "stabilize and monitor."
Saturday night, they showed up in my room and said I was discharged. No instructions on wound care or medication. Just "see your doctor in 2 to 4 weeks." 'Murica.

Lois, NSAIDs (Ibuprofin, Naproxen, etc.) all block or significantly slow the healing process, so get off of them as soon as you can. Aspirin and narcotics don't have the same effect, so they're OK to take unless you have problems with one or the other.
I can recommend Vicodin, myself. Dr RopeFiend *LIKES* Vicodin when he's in pain. Luckily that's pretty rare.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: Lois on June 07, 2017, 05:24:58 AM
If I don't take ibuprofen, it will swell and cause damage in the cast. I'm using ice, but it really does not penetrate the bandage. Not to worry. I will limit the use of ibuprofen to control the swelling until it subsides.
They also gave me vicodin on steroids: percocet. But it makes me nauseous. They gave me lots of opioids after surgery to control the pain until the nerve block was redone. It didnt really help and left me with a terrible headache and some nausea.
Also drinking lots of water.

Yeah, that's why I don't ask for Percocet... it's too strong most times. I just wish Vicodin didn't have Tylenol in it. You can't safely double-dose the Vicodin 'cos you run the risk of a Tylenol overdose that kills your liver. The 'safe range' on the hydrocodone in Vicodin is quite high, though. If it weren't for the Tylenol, you could safely take up to 9 times the Vicodin dose of hydrocodone, if needed. Tylenol is fuckin' worthless as pain relief, and should ONLY ever be prescribed to reduce a fever. Aspirin works better for pain relief, and has a wider therapeutic range than Tylenol (acetaminophen) does.
You'll probably need the ibuprofin for a couple of weeks, best guess. That's about twice as long as it took for the swelling in my wrist to go down, but I wasn't walking on my wrist and could keep it elevated more easily.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: _priapism on June 08, 2017, 06:26:20 AM

If it helps, it's good.
I'm allergic to codeine and suspect I'm allergic to the percocet as well. I think that's why I get so nauseous when I take it. But it does help with the pain. I would prefer vicodin. Not so strong.

I agree with your philosophy: if it works, it works.
I have the same reaction as you to strong painkillers, especially demerol. They make me almost instantly nauseous, with the typical results. The first time I took it (kidney stones), after about 4 minutes I started barfing uncontrollably.
Hydrocodone doesn't make me nauseous, and it's extremely effective. However, it's also extremely addictive. When I took it the first time, it kicked in right away and my abdominal pain from the kidney stones vanished very quickly. It also made me feel wonderful, almost euphoric. Which, of course, helped me understand why it's abused, and why there's currently an epidemic of abuse of hydrocodone.
Ibuprofen (like Midol and Motrin) works wonders. It's a painkiller and a muscle relaxant.

Finding out that most folks along the street here (including my neighbors) have bedbugs, and I'm the only one actively fighting 'em. When I get 'em killed off here, they'll just be back again to terrorize me.
The 'rash' I had didn't itch until I knew it was bedbugs, so that's purely psychosomatic. The itches are still about to drive me nuts, even though I know it's all in my head.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: Lois on June 16, 2017, 09:28:51 PM
Nope. You are wrong. Most people do not react to their first bedbug bites. It's an allergic reaction and once sensitized it gets worse over time.
Bedbugs moved into my home three years ago when a neighbor moved and they moved out looking for new people to bite. I never even actually found any bedbug signs except for the telltale 3-4 bites in a row or cluster. I treated for bed-bugs and they went away. I'm lucky I caught them early and I before I had a real infestation.
Bed bugs are becoming a real problem. We almost eradicated them at one point but they are making a big come back. It will take a real concerted effort by everyone, including the government (and governments worldwide), to eradicate them again. And we need to move quickly before they become resistant to the pesticides that are safe to use in our homes.

They're already resistant. Poisons that worked on them 10 years ago aren't working today. Sadly, I'm severely limited to what I can use indoors, as I have a violent reaction to most poisons. My lungs close up, similar to bronchitis. If it's outdoors, it's not nearly as bad of a reaction, and Benadryl will usually keep my lungs open.
And I was getting bites for almost 3 weeks before I diagnosed the cause. No itching until I knew it was bedbugs. Sounds psychosomatic to me.

My computer crashed at work. Came back from vacation to have a very unproductive day yesterday as my computer ran very slowly. I had our IT kid come look at it. He immediately started doing backups. This morning the computer was running for a bit and then pooped out. Sent IT kid to BestBuy to get new computer. He's setting it up now. Meanwhile, my old computer finally booted and after 30 minutes, Chrome opened, and here I am. Just waiting for IT kid to deliver my new computer. I should have stayed on vacation for Thursday and Friday also.

Was all excited for a new workstation at the plant. It got setup, I started testing it and all was looking good. Then, 3 times in the space of 24 hours the "new" (it was actually a repurposed Dell Optiplex) crapped out. Working away and the screen goes black as if somebody had pulled the plug.
Project new workstation is on hold until we can get a new (brand new virgin computer) one set up.

Not able to sleep last night AGAIN! The air-boot I have to wear to support my broken ankle rubs on the surgery incision on the inside right side making it a sensitive pressure point. This makes getting comfy enough to sleep very difficult. I finally fell asleep around 4am and slept until noon.
I was trying to get my sleep schedule back to a normal one last night because I go back to work tomorrow. So I took two sleeping pills but they did not work.
I hope I get some sleep tonight.

Going back to work after six weeks unpaid medical leave. I am grateful to still have a job, and I need a paycheck, but it's a tough mental switch to stuff yourself back in the office after so long an absence. Also, everyone's "office complaints" seem rather trivial, after a near death experience, and gazing into the gaping maws of eternity.

Received word that someone that I consider a friend will be moving. The news saddened me. I only had one way to contact her, but it has been disconnected. So now I have no way of getting in contact with her. I hope to hear from her before her departure.

Like Julie, we are losing a close friend today. Ruby, the sweet Basset Hound of our neighbors will be moving to the other side of the metro area (about 20 miles).
Wife started taking care of her and another Basset when they were only a few months old, letting them out when owners were at work. Now Ruby is 11 years old, so she's been part of our lives for over ten years.
Wife took them to the dog park after the back yard romps weren't enough. When she ended up breaking both ankles one icy winter day, I took over the dog park trips. Today will be our last visit there. Many of the other regulars at the park will also be missing her, even if she gets a little snippy at strange dogs approaching too quickly.
I know we'll still see her once in awhile, but it's still a loss after being in Ruby's life for all these years, including dealing with her diabetes discovered while her owners were on vacation. Besides the dog park visits, we get called on to feed her and give her insulin shot when "Mom and Dad" go out early on weekends and wife stays with her when they're on vacation .
In addition wife started making outfits for various holidays and dressing them up. I take the pictures and at the end of the year we make a calendar with all that year's costumes. We still have 5 more pictures to complete the 2018 calendar, so there will be those opportunities. Here's Ruby celebrating the 4th. (http://i.imgur.com/O9MhFhH.jpg)

For a kitchen you need GFI, right. Each receptacle does not have to be. Only the first one does and then everyone after that does (I think it is referred to as "in series"). Either you have a bad GFI,or one of the receptacles that follow is either wired wrong or a bad receptacle. Same thing happened with the remodel of my bathroom.

I thought I did. Obviously I didn't but I think I'm smart enough to know when to let a professional do it.
I also have a problem with a 4 way light switch set up (3 switches to control 1 light). Again, I thought I wired the new switches exactly the same as the old ones but ...
Jules, we want GFIs in the kitchen BUT, they were not required when the home was built. And to install them would require a completely new breaker panel. Overall, the exercise would be VERY expensive. We know this because my wife works for an electrical company and sees the billing for their clients.
As for your comment, Katie --- been there - done that.

Remember I'm posting from the UK...
A popping breaker is a short or an overload somewhere - either across the live/neutral, or to Earth ("ground" to colonials), or the thing you are plugging in has developed a fault and the fuse in the plug is too big.
I think the short is probably the most likely, and the first thing I would look for is stray strands of the multi-core wire. They can be almost invisible in the shadowy guts of a wall socket, but still enough to provide a route for current to flow the wrong way. Next time the breaker trips, leave it tripped and open each socket in turn, sniffing for that "electrical burning" smell, and looking for signs of soot or charring, then fixing the stray wire.

Post by: JBRG on July 21, 2017, 08:07:24 PM
Both problems are now solved.
1. the counter plugs --- wired correctly BUT I had forgotten about clipping the tabs on the right side of the plugs. Therefore, they were in a permanent short. Clipped the tabs and the problem went away.
2. the 4 way/3 way switch problem was one of incorrect wiring. I wired the new 4 way switch the exact same way as the original (the wires on the right side were wired to the right side of the new switch -- left side to left side). HOWEVER, the new switch was not wired the same way internally.

Changing out the light switches from standard to Decora. Simple enough. Turn power off, take out old switch, put new switch in making sure it is wired exactly the same as the original. Turn power back on and test.
Then one of the lights doesn't light up when the switch is turned on. WTF? How can I mess it up. It's 2 fuckin' wires. 2.
I'm about to call a professional when my wife decides to tell me that the bulb burnt out a couple of days ago. ARRRGGHHH!!!!!

That is hilarious. Well, it is after the fact. Can you imagine the electrician coming in and changing the light bulb.
It's sort of like the troubleshooing guide in the back of a coffee maker I once bought. "Make sure plug is connected to a power source."

Walked into the office this morning. Turned on the light and there was a 4 inch centipede crawling across the floor. I screamed and ran out. Major goosebumps. Then I thought, 'I can't go back in until I know it's dead.' So I went back in and squished it with my shoe. More goosebumps as I felt it crackle and crunch. *shiver*

We call the cats for any bug problems. In August there are big black moths that get in the bathroom somehow. When I'm in there getting ready for bed, two or three will usually come in. I call the cats and they both come running. The girl gives it her best, but usually misses. The boy is deadly. One swat with his paw and the beastie is down (leaving black powder in the tub or on the wall.
***Warning...eeewwwwww factor ahead
Quick wipe takes care of the powder. The boy eats his kill. No muss little fuss.

We always ran into that in Zihuatanejo, down the coast from there. Locals told us to never give 'em any money. They usually were for Central America and faced worse discrimination from the Mexicans that the Mexicans face up here. It's hard to see the suffering, I know. For as much as we complain about the politics up here, it pales compared to what you can see in Mexico and other poor countries.

A private school only 16 blocks from our house blew up this morning. Several injured, one dead and one still missing. There were many student athletes there but none injured. The girls cross country team and just left for their run when the bang occurred. A contracting company was installing gas pipes and a gas meter. Someone fucked up big time. There was a warning shortly before the explosion and many were able to get out in time. What makes it even worse is the community has been reliving the collapse of the I-35 bridge, 10 years ago. That killed 13. Somehow seeing pictures of the collapsed building and the injured being help seems much worse when it's a location I've driven by so many times.

What ruined my day...... Had a day with a friend planned for her birthday. Lunch, shopping, movie, light dinner with drinks. Well, we were heading from the movie theatre to the restaurant for dinner and she got a call from her husband. Her son was riding his bike and a dog started chasing him. He ended up falling from his bike and went to the hospital with a broken arm. Poor thing. The dog has been a problem in their neighborhood for a couple of years. He didn't hurt him, just scared him.

You would think a home improvement store that sells installation service would actually have the installers install what is in the store. Went to both Home Depot and Lowes for a simple wood core steel clad entrance door. Price for the door at Lowes -- $264. At Home Depot $312. Had an installer representing HD come by and he quoted me $3000 for delivery, installation of new door and disposal of the old door. I looked at him like he was on drugs and he explained that the new door would be a super-duper high quality fibreglass door. I told him that I wanted (and showed him cell phone picture) was a door similar to the one I want replaced. His response was that they don't install the stuff that is actually in the store.
I learned that Lowes works the same way. If I buy a door from the store, their installation service won't install it.
As I sit here typing, our plan is to spend a couple more years here then sell the place and become hoboes for 1/2 year (buy a motorhome and travel across Canada and back) before settling down someplace different. Other than keeping the weather outside, we really don't give a crap about the door. We live in a townhouse condo. A super-frazmic door isn't going to increase the resale value of our home.

Has anyone ever told you that your foot fetish is a bit over the top?
Personally, I am fascinated by human feet in the natural environment. I have gone to countries where shoes are unknown. Are you aware that humans can develop a very thick sole on the bottom of their feet that is impervious to rocks and thorns? It is really awsome. Humans are amazing!

Being off of here on Saturday and Sunday I logged on this morning and went to my "Unread since last visit" .
Started on page 4 (last page), made it to page 3-1/2 when someone came in my office. Instead of minimizing, I closed it.
Logging back in, my "Unread since last visit" is just 5 posts. Now I have to work a bit harder to see what I missed the last couple of days.
Oh, well, if that's the worst that happens....
If that happens to me [at home - I don't browse KB at work], I quickly open and close the handful of unread threads, even if they're of no interest to me, then hit the "unread" button again - that then reveals an "all unread" option for me to trawl through, which often gets to as many as 15-20 pages of threads.
BTW - welcome back!

Locked out of the dog park. Took my little Basset Buddy Gus to the dog park as usual. As we neared the park (It's next to the airport) an Airport Policeman stopped us. He said the dog park was closed. Someone had been spotted climbing the fence into the runway area and they were doing a search.
I turned the car around and as we retraced our route, I glanced over my shoulder. His chin was on the back of my seat and his eyes looked so sad. I found a place to park and we walked for awhile, until the rain started again. Not a good dog park day, but Gus was happy. Dogs are so easy to please.

I can understand why they closed it. The city built a dog park right next to where I teach motorcycle riding. When a dog "escapes", we stop what we are doing until the mutt has been rounded up. Thankfully it happens only 2 or 3 times per year.

No it wasn't a dog. A person went over the fence. That's what they were looking for. Just keeping everyone away while they searched. The airport owns the dog park area and lets dog owners or walkers, in my case, use the area.

Here is a joke for you:
An elderly gentleman in a nursing home was dating an elderly widow. The gentleman would play with her pussy and spend the night in her room. One day the widow told him that she did not want to see him anymore, that she had found a new gentleman caller.
He was very upset and asked her, "What does he have that I don't have?"
She replied, "Parkinsons."
Indeed, I dated a gentleman with Parkinson's for a time and it was very nice.
Now I know Parkinson's gets steadily worse, but there are some incredible advances being made to stop its progress. Hopefully your friend will be one of the first to benefit from these advancements.

Does the doc have any idea what caused this? :emot_weird:
I have a meet & greet with him on Tuesday. Yeah, I'll ask, but he'd already blamed it on my high-fiber diet. You need fiber in your diet to keep things running smoothly, but on the AutoImmune Protocol I'm on, my diet is 80% veggies, 10-15% meat, and 5-10% fruits, berries and seeds. BOATLOADS of both digestible and nondigestible fiber in the veggies, and the gut bacteria are overwhelmed with food. Apparently constipation is a common result of the AIP diet, from what I've read.
<reply to Staci> I'm not grouchy, I'm in better spirits than I've been in a long time. ;D
Oh, and my new (as of January) GP is finally coming around. She still wants me to stop smoking, but the diet change impressed her. I'm kinda/sorta following a path that her parents (Ayurvedic practitioners in India) would be supportive of, though she can't openly since she's a regular allopathic MD. She approved of what I've been doing (full lifestyle change, including eliminating toxins in my home environment).
Herm.... one thing that Gina hadn't noticed about going Paleo (roughly the same as my diet) is that the total volume of semen from an ejaculation is down to half or a third of what it'd been on my former diet (organic vegetarian). Not a girl thing, so it wouldn't hit on her radar.

I'm unusually skinny... WILDLY so. So much that I have to special-order my jeans here in Dallas. Then 10 weeks ago I went sorta-Paleo and lost another 8 pounds in about a week. I lost about a pound off the belly, 1 to 2 off the hips, and MY ASS IS GONE. I went from a cute little bubble-butt to just FLAT GONE. So, no more padding. Nada. Zip. There's maybe a half inch or more of muscle between the pelvic bone and the ground. I plopped down on the floor like I've done all my life and damned near broke my pelvis. The kitchen is tiled, no bounce, and I ain't got the cushion I used to have. I have to be careful from now on. :-[

I'm on a diuretic, which pretty much makes my colon Death Velley Days. So, I ate two cans of Hormel chili recently. Took four days to come out. Try Uncle Sam's cereal. It's like eating ground glass mixed with sand, but at 11 grams of fiber per serving, it will clean your alimentary canal.

I'm not sure what 'Uncle Sam's cereal' is, but it's probably forbidden on my Autoimmune Protocol diet. I get plenty of fiber... BUTTLOADS of fiber. :emot_coolasssshk: Two weeks ago the doc said that was the problem (excess fiber causing my little bacterial friends to go berserk).
So, not enough fiber = constipation, and too much fiber = constipation. I'm screwed either way, 'cos I'm not changing my diet for at least 6 months. I'm staying almost pure AIP until then to give it a realistic chance at working, and then I'll have the TPO antibodies retested to see if the immune response is lowering. If it's working, then I stay on the AIP diet until the antibodies are down in the 'no further damage' stage, then I'll start adding SOME of the currently-forbidden foods (like eggs, nuts and cheese) back in. However, I'll be gluten-free forever, whether the AIP diet works or not. There's just TOO much evidence that gluten caused the initial autoimmune response, and I can't afford a flare-up.
Google to the rescue! Here's the poop on 'Uncle Sam's cereal', and yep, it's got gluten:
Uncle Sam High Fiber Breakfast Cereals An American Original since 1908, Uncle Sam high fiber cereal has nourished families for over 100 years! With two varieties of Uncle Sam high fiber breakfast cereals to choose from, it's easy to find a flavor to love. Hard red winter wheat berries with flaxseeds make this a wholesome high fiber & heart-healthy cereal. Stay fit, full and feeling your best with Uncle Sam breakfast cereals featuring all the benefits of high fiber.
Hmmm... the flaxseed should be ground before eating to get the benefit, or else it passes through the alimentary canal virtually undigested. If you like seeds in your poop, cool for you! I grind my flax, but it spoils REALLY rapidly after that. I grind what I'm going to use right at that moment.
Uncle Sam's 'gluten free' cereals are also forbidden, as they're either rice or corn based. I'm not allowed ANY grains, although the Celiac crowd says that gluten-free rolled oats don't cause them any GI issues, and Celiacs are the Gold Standard for GI problems. I've had a few bowls of GF oatmeal in the last 10 weeks or so. Takes about 10 minutes to cook the Old Skool way.

Weight gain is normal, even when combined with vigerous exercise.

I'm not going to push diets on anyone. I'll say what I do. I eat a lot. Small portions, but all day long........8 times a day, it might just be an apple, but I'm always putting something in my mouth. I also drink lots of water. I go potty once an hour I drink so much. 12 ounces in, 12 ounces out. ;) Those two things combined keeps the metabolism going. I exercise more than most people, which obviously helps, but my sister didn't exercise and would eat and drink similar to how I did and it would keep her weight down.

Lasix is a drug that can have severe side effects for some, as you note. My Grandfather acted like he had dementia, was goofy, when taking much of a dose at all, yet had issues with his limbs retaining liquid.
Alternate drugs required they be administered via drip, by medical personnel and in his case, being in a nursing home, that worked out for him, but only when really pressed by his Son, who threatened legal action... seems the shift change would bring on a new Doc, who would diagnose Lasix, then the next shift, GrandDad would be acting goofy, sent to the ER for a few days, and it kept happening.
This was a while ago and I believe there are now 'self injected' alternates to Lasix that can be prescribed ,and you can be taught to self administer a few times daily... same effect, but no dizzy/goofy reaction.

I picked up a head cold from someone at work Friday morning. Friday afternoon my throat was a little scratchy, no other symptoms until Saturday when the thick mucous and "my face feels funny" nonsense started. I got on it right away with Zinc lozenges and Benadryl, so here this evening (Sunday) it's mostly under control. I'll have to back off on the Benadryl tomorrow so I can drive, but at least I don't have the free-flowing snot thing going on. :D
Nothing earth-shattering like the two recent hurricanes, but hey, it's MY nose that's trying to turn into a Greco-Roman fountain!

If I were a criminal defence attorney, I'd be the poorest one out there. First question I would ask the potential client is -- Did you do it? If they answer yes, I'd walk. Especially in cases such as yours.
I know that everybody deserves a good defence. However, that does not mean it would have to be me.

I owed this man's family a huge favor, and they got it.
It's one of the hardest parts of being a lawyer. Duty of zealous advocacy. Duty of client loyalty. I pick my cases usually, but this case picked me. Don't care to explain, but I did not feel free to turn down this one.

Arguing with ex over visitation schedule. She has a right to visitation on 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends; however, she does not want to permit our kid to participate in his school's extracurricular activities on "her" weekends. Refuses to drive him to band practice etc. Completely selfish and stressing the poor kid out. Probably headed back to court.

He also has jazz sectionals in the morning, at a non-disclosed time, and older brother wants a ride to work at 8:00 a.m. I need to join Uber and start charging for these rides.

Crazy story... I am sick and tired of arguments about NFL players taking a knee, so I decided to take a break from political stuff and visit a car club page that I frequent. These are mainly photos of beaters listed by balding middle aged dudes with beer guts, and a pleasant escape.
So anyway, this dude posts a photo that upsets the moderator, who proceeds to browbeat him in ALL CAPS SHOUTING THAT IS COMPLETELY DISPROPORTIONAL TO THE OFFENDING POST. So I tell the mod...
So now the mod turns on me. Apparently I am now suggesting thread chaos, dogs and cats living together, sex with your cousin, etc... And he invites other members to comment. So now I'm getting private messages and reply alerts... I'm accused of friendship with the OP (I have no idea who he is), we are in collaboration! And it's not even 9 a.m.!
Nobody needs this drama, so I unjoined the group. Ah ha! Now there is blood in the water, so I start getting all kinds of shit in my mailbox. So I had to block the group, the mod, and his lynch mob. But not before I noticed he posted a photo of the car he was buying for his wife, which is a violation of the forum's rules. Not a shit was given. Fuck!
I went out and worked in the yard all day. Nice solitary activity. Came back inside, and they've been sending me messages for hours. Who the fuck are these people?

And no one has commented on the fact that there was a likely terrorist attack in Edmonton, Alberta on Saturday evening (likely because while the putz had an ISIS flag in his car, motive has not yet been finalized. We're kinda funny that way up here in Canada. We actually have to have a more than circumstantial link before the authorities will lay a terror related charge.).
First, the guy drives by Commonwealth Stadium while a CFL game is being played and runs over a traffic control barricade and a police officer. Then, he jumps out of his car, rushes the police officer and stabs him a number of times. The whole time the cop is being attacked, he covers his weapon to make sure the bad guy doesn't get it. The guy then runs away, leaving his car (with the registration documents left in the car -- so now they know who this putz is) behind. The cop is taken to hospital, treated and sent home -- sore but otherwise physically OK.
4 hours later, at a Check-Stop (looking for drunk drivers), a U-Haul van is stopped. The police officer who is interviewing the driver recognizes the name on the driver's license as the same as what was left behind in the car at Commonwealth Stadium. When this cop calls for backup, the U-Haul van drives away. It heads towards Jasper Avenue (main street in downtown Edmonton). At high speeds, the driver tries to run down pedestrians, hitting 4, before the police execute a tactical maneuver to flip the van on its side and end the episode. They break the windshield (I guess the guy isn't getting his damage deposit back), toss in a stun grenade and then Taser the guy to disable him.
The bad guy is a 30 year old Somali refugee who came to Canada in 2012 after having been ordered deported to Somalia by a US judge. Apparently, his stay in an ICE facility in San Diego was going to be too long, so he was released and the disappeared from US authorities. He came to Canada, crossed legally into our country and claimed refugee status, which was granted. His application raised no red flags. In 2015, he was investigated for having expressed radical thoughts. However, thoughts are not illegal in Canada and he was let go. He was deemed to be no threat.
Now the good news. This guy, as I described, is a putz. The football game was well in progress when he arrived at the stadium. There were very few people outside the stadium. Had he waited until the end of the game, he could have done much more damage. AND, it was military appreciation night at the game. He could have made a huge political statement had he waited.
As for the U-Haul van attack on Jasper Avenue. Thankfully, it was kind of early (just after midnight). Again, had he waited until the bars closed, there would have been way more people on the streets. Or, he could have gone down to Whyte Avenue on the south side where there would have been more people (way more bars down there than downtown). Whyte Avenue may have been his ultimate destination had he not been stopped at the Check-Stop but I'll never know.
Thankfully, the human damage was only 5 people injured. And, there were no firearms used. I would hate to see how many more might have been injured had there been bullets flying around.
Anyways, that's what I woke up to on Sunday morning. I knew nothing of this until I got to work on Sunday because I was too busy getting laid.

This actually ruined my day on Monday, but I consumed a whole bottle of tequila last night, so did not get to post about it.
Payday at my office is on the 1st and 15th. If either of those falls on a weekend or holiday, we get paid at the *end* of the next business day. This means it is possible to be paid two or three days late, which isn't a problem, unless you owe rent or a car payment, as 99% of our employees do.
So 9 a.m. on the 16th, our dickwad boss sends out an email that his "accountant" is out of town, so our paychecks "may not" reflect what we earned, because he is going to have to estimate what we are owed. Vegas rules are *always* in the house's favor. Translation: he didn't make payroll, so he is going to steal enough from everyone to make up the difference. Bullshit alert: he doesn't have an "accountant." He does payroll with Quicken Books and hand writes every paycheck in the office.
The 16th also happened to be "Boss's Day" so naturally the staff made cupcakes, and hand circulated a card for signature. Around noon, an email went out to meet in the break room for cupcakes, so we could give dickwad his Boss's Day card.
What did he do? He told the office manager there would be no Boss's Day celebration, because it had not been scheduled on the firm calendar "as required by the employee handbook." He gathered his shit and promptly left the office for no reason. Translation: Having just fucked everyone in the ass, he didn't have the balls to take a greeting card in front of everyone, so he pulled out his cock and pissed on their cupcakes too.
Everyone left early. Fucker.

This reminds me of a time not too long ago when I sat down and consumed enough single malt scotch and weed to make myself really sick. By really sick, I mean I was throwing up, rolling on the ground barely able to walk and hung over for about 24 hours. It really put a cloud on a lovely shopping trip to LL Bean and my evening sojourn at the adult sauna, still able to find a partner for satisfaction though. Finally, it left me so tired even 24 hours later that I had to really work at driving the 45 minutes from the sauna to where I was staying at the time.
Yes, that was a bad day I created for myself. LOL

WOW. These type of things effect everybody differently, but that was uncalled for.
What ruined my morning......Driving to work today I didn't notice my gas gauge. About 10 miles from work, I look down and see I have 7 miles to empty. Southbound I-75 is shut down for a year south of Detroit and the route I take is in very bad neighborhoods. My stomach started turning over. I decided to chance it. I made it, but by the time I got to work, I was so worked up I had to run to the restroom. and I'll bet reading that just ruined your day I've already had two coworkers volunteer to go get me some gas at lunch.

She was 18 in the sex scene (she talks about it in a very funny/cute interview somewhere on the www) she was a little older in the picture ... Which, for all intents and purposes, is a very nice picture of a very beautiful young woman. No argument there. And I have zero scrupules thinking about actresses in a sexual way.

Ingredients: Assam Black Tea, Spices (Cinnamon, Ginger, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Chinese Star Anise, Cloves and Nutmeg), Roasted Chicory, Espresso, Natural Flavor and Vanilla Bean
Well, fuck me senseless! I've looked all over town this last week and there isn't a box of Celestial Teahouse 'Dirty Chai' tea bags to be had for any amount of money. Sprouts, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers... hell, even fuckin' TARGET and WALLY WORLD say "No love, no joy"...
(https://i.imgur.com/135LkhN.png)
Oh, I can get their pre-mixed Dirty Chai Latte (Liquid Concentrate) at a number of places, but I'll be fucked if I'm paying 5 to 6 times higher price for poorly-filtered tap water plus funny chemicals when all I want is tea bags...
No thanks, keep your overpriced pre-mix; there's too much weird shit in it that I can't have on this diet, so I just finished brewing my own batch (https://imgur.com/RYdFu8O) from scratch with fresh ground spices. I didn't hit the recipe perfectly the first time, but I got close enough that I'm happy. I guess I'll have to stop by the Patel Brothers store this next week and stock up on a shitload of spices for DIY Masala Chai from now on. For the 'latte' part I'm using the powdered coconut milk (https://www.amazon.com/Native-Forest-Coconut-Powder-Ounce/dp/B00QIVB19Y) that I found a few months ago. It works pretty well, it's half the price of canned or boxed milk, AND it doesn't go bad in a couple of weeks. It's also got less weird shit in it than the boxed coconut milks do.
(https://i.imgur.com/vSdIBvC.jpg)
Oh, by the way, CHAI means TEA in Hindi, so both of those boxes shown above are proudly proclaiming TEA TEA with the words "CHAI TEA" on the front. Someone needs to edumcate the folks at Celestial. Hell, hire an immigrant from India... there has to be ONE person that can help their advertising department. The correct term for what they're selling is "Chai Masala" which means "Spiced Tea" in Hindi.

Not one of several football games I watched all weekend came out the way I wanted.
While my boyfriend went golfing with his friends, on a 34 degree rainy day :roll: , my niece and I went to visit my brother in law. The Lions were losing 10 points to 0 and everybody was so upset that the staff considered turning the television off. Luckily they made a comeback.
A man I met there, who visits his dad every Sunday as we do, is a Michigan State fan and he was very down about the loss they took on Saturday. He's very excited about the Spartan basketball season now.

My crappy day starts at noon with a 2 hour drive, a potential 4 hour sales presentation, then a 2 hour drive back. I might not be home until 8:00pm :( Though, I have been promised a nice dinner will be waiting for me. The bf is playing Mr Mom from the time my niece gets picked up at school. :)

When you check out, it’s over for you, but the people who love you are left to pick up the pieces and try to make sense. I can’t make sense of it, because these are people who are extraordinarily well off. Top 5% in America, top 1% in the world. Why the fuck would you think killing yoursrlf is an option?

Money isn't everything. It can't give you true love. I find that is what a lot of us are needing... more love and less hate and negativity.

Sitting in the ICU with my friend. He posted about ending it, and over 200 people responded. It wasn’t for a lack of love. I think it is more from a uniquely negative perception of people, events, and your own self. I can’t climb in his head to experience his world view.
Most of the suicides I have known fall into three categories. 1. Mental heath issues: depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia. 2. Terminal illness, or 3. Scandal, bankruptcy, criminal prosecutions.
He’s going to have a psychiatric workup before discharge, so hopefully we can figure out what he needs going forward.

That sucks. Sometimes the attempt is a cry for help. My ex made 2 attempts about 28 or so years ago. One of them while in the hospital getting treatment for several mental health issues. And one at home on Mothers' Day with the kids in the house. All I could do was call 911 and hold her until she was taken to the hospital. I couldn't go with her because I had to stay with my 2 daughters who were 3 and 1 at the time.
Afterwards, all I could do was look after the kids and provide as much support as I could. 28 years later, she still has issues but to my knowledge hasn't attempted to kill herself since. I think that despite the emotional toll it took on her, the kids coming with me when we divorced helped by taking the pressures of parenthood away so that she could get "better".
Do what you can for your loved one. Be sure to take care of yourself first.

Mrs JBRG and I made the decision last night to take our oldest cat to the vet when she gets home after work today to have the old gal put down.
Max is almost 18 and has been with us since she was a kitten. Max came into our home the same day we had Mrs' cat down (her Pet Monster). Max has been the little sister to one cat (Homer was put down a month after we got Max) and the big sister to 2 other cats and 3 dogs.
Max has been giving us signs that it's time for a while. She has lost so much weight over the past couple of years that she is just skin and bones. She has gone deaf, has diminished eye sight, doesn't clean herself anymore and, when possible, doesn't go downstairs to use the litter box.
The next 8 hours or so are going to be hard for me but in the end, Max will be out of pain and in the spiritual company of Monster (whom she replaced in hour home), Homer (whom I took in because a friend was allergic), Fitz dog (a rescue dog who had medical issues that could not be controlled) and Red Dog (old age).

Every time he visits, he swears it will be his last, and he asks me to file a motion to modify (no overnight visits). Every Monday after (today), he says “It would be more trouble than it is worth, and I don’t want to put you through that.” This has been a recurring pattern for at least three years. The trouble now is that she lives with boyfriend and a new baby, and they don’t even have a bed for him to sleep on. They fight constantly, while he sleeps on the sofa, and waits in line for the bathroom.

I work as a security guard at a plastics manufacturing plant. We make the little white pellets that are used to make what ever final product you can think of. And, we make it out of highly volatile stuff - ethylene, propylene, vinyl acetate, etc. Our site isn't big and we are currently undergoing a maintenance shut down on one of the production units. So, I've got about 50 extra people on site. And because we are not a physically huge site, every body gets from place to place on foot. The speed limit for vehicles is 15 km/h (about 10 mph).
Anyways, two semi trailer trucks pull up to the gate to make a pick up. The first driver comes into my office and registers as he is supposed to. I inform him of the speed limit and give him directions to where he is going. After the first guy goes through the gate, I start to close it and the second guy just come screaming through. I manage to stop the gate from closing before it got ripped off its mount. Then, the second driver continues to follow the first guy at a speed between 30 and 50 km/h (I have to estimate because I don't have a radar gun).
I got the driver sent back to the security office where I tore him 4 new assholes. He was so focussed on following the first truck that he says he didn't see the stop sign nor the speed limit or no cell phones allowed signs. His claim was that it was his first day on the job and was nervous and eager to do a good job. The truth of the matter is that this was his first time at our site (I learned this from the shipper who loaded his truck). Our company has launched an investigation and have asked the driver's employer to inform us of what corrective/disciplinary actions they will be taking.
I take the safety of the guys who work on my site very seriously. I mentioned to somebody who saw the incident that I tore the guy 4 new assholes and he said he only saw one asshole -- about 5'6" tall.
I relate this story because of the Tuesday mention in the previous post. For me, the worst day of the week is never Monday like it is for so many people. No, IF a day of the week is going to go to shit, it will be Tuesday. And yesterday was Tuesday.

I have represented the victims of injury accidents, and their families, for over 30 years. I will tell you that NO ONE goes to work thinking "this will be the day I kill someone." Everyone has good intentions, but people get complacent, get hurried, get distracted, and then all it takes is a nanosecond for hell to come visit.
You did the right thing JBRG, and the truth is that safety is EVERYONE's responsibility. I can't tell you how many times an investigation undercovers prior suspicions or complaints about someone that resulted in NO ACTION being taken. And the end result is, tragically, a catastrophic injury or death. THEN everyone gets serious about remedial training and safety toolbox meetings. Why not before?

My neighbor of 18 years who had helped me so many times more than I ever helped him passed away the day after Thanksgiving. One of his sons came over and told me on Sunday after I had returned from being away.
I went to the funeral today. By my estimate, there were somewhere between 300 to 400 people there. I had never been to any funeral where so many people showed up. By the testimonies of those who spoke, he was a far more remarkable man than I had ever dreamed. In all those 18 years of living next to him, I suddenly realized I didn't know him at all, and I find that very sad and regrettable.
He and his wife had 7 children I watched grow up. I confess I had trouble keeping track of which kid was which and never really got their names straight. All of them spoke one after the other at the funeral. They made fun of the fact there are 7 of them, announcing things like 'I'm number 6.' Yesterday I nearly made the same sort of joke when I went next door to find out the funeral location. One son came out to speak to me. He told me his name and said, 'I'm the middle one.' I nearly replied, 'There are 7 of you. Most of you are middle ones.'
In a strange sad coincidence, I found out his birth year was the same as my wife's, so they both were born and passed away the same year.

I had left my parents at the main doors of a building yesterday and was walking to get my car from the parking garage. I had my phone and some of my moms bags in one hand and some papers in a folder in the other. Then I thought, "Where's my parking stub." I switched the papers to the other hand so I could search my pockets, and in the process of doing so I dropped my phone. It landed on the corner and the whole screen spiderwebbed. I was so mad I yelled the F word really loud and it just seemed to echo in the parking garage. When I pulled up to pay, the parking attendant just opened the gate and waved me through, I didn't even need to pay. So, I really didn't need the stupid ticket. UGH I'm so sad.

This is my social media, well here and two other sites. When I get asked about ‘friending’ me on FB, I smile and happily tell them I’m not on FB.
And what’s up with cauliflower rice these days? Cauliflower in general has become the latest food craze, and it’s almost as annoying as that purple potato craze a few years ago or the cupcake craze before that. At least I can like my kale and my quinoa again without being labeled as someone just eating it because it’s trendy (ate both long before anyone heard of quinoa).

I got sick of it 6 years ago and never went back. Part of the reason is as you described..."look at me, look at my wonderful kids, they're so wonderful, I'm so blessed." BS, your kid just was arrested on DUI at the age of 17 after putting his car up the rear end of a garbage truck when he was supposed to be in school. I was at a bad time in my life when I quit the facebook site and don't miss it. I log into my sisters account occasionally to peek around.

Yuck! I don't know how anyone can eat that stuff. The smell of steaming cauliflower makes me gag. Kale is bitter and nasty, even with lots of strongly acidic salad dressing. I have yet to find a way of making quinoa edible other than drowning it in butter, and that isn't exactly healthy.

I heard about the cauliflower hype in this thread... I don't get it. What's so bloody new about cauliflower? As a kid, my granny used to serve me that stuff atleast once a week when in season (and fuck cauliflower rice, mine was drowned in cheese sauce and served with bratwurst and mashed potatoes :emot_thdrool: ). I like quinoa just because it's something different to eat. Unfortunately, given the fact that it's such a hype food, it's also like 5 or 6 times more expensive than rice. And I don't like it that much. I didn't even know kale was a hype food. Where did that come from? To the best of my knowledge people here been eating kale since we learned about farming. Quite yummie though... cut up and mashed together with potatoes and served with a few thick slices of bacon or (the dutch way) smoked sausage. And of course a good tablespoon of dijon mustard on the side.

I only know about this trend from an article I read recently. I have not seen cauliflower presented in a restaurant in any way since, certainly not in an unusual way. I like cauliflower, and my main interest in the article was not what trendy things were being done with it, but that cauliflower was getting expensive.
I think I heard something about it being sliced thick and as some sort of burger substitute.
Damn, I love talking about food, but this seems like we're in the wrong thread for that.

Glad watching things getting blown up isn't just a guy thing. It's even more fun when it doesn't work.
We had a very old bridge across the Mississippi here that was deemed unsafe finally. Trucks banned and the city busses had to stop at each end, passengers get off and be shuttled to the other side in smaller vans.
When it came time to blow the bridge, after building half of the new bridge (2 lanes) the job was set for early AM, when still dark out. The changes went off and only a few pieces of the old iron fell. The bridge was still there! They interviewed the daughter of the bridge designer, who was in her 80s. She got a kick out of it and said her dad always built things to last. They ended up taking it apart piece by piece using cranes on barges. :emot_laughing:
A sad follow up was when they started to build the second half of the new bridge. They had the supporting arches up and were pouring cement when a loud crack was heard. All activity was stopped and the foreman and another worker went out to see what was wrong. The whole damn thing fell apart, killing the worker and injuring the foreman. They finally got it right the second attempt. :facepalm:

Glad watching things getting blown up isn't just a guy thing.
Fireworks, gun ranges, explosions. Something about loud bangs that I love. The finale of a fireworks when you can feel the booms actually pulse against your chest, love it.

My dad has said that the finale of a 4th of July fireworks display moves him. When he is too close and can smell the cordite, and feel the concussion waves he is much too close to remembering the real thing. That’s when he has tears in his eyes.

Got word last night that our little four legged friend, Ruby is gone. She was a Basset Hound my wife started taking care of when she was a pup of 9 months old. Wife would get her and take her down to the yard of another Basset puppy and they'd play, poop and pee. After a few months wife learned of the dog park and her car became and still is "The Basset Limo" The Bassets were taken to and from the park, Mon - Fri. After several years, wife broke both ankles one winter and the Basset duties were taken over by me. Also, each month she'd dress 'em up for whatever holiday it was that month and I'd take pictures. At the end of the year I'd make a calendar with the pictures and we'd give it to the owners. She got diabetes a couple years ago and we'd give her the shots when owners were gone. When on vacation, wife moved into their house to take care of Ruby.
Last summer they sold their house. They wanted to build a new home and ended up in a long stay hotel from Mid July to just last Thursday. Took Ruby to the dog park along with the other Basset that day and after she went to the other Bassets house for the day. We took her to the new home that night. She seemed just fine.
Sunday she got real sick and "Dad" took her to emergency vet clinic. After six hours of tests, he called the wife and they agreed her "time" had come. It was just last night she was able to call and tell me about it. No kids, so she was their child. With our close association for nearly 11 years, we thought of her as part of our family
Rest in peace Ruby.

My ex mother-in-law called frantic that a con artist had called her claiming to be a lawyer who needed her credit card number to post bail for my son, her grandson. He told her that he had been in an injury accident, and sent 3 people to the hospital. A few phone calls by me confirmed 1. there was no accident, 2. there was no arrest, and 3. my son was at work blissfully unaware of anything.
You know how old women are. Jeezus. Gave me a scare too. Be careful out there.
both of your posts in response to my post are horrible, insensitive, and extremely inappropriate, as well as in such bad taste as to be deserving being struck in the face.

The holiday party that wasn’t.
Set at 6 p.m. on a rainy Monday.
Thirty people. No alcoholic drinks served.
He bought 6 appetizers, the had them cut into tiny pieces. We were allowed a tiny paper plate to “help ourselves.” Didn’t even put out chips and salsa.
The meal consisted of 8 entrees dissected the same way. Everyone got three or four bites of something.
The event (I refuse to call it a party) was over by 8. We had margaritas on a credit card, so hey, I should know. We were the last to leave.
He did give all employees a small bag of pistachios. No Christmas bonus check. Even the asshole boss in the Vacation movie gave a jelly of the month club. LOL.

I think, Vinge, you might find it better to boycott it. One of the places where my sister worked, the staff party was only open to management (which she was), so she went "screw this!", and invited the floor staff to another "staff party".

No social host liability in Texas, unless you serve alcohol to an underaged person. If you cater your event, and use a TABC licensed server, practically zero risk. If the server gives so called “impairment training” to their workers, even the server can avoid liability.
Most places give drink tickets and limit consumption on the company dime to two or three drinks. But I can’t recall an office party that was dry. Maybe in Utah, but not in Texas.

Forgot to take my thyroid hormone at lunch. Forgot again at 2:30PM break. Forgot YET FUCKING AGAIN at 5PM when work was done. Spent 2 hours in traffic driving home in the rain 'cos the Mexicans don't have decent tires or brakes, and the AC in their car doesn't work so their windows were fogging up; they're all driving 35-40mph, so the REST of us drive 35-40mph. Got home at 7PM on the nose and said "Oh, fuck me!" about the thyroid hormone. Now I can't eat anything until around 9pm, and I should really wait until 11PM since I take both a calcium AND an iron supplement. Yeah, NOT waiting until 11PM to have supper!

WAY worse than forgetting my drugs: I'm killing bedbugs today, and took a break to look up some other relevant info on the little bastards since the info I found from a British researcher flat didn't work. He'd said that they die when their temperature exceeds 104F. The ones in Dallas sure didn't! I took my bedroom up to 110 and held it there for 12 hours, no joy. What I found from U Virginia, U Florida and OSU all said 111 to 113F, and 120F is faster. Well, the two space heaters I had would only get it to 110, so I bought another one. With three, surface temps in the room are 120 to 128, and I'm finding dead ones now (3 hours later). I found some good bedbug info-videos I was going to convert and upload for y'all, but my old version of Super video converter wouldn't play, and insisted that I upgrade it. I did so, and unchecked ALL of the 'optional' software it wanted to install. Still, something ELSE that it installed bolted in a rootkit, and it took my networking down. I'm typing this on my multimedia server 'cos my main box is fucking TOAST until I restore the backup from last year.
edit: Well, worse and better. I tried to restore from my backup, and it flat refused to write to the boot partition, even though the Ghost recovery file CAME from that partition, and all of the parameters still matched exactly. I thought I was fucked... my backup won't load... I'm gonna have to reinstall Win7 from scratch. On a whim, I booted Strelec PE on a thumbdrive, browsed to c:\Users\{my user name}\AppData\local\ (where I knew the rootkit was hiding) and deleted ALL of the directories that were created this afternoon. Then I rebooted, and voila! my network is up again. I still have problems: the network diagnostics abort with an unspecified error 'cos I ripped the rootkit out the hard way. However, networking is working, so I'm good for now.
BTW, if you need a handy boot USB to fix odd issues, I recommend Sergei Strelec. The Mega link at the bottom is probably your fastest download (if Mega works for you).

A little late in posting, since it was a few days ago, but what the hell.
I met a girl before Christmas, the first really since my wife passed away (at least the first that was not on-line). There was some talk of going out to dinner. We exchanged a few texts, mostly about her safe travel out of town for the holidays and Merry Christmas on the 25th. And then abruptly on the 27th she sent a message that said she decided she was absolutely not interested in bringing anyone into her life as a friend or otherwise.
I was in a bit of a funk after that. I hadn't realized how much I was looking forward to taking a woman out to dinner until the possibility vanished, hence the ruined day.
Yesterday I had a late lunch and decided to go to a strip club on the way home. 6 hours and $200 later I felt a whole lot better. Getting all that female attention did wonders for my mood. I know that attention had very little to do with me and everything to do with the pile of singles I had on the bar, but it didn't matter.
I stayed long enough to see the shift change and meet about 15 girls. I think I had been to a strip club exactly once during my 18 year marriage, and that was only because I had walked back my hotel after a concert, and it was the only place I found open where I could get a drink.
Several girls last night asked if I wanted a lap dance, the first phrasing it as, "Do you want to play with me?" I eventually did get a lap dance from a very pretty Asian girl. After I asked if she typically worked Saturdays, she actually offered me her number to text to see if she was working (how very enterprising). I turned down the offer for her number saying I'm sure I'll be back and see you again. I'm not sure when or if I really will go back, but yesterday was just what I needed. Did I just post this in the wrong thread?

Nope, the perfect place. You mentioned you disappointment at the beginning, which I'm sorry to hear about. Get back on that horse. It's tough starting a new relationship, especially around the holidays. If you liked her, give it another week or so for the holiday craziness to calm down and send her a text offering dinner again, but don't push it if she says no, just move on.

Noticing several ancient threads, like Gina’s “what celebrity would you like to fuck?” And my own “what I looked at the last time I masturbated” have been “unpinned.” I think times are changing (again). We have a lot of new member activity, which is good. Unfortunately, almost all of it in in the pedo subjects, which is creepy.

Thanks for caring Jules.
The brush off was pretty definitive and made me feel like any further texting (or a call) would not be welcome. I did reply I was disappointed and that if she changed her mind (again) to contact me. I'm finding it hard to figure out what was going on in her head and over-analyzing. She was a little quirky, which is a polite way of saying she possibly has minor mental issues. She was however very kind, so I didn't have those warning bells go off that you get when we guys or gals meet someone we suspect might be psycho.
We have a lot of new member activity, which is good. Unfortunately, almost all of it in in the pedo subjects, which is creepy.
Ugh.
Was a story on RU with an obvious pedo title. People were joining only to read that story, so Lois fixed it requiring 5 posts to view it. Then these people made throw away posts like: 1 2 3 4 5
I believe Lois went in and manually deleted all those nothing posts. The story has faded well back now and not easy to find, where I hope it stays.

Football.
The guys are all watching Michigan football, followed by the Rose bowl, followed by an Alabama game. It was requested I make some chili for today. It should be ready in a bit. We'll eat then I'm laying my head in Mark's lap for a nap while they watch their games. My brother-in-law, mom and daddy are here. Mom is leaving after eating. There is a good chance they're all staying the night because the games are running late and they're all putting away the beers a little too quickly.

Waking up alive. Discovering when I looked to the side display I am still a "new" pervert. My wife wants a divorce but not yet because first she has to loose weight, feel better about herself, get a job, informed me if I ever left her for another woman she shove it so far up my ass that my tonsils would hurt. But she is always telling me I am her best friend and she's only looking out for me. It would take pages to explain everything about our disfunction and how I look to the new day that waits with some fear, some happiness and some dread. My mother passed away one year ago and as a Christmas present my Dad told me I was not wanted in the first place and if my mother wasn't so drunk that night she would have gotten the birth control device installed properly and no little swimmers would have made it passed the blockade (he was former military) but that wasn't the worst of it, we were stationed down south and she couldn't get an abortion. I laughed at him and said well at least I'm not my brother....he's gotta go thru life with you wishing he was a girl, ha. I should really delete all this shit. I mean two broken Kurig's? SHit this is nothing compared to how the heavens have to align for two Kurig's to be broken at the almost the exact same time. What did you do for that Karma?? Well god bless my old man, he made me a mean SOB when I had to be a mean SOB to survive and bless my wife because she made me a lot better person when I needed to be a better person. Happy new year 8)

Waking up alive is always a good thing. People have all sorts of difficulty in life. Some days are better than others. It's how you handle it, and how you fight to overcome the obstacles put in your path, that defines you. You have the chance to make things better, you always do and always will. No matter how low things might seem, you can always fight to make it better. Never stop fighting. Never surrender.

The south Okanagan valley is looking pretty good. Milder temperatures and OMG, the wine.
...And after a week of decent weather the cold is back. It kind of sucks, but so would the summer temperatures nearing 40°C in the south Okanagan. You can always put on more clothes, but there is a limit to the amount you can take off.

I had to put a beloved pet down today. Felt like shit. The vet followed me out to the car and said, “I’ve been doing this 43 years now, and it never gets easier. You made the right decision, and have nothing to feel guilty about.” I thought it was a thoughtful gesture.
Did that about 6 weeks ago. Hopefully, it will be a long time before we need to do this again.
And, my youngest daughter had a cat pass away yesterday on their way to the vet.
This is why I didn't want pets. The kids will lose it if the dog or cat goes. :facepalm: Especially the 5's, she loves animals. :facepalm:

Broken tooth. Feels like someone is stabbing me with an ice pick. It is an old wisdom tooth, so the dentist says extraction is a better option than reconstruction. I’m popping amoxicillin and OxyContin in the meantime. Awake for the fourth night in a row.

You likely already know this, but please be extremely careful with oxycontin! As has been widely reported, it's extremely addictive.
Several years ago I had an extreme case of kidney stones and the urologist prescribed hydrocodone, a similar drug to oxycontin. It worked amazingly, the pain began to disappear only a few minutes after taking it, and it made me feel euphoric.
Then I passed the kidney stones (gratefully, without having to resort to a medical procedure), yet I desperately wanted to finish off the bottle of hydrocodone, recalling how wonderful I felt after taking it. Fortunately, I had enough sense to give the bottle with the remaining pills back to him once everything was back to normal. All this helped me to understand both the addictive power of these medications and, as a result, the reason why we're currently in the midst of an opioid crisis.

24-year-old woman dies after being struck by stray bullet in Buckeye
Why is there anywhere in the world that just shooting a gun in the air is okay. This is ridiculous. This is not okay. 'Asshole's' is right. She was a beautiful person who died needlessly. She was full of love and life and it was all taken away when she was out doing what she loved. Her poor loved ones.

From yesterday -- freezing rain resulting in slippery sidewalks. Did pretty good walking the dog in the afternoon until I got home. Then damn near did the splits walking into my own garage. No harm. Spread some salt. Waited for it to work then scraped down to the concrete. An hour or so later, the condo complex's contractor came around spreading gravel.

I was then informed the game is on Feb 4th. Wait, WHAT? I thought the Superbowl was this Sunday. I still have to listen to these non-athlete-never-played-football co-workers analyze the game for another week. OMG. MAKE IT STOP. You keep repeating the same blabber. Seriously, how much more can be said.
And now they're talking about the game outside my office just to irritate me.
I am looking forward to a party we are going to though. Friends of Mark. Many I haven't met before. He brought me home a gift last night. A Patriots jersey with Brady on the back to wear to the party. He knows I like Tom Brady.

Here in Minneapolis we're deluged with stories about the preparations for the big game in town. Glad we never go downtown anymore. Many streets already closed. Massive crowds expected (many drunk and obnoxious).
Fifteen years ago, wife and I did a couple hours work putting food in the private suites before the Vikings game. Then came the Super Bowl and we got to work through the game incase more food was ordered. It wasn't as crazy back then and was a lot of fun seeing all the celebs, TV crews with massive trailers packed with electronics outside and all the vendors hustling about.
It seems to get more out of control every year as each city tries to top the previous. Millions are being spent here to get the city ready, mostly from corporate sponsors, thank God, not too much in tax dollars. Will be staying close to home that weekend.

Arrived at work to discover a key employee quit after 15 years of service. No two week notice or anything. Guess who will be picking up the slack. :(
And first thing tomorrow I get to figure out how to generate W2's, W3's and a bunch of other tax stuff. I need to learn Quickbooks very quickly.
In fairness to our employee that quit, she's been going through a rough time. Her 18 year old daughter died about 5 years ago in a car accident. She kept at this job to help keep her busy. She's just tired of it now.....the getting up early, the yucky commute. She wants to spend time with her friends. Her husband has a good job and she doesn't need to work. I could have used a couple weeks training though. She told me to call her anytime.
Spent the day getting software on my computer and moving a bunch of stuff from her office to mine.
Right after lunch the bs started with everybody clamoring for her vacated office. And one of the asshat partners suggested knocking the wall down to make his office bigger. ugh

I heard from him today, and he’s a widower now like me. I don’t even know what to say to him.
It’s been 8 months since my wife passed, and I still get the nightmares with one as recently as last week. You’d think my nightmares would be about finding her like I did face down in the kitchen with her head cracked open, but no they come in two types:
Type one is she’s dying and I keep saving her just to have her dying again for different reasons over and over until I wake up and yell ‘Fuck!’
Type two nightmares are she really isn’t dead, and woke some place like the coroners. I just didn’t know for some period of time. I had this type last week, where I was in trouble at work because they thought I faked her death to get paid leave. It was so damned real, when I woke I looked at the picture of her tombstone on my phone as a sanity check. I still yell ‘Fuck’ with these nightmares, it’s just delayed.

Get well soon, RF. After lunch on Wednesday I got the chills. Then I was hot. In the car ride home my feet were freezing but my forehead and scalp were perspiring. I was sure I had something. I was so upset 3 hours later I was normal. Thank goodness. I know a number of people that have contracted the flu and it seems to be a real butt kicker.

I rarely weight myself. Last time was Jan 2nd to discover I didn't gain anything from mid November to after new years. Yay, right?
Well, I stepped on the scale after getting home from work and discovered I am up 7 pounds. WTFitty F'in F

Is it possible it is just excess water weight - part of PMS? I used to gain 5-6 pounds before my period every month.

Unfortunately not. I've been hibernating from exercising. I will not run in the cold, and I hated the treadmill.
I've got an empty house tonight so I just put in 40 minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes of dumbells, kettleballs, pushups and lunges. When I wake up Wednesday morning, every muscle in my body will be screaming at me.
My next homegym purchase is a heavy bag.

There's been talk the last couple weeks, but today it's official. Tomorrow will be my last day at the dog park with my buddy Gus, the Basset Hound. He's somewhere around 12 years old and last couple of years has had an inflamed disk that affects his back legs. They've had him on anti-inflammatories and he's ok, tho' occasionally a bit wobbly.
He loves the dog park. He greets all the other dogs and people, walking up with his head held high and tail up in the air wagging like crazy. He's one of the most popular dogs at the dog park and it's the highlight of his day. He loves to run and chase after other dogs, even with his back problems. At home, "Mom" says his back legs go out from under him, and she admits her hardwood and tile floors are slippery.
I've offered to keep him on a leash at the dog park, so he won't run. He'd still see his human and canine friends and continue to make new friends. But alas, NO. I have to wonder if there's money problems as there was a divorce several month ago, so only one income plus support pmts.
I'm sure when her work gets in the way I'll be called upon to come walk him from time to time.
Yeah...I'm going to miss the dog park too. So much fun watching the dogs at play and visiting with the other people. :( (https://i.imgur.com/CGLVzgV.jpg)

Thanks Jules. Our pack (three ppl. and 4 dogs) were all up set. Also, I have a bit box of Milk Bones in the trunk of the Basset Limo. So, after the walk, all four dogs race to the back of the car, wait for me to pop the trunk and get a dog park treat.

I’m confused. You have a dog(s) of your own, correct? So you are losing Gus (for now), but not the dog park entirely, or is Gus your only reason to be at the park?
We recently lost our JRT, and were devastated. Although it felt too soon, we acquired a pug puppy from friends. Turned out to be a good decision.

We have cats, no dogs. The two Bassets wife, then I took to the dog park were from two different neighbors. Ruby and her people moved out of the area mid July and sadly she died the first of December, three days after moving into the new home they just built.
There was a third Basset, when wife first started but her ppl started having kids. Dad became a stay at home dad and they didn't need a dog walker anymore, so we picked up Gus. I took over when wife broke both ankles on an icy day at the dog park. Nearly 12 years of Basset love'n.

Not my business, but how about a Basset of your own?
I was eating my bagel this morning when the little pug showed up and started licking the cream cheese off my plate. I cried a little, because I always called our JRT my "bagel hound," because she loved a bite of bagel.
Which is to state the obvious. You can't replace a beloved pet; however, the fact that you have been able to share love with a dog and bond in the past, is a pretty good indicator that you'll be able to do so again in the future.

Hoping I didnt get anybody sick at the nursing home yesterday. The itchy throat was on my mind walking in, but I still didn't think it was anything. So I was extra careful about being too close or touching anything. I'm confident I didn't pass it on.

Yep, definitely sick. Mark took the girls to a movie. No school for them tomorrow or Tuesday. Who wants to come take care of me. please Mark make me chicken broth soup and some thick noodles.. Actually it's not too bad, just a sore throat and light headache. Not too bad. I have my blanket, a recliner chair and watching USA vs Norway in curling. I'm trying to understand it.

Dogs broke into my back yard on Thursday and slaughtered most of my hens. They also killed Little Mama, one of my cats.
They returned on Friday, broke through my repairs to the fence and killed another of my chickens. Then Saturday morning they came again and now I can't find my last chicken.
I spent the day drafting a demand for compensation letter and mailed it to the dogs' owner.

Very sorry Lois, I’ve lost both hens and a cat once too to loose dogs. Although most times I’ve lost hens was due to unknown predators that could have been dog/dogs.
Make it clear you don’t want just compensation, like Merv said dogs not under control in a pack are a serious danger.

I called Animal control and they said they could not do anything because I did not witness the attack. But the neighbor has video of them on the loose and going across the street to my house, and the other neighbor saw them leaving my yard with feathers in their mouths. But still not good enough because the attacks were not witnessed.
So a demand letter is the best I can do. If I make it too expensive for him to keep the dogs maybe he'll get rid of them.

Bedbugs are back in bed with me... I had 2 blissful months without the little bastards. I'll have to 'cook' my bedroom again this weekend. Luckily I'd already moved just about everything out of there, so I won't have to run it so hot nor for as long as I did during Christmas. I ran it at 150F for 13 hours then to make sure I killed everything in the boxes under the bed. No boxes this time, so a couple of hours at 125F ought to do it.
Dunno exactly how they got past the isolators; maybe I slipped up and brought one or more to bed with me. That, or I'd let the blanket overhang the bed and they crawled up it. I haven't seen any since I cooked my bedroom, but I *know* they're still here. :'(
The isolators are shallow cups with mineral oil in them. I see dead bugs in the oil, and I'm pretty sure they can't swim over it from what I'd read. I also added a drop of bedbug-specific insecticide to each isolator's mineral oil, Just In Case that might help.

Yes, Europe, Belgium, Flanders, Antwerp just to be complete ;) But European is totally fine with me. I consider myself an EU citizen. It's not that uncommon. Just that we had some uncommonly warm winters the last couple of years, this one being one of them. So I kinda assumed winter was over. :facepalm: As an aside... don't be fooled by the short distances. Budapest may only be some 1000km from Brussels, but the regions opposite the British Channel (North-Western France, Belgium and South-West Holland have a totally different climate (ie milder winters *and* milder summers) than the continental climate of mid- and eastern Europe. Like for instance Budapest, Hungary. March snowstorms would be a lot more likely in Budapest than in Brussels or Antwerp. Guess the weather Gods just took your travels personal ;)

Given we’re talking about snow in Europe and ruined days, it reminded me of something sad that happened when I was in my wife’s home town of Katowice Poland over a decade ago.
It was icy from past snow and fresh snow was falling. I was walking the icy streets and noticed a young girl walking partly because, well she was a young girl, and partly because I couldn’t believe she had heels on. Sure enough and terribly unfortunate, she fell very hard right before my eyes.
I ran over and bent down to the still girl touching and and speaking to her. She seemed to be out, but then abruptly came to and began crying and was speaking Polish. I kept talking to her and she switched to broken English. Two women came over and one called emergency services with her cell.
The girl’s hands and arms were moving, but her legs bent in awkward positions were not. We all knew enough not to try and move her, especially since if she could move her legs herself she probably would have. She also was pointing at her face and speaking; her face was on the curb, and I think her jaw was broken.
She kept lifting her face off the icy curb, and I knew it must hurt, and she was obviously getting cold. I was still afraid to move her, but then one of the times she lifted her head, I took my fake leather and fake fur hat off and pushed it under her face. She just rested on it then as we waited. A crowd gathered but it was the two women and myself that were talking to her. It was snowing hard, so I had my head and body over her shielding her from the snow fall. I held her hand the entire time as we waited.
Eventually an ambulance came and I helped as we got her on a stretcher moving her as little as possible. Just before they took her, she grasped my hat and pushed it in my direction returning it. It was very touching she wanted to give it back, thinking of me at that time, as I would have gladly let her keep it.
I think of her once in a while wondering how much she recovered. It was awful seeing her legs bent the way they were. I still have the hat; it still has a few tiny flecks staining it of her blood. I never even saw her face, nor she mine.

It’s Europe, borders shifted throughout history, possibly none more so than Poland. During the partitions, Prussia, Austria and Russia took territory on three occasions until there was no Poland left. Poland was restored after WWI.
Yeah heels in the ice and snow caught my attention just before she fell. Maybe a work requirement, but put them on when you get there. I just hope she recovered.

Plumbing. I *hate* plumbing.
Yesterday I noticed water around the base of my downstairs toilet. OK, the building is 42 years old, and that's undoubtedly the original wax ring sealing the toilet to the sewer. I had one of the neighbors help do the upstairs toilet last year just after I broke my wrist. I shut the water off with the gate valve. Oops. That's also 42 years old, and now it's leaking furiously. I managed to crank it down to 1 drop every second or two, put a large pan underneath and went to Home Depot to buy a wax ring, a replacement shut-off valve, and a replacement hose to connect from the new shut-off valve to the toilet tank. Might as well get everything, even though the old hose looked OK.
I emptied the pan just before going to bed. When I woke this morning, I had around a gallon or two of water on the bathroom floor where it'd overflowed the pan during the night. I dry it all up, and start in on the destruction. It took nearly an hour to cut the old bolts off as they were corroded. Then I could remove the toilet. Yep, looked like 40 year old wax to me! I cleaned that shit up, and managed to pry the bits of the two bolts out of the flange on the floor.
I started in on the leaking gate valve, and got it unsoldered from the copper pipe sticking out of the wall. The new replacement valve is a 1/4 turn ball-check valve that I've used before, so it ought to last for a decade or two. Hmmm. Can't get all of the silver solder off of the pipe, so I'll have to cut off about 1/2 inch to get to smooth copper that the compression fitting on the new valve will clear. Of course, my copper tubing cutter decides to take a shit, and it took a good 30 minutes to cut the tube (should have been a minute). I guess I need a new blade for my tubing cutter. New valve is now in place, so I pressure-test and it's all OK. I manage to tip the toilet over after soaking out all the water in tank and bowl, and clean off the bottom where the new ring goes. Still all OK. Getting the toilet guided over the two bolts was a FUCKING NIGHTMARE with 1 and 1/2 hands (can't put any force on my left hand) but I got it settled smoothly, and gently forced it down to get the wax to squish out and seal to the flange / bottom of the bowl.
Not counting the trip to Home Depot last night, I was done with a 30 minute job, 4 hours later. Did I mention that I HATE FUCKING PLUMBING? I have all of the right tools and some good practical experience over the years, but it's still a damned annoyance.

Decided I've recovered enough from last months illness to start running again. Mark and I planned on our normal 4 mile loop. 200 yards from home and I knew I wasn't going to make it. Struggled for a mile and turned around and walked back home. All respiratory, I couldn't catch my breath. I thought I was recovered enough. Not. Even. Close. :'(

A very good friend has gone silent on me for 6 days now. She and I typically exchange some text or something daily. The only other times this has happened in the 5 years we’ve known each other either she or her husband was in the hospital with something serious. I have her husband’s number and tried it. It had been months since I used that number, and it’s now disconnected. I’m beyond worried, have even begun checking obituaries.
Still no word. If it weren’t for this I’d actually be happy given current other circumstances, but instead I feel like I’ve been gut punched over and over.

If you're still reading this, try eating a salty snack as well - a packet of "chips", a handful of roast & salted peanuts.
In these days of "low salt" diets, it turns out some people have too little salt, and that can cause an imbalance in electrolytes that, in turn, causes a headache.
A biochemist friend tried an experiment on other friends with headaches - she drew a line of salt along the back of their hands and made them lick the salt up. Most were so short of salt they couldn't taste the salt on their hands until the line was nearly gone (along with their headaches).

I was actually feeling a little hungry when I got in the car, so I got in my trunk where I keep emergency supplies. I had some trail mix packets. I ate one along with water. I don't know when, but my headache is gone right now. Maybe the salt took care of it. Interesting. Will check this out next time I get a headache.

Terrible news. Hope you are not hurt, and that there is insurance.
The trouble with losing a car is that, even if there is insurance, you must deal with appraisals, and haggling, rentals, and finding and financing another vehicle. The insurance company may say your 1980 Malibu is only Worth $800, but if it’s a dependable daily driver, it’s irreplaceable at three or for times that amount.
Which is a long way of saying, I feel for you.

Just glad you're ok.
BTW, we're getting rid of the "Basset Limo", only 83,000 miles. Past several years only used to go back and forth from the dog park. In great shape...as long as you don't mind the doggy smell and fur that's now woven into the upholstery. :emot_laughing:

You want sticker shock...?? At the garage (okay its a restoration place) they have a 1973 Jeep CJ for sale. Completely mint for that year (it's also a soft top).....asking price .....?? $15,000 non-negotiable. I just bought a Chevy 1500HD from a used car dealer (because as he said) "he just wanted to get rid of it"......"his get rid of it price was $4,000 dollars" and it's a 2001 truck with only 79.000 miles on it.

My beard has been grey (or white really) for nearly a decade, now hardly a dark hair at all present. Yet for some reason I’m largely brown way downstairs. I never really had much chest hair, but that’s also mostly white.
The weird thing I noticed many years ago is the white hairs grow twice as fast as the dark ones? When I was young, I could barely grow a beard. Now I can trim my beard short and blink and become Santa again.

Gray or white hair is generally longer and thicker than black hair: Just think about that one long white eyebrow hair of yours that sticks out annoyingly past all the others and keeps growing back, hydra-like, when you pluck it out.

I’m not one to pluck, but there are a few thick annoying white hairs in my eyebrows that drive me nuts. I’m constantly carefully using scissors to cut them as close as possible, but they’re back in a matter of days. I’m usually not fussy about my appearance, but like I said these hairs drive me crazy when I see them.

Discovering that many 55+ communities that the missus and I were interested in are really fucking stupid. The one that we can afford to buy in without having a mortgage insist that all parties living there be 55 or older. The missus turns 54 in a few days which means if we were wanting to buy in these communities, we would have to wait a year. And the pet restrictions! Don't get me started.
Our townhouse is for sale right now. If we sell, it is looking like we will need to live like hoboes for a bit - buy a travel trailer and live in an RV park for a bit.
On the bright side (?), if we don’t sell, we are no worse off. Still have a home and jobs. Just not where we really want to be living right now.

Apparently fuel is hell on asphalt, so they are closing one lane of the interstate for FIVE DAYS to patch this spot. This stretch of road was already narrowed to only two lanes for construction, so we have ONE LANE open for five days. My 30 minute commute has turned into an hour and a half long ordeal. Ugh.

A very good friend has gone silent on me for 6 days now. She and I typically exchange some text or something daily. The only other times this has happened in the 5 years we’ve known each other either she or her husband was in the hospital with something serious. I have her husband’s number and tried it. It had been months since I used that number, and it’s now disconnected. I’m beyond worried, have even begun checking obituaries.
Still no word. If it weren’t for this I’d actually be happy given current other circumstances, but instead I feel like I’ve been gut punched over and over.
After silence for 3 months, she texted me yesterday from a new number and we’ve been texting more today. She had to find an old bill to get my number. Why was she absent? It was really bad just as I feared, but things are slowly improving.

My morning, started out scary but ended on an okay note.
Mark woke me up at about 4 am, he said he had a strange feeling in his chest. It was painful and it would go away and then it would return.
I was about to call 911 and he suggested we just drive there. He was still feeling some pain but not bad.
I went to his daughter's room and woke her to tell her we were going to the hospital. She came out and talked to her dad a bit and then we were off. She was going to take my niece to school for us.
Upon walking into the ER, they popped an aspirin in his mouth and hooked him up to an EKG(?) Everything looked okay. They ran a gazillion tests including a chest xray. All is fine. The doctor said it appears to just be a chest cavity muscle tear or strain. They asked if he had been doing anything strenuous lately. We're always running and a few weeks ago we planted a ton of flowers and moved 6 yards of mulch. I was thinking to myself we had sex on Sunday evening but I wasn't going to share that. And wouldn't you know it, Mark says, "We did have some strenuous sex on Sunday." No, he couldn't just say we had sex. He tells the doctor we had "we had some strenuous sex." "When you say strenuous....?" I interrupt, "Passionate might be a better word for it." "Heart rates up." "Oh yeah," Mark says. "Compared to your running, higher or lower?" "Higher." "Did you ejaculate?" "Yes" "How many times," the doctor asked in his monotone doctor voice. Mark answers, "Me? Oh, once." Then Mark looks at me. NO HE DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I O'd,, I wanted to scream at him. "Afterwards, how did you feel." "Great, after that we walked into the house and took a shower." WTH, why did you say 'Afterwards we walked in the house' when "Great" would have been sufficient. Luckily no follow up from the doctor on that one.
A few more questions, a prescription, and we were on our way. I'm very relieved to say he only has a chest cavity muscle tear (or muscle strain). All seems fine. He is going to his primary doctor on Monday.

Glad he’s alright Jules, and don’t be too hard on him with the TMI to the doctor. In that circumstance, I probably would have been really bad and gone into even more details and gross exaggerations just to watch you squirm in embarrassment.

To clarify. We were in the garage. We went on our run. We cut through a park. It was muddy from the rain on Saturday. We hit a squishy area of the park and ended up with muddy shoes and socks and mud splatter up our legs a bit. So when we got back to the house and opened the garage (and shut the garage door behind us), we both took off our shoes, then our socks. Mark took off his shirt. Then urged me to do the same.... then yada yada yada..... and then we went in to take a shower.
So, no. No public or even outdoor sex, which his comment to the doctor seemed to suggest.

A bunch of drama in my social life. It seems a post on FetLife targeting my partner went viral. The post was made by a self-righteous prick after he had accepted an apology from my partner, then 6 weeks later he barfed it all up again. He's also brought me into it by calling me an "enabler" and a "victim blamer".
After my partner's apology to him, he began to press to meet for coffee so he could tell my partner just how wrong he is and harangue him further. But my partner considered the matter concluded and refused to answer him.
Anyway it's a long story, if you want further details please PM me.

Had a first of a lifetime experience yesterday. Wife and I were out and decided to drop by a favorite pizza place for lunch before going home. Had a great pie with enough left to take home for our evening meal (Yea, no cooking)
As we got up to leave, one of the waiters offered to let us use the backdoor, leading to the parking lot. Wife doesn't get around very good and saving a few steps is alway welcome. I reached in my pocket for the car keys on the way out. Nothing, empty, not there!!! :o
I went back to our table to see if they'd fallen out. Nope. For some reason, my wife had her set of keys. As she can't drive anymore, rarely takes them.
She popped the locks and there were my keys, in the ignition. Not only that...I'd left the car running while we were inside. I know there's a beeper that goes off when you get out of the car and leave the keys, however I guess it doesn't work if the car's running.
Felt/feel like a total old fool. I can count on the finger of one hand how many times I've locked keys in the car. Something I've always been very careful about. Really makes me start to question my competence.
I guess it's true what they say about aging...memory is the second thing to go!
Nope...I don't remember what the first thing is. :facepalm:

I drive Mark's car on occasion. Keyless ignition, so the keys are in my purse. Before leaving the car I do a makeup check in the mirror. 3 times so far I've gotten out of the car, shut the door and went in to a business. A few other times I think "Is the car running" as I walk by it. I haven't told Mark I've done it yet. These keyless-entries and keyless-ignition vehicles are going to get me in trouble.

Turning the car “off” before you exit should not be a problem. The real problem is leaving the keys in the car, and having it lock the doors for you. That has happened to me, and it it a huge hassle.

Last time I locked my keys in the car was 30 years ago. We (myself, wife #1 and oldest child) were at a mall. We went inside and did our shopping. Came out and saw the keys on the dashboard with the doors locked (a 77 Chev Nova with manual locks). Wife and child went back into mall. I took the bus home, broke into my house, got the spare keys and went back to the mall.
I liked my 2012 Fiesta with the push button start. It wouldn’t let you lock the doors if the fob was in the car.
Now, I don’t lock the doors of the vehicle unless I have the keys in my hand.

The temperature is 33C, and both our fans have died from high usage.
We bought the only fan available for under £300 within 100 miles in any direction, and it was missing important parts. We got a refund, but no fan.

I’m very familiar with C being a scientist and that being what we use in the lab. However, I still think in F for weather. My quick mental conversion without googling is 25C is a comfortable room temperature and 37C is body temperature (or near 100F), so I can guesstimate 33C from that as uncomfortably warm.

33C (91F) is a nice Spring day in Phoenix. I was in Phoenix the year it hit 128F (41C) and my air conditioner died that day... it'd been running non-stop for a few days at that point. I had to move into a motel until they got the compressor replaced. NO WAY could I sleep at those temperatures. For 10 days there the LOW temperature at night never fell below 100F / 38C, and it just went UP from there during the day. UGLY!!! I don't recommend the experience.
We had emergency plans in case the power or air conditioner died at my parent's house, since they were both in their late 60s and couldn't tolerate those temperatures for long.
It's hitting 100F in Dallas, and people are crabbing about the heat. Jeez... I've seen MUCH worse!

Well Jules, nothing as bad as a broken Kuerig pump. My wife informed me she would like a divorce as we are no longer "compatible" whatever the fuck that means to a cave man like me and she doesn't "love" me in that way anymore. We both deserve happiness and she's not finding it with me anymore. She told me tonight she started filling out the divorce paperwork so we can "get on with our lives" as soon as possible. Wow, hit me in the face with a fucking stick. I don't even have the energy to masturbate anymore. Sigh.

HD,
I am so sorry to read this post this morning. Especially when it catches you off guard like that. A breakup is a difficult thing, both for you, but also her. Hopefully she will consider counseling before taking this to lawyers.
The two of you need to sit down and come up with a plan (counseling, a short time away from each other, etc.)
What you're feeling now won't always be like this. Hitting you in the face with a stick is an understatement. I can't imagine how you must feel. Always know that no matter how bad you feel now or and in the weeks/months to come, there will be a time down the road where your emotions will get back in check and you may think it was for the best, even though you might be upset with it all, and all she put the both of you through,
In the meantime, might I suggest as a plan for tonight.....a quart of your fave ice cream, a row (or two) of Oreo cookies (glass of milk to dunk in optional), your couch, a blanket, your pillow, and favorite movie. I've done it too many times to count and it has helped a bit.

The ruined my day part. I got into bed at 11. I couldn't sleep and the last time I looked at the clock it was about 4 am. My mind kept recalling some of the things I had read and that caused me to think of other memories. The alarm went off at 5am. This is going to be a long day.

We took Mark's daughter back to university today. She had too much to take back in her car, so we took Mark's SUV packed to the gills. Mark rode with her, while my niece and I drove in the other car. After unpacking we went out to dinner. We left for home from the restaurant and just got back an hour ago.
I'll admit to shedding a tear when we got in the car to come home. I'm going to miss her so much. We had a great summer. It was my best summer ever, and it was partly due to her living with us the past 3 months.

CJ has been getting constant calls on her smartphone about her student loan refund.
This is an overseas Indian call center scam. Verizon does absolutely fucking nothing about it. The number changes with every call.
They called when I was changing a diaper. They called when I was at the park with the fam. They just now called while I'm trying to relax before the insanity that is dinner time.
Normally I would have fun wasting their time. But this is out of control. If it's not them, it's a car insurance scam. I also got a call about my computer's license or some shit.

Went to the store to pick up a couple cases of bottled water and a few other things. The poor girl at the register was overwhelmed and doing her best to move the line along when this impatient bitch yelled at her to hurry up, she had THINGS TO DO. The girl called for help, no one came. She kept working fast as she could when this rude fucking bitch dropped everything she had on the floor and stomped out calling her cuss words. Now, obviously I cuss a lot, but I never do in front of my kids. I had my 2 year old with me and I had to cover her ears. I took it upon myself to call her a fuckin' rude bitch. So I couldn't push my cart because of the stuff she dropped, so I picked it up and set it aside for the girl. I offered to help her bag stuff to help get the line moved because I actually know the manager and she wouldn't mind if I helped, but she politely declined and told me to have a great day with that beautiful baby girl.
Everyone in the line told her not to let that bitch get her down, so that made a shit start to the day a little better seeing strangers stand up for her.
Then when I got to the car I got another scam call about my student loan from another different number. :emot_banghead:

The Kroger I go to has kids that have learning disabilities bag the grocery's. There is this one boy who tries his hardest but he just cant get it. The lady in front of me started yelling at him for putting the bread on top of some canned stuff (at least it wasn't the other way around). I've had him do much worse with some of my stuff but I don't really care. She was just so mean.

I feel you, both of you. As an amateur dumpster diver (And professional sex-worker) Labor Day is an opportunity that's too good to pass up, because all of the bins are out at the curb, and yet the pickup is retarded by the Holiday. In Waco Tx.
So, I got some great finds, and discovered some smells I'd probably better go my whole life without experiencing, but I guess it's good inspiration for the Dirty Little Girl story I'm working on.
(Survivor, with layered meanings to the word "Dirty" and a sliding scale from slightly awkward to Mung.)

They didn't pick up garbage today. They got the recycling, not the garbage. It's 104 degrees and the entire neighborhoods garbage carts are in blazing sunshine with wind sweeping the smells all over the place. It literally smells like hot garbage.
:facepalm:
My garbage is delayed a day because of Labor Day. But everybody had it out last night thinking it was picking up today, when it is tomorrow. Walking up and down the street last night was awful. 94 degrees when I went on my run. I bet it will be much worse this evening.
:roll: There's no mention in local news about it. But I'm guessing that's why. :facepalm:
It's supposed to rain tonight so that'll be wonderful waking up to the Humidity and baked garbage. :roll:

It's only in the 60's today! But thanks to a fucking hurricane nowhere near the Midwest it's done nothing but rain all day. No wind except a nice cool breeze. Would have have been great to take wifey #2 and the babies and dog to the park today. It's been so hot and miserable... but no. Rain. Gotta fucking rain all day.
Thanks, Florence. You bitch. :roll:
The only good thing is we desperately needed the rain because the heat and sun have scorched the Earth.

Well, not exactly ruined my day, but football season is back. Luckily we have a drizzly rainy day in Michigan so it's not like a day wasted inside the house. It is nice having Joe and my mom and dad over for the day, but I'm 5 hours in and the arm chair quarterbacks keep getting louder. And now they're talking about watching the Lion's Monday night game here.

No, this didn't ruin my day, but my system got a major shock.
Going into the grocery store this afternoon I was admiring a classic 60s era Buick, perfectly restored, flawless paint job...a real beauty. As the windows were open, I was going to say something to the driver about his beauty, when...WHAM!!!! A runaway grocery cart slammed into the side of this beauty. I actually screamed, "aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh", as the sound of the bang. He got out and as I watched said everything was OK. Also remarked, "Good thing it's real steel."
I let out a sigh of relief and told him I loved his car. With a wave, he went on his way.
Me, I took the cart and went in the store and did my shopping.

Mark and I were on our run this morning. A lady was walking her two golden retriever puppies. I wanted to stop. Mark asked if we could hold the puppies and we were told we could. They were so cute. So cuddly. Licking my face. Tail wagging. So happy to be held by a stranger. I could have stayed there all day playing with them.
I've always wanted a dog. Because I'm allergic to pet dander I can't have one. Mark had one when we were dating, but he was a beast and shed like crazy. Just the kids coming over would set off my sneezing attack. The dog lives with his youngest and the ex now. I want a puppy that I can raise as my own and be my dog.

There is a breed of dog that does not shed and is ideal for people, such as yourself, that are allergic to pet dander. Cute dogs, about medium height and very friendly.

Never mind I just put in a 60 hour week, was tired as fuck, and just needed a little “me” time.

I'm exactly one week away from surgery, and I think I'm coming down with strep throat.
That'll put the kibosh on the surgery that I've been waiting months for.
Right now I'm drinking spiced hot tea with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of honey. It's worked before.

Nope. Not happening. CJ won't allow it. I don't fuckin' care if they are technically adults and I have no say. I have a say as long as they're financially dependent on me and live in a house I own half of. :roll:

It's even worse than that. A planet's rotation period is not the same as the length of its day. The difference is small for rapidly rotating planets like Earth (our planet's rotation period is 23h 56min), but because Mercury's rotation period is 2/3 of its year, a day on Mercury is actually 2 Mercury years (4224 hours) long.

I got up early Monday feeling refreshed. Got dressed up. Hair and makeup looked fantastic. I felt great about myself. I didn't see one person other than my work people, no customers came in to visit. I really saw no one on a day I thought I looked and felt great. It was a long boring day.
Yesterday......I woke up late. Put my hair in a pony tail. Rushed out the door with minimal makeup. Put on the jeans I wore on Sunday, long sleeved cotton shirt and tennis shoes. I call it my 'death warmed over look'. And........We had 10 clients visit the office. On the way home I got gas and bumped into 2 people I knew. At Kroger I saw 3 people I knew.

Architects who cut corners by leaving the stairs as unfinished concrete and then hide them behind nondescript doors (sometimes even double doors) share some of the blame for that sort of nonsense. So do the building managers who lock all of the exits from the stairwell except the street exit.

Yes it's rude, but I also realize the type of message board I'm participating on, so I don't get upset or offended. If it happened in real life with someone asking, of course.
The younger generation doesn't seem to have a problem with it. My niece worked at a Little Caesars pizza when she was 18, she worked the cash register. Over a 3 month period she had many creepy experiences, but 3 that stood out. One flat out asked her if she had a nude of her that she would text to him. Another asked for her Facebook page so he could jack off to her pictures. And an older man said he'd give her $20 if she would text him a picture of her in her underwear. When she said no. He said, "how about in a bikini." She said none of them were cool, but she wasn't overly concerned or upset about it.

Just last week a 20 year old asked me to cam with her. Apparently I was to direct her masturbation and use of toys while she performed for me.
Well by then I not only had a serious girlfriend, I had bought the ring. So I sort of gave a non-committed vague response knowing I wasn’t going to follow up on that request.

Had a small fire in my laser cutter today, right at the end of a job that took over an hour to cut.
The laser is OK, but putting the fire out involved throwing part of the machine out the back door, and I ended up dropping a two kilo lump of aluminium on my bare foot, corner first.
I will now have to spend tomorrow cleaning soot out of the optics and running gear, and avoiding my wife taking me to A&E for an X-ray.
Then I have to re-do the cutting job...

I think we’re edging back on topic.
The gf’s ring is too loose on her finger. So what has ruined my day is dealing with the irrational response that it being sent out for 2 weeks for resizing, as they told me is required, is unacceptable. I have been getting all sorts of nonsensical suggestions on alternatives. I have orders to bring receipts and the wedding band with me tomorrow to take it to another jewelry store (at least after my insistence the same chain). She does not want that rock to leave her finger any longer than possible, and is making me miserable on the topic despite the fuck up on sizing having nothing to do with me. She should have said during the sizing, ‘That feels loose.’

She does not want that rock to leave her finger any longer than possible, and is making me miserable on the topic despite the fuck up on sizing having nothing to do with me. She should have said during the sizing, ‘That feels loose.’

She’s temporarily under the impression she’s the boss. I have handcuffs and a ballgag that will soon show her otherwise. I already know she has submissive tendencies during sex. Plus, I’m getting a little tired of getting clawed and bit as flattering as that is.

She actually thought it was negotiable? I only said I would get rid of the popular fiction books that were my late wife’s. I don’t read much popular fiction. I only kept a few of those.

You need to flap your mechanical arms up and down when you say that. And yeah, I probably won’t let her read that.
Saturday I drive her, her mom, and her sister 4-5 hours to visit her aunt and family in NYC. Then I get to sit in an apartment and try and follow the dialogue in Spanish, just to drive them all back home another 4-5 hours stopping to buy dinner some place. All this supposedly because we have to pick up some important papers these relatives brought from Peru. You should have seen the look I got when I asked if she had ever heard of FedEx. Meantime I wanted to go camping this weekend and see if there are any fall colors or if climate change has ruined that.
And her mom will be staying at my house Friday and Saturday nights, which means no sex for me because she’s very self conscious about how loud she is. I haven’t introduced her to the ball gag I have yet, but it’s coming.

So my Peruvian goes to the doctor today for a scheduled appointment, but coincidentally she hasn’t been feeling well the last couple days, nauseous and such. It wasn’t her regular doctor, but based on those symptoms she was given a pregnancy test.
I get some texts sounding me out on how I might react, until finally she admits the test was positive. She wanted to know how I felt, and then got very excited sending me emojis of babies and talking about how she’s confused and overwhelmed by all this.
I’m a little stunned. Her regular doctor took her off birth control a couple months ago telling her she wouldn’t be able to conceive, and that she almost certainly was menopausal. Admittedly it wasn’t a certain diagnosis, and I have been as often as I can dumping my little swimmers as deep as possible inside her, but I was sure nothing would come of that.
I mean holy fuck, I’m 56 years old and on blood pressure medication, which I fucking forgot to take this morning!
So I’m sitting at my desk at work having heart palpitations thinking about those two vacations that now have me in debt and speculating I probably won’t be able to retire until I’m over 80, and then she tells me she’s kidding.

Not today, but on Saturday.
I went to a big Halloween party with a friend. I dressed as Flor from the Progressive Insurance commercials, and she dressed as an accident victim, with torn and bloody clothes. Standing next to each other, it was a relatively clever co-costume.
But there were about 150 people at the party, and I was one of six people dressed as Flo. So much for originality. And I was the 6th best of the 6. The best "Flo" at the party was a guy, who had a beard, who nailed it.
In my opinion, the best costume was a husband and wife who came dressed as a bride and groom, only they switched roles: The woman was wearing black tie and tails, with a fake mustache and beard, and the man was wearing a beautiful wedding gown, and fully made up.

Sorry to hear that.
He’s been in the death spiral for quite some time. Sad though to see his mother insisting that he’s going to be okay and make a recovery. Not much to offer at this point except “thoughts and prayers.” I’m doubtful he’s even cognizant of what’s going on.

As much as I hate modern musical theater with Pitch Perfect pop tunes in lieu of period style soundtracks, I just have to applaud "This is Me" based on the message.
Also, delight in the irony of a man getting fake breasts, instead of a lady wearing a(n excellent) fake beard to play the same role.

For the first time in nearly a year, there's something missing in my home office -- the soft background hissing of an oxygen machine emanating from the baby monitor on my desk.
My mom died in her sleep early Saturday morning so the oxygen machine has been turned off, but that's not what ruined my day. Of course I was sorry to lose her, but it wasn't unexpected and in some ways it was a blessing.
No, what ruined my day was what came later. Things like notifying relatives (one of my sisters actually asked how long it would take to get our inheritance), dealing with the funeral home and dismantling the hospital bed and other equipment that belongs to hospice.
Our local hospice company is amazing. Before the day was over, no fewer than six hospice workers either called or came by on Saturday, and only one of them was actually on duty this weekend.
2018 has been an emotional roller coaster. It actually started in December 2017 when my mom had a debilitating stroke and was hospitalized.
While she was being treated for that, our oldest daughter took a bad turn in her 2-year battle against cancer and was put under hospice care. No longer able to be on her own, we moved her into our house, where she died five days later.
In the meantime, my mom had been discharged back to her assisted living home where her monthly cost went from $3000 a month (as an ambulatory resident) to over $6500 a month (as a bedridden invalid).
So, three days after our daughter died, we moved my mom into the house and she hasn't been out of bed since. I had no idea what a physical and emotional toll being a caregiver would take, but we just took things one day at a time.
I don't have a lot of childhood memories after I started school, and the thing I remember most about my mom when she was a single parent (up until I was 6) was that she sang to me every day. I didn't realize until many years later that most of the songs she sang were sad.
Six or seven years ago before my dad died, I asked my mom about the one song I remembered the best, although what I remembered was just the chorus, Please mommy please, stay home with me.
She amazed me by singing almost the whole song (there was a line or two that she'd forgotten), and it was only then that I realized what a sad song it was.
Of course, as a child, I was too young to understand most of the lyrics, but as it turned out in the end, she did stay home with me, for the final few months of her life.
Thank you for letting me ramble,
Remmy

Public Service announcement: I do a lot of elder care work. Guardianships, estate planning, and probate of wills. It never ceases to amaze to see adults, often in their 70’s themselves, fighting over estate property (What are you going to do with it? You’re 78!) and who loved mom the most. I’ve had one tied up for years over a dispute over the ashes. Uncle wants to part the ashes, daughter (administratrix) does not. Dad’s remains are sitting in a vault over at the funeral home, incurring fees, in the meantime.
Have a will, a medical directive, a power of attorney, a medical power of attorney, a HIPAA compliant authorization for friends and family, burial directive, and guardianship directive for yourself, and for your minor children.
The fees associated with the foregoing are minuscule in comparison to the fees spent by your family and heirs when you don’t have these documents. I just finished a $60,000 guardianship with two ancillary proceedings. Brother and sister fighting over mother and control of a multi-million dollar estate.

Thanks for that Toe.
That's some excellent FREE advice people. I had all of the above for both my daughter and my mother and it saved me a lot of grief.
I would add one more thing to look into: A membership in your state's Memorial Association.
In my state it's called Funeral Consumers Alliance and I paid a one-time $35 membership fee. The association contracts with one or more funeral homes and gives members some pretty steep discounts on funeral costs, between 35 and 50 percent.
For example, what's called a Simple Cremation is somewhere between $1550 and $1800 in my local area. By using the FCA contracted mortuary, I paid $885. Not very often I get $600-$700 value for 35 bucks.
Start by typing (STATE) Memorial Association into a search engine (https://duckduckgo.com) (not the G one unless you want to start seeing funeral home ads).

Story codes are required in Sex Stories by Members and True Sex Stories. I check every day and PM the authors if they don't have story codes or disclaimers. I've sent 2 PM's today already. If it's still not fixed in 48 hours, I will likely fix it. If it's a story from more than 3 years old, that has been commented on and bumped to page 1, I will not fix those.
As for stories posted to the story category sections, (Non Consent, Bestieality, Incest to name a few), they do not require story codes as the topic they are posted in pretty much says it all. This decision was recently discussed with the mods and it was decided we would keep with the practice set in place by GRM and other mods from 4 years ago.

I’ve had one of my troubled moments about this today, that it’s fiction as pointed out to me notwithstanding.
The gf is purging my house of all things she deems not in her taste, which is about everything. My mom is gladly willing to receive many of these items, so I loaded up the truck and did a reverse Beverly Hillbilly thing and took some of the stuff to her in West Virginia 2 hours away.
I stopped at one of those faux Mexican restaurants in the hick town she lives outside of and had dinner. Families were eating all around me. The 3 families eating near me all had a little girl with them. I estimate their ages as 9, 6, and 4. This shit was on my mind, and I couldn’t help but wonder how any adult could look at any of these innocent baby girls with lustful thoughts?
Yeah, go ahead and give me shit for saying that. I’m having a bad day already because of this.

I stopped at one of those faux Mexican restaurants in the hick town she lives outside of and had dinner. Families were eating all around me. The 3 families eating near me all had a little girl with them. I estimate their ages as 9, 6, and 4. This shit was on my mind, and I couldn’t help but wonder how any adult could look at any of these innocent baby girls with lustful thoughts?
Yeah, go ahead and give me shit for saying that. I’m having a bad day already because of this.
Jed, I write a lot of pedo stories and there all fictional about loving underage girls. I enjoy writing my stories, it doesn’t make me want to go out and harm any young child in anyway. Does writing these stories harm children or make others run out and harm children I don’t think so.
If KB wants ban these stories I’m happy not to write or post any more of these types of stories.
Im glad that KB lets us post fictional stories and let’s you and other members voice your concerns. I’m leaving it up to the mods to decide and welcome feedback from other members on what they want.

I get that it’s fiction, and I have written plenty of fiction that if real would be appalling.
I’m just going to always have trouble with this, and I don’t view that as a personal flaw.

I don't get it either, but no real people get hurt when it happens in fiction so I can't see any good reason to prohibit it. This is why there are story codes - an "Mg" code quickly tells me to move on and read something else, as does "Mf" unless there is something to indicate that the age difference is only a few years.
On the other hand, "mf" (and mF that doesn't involve incest) attracts my attention, with all of the potential for fueling "what could have been" fantasies that begin with events from my youth. Restricting stories with characters under 18 is just denying the reality that interest in sex begins well before 18, approximately half of people are no longer virgins on their 18th birthdays, and nearly everyone has had some sort of sexual experience by that point. This is where I think the rules we do have go too far - what is wrong with a true story of consensual sexual activity between middle or high school students?

Honestly, this is why I write most of my pedophilic, incest, and other taboo stories. (Also, when in Rome, frott the thighs of youths.) Because I kinda wonder what goes through their minds, when they're doing something so incredibly wrong.
There is no acceptable answer, honestly. They're sick, and insane. Their acts are sick, and insane, but there's also a variety of reasons that vary according to the abuser. None of them are healthy, but that's why they have various victimologies, which also fascinates me about the types.
Another thing that's plausibly my own fantasy is the idea that if we understood them better, we would be better at protecting our children from the unthinkable. Unfortunately, it's unthinkable. So, it's a challenge to even think about rationally, when there's so many triggering emotions associated with it.

Pissed off about being accosted by wifey. Normally it’s a good thing. Tonight, it just pissed me off. Her Internet community went down temporarily, so she decided it would be a good time to “squeeze one in.” So I’m awakened with her climbing on board, barking out orders, and forcibly grabbing my hands and putting them on her favorite locations. Pardon me. There is one thing I do not like, and that is having my sub grab my hands and put them anywhere. Totally doused the fire. I wasn’t in the mood to begin with, but it you are going to use me for a scratching post we have things available. So we had a disagreement, and I’m on the couch. I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in ages, and a new week, new month starts on Monday.

Listen up, if we need to squeeze one in, or need to use you as a scratching post, you had better be willing and ready or else you will end up on the couch. I don't blame her. Maybe someone else needs to be the sub from now on.

Being 'accosted' is not a good thing, regardless of your gender. Sex without consent--by both parties--is rape.
Dominating someone without loving them is called being a bully. Loving your partner means taking their needs into consideration, whether they are a submissive or not.
Submitting without being loved is called being a slave. If your partner loves you, they will take your needs into consideration.
Dominating someone without loving them is called being a bully. Loving your partner means taking their needs into consideration, whether they are a submissive or not.
Right, this is the thing I have to keep explaining to these wannabe Doms, and Dommes out there. It's the Sumbissive's fantasy. The Submissive's scene, you are sticking to. It's not for you, about you, or ruled by you, no matter how it may appear due to the superficial roles you're playing, but you're playing a role, For Her (Or him, as the case may be.)
Otherwise, it's abuse.

I don't condone rape, taking someone against their will, or abusing their partner when not in the mood. I'm sorry if anybody took my comment as such.
To hear my friend, Toe, complaining about having to have sex, is just very much out of the ordinary. While I took his post as him joking, I am comfortable believing he took my response in a kidding manner also.

Post by: psiberzerker on December 02, 2018, 06:28:13 PM
Yeah, well anybody can not be in the mood, at any time. Honestly, the myth of the always willing male is sexist, right about as sexist is assuming Dominant Male/submissive female by default. Forcing him to perform when he doesn't want to, or implying anything about his manhood when he's not raring to go just reinforces this double standard.
Completely separate (On a different axis) from the Dominant, submissive, or switch power disparity roles of the relationship. TBPH, playing the dominant role, AND making sure the submissives get what they want is a lot more work than just regular vanilla sex. So, the mood for both of them is even more critical.
I would argue that goading a man into having sex, when he doesn't want to isn't rape, but it certainly doesn't help him perform satisfactorally. In fact, it can really contribute to Performance Anxiety.

She apologized today. What I didn’t know (because I was asleep) was that she was drunk/stoned last night, and more than a bit out of it. When she woke me up, I really didn’t have time to make a full assessment, before the wheels fell off. No harm no foul, but I was really pissed off last night. We had a few good fucks this morning, and everyone is happy now. Whew.
Honestly, I don’t mind “squeezing in a quicky,” but shit. Wake me up with some kisses and caresses. *Arouse* me a bit before you grab the goodies. Do I sound like a woman? Yes! Of course I do! These principles know no gender.

I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in ages, and a new week, new month starts on Monday.
Never been woken like that by anyone, so not sure how I would react. It would probably depend on, well if I had wood.
And I’ll sheepishly admit, waking her, and past women, because I had an itch to scratch is way too common for me. It’s rarely well received, except that went well in the middle of Friday night (Saturday morning). She was on her side, and I woke stiff and already nearly on target spooning her. Just to make things easier mind you, I put a little lube on the end. What usually happens after that is typically complaints at being woke, but not this time. Still half asleep she began pushing back and moaning. It was actually really good, and a pleasant surprise that for once my nocturnal attack was well received.
When she gets aggressive, it involves riding me. I far prefer being the aggressor, so usually I let her gyrate and bounce while simultaneously trying not to look bored and hoping that one of those times she bounces too high she doesn’t come down and bend it too bad. That hurts! She’ll ask me several times if I like it, and I answer yes the same way I will this Christmas when I get an ugly sweater. Usually I wait until she tires, then flip her on her back or side to go for my finish.
But Saturday evening I gave her ass a hard smack while she was riding me. She didn’t complain, so I did it a few more times, hard snacks on her bouncing ass. That actually began to work for me, so next time she decides to pursue her equestrian activities, I’m going to slap her ass really hard and bark out orders for her to go faster. That just might make these rides enjoyable for me too.
She’s one that needs things to slowly escalate. I’m getting her used to things like my own aggressive sex. I can still tell I can’t go too far too fast, but I do like the progress.

This is a What Ruined My Week post. And why I haven't been on this week.
I received a call early Monday morning that my brother in law had passed away. Kevin was a resident at a care facility due to early onset alzheimer's. We were told later that it was a blood clot that was his cause of death. Kevin was a former member here and it was because of him that I found my way to KB. His username was Joe&Michelle.
He was the best guy you could ever know. My sister was lucky to have him in her life, and I was lucky to be along for their ride. He treated her like a queen and was devastated when she lost her fight with cancer in 2014.
Sunday was their anniversary. His daughter spent part of the day sitting on his lap looking at photo albums of the Kevin and Karen. He had a smile on his face the entire time. A few hours after the Lions game, we took him back. The nurse said he went to bed earlier than normal and he passed away during the night.

About an hour and a half of sleep tonight.
Buying 10 books in 10 days for my kindle. It's the only way I can cope with not sleeping. Reading will sometimes help me sleep. I used to get tired reading. It hasn't lately. I think it stimulates my mind and is keeping me awake even more. Too much thinking lately. Too much going on. Too much worrying. Yet I know everything is going to be fine. My mind is racing. Running and exercise used to keep my body balanced. That isn't working either. A doctor friend has written me two prescriptions. My insomnia laughed at it. I just need to f'ing sleep.

That kinda sucks. On the bright side, if hearing aides is what will restore your hearing, that’s good. It could be worse.
For me, it’s a measurable loss at 8 MHz in the left ear. Practically, I hope it doesn’t get worse. Financially, however, if my hearing gets worse, I may get some extra money in my military pension because I can prove that it was my service that caused the loss.
Anyways, just take it one day at a time with a smile on your face.

Not just a day, more like my whole damn week.
Early Monday morning my daughter's father-in-law keeled over and died unexpectedly, presumably from a heart attack. I think my daughter's anxiety is as much from realizing that it could just as easily have been me as from the death of her husband's dad.
Tuesday my sister's husband had his arm amputated at the shoulder. They also found an anomaly with his heart so he's facing heart surgery at some point in the future. By the third day of making 5-hour round trips to the hospital, it was beginning to take a physical as well as mental toll on me.
Saturday was the funeral and I've about reached my limit of being able to comfort family members. I am NOT the right person to come to for emotional support. If you've ever seen the TV comedy The Big Bang Theory, think Sheldon Cooper. Pats on the back and murmuring “There, there,” is about the limit of my ability to comfort people.
Oh yeah, and in the middle of all this I'm trying to settle my mom's estate and running into bureaucratic red tape every time I turn around while my three siblings keep asking what the fuck is holding things up.
There you have an amazingly short synopsis of a week that has me practically tearing out what little hair I have left.

Got a predeposit notice of my Christmas bonus: $225.00.
All those 50-60 hour weeks I put in are *really* starting to pay off.
That certainly buys more jars of jelly than the the jelly of the month gift Clark got.
Sorry toe, I get mine in March. It tends to be a bit more than that.
I went around and asked others what they got. One poor lawyer got $40. Seriously, it would be better to just give a bottle of wine than call $40 a bonus.

They got the guy that killed Sadie (Sarah) Hawkins, or at least they would have if he did not kill himself when they tried to arrest him.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I feel cheated somehow that he did not have to answer for his crime to her friends and family. Also count yet another death to gun violence.
But on the other hand he just saved all of us a lot of money on the trial and incarceration.

When the kids were younger, people would say “enjoy these years, they’ll go by very quickly.” It’s hard to contemplate, while you are stepping on LEGOs and cutting chewing gum out of their hair. Then one day you wake up and they are young adults. No more climbing into your lap to watch a movie, far fewer kisses, and hand scribbled notes are only a memory. My baby is graduating from high school next year. His brother is a fork lift operator. And yes, those years did go by very quickly. :'(

I have a big yard and the house is a 100 feet from the street, so other than my dog annoyingly barking at the window, I don’t mind when people walk their dogs on the street past my house.
I got one neighbor that uses little sky blue baggies to tie up their dog shit. OK not really required as far as I’m concerned, however this stupid ass then tosses the baggie of dog shit on my yard? I mean what fucking disfunction does a person have that they think that’s preferable or even OK? I actually don’t give a rat’s ass if their dog shits on my yard, it’s biodegradable. I got no clue who is doing this, but hey fuckwad, I don’t like picking up your bags of dogshit!

My mother had her 50+ year old step child call me to inform she will not come visit for Christmas, despite my having purchased a plane ticket for her. When step bro and his sister refused to let me speak with my own mother, I called the police and had them do a wellness check. The police officer advised she’s fine, she just says she doesn’t want to come visit. Ugh.
My mother has a long history of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse where I am concerned. I haven’t seen her in a decade. She doesn’t know any of her grandchildren. I’m the only one of her biological children that will even speak with her.
This reminded me (again), that I really am an orphan. Both of my parents abandoned me more or less, when I was only ten years old. I was raised by my grandparents. No amount of effort on my part will ever turn one or both of them into normal human beings. Time to give it up. I fucking hate the holidays for doing this kind of shit.

Holidays exacerbate the situation, but family shit goes down all the time. Two of my boys aren't talking and both refuse to visit if the other one is going to be present. I simply tell each of them that they're welcome and if they choose not to show up that I'll miss them.
I refuse to let either put me in the middle. They're both adults and if they don't want to act like it, then its their problem, not mine.
Chirp is right, sometimes you just gotta let go. As long as they know the door is open, that's all you can do. The ball is in their court. It won't do you any good to beat yourself up about it.

In college, I was working a 6-midnight shift at a radio station. I ran out of smokes about 8 and slipped a request into my patter for someone to bring me some. The FCC could have suspended my license if anyone had reported me, but no one did.
The studio was on the second floor above a movie theater and another college kid on his way to the movie brought me a pack. Wouldn't even let me pay for them. Of course, they were only 50-cents a pack at the time. :D

It's half off Xmas candy and clearance item day. I went with the baby Latina because she loves to go shopping with me. She loves the bright colors of products.
Anyway, there was this little boy in the store who wanted chocolate milk. His mother, a completely inattentive young twit kept telling him no, they had three jugs of milk at home. She offered to buy chocolate syrup because it was way cheaper. The kid went absolutely insane. He kept screaming BUT I WANT IT! Then cried like a spoiled brat. This went on for 20 fucking minutes with this little brat bitching and moaning about chocolate milk. His mother never once told him to stop or disciplined him. The whole store could hear him screaming. BUT I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My baby Latina does not like hearing kids screaming. She covers her little ears every time we're out and someones spoiled kid has a tantrum. She went from smiling to frowning and covering her ears. I was so tempted to lay the mommy smack down on that kid, but you know his mother would be all "don't tell my son what to do", because she sure as fuck doesn't. Then we had the misfortune of getting stuck behind them in checkout. The mom's morbidly obese sister couldn't figure out how to use the food stamp card right, so that just dragged the fuck on forever. All the while..... BUT I WANT IT!!!!!!!!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:emot_banghead:
CJ was screaming in her head as she held the baby Latina's ears for her "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE BASTARD!"
Ok, so a millennium later we finally get out of there. The baby Latina's ears were safe. Or so we thought. One final scream I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My children have never, would never behave like that.

No I wouldn't Chirp...the stories you relate about your kiddies are delightful to read about. Most kids are fun, it's just those few and I blame the parents. I just love the summer here. We have a neighborhood of young kids who are so great.
Summer nights they all seem to gather at the house across the street. The sound of the screams and laughter ring through the dusk as they run and play games filled with youthful imagination. And, they're smart too. Before the running and games they have school right after dinner. The older kids teach the younger kids what they know. Those younger kids are going to have a giant head start in school.

PS: I'm proud of you Chirp. From what you've shared, your kids have the best gift ever -- a parent who cares enough about them to teach them how to be responsible adults.

I know it's not his fault. His mother was obviously too young to do her job. I have never, ever had problems with my babies. I've never had to discipline them, except ordering them to stop running up and down the stairs. They don't do that anymore. The baby Latina has never cried once when I take her out. She loves the adventure. My sister and her wifey's daughter... Never a peep from her either.

Mexican Fireworks. :roll: I checked my van this morning, and though it didn't penetrate, I found a backwards mushroomed 9mm slug near the dent it left in the roof. I wasn't in it, but it still pissed me off!
(I assume it mushroomed on the base because the rifling kept it spinning nose-up? I didn't think about that.)

Fucking gout.
I first got it ~10 years ago with rare flare ups years apart. A diet of meat and beer brings it on, and that’s been my holidays.
Meds take care of it in a couple days , but it chose to rear its ugly head just after Christmas while I’m traveling, very inconveniently away from my doc and pharmacy. I’m calling the doc tomorrow, hopefully he will renew my meds without a visit.
Meantime, I can’t sleep worth a fuck and putting on my left shoe makes me nearly scream. At least I was with my Peruvian the last several days, but I took her home today.

Got my meds today, directions are take 3 per day. That’s supposed to be spread out about 8 hours aoart. Here it is 3 hours later and already took my 3 for today.

Listening to the news on the way to work. One report told of a woman in a coma for 14 years becoming pregnant. I tried finding the story in google, and though I couldn't find this recent case, there were a bunch of other similar search results. Raping women in a comatose state is a thing? WTF is wrong with this world.

When I first heard the radio reporter state, "A woman in a coma for 14 years gives birth" My initial thought was, "OMG, immaculate conception" I hadn't had my coffee yet. Good thing to, because had I, a second later when it sunk in what had happened, I likely would have thrown it up.

CAT OWNER FAIL!
My male cat has me trained to keep an eye on him, and when he heads into the bathroom I'm to jump up and put fresh water in his dish in there. Today I missed him going in.
I was walking past the door and spied him leaning over the toilet seat trying to figure out how to get to the water in that bowl. I quick rushed in and ran fresh water in the "correct" bowl and he was happy. Of course there were the usual cat mutterings under his breath about how hard it is to keep humans trained. :emot_laughing:

I picked up snacks and drinks for the babies. Wifey #2 got a double dose of food stamps for some reason, so she sprung for some goodies too. We might locked in all weekend, or even longer because after the snow it's supposed to get brutally cold.

I took a job in Minneapolis for three years. Besides being told I talk funny, and being asked where I played hockey as a boy, the other constant was the fucking weather. You have about six relatively fabulous weeks out of the year. The rest is hell. It was -40° F with six feet of snow the day I arrived, and -40° F with six feet of snow the day I left.

I had to park outside for the first 14 year of having my drivers license. Then I got my garage and didn't have to warm up or brush the snow off my car anymore, except at work. To have an indoor spot taken away would definitely ruin my day, especially with the weather as it is today.
What ruined my day... Today? Nothing. Might have a little cabin fever later, but that's okay, football on today and my daddy and his friend coming over.

10AM I notice the earliest detectable symptoms of a head cold (face feels odd).
11AM I head down to Walgreens for zinc lozenges, hitting Sprouts on the way back to snag some raw honey and apple cider vinegar (I have both at home, but not at work)
<the rest of the day> slowly sipping tea with 2TB ACV & 1TB honey, alternating with zinc lozenges every 2 hours. Wearing a surgical mask to protect the other poor suckers a little.
By 5pm I'm saturated on zinc and I can taste it all the time... it's a weird metallic taste, and it'll flavor EVERYTHING I eat for the next few days. Sigh.
I caught it fast enough that the symptoms should be mild. I undoubtedly got it within minutes of arriving at work this morning, since I didn't leave home yesterday.

‘None of the studies analyzed had enough participants to meet a high standard of proof. Also, the studies used different zinc dosages and preparations (lozenges or syrup) for different lengths of time. As a result, it's not clear what the effective dose and treatment schedule would be.
Zinc — especially in lozenge form — also has side effects, including nausea or a bad taste in the mouth. Many people who used zinc nasal sprays suffered a permanent loss of smell. For this reason, Mayo Clinic doctors caution against using such sprays.
In addition, large amounts of zinc are toxic and can cause copper deficiency, anemia and damage to the nervous system.
For now, the safest course is to talk to your doctor before considering the use of zinc to prevent or reduce the length of colds.’

Don't believe everything you read, even on WebMD. :emot_kiss: Most suggestions I've seen on treating a cold are amusing or completely wrong.
I've been doing this for ~20 years, and it works for me. Zinc every 2 hours until the blood levels are saturated (about 3 or 4 lozenges), then drop back to 1 every 4 hours until the end of the third day. After that, it's pointless so don't continue, no matter what the directions on the package say. Everything after the third day is damaged caused in the first 3 days before the targeted T-cells have killed the virus, and zinc will hamper the healing after that, not help it.
The specific brand of zinc I buy is called 'Cold-Eeze', in either tropical fruit or cherry.
If you wait to start the zinc until you already have a sore throat and stuffy head, then it won't work. Zinc helps minimize or moderate the initial damage caused when non-specific white blood cells are flooded to the upper respiratory tract to blow apart cells at random, hoping to get enough of the viral protein fragments into the blood stream so that the glands / lymph nodes can produce the targeted T-cells. If your immune system is working, the cold virus is completely dead by the end of the third day.
ACV and honey are both mild antiseptics, and the hot tea helps break up the congestion. It seems to help me more than going without.
I also take Sudafed + Guaifenesin for the first few days to help keep the sinuses from blocking. If I feel up to it, a kid's dose of Benadryl also helps a bit, but usually I'm already too funky to deal with the added sleepiness of the Benadryl.
edit: Here's a medical review of the results of several studies (1984-2010) on zinc for colds: https://doi.org/10.1002/ebch.1859 They agree with me: the earlier you start zinc, the better it works. I got on it within 4 hours of the initial infection, and 23 hours later the symptoms are very mild other than stuffy sinuses.

(The "Richest" depends on how you count wealth/distribution. Per capita, Switzerland is a lot richer, but then again, they don't have a "Millionaire" leader who has the trim (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/46/Shirley_Eaton_as_Jill_Masterson_in_Goldfinger.jpg/300px-Shirley_Eaton_as_Jill_Masterson_in_Goldfinger.jpg) in his Miami resort painted gold.)

And what you said is true. They have brand new iPhones, new clothes and cars. They take from there so they have more of their daddies money. Rarely have I seen a truly broke college kid show up.

I have to think about what it must be like for his victims. Whenever you see your attacker, it's triggering, and for anyone he has assaulted ("Grab them by the pussy" is sexual assault) he's inescapable now. Everywhere, no matter where you look. If you turn on the TV, or just walk past a news stand, there he is.

Got into a brief argument with my Peruvian. I bought $70 worth of vegetable seeds. While selecting them and asking her what she likes, she suddenly began telling me I was buying way too many, and why now when it’s still winter, and why now and so much when I’ve been saying money is short right now (paying for a damn expensive wedding).
She didn’t like my answers no matter how diplomatically I tried to give them: a. It’s an investment; we’ll be eating very well from this investment. b. It’s not too much (seeds). I know this a little bit better than you, because I’ve been growing my own food for 20 years. I know what I need for the garden. c. I always buy seeds around now (still winter). Why? Because if I wait until the days I want to plant, I can never find the seeds I want.

My wife has been buying seeds, seedlings, plants, and bags of soil mix for weeks. She plants the seeds in little planting treys, then puts them in the windowsill to sprout. They’ll be transferred outside later. My house looks like a greenhouse this time of year.
Miss Peru needs to get with the program. Once you have enjoyed truly organic, home grown, fruits and vegetables, you will never go back. The taste, the texture, the *freshness* of home grown produce cannot compare. I was a little skeptical at first myself, but am now a full blown convert.

She’ll get it too. But it gets tiresome being lectured on something I know and she doesn’t, as if I’m an idiot infant. It’s like the time she and her mom were ‘cleaning’ my kitchen, and I had to defend the existence of every single item; they assuming I had no clue what belonged in a kitchen, therefore everything they didn’t recognize was trash. I mean for fuck’s sake, I had to explain what things like a potato peeler and whisk were for, and yes I do use them all the time!

It doesn't get any more fresh, local, and seasonal than growing it yourself. Total shipping? Cutting them, and carrying them to the sink to wash them off.

Actually I did spend a few hundred dollars on a chicken coop once, but then built a couple after that. Keeping poultry is on hold for now, the neighbor that used to feed and water when I was away passed away the same year as my wife. And, my last chicken died that same year. At one point I had chickens in 2 places, plus ducks and guinea fowl.
I need to go slow on bringing the birds back. My Peruvian already thinks I’m crazy after seeing me seed buying.

We only touched the freezing mark (briefly) twice this winter, and our arugula beds survived. They are actually blooming now, and are thick with leaves! Good thing we love arugula!

Yeah, and that's sensible, because you're doing it for eggs instead of a Status Symbol. I'm not judging you for that, I was just alluding to the fad that was so last year:
Chicken shit is also a great fertilizer, as well as eggshells to enrich your compost, and make for a more sustainable biome. My mom used a Rabbit Hutch much the same way, I thought that you planted "Rabbit Seeds" to make more rabbits, since they multiplied so quickly. We didn't get eggs out of it, but we did get a lot of Rabbit on the table. A lot easier to skin than plucking chickens.
She didn't make it look like a Vicrotian House, though. it wasn't decorative, it was basically just a 2x4 box, with chicken wire, and an enclosed side for them to keep warm in. Not unlike a chicken coop.
Back in the day, it was Pigeons, and rooftop gardens in the New York metro area. Or "Doves," and they served "Squab," because pigeon doesn't sound as hoity toity.

I think the fancy chicken houses helps when you live in a neighborhood where neighbors are likely to complain if your yard looks trashy.
My hen house is a metal shed that cost about $200, and the coop is the entire backyard. I'm still putting off getting new chickens because the killer dogs aren't gone yet.

Not entirely sure why as yet, but there’s a lilac theme to the wedding, flower and color. But where I got the tux, there were no light purple options for a vest or tie, not to buy or rent. So we found a tie in JC Penny and a pocket stuffer in Macy’s that exactly matched and she said was lilac. If they don’t match whatever she has in ‘lilac’, it will certainly somehow be my fault.
I’ll need a black bow tie too of course. I’m also at some point going to be unable to resist ordering a vodka martini, shaken not stirred. I was in Monte Carlo once, but didn’t bother with the casino, although did avail myself of their casino parking. We drove up from Nice, had a lunch and lucked out by seeing the youngsters in small open wheel cars just frying around a track! Might have been kids, but it was as exciting to see, and I can truthfully say I saw a race at Monte Carlo.

My late father in law used to winter in Nice, and passed away there during the Cannes film festival a few years ago. I mention Cannes because he had gone there for a night of partying, returned to Nice in the early hours, and collapsed in a hallway. I used to enjoy visiting him there, and made the trip to Monte Carlo once, in similar fashion. He was only a year older than me when he died, which frightens me when I think about it. Gone too soon.

Not entirely sure why as yet, but there’s a lilac theme to the wedding, flower and color. But where I got the tux, there were no light purple options for a vest or tie, not to buy or rent.
For color coordination, Lemon, and Lilac is classic spring wedding colors. To accessorize, you can wear a yellow tie to set off the Gold in the rings.

Lilac tie, and her rings are white gold. I didn’t get mine yet.
Don’t know if any yellow is involved, I just pay the bills trying not to wince too bad, as a I get grief when my reactions are too obvious.

I don't mind pedo fantasies so long as that is all they are. After all, I was once an adolescent that had exteme sexual fantasies. However, incest/pedo is a whole other creepy animal. While I can imagine a stranger taking advantage of me, a trusted relative is a level of betryal that just makes me sick.

Not quite alone mind you, my German Shepherd is here, and pleased that she’s allowed on the bed (banned when the gf is over). Still, things seem wrong she’s not here, and I can’t sleep.

3 rums with juice while watching the 1954 movie ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’, sort of a cute abduction with intent to defile movie. . . . and they sing about it. I got 3 hours sleep before work.
Earlier this week I heard a critter downstairs. It had crawled up under the floor boards of my bedroom. I’ve been hearing it once or twice a month since summer. I had already come to the conclusion it wasn’t one of the stray cats I used to feed in my laundry room. I was thinking a squirrel or raccoon having seen them around, and hoping it wasn’t rats. I already put rat bait out. I blocked the cat door to keep anything from coming in from the garage and set a live trap.
When I came home around 1:00PM from work and tried to continue working, my internet was out. So, I checked the signal booster downstairs, it becoming unplugged is the usual reason for an outage. Well, there was a raccoon in the trap. It had pulled both the extension cord to the booster and a cord to a brand new carpet cleaner into the trap and chewed them up. It also managed to rock the trap next to a laundry basket and chewed up some towels.
The raccoon was released this morning 10 miles from my house. The cat door will remain blocked.

We've got mice, which get into the food (When somebody leaves the breadbox open) and have chewed through wires. The weather is enticing them to come inside where it's warm, and dry, but it also fluctuates. So, we have more activity when it's wretched out.
We're trying a commercial product that uses ultrasound to keep them out, but the weather's been too nice lately to really tell if that's what caused it. We also have live traps (Incidentally, rodents, Racoons, which are Pandas, and Opossoms which are Marsupials, all seem to prefer Peanut Butter as bait to the classic cartoon Cheese. It's used because of the yellow color, which gets the audience's attention, just like banana peels. Not because it's effective, though banana peels are effective bait in the wild, where it smells exotic.)
We use live traps, but also turn in the ones we get to a local pet-shop, to be eaten by snakes. They have Lemurs there, too! Not to be "Humane," they're mice. They'll make more...

I usually use the trap to catch groundhogs destroying my garden, baiting it with an apple. I had been popping them with a .22, but that required a bit of time and luck while my veggies vanished. Plus, while I would use my shed as a backstop in case of ricochet, it still wasn’t exactly safe with houses around. Trying for groundhogs has gotten many raccoons, squirrels, and possums.

I don't have much experience with trapping groundhogs, but I've done a lot of Prairie Dogging when I lived in AZ. Banana Peels worked great on wild Pika in northern NM, but those were wild. The trick seems to be using a scent that's enticing, but unfamiliar. They may not even really go for banana peels if they can get them in any old trachcan, so semi-arboreals like raccoons may pass them up. I don't believe that groundhogs climb well enough to browse trashcans, but I could be wrong.

Once I know there’s a groundhog around, an apple doesn’t last a day without trapping it. That is unless some other critter gets there first, which happens frequently.

My funeral is simple. No crying. No sad. Just spread my ashes under the big tree at my grandparents place when the leaves start to change in the fall. And the theme to last starfighter must be playing when it's being done.

Spread my ashes in the small clearing 2.3 miles down the trail north from the established campground and road in the Laurel Forks Wilderness Area in West Virginia. While my backpacking campsite changed over the years, really only by 50 yards or less, I’ve spent at least 50 nights in a tent at that spot. Once a black bear prowled around my tent in the night coughing and growling. I banged on the tent side and yelled at it to go away, and it did.

That's pretty much what I've laid out for my family, but I'd suggest having the ashes scattered in a forest or a garden instead of flushed. Cremains are not as fine as people think, and could possibly clog up the toilet.

Toilet drains range from 3-to-4 inches in diameter. (Thanks for making me look that up) so if it's any chunkier than that, I'd say the crematorium isn't doing their job. I know some of the things I've birthed, and flushed without clogging, and I must say. They better not have any bits of bone larger than that.

It doesn't ruin my day, but logging on, and finding 4 Incest stories in a row* in the Recent Unread Topics search with nothing else. Day after day, it's become a bit of a regular disappointment.
(*Though it, varies, of course. Today it was 4 in a row, while other days it might be 6 UA stories, or 10 mixed between those 2.)
I know I talk about this a lot, but it's not like it happens often. It's every single day. I bent over backwards, and pulled out every trick I know, for 6 weeks to get 3 stories. 3 pretty great stories I didn't have to write, but still.

If I had to guess, I'd say you must not have read it, decided that I'm a hypocrite, and therefore I must have done exactly the same thing. As all the other watersports stories in the INCEST section I was complaining about. Specifically.
Either that, or you read it, and decided that a mother, and daughter Talking about sex is exactly the same thing as Incest. So far, all the sex that's actually happened in the exact same thing was a husband getting his first blowjob from his wife.

Please, somebody. I know that Wayne isn't going to write anything else, but could someone give us a little more variety here?

If you want an old farmer trick for removing slivers (and it actually works). Find a pine tree and get some pitch from the tree (pitch <--sap) cover the sliver (where it entered your skin)....leave in on for a day or two (it will pull the sliver out and take away the pain also.

Yeah, if I had any kids, i could tell them about how their grandma was raised Quaker. Not quite Amish, or Mennonite, but still. Sex wasn't a thing, that happened.

Gee, when we were kids, and went camping, my dad made us all learn how to read a map, and how to lose a lensatic compass, and to navigate. I still have the lensatic compass he gave each one of us.

I use maps a lot. It helps when there’s no cell service. When you like like being in the middle of fucking no where, no signal is a frequent occurrence. I’ve considered a gps for hiking, but funny thing about maps, they don’t need batteries and technical issues are usually limited to folding them correctly.

OFFS. The Youtube Recommendations continue. Today, the subject du jour is how Bree Larson is ruining the MCU, Disney, and western civilization in general. Not 1, but 3 videos on the assumption that I like to watch comic book movies, and therefore I must hate an actress, for playing the role she was cast in.

I don’t follow YouTube, Marvel, Disney, or western civilization in general, but even I have seen some rather virulent misogyny directed towards this actress. Rotten Tomatoes actually shut down their rating page for the movie, because of the trolling hatefulness being spewed towards a female super hero. Disgusting.

Honestly, what's the idea that the most successful cinematic event in history being "Ruined?" That's right, it's ruined all the way to the bank.
I know, let's give a review of a movie we haven't even seen, because it isn't even out yet, and blame the actress we don't like, pro-actively. For ruining something that isn't ruined. How can anyone take this at all seriously?
Oh noes! We can't go see Captain Marvel, because the Misogynists say it's a bad movie! What ever shall we do? I mean, besides show up to watch it in theaters, in record numbers, just like we did for Black Panther, and Wonder Woman when they tried this Denial of Service attack twice before.
Thor: The Dark World was much worse than they're even saying Captain Marvel is (Without watching it) and somehow, that didn't ruin the MCU. The Mandarin twist didn't ruin it either. Nope, still going, but I guess Chris (Which one is it? Oh yeah, the Australian Chris) and Guy aren't women, or minorities. (Though, with a name like Guy Pierce, I'm amazed they're not calling him gay.)

Almost makes you think Marvel is tweaking the comcon public. Because “there’s no such thing as bad publicity,” and making it political motivates the female movie going public, which Marvel would LOVE to get more dollars from.

It's not a "Female movie," though. It's not a rom-com, it's not an all female cast like Black Panther was the African American movie. It's just got 1 female lead. Is the villain female? The rest of the Star Force? No, there's just a woman on the poster. It's not even Mrs. Marvel.
Last Week it was Supergirl being accused of being a "Social Justice Warrior." Not Superman, who was The member of the Justice League, and the Justice Society, floating in front of Steppinwolf, and quipping about he's "Also a big fan of Justice."
The other one, the blonde, with the tits. That's what's ruining our childhoods, "Social Justice."

Disney most likely threatened them. Larson is a garbage Human being. She supported a fund raising effort to send "poor" little girls to see her movie. Pretty sure poor children need other things than movie tickets. That money goes right to Disney and her pockets. If she cared she'd have said take that money and donate it to a charity or school or something.
She's a racist, sexist, insufferable cunt.
No one wants to see the movie because of her, not because of a female superhero. After all, Alita: Battle Angel did pretty well and I'm pretty sure the main character wasn't a man. And none of it's stars opened their fat mouths to spew bullshit. Fuck, James Cameron gave a little girl new bionic arms and all Larson has done is tell a whole race and gender of people to go fuck themselves. Those same people being much of Marvel/Disney's profit base.
I'm sure it'll still make money and it'll get a sequel though so it doesn't matter.

I’ve also never paid to see a single super hero movie. Primarily, I think that’s because most of the time I’m an adult.
But I’m marrying a girl that’s like a little kid, so I’m sure she will be dragging me to the theater for such things.
Even when I was a kid reading comics, I preferred scifi with aliens and such and found the super hero ones stupid. That’s probably not going to win me any friends here is it?
Maybe it’s me that’s off his meds?

I kinda figured some at least could be found, and admittedly I haven’t tried real hard yet. 8 1/2 is one I had keyed in on as I needed to see very soon.
Btw, while I am in the middle of a manic moment right now, I still got who you meant was off their meds and it wasn’t Psi. . . . . at that particular time.

I'm kinda reveling in the special effects extravaganza nature of them. Don't get me wrong, Marvel's doing a lot with the characterization, and experimenting with the standard pacing, like the 3 act structure, and Hero's Journey to subvert them. (Shane Black's Iron Man III being the best example.)
But at the end of the day, I appreciate them the same way I do Snakes on a Plane, and Sharknado.

Okay, but first you set it up by having a meltdown about SJWs, then pick the recurring mantra about my "Meds" you've been using ever since RavishU, to set up for the punchline that I think everything is about me.
Like that hasn't been done before. Yesterday. For someone so surprised that I thought you were telling me to take my meds again. You sure seemed to pull out every trick to make me think that, right down to playing the pronoun game.
When was the last time you called Chirpy "Them?" Besides that, you know exactly as much about my medication as you do Chirpy's. "Hi, Doctor Nick!"

Well your memory is wrong. I have no reason to lie about it.
You came over here. Irish girl did too around the same time. You were arguing with each other and referenced another argument you’d had at RU (if memory serves me correct). Another member sent me a link, and so I went over to RU to see for myself.
Ask Lois. She’s known me 10 years and knows both forums. I’m not an RU person, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Apparently, the 1,000 words weren't what you're intending to elucidate. My Mistake.
That is the trouble with older unhip guys and google. I just thought that was a cute gif of Captain Marvel yelling at Quark. I’m not sure what the 1,000 words are. I generally try to stay out of arguments I don’t have a stake concerning.
And looking at that more closely, I see it isn’t Quark.

The problem with posting something like that, without any context, is we can't really tell what you mean. So, it's open to interpretation, and misinterpretation. Sometimes, we have to fill in the blanks, and we don't get the thousand words you intended.
I had no idea that was supposed to be the side of Quark's head, out of focus, in the corner of the frame, with no ear.

I was active on RU since Jan2013. I recall Merv/toe posting on this forum very recently about reading the Psi + IrishGirl ‘dialogue’ on RU, but that is my only knowledge of toe even looking on RU let alone being a member. I have never seen any posts by him during my time there or older posts that pre-date my residence. To my knowledge toe has never posted there, and I am almost certain there was never any interaction between the two of you there. I would have seen that. I’m also rather good at spotting people based on their posting habits, and I don’t recall anyone posting like toe does here, on RU.
It’s not uncommon to join a forum, look around, and then leave. . . . . and later remember being there but not sure if they ever joined. I made that exact mistake here when I saw the name Jed was taken. I thought it was me. It wasn’t. That’s how here I became Jed_.

A very long time ago, there was an obnoxious political troll here named Melissa. He was a convicted sex offender, and we did not like each other, at all. And we argued like Athos and Joan in 1408 on a daily basis.
Well, someone decided it would be funny to start a rumor that Melissa and I were the same person. And that I have multiple personality disorder and was arguing with myself. And the rumor caught on. And the more I denied it, the worse it got. I finally took down my profile and quit KB for a year.
So when Jed asked me if I was IrishGirl, my first thought was , “Oh fuck, here we go again.”
If you want to know who I am, ask me. That is the reason all my former names and aliases are on my profile. Just please don’t accuse me of using a fake profile to troll someone.

That was a joke of course. I know the Irish slut rather well, although been a couple months since I heard from her (me not going into chat lately probably the main reason). I’ve probably spent nearly a 100 hours privately chatting with her, not role playing, chatting. Although a few times I may have ordered her to do things.

I don’t play video games either.
Back in 1998 a game came with the new iMac bought by my boss as my work computer. I played the game incessantly for weeks. One Sunday I decided to try and see if I could play it from the beginning through all the levels without getting killed. I succeeded. It took about 14 hours. I looked outside seeing it was dark and realized I had spent the entire day with barely a food break playing that game. I didn’t feel like I won anything by succeeding. I felt like an idiot. I haven’t wasted my time with such things since.
As far as super hero stuff not being adult. I can’t really judge that, like I said, I thought super powers as they were described were stupid when I was a kid too. Even as a kid I needed such things to be, to some extent, believable. I love me some scifi, but make it at least, not impossible.

If it helps with the ‘adult’ thing, I have a recurring fascination with model trains. So yes, I like playing with toy trains.
Beyond that, omg. Anything to do with the outdoors that also involves feeding myself, sightseeing or ‘roughing it’ in ways that simulate the past, but not outdoor activities like skiing, climbing, mountain biking etc. I like to slowly experience nature, and don’t need to supplement that rush with something that prevents me from looking all around instead of staring at the next place my ski or tire tread needs to be.
Travel Hiking Camping in all it’s forms from as primitive as possible to my trailer with full hookups Hunting Shooting Fishing Canoeing Gardening, mostly vegetables, but I like flowers too. I kept fowl for eggs, might do that again soon I used to collect both coins and stamps, still have my collections Cooking and good food in general

He collects the big Lionel Trains (and for the record anyone who thinks Trains are just for kids, forget it.....The prices for the Lionel Trains are through the roof...!!!).
I inherited a large collection of O gauge Lionel trains, but did not have any place to put them. I thought my kids would be interested, but not really. After 15 years of paying storage fees, I put them on eBay. Within 15 minutes my phone was ringing off the hook... “Do not sell them before I make it to Texas!” Less than a week later, I had a check for $12,000+ in my hand. So yes, it is an expensive hobby. I have a few much larger G gauge LGB trains, but I only put those up around the Christmas tree during the holidays.

Trains are a lot less relevant that they were when we were kids. So, I'm not surprised that they're not as interested in them any more.

After years of being asked when I want this test done I finally am scheduled for mid-April. Just reading about what I have to do before the test is enough to make me not want to have it. The nurse kept asking me all these heart related questions and I had to ask her just how far up were they going to go? Probably will be my first and only time I will have this procedure. Ugh

They gave me one in the hospital, when I had my last heart attack. Didn’t ask for it. I was pretty out of it. But everything looked good, so I am glad I had it.

The prep is the worse part. Hint: Add a couple packets of Crystal Lemonade powder to the gallon of crap you have to drink.
As for the procedure...they give you good drugs! Just relax and enjoy. You can watch on the monitor if you'd like to see your insides or just go to sleep. That's what I do. Again, GOOD DRUGS!

Actually it's not. Once they wheeled me into the procedure room (with my eyes closed), I heard the anesthesiologist say, "Let's just get this mask on." Next thing I heard was a nurse saying, "We can take this mask off now." Not even a little discomfort after the fact.
As mentioned, the worst happens the day before. I wish I'd known about the Crystal Lite suggestion. Drinking 4 liters of devil's brew in 12 hours is not much fun.
That's SIXTEEN 8-ounce glasses, half in a two hour span at night and then the other half the morning of the procedure. I drank the last glass at 6:15 and at 6:30 I "undrank" it, so to speak. That stuff should be illegal for human consumption.
Not to be indelicate, but you can probably guess which room I spent most of the night in. At least I had a good long novel on my phone to read.
I had one polyp (whatever that is) removed during the procedure, which couldn't be done using the mail-in version. The doctor also said there was some diverticulitis, which he called normal wear and tear.
Bottom line (no pun intended :D) I don't think I'll ever have another one, at least not by choice.

They'll have to biopsy it to find out what it is. If it's nothing, then they probably won't even call you to tell you. "You have nothing."

Be glad you aren't me... I went through the colon prep THREE TIMES. The first time was pointless... it didn't do shit (pardon the pun). The second time was better: I ran clear eventually, although the proctologist said that I still had 3 to 5 pounds worth of plant matter jammed up there. They'd double dosed me for the second try.
I.E. the doctor told me I was full of shit, AND HE PROVED IT. He blamed my (mostly) vegetarian diet.
The third time they went even MORE extreme on the prep, and it finally cleaned me out enough that he could take the pix he wanted. He identified 3 polyps (all benign) and said that was pretty normal. He was surprised at what he'd had to put me through to get my intestines cleaned out, though. He said he'd never had anyone that needed more than the second (doubled) dose.

RopeFiend, I know how you feel, I had to take the colonoscopy prep and had the procedure to find a small bleed and when they couldn’t find it they shoved a camera down my throat (upper endoscopy) and found a bleed in the small intestine. They tattooed where the bleed was in my intestine then did keyhole surgery to cut out part of my intestine and join it back together. Taking the prep was the hardest part of everything they did, luckily I enjoy drinking clear soup and black tea and clear drinks. I lost a lot of weight done the toilet bowl it’s not a diet I would recommend.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: msslave on March 04, 2019, 12:29:11 AM
My first one was while I was in the hospital with a blockage in small intestine. I'd had a NG tube in for several days and wasn't allowed food or water all that time.
When the prep time came, the nurse came in with a huge syringe. She'd fill it full and squirted the solution through the NG tube straight to my tummy, no swallowing that crap!
The sweetheart nurse also got me into a private room. The bathroom was shared with the room next to me but she said the guy in there wouldn't be using it. Later I walked by and saw him. He had about a dozen tubes going in and out of him. Decided my problems weren't so bad. BTW...slept through most of the procedure. Lot to be said for good drugs.

Had to look that one up IB. We call it ER. So sorry, sending you positive energy, and a prayer sent up.
Sorry about that IB, and shit, me too. Except my Peruvian missed a step on her stairs after I dropped her off this morning. By noon she could barely keep any weight on her right foot. So I met her at her work this evening, helped her to her car, followed her home, then took her to the ER where we spent a few hours. Good news is it’s not broken, she’s just on crutches for a few days until it’s not painful, with Motrin and rest.
The nurses at one point in the ER asked me, ‘What is your relationship to the patient?’ I pointed at her finger and replied, ‘I’m the one that bought that rock.’ That got a few giggles, and they asked her if she said yes.

I'm sick of it. It sucks. You know it sucks, just like you knew you're trolling when you did it. So, thanks for ruining my day. Next time, I'm sure it will be someone else, but I've basically given up, and gone back to writing daddy-daughter stories. Since that's all anyone wants to hear form me, if even that.
Thank you for missing the fucking point. Can you say honestly that I'm not trolled, constantly, anywhere I go besides Sex Stories? I don't need you getting in line to join everyone else. You've won, I know my place. I just need some time, if that's not too much to ask.

Psi, you need to stop being such a drama freak. Especially about a single incident. Take a deep breath and carry on.
The truth is, you seem to miss the point that many make in discussions and you fixate on minor points. You also assume a great deal of things which causes many people confusion in the discussions.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: psiberzerker on March 16, 2019, 03:42:43 PM
The truth is, you seem to miss the point that many make in discussions and you fixate on minor points.
So? Why is that a problem, exactly? How is taking a minor point, and extrapolating on that, often after the thread itself has strayed off the initial point, wrong?
For example, when we were talking about how nudism harms, or doesn't harm children, it naturally strayed away to fat Germans, and Polynesians on beaches. Was that "Missing the point?" Because I got trolled for "Missing the point," because I said I actually like "Fat" polynesians. Boo hoo, psiberzerker is missing the point again.
All right then, why am I the only one that seems to have different rules for staying on topic, sticking to the point, and never diverging from it, nor going off on a tangent from a secondary point? Because I can't do that, and you know what? Nobody else does either.
So, what makes me special? Why am I singled out for this, and while we're at it, why am I the "Drama freak" for sharing my day in this thread, when it's THE THREAD for sharing what ruined my day? I brought it here, so that it didn't blow up into a big fight in the Modesty thread where it started, because I got upset.
I guess I'm not supposed to get upset when that's The Point of trolling me in the first place. My point, that you're missing here is that I'm sick of getting Trolled, wherever I go. I'm sick of people getting Woos for trolling me. Maybe there wouldn't be so much "Drama" associated with me, if we could just discuss something like adults, even after I enter the conversation, without being trolled, because Psiberserker is talking again. I guess I don't get to make that point, either.

Even after the point has drifted from how body shaming is harmful to body shaming Germans, and Polynesians on a nude beach. I didn't take it off on that bizarre tangent, and Joan wasn't even there. So, if it's wrong, then why is it only wrong when I do it?
Why is it okay for you to turn this into how I suck, and ruin threads, when that wasn't My Point? I don't get to vent, either? So, why don't we make this clear: 1, I don't get to make points, and 2, i can't complain about it. Any other rules I need to be aware of?

Perhaps you noticed that I did not respond to the accusations you leveled against me yesterday, all of which were unfair and, frankly wrong.
That's because I recognized and accepted the fact that you were venting. I've no problem with that at all, and I'm aware that, at times, venting is both healthy and necessary. The point I made was to one, specific thing you said. It was not a personal attack nor a personal accusation, and it was addressing what you wrote, and not who you are. I strongly (and, now, vocally) support your right to vent on the board.
On top of that, I could make a good case that I am your biggest supporter on KB. If nothing else, I both nominated and voted for you as KB POY.
So, why don't we make this clear: 1, I don't get to make points, and 2, i can't complain about it. Any other rules I need to be aware of?
Yes, two more rules:
1) When you post something on this board, you should expect that other members will respond to it. And this is especially true when something posting arguable or controversial.
2) When people respond to something you wrote in a way that is critical or even condemnatory, it isn't necessarily a personal attack, nor -- and here's the main point -- it is not saying that you cannot make points, you cannot vent, or you cannot express your opinion. Saying someone is wrong, or saying you disagree with someone or what they said, is not denying them their right to say it, nor is it curtailing their freedom of speech.
If Mod had deleted or removed something you said solely because he or she didn't like what you said, that would be objectionable, and I'd fully and loudly join you in speaking out against them. That is decidedly not what happened here.

i wouldn't go that far, but thanks. Again, it was more of a Last Straw thing than a personal attack. I just get that stupid meme response/not response a lot, and eventually, it pisses me off.
Also, it's a bit of a pet peeve when people derail a topic I was having fun discussing seriously, then you turned around, and accused Me of missing the point? The point wasn't body shaming fat Germans, and Polynesian women to make yourself feel better. In fact, it kinda went against the point we're trying to make about "Modesty" and body shaming being harmful.

One of the more difficult aspects of my job is explaining the different between a people (political) problem, and a legal problem.
The problem is that the Law has to deal in Absolutes, and people ain't. Absolutes, we're a miasma of grey areas, trying to boil down complex combinations of emotions into "Truth." And failing, all the time.
So, for an even more obvious example, we have Murder, and Intent. The legal definition of A Felony Murder (A potentially Capital Offense) is whether they intended to kill, with malice aforethought. If Dick Cheney had killed that guy, but then argued that he didn't intend to kill him, on the grounds of being a weapons expert, with a 28 gauge full of bird shot. He has the Affirmative defense that "If I wanted to kill him, I would have used a deer slug."
So, it's Assault with a Deadly Weapon, instead of Attempted Murder. (If he was actually charged.) The legal difference between Execution, Life Imprisonment, or let go without so much as a slap on the wrist. And this is with a case as cut an dried as "Did he kill him? Did he plan to kill him? Did he intend to kill him when he invited him out hunting, and only loaded a 28 gauge with birdshot?"
Then, we get down to "Lesser crimes" like denying a person of education based on subconscious institutional prejudice. Which isn't againts the law, but partially, because it's extremely difficult to Prove, Legally. "I didn't intend to subconsciously deny her because she was a mixed race transgender lesbian, but I got this here bribe to admit this bright young student, with better test scores, and a promising future that looks good on our recruitment poster, and she's a cheerleader!"
Exhibit A is a picture of her smiling in uniform with her boyfriend, and 2 misfits that just don't get it.

One of the more difficult aspects of my job is explaining the different between a people (political) problem, and a legal problem. Not every problem has a legal solution, and not every legal solution will solve a people problem. Sometimes the best solution is to get on your knees and kiss some ass.
Tell the mother to save the legal fees she'd use on you to pay for her daughter's college tuition.
If the schools she's applying for get wind of the lawsuit they aren't going to want to get involved with that family.

A disturbing email.
The sender claimed to have control of my computer's camera and microphone and informed me that he had a video of me "pleasuring" myself while watching a porn site online. I have 48-hours to send $700 to a blind Bitcoin account or that video will be sent to all my contacts.
That's not the disturbing part. My computer has neither a camera nor a microphone connected so that part is a crock.
Two things about the email disturbed me though. One, the sender made a point of revealing the password to that email account... not the current one, but one I've used in the recent past.
The second thing that disturbed me is that it was sent directly to one of my ISP email accounts. I NEVER give out my ISP email addresses to anyone. Not even my family members have them.
The only email addresses I've ever given out are directed to my domain name and go first to my domain registrar, and are then forwarded to my ISP account. The forwarder know the ISP addresses, but not the passwords.
I used to tell people that the internet is becoming a scary place. Now, it just plain IS a scary place. I'd rather get the calls from Microsoft or the IRS. At least those I know how to deal with.

Sounds like a Phisher (I didn't come up with the term.) They use some sort of Store-and-Forward WORM (Write Once, Read Many) to pick up passwords, and the act of changing passwords is probably how he got the old one, in a database. It's all automated, so you most likely got fished by their Bot. (Why it made automatic mistakes, like assuming you had a webcam on your computer.)
It's disturbing, but the facts that it tried extorting money by playing on your feelings of fear, invasion of privacy means that they don't have anything else. Like actual History, or access to your Cache. (The video cache holds buffered data for videos you download, and stream.) I'm not going to say that it's Impossible to turn on your webcam remotely, and use it to spy on you, but it would take a lot of time. Research to find out what Drivers you have, and where they are. Basically Remote Desktop, or time on the actual computer while you're not looking. The kind of thing that can't be done automatically with Scripts. (Too many possibilities, and changing parameters.)
If it would make you feel any better, change all your passwords, clear your cache, and defragment. It's always a good idea to defragment after a purge, because it basically chops up, and scrambles any data that isn't tagged as a file, or folder in your memory. So, it's a lot harder to recover, and put back together remotely.

I typically get one of those a week. There are websites on the dark web that sell passwords obtained by phishing and by database hacks. When you hear that a major retailer had hundreds of thousands of accounts “compromised” that means they downloaded your account numbers, passwords, payment methods, etc.

This is one of the reasons why I don't have a phone, and hardly use my Gmail. I also use Amiga OS (On a gamer laptop with quad-core processor to emulate the architecture.) It's almost impossible to hack, because all the programs are set up for modern OSes. If you can get Ubuntu, or some other Linux based desktop software to run stably, it's a lot more secure than Apple, or Windows for the same reason. They just don't write viral, and similar Malware for it, because it doesn't have a Standard system with Updates to exploit. (With Trojans to emulate the Automatic Updates/Applets system.)

Isn't there some hacking method that can monitor keyboard strokes?
Yeah, it's called a Keystroke WORM, if you want to look it up.
I've ever heard YOUR term. The rest of us call it a keylogger.
Google has 38 hits for "keystroke worm" and 15,300,000 hits for "keylogger". I win. ;D
Usually a keylogger is part of a larger program like a rootkit or malware engine. A keylogger saves all of your keystrokes to a file, and may periodically send it off to a remote site. A rootkit wraps that up with several other tools to give someone complete control over your computer... they can drive it remotely, look under the covers to see where you've been, silently search your computer for passwords, or set triggers when you access certain websites (like your bank). All the encryption in the world won't protect you 'cos it's unencrypted once it leaves the tunnel, or else you'd never be able to read / see it. If you can see it, so can a rootkit. If you type it, a keylogger can monitor it.
I was cleaning what I'd thought was a virus from one lady's computer and found an early form of rootkit with a keylogger. In it's log file I saw her log into her bank, and it had the userid and password in plain text. I immediately deleted the file (even before I was done cleaning) and called her, telling her to go to a friend's computer and change her bank password and anything else important she'd accessed in the last month. Do it now, as I don't know if this has gotten out yet. Luckily we caught it in time, and she was secure once she'd changed her passwords. They didn't beat her to it.
edit: The earliest form of keylogger was one I did back in high school. I attached an analog electromagnetic sensor to a cassette recorder, and hid it behind the teletype we used at school. Voila!, I caught the teacher logging into the school's system to enter grades. I tested it later and it worked... I had his access to the school's grading database. I never misused the information, but I *did* tell him what I'd done when the course was over and I'd passed fairly. I'm sure he had conniption fits trying to figure out whether I'd spoofed the grades.

Which gets back to earlier comments. I doubt it is a keylogger, more likely a database hack. I’ve had three of these in recent months. All quoting a 15 year old password I haven’t used in ages. Ignore these emails. Just hit delete. They aren’t going to do a damn thing, unless you respond. Then it’s blood in the water. All bets are off.

The curious part is the fraudster using an email address that he rarely (if ever) uses. If he never gave that email out then it wouldn't be in a compromised database somewhere else, which is why I suspected a rootkit. The first thing they do is dump your address book over the 'net, then start drilling down to look for passwords and stored logins.
Edit: after a pretty thorough set of checks, looks like he's clean. Likely just an old, compromised database that still had that e-mail in it.

Texas
> Worst city to live: Lubbock > Population: 249,051 > Median home value: $126,900 > Poverty rate: 22.4% > Adults with at least a bachelor’s degree: 26.8%
The typical household in Lubbock, Texas earns only $45,551 a year, about $10,000 less than the median income across the state. The city’s poverty rate underscores the prevalence of financial hardship in Lubbock. Some 22.4% of people in the city live in poverty, well above the 15.9% statewide poverty rate and 14.7% nationwide poverty rate.
Like many cities on this list, Lubbock is not an especially safe place. With 967 violent crimes in 2015 for every 100,000 area residents, violent crime is more than twice as common in Lubbock as it is across both Texas and the nation as a whole.

It's got to be a lot less messy than throwing an octopus on the ice, too.
Al Sobotka begs to differ. They're not messy at all. Much easier than picking up other things. Al was the manager at Joe Loius Arena (JLA), home of The Red Wings, for many years. He picked up most of them and would swing them above his head as he left the ice, firing up the crowd.
Al is a local celebrity. I met him once while working at the Detroit Auto Show. Super nice man.
I assume most people know why we Wings Fans throw the octopus on the ice. If not, it started in the 1950's when, in the playoffs it took 8 wins to win the Stanley Cup.
The final game at the JLA a couple of years ago, there were 35 octopus thrown on the ice, the most ever in JLA history. PETA was there that night protesting and encouraging the Red Wing organization to fine Octopus tossers $5000 and ejection from the event.

From what I read in the above link, there is a lot of disagreement about the 'proper' pluralization of octopus. I think I'll go with the OED preferred 'octopuses'.
Quote
Etymology and pluralisation
The scientific Latin term octopus was derived from Ancient Greek ὀκτώπους, a compound form of ὀκτώ (oktō, "eight") and πούς (pous, "foot"), itself a variant form of ὀκτάπους, a word used for example by Alexander of Tralles (c. 525–605) for the common octopus.[3][4][5] The standard pluralised form of "octopus" in English is "octopuses";[6] the Ancient Greek plural ὀκτώποδες, "octopodes" (/ɒkˈtɒpədiːz/), has also been used historically.[7] The alternative plural "octopi" – which wrongly assumes it is a Latin second declension "-us" noun or adjective when, in either Greek or Latin, it is a third declension one – is considered grammatically incorrect,[8][9][10][11] but is used frequently enough to be acknowledged by the descriptivist Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate Dictionary and Webster's New World College Dictionary. The Oxford English Dictionary lists "octopuses", "octopi", and "octopodes", in that order, reflecting frequency of use, calling "octopodes" rare and noting that "octopi" is based on a misunderstanding.[12] The New Oxford American Dictionary (3rd Edition, 2010) lists "octopuses" as the only acceptable pluralisation, and indicates that "octopodes" is still occasionally used, but that "octopi" is incorrect.[13]

Then again, and since I typically refer to them in the context of food, and then usually in a restaurant, and while sometimes that might be a Greek or Japanese restaurant, but far more often it would be a restaurant where the culture speaks Spanish (this has become a very long sentence), I call it pulpo, or perhaps:

Youngest son is having a kidney event, waiting for an emergency scan appointment as I type.
At the same time, my wife fainted whilst having a routine mammogram. First faint in her life, so now waiting for blood test results.
We were supposed to be heading North to visit our families tomorrow - I rang to cancel, and found out my dad has a debilitating infection in his leg, making caring for my housebound mother rather awkward. There are no other family members physically capable of helping out (after me, my dad is the youngest, physically-fittest person in the family!).
So, I'll probably be offline for a few days while I try to be at both ends of the country at once...

Before my first child was born I made a vow to never fall back on "Because I said so" as an answer.
So, whenever the kiddos wanted something that wasn't going to happen I told them that I'd consulted the Parent Handbook and the answer was no. Sorry about that, but my hands are tied. ;)
In this case, the Parent Handbook could say that with X number of people in the house, no more than X number of pets are allowed.
Good luck, and stick to your guns. Kids need to hear "no" sometimes.

PS: When my first granddaughter was two, my daughter called and asked if I could send her a copy of the Parent Handbook.

I just finished slicing and dicing it into 40 pound pieces and moving it to be picked up. I think I moved around 3,000 pounds worth of tree today. My back isn't happy about that.

S'mores at RF's house all summer long!!!
I love the Sawzall. I never knew what it was. I called my daddy a couple of summers ago and asked him to bring over his chainsaw. He told me that Joe had a sawzall in the garage and to get the battery charged, he'd show me how to use it. THAT THING IS BAD-*SS. I use it all the time now. One of my xmas gifts I asked for was new blades. Mark told the guys at work I wanted tools for xmas, I've got serious street cred at Chrysler HQ now.
Mark hasn't passed his kidney stone yet. But, the pain has been non-existent for 24 hours. Seems it has moved from the kidney to the bladder. The worst is over, we hope.

For sinusitis aggravated by allergic rhinitis (or severe congestion), 12 to 50mg Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 50-60mg Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 600-1200mg Guaifenesin
12mg is a kid's dose of Benadryl, and most adults can tolerate it without sleepiness. It counters the root of allergic rhinitis, blocking the histamine reaction. I take 50mg before bed so my lungs don't fill with crap overnight. Sudafed is good for drying the sinuses and nasal areas. Most people can tolerate it. Guaifenesin loosens or thins the mucus so it's easier for it to pass.
I give a weaker version of the above to people that are somewhat new to Dallas and have had >90% success rate in clearing their symptoms within an hour or two, 12mg Benadryl 30-40mg Sudafed 300-600mg Guaifenesin
You can find Sudafed + Guaifenesin in a combo drug like Mucinex D (or cheaper store brands), and then just add a kid's Benadryl.
Some of the people I gave the weaker dose to said it was magic... their doctor hadn't suggested anything that worked even half as well. Sudafed alone to relieve the congestion doesn't address the root (rhinitis) of the problem, so it'll come right back.
In Phoenix I only had seasonal allergies, but here it's every damned day. I tried every OTC and prescription antihistamine when I first moved here, and Benadryl was the only thing that worked long-term. Everything else lost it's effect after a month or two.

Thanks Katie, MissB, RF. I have to try something. I’m not entirely sure it’s not a cold. I’ve been so darn busy with a wedding coming up while trying not to miss work, otherwise I’d have gone to the doctor already. At least I’m sleeping OK, but then a few fingers of Four Roses bourbon at night might be helping with that. That, and cuddling up with a hot Peruvian girl. I pick her up at her sister’s in a little while. We’re on episode 6 season 5 of GoT, so maybe a few more episodes tonight. I’m caught up on it all, but it’s her first run through. She loves it, except I do a lot of explaining while we watch.

Just so tired, I could sleep at my desk at work right now.
Home renovations going on and preparing for the wedding. Painters have been at the house the last 4 weekends beginning at 7AM Saturday and Sunday. They haven’t just been painting, closets were remodeled including framing and drywall work and the main bathroom completely renovated.
I take my Peruvian home a couple times a week, which involves getting up at 4:30AM. We rarely get to sleep before midnight with so much going on. She’s off Tuesdays and Thursdays so sleeps in those days, but not me. I haven’t got a full 8 hours sleep in over a month. Last night I may have got 3.5 hours sleep. At least the horrendous congestion I had has been gone for the last week.
Next week is the honeymoon, so I probably won’t let her out of bed before 2PM. I figure we’ll be in bed by 10PM, so that’s 16 hours in bed. OK, maybe I only need 8 hours sleep, but I’m sure I can figure out something to do with the rest of that time. And, I have handcuffs.

Good leathers won't stop everything, but they help a lot. My youngest brother lost about a half pound of his left ass cheek 'cos he was in too much of a hurry to put his leathers on.

I was looking forward to it. But we're not spending $40 a ticket ($160 for the four of us) and driving 5 hours round trip (it's near Cleveland) with the chance of the day being a dud.

Tickle in my throat this morning, to a sore throat right now. I don't want to be sick. I know it's because I didn't drink enough water the last 2 days. I just know it. 60 ounces a day, Jules. 60 ounces day. It's my own fault.

Having a new water pump installed on my car. Finding out that the engineers of {nameless car company} in their infinite wisdom designed things so half the engine had to be taken apart to replace the damn thing.
So, $860 later I have a brand new $50 water pump, along with a new timing belt and a dozen or so new gaskets and seals (at about $20 a pop). The good news is that they said it would take a week, and I got it back after 3 days.
When I was in high school I replaced a water pump on my straight-8 Buick using 1 wrench and it took less than an hour.

Subway is one of my favorite eat to go places. I had it yesterday in fact. Fresh Fit 6 in, Turkey, Pepperjack, light lettuce along with my favorite fixings, no dressing, but quacamole to make it not seem so dry.
I used to work with daddy on cars. He used to tinker with cars from before I was born. When something happened with his 1989 Eldorado (I think), it went to the shop. I asked why we didn't fix it. He said it was impossible to work on most new cars and that's why he still loved the older ones. And then I married a car guy. Where daddy specialized under the hood, Dan is all about making it look spectacular. I think my car looks better today than the day it rolled off the dealers lot.

Be careful with that... their 'recommended dosage' is uncomfortably close to the adult toxic limit for acetaminophen. They say max 10 capsules per 24 hours: 3,250 mg acetaminophen. At 4,000mg per 24 you can start to get liver damage. There are other combo drugs that contain phenylephrine and guaifenesin without the Tylenol... you might ask your pharmacist for other suggestions. I don't buy anything with acetaminophen except for hydrocodone 'cos acetaminophen doesn't do anything but reduce fever, and you can't get hydrocodone without acetaminophen. Codeine derivatives have a really wide therapeutic range, but Tylenol doesn't.

Lots of protein! I like to "Spit," because once you swallow it, it's gone. I like facials, and body shots, because then I get to play with it! However, a little goes a long way, because the aftertaste is unmistakeable (One of the challenges as a writer is the 5 senses description. Especially describing tastes, and smells that can't be compared with anything. That's why we have horrible descriptions like "Fishy.") and lingers in your mouth a long time.
It's also my favorite lube.

I never knew that, thanks for sharing that info.
I had to have surgery back in February. They gave me a big-ass shot of morphine when I was in the ER, and it worked very quickly, and I felt amazing, almost euphoric. When they rolled me into the OR, I was like, "Bring it on!"
When I was recovering, they gave me one of those morphine pump things where you push the button when you need it. I did it once, just to see what it felt like, but my "pain" never got beyond the discomfort stage, and I wanted to avoid it. So they gave me some pills which the nurse said was "Tylenol with Codeine."
If Tylenol is as dangerous as you outline, why would a hospital administer it?

Right, but frequent large doses don't just increase the odds, but also how much damage your organs (Incuding the Liver) can take. Chronic use can cause Chronic deterioration, failure, and Death.
It also says "May cause Cancer" on some cigarette packs, but we're not talking about "Take 2 asprin, and call me in the morning." We have to be careful about chronic high doses of NSAIDs.

Hospitals won't give you a dangerous dose, but I'm fucked if I know why they use it at all. Many people get little-to-no pain relief from Tylenol; I'm one of 'em. It reduces a fever just fine, but that's all it does for me. I've asked nurses before and gotten non-answers, so there's something they're not saying, like "it works by placebo effect, mostly".
I can't get the whole article from MedScape, but here's a quote: "Acetaminophen toxicity is primary cause of drug overdose related–liver failure in the United States."
Again, that's at higher levels than a hospital would ever prescribe, over 4,000mg per day.
Here's an article from Harvard Medical School - in plain English, not medical-ese: https://www.health.harvard.edu/pain/acetaminophen-safety-be-cautious-but-not-afraid

Pretty much the same, as it still has 325mg Tylenol. Don't take more than 10 pills per day. You might think about adding 600 to 800mg of guaifenesin to make the mucus more fluid, if that's a problem. You can get it in that dosage (generic, OTC) from most pharmacies. When my sinuses are packed up, I take 1200mg horse-pill caplets of guaifenesin from Walgreens (Mucus Relief ER).

Kids get fevers (and higher fevers) more often than adults do, so there's a reasonable use for it. You don't need a high dose to reduce a fever, so their livers aren't at risk. However, I'd recommend NOT giving them Tylenol unless the doctor recommends it. Sometimes a fever is a GOOD thing.
I had a lung infection picked up on a flight back from Fiji ~10 years ago. It PUT ME DOWN for a solid month. During the course I was coughing so hard and frequently that the doc prescribed morphine cough syrup. It helped a little, but I still tore muscle tissue in the chest and abdomen from the extended coughing. After about a month I was scheduled for a weekly check-in with the doctor and felt fine, no major congestion. I told the doc that the bug must be gone 'cos I felt great. He said it wasn't over yet, and that I was running a 108F / 42C fever, and to monitor it frequently to make sure it didn't go much higher. I asked about Tylenol and he said it was better to let the fever run, as it'd help kill the bug. 3 days later the fever broke, and I was clear.

Dealing with a realtor.
We might buy another property dirt cheap that's been for sale for nearly 10 years and they're desperate to get rid of it. So desperate they're trying to make monthly payments for it at $528. The reason no one has bought it is because it's a small building that used to be the office of a cab business. It's surrounded by houses and no one cares to live in what used to be an office. But it has potential and my mom is interested in getting it if only for the property.
Fucking guy acted like a used car salesman. Even my new baby could tell he was full of shit. ;D
But a little girl who was playing next door stopped to talk to me and admire the new kid. So that was nice. :D Her mom was right there watching, as she should be.

Thank you for that mental image. Do you know how much money we could raise by auctioning off the privilege of administering that?
I can see the bidders lining up now. :emot_updwn:

Great, for some reason, I thought Wheelchair Wifey was oriental for some reason. (Maybe she said Waifu at some point? IDK.) Now, I have to adjust my mental image to an Occidental blonde.
No, it's not enough to ruin my day, but it spoils my imaginary menage management a little.

I'm sorry I used an offensive word. No offense intended.
Everyone knows that Psi. I don’t think anyone was offended.
Once out with a Korean coworker playing pool, some guy called him a chink. I told the guy if he wanted to be racist, at least get it right, chinks would be Chinese, since he’s Korean, call him a gook. The guy just looked at me weird, and walked away.

I call her Asian and she reminds me Japanese people are the "superior and only real Asians".
So take that up with her, not me. As far as she's concerned the word "oriental" would imply they're all the same. She's unapologetic about it. Her parents were very racist even towards other "Asians". I once heard her father call Koreans "foul creatures".
What can ya do?:emot_shrug:
She calls me white girl all the time. But she's gotten better about it. Her father was way worse than her mother was, and he's gone now.

Well, the way I use Oriental, I mean more specifically than "Asian." Asia is Huge, the "Far East" is Eurocentric (And wrong, since the Far East is West of America) but the Orient is South-East of the Himalayas. If I know the specific culture, I say that, but I just found out that the one in the wheelchair was Blonde!
"Oriental" is more specific than "Asian," because it exclude far flung ends of Asia like Turkey, and Siberia. In other words, not all Asians are alike, a Cossack isn't Tajiik, and Singapore isn't Japan.
Koreans have an even lesser view of the Japanese. Must be that whole subjugating them for a decade in the last century thing.
South Koreans? (IDK how North Koreans feel about Kimchi, because I don't get to hear much from them any more.) I thought it was the whole fighting China over the peninsula with Japan, because America forced them to trade with US, and England got China addicted to Kashmiri Opium to force them to trade tea?
Let's be honest, we all know who the bad guys are here.

Since kimchi is Korean and on every South Korean table at meal time and cabbage is cheap, I would guess the North Koreans eat it too. At least until Trump’s buddy there causes the next famine.

It’s strange, but I haven’t shown my scar to anyone, other than my wife. I spent several days hovering near death and flatlined twice. I saw and experienced things that I can’t even accurately describe, much less comprehend, but it changed me very much. I’m much quieter now, more introspective, more philosophical. I don’t know it all, I appreciate I’m pretty insignificant, and that life will go on after I’m gone with no more than a 5 second pause. We are all hurling headlong towards an unavoidable conclusion, so there’s no sense in being too upset about anything.

My favorite is: “We all suffer from a chronic incurable disease called life.”
I had a nice long conversation over lunch with my son yesterday. We talked about that sad group of people who make their disease their identity. You meet them for the first time, and within five minutes, you know their medical history. Everybody has something. Even my ex, who for years bragged about her “perfect health,” now has a thyroid problem. The secret in life is to find happiness and fulfillment in spite of what life throws at you. We have so little time. Don’t squander it.

Pretty much any Single Issue Wonk. Only really has one subject they can talk about, my little sister went through that. The only conversation she could have was about TGIF (The Friday lineup of shows on some station'rother.) Or sports, or "I'm Bisexual!"
Yes, we know. My nephew knew he wanted to be a Herpetologist when he outgrew the Dinosaur book he got when he was 7. He's like 15 now, and he can also talk about girls.
My point is, it's kinda nice, knowing that guy, who knows so much about cars, when you can't tell which belt is making that noise when you break hard, because you're driving, with the hood down.
Doesn't mean you want to hang out with him, all the time. Chronic diseases are complicated, involved and tend to dominate your life. (I have Fibro, but if you ask me, I'm a Science Fiction writer.) I don't really resent people who focus on it so much.

Yesterday, but the power was out and posting via phone is EXCRUCIATING. Luckily my power came back overnight. As of 4PM today, some of the folks at work still didn't have power at home. Looking at the Oncor outage map (http://stormcenter.oncor.com/external/default.html), there are still areas of the Metroplex without power, but it's better than it was this morning.
The storm yesterday just tore shit out of Dallas, with trees and big limbs felled everywhere and power lines downed. I could see dark areas of town this morning on the drive in to work.
Another of my trees broke off about 4' above ground level, and luckily stopped falling before it smashed one of my cars flat. I've just finished cleaning most of that up. Of the remaining 2 trees, one is leaning a little, and it looks like it's cracked at ground level. I'll have to have it removed Real Soon Now or it'll smash my other car.
On the bright side, I wasn't underneath the CRANE that came down in Old East Dallas, injuring several people and killing one.

Yeah, one of the Pecan trees dropped a massive limb, and the stump was pointed right at one of the windows. It actually scraped the siding, so if it had been just a little closer, I would have been replacing the pane, instead of just hacking it up with the sawzall.
I guess what I'm saying is it could have been worse, but close call!

Save the wood of course, great for smoking meats.
I did a leg of lamb Sunday, used hickory. It was a nice medium all the way through when I was done. Served it with the traditional mint jelly. I made tabouleh as a side also with fresh mint I grew, lots of parsley, some basil and just a hint of cilantro plus cucumber, tomato, lettuce and green onion.
My Peruvian never had tabouleh before and loved it. She told me only one small piece of lamb, but then ate 4 slices. She’s not sold on the mint jelly yet, but then as a boy I didn’t like that either. It was only when I got older did it make sense to me.
I got orders to make the tabouleh again this week. She said it reminded her of a quinoa salad common in Peru.

After I saw his comment, I asked him why he did that. And we had a little discussion on it with us getting a little upset with each other. The part that really ruined my day is he made the comment that he was done with coming to KB then. Great. And afterward, I apologized to him, because his comment is actually accurate.

Okay, so you may have noticed my color changed in the "who's online" section. I've already had one person ask me about it and I answered truthfully. Before the rumors start and this person hears it from him, and he tells someone else, and there is a bunch of speculation, I'll make it clear to everyone.

The reasoning? Read the very first line of this post. It's a principal thing. And I don't judge or look down on any part of the management team for allowing that content on the board. I love and admire Lois. I got to know her quite well and would do anything for her. She's a special lady and I'm so happy she has come into my life. And the same with her team. I'll miss working with them, but I can still interact with them. I love them all, also.
My last official act as a moderator was removing my name from this post (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=2326.msg16640#msg16640), and I did it with tears in my eyes.
I'm not leaving, I'm a regular member now. As I told someone I care for very much, I need this place. I've made friends here. My world is small. Communication is something I don't have with many in my real life. It's hard to make new friends. I have my close circle, but that circle is hard to grow. Here it can. So, you're stuck with me.

I also refer to my niece, who I actually adopted and she is legally my daughter, as 'my niece'. From now on I will refer to her as 'my daughter' because I adopted her shortly after my sister passed away a few years ago.
That is all. :)

DIY flexible cold pack:
1 heavy-duty "freezer" Ziplock bag 4 parts water 1 part isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol
Toss it in the freezer, and it won't freeze into a brick. You can adjust the water/IPA ratio to make it more or less flexible: more IPA = more flexible. It conforms better to irregular surfaces like joints, and transfers heat more quickly. I always have 4 or 5 of 'em in the freezer. It's cold as ice, so don't put it directly on the skin; use a thin towel like a dish towel to protect the skin.
edit: I generally make mine at a 6:1 water:IPA ratio; it's about like a thick slushy.

Sorry to hear Lois and Remmy. It's always sad, even if it is just someone you've met in passing.
We went to a party yesterday and some friends were there. They informed us they are moving to Nashville. They're just sick of the Michigan winters. The kids are out of school. They just want a change. The both work online, so it's not a change of employment. So that's sad. BUT, we now have a place to stay if we're ever in the Nashville area.

Long talk with my daughters dad and his wife. They want to take her on their camping trip in a couple weeks in time for the 4th. Their kid is "miserable" without big sister Kimmy.
I want Kimmy home too. I don't really want you taking her away from me again so soon. :roll:
I told them I'd let her decide. If she wants to go, she's welcome to go. But if not, then... not.
I have a rather comprehensive possession order, as do most states.
My ex constantly wants to renegotiate possession and visitation. I finally told her, “look, this is why we have an order. No ambiguities. No uncertainty. No last minute changes. If you can’t live with the order, then move to modify. Otherwise we will see you on 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends.” She still has her flare ups, but for the most part, has been compliant.

I am so happy that we don't have that problem with the girls. The oldest is 21 and gets to decide herself. Mom & Dad pretty much leave it up to the little one. She leans more towards mom though, because her mom is lonely. Well, mom says she is lonely. Mom plays on her feelings if you ask me.

We don't have any legal arrangement. We just agree to share now. It's her decision whether or not to do something with them, not either of ours.
They get this is her home and shuffling her around is wrong. But like her dads wife said "We're as in love with her as you are".

Well I hate to see the kids feel they have responsibility in the decision making process or the parents hurt feelings. My ex threatened to commit suicide, and my youngest said, “Look dad, you know I want to live with you, but I think she’s going to do something crazy. Give me one year. I promise I will come back.” One year turned into three, but he did come back.
The other issue, from a legal standpoint, is what do you do when they get on a plane with your child and disappear? The Uniform Child Custody Act is valid and enforceable in all 50 states, but you need an order.

Only got a few blocks and I had to admit to wife I was seeing double. Not a condition you want to drive with. It's happened to me before. Optic Nerve Palsy...causes one eye to go askew, causing the double images. Went home and surprised the cats. They know what it means when I carry out the suitcase.

At least you have hair. And my Peruvian banished facial hair. Bald on top with all grey hair on the sides is not a great look for me, so I close crop it.
My eyes aren’t too bad, just need reading glasses for fine print.
Reminds me, I need to reapply for a passport to go to Peru next year to meet her dad. My last passport expired in 2009. Since it was from 1999, I probably looked young in it. And it had a Peru stamp.

My Peruvian told me yesterday she was driving on the Interstate at 85 mph. I asked why was she driving unsafely way over the speed limit. She replied, ‘I was running out of gas, and wanted to make it home.’
I explained that she was probably burning the gas faster that way then asked why she didn’t just stop for gas. It seems she didn’t know about the lever under the dash to open it.
You know those newfangled gas cans with the no spill spigots? Well, I spilled gas all over the fucking place using the new can I bought and ready to toss it in the trash. Except, you can’t find the normal ones any more (that I never had problems with spills before). These new ones spill gas no matter what I do?
Meanwhile, I need more gas for my lawn tractor. Gotta replace the bent blade on it first. I tried once doing that, hours of cussing later I took it to someone who did it for $25. Won’t be doing that myself ever again.

I like the milsurp Jerry cans, and a funnel. Honestly, the tube spout is just a bad design. (IMNSHO) You have to perform Selective Compliance on a vertical hole, with gallons of fossil fuels sloshing around on the other end of the nozzle. No lock coupling, just a human being, who's used to doing this at the gas station with teens of feet of spring loaded hose, the pump bolted to the ground behind them, and a re-fueling bay with a meter on the front of it.
Then again, I was taught Hydraulic Fluid Power Systems by the Army. That hydraulic fluid? Yeah, 5 gallon jugs, or 40 gallon oil drums with hand pumps. Just to top off the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir.
And a gooseneck funnel. Quite possibly a Driver's Ed graduate civilian that can't change a tyre, because they can't figure out the Jack/Points. I just kinda have to troubleshoot the potential points of failure, and remember all the people I've seen going down the highway with their gas cap hanging from the lanyard. I've seen one with the fuel door closed, and the fill-cap hanging from the bottom edge of the access panel.
You can't make anything fool-proof, they'll just come out with a more advanced fool.

Good point, but no one here will stab you for crack money.
So, you're staying, or going? Sounds like you have some options to consider. If it's any help, there's not crazies on every corner, there are nice places in, and around the Metroplex. I really liked Staten Island, it's pretty much Suburban America, but it is pretty expensive. (Compared to heartland, it's not that bad compared to say the Bay Area of California, or Seattle.)

My sister and her wifey are ready to start their careers, and for some unknown fucking reason they decided to start with the big city. They promised to try and keep their goals local to stay with the family. Now they want to leave us and head off to New York and take their daughter with them, of course.
I can't do anything to stop them, they're adults. They could take their kid and leave right now if they wanted to and I'd have no say. What I do have say in is that they are still broke and I don't have to help them afford to go. Maybe if they stay here, get some money saved up, they could go. But right now they'd still be financially dependent on us to survive. I can just refuse to give them anything. Come to think of it, I don't HAVE to give them anything anyway. They're adults. I have enough children to take care of as it is. It costs a small fortune just to feed them every week.
:roll:
I think I've decided to cut off my donations to their standard of living. Move to New York and take Lizzie away from us on someone else's dime. Ask your mother, she's a lawyer. Or ask my mom. Have your wife ask her family to donate. You don't need my help anymore. My kids are my priority from now on.

As someone who cooks, the Ingredients have a bigger impact on the finished product, but having the proper tools makes it a little easier. I use forks, and chopsticks for like 80% of everything. (Comes from being homelss, and not having a kitchen, much less an assortment of whisks, and spatulae.)
You can beat egg whites to a stiff peak with a fork, you just have to add a pinch of elbow grease. Now, I hate cleaning out whisks, blenders, and food processors, when I could have just pureed it with a knife, and wiped down the cutting board while I waited for it to caramelize in the sautee.

In graduate school when I was broke, having hamburger helper was a treat.
Upon consideration, when I feel the need for a new gas can in the future I just might go with a metal expensive one as posted. They look rugged and reliable. However, I just took out a home equity loan to pay for a wedding and some home remodeling (new wife just told me the new vanity installed in the bathroom this morning is leaking, so had to get the plumbers to go back), AND I just bought her a new car. So, I think I’m going to scavenge in my garage and see if some of my old style simple spouts on my old 1 gallon plastic gas cans fit on my newer 5 gallon plastic cans and toss those shitty newfangled spouts in the trash where they belong and never buy another like that again. I may even rant on the websites of the makers of those things.

I have 15 years in Scouting. My son recently completed his Eagle rank. But I have to say I am very disappointed, for the most part, with the shit demonstrated by so-called Scout leaders and parent volunteers. The organization professes high idealism and egalitarian principles. Truth is, is just a glorified version of 5th grade. The adults act 100 times more immature than the kids. And the competitiveness and desire to rig the system to earn their kids higher accolades? I really came close to throat punching a few of them on occasions.

Another leader stepped in to try and sort it out, but, while they admit that "maybe they shouldn't have upset Mrs Boast", and "maybe I shouldn't have sworn at IB", they then said they don't see a need to apologise for anything...

I certainly have no room to judge, having never been a parent, but the ones that piss me off are the ones that push their children, and try to make obedient automata out of them. Whether it's sports, modeling (The Toddlers and Tiaras moms are fucking nightmares, but I can't even watch those commercials without getting panic attacks) art/music/dance, the military, Jesus, scouting, or whatever. Okay, if the child has a genuine interest, but I know at some point it becomes mind control, or attempted brainwashing, and I've had to pick up the pieces after that, too.

But these are the same parents constantly fucking things up for everyone else by demanding equal playing time and trophies for their progeny. Going to the schoolhouse to argue for better grades with the teacher. My straight A son did not make it to the honors banquet two years in a row, because a couple of counselors in the home office were packing the event with their own children and the children of their friends, all of whom had lower grades.

As far as Hamburger Helper is concerned it’s one of those trigger foods from my worst years as a child. Mother put this on the table, and/or Tuna Helper, a few times a week. She gave her trust fund money to televangelists, and fed her children shit. So no, I don’t eat this.

I have a thing about liking casseroles, or any dish that has you raiding the fridge and pantry and concocting something delicious out of next to nothing. It’s how most really good recipes start.
As I mentioned, in grad school when I was both broke and didn’t know how to cook yet, I ate a bunch of both hamburger helper and tuna helper. It was better than most of what I ate at the time. Unlike toe, it has nothing but fond memories for me. That said, I haven’t bought a box of that stuff in over 30 years, but there’s always a box or two of macaroni in my pantry that just might upon occasion be combined with meat or tuna and various other things I find in my kitchen or garden.
Planning a puttanesca for Friday, but probably will use some angel hair pasta for that. Puttanesca evolved just like I described, Italians using bits and pieces of leftovers to make a sauce.

I took the Hamburger Helper comment to be directed towards my remarks that an $89 gas can holds the same amount of fuel as a $10 plastic one. Athos and I made nice in a PM, so there was no need to stir the pot.
As far as Hamburger Helper is concerned it’s one of those trigger foods from my worst years as a child. Mother put this on the table, and/or Tuna Helper, a few times a week. She gave her trust fund money to televangelists, and fed her children shit. So no, I don’t eat this.

I make hash Jed. I’m not against frugality and repurposing. My Depression Era grandmothers insisted upon it. I just have bad memories associated with this particular product. My mother served only the following, on nights we didn’t eat at the church: Hamburger Helper, Tuna Helper, Banquet frozen fried chicken, or tuna fish sandwiches with popcorn. I weighed 125 lbs. when I left home. I was 6’ 1” tall.
I should thank her. I have always made delicious from scratch meals for my children. I make my own pasta. I bake my own bread. There are always good smells coming from my kitchen. And my children have never gone to bed hungry.

When I have a kitchen, I like to Stock it with, well let's call it Mise en Place. I guess it's from working as a prep-cook for food, when I didn't have a kitchen, but whatever I prepare, I have something in mind for all the stuff that would be food-waste (Or composted.) For example, I stuff my turkeys with mirepoix, so the drippings are basically a flavored Turkey Stock. Just drain the vegitables, you can even reduce, and skim it down to an Aspic, with the veggies you used to stuff the cavity. Or, just use it to make Black Friday Turkey pot-pie.
Believe it, or not, I learned a lot from Dave Thomas when I worked at Wendy's. His secret is in the chili, the way they can get burgers out, hot fresh, and made to order without freezing them, nor sitting under-heat lamps as par is you keep burgers on the grill, open-to-close. Instead of throwing out the burgers that get over-seared, at the end of the shift, those get chopped up, and made into the signature Chili.
That's why they sell chili.

I had a far better childhood with much fonder food memories. My grandfather in particular had me develop a taste for many things. Unfortunately it never occurred to my grandmother to teach a boy to cook, had to figure that out largely on my own.
I also don’t doubt you would do anything for your children.

I don’t get all fanatical about beans. If you want them, fine. It isn’t a hanging offense where I come from, but be careful, I know some Texans who would pistol whip you for less.
I’m with you on the fatty pork. Shoulder or butt. Throw in a piece of fatback. The best chili is when you take all your left over meats, beef, pork, venison, and soak overnight in a marinade, then sauté before you put everything in a big pot, and simmer all day with your spices vegetables and chili seasoning.
I’m still making vichyssoise tonight.

We went to her sister’s house 25 minutes away last evening with her driving her new car to learn the way. I asked ‘highway or backroads’ and was told backroads. For now on the answer will be highway and stay in the right lane where there’s 10 feet of right hand shoulder.
She makes the same mistake my other wife did, positions her body in the middle of the lane not the car. It must be fear of the oncoming traffic, but they passed us 6-8 feet away. Meanwhile I’m in the passenger seat watching her side mirror missing mailboxes by inches. I tried to politely give her some constructive criticism, but she wouldn’t believe me. At one point she slipped off the road in a rut and had to fight the car back on the road.
The one positive was this nonbeliever is now embracing her Catholicism. As the mailboxes were whizzing by potentially decapitating me, I began crossing myself and whispering prayers.
I drove home.

One thing I love about Texas (One of the few) is that even the county roads have a paved shoulder, that's practically a 4th lane (On both sides) and people pull over to let you pass. On the right, on 2 lane highways (Which are more like 4 lanes.) It's just polite, and rather weirdly polite, for the Texas attitude, and the way people drive, pulling immelmanns on the spaghetti interchanges. I hate driving in Tecas, but back when I was traveling by bike/trailer on a recumbent, I basically had a full width bike-lane from city-to-city.
They don't have that in Portland.

Marvel offered Sony the rights to “nearly every Marvel character [not owned by Fox] — including Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Black Panther and more — for $25 million” in 1999. Sony only bought the rights to Spider-Man and its related characters. In 2009, The Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel Entertainment for $4.24 billion. In February 2015, Disney, Marvel Studios and Sony announced a deal to share the Spider-Man film rights, leading to a new iteration of Spider-Man being introduced and integrated into the MCU.

Part of this whole clusterfuck has been that "And related properties," because you have villains especially, that cross-over between different covers within Marvel. For example: Namor the Sub-Mariner. Is he a Fantastic 4 Villain, or an X-men Villain? Avengers? He's duked it out with pretty much everyone (But there's also some similarities to Aquaman, to work around now.) A lot of projects got changed-to-scrapped in civil court over squabbling about who has the rights to use Namor. Among others, many many others.
Honestly, that Marvel fire-sale caused so much trouble for everyone involved. That's not even counting characters like Valkyrie, who was originally Angela, and a Dark Horse character, because Marvel had the rights, then didn't use them until Gaiman, and McFarlane jumped ship to form Dark Horse for more publishing freedom.

So we've all heard the stories...and old person falls and breaks a hip. Someone's aunt, granny or aging parent. Seems a common injury for old people.
Well we've joined the club :facepalm: Early Sunday afternoon wife said she was taking some doll clothes across the street to the kid there ( as she can't do much due to bad back, she cranks out scores of American Girl Doll clothes for neighbor kids) She grabbed her cane and out she went.
I kept working on the crossword when the door bell rang a few minutes later. There was the neighbor who said, "M...... fell." I got her four wheel walker she uses for longer walks and off across the street we went. She was laying on her side on their back patio. They put down a yoga mat. She was laughing and joking...in good spirits. It's very hard for her to get back up and need something sturdy to push up on with her arms. As we were discussing how and what to do, it was soon obvious this needed expert help and I called 911. Paramedics were there in minutes and after checking her over and giving pain killer, rolled her onto a stretcher and lifted her up to the gurney. Off to the hospital they went. I followed in the car.
The ER was very busy and there were people with hearts stopping and not breathing that got first attention. They were not stingy with the pain killers 'tho. After a while a Doctor walked in and said broken hip. He could tell by the way her foot was laying on the bed. X-rays was torture...had to move her legs around a lot to get the angles they wanted. Ahhhhhhh more pain meds!
Ortho guy finally showed up and said they'd be doing a partial hip replacement the next day (Monday) Then it was a while yet to get her a room upstairs. I finally went home after ten pm when she was settled.
Surgery wasn't scheduled until late yesterday afternoon. At her age(80) they wanted to do a lot of medical tests before slicing away on her. Lots of blood test, ultra sounds all over, etc. Finally about 4:30 they rolled her into the OR. Surgery took about two hours. It was almost Nine PM before she was back in her room...still groggy, but she was doing better by the time I left.
This morning she called and said made it through the night with no pain meds. They'll be getting her on her feet this afternoon. No doubt she'll be in rehab for a couple weeks too.
That's my tale. Remember...when you get old like us, be careful...be very careful!

I'm happy to hear surgery went well and she's in good spirits.
At that age it's a slow heal. I hope she's feeling okay and the pain and physical therapy goes well in the weeks & months to come.
Sad news to hear. :(

I went through that with wife #1. Broke her hip and didn’t even know, thought the pain was related to back issues she multiple surgeries for. Once the hip was replaced, she dislocated it 3 times before they went back in to do a hip revision. My wife’s issues were complicated by a number of things, here’s hoping yours goes quickly and flawlessly with a speedy recovery.

Oh, so true. It's also dirty, smelly, shameful, and a lot of other stuff we probably don't need to get into. Especially a public restroom down by the hotel bar, because in that case, there's no telling who's been in there, any more than who might come in, and possibly get the wrong idea.
It's up to Toe how much the pressure is worth, weighed against all the thoughts associated with whacking off in a restroom like a teenage virgin. It might help, it might not, but I feel for him too. FWIW.

It goes back way farther than that, and originally did have 1 purpose: Disenfectant. Alchohol kills bugs, in questionable water sources. Now, we have distilation, and filtration of water (And Vodka) so it's not really a relevant issue in the first world any more, but back in the day drinking wine was very weak, and also partly vinegar.

Chirp, one thing I truly believe based on your posts is that you’re a good mom regardless of who is the biological mom.
CJ's never had to be drunk to be taken advantage of.
I'm not a good mom, I'm an "incredibly awesome amazing super duper neato great mom". According to the Seven. ;D

Don't just have a drink, get some salt into you as well. My go-to first-aid for any headache is a drink and a salty snack.
An old medical friend of mine (actually a forensic pathologist, but she'd a qualified people-doctor as well) says that some people are so careful about keeping their salt intake down, they end up deficient. When her colleagues come to her because they have a headache (and she is allowed to prescribe drugs), she draws a line of salt along the back of their hand and makes them lick it off. Many of them get half-way down the line before they can even taste the salt, their bodies are in such need.

But having said all that, none of them are talking to me now. I honestly don't care. CJ is done with keeping things bottled up.
I had lunch with my brother two weeks ago. Told him I am concerned that I only hear from him when he is drunk, and all he wants to talk about is old grievances, how everyone is an asshole (but him), and his plans for mass retribution and pissing on people’s graves.
I suggested he forgive the past, let go of his anger, and focus on the love in his life, his wife and children (all of whom are a little terrified or sick and tired of him). So he GHOSTED me. And he got mad at me for going to a family reunion at our “asshole” uncle’s house. Texted catty replied to my photos I sent him.
My family is madly dysfunctional, but I did not think that comments made out of genuine concern would be taken so poorly. Just need to keep my fat yap shut.
UPDATE: So my brother refuses to speak with me for three weeks. He ends radio silence tonight, by texting me at midnight (drunk no doubt), that I had offended the hell out of him, and that he thinks we’ve just grown so far apart there is no point in continuing to pretend we are friends.
“We are not friends. We are family. You pick your friends. God picks your family.”
He probably won’t remember the conversation tomorrow, but really. Fuck you brother for upsetting me at bed time.

They came out perfect. Until the kids got their grubby little hands on them. We were going to have it with dinner tonight. Didn't make it that far.

I make our own bread, rolls, pasta, etc. On one hand it is annoying when they attack it, and it disappears before mealtime. On the other hand, that’s why you make it, isn’t it? You are baking memories, and adding love as an ingredient. They won’t remember that they spoiled dinner times (and their appetites). They’ll only remember those great rolls that mom used to make.

Warm Bread is almost the greatest thing ever. So good. But the smell in the house is just as good. Like an aphrodisiac to me. That and fresh baked choc chip cookie smell. mmm
Dan wanted to treat some of the people that work for him to dinner. We went out Friday night to a nicer restaurant. Upon sitting down, they brought water and the long and skinny, fresh out of the oven, bread rolls. It was so good. We devoured it. And it kept coming.
What ruined my day....their bourbon selection was absolutely ridiculously pathetic.
I turned to Dan after the waiter listed off their offerings."Seriously? This place sucks." "Sure honey," he said. Then turned to the waiter, "She would like the Evan Williams, make it a double, neat." I just smiled at the waiter as though that's what I had told Dan.
Then my drink was delivered filled with ice. UGH. Instead of sending it back, I just scooped out all the ice into Dan's water glass, which was half full by then.

I had a Bulleit neat after the crab feast last night. I had it just before we left and nearly regretted it. I felt fine and wasn’t worried about driving, that was until only 2 miles down the road and still tasting the bourbon, a cop turned on his lights and siren right behind me. My heart pounding and thinking about how I knew my breath smelled, I pulled over. The cop flew past me on his way somewhere else. Like I said, I felt fine with lots of food in my gut soaking up the alcohol, but I’m not entirely sure I would have passed a test. It was a sobering experience. My Peruvian didn’t bat an eye over the episode, but then she wasn’t driving and was a bit soused.

I keep a roll of peppermint Life Savers in the console glove box. Also roll the windows down half way to freshen the cabin. Hands at ten and two.

I generally drink rather slow especially away from home, and automatically slow down if I begin to feel it. But how I feel and what level would be measured is something I’m not very sure of.
A few years ago my first wife dislocated her hip for the 3rd time. Once the EMS was about to transport her, I told the cops present I wanted to follow, but I had been drinking all day. One of the deputies said I seemed OK and offered to breathalyze me. He looked at the completed test and commented, ‘I got no problem with you driving.’ I again stated I had been drinking beer all day and into the evening. He just replied, ‘Well, not very fast it seems.’
That was eye opening, but I tell myself not to be overconfident about such things.

It’s just tough to be sure. They sell breathalyzer kits, but again, with a .08 threshold, anything more than a single drink could get you into the danger zone. I won’t do a breathalyzer for a cop, or submit to a field sobriety (no duty to help the state document a case against you). Easiest way to avoid that is to not drink when you are driving.
Truth is, at our age, the cops have bigger fish to fry. If you aren’t stumbling drunk, they’ll usually just tell you to be careful and head home.

Was at the VA today for some check ups and adjust my diabetes medication. I've been without a Primary Care Doc since February when my former Doctor retired. (Got a letter)
A new one has been hired, but had to go through several weeks of training on VA procedures especially the computer systems and records. She starts next month.
When chatting with one of the ladies at the desk on my way out we talked about the new Doc coming and she said she'd met her and she's real nice. Then she dropped a bomb on me. My former doctor died. Funeral was last week.
As I expressed my shock she added, "At least he isn't in pain now." Cancer. He'd worked right up until the pain was too much to handle. He just loved his work. Was a heart specialist before joining the VA. He was a year older than I, too and I always wondered why he was still working. He was easy to get along with and liked hearing about the dogs I used to walk and the birding pictures I took.

Oldest was bitching about not wanting to eat in, but not wanting to go out. In other words, dad should drive out and bring dinner home. Wifey feeds the youngest a hotdog and ruins his appetite. Kitchen is a wreck, because the maid (me) tried to earn some money today and didn’t have time to run two loads of dishes. Meanwhile pandemonium over a cockroach. In the kitchen? No. Dad keeps the kitchen clean. In the childrens’ rooms, where all kinds of food and crumbs are laying around, because it’s too difficult to eat at a table and put your dirty dishes in the sink for the maid to wash.

Don't you hate that? Dan and I went grocery shopping one weekend. Come in with the bags, put everything away. 2 hours later..... "Can we get Little Caesars? There is nothing to eat here." Without me even responding, the other one says, "Oh, on your way back from there, can you get me Taco Bell?"
Sorry, but, I had gone on a run that morning. Then vacuumed the pool. Tossed on a baseball cap and we went shopping. Came home, put away the food. Went out and tended my garden beds for 2 hours. I come in the house and that's what is being asked of me? And all they've done all morning is sit on the couch watching Stranger Things and texting selfies to their friends.

It was a Trump 2020 flag, and the RV behind me beeped. 10 minutes later stopping at a marina restaurant for an early dinner, about 20% of the docked boats were flying the same flag.

Power is still out. 26 hours. DTE (our electric company) is saying it could take until Thursday.
Dan and I have move into the 71 degree basement. The main floor is about 85. I don't sleep in 85.
Our portable generator is powering the sump pump, a freezer, a fridge, and the exhaust fan for the hot water heater. Personal hotspot from my phone to computer.
We went out for breakfast this morning, then to Target, then to Lowe's, then shopping. Came home and worked outside. Grilled and sat by the pool, (which I'm concerned is not filtering, still clear as of now though). Then we showered in the dark. Now, relaxing as the room gets darker.
Kids are all staying at friends houses where they have power. Dan and I will be off to work tomorrow.

I do that quite frequently myself, but it does add extra time for each image post. The problem I’m having with sex.com is that I get the hotlinking image when I merely attempt to open a photo. And you have to get the image’s URL in order to repost it anywhere, including imgur.

She currently lives 4 hours away, moving another 4 hours further.

Thinking I was gone, the girl that empties the office garbage cans every night, didn't come into my office to empty mine. So, I come into work today and have been battling fruit flies all day. So, I'm in a mood from shooing pesky little flies away. grrr

I doubt that we ever truly knew Civilization. We just believed we did.
Eighty years ago, Europe and Asia were in flames. People were herded into death camps, prisoner of war camps, interment centers... Hitler was polishing his final solution.
I think after WWII there was an aftershock period of peace, where survivors of that war vowed “never again.” Those witnesses are gone, and the forces of evil are rewriting history for a public too placated, or stupid, to notice or care.
I blame the mass violence in the West today, in part, on the Internet, which has promulgated a lot of dark energy and stimulated a lot of people who don’t need to be stimulated. Then you have that lunatic in the White House stirring the pot...

Right, this is pretty much what I was talking about. History is written by the victors, and focuses on the Triumphs (Not the concentration camps for Japanese American immigrants.) That was the past, decades ago. So, if you're willing to take the time, and have the right sources, you can eventually get a pretty good picture of what happened in World War II.
Today, we have a filter for what's happening in the present, though it's actually delayed by hours or days. We're discovering facts about the El-Passo terror attack, as they're presented to us, while the Dayton shooter was planning his attack.
We have no idea who's planning what, and where now. It's possible that there was already another shooting this morning, and we haven't heard about it yet.

However, the internet (Blaming the internet, on the internet, for deseminating hatred on a former child erotica site) is also our most up-to-date source for what's happening now. Our most accessible resource for learning History, and also loooking up plans for How 2 make a Pipe Bomb. How to get to the closest primary schools, it's schedules, when they'll all be gathered in the yard for Track, and Field Day, and what the weather forecast will be.
The Internet is the messenger. Ultimately, spree shooters cause mass shootings. Again, we don't know what's going on, any more than we truly understand what happened in Europe, and the east coast of Asia in the late 30s.
We just like to think that we do. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

You could also say guns don’t kill people. But that is false logic, in my opinion.
When you give everyone a soap box to reach millions, you also provide instant networking for the most dangerous types. No way to put the genie back in the bottle, but expect mass shootings daily, streamed live with Go Pro. It’s already happening. It will get worse.

But I didn't. I don't believe that, but the media, including movies, video games, and the internet don't seem to cause Violence. I believe they help violent people decide what Kind of violence. It's Gun Violence, so one side wants to blame the guns, the other side (who're lobbied by the NRA, and manufacturers) want to point the finger away from the murder weapon, and in some ways they're closer to the truth. (As I see it.)
Because they point to other factorS, plural. The weapon is a factor, and so is the scene of a crime. Narrow the focus to School Shootings, and the selection of which school, which day, which direction they chose to assault it from are as much the ISD's fault as Armalite is responsible for making assault rifles for the Military.
That's why we can't truly understand all of what's going on, at any given time (The present is the hardest, because it's in realtime) We don't know all the factors, and the mind naturally focuses on the factor it finds most significant in the moment. If there were another fireteam shooting like Columbine today, the public image of the Spree Shooter, the lone gunman might make you miss the other shooters elsewhere in the building. The incendiaries on the doors, because we're focused on the shooter in front of us, or chasing us down the halls in the moment. There's no telling whether he was inspired by recent events, or his friends were inspired by the "Trenchcoat Mafia."

When you ban something, anything because of the worst examples, you deny everyone rights. In this case, the unprecedented right for people all over the world to express ourselves all over the world, almost instantly. If the Internet is to blame, then what would be the obvious solution, banning the Internet? If we blame the Media, then what's the ultimate solution, suppressing the Media?
People are already talking about such things, in the media, and on the internet. In fact, we're doing so right now. If it's a sword, you have to admit that it's double-edged.

I’d think it was cute Jules.
But then the other night while having a few dark and stormys in the trailer, I used the cramped bathroom and forgot to lift the lid. I then had to explain to my Peruvian that the paper towels I was retrieving were for sopping up pee. The next day I was told by a very disgruntled Peruvian that I drank too much. I didn’t need her to tell me; I understood that while cleaning up the pee.

She was on the phone with her brother last night for an hour, and gave me a briefing on it this morning. It seems her brother is buying a new house to get his kids out of the neighborhood they’re in and into a better school district. Her mom lives with him in a basement apartment, but the new house won’t have that.
So the parting thought I was given as I was leaving for work this morning was, ‘Maybe momma can live with us?’

Limpié toda la orina que tu marido dejó en el baño y también vertí su licor en el inodoro.
That would be ‘deje en el’.
And I cleaned it up.
Her brother is looking at other houses. Momma wants her own apartment in the house, not just a room.
My main objection is that if she was there 24/7, I would never get laid unless we were out of town. Or she was. It’s not my fault she’s so loud. Maybe I’ll introduce my Peruvian to the benefits of a ballgag.

A year ago when we were in Hawaii, the first 2-3 days her mom, sister and sister’s husband were on the other side of the wall until they got the bigger room they requested. My Peruvian, very aware of her family through the wall, would try to stifle her noises while cumming. It was hysterical to watch and listen to that mewing. I finally would push a pillow over for her to bite on.

Came home last night around 8 with no power in the neighborhood. I had to get out some lanterns to place around the house. We ended up in the kitchen listening (and dancing) to music on my iPad and having a few drinks.
That doesn’t sound too bad I know, except my repeated suggestions for a more horizontal activity got the thumbs down, and she doesn’t like my taste in music. I got a feeling lots of music I don’t like will end up on my iPad.
The power came on around midnight, at least according to my clock alarm. I was out.

Menopause.
Last 18 hours have gone from furious ‘I want a divorce’ and sleeping on the recliner to sobbing on the phone apologies and ‘I want ice cream’.
Maybe it’s not menopause, and she’s pregnant.

Runs early in her family, onset for her was probably 40. It’s a little hard to tell, because for a while she took meds to stop her period. It never resumed. She’s 42 now.

My wife is 38. Her mother was 42 when she birthed my wife. So she is still very much in the “let’s have a baby” mode. I thought the foster child might placate her reproductive inclinations. It only heightened them.

I haven’t done laundry in well over 6 months. She doesn’t like to iron though (like anyone does), so she takes my shirts and pants to her mom to iron.
And when she gets up at 5AM for work Mon/Wed/Fri, I just roll over and go back to sleep. It doesn’t always work, but I got at least 2 more hours before I need to get up. Coincidentally, Mon/Wed/Fri are also my masturbation mornings, house all to myself.

I got one of those 23andMe DNA tests quite a while ago. My daddy seemed so interesting in it, I got him one for his birthday. We sent it in and got the results back in May. And it turns out, the man I thought was my biological father for 45 years, is not. What a blow that was. Does he know? I don't know. I can't bring it up. He will always be my daddy though. He always was. So, that happened a while ago.
Today, I logged in to 23 and went to the Family & Friends tab and a bunch of names popped up. One showed as "50.1% shared DNA". Basically......it's my biological father. No, I will not contact him. I will not look any further into it. And my profile is private, so he and my half siblings can't see me. I just need to quit logging into the 23andMe website.

Before we got married, my new (also Russian) wife and I pledged to accept each other exactly as we are, and not to try and change/improve/remodel the other. And for the most part we’ve kept that promise. Going on four years now, and I can count the number of arguments we’ve had on one hand still. I’m really lucky.
Last night, she just threw a blanket over me and went to bed. This morning she simply said, “How are you feeling? Would you like me to make you some coffee?”
My ex didn’t really love me, and her incessant complaints were just a reflection of her unhappiness. The funny thing is, she got knocked up by her tennis instructor, left her family, let him move in with her, and now she’s got a mooch for a roommate, a bastard child, child support to pay me, and they fight constantly. Be careful what you wish for.

On a weekly basis having to remind everyone (Dan included):
"Empty your pockets when you put stuff in the dirty clothes. I'm doing you a favor by doing the laundry ,help me out.... Put the light colored clothes with the lights. Put the darks with the darks. NO, that is not light, it's dark. Don't put your shorts/socks/shirts in the dirty clothes inside out. Bring the empty hangers to the laundry room once in a while.
I did your laundry, I folded it/hung it. I brought it to your room for you. Can you plese hang it up or put it in the drawers. "
And I can just hear the middle one thinking in her head... bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, that's all Jules ever does, is bitch.
I would tell them once, maybe twice, depending on the ages, and then just dump the laundry on their beds and let them deal with it. ;D

They're easy to spot because (a) I don't use FedEx myself, and the only company that delivers to me by FedEX sends me the tracking data and (b) they always have email addresses that look like somebody mashed their face into the keyboard and then sneezed.

Both my old Dremel tool AND the custom speed controller I made for it* are dead. I know why the speed controller is dead: the >40 year old power switch disintegrated. I bought the switch as surplus in the mid-70s, and the switch could easily be 10 years older than that. That's an easy fix. Dunno why the Dremel itself is toast yet. It has both graphite brushes and it's own built-in speed control thumbdial; and the brushes look OK. Probably the speed control has gone to Silicon Heaven. Triacs don't last forever, sadly.
Oh, well, I didn't really want to spend this evening hogging out plastic, anyways. :facepalm:
*actually, the speed control was originally for a much OLDER Dremel my Dad had that has a Bakelite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakelite) chassis. It still works, but I'm loath to fire up that old antique.

<last week one day>
My cardiologist is frustrated with me. ;D He wants me to start on statins or some other drug to reduce LDL cholesterol. I demurred. The ONE time I tried their statin (Plavix), my inflammation shot through the roof, and I had rapid onset of severe arthritis. Rather than LOWER the risk of atherosclerosis, they increased the likelihood of it. Statins fuck with your liver's production of cholesterol AND OTHER THINGS. It's the 'other things' they do that shot my inflammation up.
I read and research frequently on medical topics, and atherosclerosis (plaque build-up in the arteries) is one of my hot buttons, since it killed my dad and his brother. My younger brother also has atherosclerosis. I'm on the other end of the scale: at 60 years old, there's still ZERO evidence of plaque in my arteries. The heart attacks I had in 2016 were due to a single occlusion in one small area of one artery, and the stent fixed that (likely permanently). The cardiologist didn't have any idea why I only had the one location with damage, and said it might have been a congenital weakness in that one spot.
I've also had at least 3 strokes, and numerous TIAs (small strokes that self-resolved). Ischemic strokes are caused by chunks of plaque or blood clots blocking a vein or artery in the brain. Note the 'OR'. If there's ZERO plaque, then they must have been blood clots. Fine, I'll take your anti-platelet drug and deal with bleeding frequently. The last minor injury I had bled for a full day before it finally clotted, due to the drug. 3 weeks later, it's healed and invisible. It sucked the first day, though.
No matter what source I look at (medical journals and studies on PubMed or ResearchGate, not WebMD), the result is "We don't know what causes atherosclerosis". All they know are risk factors; they still don't have a clue what the mechanism(s) are. They've identified a bunch of risk factors, but for the most part they don't know WHY it's a risk factor.
Type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar) High blood pressure High LDL cholesterol or triglycerides Smoking Obesity Age (over 45 years) Sedentary lifestyle (little exercise) Oxidative stress (high intake of oxidized foods) Pollution or other chemical stress Trans-fats or saturated fats Insulin resistance (not diabetes, yet still high blood sugar) Inflammation Alcohol Stress (there's a number of other less-obvious risk factors)
I smoke. I've smoked a pack per day for 45 years. I have high LDL cholesterol; it's genetic on both sides of the family. Hell, I had high LDL on a purely vegetarian diet with NO trans-fats and minimal saturated fats. Every time they've looked, the end result is 'no plaque', phrased in different ways. If there's no plaque, there's no atherosclerosis. Period. Risk factors are possibilities, but I don't have the problem after 60 years of elevated LDL and 45 years of smoking. Cholesterol is simply ONE risk factor, it's not causative.
Let me harp on that: Cholesterol doesn't 'cause' atherosclerosis. If it did, we'd all be dead of heart attack. Every animal has cholesterol - you have to have it or you *die*. Therefore, cholesterol isn't a Bad Thing, so get that idiotic 'Bad Cholesterol' phrase completely out of your head. No such thing. High or low levels of anything your body needs can cause problems.
Since I'm dead-set against statins, they recommended an alternate: PCSK9 inhibitors (Praluent or Repatna). The cost for them is $4000 to $8000 per year, TO SOLVE A PROBLEM THAT I DON'T HAVE. Yeah, thanks for the suggestion. I'm sure as shit not spending $8K USD yearly to correct a non-issue, and adding muscle aches or flu-like symptoms as common side effects. :roll:

You can get about a 30% increase in girth, but only 5-10% more in length. Plus (as Psi noted) you run the risk that you'll damage the corpus callosum, and it'll never go hard again. The most you'll get is a big soft dick, once it's damaged. The pumps the porn stars use are fluid filled and have a sleeve that you size to your dick, so that you don't over-stretch it. Do it often enough and you get a permanent increase in girth, but not much more length.
Billy Glide got a sizable girth increase from pumping; you can see the difference between his earlier films and the latter ones. He said it was from diet. Yeah, sure, you betcha.

Good for you, and I’m glad you’re still here.
You’ll have to pardon me though in being reminded of a TV show from years ago when this barely adult hippy girl shows up to tell the main character he’s on her list of people that might be her father. He remembers her mother and asks about her in a conversation that goes something like this:
‘How is your mom?’ ‘She’s been clean now for 5 years.’ ‘Oh, she stopped doing drugs?’ ‘Well, she still does drugs, but she bathes now. . . . . ‘

I was at the veterinarian until 3am last night. We found Jefferson's favorite kitty, Baron, under the fire pit last night. He crawled there after being severly injured. His right pelvis was shattered and his left leg is dislocated. Thank god there was no spinal cord injury, so there is hope.
The biggest danger now is if some of the bone fragments are causing an obstuction so that he can't pee. We are watching and waiting.
We found him the back yard and I don't think he is mobile enought to have been hit by a car and dragged himself there. The best guess is he fell of the roof and hit the concrete at a bad angle, or hit something going down (like the BBQ).
Please send positive energy for a speedy recovery.

They are getting old, that’s for sure.
I figured it out. You have to go into the Ad filter, and pick a subject that's as diametrically opposed to conspiracy theories about teh Lizard People as possible. Whatever floats your boat, I told them that i really would like to learn more about Green Technology (I do a little side work in the Industry.) That did the trick, but unless you actually want more ads about new high tech methods of Composting (Which kinda defeats the purpose, using ABS Plastic for Composting when chicken wire is so cheap, and recyclable) you might want to pick something else.
I have my own paranoid delusions of grandur to manage. I sure as shit don't need to subscribe to a goddamned paper newspaper on the fucking internet.

Despite reasonable weather in the forecast for the next week or so, I put the motorcycle away for the winter. No locker room at work to keep stuff in or change. Combined with the shitty hours (I leave home at 4:30 AM to get to work on time at 5:15 AM), I’m not able to ride as much as I would like.

I got kicked out of my gym today...by two sheriffs deputies!
Is it my fault that the gals in their tights have such great asses?
OK, that wasn't the reason. The franchise owner was way behind on his rent and they were closing down the place. I was just finishing my stretches and nearly ready to leave when they tossed us out.
I need to work out to control my diabetes so have to find another place soon.

My Peruvian said one of the signs we past on the way to Schoodic Point said no RVs beyond this point, but she also says I never listen. And according to the National Park Police Officer that asked for my license, registration and proof of insurance, the parking lot I parked in was never meant for my travel trailer. But hey, fuck him, no place I haul that thing and try to park has spaces meant for it. I got it in there fine and parked, so what’s the fucking problem? Lot was built for 75 cars and there were about 7 there.
It wasn’t so bad, just got a warning, no fine. Play clueless and play nice, and they relax and feel sorry for you.

Ongoing dental issues.
Dentist tried to remove a tooth on Thursday, but it wouldn't shift, even with the nurse holding my head down. Apparently my jaw is too strong.
I'm being referred for surgery, but in the meantime I am thoroughly bruised, my face is swollen and only allowed to eat on one side.
Oh, and we're going on holiday tomorrow...

Damned teeth have ruined, on-and-off, my whole holiday week. Pain has been flaring up two or three times an hour.
Strongest painkillers I can take without falling asleep haven't helped.
Worst of all is that the pain goes up with my blood pressure, so pretty much any level of arousal causes enough extra pain to put paid to most extracurricular activities...

Three kids: 11, 3, and 1. My wife is godmother of the middle one. Heart breaker. She lost control of her car on ice and went head first into an oncoming big rig. The other driver had no injuries. We spoke with her yesterday. It just reminds you how fragile life can be.

I have lived with her star wars bullshit since we were little. I have hated it ever since. She has tortured me with it for decades. I don't give one half a tenth of a fuck if Han shot first. I don't give one god damn fuck that Luke Skywalker probably fucked his sister at some point.

19F outside right now just before 6AM. I don’t mind really other than I had to turn the heat on in my trailer last night to keep the pipes from freezing. Trying to put off winterizing as I’d like to use it a couple more times before January. So burning up costly propane and not even in it.

I rubbed it and noticed three red lines on my hand. It really, really... really fucking hurt. Then I looked at it under a light and sure enough they were scratch marks. Even a tiny little bit of blood.
No fuckin' clue how it happened. It just did, and then after a while it stopped hurting but you can feel the scratches on my skin. :roll:

My menopausal Peruvian is convinced our marriage is falling apart. We didn’t even really have a disagreement, she just has imagined we did, or several of them. For my part, I just pretend all is fine while simultaneously walking on eggshells around her.

I get one of those every few weeks or months. Comes out of no where. Dr. Jekyl; Ms. Hyde. And crazy hurtful things are said.
I just unplug everything, and remind myself that she’ll be crying and apologizing within 24 hours. I have a theory about my wife, which may apply to your wife also. My wife grew up in poverty, she had a history of bad relationships, low self esteem, and abandonments. Consequently, I think she secretly feels this must be some big act on my part, and I’m going to show her the “real (bad) me” some day. I also think she doesn’t believe she deserves unconditional love, so she tries to sabotage things. Finally, she may not love herself, and it is hard to give love to others, when you don’t believe you are loveable.
So, I feel your pain bro. Fortunately, the good still outweighs the bad for me. But on those weird Friday nights at 11 pm, when she is screaming and yelling about going back to Russia, I wonder.

I’m really depressed. It just seems like a lot of not good things are coming to a boil at the same time. On the other hand, I have a lot to be happy about, and the holidays are here. So I feel guilty about being depressed too, which is even more depressing. I’m trying to make a perfect holiday for friends and family when all I can think about is putting a gun in my mouth.

CJ has a therapist. I suggest Toe get one too.
Or scream into a pillow, sometimes that helps.
I've tried and failed to kill myself. All the pain and bad memories could have been over with forever, but I still didn't do it. I tried to kill myself with drugs when I was a teenager. I tried to pull a trigger. I almost tried to fly without wings.

I have a tough time with this subject. My late wife attempted suicide several times, all while very intoxicated. She failed every time until she didn’t.
I feel both very angry with her, and very guilty for not being there when she had the bright idea to wash down her entire pain med prescription with a bottle of Chardonnay.
I had her see a therapist several times, except they always insisted she quit drinking which she was unwilling to ever do. I just forbade her from driving and rationed the pain meds until she figured out where I hid them.
Chirp and toe, you are not selfish people like my late wife. Please keep your head on the positive, and always know there are people who care very much for you.

I’ve had a cold last few day, just been eating whatever we had around and things my Peruvian made. That’s the same tonight, except I started tomorrow’s dinner. I blanched some asparagus, baked a sweet potato and sautéed some spinach. Tomorrow I will grill flank steak and the asparagus and make us small Caesar salads.
Cook something my friend, it’s damn fun and elevates our mood.
Edit: posted before I saw you already have those plans.

I made a really good beef Stroganoff last night, which was the first time I had cooked in a while.

...all of whom look to me to be their sword and their shield. I am dealing with a lot of complicated legal and financial issues at the moment, none of which they know about or care to understand. So I keep it all to myself, meanwhile they line up every night and ask the human ATM machine for money to pay for tuition, books, fees, phones, insurance, trips, clothing, entertainment etc., which only alienates me further.
Much the same here, although on a smaller scale.

May have been a premonition, or a self fulfilling prophecy. I went into cardiac distress this morning, passed out, hit my head on the nightstand, and spent the day at the ER. They did a full workup and say everything looks “normal.” They insist I have a virus, because of nausea and vomiting, but I have no fever, no diarrhea, no other flu like symptoms. They are all young, not very bright, and reading off a script. So I’m told I have a virus and am discharged with no aftercare instructions or follow up appointment. Corporate medicine in America.

You won't always have a fever with a viral infection. The vomiting sounds more like bacterial, though; could also have been something you ate.
I had a REALLY bad lung infection 11 years ago that they suspected was viral, no fever to speak of for the first 3 1/2 weeks. It was bad enough it'd have killed someone that wasn't in good shape. At about the 3 1/2 week mark I suddenly had a fever of 108 that scared the shit out of me. 3 days of that burned the infection out.
No problems for me today. <fingers crossed>

Fight with Dan this morning. Our first REALLY big argument. And when he walked out of the room after saying something mean, I got in my car and drove to work for the day.
I caught up with my work and then did some stuff on KB. And as usually happens, when I check suspect underage images of some posts I get to looking at 'related' pictures in the google results. So I dragged some into my imgur. So I'll post a few when I get time.
Real productive day.
But, I did get flowers at lunch. Then a text apologizing. I might forgive him. well, probably, maybe after a few more nice gestures.
No boys, don't suggest make-up sex. I'm still pissed.

We don’t really have fights. She’ll just get mad about something. The last time she was mad was when she found out that if I went deer hunting and got one, I would bring it home and freeze the meat. Apparently she thought I would shoot it and leave it in the woods. I explained that would be both unethical and illegal and defeat the whole reason why I like to hunt. She went on and on about how we didn’t have space and where would I do this acting like I had no clue what I was doing. I pointed out we have a chest freezer and that this was something I’d been doing for nearly 40 years, so of course I know what I’m doing.
That’s really all our one sided arguments, her telling me I don’t know what I’m doing about something she’s completely unfamiliar with when I actually do know what I’m doing.
So she’ll say things like, ‘You make me mad.’ Whereupon I reply truthfully, ‘You make you mad sweetie. I’m just there when it happens and get blamed for it.’
So, I’m not going hunting this year.

This was my mom. She would be mad at my sister or me and daddy would eventually catch heck from her soon after.

My Peruvian is getting better. She’s gradually getting mad less often with less severity and less duration.
She’s just used to men being very stupid and frequent liars, so it’s always an uphill battle convincing her I’m not.
Not sure she’s ever going to get used to my driving though. I can tell when she doesn’t like a maneuver, she makes a hissing sound like a tire going flat.

No, my late best friend made that mistake, TWICE. I did both of those divorces. He had one other marriage. It also ended in divorce.
My Vegas thing was a love hate deal. We got married. We had a fight during the honeymoon. We returned to Texas on separate flights, and got an annulment. We are friendly now. We were just young and stupid. It was for the best.

OK, ruined is a bit extreme, but an irritation.
The Bluetooth function of my MP3 player quit functioning. Crapped out on me at the gym. So enjoy listening to audio books while I work out. Also around the house where wife has the TV on 24/7.
Good news, the books are still there, but I have to plug in ear buds. I've gotten so used to not having that wire hanging down.
Gooder news...wife says buy a new one!
Gooder-er news...the same thing is now nearly half the cost of when I bought it 2 or 3 years ago. Be here Monday.
Now if I can just transfer the books from old player to the new one. Many are from public library and on the computer expire after 3 weeks. Stay on MP 3 until I delete them. Some of the books I had to wait "in line" several weeks before I could down load them.

My son caught a virus a few days ago, and today it was my turn. I’ve been feeling “not well” for several days now but today it hit with a vengeance. Nausea, vomiting, the whole shebang... then severe dehydration, low blood pressure, inability to walk without vertigo. So I basically sat in a chair for 24 hours. I finally read an article online that said to drink a tbsp of water every 10-15 minutes. That seems to have worked. Feeling improved.

We'd had a good surround system stereo with the old TV. One day while watching a Star Wars movie (Sorry CJ) the sound died. Think I blew a fuse in the amp or some damn thing. It never turned on again and I didn't have the ambition to tear things apart and take the system out.
Did that while taking out old TV. There were 5 speakers, plus the bass unit. It could shake the house if bass was turned up too high. I loved the effects too. Once I remember the sound of a helicopter taking off and could hear it "flying" behind my chair, going from one speaker to the other. Now I have a big bag of speakers, wire and cables to get rid of. :facepalm:
Been thinking of a sound bar, but now from what Obi says maybe save the money and just listen to the crappy sound from the TV. It is Bluetooth equipped, so I could pair my hearing aids to it. Good way to totally blast out the eardrums, eh!
Any one else have good ideas for TV sound?

Back when I still had a huge CRT set, I had a Sony surround sound system with five speakers and a huge woofer base, and yes, that was impressive. I remember films with Lucas THX surround sound, and the house would shake. And you did get the sensation of gunshots behind you, and helicopters flying around.
I have a 55” 4K now, with a Samsung sound bar, and a remote bass. It’s “OK” but not WOW. I just don’t watch enough television to warrant the expense of an upgrade. The sound bar is better than the television’s speakers, but that isn’t saying much.

Thanks Watcher1, it's not just me then that resorts to the captions (even for native English actors). However, we saw the "The Irishman" on Netflix recently and didn't need the captions even though most of the dialogue was delivered in almost a low growl.

Dropping the F-word could well have got it down to under 3 hours. Also, it seems to me that in every Italian-American-Mafia film there are many scenes where two characters endlessly repeat the same question and answer but with different emphasis e.g.
De Niro: Are you talking to me? Pacino: Am I talking to you? De Niro: Are you talking to me? Pacino: Am I talking to you? De Niro: Are you talking to me? Pacino: Am I talking to you? etc. etc.
This probably made a significant contribution to its length. Did the real mobsters talk like this?

The kids really didn't want us to go, but our friends had a better idea to bring everyone next Summer. We thought about it, and we agreed it would be neat to take the kids.
So we all agreed to wait and bring the whole tribe next time. Wifey was also like "I don't feel right leaving the kids this close to Christmas."
No one wanted us to go, and my daughter tried to hide it but she was upset that I was actually going to miss her birthday. We agreed we'd just celebrate on Xmas with the whole family instead, but I knew she didn't want me to go.
So bags are unpacked, CJ's not going anywhere. But my baby Latina still won't let go of me even though I've reassured her I'm not going after all. :facepalm:

Canada in the winter. Not going ruined your day? OK, missing out seeing friends is a bummer.
Unless you'd packed long underwear and heavy parkas, you might have frozen some sensitive bits off. Not fun!

This probably made a significant contribution to its length. Did the real mobsters talk like this?
Many mobsters were lucky to finish high school. They grew up on the streets so many adopted the vernacular of the street - F this, F that. But when said in Italian, fanculo, it doesn't seem as vulgar. 8)

I'm trying to act like I'm happy it's her birthday but inside I'm dying. It seems like 5 minutes ago I was changing her diaper. Now she's almost a teenager. I hate this so fucking much. It doesn't hurt this bad with the other kids. I just want to crawl into a very dark and cold place and cry myself to sleep.

My son had not cleaned the fan in his PS4 since he bought it (rather I gave it to him) several years ago. It was making an awful whining noise. “I didn’t know you were supposed to do that.” I took it apart; cleaned and vacuumed. “Wow. It sounds like a Tesla now.”

I keep this house spotless, but the damn thing still sucks up dust no matter what I do. I clean the surface it's on constantly. I'd challenge anyone to find dust in this house... except for the inside of our computers. :roll:
I took it apart, checked the fans and they looked fine but I still used air on them anyway. The clicking stopped, but now there's this barely audible buzzing. System temps all look normal, they hover around upper 30, never go above 55 or 60. usually about 40 when idle.
So I don't know. I should probably just replace them. :roll:

I've been reading about the wildfires, but that map is quite the eye opener. I'm used to large fires in the U.S. but they're usually confined to one area.
It looks like the whole of Australia is going up in flames. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Australia. The unique wildlife, found nowhere else, the independent spirit of the people. I hope this horror will be brought under control soon. Too much has been lost already.

I’m a bit frustrated these days. Even started looking at porn again, actual porn, not just what we have on here. I hadn’t been looking at porn hardly at all for well over a year, almost two, just what gets posted here.
It was probably 9, 10:30, and again right at noon. Just once this morning though, right after my Peruvian got up and began puttering around the kitchen. I got an eye roll when I come out and got a paper towel for the clean up.
We just had chorizo and eggs, late breakfast.

After brewing a pot, we "decant" the precious nectar of the wake up God to an airport, where it stays hot for several hours. Well, usually gone in a couple hours in the morning.
In the afternoon I make sure there's an ample morning starter amount in the pot. That way, coffee is available as soon as I hitthe kitchen. No waiting for a fresh pot to brew. If it's not hot enough, well, that's why God made microwave ovens.

Heard from my sister last night. She's scheduled for triple bypass surgery first week of February.
Her two sons will be with her. One has worked in a nursing home for years, so she has someone with experience in patient care.
I feel helpless being 200 miles away. Doubt wife is up to overnight travel anymore. Also I don't think she'd be good staying home alone.
Just have to trust sister will be in good hands and wait for news.
*hugs* to you.
Bypass surgery isn’t the big deal it was 20 or 30 years ago. Survival rates are very high. I had mine in 2017 and feel great. Hell, Bernie Sanders had one and was back on the campaign trail in a matter of days.
Sound like she’s lucky to have her son available. My wife had cared for her invalid mother for many years, and was a big help to me.
They told me six months to full recovery, and that was pretty accurate.

Thanks Toe. I know it's considered "routine" now. I was in the VA hospital a few years ago and had two roomies that both had bypass surgery. They were doing good a couple days after surgery.
Sister is scared about it tho. She's been living alone for many years so not used to being taken care of.

I just officially quit the prescription the cardiologist changed me to last year. I've had strokes and one heart attack, all likely due to blood clots. I'd been on an 81mg aspirin to reduce the likelihood of blood clots, and he changed me to Plavix, an anti-clotting drug. I've had numerous bleeding issues this last year, and apparently last night while sleeping I had an itch on the back of one leg, and I scratched it with my other foot, cutting a vein with a toenail. I woke with about a liter of blood in bed, destroying my mattress, sheets and comforter, and scaring me silly as that's about 1/5th of your blood supply. I could have bled out and died in my sleep last night!
As of RIGHT FUCKING NOW I'm back on the 81mg aspirin, as the bleeding problems were never this bad with aspirin.

First off. So sorry to hear about this, and hope you make a speedy recovery.
Second, my doctors had me on the blood thinner Xarelto in the hospital, and I told them no way they were keeping me on that. I switched to a daily aspirin on discharge, but not before suffering GERT, gastrointestinal problems, and black stools. I also knew about the dozens of liability lawsuits filed against anti-coagulant manufacturers. My best friend had some terrible complications and side effects, that his family believe contributed to his death at age 52.
I just don’t trust Big Pharma, and I’m not a fan of prescription medications.

Low dose aspirin I hope. I made that mistake before.
Someone at my work passed away less than two weeks ago from a blood clot (thrombosis). She was only 40. That has me thinking about the severity of such things. I also just had an ultrasound of my leg to determine if some swelling of my ankle was due to a clot, it wasn’t.

Some sort of medical emergency across the street from us last night. I was on the computer and hadn't heard anything, when my cat alerted me to something going on outside. (https://i.imgur.com/Z76oArj.jpg) Shortly after, an ambulance pulled up, again no siren. The firemen and EMTs were in the house for ten minutes and then left without taking anyone out.
It's still upsetting even tho' we barely know the people. They're renters, the only rental property on the block. They don't mix much with the neighbors. I wave at them when I see them coming and going and that's about it. Wish we knew them better and could be of help.

I got out of bed after sleeping and had a scratchy throat. It has progressively gotten worse and right now I can't talk. Hurts too bad and I've got a dry cough. Forcing water down. Cancelled a couple of people coming over. Dan is going elsewhere (another party) on my assistance. The temperature in the house is 74, which is 5 degrees above normal and I am FREEZING. Sweats and PJs on my bottom. A t-shirt, 1/4 zip pullover, and a jacket I use to run in the cold in is on my top half. Have a blanket over me sitting in the recliner with my pillow. I'm still freezing.

Woke up in the middle of the night. Awake for 2 hours. Went to bed and asleep by 5:00. I was feeling fine.
I got out of bed after sleeping and had a scratchy throat. It has progressively gotten worse and right now I can't talk. Hurts too bad and I've got a dry cough. Forcing water down. Cancelled a couple of people coming over. Dan is going elsewhere (another party) on my assistance. The temperature in the house is 74, which is 5 degrees above normal and I am FREEZING. Sweats and PJs on my bottom. A t-shirt, 1/4 zip pullover, and a jacket I use to run in the cold in is on my top half. Have a blanket over me sitting in the recliner with my pillow. I'm still freezing.
Heating cabbage soup rightnow.
I'm so upset by this.

You'll get better. Let this be a lesson to you about hanging around Humans. They're nasty creatures who spread disease.

Still feeling bad. Not as bad as yesterday though. I slept for more than 18 hours yesterday with nightmares (fitbit says 18 hours 41 minutes). 102 fever. I was chilled the entire time even with sweats on and three blankets over me. Sore ribs from coughing. Eyes ache. Head ached. Joints ached. Couldn't walk a straight line if I tried.
I banished Dan to the spare bedroom because I didn't want him to get what I have. But I would have given anything for him to be there cuddled up behind me holding me.

Sorry to hear that, hope it feels better. My ankle is flaring up just thinking about it.
In my 30s I lived briefly in an attic apartment where the tub was against a sloping roof, so there was no standing up. There was a handheld shower thingy I used. I discovered I preferred a bath over a shower and been doing that ever since, at least outside of my trailer or hotels that have shower only. It sure makes it easier to wash my feet if I’m not hopping on one to wash the other. And since I don’t hop, I have very little concern over falling, just getting in and out. I’m not quite ready for the elderly shower chair, and doubt I’ll ever go that route. Some say a bath is like marinating in your own filth, but that sounds ridiculously fastidious to me.
And while showering together is fun, a long bath together can be even better. Just lay back against me and let me slowly suds you up. I got a feeling you’re a really dirty girl.

Rehab people recommend those damn things for my wife when she came home after hip replacement.
They just don't hold. I've warned, yet she keeps using them. Soon after she comes out of the bathroom, CRASH! One or both of the fucking things fall off into the tub.
I fear for her each time she showers.

Post by: Shiela_M on February 07, 2020, 05:05:22 PM
I had a foot rest to at one point, it was just one huge suction cup, it didnt pop off, but when the wall got wet it would slide down. You'd think something like that would be better at holding more body weight. I was pulling on mine pretty hard at the time though....
You never can tell when they'll hold or not. Guess you're supposed to only have them up during use, and take them down when done.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: watcher1 on February 07, 2020, 05:46:11 PM
Suction cups are not safe or recommended for showers. Grip bars need to be screwed through the tile and into the walls.
But I digress, Shiela. Please do tell us what you were doing when the suction cup failed... ;D ;D

Getting up for work and found out that 5 Irish wolfhounds were brought in yesterday evening very sick. The owner thinks that somebody may have poisoned them. Shaking and vomiting is not good and is a sign they ate something clearly not good for them. I want to believe they just got into something they shouldn't have, but I know how some people are.

Chocolate?
That was the original thought, but for 5 of them to get into chocolate it would have to be a pretty decent amount. If it was one or two it would be more likely. Since they are on a farm we are thinking it's some kind fertilizer. We told her to check things out on her land and she's coming this afternoon to check on them.

I put my phone on the bathroom counter (insert msslave details here) and the ringer goes off. Volume is turned off and vibration is on, so it dives headfirst into the stone tile floor, and shatters the screen.
On one hand I have an upgrade option, and the phone is paid off. On the other hand, with 256 Gb, a restore will take a day or two, and nobody has time for that.
My phone is four years old. I’d like an 11 Pro Max, but that will add $44/mo. to the phone bill. Also, I’m not a fan of facial recognition. I think I’ll just spend $150 and get the screen replaced. Even that is a hassle.

Just got back from the phone store. $150 for the new screen.
I figure after Apple and Google share a few million facial screenshots with the NSA, I won’t be able to buy a hamburger at McDonalds without the brown shirts being notified. Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean everyone is not out to get me.

I have the 7 Plus which is the same size as Pro Max. It did take a little getting used to, and is sometimes awkward for texting with one hand, but since I use it as my computer, phone, and iPad, I could not go back to a smaller screen without complaints.

Wife was sleep walking last night at 4 a.m. She dreamt she had overslept and was late to work. So naturally she turns on all the lights and starts getting dressed and talking to me. I wake up with a start, disoriented, and have no idea what’s going on. So I put her back to bed (She says she doesn’t remember any of this. I believe her, her nocturnal wanderings are infamous). Now I’m wide awake for the day (4 a.m. adrenaline rush is better than caffeine), with only about four hours sleep to show for it.

We went to Cozumel last spring and had a nice time. Took a tequila tasting tour too. It’s a nice contrast to Cancún, which is just crazy touristy.

Looked out the bathroom window after opening the shade and saw a hawk on the ground. Kept watching and he lifted off carrying a squirrel. Walked into the family room and looked in the trees for him. Spotted him. Mr squirrel. Got out the binoculars and watched Mr Hawk tear Mr Squirrel to pieces. He ate all but the fur it looked like. When he was done he flipped what was left off the branch and it tumbled to the ground.

Oh god, just reading that... why on earth would you watch... I throw peanuts out on my landing of my apartment just to watch the squirrels eat. $36 at fleet farm. Now I'm thinking I'm feeding squirrels and hawks :'(

There were some issues at work and they needed my help to prepare documents to submit to the accountant for our taxes. Soooo, I had to go to work today. The drive in wasn't bad, but the drive home was filled with f*ckery (my new fave word). Six accidents in about 23 miles and what is normally 45 minutes at that time was 1 hour 30 minutes. I don't miss working every day, ugh, the time I've spent on the road over the last 5 years of working and having to drive through Detroit everyday.
It was nice seeing everybody though. And the one girl that took over for me announced she's pregnant today. Nice, but who they going to get in 6 months when she takes maternity leave. HEY, don't look at me, I'm used to this retirement stuff.

Oh yeah, also, Dan went over to his daughters place on the other side of the state. Still having car trouble, but he's got it fixed now. They're having dinner then he's coming home. So, 10:00ish. I guess I'll binge watch Outlander while messing around on here this evening.

HEY, don't look at me, I'm used to this retirement stuff.
Isn't retirement great? And to think we are as busy now as when we were working.
Yep, we're keeping busy. At least the alarm isn't going off at 4:50 in the morning anymore. And I'm happy I don't spend almost 1 hour 45 minutes a day commuting. Don't miss either of those things.
I slept until 8:30am this morning. YAY me! And Dan was a sweetheart and packed a lunch and took the youngest to school. She wasn't happy because he insisted they walk. hahaha, he got what he deserved, and had to carry her in one arm and her backpack with the other arm.
It was nice sleeping in. Even though I don't have to wake to a 4:50 alarm, I still usually wake up about 6am, and stay awake.

My ankle was killing me all weekend. Sunday I had to ask my Peruvian to take the trash to the street. I just couldn’t do it. I figured out it’s post traumatic arthritis, although the doc wants to rule out an autoimmune cause. Seeing a rheumatologist in 3 weeks. I know it’s related to twisting my ankle hiking in 2017, but before they will do surgery, all possible causes need to be eliminated.
I saw him today for a cortisone shot, and I got a black ankle brace. The brace looks like something the sheriff’s department would put on me to monitor my whereabouts.

Any history of Gout Jed?
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: watcher1 on February 25, 2020, 06:45:04 PM
Yes staci, good call. The doctors have been trying to blame this on gout ever since I went in 2017 just after twisting my ankle. But I kept telling them: I know what gout feels like, and this ain’t it, The gout meds which work miracles in making gout pain go away are no help at all, And, I twisted my ankle, so how can this pain not be due to that injury.
The proof was recently the orthopedic doctor pulled some synovial fluid out of my swollen ankle and I submitted it for uric acid crystal testing - negative. They also ran tests for infection including Lyme’s - also negative.
I expect once we rule out antoimmune, we can schedule surgery. He’ll scrape out the inflamed tissue and pack in some sort of cartilage supplement. I’ll hobble in a boot for a few weeks and hope to be hiking again this fall.

Jed -you are smart waiting for second or third opinions. Some doctors love to operate. More money in their pocket. Hope your ankle gets better.
I’m the one pushing for surgery. They know they have to eliminate all the cheaper causes/solutions before the insurance will pay for surgery.
Been through this with my first wife. They’ll put you through hell with the cheaper treatments until more expensive is a last resort. It’s not the healthcare provider’s fault, it’s the insurance companies.

Don’t blame this on me. Eliminate the middle man. UnitedHealth Group’s CEO David Wichmann earned $21.5 Million in 2018. Total executive compensation at UnitedHealth exceeded $79 Million.

Many doctors will run all types of tests, not because they think they are needed but because of the off chance their patient may either change doctors or sue them for not running more tests, whether needed or not. This drives up the price of health care.

Just about everybody in my family is a doctor, and I can assure you they are not running tests because they are afraid of lawyers. What my family members complain about are clients that use WebMD and show up self diagnosed demanding medications they saw on TV but don’t need. More often than not, they’ll write script, just to get the people out there. In the world of the Internet, people doctor shop until they find somebody that will tell them what they want to hear. I personally have clients that have seen 15 different doctors trying to diagnose a simple autoimmune problem, because they would not believe what the first 14 doctors told them or the last one.

I really really dislike funerals. Viewing at 9:00, hour long service at 11:00. Food/drink till 2:00 then off to the mausoleum, there between 2:30 and 4:00.
When it's my time, I'm leaving a note on my front door, walking into the woods and disappearing. Note will say I'm dead, do a shot for me, move on.

How members in some American Indian tribes did it. Instead of being a burden on their members, they would go off and die, their belief that their bodies will turn into dust and fall among the leaves and grasses. Then the animals of the forest and plains will feast on those leaves and grasses, keeping the spirit of those who have died.

What ruined my day. As I've said earlier on here I haven't slept well for two nights. We were going to go to the gun range today and I was really looking forward to it. Not going now. 1, I'm so tired, I feel like I'm in a fog. 2, I just don't know about the gunfire sounds today, even though I have some earmuffs that just about wipes out all the sound. Just don't want to chance getting over there and wanting to come home.

Yes, we're OK. We know when to call for help. Other than a bump on the head, it was just a matter of her getting in a position to where she could grab on to the foot of the bed and pull herself up.
We made sure the bed was strong when we bought it several years ago. She liked to tie me to it as she punished me, so she didn't want anything breaking if I struggled too much. :facepalm:

My wife is a restless sleeper. She grunts, moans, and sleepwalks. She snores, LOUDLY. She also has frequent myoclonic jerks. Now, after years of sharing a bed, she’s taken to wandering all over the bed, and into the TOE ZONE.
I tend to lay down on my back, fold my arms, and fall asleep. I may roll onto my left side once, but that is it. I don’t snore (unless intoxicated) and I don’t move around. I’m very still. After all, I’m resting.
Last night you would have thought I was sleeping on a pile of acorns, and she was a feral hog. I don’t think I fell asleep until 4 a.m. At one point she had me pushed so far off the edge, I put my hand inside my elastic waistband, so my arm wouldn’t fall off the bed. I got up and slept in a chair for a while, before turning on the lights and dragging her back to her side of the bed. She doesn’t remember any of this.
It’s becoming a quality of life issue. Fortunately, I found a solution. Unfortunately, they want $29,000 for it.

Sorry to hear that, and yes it’s scary.
The week my first wife died, my mom came to stay with me. During that stay I was just outside the front door and heard her yell followed by bumping sounds and knew she had fallen down the stairs. I remember thinking ‘this is too much’ before racing inside to check on her. We ended up in the ER but thankfully it was just some bad bruising and no broken bones.

I’m told I snore worse when drinking, the primary reason I get told not to drink too much.
She doesn’t snore very loud but occasionally cries in her sleep from a bad dream and has laughed in her sleep too. I wake her if it’s crying and laugh along with her if it’s laughing, hey, it’s funny.

Dan snores. I'll smother him in his sleep some day, I just know it.
For the 4th time this year, I am sick. On the tail end of it, but it was the worst yet. 24 hours stomach flu started 7pm on Monday. Had my head in the toilet every hour up until 3 am. Violent throwing up. Not pretty.
Since then I have eaten 1-1/2 bananas and a can of healthy choice soup. And 2 - 28 oz Gatorades diluted with water. The soup I at an hour ago has my stomach doing back flips.

Well, after 18 years of marriage the Mrs says she is wanting to move on and try new things in her life. So it seems I will be taking the photos of her down today. I guess I saw it coming just didn't want to recognize it. :'(

Well at least she was honest. My ex waited until I was out of town on business, and cleaned out the house. Get a good lawyer.

I have already contacted one that defended me on a trumped up paternity suit a couple years back. He was just as shocked as I was but is already getting the letter ready.

I know you like losing the weight, but if you end up all skinny and boney, you'll poke a hole in the hot tub.
Please, get well soon dear. Hate thinking about our girl not feeling good. :emot_kiss:
Doing better. My tummy still doing back flips.
I had some sushi on Monday at noon. I got sick at 7:00 (49 hours ago). Since then I have eaten 1-1/2 bananas. 1 can of Healthy Choice soup. A handful of Oyster crackers. And 15 minutes ago I ate 1 cup of noodles. And I'm really haven't been hungry at all. Water and gatorade for electrolytes.
Thank you for your concern MS. :-*

Where does it say that Covid-19 gives you the shits?
In the UK, government advice is that profiteers will be prosecuted even if they are private sellers using online platforms.
People are buying up all the toilet paper in case of quarantine. Can't leave and don't want to run out.

Got back from the store a little while ago. I would have preferred to buy a larger pack of paper towels instead of a couple 2-packs, but otherwise got everything on our list and then some. Most I recall recently spending on groceries was $250 as I don’t overbuy, but today was just shy of $400. I’m good for 2 or more weeks.
There was no TP, but I don’t need it. My Peruvian bought a jumbo size at Costco last fall, and we still have nearly half of that left. I expect we’ll go through it faster with me working from home, but still, can’t imagine running out before May. That woman in the pic should be good well into 2021 even with a large family.

I went through the same fucking thing. CJ was stocking up with junk food, juices and chocolate milk while people fought over toilet paper.
The deadliest symptom of this is that it causes a malfunction in the brain that compels you to collect shit paper and bury yourself in it.
Thankfully I'm already set with it because I already have enough runny noses to wipe and always keep a couple tons worth of it anyway. :roll:

Lack of toilet paper.
Dan took a survival class when he was a teenager. One of the things he learned was that there are many options to clean your backside without toilet paper when in the wild. I suppose you can adapt to your current situation if you run out of TP, papertowels, kleenex, baby wipes, wash clothes, newspapers, Cleveland Indian t-shirts, etc.
One of the preferred methods if near a sea is to get a seashell. You can use it to scrap yourself clean. Then clean further with seaweed. Dan added that a spoon will also work. *gag*
You can use a round flat stone to do it also. Corn husks is what the farmers used to use.
He's a wealth of knowledge. How did I survive this long without him?

There is always the single sheet trick my dad told me about too.
Fold the sheet in half then in half again, tear off the folded corner and open sheet.
Put finger through the hole in the middle and wipe.
Use the other hand to slide the paper off your finger cleaning it.
Use the torn off piece to clean under your fingernail.

You always make do. Lived for a year with little or no toilet paper. Pages from a paperback came in handy at times. Some types of leaves. Not the end of the world.
Even did a few times like Shiela posted. But only by accident. The toilet sheet was so thin you could literally see through it. ;D

Returning to the truck yesterday from Walmart with a 4 pack of paper towels, some guy seeing us asked, ‘What, no armed guard carrying that?’ I replied, ‘I’m gonna sell it on Amazon and make a fortune!’
We all had a laugh. And, now from Walmart and Safeway, I’m the proud owner of a total of 8 rolls of paper towels.
Walmart had in the back 2 and 4 packs of paper towels, and 6 packs of TP allowing only one per customer. My Peruvian wanted to get two of the TPs since we were 2 people. I told her no, we had enough TP at home, and let someone desperate buy those. I just hope whoever got them, really needed them. We didn’t, and I wanted to be civil about a real need.

Back at the grocery store today we see a woman about 80 bent over like a question mark with a cane slowly walking towards the door. We park and go in, just to find her struggling with the motorized grocery carts. One wasn’t plugged in she said, and the other was wedged in so bad she couldn’t get it free. I got it out for her and got her rolling on her way.
But the whole time I wanted to ask:
Why are you here? Where is your family? Don’t you have neighbors checking on you? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE!

Almost happened to me once. Had a bad power steering leak and took it in. Told me I needed a whole new pump and would cost about $600, I couldn't afford it and it still drove so I brought it home. Uncle told me to take it the guy he goes to and found out it was a bad rubber piece. $125 and it was fixed. Treat them like doctors and get a second opinion.

My local mechanic quoted $1300 to replace the leaking heater bypass valve on my Saab. Actually, to replace the whole unit. I bought the part online for $34, and a shade tree charged me less than $150 to put it on, tax included. #sheepgetslaughtered

Too much COVID-19 news. I haven't been so glued to the TV since the days after 911, and before that was the OJ trial.
This is only the beginning. We still have months of this. Psychologically going to drain me. I need to schedule some days away from it.
Thinking about going to my daddy's cabin up north. Sheltering away 200 miles away with nobody around. No internet, no tv, no cell tower reception. Just quiet times. The kids hate being not connected.

Yeah, reminds me of being glued to the TV watching Katrina bearing down on New Orleans. It’s the same phenomenon of not wanting to miss a wreck watching NASCAR. Doesn’t mean you’re hoping for one, just don’t want to miss it with morbid fascination.
My Peruvian and I both have weird headaches, but so far no persistent cough or fever. She was off this morning to take care of little ones as the day cares are still open.
The cabin sounds good Jules. We have not cancelled a 4 day camping trip 2nd weekend in April, but I’m considering going before then, maybe next weekend. The April trip is with her family, not sure it’s a good idea, would be 14 of us, maybe more.

That way in our town too. The stores are now only open 8 am to 8 pm, to give them time to restock. We’ve got enough food to get through the weekend. I’ll try to shop again on Monday.

Nothing. My fucking county doesn’t even have coronavirus test kits yet. No one is practicing social distancing. It’s very frustrating. At least the governor approved home delivery of alcoholic beverages. You can get margaritas delivered to your doorstep now.

So many people buying pasta and sauce. I'm driving around in this warehouse on some weird forklift type thing and have to stack stuff that the store orders on a pallet on the back. Boxes of pasta are heavy and there is so much of it.
And to top things off, I'm turning a corner and the stuff I stacked up on my pallet tips over. Salsa, pasta sauce, soy sauce.... jars broken and stuff everywhere.
Seriously miss my old job, really hoping I get back soon.

Holy shit. That’s awful. I do industrial accidents. A lot of pallet jack and forklift stuff.
I am out of canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and I only have 3 cans of tomato paste. There has been none of these items or pasta on the store’s shelves for weeks. Thank you for what you are doing. There’s a lot of families that will go hungry if the food supply chain breaks.

As is, I'm not helping that cause by messing up and smashing jars. Must have been 2 dozen jars of sauce all over the floor. Felt so bad, was so embarrassed. Didnt have much training either. They said normally I would follow a worker for half a day watching him pick the order, then I would take over the second half. Do that for two days then I'm on my own. Since it's so busy, they couldn't spare the worker to train me so they had a supervisor follow me around showing me for first half of the day, then he gave me a walky talky and said if I need help to call for him. Didn't call him as much as I had thought. The other people picking orders were pretty helpful. This job is no joke, I'm going to be so sore tomorrow

I have been looking for tomatos and sauce to make spaghetti sauce and could not find any. Today at Central Market, found some but there is a limit on how many can be purchased.

I haven’t bought any pasta since this started, so the depletion hasn’t bothered me. I did buy a small can of plain tomato sauce. I tend to start that way with plain sauce and jazz it up myself. My Peruvian isn’t a fan of eating pasta too often, especially for dinner, unless it’s an early dinner, says it’s too filling. That said, I made pasta salad for dinner last night to go with fried chicken. I made enough pasta salad for 2-3 days. It disappeared in one meal, guess it was good, lol.
Penne pasta Cucumber Tomato, fresh cherry and thin sliced sun dried Red bell pepper Kalamata olives Feta cheese Seasonings, lots of different spices Dressing (mayo, olive oil, sesame oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, rice wine vinegar, Dijon mustard)

So the guy that's letting me borrow his radio at work came up to me at the end of the day and told me that Brian is telling certain people that he's going to "bang the new chick on a pallet of dog food". I wasn't sure if they new we've been together before or not so I asked and he said no. Acting like we've never met or something and he's some player and I'm some dumb slut who's going to lose myself to him or something.
And on top of that they have bets to see how long new people will last. Apparently I've lasted longer than most thought I would. I dont plan on staying there forever, but I'm not going to quit because it's tough. I'll quit when I'm welcomed back to my old job.
So there's that little bit of prick that just but me in the ass.

Had a meeting with Brian, GM, and union stewart.
According to the GM
Seeing as how we had a pre-existing intimate relationship this will not go on record as sexual harrassment and put down as inappropriate conduct. Since we are so busy and we need all hands on deck, he will not be disciplined at this time. He will get a three day suspension without pay when the stay safe at home order is raised.
I wasn't even the one to report this but it got back to the GM somehow.
So... slap on the hand for him
At least I have friends like all of you to distract and cheer me up :emot_kiss:

I did some legal research for you, but I didn’t post it, because what you were told is basically the truth. Sexual-harassment involves conduct directed to you. Him saying something, to the boys in the back room, is not a per-se violation of EEOC guidelines. It can create a “sexually hostile work environment“ if he does stuff like stare at you, or licks his lips when you walk by, or physically touches you in anyway. But it must to be some sort of direct interaction between him and you. The other downside of filing an EEOC complaint is that they will find some way to fire you. So I would say buckle down, avoid the bastard, and let the chips fall where they may later. Obviously someone there cares enough about you (radio guy?), to report it. Someone’s got your back. And you didn’t have to be the bad person. Good luck with this.

One of the main reasons I didn't want to report it is because I've only been here a week and I didn't want to be seen as a problem with the other workers or liability to the company.
I asked Kenneth (radio guy) if he said anything but he told me he didnt, maybe wants to remain anonymous so I didn't push it. Whoever it was I wish I could tell them how much I appreciated it.
The only thing now is every time I see somebody looking at me I get uncomfortable over what they might be thinking. Most have been really nice to me but now they may be thinking I reported him and now I'll be avoided like I got the covid. I miss my old job.

But then there were the webinars... so boring, my eyes dried out watching, being told how to suck eggs for two hours... when microphones were turned on for discussion, hecwas drowned out by babies, animals, washing machines, and two participants were in the same room, which caused almighty howl-round...

Keep in contact Toe. Age some times brings family bact together.
My sister's and I were estranged for about 20 years, mostly due to my drug use. I lost track of them as they both moved and had new phone numbers.
One day, looking at on line version of the old hometown paper, I saw an obit for my Nephew. He'd committed suicide. Went to funeral home site and they offered a feature to leave a message for the family. I did, including my email. I soon heard from my sister and we were able to reconnect.

I like to think he knows what he did was wrong, and he feels ashamed. More likely, he feels he was unjustly accused of lying, and harbors bitterness from it. He thought he would turn my dad against me and my other siblings, and be the sole heir to dad’s fortune. So he spent 20 years kissing the old man’s ass (a terrible thought), is more or less reviled, and has nothing to show for it. So he lost the family’s good graces, and still won’t even be able to cash in on what he did.
He never had children of his own. He does not know his own nieces and nephews. His wife is a pill popping boozehound. So it leaves me scratching my head. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I have an estranged brother, who told some malicious lies that caused a horrible riff in the family, some 20 years ago. Everyone is still pissed about it, and he stopped talking to his own siblings about the same time. I always think about him on May 1, because it is his birthday. I usually send him a text message. Some years he replies, other years he doesn’t.

Just think how awful it was back a generation or two ago when the power went out while watching a suspenseful movie. There was no On Demand or similar things to easily access the movie so you could finish watching it after the power was restored.
No internet or Wi-fi is almost a major disaster to the younger generation.

My oldest had a rough weekend. Destroyed his car. In BFE. So I spent the weekend driving back and forth, getting it running, and back to town. He needs 4 new tires and suspension repair. Rather than fix the car, he’s talking about buying a different car. Better the devil you know...

We had three teen drivers on our insurance at one time. I used to purchase cars that were rated 5 stars for safety for them to drive. One totaled his car, a Volvo, when someone driving the wrong way on a one-way street broadsided him. If it wasn't for him driving the Volvo, he would have been seriously injured. Glad your son is all right, Toe.
I can't imagine what insurance rates are now for teenagers, especially in a large urban city.

Had a 4 day getaway planned for our 1st anniversary. I called the B&B booked for the weekend and canceled. The woman was very gracious and said she was thinking of calling me. She refunded my non-refundable deposit, so that was nice. Today I’ll call the spa we were planning to stay at for the actual anniversary and day before and cancel there too. Suppose we could still go, but it would be ordering carry out/ delivery for the room and not going out, so what’s the point.
Trying to convince her we need to go somewhere soon. We can haul the trailer to a spot I know in the Monongahela National Forest and quarantine in the woods for 3 days.

There's no excuse to even think about raising my voice at any of them. I just told them to please go downstairs and wait for breakfast, I needed to get ready for my shit temp job. :facepalm:
I ended up crying in wifeys embrace as she comforted me. Headache is gone now, still tired. Don't know how much longer I can take this. :facepalm:

While Dan and I were out today, the girls went and got the dog and brought them back to our house. That's fine as long as the dog stays outside. But, they brought him in the house. How do I know this? Because my eyes feel the size of baseballs. And my nose won't stop.

Since my ASD kid wrecked his car, I’m driving him to and from work now. About 140 miles, and two hours of my life, daily. This morning he wanted to deposit his Trump check. Naturally, he left his debit card in the ATM machine. Two hours later he calls in tears, and asked me to drive to his bank to look for it. Big benefit of living in a small town. The card was still inserted in the ATM machine, two hours later. Lucky mofo.

MJ - Whereas the CDC says if the virus has not worsen in numbers or deaths for 14 days, then some reopening should occur. Our governor, like yours, wants it to be 28 days. I feel for all the students denied an education for the last two or three months. On-line education is not the same. I feel for the millions out of work, yet no local, county, state or Federal worker has lost their job.
The governors are saying that being back to normal will not occur until there is a vaccination developed for the C-19 virus, which can take 12 months or so. In the United States, only 40 - 45% of people get vaccinated for the flu. Other vaccinations have worse numbers. Will the government force everyone to get vaccinated?

They are contacting everybody who has had contact with him and lucky me we had a conversation the day before he went in for testing. I wear a mask the whole time I'm there, and I do my best to keep my distance, but it's not a fool proof plan. I get free testing if I want it because of essential worker crap, but don't want them sticking that damn q-tip into my brain. On top of that I just got off the phone with Jake to let him know.

I finished the three part series, on the life of Ulysses S. Grant, last night. It was a harsh reminder of the role racism has played in our country‘s history. Certainly the cause of the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the Klan, the Civil Rights Movement, the Voting Rights Act, Desegregation, etc. We’re heavily invested in it, and the public for a large part seems to turn a blind eye. Every one of these incidents should serve as an opportunity to pause and reflect, then move in a better direction. I’m afraid our current administration is trying to turn the hands of time backwards. It won’t work. We will ultimately get there, but not in my lifetime.

Shopping for makeup.
No, not for me. My wife can no longer drive and she was running low so we ventured out to Wally World and spent an hour going up and down the same three aisles.
I was gobsmacked by the approximately 1.4 gazillion different products, each one offered in about 0.37 gazillion different skin tones.
One eyebrow thingy was sold in a package weighing 4/100ths of an ounce. To buy a full ounce would have cost $2,170.00! Seriously?
On to the kitchen gadgets. We are now the proud owners of a new oven thermometer, a new set of spatulas and a pizza cutter. That only took 30-minutes.

All the riots and fires caught up with me and hit me hard. I left the house to go to the local gas station 4 blocks away. I was going to pick up a newspaper as the carriers aren't delivering, fearing for their safety.
As I neared the gas station where I've filled my car, gotten it washed, picked up coffee and maybe a donut, for so many years, all I saw was a blackened smoking shell of a building with firemen doing a final mop up.
(https://i.imgur.com/f5wzGEd.jpg)
I lost it, still behind the wheel of the car. I was racked with uncontrollable sobs. The weight of what I've watched for four days now hit me hard. The mobs were just a few blocks from me. Across the street the drug store that had be looted was reentered and set on fire. That was put out with out doing much damage.
Our local mine supermarket was all boarded up, but appeared undamaged. I saw a fireman turning off the hydrant and told her, voice cracking, that I was sorry what they were having to go through. She replied she was sorry for what we were going through. I cried somemore.
No idea how this will end...I just pray it ends soon.

I use main stream social media for several reasons and one of those reasons happened last week. Quick back story, I was attending tech school a while back and for one of the classes I needed to make a profile on LinkedIn. Kept going to the class and then eventually forgot about it. I kept getting emails and notices saying so and so is doing this and that on LinkedIn. Well last week one of my more unsavory ex's looked me up on it, and now I keep getting emails. And he keeps sending me messages. Just so you understand Corey, he makes Eric, the "I'm going to bang the new chick on dog food" guy, look like a choir boy. A lot of emotional abuse, no physical.
He gave me the I changed speech and wants to know where I live to see if we can get together some time. I wanted to reply, to say something, but Jake told me not to and to just delete the account. I didn't delete it but said I did and kept getting the messages. If I deleted the account Corey would know that I seen his messages. Jake found out we had an argument and I haven't talked to him in about a week. Until today anyways.
I filled most of my new journal with this over the last few days. But I finally deleted the LinkedIn account without saying anything.

Guess Chirp will have to wait awhile longer to see pictures of my re-toned butt. Or, I can send a before shot of my flabby cheeks. ;D

Another reason I'm looking forward to the gym opening again. All the lovely lady butts in spandex! Woo! I love to think that some of them like looking at my old mans butt. Hey...just cause I'm old doesn't mean I don't have silly fantasies. ;D

Didn’t ruin my day, on the contrary.
So my Peruvian’s brother sold his house and bought a new one. That means she had to get the last of a few things out of his house. She took black plastic bags and filled about 8 of those. I was home working.
Unpacking in the back bedroom that doubles as an office I hear her scream followed by her running down the hall to me hyperventilating. My first thought was, ‘That must be one huge spider to get her like that.’ I go down to discover a juvenile black snake about 20 inches long. I released him/her on my deck. Cute little fella isn’t it?

Dan and I were lounging around the pool yesterday, just relaxing enjoying the beautiful day. He struck up a conversation with the neighbor and ended up inviting him over. After a bit the subject turned to alcohol and Dan decided to offer up some Bourbon. I assumed he would take the generic stuff I have sitting on the bar that I use for Old Fashioneds. But no, he got the bright idea to go into the cabinet and pick out any old random bottle. I partially blame myself for not seeing what they were drinking and that is one of the best bottles I currently have in my collection. I wasn't aware because Dan kept the bottle in the house and out of the sun. So when he'd get them each a new pour, he'd go inside. 90 minutes later they were both smashed. They were funny and all, but so loud.
It turns out they were drinking a very hard to find bottle of George T Stagg and a very high proof of 131. It cost me $180. And they drank 3/4 of it. :(
Within 2 hours of opening the bottle, they had both passed out and were snoring in the Adirondack chairs. Snoring so loud I couldn't even concentrate on reading. I was going to go for a walk, but I was afraid one of them might try and get up and accidentally fall in the pool.
So I poured myself a generous glass, capped the bottle, and put it on the bar. It was so good. It didn't have the kick of high proof. So so good.
Dan and the neighbor woke up about 3 hours later. I made them dinner. Sent the neighbor on his way home. Dan laid on the couch and went back to sleep. I went to bed about 11:00pm last night and left him laying there. He woke up this morning about 4am and crawled into bed wanting to make love. I told him no way and to leave me alone and that I was mad at him for drinking my good bottle. He promised to replace it. "Good luck with that," I told him.

It took me two years to find a bottle of George T Stagg. And this morning he promised to replace it. Guess who came walking in with a bottle of it at 5pm. When I asked how, all he would say is, "I know people." Well, I need to know what else his people have for sale.
So ,he's forgiven. And he has been warned not to open any bottles without okaying it with me first.

I’ve done that twice, but with a Chef’s knife. The first time fine slicing shallots for a Béarnaise sauce. I don’t recall what I was cutting the second time, except my finger tip. I went to the hospital the first time, the second I took care of myself. So the index and middle fingers of my left hand got scars on the tip.
It’s remarkable what grows back from doing that. It’s scary, annoying as shit, but less severe than it seems at first.
I never did find the tip in that pile of sliced shallots. Just a little fleshy ‘lentil’ for flavor.

I didn't lose any part of my fingers but I did end up having 150 stitches in the four fingers of my left hand when a board I was beginning to plane kicked back and as I went to grab it my fingers and the spinning blade met. The doctor did a very good job of sewing the skin of my fingers back together. One can hardly see the scars but the fingers are sensitive to hot and cold more so then the fingers on my right hand.

I used to jam a wedge in the blade guard of my circular saw. Until I watched a friend cut off his finger with one. Glad you had a good doctor. We picked up my friend’s finger, and took it to the ER. They reattached it, but complications ultimately led to a second amputation. That one at least had anesthesia.

A few cases? Let’s say ‘a few’ is defined by 3 or more, so at 12 bottles a case that comes to $5 dollar bottles of wine (or less).
I’d stick with one case of Cabernet Sauvignon for $180, and hopefully it will be a fine vintage at $15 a bottle. For Cabernet Sauvignon I typically buy in the $15-$25 range unless it’s a special event. I buy by the case, and get 15% off.

I buy the 1.5L sizes so 6 to a case. With 10% discount comes to something like $55 a case. For special occasions I will buy the .750L in the $20 range. Not too many people can tell the difference except when you go into the high priced wines.

So yesterday I received a group text about a death and funeral occurring in the town I live in. I did not recognize the numbers, no names including of the deceased were mentioned, just a link to a local funeral home. So very worried I began going through the pages of obituaries from the funeral home. After looking for a while and thinking on if I knew one of these people by a nickname instead of the name on the website, I finally figured out it was a mistake.
Knowing they thought they contacted someone they did not, I texted that I received this as a mistake adding that I was sorry for their loss. This started a flurry of texts from people just plan not getting it. One person texted me privately saying it was no mistake, he was dead (still didn’t know who died). Another of the group text asked me how could I say it was a mistake because it was my cousin! People began adding their names and asking my name (which I wasn’t about to give). Someone added the deceased’s name, so I again told them it was a mistake, and I didn’t know any of their names including the deceased. One seemed to get it and tried to explain to the others, but there were people calling me Kristie in the group text and arguing with each other saying the number was correct.
I finally had enough and blocked all 7 numbers that were involved at this point. I knew there were some dummies in my town (especially by the number of Trump2020 signs), but jeez, some people just won’t take ‘wrong number’ as an answer. Besides, they gave me a scare a friend might have died, something I’ve been dreading to hear about.

Yes, I understand it’s a burden to send out individual messages. But if you don’t care to contact me about something individually, I will just read about it on Facebook.

They can be entertaining. Our high school senior's spring break. She was going with a bunch of friends. Dan and I were going on the trip with her, as were other parents of the senior girls. So I was included in the mom group emails planning excursions and all. That was fine. I had met some of the moms but I did not really know them. Anyways, planning was going along fine until the Covid started and plans were up in the air. Some still wanted to go to Punta Cana, some wanted to change to Florida beaches. It was EPIC. These moms went at it for all of us to see. There were 5 moms involved in the arguing. Me and two others on the sideline. I couldn't wait for the messages to come in. Dan and I were cracking up. My favorite line was, "You're a bitch! You've always been a bitch! A bitch since the day you had to be Mrs Smiths class mom. You knew I wanted to be class mom. BITCH!" (I found out later that Mrs Smith was their 2nd grade teacher.) And we didn't go on the trip because everything was shut down because of Covid, so three weeks of arguing for nothing.

Exactly. With our senior this year, there has been so much of this. People ask me “why do you prefer Russian women?” It’s because of THIS. I simply cannot stand the one dimensional, materialistic, bleached blonde, bad boobs jobbed, bitch assed women that turn into helicopter moms and drive everybody fucking crazy. I would rather slit my throat than live with one of these for a week. My kid is going to Utah on Wednesday, and everybody is carrying on about stuff like horseback riding, tubing, dance lessons. Seriously. Who gives a shit? They are 18. Let them be 18. They don’t need some broken down 50-year-old hack trying to relive her childhood through them. I almost pulled my kid off the trip. He talked me in off the ledge.

A few years ago and back when I had a work phone there was a glitch in our email system. Somehow an email from China went to everyone in the company around the world. My phone began buzzing constantly around 1AM. I woke and looked seeing emails flooding in. I got a little worried thinking I had messed something up with the phone (it was new and the first smart phone I ever had). I turned the phone off and tried to sleep.
In the morning there were about 300 emails. It seems whenever anyone tried to reply to the original email to say ‘wrong recipient’ it ended up as a reply all, to every employee around the world. Eventually these messages got vitriolic and even some anti-Chinese racism from people feeling picked on. There were others fretting about it being a virus and they were not at fault. It was quite humorous reading through these. It’s possible some of the replies got people in trouble. Nearly all were from outside the U.S. due to some IT in China fixed the issue before the normal U.S. work day started. We all had to delete a lot of nonsense that morning.

My aunts dog and her neighbor's dog got into an fight yesterday. They have always gotten along and played together, but for whatever reason the neighbor's dog attacted.
No serious damage was done, but my aunts dog Charles got two hole punched through the ear. They called me and I sped over to help. It is amazing just how much they bleed through the ear. The puncture was about a half inch but bleed like a gun shot wound. They would get the bleeding to stop, but evry time he shook his head it would break open again. My uncle tried putting super glue on the wound because that's what he does when he cuts himself.
All I did was place antiseptic on some gauze and placed one on the inside and one on the outside. Gently wrapped his ear and the wrapped it to his head. When he shook it didn't move and after an hour it was pretty well clotted. Cleaned the glue residue off and then wrapped it gently again.
First fight the poor guy ever got into. No official complaints and since they didn't go to a vet there is no chance of a report on the other dog. A bite history is a bad thing for a dog in my town. Told the neighbors to take their dog in for a checkup, it may have some medically identifiable issues that caused the attack.

Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey. Mezcal is defined as any agave-based liquor. This includes tequila, which is made in specific regions of Mexico and must be made from only blue agave (agave tequilana).

Can this be true?
Real tequila does not contain a worm and it never has. The worm in the tequila was nothing more than a marketing ploy, designed to sell the Mexican made alcohol called “mescal.” American manufacturers of cheap tequila caught wind of it and decided to add a worm to the tequila they produced.

The tequila used in most bars are lower quality and have added sugars or sweeteners to help with taste. Just like any other alchohol there are much better qualities with much smoother tastes. Some bottles go for almost $7500. Im not an expert and dont know all the details of american vs french barrels and what not, but if your bottle doesnt have Añejo on it, it's not worth drinking in my opinion. Those are distilled for at least a year, most for three.
Patrón is the most commonly known, but if it isnt Roca Patrón Reposado I wont drink it.
My brand of choice is either Esperanto seleccion añejo or which is cheaper and used in my margaritas.
Like Jules, it does cause excessive gravity to effect the fabric surrounding my body.
And if you walk into my apartment with a bottle of Clase Azul Reposado or even better, Don Julio 1942. My panties will hit the floor before the bottle even opens

Just trying to help my Yankee friends understand their drink terminology. I agree quality tequila never has a worm (actually a moth larvae often found in agave plants) in it. But tequila is a mescal. True tequila, made from blue agave, is produced exclusively in five regions of Mexico: Michoacan, Guanajuato, Nayarit, Tamaulipas and Jalisco (where the town of Tequila is located).
Larvae began appearing in mezcal bottles in the 1950s, when a mezcal maker discovered a moth larvae in a batch of his liquor and thought the stowaway improved its taste. He started adding “worms” to all his bottles as a marketing strategy. Soon, other mezcal manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon.
Toe has had his share of worms through the years. Taste like chicken. :emot_laughing:

He said he was going tell me when we went to door county that he had a date, but then we did our thing and he chickened out. He's never been shy about dating anybody and neither have I, so I'm thinking he really likes this girl. Which is great for him, but kinda sucks for me.

This started out to ruin my day, but in retrospect, it made my day even better! I needed a road trip so decided to go to Atlantic City NJ. More for the drive than to go to a casino or the shore.
Asshole drivers seemed to populate the road! I know I wasn't driving badly, but everyone else seemed to be cutting in front of me, going the EXACT speed limit in the left lane of a four-lane highway (who does that?), driving next to a truck going up a grade in the passing lane! (who does that?) and...and...and... I guess I needed a road trip yes sir! good idea!
Then I had a perfect lunch (see What Made My Day above) and all of a sudden, my drive home was much better! Oh, there were still idiots out there, I just wasn't as ready to ram them with my 4x4!

Found out our really great neighbors, across the street are selling their house.
I was out front yesterday afternoon riding herd on the cats, when a FedEx truck pulled up. the driver struggled with a large bundle of thin boxes all taped together plus several smaller boxes.
A short time later the neighbor lady came out, grabbed one of the smaller boxes and took it to the back of the house. I crossed the street knowing she'd need help with the big bundle. As she came back to the front and saw me a big smile lit up her face. Ah...I thought, she's glad of the help.
First thing she said was, "I have exciting news!" "We're putting the house up for sale." I felt like my face hit the ground. She went on to explain that they're pulling up stakes and going to travel around the country for a year. Now I'm sure my face was speaking volumes, none of the emotions happy.
Since the pandemic, they're both working remotely and it's been going great. A decision was made by their kids school to keep learning remote too. So, in this digital age, they are free to travel while still working and going to school. Will be doing AirB&Bs, staying here and there. What an adventure and great learning experience for the kids.
I felt guilty later at being so obvious in my disappointment of learning that they're leaving. Upon reflection I realized what a wonderful opportunity this is for them. They're at the right age for the adventure, the digital age makes it possible and with the world in such a flux now is the time to take advantage of the opportunity.
I did see her this morning and told her how happy I am they are able to do this. No doubt we'll have a big send off on the block before they leave. We are a close knit neighborhood.

Texas courts have closed down for the most part, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several smaller municipal courts, however, that trudge on. This is because traffic ticket revenue is an important part of the city’s budget. So these small municipal courts pack people in like sardines, to shake them down for money. And I’m gonna have to drive a long distance to one of these courts today for a client’s pre-trial hearing. On top of that, the prosecutor has already told me that there won’t be an offer made, because my client has a CDL. So the whole thing is a waste of time, an exercise in futility, and quite possibly a health risk. Pissing me off.
Update: I arrived and the prosecutor asked me why I was there. “The clerk told me to come in.” “Next time call me, that is ridiculous.”

Travel trailer in the shop not long ago, they said there was done dry rot on the tires. For a 3 year old trailer, I was skeptical. I looked carefully, and one side mostly in the sun did have some cracks, the other less so. Just made an appointment for 4 tires at ~$500. Pulling that trailer to Montana in 2 weeks, just needed the peace of mind.

I met the most beutiful woman today, she literally took my breath away. She was blonde and lokked like an angel.
Then she told me her story. She married her high scool sweetheart shortly after graduation. He was great at first and they had four children together. Then he started taking testosterone. He changed and became very violent. Finally he left her, but not before beating her severely ...
He broke her spine and left her heart damaged. She is still having surgeries to cope with all the damage done.
I am shocked that anyone would do such a thing to the mother of his children, and he continues to do damage. He filed income tax returns well after the divorce was finalized, and he collected his wife and children's stimulous checks.
She currently lives with her parents.

Meanwhile, no food or water since last night...which means both cats are going without. How do you explain this to furry friends that they're not being punished? They are both all over me today. Stares, pitiful meows and following me to the kitchen when ever I go there, hoping food and water will be restored. Arrrrrrrh!

I always make a suggestion to not eat or drink anything if front of them if possible. Then they feel it's not an punishment but a problem of lack of food. They'll still look to you to provide, but it's more of a can't and less of a wont in their mind.

Because I'm an idiot, I moved to a town in April that is now a red-hot Covid-19 hotspot. About 6% of the population of this town currently has Covid-19. So Mrs. Sweetums says, "Let's go walk the dog downtown. There's nobody there. I can visit the bakery there (which is open)." We were down there before when it was in fact empty and safe, so it seemed initially like a good idea.
When we show up there, it turns out there's a fucking street fair in progress with hundreds of people, only about half of whom are wearing face masks. God help me, it still looked like it would be okay to walk to the bakery and back quickly and stay socially distanced out in the middle of the street if need be. It wasn't remotely possible in practice.
Lesson learned: if there's a gathering of hundreds with any unmasked people, even if it looks like there's plenty of room on the street, stay in your car!

I also live in a small town in Covidland. I am sheltered in and wear a mask when I go out (infrequently). My neighbors, for the most part do not. And my family all work in seriously compromised environments. I’m not worried about getting it outside of the house, so much as I am about one of my mentally challenged housemates bringing a gift home for dad. Besides advancing age, I have three well recognized high risk factors. This isn’t going to end well.

We took my father to visit my mothers burial spot. Daddy wanted to spend a little time there. So Dan and I went for a walk while he sat in his folding chair to visit with her.
Anyways, while we were on our walk through the cemetary, we came upon a spot where a burial had just taken place. The family and friends had left the site and there was a backhoe that was filling in the hole. We walked past, and 10 minutes later came back toward the same spot from the other direction. The back hoe was SLAMMING the back of the bucket onto the site to compact the dirt. He just kept doing it over and over. Then put a little more dirt on and do it some more. It just struck me as so odd. I wanted to yell at the guy to stop.

Things you learned today: A burial vault is used to line the grave before placing the casket or coffin in it, so as to prevent the ground above the casket from sinking in. ... Basically, burial vaults are built to be strong enough so as to withstand the weight of heavy maintenance equipment without causing any damage to the casket.

I run into him a lot at a nearby convenience store, single, younger, upper 20s I'd guess, good looking, and makes me laugh or smile just about every time he chats with me.
I decided why not, maybe we'll hit it off and have a good thing. So I start dropping not too subtle hints about being single, and having absolutely nothing to do tonight, and being free the next couple days, and that the things he has planned sound fun or at least interesting, and then... nothing.
So subtlety wasnt working so I pointedly took my phone out and said, if you need any company, I have some free time.
Nope.
Well now I've got to find a new favorite convenience store :facepalm:

Baby Carrots are fake! Yes indeed, Jules. Couldn't find a post referring to that, so not sure where your comment is coming from.
I do have knowledge of baby carrots from a friend. He was a biologist in California for many years. One time he was asked to investigate the rash of over sized, misshapen and double carrots that were appearing in the commercial fields.
He soon found a bacteria or something that was causing that and came up with a simple, inexpensive and safe chemical fix to the problem.
At the next meeting of carrot growers, he presented the solution. There was also a representative from a company that said they could make a machine that would make cute baby carrots out of the big ugly ones. The growers when with the machine. And thus...the birth of baby carrots

I learned about the baby carrot lie a couple years ago. My dad burst that bubble when I told him that I loved baby carrots because they are so much sweeter than regular carrots.
"They are regular carrots Shy, they're just run through a machine."
"What?"
"They are made up from the crap carrots nobody wants, they are like the vegetable version of hot dogs."
Never tasted the same.

This is new to me as well. I recommend Chantenay carrots
Oh, and by the way, our virtual date we had planned for tonight?!?! Yeah, I'm busy. I'm trying to cope with the fact that baby carrots are lies and my head just isn't in the right place. And no, I don't want to reschedule right now. AND, if you'll note, I corrected my quote above.

Ow, Miss M. I know that kind of hurt.
All I can say is that women are self-selecting because they are much wiser than us men in these matters, and when the answer to me is "no," I know it's really for the best, no matter how I feel about it.
However, men who try to be self-selecting like women are just complete fucking idiots, and you don't want the dick of a complete fucking idiot in you, do you? Of course not. So sad, but just as well. Hope that softens the blow.

F# that! No you don't! Don't you dare change stores because of that. You hit on a guy and he said no. His loss. You were willing to take a chance. I say BRAVO for you!
It's probably more about him than you. He could have had a bad breakup with a hot looking blonde (LIKE YOU) and you remind him of her. Or he just had a breakup and just needs a break, his mind is still on her....I've been in those shoes a few times. It could be any number of things going on in his life. This Covid thing has everybody's mind F#'d up a little.
YOU are a confident woman. YOU are over it. YOU are moving on. Next you see him in the store give him a wave and ask how he's been.

Right, the midwest has been so dry. I'm afraid to see my water bill for July,Aug,Sept. And now I've overseeded the lawn and am running sprinklers 5 times a day for 15 minutes to keep the seeds moist. That will be until germination, then I'll cut it in half. The bill is going to be Aquanormis!

Probably, but that's not where my mind went. Age was the first thing, and then I became extremely self conscious of the 8 pounds I gained. That's right, I jumped on the scale st work and I guess i was so upset about the 6 I had put on I decided to throw 2 more on top of it.

Sandwiched between 3 wildfires. Air Quality Index over 400 (normal is under 50, extremely hazardous starts at 300). Over 900,000 acres scorched, including whole small towns.
More than 500,000 evacuated, including both my sisters, 40 and 80 miles to the north. We are currently at Evacuation Level 1, which means "Be aware of the situation and pay attention." Level Two means pack up and be ready. Level Three means "Get the hell out!"

Wife's so is in for major surgery today... triple bypass. Wife got to go into hospital with him, but has to leave when he's taken into surgery.
We're to get two calls with reports during surgery and a final one when he's out. He's 56 and quite overweight, so cause for concern.
He discovered the heart problem a few months ago when he was to go in to be re-circumcised. Guess they did lousy job when he was an infant. Discovered heart problem when he got a pre-op physical.
It was most fortunate, as blocked arteries killed his dad at just 57...one year older than he is now.
I'm cooling my heels in a mall parking lot until wife calls me to come pick her up.

I had a quad at 56. Best thing that ever happened for me. These procedures have become fairly routine, with a very low rate of bad outcomes. He won’t realize just how shitty he used to feel, until he doesn’t feel... odd that way.
I take it you meant to say your wife’s son? Cause so could mean “significant other,” which is just awkward. Sort of like getting recircumsized in your 50’s. LOL.

Thank you for that. Don't have many actual albums anymore, they've all been scanned along with financial records and legal documents (birth & death certificates etc) and reside in triplicate on three external hard drives. All I have to do is grab the most current one and I'm good to go.
The winds have shifted somewhat and are not currently driving flames in our direction. Possible rain by the end of the weekend will hopefully be helpful.

We went for a 16 mile bike ride yesterday. I have only ridden twice this summer, and nowhere near that distance. But I figured, I can handle it.
Well, my legs and cardio could handle it. I wasn't terribly tired after it, but my wrists and my rear end were extremely sore.
I need a new seat, because my two butt bones (bottom of ischium) was killing me! I was complaining about it from the time I got off the bike until we went to bed. We got home and I opened a very good bottle of bourbon and had a couple of pours. It helped. Just prior to going to bed, I was promised a massage. And it felt wonderful, and eventually led to .... yada yada yada. (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=44669.msg583655#msg583655)

On the news this morning learned there was a shooting near the hospital where wife's son is. A doctor was robbed at gunpoint and when he resisted, robber shot him. Non critical wound to the head.
It was in the parking ramp across the street from the hospital. Hospital and area around there was locked down. Suspect still at large.
What makes it more shocking is it's a very tiny area. Rich people posh homes, etc. Toe will recognize the burn, Edina. I was told by a real estate agent years ago, that you don't move to Edina, you achieve Edina. :roll:

I just found out that Chris Evan's posted a jude pic of himself and I didnt see it. I mean yeah I could search for it, but I'd get bombarded with fakes.
Why does the universe hate me so much
Who is Chris Evans?

What ruined my day yesterday was a Co-worker thinking that working 38 hrs for two weeks of work is greater and better than working 40 hrs for two weeks. This is coming from a guy who is at Retirement age and won't retire, puts off important work for another day, but refuses to do it the next day and still puts it off again, goes and purposely destroys work equipment and has the audacity to blame it on someone else but had admitted to me that he did it, but the company believes him and doesn't make him pay for the damages.

Before you start reading this, please know I am okay.
I went for an early morning jog, as I often do, and a car hit me. He was texting while driving. Luckily we were in the sub where the speed limit is 25 mph. Being hit by the car wasn't the bad part, it was the falling to the ground and hitting my hip and shoulder on the ground, and then my head bouncing off the ground. I have never seen stars like I did this morning.
The car was planning to keep going, but someone five driveways down the road saw what happened and stepped out in the road in front of the car. Then the guy tried claiming he didn't know he hit me. Witnessed called 911. The guy that hit me asked if I was okay. I didn't even respond because I was trying to access my injuries and was still seeing stars. Then in an angry loud tone he yelled at me, "Are you fucking okay, or not?" The man that saw me get hit told him, "Calm down buddy, give her a second."
That's all I really remember and I just laid there. I knew I was okay, but I was stunned. My head still wasn't right. And when I heard the sirens I tried sitting up. The witness told me to stay there. I said something to him. The guy that hit me said, "See she's fucking drunk. No wonder she stepped out in front of me like she did. She's fucking drunk." I ignored him and wasn't about to try to explain. The ambulance pulled up, then the cop. First thing out of the driver's mouth who hit me was, "She's fucking hammered. She can't even talk right." The cop pulled the guy aside while the EMT examined me. EMT guy asked if I was hurt and I grabbed my left shoulder and then pointed to my head. I felt my head and could feel the bump growing. Then EMT girl laid a blanket over me and I then realized how cold I was. I suddenly felt so much warmer.
The witness said, "Your phone is broken, use mine to call someone." I nodded. And he handed me his iPhone. I dialed Dan. No answer. I dialed him again. No answer. I dialed the oldest. No answer. I dialed her again. She answered. I said, "I'm okay, but I was hit by a car out running. I'm putting you on speaker. Translate for me." And she explained my condition that affects my speech and I told her where I hurt and she told the EMT. During that, she woke up Dan. He was there in a couple of minutes. I was only a mile away from the house.
When he got there, I really seemed to come out of it. I wanted to sit up but EMT girl wouldn't let me. I told Dan, "Tell her I'm okay, I just need to sit up." And they helped me sit up. Dan sat behind me. EMT guy was shining his pen flash light in my eyes. EMT girl was monitoring the growing bump on my head.
I happened to look over and the guy that hit me was examining his car. Then I hear him say to the police officer. "I never hit her. I swear. She just was startled by my passing her and stumbled. I was driving down the middle of the road to avoid her." The witness said, "He's lying, he was veering off the road and he hit her. And he was about to drive away and I stepped in the road and stopped him. Then he started banging on the steering wheel knowing there was a witness. And the phone he was hitting on the steering wheel was holding a phone. He was texting and driving I assume." The officer started talking to the driver and I couldn't hear them. Then a fire truck was there and two more police cars. Our city has minute-men fire department, and a bunch of personal vehicles started pulling up with flashing lights.
And then it was decided by Dan and the two EMT's and one of the firemen that I was taking a ride to the hospital to be checked out further. My neurologist came by within an hour. Lot's of people coming in and checking my pupils and feeling my head. Then my neurologist order a brain scan. And I was wheeled off to have that done. Tests came back okay there. 6 hours later I got home, took a 3 hour nap in bed, and here I am. I have a very bruised shoulder. A broken phone. A bruise on my hip where I fell. A bruise on the back of my left thigh where the car hit me. My shoulder joint only hurts when I move my arm, but x-rays say there is no damage there. And I have a very sore head. Still a tiny bump on it, but not like it was shortly after it all happened. Other than all that I am perfectly fine and in tip top shape. hahaha
I think that of the original 9 lives I started with, I'm down to about 4 now. ;)

I have a reflective top. But didn't have it on. I did have on a light gray long sleeve dri-fit. I usually run the sidewalks through our subdivision until I get out to the mainroad and then run a 6 foot wide sidewalk. But I'll cut down in the street if there is a car blocking the sidewalk. I don't remember why I was in the street though. I don't remember where I went from sidewalk to street.
I'm a little sorer today. I'm going to my neurologist's office at 11am. Physically I'm sore, but think everything will be fine. Lots of tender spots.
There is going to be a lot of sitting around today resting. Helping the little one with online classes.

Julie's news served as a wake-up call for me, too. Since the day's are getting shorter and the sun is rising later, if I go out for a run at 6:00, it's still fully dark. This morning, after reading Julie's story, I ordered two reflective running vests with reflective arm bands from Amazon:

Majority of my running is on the street as there are no sidewalks. My road has a ditch so if I'm hit and fall in there, who knows how long I'd be there. I go running around 5:00 am so ita been pretty dark when I go for a while. The only good thing I've got going for me is there are street lights everywhere.

Public service announcement. I got so frustrated by political phone calls, text spam, and the “Social Security Administration” wanting to confirm my SSN, that I installed an app called RoboKiller on my iPhone. What I learned is that RoboKiller will disable your voicemail system, and forward everything to its server. And it promptly identifies all callers not in your contacts list as spam. It took a day or two to identify the problem, but I had a clerk call me to advise they got a recording that “your mailbox is not set up.” I now had a serious issue on my hand. Only took about three hours on the phone to fix it with AT&T. And RoboKiller is disabled. They wanted 40 bucks for a year’s subscription. I want the dollar value of all the time and calls I lost.

Thank you, Obi. I'm feeling good. Really good actually. Just some tender spots. My sore shoulder really isn't hurting anymore. Just when I move it a certain way I feel it.

Actually had a woman yell at me that she’s going straight (therefore she has the right of way apparently), except I was already in the circle and had to slam on my breaks to keep from hitting her. I didn’t have time to yell back that there was no straight anymore, not in a circle.

Winter!!! In Texas??? ??? What? The temperatures dip down into the 50s. Come on!
Minnesota is simple. Two seasons. Winter and Road Construction. :facepalm:
We had 60” inches of snow and sub zero temperatures the weekend I moved to Minnesota. We had 60” inches of snow and sub zero temperatures the weekend I moved back home to Texas.
This was my driveway in Minnesota. Now imagine trying to clear 5’ of snow off this... I still have nightmares.

Imagine that same driveway except at a 30 degree incline down to the road and you have mine. I did shovel snowmageddon years ago, but the more recent snowzilla I said fuck it and shoveled a parking space on the road and walked down. If I don’t park at the base of the driveway before a snow, I have a toboggan course into my neighbor’s living room.

He’d come by at four in the morning, and start scraping that blade all the way down the hill. Sleep was impossible “ssscccrrreeeeeeaaaaach!” At least he’d sprinkle a little sand and salt for me, so I didn’t end up in the ditch on the other side of the road.

Last winter we never saw more than 2 inches in about 3 mild snow falls that immediately melted. I had bought a bag of salt, still sits unopened on my porch.
I wonder if we’ll ever get another ‘big one’ like we used to every few years.

According to my wooly bear friends, it looks to be a harsh one. That could mean it's going to be really cold, or a lot of snow. Either way I'll be in frozen hell.
At least I rent so no shoveling it any of that crap for me :emot_dancing:

The two neighbor kids came over a few minutes ago to say goodbye. As both parents work remotely and kids go to school by computer, they sold the house and are going to travel the country for a year.
They'd been great neighbors and kids super nice. While I'm happy for their adventures ahead, I'll miss them as neighbors.
Now looking forward to meeting the new neighbors. :D

Yeah well, HE saw the skinny bitch and said "Damn" so yeah I hate her
You're perusing KB with HIM?
Was drinking a bit and he was in the bathroom. I didn't notice that he came out while I was looking around. Not like it was hardcore porn playing.
I’ve got a fairly open relationship, and wifey is bisexual, so we don’t have a jealousy problem, I HOPE.
It's far more casual with me and BIG Ben. We talked about it after we first had sex. Doesn't mean I enjoyed his "Damn" comment .

And I usually don't have to say any words. A snap of the fingers gets his attention. I hold up two finger, then wrap them around an imaginary glass and bring it to my mouth and sip from it. Then a smile, a raised eyebrow and a pleading hopeful look. It hasn't failed me yet. Batting one hundred.

I honestly did not think I could hate him more than I did. Confessing and admitting everything, especially the things I didn't know or suspected just makes it even worse. And confirming my lifelong recurring nightmare was real and not just a nightmare and even worse than I thought... I wish he was dead. I wish he could experience everything he ever did to me for all eternity. And if there's a hell, I'll beg and plead that he gets that.

Could they maybe have been emboldened by a president who refuses to call these groups home grown terrorists? Our governor practically closed down our state at the start of the pandemic and at the time thought he went too far but in the long run it proved to be the right move.

NFL Football and a certain husband, certain father, and a certain brother in law yelling at the tv. But in the end, at least the Lions won. The rain and being a prisoner stuck inside the house didn't help. And helping a certain young girl do homework didn't help either.

All this talk of snails and cardboard pizza and bizarro world foods, I just wanted something normal non fancy and actually edible.
Enchiladas. Had it all together and as I moved the pan from counter to oven it slipped from my grip and landed on the floor upside down.
I wanted to scream, cry, and burn my f@#$ing apartment down.
Why in the holy hell is the f@#$ing universe so f@#$ing pissed off at me lately.

Hugs Just one of those days months for you. I drop food all the time. I actually do it so often, I clean my floors before cooking so that when I do drop it, I can pick it up off a clean floor and still eat it.
Since Sunday I have been trying to make a cheesecake. My sister was the cheesecake maker, I never was, but I found her recipe. Sunday's was a disaster - tossed it. Monday's was just as bad - tossed it. I was going to give up, then I saw her little hand written note next to the ingredients. "room temp" It was a reminder for ingredients to be at room temperature to mix right. And my Tuesday cheesecake was very good. So, Sun/Mon-what ruined my day. Tues goes in what made my day.
Yucky weather, more time inside meaning more baking.

I have carpal tunnel that causes me to lose my grip on things sometimes. I never know when it’s going to happen and it’s always frustrating. I’ve lost dinners too. Your reaction sounds how mine used to be. I’ve tempered my responses as I got older, no more screaming punching inanimate objects these days.

On the cheesecake front, there’s some from the grocery store in the fridge, a mix similar to what is pictured, 2 slices left. Problem is I also had 3 bananas about to rot, so a huge loaf of chocolate chip banana bread got made.
Getting fat in quarantine, and with the holidays coming, it not looking to get better.

If I don’t do it in the first hour, they’ll start doing their best impersonations of me cursing and screaming, while I wave my hands around, looking for some ice.

Until I went to culinary school about 10 years ago I didn’t move pans to the oven to cook more. Now I do it all the time, put the pan in the oven, pull it out with a mitten and put it back on the store, and a minute later grab the handle of pan. Those metal handles don’t cool in a minute. I do this every fucking time, for the last 10 fucking years.

I have some very nice AllClad stainless pans, and some cast iron skillets. So yes, I forget how hot those handles are when they come out of the oven. The other thing is reaching deep into the stove to grab something baking. I seem to always touch my forearm on the roof of the oven. Nice sear marks and arm hairs singed. LOL.

"I know it's Saturday, and I know you want to spend it with your kids, but I'm begging!"
So CJ ran a register today. I got free Halloween candy and ice cold Pepsi I'm not allowed to have for my trouble.

Not only did I freeze during my run, when I got back to my apartment, I apparently forgot about the one single step in the walkway from the parking lot. Taking my earbuds out I tripped and in the least graceful manner possible I crashed loudly to the ground. Smashed my knee on the pavement and somehow jammed my own elbow into my ribs. Knocked the wind out of me a little. Of course the first thing I do is reach for my phone to make sure it wasn't broken :facepalm:

I've fallen (or been knocked down) about 7 or 8 times while running. Each one a little more painful. I never claimed to be graceful. ;) Hoping no aches or pains develop over the next 12 hours. The ribs though, ugh. Hate when those get bruised. They seem to never heal.
I don't run under 40 degrees. So, to the basement I go. Weights, but at least twice a week during the colder months I get on the elliptical.

Normally I don't go out running in the cold either, but I dont have any real workout equipment that actually does any good. Normally I pack a bag and head to the gym, but with the covid rampaging around like it owns the joint, I've got no gym to go to. My options are limited.
So far its isnt too bad, my knee hurts more than my ribs do at the moment, unless I laugh or take too deep of a breath. Constantly squatting down so my knee is very sore. No bruising to see, just a small little mark about the size of a dime.

This year, we put candy in individual plastic bags and placed the bags in a large cardboard box. We then placed the box on the front porch with a sign saying Happy Halloween and to please take one bag per trick or treater. So far, it is working nicely.

I went clubbing (meaning I went to Sams Club) and bought 4 boxes of big candy bars. Each box had 36 bars in it. Sadly, we only had 34 trick-or-treaters. :( We usually have about 100 kids. I will be returning 3 boxes of candy to the store.

Thanks, watcher. It shows how important it is to not burn any bridges one doesn't have to. I still wish them well, the guys who laid me off. These Covid times are hard fucking times for everybody.
Still, I'm terrified at the moment. Not for myself, because if it comes down to it, I can live under a bridge, which it would never even come to that. It's the autistic son and bipolar daughter I'm supporting. It's Mrs. Sweetums and the medium-sized dog. Seeing how the safety net is doing in the US at the moment, a lot of people depend on me, and I'm really too old at this point to be considered a reliable source of income.

I completely concur, slave. And although I thought we were all better than this (and I didn't think much of the American electorate after they elected W twice!), ultimately it's better to know where we stand than not know, I figure.
We desperately need civics taught in High School again, and add to that serious critical thinking skills in this day and age. People are bombarded with very sophisticated propaganda all the time these days, and even the dumbest, easiest-to-debunk stuff seems to get good traction. If our democracy is ever to approach being for all the people, we need people to be educated enough to not vote against their own self-interest.
In this hopeful future of mine, I don't expect everybody to agree with me; in fact I hope they don't, because if we're all voting in our own best interests, our diverse life experiences will make this country stronger.

What ruined my day.... I planned on pulling an all nighter watching the elections as I have done every year since I was 30. I even took a nap late afternoon. Dan and I both were cozy on the couch with cheese, crackers, he with wine, me with Angels Envy. And... I fell asleep at 11pm. That's what ruined my day. I woke up at 4am because of someone snoring very loudly.
And they still can't figure it out.
This whole process is a charade. :roll:

I wasn't even paying attention to the election. I didnt want to stress myself out or anything, so I did anything I could to ignore it. I was getting texts from my friends hourly either telling me states that were decided or asking questions.

Thursday night football. Forgot the packers played tonight and god yelled at by my dad. Didn't have the deviled eggs so got yelled at again. Double jinx, if they lose it is my fault.
Oh and I get to hear everybody piss, bitch, and moan about joe Buck, and Troy Aikman calling the game. :facepalm:

I had to cut Dan off from deviled eggs. He's awful to be around a couple of hours later. It's like if it causes that much gas, why upset your stomach and eat them then? Ruined my day even thinking about him eating deviled eggs.

I don't eat them, just taste while I'm making them, and I'm usually gone by the time fallout happens. The only time I suffer is if I bring a guy with me to the party, who partakes in the eggs.

I've fallen (or been knocked down) about 7 or 8 times while running.
Update: 8 or 9 times now. Yesterday, around 4:00. Running along the sidewalk through our sub. One house had a large quantity of leave across his whole front yard. The sidewalk was covered with about 4 inches of them. Dan ran through in front of me and was kicking them up in a joyful goofy way. I just ran through normally and a fallen branch covered by the leaves caught me at both ankles. I went down like a sack of potatoes. As I told Toe last night during our pillow talk PM's, unfortunately the many leaves did not cushion my fall to the sidewalk. Scuffed up knees is the worst of it of my injuries. I'm fine.
And before I get a smart aleck comment from Watcher, Army or MS....yes, having scuffed up or red knees or rashes on my knees is out of the ordinary for me. Goofs!

I was going to say why not just run around the leaves, but that may have put you on the road, and we all know how that may have ended. At least it wasn't worse. Scraped knees are the worst, at least it's that time of year for pants, so you wont get those looks.

What ruined my day?....
Thinking about buying gifts. I normally have Christmas shopping done by now, with only a couple things to get on black Friday. I want to enjoy the holidays from Thanksgiving, right through Christmas and not fret about gifts. I'm so far behind.
The middle one has asked for a Nintendo Switch. $400 for the console. $25-$50 for a game. UGH They have a 60 in 1 arcade cocktail table in the basement, and a Wii on the big screen at their disposal in the basement. Neither are good enough.
The oldest wants a handgun. Yeah, that's a NO! She can shoot mine at the range, but she is NOT getting a CPL.
The little one, I don't even know.
I did get a Block Rocker Portable speaker (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Block-Rocker-Plus) on sale for $129 at Sams Club. Ordered Two wireless mics on Amazon. Karaoke time!! I also purchased for the oldest a Plant Propegator where you scar the bark of a branch and wrap dirt and plastic around it and 3 months later prune it off and it is a new plant ready to go in the ground. She's a big plant freak. I know she'll love it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HWQVBQG

I've been working weekends. Don't really mind it, actually kind of enjoy it. However, this is my first time doing it during football. Last couple times the packers played at noon, I took the day off either switching hours with somebody, or using a personal day. When it is a later game, I'm usually done by the time the game starts or I'll maybe miss the first couple minutes.
I'm working all day today and my dad has been blowing up my phone trying to guilt me I to leaving work early and go to his house. Tradition and all that crap. It is only 9:30 and I've gotten 17 text messages, and he called me twice.
Dad, I Love you, but you are acting like an annoying little brat

My son calling me at 3 o’clock in the morning. Drunk or stoned out of his gourd. All I could get out of him was that he was in some kind of trouble, so I hopped in my car and used the GPS to find him in town, some 35 miles away. Thank God he left the locator on, because he had no idea where he was, nor could he give me instructions on how to find him. When I got there, he was passed out. I dragged him to the car, and took him home. Today, he didn’t even remember any of it. And he totally fucked up his vehicle too. So I spent the day driving him back-and-forth for repairs for which he paid. I’m getting too old for this shit.

The funny thing about kids is, they start fucking up your life almost immediately. They are expensive, noisy, destructive, but they are also lovable, cuddly, and give you a great feeling. They are the best and worst things that can happen to anyone.
But as they get older, the challenges grow. Just as age begins to take a toll on you, the teens years and young adulthood post a new set of problems. It’s easy to send a five year old to bed with no dessert. Try that with a 22 year old you has a license and their own vehicle. The subject matter changes, but the themes remain the same... you’re old, you don’t understand, things are different now than when you were young... YOU'RE CRAMPING MY STYLE.
That said, I have four kids now. The boys, and the two foster daughters. Since they all compete for affection (and treats) they keep each other in check. When one acts up, the other will say “I love you Daddy.” It’s like herding cats most days.

They're unimaginably expensive. Annoying some times. Won't shut up when I wish they would. They're kind, generous, loving, brave, strong, brilliant and they are all my angels and I don't know what I would do without them. :roll:
But when I change my last obligated to do so diaper, which isn't that far off, I know I'll miss it. And when the last little one goes off to school I'll know I'll never raise another baby again. And I'll miss it.

After over a month of dealing with an infection on my leg and foot I'm finally feeling good enough to go back to the gym. My body really needs it.
Huh? What's that Governor? You're ordering a shut down of bars, restaurants, youth sports and...wait for it...gyms and fitness centers. Arrrrrrgh!
Yep locked out for at least 4 weeks.
Yes, I'm disappointed and I was really hoping to start getting back in shape. On the other hand I'm so glad we have a Governor willing to make hard choices and do the right thing.
Be interesting to see how the Republicans respond. They have egg all over their faces now.
After a get together of several start legislators, many came down with Covid-19. To frost the cake, a memo was sent to legislators warning them of possible contact with infected people. Oh...the memo was only sent to Republicans and not Democrats. They got busted. The majority leader, a Republican, has admitted he could have handled things better.
Hopefully that faux pas will tone down their criticism of the Governor's latest effort to help control the virus that's affected us all.
I struggle to understand how taking care of the health of the nation can be a political football.

I have two friends who work at Froedtert hospital and live in wauwatosa. As soon as I heard I texted them both, then called, then texted again. Nearly an hour later before they both finally got back to me. Grateful nobody was killed, scared that the shooter is still out there.

Just injuries and nobody in critical condition. 7 adults and one teenager had been shot. Shooter is a white male between 20 and 30, and that is all that is known right now.
Both my friends were at home at the time, the odds of them being there were pretty low, but I could not convince myself they weren't hurt or something, especially considering how this year has been going. Hope for the best expect the worst.

When I saw it earlier I didn’t think too much about the location, focused more on how bad it was and being glad I saw no deaths reported, but really I just scanned the article and moved on to checking what was happening with the MI Republicans at the WH. I feel ashamed I did such a ‘gloss over’ from being almost used to news like that. I should have made an immediate connection to where it happened and who I know here from there.

Don't be silly Sir. I mean honestly who can blame you. With everything that has been happening, a mass shooting, unfortunately, just fits in perfectly does it not? I myself probably wouldn't have been as invested if I didn't directly know two people in the area. I fear we have all become a little desensitized by all the violence, anger, lies, and death.

Feeling fine, thank you for asking. Slowly got better. By 11am it was gone.
What made my day. The headache disappearing and I finished putting up some Christmas decorations outside. Then I raked the yard free of a bunch of twigs and branches from the woods nextdoor. The windstorm last Sunday littered the yard. Gave it one last cut with the mower. Then put down the winter fertilizer. My yard work is done for 2020. Can't wait for April to come.

Same here. Ran the mower over the lawn one last time to pick up the leaves and run the gas out of the mower. Stored for the winter. Hope I don't have to use the snow blower this winter. Didn't use it last winter.

Never stand behind a dog that is getting on a treadmill for the first time. They may get spooked so bad their anal glands "pop" and you may get hit in the leg with the fluid. You may not need to be told this, but it smells quite bad.

It was training the dog to get used to one. Ours is small and slow, and the owner wanted to train the dog for their treadmill at home for when the weather is bad. Well when that thing popped and spattered my leg, the owner decided then and there, it was not going to happen in her home. Too little too late.

Geese will do the same when chased so don't get too close to the back of one when chasing them. Did not know that about dogs. Dogs using treadmills instead of going outdoors for exercise? :o

When we were young, relatives owned farms and had big get togethers for the 4th of July, so being young and mischievous, we would chase animals like pigs and geese. It wasn't long before we discovered geese had a defensive weapon that shot brown liquid out of their back sides. Of course, messing with the barn cats was no picnic either. ;D

I got along with the barn cats fine, but once running around the barn itself I got clotheslined by the electric fence and received a burn line across my forehead. I was about 5.

My earliest memories of Canadian geese are on the golf course. Daddy used to take my sister and I. There were a few holes I would not play because of all the poop scattered across the fairway. It may have influenced my young mind and is the reason I never liked to golf.
Daddy finally gave up with me and golf and he started teaching me to bowl. I wasn't forced to golf for a few years. During that time, the golf course trained dogs to chase the geese away. My sister would always take treats when they went golfing. And pretty soon the dogs were following her around like her own little posse. We couldn't have pets because I was allergic to them. So those were kind of sort of my sister pets from April to October. She would even go visit them during the winter.

Having played golf many times in South Carolina and Florida, alligators ejecting anything from their rears would have been preferable to the alternative of them chomping down on a hand or leg. They and snakes sunning themselves near where my ball landed was cause for me to definitely move it.
Golf courses maintained a strict eye on alligators. Once they reached a certain length, they were humanely removed from the course and found a new home.

The tribe was supposed to visit New York and my friends again this past Summer, obviously that never happened, but my friend says there's trash everywhere there now. They bitch at you about wearing masks, but there's garbage everywhere in some places because of budget cuts. She said it was better that we didn't go this year. :facepalm: We were thinking MAYBE a trip to visit them for Christmas time. But, no, we're not goin'. Sad. We had such a great time when we went a couple years ago. No trip to Canada for friends either. We're hoping next Summer we can visit both like we planned this year.

Left yesterday on our way to North Carolina to a house we had rented. We were two hours from arriving when the middle one got an email from her college. The Covid test she had taken on Thursday was positive. We called the place we were renting from and told them we were not coming. My father and his girlfriend were driving separate. They continued on while we got a hotel room. And we drove back home today.
Dan and I and the other two are going for testing tomorrow or Saturday.
No turkey. No gravy. No stuffing or green bean casserole. No pumpkin pie. All I had was an apple fritter from a gas station, along with a coffee at 10am this morning. A long 10 hour drive back home. Probably cooking our dinner this weekend.
Nobody feeling sick. The middle one does have the sniffles, but she says her nose always runs when she wears a mask. Every body feeling fine otherwise.
So, 2020 just keeps getting better.

Two long days of driving. 10 hours yesterday. 10 hours back home today. My bottom is sore from sitting.
2 of her 3 roommates also tested positive. So, it is very likely she is positive.
Just stinks that it took them 6 days to get results. But, the labs are all backed up with the amount of testing being done lately.
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry to hear about this. That is terrible timing to get terrible news, but then again there is no good time to get bad news. I'll be hoping for the best for all of you.

Neighbor across the street was taking advantage of the warm weather and was putting up his christmas lights. Unfortunately he fell from his ladder. Not sure exactly what happened, but his wife said he came down hard on his back and then hit his head on the ground. Ambulance took him to the hospital. He has a pretty severe concussion, but I havent heard anything about his back yet. She said he was hurting really bad by the time the ambulance showed up, and pins and needles in his fingers and toes, but could still feel everything.

All the hundreds of times you've heard the song should make it easy for you to answer one question:
What's the name of the horse pulling the 'one-horse open sleigh?'
I've asked over a dozen people in person and not one has known. Some didn't even believe the horse had a name until I told them the answer.
How about it, do you know?

I never took it to be the horses name. Merely a description of a certain body part that was trimmed.

“Jingle Bells” is a classic song sung at Christmas time, but it didn't start out that way. First published in 1857, it was written by James Lord Pierpont, to be sung on Thanksgiving — not Christmas. When the holiday ditty was first printed by a Boston music publishing house, it was released under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh.” When it was reissued two years later, the song had the more familiar title of “Jingle Bells.”
At 19 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts, a plaque commemorates the spot where Pierpont (1822–1893) supposedly wrote the popular song, inspired by sleigh races on Salem Street, while sitting in a tavern in 1850.
I never took it to be the horses name. Merely a description of a certain body part that was trimmed.
The name of the horse is neither “Bob” nor “Bobtail.”
Main Entry: bob·tail Function: noun Date: 1605 1 a: a bobbed tail b: a horse, dog, or cat with a bobbed or very short tail; especially : old english sheepdog 2: something curtailed — bobtail or bob·tailed adjective link http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/bobtail
So “Bells on bobtail ring...” refers to a cropped tail on a racing horse, which was common in the 19th Century.

Well, maybe not ruin my day, but it happened in the middle of a movie.
My daddy called me earlier. He wanted me to know he got home safely from NC. I had known this because I was tracking him with the "Find My" app. Anyways, just before he hangs up he says, "Oh, and this darn iPad won't open." And asks if I've got a minute to help him.
"Is the battery dead."
"No, it's not dead, it just won't work. It's stuck with some message from Apple."
We are on Facetime so I tell him to just show me by aiming the phone at the iPad. He finally figures out how to do it. And he turns the iPad on by pushing the home button. On the screen is the screen wanting his Apple password. He says, it won't do anything. I tell him he's on an app and to go to the homepage.
"Well how do you do that?"
"Just push the button, daddy."
"It doesn't have a button."
"Yes it does, daddy. You just turned the iPad on by pushing the button."
"Jules, you don't understand. It won't do anything, look," and he starts rubbing his finger all over the screen.
"Daddy, the home button. Hit the home button."
"What the hell is the home button?"
"The button at the bottom of the screen. Right under the screen daddy. The one that you just pushed to turn it on."
I can hear him mumbling to his friend Sally in a p*ssed off tone. "She's telling me to hit the button. I don't know what she's talking about."
"Daddy, the front of your iPad has a big screen, and right beneath that is a button."
"No there's no button, but it's got a little indented thing."
"Yes, that's the button."
"Button's stick up, Jules, this thing is indented inward."
I have him on speaker phone, so Dan and the oldest are listening to this exchange. They are both holding back out-loud laughter.
"Okay, so hit the indented thingy."
He does and he gets to the home screen.
"Oh Jules, you'e a gem. Thanks, honey." And he hangs up.
A phone call took about 4 minutes to get him to hit the home button indented little thingy twice. I think it might be easier to teach a chimp sign language than it is helping my dad with tech stuff.
And it was right after that that I poured my first drink of the day.

Diamonds are not even rare, De Beers who controls that market just makes it that way so they can charge fortunes for something that probably wouldn't be worth all that much because they're not rare at all.

Only a fool would pay inflated DeBeers rates for a blood diamond. You can get a synthetic for half or less. Only a lab can tell the difference. Even CZ has improved tremendously in recent years. So I think the diamond industry is going the way of the horse and buggy. Unless you enjoy supporting an industry that uses African child labor to claw its precious stones out of the ground.

I don't even wear a ring on my finger. I don't like rings. My wedding ring is on a necklace that I wear 24-7-365 though. And when I run, I feel it bouncing off my chest. Love that little reminder. It's just a gold band. I didn't want anything expensive. $300 I think, which I thought was too much. I'm not a jewelry person.
I absolutely didn't want a diamond ring. I did inherit my mothers and sister diamonds. And they're sitting in a safety deposit box. Saving them for possibly going to any of the three girls if they want diamond wedding rings. We'll be able to save some money for them and their future fiancées.

McDonald’s in Maryland periodically roll out a crab cake sandwich. I can’t recall if I had one, but they do sell from what I’ve heard. Of course the McDonald’s crab cake is probably around $4 and mostly filler, whereas a crab cake sandwich in a restaurant is likely to be at least $15.
So there’s your explanation for anyone buying anything from McDonald’s, it’s cheap with food science substituting for actual quality. Probably the crab cake is pumped full of various crabby polyamines, monosodium glutamate and other flavor enhancing chemicals.

Dan also mentioned he's never been in such a long drive thru line at McDonalds. He was getting anxious because he was afraid they would sell out before he got to the speaker to order. IMO, that would have been a blessing.

9:30 on a Saturday morning and I'm sitting in my pajamas.
Covid has made everyone lazy. There is no urgency to get up and do something when the state has restrictions in place. Yes we can walk, or bike ride, but the weather is not always the best for that. No gardening, no swimming pool.
Dan and I are waiting for the oldest to get up to go walk. But when I was up at 2am getting a drink of water, I could see her light on upstairs and hear her talking.
So, we sit here in our pajamas enjoying our coffee and tea.
This vaccine better normalize things for Spring.

CJ owns a small business in danger of dying thanks to the plandemic. And it's far more important to spend time on than bullies on an internet forum. I have millions of things to do and way too many people to care for.
It's no big deal. Nothing will change. People will still be bullies and Shiela gets to take over as the life of the party. I just hope she'll be treated better by some people here.
So as soon as all the PM messages are done and all is well, CJ will be done. Didn't want to just vanish, wanted to say goodbye.

Dan picked up some McRib sandwiches at McDonalds. I ate half of one. That's what ruined my day.
But, as for Dan....
It made his day. He ate his, then proceeded to eat the other half of mine.
Current Status: Considering sticking my finger down my throat.
The last several days looking on Imgur, it’s full of McRib ads. Just a warning it you go there.
I know toe does frequently, because I see him post things I saw there. He probably sees the same from me.

Snow fall estimates tomorrow are about 12 inches.
So normally and taken separately, this would all be fine. Except they are happening the same day. I’m driving in the AM, and I told her to pack a bag in case I can’t get back until the next day to retrieve her. It’s a hilly over one hour round trip in good weather.

Finding out someone I know had to have amputations, foot and lower leg on the right and toe on the left due to complications from COVID. Who the hell knew that could happen from this disease? I sure didn’t. And instead of finding out from a friend, I find out reading here? Since then, I’ve seen it on Imgur too, so I could have just as easily stumbled on it there or reading elsewhere. I’m so in tune with events National and the world, yet clueless about my own own community of friends and acquaintances. For a couple months in the spring I would read local obituaries, but stopped by the summer. I wonder how many more surprises are coming?

Covid causes breathing issues which can effect the amount of oxygen to the lower extremities. It had to have been pretty extreme for it to lead to amputation. Can only hope it stops there.

After 5 days off, I'm back at work and it couldn't be a more boring day. Paperwork paperwork paperwork.
It is a great thing we have no pets in for medical reasons, and we only have 4 dogs in daycare. That I am happy about. However, of the 4 dogs we have 3 are basset hounds, and the other is a very senior dog. None of them are play and run around dogs. The basset hounds come out and just roam around with their noses stuck to the floor. That's all they do is just sniff around. I dont even think they are aware that I'm there until I snap a leash on them and bring them back to their kennel. And Rhino just lays there and wants his butt scratched.
I feel like I've been here forever, and my day isn't even half over yet.

I used to get stitches about once a year. If I ever go bald, I will look like Frankenstein.
Hugs. Glad everyone is okay.
I've never had stitches, knock on wood. I've broken bones, but never had stitches. I hear they hurt worse coming out, because they dont numb the area first. When we remove stitches from a dog, depending on number and location, we usually sedate them. Not totally knock them out, but enough to get them sleepy to a point we can work without worry. Other times it's just a local spray on anesthetic. Nearly bitten twice dealing with stitches.
Happy to hear she'll be ok.

I was in the ER early Sunday morning and when I came home was asked if they tested me for Covid. I wasn't tested nor had my temperature taken. Thought that was kind of strange. But everyone had masks on, some even wearing face shields.
No fun having stitches removed when the skin has started growing around them...a tad painful.

Everybody born in the year 2000 will be of legal drinking age by the end of this year...
Another crazy law. Men and women can enter the military at 18 and, god forbid, fight in the many undeclared wars going on, but cannot legally drink until 21. Least they lowered the voting age to 18 from 21.

Guys in my company used to make that joke.
"Hey kid, here is your assult rifle, your pistol, hand grenades, rocket launcher, and bayonetta. Go do some killing. But remember, drinking is unsafe for your age."

They did, I think around the time of the Vietnam War or maybe it was an earlier war for exactly that argument. And when I was 20, raised it to 21 again; in my state that happened in July. You were grandfathered in if you turned 18 prior to the date. So I had friends born months apart and graduated high school together who could drink at 18 and others that had to wait 3 more years.

I joined an online club run by a group of successful writers, and its intention is to help other writers to become successful. My intention was to investigate whether I could become a professional writer, since I learned last year that after writing 500,000 words of content in my first year of writing in my spare time, I might like doing this a little. I was encouraged by the positive feedback and constructive criticism I got on the site from several participants.
Last night, the two example chapters I'd posted up there to elicit criticism got taken down for being too explicit, with a very nice note from a moderator saying that it had happened and suggesting that I connect with other members and and make arrangements to DM them some example content if they were willing to look at it. But how likely is that? I looked at their site rules very carefully before posting, as I always do before posting, and there was nothing posted to warn people away from posting content that was sexually explicit or even violent.
My intention is to mainstream-ify roughly half my output and start selling steamy romance novels with some other genre twists and also a dose of comedy thrown in, but how am I supposed to get there from where I am now? I've asked the moderator for some more specific guidance. We'll see if she responds.
I'm feeling pretty demolished at the moment.

Don't you dare feel that way. It had to do with the content, not your skill of writing.
They're trying to keep the website clean. Ask if you can post a link to your stories here.
:), Jules
Could not agree more. Dont let a site if prudes determine how well you write. I think you're an exceptional writer.
Your writing makes me doubt whether or not mine is good enough. Not trying to fish for compliments so save 'em.

I posted yesterday that I have an appointment for my first Covid-19 vaccination Feb. 1st.
My wife called her clinic and was told they have no idea when they will have a vaccine available.
Minnesota has started offering the vaccine to ppl 65 and older. Tens of thousands were able to get on the overwhelmed website but only 6000 got an appointment. Those people had to stand out in the cold and wind waiting to get in for their shot.
As my wife is physically unable to stand or even sit on her walker that long, we'll just have to count on my being vaccinated and wife staying home to keep her safe.
Here's hoping President Biden is able to speed up the vaccine delivery.

Or at least not keep scores of people over 65 standing out in the freezing cold for hours. The numbskulls. Cheese and crackers! What’s the world coming to?

Cat kicked me out of bed at 4:30 this morning. Followed her to the kitchen where she expects her morning kitty treat. The boy, looking a bit tired, gazed at me from the table, also wanting to share in the treat giving.
Before I could make my way to the cupboard, my bleary eyes spotted something in the middle of the floor. Yep, last night's hunt had been a success. There lay the corpse of the invading mouse. No doubt scouting out a warm place to move his family to.
As we watched TV last night Neville walked in making a weird noise in his throat. As he got closer I saw his mouth was full. Yeah, he was talking with his mouth full. :facepalm: The tail hanging from the side of his mouth told the story... he'd caught a mouse.
I tried to coax the cat near the door so we could get the critter outside. Nope...no go. Mouse got loose and scampered away, cat hot on the trail. This occured three or four more times until Mr. Mouse finally made it under a storage cupboard.
Neville staked out the area waiting for a reappearance, but mouse was a no show.
No doubt mouse guy did come out while we slept. That mistake was fatal. Cat was satisfied with just making the kill. There was no messy gore to clean up. Disposal was easy, yet I was a bit sad a little creature was killed. I know...I know, but I'm a softie for all critters.

Sorry love, kind of stuck on it. When I've got time and the mood to write hits me, I've been going to other projects that I'm not stuck on.
Don't want to rush it and have it sound utterly stupid. Even though it's completely fiction, I need to make it at least a little bit believable.
Problem I'm having with that story is; how do I have the main character who doesn't want to be there let two people have sex on top of her??
I'm sadly one of the least creative people, which I think is part of the reason I love a good story. It's about the journey from Point A to B, about the unforeseen detours and creative shortcuts. The reason the stories where the whole cast goes from puritanical to sex crazed within a paragraph are not memorable is, aside from there being no fun buildup and tease, that it's just not very imaginative. Like you said, even though it's completely fiction, it should be at least a little believable. Anyway, looking forward to reading more if/when the creative juices produce another chapter :)

Minnesota is offering Covid vaccine to a few thousand more residents 65 and older, plus public school teachers. It's to be a lottery with signup starting at 5:00 AM this morning. I was on the site a couple minutes before and kept refreshing the page. Finally a 5:06, the link appeared. I clicked and was informed there were 14,500 ahead of me and the wait was about an hour. Trying to get the wife signed up. I get my first shot Monday at the VA.
Even if I persist and get her on the list it's the luck of the draw. Tens of thousands of applicants with only a couple thousand shots available.
I heard a report Monday that Minnesota has received over 6 hundred thousand vaccine doses. Only 40% has made it into an arm. I'm not understanding why that number isn't higher. Maybe it's the special cold temperatures needed to store the vaccine that's the bottleneck.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Sweetums's critical thinking skills are poor, and she'll believe anything the Mandarin news tells her, and evidence be damned. There are only two kinds of Mandarin news outlets since the fall of Hong Kong: those owned by the CCP, which thankfully she will not listen to, and the right-wing conspiracy theory wackos who are doing the whole QAnon thing.
For a while, she was quiet about it. Now, every night when I climb into bed, she's trying to convince me that Michelle Obama is transgender, as if I'd care anyway if it were true, but you see it's a terribly disparaging thing to say in Taiwanese culture. And that Barack Obama was an illegitimate president, probably because of Michelle Obama's disqualifying status in the eyes of the average Taiwanese citizen's view at least. I wasn't listening very hard to her extremely problematic chain of reasoning, so I'm guessing at that last bit. Like most of these wackos, her beliefs are based ultimately on faith and not any kind of common sense or facts more than "the whole Internet is talking about it," so you can't argue with her.
It's really getting me down. I keep telling her we just shouldn't talk about politics because we will just fight, but she won't even listen to that. She's determined to get me to see the error of my ways. That's why I climbed back out of bed and am writing this and then working on a story. Plenty of work to do there.
On the bright side, I might be able to use this dilemma as fuel for the fire of my latest novel "The Art of Passive Aggression." I intend it to be the ultimate matrimonial hate-fuck saga.

It's the worst with family. I'm very apolitical but have been forced to keep up with some of the goings on as a response to some family members (and some friends) trying to 'educate' me. I think goes back to my late grandparents trying to inject politics into everything.
My father is generally a very warm person who is more than happy to help anybody and everybody in his day to day life. However, when it comes to politics he's always worried about this or that group of people wanting to destroy the country. When you press him on some of the details, he can't come up with a more convincing argument than 'Because they're a bunch of assholes!' Interestingly, he used to be a big Trump supporter but after the Capitol incident thinks Trump is a nutjob, and the subject of Biden doesn't have him getting nearly as annoyed as I would've usually expected.
My mother doesn't care all that much about party politics, but her issue is that she has friends both in 'real life' and on Facebook that love MAGA conspiracies. Then dear mother wants to repeat them to me she thinks I should be 'more outraged' about everything, from liberals wanting to rip nine month old fetuses out of wombs during abortions to Biden wanting to send as many jobs to China as possible. When I try to counter with facts, I'm told I need to learn to respect the opinion of others, and when I point out that some of these opinions are like claiming 4 plus 4 equals 37 and wanting me to accept that as a fact, then I'm told that I've become a very narrow minded and opinionated person. For fucks sake..
What's amazing and amusing is that she was a big Bill Clinton fan 20 years ago, and she supported Hillary back in 2008. But lots of what her friends say has a huge influence on her. Back before the term 'fake news' I used to call it 'Facebook news' with the way that people would just share bullshit stories with each other on social media. I'd warned her about 'Facebooks news' already about 10 years ago, but dear mother keeps telling herself that people wouldn't be saying or posting certain things if they weren't true.
Most of the rest of the family is similar but at least a lot of them are spread out all across the country these days, so I don't really have to listen to most of them anymore.

So, my boss calls me today and says I got a 60% on one of my calls because I didn't follow procedure. I had to think on that a minute, then I remembered the call. The woman called up breathing fire mad, so instead of asking her six questions, I immediately transferred her (Didn't want to piss her off any more) to someone that could help her. That wasn't one of the calls I gave my boss-she went searching for that one. My boss is bi-polar and does weird things from time to time.

Car theft is up about 400 percent with several cases of car jacking at gun point. With cold weather, foolish people warm their cars, leaving the vehicle in attended. Gone in 60 seconds.
Saturday and again Sunday a driver left a running car with a child inside!!! Both children were found safe.
The car thefts are being well publicized. What are ppl thinking, leaving a car ripe for stealing...and with kids inside.

Been a week since I seen him so at lunch today, I wore yoga pants, and a rather snug track jacket. Making it look like I'm coming from the gym. Drove to the cafe he introduced me to, got his favorite sandwich and a coffee, and went to his work. I had to wait at the reception desk as they paged him. He was all smiles and I was trying to be flirty without being too obvious. It wasnt a long time, but he wasn't on lunch yet and had to go back into work. I gave him a hug, and said I'd love to see him for dinner and then turned and left. He was staring when I looked back which is exactly what I wanted to see.
He sends me a text he can't come by tonight maybe tomorrow.
Well f@#$ >:(

I had hoped she would take some time away, and then come back when she was ready.
She checked out about a year ago. Her posts became increasingly infrequent and irregular. I think she was plagued by some demons, and we will never know the true extent of her difficulties. But she certainly had a vivid imagination. I predict she continues to monitor the board, and she will be back in another incarnation. She only announced she was leaving a dozen times before she finally did.

CliffsNotes---Bored and Cold Feet ruined my day.
Dan is gone and I am so F*ING boreddddddd. 11 months of people around me 24/7 because of COVID. And the last three evenings I've had N-O-B-O-D-Y. Well, except the little one. But I'm just not getting a whole lot of human interaction from her with a Disney movie going on the tv. My highlight of the evening so far is playing 4 games of Yahtzee and scoring over 400 points in one of them. I even took a picture of my scorecard and text it to Dan. He's in the middle of nowhere without a cell signal and doesn't even know of my great achievement yet.
But wait, my evening gets a little more exciting. I am having shrimp and cocktail sauce right now. And a drink of brown. but I was thinking about having tequila for some reason.
***addendum***
Oh, and my feet are freezing. Two pair of socks on and my feet feel like ice.

May be jumping the gun here, but I'm starting to think it's bye bye BIG Ben. Ever since I didn't go to his parents for their super bowl party, he keeps postponing things with me. He came over after the game, but since then we hardly even spoken. Kind of always thought the age gap bothered him, so was a little surprised I even got invited.

It’s only been five days. Let the pot simmer. Alpha males can smell a woman’s pursuit, and it can be a turn off. To put it another way, men always want something they can’t have. Don’t take a sandwich up to work for him. When he calls in a week or two to inquire where are you have been, just tell him you’ve been busy. And he will kick it into overdrive. Men can’t stand to be forgotten.

Dallas had planned a Valentine’s Day light show with downtown buildings lit up in pink and red lights, and heart shaped window lighting. The storm hit, the power went out, and Dallas did the light show anyway. I guess they thought it would pick people’s spirits up.

When I would fly into Dallas at night, I loved how the buildings were all lit up. Very pretty. But with many citizens in Texas experiencing blackouts, one would think turning off the light show would be a nice gesture.

As with lots of old people, we're up early. (Aches and pains) We were moving around about 4:30 when flashing red lights went past our front window.
It was a firetruck, usual first responder to medical emergency. I went out and saw it was stopped on front of the house of the block's longest resident. Soon the firemen were joined by EMTs.
The lady has lived here since 1948. Wife moved here a few years later. No idea what happened, but we have a group message service for the block. May here something later. Hoping for good news.

Wisconsin opened up a short season to hunt wolves. In three days they killed so many wolves authorities had to stop the hunting. Conservationists have said the wolf population is not that prevalent and having a hunting season on them will put them back on the critical list. What value is it to hunt and kill wolves? You cannot eat their meat?

They slaughter these wonderful and beautiful beasts so that they dont become so dominant in the area that they begin killing livestock. Also they compete with humans in the hunting of other animals like deer.
They kill a hundred over what they had allotted for. Nearly 300 wolves dead :'(

Post by: msslave on February 28, 2021, 05:23:38 PM
Wisconsin also allowed hunters to use dogs in the wolf hunt. If a wolf kills a dog, the state pays the hunter for the loss. Some wonder if hunters are hoping to lose a dog to collect.
Farmers do lose a lot of calves to wolves, but there's provisions for hunting a wolf that starts hanging around a dairy farm.
I'm sure there's a number of wolves shot by the yahoos up there with the carcass tossed in the river.

Every time a commercial comes on he starts rambling again and talking about having a couple friends over. And there are a lot of commercials because online betting is now legal in Michigan and one of the sites are running tons of advertisements on all the stations and it's been going on for 4 days.

I’m at about 90% recovery from my ankle surgery last summer. It feels like a 100% until I get on uneven ground.
Hopefully he’s fine. My issue resolved itself a week after the initial injury in 2017, but over time I had periods of pain until the pain stayed.

The passing of one of my favorite authors, Beverly Cleary, at the age of 104. (https://i.postimg.cc/KjZsVNFz/12wsvdp1n61fj9.png)
I credit Ms. Cleary in large part for making me the voracious reader I've always been. Her stories of Henry Huggins, Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby (and her little sister Ramona, who would eventually become her best known character) captivated me when I was in grade school.
To this day, I use 'quimby' as a placeholder when a manuscript I'm editing is too long to be finished in one sitting. It makes it easy, with a quick search, to get back to where I need to start up again.
Rest in peace Ms. Cleary. And thanks for all the wonderful stories.

Our girl kitty isn't feeling good. Took her to our Vet early this morning. Still waiting for news. Makes for a long day when one of the family is missing.
So sorry to hear that. Never like hearing when someone's furry kiddo is not doing well. I hope it's just a bug and easily dealt with love :emot_kiss:

I was all excited about my Covid vaccine and decided it was time to start getting back in shape. So I put on a new pair of sneakers, and went for a two mile jog. Huge blisters on both feet now, so I’m hobbling around the house like the older fellow that I am. Doc says to stay off the feet for a couple of weeks to avoid a foot ulcer. Stupid me. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Oh I've done that. Bought a pair of new shoes and thought they were broken in enough only to have my heel torn to bits. Now I invest heavily in moleskine.

My 25-year-old potential side piece cut me off today, for no none reason. I'm 56, have a son 26, and a daughter 22 that she does not know about. I do little things for her, give her an allowance, but every time I ask to take her to eat or whatever on our mutual day off, she balks. She even asked me out and pulled out the day of. She has told me on many occasions that she does not have time in her life right now to spend time with a man and that she is still recovering from a relationship she was in since she was 17. She is very popular at work with the guys young and old and relishes the attention, but claims I'm the only one she texts with or gives her gifts. I'm not a complete fool and realize I'm a decade older than her father, but I'm the youngest looking 56 you'll ever see, with 10% BFI at 6-6, 255 pounds. Be honest.

Half your age plus 7 is 35. I am only a few years older than you, and look relatively good for my age, or so I’d told. My ex is 43, my wife is 42. My girlfriend is 32. So I have experience in “big” age differences.
And the cold hard truth is, regardless of your BMI, unless you have a ten inch cock *and* seven figures large in the bank, this is not going anywhere long term. She’s a child who views you with a certain amount of trepidation. That’s understandable. She’s the same age as your daughter.
Enjoy the fling, but don’t build your life and emotional health around it, because there is a huge worldview difference between 56 and 25, and nothing you can do will change that. Just saying...

I don't know the while story, or anything about her, but my thought is, she is getting some kind of emotional need filled by you. I'm not going to jump on the "daddy issue" thing, but there could be some kind it satisfaction of being around an older gentleman that makes her feel safe, or something along that line. Again, I have no idea if all the details, but I do know that I've hung around guys who I know wanted sex, but I wasn't physically attracted to them, but they were sweet and treated me very well, and I'd playfully flirt with them, but never slept with them. They were great guys to hang around especially if I was feeling a bit depressed.

Yeah, we should probably move this over to a new thread in sex talk, because there are a lot of issues to explore. I know my girlfriend’s father is my age. He abandoned the family when she was young. Then he made a new family with a second wife, and has two daughters who are a professional model and a media personality. I don’t doubt that her attraction to me has something to do with sending a message to her father that she is attractive and desirable, unlike his two other beautiful daughters.

I’ve been going in circles for four or five months in a relationship that has long outlived it’s usefulness and health. But I tend to get emotionally attached to people, and I have a hard time just walking away. I have old friends and lovers that I still follow on Instagram and Facebook that I should just block, but I can’t seem to do it.
Anyway, I am trying to ghost a lover that has become toxic to me, and it’s proving harder than I thought it would be. I find myself reaching for the phone throughout the day, only to remind myself we aren’t going to do that anymore.
One is the loneliest number.

Was at the grocery store getting a card, flowers, a stuffed animal and balloons for my Peruvian’s birthday, plus picking up some groceries when extremely loud retching was coming from back in the bakery. Someone was is distress, so I move closer to see a woman’s head down in a sink obviously meant for thr bakers to wash their hands. One employee was standing at a safe distance watching her coworker retch and vomit in the sink, and another came over looked briefly and walked away. The loud retching continued; it went on and on well beyond the usual’ I feel sick.’ At some point while pushing my cart towards check out and the woman’s retching showing no signs of subsiding, I had the urge to shout, ‘Nothing from the bakery for me today, thanks!’
I’m hoping it was something like she’s pregnant and not something serious.
Meanwhile later at dinner with family dropping nearly $800 for a table of 6, I had the sounds in my head of that woman retching while trying to eat lamb carpaccio, oysters Rockefeller, and poached lobster over butternut squash ravioli.
The one thing that made me feel good was the $200 tip I left for our waitress. I’ve eaten out so seldom this pandemic, so when I do I try and compensate by tipping well. It’s been rough on restaurant workers.

Two restaurants in one place, we did 18th & 21st last night. A take on a prohibition speakeasy, 18th Amendment outlawing alcohol and 21st Amendment repealing the 18th.
I had a Peerless Distillery rye last night after dinner. A Paper Plane rye cocktail before dinner, a beer and pinot noir with the food.
We went back today for lunch; had oysters, a strawberry greens frisée pistachio salad, smoked salmon and for me a smoked duck Bánh mì sandwich. I also had a Japanese whiskey called Iwai.
There’s a few hundred whiskeys on the shelves of the two bars there. You sneak in the back to get to 18th & 21st and listen to live smooth jazz while enjoying your cocktails. It’s your kind of place Jules.
Fuck, I dropped nearly a grand this weekend not including the recent visit to the jewelry store, monthly payments to start soon. It’s eating at home until next month.

After taking care of some health problems with our little girl cat and getting her perky again, the boy has started limping. There's no swelling and he can put some weight on it, but we can tell he's hurting.
Soonest Vet can see him is Monday morning. They did go e me name of another clinic that's open weekends. Thought it best to wait for our regular Doctor, but he seems to be getting a bit worse.
Going to call when they open later and try to get him checked out.
He is right pawed and of course that's the one hurting.

Post by: Shiela_M on April 11, 2021, 03:25:53 PM
So sorry to hear that your boy isn't doing well. Without seeing him, and hearing there is no swelling, my thoughts go to a possible infection in the claw, assuming you didn't notice anything stuck in the paw or see any scratches/cuts, or even a simple big bite. It's getting warmer out so wasps and bees are going to be getting more active. But a sting doesnt generally get too much worse.
Hoping it's something simple or that it goes away by monday.

Neville is back home recovering from being ripped away from his home to be poked and prodded by a stranger.
Nothing seems too serious. One of his paw pads appeared a bit swollen and sensitive to touch.
Got some painkillers and analgesic to help. Appointment with his regular Doctor tomorrow. At 15 he could also be getting arthritis...like me. Not something I wanna share with my boy. :facepalm:

Neville was found to have hyperthyroidism. More than just a sore paw. Have ointment and antibiotics for paw and thyroid medication. He seems a bit more perky after a day of treatment
Thanks for asking. Been with us over 14 years. Dropped nearly a grand last two days. Wife, who's the penny-pincher of the house, didn't bat an eye. :o
The Vet suggested a radiation treatment that would be a permanent fix for thyroid. A $1600 specialized treatment. I said no, that we'd just use pills. At 15, hard to say how many years we'd have to keep buying meds. Told wife and she said do it! Need more info first. Hoping to hear back from Shiela on that.

Yesterday actually.
I saw my mother for the first time in over a dozen years. I had to listen to her lie and talk bad about my dad as she tried to explain why she somehow deserved half of what he had inherited after the passing of a distant relative. The inheritance was supposed to go to my aunt Gale, but she had passed away almost seven years ago from complications from asthma. So when my grandpa's cousin passed three years ago, who was my aunt Gale's godmother, the inheritance somehow landed in the lap of my dad. Now my mother wants it.
Apparently this has been going on for quite a while but I just recently found out about it. Last year when my mother tried to contact me, it was about this whole thing, and since I outright ignored her, she is now saying that I am a liar and a "loose woman with zero morals" I imagine it is to protect her precious husband Jack who use to abuse me. She is trying to get ahead of anything I might say to help my dad win this thing. I'm not worried, as I dont see how she could possibly get any of the inheritance, but I can see my dad just settling with her so she will disappear from our lives again, and we can go back to being happy.
I didn't have to go with my dad to this meeting or whatever it was, but I wanted her to see me there with him. Walk in holding onto his arm, showing my unwavering support for him. I had hoped to see somthing from her, some kind of reaction, but it is impossible to yet an emotion out of somebody who has no heart.
I've been sleeping over at my dad's house most of the week. Just want to he there with and for him. He tells me he is fine, but that is that iron backbone of a loving dad who doesn't want to show me any kind weakness.
Yesterday was Ben's birthday and I wanted to do something for him, but she so easily ruined it all as my entire day was consumed by the efforts of an evil woman. Spent the evening with my dad, then went home, took some muscle relaxers, folded in on myself and went to sleep.
I hate her so much :'(

I haven’t spoken with my father in 22 years. I haven’t seen my mother in 15. Sometimes it’s just best to get the toxic people out of your life, and out of your thoughts. Don’t let mom live rent-free in your head.
I have considerable probate experience, as well as family law. If your parents are divorced, and I assume they are, your mother has no claim to anything, absent a specific bequest made in a will. I can’t understand why she would even be at the will reading, unless she was mentioned as a contingent beneficiary or something.
Let me know if you need any free legal advice. Sending love your way.

Post by: Shiela_M on April 17, 2021, 04:08:50 PM
She had found out about the inheritance through family chatter. From what I'm getting is that she is claiming something to do with child support as my dad wasnt around after they got divorced. The reason he wasn't around was because she made me think he wanted nothing to do with me and would intercept any type of communication between us. I remember being upset when he missed my birthday, and after that I really didnt want anything to do with him. All of it was because of her of course.
She is also trying to get some kind of compensation for having to raise an unruly disobedient child who caused her so much stress she needs constant therapy and medication. Hardships of having to raise me apparently.
I had typed up a statement about what it was like growing up in her "care" but I left out the things my stepfather had done because I don't need my dad knowing that. I also made available a few items from my time in the Army in case that would help him. I figured my time in the military might help against her claim that I am immoral or unethical.
I am trying so hard to put her out of my head. Every time I start crying I have to tell myself to stop because I feel like she wins then.

Unfortunately, child support is one of those things that just doesn’t go away. If there was a child support decree, that money remains due and payable for life (no statute of limitations for so-called “deadbeat dads.”) And it continues to accrue interest. So that claim, in the hands of a skilled lawyer, will result in monetary judgment for your bio-mom. As far as additional money for raising a unruly and precocious child, fuck her. Every child is unruly, and every child is precocious. She can’t go back and retroactively modify the support decree. If she felt she had additional expenses, she should’ve filed a motion to modify back in the day. But she didn’t do it, so she’s shit out of luck now.

I don't really follow MMA but when I saw UFC 261 was suddenly trending, I decided to check out a replay of what had everyone talking. Chris Weidman snapped his lower leg in half when he landed a kick on Uriah Hall, and then, before he realized what had happened, Chris tried to put weight on it. Possibly the most brutal sports injury I've seen. I think even Uriah Hall was shaken.

Since I was on this morning, I've started feeling terrible. I had my second vaccine shot yesterday. I felt fine all day. I slept from 7-9pm last night. Then from 11pm-8am this morning. Woke up feeling okay. Now I've got the worst headache and it feels like I was punched in the kidneys. I've slept the last 5 hours. Now I'm chilled. And thank you to Dan for making me chilli. Warmed me a bit.

Well that's terrible to hear. Well I hope it doesnt get worse and that it goes away soon. Perhaps Dan's chili will work some magic.
I still haven't gotten vaccinated. They opened it up to 16 and older two weeks ago. I'm a bit nervous to get it. Don't want any side effects.

Tylenol, acetaminophen. Do not take ibuprofen, it can suppress the immune system. They should be telling vaccine recipients that, they did me.

Oh, hell, I know of women who aren't 'allowed' to have a FB account or even their own email address. Usually the excuse is that it's for privacy reasons but the real reason is that the boyfriend/husband wants to control with whom she has contact.

My ex didn't want me having a cellphone. If people needed to contact me, they'd have to call him. When he couldn't prevent me from having one for work reasons, he would check it constantly. If I was to give out a phone number for whatever reason, I'd have to give his. If he was around and mine rang I wasn't allowed to answer it. He knew everybody I worked with, but he would yell at me a lot whenever my dad or cousin, or another man called. He wouldnt believe me when I'd say they were relatives. He would sit and listen to most of my conversations too.

Wow :(
I have an 'aunt' (family friend but not blood related) who is not allowed to have any social media accounts or a cell phone, and they share an email address that he monitors. He claims it's to make life easier for her, that she would have to worry too much about identity theft if she had her own FB and about spam calls if she had a cell phone. He's in control of the email so she doesn't have to put up with spam and phishing attempts. If she wants to contact someone on FB, she needs to write the message down for her husband and then he sends it through his FB account.
Sadly, she really seems to believe he's doing her a favor with this approach, but then again the husband has 100% of the say in that marriage and she goes along with whatever he wants, telling herself that he only has her best interest at heart. :roll:

I'm not sure about Canada, but in Switzerland, like Israel, pretty much everyone is in the militia. In the US, the only people not allowed to have firearms are convicted felons. the dems would like to take guns away from everyone, including the military because of a childish dream that we all can get along. Dems point to mass shootings as evidence for the need for gun control, but mass shootings are not a recent event, this goes back into the 19th century. The elephant in the room that no one will address is the need to do something about the mentally ill. In the 1960's a college professor said that he sent teams of investigators into asylums across the country and found them all to be horrible. He lied his ass off, but by the time anyone found out 99% of the asylums had been closed and the states had raised the bar on getting anyone committed that it took a miracle of God and the help of a Governor to get someone committed (I speak from experience here-a sibling needed commitment and it took a team and determined effort to get him committed). The other part of this is that dems like to create "gun free zones". All this does is create a target rich environment for some nutball to come in and shoot up the place because guns make liberals feel nauseous. What's better? Feeling good or feeling safe? (you can't have both).

I honestly don’t think my house has been locked in a decade. I’m not even sure where my keys are. With four adults coming and going at all hours of the day and night, there’s little point in locking it up. I do live in a small town. And I don’t have much worth stealing.

No, though religion is one of the many small examples of how he controls her. He's Catholic and insists they attend a Catholic church, where he also volunteers her to help with bake sales and other fundraising efforts. Yet she's not allowed to receive communion or participate in certain other things because she's not Catholic herself. Both agree the real problem is not that he refuses to attend a church where both could participate equally but rather the real problem is that she's not Catholic. It's interesting that she likes Catholocism but refuses to become Catholic.. I've wondered if that's her way of maintaining at least some control over her life.
Other examples include him moving in his ailing mother to live with them but then expecting my 'aunt' to do all the work until his mother passed away a few years later. Then his daughter from a previous marriage decided to spend two/three years traveling the world to 'find herself' and he volunteered that the daughter's three kids could live with them.. again expecting my 'aunt' to do all the work until his daughter came back to pick up her kids. After that, his ex-wife became terminally ill and he insisted that they help take care of her.. well, mostly my 'aunt' again, until the ex died last year.
They've been friends of the family since before I was born, they come across like a happy old couple (I think they're pushing 80 now), and I'm not aware that there's any evidence that he's abused her physically or sexually. But for as long as I've known them it's always been the case that he makes all the decisions and she has to follow without question, kind of like a cult leader and brainwashed follower dynamic. Now matter what he does or decides, she always has excuses ready and prepared for him.

Just read this article today. My state, a totally controlled Blue state, leads in gun purchases. Sad. We also lead in shootings. Really sad.
These Are the States Where People Are Buying the Most Guns (link) (https://247wallst.com/consumer-products/2020/10/28/these-are-the-states-where-people-are-buying-the-most-guns/#:~:text=Among%20all%20states%2C%20Illinois%20has,4%25%20of%20the%20nation's%20population.)
The Federal Bureau of Investigation tracks gun sales and publishes a list of how many are handled as part of its National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Each month, the figures are reported by state. Nearly everyone put through this system qualifies as a buyer. People who are excluded usually have criminal records. Of the more than 300 million checks that have been done since 1998, there have only been 1.5 million denials. The data is, therefore, the best proxy for U.S. gun sales available.
Gun sales have soared in the past year. They have reached 28,826,449 through September. That is more than the 28,369,750 for all of last year. Growing civil unrest may have prompted people to buy guns for personal and family protection. Another theory is that chaos brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic is a major cause. A new UC Davis School of Medicine study about fear of violence reports that: “The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated persistent structural, economic, and social inequities in the conditions that contribute to violence and its consequences.”
Who is buying these guns? A New York Times analysis shows that buyers cut across almost all demographic groups. Gun ownership has continued to be a flashpoint across the country, as the debate about who should own a gun and what kind of guns should be lawful continues, as it has for decades.
The rise in gun sales from 2019 to 2020 is not an anomaly. The number of Gun sales has increased most years since 1999. At the current pace, 2020 sales will reach over 35 million. Sales first topped 25 million in 2016, 20 million in 2013, 15 million in 2011 and 10 million in 2006. The first full year the FBI kept data was 1999, when sales were 9,138,123.
The rate of gun sales is by no means uniform from state to state, nor is the growth level. Among all states, Illinois has posted the highest sales so far this year, by far, at 5,600,703. That is almost 18% of U.S. gun sales in 2020, although the state has less than 4% of the nation’s population. By a similar measure, sales in California this year are relatively low at 1,183,460, which is 4% of the national figure. Almost 12% of Americans live in California.

I sent out a demand letter, and they send me a copy of his bar tab. He claims he was buying drinks for everybody in the near vicinity, but it’s difficult to make a liability claim when your client had over $300 in cocktails delivered to his table.

There was a group of guys sitting nearby, and one said I should sue the bar. Told him I'm not going to do that for numerous reasons. They've had enough struggles with the pandemic, I love the bar, and I've been drinking. If I'm going to sue anybody it would be the asshole or dumb bitch who spilled his/her drink and didn't clean it up or tell somebody. To many people want to sue right away.
Thanks everybody, definitely going to take the hot bath and wine suggestion.

Must have been a sympathetic injury. I fell in the shower tonight right through the shower curtain slamming my ribs on my side into the toilet. Coincidentally, I too had a few margaritas with Grand Marnier floaters. I slept a couple hours, and now I’m up at 2:30AM my side killing me, just took some ibuprofen and washed them down with another margarita. The only interesting part was, I wasn’t alone in shower. I lay on the floor, and we both laughed for several minutes a little muted as her mom was in the guest room. I finally was able to get back up and into the shower to wash the soap off, and then watched her wash out the brown dye job that started the whole shower scene I had joined in the first place. Then later I got bitched at for not cleaning up all the water on the floor. Hey! Injury here!
Hope you feel better.

Must have been a sympathetic injury. I fell in the shower tonight right through the shower curtain slamming my ribs on my side into the toilet. Coincidentally, I too had a few margaritas with Grand Marnier floaters.

Hurt while having fun in the shower? That should take some of the pain away from your bruised ribs. Mrs W puts a non slip mat down for those moments. 8)

Like a lot of people I am working from home. I have two screens hooked up to my PC. On one screen I have two VPN's and on the other screen six websites. One of those sites is where I do most of my work. So, if you add in KB or youtube, flipping between those sites and my main site, the main site will get jealous and time itself out after just a few minutes. No biggee because I usually catch it about a minute. However, we now have two new supervisors that are watching the motherboard like a hawk. The very second that the main site times out they send you an IM "What is going on?" On top of that, they are listening to calls and critiquing and Monday morning quarterbacking. Maybe in a couple of weeks the leash won't be so short.

Yesterday I was contacted by a guy I served overseas with and found out that one of the soldiers from our platoon had passed away from covid.
Whetherford was a funny funny man. he was from the south and had the thickest southern drawl I have ever heard in my life. Almost to a point where you think he has to be faking it. But he always ready with a smile, and was always ready with a wise crack or a joke.
He is loved and will be missed by so many.

For 50+ years, I had four friends from elementary school that I have kept in touch with. Two men. Two women. The five of us have been through thick and thin, have enjoyed a supportive relationship, but we also give each other shit like only long term friends can. And as the only lawyer in the group, I’ve given them all a lot of free legal help through the years.
One friend died from Covid last year, then there were four. Then another died from cancer in February, and then there were three. Now it’s me and two girlfriends. One of them called me last night to say she has cancer, and is having emergency surgery to remove tumors that look malignant. Really feeling sucker punched right now.

In Badlands today. Some road repair going on. Deal where you have to wait for a pilot car to take you through.
I was nearing the construction zone and a cute young lady was standing there with a stop sign. Knew I'd have to wait until cars going the opposite direction came through.
I noticed the lady was on her phone. I'd been back in the park where there was no service. So got my phone and was looking at Minneapolis news while waiting.
Next thing I knew, the car behind me gave a toot of their horn. Looking up, there was the pilot car ready to lead our string of cars through. The gal was laughing and I gave a wave and mouthed "sorry". She waved back still with a big smile on her face.
As I led the pack of about 20 cars, all I could think was, ' Yep, I just became another asshat on his phone in the car. :facepalm: :emot_laughing:

In 2016 after seeing a ton of buffalo in Yellowstone NP, Wind Cave NP and Custer SP, I got to the Badlands and was tired and headed to the free campground at the west end of the park. A bunch of people were stopped because of the buffalo herd all over the road. I’d seen enough buffalo, so to the obvious horror of all the gawkers, I just kept going in my big Dodge Ram. Just as I suspected, the buffalo saw I was bigger and slowly got out of my way, maybe walleyeing me a bit, but they moved. And, I got to camp and after setting up, got my much needed rest.

Why has eating out become so technologically challenging?
Last Tuesday we spent the afternoon in Baltimore wandering and eating, mostly seafood. Trying to leave, it happened again (as in this happens to me all the time). I couldn’t figure out how to get out of the fucking parking garage. People were lined up behind me wondering what was this idiot’s problem. I had to press the button for help getting garbled responses. Turns out, I had to push my card in upside down. Despite a picture telling me that, I just couldn’t get it, because it was so counterintuitive. All the other card readers you insert the card right side up?
Yesterday at the faux Korean restaurant, I had to (with lengthy instructions from my niece) take a picture of some abstract art on the wall to then see the menu on my phone. Why can’t I just get a fucking paper menu? If my niece wasn’t there, I’d have starved.

It’s why old people have dinner at 4 p.m. at a cafeteria. :emot_laughing:
And the wait staff wears scrubs?
I’m not quite ready for the early bird special of bland tasteless and completely ordinary food. Nor am I willing to have trays of baby food for the elderly delivered to my nursing home room. Just fucking shoot me first. I’ll find a way to bribe a hot girl to bring me something like spicy Thai green curry, maybe that should be an equally hot spicy Thai girl?
But it would be nice to be able to eat out and park even if I forget my phone. Much of the city parking these days you pay by phone, after getting the ap. I honestly hate that shit. If there’s a way to fuck it up, I will.
On another note, what kind of worm are you looking for staci?

What ruined my day.
Real life challenges. Everybody has them sooner or later. Now is my turn. Life never fails to come visit me every few years, or in some cases more often, and put two big middle fingers right up in my face and yell, "F* YOU!!!"
Because of that, I won't be on as much in the coming weeks. I may pop in a time or two for admin/mod stuff, just to take my mind off things. I am on today obviously, and perhaps a bit this weekend only because everyone is out of town except for Dan and I. Very quiet in the house with 4 less bodies that we've become accustomed to for the last year. But, especially in this yucky Michigan weather there is still plenty of time spent cuddling with him and just enjoying his arms wrapped around me. :) It helps make things a little bit better.

So on my excursion home today that I posted elsewhere about, we stopped outside of town at one of the usually better options in what is otherwise a complete food desert, an Italian place where there’s unlikely to be any Italians working. I had an unusual craving for a meatball sub, and they had one on the menu. My Peruvian got crab soup and calamari. I tried the calamari, it was pretty good. I guess frying is easier than using an oven.
So my meatball sub shows up 20 minutes after she got her food. The shredded mozzarella on top was barely melted, some actually wasn’t melted at all. Dubiously, I pushed one of the meatballs further onto the roll to find it literally ice cold, as in it came from the freezer rather than even the fridge. I called the waitress over, explained the situation. She offered a new sub, and I replied this one is fine, it just needs to be hot. Another 20 minutes goes by, and I get it back. At this point I hadn’t eaten all day and dug in. My Peruvian now finished a while ago and was waiting for me. Well in the 20 minutes they had it, it went from ice cold to room temperature on a now soggy bun. I mean fuck, how fucking hard is it for that numbnuts in the kitchen to heat up a fucking meatball sub in a place that has a wood fired pizza oven! Guess what, if the cheese isn’t bubbling, it still not fucking hot! The bun is supposed to be browning on the edges all crusty and good, not fucking white and soggy! And why did it take 20 minutes to get it luke warm when you have a 700F fucking pizza oven!
I regret telling the waitress it was fine. If shit like that ever happens to me again, I’m asking for a manager. It wasn’t the waitress’s fault, although a good one would know what a meatball sub should look like. I don’t mind even in a pandemic if she stuck her fucking finger in there to confirm it’s hot after the initial obvious blunder. I’m fucking vaccinated now even if she isn’t.
Btw, my Peruvian said her crab soup was warm, but got completely cold before she could finish what was only a cup of soup.
Later in the afternoon my stomach was churning and I briefly thought I was going to lose that awful sub right there on the cemetery lawn.
If I don’t get some good fucking food this holiday weekend l’m going to be pissed. Life is too short to eat shitty food.

I craved a lobster roll all day Jed. Ordered it, waited two hours, for delivery. Food showed up cold. And no lobster roll. The driver substituted soft shelled crabs. Which would have been good warm, but they weren’t. And soggy from a sauce.
But that said, your meatball sandwich sounds worse. Foodie hugs.

This is not a day ruiner, as I wont let it ruin my otherwise excellent day. but I didn't want to put this in what made my day, but while I was helping out the neighbors I felt a little somthing in my upper back. Afterwards, I took a shower and now I'm laying on the couch and everything along my right shoulder blade hurts. Hurts when I move my arm, and when I turn my head too far. I can look left and right, but if i were to try and look over my shoulder, either way, it hurts. No big deal, I'll worry about it if it gets worse or lasts too long.
And since this is KB, I'll keep it a bit trashy, because what the hell, so am I. Stuck here on my back, if there was only something I could do to pass the time

The neighbors have two large dogs that they leave in the backyard all day, and sometimes all night. They have terrorized the neighborhood, and broken all of the fence-line around their yard.
They basically reduced my fence to a pile of toothpicks. I recently spent several hundred dollars to have that portion of my fence repaired.
Well, apparently, they really like my dog, because they broke through the back fence on my next-door neighbor’s house, and then broke through the fence between those 2 yards. And are back in my backyard.
I don’t wanna call animal control, because that would traumatize the dogs. But I am traumatized, and I’m basically stuck with them at my house until the neighbors come home from work, God knows when. And I thought I had taken care of this with replacing the fence. And now I’m gonna have to replace even more fence. And all that’s expensive, and these dogs’ owner is a complete derelict.
End of rant.

When the neighbors refused to come to the door, I finally gave up and called the police on a “non-emergency“ call. The responding officers know my neighbors. They went over and talked to them. He came over, retrieved his dog, apologized, and said he’d pay for his half of the fence repairs. Of course, he’s said all these things before. I sent him a copy of the fence repair receipt last night, and he was balking. So I’ll just sue them back into the Stone Age, if I have to. But please, control your pet. The guy works for animal control. I kid you not.

What RUINED your day today?
You read on the internet about how great VPN'S (virtual private networks) are-keeping you safe from google and all that, but my employer uses a VPN called citrix. On multiple occasions today, my computer froze or webpages just disappeared while I was working on them (I have to use 2 VPNs and 8 websites to work). I wasn't the only one having issues with citrix today-everyone was. Also, this is a frequent thing for citrix. So, if you consider a VPN, do your research first.

You do know in Texas, if a person doesn't pay on a lawsuit you can't attach on tangible property, only "non tangible property". So, if he owns a boat, but DOES NOT use it for work, then you can attach that. You can't attach his house, his car, any property inside, etc. unless you can prove that it is a non essential for day to day existence. I have degrees in Constitutional law and studied Texas law in college.

My first wife used to say she wanted to come back as one of our dogs. I think she felt they had good lives. For quite a while we had 6 dogs, and at one point as many cats.
One of those dogs was named Jed. I took his name on-line in 2013 while he was still with us. I had to put him down the following year at 13. For such a big dog, he lived a good long life. Before I buried my wife’s ashes, I spooned some of Jed’s ashes into hers knowing they both would have liked that.
Sorry for your loss of a loved one, as our pets are surely that.

I stand corrected. The reversal was on a procedural issue, not an evidentiary one*. So the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said he can’t be re-tried. However the prosecutor’s “agreement” with Cosby only dealt with the case involving Constand. And there are many others. Truth of the matter is, the man’s almost dead, and I doubt this will ever be initiated against him again.
In Lockhart v. Nelson, 488 U.S. 33 (1988), the SCOTUS held the double jeopardy clause allows retrial of a defendant when the appellate court determines that a defendant’s conviction was based in part on evidence which was erroneously admitted and that the remaining evidence was insufficient to support a conviction. A retrial is permitted to enable the defendant the opportunity to obtain fair adjudication of his guilt with legal evidence.
In Cosby, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that the prosecutor’s promise to not charge Cosby, in exchange for waiver of his 5th Amendment rights in a civil deposition, barred prosecution. It wasn’t a ruling on the evidence, it was a ruling on him being tried in the first place.

Cosby got off on a technicality that would have never been exposed if he didn't have money. I have no doubt he comitted the crimes he was accused of.
I still can't stop thinking "why did he do it?" I'm sure there were many willing women for him to have sex with. I guess he had a rape fetish that he could not keep in the fantasy realm.

For me the whole weekend was a mindfuck. I am sharing with you some personal truths that relate to Breaking up with my ex. To be fair, she suffers from borderline personality this order.
I hadn't heard from her in a few Week, then Friday, Saturday and today she bombarded me with texts. There are three I want to share: 1) to illustrate what I am experiencing, 2) to show her imbalance, and 3) advice.
Message 1: July 3, 10:26 "There's a fucking rape kit with you DNA in it.I won't press charges as I said, but it was a good idea to do the kit for many reasons"
Message 2: July 3: 15:06 "15:04:30 I want to clarify what I said in anger about the rape kit (which not only used for full-on rape only). Firstly, to rescind the fact that it has your DNA. It was too late to get your DNA off my body, so the social worker asked if I could bring undergarments I was wearing that day, which I did not do yet and don't think I will. So, while all those clothes are collected in a bag, there is no DNA in my kit right now. I said I do not want the police to make a deposition. I said that your DNA was in the kit in anger and I wish to take it back. It is my practice now to take back anything I noticed I have said that is untrue or only half true. The kit is as yet pending the DNA from my underwear, but I am not interested in including it because I don't want a deposition. Even if I did include it, that does not mean the kit even goes to the police. There are many helpful services associated with a kit, which contains more than just physical evidence and has more uses than simply legal. And that is why I did a kit"
Message 3: July 4th 11:45 "Just one last note to wish you the best health and a solid recovery. I am in fact rooting for you from an extended distance.'
Is there Something wrong with this picture?
I never raped her, or anyone. Our sex was ALWAYS consensual and I was Always conscious of the abuse she suffered as a child, so Always was mindful.
Should I go to the police and say false allégations are being suggested. Anyone ever dealt with this?
I can't get rid of her and she is ruining my mind, and potentially my life.
I am opening up to you all. Please be gentle.

She said that there is a rape kit.
1) No more conversations with her. Period. 2) Talk to a lawyer PRONTO!! WHAT IS YOUR FREEDOM WORTH? 3) She may have lied about the kit, she may not have. If there is a kit, your DNA will be on a database sooner or later and that is not a place you want to be. Sex offender registries vary from state to state but most of them are really bad. The registry will keep you from getting any kind of job, except one of those manual laborers jobs you get while hanging out with illegals. For real.

I wasnt allowed to go back to work last night to check on the pups in boarding. Even with carpeting on the floor and parts of the walls, there is still a bad echo in there, and those fireworks get them all riled up. I couldn't sit with any of them because of a liability issues and I wasnt cleared to work any overtime so I couldn't do it on the clock.

For the second day in a row I've been shut out from my gym. It's a 24/7 gym where you swipe your fob and the door unlocks.
Yesterday a young lady was at the door and her fob didn't work. Wife and I tried ours, no go. Another guy showed up before we left and he too had no luck.
Figured it was a computer glitch, but no, same story today. No sign on the door explaining why gym is closed.

I had 11 cases set today. I won ten, then the very last bastard got a continuance. It’s like pitching 8.66 perfect innings, and the last batter gets a single on a bunt.
I’ll work on my anger management back at the office.
On those cases you won-did any of them involve discovery? I used to win appeals based on those. Police and prosecution are lazy.
No this was all debt collection for a bank. Pretty straightforward stuff. We have everything worked up with business record affidavits; my legal assistant pulls a pin and hands me a live grenade. But it’s nice to clear the docket.

Two very loud bangs woke me about 11:30 last night. Could hear people talking outside shortly after, but fell back asleep before I could see what was going on.
Saw neighbor this morning and she said someone tossed two explosive devices in their large garbage bin. By the time she got outside, neighbors were gathered and someone was putting out the fire the explosions caused. Garbage was just picked up yesterday. The plastic bin was burning.
What's strange is her bin was several feet off the alley due to the garage being built. My three bins are lined up right at the edge of the alley and more accessible. Go figure. ???

We were enjoying ourselves, and I would gentle ask him if it was good, am I good, he knows I want him to say "good girl" but he just outright refuses to do it. Guess I made too many comments and he got upset. Says it's because he feels awkward because I'm older...
Why feel awkward? I'd love it if you said it.
Feels its disrespectful.
You choke me, slapped me, and have stuck it in my butt, but good girl feels awkward because I'm OLDER? Grow up.

Came home after a wonderful family day out to find that cheeky fucker neighbour who is building a monstrous eyesore of an extension had allowed his builders to dump their huge new window wall on my patio. At 11:30 pm I was hammering on his door telling him what a cheeky fucker he was. I Also threatened to expose him on KB (I may not have said that last bit out loud).
Explanatory footnote: I live in a London terrace house that has communal walls, not a Texas ranch where there are miles between dwellings.
Obi - I take it that the communal walls are not soundproofed like many of the common walls here are?
In my case no, but they are solid brick three courses thick. I think modern houses may have sound insulation but the walls are what we call plasterboard (is this what is called stone sheet in some non-UK DIY videos I have seen?). I will take the brick any day rather than the plasterboard.

I wish that the U.S. would learn that lesson. Most houses in the U.S. are completely made of wood. When I was a kid, it was required that houses had to be 25 feet apart. Now, a lot of new houses are only 3 feet apart. One house goes alight, and so do the next two. And the reason why is that fire departments in the U.S. can be soooooo very slow to put water on a house once they've arrived on the scene (unlike UK Fire Brigades).

Having an expressive and emotional outlet is one of the great things about KB. We all have a story and a history, and I think every one of us has been through the grinder at some point in life, or else we wouldn’t fit in on this island of misfit toys. There is a lot of acceptance here, and a lot of forgiveness as well. It’s cheaper than therapy, and the occasional orgasm is nice too. Long way of saying, we love you Shiela. And you’re not telling us much we haven’t figured out already. And we love that about you too.

My mother was a very bad drunk, probably because those were the days before bipolar disorder was a thing. She got into AA when I was a teen, and it seemed to work for her, along with whatever other meds. One of my sisters is severely bipolar. One of my daughters is severely bipolar and luckily has taken to Vraylar rather than ethanol. She just checked herself into a mental hospital for a brief stay, God bless her, and she's back out again. I haven't entirely escaped it either. I'm on mild antidepressants at the moment. Nothing to compare.
So you see, you're my mother, my sister, my daughter. You're one of us.

Okay, which one did you name frustration and which is depression? Based on my guess, I'd like to spend about half an hour latched onto depression and then switch over to frustration.
But seriously, I take note of how men, to soothe women, must generally do all kinds of complex and challenging things. Whereas women, to soothe men, all they have to do is "here's a picture of my tits" and we're all "purr" in nirvana.
As a man, it suits me. I like to be challenged to imagine great things while at the same time be so easy to please. It's a trait I happily share with my fellow devolved humans.

A rare cool morning, so I was reading the paper on the back porch. Up the steps comes out girl kitty. Just as I noticed she had her mouth full of chipmunk, zip... into the house she ran.
I went after. She dropped the chipper and I tried to grab the cat. Missed, as she quickly snatched up the critter and ran to the basement.
Don't know if it's dead or alive. If dead, we'll know in a couple days (ugh). My fear is it's a pregnant female. :facepalm:

This heavy blanket of smoke is serious. My eyes burn and lungs feel like I've smoked a couple packs of cigarettes. Been over thirty years since I smoked.

A 4-hour power outage on a 98-degree day. And three more hours after that before cable/internet was restored.
On the positive side, it wasn't caused by an overload, it was caused by a drunk driver who mowed down a power pole about six blocks from my house.
That sucks, that kind of outage seems to be a yearly tradition for my neighborhood :facepalm:

There was a local shelter holding a charity walk next to a local park. As I hear it, everything was going great. Good weather, little breezy, and much cooler than anticipated. As its was told to me by four people, they got to the half mile mark, and a stray dog came from nowhere and began attacking pets. It wouldnt leave and would get into fights with some of the dogs, until some people with sticks began hitting it. It ran off, circled around and came back and attacked another dog.
None of the injuries were too severe, the worst one being a bite mark right next to her eye. A few stitches and antibiotics and we got them all patched up.
Police and animal control are out looking for this stray. Hope they find it soon before it hurts anybody else.

We still had to call up our boss, then sent him a few of the worst injuries, none were life threatening, but the poor girl with the bite near her eye had us all concerned, otherwise we handled everything without him. We have two veterinarians that switch alternate weekends on call, so we always have somebody available in case something severe like this happens.

I worry this would happen if mine got loose.
Although when she has got out of the back yard, she ran around front and scratched on the door to get back in. And the other day I found I had not latched the back gate; she could have squeezed through easily over a two day period but didn’t.
She was boarded over the weekend and apparently was fine, very submissive as she has always been while boarded or at the vet. I’m beginning to think much of her aggression towards other dogs (and occasionally people) is about me. She’s fine with people who know dogs when I’m not around. I think her aggression is about protecting me. She views dogs as a threat I need protection from, and the occasional fear of people is about people she worries are a threat to me. She’s generally fine around women, it’s most men she distrusts (my boarder knows that, and never seen a man working at my vet).
Put it this way, you don’t want to get angry with me with her there. I could drop the leash and yell ‘Kill!’, and it would be very bad for that person.
It’s constant vigilance to make sure she has a good life and everyone and everyone’s pets are safe.

That’s, surely hard. Though you know that she means you to be safe, raising a dog with THAT level of sense of protection and safety towards you, would surely be a challenging task, sometimes, atleast.

My theory, When she's boarded, she's not at home, so sue doesn't have to worry about protecting her den. You're not there, so she doesn't have to worry over your safety. So being boarded makes her have zero responsibility and she relaxes her protective instincts.
A while back, we had a guy who brought in a doberman named Diesel. She was a very sweet dog, and loved to play fetch. Got along with everybody and other dogs as well. But she would attack any dog that came into her yard. Once away from her home, she was the friendliest dog.

What ruined my day today? Me being lazy and taking the easy road. I should have gone to the gym and even received a kit from a company my work partnered with to help with stretching and maintenance-level physical therapy. I opened the kit but didn't do anything with it yet.
Sometimes I just don't step up and take care of myself the way I should.

We had a single chicken thigh each as meat in a dinner tonight of beans, corn and fresh grown tomatoes from my deck. She won’t eat the chicken skin, the best part obviously, saying it’s fat. Well after baked over an hour, the fat in the skin rendered into the baking dish making the skin all crispy and seasoned with spices, fresh rosemary and fresh garlic, and not particularly fatty. I asked for her skin, but was told it’s not good for me, and she made a point of throwing it in the trash. So I made a point of pretending to fish it out of the trash to eat it and incited a shitstorm.
Just let me have your fucking chicken skin! We’ll sometimes eat 5 fucking pieces of KFC per person in one sitting, skin included and all fried breading and extremely fatty, but I can’t have the skin off of a second baked tiny chicken thigh? The crushed garlic and rosemary I pushed under the skin and the light dusting of Creole spices made the skin exquisite.

My ex would cook chicken breasts, with the skin removed. And boil some broccoli. She said it was “healthy”. It was dry, tough, flavorless, and absolutely horrible. Notice I said my ex. Just one of a litany of things that made living together impossible. I like my sauces. I like my fats. I like my dark meat. She still serves dry, unseasoned, skinless chicken breasts, according to the kids. So glad I’m not there. A squeeze of lemon is not “seasoning”.

Well, what ruined my day today was like this, Aside from Kristen, I used to be and still am , a member of another forum, Where, I had tried to get along with a person, let’s call her K. So, early May, we met, everything was fine, we had some good funny chats, I was sort of smitten by her, as she was pretty beautiful: in face, body and (after talking to her found out ) personality aswell. Late May, I made a mistake while talking to her, maybe got overly-friendly, (before anyone gets triggered, I had actually did it while talking with K before a few times, only jesting though, and it was also received in good spirits, hence didn’t feel apprehensive.) said something which she thoroughly minded, I apologised, no response whatsoever, still everything was fine, maybe, as we had some occasional interactions only and she was well, significantly more distant than before. Fast forward to 2nd week of June, due to some personal reasons, had to leave the forum for quite some time ( a month to be exact.) Fast forward to 2nd week of July, returned to the forum, K was the first person I messaged, asking for a chance to talk. no responSe For the day. The next day, see her reply to stop bothering her anymore. I Was, well, bummed out AF! So, finally today, ran into K out of sheer coincidence in the chatroom(hadn’t even visited the chatroom for 2 months till today), messaged her asking her to give me a chance to explain, she did, I explained to her that in my one month hiatus from the forum, I had well, undergone a personality change, and only wanted a friendship with her, nothing more, she replied that she wasn’t interested at all, and would block me if I ever messaged her again, (and Maybe she did too.) So that’s that, what ruined my day today. Maybe it was because I thought too much/highly of her, (understatement of the month.) while in her eyes, I was just a bothersome nobody guy. Still, if anyone thinks that I’m the one at fault here, say as you wish as I don’t mind at all.

Vicky, you are an interesting, nice, thoughtful young man: you don't need a relationship with 'K' on a forum that is dominated by sex chat and relationships that last less time than masturbation. And if she doesn't want to talk to you, then for sure the best thing is not to talk to her. You are really nice - if perhaps prone to emitting confused word salads - and I'm sure you will find real friends, in real life and online, if you take it easy.
And if anyone here is looking for a nice friend, I can recommend 'asmodel' without hesitation.

You strike me as a younger fellow, so let me just give you the benefit of my experience. You seem to sincerely have wanted to explain yourself. But you have to understand that the recipient of your “need to explain” is going to view it as a form of harassment. So just respect boundaries. We’ve had problems from time to time here on this board, with members that got carried away, and ended up being misunderstood and upsetting someone. We’ve even had to ban some members, because they just couldn’t quit picking at that scab.
The good news is, there are over 4 billion women on the planet. And you’re gonna find one or more, or a dozen, partners. So I wouldn’t let this one bother you. Sure, everybody hates to be rejected. I hate to be rejected. But when I am rejected, I just walk away with my head held high, and realize that it is their loss, not mine. Following them around afterwards is always going to make you look desperate. And if there’s one thing women hate, it’s desperation.
The other point to remember is that, nothing on the Internet is real. I know you met this person in real life, so that aspect of it may have seemed “real,“ but the relationship was Internet-based, and you just can’t go making life decisions that way. So I’d recommend keeping a respectful distance. People always want what they think they can’t have. And the easiest way to attract people to yourself, is to seem unavailable. I just blew my cover. LOL.

Well, I must admit that you’re correct. that’s very good advice, Considering your opinion about their point of view, that does seem a plausible, even if bad for me, reaction. You’re right again when you say that rejection hurts, it sure does, like a bandaid being pulled off slowly or fastly (whichever is worse for the reader.) well, you’re just a teensy bit wrong about one detail, I never did meet the person in real life, only online. Also your advice about playing hard to get, I get ya and it does attract people, though, to be honest, it sounds more like dating advice than friendship advice heh.

I don't know if you're referring to my post or not, but I'm certainly guilty of showing "too much concern lately about thread derailing."
And I might be the most guilty person on the board of derailing threads.
In this instance, perhaps I overreacted. There was a time here when it seemed that every thread devolved into flirting between members. There's nothing remotely wrong with flirting, but flirting has its place, and when threads on virtually every topic devolved into flirting, it added an air if inanity to the board.
I didn't say it was "a huge problem," and I was simply offering my opinion, which is what one often does on a discussion board.
In particular, I consider those two threads -- Ask a Male/Female a Question (and I hope that someday a moderator will change the thread titles to "Ask a Man/Woman a Question" -- to be very "important," since they are filled with interesting and useful information.
Go ahead and derail to your heart's content, and go ahead and flirt wherever and whenever you want. I've no right to stop you, nor was my brief comment anything more than one person's opinion.

I have no problem with a derailment from time to time, but I will make a post that has a thread contribution on it so it doesn't go too far off track wiping out a small town and hitting a powerplant that knocks out all the power on the wastern seaboard... wait... what was I talking about?
I mean it in good spirits, when I say that the irony is evident, as the meaning of the word derailed in your comment got derailed from a metaphorical sense to a literal sense, and especially when you were talking about the thread getting derailed, wait too much derailed, my mind getting derailed bbbzzzzzzkkk!

Too much concern lately about thread derailing. Being here is about fun. What’s the harm that a few posts are off topic if the people involved are having fun? It will right itself soon enough. We don’t have the master, sorry, mistress of thread derailing around anymore, and I don’t see it as a huge problem.
I don't know if you're referring to my post or not, but I'm certainly guilty of showing "too much concern lately about thread derailing."
And I might be the most guilty person on the board of derailing threads.
In this instance, perhaps I overreacted. There was a time here when it seemed that every thread devolved into flirting between members. There's nothing remotely wrong with flirting, but flirting has its place, and when threads on virtually every topic devolved into flirting, it added an air if inanity to the board.
I didn't say it was "a huge problem," and I was simply offering my opinion, which is what one often does on a discussion board.
In particular, I consider those two threads -- Ask a Male/Female a Question (and I hope that someday a moderator will change the thread titles to "Ask a Man/Woman a Question" -- to be very "important," since they are filled with interesting and useful information.
Go ahead and derail to your heart's content, and go ahead and flirt wherever and whenever you want. I've no right to stop you, nor was my brief comment anything more than one person's opinion.
It was more toe saying something about staying on topic elsewhere that triggered that post, however your post was in my head too from earlier, kinda laying the foundation. I agree there are some threads that should never flitter off in a kitkat sort of way, and those two threads would be at the top of the list, so your point resonated too. I was also having a bad day yesterday.
It does not however sound like my yesterday wasn’t anywhere near as bad as toe’s today was, so I hope he has a good day tomorrow like I did today.

Kind of good news bad news.
I realized that in my epic story Founders, the mature and suave leader of the mining team, who as of this writing is getting down hot and heavy with Colby (yikes!), has been inconsistently named. He starts out as Jacob, flutters between Jason and Jacob, and is nowadays consistently Jason. I changed his name to Jason everywhere, which was only five chapter edits, so not too bad. I like the name better. It's more heroic, a worthy rival to Zach for Colby's (and perhaps others?) affections. It's one of my main jobs in Founders to cause pain, suffering, and problems for our protagonist Zach. Twist those screws!
With 70+ chapters to Founders and growing, continuity problems such as this one are a geometrically a problem. Last week it was Charisse's mom being called Aileen or something, when she had been identified in chapter 18 as Lilac Rainbow. So then I fixed the reference in chapter 70 to inconsistently say Lilac Rainbow and later Lilac Flower. In fact, I JUST fixed another bunch of references to Lilac Flower I found in chapter 70. Now it's all Lilac Rainbow straight through, fingers crossed.

I showed up for court yesterday on the border near Mexico, only the court was dark, locked, and everyone was standing outside in the parking lot. I called the County Judge to find out what was going on... “Oh, the court’s closed for Covid. There should have been a sign on the door.” How about an email or notice on the webpage? I only drove 3.5 hours to be there.
I called the court before I left, to verify the setting, only to get voicemail. Hey! Here’s an idea... NEXT TIME PUT A VOICEMAIL MESSAGE ON YOUR SYSTEM THAT THE COURT IS CLOSED, DUE TO COVID!

That sucks bro, p.s. as it’s the court no can even say anything, as to who they would complain to, the court? Yet, any kind of prior notice was necessary, This shows the flaws inside the system itself. Atleast, assuming that you went by road and through the countryside, hopefully it was atleast a good drive.

I'm not a lawyer, but I do work for a company that provides legal e-billing solutions to corporate clients. That being said, I've figured out at least one thing about the law in my ten years of being in an adjacent market. For all its complexity, jargon, and supposed "black and white" nature, the legal world is one of the most disjointed, inconsistent, and insane fields of work I've ever observed. The procedures are black and white but the way of going about those procedures differs VASTLY depending on local jurisdiction.
It's crazy even when I only look at it from a billing standpoint alone. Law firms bill clients for things that are clearly against those clients' outside counsel policies. Clients make policies to try to get around paying law firms. Law firms come up with clever ways to over-bill clients. (Seriously, I've seen lawyers bill for 40 hours of work for ONE DAY, a feat that isn't possible without a flux capacitor and Delorean, which would also cause a clear time paradox) Clients ignore their OWN billing guidelines and approve stuff they shouldn't but then act like a victim when it comes to their legal budget being blown for the year.
That is ONLY the billing side!
JEEZ, for a business that focuses a LOT on the communication and interpretation of the law, there sure isn't a whole lot of communication going on.

Having driven across Texas before I feel your pain. Hopefully you didn’t hit any armadillos. Not much over there except Amarillo, Lubbock and Odessa/Midland. I guess just be glad it wasn’t El Paso.
Many years ago I had a friend stuck in Glenrio on the NM/TX border for 10 days on old Route 66. He was on his way to school in California and his van broke down. He was in a motel, and once daily someone from the service station drove to Amarillo and he tagged along to buy food and beer for the day. I just checked goggle earth and there’s nothing there now. I can see what may have been an old service station with a motel behind it, looks years abandoned. Four years ago I slept a late Saturday night in the rest area across the interstate from Glenrio. I had left Maryland that Friday afternoon pulling a trailer and made it all the way to New Mexico by the following evening (well, early Sunday AM).

This humidity is finally making things difficult for me. I love the heat, but it can mess with my MS making me sick to my stomach, or cause me other motor skill problems like it did this morning as I easily lost my balance and took a tumble into the ditch. So not only did I hurt my wrist trying to catch myself, but I got soaked by the nasty ditch water. I was so embarrassed wobbling back to my apartment, I though the heat in my face would have made the water steam off of me. I hate when I get like this, because it makes me think that my holistic medicine aren't working and I'm going to have to go back to taking shots. I really really dont want to do that, but if it keeps me out of a wheelchair I'd do it in a heartbeat

I don't need to tell you. Stay hydrated. Dan and I have been going at 6am. Just so much easier. But around 4pm (when I like to run) I'm like, "I feel like I've been a slug sitting around all day." So a brisk evening walk. Don't overdo it though Miss S.
Hey, it's better than a treadmill in the basement. Funny story about working out inside. About 3 months ago, the kids were going through old VCR tapes in the basement. They came across Jane Fonda workouts. I bought them at a garage sale in about 2000ish. After hooking a VCR machine up to the TV, we put a tape in. The kids were cracking up. The next morning all the furniture got pushed to the sides of the room and we all did a 45 minute tape. It was a workout too! I just wished I had my old workout leg warmers like Jane was wearing.
Stay safe in this heat.

Staying hydrated is always necessary , take care, Aside from drinking, well, water, You can also try to include food with high water content https://www.sharp.com/health-news/eat-your-water.cfm (https://www.sharp.com/health-news/eat-your-water.cfm) As for being relaxed, I’m sure you know some music which does the trick for you.

Legs are worse today. They don't feel weak, but my feet constantly drag and my knees keep buckling. I'm able to catch myself for the most part, but that's because I'm grabbing onto nearby furniture. I can also feel my migraine getting worse.
I have my specific diet when I start to flare up so I get plenty of fluids without having to pee every twenty minutes. Stumbling to the bathroom with a full bladder isn't much fun. Dont need to fall and wet myself.
I'm worried it's going to be one of those hands and knees days, where I crawl to her where I'm going.

My dad usually flys over to bring me things and help me out. I dont really need that much help, but he'll bring me food and stuff so I don't have to cook. Last time I tried cooking during anflare up this bad, I dropped my tray of enchiladas all over the floor while moving them to the oven.
Sluggish and heavy would be the best way to describe it. My feet drag, and they don't always end up in front where I want them. I plant it a little to the left or right of where I want them to. So I sway left and right and then I begin to fall and I cant move my other foot fast enough and if I dont have anything to grab onto....

I can%u2019t seem to remember exactly when, but maybe I might have went through %u201C the feet not planting where I want them to%u201D part earlier this year, though it was only to a somewhat minor extent and pales out of existence in comparison to your experience.

Was yet another bad day. I fell several times last night and early this morning, and ended up using a sick day at work. To prevent further tumbles, I literally crawled around my apartment on hands and knees. I spent most of my day on a pile of pillows on my living room floor just so I didnt have to climb up on anything. My dad stopped by once to see how I was doing, and then proceeded to take pillows and throw them at me. Tough love ❤. Then sliced up some pickling cucumbers and doused them with salt (to keep my blood pressure from dropping, that's happened a few times before) so it wasn't all bad.

Well it's ruined several days really. The continuing story of an "incel" idiot who slaughtered five people in Plymouth, UK, including a five year old girl. The authorities are culpable because they restored his shotgun and licence only a month ago after confiscating it following a conviction for assault. Who on earth needs a shotgun in a suburban area. The worst mass shooting in the UK for 11 years.

Losing power is the worst. Especially happening numerous times unexpectedly.
What Ruined My Day... Something is going on in my leg below my left knee cap. It had started hurting a couple weeks ago after runs. It's not a constant pain, but when I go upstairs, at a certain bend point it just goes weak and hurts, like a shooting pain. If this continues I might have to go to the doctor. I hate doctors.

My power has been off for more than 2 hours, same as you, no apparent reason. A little while ago a utility truck was out front pounding at some node for about 20 minutes then moved on. I called just after hoping to hear a recording of what was going on, but the recorded messages directing my input were as if I was the first to report this outage, estimated time to come back on in another 2 hours or midnight.
Meanwhile, my pork shoulder is in my electric oven cooling off. It was supposed to finish there after 5 hours on the smoker. Good thing it’s for tomorrow.
And only 15% charge left on my iPad.

My right ankle still gives me the occasional sharp pain, not the yell out loud type it used to, but it’s there. I think I’m about 95% on that ankle now 13 months after surgery. At least I know when I injured my ankle, El Malpais National Monument New Mexico 4 years ago. It was about 10 years ago hiking down hill with a full pack of about 35-40 pounds that I found myself stepping off drops on that right ankle was better than the other leg; that was when I first noticed my left knee might collapse on me. I can tell now I will at some point need another surgery, my left knee. Occasionally on stairs my left knee feels about to give out. Between that and my right ankle, I hold onto the railing going down which is the safe way anyways. My mom had surgeries on both knees.

El Malpais literal translation is The Bad Country or The Badlands. Lava rock all over is interesting but doesn’t make it nice land for much of anything. And don’t fall, it’s like hiking on razor blades.

Only five? We have three to five a day like that in the USA. Freedum.
My complaint is the power going off for three hours (again), for no apparent reason. Texas can’t fix its power grid, but we can ban abortion and allow open carry fire arms without a license. Freedum. But I repeat myself.
My power has been off for more than 2 hours, same as you, no apparent reason. A little while ago a utility truck was out front pounding at some node for about 20 minutes then moved on. I called just after hoping to hear a recording of what was going on, but the recorded messages directing my input were as if I was the first to report this outage, estimated time to come back on in another 2 hours or midnight.
Meanwhile, my pork shoulder is in my electric oven cooling off. It was supposed to finish there after 5 hours on the smoker. Good thing it’s for tomorrow.
And only 15% charge left on my iPad.
IPad is plugged in waiting like me and my pork for the power. iPhone is currently 41%.
My Peruvian keeps getting up and yelling at me. It seems the utter silence of a power outage is worse than me watching TV after she’s gone to bed. Just shifting in the recliner is heard let alone the fridge opening. And all these irrational demands like, ‘Don’t drink too much! You snore when you drink too much!’

Power came on around 5AM, so off roughly 9 hours. We had left the overhead bedroom light on, so it woke us up.
I got up snd turned the oven on for my pork. It’s still not tender enough when I checked a little while ago. With the power interruption, I don’t know how it’s going to turn out and no good feel for how much longer it needs. I’m in uncharted territory. I’ll check the internal temperature in a little while, but a pull on a muscle was definitely not of the ‘pulled pork’ consistency I’m looking for.

Hope your pork turns out to be every bit as good as you’ve tried to make it be.

I'd gladly put your meat in mouth and savor it. Swallow its yummy juices, but there is no way I'd be able to tend to meat for hours and hours and hours. At a certain point, I just get somebody else to do it for me.

I showed up for court yesterday on the border near Mexico, only the court was dark, locked, and everyone was standing outside in the parking lot. I called the County Judge to find out what was going on... “Oh, the court’s closed for Covid. There should have been a sign on the door.” How about an email or notice on the webpage? I only drove 3.5 hours to be there.
I called the court before I left, to verify the setting, only to get voicemail. Hey! Here’s an idea... NEXT TIME PUT A VOICEMAIL MESSAGE ON YOUR SYSTEM THAT THE COURT IS CLOSED, DUE TO COVID!
Amateurs.
Having driven across Texas before I feel your pain. Hopefully you didn’t hit any armadillos. Not much over there except Amarillo, Lubbock and Odessa/Midland. I guess just be glad it wasn’t El Paso.
Many years ago I had a friend stuck in Glenrio on the NM/TX border for 10 days on old Route 66. He was on his way to school in California and his van broke down. He was in a motel, and once daily someone from the service station drove to Amarillo and he tagged along to buy food and beer for the day. I just checked goggle earth and there’s nothing there now. I can see what may have been an old service station with a motel behind it, looks years abandoned. Four years ago I slept a late Saturday night in the rest area across the interstate from Glenrio. I had left Maryland that Friday afternoon pulling a trailer and made it all the way to New Mexico by the following evening (well, early Sunday AM).
I read that the first time as New Mexico, not Mexico. Don’t I feel dumb.
Texas has a whole lot of fucking border.

I know I've mentioned my half brother before, Jason. Well he has two half sisters. Obviously one is me, through my dad, and one through his mother named Jen. Jen and Jason's mother is almost as bad as mine is, so they want nothing to do with her, and my dad looks out for both of them. Jen and I might as well be blood sisters as much as we care for each other.
Anyways, three days ago, she ended up in the hospital from falling and hitting her head. She very nearly cracked her skull, and has an enormous bruise throughout her brain. Why did she fall? Turns out, she's presently began dealing with vertigo. She got up too quick, got super dizzy, room spun, she nearly blacked out and fell over, hitting her head on her nightstand. Shes going to be ok, but since she suffer2d such a traumatic head injury, they are keeping her very closely monitored.
So I've been running back and forth between my place, her place to help with her mean little hedgehogs, and Green Bay hospital. When I got word, I immediately told my friends I wasn't going on the camping trip, and then called work and took a few days off.

Sending hugs your way Shiela. I lost a very good friend 20 years ago. He stood up, experience vertigo, and hit his head on the corner of a glass coffee table. The corner pierced his skull, and he bled out on the living room floor. He was home alone, and his girlfriend discovered him that way. Just horrific. Hope your sis recovers quickly. I’m sure she’s getting a neurologist to look into that vertigo.

We're actually talking about her going to the same neurologist I go to for my MS, but I'm not really a fan of her, which is why I switched to a holistic approach. Since my flareup, I'm thinking of looking into a new one myself. Unfortunately the neurologist that she's seeing right now isnt available for appointments. So far he's been doing an outstanding job with her. Hopefully she'll be back at home, or at least dad's house by Tuesday. Probably get an in home RN to come check on her.
Thank you all for the well wishes. I need to get some sleep before I take an unwanted nap while driving

Nothing major but a hell lot of minor things happened today… The 3 most prominent ones being:- Learnt that the left lens of my spectacles can pop out at anytime. Found a little piece of glass in my mouth (mostly probably from the jar of the pickles, which were a part of my food) during lunch, spat the whole mouthful out and rinsed my mouth with water thoroughly. A pen exploded (leaked) in my shirt pocket, most probably ruining it and the vest inside for the time being, I keep two of the same pens in the pocket, so don’t even know for sure which one is the defective one.
Seems like the Monday-multiplier of bad luck had me on it’s list today… :-X

Lol, it is actually a clever little thing that you slide into your pocket. It has a flap on the outside so you can easily slide the clip of you pens over it. The only thing is, they look ridiculous, and are associated with geeks/nerds. OP

I was noticing on Friday a waitress with one of those, her other back pocket had her phone. I could still see the shape of her ass even blocked by full pockets which (surprisingly I know) was why I was looking. I asked a friend if she was new there. He said not that new, and then he said he had figured out she was the daughter of a friend. He paused, and then said that made him feel guilty about some thoughts he’d had. Well, I don’t know her dad.

A mixture of what Ruined my day, and what Made my day.
We took the middle one back to school yesterday. We spent part of the day with her today. Being 3 hours from home we stayed at a hotel last night.
What ruined my day...I'm going to miss her. What really ruined my day.....her hugging her sister like I've never seen before. She didn't want to let go. She's been with her sister every step of the way over the last 8 weeks with the treatments at the hospital. It broke my heart. Usually a few tears when dropping someone off at the airport, or in this case college, or other similar scenarios. But this was all out sobbing. She was going to put off college until her sister kicked cancer's ass, but her sister would not allow that.
What made my day.....The love in our family. It was tough dropping her off, so many tears. But it's the right place for her. She will thrive at college. She's got an apartment with a great group of girls and they're all going to do great things. All 4 of them are a bunch of smarty's. So proud of her.
Can't wait for the first football game we'll be able attend at her school. 3 weeks away.

I was recently told that High Alkaline water will help with a hang over. Quick Google Search: Alkaline water also hydrates better and faster than plain water, which helps correct the dehydration caused by drinking too much. the water's alkalinity also helps balance out excessive acidity in the stomach, easing the upset stomach of a hangover. Drinking alkaline water can make a noticeable difference.
We were trying to plan a bourbon trail trip to Kentucky with friends. Sept & Oct doesn't work. So we were looking at Nov. When the weekend of Nov 6th was suggested, Dan said, "Cool, that's Daylights Savings. We can get an extra hour of drinking that night." Our friend replied, "I can't even make it until midnight on a night of drinking. You expect me to stay up until 2am?" I agreed. Yes Shiela, we all used to be better drinkers when we were younger.

Being tied to a chair is more fun than being drunk
Less of the “Fun” you referring to, and more of restraints, like in a prison.
As for thread, wishing to bang my head on a wall, as have probably ruined my friendship with one of my friends, who mean a L0T to me.

I've had a headache most of the day. Oh, the forum never displays my local time so I get confused. That didn't ruin my day but is just an observation.

Well, yesterday, before exercising, I made another batch of beet root juice, not in my standard mixer but in a juicer, brought out just minutes before from what you could consider as an equivalent of an attic, Well, I thought I had cleaned it up well. Well, after downing a big mug of it, the taste was a bit queer from normal, so I thought it must have needed some sugar, so threw some of that in and gave it a good shake, still the difference in taste. Well, in the end it turns out that I must have not done a very thorough job at cleaning it, as now this batch (yeah, didn’t throw it out, still in the refrigerator.) As it’s contaminated with some unwelcomed seasonings, ie, if ground up remains of dead mosquito, dead spider and dust can be called that…🤢🤮
Still: don’t know whether to use it with a strainer, as well, it’s beet root juice, one of the strongest there are. So, I guess it can overcome or atleast neutralise any harmful effects, OR recycle the stuff as fertiliser.

I went out last night. Tuesday trivia night at a local pub, so I put on some simple jeans, t-shirt and put my hair back and head out. None of my friends wanted to go, or couldn't, so I was lone wolfing it. I dont like going out by myself, but I know the owner, (good guy, prior military navy) and I'm good friends with two of the bartenders (also prior military, airforce) so I knew they'd be looking out for me. They do it for all of us, of course, but I feel really safe around them.
Went out, sat at the bar, drinking long island ice tea and answering questions to myself. Was there maybe forty five minutes talking with the bartender before some guy came up and we started chatting it up. He was shorter, dark hair with a short beard, broad shoulders, and had a slight belly to him. Wasn't long before he was flirting hard and I was having fun with him. A few times the bartenders came by to check on me, asked if I needed another drink, said I was doing ok with my ice teas, but the next one I asked for it holy, meaning I wanted it virgin.
We talked for quite a bit, and then I had to use the bathroom. I got up, and after I used the bathroom, snuck out the door and left. Thought for sure he'd say something when I was collecting my things, but seeing as how I was alone, it only seemed natural not to leave it all there. Driving him I felt like such an idiot. The rest of the night I felt bad for blue balling the guy, and then I'd start to think about Ben. I keep telling myself, we're not a couple, and he's free to do whatever he wants. As far as I know, he's running a marathon and a dozen women right now, and honestly I don't really care. I Don't want to think about it or talk about it, but what he does when we're away from each other is really none of my business. But now that this has happened, I'm feeling a bit off about where I'm really at with him.
I've been calling and texting my local friends all day, and all they do is tell me I'm going to marry him, so they are no fucking help at all.

How much time do you spend with Ben on non-bedroom activities? I know you guys sometimes watch movies together, but do you also ever meet up during the day to go and do stuff? Is there any hand holding or kissing? Has he ever gone with you when you went to hang out with your dad?
Doesn't mean you have to marry Ben, but the fact you stopped to think about him might mean you like him for more than the Big part. Of course, then the question is, does he feel the same way?

So here's the 411 on my thing with Ben. I havent met his parents, and he hasnt met my dad. I've met his friends once, but he's never met any of mine. Other than a spontaneous bite to eat for lunch, we dont go out for dinner or go out to bars and pubs together. We hang out watch some movies pr shows from time to time, but otherwise it's just physical.
He's invited me out several times, but I've never gone. I'd say maybe, but just don't go. He wants me to meet his parents, and 8 know this because he has not been shy about it at all.
"My mom, would just love you."
Nope nope nope. I think for me when I did what I did, passed mistakes bubbled up from me cheating and it threw up a roadblock. My own guilt clamjammed me.
As I told Watcher in PM, since he's been gone, I sent him two texts. One asking how his trip was, and the second to see if he was doing ok, because he never replied to my first one. Still nothing.
and now I'm getting sick, not covid, got tested, just a bad end summer cold. Still sucks.
Oh yeah, and then there's Toe😔

I'm still feeling sick as hell, and even though they said the test came back negative for covid, I cant taste or smell a damn thing. I can tell if what I'm eating is salty, sweet, spicy, bitter, or sour, but for actual flavors I've got nothing. I could be chewing on a stick and as long as i throw some hot sauce on it, I could fool myself into thinking I'm eating a steak :emot_laughing:
So I'm pretty confident I got a false reading on that BS quick response test, and I've either got the delta or my vaccine isn't doing shit. So that us the bread of this shit sandwich.
(My own fault, I took my mask off for a bit while I was out at the bar.)
Ben has ghosted me for five days with absolutely nothing to go on. I always figured that this end was coming like a freight train, but I like to at least seen it or heard it and not just get blindsided by it.
We talked for a bit on the phone, he wants more serious, more stable relationship. I told him we already discussed it and that's not what I'm about, so if you want to end it then we end it, he stuttered and sputtered and I didnt know what he was trying to say, so I finished it for him.
We're done, no hard feelings, and maybe when I get better... if I get better... then we can get together so there can be some closure.
Take care, good bye.

Get another test dear. I don’t think you got COVID. Maybe MissB can describe it better, but I think the taste thing is actually taste, not loss of smell from being clogged. I’m perpetually clogged and have trouble smelling things; the days I clear up it’s like the blind seeing. I keep hearing coworkers lately talking about getting colds, and assuring everyone it’s not COVID. It might be something going around because schools have started up.

I can sympathize with him in the sense that I know I would totally develop feelings in a situation like this and want a more serious relationship.. but that's why I stay away from any sort of casual relationship in the first place, because I know I'd fuck it up with my romantic mushiness. :facepalm:
Anyway, he could've handled it much better, in a more mature fashion, and it sounds like you made the right decision.

Though Jed_ is true, as lately I’ve been feeling symptoms recently, but yesterday only when I got an unintentional check, it came out negative, So you shouldn’t dismiss the possibility that you’re not positive, that is you’re negative.

Found out a restaurant on the coast I was fond of had a catastrophic fire two years ago. I have a t-shirt from the place. It sounds like there was an attempt to rebuild, but it ran into zoning issues. I was last there two years ago, probably not long before the fire. It’s now permanently closed.
Not a day ruining event but still noteworthy, I saw what my best guess was a hammerhead shark leap out of the water feeding on something that may have been a pelican. I made the 6 hour round trip to the beach Sunday, just to swim a couple hours in the ocean, since I hadn’t done that in two years, COVID and all. I had seen the pelicans diving into the water about 150 yards out from shore, but then there was a particularly big splash. Always curious, I stood up in the waves and stared at the area. The splash happened again, this time a large body leaped out turning a grey back to a white belly, I saw a pinkish red maw open from a deformed head for a split second, then go under the waves. It was sort of a holy shit moment.
I kept looking hoping to see more, then began alternating looking there and then behind me at the others swimming and on the beach. No one seemed to have noticed but me. I back up a bit closer to shore, mostly to see better, but also because I was very conscious of being over neck deep in the water at each wave. I kept telling myself, maybe a dolphin, except those leap out of the water constantly to breath. I watched for a good 20 minutes never seeing it again. I was concerned about the few people in the water, but also not wanting to be an alarmist. Plus, I just wasn’t sure what I saw, just that it was big, maybe 8-10 feet. And I’m pretty sure it already ate.

You say "A holy shit" moment.
I call it, a "Watch how fast I can get back to the beach" moment.
Must have been fascinating to see. Nature is an amazing thing and to catch something like that. WOW A once in a lifetime thing.
I was in Hawaii and while on a whale watching tour I was witness to a whale breeching the surface. OMG what a sight. We went on 3 more similar tours after that and all we saw was them surface and dive, giving us a nice view of their tail. Nothing at all like the breech.

I'm not coughing as much or sneezing, but my body aches, and my head constantly spins. Feels like I'm hung over 24 hours a day I'm starving, but no matter what I try to eat I get sick to my stomach immediately. Eveything that touches me hurts. I bumped my elbow against the dresser, and it hurt so bad I cried.
Whatever this is, it can go back to hell where it came from.

My new boss went into work today only to get a COVID test. Something is going around, but I don’t think it’s COVID. I think it’s related to school starting, but I think I already said that. Maybe we can come up with a Greek letter for it.

Ah, if only there had been a razor sharp blade, coincident to the water-surface, then that shark would have went straight to Sushi town 🍣 🍱

Another shitty day, Much work to do, no problem though. Though problem is I don’t have enough motivation/willpower to go through with it, plus sleep sched’s been a bit messy lately. And apparently, with me being on leave yesterday, I wasn’t in what my acquaintances had planned (hint: (for the lack of a better term.) A mass-bunk. (Group holiday, for the more sophisticated peeps here.)) So, there I am, stuck in the empty room, (usually with filled with atleast 4-5 people at most of the time.) for around 4 to 5 hours. Good thing though, I had my phone with me, so managed to avoid over-boredom.

I had been writing on the next part of "a whole new experience" and I had been struggling with how it was going to go. I finally got into a grove with it, and I'm not sure what happened or how, but I somehow deleted the whole thing. I had selected a different document, and when I hit delete both documents disappeared.
Now I've got to start all over

Well, that sucks, though who knows, maybe on your second attempt, you may make it even better, and correct any mistakes (IF any) you might’ve made and overlooked the first time.

Try Mobile Deposit, they said. It saves time. It saves gas. Not only that, but it's so easy.
All my deposits are directly into the bank, but I got an actual paper check in the mail for an overpayment at a medical facility. First paper check I've seen in probably five years. So I decided that rather than drive to the bank, I would use the bank app to make the deposit.
I took 27 pictures of it, each one rejected. "Could not process, please try again." ???
Before I could take the 28th picture, the bank app logged me out. That's when I flung my phone across the room (into a soft couch, I'm not a total idiot!).
Screw it, today I drove to the damn bank.

I think a lot of people here in Germany (at least those under 30) only know the concept of checks from legends and history (or the oversized check for PR reasons when someone wins the lottery or a company makes a donation). I know my parents had a check book back then and I think the last time they paid anything by check was over 30 years ago. 8)

My bladder and prostrate problems have resulted in having to have a catheter poked up my little guy.
At my pre-op appointment yesterday, they took out the catheter, filled my bladder and I peed just fine. First time in weeks. So I was sent home tube and pee bag free.
By evening I started having problems again. Went back to ER. A few people recognized me... frequent flyer now. :facepalm:
They called Urologist and he said yep, catheter until surgery on the 21 st.
I was fine with that until they came in to "do" me. New guy in training got to install his first catheter on me! An experienced tech talked him through every step and kept a close eye on the procedure.
He did just fine. After, I told him I took his cherry...no longer a virgin.

When you know the holidays start from the next day, it's okay to stay up late, and sleep in, the following day So I did. Went to bed after quarter past 1, then stayed up there only, curled in the blanket, using my phone for another 40 minutes, (Before CT makes any innuendos, NOT for that kind of stuff...ish, (can't remember as what happened afterwards, made me forget it.)) Finally, went to sleep around 2, my heated phone near my head, plus my tablet on the bed stand above my head, charging (had planned to use it as well, but was too tired to do so in the end.) Fast Forward to 7:20 in the morning, woke up with a really nasty headache. Apparently all that radiation did the job of screwing my head, or maybe it was due to the phone usage, without my glasses. Tried my best, but couldn't go back to sleep. Thought that a cold compress could help, so placed an ice pack on my head, though couldn't feel much effect, due to my thick croppage (yeah, a word of my own coinage.) of hair dulling the coldness. Thought that maybe one and half teaspoon's worth of water drizzling down the ice pack might do the trick. It even might've for a split-second there, but then tragedy struck. The water was so little and the ice pack so cold(it's kept at -23*C), that the water froze, sort of gluing the ice pack to my head! Tried to, painfully, pull it away, but couldn't do that successfully without ripping out a little chunk of hair off my head, releasing blood in the process, other option being taking to the scissors and giving myself an impromptu hair-cut. Tried rubbing salt to melt the ice, but to no avail. Finally had to kick down the door of the bathroom and put my head under the running tap. Was finally free, but now had a dual pain, the old headache plus the physical/muscular/on-skin's-surface/exterior/Whatever (you, the reader, get the idea, right?) pain on the top of head. Some country music helped me to relax enough to fall asleep after 50 minutes to an hour since waking up.

Heard from a friend that the catalytic converter was stolen off her car this week while parked in her driveway.
It's a common crime now, with stolen converters be sold to dealers of used auto parts. It take just a couple minutes for some puke to crawl under a car with battery powered saw to cut it free. Get away driver standing by. Owner comes out later and...VROARRRRRR!!!!!
All the legislature needs to do is pass a bill making it illegal to buy used catalytic converters. Guess both parties are too busy playing games to worry about something that's an easy fix.

While avoiding any section which needs exposure, Can’t a metal sheet be welded on the underside? Ah no, then when the real owner takes it to a mechanic, how’d they (the mechanic) access the underside, sorry stupid question, Actually stupid stupid day for me altogether, please nevermind.

A truly crappy day altogether: 1. The quoted start of the day. 2. A get-together I had thought to go to today, pushed back by a week and a half. 3. A 5 day out of state trip that I had thought of departing for, on tomorrow, got postponed by 2 months. 4. Made Miss S very upset. 5. Workout-wise, am at a dead-end 6. Need to do a certain work (story writing) but am always lacking creative motivation when I sit down to work on it.

We'll be here all day tomorrow. Corn maze and picking out some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. She's got a boyfriend, so he's coming too. Seems like a nice boy. Her first real boyfriend. She had dates in high school, but she said it was just friend stuff. This boy has been since the first week away at college. So kind of serious.

(https://i.imgur.com/vr3pzBN.jpg) Took our youngest to the vet today. She's lost nearly half her weight since first of July. Spent hundreds on blood tests and X-rays with no definite answers. She's just not eating...not even treats which she was a total pig about.
Doc thinks it's her liver. Her skin is yellowish and he said liver felt hard. They wanted to do ultra sound ($500.00 +) then feed her with tubes at $200.00 a day in the clinic for several days.
She turned 14 last spring and we're in no position financially to pay that much. She still is doing her favorite things, roaming the house, going outside and hunting and sitting on my lap at night as we watch TV. Doesn't seem in pain, I'm sure she feels the hunger. Trying a different cat food tonight.
We'll watch her close and when it's time, take that last trip to the Vet. Yes, there will be lots of tears.

I have a cat about the same age, Simba had a bout with urinary tract infection that caused a similar problem. He was a fat cat before and ate a lot. But after the infection he got real skinny and has stayed that way. He is more finicky with his food now, i have to change the type of food often to keep him interested in eating it. I'm sure the vet checked your cat for such an infection but just in case I'll relay a good clue of that problem. The cat will be shy with the litter box, won't pee and the cat will "wet the bed". If you are finding pee spots under your cat when it sleeps then it is a problem with their bladder or kidneys. When Simba had his infection he was still acrive but didn't want to eat, he also was a little warmer than usual. I hope fpr the best for your beautiful cat.

Really sad to hear this. Atleast, she spent all her life with you and your family, making happy memories for all of you, while also enjoying the best company and care a cat could get. I’m with Staci on checking her teeth, as, although I know very little about cats, it could be inflammation in the gums, Still, as the vet themselves has said liver, and has taken care of her always, thus knowing her medical history, I doubt it would be something else. Still, very much sorry to hear. 😔😔 Hope whatever it is, she overcomes it, and becomes healthy once again.

Well, doesn't that suck the big one. Some one told my mother once upon a time that the cure for a cold was garlic sandwiches and hot rum toddies. I think the rum was to make you too drunk to notice the symptoms and the garlic was to keep others safe by making them not want to be too close to you. ;D

Extra day of "work" today and I stopped at the shop for a coffee, and I ran into Ben. It was fine we talked like we used to, but then he started talking about his brother, and how we ran into each other at the pub. I'm in a great mood, and I don't want something like this lingering in my head all day or whatever, so i just asked him not to talk about it. I said he's a nice guy, but he's really young. He could tell by my clothes that I was on my way to work, but before I left, I bought a shot of RumChata for my coffee. 🤫
I have a feeling it's going to linger anyways.

A little birdy sent me a PM that JBRG was a boo virgin. I went to take care of business and someone had already deflowered him. :'(
But wasn't that by someone who hacked the system and boo'd everyone? If so, it's only a phantom boo. MJ, please let us all watch you have your way with JBRG.

First I'm hearing of this. When did this start? And last I looked, I only had 3. Toe, by accident. Eric by accident. And KitKat, not by accident. (We had our good times, but also a few bumps in our relationship.)
Where/when did the other 9 come? Miss S is complaining about her latest romp in the hay, and here I am over here not knowing someone tapped me 9 times. He or she certainly were not that good if I didn't even realize it. Too funny.

Wife tripped and fell last night. She very seldom is able to get up by herself. Now all I could do was stand by helpless, as I'm not to be lifting anything over 15 pounds for a month. Finally she agreed to let me call the neighbors. I was lucky as they were just getting back from being out at a nearby street fair.
They came over and we put a belt from one of her rehabs around her. Using her chair wife was able to pull herself up with a little help from one of the neighbors. She just needed that extra "pull" to help stabilize her as she worked her way back up. Nothing injured thankfully.
The ruined my day part is realizing as the two of us age that being able to stay in our own home may become problematic. It's not much, but it's ours. The two cats are comfortable with their own areas inside and enjoy the time outside weather permitting. Will be loosing one of the kitties to liver problems. She's holding her own as yet. The boy is doing good but need daily medication for thyroid problem.
We've faced a lot getting to this point in our lives and gotten through it. No doubt will be able to handle what ever else is ahead. Just needed to dump...thanks KB for being here.

So, the company that we work for was busy from late January to mid September, then suddenly we were only getting 20% of the calls that we had been getting. It is the slow season. Last week, 30% of the workforce was laid off (because it is the slow season) and the rest of us were told that we're only getting part time (20 hours) for the months of Dec and Jan. A fine thanks for the hard work that we've done this year. I do get job offers all the time, so as soon as the reduction comes in, I'll start talking to folks.

Nextdoor neighbor has tested positive for Covid. She works for the phone company, a job that takes her into people's homes. I know she was vaccinated, so hopefully it will be a light case. Her partner is still testing negative.
They both help us so much... shoveling snow, mowing our lawn. They've also offered to help with anything as my illness progresses. Wife can't drive so going to the store would really help.
To top things off, they were scheduled to leave Saturday for a vacation in Arizona. That's cancelled now.

So I had an MRI done, and I spent some time in with the doctor this morning. She showed me the results and the change in my brain from eight years ago to now is very concerning to me. I had a small amount lesions the last time I had an MRI, and now when I see the images from then compared to now, and see soooo much white, it scares me to my core. I'm already using a cane on bad days, and if I turn my head to the left too quickly, I can lose my balance. I'm worried that at the rate things are going I may not be able to walk in ten years, and that is more frightening to me than death.
After I left he doctors office, I spent lunch with my dad, and then with him nearby I cried myself to sleep. Woke up about an hour later and now I'm just getting on with my life.

Don't worry about me, you've got your own fight to focus on.
They're just going to switch my medication to something else. There are two she was talking about. I was on one before that caused my face to go hot and flush for about an hour after taking it. I did not enjoy that ay all, but the other one can cause blood clots and miscarriages. I'm not planning on having kids, but I'm not too thrilled about the blood clots, so it looks like I'll be going back to the hot face. She did say hat taking an aspirin half hour before the pill could help prevent that. Wish I had known that before.
Just waiting on insurance approval. They're cheaper than what I'm taking now so it should make them happy.

The chilling account of the horror during a Christmas parade in Wisconsin has shocked everyone who heard of it. Now police are revealed information about the driver of the SUV. He was fleeing the scene of a domestic dispute before police arrived. The police were not in pursuit at the time. He just chose to crash through barriers a mow down parade marchers with out regard to the consequences. He has a lengthy criminal record with two active cases still pending.
Guess the only good thing to come out of this is he'll never see the light of day again. https://www.startribune.com/police-parade-crash-suspect-was-in-a-domestic-disturbance/600119604/

Note to Obi: Shiela means $3 per gallon, not liter. (Oops, I mean litre :D).
I've been paying close to $3.50 per gallon since late January. Sure glad I bought a hybrid last year. Mileage went from 19mpg to just about 50.

Its been awhile since i bought petrol gas in the USA, seem to remember it was about $1.5 a gallon. The UK authorites are forcing us into a panic for electric cars when the infrastructure just can't cope and where will their tax pounds come from then? Just because they want to be seen to be green. There is no way my residential situation can cater for an electric car right now. The prices of second hand petrol cars is escalating the nearer we get to the point of banning new petrol driven ones. I saw a BBC program last night about the human cost of mining cobalt for the batteries :o

I drive a dodge charger sxt Which is one above the standard car. V6 and I'm getting 20mpg with it. More importantly, it has all wheel drive so right now with two inches of snow, I feel much safe.

The ever increasing price of petrol in the UK. Now paying £1.45 a LITRE. That's almost $8 a US gallon :( :( :(
About the same here in Germany since January. Price usually varies between 1.65 -1.75 € depending on the time of day. Cheaper in the evening, more expensive in the morning.

I want a Dodge Challenger so fully loaded I get worse gas mileage than my Dodge Ram while pulling my travel trailer. I’d do the green thing and drive a hybrid most of the time, but about twice a month I’d rev up that Challenger.
Woo for the Charger my dear. I collect the die cast Dodge muscle cars. I’d collect the real thing if I won the Powerball.

Had our monthly photo club meeting this morning. Still not able to meet in the state park due to continued Covid restrictions.
One member goes to the South Dakota Badlands this time of the year. He photographs the big horn sheep, mainly the Rams butting heads. He heard from the park that some disease has swept through the herd of nearly 250, killing 60 percent of them. The remaining are still in danger.
I've enjoyed the bighorns whenever I've visited the park. Makes me sad to hear of the loss of these animals.

So the mother-in-law needed to go to a hair appointment. “Where?” “Wheaton.” “Wheaton is an hour away, why Wheaton?” “They speak Spanish there, and she’s been there before.”
So a half hour to pick her up, then an hour to Wheaton, and then the translations begin. Once in Wheaton, I ask, “OK, now where?” “She says she thinks she’ll recognize it.” “Huh, she doesn’t have an address?” “No.” “OK, what’s it called?” “She doesn’t remember.” “Then how did she make the appointment?” “She didn’t make an appointment.” “She’s doing a walk in? How am I supposed to find this place?” “She thinks it’s near Macy’s.”
We drive around Macy’s which is largely surrounded by a covered garage. I finally stop and check my phone. Within a short few block radius there are at least 25 hair salons.
“Does it matter which one?” ‘Yes, she wants someone named Betty to cut her hair.” “How am I supposed to find this place?” “She says it’s in a place where there’s more than one salon.”
So on my phone I find a nearby strip mall with 3 salons. We go there and I park and ask, “Do any of these look familiar?” “She’s not sure. She was last here 2 years ago.” “Seriously?”
At this point even my Peruvian is frustrated with her momma. So we walk in the first place and they ask, “Does Betty work here?” “Yeah, she’s in the back.”
25 fucking hair salons in fucking Wheaton, and the first one we try has the famous Betty (and not near Macy’s). Sarita’s Salon, right next to Sarita’s Chicken Restaurant, I shit you not, as Sarita is apparently quite the entrepreneur. And any guy waiting for a woman to get her hair done knows it’s 2-3 hours, so I went and got drunk. . . . . in the middle of the day. I had to walk a block to find a bar and sent my Peruvian a pin to lead her there after she got her mom situated. I was finishing my 2nd beer by the time she showed, and we ordered a couple of tacos each and more beers.
It was dark by the time we got home. A whole fucking Saturday spent getting her momma’s hair done.

Based on being married twice and not unfamiliar with the process, my skepticism was extremely high as well about the ‘walk in’. It probably has something to do with there being 25 hair salons nearly within walking distance, with just as many young men inside as women (no older men). I hadn’t walked around Wheaton in years, the businesses are all owned by Guatemalans, Salvadorans, Hondurans, Peruvians and Vietnamese. The signs above businesses alternate between ‘Salon’ and ‘Pollo’. We had dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant.
It wasn’t that bad of a day, actually got comical at some point, and then there was that unbelievable luck of immediately finding the famous Betty in the first place. Plus, I’m fairly happy eating tacos and drinking beer with Fútbol on while eyeing Latinas. We ended up in a place called ‘Caliente’, where they had the sign below which translates as ‘Please don’t get the waitresses drunk.’

So I just ran to the store real quick for confectioner's sugar and food coloring. As I pulled up to the stop sign I started to slide. We had a lot of snow and then it started to melt, and then it go super cold, so my street is nearly glare ice. My street is one of those last priority types of roads, so by the time the plows finally come through its already all packed down from local traffic which just adds to the slipperiness.
Anyways I start to slide but I wasnt going all that fast so my forward motion stopped, but because the road is on a hill, gravity made me keep sliding, but not forward. I started to slide to my left which brought me into the on coming traffic side I literally can't do anything except hope somebody doesn't decided to turn down my street. I can't turn the wheel and drive forward because that would take me into cross traffic, so I just wait until I hit the curb, but my back tire finally hits a spot with no ice, and the back of my car stopped sliding, but my front end just kept on going. So I hear my dad yelling in my head, and pop the car in reverse and start to back up. I get worried that somebody is behind me but then i realize i am completely in the other lane, so I'm traveling in the right direction, just facing the wrong way. I back up until I get to a spot where i can pull foward and try to get back in the right side of the road. I figure I'm just going to slide again, but i can't just sit there. Luckily with all wheel drive and a light foot, I'm able to get back on the correct side and stop by the curb. I look out my window, and there is two guys sitting there watching me, and they both start clapping. I laugh and wave and then finally drive off. I favor the right side so it doesnt happen again.
On my way back home, I pass those to guys again, and they are throwing snow salt all over the road next to the stop sign. I wave a quick thank you and now I'm back home safe and sound.
Stupid snow and ice 😡🤬

Glad you made it through unscathed. And impressing people with your driving skills as well. The whole time I'm reading this, I'm remembering a video a friend posted on FB last week where he was skating on the street in front of his house. Snow, slightly packed down followed by freezing rain gave him enough ice to skate on without damaging the skate blades.

And a woo for the car control. Similar thing happened to me last week, but luckily on a small residential cul-de-sac in a rear wheel drive. Just had to leave the car at the bottom of a hill until it thawed later in the day.

We lost a sweet canine friend a couple days ago. Got a text about it yesterday. Jasmine, a Bernese Mountain Dog would stop by with her "mom" on their walks to visit. My wife and Jas got along so well. (bacon may have been involved) (https://i.imgur.com/GeXV2Ez.jpg) At 150 pounds, she took up most of the front porch. Her visits were always the highlight of the day.
She started having problems getting around so it's been awhile since she visited. Wife did go to their house this summer for a long visit as I ran errands. As always she was happy to see us. When I came in she stood up and came to me, which she hadn't been able to do without help. They had to use a harness with a handle on the back to help her off the floor.
The sons of Jasmines "parents" had Samoyeds, big white husky type dogs. There's 5 in the pack and Jasmine loved being with them. On her final day, all five came to the house and Jas really perked up and loved seeing her buddies. (https://i.imgur.com/abnbBuA.jpg) Then the vet came to the house and a light in our life went out. The Samoyeds were brought back in to sniff her and know that she was gone.
Farewell dear Jasmine.

Yeah, I remember the shoulder, and I think there was something with his hands because I made a joke about Carpal Talon Syndrome. I was worried that maybe he also had some heart related problems or otherwise.
Not answering his email is strange, but maybe he's just still really busy from the holidays, and I know email can be goofy sometimes and I've even had people on my contact list end up in my spam folder from time to time.

There are threads about him and his health. He has hypersensitive nerves which cause him pain, and his shoulder has been bothering him still since his surgery, but I feel if it was something along those lines, I'd have thought he'd say something to me. In the past two years, we hardly go a day without a PM to each other and now nothing. :'(
Damn. That makes all our whining seem trivial. :'(
I cross my finger and toes, that things go well for you (and him)

If you're that close to someone they become family, and it's very hard to not see them or talk to them evey day. Sorry Shiela.

It hurts him to be on the computer too long. That's why he's in and out of KB so fast.
That’s understandable, Let’s just hope he returns, albeit if in a to-fro manner(dropping in and out for a moment back-to-back.) , if being logged in a single continuous stretch isn’t comfortable for him.

So much to ruin a day, or week happening right now.
I'm so sorry that things have been so rough for you lately.
Watcher sent me a goodbye PM, so I fear my suspicions were correct. No reason why, and I suppose it isn't really any of my business, but I wish him well and will miss him so very very much.
And to round things off. I'm sick. I completely lost my voice, my throat is very sore, and my sinuses are completely clogged so I'm walking around breathing through my mouth looking like an idiot. It started about three days ago, yesterday it just kept getting worse throughout the day. I do not think this is covid, because my lunges feel fine, i have no cough at all. Just need to clear my throat evey so often. Probably strep throat or something.
Eating cough drops like they're the only thing keeping me alive :emot_laughing:

Rick and I have always called each other “a brother from another mother.“ Going all the way back to 2008 together. He’s actually closer to my father’s age, and a veteran who served in Vietnam. And he’s always been a source of friendship and amusement. And a unmitigated poon hound! Have you ever known anyone that chased pussy with the same persistence and enthusiasm as Rick? I was always worried he was going to finally catch somebody and have a heart attack when he did. I’m gonna be really sad if this exit is the last one.

What has ruined my day today? Same thing as every day in the past 14 days -- FUCKING ROOSTERS crowing at 4 AM. Two neighbours keep chickens - one lets the damn things run free and the other has them in coops. When the sun goes down, they shut up. However, 3 hours before sun rise, they start. It's a good thing we have a fan in the bedroom to produce some white noise to block out most of their noise.

I'd go to the store for one, but damn... it's 10 below zero. :facepalm:
It was 84° yesterday. 27° this morning. Not -10°, but a respectable drop of 57° in 12 hours.
Holy crap, that is a massive drop, send somebody into shock. I remember being in the desssert and it would go from 100 something to 60-65 at night and we would feel like it's freezing. Dropping nearly 60° is crazy.
It was 10° when I got up and its sitting around 16° right now. At least it's still above 0

Had a rough MRI session this morning. Recheck of intestinal problem I had last fall. Not related to my cancer. I had to drink three large containers of Barium in a little over an hour.
Holy crap, does that stuff clean you out!. Had to fast, so nothing to eat since last night. Even then, I spent a lot of time on throne before and after the MRI.
Then on to my cancer people. Will be starting treatment next week. Will update in the "My Doctor Visit" in Member's Bar area later today. Sorry if this was TMI :facepalm:

Family drama always ruins the day.

Oh and on top of that my damn underwire broke through, and was sticking out of my scrubs for god knows how long until I bumped it. I was talking with people with this thing sticking out for crying out loud.

You kind of answered your own question, love.
I spend a small fortune on properly fitted bras, so they keep the girls looking up. It wont last forever, but I'm going to fight gravity for as long as I can. It isn't sharp or anything it just worked it was out of my bra, and because of the shape of it, it starts sliding out upwards. I finally noticed it when I looked down at my keyboard at my workstation and saw it poking out. Ran to the bathroom to try to put it back in but because I was already irritated with the argument going on with family, I just pulled it out. Then I felt "sideways" the rest of the day until I changed.
I'm going to visit my cousins today to see what the hell is going on with this packer thing today. Everybody wants to host a party. We usually don't do this and if we have one its usually at my dad's, and somtimes my Uncle's house. When the suggestion of going out somewhere to a bar or club, then the talk of money and kids came up, and that's when I said get a babysitter.

Wife had all her remaining lower teeth pulled today. Was only in the dentist's chair for an hour. It's really cold and windy this morning and the dental clinic is in one of two tall towers. They create wind year round. With cold temps it made the walk from the parking ramp to the building brutal. (I dropped wife at the door)
Drove up to the door to pick wife up. She wasn't able to talk for awhile, so I was looking forward to a quiet day. :facepalm: I pulled up by the door and she came out to the car. She plopped onto the seat and I was ready to pull out once she shut the door. Wind kept blowing into the car and I finally looked over. The wind had blown the car door shut on her legs and she's not strong enough to push it open. I got out and pulled the door from her legs and she finally got them inside the car.
Dang... getting older is an adventure.

Wife's getting through her first day after having a bunch of teeth pulled yesterday. Dentist must have had to grip her jaw tight. This morning bruises popped out on both sides of her jaw. Looks like she's gone a few rounds.
Eating is a problem too as you can expect. Doctor told wife she can eat anything she can squish between her fingers. Eggs have been working and I got a bunch of soups this morning. Be awhile before she can get dentures. Jaw has to heal then they put in a couple posts. After that heals she'll finally get some choppers.
Gonna be a long haul.

Between January and March of last year I had two root canals with crowns put in and also an implant. Horrible ordeal. I won't get another implant put in unless absolutely necessary. The dental work was because of a bad car accident (plates/rods/screws in one leg) as well as multiple bruises, plus the dental work.

What ruined my day? Seeing someone else getting blamed for the faults in me… I had a couple of minutes to spare today so logged in to see, what was happening here, saw the whole back-and-forth in the TIL thread. Really wished I could have made it in time, but alas was minutes too late… Honestly people, as bad as it feels to be blamed for someone else’s mistakes, it feels equally bad to see someone else blamed for my mistakes…

Weather in Florida was 37 this morning. Only 56 now.
And to think I was on a boat in the Atlantic in only my bathing suit just 7 days ago.
I need to go back to the Florida Keys it seems

More family.drama on top of my intense migraine... or maybe it caused my intense migraine, either way day ruined.
So sorry to hear that. Have you come across any medication that helps to alleviate the migraines?
It's a genetic trait that runs in and out of my family. You have my sympathy.

Thank you love. Prescription ibuprofen is about the best I can get, but it messes with my stomach, so I usually just use tylenol. I usually just lay down and not move until it passes.

Weather in Florida was 37 this morning. Only 56 now.
I flew into Orlando Saturday night. 37° and strong north wind. I only packed shorts and a polo. Thank goodness I still had a sport coat on. But it was cold as shit. Very un-Florida like.
And Orlando is kind of what ruined my day. I drove 100 miles on Friday to pick up my foster child. Then I drove to San Antonio and took a plane to Orlando. Only had a few hours sleep, and spent most of yesterday getting her Covid tested and on a plane for Ukraine. My late flight back was delayed by hours. I landed in San Antonio at two in the morning today, and had to drive back to Austin. Let’s just say I was a little bagged. I’m really too old for this shit.

My sympathies too, Shiela. Migraine attacks are horrible.
The only effective medication I found was Zolmitriptan, but it had to be taken as soon as the symptoms were felt. If the attack established itself then it was too late for medication and anything ingested (even water) made me throw up. In later life I found that the regular medication I was prescribed for high blood pressure greatly reduced the frequency of attacks.

The Neurologists at the VA here put me on something called Valproic Acid. I take a couple capsules at night. It reduced the number of Migraines soon and after a few years I haven't had one in ages. There is a downside, if you stop taking them. I was in the hospital with an intestinal blockage, so nothing to eat or drink, including my meds. I soon started having headaches and finally figured out that I need the Valproic Acid. They found a liquid form and added that to my IV and the headaches went away. Better to prevent them that cure them. Of course everyone's body is different, just passing on my experience.
KB note: When I had a migraine, it made me horny and I usually would masturbate. The headache would ease when I'd cum, but was back again soon. :facepalm:

800 mg ibuprofen. The US Military cure all.
I get two different types of migraines. This one was the intense, throbbing, pounding, every move makes me wish I was dead kind, and then I get a much different kind. It starts with a slight headache and my left eye begins to itch all around the socket. Then I begin to see double as the muscles attached to my eye relax, and it starts to sag. So if I were to look forward, my left eye would be looking down slightly. It isnt too bad. But anybody looking at me, would be able to seenmy eyes aren't straight. After that thenheadache gets worse mostly I think because of the double vision and trying to focus, so I end up just closing my left eye. The headache usually doesn't get too powerful, but bad enough, and it can take several hours for my eye to return.

I think it is because the (male?) brain can only process one intense sensation at a time. Stubbing your toe may have the same effect, but not as pleasurable.

In the Canadian military, the cure all was Tylenol, or as friends of mine call it PPCLI candy. PPCLI - Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry - the first Canadian army units deployed when shit hits the fan.
I recall going to sick parade with any one of a. number of ills and always seemed to come away with 2 or 3 bottles of Tylenol and a big bag of salt. Why salt? Apparently everybody seemed to have a sore throat so they would hand out a pound of salt with instructions to dissolve a tablespoon in warm water and gargle.

What ruined my day is learning that Travis County, including the courts, are going to be closed tomorrow. It’s 48° and raining right now. The forecast says temperatures are going to dip into the 20s by tomorrow afternoon. They are raiding the Food King, and clearing the shelves. Just crazy.

Tylenol = paracetamol = acetaminophen. For some reason I can never pronounce acetaminophen correctly. The middle syllables get mixed up and it comes out as "acetamoniphen" or something similar.
Chemistry is the only subject I flunked at school and I have a secret admiration for pharmacists.

I got my booster shot yesterday, and had no problems with it. Today, not so much. I'm lightheaded with some slight dizzy spells, I keep getting this odd smell, and taste, but can't figure out what the hell it is, and my fingertips feel like pins and needles.
Has anybody had troubles with the booster? I got a sick from my vaccines, but it was no big deal and was over in a few days. This is different and a bit worrying. Shannon and Amanda say I should go to the ER because of the dizziness, and the nurse advice line said I should drink more fluids but not caffeine or alcohol. No coffee?? I'd rather die🤣

I’m not an expert, but I have read that people with more serious symptoms following vaccination are actually having a stronger auto immune response, which results in increased antibodies and stronger resistance to Covid infection. So it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Glad you’re feeling better.

Protesters complaining about the the Covid-19 vaccination and booster. Telling everyone it’s fake and we don’t need to be vaccinated. With the number of people dying, they must be living under a rock.
I’ve had no problems with any of my shots including my booster, maybe it’s because all the whiskey I drink. Please get vaccinated and get your kids vaccinated.

Late Thursday afternoon, an hour before shift ended, my internet went out. Since I need to be responsible I immediately notified my manager (my PC-no internet-ethernet cable. My smartphone was able to work off of the tower actually across the street). Since I have AT&T, I used the Smart Home Manager app on my phone and tried to run diagnostics. I then had a chat with one of their techies and he diagnosed the problem as my external modem going out. He then ordered a new one and said that the new one would be delivered to me Saturday. Saturday I called AT&T. Where's my modem? Oh, there has been a weather delay, let me put in a ticket. Late Saturday night I was given a tracking number. Checked the tracking number on Sunday morning. It will be to me on Tuesday. I updated my manager. An hour ago, the external modem suddenly started working again. Since I can afford a 4 day weekend I'll take one, but I feel foolish.

An unusual server problem almost ruined my day. Web pages began showing memory errors and I began to panic, having no clue as to what was causing the problem.
An email to the hosting company's support department did the trick. The support person increased the memory allocation on the affected site and all's well. But I still don't know why it happened. ???

Also reminded me of all the other times I've done or said something that was in hindsight very stupid. But it's like sometimes I can even be looking for something like my keys, literally be looking at them, and it doesn't register right away. I don't know if it is because my mind is always going, that there are times where there's too much information to process, and then my brain can overlook the most important things... ??? :facepalm:

Would a chain reaction machine be the same as a Rube Goldberg/Heath Robinson machine? A contraption that does nothing in an intriguingly complicated way?
There used to be a creator of such machines called Bruce Lacey. Don't know how many people remember him, but the whirring and clanking of one of his creations is preserved on Fairport Convention's What We Did on Our Holidays album.
I once stumbled on a website selling kits for do-it-yourself machines. I was sorely tempted to buy one, but have nowhere to put it, once assembled.

Usually I would be hosting a Super Bowl party. But with the divorce, and the new bachelor pad, that’s not going to happen. I had hoped that I could watch the Super Bowl with my son, but he advises me that he is responsible for the Super Bowl party at his fraternity house. Yeah, if there is one thing my family knows how to do, it’s throw a party. So I’m glad to see he inherited dad’s skill set, but that still means I’m going to be watching the game alone tonight.

[ Usually I would be hosting a Super Bowl party. But with the divorce, and the new bachelor pad, that’s not going to happen. I had hoped that I could watch the Super Bowl with my son, but he advises me that he is responsible for the Super Bowl party at his fraternity house. Yeah, if there is one thing my family knows how to do, it’s throw a party. So I’m glad to see he inherited dad’s skill set, but that still means I’m going to be watching the game alone tonight.
Bummer about your divorce, Ph.

Done with chemo today and was picking up prescriptions in the pharmacy when I got a text from wife of best friend. She had to call an ambulance for him. He has COPD, and couldn't breathe. I went to ER and they told me he was already in a room and wif was with him.
A nurse was kind enough to go back and tell her I was out there. She came out and filled me in on his condition. Last I heard he is doing better but they're keeping him overnight. His memory is going too so maybe he won't remember much about today.

A few years back before KB, I had an aunt with asthma. She had an attack, and her emergency inhaler wasnt helping. She kept refusing to go to the hospital at her boyfriends request, and she ended up passing out. Bu the time the ambulance got there and got her to the hospital, she had gone too long without air, and was braindead. My dad who ended up having say in things talked with her boyfriend and they agreed to take her off life support.
Something like that can go from bad to catastrophic in no time.

I lost a couple of friends that way. When one of them didn't show up for work and didn't answer phone calls, his company sent someone round to his house. They found him lying outside his front door, hand reaching for the inhaler in his pocket.

I found out one of my employees lied on his resume about professional licenses he said he had. His manager found out last night he lied. I liked this guy. He did good work. But he has to go.

My grandparents were snowbirds too...
Had dozens of accidents throughout the state due to snow squalls. For those who don't know, a snow squal is almost like a mini blizzard. Moderate snow fall, but it has severe gusting winds.

Well, it's my love of snow and mountains that's fucking ruined my whole month and maybe longer. Waited for two years to be able to go skiing again (thank you Covid restrictions) and then got my first ever serious injury half way through the week. That was exactly two weeks ago now and my right shoulder and upper arm are still strapped together. To add insult to injury it was one of the best weeks I have ever experienced for continuous beautiful weather in the Alps. The weather gods even delivered two feet of fresh snow just before I got there.

Not to divert from this interesting handjob conversation, and that movie is on prime, and I watched it two days ago, but I just wanted to let you all know that I've been feeling off recently because of a change in my medication. I'm taking an antidepressant booster, and they nearly doubled the prescribed amount. the biggest and most confusing problem with this medication that is supposed to help me fight depression and anxiety is it causes me to have a LOT of suicidal thoughts.
It doesnt take much, but I get caught up in a frustrated circle of thinking and somehow end up thinking I'd be better off dead. DON'T PANIC I get a hold of myself relatively quick and hit the pages of my journal. I talk with friends, my Dad, and I come here.
I am not going to do anything stupid, and don't need a bunch of PMs or anything like that, just throwing out a little FYI.
Oh and one final note, Angelina Jolie can't pull off blonde hair.

Products liability law provides for strict liability for any manufacturer who puts an unreasonably dangerous or defective product into the stream of commerce. And an unreasonably dangerous or defective product is defined as one that poses an unforeseeable risk of harm. So the lawyers decided to list 30 or 40 possible side effects in their commercials, so they can claim it wasn’t “unforeseeable” your tongue would turn blue and your tits would fall off.

True dat. Pharmaceutical companies have to tread a fine line between getting people interested in their products and not falling foul of the law.
In some parts of the world it's not an issue, as medical advertising is restricted or banned.

Thank you all for your expressions of condolence and concern. I’ll just add one more thing. I called my brother to tell him about our uncle’s death, and my brother chose that moment in time to tell me what a son of a bitch he thought our uncle was, how he always hated him, and “he has been dead to me for years.“ All over something that happened maybe 15 or 16 years ago, and for which my uncle has apologized.
I felt like I was getting kicked in the stomach a second time. I’m supposed to see my brother on Saturday at an event, and I’m seriously considering not even going now. He’s just a rich arrogant prick who’s used me as an emotional crutch for years. But he’s now the last remaining member of my family that I have regular contact with.

My uncle was only 12 when I was born. I remember him putting me on a TV tray, and rolling me around my grandmothers house, faster and faster, with me laughing and screaming in the hallways. He taught me how to use the telescope. He taught me how to make an insect collection in cigar boxes with paraffin wax. He taught me how to catch butterflies. He taught me early lessons on motor vehicle repair and maintenance. And we just always had a good relationship. Because he was a good person. He took care of his father, through long years of escalating dementia. He visited his mother in the nursing home, almost daily, while she began her slow decline to death. In fact, he’s going to be buried next to my grandmother and his late wife. So people talking ugly about him is kind of like how you feel about people saying things about your father. I don’t take it very well. I’m actually holding back tears while I write this.

Thanks for that map. I've a sinking feeling in my stomach. My father's side of the family hails from the Lviv (Lwów) region.
This is serious. I thought Putin would go for a token push into the separatist states. I was wrong.
I think a lot of people were wrong. I have a lot of friends in Russia and a lot of friends and family in Ukraine. And everyone told me I was being an alarmist and overstating the risk, and now I spent my whole day on the phone with the State Department, trying to arrange for emergency humanitarian parole visas to get my people out of the country.

Messed up on the cooking time, so had to eat dinner a bit uncooked. In the evening, while unlocking the gate, an inch long cockroach decided to jump on my wrist.

Word is that Kiev is going to fall tonight to Russian forces. So the national government of Ukraine is no more.
I’ve spent the last 60 hours or so on the phone with the state department, United States senators, United States ambassadors, a member of the national security council, all attempting to get emergency visas or humanitarian paroles for 15 children that I know.
We chartered two buses today for the border, and the fucking soccer moms who run this organization prioritized “adoption eligible“ kids. Because you know kids that have a parent just don’t deserve any consideration in World War III.
I’m so fucking pissed, I’m so fucking pissed, because I think these poor kids are stuck now behind the border. And I predict that Putin is going to engage in mass genocide by cutting off financial aid, food sources, Internet access, cell phone access, etc. And these people are just going to start dropping like flies. They all lived a very meager subsistence style life before this happened. But without strong support networks, and government aid, they are extremely vulnerable.
So this week I’ve had to deal with the divorce, with my uncle’s death, and now with the loss of three foster children. It’s all just not good. I don’t think I slept more than three hours total since Wednesday.

If the motorcycle community saying that the louder the pipes, the smaller the dick is true, then Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has the loudest motorcycle ever made and is trying to compensate.

Thank you all for well-wishes. As for covid, although right now, only the sore throat persists but, who knows if anything else might make a comeback. There's a chance of it being allergies, but if it's really covid then that's gonna be ironic, as it hasn't even been 10 days since I got the 2nd dose of the vaccine. Once again, thank you everyone.

Also, my friend Barb is coming over tonight for dinner and bringing her boyfriend. I haven't met him yet. She's in love. I'm so happy for her and I can't wait to meet him.
From what made my day to, what ruined my day.
I was so looking forward to meeting him. I didn't like him. Dan didn't really care for him too much either. Kind of arrogant, just rubbed me the wrong way. A bunch of other things. Yesterday Barb came over before we left for our trip and asked what I thought. Of course I told her he was great. She said, "I know, isn't he." I'm happy for her, but. She can definitely do better. Didn't even seem like her type.
The Chinese take out was good at least.

Got.to the gym this morning, and because of the weather I was rushing into the building. Had my.dufflenin one hand, and holding my jacket up over my head and I was booking it. Now know it was there, I've avoided it many times in the past, but I guess I just wasn't focused enough and ended up ankle deep in a huge slush puddle. I surprisingly didn't fall over, but I did drop my duffle in the same puddle, or large slush filled pothole.
Well my shoes were soaked and cold, so now I'm wearing my gym shoes all day putting unneeded miles on them, and as purpleshoes mentioned with prices going up, I dont want to have to buy new shoes sooner than needed.

Sheesh!😬 Wet shoes are truly a ghastly thing 😱 Brings me back to the memories of the day we went to watch the parade, which was accompanied with heavy rainfall. Never before, have I ever been truly grateful for the thermostat which was installed in the hotel room. (And coincidentally was my first ever experience with a thermostat.)

I am of counsel to an organization that facilitates Ukrainian adoptions and fostering. I’ve been doing this for years, and have fostered a number of children in that time. They are extended family. So this isn’t just what’s ruining my day, it’s kind of what’s ruining my whole year.
We spent a week on the phone, made hundreds and hundreds of phone calls, did fundraising, and managed to get 30+ children across the border in three different buses on Thursday. Unfortunately none of my children made the trip. So I was quite heartbroken by that.
Add to that, my uncle’s death, trouble at work and home, and I didn’t sleep for about six days. So that’s why y’all haven’t seen me around here. I just haven’t had a minute to fuck with things.
That’s when a friend reminded me that “there’s a reason they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first, you can’t help anyone else if you’re under distress.“ So I am trying to get a little sleep, turning the phone off at night, and trying not to cry my eyes out when I read the morning news accounts concerning what’s going on in Ukraine.
So just checking in and checking out. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Bumpy day today… Messed up while chatting with a friend, just one hour from waking. Temporarily pulled a nerve or something near the left hip or something, leading to unbearable pain for a couple of moments and some uncomfortableness while walking for the next hour or so while at the workplace. And after returning home, accidentally Almost used the lift/elevator. Tried my best to get out the complete second part of my character’s account in Writer Bloque’s roleplay, but couldn’t due to unavoidable issues. (And I had to break it into three parts…) Sorry about that… Tomorrow is a really important thing, and I don’t know whether I’m prepared for it or not… :facepalm: As of now, gonna hit the haystack in a few minutes…

The club of my sister's boyfriend also got into financial struggle due to the Ukraine war, since they cancelled the contract with their main sponsor Gazprom. Though Schalke 04 is a much smaller light than Chelsea, especially after falling into the the second Bundesliga. Meanwhile fuel prices are rising higher and higher. For people with an old Diesel car it would be much cheaper to use canola as fuel. Diesel is over 2.30€ per liter today, while a bottle canola costs about 1.50€ in the supermarket.

What are dip cups and snuff pouches? ???
Snuff is smokeless tobacco, that you tuck between your cheek and gum. Lots of nicotine. Very popular in Texas. You can buy it in a pouch form, with the snuff in a little porous bag. So you don’t have all the loose tobacco swimming around in your mouth.
Snuff makes you salivate. That’s why you see baseball players spitting all the time. So, if you don’t want to spit on the floor, you can spit in a spittoon, or a “dip cup.” I was spitting in a stainless steel tumbler last night. And I put it on the counter last night.
Stuck it under my Nespresso machine this morning. Didn’t notice. So I drank a coffee mixed with my snuff spit. Still feeling a little ill.

Though, as I said, the forum restricts VPN, and since I used it, when I logged in, I was restricted to enter, and most probably have been even auto-banned from the website's end.

What VPN are you using? I have found CyberGhost to be the best of the cheap ones but it won't get around the BBC when I am not in the UK. Nord VPN is supposed to be the best as it has the most servers but maybe a bit pricy.
Some streaming content out of Canada is blocked for IP addresses outside of Canada. I purchased a 2 year subscription to NordVPN for about $75.00 US. Is it perfect -- hard to tell. Internet here in Mexico is OK, not great. So, our VPN connection to a Canadian server drops on occasion but it's not known if it's Nord or the ISP.
That is all.

I was riding a high from last night with Allan and thought today is going to be a great day. An inch of slush covered the roads, and it was still falling when I made my way to work. There is a curve on the way there and the speed limit is 25mph. I was doing 15mph, and my car still slid across the road and into the ditch on the other side. It wasnt a particularly steep ditch, but with everything covered in rain snow slush crap it wasnt going anywhere. The second I tried reverse, the back end actually slid down into the ditch further. I called work, let them know I was stuck in the ditch, then I called local police, and my insurance company because I have roadside assistance. Even with that, it was going to take a tow truck three hours to get to me. The police said he couldnt sit there that long and offered me a ride someplace, or he could call a different tow truck that would be quicker. I opted for him to take me to work. He dropped me off, and that's when I realized I left my phone in my car. So I went the day without my phone wondering what the hell is happening with my car. I called my insurance company and they gave me the Toe truck companies number and I called tham.amd asked what was going on. They told me he was still on the way. I said I'd call back, and if it wasnt too much of a bother I'd keep checking in with them. After 3 1/2 hours, they said they had my car and were hauling it back to their lot... an hour away. So I called my dad, admitted my embarrassing mistake, left work early and he came and picked me up and drove me to my car.
Got there, and they wanted $350 for me to get my car back. $200 to pull me out. $100 for traveling. And $50 for staring my car for an hour. My insurance company was supposed to pay them because I pay for the road side assistance, but nothing had been done. So I could let them keep my car until I figure out the insurance thing, or pay up and hope to get reimbursed. My dad told me to "take a breath", his way of saying "calm the f@#$ down" and then he paid for it. I said I have the money, and he said he had more of it. I didnt argue and let my dad be dad. He followed me home and we talked for a while, and now I'm sitting here trying to get ahold of somebody at my insurance company that can help and not just transfer me.

I try to never have more than about 10 tabs open in my browser. Because you’re monopolizing your RAM. Eventually your browser is going to freeze.
Next time, I suggest you bookmark those pages. You can organize your bookmarks in folders also. I have one called “porn“ and another called “stories“ so I can always go back and find my favorites. But 148 open tabs is just crazy.

Just came from the supermarket. Prices are rising and rising... Especially basics (milk, eggs) are between 10-80% more expensive than 3 weeks ago. Haven's seen a single bottle of oil (canola or sonflower) in the shelfs for a few weeks. Toilet paper and flour is out too of course. And the most important groceries chain Aldi announced to ramp up the prices significantly on Monday and most other shops and chains apapt those price changes. While I can still manage, it will be hard for low income families who use already a big chunk of their budget for food stuffs. Right now we have the highest inflation for 40 years and if(when) Vlad the Impaler finally cuts off the gas flow, our economy will have the bigggest decline since WW2

What ruined my day? I work for a School as a Custodian and I work nights. I came in as usual and in the main office our secretary was talking to a lady about enrolling her daughter to the school. I happened to walk near the office to shut off a display light, the lady sees me and asks our secretary,
"Who's he? A parent?", obviously referring to me. Our secretary says, "He's our night Custodian he cleans the school every night." Out of nowhere the lady asks, "Do you do background checks on all of your employees?" Our secretary replied, "Yes, we do before we hire them. Why do you ask?" Then the lady says, "No reason."
I did nothing to provoke this woman whatsoever but yet she's saying that about me? I don't know if my appearance frightened her or what but goes off to the secretary like I'm some kind of monster. I think that lady was off her nut, she's wearing a Covid mask, but her daughter wasn't. In our state mask wearing was lifted for the time being, yet she's masked still and has a child unmasked. As they were leaving she was trying to avoid me and was making her daughter sanitize her hands before leaving. I guess I was a walking Covid monster :roll:

I need to physically write it on a piece of paper from the printer and have one of our legal assistants scan it into Adobe. So laid a blank piece of paper over my printed signature, and signed it *exactly* the same way. You can’t tell which one is printed and which one is original. And we will have that scanned. Because this is just the way we do things.
In some countries, any 'professional' (doctor, bank manager, lawyer, ordained minister, etc.) can authorize a signature or photo ID. At the other end of the pain scale are places that make you jump through hoops to get separate authorization documents (apostilles) issued by notaries for ludicrously high fees. At one time or another, I've been through all of them.
The whole signature thing is becoming irrelevant in the digital age. You can now 'sign' digital contracts online by either choosing one of the signature/initial style options offered, or uploading your own.

I have my JPEG signature that I have used for years. Then I also have my Adobe electronic signature, that puts my name and date and time of signature on it. Very good for PDF documents. And then finally, in Federal court, they require that you sign your pleadings “/s/ Attorney Name“ It’s in all the local rules, dating back to 2000 or earlier, and I’ve seen judges get very upset by a lawyer trying to put their “fancy signature” on a federal pleading.

It means they found something and need to get a better look at it. With Bob and Melissa on my mind, I was near tears scared. Luckily for me, it is just another cyst, and it is really small so no need to withdraw fluid or do anything with it. This will be the second cyst that I've gotten. One per girl. This one is under my left breast. What should have taken less than an hour took nearly three.

Not really, the goop they put on you feels gross, but there is no pain or discomfort. I think it was in scrubs where a female character equated it to having a whale "hock a loogie" on them. I was sat that analogy is rather accurate. They do press pretty hard with the wand, but no big deal. It's the mental torture you put yourself through when they say, "were going to have to order tou an ultrasound because we spotted a little something."
They don't know what it is right away, only that there is something there. And somtimes when the ultrasound can't tell them everything, then they need to take a biopsy, and then you're freaking out for a day or so, or god forbid an entire weekend like last time, to see if its cancerous or not. So it isn't the physical but the mental

Not sure where I should have posted this, but I decided here. So much made my day.
My dad makes these giant decorative sleds from birch word and a guy he knows had one. He has family in Kentucky who loved it and asked to buy one. My dad said no, and said if they want one they have to except it as a gift. He refused to accept any payment. So he made it and instead of shipping it asked if I wanted to go on a road trip with him to drop it off.
Two main reasons. One, he would love the company and I'm off from work till friday so I had the time, and I'd love to spend the time with him. And two, I know how google maps works and I'm a pretty good navigator so getting there would be much easier for him.
Now the ruined my day part.
Second time I've ever been to Kentucky, and it's trying to kill me. We've been advised that there are two tornadoes in nearby counties and we should head to the lower lobby of the hotel we decided to stay at. My dad refuses to go and says, "we're from Wisconsin tornadoes dont exist to us, I'm not hiding". So in short if you never hear from me again, blame my dad😂🤣💋

Well, that is potentially a plan. That said, we still have 3,000 pounds of stuff and a motorcycle to dispose of. Once that's done, we can start thinking about residency. We came down on a tourist permit that expires 180 days after we entered Mexico. So, we will go north, take care of what we need to take care of a make our application for temporary residence at the closest Mexican consulate (temporary residence applications must be made from outside of Mexico).
Then, there's the summer time heat to consider. June, July and August have average daily highs in the 40C+ range. Not necessarily what we want to deal with.

Used 3 gel pens throughout the day, Each ended up leaking profusely in my hand.

Pen maker quality control? Heat from your hand? Any idea what caused the leaking?
Can’t say about quality, as all were different brands, Heat? Maybe. It indeed was a hot day.
Another possibility is barometric pressure, caused by changes in the weather. I also have a vague recollection of fountain pens leaking in plane cabins.
How did you wash off all the ink gel?

If it had been ball pens, then there wouldn’t have been any issues, as alcohol in hand sanitizers, deodorants and nail polish removers can easily dissolve ball pen ink. But due to being gel pens, that also didn’t work. Some of it still coats my hands.

Ate like sh*t today. Chocolate. Starburst Jelly Beans, Home made cookies. Butterfingers. 100 Grand bar. Baby Ruth. NestleCrunch. These last 3 days. Ughhhh.
Tomorrow I will be eating fruit and doing smoothies. Salad for dinner. Perfect eating for 5 straight days. Maybe a couple of drinks of the brown stuff will be the worst.

I made a pizza. Traditional Easter food. I also had a Sacher torte and a Keylime pie cheesecake. I discovered that those two actually taste incredible together. So ate pizza for a while, drank some beer (10.5% ABV). Nibbled on the cheesecake and the torte. Now I’ve moved on to the bourbon. It’s only 5 o’clock. Thank God the office is closed tomorrow. Leave the window on the RV open tonight, daddy wants to watch.

Off to a good start catching up on chores. Four loads of laundry to do. Started by throwing whites in the machine. Went down to put in the dryer after enough time had passed for the washer to be through.
There was a the machine, lid still up and waiting for stupid huma to put the lid down so machine could start. :facepalm:
I was planning on doing laundry the morning I ended up in the hospital. So another week's worth of clothes from the wife and I'll be busy for a couple days.
For those wondering, wife isn't physically able to downstairs, let alone carry a basket of clothes.

Popcorn kernel skin stuck way back under my tongue. I thought I was going to die getting it out. I stuck my toothbrush head way back under and tried scraping it out with bristles and feel like I scratched the underside of my tongue. And it even feels bruised.

When I was but a mere lad I had a popcorn kernel lodged in my gums. It took a dentist to remove it. How it got between my tooth and the gum line no one knows but it hurt somewhat and the gum around the kernel became infected.

For those who have sent me PMs with support, I am sorry I didn't reply. Thank you all so much for the messages, it really does mean a lot.
Details.
I told Allan a lot about the things I find kinky or fetish like blindfolds and being tied up. So he went out to an adult shop and bought some satin type scarves or something like that specifically made for tying people up. No cuffs or straps or anything like that and I he made sure to leave it pretty loose. I said no to the blindfold because i was already feeling a little nervous and I didnt want to feel closterphobic on top of that. I also said no to my legs being tied up.
Cut to the bad part. Everything was going EXTREMELY well, and then somehow one of the scarves got across my neck and I ended up getting the end behind my back, and before I knew it, I was choking myself. He didnt realize what was happening at first, and then I started freaking out which just made things worse. He climbs up trying to help and then when I looked at him, all my mind registered was him reaching at my neck while I was being choked. It wasnt a bad choking I could still breath, but the tightness around my neck and me terrified. Even though the scarves were loose I still couldnt get my hands free, and then he finally got the scarf out from behind me. The whole thing probably lasted a fraction of a second but it was and eternity in my head.
It scared the hell out of me, and I wanted to be away from him as quickly as I could. I knew he did nothing wrong, but I was completely uncomfortable being near him at the moment. He sent me about 100 texts and called about 3 or 4 times the next day, I just said I needed some time and I didn't blame him. I talked to him for a while yesterday, and I'm doing a whole lot better.
Most likely going to get with him this weekend, but I told him to store those scarves next to his pills.
Get Shannon and/or Amanda to take you for a walk, to the gym or.....
They live about 3 hours away, and I wasnt going to inconvenience them like that. thank you though.

I intuitively thought it involved choking. I am happy to hear it was an accident, and not erotic asphyxiation. Sounds like he felt very bad about what happened. Hope you feel better soon also.
Was a bad reaction on my part, and when I think back on it, I feel really stupid for the way I handled it all after.
Please don't feel stupid. Your brain had a reason for reacting the way it did. Maybe you don't understand the reason and maybe you didn't like the reaction, but it doesn't make any of it less valid. :emot_kiss:
You did show courage getting 'on top of things' though, as you mentioned in the Who Got Laid thread ;D

Waking up to look at my phone, and seeing that I had 23 missed calls on it. Calls from the county jail, calls from local police department, calls from my son, just a big hot stinking bowl of mess. Turns out he got drunk, was going somewhere with the family dog in his truck, and got busted for DUI.
Animal Control Services (ACS) ended up with the dog. So I had to drive 100 miles to get her out of doggy jail. Son got himself bailed out. I told him I would not be representing him this time. I am furious with him. Hope he will get into recovery and straighten himself out.

So I'm in my little kitchen listening to music on headphones because I needed it loud, and didnt want to blast my stereo and anger the neighbors. I'm chopping veggies for some mushroom cap pizzas when I start smelling something a bit off. I dont think much of it and then it hits me again. I have my.kitchen window cracked a bit and when I get closer to it I smell that stuff they add to natural gas. I dont th8nk too much of it at first as there have been utility workers across the street working on stuff for about a week. Next thing I know, there is a face in my window and it scared the ever loving hell out of me. Not just because I wasnt expecting a fireman to stick his face in my window, but because, even with the heat off it was 72° in my apartment and warm enough to be comfortable in a tank and panties. I nearly threw my knife at the window. He jumped back pretty quick and started yelling at me. I took my headphones off and he told me I needed to evacuate my apartment because of the has leak. I can not use my car to get anywhere and needed to walk to the end of the block.
I threw on some pajama pants and my mukluks and I was out the door. I didnt bother with my phone as I was kinda rushed. Me and all the other people in my apartment and those across the street all stood at the end of out block for nearly three hours as the finally got the leak stopped and the area was safe enough for us to go back home. Had some pleasant conversations with the neighbors and was able to pet and play with some doggos as we waited. There was a paramedic there with us and the woman paramedic have me a blanket because it was much chillier outside and I wasnt wearing a bra and the girls were poking and a few were staring. Any other time, I probably would have teased at least one, but I am not in the mood for that.
The firefighter did find me later and apologized for scaring me but I didnt hear him pounding on my door at all. My noise canceling headphones are really good.

I once was woken up in the middle of the night my a thud in the house. That in itself is a miracle, since I sleep through burglar alarms going off above my head. So, I walk around the pitch dark with a club in my hand, and am ready to kill. A second thud and I walk towards the noise. Walking past the car, club at the ready, my cat slips from under the car and rubs up against my leg. I damn near shat myself, and nearly killed the cat.

The reason this freaked me out so much is when I was about 18 years old, a friend and I were driving from our home to her boyfriends baseball game near his home about 20 miles north. We were driving through the city about halfway between. Stopped at one of the stoplights at the south end of the small downtown, about 200 yards away a building exploded. The explosion happened and we sat there thinking did this really happen, 10 seconds later brick hit her car. Traffic came to a gridlocked mess and a cloud of dust came rolling down main street and enveloped our car. Freaked us the F out. Someone died and about 20 people were injured if I remember correctly.
Gas stories trigger this memory.
So thankful you're okay, S.

In the spring of '09 we just had the landscaping done on the house we had built. We needed to get a sprinkler to keep the sod alive. So, we leave the house and drive over to the closest Canadian Tire store to get said sprinkler. When we exited the store, we saw fire, police and ambulance heading at high speed north of where we were. We took an alternate route home because we figured it might have been a traffic accident that would block the way. As we are driving, I look north and see a large black cloud and figure it is an asphalt based issue on the highway being built. Turned onto the avenue we lived on and realized, it wasn't on the highway. We pulled into our driveway to see that a house about a block and a half away was "on fire". Turns out, some ass hat killed his girlfriend and was trying to make it look like she died in a fire. Unfortunately for him, the gas blew the house up before he could get out. The four or five closest houses were knocked off of their foundations. There were no houses or other buildings between that house and ours. The only damage we suffered was a picture got knocked off the wall in the powder room on the first floor.
This event was tragic. From a personal perspective, the worst part was all the damn looks-lou's who for the next three weeks clogged our street.

I never once considered the gas hitting anything inside my apartment that would start a fire. One of the few days in the past couple weeks that I hadn't had a couple candles lit. I was just thinking breathing problems or if the leak caught fire. I've been around plenty of explosions in my life, and none from a gas leak. The6ve been working to not only replace a section of pipe for the gas line, but also finish doing what they were before. If you drive around my neighborhood, every so often you'll see a huge orange pipe sticking up out of people's yards. I have no idea what they are doing

If you haven't got some already, I suggest you buy gas detectors and sleep better. I've seen them from about $10 and up.
You can also get them for your smartphones.
If you buy one that has a display, then you can see how big the concentration is. So if you find out that you only have 3 or 4% gas in a room then it should be safe to turn off everything in that room.
If the concentration is between 5 and 15% Just grab the cat or lover and get out. That is the only concentration where Natural gas can explode.
Natural gas is lighter than air so measure about 10 inches from the ceiling
Stay safe.......Please :emot_kiss:

My brother in law had clippers like that and would cut his hair. My sister used to get so mad. He'd hack it up 5 times out of 10. He didn't want to spend the $8 to get a hair cut. My daddy had them too, but I don't recall him ever using them. Dan's hair is short enough I think he could use them or I could use them on him, but he has a stylist he's been going to for 10 years and insist on going to her. He gets a hair wash, a scalp massage, a hot lather neck shave when he goes. He says it's like going to the spa. He actually says he "likes being pampered." I guess I don't pamper him enough.

My reference was really to shaving the head. You need to take everything down to 1/8” or shorter before applying a razor. I don’t shave my head, but I use the clippers on everything between my groin and my neck. Otherwise, I’d look like Robin Willians in Moscow on the Hudson Also my ears, nose, mustache (before my balls). The older you get, the more “weird hair” you grow.

Definitely. In your teens you get hair in funny places. In your 40s you get hair in totally unfunny places.
The strange thing I found since I started shaving my head is that the disposable razors work so much better. The fancy blades that you need a mortgage to buy is ruined after 1 shaved. Thre disposables last ages

What ruined today for me:
My truck almost being towed at work. They want the new higher ups to park close to the buildings and the regular people to park further out. I said eff that, summer is coming and with no shade out in the bf egypt of parking heat stroke from the walk is a thing. So since my office is in the furthest back building, that means an additional 5 minutes of walking, just to clock in, and another 4 minutes to get to my office, since I have to report to my direct boss before i can slink off to my office, so yeah.
I then had to leave work to go rescue my son and daughter from school, because my son decided to play hero and try and stop a dude from hitting a girl, and when my son did the right thing, the girl kicked him in the balls, so my daughter who seen this jumped on her. So instead of going to jail, they both have three day suspensions. But why this ruined my day, was I had to take my son to the er to get checked out, and listening to him whine and moan about it.
My wife's twin cousins decided to drop by and stay awhile. They are supposed to be in high school, but said fuck it and ran away from home, because daddy took their cars and phones away for failing grades and the real possibility of repeating their junior year. So they hopped a greyhound and arrived as I was dropping my kids off at home, so I could get back to work. Fun.
AND the worst ruining thing today...
I went to pick up an order on my way home from work, because my wife was working late, and they messed up my Arby's half pound with cheese. Gave me the smallest fucking sandwich ever.

The Forrest starts in my back yard and I feed the birds, especially during winter. So I have a lot of beautiful birds in my garden, among them five pheasants, who have more or less moved in.
I don't try to tame them, but one of the ladies started coming closer and closer when I was out filling the feeders. I started sitting down, talking to her, and throwing a few bird seeds. and soon she got within twó feet of me.
I never tried to get her to eat from my hand. She just got close, making cute little noises, whenever I was in the garden.
This morning her "husband" woke me. Male pheasants are noisy, but he was panicking. I got up and looked out the window. There was the lady pheasant laying out on the street. She had clearly been hit by a car.
As I approached her, I saw that the only thing I could do for her was to end her suffering, so I did that.
I know I did the right thing, but it still makes me sad.

WB, wow that was a long bad day. Especially to top it off with the wrong order at the fast food.
WC. I get so mad seeing squirrels and chipmunks in the road. I've never hit one in my life. To see a dead animal just means someone has no care for animal life. Cars have breaks people. BUT to hit a pheasant? WTH is wrong with people. A cat or dog being hit should be no different than a small child. Police should be involved. Dan has argued with me when I go off about it, but it's so wrong. License should be revoked or suspended for a time.

I too hate to see critters killed by cars In 60 years of driving,. I've hit two squirrels. Both ran from the side of the road and under my vehicle. There was no chance to break. I still felt bad even though tho there was nothing I could have done.
Every now and then police or other highway officials say not to hit your brakes. It increases the chance of being rear ended, maybe causing injuries to you, passengers (kids) and the people in the other cars.
Here's a chilling video from a busy freeway as a mother duck leafs her family across several lanes of traffic. No ducks or cars were harmed in this video.
I'm still seeing red from a few years ago while at our favorite wildlife area. Saw a large turtle by the side of the road and pulled over to take photos. When I got to it I saw a large snapper and it had been run over and killed. Looking back up the road I saw a vehicle's tracks ( Yahoo in a pickup no doubt, farm country). It was obvious from the tracks that they'd swerved from the center of the road to the side just to kill a turtle that from the size was several years old and would have lived much longer. That would be cause for arrest.

That makes me sick how some people just don't care. Disgusting
Long time ago, I was in Georgia and as I was driving to a store, and as I passed this small pond, a duck flew across in front of me and I hit it. I had to pulled over and sat there crying so hard and so long that a police officer had stopped to see if I was ok.

We had a Red-Tailed Hawk fly into the path of our car on the freeway. Bird had no chance. Came from the ditch, no doubt had dived on a small critter. The freeways here are lined with Hawks sitting on light poles watching for mice, voles and other tasty critters. The cause... people throwing good out their car windows. That attracts the critters which attracts Hawks. Then large numbers of Hawks get hit when they try to fly off with their catch.

Sometimes You don’t stand a chance. Birds and animals can come out of nowhere and even if you go 30 in a 50 zone it is not always enough. Don’t beat yourself up if it happens to you.
But
If you see an animal close to the road, slooow down, It is your speed that kills them, because they panic.
and
What is unacceptable to me is when people hit animals or birds and don’t stop, but just assume the animal is dead. That is for me “Hit and Run” and animal cruelty.
I have saved injured animals, but sometimes, like today, There is nothing to do but stop the suffering. It breaks my heart every time, but Kluk suffered for at least half an hour to long.
Some do-gooders say that I should just let nature take its course. My simple answer is: There is nothing natural about being hit by a car or wounded by a bad hunter, and scavengers do not wait to eat you until you are completely dead. :emot_weird:
Sorry about being hotheaded again. :facepalm:

That deer must really have pissed you off.
How long did you chase it for?
I have never come up on a deer standing in the road. The old “deer in the headlights” seems to be a myth in Texas. On each of my encounters, the deer came leaping out of darkness, from the side. I’ve never encountered so many suicidal deer. The last time was just God awful. I had to be towed from the scene. A local took the carcass for harvesting. He said that spot has a lot of deer strikes. I bet he has a freezer full of venison to prove it.

Whats Ruining my friday the 13th? My wifes cousins. They have no plans on returning home until their daddy gives their stuff back. I am not one to judge anothers parenting style, but punishing them now seems a tad too late. I am a firm believer in not being my childrens friend. Friend denotes someone on the same level as you. A child will always be under you, until you are under them in the cold dirt. Its not like I cant be cool and nice to them, but as one half of their creators, its hard to want to try and buddy up with them. I listen to them, sympathize with them, and discipline them when needed, so there is no room for friendship. Cant spank your friends for doing something stupid (unless your kink aligns that way and its mutual and consented too.) So yeah, I want them out of my house. My two remaining teens want them gone. My wife wants to grind them into hamburgers and feed them to their parents. They are the epitome of entitled and disrespectful. Nothing is good, my house sucks, its not a mansion, my pool sucks, because its not huge. I wont let them drive my truck, or my Chevelle I am restoring. They sit around all day and mope and pout. If they werent family I would have told them to agitate gravel days ago.
Like dinner last night. My wife made her famous Full Day pot roast. She sets it up early in the morning, and lets it cook all day with all the trimmings. I would marry her ten times over if she fed that to me almost everyday. It is one of the best meals she makes. She even bakes fresh rolls to go with it after work. The girls were so disrespectful that they literally left the table and ordered a pizza. My wife used every ounce of patience she had not to kill them. I wanted to eat them just for the disrespect. My kids got pissed. Mom does not make this pot roast often. So its special when she does. The reason was she got a promotion at work. So yeah, I called their folks and got the "Let them stay to get it out of their systems" schtick. I said come get them tonight, or you can pick them up from CPS. They whined and bitched about it, and I flatly said I did not give a fuck about their plans, they raised two monsters that I want nothing more to do with. So hopefully they will be gone before I get home. I also will be charging room and board from their parents. So maybe today wont suck as much, as I sit here eating my pot roast sandwich.

Two days of what ruined my day.
Friday the 13th, what ruined my day was the 2 hour cluster fuck that was trying to get across the Mexico/US border coming north. It didn't help that the US CBP folks had two lanes closed, 1 lane for Sentri, 5 lanes for Ready Lane access and only 1 lane for all other traffic. Lesson to learn here -- don't cross the border on a Friday.
Yesterday's ruined day started last Wednesday. About an hour outside of Guerrero Negro, our vehicle started acting up. Confusingly, there was no error code (check engine light) showing. Thursday morning, after we had left Guerrero Negro, the check engine light comes on. At our first stop, I pull out my code reader and find that the error is P0740 -- Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid reading error. Because we had a schedule, I chose to keep on going, hopeful that we would reach our Canadian destination prior to checking it out. Well, we were in the process of leaving our hotel in Helena Montana when the transmission failed. We could go in reverse but when putting the vehicle in drive, it would not go anywhere. Got a tow and took the vehicle to a local shop and found out that it was a complete transmission failure and we need a new one.
Now, remember, we are in the middle of Montana. No automatic transmissions just laying around. The shop is bringing in a rebuilt transmission from Washington. Two days to get here. Then there is the problem of putting the job on the schedule. As a result, it looks like we are here for at least a week, possibly longer.

Years ago I met a guy in North Carolina who took a weekend off once a month to drive all the way to Montana, work on his retirement home, then drive all the way back. I'd have loved to hear more about his plans, but every time his wife walked into the room he changed the subject. She told me that she had no intention of quitting her job to go with him. As for what she intended to do when she herself reached retirement age, she responded with a shrug. I never did find out how that particular relationship ended.

The northwestern area of Montana, where Glacier National Park is located, is very pretty.

What is worse than having a thunderstorm outside, while stuck in comfortable homes?
Answer : getting caught up in it. Here we don't have tornadoes, But this is not insignificant either...
First winds started to blow, like really blow! The windows and doors of every room of the workspace started to bang like that David Guetta song. Then the trees' leaves started to shed, alongside some whole branches. Then the power went out. And the sky went yellow-brown due to all the dust.... No matter how much I tried to close the windows and doors of my room, the wind'd blow them wide open... And finally, as the dust storm reached it's peak, and very slowly started to reduce in intensity, Lightning struck, thunder boomed and rain took it's place.... Now stuck here for the past 20 minutes, covered very much in dust, waiting for it to subside, so as to avoid any fallen powerlines which might have fallen due to it...

Are thunderstorms like that seasonal in your part of the world?
Yep, during the summer months, more in the countryside though, P.S. Finally managed to get out, though now stuck in the traffic jam. On the plus side, that view of sunlight coming in from the right side of the sky, with the clouds receding towards the left, was great. Also, one of the boogeying trees was a mango one, so got 4 fresh ones.
Edit: Jam over, reason was that a huge billboard had fallen on the road, on a little E-rickshaw, very severely denting it. No one was injured though, as there hadn’t been any carnage. Apparently a lot of billboards and posters, and tents and banners had been wrecked throughout the very small part of the city traversed to get to home.

Are you sure he didn't mean a week off instead of a weekend?
How far is North Carolina from Montana? Quick answer: Nonstop drive: 2,074 miles (3338 km) Driving time: 31 hours, 5 minutes at a steady 67mph (108kph)
That's one way. Assuming you could drive it non-stop, even if you left at noon Friday you wouldn't get to Montana until 7pm Saturday, and you'd be pretty tired by the time you got there.

If I remember correctly, he took a long weekend, started early on Friday morning, drove right through the day and night, and arrived in Montana on Saturday morning. He was proud of the fact he could make the drive with only one pit stop. His wife thought he was completely mad. I wish I could provide details of the route he took, or how fast he drove. I just sat back and listened in awe while his wife glared at him.

Got back from the Bison release this afternoon. Slung the camera over my shoulder and picked up the extra lens in it's padded case. Slipped from my fingers and bounced a couple times on the garage floor.
It took me awhile to get up the nerve to look. Finally I did. The UV lens over the main lens was shattered. I couldn't get it to un screw and decided I'll leave that to an expert.
Got it years ago and was about $800 then. I'm in no position to replace it so will have to make do with my others.

We're busy working in the yard for what seems like the last week. Splitting plants and transplanting. Planting flowers. Putting down mulch. And every now and the we sneak in a bike ride or a jog. My body is aching.
Just showered. I was sooooo dirty. We have a game night with friends tonight. Relaxing and enjoying drinks. The one friend is a big bourbon guy and usually has some nice bottles. He texted in the group text that he has a surprise for me tonight.

I'm so sorry for you love. At some point life should realy start to hold back its punches, but you keep going. Love your spirit and constant defiance. Dont let it stop you now. The shots and boosters should help you out for sure. I got my booster on Wednesday.
Other than hearing about mmslaves day, my day was ruined by my legs giving out on me again. Had an extremely busy day yesterday working with dalmatians, and after I was helping some neighbors across the street. When it was all said and done, I was in the shower and I turned for my razor and my knees just stopped working and down I went. Had to crawl out of the shower and use a towel to get my phone off the counter so I could call for help. But the time Jake showed up, I was already back on my feet though. He helped me get dressed and to my bed. He stuck around for a bit and helped me.move my legs and see if I hurt anything else, and when he was sure I was ok, he left. I did call this morning and let him know that I'm moving slow, but doing ok. My legs back and shoulders are really sore, but thinking it's just as much because of the work I had done as much as it was from my fall.

That is sad to hear sir. Back in December, landed after a more than 1 foot high airtime on my left foot whilst running. The shockwave was such, I heard a pop kind of sound… plus later that night, had to attend a wedding, which had dance… Damn, the pain was for several days!

I was truly shocked to hear this while Mrs ODK and I were away on a city break. The BBC are reporting that the husband of one of the teachers has died from a heart attack. Also that the police were handcuffing parents that were pleading with them to enter the school. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61604652
I'm sorry USA but you just have to come to your senses and revise the gun laws. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41488081

Are superstitions true sometimes? I myself am a non-believer, so when I showed a single Myna sitting on the window grill to another person, I was told that it was unlucky to see a single one alone, My reply was “Really??” So I took the other person to a third person in a different room, to have them repeat the same to the third person… Obviously, during the conversation, my stuttering surfaced. (As it has been, for the past few years, so completely normal.) It got a bit bad, and I ended up biting the inside of my mouth. (Again, happens MANY times a year, so uncommon, but not that uncommon) But this time, I ended up drawing a bit of blood! (Never happened before!) Bad coincidence or something else….?

Well, I guess I’m joining the club here. Lois sent me an email, she didn’t know that my wife and I had separated last November. We’ve been living about 125 miles apart, and only see each other once or twice a month.
Yesterday she sent me a photo of her BP cuff reading. 170/120. Almost had a heart attack. I insisted she get to the emergency room as quickly as possible. Instead she went to a doc in the box, and they sent her to the emergency room as quickly as possible.
Her labs are all completely screwed up. Dehydrated, creatinine levels off the charts. She’s been taking a lot of drugs, legal and not, for back pain. It looks like she is having renal failure. They wanted to transport her to the big hospital in San Antonio. She refused. Instead she limped home and went to work last night.
We’ve been together for seven years, married for five. And while they weren’t always the best of times, they were never the worst of times. She suffered a nervous break down in 2017, and has never really been the same. But it seems like she is giving up on life, and I really don’t know how to handle it. Because I could completely rearrange my life over this, and it wouldn’t change anything.

We’ve taken her to the hospital on two suicide attempts. She refused treatment and walked both times. The experts tell me I could try to have her involuntarily committed, but she is oriented to person, time, and place, and denies there is a problem. She is very stubborn. And Russian. So there is kind of a stoic pride taken with suffering. I’ve got nothing.
The realization is, if I move back there and attempt to care for her, she’s going to reject that l, and resent that, and probably do worse than if I stay a safe distance away. And this is what’s so frustrating about it. Because I’m a person used to getting what I want. And I am not going to get what I want with her.

TIL: (More like TI-Confirmed) My eyes really are F'ed up. Last night, went to the cinemas after a long time. In the 2 hours and 15 minutes movie, on three different instances, the text in the main characters' phones was shown, And even though it was displayed on the literally big screen, I was unable to read anything clearly, although everyone else was easily able to. Then I realised something was really wrong. And thus, today went to the eye doctor... There I learnt, the myopic power has even deteriorated to Minus/Negative 6! And the power with specs, to 5/60 (L) and 6/60 (R). Therefore, I have two options, either change my lifestyle to minimise screen time, for the next 6-8 months, and afterwards, get a laser treatment to reverse whatever reversible part of the damage possible. Or, carryon this lifestyle and in 1-2 years, I'll be blind.
And thus, have removed about 3 of the most used applications. And have decided to switch to print media in whatever way I can.

What almost ruined my day?
New hires. Three of them. Apparently they are a team from another company who have been together since college. They are gunning for my office as its is slightly bigger than the current ones available. They want to share it, instead of being broken up. Fat fucking chance.
Management laid out some pro's for the switch:
1 dollar raise 2 extra days off a month AND Keys to the management restrooms.
I laid out the cons: Having to change my company phone number, and all my business cards Smaller office, no shelf space except for company shit. No wall space for my discreet pinup calendars or movie posters. Having to walk further from parking. Having to park further away. No TV. Next to the main meeting room. Next to cafeteria. No secretary. No Intern slaves. No outside door, except through the cafeteria No supply closet. More work load, as the side of the building they want to put me in is full of lazy fucks who cant string a sentence properly to save their lives. The new hires are smegma asshats, who the their fathers left the best part of them on the bed after they finished fucking their mothers. Arrogant, snobbish and down right fucky. No music. No door. No privacy. No books. No couch that took me half a day to drag in. No soda machine outside the door. Weird people all over there. No bathrooms within reasonable range.
Only Staci saved this day. She deserves a billion woo's

That last one caught my eye.
One day, when our new building was under construction, and we were crammed into temporary facilities, I spotted a huge sofa-bed jammed into a corridor. No one knew where it came from, and I was told that I was welcome to cart it away. It saved my life a dozen times when I had to work extra hours and didn't have the strength to stagger home for a few hours of sleep.

Long time ago I was doing extra duties (I was golfing instead being where I was supposed to be in the military) in the Base headquarters. There were three washrooms - Men, Women, and Officers. I noted this so that I could later check and find out what the anatomical differences were.

I know the feeling. My manager and his wife drank the Krazy Kool Aid a long time ago so they have the whole Right Wing Nutjob starter pack and expansion sets. Birtherism, Science Denial, 2A Extremism, Forced-Birth, Stolen Election, all of it. Fox News is "too liberal" for them. They were mad they couldn't get time off to go to January 6th. Of course this includes being Anti-Vax. Last fall to winter, they both came down with pretty bad cases of Covid. They were both in the hospital for weeks. She's looking at long haul Covid complications for probably the rest of her life. You'd think that would be enough to shake loose their beliefs right? Nope. He tells me earlier today they might have Covid again, and she's taking some "medicines" for it.
I wouldn't be so pissed if it were just their own lives at risk. Hell, I might even get a promotion out of it, Mirror Universe style. But they also have young grandchildren they spend a lot of time with that are too young to get the vaccine until it's approved for toddlers. They're risking their grandchildren's lives because they're too goddamned selfish and brainwashed to think clearly.

That kind of mindset has been studied in depth, but in the context of religions. Believers can tie themselves in mental knots explaining why the millenium didn't come, or why an 'immortal' guru died of a heart attack, or why miraculous healing powers don't heal.
One book comes to mind — When Prophecy Fails — but there are many, many more.

This was actually yesterday. We have a couple that leave their dog with us at least once a month when they travel to door county to whatever. Normally the wife picks up the dog, but yesterday it was the husband, they are really nice people and their dog is always happy and healthy. What wasnt happy was me when I brought their dog out and approached him. He was wearing sandles, and his feet were disgusting.
It's no secret that I hate feet as is, but his nasty yellow toenails were longer than his dogs claws. I literally gagged when I saw them and then did my best to never see them again. He asked if I was ok, and I said that I was feeling a little under the weather. Normally I'll squat down, pet their dog and say goodbye, but I didn't want to get any closer to those yeti feet.
If you're going to wear that kind of footwear, and expose other people to your feet, at the very least make them look healthy. So gross.

Guess that life has a luck balance. Yesterday was awesome irl, while abysmal here. TIL, that the harasser was banned, but RL-wise, had real bad luck while doing something really important. Followed by a long-awaited visit to the zoo, to meet the Zebra. Arriving at the gate, it slowly starts to rain. As I hurry towards the Zebra enclosure, the rain also increases in intensity. Fully drenched upon getting there, the sad thing is the Zebra is alone. (Previously, there were a pair of Zebras) also, the wire fence was replaced by the glass fence, with railings on both sides. Hence only see the Zebra. Difference, previously, just like people, Zebras would come to the edge of the fence, and everyone would feed them leaves and grass twigs through the fence. Not anymore though.

Today is a new federal holiday called Juneteenth. It commemorates the day, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, when federal troops arrived in Galveston Texas and informed the slaves that they had been “free” for two years. So last night, our millennial office manager sent out a memo to all employees that we were taking “half a day” off. Which to me just seems like the biggest fucking slap in the face. Either honor the holiday, and give everybody the day off, or ignore the holiday and pretend you are Arizona (or Florida). But giving people half a day off just says “black people are only worth four hours.” End of rant.

That's a fine rant.
It's especially galling because you are in Texas, the event being commemorated took place in Texas, and it has been celebrated as a holiday in Texas for well over a century.
Still, it's good to keep in mind that federal holidays only apply to the federal government and federal employees. All other employers -- including states, municipalities, schools,and -- most notably -- private employers are under no obligation to mark the holiday nor are they required to grant employees the day off.
But, as you note, obligation is one thing, and appropriateness is decidedly another.

I pull it out, gas it up, finally get it started (pulling my arm socket out in the process), 10 minutes later the power comes on. I plug the fridge back in the wall, roll up the extension cord, and just as I was about to put the generator away, I think, I should get the gas out of the tank on the generator. Thanks to neat freak Dan, the storage box in the garage that has the siphon house is easily found. I put the 75 pound generator on the table with gas can on the floor and suck on the hose and....... get a mouthful of gas.
Oh my god, the worst taste ever.

Had some fradulant charges on our credit card that the bank caught. Have to wait nearly a week for now cards to arrive. Feel naked not able to charge. :facepalm:
Wife called our insurance company. They take an automatic payment from the credit card twice a year. We didn't want the insurance people to cancel us when the payment didn't go through. Got A two week extension. Wife committed that we've been with the company over 30 years. Guy commented he hasn't even been alive that long. Both of us got a good laugh out of that. :D

Call from the estranged one. She was at ER again yesterday. Transported to the medical center in town. Renal failure. She was on dialysis for six hours yesterday. Six more hours planned for today. She’s only 43. Destroyed her kidneys with pain medication. She’s uninsured, under employed, and depends on me for everything. No family or friends. Doesn’t have a driver’s license. I don’t think she is sufficiently vested to get SSD payments. No idea what this means for her, or for me. Dark days ahead.

Her creatinine level is 8.0. Normal is about 1.0. So she has eight times the toxins in her kidneys as normal. And she kept talking about pain medicine. I’m trying to ask her about her medical condition and she just keeps saying “they won’t give me pain meds.” I knew this day would come, but I didn’t think it would come so soon.

Yes. And alcohol addiction. And steroidal addiction. And NSAID addiction. That’s what killed her kidneys.
She does have a serious lumbar injury. But she refuses to get an MRI to figure out what the heck is going on. Instead, she just keeps pumping drugs down herself. She’s got some circulatory issues. Her mother suffered from thrombosis. Her feet are so swollen some days, she can’t even get the shoes on. She has morphed from being a very slender, very attractive, vivacious young Russian educator to a bent over prematurely aged babushka. She can’t ambulate without a cane. And I’d say she spends every moment she isn’t it work, just laying in her own excrement, moaning.

Yeah Medicare is for the 65 and older crowd. Medicaid is a federally funded state supervised program. It is need-based. Meaning that you have to be at the poverty line to qualify for Medicaid. The problem is, we’re still officially married until the divorce is granted, and my income would completely wipe out her hope for being eligible. I’m gonna tell her we need to go ahead and finalize the divorce so she can get Medicaid, and possibly Social Security disability. She’s only worked three years in America, and I think you need to work five to qualify for SSD.

Well they’re keeping her in the hospital until Monday. And they’re going to do a biopsy. So that could mean cancer. She doesn’t understand anything the doctors tell her. And she can’t explain to me what’s going on. But she has had her third dialysis now, and is feeling a little more human.
What’s ruined my day is this SCOTUS decision, which basically announces a war on substantive due process. And that’s what gave us a right to procreative choice, contraception, same-sex and interracial relationships, and same-sex and interracial marriage. So all of that is back on the table. Nothing is guaranteed anymore. I literally feel nauseated. I left work early, and I’m at home, dry heaving.

I did not take it as an insult, you sir, have my fondest respect. I just really do not like being called a hillbilly. I only vented because everyone in my office lost there ever loving minds today because apparently Big Boss wants everyone to account for their time, since meetings are becoming populated by ill prepared people. It is not like meetings are a surprise things, there is a posted schedule, so there is plenty of time to prepare, so we don't look like asshats to new clients. And of course I got my ass chewed, not badly, because its my second day in power, and I can't even get a decent cup of coffee without an intern acting like I am a T-Rex about to eat them. I cleaned more coffee off of my floor today, than actually doing my job. Like I said, its one of those landmine topics, and I hold no grudges, because I respect all opinions, even if I do not subscribe to them. Besides, you are cool as all fuck to me, man. Much Respect.
*edit* I was not being sarcastic when I asked your opinion on what RBG said, because I read the article I posted, and she predicted this very thing happening when she was nominated by Clinton in the 90's So no worries man, I honestly wanted your opinion, because I know you, as a lawyer can hold a good debate/ argument. No disrespect.
Buy her some flowers for me. You also sound like you need a stiff drink. I suggest Arrogant Bastard Ale, and a good record to listen to.
I lived in the States long enough to pick up a social security number and a driving licence, but not long enough to understand the intricacies of the state/federal legal system.
The Supreme Court decision was telegraphed a few weeks ago, so it shouldn't have come as a shock, but it did. I feel truly, truly sorry for the women it will affect. Actually, I'm becoming a little emotional as I type this. I'd better stop before I choke up.

The site was honest, some will like it, most will hate it. Its a mean, mean ale, but sometimes, I need its kick to my ass.
Isn’t that the truth? I think that as we age, our taste buds become less sensitive. And so you start moving towards the strong ales, the stouts, the stinky cheese, the very spicy food... All the things that you would have hated when you were 20, now become almost essential when you’re 60. That’s my story. I’m sticking with it.

Story? more like Fact Of Life. I hated english peas growing up, cause they were too sweet, and also fish, but the fish thing was based off of a bad joke my dad played on me when I was little. My parents lived in a duplex where our neighbor was their friends, but Mrs. Sheryl had a huge aquarium with all sorts of pretty fish, that I was allowed to sit and watch. So my dad liked to fish, and came back with a small fish, and prepped it and cooked it and I asked where he got it, being to young to understand fishing, he said he got it out of Mrs. Sheryl's tank. From that point until I became an adult, that even the smell of fish cooking made me violently ill. But now, I am fine with it, as long as it's seasoned right and made good. But English Peas, still bother me, but not so much. But with beer, I really cant stomach some of the name brands, because most really do not have a good flavor to me any more, so I stock up on ABA.
Also, rule of thumb for some of you new drinkers:
When offered a beer, your preference is Free, and Cold. Because with beer prices rising, being picky when someone shares is rude. Politely decline if you must, but suck it up if they are being kind, or you are at their place. I have had too many people over here this summer bitching about what I stock, like I am supposed to spend hundreds of dollars for the off chance you might visit. Just drink what you are offered, or do not drink at all, or bring your own. I am not going hunting for a specific IPA made by a local, obscure brewer that only 1 store carries in 1 month, once a year. Not being mean, but seriously, dont like my swill, bring your own. I will not be offended.

I am a Nietzsche fan. Read it all.
The Orthodox have a very nice 2000+ year old tradition. Burial within three days. No embalming. Open casket. The night before burial rights, a vigil is held.
So sitting in a darkened sanctuary at 3 a.m., reciting the psalms over your dead friend’s body until sunrise, gives you time to reflect on the transitory nature of life.
At the service the following morning, the body is treated as an icon of Christ, and everyone, toddlers to geriatrics, line up to venerate and kiss the deceased. Most typically on the forehead or hands, but the very close will kiss on the lips. There is no fear of death, because we all know that soon it will be our turn.
Appreciate your kind words, and consider you a friend.

I consider myself fortunate to have met you online. I lean a little towards Epicurean beliefs. You sound a bit that way too, if I am wrong, correct me. Epicurus said not to fear death, for it will come, and the engraving on his tombstone was awesome, but his followers tombstones sounded like a big eff you to any mourners.

Strange you would quote Nietzsche, as he could be categorized as a nihilist in the descriptive sense. He believed that there was no longer any real substance to traditional social, political, moral, and religious values. He denied that those values had any objective validity or that they imposed any binding obligations upon us. I’m not that far gone, but I certainly understand the sentiment.

He denied that those values had any objective validity or that they imposed any binding obligations upon us. I’m not that far gone, but I certainly understand the sentiment.
I also subscribe to some of the teachins of John Calvin, and Thomas Hobbs, when I learned the comic strip calvin and hobbs was based off of the two men. But from my viewpoint while nihilistic, Nietzsche had some views on human morality, like in Beyond Good and Evil, I interpreted it to basically him saying your damned if you do, your damned if you don't. But with his works, you can almost see a pattern that could be woven into a tapestry of my personal philosophy of Fuck it.
Fuck it, is simply put, my notion that you can be a good person, with or without religion, or even societal influence, its just having to over come baser desires, that if left unchecked leads people to doing bad or wrong things. But, also being too righteous is just as toxic, as while you may be viewed as a paragon, there will always be that one moment in life where you will be brought low, and exposed. Not as a fraud, but as a human. Because I have seen and read so much on people who set themselves up, by choice or by others to be "good" and that one moment of understanding would shatter a thousand moments of hiding behind the mask of virtue.
Also a firm believer in "The road to hell is paved in good intentions." That is why I vehemently distrust people who say things like "For the greater good, or The right side of history." As if they were appointed by some high power to be the judge of all that is good and right. And will they be victorious, because last time I checked, history was written by the people who won.
But all in all, Nietzsche fascinated me in high school, and into college, as everyone assumes he was a nazi sympathizer, but in reality, it was his sister, after he went insane who stolen his works and turned it into propaganda.
Just like Voltaire and Alighieri. Voltaire was a biting, critical political satirist, as was Alighieri. The Inerno was a big fuck you towards his rival political faction, the white Guelephs (sp) and everyone he seen during his time fucking shit up. Remove religion from it, and you got a long political hit piece on most major Italian political figures at the time.
I also truly loved "The Prince" by Machiavelli. "A good ruler must be feared by his people rather than loved. For if he is feared, the hard choices he has to make for their survival will be accepted with little resistance, but if he is loved, when he has to make the hard choices, he will face their scorn and betrayal."

Amen, and here is for you: “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” That truly is how I feel when I meet people with differing views, as no one has lived long enough yet to show anyone a right way to do anything.

Simply to fill in some holes that my faith could not. Sometimes I get wild ideas or thoughts in my head, and when I research them further, I find that there was someone long before I existed who had the same thoughts, and I also like knowing things, but not being a know it all.

My interest in oriental religion and philosophy is one reason why I side-stepped the western tradition.
Back in school, one of my teachers asked me why I was interested in oriental mysticism. “You don’t have to go that far afield, you know,” he said. “You might be interested in Vladimir Lossky’s Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church.”
I bought a copy and read it, but still ended up drifting farther and farther east.

Back in school, one of my teachers asked me why I was interested in oriental mysticism. “You don’t have to go that far afield, you know,” he said. “You might be interested in Vladimir Lossky’s Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church.”
I bought a copy and read it, but still ended up drifting farther and farther east.

When I had taken Philosophy of world religion in college the professor made it her point to point out that Buddhism and Christianity share similar values, the only main difference between the two was that Buddhism does not require a sacrifice for salvation, just adhere to the 8 fold path.
I devoted myself to reading, and learning, because from an early age I was physically different than everyone around me. I needed a 5th graders desk in kindergarten to sit at, as I was taller and built more than the other kids, which led to much ridicule. "Oh he's just big and dumb" or my personal favorite, "He might as well quit school and work full time" (As If I could at 6 and up, because its oh so plausible that a small kid can work like an adult, or that the law would have nothing to say about it.) My neighbors when I was growing up, would feed me knowledge i needed through books. Told me I was more than what I looked like, and can be so much more than a meat brick.)

The “Substitutionary Atonement” theory, and particularly Christ dying for our sins as a sacrifice, really didn’t gain ground until the 14th Century, then took off with the Protestant reformation. The early church teachings were that Christ died to defeat death, so that man would not have to. Not as a sacrifice, but as a savior.
Orthodoxy does not preach being saved by grace, but rather seeking Theosis (unity with God) that is very similar to enlightenment. And it is a path, not an event. So no easy “sinner’s prayer” or “once saved always saved.” Bummer. You mean I need to work on this?
Finally, and most disturbing to western adherents, hell is not a place, it is merely separation from God. And that is a choice made by the individual, not the Creator.
Mind blowing stuff. When I was a kid, they told us in Sunday school about the Book of Acts. Then something called the “Dark Ages.“ Then Martin Luther nailing his treatise on the doors of the church in 1517. So roughly 75% of the church’s history was ignored. I was so amazed to learn about early teachings and writings of the saints that are largely forgotten or ignored. Always a treat to uncover another volume for analysis and reflection.

Brother ended up in the emergency room because he drinks stout beer.
He was drinking some.bloody Mary's with friend and had a drink spear that he was bending and folding and just playing around with. When he finished his body mary, he dropped the spear in the empty glass, or so he thought. It somehow ended up in his beer, and he didnt realize it, and because stout is so dark he didnt see it.
The spear ended up lodged in his throat. He couldnt swallow and breathing was very difficult. They got him to the hospital rather quickly and had him on oxygen but the spear was still in there. It took about 30 more minutes until the ears, nose, throat doctor showed and pulled the spear out.
Brother is doing good. Throat is sore and he sounds like a shit when he talks but he wont have any long lasting problems. Told him he'll have to switch to pale ale or lagers so he can see what's in his drink

I replied to him that I found it quite gross. When he asked why it was gross, I clarified and said his thumb nail was gross and he needs to wash his damn hands. He hasn't texted back since.

My phone started blowing up about 8:30 AM local time this morning. This always happens before a holiday weekend. Everybody’s got a list of things they want their lawyer to do, so they start calling and texting. I kept pushing back my morning shower and coffee, and next thing I knew it was 3:30 in the afternoon, and there was no fucking way I was going to even get into the office. So I took the last call around 5 o’clock, put the phone on mute. Three day weekend. God bless America.

A big customer/client meeting today, and all we had to do, is come up with a nice package to sell them, and no one could do it. I had to come from my office, into a meeting I was not part of, to help save a group I am not responsible for, because their manager fucked off to narnia for a long liquid lunch. Not making myself out to be a hero, because quite frankly, the clients were transferred from our department to the department that handles "problem" (I.E. those who have trouble paying what they owe, or are generally rude or insufferable.) I had dealt with them often before the transfer, as they would have eyes bigger than their wallets. They would order equipment from us, expecting top of the line, but at bargain basement prices. My boss at the time almost lost his job when they told him their budget, and our distributors would generally laugh in our faces when we told them their offers. So no, I was no hero today, and its a pretty solid bet that they will take their business elsewhere.
If I have not said so, we basically wholesale heavy diesel equipment, that would be considered overstock to rental companies and major contractors. My job is to go over documents to check things for errors. Well that was before I became a low end manager, now I have to crack the whip, on top of keeping my workflow solid. I was so angry, I had to leave for a few to go scream at clouds. How hard is it to say "Look, you don't have enough for three bulldozers AND a Lull." I mean the clients were asshats, but not stupid. Once they got the point, it would be easy to make a sale on stock that's not as wonderful as named brand, but still better than nothing, and still pretty good too. Nope, they wanted what they wanted, and could not afford it. The meeting should have ended there, but that department was hard up for a sale. Amateurs.

Yes. She has been officially reprimanded. HR ladies don't play. She played the woman's problem card, from the office gossip, and kind of lost the hand, when she came back reeking of booze. They wont fire her yet, because its her first major offense. They only give two chances when it comes to drugs and alcohol use on company time. Failure to comply, or continuing will get her ass fired. So she has to walk a thin line, because I know HR will be watching her like a hawk. Much appreciated. Its irksome, but part of what it takes to get paid.
Also I am Highly Terrified of HR. I try to stay off their radar as much as possible. But I also have to help them, by helping mediate problems, because hurr durr, you big stronk man. But I joke with them about the fact that they are freakishly scary, that they do not need me sitting in their meetings, dealing with problems. They laugh, I laugh, I get told to sit down, I sit and be quiet. fun times.
*Last Edit*
But there is a brightside to helping HR, and that is, no one can chew me out if I am called to help HR. Reports due, nope, need more time, HR has me until after lunch. "Well, fuck, okay, finish them when you can." "Yes Ma'am."

I just got off the phone with my cousin. He said a couple days ago, he got a call from an 888 number. He figured it a telemarketer or scammer, so he didnt answer. Two nights ago around 10 pm he got another call, and his fiancee told him to just answer it, when he did, he said there was a bunch of noise and talking in the background, and then said he head somebody speaking a different language and then they hung up. Again thinking scammer or something like that. He shrugged it off and went to sleep.
Last night around 10 again, he gets a text from the same number. What did the text read?
S
That's it. one letter. He was confused and blocked the number, but this morning he thought of me and called. I've told him about Asmodel a few times, and I am seriously terrified that creepy little psycho is trying to call me.
The email attached to this site is part of a group of "burner" emails my cousin and I use for exactly this type of thing. I've blocked everything I can think of and shared the email Asmodel was using so he can block that too.

I got a phone call from an 888 number the other day, and I never answer those. But I ran it on a Google inquiry, and it turns out that the number is from a scam country. It has very high international rates that are billed to your phone, $9/minute or more.
The scam is said to have originated in Japan and is called Wangiri. The word wangiri in Japanese means “one ring and cut.”And this is exactly what the scammers do.
So they call you, through a host. If you pick up the phone, the host redirects your call to the international number. If you don’t pick up, but call the number back, it goes straight to the expensive international number. Either way you get billed some expensive numbers.
This sounds like what happened to your cousin. He needs to check his phone bill.
As far as Asmodel is concerned, that guy really knows how to get in peoples heads. I found myself spending way too much time thinking about it, checking new member accounts, looking for anyone of a number of incarnations that he’s had here. When a guy picks the name “Creepy“ believe him the first time. And yes Captain Jack (and Kittykat), I’m talking to you.

Thanks love, I feel a bit more at ease, but still pretty freaked the hell out. The whole texting thing is what threw him off, not to mention it is a local area code.
I googled the number as well and for a "Shoppe Thailand"
I even msg'd captain with my doubt, he denied it. of course
Well remember, he’s 10 hours ahead of the states, so when you look at activity peaking around 2 AM our time, it is noon in Bangladesh. And he just has a very unique linguistic pattern, phraseology, and choice of words. The minute Captain Jack started praising Miss Barbara for her “incredible“ comments, I knew who we were dealing with. As far as Kittykat is concerned, he was talking about how he wished he had known KitKat and lo and behold 30 minutes later there’s a new account created using her name. He spent this morning reading all of Psiberzerker’s stories (another strange obsession), and couldn’t resist commenting on two of them. Including one with a six year old. So I reported that to the moderators.
I’m just not technically savvy enough to know how to block VBN accounts. He’s the only person reporting from Bangladesh. So it seems like we should be able to block that entire ZIP Code, but the VBN makes that almost impossible, I’m told.
At least we are not being spammed with memes and cartoons. He is a child.
Right? It's sad that every single new member I have to look at with scepticism. Is he or she new or "new"?
New members have a typical pattern of behavior, because they are not familiar with board personalities and conventions. They come by to say hello, post a few little things here and there, and sort of ease into the waters.
When you have a “new“ member directing comments to other members with obvious familiarity and posting in pics and vids on day one, they are *always* a reincarnation of a former member. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, we all come and go. But when you’re banned, you’re banned.

Should I be worried by one-ring calls?
I don't remember getting any when I had a regular landline telephone, but a few years ago we switched to fiber internet and for a small additional fee our phone calls are also routed through the fiber network.
About once a week I get a one-ring call on the phone. I went to our ISP's support page and read that they implement some kind of spam call blocker, but that occasionally it's a little slow to respond and one ringtone gets through.
That's reassuring — up to a point. But now I know about "wangiri" scams, I'm beginning to worry again.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: Pornhubby on July 03, 2022, 02:07:53 AM
I think the challenge is the use of a local host. So the wangiri number can look quite innocuous. My rule is, if I don’t know you, I let your first call roll over to voicemail. I have 100’s of names, people, courts, and businesses in my contacts list. I check the voicemail transcript and add you to my contacts.
Phone calls are increasingly rare. My firm’s case management software creates a unique number for each client’s text messages. I’d say 90% of my communication with clients now is via text or Zoom.

Zoom is something that caught me flat-footed. I recall using Skype a decade or so ago, then nothing until the Covid outbreak, when suddenly everyone was using Zoom as if it was as old as Edison.
Apart from spammers, people seem to have abandoned plain-text email. Maybe it'll go the way of the telegram and the telex.

I definitely am. I know what he going through at least to an extent. I have my moments as well, but it has to be a specific firework. Little firecrackers dont really bother me, but if it has a big enough boom when I'm not expecting it, I'll jump in my skin, but I consider myself lucky that it doesnt effect me more. Four years instead of just two may be a factor as well.
I send him a text asking how hes holding up, and resisting the urge to send descriptions and or pics of my late night lake trips.

I caught a nasty little summer cold. I crept up on me yesterday, and this morning my sinuses are horrible, and I'm all phlegmy. I went to bed super early last night, and I'm in no mood to get up any time soon. I dont even want to get up to get coffee.
I do hope that you feel better soon. Many moons ago (in the early '80s) my grandmother and mother came to visit me while I was serving in San Diego. Granny came down with a cold/flu within the first day or so she was there. So, I helped relieve her symptoms with my version of Spanish Coffee -- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1 ounce of good brandy, 1 ounce of Kaluha and coffee to fill. Whipped cream on top with a little added drizzle of Kaluha. That seemed to relieve the symptoms. Either that or being half snapped for the week helped just enough for her to enjoy the sight seeing that we did.

I don't have kaluha or brandy, but I've got baileys and tequila... what would that be? Mexican coffee?
I'm sure CT could come up with something involving baileys cream liquor...
I just realized I don't think Shiela has sinus troubles, but rather that her growlicular plumbing is backed up from poor Allan's neglect ;D
So what you're saying is I'm not coughing up phlegm but my own... well thanks for that gross mental image 🤢

Stayed in bed most of the evening and night. Both dad and Allan called told them both to stay away. Told dad I'll be fine and I dont want him getting sick. Told Allan he can kiss my ass, and hung up on him.
My sinuses are sore, and I'm all kinds of stuffed up. Drinking coffee actually hurts but I keep.doing it because I feel like I'm punishing my sinuses... I know stupid, but its helping me cope, lol. I Called in sick so I wont even be around cute little fuzzy, furry, buddies.

I’m coming over with some Vicks and a box of Kleenex. I’ll give you a nice menthol rub you won’t forget soon.
I feel 100% better today. Most of my secondary symptoms are easing with a little Sudafed. I have a Covid test scheduled for noon. I pray it’s negative.
I really have a lot going on in my life right now. The ex is being discharged from the hospital today. I have no idea what’s going to happen to her, and it just makes me sick with worry. I’ve never had a SO die before. Feels very weird.

Made it to the track at 11:15. I don't like to run when the sun is up that high unless it's below 75. We'll, it was 85 and full sun and I was dying. Planned on 3, but stopped at 2, then I did each aisle (10) of bleachers (40 rows). I didn't rush it, just "little train"'d it. M was done after 15 minutes and found shade. I told her 8am or earlier from now on, if she's not ready, I'm leaving without her.

I was enjoying a social media thread tonight, with a friend of mine, who is selling collagen pills, so I posted a photo of me, very modified by Faceapp, to look about 30 years younger than I am. And I said “individual results may vary by person.” Well her husband, also a friend, chimed in, and I thought we were having a jesting conversation, and then he says “you are the most disgusting old angry man I have ever known, how dare you talk to my wife that way! You are a sick excuse for a human being, etc. etc.“ I mean it was like going from a mild border skirmish, if that, to full-blown nuclear war. And I had to block them both. And the amazing thing is this rat bastard writes “spiritual” guide books, and considers himself a sage. I wouldn’t ask him for advice on how to unplug a toilet. Well I was sad to lose two so-called “friends,” but I guess it’s a comment on the nature of friendship in the 21st-Century. A buzz killer.

I've met a bunch of spiritual guides, channelers, clairvoyants and whatnots. From anonymous amateurs to notorious crooks, but they all shared a passion for fame and fortune. Especially the latter. And they don't take kindly to having their inflated egos pricked with a sharp instrument.

People here will confirm that I have a unique ability to offend people. Often without trying. But in this instance, I swear to God, I said *nothing* offensive about him or his wife. We were having a playful jesting conversation and apparently I chose the wrong set of words that just sent him into orbit a lá Will Smith. But you know someone that is always touting their latest book on social media and Amazon and saying “oh look at me I am so wise and spiritual” that’s usually a red flag that they are neither.

I knew people like that, can't joke with them, can't even poke them a little. I am sorry you had to lose friends over it, but then again, on the other hand, were they really your friends to begin with, or were you supposed to be some blind, silent, follower who they could use to make connections. To be blunt, either way no big loss (unless you actually liked them, but from what I read, you sounded not so close, if they get offended at some joking banter.)

This morning, I have an appreciation for how Chris Rock felt after Will Smith attacked him at the Oscars. I guess I feel disillusioned, because I genuinely liked, and even admired, this fellow. And we’ve had many conversations, online and over Zoom, through the years. And he just literally lost his shit. Totally disproportionate response to anything that was said or done . Anyway, I’m still smarting.

Such sudden personality shifts can be the result of physical irregularities in the brain. I knew a soft-spoken Irish guy who was close to my idea of a perfect gentleman. We lost touch for a while, and when I asked colleagues if they knew what had happened to him, I heard an extraordinary tale. He began exhibiting odd and very uncharacteristic behavior. Like sending people messages full of grossly obscene insults. His wife divorced him, he quit his job, and then he disappeared.

It’s really making me rethink and reevaluate my entire relationship with him. Because he really holds himself out to be a “Superman,” but a lot of his conduct does not align with that. Like the time he announced he was going to conduct a spirituality seminar, and had everyone buy three books for it, and then held only one class. I blamed it on the pandemic, but we were all kind of scratching our heads over that one.
Then yesterday he showed up on my social media page, and was questioning me about one of my children, and implying that I didn’t love him as much as the others, because I never post about him. And I was thinking, what the fuck do you care? And the truth of the matter is that child is an adult now, he has a job, and I don’t really have a whole lot to say about him. And my child prefers it that way. So I think he was already sharpening his knives. But he really unloaded on me in a totally profane and ugly way.

I've had people turn on me like that two or three times throughout my life, and later I always wonder whether I shouldn't have done more to see what all the anger was about and try to talk things out. But then I eventually figure, if the person had truly been a good friend, they wouldn't have acted like that in the first place, or they'd at least have reached out to me later on to explain their actions.

His wife was selling collagen tablets online. And she had a bunch of “before and after” photos. I have something called “face app“ that can radically change a person’s photographic appearance. So I redid my face to make me look like I was 12 years old, and screen captured a side-by-side, and posted “individual results may very by person.“
It was a joke, it was not intended to offend anyone. I still think it was funny. But holy shit, he just absolutely came unglued, cursed me out, and accused me of molesting his wife in public. I think he thought I was hurting sales. Anyway they’re both a lot younger, and I’m just going to stay the fuck away from them.

This has probably been building for a while, and hes been trying to hide it from both of you, and then he went over the edge. Sorry it happened, always sucks to lose people to a misunderstanding.

The behavior was so out of character, and so disproportionate to anything that was said or done, he was either having an extremely bad day, or I accidentally triggered him.
There's another possibility to account for the behavior. Something called 'Right Man Syndrome" or 'Violent Man Syndrome'. First described by a scifi writer called Van Vogt.
A 'Right Man' (or woman) can be perfectly kind and gentle, until someone contradicts them. Then he exhibits a violent reaction. IIRC correctly, actor Peter Sellers was a classic example of this syndrome.
I think the medical term is narcissistic personality disorder ;D
And that could quite simply be it. The guy has all of the “bells and whistles” of success. He is a successful lawyer, a published author, a commended spiritual individual. But holy shit this was not spiritual. This was somebody totally fucked up in the head.

There was a person like that in my family, and it was a nightmare dealing with her. None of the clinical terms seemed to fit her, but the simple phrase 'control freak' described her perfectly. She was sweetness and light when things were going her way; a foaming-at-the mouth harridan when they weren't.

There is a new Republican cult in Texas called the Freedom Caucus.

My mom hid her declining health from me, and today had to be taken by ambulance to the er. She has Uterine Cancer that now has spread to her ovaries. She also refused to use her CPAP machine, and then stopped taking her heart and blood pressure medicine. So I get a call from my sister that my mom was rushed to the hospital.

I remember when my grandfather did the same thing, stopped taking his medication, exercising, following doctors’ advice etc., and he just fell over in the living room and died.
My mother is 78 and lives by herself in Wyoming, 1,000 miles away. She has 8 grandchildren she never sees. I have tried to get her to come back to Texas, even taking care of her but she is a serious introvert, almost to the point of hermetic isolationism.
In January, she fell down some 20 exterior stairs covered in icy snow. Landed in the hospital. Did not even call me. That’s when I knew I was pretty low on her list. I am the only one of her children who still talks to her.

Thank you. She has always been this way. I was 9 when she had to have her kidney removed. Did not tell me or my siblings anything, just "Hey your crashing with your grandmother for awhile." because my mom and dad were separated at the time. Then, five years ago she slipped in the bathroom and broke her hip joint and femur, and had to have a titanium rod installed with a new joint. The only thing I heard was "I was in the hospital, I am fine now." She seemed okay week before last, when she and my dad showed up to drop off the motorcycles after cutting their vacation short to return home. Mom was so worried second oldest was using her house to party in that they came home to nothing. No party, Second oldest reading a book listening to the radio. My dad was so mad he would not talk to my mom for a couple of days, and now, the only people she talked to is my brother and sisters. And they tell me she was out of her mind, talking about people in her house, sleeping upstairs, when the house they moved into when all of her kids flew the nest has no upstairs, attic or anything like that, and then even more crazy shit. Now shes in the er, they are planning to keep her, and my grandmother is there, calling me to fill me in. I want to scream, rage and cry, but honestly, I can't.
I can't muster the tears. I love my mom dearly. I think I mentioned this before, but when I was young, I was a horrible kid. from kindergarten to when I was eleven, I was a monster. Everyone who knew my mom told her that they would not blame her if she put me up for adoption, and try again for better kid. My mom would get furious at them, saying "I loved that boy, from the moment his heart started beating, to when he was born, I held him on my chest and loved him every day since." So I cannot just abandon her, but I cannot cry. I want to so badly. I want to break down, because I have said some pretty harsh things to her in my past, words now I wish I never said.
I am sorry everyone, this is lame. No one comes here to lament, but to fap and have a good time. I am sorry for ruining the mood. Everyone have a good and wonderful rest of the day.

Call from the estranged one. She was at ER again yesterday. Transported to the medical center in town. Renal failure. She was on dialysis for six hours yesterday. Six more hours planned for today. She’s only 43. Destroyed her kidneys with pain medication. She’s uninsured, under employed, and depends on me for everything. No family or friends. Doesn’t have a driver’s license. I don’t think she is sufficiently vested to get SSD payments. No idea what this means for her, or for me. Dark days ahead.
How is she doing these days? :'(

But she is supposed to receive dialysis today and I have no idea if she has lined that up. Also a question of her job and if she will return to work. I am looking for a roommate to sublet an empty bedroom in the house. That will take some of the financial distress off.

This must be one of the biggest jackpots in US history. I can only remember it hitting $1 billion one time before, and I think there were 4 winning tickets sold, so they “only” got $250 million each. We should all have that problem.
If one person wins this time, it will be the biggest lottery win in US history.

Just checked my MegaMillions ticket. I didn't win.
Another $10 to be spent on five more tickets since the new jackpot for Friday's drawing is over $1 billion.
Already looking at Mega Yachts. I like the Italian designs of Bennatti personally.
Be sure to come back here and tell us when you win it. My begging emails are ready to go....

I'd have to be locked up in the nuthouse for a few months if I won a 'mere' $250M or more. I'd probably have to get a StanCraft, to moor up to Jules' super yacht, but other than that I'm pretty much clueless.
PS Jules: Great taste in Yachts. Just make sure it has a mooring option ;)

As I've never bought a lottery ticket, I always know my chances of winning. :D
Should I break down and buy one and go on to win big, guess I'd have to see how much I'd be able to give away in the year or so I have left. Animal shelters and wildlife refuges would be big winners.

I'm once again dealing with the grieving dick-swinging contest surrounding an old friend who passed last month.
Short version, an old friend of mine died last month. We were friends all throughout high school, hung out as part of the same group. We went on a couple dates, but it didn't work out. Every time we were together we'd party, and things would get crazy when our group would get together. That was when we were teens to early twenties. Over time we drifted apart, but stayed in touch via social media. I moved across the city while her and a few of the rest of the group stayed in the same little shithole suburb we grew up in. She stayed in the same town, doing the same stuff over and over. She drank. A lot. While the rest of our group moved away and cut back on the partying, she kept going egged on by her 'family'. I never got along with her blood family. They reminded me too much of my own, and the less said about them the better. Eventually she falls into a depression where she drinks more and more which leads on to more depression to more drinking and so on until she's a full-blown alcoholic. Somehow she stayed sober during her pregnancy, but just barely. From what I understand she kept drinking until a short while ago when doctors discovered cirrhosis of the liver. She was sick for the last few weeks but didn't tell any of her friends. Her 'family' says she wanted it that way.
She died about a month ago right after her birthday in the early 40's, and her 'family' told her friends that they would have a celebration of life for her in the coming weeks, when everyone was ready. Turns out I wasn't the only friend who didn't get along with her family. They had a small ceremony consisting only of her mom, her brother and sister, a couple other relatives, and one friend who was a major kissass and born-again Christian. You know, the everyone darker than a latte is evil and my abortion is the only moral abortion kind of Christian. I tried to date her when we were younger. I was an idiot back then. Still am, but was then too.
In the U.S., a month is usually more than enough time to pull together a small memorial service. But since the family didn't say anything to any of the friends, two of her friends took matters into their own hands. They created a social media group for all of the deceased's friends and family and even booked a pavilion at her favorite park.
Well, no good deed goes unpunished with these fuckers.
The family immediately rips into the friends that organized this, calling them cold and callous. The boyfriend/fiance yelled at them for ignoring his feelings by saying he "wasn't ready" to do this. Her sister pulled the "grieve how you want" card but said no one can attend because they didn't want to see her friends and this isn't "what she wanted." This started a fight with a bunch of the friends who then asked when they could get together to grieve for their friend. This is when the kissass told the friends there already was a small service and only SHE was invited because the friend that died didn't want a big funeral. This caused a few more ugly arguments and one of the organizers sharing the text messages she had with the dead woman's family where they said this service and plan was a good idea as long as they didn't have to pay for it. The friends were going to pay and I was getting ready to call up a caterer friend of mine in the area. This caused a couple of the deceased's 'family' to call out more of the friends basically calling them liars and manipulative shits. A few other friends picked fights with the family about how much they missed their friend but because of their shitty behavior, they weren't allowed to mourn their friend together. Then the sister pulled the "we're in pain" card, as if she's the only person who lost someone.
Eventually the friends that created the group closed it, shutting the whole thing down. There's a lot of us that want to mourn our friend, but now if and when we do so it will be on our terms. Our group has lost too many friends too soon. We were ride or die back in the day. Hell, some girl tried picking a fight the deceased friend back in the day and I drove all of us an hour out of town to whoop some ass. Out of the 9 people in the car that night, only 4 of us are still here.
I'm a writer, so I will mourn her the best way I know. But I will remember how her 'family' lied to us, manipulated her, and treated us so badly. I will not forget how ugly they've become. At least I know who my future villains are. I have no compunction about taking their ugliness to a whole a new level.

I've heard it said that when you marry someone, you marry their family. If you're lucky, you can divorce the family without divorcing your partner, but that usually turns into a world of pain.
Why, oh why, are people so cruel to one another? You'd think we have enough problems getting through life without the kind of viciousness you describe.

I’m fairly confident in my belief that your friend has no awareness or concern regarding the timing, location, or participants, in her memorial observations. Funerals are for the living. So her family are unstable shits. Which may explain why she died young from alcohol induced cirrhosis. I think you all should have a wake, invite only the people that you want to be there, and give yourself time to grieve, laugh, and offer mutual support. You don’t owe the family anything. Certainly not an invitation or explanation. I would treat them as dead, because they are to you, and just move on.
And wishing you the best. I’ve lost way too many friends in the last few years. Including my very best, and closest, wing man.

Been through the same with a dear friend. Don't be discouraged by how her family wants to remember her. You were the ones close to her, and you were the ones who knew her true self. So take your goodbyes in her spirit, the way she'd have wanted to.
It's a cliché, but you do have my heartfelt sympathies LT.

Thanks peeps. My friend barely talked about her family growing up, and I'm convinced at this point that a large reason she drank so much was because of their bullshit. Our crew used to party a lot. Like, crazy stories of waking up in dumpsters and surfing on the back of a car down main street kind of stupid drinking. But everyone went one of two ways. We either confronted our demons and got them under control to move on and grow on, or we didn't. For years, a lot of us thought she had conquered hers but it turns out her demons won in the end.
I'd forgotten about most of the interactions I had with the friend's family over the years, but remembered a few things after jogging the memory. I met her brother three times. In two of those occasions we swung at each other.
Like you said Pornhubby, funerals are for the living. It's a chance for the living to say goodbye, maybe reunite with old friends and family, and try to make right for the things they did wrong, even if just for a short time.
If her 'family' wants to be dicks, so be it. We'll have our own wake, with blackjack and hookers.

Go out have the biggest bash that you know she would have enjoyed. My passive aggressive side says to share eveything that happens with the family, but the rest of me is just saying move on and put those pieces of trash 8n the review mirror where they belong. 💋

According to available information from Ukrainian intelligence, mercenaries of the Russian private military company, the Wagner Group, killed all of the Ukrainian prisoners of war in the temporarily occupied town of Olenivka in Donetsk region. Initial reports are the Wagner Group embezzled the entire budget for the prison complex, so decided a false flag attack and genocide was the solution to being held accountable.
I posted about this on Facebook, and got put in Facebook jail again. For “supporting terrorist activity.” Yes Facebook, that’s why I called it genocide and a war crime, for which the Russians must be held responsible. I am so sick of the police bots on social media.

Stepped out of the house and missed a step. Fell down three stairs. I sat there until the initial pain subsided (me hitting my head and the pain in my shoulder), but the pain in my ankle and foot never left. I tried walking on it and couldn't put weight on it. Went for an Xray. Nothing broken thankfully, just a severe sprain, mainly foot. It's across the top of my foot leading down into my pinky, and across the bottom of my foot across the arch. . Ankle is slight sprain. Knee is very slight sprain. I still can't walk on it. It's a bad hobble. Dan keeps yelling at me because I keep getting up. God am I sore. I'm just sitting here trying to roll my ankle in circular motions, bending my toes, trying to stretch it out and keep it moving. Put weight on it and I want to fall to the floor.

Never tried it. Directly into the mouth as I administer oral sex, I'm good with. Licking it, drinking it, or it entering my mouth on other ways, not so much.
To bed at 10:30. Awoke at 3:30 and never fell back to sleep.
Left the bedroom and was able to make some coffee and carry it to the family room without spilling it as I hobbled across the rooms. Can't put hardly any weight on it. It is more swelled across the top of the foot. Any pressure I put on the ball of my foot radiates to the entire core between toes and heel. F it hurts.

Dont keep putting weight on it, but don't stop moving it either, just do it slowly and carefully. Maybe use a travel mug when getting coffee next time, less chance of spilling. I've got more travel mugs than regular mugs for when my legs go bad on me. Just an idea.
Hope it's a quick recovery for you. 💋

So, wife caught the spiky dodgeball (better known as COVID). Sessions are now online for a week, and Munchkin and I will be going in tomorrow for PCRs to make sure we didn't catch it either. (And so close to Dad's 70th, too.) Keep you all in the loop about this; I know I'll be complaining about the PCRs tomorrow, since I'm not keen on things going up my nose, and Munchkin will actively push the swab away if you try.

My uncle died this spring. I brokered a deal between my other uncle and my cousin over where he would be buried. They were threatening to sue each other over the last remaining spot in the family crypt. So cousin reschedules the burial and doesn’t tell me, because she thought I would tell surviving uncle, and you know, we like to have secret burials in our family. Fucktards.

So sorry to hear about that Ao1. Paxlovid is an oral antiviral pill that can be taken at home to help keep patients testing Covid positive from getting so sick that they need to be hospitalized. So, if you test positive for the coronavirus and you are eligible to take the pills, you can take them at home and lower your risk of going to the hospital.
I’ve had several friends that have had great success with this medication, but they really had to push their doctors to prescribe it. And it really should be taken within two days of showing symptoms. But they both had good results. So this is something you might want to talk about with your healthcare provider.

I'm not sure it's been approved here yet (Australia can be a little slow sometimes with approving new drugs; I appreciate the caution, but yeah...some people need it now). In either case, COVID has been a lot better than the cold that struck me two weeks ago, which did my head in for most of the week I had it, so I may be okay without it.

My daughter called this morning. Their kitty has been sick. We talked to her about it yesterday. They live in northern New York, near the Adirondacks. There are only a few vets and all were too booked up to see them. In every call they made they were told it would be over 20 days to get an appointment.
Yesterday they drove an hour and a half to a larger town and were able to see a veterinarian. They were told kitty was fine and was just stressed. Maybe she'd had a scare in the woods and had to climb a tree to get away from something. Gave her IV of saline as she was dehydrated and sent them home.
This morning kitty was having trouble breathing and liquid running out of her nose. They are going to have to put her down. The cat is only 10 years old. She travels with them when they come to visit and has been such a sweetheart when I hold her. We feel like grandparents to her...part of the family.
Daughter says no more pets, as there's no medical help for them if they get sick. They still have their dog. After the first time she came to visit(the dog), she recognized where they were going several blocks away on the second visit. Started barking and we can hear her coming soon as they turn the corner 3/4s of a block away. Pets...they leave paw prints on our hearts that stay there.

Just generally feeling shitty. I'm not getting enough exercise and have been sitting around too much. Walking on my foot hurts after a while. I push it to its limit before it starts throbbing and then I need to sit and elevate it. It felt great in the pool over the weekend, because it iis in that suspended weightless feeling. But then I get out and walk on it and it throbs. As for exercise, I make it to the basement and lift weights, upper body. But that is over with in 30 minutes. I need this thing to heal. #day10 and the last few days I've noticed very little improvement. :'(

Just generally feeling shitty. I'm not getting enough exercise and have been sitting around too much. Walking on my foot hurts after a while. I push it to its limit before it starts throbbing and then I need to sit and elevate it. It felt great in the pool over the weekend, because it iis in that suspended weightless feeling. But then I get out and walk on it and it throbs. As for exercise, I make it to the basement and lift weights, upper body. But that is over with in 30 minutes. I need this thing to heal. #day10 and the last few days I've noticed very little improvement. :'(
As someone who's injured himself with alarming frequency, go to a physio rather than a doctor, and do the recovery excercises.

Quick update on my friend's situation from a couple weeks back. I spoke to one of my old friends last week to get the details. It was crazier than I knew.
Before our friend Ann (fake names, obviously) died, she told Mary, one of her closest friends for 30 years going back to elementary school, that she didn't want a fancy funeral, just have a small party for her where everyone could laugh and have fun. She didn't care about being buried or cremated, but leaned toward cremation because it's cheaper. Ann told Mary this less than a week before she died.
When our friend Ann died, her family contacted their extended family about it but none of her friends. The friends only found out from her fiance. Keep in mind that Ann's mom was supposed to be like a mother to Mary and Ann's other friends, at least that's how Mary described it. Ann's family came from far and wide, some even coming from down in Louisiana to come up and pay their respects. We're in the Rust Belt. They had a small church ceremony (Ann was Agnostic leaning toward Atheist) and only invited a couple of 'Ann's closest friends' to come over to her house for the wake. We only know of one 'friend' that was invited and she is a total bible-thumping kiss ass.
If that wasn't bad enough, the family turned Ann's wake into a barbecue and pool party. Yes, a pool party. For the wake of their daughter/sister/fiancé/mother/cousin/etc.
Now, knowing how Ann's wishes were for a small get together for family and friends, I could almost make sense of hanging out and a little frivolity. But with the way the family flipped their shit on Mary and Ann's other friends for wanting to remember her, I can't give them the benefit of the doubt. Not in the slightest.
You don't get to sit there and bitch about how people want to remember your sister 2 months later when you had a fucking pool party in her memory 3 days after she died.
The family also went on a blocking spree, cutting out anyone who spoke up against them. Mary sent around the text messages she had with Ann's family where they gave her permission to do this, and made it very clear that the family didn't have to pay a single cent. Instead, we're "heartless monsters" for not respecting how much pain they're in. Must've been one hell of a fucking sunburn from that pool party.
So, after talking with Mary and getting all of that, we all came up with the same idea. Have a party, don't invite any family members or anyone who was at the pool party. If they get invited, they'll snitch. Beside's Ann's name is nowhere near the invite. Everything is being done offline. I'm probably going to go and stop by for a bit. The only reason for the conditional statement is life happens.
Moral of the story: If your loved one dies, don't be a dick if people you don't invite to the 'official' mourning want to grieve in their own way. Be flattered that so many care enough to remember them, not a petty fuckface because "your in pain."

I have a friend who owns a vacation home in San Miguel de Alende, and for the longest time, she was driving from Laredo to her house over some pretty “not safe after sunset“ roads. Finally had a serious scare. She only goes by bus now. Which is a huge relief for everyone that knows and loves her.

That sucks. I haven't been on mine since before my youngest was born. Had one too many close calls on it before getting to the point where the fun wasn't worth the risk anymore.
May I suggest the next step in the gearhead evolution, the project car? Or even the project bike? It's like owning a bike, except it runs on hopes and dreams and doesn't go anywhere for long stretches at a time. Nothing says "I still like bikes" like a stripped down frame on jack stands sitting in your garage.

Outside of the towns/cities, there is no such thing as a safe after sunset road. Between the narrowness, the animals and the shitty drivers, I do not drive after dark. OK. Only short distances like 10 miles (El Centenario to La Paz).

In that scenario, I need a garage first. We haven't yet secured accommodation for the upcoming winter. The second, and most important thing that shoots this idea down is I'm not mechanically inclined. And, the CFO and She Who Must Be Obeyed would likely not approve the financial expenditure for that.

I used to have a law office in Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas. So I have spent a lot of time in Mexico. Tamaulipas has a very serious drug cartel problem. A lot of the politicians I was friendly with have since been murdered or forced out of office. Any gringo that wants to travel the open roads alone in Mexico is just asking for trouble. Stay safe my friend.

FWIW, with regards to criminal activity, Baja California and Baja California Sur and quite safe. We go to La Paz which is consistently rated in the top 5 (usually 1 or 2) for safest cities in Mexico. Most "cartel" activity is closer to the border with the US. That's not to say that drug and other illegal activity isn't present because it is. But, the Baja Peninsula is not a producing area nor is it part of the highway to get the product to market.

Dan was rude to me twice today. Once he told me to be quiet when I was complaining that he was tailgating. Okay, my fault, but don't sat 'be quiet'. Another time he was on the phone talking to the service department about our RV that. Is being worked on, I was trying to get his attention to remind them to check the hydraulic fluids. He looked at me and said, "hush".
That was what ruined my day ^
What made my day v
I ran the dishwasher at 4:00. As it was running, I poured some water under it and on to the ground in front of it. I told him the dishwasher was leaking. He pulled it out and looked it over and said everything looked fine. I ran it again at 7:00. I also poured more water on the floor. When he came in from the garage half hour ago, he stepped in the water. So, right now he has the dishwasher pulled out and is replacing a hose. While I'm enjoying a glass of bourbon on the patio.
My friend Barb told me that she read where someone had done this. Not my original idea, but am happy to use it.

Haaargh!
So, my father, my sister and her family are here to celebrate Dad's 70th. We are supposed to be visiting the zoo in the morning, then have a birthday dinner that night. So, we decided to get Munchkin tested, make sure they were negative, which we were confident he was.
No prizes for guessing what actually happened.
So, zoo is out, and I'll be the only person out of the three of us (i.e. me, wife, kid) attending dinner with dad and sister's fam. Plus Munchkin's out of school for another week, and I'll have to go back to online sessions while the kid's under quarantine.
And we had been doing so well too...

Short of someone grabbing the phone out of my hands and stealing it, I haven’t lost a phone since I got my first brick cellphone in 1987. I did have one vibrate off the bathroom counter and land in the toilet, while I was showering.

I woke up this morning and reached for my phone. It said I had over 20+ text messages. That is never a good thing. So I open SMS and there is a lengthy diatribe from my baby brother, calling me every name in the book, and stating he is ghosting and blocking me and will never speak to me again. He has some anger management issues. And a drinking problem. And a bad habit of texting while drunk. But still it is very painful to hear “you are an asshole” from a man you carried on your back in your youth. Ugh.

Sat down in front of the TV to catch some news. Next thing I knew I was waking up two hours later. Just went out like a light. Now I'm two hours behind in.....in....um nothing. I'm retired damn it.

I certainly do remember Zip disks. I had a boxful of them and loved the satisfying 'clunk' when you inserted them into the drive, or ejected them.
After posting my message about missing files, I thought of digging out the original 45 rpm singles and transcribing the lyrics, but it proved unnecessary. Most of them are on YouTube. What's more, the lyrics are already online, in one or other of the big archives.

I need to do some less aggressive venting.
Today I was sitting at my desk (still am) at lunch, Mimi was running an errand for me, on the fifth floor, getting some stuff I needed for the meeting tomorrow. My cell phone rings, while I was grooving to Oasis - Champagne Supernova, and on the phone was an old friend from high school.
She called to talk to me, dig up some memories and shoot the shit basically.
The talk is good, she asks about my wife, and kids, and the talk was pleasant.
So the thorn in my side gets addressed. "Why did you stop hanging out with us at graduation and after?"
I kind of spaced out on her, as any answer other than the cold hard truth would probably hurt, and I do not give out bullshitty excuses.
"Because, I got married and had a kid on the way, there was no room in my life for parties, getting drunk or just stagnating in my youth, whining about how unfair life is, while not doing a damned thing to change it."
She went silent for a couple of minutes.
That group she fondly remembers, the friends I had since I came out of the crib with them, all save one, decided to just veg out, and dare rub it in my face. The one friend who decided to do something with his life, is my best friend, who served in active duty, and now moved to the reserves. Married, a kid, and a nice house.
She scoffed, as if she had the moral high ground to judge me and my life choices.
"Well that boring bullshit is fine for you. But I went places, and we did things, probably more than you have seen or done."
"Thats all well and good for you, bouncing from bed to bed, getting your belly full, and your ass pounded. But my plans had always been to grow the fuck up, and make a life."
"Fuck you Writer, you were always a boring prick." -Click-
I chuckled a little.
The thing that ruined my good mood and day was that nagging fucking question that always seems to haunt my mind.
"Are you really happy with things? Or would you change it all if you could?"
Then a strong dose of Melancholy and Ennui hit me, and I had to take a walk.
I broke my promises today.
I sat in my truck, fished out a shot bottle of fireball, and lit a cigarette.
I drank it down. I smoked that fucker to the filter.
I promised and have been working on quitting smoking.
I promised I would not drink in the suns face. I never drink anything harder than a beer during the day, and if I have a beer, the sun is past midday.
I felt like shit. I truly hate myself as I twirl that tiny golden manacle around my finger. Its a simple band, gold. "Me and You, forever." on the inside.
It was heavier than anything in this world.
Worst off, I could not cry out these feelings.
Not even a single tear.
I love my wife, life, and kids, even more than myself. But right now, I feel like walking. right into that metaphorical sunset.
I cant even say why I feel this way.
So would I change things if I could. Probably not. Am I truly happy? Deep down I am.
Then what is nagging me so fucking hard, I should have married it instead?
I have a nice job, a house, a family, practically the American fucking dream on a silver plated platter.
But why do I feel so empty?
Talked to some of my coworkers about it when I returned and I get:
"Look at little Writer, he's got his midlife crisis, its so cute!"
I said fuck that.
I was so disgusted.
I am forty, not fifty, I can vividly remember not even being able to even get facial hair until I was sixteen, and then it was facial pubes my dad told me to keep trimmed.
I don't feel like its that simple, though. I don't particularly need a motorcycle or some hot rod from some misspent youth.
But what I need, I cannot even put a finger on.
Thank you for letting me rant.

Well, I’m glad I wasn’t you today.
A spiritual sage once told me, “you’re never going to have it all, you are it all already.”
There is no such thing as the perfect life. And there will always be things that we wished had been done differently. But it’s always been my practice to look forward. Never to look back. Because you can’t change the past. You’re not guaranteed the future. You only have one moment to live in. That’s why it’s called “the present.“
It sounds like you have a good job, a secure home, people who love you, your daughter-in-fact, Mimi. Come spend some time with my families who live in the Ukraine, living hand to mouth, and watching cruise missiles fly overhead. When having enough food to eat, and enough clean water to take a bath this month, is Nirvana.
Life is more than how many notches we carve in the bed post, how many good bottles of wine we’ve consumed, and how many borders we’ve crossed. I believe the only currency that matters in life is love. Because we’re all going to be dead and forgotten in 100 years. And 100 years is not very long. Our only legacy will be the people we love, and the love we receive. Some of the richest people I know are paupers. Because you can’t take it with you.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
“Me and you, forever” is a good thing. Sending you a hug.

A spiritual sage once told me, “you’re never going to have it all, you are it all already.”
There is no such thing as the perfect life. And there will always be things that we wished had been done differently. But it’s always been my practice to look forward. Never to look back. Because you can’t change the past. You’re not guaranteed the future. You only have one moment to live in. That’s why it’s called “the present.“
It sounds like you have a good job, a secure home, people who love you, your daughter-in-fact, Mimi. Come spend some time with my families who live in the Ukraine, living hand to mouth, and watching cruise missiles fly overhead. When having enough food to eat, and enough clean water to take a bath this month, is Nirvana.

I appreciate the hug. I do not mean to sound whiny, it just irked me in a way that left me feeling weird inside. I usually ignore that question, and her calling me would not let it rest. I am truly grateful for what I have, all the love I receive and blessed to give. and most of all I am thankful to you, PH, for you are truly a wise man. Also thankful for KB, as you all put up with me.

The thing that ruined my good mood and day was that nagging fucking question that always seems to haunt my mind.
"Are you really happy with things? Or would you change it all if you could?"
"If you could" is the key. In my experience life rarely offers opportunities for completely free choices. There are always entanglements pulling us one way or another.
I sometimes look back and wonder "what if. . . .?" but in each case the path that I didn't take doesn't necessarily lead to a happy outcome. I have no idea how things would have worked out if I'd made different decisions, so not much point in worrying about them.

They probably existed as WordStar files on a 5¼-inch floppy disk, and I never bothered to convert or transfer them. Silly me. :(
I have boxes of those in storage. I lack the hardware or software to read them. Same thing for the 3.5 inch and Zip disks (remember them?)… all that information lost to technological evolution. I’m sure we will say the same thing about flash drives someday.
Wife picked up some mail from her niece's place (that's our official mailing address) and found a letter from Canada Revenue Agency saying they needed some stupid form filled out relating to our 2019 and 2020 taxes. At that time, I was using TurboTax for Windows (no Mac version) by running VirtualBox and Windows in a virtual machine. Worked great. Until I actually need to get the info and BAM - Virtualbox does not run on M1 powered computers. Can you say FUCK!!!!!
Oh yeah, Oracle has no intention of developing an Apple Silicon port of VirtualBox.
Oh well. Off to H&R Block to see if they can help (and to file this year's taxes).
VirtualBox won't work but if you need to run just one or two programs, look for Crossfire. If you need to set up a full VM, Parallels is also available.
Do you have access to the files on VirtualBox or is it just one big VM file? Like, can you navigate through the VM in Finder to get the specific files you need?

Just remember “the butterfly effect.1” What if we had taken a different path? A path that only led us to be run over by a bus in the crosswalk?
Perhaps choosing that crappy job we regret, or the relationship from hell, actually saved our life. We will never know. Best not to question.

...and yet I swear I've seen you refer to yourself as 'old' more than once. :o
That's not 'old' by any standards. Hell, I think the age range of the regulars here on KB is something like 30s to 70s ;)
As for thinking 'what if,' I think that's a completely normal part of human nature, especially as you get older.. uh, less young :emot_laughing:
However, keep in mind that it's also too easy to make those alternate timelines look nice and attractive, and to forget about all the things that could've gone worse, had you made different choices. For example, I was reading the other day about a truck that fell off an overpass in the rain and hit a SUV on the road below, killing one of the kids in the SUV. Now think of all the million things that could've gone differently that day and that all would've meant the kid would still be alive today.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: LtBroccoli on August 19, 2022, 05:14:31 AM
WB, I know the dilemma. Ennui, regret, the existential crisis of not following the other path, that inkling of the 'mid-life crisis.' I know because I feel like that sometimes too. Back in the day I used to party a lot, and hung out with a group that always partied a little too hard. I've talked about them a little here, and how many of them have passed on already. But it's the ones that are still around that make us sit back and look at ourselves.
We change over time. If we didn't, we'd be pretty damn boring. But as we change, so do those around us, our friends and family and people we love. They change as well. Sometimes that change means growing apart, which is okay. For example, I haven't seen my best man face to face in over 10 years and it's been at least 5 since we last spoke more than a few sentences on some FaceBook post. I absolutely loved this dude, but he took a different path than I did. I moved to the city, got married, had kids. He stayed out in the sticks, dropped out of school for the third or fourth time, got caught up in some local drama and jumped on the MAGA wagon. Last I heard he was living with a woman and her kids and ran a donut shop of some kind, but it's been so long since we talked and had a real conversation, I don't know if it would be possible to go back. I hate that we've grown apart, but I also know that I couldn't follow his path and he wouldn't and couldn't follow mine.
As far as regrets go, that's healthy. I love my family more than anything else, but I don't know if a day passes where I at least have a fleeting thought of what could've been. According to the Copenhagen Model of alternate realities, each and every possible action happens in another universe in the multiverse. And with how mind-boggingly big infinity really is, there's an infinite number of universes where I didn't ask my wife on our first date and instead asked out the other girl I was talking to at the time. Same with every other choice I've made, from kissing a different girl to saying "why not?" when that guy at the NYE party wanted to take me to his place. There's an alternate reality where right now I'm Batman and I'm balls deep in Allison Brie. Of course, the odds are likely that in that universe I'm high as a kite and she's Aly, the toothless overweight chick down at the 7-11.
Same as there's a whole slew of infinite worlds where you stuck around with the old crew. But knowing what you know, would current you want to hang out with old you and your old friends? I mean, old you prioritized having a kid and raising a family over partying every night. What do you think the you that followed that path is doing right now? That you probably has his regrets, too.

I refer to myself as old, as I am not what I was when I was in my teens and twenties. I feel old. Not worn out, not useless, but old. Maybe wizened. also I racked up a fair share of bodily pains that I just cant shrug off anymore.
also this from Dream On by Aerosmith:
Every time that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face getting clearer The past is gone Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way?
Yeah, so I am old in respects to not being able to be carefree ans youthfully foolish anymore. besides I got alot of fucking grey in my hair and beard. so instead of moping about it, I treat it as being distinguished by age.
Thank you all for the kind words, I feel a bit better now, it was a strange feeling i could not get over.

After browsing the memorable lyric topic, I decided to revisit some of my own — and couldn't find any. I thought they were in a folder in my document archive. I was woefully wrong. They probably existed as WordStar files on a 5¼-inch floppy disk, and I never bothered to convert or transfer them. Silly me. :(
The Shanels at the Whisky a Go Go in 1981.
One of the tracks not in my lyric archive. I had to transcribe it from scratch. The group wanted to call themselves "The Chanels" but had to swap the C for an S, for a host of copyright/trademark reasons. Everything they did was homage to the great doo-wap groups of the Fifties, but they'd never get away with blackface these days.
The song was a monster hit in Japan. The English version was written as a bonus for live performances.

Thought I had a cold but popped positive for the Rona. I've got lung issues from double pneumonia and was on a ventilator years ago, so my doctor is keeping a very close eye on me. I've also been triple jabbed due to that and other health reasons, so not much to really worry about. It's definitely not any fun though.

Read an article in Sunday's paper today telling of the numerous deaths of eagles caused by wind turbines in the far west. Since these turbines are on federal land, federal authorities refuse to release the exact number of eagle deaths. Wind turbines are known to kill many different kinds of birds., but since the eagle is our national bird, one would think they would take more care.

Foot still not healed 100%. I can walk normally, but at a smaller pace. It tires after a time, or throbs. Big Toe still feels sprained. The big Toe does so much for balance and walking. Light swelling still there. Doctor said all looks okay, it just takes time for a foot to heal.

Ouch baby. I’m sure you have the pharmacology all arranged, but you need to be taking an anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxant. It will go along way to help the swelling and minimize the formation of scar tissue. Toe hopes your toe feels better.

I tried to shake it, by trying to watch something funny, but got nowhere. Called my dad, but he was busy so couldn't talk said hed call today. I started writing in my book, but that led me to some quite dark places. I've been feeling deeply deeply depressed since.
Dad called earlier, but I put on my best fake happiness and talked to him for about a half hour before I said I needed to go. I've taken several of my "calm me down" pills, but that's just making me feel numb.

They do the surgery laparoscopic now...5 small incisions. She's expected to be out in just a few days.
So here I sit 200 miles north.on I35... other sister near I35 to the south and neither able to be there. Waiting......

Will try calling her tomorrow. Meanwhile I got some good news. My MRI Friday looked good. No sign of a tumor in my brain. Then the PET scan I had this morning looked good there's been a lot of lessening of lesions on my bones. Shows I'm getting results from my treatment. My Oncology Nurse called late this afternoon and she sounded quite excited.
I'll learn more Wednesday when I see her. I'm cautiously.encouraged. I don't think I'm cured, but maybe I've picked up a bit more time. :D

I had my gall bladder removed 9-10 years ago. Laproscopic. 4 incisions. Day surgery. Showed up at 6 AM, into the surgical suite at 10 AM. No idea when I came out. Doctor came by about an hour or so after I had awaken and told me my gall bladder was the size of a baseball. Went home at about 6 PM with a drain sticking out of one of the incisions, 10 Percocet and prescriptions for Tylenol 3 (Tylenol with codeine) a laxative and something else. Took 1 Percocet before going back to the hospital the next day to get the drain removed.
Walked into the day surgery ward and went to the counter. The nurse on duty came up and said "Hi." I responded with "just a little bit."
Very glad to hear your treatments are going well. Your sister will be back to 100% physically ready to do stuff in about 6 weeks (I was told no heavy lifting for 6 weeks.) Was off work for 10 days.

Thanks all. Had a few texts with sister this morning. Liquid diet so she's bitching at nurses. She fights all her medical personnel then wonders why her treatment is bad.
No doubt the fact she has COVID is keeping her in hospital longer.
I'm having a MRI redone. Doctor that read Friday's wasn't happy so taking more pictures.
Anxious to get full report on all the imaging tomorrow and what it all means. Can't see the reports on line as the VA had a third party do it.
Need to get this moved to what made my day.

I’m in the middle of Nowhere, Virginia. Surprised I have internet tonight. I have 19 messages that I will respond to when I get back to civilization. I have 5 pages of unread messages.
Visited Shenandoah National Park, new River National Park, Manassas, Virginia where the first shots were fired during the Civil War, along with other Civil War sites. So much history where I’m at. Love being here and learning. So many things I’m just now learning.
Back home appx Sept 10. Might have better internet when we visit Cuyahoga National Park.
What ruined my day. … No sex in 8 days, and likely the next 8 days. No more kids joining us on vacation.

Civil war site tours, MJ, and you did not drive down with the family to NAS Pensacola, to see the 3 forts, which only one still stands, Barrancas? A good time, for sure, even take the time to visit The Naval Aviation Museum too, if you ever make it down here. I drive into Pensacola often, pretty nice place to walk around.

I hope y’all don’t mind me posting this, but I just need to emote openly.
I have told you all about my estranged wife, and all of our problems. So I am basically “staying married to her” solely for the purpose of getting her Medicare to allow her ongoing dialysis treatment.
She is going through a difficult time, and I understand that. But I really can’t provide the emotional support that she needs, because of the tattered nature of our relationship.
In the last year, I have learned that she basically catfished me seven years ago. And she lied about virtually everything concerning who she was/is. Where she lived, what she did for a living, what her educational background was, her romantic/sexual history, her bi-sexualism, none of it was true. She told me so many lies, I don’t think she even knows the difference between the truth and a lie. I honestly don’t know who I married. And I’m really more pissed at myself that I am at her, because I consider myself a smart guy, and if she had lived in America at the time, I would have hired an investigator to do a full dossier on her. But I didn’t, and it was my absolute huge fucking mistake.
So now she is having these emotional breakdowns, and started texting me at 6:30 AM on Labor Day and continued to send messages throughout the day, calling me every horrible thing imaginable, accusing me of all kinds of things which are not true, expressing suicidal thoughts, and just absolutely keeping me in a state of aggravation and unhappiness. I finally told her I couldn’t take it anymore, “I’m gonna block you, and if you need something on an emergency basis just send me an email.”
So this woman, who is truly a stranger to me now, has been living in my house on my dime for seven years. She’s been nothing but trouble all that time. And now she’s has end stage renal disease, and likely liver failure. I don’t know if she’s going to live another month or another 10 years. But at some point I’m going to have a Russian corpse on my hands And no one to even send her ashes to. She only has one relative that I know of, a cousin in Moscow.
So the moral of the story is, if you go to a club bathroom in the middle of the night, and the lights are not working, check the toilet seat for carrots before you sit down.
End of rant.

If you don't mind me asking, how did she ever get to the States in the first place? Were you her green card sponsor when you married her?
Yes, she could not get her tourist visa renewed, so she came over on a K-1 fiancé visa. We had known each other for over a year at that point. And I had absolutely no idea I was dealing with a sociopath.

The death of Elizabeth II (technically Elizabeth I to the Scots). Although she was 96 we fully expected her to make it to 100 and become the longest reigning monarch in history (overtaking Louis XIV of France), especially as her mother was so long lived. Such a profound sense of the end of an era.

I spent the last three days working on a new case involving a multi billion dollar music school. And my client was groomed and raped repeatedly over an 11 month period of time by an instructor. Not once or twice… 100’s of times. She estimates he sodomized her 80 or 90 times. Stockholm Syndrome. I am absolutely sick about the case. On the other hand, it is going to be a multi-million dollar verdict. And this could be the case that lets me retire. So many conflicting emotions. Just absolutely horrible. Very emotionally draining.

I’m an old man, and I haven’t had anal that many times in my entire life. And she had that much anal in 11 months. It’s just hideous. This place did not have adult supervision. It did not have video cameras. It totally ignored all the signs of inappropriate relationships and sexual misconduct. And they paired this predator with my client, who was very innocent and inexperienced and totally groomed to be this man’s sex toy. It’s horrible. I just hope I can fucking find enough insurance coverage to get her what she deserves.

I've been having quite a bit of leg problems last few months. At first my oncologist nurse thought it was the bone cancer in my hips pressing on the nerves.
Then after a series of MRIs it was discovered I have a herniated disc. Monday I had a consultation with the pain clinic. They were going to try doing an epidural...a steroid injection in the spine. Also physical therapy.
Today received a call back. The Doctor had checked with the Cardiology Department. Due to the fact I've been on a blood thinner since I had stents put in last March, they're not willing to do the procedure. They feel I can't be off the blood thinner for five days as required for the procedure.
All I have to do is wait a year when I can be off the blood thinner. Catch 22, oncologists only gave me another year last June. So looks like I have to accept the leg problems.

Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: msslave on September 16, 2022, 06:06:17 PM
I can't complain about the treatment I've received. The VA has spent many thousands of dollars on me, knowing the end will be the same. It's all been in an effort to get me a few more months.
Last January I was given six months to a year. In June after Chemo that moved to one year maybe a bit more. There was still a "rogue cancer" in the prostrate. That's being treated with a strong pill. Latest PET scans showed that was having results. Next week I'll be getting an up date. Maybe I'll pick up another few months.
It's the thought of dealing with the unrelated to cancer problem. While the initial phone call this morning about not getting the epidural was discouraging, they've offered other alternatives. I'll be getting an oral steroid instead of the injection. Also I have a consult for physical therapy. Plus there's always the drugs. I'm getting a steady supply of Oxycodone and Gabapentin.
So ignore my initial venting. And thank you U.S. tax payers for helping pay for my VA care, and all the others who have served.

Bob, I echo what Shiela and staci wrote. You have a great support system here at KB. Doctors are just guessing because every person is different to how a certain problem affects them.
I can remember when the Neurologist at the VA told me, when he couldn't tell me what is causing my leg problems, that they could prescribe drugs that may or may not help, even though they didn't know what is causing the pain and other issues. When I declined the drugs, it was entered in my file that I declined all drugs. Not so. I would take them if they knew what is causing the issue and the drugs they wanted to prescribe have been proven to work.

I'm just getting a little dizzy with all the different departments I'm involved with. Seem my old body decided I've pushed it to it's limits.
Found out about the cancer end of last year. Did my first round of chemo and was ready to start round two in March. Bang! Heart attack. It was mild and a couple stents fixed me up.
Another round of chemo after recovery from heart attack. Before I could do third cycle got hit with bowel obstruction, an occasional problem for abdominal surgery years ago. Was told it could be a problem.
Another recovery, another round of chemo. Surprise...no problems between third and fourth chemo cycles. That wrapped up my chemo.
Now my left leg starts giving me problems. At first it was thought to be from the bone cancer in n my hip. A similar problem on the right side was treated with radiation successfully. Radiation treatment for the left leg didn't work.
Just a few weeks ago the VA paid thousands of dollars to have an outside private imaging company do a series of MRIs due to my legs getting worse. Those MRIs showed the herniated disc.
That led to a neurosurgery referral... again an outside hospital as the VA couldn't see me within 30 days. In the meantime I was seen by the VA pain clinic. The doctor recommended physical therapy and epidurals, steroid injection into the spine.
That was Monday. Today I received a call from the pain clinic. The doctor who recommended the epidurals had checked with the Cardiac people. I'm on a blood thinner due to the stents. I'd need to stop taking those five days before having an epidural because of risk of bleeding.
Bottom line I'd need to wait a year before I could pause taking the blood thinner. I'm currently looking at about a year left before the cancer gets me. What.a catch 22!!!
It's not so bad. There's other options for me and I trust in the VA to do what they can for me. I'm already been offered one of those little electric carts with a rack for the car.
It was a shock at first when I got the news. After calming down and considering all the other options I'm now feeling a lot better since my first post.
So have a good day everyone...I intend to. :D :emot_kiss:

Yes...Oxy and gabapentin. I'm taking 8 - 5 mmg oxycodone a day, two every six hours. The Gabapentin is designed for nerve pain. I take one in the morning one at noon and three at bedtime.
Sleeping is when I have the most problems...pain can wake me after only a couple hours. With the pills I can usually get 6 hours.

I used to be very active in several bar associations, and served as an officer and director on two or three of them. I know everybody. But the truth of the matter is, these younger lawyers, Generation X and Z, annoy the fuck out of me. So standing around with a cocktail glass in my hand, while they spout off about how great they are, is not my idea of a good time. I wonder if the older lawyers felt that way about me, when I was that age. I just don’t understand why everything seems to dissolve into a pissing contest with young people (imposter syndrome and insecurity most likely). I thought I had the sense to shut the fuck up and listen to my elders. I had a lot of great mentors coming up through the ranks. But these kids don’t want to be mentored. They want to tell you why you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Even if you’ve done it for 40 years, and they’ve done it for two. LOL.

My “it’s complicated” estranged wife, apparently is feeling better, because she is using all of her nefarious resources to destroy my friendship/relationship with Sasha. They have a mutual friend, Svetlana, and the ex has been calling and texting her on a daily basis, spreading the most heinous lies about me, including horrible things that I allegedly said about Sasha, none of which are true. But unfortunately, Sasha is either buying it, or is upset by it, and we’ve had two of the rockiest weeks in our five years together. And I just think that this is destroying any warm feelings that we have for each other. Which just continues on the timeline of my psychopathic, soon to be ex, destroying everything and everyone that she touches. She is the single most horrible person that I have ever allowed in my life. And it pisses the fuck out of me that she continues to be a daily source of frustration and aggravation. We’re coming up on the first anniversary of our separation. And yet she continues to worm her way into my life. And not in a good way.

But unfortunately, Sasha is either buying it, or is upset by it,
I would say upset by it, more than buying it, but I'm quiet sure she's questioning things about you. Just keep talking. Hope this doesn't continue for you love💋
I've been living in a bathroom for the past three days. Been sick with some stomach bug or something. Took a covid test, and a pregnancy test, both were negative. Felt like the flu, food poisoning, and my worst period all wrapped in a spiky ball in my abdomen. Was o ly able to eat small amounts of food. Turkey sandwich, orange/apple juice, and water were the only thing I successfully kept down. Still feeling drained, and sore, but doing so much better. Was nice to eat my yogurt and not see it again.

Feeling better, but still feeling weak and tired from not being able to hold down food for so many days, and it has caused me some issues with my legs. So obviously I had to take a tumble this morning and hurt my wrist trying to break my fall. I figured I've been doing better. I dont need to bring my cane...

Sorry to read about your fall sweetie. Hope nothing was hurt too bad.
I've developed a close relationship with my cane that I just started using a few weeks ago. Even then I've managed to have a couple spills but all injury free.
Last week when I went to my first physical therapy session, it was decided I needed a walker. So, I was given a nice four wheeler with a seat so I can rest my butt walking those long hallways at the VA. It's still in the trunk of my car. :facepalm:
It seems so big and our house is so small hard to think of it at practical. Guess your experience tells me I'd better get it in here now. Thanks for the teaching moment, but still hate to think of you getting hurt. :emot_kiss:

Pride goeth before the fall. What Mrs Watcher lectures me when I refuse to use a cane or crutches. Thankfully, I haven't had a serious spill yet but I am sure I will and then see her smiling face as I grab a cane when we go for a walk.
Hope your wrist wasn't hurt too bad. :emot_kiss:

I will say that when you two are not here, things come grinding to a halt. So I hope you’re both feeling well, with high speed Wi-Fi, and back soon.
Shiela, I used to laugh at those commercials with the old lady who says “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up,“ but as we all age, things like that now scare the you know what out of me.
I had a dear friend who was 6’7” tall. He fell in the shower, and had a compound fracture of his femur. He was never the same after that. That was really the beginning of the end for him. He was only 51(!) when he passed. So I make it a point to hold on to handrails. I have a couple of stylish canes that I never use, except when I am going to something like a concert or a football game, and I know I’m going be on my feet all day climbing stairs. Just good to be able to steady yourself in a crowd.

No bruising or swelling, but painful when moved. Thinking I just jammed it really bad. Should he fine by the end of the day or tomorrow morning.
I too have one of those little wheeled walkers. I never use it and it sits at my dad's. Even when folded up it takes up a lot of space, and I can't get it into my trunk unless I undo the handles. So it'll sit in my backseat. An embarrassing eyesore. A mobile seat would be convenient at games and concerts but my cane works well, plus I cant swing the walker at assholes as well as my cane. The only times I ever really use it is if I'm at a family get together.

Get well soon, Miss S. Maybe I'll swing by and tend to your wounds next this week.
My foot still isn't right. We walked the dunes earlier in the week and the sand sept into my Keen sandals. It felt wonderful. The sand acted as support as it smashed in all crevices. Next morning I felt the best it has been since it happened in early August. So, we did a 12 mile hike in the woods. F me if the next morning I felt like I had just sprained it. Still feels like big toe sprained. Have to take it slow and easy. But you know I like it fast and hard*. I've never had an injury go this long. 8 weeks I think. This getting old sh*t is not for me I guess.
Internet signal still sh*t, but I've got enough that I'm not wanting to throw the iPad across the RV.

When I leave my apartment, there are two concrete steps with no handrails, and that is where I fell, in fact it seems that's where I always fall. Either going down or truping going up.
I've never had an injury go this long. 8 weeks I think. This getting old sh*t is not for me I guess.
Holy crap that is a long time, but as sprains go shouldnt really be surprised. Especially on feet and ankles that are used all the time. Unless you're constantly wrapping it up to keep it more stable it's going to take longer, and then as you said, age does have a say in healing as well.
Cane, crutches, walkers, and every do limping and wobbling... what a sight we all would make.

It's been cold the last couple of days, so the cuddling has been at a factor of 10. The sex has been non-existent. A certain young lady is my main obstruction.

Sample some Big Ben while you're there ;D
Want me to throw a little Jake on your plate too? Come on to Wisconsin the all you can f@#$ buffet.
Actually I dont get to see Ben much anymore. Hes got himself this new little girlfriend and it doesnt take much to realize that she doesnt like me much. Well that's fine, because I do not like that bitch at all. He can do so much better than her. She's got this toxic uppity attitude and looks down her nose at everyone... ok it may just be me, but still, she is not good enough for him. At his request he asked I refrain from mentioning our lustful past. Doesnt want me lying m if she asks but dont say anything if I can avoid it.
I'm telling you thatevery time she gives me that sideways stink eye, its taking all of me to not let her know she's getting my sloppy seconds, and that he used to fuck me, so hard, for so long, and it was so good henmade me orgasm so many times on that massive dick, that his bed is probably still wet from me.

Just heard a little while ago they had started surgery, about 5-7 hours.
To top it off, he has COPD. He quit going out of the house a long time ago and won't do any exercises to help. Don't know how he's going to handle rehab for this .

What's too much to for him his his mental attitude. He's lost interest in most any thing. Sleeps late. Stays in the basement. Gets confused with his medication. They got him a machine that has a timer to deliver his pills at the proper time. He kept opening that and messing up the pills. So wife took the key and hid it. Some how he still managed to break into it :facepalm: When we visit, he seems normal. I get all the horror stories.from the wife. Just have to see what I can do to help.

My best friend isn't doing well at all after breaking his hip Saturday. He had a four hour surgery on Sunday to repair the hip but sounds like he broke his mind too.
He doesn't know what's going on. Keeps talking about going home and trying to get out of bed. Doesn't realize he's broken his hip. Worse, he's pulled out his catheter three times. Now they've left the little balloon like thing inflated.
Yesterday his hemoglobin levels tanked, even though he's been giving blood.
He has a nurse at his bedside around the clock. What I hated hearing was he's being very abusive towards them. All the good care I've gotten, I know how nice the nurs s are. And he's not that kind of person. He's always been nice to people and helping out when he can . This is a complete 180 for him.

Two very ungrateful clients. I settled two different cases for good money, I agreed to reduce my fees, negotiated huge reductions from their medical care providers, and they both balked at signing paperwork to finalize matters. Long telephone conferences with people calling me every name in the book. They epitomize Toe’s Law:
Client satisfaction is inversely proportional to results obtained.
Meaning, the better job you do for someone, the more likely they are to call you a son of a bitch and file a complaint with the state bar.
Unfortunately for these clients, we’ve already signed a mediation agreement, and so they are obligated contractually to comply with the settlements. But it’s really sad to spend a good part of your year working on projects, only to have clients who don’t have the common sense to recognize or be grateful for your skills and efforts.
I have a theory it’s a moon phase. And the bat shit crazy ones all come out. Halloween effect.

Yet, I have an email from the school district stating there is no limit on remote days, dated August 15th. Dan mentioned this and they said, "Oh, that was revised on October 4th." "We haven't received communication stating such," Dan replied. "It will be announced in the October 15th parent newsletter." It was on speaker and when I heard this, in anger I yelled, "Are you fucking kidding me." It came out surprisingly clear. It usually does when I scream. So, we are headed straight home tomorrow. 4 hour drive. We were planning on coming home on Friday. So, she will be in class on Tuesday morning. She has done well on every test and turned in every assignment. Her online attendance is 98%. The times she missed was due to bad internet connections.

They tried that shit here with my youngest, who does love going to school, but would rather be in her comfy pj's and study. So I send her to school, by bus, forcing the county to send a bus into the neighborhood to get her because the closest school bus stop is near a highway and that shit wont fly.

I can just imagine MJ going ballistic if they used her outburst as a reason to punish the kid.
Yesterday was my firstborn daughter's birthday and while searching for something else I pulled her file out of my old metal file cabinet and found a sheet of paper where she had written 25 sentences that said, "Belching in public is not socially acceptable." That was dated June 1990.
Apparently it wasn't enough. Below that in the file, dated November of the same year, was a sheet with 100 handwritten sentences that said, "I will not belch in public because it is rude."
I don't remember either time it happened, but the first sentence on each page was my handwriting.
There were other things in her file that I didn't remember, but I'm glad I tucked some of those little gems away to save for the future.

I finally got a dose of morphine, because my back was killing me. Did you know you can get benign tumors on your adrenal glands? I did not know that. And they usually stay inactive if you dont fuck up like heavy drinking or smoking. You can have to low sodium levels? Which creates a paradox because I am low salt, due to high blood pressure, so it seemed odd to me.
So after beating the devil possessed girl from the exorcist, because once i was empty it became weaponized. The thought of food or drink or any smell of any thing edible it would send me firing stomach acid apparently, since I have not eaten anything for three days, and taking tiny baby sips of water or gatorade.
They would not let me leave until I ate something, but they put in a liquid anti nausea medicine that I will marry if I could. So the snack they could only bring me is my mortal enemy. Lets say between this and the blandest cake ever, I would eat the cake.
Sugar free pudding. And a glass of mixed gatorade. like powder to water mix.
I told them to just wheel me to the morgue, I will fill out the paperwork on the way.
Just eat the damned pudding.
Dont wanna.
Eat it.
Cant make me.
Yes, they can make you eat the pudding, by finishing off the last half of the dose of Morphine, and once I was compliant, I ate the pudding. But it stayed down. so I got discharged. Poor wife is getting diamonds for christmas, since she had to clean up after me. I owe her the world for it.

Tough going there WB. Sounds like a crazy situation. As one who's been a regular to the ER this last year I know how fun that can be. How long will you be on your pudding and Gatorade diet? :roll:
Anyway, hope you'll be your feisty self again soon.

I am not touching sugar free pudding ever again. I dont care if its the panacea that could completely cure me. To me it bad tasting. not fun. I gotta watch my fluid intake, got me some gatorade and am avoiding solid foods for the time being, since they gave me a prescription for an antibiotic that you can guess...has nausea as a side effect. monday i need to go to my regular doctor for tests, but she cant see me till the end of the month. So I am just going to grin and bear it as my back stopped hurting, my stomach and I have reached a cease fire agreement, but my leg needs to heal from this infection. Thank you very much Ms Slave, and everyone.

The guy next door has set up outside lighting to illuminate his yard. Why? Oh, I don't know. Security? As a landing strip? For night volleyball? I don't know. Security I guess, but tonight he's using it so he can leaf blow.
I just wanted a nice fire with s'mores and a drink in the backyard but he's ruining it with his f*in floodlights on while using his f*ing leaf blower. It's 10:15 at night. OMFG
Dan told him to shut that shit off and he said sorry. Stopped leaf blowing but his lights are still on. Clueless.
I lived in a gated community for a number of years. And most of the houses in the neighborhood were up the hill and around the corner. But my house was right next to the entrance gates. And our fucking HOA installed flood lights on the gates. The lights completely flooded my bedroom that overlooked the area, and it was like trying to sleep over a floodlight during an air raid. Every few days I would go down and unscrew the bulbs. Add a few days later the Afghani HOA dude would screw them back in. So then I took to buying 75 W bulbs. And I would go down and take out the floodlights, and put in these little lamp size bulbs. This went on for years. It was a true war of attrition. I even took to taking a halogen Q-beam and focusing it on his bedroom in the middle of the night. Eventually the lights would go on, and I would slip away.

We have security lights over the door coming out of the garage. We have taken to calling them "the bunny lights". Yep, little long eared critters set them off as they hop by.
I seldom spot any when I look out. Much of the time they're probably on the way out of the yard. There was one time early in the morning. I was in the kitchen and I saw the lights flash on. I went to the window in time to see a possum strolling down the walk.
I did see the neighbor one day and mentioned told her we called them bunny lights. She said she'd notice. They shined right into her bedroom.
So now I have the sight lines figured out. ;D :emot_laughing:
BTW... She said lights didn't bother her. As to her property...she has lights on each side of her garage door bright enough to land a 737. :D

I love my job, but somtimes days like yesterday happen.
One of the dogs that stay at our daycare was lost during a surgery to remove a tumor. She has been coming to daycare for the past 11 years. Pretty much since I started working there. Whenever the family go on trips or gone for a weekend, she stays with us, and I always get excited to see her. One of those beautiful hearts that I just want to Sir in the kennel with her. She was an absolute doll, and when she did sleep she had the cutest little snores. She was also a girl who could not control her locker. Giving kisses to anybody and everybody.
Testing showed that the cancer hadn't spread, and removing the tumor should extend her life greatly. It however is not cheap and most dont have any kind of pet insurance, and to be honest a lot of pet insurances are crap. It is also quite dangerous considering she is 13 years old, but the family elected to do it anyways.
About an hour in, she was gone. Making it worse was having to tell the family that we all knew so well. Then the thought of their other dog not knowing what happened. She was there, she left, and never comes back!! Uttely heartbreaking
My god I cant even type this out without becoming a blubbering balling mess.
Her daddy came back to see her one more time, but momma said she couldn't. It was the most heartwrenching sight seeing him with his head to hers crying as hard as he could. Felt like I was dying.
Yesterday I fucking hated my job

So sorry Shiela. I got all teary eyed halfway through your post. Having lost many pets over my long life I've grieved for them all. We lost our female cat just a year ago, and the boy still checks her favorite places around the house.
It's one thing to talk about "the circle of life". But when the pets we've known and loved leave us there's the paw prints still on our heart. They stay forever.
Bless you for the job you do. And a WOO just because you're wonderful.

What made my day. Just got back from getting my uncle from the hospital and taking him home. Then M and I cleaned his house and made some homemade chicken noodle. Home now. M and I are leaving for the movies in 5 minutes.
Oh, and wind chill is 32 degrees. So that kinda ruined my day too. But not as much as the Watcher update. Get well soon my feathery friend.

Woke up this morning to an empty bed. Was just laying there wide awake from 5:30 to 7:00 and thought of our love making session we last had. So, I slipped out of my undies and started playing, no luck. Got out a vibe toy, no luck. We're a half hour in by this time. So, I go to the shower with one of my larger toys. No luck.
Now I'm just sore and frustrated.

Wife of my friend who's in the hospital still after breaking his hip weeks ago called. She needs a break from visiting him. He's being uncooperative with every attempt to help him. Blowing off the wife too when she tries to encourage him.
She's going to take a break from her daily visits for a couple days. VA only allows one visitor a day so I'll try to get in to see him.
Looks like life in a nursing home for him if he won't start to try working at going home.

I mentioned that I had a Covid, Flu and Whooping cough shot yesterday. I felt okay when I woke up, but as the day went on, I started feeling bad. First chills, then upset stomach, headache. It all came to a head at my friend's house. We were sitting talking and I just went south. Chilled beyond belief. I was going to go home, but Barb said she wasn't letting me go home in that condition. I laid down on her couch and she covered me with blankets. Didn't work, I was still chilled. Then she suggested a soak in the tub of hot water. I her bathroom is amazing with heated floors and a wall heater. She had everything cranked up on high. I walked in and undressed and got in the tub, slipping below the bubbles. It felt good and took away the chill. She knocked and asked to come in. She came in and asked if I needed anything. "Yes, a big tub like this in my bathroom.."
She went and got A from school while I stayed there. I warmed the water a couple of times. I could here them downstairs and I gave it another half hour, got out and dried off. Barb had an extra sweater for me that I was able to put on. Served up some chicken broth soup for us. I took A home, drank a ton of water, and covered up with blankets. I woke up feeling surprisingly well, but am still weak. Hopefully I'll get a good nights sleep. Bu wide awake right now.
Watching The Mole on Netflix. Feeling much better though, so no worries.

I had an infusion last week to strengthen my bones. A medication I'm taking can weaken the bones. While I was there I also got a flu shot. I've never had any reaction to shots before. Two days later my legs were pretty much useless and was real tired. Kept falling asleep in my chair.

Thank you guys. :-* I'm feeling perfectly fine this morning. I did cover up with a heavy blanket on top of my normal sheet and blanket. I couldn't fall asleep (likely because of my evening nap), but last looked at the clock at appx 1:45. At 2:30 I had to pee. Fell right back to sleep, thankfully. At 4:00 I woke up drenched in sweat. Pushed the heavy blanket off. Got up about 40 minutes ago. No chills, no headache. Feeling a little weak. M took A to school for me. And now Barb is coming over about 10am to check up on me. I told her I was fine and she said okay, but then mentioned she baked some lemon bread that I LOVE and she was just prepping the icing for it. Well! I told her to quit screwing around and get her ass over here.
And keeping with the subject topic. What ruined my day? I didn't win the Powerball.

Within a 3 mile radius of my house, I have six 7-11 stores. Most Speedway gas stations now have the 7-11 machines in them.
As for your area MS.... those Kwik Trip stores in Minnesota & Wisconsin arre great. They had the cheapest diesel fuel and the food selections are the best I've ever seen. Travel America, Flying J, Pilot are not even close in comparison. We're limited as to what gas stations we can get into with the RV and a lot of the KwikTrips could accommodate us.

Our favorite is the Holiday Station Stores. Have the best coffee.

My Sasha was feeling poorly, abdominal swelling, fatigue. She thought it was constipation, but then the jaundice set in. She went to the doctor, who sent her to the hospital for testing. The diagnosis is cirrhosis of the liver.
TIL cirrhosis slows the normal flow of blood through the liver, thus increasing pressure in the vein that brings blood to the liver from the intestines and spleen. The increased pressure in the portal vein can cause fluid to accumulate in the legs (edema) and in the abdomen (ascites). Sasha has serious ascites, and she’s been in the hospital for almost three weeks now.
Sasha doesn’t drink, but like my ICSO (it’s complicated significant other), she had a back injury a few years ago and takes a lot of drugs and injections. She is killing her liver. 34 years old. Such a sexy beautiful woman. Damn Russians.
Either I know how to pick them, or getting involved with Toe is a curse. Public service message.

DO NOT EVER BLAME YOURSELF. EVER. People will always do as they please, even when the path is unclear they will go with what is easiest for them. You are a good man, but the personal problems of your lovers are on them, unless you are directly involved with it. Try and get her help as best you can, but understand its ultimately on the person to either get help and get better or not. She seems like a lovely woman, and I hope she can get the treatment she needs and you can continue your torrid love affair with her, but I will not offer pretty empty words for you. Blaming yourself will only lead you down a slippery slope of self loathing and denial of the reality around you. I watched many good men almost kill themselves over those stupid questions "Is it my fault?" "What could I have done differently?" Nothing. There is nothing you can do except try to help her see the need for help, because from that point on its on her whether she seeks it or not. You are too good of a man to put any stock in thinking you are cursed.

Life is insanely funny like that. Like the cruelest joke it could play.

Thank you guys. :-* I'm feeling perfectly fine this morning. I did cover up with a heavy blanket on top of my normal sheet and blanket. I couldn't fall asleep (likely because of my evening nap), but last looked at the clock at appx 1:45. At 2:30 I had to pee. Fell right back to sleep, thankfully. At 4:00 I woke up drenched in sweat. Pushed the heavy blanket off. Got up about 40 minutes ago. No chills, no headache. Feeling a little weak. M took A to school for me. And now Barb is coming over about 10am to check up on me. I told her I was fine and she said okay, but then mentioned she baked some lemon bread that I LOVE and she was just prepping the icing for it. Well! I told her to quit screwing around and get her ass over here.
And keeping with the subject topic. What ruined my day? I didn't win the Powerball.
Glad you are better MJ.

Daughter and husband are in town for a couple weeks. Had a lot of fun so far.
Went out for big dinner at a favorite Italian Restaurant at noon. Took wife's son along too. Big family affair.
Got to the restaurant and got a handicapped spot for wife and me. As I was easing my way out of my seat a little old lady came up to my door and asked if I needed any help. :facepalm:
I said thanks, but just need to take my time. I got out and shut my door so she could get in hers. Dang...she only came up to my shoulder and must have been half my weight. :emot_laughing:
Otherwise it was a great day and a great meal. We all had a lot of fun. Naturally there were lots of laughs about my getting such a sweet offer of help. :emot_laughing:

The middle one came home from college on Tuesday and Wednesday. Well, she went to her mom's house, but didn't come see her dad. Dan is a little upset. Not mad, but he has hurt feelings. He's not letting on to anyone but me. I just explained that kids that age are only worried about themselves only and don't think about others, and not to take it personally. He knows she loves him but he still loves seeing his children and spending time with them every chance he gets. That's why we love the oldest living with us.

My youngest, my mini me, is becoming increasingly independent and distant. He just got elected president of his fraternity. I was president of mine also. But I rarely hear from him, and see him even less frequently. We live only about 20 minutes apart in the same city. But I hear from my other children more frequently. So I understand how Dan feels. It’s not hurt in the sense of feeling rejected. It is hurt in the realization the time is moving on, and your baby is an adult. And you’ll be an old man someday, living alone, full of regret…
My ex, his mother, is very demanding of his attention, and refuses to provide financial assistance for college unless he comes by for a visit at least once a month. So a few weeks ago, I got a phone call from him that he had finished dinner at his mother’s house, and was about to pop a turtle. “Do you think I could come by your place and take a shit on the way home?” I replied, “Don’t use metaphors with me.”

I know the experience. 11 or so years ago, my youngest came home with her oldest child (two at the time) and when she went home, we felt like the only reason she even bothered coming was to go out with friends and have us babysit. Tell Dan that sometimes, that's just the way they are. Today is her 34th birthday and the "it's all about me" stage is still in full effect. Some out grow it. Some don't.

This is why I'm always going by my dad's house. Love spending time with him and hes always smiles and full of jokes. (Minus packers games of late). When we're young we always see dads as authority and strength of the family and dont always think about how emotional you men can actually be. You all need reassurance just like we do, and sometimes it can be easy for us to forget that.
While in Boston, did you make it to Fanuel Hall? Great seafood restaurants there.
We HATED Boston. The traffic was absolutely horrendous. I was less stressed out driving combat zones while overseas. There is no order people cutting you off left and right, and when we tried, everybody honked at us. In a round about one guy literally drove over the middle circle and cut in right in front of us. We honked he flipped us off and threw a water bottle out his window at our vehicle. He missed but still. Speed limit is 35 and everybody doing 70-80. Tailgating like nobodies business.
Another time during a green light while we were waiting on an arrow, some jackass drove in the lane going straight and then cut in at the front to turn left... who does this shit? We are not used to that kind of chaos and utter selfishness on the road. Yes there are people who will cut in left and right swerving through traffic, but your the odd one out if you DONT do that in boston traffic.
Then the homeless people swarming your vehicle when waiting at a red light. Had one guy start screaming at us because shannon checked to make sure the doors are lock when he approached. Started waving his sign around saying he has nothing and wasnt going to kill us with a sign. Amand sitting in back put down her window just a crack and said "we locked our doors because we dont know if your a psycho, and right now you're definitely acting like one." Wr yelled at her for antagonizing him, and thankfully the light turned green and we drove off.
Then there is the dead stop traffic jams that add at least 10-15 minutes to any drive.
Oh, and because we ended up showing up a day early we got a room at a different hotel because it would have been an addition $1000 to add one night to the reservation we already had. The other three nights were $900 all together. And this hotel was a DUMP. The door didn't seem the shut all the way. No deadbolt, but a rusty chain. We pushed furniture in front of the door for added security, and you could hear everything the neighbors were doing. They had kids and loved blasting cartoons on the tv... we regret not dishing out that extra grand.
Next time we go, if we do it again, we're getting a hotel in Salem. Will be worth the extra money to stay out of Boston as much as possible.

Perfectly clear skies last night when the sun went down. I got an email notification that the ISS would be visible at 7:15 am. And it was going to pass almost exactly overhead.
Time: Sat Nov 05 7:15 AM Visible: 6 min Max Height: 88° Appears: 19° above NW Disappears: 10° above SE"
So, I got up, and it was cloudy. 😞
I guess it didn't ruin my day, but I always like to see the ISS flyover when possible.
But last night when I received the email and mentioned to everyone in an excited voice that 7:15 am we could see it, they all said, "please don't wake me up." I told them they are all fuddy duds.

In central Boston, the streets curve every which way because they just paved over former cow paths. In the back bay area, the streets are more a grid system. My first time flying into Boston, I saw the hotel I was staying at, but couldn't get to it because of all the winding streets.

They'll be back in the spring again. I just hope I'll still be able to get around then.

I've gotten to old to care about time changes. Being retired has most to do with that as we have no schedule to keep.
Other than the cell phone and computer, none of the clocks are self changing. It's a chore I hate doing.
Last night I took the clock in the kitchen down to reset that one. The little wheel thingy for resetting the clock had fallen off. I was able to turn the nub of a post where it had been with a pair of pliers. There will.be another clock needed before that one's battery runs down and needs replacement.
As for the clock in the car...we'll spring will come again in a few months and that clock will be correct again. :emot_laughing:

The only clock that still requires changing in my house is the one on the stove. And nobody really uses that. Every other time keeping device, including the car, syncs with the Internet. So everything automatically changed. Which is good. I always hated that walking around changing the clocks thing.

As for time change, Baja California Sur switched last week (last weekend in October) and will not be springing forward ever again. Mexico, as a country, is now on permanent standard time with the exception of some border cities and the state of Quintana Roo. The border cities (Tijuana, Mexicali, etc) will continue to mark the time changes of the bordering US state. Quintana Roo has been and will continue to observe Eastern Standard Time in deference to the tourists in Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Isla Mujeres, etc.
The fact that I've changed the clock in my vehicle for the last time makes me happy (even though it is incredibly easy to do).

Powerball Estimated Jackpot for 11/07/22 (today) Annuitized: $1.90 Billion, Cash Value: $929.1 Million. Sweet dreams today, and spending that money in my head.
The drawing is delayed.
From CNN
"The California Lottery announced late Monday night that it’s delaying the Powerball drawing because officials need more time to complete security protocols.
The delay is caused by one participating lottery that needs more time to process its sales, the Multi-State Lottery Commission told CNN in a statement. The drawing is still planned to occur after that procedure is completed.
Earlier, the California Lottery said, “Powerball has strict security requirements that must be met by all 48 lotteries before a drawing can occur,” adding that a participating lottery needs extra time to meet those requirements before the drawing can be conducted."
So I don’t understand. They haven’t done the drawing yet? Or they done the drawing but they’re not announcing the results?
They’ve got a $157 million Mega Millions drawing scheduled for tonight.
If no one wins PB this time, it’ll be 2 1/2 billion on Wednesday, with a cash option worth more than $1 billion.

We never fixed the Texas power grid, so power outages this winter are a definite possibility. My concern is for my ICSO and her portable hemodialysis system.
At any given moment during a six hour home dialysis cycle, the machine has about half a cup of the patient’s blood in it. If there’s a power failure, it is necessary to use a hand crank to pump the blood back into the patient. And some complicated disconnecting of things that need to be disconnected etc. I would be very worried about her having the power to go down and have to do all that herself, without someone’s assistance. She is typically home alone in the afternoons.
They make a portable electric unit that maintains a sufficient charge, to keep the machine running in the event of a power failure. I’m looking into buying one. The cheap ones are a few hundred dollars. The ones that provide several hours of charge are several thousand dollars.

Just heard from the wife of my friend that's in the hospital with a broken hip. He's been in since October 1st. When I saw him yesterday he'd thought he'd been in the hospital only 3 weeks.
They did some x-rays this afternoon and now they want to do more surgery! Looks like a long road home for my best bud.

My friend with the broken hip problem is back in surgery this morning. It was October 1st when he broke the hip. Had a 4 1/2 hour surgery and hasn't done well in rehab.
Yesterday his wife got a call from his doctor. Somehow the ball of the hip joint had come out of the socket. X-rays showed some bone chips too.
When I talked with wife this morning she'd gotten to the hospital too late. They'd already taken him in to surgery. She was pretty weepy on the phone. It is a worry, along with being as old as I am, he has COPD in a bad way

He's out of surgery and was in recovery as of a couple hours ago. Doctor tried to put the ball back into the socket without surgery. No go, so in they went. Added some wires and other hardware. He'll be in some sort of brace that will keep leg from moving. Back to square one, maybe even further behind.
I wish they'd ease up on visitor restrictions. Still only one person per day for one hour.

You might want to go for broke and get an auxiliary generator that kicks in automatically if the mains get interrupted. I don't know the cost but the benefits, in this case, are definitely worth it.

I thought about it, but I live 120 miles away in Austin. And I don’t trust any of the idiots in that house to safely fuel and operate an auxiliary generator. If there is some way to set the house on fire, or fill it with carbon monoxide, they will figure it out. I can’t tell you how many times they have left the stove top or oven on, and filled the house with smoke. It’s just a disaster looking for a place to happen.

As if to prove my point, my son woke me up at 7:30 this morning with a phone call to advise that the ICSO had left something burning on the stove, and filled the house with smoke, setting off the alarm. And she eats a lot of strange things, so usually it’s a fish odor, liver, or some form of pork offal.

I’m sort of the stable mare. I am the fellow with gray hair that keeps all the youngsters from killing each other. So I feel guilty if I don’t go to the office. So 20th Century of me.

Harvey F'N Weinstein
News article I read.....
Jennifer Siebel Newsom — wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom — sobbed as she described Harvey Weinstein’s “distorted” and “fish-like” genitals during her bombshell testimony at the disgraced movie producer’s sexual assault trial Monday. Identified in court at Jane Doe 4, Siebel Newsom broke down in tears recounting how Weinstein allegedly raped her in 2005 at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

"distorted and fish-like genitals". That is one terrible image. But it fits well with the sick person he is.

Radio silence from me for the next 20 minutes.

Same for me with the British comedian Peter Kay. He went into semi-retirement but just announced his first tour for 12 years. Unbelievably, tickets for 110 performances spread over 2 years sold out in less than an hour. I wasn't one of the lucky ones; when I first joined the queue there were 40,000 in front of me. Scalpers (touts to us) asking £1000 within minutes of the sale.

Trump announcing he will be running for president, which means two years of hatred being spewed across the airwaves. Ugh.
This is hardly an original assertion, but I think the biggest takeaway from the midterms is that Trump's hold on the GOP is on the wane. The fact that the Republicans failed to re-take the Senate can be laid directly at Trump's feet, and in a very real, Trump's strong endorsement contributed to the GOP losses.
The Republicans will inevitably impeach Biden when the new session begins in early January, and when they do, the Senate will as inevitably vote to acquit him by a fairly large margin. This will only serve to further marginalize the GOP, and push voters toward the Democrats in the 2024 elections.
On top of that, I fearlessly predict that once the primaries begin in early 2024 and he begins to lose primaries and caucuses, Trump's ego is too big to stay in the race beyond Super Tuesday, and he'll either "suspend" his campaign, or announce a third party run. And Trump running as a third-party candidate is one the of the best things Democrats can hope for.
Watcher's right: It means two more years of Trump bullshit, name-calling, and hatred-spewing. But that could prove an ironic positive to "undecided" voters.

Second day bummer. My friend with broken hip problem is going nuts. Guess he's telling rehab people to fuck off. His doctor said if he keeps that up their shipping him off to a nursing home. His wife walked out on him yesterday. Now he's calling 911 saying he's being held hostage.
If that's the case it's not a hard thing to accomplish as he can't walk.

I’ve got a Legal Assistant that has been a consistent source of problems for me. Missed assignments, blown deadlines, poor bedside manner with clients, etc. I am increasingly spending my time doing purely clerical work that he mishandled or simply did not do in the first place.
So today he brings in a document for my review, and it’s a big hot bowl of mess. I asked him if he understood generally accepted accounting principles, and he told me he did not know what that was. And I said well this document reflects that fact. So I open excel and spent two hours correcting his settlement summary sheet. It’s basically a client’s income statement that reflects all proceeds recovered, and all expenses paid, at the end of a case.
I finally have some thing that is workable. I handed it to him and said “proofread this for me and send it to the client immediately.“ Two hours later I go by his office and ask if he had sent the document as instructed, and he told me he did not, because it was all wrong. He opened my document in Excel and undid everything that I had spent two hours doing to correct the document.
Well my head exploded. Not doing your job is bad enough, but undoing my job, badly? He’s taking it to a whole nother level. I just went home early, I didn’t have time to blow a gasket and read him the riot act. It’s been one of those days.

When the cold snap hit, and the furnace went on for the first time, of course it blew out a lot of dust and smoke. And then the air got dry. And then I developed a little bit of a cough. Started spitting up phlegm, then yesterday I started coughing up blood. And I am wondering if I need to go to the doctor. Seriously. I hate this fucking time of the year. Good news is my vaccinations are all current. I don’t think it’s anything serious. But every time I talk more than two or three sentences, I start coughing. And I get paid to talk. Ugh.
In other news: My brother got drunk and abusive (again) last night. He wonders why no one likes him. Because he is an angry, resentful motherfucker. Just like my dad (not too surprisingly, they hate each other). I blocked him. I think I may just leave it that way this time.

Wow! It seems there is a lot of crap going around. For the dry, heated air, try putting a couple of medium size mixing bowls of water in the bedrooms to humidify the air.
As for the grand fuckery at work, fire the dumb fuck's ass.
And now for my what ruined my day -- my usual dosage of coffee did not get consumed. Got up a smidgeon later than usual to go to the local organic market. I got about 3/4 of a mug into me. The wife a little bit less. We got to the market about an hour after we usually do. I didn't buy any citrus because all the good quality oranges were already sold.
We had our usual chat with our coffee vendor then left the market at about quarter after 10. We should have been home in 10-15 minutes. Nope. We ran into a friend on the sidewalk and ended up chatting with her and her new friend for about 20 minutes. After we had concluded that conversation we were heading back to our vehicle where upon we ran into another friend. half an hour later, we finally climbed into the van and headed home. So, we "wasted" damn near an hour socializing and as a result kind of ran out of coffee drinking time.
I suppose it all boils down to perspective. This afternoon, down on the Malecon, is an 11 hour craft beer and pizza festival. I'm hoping it improves my day.

Got T- boned on the way to the grocery store this afternoon. Pretty sure the car will end up being totaled as it's a 2012. I was making a left at a busy intersection when BAM!!! Some fucker must have run a red light and hit my passenger side. Looking back at where my car ended up, the other driver pushed me several feet into the other lane of traffic.
I had the breath knocked out of me. From the seat belt mostly. FYI... when you're hit the seat.belts tighten up. And I mean hard. Chest still hurts along the outline of the chest strap. Both side air bags deployed.
Still at the ER for a check up just in case. In 60 years of driving this is the first accident I've been in. :facepalm:

In the classic hyperextension hyperflexion injury, muscles, ligaments, and tendons are pulled past their normal limits. You have a sheering of tissue, and a micro vascular bleed out that causes edema. That’s the fancy name for swelling. But all of that tissue is innervated, and the swelling does cause problems. You may feel fine at the scene, but usually the following day you’ll be noticing pains. And the day after that, it’s usually the worst people feel. But you need to take anti-inflammatories, hot or cold packs, gentle stretching of the affected areas. It’s important to minimize the formation of scar tissue. Although I suspect Bob has more scar tissue in his body than Hulk Hogan.

Ron died in 2018. He had a debilitating case of dementia. The last 10 years of his life were not quality ones.
He was always a bit of a lightning rod, because of his representation of Marjorie Caldwell in the notorious 1977 Glensheen murders case. Some people think he got a guilty woman off the hook.
But the firm is very good for personal injury matters. My own firm has started doing property damage claims, because Texas law allows you to recover money for loss of use of your vehicle. So we have a former insurance adjuster who negotiates those.
Long way of saying, if you need any free advice, let me know. I’ve always thought getting banged up in a car is worth at least $5000, even if you didn’t require medical attention.

I've been working the graveyard shift for a week and a half, and it is frying my brain. Because of my MS, I'm tired enough as it is. But this has made it so much more difficult to focus on anything for long periods or even short periods of time for some things. I have been trying to share my experience in Salme MA, but I cant focus long enough to get anywhere, and when I do, it doesn't make any sense because I'm mistyping and rambling. So I end up deleting half, and then I accidentally deleted the whole thing, so now I'm back to the beginning. Getting back on my normal schedule soon, but then my sleep will still be all fuckered up for a while.
I so want to finish those, but my brain is just to cloudy. At least I get to snuggle with sleeping puppers at night. So it isnt all bad.

After the weirdest Thanksgiving dinner in my history, today I woke up alone. The ladies in my family and my wife's family plus our close friends decided to do the black friday assault on shopping thing, spurned on by the very well to do members of our families. I thought I was free and clear, since I do not like going out while my tummy is still full from yesterday. So I wake up, scratch the usual itches, and decide to door dash me some breakfast. Stupid me. I ordered the two burrito meal, and only got one burrito. Okay, refund time. It seems every time I door dash anything, I get screwed, and not in the pleasurable happy fun time way. So since I am free from work until monday, since upper bosses used the break to have a cleaning company to deep clean the office building of that weird smell that everyone but they know what it is, I decided at six this morning to head to the nice coffee shop for a good coffee. Went to grab my keys and they are gone. Odd.
On the fridge is a note "Writer, borrowed the SUV for shopping!" Cute. Could have told me before hand, because I planned on taking it out to bother my friends in their throes of turkey comas. So I had to drive my wifes "cute" pastel pink kia sophia to the coffee shop. Now I have no hangups on pink or her car, save for one issue. Its too damned small for me to drive. So I get there, and of course the barista is the one I always seem to get, a real chatty kathy. good kid, makes a mean cup of coffee. I pay, get my drink, chat a bit and leave. Guess who passes me by? My wife, on her way home to drop off the first of what seems to be many loads of stuff. She berates me a little in the parking lot for taking her car without calling her. I can only laugh at this point. So I head home, and they are gone again, and I am supposed to start moving the purchases to the basement to be sorted.
And now its 9 am, and my wife and family is on their third trip out. Why does this ruin my day? Black Friday has always been a bad day for me. My mom used to drag us kids every year to the stores and sales. I never liked it, because it would be dinner time before we got home and it was always boring to me. If anything else happens today, I will update this post.

Spent several hours at the VA yesterday. I had two appointments with just enough time to grab lunch between.
Then I took the opportunity to take care of a couple other matters. So much easier in person than fight phone voice mail and horrible music while on hold.
First I went to Audiology. I lost a hearing aid in my car accident a week ago. Needed to see if I could get it replaced. Naturally it had to be the one that controls everything. Good news I get a new examination and new hearing aids. Ones I had were out of warranty. Bad news... earliest appointment not until February. I was told to call Wednesday and recheck. They are trying to open up more appointments sooner.
Then to pharmacy. I ran low on a couple of prescriptions and without a car I couldn't get there to pick them up. Found one was in the mail and still waiting for Doctor to reapprove the other. Pharmacist got me a few of each until full order comes through. She also released a couple other prescriptions a few days early so no waiting for mail
Guess on the balance all that ruined my day was having to wait so long for hearing aids.

Well this is embarrassing. Just happened. I’m having a sexy chat with one of my girlfriends. And it is rather explicit sexually and discussing a threesome and with all kinds of stuff going on. And my freaking brother decides to send me an SMS text message, that somehow or another popped open a window into the middle of my Viber conversation, and I end up sending my brother a message like, “Sucking your nipples while I fuck the shit out of your sister. Watch my big cock stretch her hole.”
And my brother is very weird about sex. We never talk about it. He doesn’t like anything involving pornography, or sexually explicit discussions. I was talking about our parents fucking last night, and he told me to stop talking about that and to be respectful. My response was, “Dad and Mom fucked two or three times a day for years, and never even bothered to close the bedroom door. So why the fuck do you care if I say something 50 years later?“ But apparently he does.
I’m not embarrassed as far as he is concerned, I’m just annoyed. Because his response was a total cock block and fucking ruined my pleasant evening. Jesus. I guess that’ll teach him.

Now would be the time for this. Toe's internet wife, Jules,.is still absent. If ever there was a time to move in on him, it's now.

I sent Jules a message this morning Bob. Not because she’s AWOL, but I wanted her to know you are freaking out in her absence. She needs to hurry back and take care of her men. You’re not going to make it till Sunday.

Well there we go!!
I could be his little sexting whore and he can describe to me how he wants to tie me down. Pinch my nipples, slap my ass, torture me to the edge of sanity with his arsomal.of sex toys, and how he wants to ravage every whole that'll fit his big beautiful dick, and then sends me the pics so I can stare at them while I ride my shower buddy to multiple orgasms, but he "accidentally" sends them to you too!!
My gosh!!! wonder what that would be like. 😘

Her star kept shining through three "Look Who's Talking" movies.
Yes Jules, cancer is a bitch. There is continued progress being made. My Oncologist nurse named several new drugs that just came available.

How hard is it to cook frozen chicken tenders in air fryer?
You’re smoking baby, but those air fryers are the most dangerous thing in the world. So many houses have burned down this year from air fryer fires. I would never own one. And if you do own one, keep it unplugged unless you’re using it. Because they have a bad habit of spontaneously bursting into flames.
How hard is it to cook frozen chicken tenders in air fryer?
Well let me tell you, pretty f'n hard because I just dumped the whole basket in the garbage.
Dan is currently eating cereal. Like actually burying his whole hand in the box and eating it out of his hand.
He's so lucky...I'm hot, I'm smart , and I can cook.
Just remembering from all the times I've had to cook them (gotta love picky child eaters): 10-15 mins at 200°C (392°F, which we can round up to 400°F).
But yes, you're certainly hot and smart.

10-15 mins at 200°C (392°F, which we can round up to 400°F).
Well, you can add to your recipe notes that 30 minutes at 400 is (very) well done.
Don't need to; 20 mins at 400°F is very well done. Learnt that the hard way.

So I headed on over to Allan's house. Figured I'd bring him some food, we watch Thursday night football, and I'd ride his dick until he's spend. I used his door code and went inside. His sweet little baby girl came running up all happy and barking, and then his... ex girlfriend...??... started talking to me. She thought I was him, and when she came around the corner, she was just as surprised as I was.
After the awkward moment I introduced myself and apologized for barging in like I did. Said I didnt know anybody was here, she started explaining she was trying to surprise him with a dinner. I asked if they were getting back together, which seemed to irritate her that I knew about their relationship. She told me that they had been on and off for a while, and the last couple weeks were looking like they might be a couple again.
I turned around told her to let him know I stopped by, and left without another word.
What the hell Allan 😔 Not really looking to be a side chick😠

What can Allen be thinking? Why would he have any interest in an ex. You have to be the best thing that's ever happened to him. And I'm not talking about the sex.
You are a jewel Shiela. Go back, throw the bitch out and educate your man about what's important.

Find him a nice My Condolences card and write that you're sorry to hear about his brain damage.
When he asks what brain damage you mean, say the brain damage he must clearly be suffering if he's willing to give up a good girl like you in favor of an ex with which he had ended things for a reason.

You deserve a good rest. When my rather young employer asked me why I was coming to work late, I looked him in the eye and said “Because I’m almost twice as old as you, and everything takes twice as long. Fortunately, I also have twice experience. So it only takes me half as long to finish the assignment.“ He just mumbled something about me being his father‘s age.

I would’ve stayed. Let him walk in and be confronted by two irate women.
Einstein said that the definition of insanity was “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.“ The Bible says that “even a dog will return to his own vomit.“ If it didn’t work the first time, or the second time, or the third time, it’s not gonna work now. This bitch is bad news. And you should just piss on them both.
Baby you’re beautiful, you’re sexy, you’re funny, you’re every man’s wet dream. So fuck that Green Bay loser. The funny thing is, you spoiled him for anybody else. He’s going to have to think about you to have an orgasm for the rest of his life. Let that blonde think about that a few times after he calls her Shiela. I’ll send her the videos if you want me to.

Oh that really sucks to deal with. I can sort of empathize with my MS.
Even when you get sleep, you never really feel like you're fully rested. Even after the best nights sleep, there is still that little drag in your step. All you can really do is take naps whenever you've got time. Me, I love a good nap. Go by dad's, watch some tv and when he starts snoring from his chair, I cozy up on the couch and get some sleep myself. However I usually wake up hours later where he naps for like 30 minutes.
And surgery makes it even worse. A healing body uses so much more personal energy. Hope you recover soon love and get some sleep :emot_kiss:

Okay. Let cooler heads prevail. Which will be tough because I have been drinking.
So first let me say this. I'm not committed to him. we're casual... maybe more than casual, but when I was away, in Massachusetts, I knew he was hooking up with her. Hell, I had sex with some guy while there. He even admitted to sleeping with her when I was out with Amanda after Shannon's wedding, but I didnt think they were getting serious again.
I'm not angry, irate, or anything like that. Irritated, and upset he wasn't telling me how close they are getting. Then again, I haven't actually talked to him. I need to talk to him. Straight from the horses mouth. Im going to send him a text here shortly, and we'll see what's happening.
All my brain is showing me is him fucking her in my chair...

Just wanted you to know that we all love you, and there’s nothing we wouldn’t do to help you, or assist you in any way possible. I have a son who suffers from clinical depression and I know that, as much as I want to help him “feel better,“ that is not a realistic goal. But I always tell him that “I know you’re having a hard day. I want you to know I love you. And I’m here for you.“ Does not make him feel better, but it makes me feel better. So I extend the same to you baby. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
I know the end of the year, colder weather, the holidays, etc. can all form a huge dog pile. I am spending the holidays alone for the first time in 30+ years. Not even putting up a tree. God bless us, every one.

Guns are now the No. 1 cause of deaths among American children and teens, ahead of car crashes, other injuries and congenital disease.
In other rich countries, gun deaths are not even among the top four causes of death, a recent Kaiser Family Foundation report found. The U.S. accounts for 97 percent of gun-related child deaths among similarly large and wealthy countries, despite making up just 46 percent of this group’s overall population.

But every once in a while it gets to me and I get irritated and tell her about herself. Today was a bad day and it happened a few times. When I went to bring her dinner she had climbed under the covers and turned off all the lights. I feel like a total piece of crap. Life goes on.

Actually, it's been going on for a while now. Elon Musk becoming an asshole. I used to really admire him because I felt his push to space was more than just about money. I really thought he wanted to make things better and make a positive name for himself in the history books. Now I think he'll be in the history books but for all the wrong reasons. Maybe his current actions will lead to something great but I doubt it. You don't do great things by shitting all over people.

And here is the amazing thing about it all. Most of his wealth has been made by Tesla. Most of the people who patronize Tesla are well educated progressives, who believe in alternate energy sources. He has totally destroyed the brand in a single year. Because he is alienating the people that are willing to spend that kind of money for an EV. Government subsidies and incentives are ending. Market share is eroding.
At the rate he is going, he is going to end up like Sam Bankman-Fried.

My wife and I are both on disability and receive Social Security. The great news is SS recipients got a whopping 8% increase in our cost of living increase. That was great. It's not like a raise for those that don't know how it works. You can't buy more things than you could before, but since prices have risen so drastically, with that kind of increase you should be able to buy the same as before. Unfortunately, the increase raised our monthly income enough to knock off other benefit programs, like food stamps. So the $300 a month increase between us was awesome, but we lost like $400 in other benefits so doing the math we are now $100 below where we were before the increase. Now truthfully, I am not really complaining. There are others that have it far worse than we do. This simply illustrates the short-sighted thinking on capital hill. "Hey, lets' give SS recipients a big increase this year. It'll make us look like heroes." Even before the reality hit, everyone was all excited about the big increase. My wife was standing off stage going, "Uh wait a minute, you know what this really means is we're all gonna get fucked." She's a regular basket of cheer that one. The problem is she is right an annoying amount of the time.

My best friend has been in the hospital since October 1st with a broken hip that just won't heal. About month ago they had to do a second surgery. The ball part of the hip won't stay in the socket. Today they are going to put him under and try to pop it back in without doing surgery. If that doesn't work they plan to wake him up and move him to a local hospital to see what they can do.
Meanwhile his wife who's worn herself out visiting him, dealing with his doctors and even doing a video tour of their home with the occupational therapist for his hopeful return home, ended up with heart problems. She required a pacemaker and that still isn't working so their adding medication. She got out of the hospital yesterday.
I'm standing by to do what I can to help. She won't make it to the hospital today to see hubby so I'm planning on braving the cold to check on him. He's in early stages of dementia so we don't know how much he understands about his situation or his wife's heart problems.

Bob, don’t take this the wrong way, but it is subzero weather outside, there is frozen precipitation all over the place, you’re 77 years old and not in particularly good health yourself. So what could go wrong? You do not need to get out and drive to the hospital today to visit a friend with dementia. I hope you’re staying inside where it’s warm and let things take care of themselves. Don’t make me come over there and take away your keys.

Ok. Home safe and sound. Streets in the city are in good condition. They (Weather people) over do the wind chill temps. With all the houses and trees in the city there's not that much wind. Yet the winds are measured in the open at the airport on top of a high tower. Yet the fear factor the media tries to create makes it more fun to exaggerate.
Agreed there's still the idiots out there. The guy who T-boned me ran a red light and hit me while on dry pavement. There's nothing really safe anymore except to pull a blanket over your head.
Still I appreciate all the care and concern. Stubborn...who me. :emot_laughing

But... at least ive got my heated seats. Have i ever mentioned that i love my heated seats?
First woo. Because I love the thought of keeping your delightful sexy butt warm. I went to the grocery store. We don’t have snow or ice yet. But the wind is howling and the windchill factor is 10°F. And I was bundled up. But I swear I was absolutely shivering by the time I got the groceries in the house. Enjoying a decaf latte now. Trying to stay warm. I need a butt warmer too.
A german lady friend of mine told me that they call them pussy ovens ;D

Glad to hear it, Bob.
As we only get snow occasionally in the south east of the UK we act like complete idiots and don't have the infrastructure to cope with it. My pet hate is when idiots follow you up an incline nose to tail - one gets stuck we all get stuck. "Wait at the bottom you cretin until the car in front makes it to the top"

Too much information, but I was watching football yesterday, and ordered KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) from Uber.
Enjoyed my lunch (Houston won), then suddenly started to feel bad, dizzy, nauseous, you name it. I was hallucinating, vomiting, trying to desperately keep it together, but passed out and woke up drenched in sweat in a pool of my own urine on the floor.
This was far worse than food poisoning. I think the food was drugged. Took about three hours of shivering under a blanket with Gatorade (after mopping and a shower) to feel better. Today I am fine.
I will never eat KFC again.

Food poisoning generally takes about 8 hours to affect someone. If whatever hit you right after you ate it could be something else. Passing out is the extreme. Sounds like you need to seek medical attention ASAP. Hope you can get some answers. Do you have any remnants of the chicken that could be tested. I'm glad you're feeling better but hope you'll follow up. Tough to think about as the holiday starts but that's why our medical professionals are heroes.

I'll spare everyone the details, but the fact my day is ruined at 3am is in and of itself impressive. The fact it's 3am Christmas Day doesn't improve the situation either. And at my sister-in-law's house too. (We were here celebrating Christmas with a barbecue dinner.) She's pretty forgiving, but I doubt her toilet is.

Staph can affect you in as little as 30 minutes. But I agree. This was insanely off the charts.
Christmas Eve. Not going to spend it at an ER.
I do think a drug or toxin was involved, but the whole thing was over in about 3 hours. Very strange. My son is spending the holiday with me and was freaked out.

Being so broke I have to do all my own oil changes.
I do my own, whether I have the money or not to have it professionally done, cause the last time I took my truck R.I.P. in for an oil change, the dildo dipshits not only did not tighten the oil drain plug, they did not tighten the oil filter. So about four blocks away from the shop, she died. I was so pissed that I demanded a refund. They gave me my money back, since the oil they just put in was all over the road in a trail from their shop. Found the plug, had to walk to the auto parts store, and refill her, and she was good as gold once everything was right and tight.

Thats what dad's are for. He would get pissed if he found out i took my car in someplace to get it done. Ive laid down on the ground next to him while he does it, but that's as far as I'm going!
I remember the first time he did it on my car, apparently the oil filter is in a very odd spot with a very usual way of removing it... he was getting quite angry. Owners manual to the rescue!

I really with people would be more considerate. Bringing a sick kid around a gathering is not a good idea. They don't cover when they cough, they touch everything. The don't wash their hands. I'm feeling dirty just thinking about it.
Hope you and your family get past it. Chicken broth and lots of water.

Of course this is the story of the anti-vaxxers also. It’s not enough to not care about your own health, you have to give something to grandma and I hope you don’t kill her. It’s just crazy the lack of consideration that this requires. Leave the kid at home. Hire a babysitter. You don’t need to expose everyone in the family to your pathogens.

So I got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Was tired and fell asleep in my chair.
About 5:30, a big crash woke me up. Wife had.fallen by the front door. She tried to scoot on her butt to the kitchen where she could pull herself up. She'd also bumped her head when she fell and we decided to call 911.
Within minutes the house was full of firemen and EMTs. Even our cat was concerned and got on his table in the kitchen to make sure everyone took care of Mom. One of the fireman gave him pets to reassure kitty.
Two firemen picked her up and with someone on each side of her she was able to walk to the front of the house out the door and down the front steps where there was a stretcher. She was able to get on that on her own and they strapped her down and loaded her in the ambulance.
Meanwhile two neighbors came over and checked on me. They insisted I eat something before I go to the hospital. One ran home and was back with some pasta with green stuff on it. It was good.
I shoved some down my face then got dressed to go to the hospital. Just blocks away the phone rang. Broke my rule about answering the phone in the car and it was the wife. She was ready to go. Had her in the car a few minutes later and home we went.
Still had enough pasta to feed her too. And we got through the night with no more excitement.
So we start a new year. Just see if we can make it better. :D

So glad to hear everything worked out alright. You made the comment about her black eye and the neighbors looking at you. Several years ago my mom fell and hit her eye. She was bleeding and the area was swelling like crazy. I took her to the hospital, and the ER receptionist asked what happened. Without thinking, I said, "Ah, she pissed me off." Then, without missing a beat, my mom says, "Yeah, but I deserved it."
The sense of humor in our family is so fucked up. To this day I can't figure out why the lady never called security.

Got a text from Lindsey asking if I was sick, when i said yes, feel like death. All she sent back was a "sorry". Thats it, one word nothing else, which leads me to believe her husband is the reason shes even asking. I swear that arrogant bitch thinks she does no wrong! Still love her though 🤬

Oh no. But glad she was released to go home already. I'm just worried about the head bump. Keep an eye on her and contact the doctor at the first sign of any oddities in her. Love you both.

Got stuck in the alley trying to get to the VA for appointments. Neighbor had cleared my driveway but as soon as I hit the alley I was stopped cold by the snow.
I went back to the garage and grabbed a shovel hoping to get the car free. I did some scooping when bam, down.ony.butt I went. As if that wasn't bad enough, I couldn't get back up on my own.
Neighbor came down after helping get another vehicle .out. She was about to help me up and chased me back to the garage, insisting I grab my cane.
She and and neighbor went to work on the stuck car and soon it was back in the garage. Went in and notified VA that I need everything rescheduled.

Gotta keep acting like I was still in my 60s, young and spry.
I’m in my 60s, and there’s nothing young and spry about it. I have a lawyer friend who refused to accept his age. And he made a point of jogging every single day. Long distances. Really pushing himself. And then he traveled, worked long hours, and did a lot of other things. So a few months ago he’s at a conference, got up to give a presentation, and passed out in front of a room full of people. Facedown on the floor passed out.
They rushed him to the hospital, and the diagnosis was dehydration, potassium deficiency, and exhaustion. He didn’t have a heart attack, his body just gave out.
I had a long talk with him. “Consider that your check engine light coming on. You’ve got to slow down.“
He’s giving up the daily runs in 90°+ heat. But he did buy a Peloton for Christmas. I think he would do better to give up the whiskey and cigars.

I have a compartment IV entrapment (I think that's what it is; someone with better knowledge of medicine can describe it better for me), I can't run without feeling like I'm about to rip my heart in two (walking is fine, running is ow!), not made any better by the fact that I'm on blood pressure medication, and every couple of hours, my body decides that something's very wrong and sends pain signals just because I took a step on a flat surface!

Get the treatment you need, Toe. The community cares.
As for what ruined my day - the amount of incomplete message coming out of Canada's department of International Affairs regarding the violence in Sinaloa state in Mexico after the arrest of Ovidio Guzman, El Chapo's son. The information being reported by the Canadian media (and quite possibly American media) is that Canadians in Mexico (the whole country) should shelter in place. In reality, the shelter in place recommendation is only for the state of Sinaloa.
FWIW, Mrs JBRG and I are 100% safe sitting here in Baja California Sur. The prime repercussion is the ferries between La Paz and the mainland have been shut down until this crap is dealt with. Both ferry destinations on the mainland are in the state of Sinaloa. No ferries running means the groceries and such have to take the long way around by road (2-3 day trip) instead of a 10 (from Topolobampo) or 12 (from Mazatlan) hour ferry trip.

I’m staying at a Catholic hospital. And I had full cell phone service in the emergency room. Friday, they moved me upstairs to a private suite, which was very nice, but my cell phone service was blocked. And the only Internet I could get was through the hospital’s password-protected modem. And guess what? KB is blocked. Because we can’t let people have sexual pleasure in a Catholic hospital, unless you’re 12 years old and it involves a priest. LOL.

If I log into the VA's wifi, KB is blocked there too. I have unlimited data so I just access our site through my cell phone provider.
Watch out for Nuns with rulers tho'. I've heard that they're not slapping hands with them anymore ;D
Anyway, how are you doing?. Any idea what the problem is yet?

Bro, I know the feels. Sacred Heart blocks internet too. But lucky, old clunky had like 30gb of saved porn and erotic stories to get me through, and the wife coming in on her breaks helped too, despite me having a telemetry box around my neck, and nurses coming in to check why my heart rate was always spiking. But I don't mind the lack of internet, because when I could walk the halls, I found spots where they could not block my cellphones internet, and thus i could post and read KB.

My newsletter:
OK friends and family, I know everybody has a lot of questions, so I decided I would just put it all down in one place and send it to everyone, so I don’t have to keep repeating myself.
Why am I here? I have had a series of seizure episodes this fall. Three in all. One was the day before Thanksgiving. The second was on Christmas Eve. And the third one was Thursday. These were characterized by lightheadedness, dizziness and vertigo, loss of consciousness, and a bunch of other things including nausea, vomiting, and worse. I called 911, and was taken to Seton Ascension hospital in Austin.
Because my vitals were normal, they decided they had to do a lot of diagnostic testing. So I have had a CT scan of the brain, an MRI of the brain and the heart, an sonogram of the heart and my legs, an EKG (heart), and an EEG (brain). If that sounds like a lot, it is because it was a lot. So first the good news...
My brain looks fine, no tumors, electric signals all working correctly. My heart looks fine, good pulse, good rhythm, good blood pressure. My heart valves look good. And blood seems to be going to all parts of my body where it should be. I have been worried about my feet swelling, and an examination reveals there are no tumors in my legs. So a lot of the things that I have been worried about seem to be fine. They could not find anything physiologically wrong with my body that explains the seizures.
So why are you passing out? That is still the million dollar question. The neurologist believes that I have a mild form of epilepsy. She said that changes in physiology associated with age can cause seizure episodes. They don’t know that is what is happening to me, but given the lack of a physical explanations, it seems to be the best. So they are going to put me on an anti-seizure medication called Keppra. A low-dose for starts. And they’re going to monitor things and see how I progress. Often, just taking Keppra for 30 days will stop seizure episodes for good.
Why are you still in the hospital? Everything was going good, and I was planning to be discharged this afternoon, when I had a major hypoglycemic episode. 16 mg/Dl. Major episode. I had eight people in my room trying to revive me. So now the question is, did the pharmacy give me too much insulin? Or is the Keppra causing a hypoglycemic side effect? Until I figure out what the problem is, they’re not going to let me go home. So it looks like I’m spending another day here.
Everything is going well. I am feeling better. I am relieved to know that I don’t have a brain tumor or early heart failure. We will deal with everything else.
If you have any questions about this, let me know. I love you all. Thank you for your support and concern.
——————
So I am taking the anticonvulsant, and a new blood thinner. They updated my heart medications. And I actually feel very good. I may go to the office tomorrow.

I have to tell you all something more. I am very surprised about it. Because Bob was suggesting I get frisky with a nurse. So I decided what the hell?
Friday I had two nurses assigned to my room. Tania and Eva. Tania was a sexy Latina with a nice ass and big tits in a T-shirt. Eva was a slender brunette with pale skin and blue eyes. Definitely my type.
So I started flirting the two of them up pretty good, while they were doing all the things that nurses do: passing out pills, checking vitals, debriefing me on all the tests and what not that were going to have to be done to me.
Then Tania says, out of the blue, “We’re going to have to inspect your butt, I hope you don’t mind.”
“I thought you’d never ask, I love to have my butt inspected. Who is going to be the inspector?“
“We both are,” said Eva. “Drop your pants and put your hands on the counter.“
I couldn’t resist an instruction like that, so I slowly pulled my Gown up, and dropped my boxers with the wiggle of the butt. And I’ll be damned if both girls didn’t grab my naked ass and start inspecting it.
“I’m glad I brought two cheeks. Be sure not to miss anything. (Giggles) I have an Only Fans page you know, let me know if you want an invite. (More giggles).”
Eva said, “we have to do this to check for bedsores.“ I thought, the hell they do, I am getting felt up.
My cock responded by swelling and lengthening, and Tania said, “I see you’re enjoying this.“
“It’s the best thing that happened to me all day.“
More giggles.

Like my wife keeps reminding me... doctors are only practicing medicine.
For goodness sake. Stay home. You don't need to rush off the the daily grind right away. Being in the hospital is stressful so decompress before going to work.

I thought the hospital was going to renew all my prescriptions. Instead they just sent me home with a 30 day supply of the anti-convulsive.
They had me on the really good stuff at the hospital, and Lasix. I was really feeling good (I am a race horse by the way). I’m going to have to get my chart and see if I can’t get a doctor to write me some script.

Half of the back wall of my house has this kind of termite damage. So far the materials have cost me approx. $900. So now all I have to do is jack up a dozen floor joists, replace the ends, replace the headers, lower the joist back into place and secure them, easy peasy. :emot_censored: :emot_censored: :emot_censored:

About 6 am we decided to come home. They are both sleeping. I can't. Maybe I will get an afternoon nap in during some of Dans football games.

Dentist appointment today. I used to see a dentist in town. He retired suddenly, so I didn't get the cleaning I was scheduled for. I switched to a dentist near my work. Had to wait months to get in. Well he got put in jail right before my appointment. Found another dentist an hour away. They do laser, great! Took a while to get in. So it took almost a year and a half to get a cleaning. Apparently I developed some soft spots between 3 upper teeth. Went to get the work done and they said they couldn't do laser on them. So now my right jaw feels like I got hit with a hammer..

The long-standing rule in our office has been that we keep the same holiday hours and weather closures, as Travis County. So when I noticed today was MLK Day, and no announcement had been sent out by email, I sent a message yesterday to our office manager, confirming that we would be closed for MLK Day.
She waited until after 9 AM to send a message to everybody that the office is open today. Which left a bunch of people scrambling to get to the office from out of town. Of course, the office manager works remotely , so she just opened another beer and turned on the television. Fucker.

I can’t get used to working in the 21st-century. What ruins my day almost every day is a bunch of people who draw a full salary and work less than 50% of the time. They call themselves “remote employees“ but the truth of the matter is they are fucking around with their kids and family and shopping and a bunch of other bullshit while on the clock (I know, because I see you on Facebook). And their production is next to nothing. I’ve got people that have gone for months without producing a single dollar in firm revenue. And our absentee landlord owner, who also “works remotely,” doesn’t notice or seem to even give a shit. It’s a horrible way to run a business, if earning income is your goal.
I fucking hate Elon Musk, but if this is what he encountered at Twitter, I fully understand his meltdown.

We we're at the beach yesterday, walking along picking up shells and looking for sea life.
It was our youngest, Dan and myself. Just walking, beautiful day. I happen to look up and there is this 6'8" monster of a guy walking towards us with not a stitch of clothes un. Looking past him, I see others also in the buff, all guys. Dan noticed the new surroundings at the same time.
We turned around and started heading back to where our blanket and umbrella were. As we did, I noticed a sign about 100 feet from the waters edge, saying, "Clothes Required Past This Point"
On the opposite side of the sign read "Warning, beyond this point you may encounter nude bathers" Guess we missed that while walking down by the water with our heads down looking for shells.

She saw nothing. She was focused on shells and looking for sea glass. I swear, we have more shells. Must be 10 shoeboxes at home. Another one from the past few days.

So sorry to hear about this Bob.
Have you seen The Electrical Life of Louis Wain? I saw this the other night, and immediately thought of you. Because it is about a man who had an unusual relationship with cats. And he’s largely credited with popularizing cats as a house pet, in the late 19th Century.

Have to check the movie out. Nev will do ok. We had another cat with thyroid problems. She lived to be a ripe old age with medication for many years. Neville's check up went well and he's actually getting a reduction in his dosage.
As to our old girl in the past we we going to Walgreens for her prescription. The bottle label said she was was not to get pregnant (she was spayed) and most important she was not to drive a car or operate heavy equipment. She was clearly identified as a cat but the labels went on every bottle. :emot_laughing:

So this morning I was having coffee with Ben, and we were talking about his most recent visit to my apartment. I had told vim right away, that it doesnt mean anything. We are not going to be... "dating again", it was just us having fun and him letting off some steam. He finally came forward, and said he had hoped it would have led there, and then he was worried that maybe he took advantage of me
My reply, "i felt like I was seducing you. do you honestly think I sleep in thongs and knee socks?" I don't like knee socks, and he knows that. He likes them, and I know that...
Anyways, during coffee he said hes having lunch with here today "to sort things out". I told him if he needs help throwing her shit out, I'd help him out...
He wants to get back together with her... what the Fuck!! She must have a golden slit between those legs, because I still don't get it. She's too controlling, and I'm not blind to the fact of me trying to control his relationships right now that's besides the point... SHUT UP! She's rude as hell too, maybe it's just to me, but that's all I need to know she's a bitch!... a Bitch with a magic twat!! How in the hell can the pussy be that good!?!?!?
GRRRR! probably does kegel exercises hourly!!

On a serious note, Ben sounds a bit like he's eager to be in a serious relationship, and if it can't be with you, then apparently she'll have to do. I'm sure if you said you wanted to be more than the occasional fun fuck, he'd drop her ass in an instant. But for now, he seems to think she's better than nothing.

Speaking from experience, a young man gets to a “certain age“ where his friends are all getting married and having children, and there is this “need“ to be in a committed long-term relationship. So I started looking around for that, and unfortunately, made some really bad choices. The point of the matter is, I don’t think it is about how Ben feels about anyone. Truth is, he is probably toxic at the moment, and any relationship he creates will fail. Because he’s creating it for the wrong reasons. It is “something he is supposed to do” rather than some thing he *wants* to do with a specific person, for whom he feels unconditional love. My grandmother famously told me not to seek love, “because when you’re ready for love, it will seek you.“ Stay healthy Sheila. Love yourself. You don’t deserve that crap.

I must complain that CBS refused access to the AFC division championship last night, unless you had a cable television subscription. You could watch the game on your phone using the NFL app, but you could not cast it onto the television. I have the CBS app, CBS Sports app, ESPN, NFL, and a few others. And CBS is the only provider that refuses general access to NFL games. It wants you to buy a Paramount subscription. Which is ridiculously expensive. You can get it on Fubu for about 60 bucks a month. Nobody’s got time for that. Jesus Christ, these oligarchs make billions of dollars off us . I don’t understand why they can’t let us watch their game on the television.

I have a digital antenna for when I don't want to bother with searching Netflix or prime, and I saw parts to both games. Dad was super happy to see San Fran lose.
As far as Ben goes. I have no doubt he's trying to rush a relationship, I just think he should do a little more searching. Find somebody better than her. I know him. I know how sweet he is, how family oriented he is, how funny he is, how big his dick is, and I know he deserves better. He's in his late 20's, and I think the closer he gets to 30, the more worried he gets he'll be alone. He's got a good job, good home, and has a lot to give to the right woman, just not her. She is far too immature, too impatient, too rude, too controling... if my sister or any of my cousins... except lyndsey, were single, I wouldn't hesitate to introduce them. I'm going to keep being his friend, and have the occasion coffee with him.
If she keeps playing these games and "break up" with him, I have no problem fucking her "ex" even if they do get back together.

But things have slowly snowballed to the point that we are getting very little done, because no one is working. One worker had a nervous break down and just stopped coming to work. Another one had a baby, and claims to be remote working, but I see no evidence that she’s actually doing anything. A third employee lost her ex-husband (she shared custody of a child) and then her father had a massive stroke.
So all of this is affecting the bottom line. And I am cracking the whip, trying to keep the ship afloat. But now it seems that there is a backlash in progress against me personally. And it doesn’t have anything to do with my job performance (top producer three months in a row), it’s comments about my “bedside manner“ or “courtesy and professionalism.“ Because apparently, you can’t point out someone is taking a paycheck and doing nothing, without being some kind of massive ass hat in the 21st-century. I swear to fucking God it’s getting so crazy.
So I actually talked to a recruiter today. They are looking for a new job for me. There may not be a job in the 21st-century that I’m qualified to do, because apparently employment today consists solely of sucking cock and phoning it in long distance.

I wish you well Toe. Sadly today's world is made up of slackers. There's no desire to do well or take pride in a job well done.
I was a sales person at a small radio station. The more I sold, the harder the on air people had to work instead of just playing music. So I got the blame for making them work so much. :facepalm:
Never mind that the revenue I was producing paid their salaries :roll:
Also, where ever you go, there you are. :D

As somebody with a permanent incurable medical condition, I feel severely guilty when I cant pull my weight around my work. Granted majority of my work is sitting outside in a playground watching dogs have fun and giving belly rubs, but I do have many responsibilities outside of the fun times.
FMLA is a key. If these people have problems they should be able to get this paperwork filled out and approved if it isnt approved, then they are just slacking and under performing.
I wish you well love and whatever happens is in your best interest.
Love you daddy! :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss:

You've mentioned this to me a couple of times this past month about coworkers not pulling their own weight. I think your decision to look elsewhere for employment is a smart decision. It's grinding on you and affecting you personally. There is a better place for you. Any firm would be lucky to have you. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out to me.
It is affecting me, because I don’t have much of a family or a social life at the moment. And I do enjoy work.
After doing this 37+ years, I actually care about my clients, and I take pride and doing a good job for them.
So when I see a bunch of idiots who not only don’t give a shit about the client, but also have no pride and their own reputation or work product, it just sort of goes against everything I was taught was important as a young lawyer.
And I think that’s the real problem I see in the legal profession now is a lot of young people who have not been mentored , and have no sense of professionalism.

Isnt that a hygiene thing? Guys have told me and I've seen the "for the boys" videos on youtube, that the morning after sex, there can be multiple streams... man needs to wash his junk... Also, why'd he have a boner?
A boner when waking up is normal. It's called morning wood. He wakes up early, ready to fuck the day away. If I was as ready as my dick is in the morning, I wouldn't need 24 ounces of coffee before my first meeting.

Frequent or persistent split urine stream is usually an indication of an underlying problem in the urethra or in the bladder. Common causes of persistent split urine stream are meatal stenosis, urethral stricture, and an enlarged prostate.

Dimensional lumber at Home Depot ruined my day. I'm finishing my office space and tried to do some soffit framing. The 2x2x8's were wavier than wet spaghetti, and not a single one of my frames match. I got so frustrated with that shitty wood that I said the hell with the ceiling and am going to paint it for an "industrial" look. Which, of course means getting a paint sprayer.
Lesson learned. Go to a local lumber yard instead of Home Depot or Lowes for lumber. I have to frame out some stepwalls as part of this project, so that's where I'm going for the 2x4's I'll need.

Sad to say that it is not only the legal profession where the young have no sense of professionalism.
We grew up in an age where there was a sense of community, loyalty, and honor. We behaved in our friends’ houses, because our parents all knew each other, and acted in loco parentis for the other. We participated in community and religious organizations. We had only three or four television networks, and we all watched the same shows and news programming. And we agreed to politely disagree over political and social matters, if necessary. We didn’t paint each other out to be the devil, and for the most part, we valued the right to vote enough to actually stand in line and exercise it.
Today, there is no cohesiveness, no loyalty, and for the most part little honesty. People change jobs the way we used to change underwear. And everything is based on a 15 second attention span. We really don’t know how to have in-depth conversations about anything any longer.
I know I sound like a grumpy old man, but it’s really just a strange new world.

SMILF, haha, took me a minute. My brain is foggy this morning.
To be clear, M was a legal adult when we first met. His youngest was 15. Though I didn't get along great with the younger one, we still respected each other. And over time we grew to truly enjoy each other's company. M and I have been like besties since the moment we first met. They don't call me 'mom', they call me by a shortened version of my real name. (For those that know my real name, take off the last two letters)
I didn't do much parenting. Dan and their mother did an excellent job of raising two very bright, very smart, strong women. Their mom perhaps should get most of the credit. And now raising one of my own that has just entered her teens, I realize how hard of a job it must have been on her. M even admits that she and her sister put their mother through hell.
So technically I am "the step mother ", but I lucked out and gained friends instead of step children.

Turns out that living with an underemployed semi-professional video gamer with no educational or career plans is not the heaven on earth she imagined it would be. I guess that big back hand of his only got him so far. 42 years old and still trying to decide what he wants to be when he grows up.

Do you administer your own insulin? Or do you have a pump? My problem is I usually overestimate how much insulin I need, and then I get a hypoglycemic dip. Just be careful. I’ve woken up a few mornings knowing that my sugars were down around 60, and literally could not find the energy to get out of the bed and eat some carbs. Keep something on the nightstand. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

There's been a lot of fooling around withy pain meds tho'. That's where I'm going to have my medical team look into.

Decided the kitty needed a full cleaning of his litter box. Such is the lot of a cat servant. It involves taking out the old litter and removing the old liner, not just scooping it out, which is done daily.
I knew it would be hard but didn't realize how much my body has lost in strength even with the exercises I got in physical therapy.
Step one of my plan, remove as much of the old litter before taking out the liner. As getting on my knees as I did a few months ago is now out, I squatted down and started scooping. Getting as much out as I could, I went to straighten up. Legs said F**k you. My legs wouldn't come back up. The harder I tried the worse things got and slowly I started sinking to the floor. Realizing down was the only direction on the menu I just did my best not to go down to hard.
Managed a soft landing on my knees. I was helped by a low wall by the basement stairs, about 4 feet high. Wife wanted to know how she could help. As she's in worse shape I didn't know how she could do anything. I just stayed there on my knees clinging to the low wall totally discouraged.
After a short rest I decided to attempt to get one leg back under me. I started sliding my left leg forward and used my shoulders all I could. Like a slo-motion instant replay I came up until one leg was back under me. I kept a death grip on the wall knowing I only had enough energy for one attempt and then got the other leg under me.
I had to inch along the wall and wife pushed the chair as close as she could until I could sit down. It left me not knowing what to do. Wife brought my cane after a rest and I made it to my chair in the living room. It was time now for my pain pills which wife fetched. She also made me lunch, so I guess there were ways she could help.
So now Neville was without a litter box until I could figure out how to do this with a bad leg. Ah-ha, I could slip a trash bag over the litter box as a temporary fix until I got some strength back in my leg. So after lunch that's what we did, with me sitting on a chair. Meanwhile, out comes Neville only to find his kitty potty wasn't available. However looking around he spotted a small pile of litter we'd swept up but hadn't picked up. He squatted, did his business and walked off. His good aim and having clumping litter made the last bit of litter easier to pickup. :D

Thanks Shiela. Yeah we certainly have had our share of challenges. But we always seem to get through them.
There's a sense of accomplishment when we make it out the other side a things seem to work out.
Take the kitty litter challenge. Neville now has a clean liner and all fresh kitty litter. I'm sure he'll be showing his appreciation any time now. Neville... Neville um kitty are you there. ( sigh.). Well that's a cat for you. Maybe when he wakes up. :facepalm:

Mixed bag today. I’ve been helping my son with a DUI charge. Tuesday at 4:30 in the afternoon, I get a mass email from the court that there will be no zoom hearings today, and everyone is expected to show up in court this morning at 9 AM. So I got up at four in the morning, drove to San Antonio, and had a day full of bullshit. First time at a mass docket call since 2018. I actually negotiated an incredible deal for him. But I was so tired, I could barely put 1 foot in front of the other. I got two hours sleep last night, and drove over 300 miles today. So here it is now, 10 PM, I haven’t had anything to eat today, and just about everything in my one horse town is already closed for the evening. We have a 24 hour Whataburger. But that sounds about as appealing as an enema.

So, over the past 6 months I've been having a little medical issue. It started with me falling down the steps of my garage and hurting my self. Led to some bones and osteoporosis questions, which led to other things.
Hopefully the operation I had mid FEBRUARY resolves all. A month of healing ahead of me still.

This started the day before Thanksgiving. And I’ve had about one seizure per month since then. So far, I usually get some warning signals and I can find myself a safe place to sit down. This time it just hit me and knocked me to the floor immediately. Bruises, cuts, broken toe… No warning. I’m on an anticonvulsant called Keppra. But it’s really problematic for my profession and living alone lifestyle to have this problem. I appreciate everybody’s thoughts and prayers. You mean the world to me.

Ouch not good that you have seizures and living alone, not good combo at all, I hope you can somehow get your meds adjusted or that things get better. Please take care. My mother got seizures after her stroke, though she had me there to take care of her. I also have some very brief/mild seizure like things going on, I never fall down from them, but I have lost time and once I was on my way down stairs and returned to awareness mid step, whole body trembling and glazed in sweat and foot that I was somehow balancing on in a stupid position to stop moving in hurting a lot, no clue how long I stood there like a statue in the stairs... Anyway I hope you avoid any further falls and such, and maybe see about getting yourself one of those button to call help things, in case you fall and hurt yourself too much to get up on your own.

Did what for me was a major shopping trip yesterday. By major I'm I went to two stores. :facepalm:
Went first to a supermarket for groceries. Got what we needed there to restock the cupboards and fridge.
Next moved on to Sam's Club to stock up on household items etc. As you can imagine lots of walking at both places. By the time I got done at Sam's I was too tired to load the car. So, being lunch time I hit their little snack bar and grabbed a slice of pizza. :D
Got home and now time to unload everything. A lot could stay in the garage until we need it. Groceries all fit my n a cart I have. Wife came out on the back porch and I handed the bags up to her and she put them in the house. After a rest we put most everything away.
Today I'm totally wiped. We're going to have to find a way to do something different. I experimented with using a delivery service a couple weeks ago and they screwed up the order. It was a well known service too. Need to find out what other people do. Afraid my days of shopping are coming to an end.

Bob, use curbside delivery. They will gather the items you order online, bag them for you, and put them in your car. It is usually free or a small service fee. My grocer prohibits tipping.
You still have to get those groceries in the house, but a hell of a lot easier.
If that is too much, Uber will deliver groceries. More expensive than the first option, but they will carry your stuff to the front door and put it inside on the floor.
Be careful.

Good advice both of you. The thing I'd miss about doing my own shopping is all those yummy treats that just happen to "jump" off the shelf into my cart as I pass by.
My big mistake was going to two places the same day. One I probably could handle. But things keep getting a little worse.
I have hopes of some help from the new pain clinic the VA has referred me to. I go in April 8th for an injection in my spine. They have several treatments lined up for me. We'll see how the first one goes.

It's one of those things revealed in the print that's too small to read even on a 50" TV screen. Pretty sure all carriers reserve the right to slow you down after a certain amount. Or if the network is too busy. Or if they're in a bad mood. Don't you just love fine print?

Been crazy busy last couple days but finally slowing down at work and home life.
I think curbside is the best thing out there for grocery shopping. You can still pick out all those snacks that jump into your cart, you just do it through a screen. As for getting it in the house, since you didnt tire yourself out in the store, you'll have it much easier putting stuff away.
I don't trust delivery services, I hardly ever order delivery, I'll go pick it up.

So, I lost my hotspot data sharing. I can’t link my iPad or computer to my iPhone to get on internet. But, my iPhone still can get on with no issue. I just hate browsing online with iPhone.
Kinda good news is, my Kindle is with me, but I’ve read everything on it. Need internet to load more. . Where The Crawdads Sing is my current read. I read it a long time ago. Rereading after seeing the movie last summer.

Apple has it. ATT shut it down after 15GB of hotspot sharing. Didn't think they would be able to tell, but they must. My eyes aren't good enough for this phone. #OldAgeSucks
So, I'll be very limited for the next 7 days when my new plan period starts.

Too bad you can't get on some wifi in a cafe or something. Or have wired internet at home with a wifi router to use to connect to the internet via. However if you use not your own wifi, you really should try to use https version of the site, as otherwise someone can steal your login information very easily.

Had my cat Neville to the Vet s couple days ago. Not good news as expected. He hasn't been eating and not himself so I took him in right away.
Afraid it's kidney failure. Nothing that can be done. Just a matter of time. Gave us some medicine for nausea, something to stimulate his appetite (rub it on his ear). He's perking up eating and drinking water. Making demands as only a cat can.
He's been with me for over 16 years and he's like my shadow around the house. With my own health problems one of my worries was going before him. I know he'd be lost without me. Now it looks like he may go before me.
I'll just make him as comfortable as I can until it's his time not to suffer any more. He's the last pet we'll have as at our age any pet we'd get would outlive us.

I am so sorry, losing a beloved pet is very hard, and you probably can't afford to try the stem cell treatment that Tim Pool used on his cat, besides that cat is younger I think, not sure if it would work as well on an older cat...

And nobody is here on KB right now, just me and anandpatel who has been a member for 10 years and hasn't said Hello to me yet. Don't be shy Anandpatel, I don't bite.. So, I'm logging off and going to have Dan build a campfire. When I come back in the RV, I expect this place to be rocking with people. Music bumpin. 10 PM people! Party starts in 40 minutes.

We've had five cats in our over 30 years together. They're all still part of us. I know I'll be seeing Nev going around the corner ahead of me for several weeks. His spirit will stay with me until he knows I'm ok. That's how it's been with all the others.
Have had friends and family reaching out already. Of course I know I can count on my KB family. At our age and with health problems we won't be getting another pet. Think that's making it harder.

Thanks Obi. Today we started removing some of his things. His bed, litter box, food and water bowls. We're regaining floor space. Didn't realize how much space a small cat could take up. He was an expert at claiming space. :D
It some ways it seems like we're removing memories of him. Other times it's like removing hurtful reminders of our loss. We've lost four other cats over the 30+ years we've been together. Somehow this feels more painful. But life goes on and I realize grieving is a process.

Client skipped an appointment yesterday. Did not do one thing I asked him to do. Then he sent me an after hours email, requesting a meeting at 8 AM. I never go to the office before 9 AM. And I never schedule client appointments before 10 AM. There’s a good reason for that. People don’t keep those early morning appointments. So I’m going to the office at the crack of dawn. And I guarantee-damn-tee you, he will not keep this appointment. Unfortunately, he has a deposition this afternoon, that he will be totally unprepared to do well giving. What I do for a living.

A morning trip to ER for me. Woke to my eyes all swollen and red. Couldn’t really open them. Just so sensitive to the light that they hurt to bad. Head hurt so bad felt like my brain was going to explode. So spent an hour at the hospital then told to go see the eye doctor. Appointment was all set up already. More drops and bright lights shined into my eyes. All good in the long run. I do have an eye issue that I’ve known for years but it’s actually not as bad as I thought. But a few weeks of treating this then go back to discuss cataract surgery.

This is more like what ruined my year...
I told you all before the downtime that my parents supposedly went on vacation. It was a lie to cover up my mom's failing health. For the last month and a half she was in the hospital, and then a couple of weeks ago was transferred to Hospice care in the hospital. She passed away at 9 am yesterday, and I have been devastated ever since. I tell you all this not for a pity party or sob stories, but because I genuinely trust and care about you all enough to share.
and then to top it all off, I called my boss cause I needed a day or two to collect my thoughts and grieve, but this morning a cps social worker brings over my cousin's kid, since no one in the family wants to take her in. She is 12, and pretty much a latch key kid, and now her parents are going to jail and I have to redo my plans for the future.
I understand why my parents lied to cover it up, I would not want my kids to see me weakened like that, but still its my mom and I will truly miss her. Thats what ruined my days. Thank you for reading.

We already took in a kid, Mimi (not her real name.) since her parents will be working out of the country for the foreseeable future. I did my time as a parent, but I don't mind, shes a good kid, just didn't have many people in her corner who had her back.
My mom would have taken her in, no questions asked. Thats one of her best qualities. I deeply appreciate your sympathies, she would have loved reading about your life you post. Not much one for erotica, but still I loved her fascination with things that she did not know about pretty cool.

I have scleritis. Not sure what brings it on but no, the cataract surgery will not fix it. What I found out today id that I have EPI-scleritis which means it’s on the outer of my eye, not deep. That’s a good thing. No eye damage from diabetes, cataracts or this. But also seems to be no cure either. My eyes get all bloodshot and swollen. Can’t see real well and sensitive to lights. Just slept for 4 hours and woke up feeling better. Eyes are red again but head stopped hurting

WB, we were worried about your absence. I'm so so sorry to hear about your mother. It's so hard. I recently lost my father and I still think of him every day. Each day gets a little bit better.

A friend Allan knew while in the Marines had committed suicide. Allan said he had been struggling for a long time, and ended his own life last month. This is why Allan's been gone for so long. The guy left behind a wife and two adult daughters that Allan went to be with. He stayed helping them get things in order through the VA and setting up the funeral.
He came back home for a bit, and that is when we had are little fight. I had no idea why he was being the way he was, or why he didn't just tell me right away. Thought he was just being an ass with his comments that my dads issue was no big deal, or it could have been worse. Me being me, went off on him, but I had no idea he was going through what he was. I feel so bad, but I also don't, because I didn't know.
We talked on friday, both got to decompress from our own situations. We spent much more time on him since my dad is doing great other than complaints about his new diet. It was a long couple weeks for him, and his friends family.
You guys keep so much in and so much bottled up because you feel you cant talk about it because so many people have told you not too. Well I just want to say, it's ok to talk, it is ok to open up, and it is ok to ask for help.

Everyone has their own little private Idaho. We all deal with our peculiar set of hurts, frustrations, and disappointments. Unfortunately, for many, we don’t have a healthy way of releasing that, and end up beating up on the very people who love us the most.
My dear Sasha is one of those, and when she acts out, she ACTS OUT. I told her I know she loves me, and she is pushing me away because she is fearful that I will leave her and it will cause her even more pain and anxiety in her life. It’s sort of like a preemptive strike. Unfortunately, she is so vociferous in these moments, that I question my ability to separate her from her comments. Which are *truly* horrible.
So I hope you two work it out. I know all the things you say about the non-exclusive nature of the relationship, not wanting anything serious, and not being in love, but actions speak louder than words. And I see a lot of actions. You both deserve to be happy. It would be nice if you find a way to be happy with each other.

I always thought the "real men don't talk about feelings" thing is bullshit. It doesn't lead to anything productive, and you could also make the argument that allowing yourself to be vulnerable by talking about your feelings is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Its horrible you have to go through that Love. I am of the same mind that I have to keep Allan and past relationships at arms strength to protect my own heart. It is a selfish act, but I dont go so far as to attack the other person, except for once. I was young, dumb, and scared, and he wouldn't let go, so I cheated on him, and let him find out. I will never forget that look on his face. My single greatest regret.
I can sit and keep lying to myself about how I feel about Allan, and what we've got going on, but I know what I'm feeling. I also know I'm not getting any younger, and it's only a matter of time before things start going south for me physically with my MS. I don't want to be a burden, and I don't think I could survive another disastrous relationship.

First off, good to see you CT. Woo.
Second, Shiela, this “I’m not getting any younger… I would’ve want to be a burden” stuff is total BS. You may get hit by a bus tomorrow. You may live to be 100. You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife. And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"
Loving someone means giving them permission to hurt you. Because we always keep our guard up with others, at least I do.
There’s no sense in treading water, waiting to see if things change or get better. I wasted 15 years of my life in a relationship like that. I would love to have that time back. Don’t make the same mistake.

That was after one of my arguments with Allan, and I was stressing over everything. Mix that with some tequila, and I was hating on myself pretty bad. It happens from time to time.
As for the other thing. I'm never gonna stop worrying about when or if I may lose the use of my legs, or be able to walk faster than a crawl. I already use a cane sometimes, and my jogging is getting slower and shorter. My feet drag a lot more than they did when I first joined KB. age is a factor of that, and I find 8t difficult dealing with the realization that I may need to rely on somebody to do the simplest things. So 8n my head when I have all this anxiety and depressive thoughts, I think "what guy wants to be burdened with that?" There are guys out there that are up for the challenge, but is the man I'm with one of them? Does he think he is until it becomes too much, and he has a change of heart. These are deep seeded fears I've had for as long as I can remember. Being made like I'm not good enough by my own bitch of a mother, and then fear of another bad choice in a man...
I can't just switch it off, and swallowing my fears and diving it head first hoping things turn out is easier said than done. As long as I dont get hit by a bus, I have an pretty solid picture of my future.

But there is nothing you can not overcome. You just keep doing what you're doing to stay healthy. Stay active. Eat healthy. Love with all your heart. Life has been throwing hurdles in my path for as far back as I can remember. I've been knocked down pretty f'n hard, but I got back up, even if it took a couple of years. Never ever give up. Fight back. You have just one life. Always fight for your best life.
Don't waste time worrying. Live the now

Sadly I’m on one of the weekly shots. Not the ones they have on tv but one of the ones they keep giving for weight lose. That’s the one that has really helped me. I know I can get the insulin at Walmart. I had to do that once already. The weekly helped lower all my numbers and get me almost off daily insulin shots

Wife's eyesight is getting worse. For years she has taken 😘 of the banking and finances.
Today she asked me what was due on the city sewer, water and trash collection bill. Usually a little over $100. At first glance I saw $800 and something. WHAT!
At a second glance I realized it was a credit. Now it's.WTF. A call to the city and we were told we'd made a payment of over $1000 a couple months ago. Guess wife hot an extra zero or something when she sent it the information to the bank to pay the bill. No way to get.a refund so our city utilities are covered for six or seven months. :facepalm:
I hate doing the bills, can't even remember my password for the bank accounts. Guess that's going to have to change

My landlord did an inspection on our property back on March 11. So she waits until March 31, at 10:00 PM, to send over a four page letter with a list of demands including additional security deposits, moving people out, signing a new lease, and raising the rent $300. And I am just what the fuck. I’ve known this woman for a decade. I consider her a surrogate daughter. And this letter was obviously written by a lawyer and it was offensive. So now I’ve got a clean out a whole house I’ve occupied for 5 years, in less than 30 days time. But we’ll get it done. What a cunt.
What really happened? She recently lost her job after having two children about 12 months apart. So she wants to be a stay-at-home mom. And that’s fine. She could’ve talked to me about it, and I wasn’t going to give her shit. But now, I’m not going do her any favors, including paying rent for April.

Memory eternal. Sending hugs. Your dad had an odd sense of humor. I will be more likely to pass on Christmas or Easter, you know, so I can fuck up the holidays for everybody, forever.
My April Fools story is closing on an 80 year old house I called “the money pit”. 1988. My first ex loved it. I hated it, and it just wrecked us, our finances, and our relationship. I am always reminded of that on April 1.

Visited my friend who's been in the VA since October 1st. Think he's trying to set a new record. His wife called while I was there and they exchanged a few words and he hung up. Said she was at some kind of medical thing.
I didn't feel good about the call, some sixth sense. Tried calling her later last night, no answer. Tried again this morning and after hellos, first thing she told us was she's in the hospital again... congestive heart problems.
We watched her go down hill since hubby went to the hospital. In there every day and running errands while taking care of the house and dog.
Heart flared up and she ended up needing a pacemaker. Now her blood pressure has skyrocketed and there's fluid around her heart and lungs. That's put her back in the hospital again.
Don't know how hard I should push my friend about what he's doing to his wife. He's suffering early stages of dementia which has slowed down his getting out of the VA. Seeing two good friends having.so many medical problems is hard. I want to do more, yety physical shape isn't so hot either. :facepalm:

She could’ve talked to me about it, and I wasn’t going to give her shit. But now, I’m not going do her any favors, including paying rent for April.
Update: I haven’t paid rent for April. When the landlord freaked out on me I told her “I’ll continue to go month-to-month with you until you find somebody to rent the place, just give me 30 days notice and we will be out.” She won’t do that. So let’s review. I offered to pay her April rent. And to continue to pay rent on a monthly basis until she finds somebody to move in. Which won’t be easy, the rental market and housing market in my area is totally fucked at the moment.
So I guess she won’t be getting April rent. And we will still be moving out at the end of the month. And she’ll have a nice house to sit empty until she does all the repairs she has neglected to do for five years. Assuming she can find a tenant willing to pay her elevated pie in the sky rent demands.

I'm fine this morning. I told M about it, because she was with me when I encountered him. After I laid down after the post above, she came and laid down with me. Dan came in to go to bed to find us both asleep. hahaha. He asked what was up. "Girl talk and we fell asleep."

You're right Toe, insurance companies can be heartless especially when it comes to medical expenses. It's bad enough that health care providers are changing such outrageous fees. Then to turn around and have an insurance company short change you.
Still standing by for your almost ex must also be frustrating. I know she's brought on a lot of her problems herself. I'm glad to hear you're doing what you can for her. Deserved or not, she's another human on this planet we're all spinning around on.

My friend who broke his hip October 1st. is now out of the VA after six and a half months. He just made no progress with his rehab. That was complicated by him re-breaking the hip twice more while in the VA.
He's in the early stages of dementia also. Just another problem on top of everything else.
His attitude was bad from the start. For some reason he's always been critical of the VAs care, while I've found the opposite.
Well yesterday he was moved to a rehab/nursing home. I had an email from his wife last night. She described the place as a dump. Most of the employees speak little or no English. He called home frantic because no one responded when he tried to get someone to help him to the bathroom. Wife called the main desk to demand help for his.
I would guess he's missing the wonderful care at the VA. I'm heartbroken. I fear he's not going to make it with the shape he's in.

UGH, it's like starting over. Just make the new owner think you've been a regular for a while. Even give a little critique if he doesn't, "If I don't start seeing some better bottles, I'll just do all my shopping at Picolo's."
When the Buscemi's by us changed ownership, I made it clear to the new owner that I would be a regular but I would need a special bottle from time to time at a reasonable price, or I'd shop elsewhere. It went good for a while, then he got greedy saying he had saved a Blanton's for me, then asked for $105. When he said the price, I acted appalled. I told Dan to tell him I wouldn't be back. And I haven't been.

I told you all about what my young landlord recently did, which is now requiring me to move out of a house I’ve spent the last 5 years in. And there is so much that needs to be sorted and disposed of.
What’s ruining my day is this little bitch’s inability to stay the fuck away from the property. She is there every fucking day, trying to paint, wallpaper, have new flooring put in. Repairing utilities. Basically all the shit that she *refused* to do for five years. She’s now going to do it for someone else. And it pisses the fuck out of me.
The other problem is I can’t stand stress and anxiety, as those are trigger events for my epilepsy. So I don’t want to be there when she is. And she doesn’t seem to understand that if she’s going to hang out there all weekend, and never even bother to obtain an order of eviction, or right of possession, I’m just going to be there longer than I planned to be. Because I’m not going to move with her standing over my 60+ year old ass.

I get it's her property, but it's still your residence, your home. Can't you claim some kind of right of privacy thing, and she can't just walk in and do what she wants without your permission. My landlord cant just walk into my apartment without my permission even if it's to do some kind of work. He had to replace the garbage disposal a few years ago, and I opened the door and stood aside, but he didnt step inside until I verbally welcomed him in.
I'd tell her you need stay away until things are done.

So, one of our new neighbours is a lonely lady who doesn't understand personal boundaries. She wants to go back to the states for a day or two. She asked shortly after we moved in if we could give her a ride to the airport. Our reply was let us know when you need to be there. Next think you know, it's the day before her "flight" and she's asking again and again I simply tell her to let me know when she needs to go to the airport. Flight day and she has not told us when she wants to go. But, it turns out she hasn't even booked a flight. So, my morning is free. The day after her flight, her vehicle is not in the parking lot. Turns out she went out and had a bit too much to drink so she took an Uber home. Could I giver her a ride to where her vehicle is. Sure, where is ti? She tells me she has the location on the app. We were having a minor disaster in our home (something we could handle without the landlady), so I told here that once I had finished what I was doing, had some breakfast and coffee, I would be happy to give her a lift. Later, she was on her way to the store and I asked aging where her vehicle was. She showed me the app and her vehicle was 8 blocks away (a 15 minute walk). I told her how to get there. That was yesterday. Her vehicle is still not back in the parking lot.
On top of that, she has invited herself to sit on our patio with us and just basically been in our faces. I'm certain she sits looking out her window when my wife leaves to take the dogs out and insists on joining her when my wife just wants to have some quiet time. We have both had the respect our boundaries talk with her. I think yesterday and today, she might actually have gotten the message.
I'm willing to be neighbourly but ... We want to enjoy our home in peace. We are willing to occasionally have coffee with her and to help out with something (ride to airport, etc). But we really need our space.

I’m taking a week off from work and going to get all the stuff hauled off or put on the curb. This is the last week I have to deal with her. Yeah.
If you own too much stuff, it starts owning you. I’m going to be very happy to cull the pile.

I have just concluded my first 5 days of downsizing. I have given away at least $50,000+ worth of furniture, electronics, and art. I’m trying to downsize the kitchen now. I thought I could get it to a usable amount, but I still have at least 15 boxes of stuff that I really don’t need. It is old School photographs and awards. And I just can’t bring myself to throw it in the trashcan. So I’m probably going to rent a small storage unit near my apartment, and load it up for the short term. Maybe I’ll just take one box at a time and made digital copies. That way my kids can have the stuff, and I don’t have to curate a museum nobody wants to visit.

Digitizing paper is one of the greatest benefits of the computer age. I've scanned 40 years worth of family photographs. I have PDF files of tax returns dating back to the seventies.
One word of advice. Always--ALWAYS--keep at least two copies of your digital file cabinet. Three copies would be better, and if one of them is off site, that makes it even more likely you will never lose your records.
If you only have one copy you WILL lose it sooner or later, most likely to hardware failure.

Wife and sons went to mother in laws house. So I stayed home and ordered a pizza. Stopped and picked up mix for bourbon sours. Figured I’d eat and have a drink waiting for it to get a little darker. Stopped raining after like 10 days. So I went out around 8:15 and got a fire going. Have the speaker going. Not 15 min later everyone pulls up. That parts good. We got all the visions out and I got the fire going bigger. Then the boys and their girlfriends said they are taking off to a friends. I have no idea why but my wife is now mad at me because I want to sit out here with the fire till it rains.

Not knowing what you need or how far you are away from the Mexican border but Some things are waaaaay less expensive here than they are in the US or Canada. 120 850mg tablets of metformin cost me $100 (about $7.00 Cdn) pesos yesterday. 90 10mg Crestor (generic) cost me $264 pesos. I bought some brand name Crestor last year and it cost me $1000 pesos. One of the nice things about Mexican pharmacies is that for most stuff, you don't actually need a prescription. There are some things but I'm not aware of exactly what they are other than narcotics. I love being able to walk in, tell them what I need and walk out - no questions asked.

Wife had her regular eye appointment today. She's been contending with macular degeneration for some time. Her vision is quite limited. Her doctor gave her a letter stating she's legally blind
She still retain limited vision but watching TV is hard. I have to describe a lot of what is going on. Worse, she is barely able to sew. That was her passion for years. She's created hundreds of doll clothes for kids in the neighborhood.
There is a small up side. We can get a bit extra on our property tex rebate and a state ID card is only fifty cents. She also gets more help from a therapist learning to cope with limited vision.

I am taking an anticonvulsant called Levetiracetam (Keppra). Unfortunately it has some side effects (for me) including:
If anyone has a different medication they have had good results with, I would love to hear about it. I’m going to have to see my doctor about changing the dosage amounts or the drug. I am literally staggering around the office most days.

I am not a doctor (I don't even play one on TV) but I have a family member who took dilantin for many years with good results.
A few years ago they were switched from dilantin to Keppra, and now have all the side effects on your list.
I'm not sure why the switch was made but it bears looking into. If I learn of any other option I will let you know.

I reduced my dosage from 2000 mg a day to 1500 mg a day. I’ve seen a definite improvement in my side effects, but I am not convinced that this is the best medication for me. The problem is, I don’t have health insurance, and neurologists are extremely expensive. My last diagnostic work was in January, and I bet they’re going to want to do a lot of extra expensive screening. So I’ll probably just do the best I can with what I have.

We had an incident Sunday that's caused both of us somewhat of an upset.
We have a friend who stops over every Sunday. As a treat he usually brings a couple donuts. He makes himself at home, walking in the door, going to the cupboard and getting a cup for coffee.
Sunday he walked in as usual, headed straight to the kitchen. When he came back he offered a bag with one donut in it and handed it to the wife. He said something about no donut for me. Wife and I are confused and she started to break hers in half to share.
Now so called friend says no, no donut for Bob...he doesn't get any. Now wife and I are speechless as he walks out the door saying something about he was in therapy. He mentioned a couple things I said but I'm not sure exactly what he meant.
And he was off. All we could do was stare at each other and eat our half of the donut. Felt like texting him and saying HA! I got some donut. No, I didn't.
Later he sent a short apology text. I let it sit. Wife and I talked last night and agreed to wait until today before answering. We agreed his actions were premeditated. Why else did he show up with one donut if not to to provoke a confrontation. Gads... the great donut war.
Sounds so silly but that's the level he plays at when he's upset. Wife and I saw him as trying to drive a wedge between us. Worse, he's wife's oldest friend. Has known him longer than me.
My reaction is not to let him in the house again. Wife is meeting with him later this week. I don't know how she'll stand up to his antics. He called this afternoon and talked to the wife. He was all weepy and saying he was sorry. Didn't know what came over him. blah blah.
I answered his text with, that I got his apology.
This has put my wife in the middle. Long time friend/husband. He has a problem with standing up for himself. People say something to him whether meant in a mean way or just misunderstood. So he stuffes it then blow months later. Guess we got the latest eruption.
I did write a long answer to his text. Wife and I went over it, couldn't decide what to leave in or take out. So best course was to delete the whole thing. Writing it out helped release a lot of stress.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: Pornhubby on May 09, 2023, 04:37:55 AM
My experience with these sort of situations is that it usually has 0% to do with anything you have done, and 100% to do with something that you don’t even know about. So seriously, fuck him. If you don’t want his drama in the house, just don’t answer the door next Sunday. Or better yet, get up early, buy a couple of dozen donuts to enjoy, and decline anything he offers, because “we really couldn’t possibly eat another donut right now. Would you like one of ours?”
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: msslave on May 09, 2023, 05:50:15 AM
So true...I've always been standoffish towards, which my explain why he blew up at. He's held any slights he's felt from me deep inside. I guess something from starting therapy triggered his build up resentments. Then boom!!!
I've already told the wife I don't want him back in the house. Sadly he one of her closest friends. Don't know what's going to happen there. She stuck between us. I would think she's choose me her husband. However she's the most forgiving person I know. How do you think my 4th marriage has lasted this long.

Post by: Shiela_M on May 09, 2023, 03:06:27 PM
These are horrible situations and I agree with PH, that it's all about how this guy persevered what was said. I feel for your wife, that she's in the middle like this. Some people think they have the right to change everything simply because of how they feel. If you said something truthful, then he shouldn't try to change the facts, he needs to change his feelings.
Therapy can do some strange things to how you think about certain people and situations, and without letting it develop one could act or react prematurely. Hell talk about this in his next session, and if the therapist is worth a damn, he/she should point out why this isnt the best solution, especially if he and your wife are such good friends.

You might want to start expecting disappointment. I'm feeling quite conflicted right now about posting anything like I have in the past. Before when I maintained my "I'm single, just having fun" feelings, posting a nude was just a fun thing to do, but now I feel like I shouldnt without letting him know about it, but I'm not sure how he'll feel about me being a member here. Then I feel guilty about being here...
Secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt someone.
I try to look at it like, if he was watching porn would it bother me? No. If he was on a site like KB would it bother me? Not really, but there's that, is he meeting yo with these people? He if was sharing nudes with women would it bother me? Yeah, it kind of would. So I dont feel right posting anything new. The old stuff can stay because that was before commitment, and I'm sure it has been spread to other sites anyways.
I also feel guilty for not doing something risque here like I've done, because you all let me know how much you enjoy it, and I'm a people pleaser. I've had a few people send me PMs wondering and suggesting what I could do, from lingerie, which I never bought any new stuff, to a video of me in the shower with my shower buddy.
I'm sorry, this is getting a little overdramatic and ridiculous. So 5000 may come and go with a fizzle and not a Bang! I just need to talk with Allan about certain things if we keep going.

While I joked along with Jules about the approach of #5000, I applaud your decision to start going in a new direction.
It shows a new level of maturity as you and Allen are entering a new phase of your relationship. Yes, secrets are bad. That's why it's so fun to hear about Jules' fun and adventures. Dan is aware of her participating here.
I hope not to lose you, you've been a boost to.KB. If your life is moving on and we won't be part of it I for one will understand.
Maybe a talk with Allen will help keep you posting, sans photos if that's what it takes. He does seem open minded as with the audio blow job during a gaming session. One of your classic posts. I don't think he is one to tolerate secrets.
I love you and hope you find happiness. Looks like you're considering things carefully. :emot_kiss:

I suppose this could be a what ruined my day thing. But, in reality it is a what ruined a friend's day on Sunday/Monday.
Last Thursday, Mrs JBRG and I hosted a new friend at the pool we are caring for. We told her that if she wanted another pool day, just call and we would make it happen. She was all prepared to call us this past Sunday when she got a call from her boyfriend. The boyfriend was supposed to be on a 10 day boating excursion up the Sea of Cortez. He left on Thursday and wasn't supposed to be back until 19 May. Well, it seems, he started feeling severe gut pain and came home on Sunday. Monday morning, he was awakened at about 1:30 AM with the severe pain AND a high fever. Rush over to emergency room. They diagnosed (correctly) appendicitis. But, this ER could not handle that so they went to another hospital here in La Paz for surgery. He had his appendix out and then a 24 hospital stay. Unlike American and Canadian hospitals, the rooms do not have call buttons. So, our friend had to stay at the hospital in case her boyfriend needed something. It was her responsibility to get the nurse if he needed anything. He's out of hospital and at home now.
What about this ruined my Sunday -- not seeing her in her bathing suit. What ruined her few days -- all of the above.

You might want to start expecting disappointment. I'm feeling quite conflicted right now about posting anything like I have in the past.
One of the things I stressed to my kids as they were growing up was that, if you have any doubts, don't do it.
That is especially good advice when posting anything to the internet because once it's out there, there's no way to take it back. It will live on forever.
I sincerely doubt any of our regulars will be disappointed with anything you post, or expect you to do anything outside your comfort zone.
You are the world's leading expert in knowing what you're comfortable with. Trust your gut, and don't let anyone else make those decisions for you.
All anyone here can expect is for you to keep being your adorable self, whatever that may be.

What ruined my day:
1. Uber delivery man tossed my lunch delivery into the food bank collection bin in the lobby of my building. Ignored texts and phone calls. “Where’s my food.”
2. Political season ramping up again. We have too many elections in the United States. And politics is a blood sport. I’m staying out of 1408. My doctor gave me a note saying I am too well to participate.

No good way to put, so I’ll just say it. I got a call at 5 from my “it’s complicated” ex with ESRD. She had a biopsy on May 18 and has kidney cancer. She needs surgery and chemo, and they did a bunch of scans and discovered she also has necrosis of her left femoral head, so she needs a hip replacement. Her kidney transplant is out of the question for now.
She’s only 43. No family. She can’t do this and keep her job, so soon she’ll have no means of support.
I can’t take her in. I’m supporting my 23 y.o. with Asperger’s. We live in a tiny apartment and I am struggling with my own health issues. My doctors said I must avoid stress and anxiety. LOL.
I think she should return to Russia. She has some family there that could give her a place to live. I won’t survive if she moves in with me. My kids agree, so I guess we will see.

Thank you all for your kind words (and your offer Shy :emot_kiss:) but it's not the end of the world.
Finding a job when you're over 70 is not easily done and I'm not sure whether I even want to put in the effort. I have enough in liquid assets to pay my monthly bills for at least seven years, by which time I will be 80 if I make it that long.
I paid 75K for my house years ago and comparables in the area are selling for at least 300K so I've got enough equity to last a long time if it comes down to that.
One thing I learned long ago is that corporate America does not care about its employees. All that's important is the bottom line, which has to keep increasing, no matter what.

I have a pretty insecure employment situation with a bunch of children for supervisors. I don’t know what generation they are, only that I have been practicing law longer than they have been alive. And ageism is real. Very real.
I had a legal assistant pop into my office and inform me she learned something new. I said in a conversation that we would burn someone in effigy. She Googled it and told me she had never heard that phrase before.
Something like this happens daily.
So what ruined my day is having to go back to work. I don’t own a house and I don’t have a retirement fund. Planning to die with my boots on. Not too soon, but I can see the finish line from here.

Went to the grocery store today to pick up a few things. There was an older guy standing in the doorway screaming out to the parking lot. He went on into the store and I went in and got what I needed.
On my way out I saw the manager and told him about the incident. He pointed behind me and there was the guy at the self checkout. The manager said they were watching him and he was to leave the store as soon as he had his groceries. As I drove out of the parking lot there he was on a flower planter yelling at nothing and nobody. For some reason the area is attracting a lot of crazies.
Told my wife about this when I got home. Went into the other room to change and still had the incident on my mind. It was then it hit me, there but for the grace of God go I. Made it easier to put out of my mind.

After KB went down on February 13, I was messing around on my smart phone, and download an app for a game called “Palaces and Puzzles.“ It’s one of those little kingdom games where you build an an army and earn points by attacking opponents.
Anyway, I got addicted to this thing. And have played it daily for six months. I’ve wasted untold hours and a lot of money on it. And the whole game is rigged. It’s constantly holding a benefit in front of you, like a carrot, but you have to spend money to get it. And then you know once you get it, there is a new carrot.
Well today, I finally just had it. Another member of my alliance team attacked me. And I enjoyed a moment of lucidity concerning the idiotic nature of this enterprise. It’s not my first rodeo. I deleted the app and all my data. So I’m moving on to other things now. I wish I had a dollar for every dollar I wasted on that thing.
TIL ONEMT owns the franchise. Based in China. Monthly earnings of about $10M. My dollars will not be going to China any longer.

My high school had their annual reunion last night. My sister sent me pictures. There were so many I can't recognize now. Some looked like I should know but memories fail. :facepalm:
My sister did say that many seem to be aging faster. My 60th reunion is next year. Don't think I'd be up to the trip and wouldn't dare leave wife home alone.

I went to my 40th, four years ago. Everyone seemed so much older than me. Most of them live within 5 miles of our hometown, and think Olive Garden is fancy eating. They’re nice people, but they were all rather simple, and all the stuff that goes with being a red hat wearing conservative. Some of them had grandchildren older than my children.
Our 50th is still six years away. I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

What almost ruined my day was trying to log in this morning. I saw a white screen with a big number 404 and the words, "Sorry, Dave isn't here, man."
My first thought was, "Oh FFS, not again."
Then I scrolled down to see what time the last post was made and saw four people listed as being logged in. Tried again, and here I am. Weird.

Today's air quality index in Minneapolis has hit 175! When I looked that up it puts us in the red zone. Not good :emot_weird: I'm out for a haircut and went past the airport. The buildings look like they are shrouded in.dense fog. Planes landing seem to be coming out of thick clouds.
It's all from the Canadian forest fires. Many summer programs for kids are being cancelled as it's not safe for them to run and play in these conditions :facepalm:

Google told me to stay inside as the AQI in my area is at 198. Places in Madison are above 200. I heard that some people in the UP are being hospitalized with respiratory problems. We are reducing the amount of time the dogs are staying outside, and when they are, you can tell its effecting them by the lower amount of activity.

While the rest of the USA takes Monday off for the Fourth of July holiday, my office will be open. Open as in “me and one other person” will show up. Everyone else will say they are “working from home,” and then I will see them posting pictures of their kids on Facebook at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. It’s very frustrating.

I have been reading a lot of articles lately, to the effect of the Fourth of July is not the unifying national holiday that it once was. In the wake of George Floyd, January 6, controversial Supreme Court rulings, etc., there are many people who no longer feel America is the “land of the free.“
Add mass shooting events at several Fourth of July parades last year, and many people are choosing to not participate in traditional holiday activities. Oh sure, they’ll still get together and cook some thing on the barbie, but you won’t see the streets lined with throngs waving American flags.
And these so-called patriots don’t seem to understand their role in all of this. When you make the country only about being a cis white protestant, the other 60% feel left out.

My nextdoor neighbor (not the ones who help us) doesn't have a lot of contact with us other than saying hi.
Her mom does stop by when she's in town tho. She stopped this morning with a couple of cider donuts she'd picked up on her drive up here. We had a nice chat and she headed back to the daughter's house.
A short while later she was back. The daughter's boyfriend, who's in the process of moving in, got hit on his motorcycle. She didn't think he was hurt bad but added he was being airlifted in to a St. Paul hospital. That doesn't sound like "not hurt bad" to me.
I gave her my number so she can call me with an update hopefully. Ok, we're not close as neighbors but damn it they're neighbors

Sorry Toe. That sounds painful.
Must confess wife and I actually are to the point where we have to have a registered nurse come by every couple months to do our toenails.
Wife has problems with several toes including one hammer toe. With the combination of the arthritis in my fingers and not being able to bend my legs doing my toenails became a major event.
Wife heard about a nurse who makes home visits. She was working in a senior facility a few years ago and discovered our group has a lot of problems with toenails. Deciding to strike out on her own, she took a special course in foot care and is now making home visits.
She charges $50.00 for one and half price for a second person. She comes with several types of trimmers for problem nails. Also checks for other foot problems too. Well worth the money.
It helps that she's nice looking and finishes with a nice rub down at the end with oil going from the foot up to the knee.

I am blind, not very limber, and every time I cut my own nails I end up drawing blood. Not good for a diabetic with poor circulation in the extremities.
Once I tore off the nail (insert screams and more blood here), I got it cleaned up and it does not look too bad. Certainly not freak show noticeable.
And yes, we are getting old. But perversity knows no age limits.

Ooohhh my gosh... as soon as I read this I curled my toes in to protect my nails. When I was in the army, one of the guys in my squad was messing around after drinking and was messing with the door on this closet. He swung it back too hard and it hit his bare foot pealing back 3 of his toenails. If he hadn't been so drunk, I'm sure he would have screamed and cried like a little boy

Why do border customs agents have to be such jerks. "Nationality?" "U.S." "You Miss?" Dan answers, "Also U.S." In a totally shitty tone he says to Dan,"I was speaking to her. She can speak for herself."
I say, "Look at my fucking passport, prick." Which he can not understand. The agent looks at Dan. Dan stares back. The agent raises his eyebrows. "What was that?" "She was answering you." "And what was her answer." "U.S." He looks at me and back to Dan. Hands Dan a piece of paper and tells us to pull over, that we required further inspection. We had to get off so that three agents could look through the RV. They took some fruit and vegetables out of the fridge, carrying them in a clear plastic bag. Another agent starts asking what we were doing in Canada. "Just traveling along Lake Superior - circle tour of the lake," Dan answers. "Are you bringing any marijuana across, ma'am?" "Has anybody ever answered yes to that question?" He looks at me. "She has a speech impairment," Dan answers. He asks Dan the same question. "No, the marijuana we purchased in Canada, was all consumed in Canada." I laughed. Shocked that Dan answered like that. "Okay, you're free to go. Welcome back to the U.S. Have a safe drive home.."

It's a good question. It's not universal, since while most Americans refer to cherry pits, some Americans refer to the thing inside larger fruits, like peaches and plums, as stones.
To make things more complicated, those larger fruits are collectively referred to as "stone fruits," both in the U.S. and the U.K. So, things inside fruits like peaches, pears, apricots, dates, mangoes, etc. are specifically referred to as stones.
We also have different words for the inedible things inside oranges. I recall reading the Sherlock Holmes stories when I was a girl, and coming across one titled, "The Five Orange Pips," and from the title, I had no idea what pips were. Only after reading the story did I figured out it's the British word for what we call seeds.

"What causes pip in poultry?"
Sorry, I couldn't help slipping in that memorable line from Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of John Buchan's "The 39 Steps". Another of my favorite lines comes during the riot in the music hall, when the master of ceremonies calls out, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, you're not at home!"
John Buchan's second son (William) was also a successful writer. A few years ago I purchase a second-hand copy of his novel "Kumari" and was delighted to find that it was signed by the author and dedicated to "Barbara". That was the name of Buchan's second wife, but I suspect it was another lady of the same name. :D

So do cherry pits/stones. Or at least the sugar that metabolizes into cyanide. Several times while blending cherries, I'll here the tell tale crack and rattle of one I missed. If it's still whole, I dont worry about it, but the second it cracks open, I have to throw everything in the blender out. A pit/stone wont digest, so if you swallow a whole one, you'd be fine, but the inside is where the bad stuff is. It probably wouldnt hurt an adult, but better to be safe than sorry. It would take like 500 to kill an average adult, but if a kids ate some, it could be very bad.

My 25 year old ASD pizza kid. His car gets a flat, so I go pick him up, lend him my car to deliver pizzas, and spend four hours in the sun waiting for a tow. Get that finished, spend $200 and he announces he does not have money to pay for that, my bad, and he’ll need my car again today.
So I come home. Sit down, watch Cocaine Bear, and have a grand mal seizure. Stress, anxiety, trigger. Wake up with the kid putting a bag of frozen peas on head, because, you know, 911 is too hard to dial. He thinks he’s the hero who saved Dad with a bag of frozen peas.
So trying to decide if I should you to work now. My boss is vacationing in Hungary. He’s been to NOLA, Vegas, Hawaii, and Budapest this past month. I don’t think he’ll notice.

I have an enormous margarita fueled brain gap that it was the strangers that were the enormous problem. When he started talking about it, our conversation all came flooding back to me about him maybe getting banned if the wrong person hears us. He also talked about some people stream their games, meaning they have people watching them play the game, so it could go from a dozen people to a hundred depending on the person.
I can't believe I forgot all that, and I felt like a complete idiot. We reestablished the rules, and I said maybe I should write them down and keep them next to me whenever he's having game night.

I don’t think you have anything to feel bad about, and you certainly don’t owe him an apology. And I am personally disappointed in him because this borders on slut shaming, IMHO.

It's not about what we were doing, he enjoyed it, and found it exciting, it's about the wrong people hearing us. The main thing is that some kid could be playing the game and all of a sudden I'm moaning and talking about riding Allan's dick into this kids ear through his headset. Or he's playing and the tv is loud and the kids parents hear it.
This game thing is important to him, and I don't want him getting banned from it or whatever. As MJ pointed out, we did talk about it and I overstepped what we talked about.

I agree with Toe, our Shiela should not be slut shamed, she's too pure of heart for that. :roll:
The problem as Our girl explained is she has no idea who's on the game as in kids or some uptight a-hole who won't stand for sex but plays war games blasting the shit out of bad guys.
Maybe keep that on here for us to enjoy. ;D

My kid used to play Call of Duty when he was in the fourth grade. And he participated in an online group that was all adults. I came downstairs at four in the morning and found him cursing like a sailor online. I took the Xbox out on the driveway the following morning and took a sledgehammer to it. He still plays Call of Duty. But he’s 25 years old now. He can use all the profanity he wants.
Long way of saying, adults don’t have any business playing with children. Online or elsewhere.

Perhaps she related to Khan. He had some pretty fierce descendants. He had a granddaughter, I forget her name, who would challenge men to a wrestling match. If they beat her, she would marry them, if she won, they owed her 100 horses. She died unmarried and with over 10,000 horses.
Long way of saying, adults don’t have any business playing with children. Online or elsewhere.
From what I can tell, it's just random who he gets teamed up with unless he actually forms a team, and I've only ever seem him to that with his buddies. Even then, they get put into games with other people at random.
I messed up, I need to make it up to him. It is my part in our relationship to make his life easier, more pleasant and less stressful. I'll do it because he's my King, and I love him.

A 2003 study found that, across all of Asia, 8% of men had the same Y-chromosomal haplogroup as Genghis Khan. 8% of Asian men amounts to 0.5% of the entire world's population. This Y-chromosomal haplogroup carries unique signatures that originated in Mongolia about 1000 years ago (1000 AD/CE).
Much of Russia and Eastern Europe also have Khan blood, thanks to the Golden and Red Hordes that overran them. My ex had oriental eyes. I would tell her “Don’t go all Genghis Khan on me.” Always got her Mongolian blood boiling.

WRMD Emptying the dishwasher tonight. Dropped a glass. It shattered. Cleaned it up. Resumed eating. Resumed breaking. This time a coffee cup. Just the handle snapped off, two pieces. Not like that damn glass. Easy cleanup. Wait, there's more. I finished putting the dishes away, Dan walks in, opens the cupboard door to the glasses. A glass comes falling out. (This is all slow motion here....). Dan notices and instinctively sticks his hand out to catch the glass, instead, he knocks it toward the window sill over the sink and hits the three glasses that have fresh cut flowers with water in them. Two of those glasses break, most of the pieces falling down into the sink, some of those pieces down ithe drain.

Different day same crap. At least I can look at a screen without wanting to throw up. The heat is playing a major factor. Today is 95 with a 105 index. Wouldnt be that big a deal if I wasnt living in the midwest.
Yesterday evening had a pretty gnarly time. Had to use the bathroom, and when I tried getting back into bed, I couldnt lift my leg high enough, mix that with massive dizzy spells, and I fell to the floor. I was stuck between my bed and the wall for at least an hour and a half. Couldn't force myself up because I was getting sickly dizzy whenever I would start to sit up. About 3 episodes of The Office and then about 10 minutes or listening to the menu on the DVD, I gritted my teeth, and fought nausea to get back in bed. 8m just glad I fell after I went pee.
Thanks all for the well wishes. Love you all :emot_kiss:

I had two or three grand mal seizures last night coupled with a hypoglycemic episode. So everything was just a huge goulash of brain activity. I don’t know what was actually happening and said, versus what I was imagining. I want to tell you this Shiela. If I’m not there to drink your golden shower, keep a bedpan or super Slurpee cup on the nightstand. That way, if you can just roll your ass to the edge of the bed, you can relieve yourself without trying to make it across the room and into the toilet. That’s what I did last night. Just remember which class you peed into, because I’m never going to use that one again. LOL.

Honestly Bob, I had zero to drink last night. But Miss It’s Complicated text bombed me 15 times and all the kids took turns asking me for money. And I have a file review scheduled tomorrow with my absentee boss. Stress and anxiety.
I knew something was wrong when I went to bed. My head was killing me, so I popped two ibubrofen. Thought the anti-inflammatory might settle my brain down. Note to self: it didn’t.
But I appreciate your concern and certainly will take your advice next time I think about drinking.

That's good to hear Toe. Yes, stress can be a deadly foe. As someone who talks about drinking, I know that can leave lasting damage on you. With your underlying conditions the alcohol can make you vulnerable later on even without having a drink.

All Ikea glassware. We drove by one yesterday and swung in, I bought 8 more glasses. I also love their big napkins.White, black and yellow, two packs of each. Dan wants to add some cabinets in the garage, so we looked at those, but he wants something a little more rugged. And we discovered they have a special going on this week in the cafe. $2.99 meatballs. We were going to go to a good steakhouse on the way home, but I couldn't resist. Plus, the ice cream cone at the exit is a must every Ikea visit.

First things first, that is an ENORMOUS no to that golden shower thing. I have plans for when I have my flare ups like this. So no big gulps needed.
At least last time you had a seizure you were rescued with a bag of frozen peas on your head. Hope these dont keep happening. Perhaps an MJ style "get away from it all" kind of trip is in order. Swap places with you boss who's traipsing around the globe.
I've been to IKEA twice. Went with my friends, I bought some new kitchen stuff and we had meatballs at the food court thing, and the second time we went just for the food.

Uncle's in the hospital. Some bacteria or something that I can't rememever the name of caused his throat to close up and he couldn't breath. My aunt said he had had a really sore thought for a couple days, and couldnt swallow, and then Wednesday night he nearly pushed her out of bed and was struggling to get a breath. She immediately dialed 911. When the paramedics arrived he had to get an emergency tracheotomy. He's loaded up with antibiotics and painkillers. He's gonna be fine, just scary as hell especially since my aunt died from complications from asthma.
He cant talk and it's kinda funny trying to watch him write things down when he's all loopy on pain meds. My aunt had us all laughing yesterday afternoon when she took his white board away telling him to "shut up [he] talks to much"

That's what I thought when I got the call from my cousin Jake. I dont know all the details or what they said it was, but it's something similar to the bacteria that causes strep throat. He had a one in a million reaction to it. It started off as just a sore throat, and then things started getting worse. It happened over about a week, and when it got really bad, they thought tonsillitis so they made a doctors appointment. Day and a half later he's in the emergency room with tubes in his throat.
My aunt and uncle have always been silly fun loving people so the jokes wont stop, especially bow that they know hes going to be fine. She was even making a few jokes about how he woke her up. "Kick me like that again, and I'm collecting the life insurance"

I am overreacting. I know I'm overreacting, but I cant stop overreacting.
Dad's girlfriend Julie, asked me for my meatball recipe. I've made these meatballs every first packer game of the season ever since we rebuilt our relationship. It's one of my favorite things to do for him. She told me he keeps bringing them up when she talk about what to make for the party. She wants to make them for him because she wants to do something special. The only change I have ever made to them was to make them with venison, only because he wanted to try it.
This is bothering far more than it should, or at least I feel like it is. This is the first time since they got together that something has bothered me about her. She is a fantastic person and has been a joy to be around and I know my dad is head over heels with her.
I know I'm overreacting and my friends even said, let her make the version ones, and I can do beef, but its mine and my thing to do for him. I'm so overreacting I've even thought, "let them have their party, I'll go over to Allan's parents with my meatballs and party with them."

I have a number of secret recipes that I have been asked for. Some of them were given to me by my grandmothers. And others I’ve come to do myself.
I’m sure she meant no offense, and she has no idea the special significance this recipe has for you. But I would just tell her honestly, “It is my secret recipe, and this is a special thing between me and my dad. I’m happy to make them for your party, but I prefer to keep this secret recipe for myself. No offense.”
It’s not the meat balls, it’s the relationship thing with your dad. It may have more significance to you than it does for him. I doubt she would be offended or make an issue out of it. If she does, then there is the problem.

My daughter called me to ask if egging a house was a rational response. Since this was the calm one, I asked to what.
Shooting two puppies on their own farm, and throwing them in the slough.
I kid you not, the farm that is owned by her room mate/land lords and fellow vet students that Alyssa volunteers at for large animal medicine practice has farm dogs that just had a litter of puppies. All are being socialized by the parents and learning to be good stock dogs before they get adopted out. All already had owners lined up, they are of a line of very good stock dogs. Their neighbor decided it was the thing to do to pull up along side their property line on his tractor, and shoot the puppies across the fence, then grab the bodies and toss them in the slough.
The cops have been called, so that is in the works, eventually, Very small town, so justice will be go around to. My daughter called me and asked if a road trip to the farm to egg the puppy shooting neighbors house was warranted. I assured her, egging puppy shooting assholes is entirely reasonable. If they object, upgrade to stones. The local cop is one of the people waiting on puppies from the litter, so expect little sympathy for the dog shooter.

As an animal lover I can well understand the fury your daughter is feeling.
That said doing something that could cause her legal problems is not the answer, no matter how satisfying it may feel. Let the authorities take care of this legally.
Let's hope the asshole gets what's coming to him. No doubt there's already bad blood between the two parties so an egging will make those feelings worse.

My young boss is in British Vancouver, getting ready to embark on a cruise to Tokyo. He’ll be back sometime in October. I envy his travel schedule, but it’s a horrible way to run a law office. I really have zero incentive to go in today, or any other.

I wonder how long it takes to cross the Pacific. One month seems to be cutting it fine. Will he be flying back to the US?

Off to the dentist. It will ruin my day. I can't stand the dentist, and the super bright lights in the eyes allways leave me with a headache. The ten thousand "I'm sorry" as his elbow meets my boob gets old. Yes, I know, they are huge, and in the way. Not news. No you are not trying to cop a feel with your elbows, I know where the big steel pick or drill is right now, please pay attention to it, not mount Milk Maid.
I am pumping before I go, because squirting at him will not improve my dental experience.

Last summer I had to have a few teeth pulled. The first came out so easy and painless I started to laugh.

Last summer I had to have a few teeth pulled. The first came out so easy and painless I started to laugh.
A friend's dentist advised her to have a troublesome wisdom tooth removed. She was terrified, having heard horror stories of teeth crumbling during extraction. She begged me to come with her and the dentist agreed. He gave her a injection and chatted with me while he waited for the anaesthetic to work.
"Let's see if there's any feeling left," he said to my friend. "Open wide."
I could see what he was doing; my friend couldn't.
"Hmm. That's seems okay. Are you ready?"
A grunt from my friend.
Seconds later:
"All done. You can open your eyes now," said he, showing her the bloody tooth in his palm.
"When did you. . . .?"

I have pretty nice teeth. Two cavities from very early in life. Ti have a few weaknesses. One is Milk Duds. At the dollar store they have the theatre size boxes for $1.00 , $1.25 now. I frequent the store once a week for little things and I always pick up a box of Milk Duds. Well, they act like a plunger when chewing on them and about 10 yrpears ago, it pulled one of my fillings out. Wow. I went in and had it refilled, but the doctor had to clean up inside with his grinding tool before filling it. Another weakness is chewing ice. Life long bad habit as far back as I can remember. (I even remember getting yelled at by Mrs Adair way back in x th grade.). Well, that tooth with the cavity doc filled ten years ago was weak enough the ice broke it. The top half of my tooth. So, I had to have a crown. WORST EXPERIENCE of my life (well in the top ten). I never want to go through that hell ever again. Yes, I quit chewing ice. No, I will not give up my Milk Duds (or Good & Plenty.)

I had a lot of confidence in that dentist. We had a consultation meeting a couple weeks before the last extractions. X-rays and a quick look inside.
He leaned back and observed me for a minute. He then said 'Looks like you're pretty comfortable and relaxed. I'm guessing you don't need any sedation for this." I told him no, just load me up with novican.
As to teeth crumbling...yep, the last of the four broke. He was on his toes trying to get enough leverage to pull it out. When it came he hit my upper lip, so I had a fat lip for a couple days. Just a minor snag, but they know how to handle problems.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out about 30 years ago. I was an active daily meditator at the time. I got really drugged up, and was put on gas. I sensed an out of body experience, where I was in the upper corner of the room, observing the extraction being done below.
Later, the endodontist commented that that was the easiest extraction he had ever done. “You didn’t wince or make a sound once. I can’t remember the last time that happened.“ I replied, “I can’t remember the last time I had an out of body experience.“ We both laughed. He thought I was joking. I wasn’t.

I have had several root canals done, some twice, never any pain just in an uncomfortable position for up to 2 hours. I hate the hygienist more than the dentist. Ever since the UK government withdrew all but the most basic dentistry from the National Health Service they are essentially private practices and insist that you see the hygienist as a condition of accepting you as apatient.

No root canals here, and the only teeth I got pulled were my wisdom teeth. Did that in the army while it was still free, or on the tax payers dollar, so thanks for the free dental. Anyways, they dont just pull the tooth out, they go in and drill out the middle, and the cut the top of it. Then they go in and deliberately crush it into quarter pieces and remove them.
My highest problem now is that cracked tooth I've got on the left side. Cant see it, but every now and again when I chew... I feel it.

Thursday night I wasn't feeling well around bedtime. Around midnight I started getting sick in the toilet. It continued all night. Couldn't keep anything down on Friday and slept most of the day. Laid in bed all day on Saturday. Slept today on and off all day. I think I've been awake for 6 hours of the last 48 hours. Feeling okay now and eating dry toast and chicken broth. On the plus side, I'm down 12 pounds.

My goofball doofus pizza delivering son broke my favorite cocktail glass. It is a Waterford leaded crystal double highball glass in the Lismore pattern. I enjoy sitting in my favorite chair at night and sipping bourbon from this rather expensive glass. I’ve lost a lot of things in recent years, but I kept it as a reminder that I once had everything. He knocked it off the table and shattered it, picked it up, and didn’t tell me about it. I found a piece of the etched glass under the chair, when I was looking for it. I can buy another one, but they’re about $100. Not sure if I have that in the budget right now. My other son wants a college graduation ring that costs $2100 bucks.

Heard from my best friend's wife that she thinks he's dying. This is the friend who broke his hip last October 1st. He stayed in the VA hospital for over 10 months having his hip break two more times
He was finally moving to a nursing home. He was placed in Hospice care. That doesn't mean you're dying, just need extended care.
Shortly after that his wife found him laying half out of his bed all drugged up. They're keeping him on Morphine.
Now when she visited she found they had to spoon feed him. He can't sit up
I think he's just giving up and wants to "move on". We're the same age and so alike in so many ways. I think of all I've fought through to gain a few more years of life. To see another Bob ,(yes same name) just give up, is gut wrenching.

Sorry to hear Bob. My grandmother sustained a broken hip walking into a convenience store in the rain. She tripped and fell on the doormat. And it really just put her into a long slow spiral decline. She didn’t die for almost another three years, but she was never the same after that. Memory eternal.
Certainly puts my broken cocktail glass complaint into perspective.

Sorry to hear about you friend love. Some people just dont want to deal with the struggle and just want to move on. Once they hit a certain point, I think keeping them going is more for the loved ones benefit than for them. I know once my MS takes me past a certain point, I just want to go. I'm not even 40 yet, and I've already got a DNR.
as for your glass issue PH, I've stopped buying expensive nice looking glasses and plates a while ago. I kept dropping them myself and decided I'm getting stuff from the thrift shop from now on. The only really nice glasses I have left are in my curio cabinet never to be used again.

It was the only one I kept. I sold or gave away all of the sterling, all of the china, all of the crystal, a long time ago. But I kept this one glass for myself. It was symbolic, and a comfort item. So naturally my child with Aspergers made it his mission to destroy it. I’m not mad at him. I’m just sad. It’s a metaphor for my life right now.

Not on the scale of some personal problems described here and elsewhere in the world, but this bit of mindless vandalism really upset me, maybe because it is so mindless.
They have arrested a 16-year old boy, but the tree looks very professionally felled.

I saw that this morning. And it is just disgusting. Part of an ongoing trend on TikTok to make videos of mindless vandalism. So he destroyed a 300 year old tree on Hadrian‘s wall for a few clicks or views on his account. I think they should take away his phone, and give him a lifetime ban on all Internet. He can have it back in 300 years, when the tree he felled has been replaced.

I'm pretty much gutted tho' it comes as no surprise. My friend who broke his hip last October 1st, has decided he's had enough. He's been in hospital or a nursing home since the break. While at the VA, it broke twice more. The joint was in too bad shape.
Got a text from his wife yesterday. He has quit eating and wants to end things. I didn't shed one tear over my own situation. Last night as we were making supper I broke down and wife had to hold me for a while before we could finish.
We went to visit him today and stayed for a couple hours. Held his hand a lot. He's weak and not talking much but we talked some. One of his brothers was there and we talked with him and shared memories and Bob could hear us and would join in some.
Our big job is to watch over and help the wife. She's been overwhelmed for the whole past year. We already found a minister for his memorial service. That there will take a load off.
So now it's just a matter of waiting.

A photo which encapsulates the Sycamore Gap tragedy.
I hope the two that did that get locked away for years. I'd have no problem with them being charged with murder for killing that tree.
So do I Shiela, unfortunately there is no legal protection for monumental trees in the UK. Trees can have a local government Tree Preservation Order on them but un-authorised felling is only punishable by a fine.

I just can't understand what gets into such wanton destruction. To just pay a fine and be able to walk away seems too little.
I'd like to see the tree killers get community service like several weekends of planting new trees in parks. Some hard work that will be remembered.

Went to an Octoberfest party last night at a friend of Dans. I had very little to eat throughout the day. But they had some catered stuff, that was good. But I drank beer the whole night. And I feel awful today. This is why I don't drink beer. Hung over and feeling absolutely sh*tty. Even went by my bourbon drinking rules. Drink a glass of beer (or a pour of bourbon) follow it by drinking 12 ounces of water. Didn't work. Feel terrible. In bed at 1, slept until 10:30. Dan said I sounded like a freight train because I snored all night. I told him that I don't snore. I played me a recording. I sound like an old pickup with no muffler, but not a freight train.

Cant speak as if I am an expert on the topic, but when I get tore up, usually at my friends new years party, i put a barrier of some kind of grain food or sandwhich between my stomach and what I drink, then chase every drink I drink with gatorade, mineral water or pedalyte. Does it stop me from feeling shitty the next morning, no, but it knocks down the severity quite a bit. One year, Subway sandwiches and pretzels saved me from my friends obsession with Irish Wakes.

My son has a friend who is perhaps the most detestable individual I have ever met. And we’ve had a long time feud between my family and his. This culminated in him assaulting me a few years ago, and cracking my sternum. I ended up being hospitalized a few hours later with a-fib.
So I came home from work today and here is this son of a bitch bastard sitting in my house with my son, and they are drinking my bourbon.
Every bad thing that has ever happened to my kid involves this reprobate child man. If they go out for a good time, this fellow ends up enjoying himself, and my son ends up spending the night in jail. I don’t know why it is. But he is absolutely a disaster in human form.
Reading back over this, I have to admit my son is also a disaster in human form. But the two of them together is an absolute nightmare.
So my son skipped work today, because he could not blow into his Intoxilyzer. Mr. Shit Head headed out for San Antonio and my son is sleeping it off on the sofa.
If I win the lottery tonight I’m getting my own place and I will not give anybody the address or phone number. Except Linda and Shiela.

Some people are born with an instinctive ability to manipulate others. They recognize easy marks and know exactly which emotional buttons to push.
I'm not aware of any reliable way to help people who have come under the influence of such manipulators. I hope your son's friend moves on, or is locked up, and leaves your son to get on with his life.

I looked at them and told them they're disgusting and turned to walk away, and one slapped my butt. I'm still in my work scrubs. I dropped my basket, screamed and turned on them which let another try to grab my chest. I swung to hit him, but hit his arm which at least stopped him from completely grabbing me. He did grip my top and try to pull me down or pull it off me, by then a couple of guys started yelling at them, and these quite young jerks took off. To keep this long story short because it's hard to type through these tears, I made a police report, who are going to see if they can find them based on what they get off security cameras.

Thank you all so much. I have much love for you all. I worry, but never think it might actually happen to me, especially on a sunday afternoon in the middle of a store like that. On top of that, apparently I wasnt the only one it happened to that day. Guessing these kids were on a sexual assult spree. They have to be about half my age, which makes me wonder what type of "men" they'll grow up to be. Horrible horrible people. I did get a call late yesterday afternoon saying they may have found one of the kids, but they are looking into it. Other than that I have no more news on it. I'm not even sure I would be able to identify them. They were all wearing hoodies, and one had a covid mask on. One of the guys that came to my rescue chased after them, but didnt go too far before coming back to me. I'm assuming when the kids grabbed my and pulled, I dont think he was trying to pull me down, but tying to tear my scrubs top off.
I appreciate everybody's concern, but I'll be fine. The shock and fear is subsiding but the disgust stays. Violated doesnt seem like a strong enough term.
Oh, and I dug my pistol out of my closet and cleaned it this morning.

Bond Arms sells nifty derringers, in almost any caliber you may like. Bought my wife the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) since its easier to get the ammo, since I have a nice stockpile of it. despite being a small gun, it does have the stopping power. it truly is sad that no one can respect a woman anymore. But we all are here for you if needed.

Dan just got invited to a weekend golfing outing He initially told his friends he couldn't join them because we thought we would be in Las Vegas (those plans got canceled a month ago). Well, one of the eight going had a death in the family so it opened a spot for Dan. He was going to say no, but I told him to go. M is gone on a road trip. The middle one is at college. The little one is on a Girl Scout camping trip.
Anyone want to come over this Fri & Saturday night? I hate being alone.

I know what you mean about being alone. Feels like you never fully fall asleep and you wake up to everything. I haven't slept very well these last few days and Allan is asking too many questions about what's wrong with me and I dont wany to tell him. I slept at my dads last night and he could tell I'm not my normal self. I just tell them it's my MS. I dont want them worrying and overreacting to what happened.
I'd swing by, but it looks like you'll have plenty of guests, and some things, involving red jerseys, I dont need to intrude on. 😘

Dropped off Little Miss off at school. The scout mom and a few other moms that are going to help supervise the girls were in the parking lot accepting backpacks and personal belongings. Dropped all that off to their minivan. Dan left at 6:30 with his boys.
Little Miss returns about 6pm on Sunday. Dan and guys planned a round of golf for Sunday. So following that, and a 3-1/2 hour drive home, and is expected in after 8:00. So, I'm alone now.
But wait......
I told my friend I'd be hanging out by myself and she suggested she could come stay with me. :) . I can't wait. Maybe we'll sit on the bed and listen to records, read magazines, and call boys on the telephone.

Just back from another visit with my best friend who's still trying to die. He's been working at it for almost three weeks now. That's when he quit eating.
I can't say enough about how hard this has been on his wife. She been there nearly every day since this started last October 1st.
I spent some time holding his hand and we told each other that we loved each other. I promised I'd be there for his wife.
Leaving the facility was so hard. Tear filled eyes made it hard to see but I was able to to follow the two wives. .

As I held his hand I told him everything was going to be OK. I promised I'd be there for his wife too. We'd talked about this several months ago. I promised to watch out for his wife and he promised to look out for mine.
He still had hopes of recovery of his hip at the time.

My friend and I were not very “touchy-feely.“ But the day before he went into the hospital, he called me and sounded upset. I tried to assure him that everything was going to be fine, it was a routine procedure, and he had nothing to worry about. But he still needed a shoulder to lean on, so we spent an unusually long amount of time on the phone that day. When we got to the end of the conversation, I said, “I love you bro.“ He replied, “I love you too.“
That was the last time I spoke with him. And those were the final words we said to each other.
I’m so glad I had that opportunity. And I try to remember the lessons of that moment. Tell the people you love how you feel TODAY. Don’t take for granted that you’ll have a chance to say that some time in the future.

I agree. I never leave the house without telling the wife I love her and her me.
Bob and I have been huggers for a long time. Every time I visit I tell him I love him. He can't stand for hugs anymore, but I hold his hand as I sit by his bed. He knows I'm there and I can tell it brings him some peace.

My apartment complex sent out a notice yesterday that they are repaving the parking lot today, and that everyone should have their vehicles moved by 8 AM, or they will be towed. So I looked out the window and saw my neighbor’s car sitting there alone in the parking lot. I went over and knocked on his door a few times, but he did not answer. Sure enough, only a few minutes later, a tow truck backed up and hauled him off. And getting towed in Texas is a goddamn nightmare. I know it’s a nightmare everywhere, but you’re talking about the day of your life and $300 to $500, proof of ownership, registration, insurance, etc.
I hope he was getting laid.

A good friend of mine just had a bad reaction to her initial chemo and required resuscitation. Like battling breast cancer wasn’t enough of a chainsaw to the cunt. Not to put too fine a point on it, but between alcohol, suicide and cancer, there are not a lot of people I served with left alive.

So sorry about your friend. I hope they get things re-adjusted for her treatment. I thank God and my doctors that my chemo went as well as it did.
It is a very tricky balance as the drugs need to be strong enough to kill the cancer without killing the patient.
I wish your friend the best. Having a good friend like you is strong medicine too. :hug:

It is the fourth quarter, so insurance companies like to clear claims off the books, and clients like to get money to pay for the “G.I. Joe with the kung fu grip“ for Christmas (Trading Places). It’s all about money. And I’ve got both sides fucking with me.

I just had a Dallas lawyer call me and read me the riot act and accuse me of a bunch of horrible things. He’s a corporate lawyer, not an insurance defense attorney. And he’s a person with knowledge of relevant facts because he’s the one that negotiated and had his client execute the franchise agreement that’s made the basis of their liability. What a dickhead. I told him just to put anything he wants to say to me in writing, because we seem to disagree about everything that’s ever been said about this case. I hung up on him.
So my phone has been exploding ever since. He’s noticed six depositions and served 1400 pages of discovery. Yeah. Well, there goes my fucking weekend.

Went to pick up a pizza for me for dinner. Clipped a curb pulling in and got a rim leak. I pulled the car across the street to be out of the way and got all the stuff out to change it. As I got the tire off the scissor jack tipped and the car fell onto the rotor. Had to have my brother in law come out, in the rain, with a few floor jacks to help me out. Should have been a nice night by myself having a drink and eating pizza. Instead I worked on the car in the rain.

Post by: JBRG on October 23, 2023, 08:42:15 PM
Well, the last 6 weeks or so have been fucking hell.
It started at the beginning of September. La Paz is a desert city. It doesn't rain much but when it does -- WOW. We attended at professional soccer game and when the downpour started, it really came down. Half time was at least twice as long as normal. Then, they had the stadium staff out with brooms trying to sweep water off the playing surface. when the rain let up. They got the game in and we traversed deep water to get home.
The very next Friday we had an hour long downpour while we were at home. It turns out (and I should have noticed it when we moved in) that our apartment complex was built about a foot and a half below street level. There was so much water on the roadway that it chose to run downhill on our drive way and proceeded to fill the parking lot and yard. End result, 2 feet of water outside of our apartment and 3 inches inside. We had to wait until the outside water had drained to below our door to get outside without letting more water in. The other two apartments were in much worse shape. They had gaps at the bottom of their doors and the water inside was as high as the water outside. We called a friend who had a shop vac who came over and helped us. Our neighbour had a very electrically unsafe emergency pump and a drain in his yard. He ran a hose over the wall from our yard into his and we managed to pump a good amount of water over the wall into his drain. In the mean time, We and our friend and his girl friend (who like Sheldon Cooper would say was a girl who was a friend but not a girl friend) helped us get rid of the water and dirt that had come into our home. This took about two hours. We then went over to one of our neighbours units and helped at least get rid of the water in her place. She suffered more than we did because she had soooooo much stuff that there was no way she could get it out of the reach of the water. We spoke to the land lords and noted what we saw as major deficiencies and made some suggestions as to how to deal with them (I'm not an engineer but I've worked with enough of them and may have at some time stayed at a Holiday Inn Express). Two weeks ago, another downpour. Hour and a half, almost two hours long. More water gathered outside (about 8 inches more water gathered outside) and a bit more inside. When we were finally able to open the door, we had an invitation from our friend to come over to his house and take shelter as long as we needed. So a small suitcase of clothes and toiletries, two dogs, a cat, and everything they needed, we were out of there. We met with the land lords the next day and he was very apologetic and gave us the polite notion that he was terminating our lease (he offered to pay for a hotel for us), would give us back our damage deposit in full and the rent we had paid for the month. Basically, he punted us out. We packed up everything we had left in the apartment and parked it in our friend's garage. Then we started the search for a new home. It just so happened, some other friends of ours were leaving La Paz to spend at least 6 months in Mazatlan. Mrs JBRG contacted the landlord and after looking at this smaller one bedroom, we had a home to move into the day after the friends left. So, we've been in the new digs a grand total of 3 days and BAM!!! Hurricane Norma pays us a visit. We lost internet connectivity on Friday evening at 9:30 PM. Cell phone service was spotty at best. Spent Saturday sheltered in place while the storm, which came ashore just south of Todos Santos, did its best to make life miserable. The good thing about this apartment - even though it's on the ground floor is that we have good drainage and had no water inside. The dogs were having nothing with going outside to do their duty. So, the shower was configured as a bathroom for them with puppy pee pads. Damn dogs wouldn't go there either. Later in the afternoon, Mrs JBRG forced them outside, on at a time, and at least emptied their bladders. We lost electric power for about 30 seconds on Saturday evening. Sunday came along with lighter rain and less forceful winds. Internet came back online yesterday after about 40 hours offline. Damage in various parts of town was quite extensive. In our neighbourhood, there were some trees down but that's about it. Down in the marinas, moored boats were blown off their moorings and have been found in other parts of the bay or were sunk (one sunk boat was raided earlier in the week and all persons on board were arrested on drug and weapons charges). So, we have come through two floods, finding and occupying a new home and a hurricane. Through all of this, we also had to renew our residency status in Mexico. We go get our new, expires in 3 years, temporary resident cards tomorrow.
As you can see, it is not what ruined my day, it's what has ruined the last month and a half. As I said, we are high and dry and safe. We may go for a walk down to the Malecon to see what kind of damage was done.

It didn’t ruin my day, but it annoyed the fuck out of me. Remember that case for the child molester? Well, we got his check and his money, and I needed him to sign the paperwork. And he bitched and moaned about every penny, and wanted to see all the receipts, talk to the accountant, argue with the chiropractor, and insisted that we had calculated his portion of the recovery incorrectly.
So I went through about 15 phone calls and emails. At the end of the day, he signed everything. He did not get one penny more than he started with this morning. And I had already cut my fee to give him more money!
I call it Toe’s Law: “Client satisfaction is inversely proportional to results obtained.” Meaning that the better job you do for someone, the more likely they are to bitch about it and give you problems.

The landlords have cleaned up our old place and the two other apartments in the compound, fixed the drainage problem and now have them (the two one bedrooms) listed as AirBnBs for $3,500 pesos - minimum 3 night stay.
I don't know what their plan is for the "two" bedroom unit we were in.

Landlords are much more reasonable with their rent demands in the spring when all the snowbirds head north. So, we will look at that time. If we find something we like that is affordable and in the right location, we will move. If we don't, we will extend for a year and go from t here.

I’ve played an online game called Match 3 Palace & Puzzles for about a year. It is very immersive in many aspects, and has a very loyal fan base. We all know each other, so there is a social aspect also, with chat boards, Discords, and alliances.
The Chinese company that owns it, ONEMT, has been slowly stopping technical support and development on the site. We saw the handwriting on the wall, but this morning everyone got a 60 day warning that the site is being shut down. Lots of unhappy people.

I remember waiting 20 minutes for one picture to download. That wasn't so bad as we didn't know better. The anticipation as line by line appeared and we gradually saw more and more of a sexy body was finally on the bulky CRT screen. :D
I remember downloading a file over dial up. I was 95% done, after an hour, and my connection dropping. I worked for my ISP at the time. Apparently, my wife decided she needed to talk to me from work, called the office and had them terminate my connection. I didn't get mad at her but I did express a great amount of frustration. That was 26 years ago.

Yesterday.....went to the hospital with Dan to see his aunt. She had some nasal surgery a week ago. Then her nose started bleeding during the night on Wednesday. It was pouring out. She lost half a pint the EMTs estimated by what was in the bed, bedroom, bathroom that came to take her to the hospital. They put a balloon up her nose and inflated it at the hospital and kept her for 36 hours to monitor. She's 88 and lives alone. Has no children. No siblings. Just Dan. Dan took her home today. We need to check on her tomorrow. She has some neighbors that check in on her daily. She refuses to move to an assisted living home.
I hate hospitals.

Many many years ago I worked for my brother in law who had a side business of web hosting and managing peoples websites. I was involved in the website creation and management. After he sold the company, I left. I haven't really done much with websites in 20 years since. A friend knew this and recently asked me to make her a website. "Sure no problem." I'm just fumbling around with it. I'm so out of touch with it. Very slow process on Wordpress. Regretting I said I would do it. I can, just going to take forever.

Every “update” to every OS, program, and app requires relearning something. I don’t like change for change’s sake, but young developers have to invent “problems” to solve to justify their salaries. What we are left with is a big goulash of programs that are incompatible with each other and hostile to the end user. I feel your pain.

I've never personally used it, but I know someone who does. It seems like every two three weeks her website on Godaddy runs so slow, and always getting timed out. She was constantly on with tech support, and all they did was push for her to upgrade. They wouldnt, and say couldn't, tell her what the problem was. Every Friday now she clears the cache and updates and it still runs slow on her from time to time. I see her struggles and now reading this, makes me positive I'll never try and run my own website.

Matthew Perry found dead in a hot tub. 54 years old. WTH
“Friends” star Mathew Perry was found dead Saturday in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home, law enforcement sources said.
Authorities responded about 4 p.m. to his home, where he was discovered unresponsive. The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, did not cite a cause of death. There was no sign of foul play, the sources added.
Los Angeles Police Department’s robbery-homicide detectives are investigating the death.
Perry, the son of actor John Bennett Perry and Suzanne Marie Langford, onetime press secretary of Canadian Prime Minister Piere Trudeau, was born in 1969 and grew up between Montreal and Los Angeles after his parents separated when Perry was 1.

I got a message from a friend about this. He’s had a long history of drug and alcohol addiction, use and abuse.
My favorite movie that he did was called “Fools Rush In” (1997). About a Connecticut Yankee marrying a beautiful girl (Salma Hayek) from Mexico.
But most of the press that he’s received the last 10 years have been largely negative. So sad.

My apartment complex hired some joker to “pressure wash” the buildings and fences in the complex. So naturally they came over to start three days ahead of schedule on a rainy Sunday morning. The idiot with long greasy hair and tat sleeves starts spraying in a ground floor hallway and pressure washes the fire alarm control box. Loudest sirens and buzzers I have ever heard all activated. AFD responds, everyone come running out of their apartments in their robes and t-shirts (no attractive women live in my complex). Just a joke of an alarm clock to start everyone’s day off.

Dan is still sick. The coughing!!! ick. Doctor says he not contagious. I think I mentioned he has bronchitis. Still, not taking chances, I'm sleeping in the middle ones bed.
Today I work outside. Supposed to hit 54. I mulched the buhjeezes out of the leaves in the front yard, crosscutting the lawn 3 times. Today I tackle the back yard. It's 5 inches deep in spots. It's half the size as the front yard because of the pool/patio, but more leaves. The bad news. There are still a lot of leaves yet to fall. This will not be my last venture outside. I love fall, but when the temps are a little warmer. I can handle mid-50's but a week or two from now, the f'n 40's is going to be rough. Dan better get well soon and start helping around the house, or I'm showing him the door. haha ;)

Go full bore Perry Mason on them, then toss in some Matlock. I mean as long as they learn what you are teaching, the delivery is irrelevant. Spice it up with some saucy case files, like US vs. Flynn or Flint. I believe if I was in law school, with you as a teacher I would not be bored.

I'm trying to buy Xmas gifts and I have absolutely no clue what to buy the kids. I've been on those Buzzeed sites that pop up with titles like "25 things people don't know how they lived without these products" and other similar titles. Been all over Amazon. Been looking at articles on upcoming Black Friday deals. 100% clueless. Clothes, shoes, jackets, belts, makeup. Yeah, that's easy But I want to get them each at least one fun and unique item that they are like, "wow! "Doesn't have to be expensive just something to surprise them. The little one is getting a turn table for her vinyl record albums, plus a few albums. The older two...clueless.
I spent two hours looking this morning.
I did put something on my list though. A milk frother (https://a.co/d/dMosEH2) and a hot water bottle. (https://a.co/d/7e6TgJd). I would love to slip into bed and not freeze. A hot water bottle slipped in an hour before I go to bed sounds really great for my feet thatare so cold in the winter. Plus, it's so old school and I'm just thinking it would be cool.

Dan got a Z-pack, hoping to knock the bronchitis out of him. Not normally prescribed for it, but Dan said he wants to try anything. Plus he's sounding worse. He's starting to feel worse in his sinus/head/throat. He says the next step is I take him out back and put him out of his misery like an old sick dog.

My friends date was terrible. She texted me yesterday morning "Shitshow"
I texted back and she didn't respond. Then I texted to come over for bagels and coffee. She and her son came over.
30 minutes into dinner they had differing opinions on politics, the Israeli Gaza conflict, covid (he's an anti vaxer). She figured the night was shot anyways, so she asked his thoughts on abortion.
The waiter stopped by shortly after setting their meals down to see if they needed anything else and Barb said,, "Just the check." Hahaha, midmeal.
Her son thanked us for the bagel and coffee and jogged home. Barb hung out with us for a few hours, then we all went shopping. M needs to dress shop. We have a very nice mall nearby and the three of us had a fun day. It was nice spending time with her.
And as I finish typing this post. I hear Dan is out of bad. The coughing continues. UGH. I know he's tired of it. But so am I. Please may it end soon.

Well my good day died.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones died this morning. Mrs. Jones died on the dirt road, laying in the sun, and Mr. Jones, distraught, got locked into a life and death fight with two younger males who decided to take advantage of the brumation time to move into the swamp, and while Mr. Jones put up one hell of a fight, he succumbed to his injuries. He killed one, and mortally wounded the other before he crawled onto the bank and died. Sir watched over them until friends of his, and the Jonses helped scare the other alligators away, so Sir could carry them to be properly buried. Dad gave him permission to use the empty part of the yard closest to the swamp to bury them. Damn, I loved them, even when they would scare me. Fond memories and pictures of me pet patting them when I was a toddler. They were gentle giants who were more interested in the fish people caught than eating the people fishing.

We get no cell coverage at all there. Sometimes we can connect to the neighbors wifi, but usually it's not good enough
We use hotspot when traveling in the RV. We just changed our plan from 15GB to 50 GB hotspot data. No change in cost. In fact, with this top level plan, we not only get the 50GB data hotspot, but with our AARP membership we get $10 off per line. So we went from $200 for the four of us to $160. The little one will be getting an iPhone for Xmas, Dan's old one and he gets the new model. With 5 on the plan we go from $40/person to $35/person
I'm so sorry to hear about your babies WB. Hugs to you and your family.

They were funny. Dad has pics of me napping on the bank of the slough (pronounced sloo) with him fishing and the two alligators just napping and sunning. One pic of me as a toddler in my state of returning to nature, riding Mr.Jones, who my mom and dad swore that the old alligator was happy. It makes me sad, but they were as much a part of nature as I am, and everyone in the area swears up and down that ninety percent of the alligators are kin to the Jones. I mean there are other cool alligators humanized in the area, but those two were the law and peacekeeping evil snapping turtle slayers. I called my wife and we ordered some simple marble tombstones for them. Thank you Ms.Slave, Sir salvaged the two dead males Mr. Jones fought and there will be gumbo tomorrow night for the memorial service.

I think after your first encounter with them, you would have grown attached. They did play pranks, like sneaking around you, and then hissing when they are a good distance away, or if you were sunning in the yard they would plop down besides you. But mostly too old to be dangerous. There was only one person they attacked, but he lived. Some idiot was acting brave in front of his girl out there and started muck walking near Mrs.Jones last clutch of eggs. Witnesses said she gave him plenty of warnings to move on, but he was being an idiot, so she knocked him down and dragged him away, up the bank, and into the road before letting him go. Of course the local police wanted to put her down, but since she did not draw blood, they left her alone. Ticketed the guy for pestering nesting gators. He was lucky she wasn't in the mood to kill him. But other than that, they were everyone's friends. Though there is that one time Mr. Jones got a bit frisky, stealing girls bathing suit tops. But in his defense they were colored like what he would eat.

I decided to move in for a close up shot. I kept moving closer...gotta get just the right shot

Happy to tell you all that I got this case taken care of. I was so fucking worried, because the defense attorney has had Covid twice this year. She was hospitalized, and she has the long Covid now. So we have not been able to do anything on this case, but there were all these pretrial deadlines that were not observed, and we are in Federal court. And there’s nothing worse than angry Federal judge.
So she leaned on the adjuster we got the case settled. The clients are okay with everything, and we’re going to be fine. But that was a close one. Much too close for comfort. I got a late order from the judge at quitting time. He canceled all of the hearings and deadlines and the pre-trial scheduling order. I just have 30 days to get all the paperwork finished now.

Everybody having earth shattering problems with health, weather issues, and family, so I feel a bit self conscious complaining about something so trivial, but I just swore off salads for the foreseeable future.
I had a container of "constellation" tomatoes for salads. I bought this literally four days ago and already two were moldy, so I wont eat anymore. Thankfully the container was nearly empty. Right after that, I cut off a part of a head of lettuce, and saw a small brownish area in the inner layers of the lettuce. I though it weird that it was going bad that deep into the lettuce even though it was still fresh looking on the outer leaves. On closer inspection, I realized that what had actually happened was I cut a worm in half that was living on the inside of the lettuce...
A..

Last two days I've woken up with severe back pain that traveled down my leg to the sole of my left foot. I can hardly for about a hour of exercise and a few pills.
I got a lot of relief during week's test of the spinal cord stimulator. When they "pulled the plug" on the test December 16th, things have been getting a lot worse.
I'm so grateful that the scheduled surgery was moved up two weeks to Monday. That's when a permanent device is implanted. However, it won't be activated until a week after the surgery.
So while today I'm posting in WRMD I know there's a lot of relief coming my way.

Sorry to hear that love. It's a shame they couldnt just leave the temporary device in place until the surgery. That would make more sense to me.
Maybe you'll get a notice saying they can bump it up another two weeks. Can always hope.💋

Leaving the test device on longer would put me at risk for infection with two wires going into my back. Also there's.a risk of a wire breaking off with surgery required to dig it out. That would push the permanent implant back even more.
As for pushing it up sooner... the surgery is this Monday. :D. I need to heal up for a week before the device can be turned on. Things are moving along very fast. Also I had to stop taking some of my meds before the surgery and starting today I have some other meds to start using.
Thanks for the good wishes tho'. I'm quite happy at how fast things started moving and that cancellation that moved me up two weeks (as you wished for me).

Should ask them about a TENS device. I know people with arthritis in the lower backs use them and they help a lot with the aches and pains. Granted your issue is a lot different, but it could have helped a lot during the wait.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain. A TENS unit is a small device that delivers the current at or near your nerves to block or change your perception of pain. Healthcare providers use TENS to treat a range of conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendinitis and fibromyalgia

SCS (spinal cord stimulation) is not a TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). They are not the same, nor are the costs. A TENS unit, which can purchased over the counter, operates outside the body while an SCS is internal and placed by a doctor in a procedure room under fluoroscopy. A trial is required prior to permanent placement at which time the battery is placed under the skin. It's like a pacemaker battery. SCS is light years ahead of TENS, which has been around for 30 or 40 years.

I was just saying that maybe it would help reduce the pain until he gets the procedure, and he can probably get a free one through the VA.
Sorry. I'll keep my big stupid mouth shut about it.

Post by: msslave on November 25, 2023, 07:07:06 PM
No I appreciate your advice Shiela. A TENS unit might help but I can hold out another week. If I had to wait for the initial December 18th date it may have to been an option.
It just those first couple hours after waking up that are the worst. I did have the daughter bring my walker in to help me get around.

WRMD We had a wonderful time, but a cold bug went through all of us. It hit yesterday. We're all stuffy headed and just feeling drained of all energy. Some with sore throats. Dan who has been sick for a month is better, and his bronchitis has vacated the premises.
Going to rest and recuperate today. Hopefully be on later. I have a ton of new posts to look through. I'm sure there are some great ones. Can't wait to get to them, but will have to wait for now.

My son can only be politefully described as a “pain in the ass.“ He stayed up all night last night playing video games in the living room. Then he went to bed and is sleeping all day in the living room. So I’m basically locked in my bedroom with my phone and coffee. I really wish she would either pay his fair share of rent or go find a place of his own to live. But this sponging off dad stuff has got to stop. He’s 25 fucking years old.
He has ASD and ADHD. I don’t think he is capable of supporting himself, but he can do something. He used to pay rent sporadically during the COVID years. He does pay his phone, gas, and car insurance. But he is just everywhere, all the time.

As you know, the oldest lives here. I love it. But, she sleeps until noon. Hangs out in her bedroom until 4:00. She might come down.
Everynow and then I lose it. "Come fucking socialize with us once in a while. Hanging out in your room is ridiculous."

See, he doesn’t have a bedroom. I rented this apartment two years ago to live here by myself. It’s a one bedroom apartment with 587 ft². Barely enough for one person. Not enough for two. And certainly not enough for two people with completely different schedules and lifestyles.
My fantasy is to win the lottery and rent a place in a “seniors only” complex that doesn’t let people under 60 stay there. So then I will have my self imposed solitude. But it sounds good.

Mine is $1300 a month, plus $100 in extras that really aren’t extra. Like having trash dumpsters. I pay about $100/mo for electricity. So the basics are about $1500/mo. Austin. Everything here is so fucking expensive.

My wife's son lives here in town but works two jobs and is self sufficient.
First change was as I was becoming more infirm the daughter chose to come here for 4 months to help out. And help out she has. She drives me to my appointments and helps me with shopping. Also she really pitches in helping with cleaning and laundry.
Hearing your stories makes me even more grateful for the help she's giving us.

I mentioned in the College Football thread that I plan to watch every college bowl game this year. There was only one today, Western Kentucky and Old Dominion in the Famous Toastery Bowl in Charlotte, NC. I decided, for no particular reason, to root for Western Kentucky.
At the end of the first quarter WKU trailed 21-0 and early in the second quarter it was 28-0. Western Kentucky turned the ball over five times in the game, but they also scored 3 touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The last one, with 19 seconds left, tied the game.
In overtime I got to see two plays before they broke away to commercial while an injured player was tended to. Only problem was, they never returned to the game. An announcement onscreen said viewers should switch over to ESPN2 to watch the conclusion of overtime. Why? So ESPN could start the Monday Night Football pregame show. This was 3 freakin' hours before the NFL game.
Only one problem with that. I had the game recorded on DVR and I couldn't just flip over to another channel. I had to go online to find out that Western Kentucky blocked Old Dominion's field goal and kicked their own field goal to win the game 38-35 in the first overtime. It was the fourth-biggest comeback win in college football history.
Up yours, ESPN.

I just had the young boss sending me frantic phone calls and emails, till 11 o’clock last night. Yesterday was his first day back at the office, in more than a month. So naturally, we have to do *everything* we haven’t done since late October in one night.
We have a firm holiday party tonight (hence man child’s appearance at the office yesterday). I don’t know how festive it will be, but I plan to be there. I don’t think the Grinch is going to fire me six days before Christmas. Who knows? Our office manager (who I haven’t seen all year) might show up.

I went over to pick up my son, and he told me he was completing the written essay portion of the LSAT online. “I’ll be finished in about 15 minutes.“ So I sat down and enjoyed a Scotch. 2 1/2 hours later he came out and said that the program had crashed repeatedly, and he had to restart every time that occurred. The “written supplement” does not affect the LSAT score, and most admission committees don’t even read them, because how many times can you read “surviving Covid gave me compassion for others, and a desire to serve humanity” without throwing up?
Anyway, by that time it was rather late. And I didn’t want to walk in to a party where half the people had already left and the other half were drinking heavily. So I missed the Christmas party. We went to an all you can eat sushi bar. It was pretty good.

Damn, man. How about next year you fly out here and have some scotch and rye with me, and we can have our own party?
But instead of me posting a wall of text griping about the terrible week I am having I will make it a bullet point list and explain each.
Friday night - Wife took everyone out of the house, continuing the tradition of crashing at a relatives (used to be my mom and dad's house) to work on Christmas in secret. Fine. I can fend for myself, I have a spear, and shiny rocks to make fire. But an hour before I clocked out, my cousin (1 of 3) calls to ask me to give her older sister the key's to my great grandmothers house in Mobile. The fuck?
The house in Mobile is sparsely furnished, no power or water, and needs some minor repairs. Why do I have the key? because my grandaunt is a fucking lush who not only sank her BMW into a lake while drunk driving, but lost one of the key's to the house, so my grandmother opted for me to have the other.
I asked her why did they want to crash in Mobile when four families are gathering like a dark and dangerous storm here in the Cola, and she said that it was because of my mom. I asked if she knew my mom passed earlier this year, and they knew.
Apparently, my oldest cousin found out my mom donated to the Sheriff's department, among the many other charities she supported across the socio-political spectrum. My oldest is so anti-police that she gets the shivers if she hears sirens, despite having a squeaky clean record. Cleaner than mine at least. Last time my mom and cousin spoke before she died, she called my mom a racist, right wing psycho. My mom called her to tell her she was going into the hospital and that she loved her. So now the twisted cunt wants to walk Bellingrath gardens with her husband and girlfriend instead of being here.
I did not care if she came or not, but shes not getting the key to the house over there. She can go fuck herself with a diamond studded, barbed, flaming drilldo.
Saturday.
Wife called, needed me to transfer some more money into the joint account, and I did. My Uncle flew in, and needed a ride to my grandmothers house, so I did. He said not one word to me. On my way home my Beast got a flat, and I had to freeze my balls off changing it.
Sunday.
I went to church alone. I still have a huge bag of problems to sort out, and sitting in the church during services helps alot. My cousins all came to get the key, and sat on my porch waiting for me. I drove by and went to lunch at a chinese buffet. Fuck them.
Monday.
I get into work and the fucking Apocalypse was going on, as a line of Semi trucks a mile long was waiting to unload. Apparently everyone collectively forgotten the huge orders of new machines that was ordered in October was coming today, and the service crew had a hell of a time getting it stored. But I had to go out along with others with clipboards had to inspect them to see if they matched the order to the "t."
fun.
Yesterday.
Bohemian Clusterfuck at work. People came to pick up their equipment. I ordered pizza, and dealt with more drama, as my mom's side of the family are going to tear each other apart over my cousins bullshit. Apparently they decided to gain access to the house in less than legal ways, found out that it only has a couch, chair, and rug, no beds, no heat or water. Then they had the balls to call me to ask if I would turn the power and water on for them. I said no, and thats when the shit hit the fan. My grandmother and her sister are trying to sell the place, and have no interest in turning the lights on and water on for just a couple of weeks. And their mentally defunct asses had no back up plan, so they are having to crash with friends here.
Today.
I need to get off my ass on my lunch break and get my wife's Christmas presents. But what do I get her, when she says she doesn't want anything, and isn't dropping subtle or obvious hints? Its killing me. So thats where we are now, thirty minutes before I go to lunch, and my week looks pretty bleak from where I am sitting.

I was doing news at the radio station and I spent the night at a house fire then went to the station to write up the story. I'm lucky she didn't use her new knife to cut my balls off.

I went to VS and Sephora's and was hopelessly overwhelmed. But then I stood there, and took a deep breath in the perfumes. Then it hit me. The perfume she wore on our first date. Even though it was one of those perfumes mommas give their daughters, I found one that smelled similar, but more mature. So she's getting some nice Lingerie and Perfume. Thanks, MsSlave, dont worry, I gave my wife on our first Christmas one of those things that women wear to carry a baby in the front and some lotion she hated.

Most of the office is out today, I came in because I would rather push papers and have a fresh slate next year than try to herd my drunken aunt and her friends around trying to find an open bingo hall that has a bar in it (Spoiler alert: There are none in town. There are bars that host bingo nights, but no bingo parlors that have bars.) And I am not getting into the dick waving contest between both sides of my wife's family's male relatives and my side's. I do not care how cool your new rifle and bow is. Until you hunted a boar down with nothing but a spear and piss filled pants like me, no amount of big game hunting puts you on my level. Also my Mauser 8mm. rifle is better than anything they got, and its older than most of them. So I am pushing all the papers today.

So sorry to hear that, Pornhubby. I hope and pray you and your doctor(s) are proactive about finding out what's going on!
I pray most days for MSSLAVE, and will add you to my list, and I have to say even though I "lurk" more than I contribute, I feel so comfortable with all of you. I honestly would be hard pressed to name any other group that is so caring and nurturing to it's members. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful Holiday Season and a better New Year.
What ruined my day (year, actually) is trivial compared to all the physical hardships so many endure. I am always impressed, especially by MSSLAVE, by their positive attitude, and drive to move forward.
However, after 35+ years of devotion, caring, etc., for my wife, I was devastated to find out it wasn't that my wife no longer wanted to have sex, she just didn't want to have it with me. For nine years, I tried everything I knew and never gave up loving her, but when I found emails going back to 2014 proving she was very "active" with another person, and worse, shared the most intimate details of our marriage with him, I was/am .... lost. Completely, and utterly lost.
I hope and wish all of you well, but I don't see a good way out...

Well Blue Eyes. Thanks much for your prayers and support. This group did much to keep my spirits up during some of the more trying times. Thanks for being part of that.
Now I hear about your problems at home. As it's a long term affair I fear that she's not likely to quit and come back and be true to you. Seems you have two choices ...toss her out or try to work things out. This is a safe place to talk about this or tell us you just want to vent.

I certainly would not call that trivial. I've been cheated on, and I've been the unfaithful one. I know both sides of this. I will say, that cheating is one thing, but that she shares so much about your marriage is an unforgivable offence in my book. Most cheating is physical, but once that started, it's clearly gone way beyond that.
So many things are running through me head. Most of it is revenge ideas, like clearing out the bank account and just leaving. Wrapping up divorce papers with copies of all the emails and giving them to her for Christmas. Hell, I'll send you emails with dirty pics for her to "accidentally" find.
This is just me looking from the outside in, and I have no idea what this is doing to you emotionally, nine years is a shocking amount of time.
It will be painful, but be sure you copy all those emails or forward them to yourself so you have something in case you feel she has gone well beyond forgiveness and this goes to divorce.
Whatever happens, I hope karma gives her a good kick in the twat!
My heart goes out to you love💋❤

Blue Eyes, give yourself a Christmas gift by ridding yourself of toxic people in your life.
I’ve been married 4.5 times. I joined this board back in 2008, when my 3rd marriage was falling apart, with a serial cheater who could not keep her legs together. She confessed this year that leaving me and the kids was the biggest mistake she ever made. And it was.
Give yourself peace, and give her space. You will be fine. Life goes on. Trust me. It will.

PH is a Rhodes Scholar of love. No lie, or sarcasm. Blue Eyes, its best to rip the bandage off, or the wound will fester. I have watched many marriages fall in my short time on earth, and Each one makes me look into myself to see if I am not doing the right thing. But the secret my late mother taught me was: It does not matter how hard you fight in a relationship, if you are the only one trying to make it work. Sometimes it is more honorable to just walk away, than to try to make it work with someone who was never in it in the first place. She sounds like an emotional vampire, keeping you around only for the security of the relationship, but without any of the intimacy it needs to keep you motivated. Best gift you can give yourself is to hand her the papers and cut all ties to her. If you have young children, then that is another issue, but honestly, for your sanity and emotional well being, just go. It will hurt you, drag you to the depths of despair, and make you hate yourself, but when you pull yourself up out of the muck, you will find yourself in a better place than you were when you were with her.

Thanks to all that replied to my "bad day."
What makes me wonder about her feelings towards me is that her "friend" died in December of 2021. Having just confirmed that something was going on all those years ago, but finding out she can't run to him makes me wonder would she still be here if he were alive.
I don't want to keep analyzing all of the "what ifs," but even when confronted with the emails, she claims nothing sexual ever happened and they were just old school friends who went through similar life experiences and when recently (2013 or 2014) being reunited, she was just trying to help him cope with the death of his son. Based on the emails, I see that part is true, but the "intimacies" they shared tell me they got pretty freakin' close, sex or not. (In one email he says, "It's funny, the one thing we really have in common is oral sex" and she said "Yeah, we're bad aren't we?")
That and implying I didn't "do it" for her as well as personal family secrets she shared tell me she continues to lie.
He's no longer a threat, but she's made no effort to convince me I'm her one and only.
Again, not sure where this is heading. I know I've worked too hard (60-70 hour weeks for 45+ years) to file divorce papers knowing I'll loose at least 1/2 of what we own. I'm 75, and knowing our laws in PA, and history of similar court cases, I not only would loose a ton of stuff upfront, I'd probably wind up paying her alimony. I don't mean to be so focused on money, but I'll be damned if I'm giving up everything I worked for because of her indiscretions.
If she'd just say, yes it happened, I shouldn't have, I'm sorry, I could put it ALL behind us and move forward..
Again, thanks to this awesome family for your support!

So sorry to hear about your wife's attachment to her "friend" Blue_eyes. There are many more wiser people on this board than me but even if there was no physical activity it is still "emotional infidelity" and that is just as bad in my book. Hope things work out for you.

Nothing huge like some of you are dealing with, but it feels as if Allan has been a bit distant since Christmas. I may just be inside my own head, but I feel like something is up.
I feel like either a breakup or ring is coming, and I don't want either one.
I am a bit scared. I don't want to lose him.

More than likely it's just post holiday let down. You guys were pretty busy with both families and life is pretty crazy during the holidays. Also there's his PTSD. Just give him some space. Besides if he did try to break up his mom would have a say in that. :emot_kiss:

I call it holiday jetlag.
I feel it too, but it seems a bit more than usual. I thought we had reached a point where he can talk to me about these things. I'm not forcing him, but letting him know I'm there, and to me it seems that gets him more distant.
Think I'm being a nag? I haven't felt this way about somebody in a very very long time. Amanda and shannon are telling me to back off him for a bit, and I know he needs his space, but it's so difficult to not let him know I'm there.

When KB went down in February, I found that I had a lot of extra time on my hands. And lube. I started playing around on the Internet, and ended up getting involved with a game called “Match 3, Palaces & Puzzles.” It was just a little fantasy game with really great graphics, but as I built my kingdom and made friends with the other players, it became a very pleasant respite.
The game was owned by a Chinese company called OneMT. And they never fully got committed to promoting the game. It only had about a quarter million players worldwide. Their best seller has 14.5 million.
Two months ago, they announced they were shutting the game down. And today was the day. They pulled the server. You just get an error message when you try to open the app.
So kind of sad about that. I don’t really feel like starting over again with another game. RIP.

I feel you. I had a game that I would play off and on, and I was curious about it, as a friend I used to play with told me there were major changes, so I dug out the external HD it was on and decided to log in again, and the game went poof. I enjoyed the quests and friends I made. Hit me right in the heart. I hope you come across a new game that lets you unwind.

I went to log in to my cable company account to download my bill, just like I do every month, but the cable company had locked me out of my account--because THEY had a data breach (and not for the first time). My only option is to click on 'Change Password'.
Annoyed but not surprised, I clicked the button. The next screen said, "Enter the six-digit number in the email we sent you."
Easy enough, EXCEPT--I didn't get an email from them. Not then and not the next day when I tried again. I know the email address is valid because that's where they sent the notice of the data breach.
Now my only choices are 'Continue' and 'Verify Another Way'. 'Continue' is grayed out because there is no six-digit number entered. 'Verify Another Way' brings up a box with a phone number to call.
I called the number. Took 9 minutes to get to a real person, then a 20-minute wait for a supervisor. Almost two hours later, I was finally able to access my main account, but I still needed to change the password on the other four usernames I have with the ISP. I could do that from the main account, but it took another hour.
Of course now my email program can't check for email because all the passwords have changed. Another hour carefully typing 12-digit passwords into the email program.
Finally got through all that and downloaded my bill, only to see a notice that, as of January 1, my bill is going up $26 a month (a 12% increase). Happy f*cking new year.
I have two main beefs with cable service. One is that I have to pay for 200+ channels when I actually watch, maybe, twelve of them. And the one I watch the most has been dropped from my package, so if I want to continue watching that channel, I'll have to pay for a higher level package (over 300 channels that I wouldn't watch).
The second is the fees they tack on. My channel package by itself is $138, but by the time all the extra FEES are added, it comes to around $210 a month.
I'm thinking it's finally time to cut the frickin' cord. I've been screwed by the cable company long enough. Of course, that means buying a couple of Roku boxes (or something similar) because none of my TVs have internet capability.

Holy crap! Love how technology is saving time and making lives easier.
I had a similar problem with dish network many moons ago. I signed up for a special package that gave me like 50 channels. In the agreement it said it wouldnt change, but if course two years later it did. They told me, it didnt change, they just discontinued the package. So no matter what, I was gonna pay more, but the cheapest didnt have certain channels like food network. Would have had to pay over $100 more just for that one channel. I canceled on that very same phone call.
I now have Google chromecast and cast netflix and prime from my phone. I also have the digit antenna so I can watch local tv. I dont miss cable or Dish as all.
Wouldn't you really only need one stick? Just switch TVs it's in?

I have Prime $15/mo. Netflix $15/mo. Fubo $25/mo. No cable. All wireless. So I drop $55/mo. That’s about $130 less than DISHTV used to charge me for a bunch of stuff I never watched.

Why were you trying to wean yourself off them? One of those stubborn man things? Dont want to rely on meds? Or was it a side affect thing? I had a psych med that caused me to shake, Tardive Dyskinesia, so I stopped taking it. I couldn't stop crying at everything. The smallest thing caused me to have a breakdown.
As Nicky says, dont mess with your meds.

So sorry to hear that, PH! The meds they give us today can really throw us for a loop, but please don't start "self medicating." My wife does that and I wind up having to get her back on track. You definitely need to talk to your physician and let him know that there HAS TO BE a better drug for your condition, and if he/she won't budge, insist on a second opinion.
The bad part is today, so much of our healthcare is controlled by the insurance companies and big pharma. If our government could ever get them out of bed together, we'd all be better off.
Fractured ribs are the worse, followed closely by broken toes, so be careful, and hold off wanking for a week or two.
Take care, PH!

Thanks. But that’s crazy talk. LOL.
I can’t roll over in bed with the rib, so I’m stuck on my back all night. Hating that.
I've hurt my ribs a few times. Only once was I Xrayed and was told it was a slight fracture. It felt more than slight. 2 weeks later was my allergy season and every sneeze felt like a Muhammed Ali punch to the midsection. Heel soon, lover.

Side effects included dizziness, vertigo, short term memory loss, and talking shit. LOL.
I had trouble walking from my car to the office.
Side effects are horrid things. Hate it when the side effect is almost as bad as what the med is trying to help with.
"Are you depressed and suicidal? Here take this antidepressant, side effect is increased suicidal thoughts.!.!" Like WTF!!
Just vertigo alone would make me want off those as well. I know it isn't for everybody, but have you looked into other means? Holistic remedies perhaps? Some helps some doesn't. I do both holistic and prescription drugs. I can quickly tell if I stop taking either. The holistics is mostly to help with side effects, I have found my apothecaries remedy for MS isn't as effective as the prescriptions. I fall alot more.
Sleep in a recliner. It'll keep you from rolling over. It's not gonna be the best sleep, but it cant be any worse that what your getting right now anyways. My dad slept in his recliner for a month after he broke vertebrae in his neck.

The caber toss is a traditional Scottish athletic event in which competitors toss a large tapered pole called a "caber." It is normally practised at the Scottish Highland Games. In Scotland, the caber is usually made from a larch tree, and it can be between 16–20 feet tall and weigh 90–150 pounds.

The "Kber" toss is a traditional Kristensboard athletic event in which participants toss their own pole large or small . It is normally practiced at the pc or laptop in the comfort of the participants home , and is much more fun than the Scottish version. Am I right or what ?

While at breakfast we were informed that my daughter's husband will be coming here from Northern New York to pick her up and take her back home next weekend. Actually he'll stay a week or so before heading back.
It's been such a help having her here these past few months. What a help she's been.
Now that I'm doing so much better with my spinal cord stimulator she feels it's time to get back to her own life. She has been a big help to both of us. Above that, just being able to spend so much time with her has been golden.
There will still be their regular visits, usually a couple times a year, but this extended time has been a blessing.

Yes, it's a two sided coin. I'm doing better and daughter has done much to help wife and I cope with the problems aging brings. That's the happy part.
Other than short visits a couple times a year the togetherness we've had these few months have been so precious. There's no doubt there will be some tears shed on the day of they finally head home.

I'm so glad you had all this time with her. Even I'm tearing up thinking about her heading home💋

Can't really say it was a "day ruiner" but this is the best place to post this.
After three months here, my daughter has headed to her home in Northern New York. Her husband and dog showed up last weekend to ferry her home.
I wrote in "What Made My Day's how much help she was to us. Today we said our fond good byes and had our final hugs and kisses.
I was afraid I might cry but I held it together. They'll be back for another visit in a few months. This was different as daughter spent so much time and helped us both so much. Tho' her leaving was sad, I remain so grateful for the time she gave us and the help we received. She belongs in her own home with hubby and the dog.

Daughter will be able to get her favorite Taco Bell tonight. There's none near where they live. It's like her last chance for TB :D
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: Pornhubby on February 04, 2024, 05:16:32 PM
I live in Austin, with a taco truck on almost every corner. So it does pain me to remember that in a 2018 Harris Poll, Taco Bell—known for its increasingly outrageous menu items that certainly push the boundaries of what can be considered Mexican food—came out on top as the country's “favorite Mexican restaurant.” TB isn’t Mexican. It certainly isn’t Tex-Mex. But who am I to tell northern folks what Mexican food is?
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: msslave on February 04, 2024, 05:25:53 PM
It's what my daughter likes, yet the Taco Bells in her area don't serve her favorite item that's available here.
The first time she and her hubby came to Mexico with us she was totally upset with the food there. She was expecting the commercial excuse of Mexican food served up north.
I explained that we on the coast and in a fishing village. That's what you can expect by the seaside. Once she understood that she was fine the rest of the trip :D

I have been to Mexico a few dozen times. My law firm used to have an office in Ciudad Victoria. It has many different regional cuisines. Enchiladas and tacos are border foods. The frozen margarita was invented in Dallas, Texas. So things do get bastardized.
I like the fellows who sell “fish on a stick,” in many of the seaside resorts. Just a simple tilapia roasted over coals. So good.
Of course Mexico has a lot of wealthy people now, and drug lords. They want fancy gourmet food just like everyone else. Our last trip, to Nizuc, was more sushi and waugu than chili rellenos.

The oldest restaurant in Fort Worth was the Original Mexican on Camp Bowie. It opened in 1926, and had the Roosevelt Special on the menu. Named for what FDR ate there in 1936.
Alas, it lost its lease and moved to the north side last year. People say it isn’t as good. If I am going to the north side, I’m going to eat at Joe T. Garcia’s anyway.

Never had tex mex. I do enjoy TB. I wish we had a good tex mex place here. Mexican Village is about it. Coach, have you had it? Has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. My sister wanted it anytime someone said, "Where should we go eat." haha The last few years the meat has seemed excessively greasy. But I will still get a Super Nacho.
I had a burrito with heavy on the rice, lighter on therefried beans and all the other fixings. It's my new favorite.
Staying on topic....What ruined my day..... Two kids in the house are sick. I told them to stay upstairs. Do whatever they want. Watch TV, text, sleep. Just do not come downstairs. I do not want to be sick. Little shits are driving us crazy. We're their servants all of the sudden. We're making them food, taking it up. Setting it on a table for them. Carrying down their dirty dishes. At least the oldest is taking care of the youngest up stairs, so I appreciate that.
The middle one was going to come home from college, but she backed out when I told her that her sisters were sick. So missed out on time with her too. Hopefully next weekend.
I've washed my hands at least 50 times today.

Morning got off to a terrible start. Coffee tasted horrible. We had problems with the water the other day... bright orange. That cleared up in a few hours.
This morning there was a terrible chemical taste that ruined our morning coffee. Two grumpy old people in the house until I went to the store and got some bottled water. That fixed things for now. Hopefully the situation will clear up soon.

It's a temporary thing but unseasonable. In the spring ice inside the water mains let's loose and brings down rust with it. Usually goes away soon. This is the first time we got a bad taste tho'. Usually just nasty rust color.
Here we are first of February and getting spring problems due to above freezing temps.
Oh yeah...wood ticks are out too.

Charcoal or activated carbon reacts with a lot of chemicals neutralizing them, this includes ones that make water taste bad, it neutralizes good/bad/neutral chems not all chems though.

The military uses NBC (nuclear biological chemical) suits that are loaded up with charcoal, and the decontamination packs. I remember in basic training that when we did that training, everybody was black by the end of the day. Uniforms, from the suit, hands and faces from the decon packs.
Title: Re: What RUINED your day today?
Post by: Vela Nanashi on February 11, 2024, 07:13:02 PM
I think the only time activated carbon/charcoal is a problem is if one is taking a medication that actually is required for one to function properly, as most medications will be neutralized if one consumes the charcoal (not if one filters water through it though, just if you eat it).

Meanwhile, my man child boss took a case to trial against my suggestions. He accused me of being “scared of the courthouse.” I advised him that you don’t try good cases. You try bad ones. Perhaps the other side sees something in your case that you have not fully appreciated.
So he spent two months getting ready for this. Spent $250K, and untold hours of attorney and legal assistant time. And lost. Laid an egg. Zero bucks recovered.

Be like me. Move to Mexico where most of the country does not do the time change. Right now, only the states of Baja California and Quintana Roo and the cities along the Mexico - US border in Texas and New Mexico change. I livie in Baja California Sur (the part of the Baja Peninsula south of 28 degrees north latitude) and we remain on Mountain Standard Time. It is confusing for people who live in Sur and have appointments in BC because there is currently a 2 hour difference between time zones.

I was lucky. My daughter came to hate her mother and decided maybe she'd check me out and we found each other. Now we're best of friends. Son not so much. Not even sure where he's living.

Incumbent politicians love low turn out but for people who care enough to go vote and try to elect people with fresh ideas, it is very disheartening. Newspaper mentioned that many people left the choice for president blank. For both parties.
Were there other candidates on the primary ballot, or was it solely a presidential primary?
Since both Trump and Biden have already won enough delegates to cinch the nomination, a low turnout is very understandable. Our primary is on April 2, and since the ballots only included presidential candidates (and we have closed primaries), I expect a comparably low turnout.

Yes. Candidates for state senate and state representatives and all county offices.

Day ended on a very sour note for us. Just before supper wife fell in the kitchen. She didn't think she was hurt other than a bump on the back of her head
She put an ice pack on and I fixed her something to eat.
A few hours later she went to the bathroom and couldn't get back to her chair. I put a chair just outside the bathroom door and she sat there.
We decided to call for an ambulance as she didn't think she could make it to the car. I hadn't more than hung up the phone when I heard the fire truck. They always get there first. Ambulance with EMTs was only a few minutes behind.
Her heart rate was irregular and blood pressure up and down. They decided she needed to go to the ER. I followed a few minutes later. She was already being attended to. I sat in the waiting room and a doctor came in and said they were running tests, taking pictures etc.
Another hour later the doctor was back. She has a blood clot on her lung. They discussed various treatments with other doctors and I was told they felt the best was medication to break up the clot. That was deemed the safest
I'm still waiting to see her. That won't be until she's moved to the ICU. Hoping for best.

Frickin' squirrels -
I thought by trimming back the tree so the squirrels can no longer get access to my chimney, today I find out that throughout the years they have completely filled our chimney liner with twigs, leaves and assorted things to make their nests. The furnace guy told us we have been lucky that our old furnace had enough force to get some exhaust up the chimney but since we only have the water heater venting up the chimney now, it does not have near enough force. Lucky we have carbon monoxide detectors in place. Tomorrow, a new liner and cap will be installed. I can't imagine how much more of nesting material will be taken out.

Don't have much of a squirrel problem here, they tend to avoid houses, content on showing off running along power lines, and also because we have falcons and hawks in the skies. I volunteered the corner of my backyard to the university to build a nesting platform for them this year, which will have monitoring equipment, Under the most explicit request I could make, that the cameras never point downward to invade my privacy. Never told them why, but I like to be nude in my enclosed backyard the minute the weather doesnt threaten to freeze my twig and berries off.
What ruined my day today?
I had to assist HR in terminating some workers before the big move later this year. This small round of layoffs were merit oriented, as these workers were good people, but being a good person does not equate to being a good worker. Also someone sharked my last Grapico out of my offices mini fridge. I think it was wife and daughters when they came to eat lunch with me earlier. Now I have to leave on break to go buy more. seems petty compared to others problems, but sometimes its the only comfort I can have at work when my face is pressed into the grindstone.

There are people in our neighborhood who feed the squirrels. One even throws peanuts around the base of a couple of trees on my property. I miss the Cooper hawks that, a couple of years ago, thinned the squirrel population out nicely.

Well it looks like it will be awhile yet before I get my wife back home. She's doing well on the medication for the blood clots.
They plan to release her from the hospital Monday but only to go to rehab to build up her strength and balance issues.
Wish I had more details but she's not remembering a lot of what they tell her. Hope I can find out more when I visit her this morning.

I know the feeling. Son took my truck before the accident to help a friend without asking, so that morning I had planned on building a raised herb garden table for the wife, and needed the supplies, and my truck was gone, and a note on the door going into the house how he had to go help a buddy. I check his truck out, and it was out of gas. I was bent. When he got home I forced him to help. Told him if he touches my truck again without permission it would result in his demise.

Wasn't sure if I should put this here or in what made my.day or here. Wife just called as I was getting ready to go see her. I've been with her every day since she went to the hospital over a week ago.
She called.to tell me she's scheduled for PT this afternoon and for me to stay home.
So now I'm feeling guilty about not being there for her. On the other hand I'm a bit relieved as I'm worn out trying to visit wife and trying to keep up with a bit of housework. Something I'm not that good at on my best day.

What ruined my last few weeks...
As you may recall, I had Covid. Thought I wasn't 100% recovered, I thought I was 'recovered enough'. I ended up getting bacterial pneumonia, which was bad enough to get me admitted to the hospital's ICU. I got him yesterday. Still a ways to a recovery. I get short of breath just walking through the house.
Dan was supposed to let Toe know what was going on, but failed big time.
Already tiring just typing out a PM, a message to the moderators, and this post. Still need some recovery. Give me at least another week or so.
Love you all. Missed you all.

Oh, my sweet friend. So sorry to hear this. As you.can expect I've been worried about you and kept watching for you to post. Take your time getting back on the mend.
Don't be too mad at Dan. My wife went to the hospital with blood clots in her lungs. She's doing better but may have to stay in rehab a couple more weeks. What I'm trying to say is I know how hard it is on the spouse. I get home from visiting and just collapse. Dan has the little one to take care of too.
Get better soon and I and the rest of the KB core group will be sending prayers and good wishes your way. Love ya!

I was cold from the weather and rain and wanted a shower to warm-up and just stand under the hot water for 30 minutes. I asked Dan to please make me a cup of coffee for me for when I get out.
The shower was f'n great. Now in my PJs ready to watch Survivor, I come out to the family room and see a steaming cup on the side table waiting for me. I look at Dan and tell him he's the best person ever.
I take a sip of the coffee and realize quickly nothing so rancid has ever passed these lips. (maybe I'm exaggerating a bit).
I didn't have to say a thing, I just gave him a look.. He said , "It's Instant coffee. "
"I hate you. And I take back that you're the best person ever."
"Sorry, tried taking a shortcut and it didn't payoff,"
He is currently making a proper cup.

I drink some coffee a gaming youtuber was selling, "Florida man coffee" its pretty pkay, nothing really noteworthy, nor exotic. I also have started liking Monsters Java. The mean bean tastes more like coffee than the other flavors, but I indulge in the new flavor Irish Cream. I mean energy drinks really are not my thing, but sometimes its easier to drop 2.50 a can than 5.25 for a large Mocha blended with two shots of espresso and french vanilla and english toffee flavors, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.

I went to the pharmacy yesterday, and bought some insulin. New vials are seemingly “stronger” than ones that have been laying around a while. So apparently, I dosed last night and drifted into hypoglycemia while I slept.
As I slept, my mind dreamed that I was having a conversation with an intelligent individual with the gift of elocution. I don’t remember if it was a technical, scientific, or legal argument, but it became quite animated. I woke up, with my son shaking me.
“Dad! Dad! Are you okay?”
“Huh?”
“You were talking to yourself loudly.”
“What was I saying?”
“I don’t know, but you were using a lot of really long words. It sounded like you were dictating a book or something!”
A Dresden Codex through a portal perhaps? Think Interstellar. I told my son to record that, if he ever gets a chance. I would love to hear what I was saying. Even in my low glucose condition, it was freaking me out a little.
It definitely had an encyclopedic feel to it.

I had a strange experience a few days ago. In the morning when I usually take my blood sugars I got a reading of 93. Still within my range but at the very bottom.
Later that afternoon while watching TV, I started feeling dizzy and vision got blurry. I was afraid to stand up even. I had wife get my test kit and got a reading of 62, way low. I took another reading just in case tho' I knew the way I felt it was correct. Yep, next reading was 62
Next step was I had the wife bring me an English Muffin with honey.. wanted to get carbs in me quick. Not anything I've had happen in all the years I've had diabetes. Sure glad my care givers have kept me educated.

Glad you are all alright. I myself have been a bit worse for wear. Was out with my sister Thursday evening, and I wasnt feeling all the best to begin the day. We were out and she wanted somthing to eat. I wasn't really hungry but figured some food might help me feel a bit better. We went to one if our favorite spots, and got sandwiches, and to my sisters surprise, I ordered tea. I shocked even myself with that choice.
About half hour after eating my stomach stared protesting the sandwich, and I needed to get to a bathroom quick. We were about 10 minutes from Dad's at that time, so we just went there.
Sandwich and tea came back up, and I deceide to just stay at Dad's. I laid down on the sofa for a while watching TV, and then back to the bathroom. That was pretty much the rest of that day. The next two were me just moving between the sofa, the bathroom, and my bed. All I had was water, and broth for two days.
Back home now, and feeling loads better. Allan wanted me to go stay with him, but I was already comfy so I stayed. He stopped by each day to visit. I slept through most of it, but Dad enjoyed his company.

I don't let things ruin my day but sure there's problems that crop up.
Last Thursday went to check something on the computer. Arrggg... wouldn't come up, just a gray screen. Tried rebooting a few times with no result. It was Friday afternoon before I could make it to the shop.
They have an interesting.policy. For $99.00 you go to the head of the line. I've never asked what happens if someone else comes in and pays their $99.00. Does that knock me back to second place. :roll:
Anyway after paying my extortion fee I left. I was told it was late in the day Friday and they're only open.a couple hours on Saturday so no doubt Monday before they call me.
Got the call this afternoon. There's a tiny battery on the motherboard. It was running low on power so they put in a new battery. Sain there was no charge. Yay...oh, the $99.00 would be applied to what ever work was done.
So, for my extortion fee my computer was repaired and I got a new battery free. I've always said if you.can fix a problem by throwing money at it, it's not a problem. :D
Now I just have to hook all the cords up again. Not being able to get down on my knees then get back up again... that will be a problem. :facepalm:

At the VA for a couple appointments.y wife had her home health care nurse stop by shortly after I left. Just got a call from the wife and her nurse just left after two and a half hours. She's back to having an irregular heart beat. She's feeling fine otherwise and a call to the doctor was made. Waiting for the call back now
I was ready to head home but she said no a has the cordless phone with her. Both my appointments are kinda important so I'm on edge. The final is a bone scan. Earlier I was injected with some kinda radioactive stuff and it's to "soak in" . Then it's back for the actual scan. Neighbor is going to keep a check on the wife for now.
