Title: What MADE your day today?
Post by: Well Behaved Lady on August 01, 2014, 05:00:17 PM
MOD NOTE: WEVE MERGED THE HAPPY DAYS/MADE MY DAY THREADS. CONTINUE TO BE HAPPY...
100 Happy Days - A prompt I've seen pop up on my Facebook page for a while now, but as I don't use FB like others, as in to post about the everyday going ons in my life. I wondered would it work here.
The idea is you post about something that makes you happy for 100 days straight.
From the website http://100happydays.com for people who are doing the challenge with photos and through social media.
Quote
Why would I do that?
People successfully completing the challenge claimed to:
- Start noticing what makes them happy every day; - Be in a better mood every day; - Start receiving more compliments from other people; - Realize how lucky they are to have the life they have; - Become more optimistic; - Fall in love during the challenge.
I'm going to give it a go, from what I can see the only thing you have to do is say what number day it is and what made you happy ~ simples ;D
Day #1 - having fun texting

I'd like to try it. It'll force me to come in to the KB forum, and not disappearing for a week/month. Maybe it will also help me to notice things that make me happy, and while remembering that happy feeling so that I can post it here, will keep a positive mood. Guess when this experiment is over I can look back on it and offer more positives about it. So...
Day#1 - Happy that I'm going to the Detroit Tiger game with my daughter tonight. First time to a game since mid-April.
And a Woo for another great thread creation, Ms. W.

#1 - Enjoy family to the fullest. Seeing a smile on an eleven-month old as he brings you something just melts my heart.

vinney.....that is wonderful, not the pain, but the fact that you aren't letting it hinder you. Sounds like you could use a little motivation, how 'bout I run little ahead of you and if you catch up you can poke me with your.....crutch! LOL
Day two: Found a new use for one of my crutches... got the bleeding insect on the ceiling first time... now I'll have to repaint the ceiling ...(some hopes)... Been out looking for my motivator, crotch in hand... so where were you TD...? couldn't even see you with my 'noculars...

Day 4.... spotted a Monarch butterfly today. Normally I would not have noticed, but I saw on the news a couple of weeks ago that they are very scarce in Michigan because of the late spring. So, I was happy for the little guy for making it this far North.

Day #5 Though, it happened in day 4, it carried over to this morning - and every other day going forward. Michelle had a favorite pair of earrings. Last fall, she lost one and had no idea where. Going through an Arby's drive-thru last night, I accidentally dropped my credit card between my passenger seat and the console. When I got home, I moved the seat all the way forward and found, not only my credit card, but also the lost earring. Lin suggested that I hang it from my rear view mirror. What a great idea it was. It was a very nice thing to come out to this morning when leaving for work.

Day 6, yesterday 8/6 - This was a tough one. Pretty uneventful day at work. But then I arrived home and discovered someone had mowed my lawn. It was a very nice surprise. I've been putting it off and was going to do it this weekend, but it was getting kind of gnarly. Was unable to discover which of my neighbors cut it, so I still owe a thank you to someone.

Day 8... visited my physiotherapist who is pleased with my progress... Am still on crutches but soon will reduce to just one... but given go-ahead to use my exercise bike - lowest setting and for one and a half minutes only... well that's a start anyway...
Feel really good and very positive after a period of serious depression due to pain and immobility... ;D Getting happier now and looking like we'll manage to get away on holiday soon - not like the first one which we had to cancel...

Good to hear Vinney. Continual improvement is great news.
Day 8 - I haven't really given a shit about food lately. Frozen dinners, fast food or homemade sandwiches is what I've brought to work for my lunches these past couple of months. Well today, a co-worker wanted to try a new rib joint. Holy bejeezus was it ever good. I haven't had ribs in about a year.

Day #8 - Surprise visit by daughter and baby. No matter how terrible my body feels, when he comes up to me and puts out his hands and smiles to be picked up, all the pain is forgotten. Until they leave, then the pain returns.

Day 10 - A scratch. Nothing good.
Day 11 - An employee and his wife had twins over the weekend. After he gave me a cigar, I congratulated him and then asked him what the F he was doing at work and told him to get his ass home. Very happy for them both.

Day 11. Not sure if I've said but I'm down to a single crutch now. Managed to walk a little further today and have a spell on the exercise bike (within the minimal constraints of my physiotherapist). Heard from a friend who had apparently gone missing but found out he hadn't - but his Internet had!
Weather much improved and am generally feeling a whole lot more positive today and looking forward to a further improvement tomorrow...

Day 14 - Finished a book at lunch today and began the final book in the series. I've always felt a sense of accomplishment whenever I finish a book. I had difficulty reading/comprehending all through college. So much difficulty that, out of frustration, I wouldn't read any books. I started reading again in my early 30's.

The second store is on three levels... The items we wanted were on the top floor... was fine going up on the elevators... but no elevators down - the lift was out of order and three flights of steps...damned difficult and painful with the crutch...
Gave up and went home after that...

Day 16...invited to a party at The Dream Cruise (a classis car event in a nearby city) Was a real fun day with some old friends. Lin and I were able to take a friends 67 Vette for a spin out on Woodward. She was acting like she was in a parade and was waving like the princess she thinks she is. Crowds were huge.
Day 17...Lin was surprised by her aunt earlier today. She took her to her first concert this evening. New Direction. Lin was so happy she never stopped smiling when she found out. Gotta love to see your child that happy.

Day 18... 2 things... (1) Last week Becca mentioned PB&Jelly sandwiches in the Smooth or Crunchy thread. Made me think I haven't had that in forever and planned on it over the weekend. I didn't have an opportunity to have it this past weekend, but made two for lunch today. Just half an hour ago, I had PB and bread stuck to the roof of my mouth. Once I got it off the roof of my mouth I was happy. (2) My Monday morning virtual cup of coffee with a friend.

Day 19... I have not had a carbonated soda in 3 months, other than some ginger ale in my Cap'n Morgan. Well today at lunch I had an ice cold Diet Coke. Oh G'damn, was it good. The only reason I even bought it was because I went to the gas station to fill up. When I went in to pay, there was a bottle with "Share a Diet Coke with Karen" on it. Of course, I had to buy it.

Some catching up to do... Day 23 & 24 Weather was way too hot in Ohio. But a fun time. Day 25 New printer arrived from Amazon. Fast and trouble free. No paper jams anymore. Day 26 Back in March, bought some Tiger tickets for all the Yankees games. A friend told me they were selling for 4 times the value because of Jeters farewell tour. Sold all 3 games for $750. Original purchase prices was $210. Helped to pay for this past weekend.

Day 28... High School Football game last night. A Friday night activity we've done since we met (when the team plays at home). We've never been college or Pro football fans. Just something about the HS game and getting crammed in the bleachers with your friends & neighbors. The HS is just 1/2 mile walk from our house. It was great game where the lead changed hands 4 times in the 4th quarter. Fun night, except when Lin spilled the hot chocolate on me. Wasn't that hot, but it didn't look that great on my khaki colored shorts.

Day 30-33... Nothing good to report.
Day 34 - rec'd a thank you letter from Michelle's favorite charity that we had asked friends and family to donate to in her memory - and in lieu of flowers for the memorial service. The letter mentioned that over $7500 was donated in her memory. Was truly blown away by this. Michelle would have been extremely touched by this, as I am. I know the bulk of it had to have been her parents very well off friends, 'cause I know it wasn't my cheap ass friends. :D

Day 35... Cop pulled me over after I picked up Lin from my sis-in-laws. 65 in a 45. Happens to be an Asian cop that comes to my window and asks for my license and registration. He sees Lin in the back seat and says "Hello" to her in a kind voice. She says, "Hi. You look just like a man I know in China." He asks how she would know someone in China. I explain that M and I adopted her 18 months ago. He asked a few other questions about the adoption and explained that his mother still lives in China. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Slow it down, dad." Then said goodbye to Lin and went back to his vehicle. No ticket!!! Very happy! My neighbor said a 20 over would have been about $200.

Happy days, you should put that $200 in a savings account for Lin, as when she is old enough she may come to you and say Dad remember that time I saved you from a ticket, well I got one ;D

20 over the limit (along with over 80 anywhere) is Reckless Driving in Virginia... about $350 for a lawyer who practices in the same town as the judge, plus another $200 to $300 for a "faulty equipment" or some other substitute charge and fine.
No Points, if you work it right, which is why you need the lawyer who knows the local courts. Better, you have Lin... great story, Joe.

49...taking a walk in the neighborhood, happened upon a garage sale. Bought a lightly used Dewalt wood planer at a bargain price. Almost felt guilty paying so little for it, but the older gentleman just wanted to get rid of it. It's a tool that I've never had in my wood working tool collection.

Day 50... A fun time with my best friend at the Lions game. As fans in the seats, we didn't realize how Stephen Tulloch had hurt himself. I just read about it and fig'd I'd share with this group, who all appreciate a good hip thrust... http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014/9/21/6774123/lions-player-injures-himself-hip-thrust-video-stephen-tulloch

62... (yesterday) Went for a walk with Lin after dinner. We could hear the ice cream truck going through our subdivision. The anticipation of ice cream and the sound of that ice cream truck music had her in a delirious tizzy. It was fun to watch. It was about 5 minutes before the truck made it to the street we were on. Could she wait for it to traverse the length of the street to us??? No. We had to run to it, with her pulling my hand and yelling to run faster, even though the truck had no where to go except down the street to us. She had an Orange Push-up. I had a Strawberry Crunch. When did ice cream truck drivers start looking so scary?

Relaxing at home in my chair, feet up, watching the Tigers. Lin was excited by the game also and is wearing Michelles Tiger hat and for some reason a grass skirt? ? ? She explained it's her Tiger cheerleading outfit. She's not doing too much cheering....she's bored already and is coloring.

72... Saturday...An old friend stopped by for a visit. Drinks and catching up.
73... Sunday...Family dinner at my house. My sis-in-law is Canadian, so we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with Turkey and all the fixings. Went out and cut the grass and came back in to "that smell". Mmmm-mmm.

Life has been real good up north. Weather staying mild, so good times outdoors with the cats and dogs. Saturday we drove down the river roads along the Mississippi. The bluffs were in full color. Stopped at a state park and walked along a mile long trail high above the river. It was fantastic. Then we had a mile walk back to the car. Felt our age Sunday and still some aches today. If only I could convince my mind that there are now limits. ;D (http://i.imgur.com/F6XohTo.jpg)

89 ... Tuesday ... Fell down the stairs head first, bounced once, flipped over and landed at the bottom of the steps. Luckily my phone was in my back pocket so that I could dial sister-in-law and 911. Was in the hospital for 4 hours getting catscanned. Left lung is bruised in two spots (from my ribs banging into them), but it only hurts when I breath. Luckily, I haven't had to cough or sneeze yet. Doc warned me it'll feel worse than the fall. Yeah, looking forward to that. 5 bruised ribs. Bruised spleen. Bad sprain of my left wrist. Badly sprained left ankle. Wearing a boot until the swelling goes down, it's a little smaller than the size of a volleyball. Vinney gets rid of crutches, Joe's gonna borrow them for a couple of weeks. Other than that, not a scratch on me. ;D On the plus side, it's not my driving foot. And I'm right handed, not left.
Ya know that feeling when the wind gets knocked out of you and you can't catch your breath? Yeah, it was like a minute of that. As I'm laying there I was thinking, "Well you really f'd up this time." I truly thought I was a goner. Thought I broke my back, but all is good there. Bitch of it is, I have to go to work tomorrow. There's no getting out of it. Too much going on.
M'F'er, what a day! But not nearly as bad as yours, Vinney. Sorry to hear of your friends son.

Day 95 (Monday) Happy to arrive home from work and see that some of the H.S. neighbor kids raked my lawn of all the leaves, though, I think it was their parents suggestion. They go paid what I was going to pay a lawn service to do it, so I think they were happy.

97...Wednesday Happy for Daylights Savings time and turning the clock back on Sat night/Sun morning. It seems to have "reset" my sleep pattern. I'm waking up feeling better that I have in recent months. I'm getting a good 6-7 hours sleep every night.

Day 98... 1000 Days at KB.
February 10th, 2012 (the day I joined KB) + 1000 Days = November 6th, 2014
I'm HAPPY that I was able to survive 1000 days with you all. And I barely pissed anyone off. And don't think I pissed anyone off to earn that one boo (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=16479.msg208067#msg208070) I got, that was special.

I am not a fan of turning the clock back because it gets dark too early and mostly because it seems the cats never ever get adjusted and get me up an hour earlier. They are so fuckin' lucky that I'm their human. :D
Today is the first day my cat understood her dinner time is now an hour later. It has been a wonderful, yowling-free evening!

Got so close and petered out at the very end. So, to finish what I started....
Day 99 (Friday) ... Marathon Disney Fest with Lin on the couch.
Day 100 (Saturday) ... Painted Lin's room, which made her very happy. Also finished my 100 Happy Days project. :)

100 Happy Days - 2015
Ok so the end of last year sucked bigtime for me and although I'm not fully or likely to be back to myself for sometime I thought I'd give this a go again. so while I might not be happy in the jumping about ecstatic overwhelming giddy happiness sense, I will attempt to post things that have made me smile or feel good.
I hope the few members who also joined in the last time will have a go again along with others.
Day 1 - Speaking with my best friend

I like the idea of this thread, we all need some positivity and I am no exception. I cannot promise to make consecutive days but I shall try and do catch up (it may actually turn into 52 Happy Weeks knowing me!).
Day 1 (Week 1) - spending the new year and a few days (after a difficult Christmas) with the best of friends - spending unexpected and impromptu time with a loved one - taking the first positive steps to a life change

The Fire Place is going, nice and cozy in the living room. It's snowing outside and there's no place to go. All I'm doing is watching the horses play in the snow and race around. Today is a Currier and Ives kind of day. Love it, so peaceful. :emot_kiss:

This sort of freaked me out for a moment. One of those heart dropping in the stomach moments. Went to my mother-in-laws last night and what had she made?? Homemade Lemon Curd. Seriously, my mind was going a mile a minute. Truly, scared the shit out of me thinking that my mother-in-law might be running the sex forum I frequent. It would be SOOOOOOO out of character, but, you never know. Forgive me if I call you "mom" at times, Lois. ;)
Just because is all......do you have to really have a reason? Don't get me wrong, I like seeing what brings a smile to y'all's face, makes you more human and not just some unknown presence or whatever. *chuckle* I'm just happy today....it is what it is!

My sister-in-law, in kahoots with my secretary, called some of my vendors asking for pledges if I participate in a polar plunge. This "surprise" was just brought to my attention an hour ago. They've raised $950 (so far) for the Michigan Special Olympics, IF I jump into the Detroit River tomorrow. WTF? How can I say no to jumping into a river when it's single digit temperatures with a wind chill in the minus. So, my "happy" today is that I'm nice and dry and warm today...very unlike how I will be at 11am tomorrow.

As the year comes to a close, I just wanted to let you know how honored and privileged I have felt to teach Johnny this year. As you know, he is a one of a kind kiddo with whom I have great respect.
I enjoyed watching his presentation today and I know that he will be an incredible contribution to society one day. I told him to let me know if he does in fact pursue law.
You have raised a kind, caring, courteous and HELPFUL young gentleman. Johnny is truly selfless.
I will miss having him in my class as he has really become my assistant this year! Good luck isn’t really a great way to talk about Johnny’s future---as I know it won’t be luck! The path he has already begun to pave (with your help) will guarantee his future success.
Congrats to you for raising such an inspirational son!
I thought you would enjoy this picture. Johnny was shaking hands with a fellow “classy”mate. Johnny became a lawyer for his presentation and the other student was a judge. WATCH OUT WORLD!
With sincerity, Johnny's Teacher
About 10 years ago, I volunteered to become the JV basketball coach for our local high school. Being part of the program, I was required to attend a mini-conference to hear a motivational speaker. This guy was a coach for many years. He didn't measure his success by his win-loss records at the end of each season. He measured his success by what he called "paychecks". The paycheck had no monetary value. The paycheck was many things much more important, such as an email of thanks from a player, a thank you letter from a parent for helping to guide their child, a graduation party invite, a birth announcement from a former player, an award from the league, former players coming by for years to follow even though they were no longer in the same school district, etc.
Toe, what you received was what I now refer to as a parental paycheck. You put for the effort and now you're getting your reward. A letter I hope you pull out and read many times. You deserve it.

Left a gorgeous NC and arrived in rainy Detroit. We were joined by Michelle's mom/dad and a few other close friends. Spent most of this rainy day looking through albums and watching some videos, including some awesome dance performances of Michelle when she was a 7 year old. A few tears, but many more laughs. 1 year already. Seems like it was only yesterday.

Meeting family I haven't seen in many many years, knowing they still hold me in high regard despite circumstances.
A tiredness that resonates from within.
Perfection abound.
The above will only make sense to me but suffice to say I'm very very happy.

Picking up the little one, and 4 of her (very loud) friends. My sis-in-law and I are taking them to one of the major fireworks shows in our area tonight. Eating shitty tonight... Basically Carnival food.... Walking tacos, elephant ears, popcorn, hot roasted almonds and an ice cream (or two). Start of fireworks season, my neighborhood will sound like a war zone for the next 3 weeks. It already started last weekend.

Daughter has been begging to go to the zoo. Today's the day. It was Michelle's favorite place. I've mentioned before she was a docent there when we lived in Royal Oak, the city in which the Detroit Zoo resides. It is fast becoming our daughters favorite place, too. She's excited to see how big the baby giraffe has grown.

Cotton Candy. Love that stuff. 7-11 sells it in little bags, like chip bags. I think it's called Fluffy Stuff. Daughter gets some every time we go there. Which, by the way, we stopped at 7-11 on the way to the zoo. Free small slurpees today. Well, that's what my daughter got (small), I got a large. Rock N'Rye flavored. Do they have that outside of Michigan? It's a Faygo flavor.

I've had to put on a stiff upper lip (and show no fear) around the kids, but every dollar we've spent recently on snacks, Scouting, field trips, clothing store, etc. has been a little nightmare for me. Let's hope this one works out. Now, if I can just remember how to shave and put on a suit. LOL.

A little back story... My sis-in-law took my soon to be 6 year old daughter to get some clothes at a store for back to school. They were out of those clothes and some similar ones. The sales associate said, "All the stores are going through them like Hot Cakes" After leaving the store, Lin asked Debbie what that term meant. She explained. So to her now, everything is 'going through them like hotcakes.' Sometimes the term fits, most times it makes absolutely no sense what so ever.
So, this morning.... I was meeting my friend for breakfast. Sis-in-law Debbie had originally planned on watching Lin but got called into the office. So, I took Lin with me. It was to be the first time her and Abbie met. I gave Abbie the heads-up and asked if she was cool with it. She said no problem. When we arrived, Abbie was already sitting at a table. We walk up and I introduced Lin to her. "Lin, this is my friend Abbie." Abbie holds out her hand and says, "I'm so happy to meet you, Lin. I've heard so much about you." Lin shakes her hand and replies, "Nice to meet you. So are you daddy's newest girlfriend?" First, I'm ready to laugh at the term 'newest girlfriend'. Abbie sort of looks at me and gets a laughing smile going. We really haven't discussed exactly where we stand, but I give her a little nod. She turns to Lin, smiles and says, "Yes, I think you could say I'm his girlfriend." Lin looks at me and says, "Boy daddy, you're going through girlfriends like hotcakes." There was a couple sitting across the aisle from us. The woman started laughing so hard I thought she was going to pee her pants.
So, my happiness today and everyday is my darling daughter for making me laugh so often.

My daughter is at her grandparents cottage for the week. Abbie, my new friend, has the rest of the week off work. Spur of the moment on the phone a few minutes ago, Abbie and I came up with a plan to blow town. Heading to the airport for an 8pm flight. Heading to Vegas for some fun. I'll try to avoid those 24 hour chapels on the strip. Though, that's what happened the last time I went to Vegas. See you all next Wed.

Well, made it to Vegas. We had been there for 24 hours when Abbie got a call from her mom that an Uncle had passed away in Boston. It was Abbie's mom's brother in law. She said she was feeling guilty she wouldn't be able to go, so I said, "WTF, I got my ass kicked at the craps table, let's get out of here and go to Boston." With a little maneuvering from the fine people at Southwest Airlines, we were able to be in Boston by early Saturday. Luckily, I did make back about half of what I lost my first time at the tables before we flew out. Met a bunch of Boston speaking family members of Abbie's. I was taught by her brother that the easiest way to talk like a Bostonian, was to leave the R sound out of every word. It seemed to work pretty good. Bah, Cah, Fah. Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard. Whale watching. Visited the sight of the Boston Massacre. Learned all sorts of things that I was taught incorrectly in elementary school.
So, I'm happy I got out of Vegas without getting hitched. and, I'm happy to be back in Michigan. Had a great time in Boston and Vegas. Just trying to catch up at work.

I remember when we used to cook with lard. None of the modern substitutes can approach it for flavor. It disappeared from the stores here for many years. All the donut shops, all the fish & chips places, all the bakeries moved away from it and substituted the phony vegetable oils and the flours that taste like cardboard. But just the other day, for the first time in many years, I noticed one of the local supermarkets stocking Crisco. I'm not sure it's the original lard, but next time I see it I'm going to grab a package, bring it home and try it out.

Lard (the generic term) and Crisco (the commercial brand) have the reputation of taking your cholesterol sky-high and clogging your coronary blood vessels. I don't know what the science of all that is, but I can tell you this:
In my high school days I worked part-time during the school year and full time in the summer at a popular seafood restaurant. Half or more of what we sold into the dining room and over the take-out counter was fried in lard. We had four frialators going all the time.
We coated our seafood in a tray of loose flour, shook off the excess, dipped the fish in a milk/egg bath, then fluffed it in corn flour and then into the frialator. In a busy streak my hands would be coated with this stuff to the extent that it had to be peeled off as a gummy glob. I would often mold the glob into a cruller shape and pop that into the frialator. After a few minutes I had a delicious cruller to nibble on. We had the best fried seafood and french fries for many miles around, and that culinary excellence depended hugely on the purity and cleanliness of our lard.
I would not call myself a lard pig, but I always appreciated the special flavor, and when lard usage started disappearing around here I would drive a half hour or an hour to where I knew I could get lard fried donuts, and I heavily patronized the lunch place in town that still used lard for the fries that came with your sandwich.
I am diabetic, and get my blood tested at least three or four times a year. My cholesterol numbers are almost those of a high school athlete. When I had a prosthetic heart valve replacement at the age of sixty-something the hospital cathetered all my coronary arteries to see what else they might clean up while they had my chest open. What they found was clean pipes everywhere they looked.
If there is a cardiologist here on KB, I would welcome any explanation of this mystery.
Title: Re: What made your day today?/100 Happy Days
Post by: herschel on March 28, 2016, 10:18:15 PM
But the thing that made my day was hearing from a woman who I last spoke to in 1954. How's that for ancient? She was practice-teaching speech and drama at my high school. I played the stage manager part in our senior class production of Our Town, the Thornton Wilder play that was a big hit on Broadway, later done at least twice in movie versions. She called to invite me to my sixty-somethingth high school class reunion. I have not attended any of my reunions, because to do so would violate my hermit principles, but I thanked her for bringing me up to date on a number of my old classmates. Not only that, but she inquired after my sister, who was two years behind me in high school, so I was able to call my sister and tell her she was remembered from all those years as well.
This was another impressive example of the tracks we leave behind in our lives. You go on doing whatever you do, every day, trying to mind your business and make things come out right at the end of the day, and you almost never ask yourself 'Is anyone watching what I do? Does anyone care what I do?' Well the answer is yes, they do watch, yes, they do care, no, you don't live in isolation. What you do when you think nobody is watching, you are setting an example to humanity, so goddammit set a good example. If it is your lot in life to suffer, please for chrissake have the decency to suffer nobly; or if it is to prosper instead, prosper nobly, be thankful and gracious to those who tolerate you from above, and be generous and gracious to those who study you from below.
Knowing this might have made a big difference in the life of Richard Cory:
Richard Cory, By Edwin Arlington Robinson
Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king— And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.
Selah.

It seems that social media has brought a large number of "ghosts from the past" back into my orbit. Some I am genuinely glad to reacquaint myself with. Others, I spent 35 years forgetting their awfulness, only to be reminded of it here again in my 50's. LOL.
I found a family member I never knew I had on facebook recently.

Baby sat my friends son. He had an accident and hurt his ankle so I got the call to take care of him today while his mom worked :-[
He's a sweet little guy. Never thought I would ever want to raise a boy, but he'd be the perfect example. His mom says he and I have way more in common than they do. We both like video games, and basically have the same level of maturity :roll:

When I was six years old a 12 oz bottle of Hires root beer was a ten minute ticket to heaven, only cost a nickel back then. We would put a thumb over the bottle, shake it, slurp the foam, then drink off the contents.
But I'm still proud of myself when I can three-point an empty beer can into the trash container.

Enjoying a private celebration of getting my taxes filed, treating myself to a bottle of Asti Spumante and stuffed mushrooms instead of a nutritious evening meal. Filing one's taxes is the most common of nuisances, but every year as I grow older in retirement, enjoying more and more the release from the burdens of having to be anywhere or do anything other than enjoy my second childhood, I resent the intrusions of compulsory anything, especially those backed by the imperial powers of the state. This year it took me six days of sweating the details to get the job done, and I don't like sweating. When I was young and strong, working up a sweat meant having fun. Now my best fun is dozing off for an afternoon nap.

We'd just get off 95 and discover the houses along the water. Get back on, go a few more exits and then get off again and make our way to the seaside towns. Mystic was a wonderful town. My friend wants to go, maybe this summer again. Will def visit Abbot's. Thank you, Liz

Spent a fortune on pizza, which is also almost completely gone. No ice cream left. My living room looks like a nuke went off and the kids are in sugar and pizza comas.

I have a bad habit of falling into my deepest sleep, right around the time I must get up and start preparing for work. So this morning, I'm in a very deep sleep, and I dream I am skinny dipping at Barton Springs in Austin with my lady love, my ex, my girlfriend from law school, and my girlfriend from college. They are all *extremely* demonstrative and physical.... and just then my alarm goes off. Damn. I had to quickly rub one out. Great way to start a Monday.

I'm the same way. When I have dreams, it's usually about work, or my sister, or ordinary things, but after I hit the snooze the first time, I have some very erotic dreams. Stuff I would never do in real life. Glad to hear your Monday started off great, Mr. Toe.

One of the great blessings of retirement is sleeping and waking on a natural cycle. Dreams are so much better when the brain creeps into consciousness at its own pace.

I found a literal ton of stuff from my mom's life all packed away today. In fact, I barely scratched the surface of the relics. Among them were old video tapes. My mom was horribly embarrassed when I found one tape she hoped was lost forever. It was from a birthday party, and in it she and her friends were dancing to:

:emot_laughing:
I've seen pictures of my mom in the 80's, but this was absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen. And here I thought my mom, a gorgeous, elegant and glamorous ageless woman was nothing like me, or as she puts it "I'm fine dining, you're McDonald's drive through" was exactly like me when she was a kid. She always wondered why I was so precocious, carefree, and a big pain in the ass as a kid, but now I know it was all in the DNA.
I can't wait to see what other treasures there are :D

Played hooky and went to the zoo. Been here 8 yrs and hadn't hit it yet, so it was time. The temps only hit 80 today down there.

Though respectfully I like the one where I came from better: it's 40% bigger and has nearly half the number of species, so they all have much bigger enclosures. That's important to keep the neurotic behavior down.

A skit on Saturday Night Live. Peter Dinklage is the guest. They had a skit where he and his wife took another couple to the new hottest restaraunt in town. They served food through a gloryhole. First some French bread in the form of a baguette. Then a pumpernickle in a longer loaf. Then a corndog for the entree. Was laughing so hard.

Maybe you don't appreciate your own work as much as your fans do! I think your stories could be adapted very successfully to television. The plots would need a lot of fleshing out with actors and sets and all that, but the hooks would come from your own imagination.
I hope we'll be seeing this story here on KB? I've missed seeing a new story from you over the last month or so.

Knowing I'm getting out of work 1/2 hour early to go watch the kids run
For Track and Field. I loved doing that. But I was kind of injury prone. Got hurt in every event I tried. :'( High Jump. landed on the pole. Right across the back. Hurdles. hit my trailing knee on the top of hurdle and it blew up the size of a softball 800 m relay. Hand off of the baton, a girl in the lane next to us stumbled and fell as I was in full sprint. My legs got tangled in hers and I went down on my hands, chin and chest. It wasn't pretty. Long Jump Didn't get hurt, but I stumbled at the jump line and face planted into the dirt. Had dirt it in my nose, mouth, ears, hair, down my shirt and shorts. More embarrassing that anything.
What made my day today........ CINCO DE MAYO. Mexican for lunch. Been a while since I've had my favorite at Xochimilco. Eric? Favorite Mexican joint in Mexan town?

I appreciate it, Herschel.
My latest story was written as an entry in an informal contest on another website which required a sci-fi theme in honor of "Star Wars Day". I honestly didn't think it would appeal here. It's not really in the wheelhouse of KB readers.
Since you asked, though, I will post it here tonight.

My son was named outstanding student for his entire junior high last night at an awards ceremony. It was the last award of the night, with all the drama of the Oscars (for this dad anyway). Much cheering and screaming. Dinner at a five star restaurant afterwards, to celebrate. I'm still walking six inches off the ground.
Wow, congratulations Father Toe. That is so cool. What a great award.
What made my day..... a vendor brought in two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and I had the will power to refuse taking one. Yay me.

Aren't they always adding a lane a year onto I-10? But I have to admit, some nice highways around New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
When the state instituted the Lottery in Illinois, their main selling point was that the money would go for public education. Once the politicians and other invested interests got their hands on that money, poof, disappeared or the allocation criteria changed.

OMG, freaky.
Overhead Crane Operator for 2 months. Moving material at a small metal shop. No benefits, got out first chance I got. Loved running the crane though.
Mainly boat fishing. Lake St. Clair, Detroit River, and Lake Erie. Joe's friend had a boat and we dated for a bit. He always knew where to find a fishing partner. I've had a little luck casting from shore in the early spring during Walleye spawning, but haven't done that it a while. Was supposed to go yesterday but too cold and the water is too stirred up.

"casting from shore in the early spring during Walleye spawning,"
Walleye is the best goddam fish on a dinner plate from freshwater. Not a lot of it to be found in NH, but walleye galore in northern Quebec. We used to get a party together and go up to Mistassini every June. Every guy in the boat caught his limit every day. Fabulous fishing!

Large Mouth Bass......Good Fight and Good Eating. If you know how to clean and cook Perch, they can be good eating also, you just need a good number of them. (Perch are best fried).

Walleye are wonderful to eat. I love it. The fight when on the hook is nothing special. The Large Mouth Bass, good fight. We've gone to the shipping channels for perch, filled up two 5 gallon buckets. Sometimes 2 on at a time. I love perch also.
Gawd I want to go out.

Finding out my neighbor was being abused(NOT THIS PART THIS PARTS BAD). Apparently he hit her 1 time and she warned him. At this point I would have gladly thrown him the ass kicking of the millennium but she has I don't know patience I guess. Anyway it happened again this morning. So she shot him in the knee cap and left the apartment taking his and her phone so he could call for help. She dropped his phone at the landlord's office, then came to our door to apologized for the loud noise, and asked if my partner and I had breakfast plans? :emot_laughing:
The officer at the front desk of the police station we took her to (after IHOP) laughed at her shooting him and said in that situation she would have gladly done the same. Before even making a computer entry.
That's what made my day. ;D

A 3 mile runslow jog on a beautiful Sunday morning. I saw a couple of deer. A hot cup of coffee. Going to a matinee performance of The Sound Of Music at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit with Joe, my niece and my friend. So excited. http://www.broadwayindetroit.com/shows/the-sound-of-music One of my favorite songs is The Lonely Goatherd. Always brings a smile to my face. I hope they sing it. Time for a little nap right now though. Only 5 hours sleep. :emot_kiss: and a wonderful Sunday to everyone.

Sitting on my deck at daybreak.....listening to the woods come alive, I know it sounds cheesy...but is like nature's symphony, can hear each sound the different birds make and they all just blend together. Can smell how the pine trees scent the air, subtle odor of gardenias......yep, glad to be alive in my little corner of the universe. Oh, and knowing I can come here and ramble......love y'all!
Love this. Brings back memories. We used to camp. I loved it in the middle of nature. Even at a very early age I would get up early and enjoy going and sitting outside watching the world come alive. Was so peaceful. Not the same as the city where I've lived 99% of my life.

I went to Central Market, stopped at their deli and got us two Buttermilk and Pecan Chicken breasts, grilled asparagus, and the bottle of Côtes du Rhône, and she heated them up. We both are sparingly, downed about a third of the bottle, and put the dishes up.
Last day of school. So the kids are going to be staying up late, sleeping in, and cleaning out the refridgerator.
Yes, this is why I'm going on vacation. Too hot for them to do anything outside. Would be bothering me 24/7. Mommy's had enough. Mommy needs to not deal with that for a while. :roll:

My mom gleefully shared the cards she got for my Dad's birthday.
On the front one said, "You're one year OLDER."
Inside it said, "you're getting closer and closer to that age where a life sentence isn't really that big of a threat."
The other one read in the front, "you the man"
On the inside it read, "the old man, but still the man. Happy birthday"

I'm scaling back my current job that I took to help get things back on track at the company. Mission (pretty much) accomplished. So now I'll only be coming in once a week. I will be focusing more time on my previous job, which I put on the back burner for the last 4 months.
In addition, my friend quit her evening job. So we'll have much more time to spend together.
On a sadder note (for me) the above two instances will have a severe impact on how much I will be visiting KB. I'll still be stopping in, but definitely not the way I have been in recent months. I'll still be coming by, most likely on weekday evenings.

I had a day that started off bad but turned out good if the entire balance of things is considered.
I left home at 10 am this morning with Jefferson's truck. Yesterday, he had a flat and replaced it with the spare tire. He tasked me with taking the truck to the tire place to get a repair, and then to get an oil change. So first I went to the tire place. They said it might not be repairable because of the uneven wear. If the hole happened to be near the outside where the tread was supper thin, then I'd need a new tire. They said they could get to it in about an hour. So to be efficient, I left the tire there and went five blocks down the road to the oil change place. Right as I arrived at the oil change place, the spare tire flattened and died. But I proceeded to get the oil change.
After words, I tried to drive the five blocks back to the tire place going at about 5mph. But the truck is heavier than a car and the tire quickly shredded and balled up making it very difficult to move. So I called for a tow. In the process of towing the truck the back tires kept seizing up and we discovered we needed a flat bed tow truck.
So in the process of disconnecting Jefferson's truck, the tow rig came up under the radiator and punched a hole in it. Ugh!
The poor tow truck driver had to call his boss and tell him what happened. His boss was really mad. They informed me that they were responsible and would pay to replace the radiator.
And of course I felt bad. The driver would have to pay for the parts out of his paycheck. Yeah, he did a boneheaded thing that resulted in the destruction of the radiator, but still I felt bad because coming up short on money can be really bad for people struggling to pay rent, etc. But he assured me it would be okay.
So we drove the four blocks to the tire store, got the tire, and as we were pulling into the parking lot where we left the truck we saw that the the flat bed tow had already arrived. We replaced the tire and then put the truck on the flat bed. Then off to the garage for the radiator repair.
So why am I not discouraged? Well, I accomplished both my goals. The oil is changed and the tire is fixed. We did not have to spend $500 for a new pair of front tires. AND now the truck has a brand new radiator, although I feel bad that the mistake was costly for someone else.
To top it all off, the other tow trick drivers were impressed that I did not flip out and scream with anger. My attitude is that everyone makes mistakes. I think this attitude was appreciated and I received many smiles in return.
So on balance, it was a good day.

I have to meet with a lawyer about property I just inherited from a family member.
It's been put up for sale and I have to decide to sell or keep it. There's an interested buyer and it could be nearly 100 thousand dollars :emot_weird:
I recently inherited other property which I've rented out, but I don't know what to do with this. Lot of money for my babies college funds.

It's the simple things in life that make my day. Yesterday and today it was not having to pick up a student dropped motorcycle. Had a good group of students for this most recent rider training course. And we got finished early due to having a small group. Course timings are built around 16 students and we only had 6 (on purpose - not due to lack of interest in the program).

Yes, we all had our phones recording.

I don't know the longest I've ever shot. I'd go skeet shooting with daddy in a league. Then we'd go over and shoot pistol. He wanted to take me deer hunting so we practices rifle on the range. I went with him and my aunt and uncle but I didn't shoot the deer. It was too big and majestic. My dad was mad at first, after I started crying, he understood. But, back to the distance. I don't think I ever shot more than 50 yards. 300 yards must seem so far.

My Dad was a Marine (He still is if you ask him). He qualified with the M-14 at 300 Yards and then at 500 Yards when he was active. He taught me to shoot at 300 Yards, I had to learn Marine Corps Style. Needless to say he was strict, but attentive to everything I did right and wrong and he corrected me quickly. I think some of our best time was on the range shooting. He was absolutely worried to death when I went off to college that something would happen to me.

That's how my accident happened. Fucking 21 year old decides to pass me on the left hand side, just as I was making a left hand turn. On the wrong side of a double solid stripe, in the oncoming lane of traffic. Fucking totalled my sports car too.
Pet peeve of mine. They come up that turn lane at 50 mph. About a year ago, I was letting a car exit a strip mall to make a left hand turn. He no sooner passed in front of me and I saw the car in my side view. Oh my god, I've never screamed so hard. Air bags on both vehicles went off. The 16 year old in daddy's Porsche got the ticket.

My favourite was the cop sitting in the left turn lane at a red light watch somebody make a left turn across the front of the cop car from the straight through lane (straight through had a green light).
It is amazing how many people are too lazy (or too stupid) to figure out a plan b if they miss their desired turn. And it is amazing the dumb things they do when trying to correct their mistake.

Try watching someone in the far left lane go careening from far left all the way over to their exit (and that's across 4 lanes of traffic all moving at 70 MPH +. They do it all the time in New Jersey on route 80 and route 78. The State Police are amazed that there aren't more deaths, I call it selective population control. When you get behind the wheel of a car / truck / whatever....your brains should follow you, not make a right turn and go back to bed.
Love, Liz

Making my day today after the stuff that crapped on my day this afternoon was Mrs JBRG appreciating my choice of home made taco salad this evening (yes, I made it too).
As I've said before, it's the little things.

My mom wanted a mommy daughter day :D
She took me shopping and spoiled me and took me out to lunch. I was her little princess again for a few hours.
She is perfect in every way. If it weren't for my kids there'd be no one on this Earth I could ever love more than her.

We went to the park today, my four year old, baby and the dog. Weather was too nice to pass up. A woman and her infant daughter were there. She couldn't get the baby to stop crying, so I offered to see if I could since babies never cry with me. She let me hold her and I guess I worked my magic and she stopped crying right away. Turns out she just wanted to be held right, not bounced around. Her mom asked me to teach her how I did that ;D
I fucking love being a mommy. :D

I don't have to be anywhere today. No appointments, hearings, clients, children, etc. Lounged in bed until 11 a.m. Pure decadence. Loving it. And my 4th of July playlist on the stereo. 'Murica! Fuck yeah!!!
Note: I just remembered that I forgot my ex's birthday this week. I think I am finally over it all, and am definately moving on in my life. Just another thing to be grateful concerning...
I remember my ex's birthday only because somebody has to remind the kids to say Happy Birthday to their mother.

Well, if Lois and Jules and Chirping Girl are all happy, then I'm happy. But the frosting on the cake for me is having stumbled onto Terence McKenna, who is maybe (probably) the craziest genius of the psychedelic scene. Love to hear him drawl away on YouTube about stuff that is beyond rational comprehension. That will keep me entertained for the next few years. That, and KB of course. He is a nice way to studiously ignore the stupidity going on in our national politics. I love crazy non-violent genius people.

I decided to tell my wife about my medical issue today. We sat outside in the shade and when it was quiet I took her hand and told her that I have a potentially, at any second apparently, fatal health issue. She squeezed my hand and said "yeah, I know." :roll:
I should have known better. Keeping a secret from her has always proven futile.
She looked at me and said "I've known you since we could barely talk, do you really think I wouldn't know something was wrong?" :'( She informed me that we would take any steps, and do whatever we had to. She forbade me from dying for the next eighty to ninety years. "I told you a long time ago, white girl, we were going to die together holding each others hand." :'(
The word "love" does not describe what I feel for her. I want to die holding her hand. I just hope it won't be for another ninety years.

Isn't that the truth. My 2 grandsons are 4 hours flying time from me. I wish the resources were available to see them more often. On the bright side, they arrive here in 2 weeks to spend almost 2 weeks with us. We are taking them to the Okanagan for what should be an adventure for them. My wife and have have been there three times in the past year.

My sister was a big sewer. She had an embroidery machine and I've been trying to figure out how to use it for a few months. The software on an old PC writes to a card that then goes into a 15 year old embroidery machine. Well, I was speaking with a neighbor yesterday and was telling him about it. His mother is a big sewer and embroiderer. She came over today and helped me. I finally know how to use it. Very cool. VERY HAPPY. Now just need some new designs. His mom said she has a bunch to copy to the computer. Lots of new fonts and a few cool logos (Nike & Polo).

Watched some of the Stampede events on TV yesterday. It was a mud fest. You knew who the steer wrestlers were -- they're the ones that were clean on their left side and mud caked on their right. You also knew who got bucked off without having to ask.
FWIW, I cheer for the bulls at rodeos.

Pool party at Katie's.....suits optional, or so I've heard.
That is good news. Happy for you. I love the pool. I was without one for 6 years at my last place. So happy to have one right outside the backdoor again.

Cowboy Boots (all the time, everywhere). IH Baseball Hat (most times) (IH <---International Harvester). Cowboy Hat about 0.002% of the time (only to impress, which is usually nobody). Chaps, when the riding get rough. Dress.....EWWWWWW, I think I have maybe 4 dresses that go with my boots. Lingerie (a dresser drawer full) and yes I'll wear them. Make-up......Forget about it, never gonna happen. Soooo..........Can you say "Country"............

My wife and I took the dog for a walk despite the heat. We walked by a lady throwing away an incredible stroller and tons of baby and kids toys!!!
The stroller I have, I got for my daughter and been using it ever since. This was way better. The lady was bringing everything out and I asked if she was selling or throwing away, and she said giving away. Anyone who wants can take. Her kids are all grown and they're not having anymore. So I scooped all of it up. :D
My wife was embarrassed we were picking through trash but I didn't care, this stuff was great. I made her carry garbage bags home. ;D
Cleaned up the stroller and stuff and it's good as new. :D
Before you say we didn't need it, no one else was around and it was garbage day.

Not a big thing but it still made my day. Out walking the dog this evening, I found an almost complete roll of unused (I know where this would go if I didn't specify) poop bags sitting on the side walk.
We often find empty beverage containers which we donate to charity (the is a refundable deposit on most beverage containers here).
We have also found blocks of cheese on the side walk in the past. This was near a grocery store and we figure they fell out of somebody's bag while walking home.
Free stuff is free stuff.

Coming home early, and finding my two teenagers running around the neighborhood, on a hot summer day, playing Pokemon Go. Say what you will about the game, I'm amazed that two boys their age would be outside in 95° heat.
Same here. My niece is just itching for me to get home to play. It's all good, she walks at a very brisk pace. We bumped into some of her friends (boys and girls) and the pack of them took off in search of the next stop. The joy these kids are having and interacting with each other, a few that she was not friends with before. Not saying she's a couch potatoes, but some of the friends mothers are happy their kids are getting out also. I'm missing out on my runs, but that's fine, too hot to run. I've got some early morning runs planned this weekend.
Summary: Happy to see my niece making new friends and getting some exercise.

Out to the mall to walk around while it rained. I was ordering some coffee while my niece waited outside. As I stepped to the side to await my drink, a guy that was also waiting for his coffee started talking to me. As he was handed his drink and was about to leave, he asked if I'd like to have coffee with him sometime. (Funny as we were both getting a coffee right then). But my niece steps in and says, "She can't, she has a girlfriend already." He first seemed shocked at the sudden presence of my niece, but then looked at me for confirmation. I just nodded. He wished us both a nice day.
Cracked me up that my niece is looking out for me. Though, he was kind of cute.

One of the most amazing weekends of my life. A lot of fun. New Friends. Great food at a pig roast party.
I remember the days when the extended family would get together on one of the farms they owned and the men would stay up all night roasting the pig and getting drunk and everyone else would bring a side dish. Now, it is very hard to get my family together because of everyone's hectic lifestyle and work.

Finished a major part of painting the dungeon. It was raining so I could not work on the roof.
We have a foam roof. Not leaking, but the elastomeric covering the foam was cracked during a hailstorm that also broke our skylight. Where the foam has eroded, I have to use the "Good Stuff" foam and then were it has puffed over the level of the roof I need to sand or cut it off. (Fortunately there's not much erosion) Once this step is completed, I can coat the roof with silicone based roof coating. This stuff is guaranteed for 50 years!
I am looking forward to completing many things during my week off.

I have a friend that complains about her kids all the time. They jump everytime a text comes in. They immediately look at their phone and respond to their friends. But whenever she texts or calls, it takes 15 minutes for a response. "Oh sorry Mom, my phone was on silent." "Sorry, I was in the bathroom." "Didn't hear it go off." Now she does it to them. 15 minute response time.

I'm pretty good with constant communication. My biggest gripe is my older son, who frequently stays out late, or sleeps over at freiends' places without telling me. So I wake up at 2 a.m., try to locate him, and don't get a message until 8 hours later. We've talked about this repeatedly, so he knows how I feel. Kids. I love mine, but think about dad every now and then.
Is called payback or karma........for all the times you did the same to your parents. :emot_laughing:

Not into the Game of Thrones, but I might have to look into them.
What made my day.... A few things (in no particular order)........
A visit from LustfullJoanne, the October 2009 Pervert of the Month. An email from a friend I haven't heard from in quite a while delivering some good news about her mom who is now in remission after a fight with breast cancer. And, I just scored a big account at work that I've been working on for a few months.

Does the DVD'S have anything special? I would've pirated it. Scratch that. The makers deserve some appreciation for making a show this good. I should get a box set when it ends after season 8.

My health dictator/wife tried to take my poore brothers potato chips away from me.
I literally grabbed them back and told her I've had enough of her, my doctor, my mother... the kids... everyone telling me what I can and can't eat. You can only go so far, and taking my kettle cooked chips away from me is a step too fuckin' far.
I finally stood up to her. And she didn't even walk away mumbling in Japanese. Which means she knows she went too far this time.

I used to go to the county fair in an area where the horses were being saddled and walked before their race. I judged each horse by their musculature and how they looked overall. Horses that were too lean showed they had been over-raced and on grain only diets for too long. Other horses looked flabby as if they had not been raced enough. I usually picked the horses that finished in the top three. If only I had a friend in the stands that could take my hand signals to place the bets. LOL! I wonder if that is even legal?

"Hawaii and bikinis? Or somewhere else, white girl. You pick."
"DollyWood."
"Dolly what?"
"We're going to DollyWood."
"What's that, a museum for dolls?"
I've already arranged it. We're going to DollyWood in October. :D

I was there with friends about 12 years ago. It was fun. People move in slow motion there. We have amusement parks in Mich and Ohio where they get people off the ride and new riders on in a timely fashion. Dollywood is like the workers are walking in molasses. That grated on my nerves a bit. But I'm a bit impatient at times. I like to move move move.
I've never had pets because of allergies (other than fish), so when I get a chance to be around animals I jump at it. We went to a place in Pigeon Forge called Parrot Mountain. It was fun. Many great pictures. I think we ended up spending 2 hours or more there.
OberGatlingburg was nice too if I remember correctly. We also did a lot of hiking in the mountains. There are a few pretty waterfall nearby. I don't recall if we visited caves that trip or on a different trip.
Have fun!

It didn't really "make my day", but it's always amusing to see Karma in action.
One prize moron nearly rear-ended me coming out of the Mixmaster this morning (it's an ugly interchange in Dallas on the 35E). He was violently lane-changing and exceeding anything like common sense. Courtesy doesn't exist in HIS world. A minute and about 10 cars further along I saw a cloud of smoke, so I immediately (softly) applied the brakes, signaled and moved away from it. Yep, same asswipe, with the whole front of his car mangled all to hell, and his car wasn't moving. About 800 feet along I saw a van pulling over with a crunched rear-end, but it was drive-able. People were honking as they drove around Mr. Congeniality. :D
I felt bad for the person he rear-ended. They didn't need the drama.

What made my day -- two words.
Bison Steak
Wife was asking what was for lunch and to give me some sort of idea of a direction, I asked if she had any supper thoughts. She told me she had already decided, went to the fridge and pulled out two top sirloin BISON STEAKS. Which I barbequed to perfection (rare to medium rare).

Breakfast and supper at "home" everyday. The kids (6 and 12 year old cousins which explains why they won't be here together again) raved about my and my wife's cooking.

So my wife is in mourning over R2D2 dying :roll: So she binge watched the star wars movies in our home theater today in 1080p. It rained all day, so our park plans with the kids were cancelled. I made the mistake of asking her why some guy says "lockness falls in attack position" and she just had to correct me and said "No, white girl, it's "lock S-foils in attack position." to which I replied "what the hell is an S-foil anyway, and why does it have to be locked into an attack position?" To which she replied "Because that's how an X-Wing starfighter works." To which I then replied "wouldn't it be cheaper if they just made them like normal fighters and not spend all the extra money to have wings expand for no logical reason?"
She then asked me to leave the theater. :D

S-foils were movable wings attached to a starfighter sometimes equipped with weaponry. The foils were locked in a closed position in normal flight, but when engaged in combat the foils spread open into an attack position. Notable model to have S-foils was the T-65B X-wing starfighter manufactured by Incom Corporation, posed a distinctive X shape when the S-foils were locked in attack position, which gave the laser cannons mounted on each wing a wider field of firing range.
That is "why". :emot_laughing:

Finding out there's going to be another baby in this house next year.
While being incredibly furious about it. :emot_banghead:
I know the feeling.
Several years ago, my wife and I were discussing how we wanted to be addressed when we became grandparents. We talked about the standard Grandma and Grandpa, the French Grandmaman and Grandpapa and even discussed the Danish terms (they differ depending upon whether the person is the father's or mother's parents).
Anyways, the next day (almost like she read our minds), my oldest calls up and tells me that she is pregnant (thus beginning several months of being refered to as my idiot 17 year old). When my wife got home, I told her that my oldest had called and said "Hi Grandma".
My wife didn't speak to me for 6 hours. And then, because I was there, I got yelled at for 1/2 an hour.
That was about 13 years ago. We just had both of our daughters' sons with us for a couple of weeks. Love them both to the ends of the earth.

Instant Karma is always such fun to watch! :emot_laughing:
Driving to work, following an old Ford pickup pulling a flatbed trailer covered with construction debris. I saw the crap on the trailer bouncing around and decided to switch lanes. A silver BMW was coming up fast along the next lane, so I planned to sneak over behind him, and turned signals on. The idiot in the BMW shot the gap between me and the trailer, and slammed on his brakes due to the speed. Good thing I was already moving into the lane he'd just vacated. As I pull up beside him, a fucking BRICK comes off of the trailer, bounces once on the road and shatters his windshield.
If he hadn't been a dick, that brick would have been mine. (http://i.imgur.com/DcV2NvJ.png)

Last Christmas, my grandson was given an iPod Touch as a gift. He was quite excited about it. He made a point to get my contact info so that he could communicate via iMessage and FaceTime. Well, it didn't take long for it to get destroyed. It would seem that he set it on the top of his grandmother's (my ex) shed from which it took a 6-8 foot fall onto the ground, totally fucking up the screen. I didn't find out about it being broken until he and his cousin were out here at the beginning of August.
I had his mom send me the broken iPod in hopes that I could get it repaired. I can afford the repair fees better than mom can. Well, the bad news is that it could not be repaired. The good news is that I am sending him a brand new 32gb iPod Touch with AppleCare+. And, I am not telling them about it. I'm just going to send it. ;D
I'm not necessarily happy about spending the money for the new device but I feel real good deep down knowing that I can make his day.

Also, for some strange reason, the cicadas have shut the fuck up for the first time in months!
My four year old even said "what happened to the loud bugs, mommy?"
Fuckin' hate cicadas. Every god damn summer they don't shut up for months.

Wanted a day away and learned that my (kind of) niece was moving into her college dorm yesterday. And offered to drive out and help her out. She is kind of shy. So after a couple of hours of moving in, I went out to get something for lunch while she unpacked. When I got back, there were 2 guys in the hall. They were cute freshmen. To my nieces horror, I invited them into her room to meet her. Then I offered to split our food, since they were hungry. They hung out and helped us with some running electrical cords, hooking her tv up, getting carpet down right, and other stuff. She became more open with them. After a couple of hours we were all laughing and acting goofy together. One of the guys suggested she hang out with them tomorrow (they don't start classes until Tuesday). She was super excited they asked her to join them. She's such a good kid, but needs to come out of her shell more easily.
She texted me a picture a few minutes ago of her and the two guys and about 10 other kids 'hanging out'. She thanked me for introducing me to them yesterday.
Wouldn't it be so great to go back to college.

I'd love to experience college again with the skill set I have now. Unfortunately, college is all about acquiring a skill set.
Except nowadays most idiots just take gender studies.

The excitement my nieces face shows at getting to go back to school. She even had her outfits picked out two days in a row, the night before. over the next week, that will likely morph in to her choosing her clothes in the morning while pulling 3 shirts off the hangers and 3 bottoms, all to be deposited on the floor, only to be left for me to hang back up.

Spent the day shopping with the baby and my sisters knocked up :emot_banghead: Fiancée. Love that girl, but it's starting to sink in that she has a Human being growing inside of her. We had a great time. Went to lunch at an amazing pizzeria. She devoured almost the whole thing before I even finished one slice. :roll:
We also have a problem with her dropping her British accent. She says it's because she lives here and her future is here, but we all love her cute Brit accent. :roll: My sister can't stand it when she switches.

She is bold, open, is interested in many of the things I am. She is in the comic business and is a strong personality with good self-confidence. As bold and open as she is, she is cautious and careful. And has a crazy wit. She offered both a kiss and her touch. I crave feeling someone's body next to mine when we click. I am relaxed and very pleased in here company.
She told me she likes me. In no uncertain terms she told me she wants to see me again.

My sister cuted us into paying for everything. She rubbed her girls pregnant tummy and reminded us they're college students. Who live in their own house, have a car I gave them, and get their money from us. :roll:

Football Sunday. About 10 guests invited over. A number of my brother in laws friends coming over. He'll be very happy. My friend, my mom and one of the guys girlfriends helping with lots of food. Can't wait. A lot of laughs. AND I have 0, 0 in the football squares for the Detroit vs Nashville game in the first quarter and lots of 7's and 3's in other squares. $ yay
Also, other than my friend having to run back to her place a couple of times. I've been able to spend the entire weekend with her. It has been so great. I love her so much.
This morning when I woke up. She was still sleeping, but we were holding hands. What a great way to wake up. Need to turn the A/C cooler, it was too hot. I remember cuddling when we fell asleep, but gosh was I hot this morning.

Well, my football squares didn't work out as planned. The Lions got a safety right away and messed up the numbers for me for the whole game. 2-0 earlier in the game. Ugh
What made my day........... My mom didn't come to the party. Okay not nice Jules, but when daddy said, "Mom has a headache and is stayin home today." I was ver happy.
A lot of fun. Finally got everything cleaned up at 9:00. 7 hours of football.
Best part of the day was hearing my brother in law laughing with his friends. He doesn't do that very often. Even my niece noticed. "Daddy is laughing a lot today."

We received notice from the insurance company that my roofing job passed inspection, so now we are insured! Hurray!
We have a foam roof. Some of the coating was worn away exposing the foam. It took a while because it was raining so much. But I finished painting on the new roof coating Tuesday. The coating is a new silicone type. It is supposed to last 50 years. What I don't like about the silicone is that it does not stay white, but yellows in the sun.
The dumb inspector had no idea what he was looking at. We live in a galvanized steel house that was the framed out in wood on the inside. The roof is also galvanized steel. But in the sun it will flex as the heat causes it to expand and contract. It leaked a lot before the coating. Part of his report said that our roof was "bowed". We had to explain this was natural for our kind of structure. And yes, the whole house is grounded in case of a lighting strike.

Yay, Lois.
Inspectors. UGH
When we remodeled our upstairs to make two bedrooms into 1 bedroom and master bath, the inspectors were relentless. Lots of money in engineering for the support of the weight of the bathtub and shower, yet they didn't want to believe the engineers reports. The lead engineer used to work for this inspection company our city uses. Got that solved and the HVAC inspector comes to the house and uses a micrometer on the duct work. It was .001" too light. .001" 1/1000 So, HVAC company gets back out 6 days later, they use their micrometer and it shows okay. So come to find out the inspectors micrometer was out of calibration. After drywall went up, they wanted it taken back down to make sure the wood studs were protected by metal wraps where wire passed through the studs, so a nail or screw wouldn't go through and hit the wire. This is after they already said it was okay to proceed with drywall, but the previous inspector forgot to check the box for that. I HATE THESE GUYS.
I'm happy that you're happy!
Galvanized Steel. I imagine it as being very pretty.

The 39 to 1 long shot team in the World Cup of Hockey is through to the finals.
The Canadian team (pre-tournament favourite) plays Team Europe in the best of 3 final beginning on Tuesday.
Team Europe is made up of players from 8 different countries. Quite an accomplishment for a team that has no history and probably has no future (the format for the next World Cup of Hockey has not been determined).

A Walther P22. Shoots .22 long rifle. A plinking gun.
Hey Katie......
if you can still find one (they are collector's weapons now). Savage Arms used to make a great "bolt action" .22 cal. tube feed rifle. The gun could handle a mix of rounds, short, long, long rifle all at once. you don't have to worry about what to buy for ammo. The biggest hurdle for you might be simply "do you like bolt action rifles". But all in all .22 cal. are fun to play with and are great for killing beer and soda cans.

I let myself into my friends place. She was talking with her mom on the phone and motioned for me to sit down and held up her index finger letting me know that she would be off the phone in a minute. I could only hear her part of the conversation.
A couple of minutes later, her mom must have asked about me because my friend looked at me and said, "I'm really glad you like her, mom. I like her too. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's the one."
She paused as her mom responded then said, "Yes, I love her with all my heart. I've never felt this way about anyone. Julie is the person I've been waiting for. I love her so much."
I had a pretty good today.

Going to change this subject to "What made your YEAR" for this post.
I let myself into my friends place. She was talking with her mom on the phone and motioned for me to sit down and held up her index finger letting me know that she would be off the phone in a minute. I could only hear her part of the conversation.
A couple of minutes later, her mom must have asked about me because my friend looked at me and said, "I'm really glad you like her, mom. I like her too. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's the one."
She paused as her mom responded then said, "Yes, I love her with all my heart. I've never felt this way about anyone. Julie is the person I've been waiting for. I love her so much."
I had a pretty good today.
Congrats, Best News Ever............ This made my day to hear that.....
Love, Liz

I'm not better, but I'm not worse. And my wife's ego got inflated even bigger when she was told her efforts to care for me have made a big difference.

Got a call from my friend. She's skipping out of work, she told them she's not feeling good (she fibbed). Guess I'll do the same. She's stopping at a Redbox and we are going to crash on her couch and watch movies this afternoon as we play hookey.

I left work yesterday before noon. Was at my friends laying on the couch together watching movies. I fell asleep for an hour. She put another movie in, I fell asleep. At 4, I went home and sat down, fell asleep for a couple hours. So far, I had gotten about 4 hours sleep. We ate dinner and sat down I fell asleep for another hours. I went to bed at 10pm and got up at 5:30am. So in the last 19 hours, I got about 12 hours of sleep. It felt soooooo goooooood. :)
The last two weeks I haven't been sleeping very well. So it was perfect.

We had so much fun at the football game last week, we're going again. Dumping the crutches in the car and hobbling in. Senior night for my friends friends son. Her and the dad escort their son across the field at half time. Hot chocolate or coffee. It's chillly in Detroit this evening.
Have a nice Friday evening everyone. :-*

The difference between a kid and an adult enjoying sloppy joes -- the size of the mess. ;D
I might have to do that for supper tonight. Thanks for the idea.
We had them last week. I like to put the meat on the bottom bun, then layer BBQ potato chips on top, then the top bun. Mmmmm my mouth is watering. All the sloppy that hits the plate, I scoop up with another bbq chip. I will only eat sloppy joes with very close family members, never friends. It' a very private intimate thing. ;)

Speaking of potato chips. I found 'Dill Pickle chips' at my local grocery yesterday. I was so happy. Lays use to make them, then stopped. Now the grocery store brand started making them. I'm not really a junk food junky, but I love those chips. They are so freaking delicious. :emot_thdrool:

Didn't really make my day, but was funny nonetheless:
Stuck in jammed rush hour traffic, going nowhere fast. The guy behind me is driving a new Cadillac Escalade, suit coat on, obvious gold watch band, idly picking his nose, inspecting the result and then eating it.
I guess money really CAN buy happiness... but it can't buy COUTH.

I went to my favorite local bakery this morning and as I waited in line, I could feel someone watching me. I turned around to see this really handsome young guy checking me out. (He had to be in his mid 20's) Looking at my ass actually. It really surprised me, because I was wearing my old comfy tight Levi's, and a long sleeve cotton shirt, with no makeup. His eyes met mine for just a second, he smiled slightly at me, then looked away. I turned around and ordered, then looked back in his direction and he was gone, but now there was a young lady sitting across from where he had just been. I pay for my order then walk outside to walk back to the car. Guess who's outside? He watched as I walked past, then winked at me as he talked on his phone. I smiled, then quickly walked back to my car. My husband asked, what are you smiling about? I played it off, because he tends to get jealous, but that really made my day to have that fine younger man checking me out.

Totally bored right now as I'm watching The Voice from the other night. Bear with me as I blabber. It'll make sense by the end. hahaha
So I thought I would have some fun in saying what made my day...........
My brother in law was a big computer geek. When there were major changes in his life, he would title that stage in his life like a software version is named. Some changes were huge and received a version upgrade and some were minor and received a version update. The upgrade or update might by either good or bad.
So, sitting here tonight I started figuring out what version I'm on. Each version has many updates, but too many things to list so I'll just list major upgrades with just a few updates worth mentioning, if some numbers are skipped that is why. Sometimes there are days between updates/upgrades, sometimes months or even years.
0.1 to 0.99 was before puberty
1.0 Puberty
2.0 Discovering boys and sex.
3.0 Going to college, 3.1 Quitting college, 3.2 Joining the army, 3.3 Completing basic training...etc... 3.7 Leaving the army 3.8 - 3.99 My f*d up 20's.
4.0 My engagement to be married. 4.1 Our break- up when I discovered he cheated on me. Luckily before we exchanged vows.
5.0 I suffered a stroke. It was THE biggest life changing moment. I originally left this version upgrade blank, but in August 2018, I posted about it here (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=63967.msg515165#msg515165).
6.0 The passing of my sister 6.1 Moving in with my brother in law to help care for my niece. I had many small updates over that year. Heck, I'll even toss in some KB milestones 6.5 Joined KB 6.6 Becoming a moderator ;)
7.0 First real relationship since 5.0 happened. 7.1 She ended up moving in with me. 7.2 Voted as Perv of the Year by the awesome KB membership. 7.3 I broke up with her. 7.5 I started dating Dan. I wrote a story about it called MEETING DAN. (link) (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=65607.msg546826#msg546826) 7.5.1 Dan moved in with me
8.0 Dan asked me to marry him. 8.1 Traveled overseas for the first time ever. I loved Europe. 8.2 Dan and I exchanged vows of love, but were not married while in Ireland as I had previously told everybody I had been. (long story why we didn't). 8.3 My mother passed away. 8.4 My brother in law passed away. 8.5 Dan legally adopted my niece. 8.6 100 days logged into KB 8.6.1 Some legal matters. 8.7 23andMe DNA. The results messed with my head a little bit. Well, a lot bit. 8.8 Stepped down from my Mod/Admin position at KB. 8.7 was part of it, but there were other reasons.
9.0 Married the most wonderful man in the world on my 45th birthday. July 6th, 2019 9.01 My honeymoon day with my husband 9.1 Returned to moderator position on KB 9.2 Suffered a stroke on Aug 26, 2019. Then a week long stay in the hospital 9.21 almost 3 months after 9.2, back to about 80%, getting better every day if only a bit. 9.3 Retired for the most part. But keeping very busy and active. 9.6 The cabin incident 9.7 While jogging, I was hit by a car. The driver was texting while driving (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=28521.msg583998#msg583998). 9.7.1 Gave Shaver his first boo. Onto my wall he goes. 9.8 Sold something. 9.8.1.1 Told my husband that if I ever had the chance to be with Tom Brady, I'd leave him in a second. He said he's okay with that. 9.9.0 February 18, 2021 celebrated my 5 year anniversary at KB. 9.9.1 March 02, 2021 Picture of my boobs posted on KB. 9.9.2 March 29, 2021 The Sybian type device. I wrote a story about it. (link) (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=75281.0). 9.10.0 May 2021 Life seems unfair sometimes. FU Cancer 9.10.01 Aug 11, 2021 Would love to tell you what this is for, but I can't. 9.10.02 Sep 10, 2021 I will put a description at sometime in the future. Not just yet though. :) 9.11 Nov 19, 2021(fittingly it's version 911) 9.11.01 reset software to many of the settings prior to version update 9.11 9.11.02 Bruce Willis aphasia diagnosis brings some public awareness to the condition 9.11.03 KB family. (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=21526.msg623717#msg623717) 9.12 My father passed away. Hard because it was so sudden. 9.13 Marital 9.14.

This afternoon I saw my comic book artist again. After two months of talking, meeting for lunch and drinks. we were supposed to meet at a massage parlor for a deep tissue massage.
Vinney, Watcher, get your minds out of the gutter. It's a legit business.
Unfortunately, they were too busy to let us in.
Alternative, we went to a restaurant, sat at the bar, she had an interesting Tequila cocktail, I had some MaCallium 12 year old, neat. We sat and talked about ourselves again, talked about international politics in the 19th century, talked about near death experiences, talked about our families. Shared crab balls in a spiced coconut sauce.
We got ready to leave, and I told her I really wanted to take her to dinner.
She said she would love that.
I walked her to her car, as we talked more.
We stood and I took her face in my hands and thanked her for being so crazy, yet so sane. And kissed her.
Best date with her yet.

A good nights sleep. Cuddling. The house got chilly.
Coming out into the house and looking out the window at the park and noticing the sun on all the beautiful trees whose leaves have changed colors dramatically over the last week.
A fun night in store. Going to the casino this evening and staying in downtown Detroit overnight. A fun and relaxing evening planned.
I might even get my hair cut this afternoon. It is long overdue.

Took the tribe to the park for a Halloween event. My 4 year old got her gorgeous little face painted and looks soooooo cute. The kids had a great time. Even the baby got a cute little witch's hat. :D Then I treated them to lunch at McDonald's. Which was terrible of me, but I had coupons and it was right there.
I fucking love Halloween with my kids. It comes so fast and is gone before you know it. :-[

Went and did some candy shopping and the girl at the register was showing her cleavage. She has big tits, and she's kinda fat but cute. She talks like a she's from the hood, but she's white. She caught me staring, and when it was clear she invited to the office... and she let me bury my face in her boobs. She held my head as I did it.
Now, you're saying "bitch, you one day away from your wedding anniversary... what's wrong with you?"
I had a fight with my wife last night when she asked me how I thought our first year went, and I told her it was great, but had it's ups and downs like her constant lecturing me and treating me like I'm disabled or a child because of my health issue. She expected me to say it's been perfect.
So I did what I did and I enjoyed it. It's not like I fucked her, and I could have. :roll:

Dressing up for Halloween, because it's fun. So far, I'm the only one at work dressed up, even after I sent out an email last week offering a gift certificate to a nearby restaurant for the best costume. Still early though, most people show up at 8:00am.

Halloween was so much fun. Took the kids trick or treating. Mountains of candy. :roll: I met a few junior Ghostbusters who couldn't believe i had a real proton pack and uniform and equipment. They loved seeing it lit up. :D
Now today is half off candy day. :D
My 4 year old put herself into a sugar coma. :roll: She passed out with an empty wrapper in her hand and chocolate on her mouth. So cuuuuute.
Halloween needs to last longer. :-[

Had to get dressed early today (boo). New carpet install day for the master bedroom, walk-in closet and stairs that go up to the master suite.
Stage 1 of renos. Not really major. Next step is probably new kitchen followed by new flooring in the basement and on the stairs that go there.

I went into town.I did what I had to do then I found a seat in the precinct and sat people watching.She was middle aged,about 55 wearing a blue blouse over which she had on short waist length jacket.her trousers were white and tight,very tight.One of two lads standing behind me said look at her you can see her cunt.It was true.Her trousers were so tight that one could see the lips of her pussy.She walked past us oblivious to the stir she was causing. Yes ,she really made my day.

Good brakes and tires on a rain-slick street at 45MPH.
I was driving home an hour ago after a light rain. Hadn't rained in a few weeks, so the streets are amazingly slick. Blowing down a 2-lane road, I see a car at an angled cut through the *wide* center median. Sitting. I'm still oncoming. Still sitting. Still sitting. I get RIGHT THE FUCK on top of 'em, and she pulls out. If I'd skidded even a little, I'd have rammed her; it was that close of a near-miss.
As I begin to breathe again, I notice the handicap plates and a damned little CHILD in the passenger seat. Yeah, I can see why you're handicapped, but your friends shouldn't let you drive, as lousy at it as you are. You have REALLY shitty friends, if they haven't told you that YOU SUCK behind the wheel.

Yes, the Cubs won the World Series.
One more time: The Cubs won the World Series.
It's impossible to explain what this means to someone who doesn't understand. So I won't.
It hadn't happened in my lifetime, my father's lifetime, or my grandfather's lifetime.

She helped lighten my heart today. She is the most sane crazy person I know. She suggested, and we went to the Hot Stone Massage today. Had a couples massage. It was so nice. She bought me a coffee afterwards.

I'm safely sure that Little Willy wasn't running around without me. I may be getting older, but in no wise senile. Luckily it doesn't run in our family.
I've seen a couple of women wearing a super-fine glitter above their eyes, and that's what it looked like (not the grade school variety). I'm utterly stumped: I wear tight jeans, and it'd be truly hard to get something in 'em without me knowing it. I got pranked somehow, kudos to whoever pulled it off! :emot_bigokay:
Hopefully it was one of the women...
STILL not sure I have it all off of my ass, though. It's hard to see back there. The naughty bits are clean now. "No, I was just cleaning it, REALLY!!" ;D

It just makes my day coming to KB and getting to experience our talented and intelligent members. I'm not just talking about Herschel here, it's everybody. Too many people and instances to point to.
KB isn't just some porn site to come to to 'get off' as I first thought of it when I joined in February. It's a wonderful group of individuals who I look forward to hearing from every day.

A day off! It's been a whirlwind the last 3 days. Still having a few family members over before they head back to California, but it is low key and we are just going to relax and hang about the house. Maybe play some games with the kids while the football games are on.
The visit from hell actually turned out quite nice. So, that made my day last week. :)

Good brakes and common fucking sense!
Blowing down the 635E between Royal and Walnut Hill, traffic is iffy at the tag-end of Rush Hour. I see a few cars ahead (not all) do a panic stop, so I gingerly hit the brakes (I'd left plenty of stopping distance). Out of nowhere, a child's playhouse goes skidding across in front of me from the left lane towards the right lane. The little bit of brakes turns into a little more brakes... I missed it. Not so lucky was the black Dodge Charger to the right of me that refused to slow for probable conditions (panic stops ahead). Next time I look he's a couple of blocks back with the emergency blinkers on, in the middle of 5 lanes.

She could barely lift the large container. I offered to help, then suggested that maybe buying two small bottles instead of one large one would be easier for her.

Wife decided to put up the Christmas tree yesterday. I came home and she was frustrated to no end. The tree is one of those pre-lit ones and about 4 to 6 rows of lights would not light. I took a cursory look at it and basically said we would look at it later.
This afternoon while she was out for a job interview, I decided to take that closer look and found a broken wire. A wire stripper, about an inch of electrical tape and a little bit of know how has resulted in the tree shining the way it is supposed to and very happy wife.

This'll be gross, but I was doing X-mas stuff with the kids today and my 4 year old basically planted herself on my lap. I went through a cup of cocoa, a bottle of water and milk and cookies. Many hours later, I guess the pressure of her sitting on my lap hid it, I had to pee so bad I couldn't walk. I barely made it to a bathroom without exploding.
Holy fuck was it the best pee. I felt soooooooooooo good after. :D

Driving to Springfield, Illinois on Sunday to have a quick Christmas celebration with my friends family. Leaving early, getting home late. It will be nice, but we had to cancel some other plans, that's what I'm disappointed with.
Well, yesterday I had the best day in a long time. It was a long drive to and from, but the in between was a spectacular day that I won't soon forget. Her family is the greatest.
Growing up it was just my sister and I, along with my parents, just the 4 of us. We would occasionally get together with aunts or uncles, but not often. Because of that, we would usually go to Florida for Christmas. But Yesterday! It was just her immediate family, along with their spouses and all the nieces and nephews. 20 of them. It was a really fun day and I wish we could have turned it into a few days. Her mom and dad love me. :) They're super sweet.

Took a scenic route with the dogs coming home from the dog park today. We were going down a major parkway with a tree (now bare) lined boulevard. All of a sudden an adult Bald Eagle swooped down through the trees and was skimming over the snow just a few feet off the ground. It kept flying in and out of the branches, moving ahead of the car. Finally the eagle landed in a tree so I parked and got out grabbing my phone. I moved to where I could get a branch free shot, but that was too close for my feathered friend. Off it went again into a wooded area. Eagles making a major come back, but this was in a heavily populated urban area!
Was that you Watcher????

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.
So, what made my day today? Finding out that the American U-20 Men's Hockey team beat the Canadians twice. Now that's American hockey!

Dec 29 -- New Era Stadium -- Canada - USA OUTDOORS. Do they even have outdoor hockey in the States?
When the Oilers and Jets played outdoors, it was the first time ever that Milan Lucic ever played outdoors. He's from Vancouver and the climate right there on the coast is not conducive to outdoor rinks.

Cool. Kind of a coincidence...... I spent the day at the Detroit Auto Show. We have this little automobile industry thing going on around here in, so the Auto Show is kind of a big deal. The event is super crowded, but a lot of fun. The cars, the models (male and female), the entertainment going on all around the place. And, I had a special access pass to a catered event going on in an off room where I could get anything to eat or drink that I wanted. My favorite car today: The Mercedes-AMG GT Base price $111,000, about $145,000 fully loaded. (pictures link (https://www.google.com/search?q=Mercedes-AMG+GT&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiT5eyJ-MLRAhVrsFQKHTlSD1cQ_AUICCgB&biw=1393&bih=803)) I was considering getting 3...... a silver one, a blue one, and a yellow one. But decided against it as I prefer buying domestic. Plus, I remembered my car is running just fine, so I don't need a new car.

The first week of July will see our 20th anniversary upon us. With my bride with me, I have already completed Project 20 More Years. New matching wedding bands were purchased. My wife liked what we chose (she actually chose them, I agreed that they were by far the best we had seen) but was hemming and hawwing. After all, we have 6 months before the anniversary. But, they might not be available the next time we come into the store.
She has hers already -- it didn't need resizing. I will get mine next weekend.

Yesterday......
We just relaxed and had a fun. My friend and I did a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle throughout the day. My niece had two friends over. We played games, played bowling on my nieces Wii, TRIED to teach her and her friends how to play ping pong. The friends slept over and at the by the end of the night we had lost our bed to the 3 little ones as they fell asleep to Finding Nemo. We were in our p.j.'s all day and just did nothing of importance except spend time having fun together. I think the Barbie village was hit by a tornado last I looked. She'll be cleaning that up today. The 5am alarm came way to early and sleeping on the couch wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Just logged into the bank, and the radiology lab refunded MOST of the fee I'd paid in December for a full MRI.
That helps loads, as I've been carrying over $5K on my credit card this last 5 weeks. Buying another car in early December pretty well wiped out my finances, when you add in the shit that happened a couple of weeks later. Wrapped around the new year, I got hit with TWO year's worth of deductibles on the insurance in short order.

So, after I told them to get screwed, I'm not paying anything for your toys. Then it all came down to "why" was your drone that low in my horses field..?? They wanted my ID......didn't happen. They wanted my address.....get it off the mail box. They wanted to arrest me....good luck, didn't happen, not my fault. They said my horse was a danger.....I said only to idiots. Finally I got tired of the pure bullshit and just called the State Police to come and straighten it out. Went back to the couch, after I brought the horse back into the barn (for some reason I had a strong feeling that something bad was going to happen to my horse). I actually left the local police and the state police at the end of my driveway / road arguing about what to do about me and my horse.

Any good New England Lobsterman will tell you that any lobster above 2 lbs / 2.5 lbs is going to be / have tough meat after cooking. So you did good with a 1.5 lbs . So my next question is were they alive or frozen when you bought them.??

Well, it's day two for my wife in new job number two in the last two weeks. She resigned from the first job on Friday after 4 days of feeling like her life was in danger during the commute home (30 minutes of freeway driving). When the job is what you want but you fear for your life on the drive, you gotta bite the bullet and go someplace else.
It was on Wednesday of last week that she got a call from a company that she had interviewed with asking if she was still available. It would seem the person they hired wasn't working out. The commute to this second place -- 15 minutes and no freeway driving. It has now been two days of a relaxed wife coming home. So that's what has made my day today.

Going exploring on Saturday. I got permission from the new owners of an abandoned horse farm to poke through the barns and take what ever I wanted. I don't expect much but the idea of being able to creep and crawl around a farm that has been abandoned for over 125 years is to good to pass up.
Love, Liz

I'd like to find some old bits. (for those that aren't horsey crazy "Bits" are the steel that goes in the mouth of the horse, in the 1800's those bits could be very ornate or very plain).

NO SNOW THIS MORNING! :emot_updwn: Earlier in the week up to 12 inches of snow was predicted for Minneapolis. As the week progressed the storm kept moving south and the predicted inches lowered to only 3 to five inches as of last nights prediction. Looked out the window at 5:30 when I woke up...not of fucking flake! Woo Hoo!
Just south of us high winds and 8 to 12 inches of snow. We may still get a few inches. Big whoop. It's that time of year when I declare, "If God put it there, God can take it away.

Our contractual obligations to our cell phone provider has ended. Made a phone call and made a change in our plan and ended up saving $40.00/month. From our perspective, we lose nothing in terms of what is provided to us as we are not heavy users of the devices and we gain 1 GB of data usage.
The CFO is quite happy that we don't have to change providers. And we are saving money.

We had a week and a half of super warm days for a northern location. Highs in the 50s and 60s. That brought some Trumpeter Swans and a few Canada Geese back to a refuge 80 miles north of us. Took a quick day trip there and found most of them right in town at a small lake. Got my first pictures of the "spring migration"...about a month earlier than normally.
I think I also saw a couple of KBers there too. From off the lake, I heard a loud "Bite Me!", followed by "OK, you asked for it!". I got a few pictures of the encounter, like this one. (http://i.imgur.com/OYa0EPE.jpg) Vinney, Liz???? Were you guys in Wisconsin yesterday? :emot_laughing:

I went poking and turned on a tablet. I shouldn't have gone snooping but it was neglected by the owner to turn it off and when I pushed the power button I got this:
And lots of other pictures of Amy Jo Johnson. And... others.
I'm pretty sure the owner of the tablet was running a scenario in their mind starring the pink power ranger. I turned it off and put it back. And I won't ask questions even though I really should. :roll:
But it made my day because I've done the same so I can't judge. :facepalm:

Temper, temper. Holes in the ground and theatre rooms are not selling points that people are willing to pay more for. To get an estimate on your house worth check the taxing agency and compare similar square footage houses in your neighborhood, both for tax amounts and for similar houses that have recently been sold.
I work in the financial industry for a company that does outsourcing for mortgage companies.
I have more than a passing knowledge of these things.
So, yes, I do know squat. A great deal more than your mother.

After 3 weeks of intense issues in timing, access to subject matter experts, missed review deadlines I thought the writers in our documentation group should get a little relief. I passed around a copy of things Klingon Tech Writers say.
The grey funk lifted and team spirits were raised without the use of alcohol.
Quote
Klingons do not sit in meetings, we take what we want and kill anyone who opposes us!
Certification?! Taking your head and putting it on a pike in my office is all the certification I need!
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!!
Not returning my review copies by the agreed deadline is a declaration of war. Indeed, it is a good day to die.
These software specifications are for the weak and timid!!
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.
You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you’ve read it in the original Klingon.
Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
What is this talk of “drafts”? Klingons do not make document “drafts”. Our documents escape, leaving a bloody trail of SMEs in its wake!
Passive voice is a sign of weakness. Its elimination will be quick.
Proofreading? Klingons do not proofread. Our documents are purified with pain-sticks which cleanses the documents of impurities.
I have challenged the entire Marketing and R&D team to a Bat-Leh contest! They will not concern us again.
A TRUE Klingon warrior riddles his document with bullets, leaving it to beg for mercy. By changing the layout of my manual, you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to die!
You question the worthiness of my grammar? I should kill you where you stand! 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!

Being a knight in shining armour for the love of my life yesterday.
About the time she should have been walking in the door, my wife called me. Nothing overly strange as sometimes she is held up at work. This time she was still at work but only because her car wouldn't start. So, I got up off the couch, got dressed for going outside, drove to her work location and boosted her car.
Went out and bought a battery charger and applied it to her car. Fully charged now.

Over the weekend, we had snow fall on Friday night and through most of the day on Saturday. The contractors who move the snow were out on Saturday morning and got warned off because they were too early (noise by-law here says you can't be using leaf blowers, snow blowers, lawn mowers, etc before 9 AM on weekends). Anyways they returned after 9 and finished doing their usual shitty job. Sunday morning they were back because of the snow that fell and drifted on Saturday after they left. They did an even shittier job because all they did was use the leaf blowers. Where it had drifted, they just shrugged their shoulders and left the drift where it was.
After several e-mails to the manager of the prime contractor (these guys sub out the work), the workers were back this morning with snow blowers and shovels getting the job done properly. THAT made my day today.

I accidentally walked the check in a restaurant at lunch. Long story, but there were distractions, and it completely slipped my mind. 30 miles down the road and the manager calls me, and asked if I meant to leave without paying. I was mortified and offered to turn around or give him a credit card number over the phone. "No worries. Lunch is on us. I just wanted to make sure you weren't displeased with anything we did." New customer for life.

The dine and dash king. hahaha That happened to me before. Walked out on a $20 bill. I thought my friend paid, she thought I paid. A couple of drinks. We got in the taxi taking us back to the hotel and I handed her $10. She said "what's that for." "The bill." "I didn't pay, I thought you did." I called them and gave them my credit card with an extra tip.
I just had a good day. Worried a bit about someone, but all is good.

At the dog park this morning saw a flock of Canada Geese flying over. Must have been over 20 honking as the flew.
PHTLC...There were some Canadian Geese flying just behind them...going, "honk 'eh, honk 'eh". ;D
Spring migration underway I hope. Heading down to the river this weekend to see if there's more arriving flocks.

Settled a huge case yesterday in court. The plaintiff and defendants hugged each other and cried, when the ageeement was read into the record. The judge pointed at me and said, "You did a GOOD job." Those are the moments that make me glad I went to law school.

First, my dad just can't keep his cock out of things. And I doubt he's the last lost sibling I have. :roll:
Second, he seems like a great kid. He was sooooo happy to find out he has a big sister.
Third, his mom said she can tell we both share the same DNA and level of maturity. ;D
It's weird knowing I have a brother. I've never had anything but girls in my life. :roll:
Congratulations. :)
Yes, it's wonderful having a father who never could control himself. :facepalm:

On Tuesday, one of the company's suppliers came in for his monthly visit and as he usually does, he left a 1/2 dozen doughnuts with me at the security desk. I offered my boss 1, took 1 for myself and then distributed the other 4 to who ever happened by.
The same gentleman was in on Thursday and asked if we wanted something different the next time -- muffins, cookies, whatever. I thanked him and told him the doughnuts were fine. Because there are only two security staff on when he comes in, 6 is too many for us so we share. I made sure to tell him how much we appreciated his gesture.

And now -- what made my day on St. Patrick's Day was the laugh I had courtesy of my 100% Danish (born in Canada to Danish immigrants) wife.
I told her the 17 March was speak Danish Day. After all, the Irish are simply Vikings who didn't go home after raiding. She had no come back for that so her reply was that I made it up.
The city of Dublin as we know it was actually founded the the Vikings. There was a small settlement there when the Vikings arrived but it was the port that the Vikings built that resulted in the city growing to what it is now.

What made my day (and all the females in the office). We have a new UPS guy and he walks in with his chiseled chin and dark tan and dark eyes and best of all, a flat brimmed cowboy hat that is the same color as his uniform (Like pic below only in brown.) A couple of girls were at lunch and missed him, so about an hour later, I caught them all gathered around one of the computers looking at the security video checking him out. I had to yell at them. Then got a laugh when said I was going to order something on Amazon for Monday delivery. Just ruggedly handsome guy. I don't know if that hat is allowed by UPS. I might have to confiscate it.

Thinking about that trip to St. John's years ago with a certain tall, lithe Norwegian girl. We stayed at Caneel Bay. The bungalows weren't air conditioned, and the walls were slatted to allow sea breezes to circulate. She was rather enthusiastic in bed, and I'm certain all our neighbors got an earful. Her breath tasted like rum, and her skin smelt of coconut oil... heaven.

Beautiful, yes. But, apparently, one of the guys at the plant got attacked as he was walking to his work unit yesterday.
As for today, the fascia on my chimney is fixed-ish. It is tacked down and will not fly off if the wind picks up. It got torn flapping in the wind the past few days and needs to be replaced. AND, the fix job was no cost. I've asked the roofing company to fix it properly and they will be in touch in a few days to finalize times.
And my roofer is female and is smoking hot. ;D

I'm not sure this belongs here, but because of how poorly my mom treated me in my life, I take a little joy when something harmless pisses her off. So, it made my day.
Before telling the story that irked her, you should know that I broke up with my girlfriend 3 weeks ago. Please...No 'I'm sorry' or anything. It's fine. It's for the best. And I'd prefer not talk about it either here or in PM. Thank you.
So, my niece and I, along with my parents, were invited to Easter Dinner at my brother-in-laws brothers house, I'll call him Jack. Sitting eating, the conversation turned to my break up. Jack gives me a serious look and says, "Jules, you're a good catch. Don't let this bring you down. Hold your head up high, be confident and get out there and write your name in as many bathroom stalls as you can." I laughed along with everyone else.
His 20 year old daughter says, "Don't worry aunt Julie, we'll go out and pick up guys together." That shut her protective daddy's mouth up.
Then she adds, "Wait, are you going to date girls now? Or guys again?"
I said, "I don't know. I guess it depends."
"So you're bi-?"
I think about it and nod.
My mom says, "Can we stop talking openly about sinning at our Easter dinner celebration."
Everybody shuts up for a moment. My daddy breaks the silence with, "Hey, there's an upside to being bisexual, you have twice as many prospects."
My mom got up from the table.

His mom asked me if I could look after him today, he got hurt at school so he's taking a few days off. We're going to the park with the baby and dog and then out to lunch.
I can't believe I'm excited to spend time with him. Only because it's still so fucking weird having a little brother who's my daughters age. :roll:

Lessons From the Dog Park
Here we are, first of May. Temps in the upper 30s and a chilling mist falling. The two Bassets I'm a dog walker for hopped in the Basset Limo for their daily visit to the dog park.
There were only a handful of people and dogs braving the day. Us two-leggers were bundled up and grousing about the weather, generally feeling sorry for ourselves.
The dogs? Running and playing. Sniffing butts. Chasing each other and generally having fun. There was sniffing of the trees and fence to pick up the latest "message"...lifting a leg to leave a reply. In short, they didn't give a damn about the weather. They just took what they got and made the most of it.
There's so much we can learn from our "dumb" animal friends just by paying attention.
BTW: I did inform my two that it was a 3 - P day...Poop, pee and pack it in. :D

Here we are, first of May. Temps in the upper 30s and a chilling mist falling. The two Bassets I'm a dog walker for hopped in the Basset Limo for their daily visit to the dog park.
There were only a handful of people and dogs braving the day. Us two-leggers were bundled up and grousing about the weather, generally feeling sorry for ourselves.
The dogs? Running and playing. Sniffing butts. Chasing each other and generally having fun. There was sniffing of the trees and fence to pick up the latest "message"...lifting a leg to leave a reply. In short, they didn't give a damn about the weather. They just took what they got and made the most of it.
There's so much we can learn from our "dumb" animal friends just by paying attention.
BTW: I did inform my two that it was a 3 - P day...Poop, pee and pack it in. :D
Dogs are the best. :)

Got an e-mail on Thursday from the head instructor asking if I could do the afternoons this weekend for motorcycle training. Turned into Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. An easy $200.00 . A lot of fun despite the rainy and cold weather we experienced.

After three days of soggy weather, today I made a nice visit to the neighborhood I grew up in, bright sun shining down on trees in full leaf and ornamentals in full blossom. Lots of houses with solar panels on the roof. Most of the old houses are still there, including two I once lived in, one of which my grandfather built. Lots of new houses in places where we used to play ball or hunt rabbits, but generally speaking the neighborhood looks well kept. Nesting swans in a pond that never had swans when I was a boy. Vehicular traffic has increased by a factor of I would say ten times what it was when I was a lad. Fancy lunch with my oldest friend, with whom I used to play in his backyard sandbox.

Two weeks ago, I took my car in for some relatively simple work -- oil change, check the brakes, replace the rear wiper blade (and arm cuz I was stupid) and check out the shuddering I was experiencing on acceleration. Turns out my car needed a new clutch. I'm thinking "Oh boy. Big bill coming."
The made my day --- free clutch. While there was no recall on these things, Ford extended the warranty on the transmission (including clutch) on the 2011-15 Fiestas.
Took it in last Tuesday. Got the call on Wednesday that it was ready. The dealership is close so I'll walk. One small problem -- 40mph winds and raining. I walked in looking like a drowned rat.

Bittersweet day yesterday.
My sister passed away 3 years ago yesterday. We picked my brother in law up and brought him back to the house. We looked at pictures and videos. Some of my sisters friends and family stopped by. It was a beautiful day and fun remembering how much she meant to all of us and how she affected us. Some former co-workers of hers stopped by also. Just a very special day remembering her.
And everybody got a chance to meet my boyfriend. I've gotten a few emails and texts today from people that met him for the first time, saying that I appear very happy. Which I am. My parents also got the chance to meet his daughters as they stopped by for a bit. Such sweet girls. Love them too.

Great day! I got some really great drugs, followed by deep anal penetration! Most action I've seen since....since, well I guess my last colonoscopy. :emot_laughing:
The downside was only getting four hours of sleep, drinking 4 liters of Golytely and no doubt increasing our water bill for this month after all the toilet flushings. :facepalm: Better news, only one teeny polyp found, so I don't have to do this again for five years, rather than the three year gap since my last one.
Joking aside, any of you over 50, or with family history of colon cancer, get your check up scheduled. Really, good drugs and best of all, early detection if there is something up the old "poop chute". (other than your head ;D)

Getting a green-light from the cardiologist earlier today. He's quite pleased with my recent changes in diet (http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=54045.msg466668#msg466668), although he still nags about smoking. He's not nearly as strident as before, since I'm making an effort.
His nurse / medical assistant confided that I was in better shape than anyone my age that he'd seen, so please take his grumpy-ness with a grain of salt. :D
Though truthfully, I don't have any cardiac artery disease any longer, since he put a stent in to correct the one small area where there was an obstruction. His angiogram look at all of the other arteries around the heart read "no significant artery disease" for each spot he looked at, which translates to "no significant arteriosclerosis anywhere" (what killed my dad and his brother). I finally got him to agree that LDL cholesterol doesn't CAUSE arteriosclerosis, it's merely a risk factor for it. Since I'm pushing 60 and don't have it yet, the other elements aren't in place to cause a problem.

Yes, we made it through the door.
He had to take a work call just before we got to my house. Just after entering the house, I got his attention for a moment and told him I was going to put on my bathing suit, as we were going to relax by the pool for the remainder of the afternoon. I changed into one of my most daring 2 piece and headed back downstairs.
When he caught sight of me, it distracted him from his phone call. To distract him further, I handed him some sunscreen lotion and asked him to do my back. As he was applying it, I untied the string at the back of the neck and asked him to lotion me on the back of my neck. He knew what I was doing .......teasing him. I felt the other tie at the back release. I turned my head and, mockingly, gave him an appalling look. Holding my top on in front with my forearm, I turned and sat in his lap and squirted some lotion in his free hand and placed it on my upper chest.
He abruptly said into the phone, "Guys, I have to go. I'll report on the rest of the trip in the office on Monday."
After he set his phone down he pulled my arm away, along with my top.
End of story... Use your imagination from there Mr nosy MSSlave.
We did make it out to the pool a couple of hours later.

I don't know if this qualifies as a made my day thing but --- the bin has been delivered this morning. The destruction of the kitchen can begin in earnest. Kinda scary if you ask me. A complete gutting and reno of the kitchen. New cabinets, floor, plumbing. The only thing not really being touched is the location of the electrical boxes for the lights on the ceiling (way too much work involved for that).
We are doing the demolition part ourselves and paying others to put everything back together. It will be an interesting 4-6 weeks without a functioning kitchen.

OK. So I got half of the cabinets off the wall yesterday. Had a tile removing machine reserved and was all set to go with kitchen demo. Well, the tile remover that I had reserved was broken. I go home, put on my safety gear and start whacking away with a pry bar and sledge hammer. I got half the tile removed from the kitchen before help showed up at about 11 AM.
Between my wife and a family friend working away at the remaining tile and my brother and I taking down the rest of the cabinets and destroying, we were done is just over an hour.
We still need to scrape the hardened thin-set off the sub floor but I must say that kitchen reno is off to a good start.

In his early 20's, my boyfriend used to detail cars to help pay his way through college. He now has a job with one of the Big 3 but his love of detailing cars never wore off.
I drove his car to work yesterday and he stayed home and cleaned my car up. Wash, wax, carpet shampoo, door jams all cleaned. All the leather and vinyl cleaned and conditioned. Car mats scrubbed clean. Wheels are very glossy and tire rims sparkling. It looks brand new. I was so excited. He even opened the hood of the car to show me, and the darn engine looks brand new.

What made my day -- the contractor to put my kitchen walls back will be here Monday morning at 9 AM with dry wall in hand (or probably in truck). Still a month or so before we have a fully functioning kitchen but progress is being made.

Still a month. ugh. Well, at least during the summer, a lot of cooking can be done outside. Or to get away from the scene, just be outside. I made the mistake of doing a kitchen remodel in Winter. I was stuck in the house with plastic hanging between rooms. My cooking was done on a hotplate. The refridgerator in the garage. I don't like the cold so, just to get out, I'd go walk our nearby mall. That ended up being expensive.

I know they'll be back, as my neighbors haven't cleared them out yet. At the moment, I'm getting a good night's sleep.
Edit, one week later: they're BACK again. Two or three of the little bastards were chewing on my legs last night. Unfortunately, bed bugs aren't as fastidious as cockroaches are: bed bugs rarely clean themselves. Even if they walk all over the micro-encapsulated poison that I've laid down, it doesn't do any good until they clean themselves and ingest it. One of 'em from last night died shortly after it's meal. Apparently they DO clean on occasion after a blood meal. Shit. I'm back to Whack-A-Mole.

Obviously wasn't me that you were watching. My gut gave me a horrible night of interrupted sleep.
On the bright side, I'm sitting here waiting for the cabinets to be delivered. They need to "acclimate" for a day before the actual installation. Friday morning is the installers clean up and the counter top measurement (quartz). Next Monday is the start of the flooring installation.
A lot of sitting around waiting for stuff to happen then watching it happen.

I'm changing employer soon, and I found out today that somebody I currently work with went and found a quiet place for a cry when they found out.
It's an odd thing to be pleased about, but this is one of those places where people normally only tell you if you're doing something wrong, it's a really negative place (that's a big part of why I'm going). It's just nice to know that somebody actually thought I was making a positive difference, and will miss me.

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. In my defence, I've only done counter plugs once before and didn't notice the clipped tabs.
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.
So, the schedule for next week is --
1. New flooring installed on Monday 2. Cabinet installation inspected by the vendor on Tuesday 3. Installation of new over-the-range microwave/range hood on Wednesday 4. SFA on Thursday 5. Back to work on Friday 6. Counter tops installed on 4 August. 7. Plumbing and dishwasher reconnected on 9 August (5/6 are weekend, 7/8 I'm working).
Then, it's back to normal.

I've got a kitchen floor again. Replaced the ugly ceramic tile with vinyl tile.
Boy, what a difference in price. Ceramic tile install would have been between $4,500 and $6,000 not including the price of the actual tile. The vinyl tile including installation came in at $1,700. We've got 2 bathrooms, a stairway and small area at the garage entrance that are going to get the same treatment in the future.

I'm much happier without tile. It's always cold in the winter and I don't like cold. Against everybody's warnings, I had cork put in my bathroom. The flooring people were okay with it saying it will be waterproof, but the contractors and even city inspector warned against it. I love my cork, it's unique and beautiful. I would actually love it in the rest of the house.

Because it's not the bathroom, I think you would have no issues with cork in other rooms of the house.
What made my day today --- I've got a working microwave again. Brand new, 2 years old, over the range (bought it and it sat in our basement for two years). If we want, we can put the fridge and stove in place and do some proper cooking.

I'm sorry, but I don't recognize her when she's not upside-down with a dick in her mouth.
Which porn star? Looks a little like Belladonna, but I'm the wrong person to be guessing faces.

Enjoying watching two humming birds drink from one of the feeders. They flutter, then dart to the other side then back to the orange tree. Then comes the other one. In about two minutes they will repeat. Based on male birds having the colors, I surmise the one with the red on his head is a he.
Not what you look for on a sex board but they work so hard for so little.

Hummers are great...meaning the birds :facepalm: (Did I just forget this is a sex board.)
I love watching them. Once in Mexico a wildlife refuge let us in before they opened so I could photograph their Humming Birds. They had several feeders and there must have been over 100 coming and going. Some were considered rare too. As cute as they are to watch, there was some aggressive behavior as they competed for a spot at the feeder.

We sold a bronco 11, our 26 ft holiday rambler trailer and our diesel crew cab 4x4 pickup. Bought a 31 ft gulf stream motor home and a 2013 crew cab 4x4 f150. We are happy. not what you were expecting out of me was it. ;D ;D I still like licking a hairy pussy though.

I'm on the train into London* to collect my youngest (+MrsBoast) from hospital. He went for a routine appointment on Tuesday, and they kept him in to start treatment for a 10mm kidney stone blocking his ureta.
He needs more drastic intervention, but they're giving him a few days at home while they sort surgical calendars.
On the plus side, he got to spend a lot of time with his girlfriend, who lives down in London.
(*Tip for tourists: never drive further into London than you really have to. Drive as far as the M25 and catch a train or the Tube.)

Went up to our favorite wildlife refuge in Wisconsin early this morning. The summer doldrums are gradually ending and more birds are coming out into the open after raising young deep in the refuge. Didn't get any great shots, until...
Driving down the last road, I spotted an adult Bald Eagle in a dead tree several yards off the road. I stopped a ways before it so the Eagle wouldn't fly away. Was able to get many good pictures. (500 mm lens a big help there) (http://i.imgur.com/ADQUqHo.jpg)
I'd been using the roof of the car to support the camera. For some reason, I glanced over my shoulder and above me next to the road was a second Eagle watching me! I started giving him attention and added more good Eagle pictures to the memory card. (http://i.imgur.com/FzR3CAd.jpg)
Made the trip very worthwhile after a so so morning.

She and her people are staying at an extended stay hotel while their new house is being built. "Mom" goes back to teaching soon, so we're going to try and go out 3 times a week to give her some company and relief walks.
I was expected at the hotel. G-Man and I walked in and the lady at the desk said, "Hi you must be Bob." Gus greeted her and the other lady there then they made me a key card for future visits. As Gus and I started to head to the room, the woman started to give me their mail to put in the room, then took it back and said, "No, I want to come with you and say hi to Ruby." As I suspected, she's now Queen of the Hotel!

I know, YOU folks don't think anything about it. I've been a vegetarian for ages, so it's still a novelty for me. I did a bulk cook-up this afternoon of some mango & lime baked chicken to keep me going the next couple of weeks. The pic below is about 6 1/2 pounds (3 kilos) of assorted free-range chicken bits (two sizes of legs and a few breasts).
(http://i.imgur.com/SAC2vLK.jpg)
Of course, life always throws you curve balls. When I started the marinade yesterday evening, the gallon double-zipper freezer Ziplock bag I was using blew the zipper, liberally spraying me, the counters and cabinet fronts, the oven, and the floor with 6 cloves garlic, peeled 12 oz (340 g) mango peeled, pitted & cubed ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice (about 2 limes) ¼ cup + 2 tbsp (90 ml) coconut aminos ¼ cup (60 ml) avocado oil ¼ cup (60 ml) spring water 3 tbsp (20 g) minced fresh ginger 2 tbsp (15 ml) fish sauce (Red Boat 40°N 'cos I couldn't find Son) Zest of 2 limes and the 6 1/2 pounds of chicken
D'oh! :facepalm:
Just so you know, 'free range' is NOT the same thing as 'cage free'. To qualify for 'cage free', all they have to do is open the door of the cage for 5 minutes per day.

Chickens are idiots.
I know a guy who runs a farm, pigs, sheep, chickens, all free-range. The chickens have a big field to wander in, even a small copse, but they insist on sticking to the few feet beside the barn, or wandering underneath a raised section.

I like that my chickens don't go far. One side of my yard has a fence just 4 feet high, and they don't fly over it although they could. It helps that I have a large yard as well.
What I really need now is a goat to munch all the Bermuda grass that has grown since the start of the monsoon. It is so high I'm losing my cats in it. Still it is so fun to watch them pouncing around in it and chasing the grasshoppers and lizards.
There are no grasshoppers or lizards in the chicken's area. Chickens are merciless predators. Fascinating to watch them swallow lizards whole.

Yes, we had a great time. Got an electric scooter for the wife and the rest of use plowed open a path for her though the crowd. Saw lots of livestock. (Yes Liz, there were horses. Wife even got to pet a miniature horse. Only came up to her waist as she sat on her scooter.)
Of course we kept fueled by fair food. All fried and most of it on a stick. Of course there were MINI DONUTS!
Now just have to rest my aching feet. Daughter and her hubby will be here for several more days, so more fun visits in store.

Of course we kept fueled by fair food. All fried and most of it on a stick. Of course there were MINI DONUTS!
Now just have to rest my aching feet. Daughter and her hubby will be here for several more days, so more fun visits in store.
I used to work at Rudy Boschwitz's Milk House, back when he still owned Plywood Minnesota. He's 87 now, so I doubt he still does that. I have great memories of the Minnesota State Fair. Not as big as the State Fair of Texas, but one of the best in America.

Got up at 3 a.m., drove to local gas station, and pulled right up to the pump. I was the only one there, and filled my tank without a bunch of hysterical crying gas babies watching.

My boyfriends daughter was in a car accident a week ago Thursday. It was scary at first. ICU for a few days, then a couple more in the hospital room. Discharged finally on Wednesday. She's finally getting up and showing some interest in doing things. It really sent her for a loop.
She's starting to act like her old self. She didn't even pick up her iphone until yesterday.
So happy she's feeling better. She, her sister, and her dad, went to her grandma's for the night. They'll be back late tomorrow evening.

Tying a certain young inexperienced Russian facedown, and giving her the "Dr. Weismueller" treatment, which involves the disproportionate use of devices and pegging, anal play, and tongue. I'm rather vocal. Noisy actually. So I say things like "Grunt like a pig you filthy whore! Daddy is putting another finger up your ass, you dirty slut!" I'll probably get out the riding crop and leave some marks also. I don't get my enjoyment until she's cum four or five times. Then I can pound her limp body while she sighs. Don't think I'll go to work today...

Saturday I gave a presentation to one of our camera clubs on Sandhill Cranes complete with pictures I've taken over the years. A couple days before that, I got an Email from Shutterfly (commercial),offering me a free photobook, just had to have it done by Tuesday (tomorrow). Sat down Sunday afternoon and using my notes and pictures from my talk, I finished the book in just about 3 hours. Gone all day yesterday, so did the final proofread today and got the order off! The regular price of nearly $40, is now just $16 with shipping and tax! I opted for a large size book than the free one. Now just waiting for it to arrive. :D

I'm excited to announce that today, my boyfriend and I decided to put our cell phones and his daughters cell phones on the same family plan with AT&T. I know, I know, it's not a ring, but it's close, right? ;)
You would think after something big like that, he wouldn't be spending the evening watching the MSU-ND football game at a friends house.

Your story is so better than mine. We'd been living together for a bit over a year, when the Minneapolis City Council started talking about allowing health coverage for "partners". (this was about 30 years ago) I was ready to leave for work when now wife brought this up and said if the city did that, her company would also offer that and would I be interested? As I went out the door, I said it'd be easier to just get married, and off I went.
So you see, much more romance with cell phone plans. :emot_laughing: Anyway congrats on the new cellular relationship.

hahaha. Well, he used to put ketchup on his scrambled eggs. He loves me so much, that when he found out it grossed me out, he stopped doing it. This really shows how much he cares about me. ;) hahaha And no, I didn't request him to stop. Ketchup only comes out when we're having hamburgers or fries at the restaurant.
I just got a text, "State is getting slaughtered. It's bad. Not as bad as the beer...Natural Light, that's all he has. I thought it was a joke."
As for our 'sharing the cell phone plan' post, I was joking about it being a big commitment, though I was teasing him in the ATT store. A couple of the store employees joined in on the fun and came over to congratulate him on this big step in our relationship.

I baked bread yesterday for the first time since my heart troubles. A dark Russian rye for my favorite Russian. The kids interrupted me several times, and I had to make a couple of substitutions for ingredients, but when I pulled those puppies out of the oven, it was the best fucking bread I have ever baked! Crunchy, seedy, almost sweet crust. Fragrant soft interior. Not too dense. Wow. I wonder if I will ever be able to replicate it.

Just got back from our "up north" trip. Went to the top of the state, Ely, MN. On the way we stopped at an old iron mine, now a state park. Went nearly a half mile into the earth and road a tram another quarter mile to the last spot they were mining. Closed in the early 60s and the steel company donated the mine to the state a few years later.
In Ely, we visited the International Wolf Center and saw a couple of the wolves they have there. Then to the other side of town to the North American Bear Center. They put on a good show, as we watch a bear climb up a tree for his food. I got video!
Glad to be back to KB. Did anyone start to like Trump while I was gone? Just wonder'n.

The mining company donating the mine to the state sounds like the same sort of thing that the Hearst family did with San Simeon. They donated the "Hearst Castle" and an area for a visitor centre/parking lot to the State of California rather than continuing to pay for the upkeep of the property. The family kept all of the surrounding land because land isn't expensive to keep up.

The really funny thing is 2 of them went to our security video and watched the footage of when he got out of the van and came in the front door. Then back out again. Oh, to be in my early 20's again.

So it was yesterday, but got back late last night. (For old people that's after 8:30 PM) Our Minneapolis photo club made a group trip to our favorite wildlife refuge in Wisconsin. The Sandhill Cranes are gathering now, prior to their migration in November. There's several thousand now with the number rising to 14 - 15,000.
Being familiar with the refuge, we led the caravan (5 cars) to the best spot to watch as the cranes returned to the refuge after feeding in the surrounding farm fields. Soon a few small flocks came in and before we knew it, the skies were filled with Sandhill Cranes. They stay in close communication, so the cries of their calls filled the air too.
Was happy to share our favorite wildlife spot with the member of our Minneapolis group. (https://i.imgur.com/yVog2Am.jpg)

<fingers crossed> The first Italian sausage & pepperoni pizza I've had in over a decade is just about to come out of the oven. It smells like heaven... ;D
For those of you that don't know me, I've been an organic vegetarian for a LONG time. Now I'm on the AutoImmune Protocol diet (AIP), which restricts damned near EVERYTHING. It's been amusing researching how to make a pizza that I can EAT. I'm past the initial stage of the diet so I've recently added nuts and eggs back in, as I know nobody in my family ever had issues with them.
So, Italian sausage, pepperoni, scallions, artichoke hearts, Kalmati olives, Crimini mushrooms, and Vegan cheddar & mozzarella cheese on a grain-free crust embedded with Italian spices, liberally coated with olive oil & rosemary. I fucked severely with the recipe, so this is a first-time try at it. It looks and smells great.
Edit: SUCCESS on the first try! :emot_cheerlead: The first shot is the Chicago-style crust after it's come out of 20 minutes of 425F (you have to pre-cook these gluten-free pizza crusts), and the second shot needs no introduction. :D

The only thing I'd do differently: about half as much artichoke, as it almost overpowers the sausage & pepperoni.

Wow RF, look at you! It looks and sounds delicious.
I've tried a few home made pizzas and I have rarely had any luck. I do love chicken on it though.
Your picture has my mouth watering at 7:32 am over a pizza.
Congrats on your success. You can uncross those fingers.

Rope has some serious dietary issues, but try Boboli pizza crust. Just brush it with oil, then lay your sauce, cheese, and topping on. My kids don't like delivery any more. "Your pizza is better."

About a month ago, my boyfriends daughter called and asked me to come with her dad to her university for parents day tomorrow. :) Love this girl. I've missed her so much these past 6 weeks. Can't wait to see her. So about this time tomorrow we'll be with her and a bunch of college friends tailgating before and during the game. (not going into the game) NO RAIN PLEASE. Then we're carving pumpkins. So happy that she and her sister get into the spirit of the holidays. I've never missed carving a pumpkin in my 43 years.

I baked bread yesterday for the first time since my heart troubles. A dark Russian rye for my favorite Russian. The kids interrupted me several times, and I had to make a couple of substitutions for ingredients, but when I pulled those puppies out of the oven, it was the best fucking bread I have ever baked! Crunchy, seedy, almost sweet crust. Fragrant soft interior. Not too dense. Wow. I wonder if I will ever be able to replicate it.
Recipe please!

Crunchy, seedy, almost sweet crust. Fragrant soft interior. Not too dense. Wow. I wonder if I will ever be able to replicate it.
Recipe please!
Dark Russian Rye Bread
Ingredients
2 packets of active dry yeast (¼ oz each containing 1½ TB for a total of 3 TB) 2½ cups warm water (about 105 - 115°F), divided ½ cup dark molasses (not blackstrap) ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup butter 1 oz unsweetened chocolate ½ cup whole wheat flour 3 cups rye flour 3 cups unbleached bread flour plus 1 TB, divided 1 cup wheat bran 2 TB caraway seeds, plus 1 optional teaspoon, divided ½ tsp fennel seeds 1 TB instant espresso powder 1 TB minced shallots ¼ cup cornmeal
Directions
In a small saucepan, over low heat, combine 1 cup of water, molasses, apple cider vinegar, butter and chocolate, stirring often. Once the butter and chocolate have melted, add bran and use mixing wand to chop to coarse texture. Allow to cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl combine yeast, sugar and 1 1/2 cup of warm (not hot) water. Let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes. During this time it should get foamy.
In a large bowl whisk together the whole wheat flour, rye flour and 2 cups of white bread flour. Set aside.
In a large bowl for your stand mixer, fitted with a bread hook attachment, combine the flours (except for last cup of white), caraway seeds, fennel seeds, salt, espresso powder and shallots. Turn the mixer on low. Add in the yeast mixture and the chocolate mixture. Mix until smooth and then turn the mixer up to medium speed and continue mixing for 3 minutes. Turn the mixer speed down to low. Add 1/4 cup of the remaining white flour at a time, just until the dough clears the sides of the bowl and begins to work its way up the paddle. This is a very sticky yet firm dough. Be careful not to add too much flour. When pressed, the dough will spring back. You might not use all of the remaining flour.
Place the dough onto a well floured surface and knead by hand until you have a smooth and springy, yet dense dough. *if you prefer, add the dough hook to your mixer and knead over low speed for 2 or 3 minutes and then finish by hand with a few kneads. Form your rich dark brown dough into a ball and place it into a large greased bowl, turning once to cover the dough with oil. Cover with plastic and let rise until *doubled*...about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (doubled is more important than time... I've had dough double in 40 minutes before). Towards the end of the rising time, combine the cornflour, remaining TB of all purpose flour, the optional tsp of caraway seeds and set aside. Preheat your oven to 350° F. When your dough is ready, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the cornmeal mixture over the parchment paper. Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into balls by pulling the edges down and around to the bottom of the ball and pinching to form a seam. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until almost doubled in size and puffy....about 45 minutes to an hour (again, the key word is *doubled*). I do a two finger test by pressing 2 damp fingers into the dough a little. If the indent springs back right away, the dough is not yet ready. If it springs back very slowly...they're good to go. With a serrated knife, slash an X in the top of each ball, about 1/4" deep.
Bake the loaves for about 45 - 50 minutes, until they are crusty and sound hollow inside or your instant thermometer reads 200 - 210°F (temperature is key here... do not let loaf overbake. Remove when you hit your temperature). Allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing (coarse bread with start to fall apart under knife if you do not allow it to cool). Because the loaves start out to be so dark, you will not be able to easily notice them browning while they're baking.
Note: I like to use an egg wash on the loaves before they go into the oven. Sprinkle with additional seeds, caraway, fennel, poppy, sesame... the crust is almost as good as the bread!

I couldn't sleep. Too much on my mind. Just watched the Astros win the World Series and I am so happy because Justin Verlander was my favorite Detroit Tiger before they traded him to Houston earlier this year. I love him and am sure if we ever met he'd fall for me and we'd fall in love together and get married. We'd have two children, a girl and a boy. The boy we would name Justin, and the girl we would name Katharine. And we'd live happily ever after.

I almost forgot one of my favorite experiences last week while I was absent from here.
A week ago Tuesday, I went to see the touring production of LOVE NEVER DIES composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It is the sequel to Phantom of the Opera. But I don't think you need to have seen Phantom to see this. Not to give too much away, it is set 10 years after 'Phantom'. The phantom has left France and arrives in NY on Coney Island and has his own production there. He lures Christine to perform in his show. I was mesmerized. The music was wonderful and I was crying at the end.
The only downer for me is that, unfortunately, my boyfriend had to be out of town and the person I took with me doesn't appreciate the theater and just "doesn't get" what I see in musicals. I guess I should have taken her to the movie theater for the latest Transformer movie showing.

To get a short break from an out of town in-law that is staying at our house, my boyfriend and I went to a downtown Detroit casino hotel for some fun. I won $270 dollars playing blackjack, he won $210 playing craps. That paid for our hotel room and our couples massage. After a wonderful hour long massage we enjoyed our time in our candlelit room looking out over the city lights.
The only bummer was we had to be back home early because he was taking his youngest daughter to a softball camp/college visit today.

About noon, Mark and I went to spend the afternoon with him after some shopping. He was feeling much better so he wanted to go to a cemetery that one of his friends that he served with is resting. It was a beautiful day, cold but sunny. Daddy had brought a six pack and we each had a couple of beers at Ricky's grave site. My dad was very happy as he told us a few stories about him.

I originally intended to move away with her when she was a baby and do just that, but that never happened and in a way I hate it, but I wouldn't have all the other babies and family right now. :-[
But we both agreed what we'd have lost if that happened would have been awful. :D

Back in the days when I worked in industry, the mill was in the middle of the Peak District (a national park), and had a famous stately home on the edge of town, so I worked every bank holiday the mill was running - I got triple time, plus a day off in lieu, and I didn't have to spend the day in traffic jams.

Yesterday he picked up my niece at school, they did homework, he fed her, he took her to see her dad, and had her in bed when I got home last night at 8:30. With dinner on the table for me with a glass of wine. He even had a candle going and turned the lights way down for dinner. Very romantic. Bonus.......... he's a very good cook. :) Then a nice foot rub on the couch where I fell asleep.
And, I'm getting in late this evening, so I am really hoping for a repeat performance by him. Hopefully a few glasses of wine tonight.
Off for the rest of the day. Have a good day everyone.

How sweet. How come no one does anything like that for me? No, it's always mommy clean up my room. Mommy the dog has to poop. Mommy I lost this help me find it. White girl do this and do that and do as I say no matter what. Clean the entire fucking house because no one else will lift a precious little finger. Take care of two babies all day, one of which isn't legally my responsibility. The only person around here who never asks or demands anything of me is the disabled woman in a wheelchair who cleans her own room spotless and never asks me to help her do anything.

Getting to the grocery store early, and picking up all the good stuff for the holiday week, before the hungry crowds descended. The schools are closed, the kids are home. I did my Black Friday shopping online, and picked up a new flatscreen to replace the one that burned out. It cost 1/4 of what my old one did 10 years ago. And the Longhorns beat West Virginia. All good. Happy holiday.

I can tell after sleeping all night it’s a little too soft for me but not sure yet. It’s a dilemma, as I’m sleeping alone in it, but I hope that’s not always going to be the case. I went with medium firmness with that in mind. I can just picture getting the firm one, and a girl complaining it’s hard as a rock.

It takes 2 - 3 weeks to get used to a new mattress. We bought a mattress from a store that offers a 60 day exchange policy. We did the exchange after a week because it was just not working for the Mrs. She wasn't 100% happy with the replacement mattress but because you only get one exchange, we had to keep it. After about 3 weeks, she was sleeping through the night with no issues.
As for me, I can sleep anyplace. One of my favourite places has been on top of a cargo container in the back of a C-130.

Yesterday.... Up at 5:30am to stuff the bird. Put it in the roaster and set a timer for it to start at 8:00am (to cook until 1:00pm). Then we got in the car at 6:30am to go to the parade and get a good seat. It was cold, but fun. My niece loved it. So did my bf's daughters. It was really nice. We were back home at 11:30am. My bf's daughters and I turned on the stereo and we were singing and dancing as we made the potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole (yum). BF and my dad went to get my brother in law and brought him home.
We had such a wonderful time and we were all wiped out by 9:30pm and in bed.
We were up at 5:00am to do some Black Friday shopping. NEVER AGAIN (though I know I will again next year). It was fun with bf's daughters, but ugh. The mall was packed. It wasn't worth it to me. I came home about 6:20am and let the girls stay at the mall for a few hours before their dad went to get them.
Leftovers for lunch and we all took a nap. Then went out shopping again. hahaha, I was dreading it, but we all had fun doing it together and I have all my shopping done now. :)
Oh yeah, after dinner yesterday, turned on the TV to see the Lions lose, then we played games with the kids as the Dallas game was on in the other room and saw Mervs Cowboys get slaughtered. ;)

Yes, the Cowboys looked like turkeys.
I had a ten year old 50” plasma tv that probably had 30,000 hours on it, and it gave up the ghost. I priced a new energy panel for it, and concluded I could get a new TV cheaper. I did Black Friday sales and got a Samsung 55” LED 4K smart TV for $470. That’s about 1/4 of what I paid for my old one. The picture snaps. The speakers are better, it has Wi-fi and Bluetooth, and can interface with my smartphone.
On question left, how do you get rid of a 50” dinosaur?

Get a surround sound system or at least a sound bar. TV speakers are awful for a home theatre.

I know Rope is into the whole healthy eating thing, but the holidays wreck havoc on normal dietary habits, timing, and quantities. I bet I gained 5 pounds last week, and not in a good way. I have so many leftovers in the fridge, I’m running out of ideas. LOL.

We had a LOT of leftovers also. I froze most of it, but left some in the fridge in tupperwares. Sunday evening, after I stepped on the scale and noticed a gain, I immediately took all the leftovers from the fridge and started tossing them in the garbage. BF was upset when he came in the house to find I discarded it all. Over the previous 3 days, he liked to grab a fork and eat tiny bits throughout the whole day.......like visit the fridge 20 times, open a lid, eat a piece or two of cold turkey. He would also eat the stuffing and greenbean casserole sides cold. *GAG* so GROSS. He tacked on 8.

I'm officially done shopping after today. No more malls, no more stores. My final stop was a return at Marshalls Home Goods. The line was ridiculous. 25 minutes to return a sweater that wasn't the right size. Then I discovered I didn't have the receipt. Store credit, but that's okay, it's one of my favorites to go into. Always new stuff on the shelves.

Just took my first batch of sugar cookies out of the oven; they're cooling off so I can frost 'em. Snowmen, of course! <Frosty the Snowman, anyone?>
This is the first batch of homemade Christmas sugar cookies I've had since my mom got cancer, so I'm both happy and teary.
Paleo, so based off of this recipe: https://againstallgrain.com/2013/02/07/grain-free-sugar-cookies-paleo-and-scd/
While making the dough, I tasted (OF COURSE!) It needed a little something extra, so I added a half teaspoon of almond extract. Perfect!
Next batch I'll add the green spinach-extract dye and make a dozen Christmas trees. I already made up some red maple sugar using beet-extract dye. I tasted the dyes, and there's little or no trace of their origin; the combination of vanilla and almond extracts in the cookies will completely mask what little remains.
The frosting still needs *something*, but I'm not sure what. It's got a noticeable taste of the cacao butter used as the primary ingredient. Maybe a hit of maple syrup to replace some of the honey next time... I think that'd complement the cacao butter well.
edit: here's the best source of info I'd found on DIY organic food coloring (no petroleum): https://nourishingjoy.com/homemade-natural-food-dyes/
Damn. When I started looking how to make food dye a few days ago, I got a WHOLE new level of disgust for commercialized foods. How the hell could I have eaten that crap before?? Well, rightfully, for the last 30+ years, if I saw artificial ANYTHING in the ingredients, it went back on the shelf and I didn't buy it. Most of the foods that had added "natural flavors" also went back on the shelf, as that phrase could mean anything. I've been a hard-core label reader for over half my life, only eating foods that had ingredients that my grandmother would have recognized. Grandma wasn't an inorganic chemist. Hell, she wasn't an organic chemist, either!
Sprouts had teensy-tiny little one-use packets of organic food dye for some outrageous price, so I did it at home based on the instructions above and made enough for the next freaking YEAR. I already had the beets and spinach in the fridge.
(https://i.imgur.com/ekSyprB.jpg)
Yep, I already ate a couple of 'em. Cook's perogative! ;D
Oops... I misspoke. I did gingerbread men cut-outs 'cos the cookie cutter looked like it'd be easier for my FIRST try at making cookies in 40+ years. I don't have hardly ANY of the tools that mom had. No pastry bag, no small offset spatulas for frosting (I used the back of a spoon), etc. I had to use a sheet of parchment paper for a pastry mat 'cos I don't have the soft old canvas mat that mom had (my sister got most of that stuff). Improvise, adapt, and move on. I'll buy a couple of quarter-inch dowels to make it easier to get the dough to the right thickness with the rolling pin, as some were thick, and some a little thin. That's hard to eyeball between 2 sheets of parchment paper.

My cookies were a hit at work... so much that I had to promise to make MORE this weekend. ;D I have a double-batch planned for Sunday 'cos I'm working Saturday.
Who knew that the average Joe was into healthy food that's not overly sweet? I only used about a third of the frosting from the recipe I posted earlier, so I have plenty left over. I need to warm it up and add some almond extract that I have so it'll override some of the taste of the raw cacao butter, but that's pretty easy.

A few of us at work had gathered in the break room and were complaining about the snow fall we got yesterday. Telling our stories of the bad drive home and in to work this morning, or the snow blower not starting, and so on. Our sweet mid-60 year old female receptionist came in during the conversation and said, "Julie honey, I hear you got more snow up where you live, how much did you get?"
I answered, "Close to 9 inches."
She looks shocked and says. "9 inches? Oh you poor girl. 6 inches is too much for me. I can't even imagine what 9 inches would be like. Oh my goodness."
The 3 guys and the one other woman in the break room all look at each other and get smirks on their faces.
With her back to everyone as she's pouring her coffee she says, "Well come to think of it, 9 inches might be kind of nice. I definitely wouldn't make it into work after that though."
Everybody walks out of the room except for me so as not to start laughing in front of her. I keep my composure as I grab the coffee to top off my cup.
She looked at me and says, "They're like a bunch of teenagers. I get such a kick out of them thinking I don't know what I'm saying."
I have a pervy receptionist.

Cookies, batch 2. The spinach-extract food coloring didn't survive baking at 350F for 8 minutes... they were Christmas-tree green when they went into the oven. They're still pale green, although you can't see it in the photo. They cracked this time, didn't happen last time. Identical recipe and processing... go figure.
I added 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the frosting this time, since the almond flavor also didn't survive baking last pass around. I also added a few drops of the spinach extract to the frosting, too. They WILL be green!

I'm leaving for Florida this afternoon. Goodbye freezing temperatures, snow, and overcast skies. Hello salty sea water, sand, and sunny skies.
I'll be back in Michigan on the 30th.
I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy this special time of year with those you love, and please be safe.
Here's the music playing in another window on my computer right now. I love Michael Buble. Oh, that voice. I know if we ever met in real life we'd fall in love, get married, and have two kids. A girl named Kate, a boy we'd name Michael. And we'd live happily ever after.

Well...nearly froze my "jingle bells" off, but I spent over an hour at the edge of the airport waiting to see one of the last of Delta's 747s. They're being retired and Delta is making a farewell tour to several cities. We were promised a flyover first and the plane came right overhead of where I was standing. So huge! (https://i.imgur.com/NwvZVwE.jpg)
Next, we waited for it's approach to the runway. I'm there Monday thru Friday at the dog park, so I knew where to go for the best angles. It seemed to be coming in so slow. Don't know if that's because it's so much bigger that the planes I'm used to seeing or if it has a slower stall speed. Got several shots as the plane came closer to the runway, then the frame of my camera was filled with just the forward section of the plane. With my big lens it felt I could touch it. (https://i.imgur.com/v54TUuG.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/61a00Mn.jpg)
As I spun to follow the plane's progress, I watched for the touchdown and the blue smoke from the tires hitting the tarmac. The plane kept flying over the runway, just a few feet above the runway...and it kept going. We all realized it was going to rise again and come around once more.
Waiting for the plane to return the cold really started to sink in. Fingers were getting numb and I said if it doesn't get here soon, I won't be able to work the shutter. The lady next to me said, "Try being out here in a skirt". Damn, there she was in a short skirt with tights. Guess she really wanted to see the plane. It came back again and I got a second chance at shooting the approach. Wonder how much fuel Delta had to buy for that! Again I tracked it to the runway and got the touchdown! The finale landing of a 747 at MSP. (https://i.imgur.com/bSg3RpS.jpg)
The 747 will visit a few more cities on the tour, then off the the Arizona desert to sit in the sand. Seems like such a sad ending for a noble plane. Seeing a 747 one more time and getting the pictures did make my day!

Taking my oldest to the airport to go visit grandparents for the holidays. He won’t be flying on a 747, only a considerably smaller 737.
My child’s mother left us when he was only 5 months old. Seems her drug addiction was more precious than her blue eyed dimpled son.
But I want to say this about her parents. They have always stayed involved, have always stayed in communication, and have refrained from criticisms. When I remarried and had another child, they have treated him like another grandchild, and have included both children in family activities. They are a model of how people should be in this era blended families. I wish I could bottle them and market it for Christmas.

Oh damn, guess what I forgot?
After decades of listening to 'Christmas Wrapping (http://youtu.be/nud2TQNahaU)' by The Waitresses, I finally recreated part of it. I was at the Farmer's Market yesterday stocking up, and forgot cranberries. :facepalm: So on with the boots, back out in the snow... Oh wait, no snow. ;D
However, I didn't see a cute girl at Sprouts *also* buying cranberries when I went back today. Maybe it's because I didn't buy The World's Smallest Turkey from A&P. Kinda hard as they went bankrupt 2 years ago. The turkey would be pretty dry by now.

My youngest is a very thoughtful, polite young man. He overheard me say, “I wish we had more of these hand-painted ceramic mugs we bought in Paris.” Well I’ll be damned if the little guy didn’t find one on an eBay auction, monitored it, and bidnapped it at 3 in the morning for a price he could afford. It wasn’t the gift that delighted me, it was the time energy and thought that he put into it.
After my brush with death this year, I seemed to experience the holidays with greater acuity this year. The sights, sounds, smells, and LOVE of the season kept me warm, and a little verklempt as well.

I can’t compete with Jules’s earth shattering announcement, but we did go see the Nutcracker last night and had a pleasant evening on the River Walk. Then we strolled past the Alamo and Travis Park, both of which were lit up for the holidays. Very pleasant evening. I love my wife.
While sprouting a boner during the coffee dance, it occurred to me that ballet was the Internet porn of the 19th Century. Where else could you see a bunch of athletic women and men in tights, flashing the audience with every Grande Jeté? Given the bulges on display, I’m sure many women were taken with “hysteria.”

Well, our plane landed in Detroit at about 11:20 last night to a temperature of 6 degrees. -5 wind chill. The girls and I all froze in the short distance from the doors to the shuttle that would take us to our offsite parking. When we got to the car there was 8 inches of snow on the window and hood. We asked the shuttle driver if we could stay on the bus until the car warmed up while Mark cleared the snow. She said yes. Luckily it was a slow night and we were the only ones on. The car was still freezing inside 5 minutes later but it was tolerable. The cutest thing was the girls cuddling in the back seat together. We finally got home after 12:00.
What made my day.........my own pillow, my own sheets, my own bed.

A wonderful New Year's Eve alone at home with Mark, our first night alone since December 19th. The kid's were all at their overnight destinations by 7:00pm. Our night started with him opening his final Christmas gift from me. A pair of silk boxers and a super soft micro fleece robe. While he put that on, I got comfortable in something I thought he might enjoy seeing me in. The evening was filled with a few games of backgammon, watching his favorite movie Forrest Gump, wine (for him), some Booker's for me, cheese & crackers, watching the ball drop with Ryan, and some very nice alone time with him. Getting texts from each of his daughters at midnight wishing us a Happy New Year. I text my niece at 10:00. The home she was staying at had a 10:00 ball drop for the house full of younger kids. She was asleep by 10:30.

Flagrant consumerism. ;D
We got a bonus at work, so I'm using about a third of it for birthday presents to myself. I've been hunting up and down the Internet the last 2 weeks trying to find recommendations and cheapest prices for rebuilding my electronics shop. Most of my old stuff is still in storage in Phoenix, and it'll cost $3500 to bring it here to Texas, so it's cheaper to buy new. Also, most of it is though-hole, and I'm kinda partial to SMD nowadays. Hell, I've even been looking at my old B&D toaster oven and seriously considering converting it into a DIY reflow oven if the unmodified unit comes even vaguely close to the solder reflow curves. Yeah, *not* a lot of toast on this modified Paleo diet! :D
The first packages have already started to arrive from China: bits and pieces to bring my microcontroller lab into the 2010s. My old stuff in Phoenix dates back decades. My H-P mixed-signal scope is still useable, but even the 48-channel logic analyzer is ancient, and bigger than an Osborne computer (http://oldcomputers.net/pics/osborne1.jpg)). I can do better. Amazingly, my 38-year-old Fluke meter is still running, although it's been relegated to the back shelf years ago when I bought a much more capable DMM.
Yeah, yeah, I know less than 2% of the people here understand ANY of that, but hey, it's MY day! :emot_kiss: I'm a tech geek, whattaya expect?

I bought a new wireless router. I have 8 to 10 users on the home network now... cellphones, iPads, laptops, game consoles... even the fucking Amazon firestick, all logged in and sucking my limited bandwidth.
So this is a new D-Link DIR-882, with a QoS app. Able to set Dad up as priority, and put all the kids gaming to the back of the line. Should probably upgrade to fiber optic, but the neighbors said they couldn’t tell much difference, and it costs twice as much. Much improvement. Strong signal in the bedroom upstairs.

When Mrs JBRG is home, we have 9 devices on our network but not all of them are consuming any great amounts of bandwidth. We have a Netgear R6300 which I purchased 3-4 years ago AND a range extender which was purchased before hand. This router is an AC1300 device (1/2 the throughput of yours). My internet feed into the house is 150Mbps. Our router's throughput is 87% higher than the input speed. Fibre in and of itself is not a great panacea unless the bandwidth with the service is substantial. You are, cost wise, probably better off with what you have.

About 8 years ago I felt my first earthquake in Detroit.
About 30 minutes ago I was looking out the back window and the sky lit up and there was a huge boom. Mark's daughters are saying twitter is blowing up that it was a meteor. So, I think I saw a meteor, worried about what the big boom was though. Sonic boom?

Some meteors disintegrate before striking the earth. If that happens at the right altitude you hear an explosion. This is a simplified explanation.
Other meteors burn up before striking the earth. The ones that do hit earth make a boom and a hole somewhere. Usually a hole in water.

I grew up near a SAC base at the height of the Cold War, and sonic booms were a frequent occurrence. I didn’t hear one for years, until February 1, 2003, when the space shuttle Columbia broke up on re-entry over Texas. I immediately knew something was out of order, and turned on the TV to learn what happened.

I was just glad I saw the sky light up. I was looking north so I didn't get to see the streak of light or the explosion. It was shortly afterwards that I heard the boom and felt the rumble. At first, I thought the rumble was ice and snow sliding off the roof.
The news station this morning said the boom registered a 2.0 on the Richter scale. They also reported that if anything made it to ground it was expected to be in Mt. Clemens, Michigan which is 14 miles due east from where I am.
Thank you Katie and Merv for the info. :-* :-*

One evening about 10-15 years ago I saw what I immediately knew was a huge bright meteor that seemed to slowly descend a few miles away. I live in Maryland, and the next day I did read of a meteor hitting some place in Upstate New York 300+ miles away. It looked so close.

Mark and I had a very nice evening. We went to the theatre downtown and enjoyed the national tour of The Bodyguard Musical. It was so good. Deborah Cox was AMAZING. Mark, who has been to one broadway play in his life prior to us dating, loves going now. We've been to three shows in the last 3 months and he's already looking forward to Finding Neverland in February and Les Mis in March. I'm so glad he's truly enjoying something I love so much.

Mark actually had tickets to the black tie event last night but we went to the theatre instead. He's kind of required to go, so he went today. He'll be there a couple more times this week.
My favorite car I saw today that I want as a wedding present (if you all want to chip in on something together)
The Ford Mustang Bullitt (https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Pcl0dLVo--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/xlwx6xfjhiq994crnhyr.png)

The Bullitt Mustang. It rolled off a California assembly line in January 1968 wearing a fresh coat of Highland green paint. Warner Bros. took delivery. It is the car Steve McQueen (and his stunt man) drove in one of the best chase scenes of all time.

A fun day skiing yesterday. It was beautiful out. Didn't get home until after midnight.
We are relaxing today. NOTHING on our schedule. Think I might spend the day in my pj's Games with the kids, a fire, a movie or two, a midday nap. I don't feel like cooking either. I'm craving Chinese carryout.

We've had a lazy day as well - we only got dressed because the eldest son's girlfriend came round for a cup of tea.
No cooking for us either - pizza shops deliver.

Took Gus Basset to the dog park again. Our pack of four dogs, three people hooked up and walked the icy trails (metal cleats required).
A small black dog about as high as Gus, just not as long came up and they greeted each other. The black dog got over excited and hopped on Gus to hump a little and Gus wasn't standing for it (no pun intended, well maybe). Still the other dog persisted, so Colt went over. He's a big Rot/Lab mix. He stood over the little dog and it quickly backed off.
We continued our circuit and ended up at the gate along with several other dogs. All the dogs were milling around having fun, when the same little black dog got there and headed straight for Gus and started in being too friendly again. This time Tunco, a large shepherd type dog went over and chased the little dog away just by standing over it. Gus has good friends in his pack.
Congrats Merv on your puppy. Should be lots of fun.

Won money on super bowl squares. :)
Roads were bad and I had a white knuckle drive home from the party, Mark was a little too tipsy to drive. I met a bunch of his friends that I haven't met before. He's out with the snow blower right now. Not sure if I'm going to bed or staying up for This Is Us. Drive to work is going to be bad and think I should get to bed.

THE OLYMPICS
Ice skating has started. It's live on NBC. That's what I've been watching for the last two hours. Mens in the team comp. Nathan Chen our superstar did poorly. All the men are having trouble though.
I freaking love the Olympics.

A wonderful weekend with no plans. Well, other than clearing snow. Mark got mad at me Saturday because I wanted to help some older neighbors clear their snow. He wanted to go watch the Olympics. I argued we needed exercise and we ended up doing 5 of our neighbors driveways and sidewalks. hahaha, he was so grumpy. ;D 15 degrees out but with all the warm clothes and the effort I was putting into it I was sweaty as could be. The hot shower afterward felt great!
By Sunday afternoon I was stir crazy and needed out of the house. We got last minute tickets to see the Broadway show 'Finding Neverland' playing in Detroit right now. I had never seen it before and absolutely loved it. Before the show we stopped by the ticket window and got tickets for Les Misérables. Mark has never been to it, which I'm finding out he hasn't been to hardly any Broadway shows, so I'm excited to experience them with him his first time. He really enjoys them.

Valentines Day Both of us calling in sick to work (not really sick) and spending the morning alone.
What didn't make my day.... Then getting a call that there is a payroll issue at work and having to come into work at 11:30. Dealing with it and leaving.
Mark is still at home waiting for my return. I'll be absent from KB today.

I almost forgot. I had girl scout cookies delivered Friday. I've now stocked the downstairs freezer for the next year. 30 boxes.
One cookie every other day. And once a month when people are over, I'll put out a box. It is usually a big hit on a hot sunny day by the pool, after they've been long gone from pretty much every other household for the previous 5 months. My college aged niece will suggest I get some out pretty much every time she visits.
Tag Alongs are the best. Savannah Smiles are good too, but those are in the morning with coffee. :)
I won't have any until the cold or sore throat or whatever I have passes.

Just before falling asleep I was having a flirty conversation on YIM. I was a bit apologetic about falling asleep, but she said it was OK.
This morning when I woke, she had sent a waist up pic late last night after I fell asleep. She was only wearing a t shirt and the hem of it was in her teeth. I’ve been looking at it all morning.
I wish now I hadn’t been so sleepy/drunk last night, still it’s making my morning nice. That girl has her own flotation devices.

We are reducing the amount of stuff we have in preparation for a possible move. Still have to replace the downstairs flooring and paint before we can list our condo but things are moving along nicely.

Hearing from Jules that she is out of the woods and feeling better.
Waking up this morning and feeling the best I've felt in 8 days. I woke up this morning with energy. Mark has already warned me to take it easy and not over do it. So I'll shower and get back in my pj's this morning and enjoy the day with him, my niece, and his daughters. The oldest who came home from college to help her dad care for me. I'm going to miss her, but her spring break is in a couple of weeks. Waiting for them all to get home from church and then I'll be cherishing the rest of the day with her.
Have a nice day everybody.

I'm on my second snow day in a row, after about 12 years without one!
Woke up to about six inches of snow yesterday morning, got a text from the boss just as I opened the door to set off; shut for the day.
Walk out on the common, tramping around in virgin snow that sometimes came up to my knees. No sign of a thaw, got a text last night that we were closing for a second day. The weather is borderline for a totally unprecedented third day of closure.

She spent most of the day yesterday at her mom's house, but spent today with Mark, my niece and I. A little chilly but we still had a lot of fun together with a nice lunch and a wonderful dinner. Poor kid, her friends all went to Florida but she decided to save the money to save for a car. :(
The really good news is she will be living here after college lets out in May. We're fixing up a room in the basement. So happy and I can't wait.

hahaha, true. There was a spare room upstairs, but it was across the hall from mine. She wasn't too keen on being that close to her dad.

Our city is holding a Maple Syrup festival this weekend. It was actually a Xmas gift to my niece (which she opened, read the note I wrote up explaining it, and tossed it to the side to open the next 'real' gift :emot_laughing:)
So, we rented a tree in our city nature center. We visited the tree once last week. A guide took us to it. So far our tree has produced 12 gallons of sap. Well thank god I wasn't the one responsible to change out the bucket, the stuff would have flowed all over the ground. hahaha My niece got really excited and was interested for all of 10 minutes before she decided the woods needed exploring.
So tomorrow is the main day. They teach us about the process of converting sap to syrup. The guided told me we might yield just under a 1/2 gallon from our 15 gallons the tree should end up producing. Their are a bunch of hands on stuff for the kids.
Then, we're dropping my niece off to Grandma and Grandpa's house and Mark and I are going out to celebrate St Patricks day. Uber will be my friend tomorrow. I have a sequin Kelly Green vest and a vary glittery green hat that I will be wearing, along with my flashing button that reads 'Kiss Me I'm Irish' (which I actually am), if the hat gets too uncomfortable, I have a headband with antenna's with four leaf clovers at the top. Oh, and my glasses that the lenses are shaped like beer mugs. My mostly Italian boyfriend will be wearing a hideous green sport jacket with a T-shirt underneath that reads 'Today Everybody is Irish'.
The couple we're going with, she, who is very well endowed, texted me a pictures of the shirt she is wearing. It reads, 'I put the Double D's in St. Paddy's day.' hahaha She's proud of them. Hey, she should be, they cost enough. And I was told that her husband will be wearing a Sparty Green Man suit. He's a huge MSU Spartan fan and there is this guy that they call Green man at all events with a body suit, like this..... (http://media.mlive.com/kzgazette/features_impact/photo/spartan-green-manjpg-c9ffb73365a265e3_large.jpg)

When I was younger my ‘going out’ was to go to a section of Baltimore called Fell’s Point. I would often forget it was St Patrick’s Day and show up in the evening just to run into a huge number of characters that a) have been drinking since the morning and don’t handle their alcohol well and b) feel that obnoxious behavior is somehow obligatory.
And then follow that up with St. Patrick’s Day 1990 when I ran into a girlfriend who I thought was still on a trip to New Zealand and Australia out with another guy. I didn’t handle it well and several shots later I made the acquaintance of a few Baltimore City Policemen who insisted I be their guest for the night.
The only reason I’m even leaving the house tomorrow is my German Shepherd needs dog food.

I’m planning on calling, starting at 4 AM and continuing at 15 Minute intervals until 10 AM.
In the old days I wouldn't be home by 4am. Now though, Mark can't hang like I can. Knowing him, we might be home by 11pm :roll: HE'S ONLY 43, what's wrong with him.

Awake in the night and 5AM is approaching. I decided a shot of whiskey is in order to help get back to sleep. My two choices on my ‘bar’ of sorts were Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey and Noteworthy reserve bourbon. Just to be contrary, obstinate and a bit of a stick in the mud about what today is, I chose the bourbon. I also have a bunch of green clothes as it’s my favorite color, but I’ll be damned if I’m wearing that color today. . . . Ba humbug! LOL
Nobody tell my friend Irishgirl of my choices today, as they would certainly even further reduce my already bleak chances of bedding her.

I’ll write a short one if you like. Hearing things like what you’ve posted and what a girl told me this morning makes me angry and want to do something.

So a book I ordered a week ago arrived today. It's a "coffee table" type of book with fantastic photos of Sandhill Cranes by a well known photographer. I have a few thousand of my own pics, but still enjoy other photographers views.
I saw the book a couple years ago at the wildlife refuge where I "shoot" most my crane pictures. It's $45, more of my SSI money than I'd like to spend. Finally took the time to go on Amazon and check used versions. Found one for $13, plus shipping and got it in my hot little hands today. It's in like new condition at a fraction of the price.
The bonus...it's signed by the author/photographer! :o
Just one catch, I now have to change my name to "Mary Lou", as that's who it's signed to. :facepalm:
Mary Lou, I can just see the wife putting me in a school girl plaid skirt now. :facepalm:

Guess all I'll ever know about Mary Lou is that she bought the book in Nebraska at a wildlife refuge and the author/photog. was there. Receipt was in the book. :D

Mmmmmm, I’m not known for seeking out such pics. I suppose I could offer up my own? Naw, always thought it rather classless to post or send such things unless specifically requested.

Went on Spirit airlines website on Saturday and found very cheap airfare to Florida. So, I made a quick phone call to the place we stayed at Christmas and was happy to find it was available. Booked airfare, booked the house. Leaving tomorrow night for 8 days. My nieces spring break from school starts Thursday. Just taking her out of school a couple of days early.
After that was booked we figured we'd celebrate Easter with my mom and dad, and Mark's mom yesterday. I love HoneyBaked Hams. Yum.
Also, spur of the moment, we dyed Easter eggs Saturday afternoon. I made one for you all. :) Darn crayon wasn't waxy enough and could barely see it.

Visit with my brother-in-law yesterday. He seemed so out of it on Saturday when I first saw him, and again on Sunday. Yesterday he seemed much better. Then one of the care attendants came in to talk to me.
She said he was doing magic tricks with playing cards earlier in the day for the residents and visitors. Something he hasn't done in at least 5 years that I know of. The attendant said she herself was very much entertained with about 20 tricks. She said the Fedex man who was delivering a package had stopped to watch and commented he couldn't figure out how the tricks were being done, and he was an amateur magician . She also told me the onsite physician had come out and observed him and was amazed that he could do what he was doing with his current condition.
Kind of really good news that made me very happy, especially after my weekend visits.

Always was, but hard to be enthusiastic working out of a crappy office, with untrained and unqualified staff, and equipment so shitty, you have to bring your own computer and scanner from home. Not to mention an employer who treats paychecks like a personal favor, and payday as an optional event. “Listen dude, these people have *lent* you two weeks of their lives. Paychecks aren’t a favor, they are an obligation.”

Corresponding with a friend I haven't chatted with in a while. She's one of those rare gems that you just wish there was a way she could be part of your everyday life.
Also, my future step daughter has moved in with us. She moved the rest of her clothes yesterday. I'm just giddy happy to have her home from university and spending the summer with us, which means her little sister who stays with mom will likely be visiting more often now. I'm going to need to start setting a bed time for myself, like I do for my niece, this sitting up talking until midnight is going to catch up to me. Mark and I are taking her and her friend Axe throwing on Saturday. Yes, Axe throwing. Drinking and throwing an axe (https://www.thehubstadium.com/play/), what could go wrong?
Lastly, a GREAT 6 mile run yesterday, with my favorite running partner, the after shower with him was nice too. It was 80 in Detroit Woo to Mother Nature. No more elliptical or tread mill until November, hopefully. And a new pair of running shoes being delivered by Amazon before days end.

Today's "make my day", is coming home from a three day, two night trip. Went to the western edge of Minnesota, spitting distance to So. Dakota. Lot's of wildlife refuges in the area. A couple others from our camera club went also. Lot to birds to see and "shoot" (camera only)
Had a lot of fun, got some great pictures but coming home is nice. The cats agree. They'll be all over us again for a few days, trying to convince us not to go away again. ;D
Saw tons of American Pelicans, many variety of ducks (who like to stay out of camera range). My favorite that's rare around here is the Yellow-headed Blackbird. So pretty. They were everywhere over there. Like Red-winged Blackbirds, they're found in areas dense with cattails.

I ran across a post of my father’s today. He posted on quora in response to a question of someone about why he should enlist for the Infantry.
My father is more eleqouent than I imagined. I knew I gained my love of literature from him. I guess he is why I love writing so much.
Here is what he wrote.
“The infantry IS the Army.
Infantry do the job, everyone else is there to hand us the tools.
All the other branches have a secondary mission to fight as infantry when required. The infantry has only one job, to fight as infantry.
Only infantry can take and hold ground, root out the enemy, secure any area. The man on foot, dirty and grimy, his rifle the only thing clean and and well kept.
The infantry was there before any other branch. When the artillery runs out of shells, the tankers run out of gas, the cooks run out of groceries, the clerks run out of ink, they all pick up a rifle and become infantry.
We ARE the Army.”
Sometimes I am astounded by my family.

Very nice Katie. Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of the first verse of "I Am The Infantry" that was on the wall of our S-3 office. No conflict can ever be settled without "boots on the ground".
I am the Infantry!
I am the Infantry–Queen of Battle! For two centuries I have kept our Nation safe, Purchasing freedom with my blood. To tyrants, I am the day of reckoning; to the suppressed, the hope for the future. Where the fighting is thick, there am I…
I am the Infantry! FOLLOW ME!

A Mother's Day card from my niece. She lost it sometime between Saturday when she made it, and getting out of bed on Sunday morning. Mark just found it in a box of Lucky Charms for some reason. Can't wait to hear the explanation from her on why it was hidden there. Anyways, Mark text me a picture of it.

I've been getting constant calls about my car insurance. My car insurance is perfectly fine. The gist is that I could save a ton of money by doing blah blah. Finally I get a live "heavily accented" person to tell me about this great deal. I spent half an hour playing with this god damn moron because it was so obviously a scam.
I told him my name was Leia Skywalker... he didn't fuckin' get it.
I told him I lived out in the woods in a cabin in Burkittsville Maryland. Didn't get it and I made up a zip code.
Then I told him my car was a limited edition Bugatti Veyron, a car worth about $3.4 million. Oooooh did he get excited because I could hear him actually googling that. Didn't google the bullshit I gave him, wanted to see what my car was worth. :emot_laughing:
Long story short he said I could get the ball rollin' on a much lower car insurance rate for a small fee. At this point I told the moron none of what I said was real and anyone would have known that the second I said my name was a star wars character. I got yelled and cussed at in a foreign language while I laughed like a maniac. :D

A year ago today, I had a massive MI that resulted in hospitalization and a quad CABG. (If these acronyms mean nothing to you, you are lucky). I did not expect to be here today, but I’ve made an incredible recovery. Enjoy the gift.

I spent half an hour playing with this god damn moron because it was so obviously a scam.
Brings back happy memories of my sister and I laughing hysterically at my brother-in-law, watching him wasting the time of phone solicitors. He'd see how long he could keep them on the line. One of my favorites, and his most often used, is when he would pretend to be a half deaf 90 year old man with emphysema. A lot of screaming "Can you speak up" and a number of coughing fits. Then the time he fell from the chair and was laying on the ground speaking into the phone "I've fallen and I can't get up." That particular time, the solicitor dialed 911 and an ambulance show up at their house. He was a kook!

I gave a lecture at the local high school called “the law and you.” We covered criminal, including sexual assault, family and child support, landlord/tenant, credit, and how to deal with the police. Half of them stared at the phones. Half of them laughed at my stand up comedy. Tough crowd. Sincerely doubt anything I said will be remembered.
As I was leaving, two ancient lawyers in their 70’s walked in for the next class. They have no idea. LOL.

Aced my semester exams. Now I have a real shot at a State rank! Not merely college or uni but State! If I maintain my grades and my final paper gets a moderate rating then it's a University rank. Anything above and then .... it's a top 5 in the state.
To be honest I was very apprehensive since until March I had had a crazy tough time. Somehow kept my head down all through April!!!! You is putting it mildly.

Two graduation parties yesterday. Today we went with Mark's daughter and her girlfriend to the Motor City Pride celebration. Three stages of music. We hung with the girls. I wasn't really into their music, hahaha. I wanted to go to see Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, but the friend wasn't feeling good, so we headed home. The girls went to the parade yesterday while we went to grad parties. I'm wiped out. It was a long weekend.

Today I make my 1776th post on KB. Which brings instantly to the mind of an American the year we fought for and won our independence from King George.
Personally, I have enjoyed many blessings from having been born in America, all the more so because my youth and young adulthood happened to coincide with the rise of our great land to the (now precarious) status of world number one superpower. To become rich, that was a dream I never had, never really wanted, and did not get to experience. That I always had, and still now have, more than enough of everything I need and want, and debt-free to boot, that has been my version of the American dream coming true.
In recent decades things have gone sour in many ways. Not that I have been sorely affected in my personal life, but I am not so proud of what we've done in other parts of the world. Yes, crushing Hitler and Yamamoto in Europe and the Pacific, that was a fine thing. I don't know if we could have succeeded as well had we not gone through the cleansing of the Great Depression of the 1930's, which was the trigger for FDR's New Deal, which put our country back on the right track. Rebuilding Europe with the Marshall Plan, rebuilding Japan into a manufacturing superpower, those were things to make an American proud. But after that, bombing the shit out of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, et al, to make the world safe for capitalist enterprise, the oil companies, the weapons industry, the Wall Street banksters, that's the sour part.
Taking all the parts together, I am reminded of William Blake's lines in Auguries of Innocence, written in the early years of the Industrial Revolution:
Joy & Woe are woven fine A Clothing for the soul divine Under every grief & pine Runs a joy with silken twine
I still like to dream about a perfect world, but I'm willing to settle for the one we've got.

Today our neighbor came over, red faced and laughing. She'd just Googled her address and checked the "street view". There I was walking past her home with one of the Basset Hounds I used to take care of. (May they rest in peace). It was a few years ago that the Google car passed us. Took two or three months before the view of me and Ruby to hit the site and it's still up. Neighbor really got a kick out of seeing us in front of her house. She was still laughing when she left. It made my day to see her get such a charge from that.
Anyone else get "caught" by the Google car?

I noticed after the picture of me and the dog had been up a couple years, they'd blurred out my head. Neighbor didn't notice that when she was here yesterday. Sure they got complaints, maybe even lawsuit threats and started hiding identities. However...tho' they blurred my face, they did nothing for Ruby. Leaving her cute little face and floppy ears exposed to all the perverts surfing Google maps. :sign_whatchalookingat:

Several years ago my car was in two places at the same time. Well, not really. The overhead view of my home and place of work were taken at different times. However, in both, my car was parked in the picture.
Now the make my day — recently, I applied for two internal job opportunities with the company I work for. Shortly after applying for the second one, I got a call to come in for an interview. Went last Tuesday and was told that I would be informed one way or the other on Thursday what the result was.
On Wednesday, I got an e-mail saying the time lines on the second opportunity had been moved up and the manager was scrambling to find people to fill that contract. The contract manager was aware of my application and interview for the other job. I informed him that I was interested in his opportunity if the other fell through.
I didn’t get the position I interviewed for which means I’m moving into the other opportunity. I tentatively start the new job (within the same company) on 10 September. After 4 plus years at my current location, I’m excited for the change.

About half an hour ago, I started reading this thread from the very beginning. Within a few pages I had watery eyes and a few pages later I was crying. A found earring, their Friday night high school football games, money raised for her memorial, describing her laugh as the most beautiful sound in the world, which it was. Then this...
......found a DVD of the first drive-in movie M and I ever went to together...Forrest Gump. My evening is planned.
He loved that movie so much, and he thought Karen did also. She hated it, but never told him. She only would watch it because it brought him so much joy and he would always refer to it as 'our movie' because it was their first drive-in together. She only enjoyed that night, because it was with him, not the movie. In our conversations she'd mention, "We watched that stupid movie again." I would tell her, "Just tell him you hate it." She'd laugh, as she did so often, "I can't Jules, it brings him too much happiness watching it with me. It just makes him so happy."
And now I'm bawling like a baby.
And then, after she passed, he called me a couple of times. "I'm going to watch Forrest Gump tonight, want to join me." Of course I couldn't turn him down.
What made my day? Reading this thread and thinking of happy times.

Took me right back to when I lived in Northern Minnesota, driving through the campus of the small university there. Seeing family groups together getting their youngster off on their continuing education path.

Last night, around 8 to 8:30pm there was a cloud of fireflies outside. I pulled a chair outside and just watched 'em for 30 minutes or so. I hadn't seen any all summer. I live next to a swamp, so it's fairly unusual to not see ANY at all for months.
Hey, I'm still a kid inside! We didn't have fireflies in Phoenix (too dry for 'em) so I enjoy 'em out here when I can.

I love them. We have a lot of bats that come in from the woods and it's a little sad when you can see them get gobbled up.

Fire flies or lightning bugs as we call them up here, plus grasshoppers, are rare in my area. Growing up they were common sights in the summer.

CJ got a free Acer Chromebook 11 from a pawn shop. I bought an original Halloween movie poster and the manager said get rid of the Chromebook because keys didn't work and no one wanted to buy it. So they said take it if you want it. So I took it. Guess what? They work fine after I fiddled with the OS. ;D

As I do most times I visit my brother in law at his care facility, I took some baked goods. Chocolate chips cookies and a lemon cake I make with frosted drizzle. The cookies are small, for most men they are bite sized. The women, two bites.
I set them on the the table in the community gathering area. One of the ladies that I just love, came over to me and said, "Julie, did you make us some cookies." I nodded. She said, "And the lemon cake?" I nodded again.
"The lemon cake is good. But the cookies taste like shit."
I couldn't help but laugh. Old people are so honest. They were actually really good anyways.
Off to bowling tonight. So excited.
Mark said he wouldn't drink much. I said, "It's bowling, we drink." Uber there, uber home.
He was an observer last year. He's a participant this year. I can't wait. I'm gonna put a beat down on him. ;D
Have a great Saturday everybody. Wee it's the weekend.

I bowled 591. AND, Mark beat me the first game 170-161. I was so mad. Then I found my groove and bowled 225 and 205. I'm never gonna hear the end of him beating me the first game.

CJ's kids say the weirdest things.
The 6: Mommy, why do pumpkins rot and get all stinky?
Me: Because they just do, baby.
The 6: Are they good for anything except for Halloween?
Me: No.
The 6: Then why don't we just draw Jack O'Lanterns on paper and put a light behind them?
Me: Because then the pumpkins would go extinct because no one would grow them.
The 6: So, we're saving them by cutting them up and letting them rot away for one month out of the year?
Me: Yes, baby.
The 6: Then we should make every month of the year Halloween time so we can save the pumpkins.
Me: Then they'd go extinct because we'd be carving them up every month.
The 6: That doesn't make sense, mommy.
Me: Why?
The 6: Then how come McDonald's is still around because they kill so many cows?
Me: Because it's not real meat, baby.
The 6: Then what is it?
Me: Nobody knows. Go ask Suki, she might be able to explain it. She's a chef, she knows the difference between real and fake meat.
A minute goes by.
The 6: I forgot what we were talking about, mommy.

Spent the weekend camping with the gf and her family. On Sunday we went to the Apple Butter Festival. It just seemed like the appropriate dorky hick thing to do when camping in Appalachia, and it was very nice except it was brutal hot. We ate BBQ, drank beer and of course bought apple butter and other dorky hick things all the while observing hillbillies in their natural habitat (Hey, my use of ‘hillbilly’ isn’t bigotry in this instance. It’s one of those words you can say if you are one).
She has such a nice family, so all those conversations she and I have been having got me in the mood to join her family. So I casually asked if she would like to look at rings on the way home. The only smile I ever recall being wider at that suggestion was the smile she got latter when I selected a two stoner running at about two months of my take home pay. Let’s just say it met with her approval.
We suggested to her family we all get together at a Peruvian restaurant next Sunday, where I will make it formal in front of her family asking for her brother’s permission. Her family does not know.
Oh crap, am I really going to do this again?
And NO! She’s not a stripper. . . . . at least not for the viewing public.

I don't normally wish ill on anyone, but... anyone racing down a residential street with kids living on both sides of the street needs a wake-up call. When they do it on Saturday afternoon, there ARE kids out on the street.
One of the local crack-heads lost control of his car at high speed just after the rain earlier. He was going nearly twice the posted 30MPH limit on this residential street. He jumped the curb and went head-on into a heavy-duty power pole. The pole wasn't obviously injured. The crack-head limped away from the scene before the fire department and cops got there and towed the hulk away. One presumes he'll report a stolen car this evening...
And no, I'm not being a bigot. He lives a few blocks down the road in the middle of crack alley. That's where all the gunshots originate from down here, at least once or twice a week.

Oh, I don't like the speeders, RF. What you have is ridiculous. I get upset at the 10 mph over the limit drivers. 30 over, YIKES.
We have an elderly gentleman that lives down the street. We have to pass him to get out of our subdivision. He's out there most days waving his hands telling people to slow down. He does it to me too. Every time I look at my speedometer I'm 25 or less .... in a 25. He gets so angry, hahaha.
It's a beautiful day, maybe a trip to the cider mill for the best donuts and cider before a few friends converge on our house for NFL games at 1:00. 45 degrees, so chilly. I think I need to make some chili.

So a thing I was dreading happened today. This whole getting engaged thing with a Latina is going to involve a priest, which we met with today. I was certain this was going to be a very awkward conversation.
On the way there the gf tells me she canceled the first meeting the previous week telling him I had to work out of town. So if he asks, I’m to say that. I look at my Catholic fiancé and ask, ‘So you want my conversation with the priest who’s going to marry us to begin with me lying to him?’ She says yes and that she prayed for forgiveness already for that. How’s that ‘lying to a priest and telling your fiancé to do the same’ prayer go?
So we’re sitting there and he asks how we met, and she says she was out with friends in a restaurant drinking and eating and we met, talked and eventually exchanged numbers. That’s a total lie, we met on a dating site. Well, we did meet in person for the first time in a restaurant, but she had no friends with her.
So then we had to talk to the priest alone she going first. When it was my turn it went far better than I expected. In fact I gave him truthful answers to all of his questions. The subject of the canceled meeting never came up.
So why did it make my day? The meeting went far easier than I thought it would, and while I told the complete truth, my Catholic gf lied her ass off to a priest, something I’ll get to remind her of for the rest of our lives.

I was thinking of the bullseye. Focus not fantasy there.
I usually sight in at 2-3 inches high at 100 yards. With that, the round will generally be on the bullseye around 150-175 yards and hitting just below the bullseye at 200 yards. So, you can aim directly at a target (like a deer) without much thought to distance until you get beyond 200 yards where you have to begin aiming high.
Once sighting in my 300WSM adjusting the scope as needed I hit my mark of ~2.5 inches directly above the bullseye. I decided to make that the 1st of a group of three and fired again. Walking 100 yards down to see I could not find a new hole in the paper target. I couldn’t believe I missed the whole 2 foot square target. Perplexed I fired the 3rd round of three, and again couldn’t see a new hole via my spotting scope. Frustrated I walked again a 100 yards to look closely. That first hole now had a little quarter moon cut in it enlarging the 1st hole. I could only conclude my 2nd round went through the 1st hole so that it was undetected. That group of 3 shots could have easily been covered by a dime.
Since then I’ve never been able to duplicate such precision with that or any other rifle. Note I said precision and not accuracy which is often used incorrectly. Accuracy is hitting what you aim at. Precision is tight groups.
Btw, the 300WSM easily brings down anything short of a grizzly. For a grizzly, I would use my 375 Ruger.

I was thinking of the bullseye. Focus not fantasy there.
I usually sight in at 2-3 inches high at 100 yards. With that, the round will generally be on the bullseye around 150-175 yards and hitting just below the bullseye at 200 yards. So, you can aim directly at a target (like a deer) without much thought to distance until you get beyond 200 yards where you have to begin aiming high.
with the PU the stand off between the barrel and the scope is almost 4 inchesz I zero at 25 yards and my reticle is at least 2.5 or 3 inches above POI of the round. At 100 yards trajectory intersects with the POA. At 500 yards The trajectory once again intersects with the POA. I don’t get a lot of time on a range with that kind of distance.
I don’t need, and mostly don’t like game meat, so I don’t hunt.

Everyone tells me that until they try something of mine like my venison stroganoff.
I don’t know why so few people know how to properly treat meat. They talk about from farm to table, well there’s from forest to table too.

I said “mostly”. I have had wonderful summer sausage made from venison. But generally, I do not want to have to carry out 90 pound or more of deer, field dress, and treat the carcass, then butcher it. I have no place to do so, and certainly I don’t have the storage space for the meat afterwards.
I have hunted, and the best part of that was traipsing up and down the hills with my dad, tracking. We found nothing, which I was just fine. Like I said, I don’t need the meat, I have grocery stores.
IT is better that I leave the hunting to those who might have a proper use for the protein, and stick to punching holes in paper.
I have once had a live animal in my sights, I declined the shot because it came to me in a flash all of the above. My father, smiled at me, and called it one of my stlellar decisions in life. For a man who has lived with killing, he is a gentle soul and very much happy to live and let live.

I am the only one of all the men in the family that did not, on their 16th birthday, participate in opening day of deer season. Preferred target shooting over shooting animals and, after a year long vacation courtesy of Uncle Sam, I no longer own or shoot any type of weapons.
I was raised, though, on eating venison, rabbit, duck, fish and whatever my grandfather caught or shot.

Fair enough. Other than the whole back to nature primative philosophy, the attraction for me has been the ‘do it yourself’ aspect when it comes to my food. I get great satisfaction growing my own food and had chickens for eggs in the past. I considered raising birds and rabbits for meat, but was never sure how I would feel butchering something I raised. I’ve always wanted bees for honey and goats for milk too.

No one seems to process their used pumpkins anymore and they are just left to rot.

I bought my house just over 19 years ago in October. I had big plans for a garden the following year and started a compost pile behind my shed in a spot that was shady. I carved a pumpkin for Halloween and handed out candy to my new neighbors. Once that pumpkin began to rot, it was added to my compost pile.
The following year I had pumpkin vines over 50 yards long growing out of my compost pile seeking the sun and about a dozen huge pumpkins. I’ve grown pumpkins in the years that followed, but never came close to the abundance of that happy accident that first year.

Had a fun Halloween night with all the kids coming to the door. Really great costumes. Even a few parents were along in costume. One girl of a friend was Madam Curie. She wore a Drs. white smock and had glow sticks of different colors all over it.
Then when I checked my email after all the spooky kids cleared the street, there was an email from my sister. Attached was a picture of us and our younger sister in past halloween costumes. From way back in the '50s. We were the Three Little Pigs. Had on pig masks, bib overalls with a curly pigtail coming out of our butts. As the oldest, I had a bundle of straw. Middle sister had a bundle of twigs. and the little one a cardboard box painted up like a stack of bricks. I've never forgotten those costumes. So great to see that old picture again. A real day maker.
Can't post it here, as no kid pictures allowed. Just take it from me...we were so cute! :sign_lookinggood:

We had 75 kids. I love seeing the little ones dressed up. There were a number of teenagers also. Love seeing them still enjoying one of my favorite holidays.
I give out big chocolate bars and most were very excited by that. Problem I have now is I have 20 left over Skittles, 3 Reeses PB cups, a couple of Hershey Bars. The Swedish Fish, no problem there, I put them in my glove box of my car in case I need a fix on the ride home. ;)

small hand? I would recommend looking at one of these. The Walther Ppks (or knockoffs by others, Bersa Thunder for one) or a sig Saur makes a couple like the P225 and P229, or the Walther PK-380, or the Walther CCP. All are smaller frames and grips.
It is important that the grip fit your hand. Women especially should pay a attention to the fit of the grip. It is more comfortable and makes control better. Also, many women have a proble with automatics because of weaker hands than men. If this is the case then the Walthers are good possibilities. The PK380 has a softer action which women seem to find easier to work. The CCP also is softer. The issue I have with the CCP is that it is a bear to disassemble and reassemble.

Most police forces either use a revolver or Glocks. I do not recommend a Glock. They hav no positive physical safety and with a round in the chamber, and your hand in the grip it will discharge. They only have drop-safe safeties and a two stage trigger pull for rounds. This is NOT the kind of safe handling firearm for novices or casual users. Ther is a reason why Glocks have the highest incidence of negligent discharges, the safety configuration is why.
Get a pistol with a thumb safety.
Stay away from the sub-compact pistols, they have an increased felt recoil and the grips are usually too small for comfort.

I have a Glock and a Springfield XD variant with a similar double action only DAO action. All guns need to be treated with the respect their lethality demands, but yeah those two I’m particularly careful of.
I showed the gf my XDm .45 this weekend, as I had it in the trailer. If she gets a gun, it won’t be one like that.
I like my Springfield a lot though. It’s my backpacking back up to bear spray. If the bear spray just pisses off the bear, well then I got back up.

I have two .45 autos, both Springfields, one the XDm compact and the other a 1911 like officers and other military carried for many decades.
I have my Dad’s Cold 1911A1. Such a sweet pistol. Browning got the grip to barrel angle just right.
There are a lot of 1911 aficionados out there that have numerous versions of that same gun. I’ll probably stop with my one, but you never know. I shoot my 1911 more accurately than my XDm due to the 1911 having a longer barrel, but I still like the XDm.

A pay raise!
I had asked for just under 50% (hey, it doesn't cost anything to ask). Realistically, I was prepared for anything between 5 and 15% so I was a little shocked and more than a little pleased when it worked out to be close to 40%.
First raise since 2011 so I'm really just getting back to about where I was then, but it sure will help.

For breakfast. Two eggs over medium, dry white toast, hash browns, 8 pieces of bacon. YES 8. Thin and crispy, well done. I only ate two bites of hash browns.
Everybody came back to the house for the Lions game. Mark's oldest and I went to the store and bought Bacon, Lettuce, Tomatoes and a load of bread. And for Linner, we had BLT's. I only had one. The house still smells like Bacon 6 hours later And I had my first diet coke in 5 months. Soooooo goooooood. I was so bad today.
Shoot, this coming Thursday was supposed to be my one bad day of eating for the week. To the workout room tomorrow after work.
Oh, and the Lions won. Not that it made my day, but made everyone in my house a little more pleasant to be around. All the girls planned out Thx dinner menu. One other thing, my daddy's friend can almost completely understand me. Only a couple of times did she give me the "da fuk you just say" look.
It was a good day. My bed is calling me now though. So excited for this week.

Made chili on Thursday for the weekend and had chili dogs for dinner last night. My Peruvian gf never had chili. This was followed by pulled pork sandwiches for breakfast today, another first for her. I spent most of the day Saturday smoking the pork and finishing in the oven until about 4AM. She’s learning about real American food now.
Her brother’s wife had a birthday today, so we had lunch with her family. I picked her up again tomorrow after work. She says she likes nachos, and I admit I never did this before either, but pulled pork and chili nachos can’t possibly fail to please, slathered with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pickled jalapeños and that chili and pulled pork.

Having everyone home and starting the feasting. We grilled red fish and had butternut squash soup, salad, and fresh rolls for dinner, drank wine and egg nog, and made pies for Thanksgiving. I’m doing a beef Wellington, creamed spinach, yellow squash casserole, and a potato au gratin with creme fraiche, gruyere, and brie. Pop overs.

When I commented that I remember the girl depicted, she confessed she had a mad schoolgirl crush on me (I was a number of years older) back then, and that “I remember being too shy to ask you to sign my yearbook, so I faked your signature.”

A day this week... obfuscated in case someone might recognize the situation.
Part of my job requires walking around and talking to people. I needed to interview 2 or 3 people in one area about some basics, and noticed one cute gal at the next bench was wildly attentive. She looked like a dog on point, hanging on everything I said. If she'd had a tail, it would have been wagging so hard she'd have bruised the gal next to her.
She's from a small country near India and looks like she's about 15, although we don't hire anyone under 18. I'd take her home in a hot minute if I wasn't working with her. I didn't want to lead her on, so I didn't interview her, only a couple of other people.
It's a confidence boost that she's interested, even tho I'm old enough to be her great-grandfather. Hell, maybe I remind her of a favorite grandfather! :emot_laughing:

It was yesterday, but never had a chance to post.
Got the phone I've lusted for yesterday. Google Pixel 3 XL. Got great reviews for the camera. As a photographer I don't usually have all my gear for quick outings and my last phone was a puny 4 meg. pixels...now I have a tad over 12 megs.
Will be trying it out soon.
To show you just how bad I wanted this, I braved "Black Friday" to get it. Couldn't help it...$400 off!!! Holy shit, nearly half price! There was an hour and a half wait to get a rep. to sell me the phone, but got to talk to some nice people who were also waiting. Oh yeah...got some trade in value from the old phone. OK, a whopping $33, but what the hell...it was of no further use to me and can't bitch about saving another $33 when you're on a fixed income. :D

Busy day tomorrow as a certain little girl in my house turns 9 years old. Kids party with 15 (thankfully some other moms helping), followed a short break and then two hours later the family party. Oh boy. It's going to be a long day.
Have a good weekend everyone. Maybe I'll sneak on tomorrow night. Sunday for sure during the boys football viewing gathering. Lions versus the best team right now the LA team. Work people are saying Lions are going down hard.

This is being written for Mark. It made his day.
He took immense joy in a marketing failure by one of his competitors, General Motors. (Mark works for Chrysler).
GM is the official sponsor of the Red Wing and Pistons arena. During intermission of the Red Wing game the other night, as they normally do, a Silverado (or other GM vehicle) takes the ice along with the zamboni. It drives around for people to ooh and aah at it while the announcer talks about it (Is this just a motor city thing?). Well, Wednesday it broke down in the middle of it's performance. The zamboni had to go around it.
It was reported yesterday that it wasn't actually a breakdown. The driver of the vehicle accidentally accepted a software download request and it made the care incapacitated for 10 minutes.
Maybe it's Karma for all the job cuts announced the other day. #winning

So at 6:30 this morning, I was on the computer when I heard a couple thumps outside. Checking the calendar, I saw it's way too early in the month to be Santa and our $%#*%$ weekend paper delivery person never gets here 'til after 8 AM.
Opening our front door, there was our next door neighbor shoveling the newly fallen snow off our step after having shoveled the walk. What a gal! I talked to her an hour later when I was out and mentioned we have an extra space in the garage since we sold the "Basset Limo". ("sigh" all the Bassets are gone now) About then her partner came out and thought how great. They wanted a place to store the canoe. Knowing they have three vehicles, I'd thought they'd want to put one in our garage...but no...the canoe was their big concern. Whatever!
So one of 'em says how about $100 for the winter. Naw says I. Shovel the driveway and the space is yours. "Deal!" was the answer. When we got back from breakfast with friends, the driveway was cleared. Going over tomorrow with the overhead door clicker and a key to the man door.
We live in a great neighborhood. Last couple of summers the neighbor across the street has been mowing our lawn. Old age is getting better all the time. Now, if people with start rotating in with food............ :D

I sent a text last night to the wife, “Clean your anus before I get home. Daddy wants some village girl bung hole for dinner.” She met me at the door in a robe, stripped, crawled around on the floor like a dog, and sucked me, before I even loosened my tie. I proceeded to give her the treatment... fingers, tongue, butt plugs, Lelo, Hitachi, and of course, a nice long fuck. Must have been good; she had six orgasms. I only had one, but hey, it’s a work night.

Nah. It’s not just a Motor City thing. I don’t know about now, but the Oilers used to bring a paid sponsor vehicle out on the ice between periods as well.
Back in the pre-NHL days in Ottawa, the 67s used to bring little Dodge Rampage trucks out. Of course the driver had no idea on how to drive on ice and ended up doing two or three accidental donuts.

I pay about $9/gallon!!
If it makes you feel any better, when I’m hauling my travel trailer with my big ass truck I get about 7 miles to the gallon. Seems like I blink and need gas again. Driving 2000+ miles across the country last year, the frequent stops for gas were both annoying and expensive.

A few minutes ago I fed the dog putting the bowl near the doorway to the kitchen. I then grabbed a broom and began sweeping up some of her shed hair. I wanted to sweep through the doorway, but she was still eating and in the way. She looked at me, and then picked the bowl up in her teeth moving it out of my way by a couple feet and resumed eating. And my late wife inexplicably called her dumb. My good girl German Shepherd just made my day with that simple act.

It arrived in my account just as it hit zero, and moments before Mrs Boast remembered a bunch of gifts she really needs to buy for people for whom we have already bought gifts.

Thank you Remmy. I’m not the only one. Note: If you wait another day, there are excellent after Christmas sales.
Full disclosure... I only buy 1 Christmas gift every year, for my wife. She buys all the gifts for everyone else, family, kids and grandkids. :-[ All I have to do is write a check when the credit card bill comes.
Remmy
PS: On more than one occasion, I've given her cash because I had no idea what she wanted... she enjoyed the after Christmas sales. :D

Getting rid of a body, and getting away with it isn't as easy as one might think. Also, I've got a roof over my head, a nice kitchen, a bath tub, and sex pretty much every day out of the deal.

Had a huge birthday bash for my daughter. There are empty pizza boxes stacked up. There's not a crumb left of cake. The kids are all watching a movie together. And I don't wanna clean up. But I will. :roll:
I got her brand new clothes for her birthday instead of Christmas. Yes, she actually asked for new clothes. She wants to donate some of her older stuff before Christmas. Stuff she's kinda grown out of. If you don't have children you don't understand how quickly they grow out of their clothes. :facepalm:
My depression has lifted a bit.

Yes, Birthday Pizza Party. That's how I celebrated tonight. Treated several friends to pizza. A couple couldn't make it so ended up a few got to take some home too. We had a good time and did it all at the Pizza place, so no clean up at home needed. ;D

Still trying to settle my mom's estate, I met with the branch manager of her credit union, a young woman.
After taking a copy of the court documents I provided, she picked up her phone to make a call. I couldn't help noticing that the coiled cord from the handset to the phone was badly tangled, so badly that she actually had to lean over near the phone to talk into the handset.
When she hung up I suggested that it might be easier for her to use the phone if she untangled the cord. She frowned and asked how to do that.
I motioned and she slid the phone within my reach. I unplugged the cord from the phone and held the handset up. She stared while the cord spun around in the air until it hung straight down, without any tangles.
I plugged the handset back in and handed it to her. She stared at it for about three seconds, then held it to her ear without having to lean over.
She put the phone down in it's cradle and then looked at me like I had just walked on water.

I often feel stupid, frustrated and helpless using my smart phone, while the young people seem to know how to use every aspect of the darn things. But like you, I also possess the magical knowledge of how to untangle the cord on a phone.

Here's the first phone I remember using. (https://i.imgur.com/B1uhx0X.jpg) No screens, no icons, no battery to recharge, no worries about memory or getting a signal.
It just hung there on the wall. We were on a party line with four or five other families. Our ring was one long and three shorts. In order to call someone else on the party line you just turned the crank and rang their code.
To go "outside" the party line you gave one long crank and waited until a woman got on the line and said, "Number please." You give her the number and back at the telephone office she'd stick in patch cord plugs on the big board in front of her. (Watch some old movies. It was a favorite scene they liked to plug in.) With the lines patched in, the operator would then ring the other phone and you'd wait for them to answer. So simple, and you didn't need a fifth grader to show you how to do it. But as illustrated, you had to be careful not to get tangled in the cord...or talk during a thunderstorm, as a bolt of lightning could come through the phone if the line got struck.
It was nice to be smarter than your phone back then. Then we got dial phones and the operator was eliminated except for long distance, until they invented area codes. It was all downhill from there. ;D

Oh I've had GOMS for years now. Not to mention CRS (Can't Remember Shit). Or maybe CRS is just a symptom of GOMS.
I do remember telling (warning) my kids years ago that I wouldn't be slipping into old age gracefully so they might as well get used to having a GOM to deal with.
I know what you mean about so-called 'celebs' because my daughter keeps naming people I've never heard of. She challenged me to name one current pop singer. Hah! I named two... Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift.
Of course, I couldn't name even one song that either one has done but I've heard of them. And, oh yeah Katy... something. Never mind.

My house smells like Christmas. Even though I don't like the holiday, I love my family being here. And I loved seeing the kids get stuff they wanted. Stuff that cost a small fortune.

Now CJ is most likely going to take another little girl from a negligent parent. I've been taking care of her since she was a baby. Her family doesn't seem to care. Her mother even tells her to just go live with CJ. She's walked all the way here on her own AT NIGHT sometimes. She comes here hungry and neglected. Her mother just doesn't seem to care. Enough is enough. She's been with us for a while now. Her mom said "just get her stuff", but thanks to her, all her stuff was stuff I gave her. My mommies wife, a lawyer, is going to handle it from here. I want her in this family. Safe, warm and not starving.

:D She's a wonderful girl. Not because of her family, but hopefully because of me. Since I've practically raised her anyway. The last time she came here on her own in the middle of the night she was freezing, hungry and crying. I almost had her mother arrested. She's been with us ever since and unless I'm ordered to return her, I'm not letting her go back. It looks like there won't be much of a fight put up for her by her family anyway. So unless I'm legally ordered to give her up, she's not going anywhere. CJ's gonna put up a hell of a fight for her.

Later today, wife has promised to briefly return to Mistress mode. I'm to receive a New Year spanking, similar to the birthday ones I got in December...80 for her birthday and 73 on my birthday.
For the new year, she decided on 20 swats on the left cheek and 19 more on the right cheek. :emot_bottomspank:

It's the New Year. 2019 !!! Yay!!! With the beginning of this new year, I take all those things that made 2018 not so great and put them in a box and file them away. I will focus on 2019 and all the great all opportunities that will come with it. This new year brings optimism. I wake up this morning with the power of positive thinking and I can't help but smile.

Watching the swearing in of Michigan new leadership today.
The highlight so far being Michigan's first openly gay person being elected into a top position. Dana Nessel, our new Attorney General, thanked her two sons and her wife for their support.

Yay Dana!

We were supposed to go back to Canada in December to visit friends like we did a couple years ago, but we had to cancel.
We made the decision to wait till Summer and take the tribe like we did with New York last Summer. :D

I started following Tottenham about seven years ago. They're one of those "close but not too close" teams, who have been hovering between 5th - 3rd place for the last four or five seasons. And I'm very happy to see them in 2nd place.
Of course, this is a snapshot at one specific moment. They're only one point clear of Man City, which, being objective, is a better side than Tottenham. And there's still 17 matches left this season.
Still, the "big five" teams -- Man City, Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal -- have dominated English soccer for decades -- and it's great to see a team outside that group rising up the table. The Spurs are a fun team to watch. They're young, they're hungry, and they've made their rise without spending millions of dollars buying top players from other teams.

Just got an email from our lawyers office. We will be finalizing adoption of my niece to my husband on Monday. I am so flipping excited, right now.
Only a few know this but, eventhough I refer to her on KB as my niece, and I always will, legally she is my daughter. I adopted her after my sister passed away and when we found out my brother in law was sick.
To her, I will always be Aunt (real name). And she will always call Mark by his real name.

I passed out in the 6's bed last night. Woke up warm and snuggled with her. :D
5 minute snuggle to send her off to sleep had the same effect on me. CJ got too comfy, couldn't get up, snuggled with the 6 all night. :D
Sounds like heaven on earth. Lucky CJ.

Wifey got a job offer to be head chef at a fancy fuckin' restaurant, but it's further away from home than where she works now. It's not THAT far really, and it's right at a heavily trafficked area and they apparently do incredible business. I've driven by the place countless times and I actually thought it was a hotel! I guess I never noticed it's a fancy fuckin' posh restaurant.
She wants the job. She really wants it. I wanted her to quit the job she has because of how much they use and abuse her talents and how tired she is when she gets home. This job would be way better according to her. So I told her to take it if she wants it. She'll also make more money, so that's good.

Big family day today. A rare occurrence. Daughter is in from New York for a couple weeks. She came to the house and Wife's son arrived too. All four of us went out to breakfast and had a good visit.
Took the son home after then the womenfolk went shopping as I was allowed to drive and trail behind in the stores. Then carry the bags to the car. Fun seeing them have fun. Daughter calls my wife "Mom". Doesn't have anything to do with her own mother anymore. I don't like that, but have to remember I divorced her too.
Plans in the works for more shopping Thursday. Wheeee

Since I don't have a scorecard to tell the players apart, I will ask for clarification. Are you talking about the attorney of Japanese descent who is a wee bit bossy?
I hope she understands that being the head chef in a high end restaurant can be one of the most stressful jobs you can have. Don't be surprised if she comes home even more tired and stressed out than she is now.
That being said I hope it works out for the both of you. Doing something that you love takes a lot of stress out of doing it. I would advise against her making that special ice cream you talked about in another thread... ;D

Being pronounced "miraculously healthy" after my annual physical. My doctor continues to be mystified, considering that I've been a pack a day smoker for nearly 50 years. Today he said, "If all my patients were as healthy as you, I'd be out of business." :D
He also told me the percentage of men my age with normal blood pressure is minuscule, but mine is and always has been right around 120/80. I only take one prescription drug, a statin to control cholesterol levels, and for someone my age, that's virtually unheard of. :o

I couldn't believe my eyes. I opened up the local paper's online edition before hitting the rack and there in a bold headline, "JAYME CLOSS FOUND ALIVE, WIS. SHERIFF SAYS". Not a national story I realize, but since Oct. 15th, those of us in the north country have been waiting for some kind of news of this 13 year old girl. On that day law enforcement officers responded to a 911 call from the family's rural residence. Both parents were found dead and Jayme missing. There were no clues, scant leads and massive searches conducted. It's an isolated heavily forested area.
One of the latest efforts to request tips was putting a painted semi truck on the road asking people to call if they'd seen anything. That's how desperate they were for leads.
Now tonight I see she's found. Very little information as yet. Who knows what's been happening to her for the past three months. Her parents are gone, but there are family members who have been hoping and praying for her return. Now their prayers are answered...Jayme is coming home.
Title: Re: What made your day today?/100 Happy Days
Post by: msslave on January 11, 2019, 12:06:16 PM
Brief update. Jayme was able to escape where she was being held. It was a rural wooded area with few year round homes, mostly summer cabins. A dog walker found her. She was malnourished with matted hair and wearing oversized shoes. The dog walker took her to the home of another couple and police were called. They sealed off the area and within minutes had made an arrest. A 21 year old is being held.
These stories of abducted young girls rarely have a happy ending after so much time has gone by.

My Peruvian, her momma, her sister, and her niece are going wedding dress shopping this morning. Is it making my day that she’s getting a dress for our wedding? Not really, as I’m sure they will figure out how I will end up paying for it. What is making my day is because of tradition, I am forbidden to go with them!
To put this in perspective, I once went dress shopping with just her in Waikiki Beach Hawaii. We must have went in over 30 stores over a 5 hour period, AND SHE BOUGHT NOTHING! So we had to go shopping for a few hours again the next day, while we were in fucking Hawaii! In the end I bought her a dress for a Luau that got canceled due to a hurricane. So the last 4 days of our Hawaiian vacation were wasted due to dress shopping and then inclement weather. We could have been doing something fun. I’ve never seen her wear that expensive dress she finally got.

Mrs Boast spent weeks shopping around for wedding dresses.
Fortunately, she didn't take me (because tradition), and took friends with her.
After about a month, she went back to the first shop she'd visited, and bought the first dress she'd tried on.

She’s renting, so I’m hoping that eases the damage to my wallet.
But I’m sure she will drag me shopping again soon, and I’ll probably hear about how much money she saved me by renting, and now I have money to buy her other things.
I have $6 in the bank right now post Christmas. Good thing pay day is the 15th, and I do not work for the government like so many do here in Maryland.

Jed, I had to laugh when I read this. My wife did the same thing, and not any local stores either. JC Freaking Penney and Sears!
I suppose in a way I was just as bad. I hate soft drinks from a can, always opting for fountain drinks from convenience stores. About the 4th day we were there, I'd had my fill of canned sodas and found the address for a 7-11.
I got on a city bus and asked if I could get to that address on the bus and the answer was yes. Forty-five minutes and one transfer later I saw the familiar sign and slaked my thirst for a fountain drink.
As I was paying for my drink, I mentioned the name of our hotel and asked the cashier the best way to get there. He pointed to the left and said I should go 2 blocks that way, then turn right and go four more blocks and I'd be right in front of it.
Even on foot, it didn't take me 45-minutes to walk the six blocks to get back to where I started. :facepalm:

As I was paying for my drink, I mentioned the name of our hotel and asked the cashier the best way to get there. He pointed to the left and said I should go 2 blocks that way, then turn right and go four more blocks and I'd be right in front of it.
Even on foot, it didn't take me 45-minutes to walk the six blocks to get back to where I started. :facepalm:

I'm sorry I did that. It was a sincere problem you're having with your family, and I should have left it alone.
I don't "Crave" attention, any more than you do. In fact, I just noted how nice it was to be ignored, and you interjected, to annoy me.

Shopping is such a powerful draw that even in a tropical paradise (which is costing several hundred dollars a day just to be there) you're willing to ignore paradise and shop? :o
Now Barnes and Noble I wouldn't mind the time in, but JCP or Kohls? I just try to find a comfortable place to sit and read an e-book on my phone. "Don't go with her" is not always an option.

Yes, silly me being in Hawaii and thinking time spent on a beach and swimming in a pristine ocean made more sense than hours of dress shopping in horribly overpriced shops? I wanted to body surf in the famous Waimea Bay. In the end she got her dress shopping with her sister and mom (with my credit card in her pocket).

I prefer Kuai’i and Maui to Oahu, but took the kids to Waikiki a few years ago. My son has a high end spectral disorder, and could not walk past three miles of gift shops without having a complete meltdown. I finally bought him something and a bandana. I blindfolded him, and carried him all the way back to the hotel. I don’t think my wife would let me do that.

The trip was booked by my Peruvian’s family. After I started dating her, she asked if I wanted to go. I think I said, Hell yeah!’
But yes, not my first choice for the state of Hawaii, but it had a cool kind of retro feel staying in Waikiki Beach. Book em Danno.

My family used to travel on the Matson Lines each year and stayed the the Halekulani (“House Befitting Heaven”). The were only three hotels on Waikiki back then: the Moana, the Royal Hawaiian, and the Halekulani. So I’m nostalgic.
We stayed at the Halekulani, which is nothing like the original. But I felt a connection with the grandparents. So it was a good time. But Waikiki is a mess.
Waikiki is a confusing maze of hotels, bars and shops with numerous pools inexplicably containing mostly African rift lake cichlids.
And at night, lots of Asian hookers.
WHICH beach was that again? ;D
Oh. Wait. I'm in DALLAS, I have plenty of Asian hookers here. :emot_kiss: Google:"asian massage parlor" or AMP I can suggest a couple of good info sites. :D

My brother in law was a big computer geek. When there were major changes in his life, he would title that stage in his life like a software version is named. Some changes were huge and received a version upgrade and some were minor and received a version update.
So, sitting here tonight I started figuring out what version I'm on. Each version has many updates, but too many things to list so I'll just list major upgrades with just a few updates worth mentioning...

Daughter ended her two week visit...not the day brightener, but got one more breakfast with her this morning and she came along as I ran some errands.
Got to spend a bit more time with her then when her hubby is along. She flew here to visit a friend with cancer. Friend is doing ok and daughter wants to enjoy those last good days
Our times were on weekends and a shopping trip mid week with the wife last week. Tho' we didn't spend that many days with her, we had a lot more time each visit. She and hubby will be back in April...after the maple syrup harvest and processing is done. Yummm! Oh yeah...dog come with them too. Dog loves the wife and goes terrier crazy everytime she sees her.

It's a 48 hours of pajama weekend for me and my squad. My niece has a friend staying over with her parents going out of town. So, lots of crafts, Disney movies, Wii dancing and girl fun. Mark will be happy to get back to work on Monday, I'm sure. But we'll watch his football games too, so he shouldn't be too bored. I'm surprising him throughout the weekend with shrimp and lamb-chops some shishkabobs and some other things I forgot. Also, the girls and I will be making pizzas from scratch. I'll be sipping some bourbon too.

A while back I discovered the ‘spare’ set of keys they gave me at the dealer when I bought my camper/trailer were the wrong set. I had them in my truck for a year until I realized they didn’t work. I only had one set and been putting off getting a 2nd set made. I’ve been fearful of losing my only set while on a trip. I go places in the middle of nowhere, so finding a locksmith would be a real pain.
This morning I found another set in my underwear drawer that work. I must have been handed two spare sets at one point, but one was wrong and I put the wrong one in my truck and the right one in the house promptly forgetting about it.
Such little things make my day these days.

A day late posting, but yesterday, aged 51, I had my first ever ride of a motorbike.
I say "motorbike", but it's only a 50cc 2-stroke moped. Youngest son bought it from a friend for a tenner, and is working to make it properly rideable after 25 years as a farm bike.
No lights, one working brake, seat missing, back wheel no circular, front forks pointing in three different directions at once (none of them the correct one), seat gone a bit peculiar, wiring loom largely missing, most body panels cracked or missing, but it goes.
I probably only got it up to ten miles an hour, but that was up the potholed back lane, with nowhere to put my feet - it was terrifying, but fun!

First major snow of the season starting tonight thru Monday. 6 to 10 inches of white snow with winds.
Didn't burn out the old gas in the snowblower last spring, so got some fresh gas and gave it a try.
It started!
Now that I'm ready, maybe the storm will shift and miss us...again. I'll be out there, bundled up, snowblower primed and...Nothing. No sweat, I'll be glad for a another miss.
If it hits, I'm set...bring it on Mother Nature, you winter bitch!
So, my day maker was getting the snowblower fired up again.

Two things, actually. First, I got my garage back Monday. The spring and both cables were broken, and one of the cables had gotten wedged behind one of the rollers. That's what prevented me from being able to raise the door manually. I'm thankful that the weather cooperated and I didn't have to scrape any ice during the time I had to park outside.
Second, multiple PMs. I've never gotten more than one at a time, so that was quite a pleasant surprise. So, if any of you feel the need to vent about something and would rather not do it publicly, feel free to unload on me in private. I keep confidences, and will lend a sympathetic ear.
Or, tell you you're acting like an idiot if you're... you know, acting like an idiot. :emot_laughing:

With the extreme cold, public and private agencies are out doing what they can for the many homeless on our streets. Stories like this are always heartwarming. The worse times can bring out the best in people.
Police are out offering hats, scarves and mittens. Hot chocolate is being served on the street. One homeless man was found under a pile of blankets near a highway. He was in the early stages of frostbite on his fingers. Refused to be taken to a shelter, so a medical emergency was declared and he was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Also on the bright side, it will warm up soon. Only -2 for a high tomorrow and a plus 19 Friday. Weekend it actually will be above freezing with temps near or above 40 with a chance of rain Sunday!
Forecast like that is a real day brightener. :D

Mark's daughter arrived home from college late last night, she wasn't supposed to come until late this evening. This makes me so happy. I had planned on spending it with my daddy's girlfriend, but now it's a threesome. Shopping, lunch at a new place that I've been wanting to visit, more shopping, then coming back to the house for some meal prep for tomorrow. Everybody is sleeping over tonight (and tomorrow night). Breakfast, games, a poker tournament, karaoke, a movie (or more like a nap), then around 4 we'll start gearing up and setting up the food. I have 3 football squares I'm in. Best opening quarter I have is NE 3, Rams 0. I also have NE 3, Rams 6. That's the expensive game at $50 per square (1000 payout each quarter). So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that.

A couple of things made my day on Friday.
1st was the look on a couple of young boys’ (about 4 years old) faces when, at my request, one of the museum live animal specialists took out a giant millipede and gave a short talk about the critter. The boys were too short to see the millipedes in their terrarium.
2nd - my wife returned from a week in Calgary. She has a new job and went south for some training with the company she now works for.

Finally persuaded Mrs ODK that we should see them. Saw Ovo (fabulous) last year and Totem (not quite so fabulous but still stunning) this year. They don't come to the UK in the same order the shows are premiered, nor are the number of performances consistent. Amaluna was here at one location in 2017, Ovo was at lots of UK locations, but Totem was back to one.

Lindsey Vonn, hometown girl adds one more medal to her vast collection in her final ski race of her career. She's retiring, ten months earlier than planned and leaves the slopes as the best women skier of all time. She also came close to tying the record of the best men's skier, Ingemar Stenmark. He was on hand today at Lindsey's request to watch her final race before retiring due to shattered knees that are the result of her many crashed. She finished the stellar career wiht a Bronze.
Vonn first hit the slopes as a young child here in Minneapolis at a ski area called Buck Hills. It is a hill, no where near a mountain. Most of the runs there would be considered a "bunny hill" at any other ski area.
She was a slow starter as a kid, getting the nickname of turtle. That soon changed. At age 12 her family moved to Aspen when it became clear that she had the makings of a champion. Those expectations proved to be more than true as her record shows.
She still considers her roots to be here in Minnesota, and we think of her as one of our own. Thanks for all the thrills Lindsey.

Today, February 12, is Abraham Lincoln's birthday, always a big day for we Illinoisans.
(https://i.imgur.com/l3tB0J5.jpg)
Fun Lincoln fact of the day: Lincoln didn't like his first name, and he hated the nickname "Abe."
When signing an official document, he would sign his full name:
(https://i.imgur.com/TcquBWW.jpg)
Otherwise, he would omit his first name and just use the initial:
(https://i.imgur.com/3I3OeEr.jpg)
His family and friends called him, simply, Lincoln. And he and his wife Mary referred to each other as "Father" and "Mother."

Another fact is that all photos of Lincoln without a beard predate his Presidency. All photos of him with a beard is when he was President.
Close, but not exactly.
In October 1860, an 11-year-old girl from upstate New York named Grace Bedell wrote a letter to then-candidate Lincoln, urging him to grow a beard. As she put it in her letter:
"I have yet got four brothers and part of them will vote for you any way and if you let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you and then you would be President."
A few days later, Lincoln wrote back to her, saying:
"As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a silly affectation if I were to begin it now?"
Lincoln obviously took her advice to heart, and immediately began growing a beard. our months later, after Lincoln was elected, Lincoln began a long train journey from his hometown in Illinois to Washington DC for his inauguration. The train passed through Grace Bedell's home town on the way, and when it arrived in her town, Lincoln stepped down from the train, ignored the local dignitaries and hundreds of others waiting at the station, and immediately asked if Grace was there. She was, and Lincoln gave her a big hug and engaged with her in conversation for several minutes, while everyone else had to wait. Years later, Bedell recalled her famous meeting with the newly-elected president:
"He climbed down and sat down with me on the edge of the station platform," she recalled. "'Gracie,' he said, 'look at my whiskers. I have been growing them for you.' Then he kissed me. I never saw him again."
So, technically, Lincoln began the beard before being elected, and there are pictures of a bearded Lincoln pre-election. The picture I posed above was taken in August 1960.
This picture was taken in Chicago a few days before the election:
(https://i.imgur.com/epZseh8.jpg)
This one was taken in Springfield in January 1861, after the election, but before Lincoln left for Washington DC to be inaugurated:
(https://i.imgur.com/Wcf4Ao1.jpg)
This one was taken in Springfield in February 1861, just before Lincoln's departure for the nation's capital:
(https://i.imgur.com/6nfi1BJ.jpg)
Here's Lincoln in Philadephia en route to Washington, taken on February 22, 1861. Lincoln is giving a speech celebrating Washington's birthday:
(https://i.imgur.com/yuVvQzW.jpg)

This is one of a series of five pictures taken by Alexander Gardener at Mathew Brady's studio in Washington DC on February 24, 1861, about a week before the election:
(https://i.imgur.com/ztyimw9.jpg)
Finally, this picture was taken in late March or early April 1861, making it the first photograph of Lincoln as president:

Is there such a thing as a geography nazi? :emot_laughing:
In the interest of full disclosure, Mr. Lincoln was a Kentuckian by birth, the proverbial (and actual) log cabin located in Hodgenville, Kentucky.
The Lincoln family moved to Indiana when he was seven. There, at the age of nine, Abe lost his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Ten years later in 1828, his older sister Sarah died at the age of 21.
A year after Nancy Lincoln died, Thomas Lincoln married his second wife, Sarah Bush Johnson Lincoln, who had three children of her own. Sarah Lincoln proved to be a kind and loving stepmother, making the two families into one. She brought with her many books, feeding Abe’s greatest pleasure.
After 14-years in Indiana, Abe's family moved to Illinois when he was 21-years old, and he was officially an Illinoisan for the remainder of his life.
Remmy
PS: Abraham Lincoln is sometimes credited with being the first Republican (with a capital R) president to be elected.
PPS: Here's an image of a statue in Grace Bedell's hometown of Westfield, New York.

The log cabin in Hodgenville, Kentucky is not the actual cabin where Lincoln was born. It's not even certain it stands on the location where he was born. The National Park Service, which runs the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park describes the cabin as "symbolic." It was built in 1895 -- close to 90 years after Lincoln was born.
After Nancy Hanks Lincoln died in 1818, Lincoln's father, Thomas, left his children at home and traveled to Elizabethtown, KY to visit Sarah Bush Johnson, whom he had known since childhood. Unbeknownst to children back home, Thomas's visit to Sarah was a business transaction: He was a widower with children, and she was a widow with children, and their marriage was agreed upon for purely practical motives. Thomas then returned to Indiana with his new wife and three stepchildren.
Sarah Bush Johnson Lincoln was indeed a second mother to the future president, and they shared a very affectionate bond. Sarah would outlive her famous stepson, passing away in April 1869, four years almost to the day after Lincoln was murdered.
P.S. Lincoln isn't "sometime credited" with being the first Republican president; he WAS the first Republican president. The Republican Party was founded in 1854, and it offered its first presidential candidate, John C. Fremont, in the 1856 election. Lincoln wsa the Republican nominee in the 1860 election.

Had this forwarded to me yesterday. Made me appreciate Lincoln even more:
Between 400 and 800 settlers were killed in the the Great Sioux Uprising (today called the “Dakota-U.S. Conflict"), and the United States Army pursued and captured the perpetrators. A military commission tried and convicted 303 Dakota warriors for the massacre. The military commanders wanted to begin the executions immediately, but the sentences required presidential review.
General Pope telegraphed the names of the condemned to Lincoln. Lincoln responded three days later, asking Pope to send “the full and complete record of these convictions” and to identify “the more guilty and influential of the culprits.” General Pope grudgingly complied but said, “The only distinction between the culprits is as to which of them murdered most people or violated most young girls. All of them are guilty of these things in more or less degree."
After reviewing the available records from the proceedings, Lincoln allowed only 38 of the 303 to be executed. He did not participate in the trials, only in the review for the purpose of granting a stay of execution to the majority of those found guilty. The truth is that the Army wanted to immediately kill all 303 of the Dakota warriors on the spot, and, had it not been for President Lincoln, it is likely that 303 would have died as opposed to the 38 who committed the most heinous atrocities.

There were 37 hung at the end. One was cleared after several settlers told how he helped his them, including a minister.
Hundreds of others were interned and many died that winter from the cold and lack of food.
It's a dark time in our state's history. There were many settlers killed and raped at the start of the up rising before the army could move in.
It was only a small group of Dakota's involved, but the whole tribe ended up being punished.

I understand and agree. I’m just pointing out that here is a President who took the time to investigate each case *personally* and commuted the death sentence for 87% of those convicted. I’m sure President “Andrew Jackson” Trump would have done the same.

In my mind, one of the most tragic things about the Civil War isn't usually taught in history books--the career derailment of Robert E. Lee.
Had it not been for the war, General Lee very well may have become one of our presidents, and probably would have been a very good one. Better than Grant, at any rate.
Like MissBarbara, I have been an admirer of Abraham Lincoln all my life. The depths of his integrity and compassion are sorely missing in today's society.
One of my favorite references to President Lincoln is in a Johnny Horton song, titled Johnny Reb. The song itself is a tribute to the Confederate spirit. The reference to Abe may be apocryphal, but one of the verses says:
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall, The folks thought he'd call, a great victory ball, But he asked the band to play the song, Dixie, For you Johnny Reb, and all that you believe.

The Blacks Hills are magical; not as imposing as the Rockies but uniquely wonderful. I was there for a few days in Oct 2016. I did an overnight hike in the Black Elk Wilderness Area that included summiting Harney Peak, the highest point in the state. And the Badlands are one of my favorite places in the world.
I just did a drive by on Mt. Rushmore that trip having been there as a kid. They wanted an ungodly amount of money just to park.
I like the area enough, I’d consider retiring there.

She's talking about her six-year old daughter, who has more compassion and empathy for other people than most adults.
That's fairly normal. In that adults suppressing their compassion and empathy is considered "Normal." Especially around 6 when they start 1st grade, start going to school, meeting new people... It's how they're equipped to learn social interactions, before they get burned, afraid, and shy.

that lyric is actually incorrect in that Lincoln had the band play Dixie not for what they believed, but to demonstrate that the southerners were Americans, our brothers. This is reflected in how Lincoln was proposing the reconstruction to be handled. Not as punishment but as reconciliation.

That's all perfectly true.
But one of the main reasons Lincoln asked the band to play "Dixie" is because he loved the song, he was saddened at how the Confederates had co-opted the song, and he was very pleased, since the war ended the day before, that it could be played again in the North.
According to a contemporary newspaper report, Lincoln's exact words were:
"FELLOW CITIZENS: I am very greatly rejoiced to find that an occasion has occurred so pleasurable that the people cannot restrain themselves.
[Cheers.]
"I suppose that arrangements are being made for some sort of a formal demonstration, this, or perhaps, to-morrow night.
[Cries of `We can’t wait,’ `We want it now,’ etc.]
"If there should be such a demonstration, I, of course, will be called upon to respond, and I shall have nothing to say if you dribble it all out of me before.
[Laughter and applause.]
"I see you have a band of music with you.
[Voices, `We have two or three.’]
"I propose closing up this interview by the band performing a particular tune which I will name. Before this is done, however, I wish to mention one or two little circumstances connected with it. I have always thought `Dixie’ one of the best tunes I have ever heard. Our adversaries over the way attempted to appropriate it, but I insisted yesterday that we fairly captured it.
[Applause.]
I presented the question to the Attorney General, and he gave it as his legal opinion that it is our lawful prize.
[Laughter and applause.]
"I now request the band to favor me with its performance."

Routine visit to the doctor yesterday, it was mere coincidence I happened to be sick. My Peruvian went with me. The doctor asked about my prescriptions trying to add discretely ‘and the blue pill?’ I replied, ‘It’s OK. SHE KNOWS what the blue pill is for.’ My Peruvian blushed a deep red and turned her face away in embarrassment, but she was also grinning ear to ear. Watching her reaction turned what was a bad day with us both being sick into a funny nice moment.

The polar vortex (or whatever the current buzz word is for air from the North Pole moving towards us) is going to make at least one more appearance next week. I hope this doesn’t mess up anyone’s nice growing things. Predicted to be in the teens here.

I was wondering about that. Nothing around here is attempting to bloom yet.
Sorry, whoever was talking about nectarines earlier. I got mixed up. Tenting them around 28-31 farenheit should save some of them from a soft freeze. If it gets down to 20, probably not.

Weirdly, an erotic nightmare. It's fucked up, but a lot of my inspiration comes from bad dreams, which I've been blissfully having a break from lately. Then, I read something triggering yesterday, which got those gears running again.
I honestly don't expect anyone else to understand my creative process, any more than what comes out of it, but I enjoy taking my horror, and turning it into something else. Still horrible, but a different one. I don't even understand why that works, but it does for me.
That's how I "Deal with it."

1 or 2 days off with pay, and I have time to read a book. The cheap plastic chairs could be more comfortable, but I can live with 'em.
I don't have to worry about being selected for a panel because I understand the reason for a jury. We're there not only to decide right or wrong, guilty or innocent, but also to decide if the law is just. Juries are what killed Prohibition: once we figured out we could vote NOT GUILTY on all of the alcohol cases (and did!), they stopped prosecuting them. Eventually the law was repealed. ;D Most of us have forgotten that since then, but the principle still applies.
With that knowledge in hand, either the lawyer(s) or the prosecutor won't want me.

An awkward moment when a guy recognized me from out on the ranch/range. A few weeks back, we went out hunting/shooting, and since we thought we had the place to ourselves, I went dressed up.
I guess he was a little freaked out, seeing me in a flektarn dress, holding a Varmit Rifle. Out on the Range, where there weren't any Antelope, but a few Deer, at least.
One of the reasons I moved here from Colorado Springs, to challenge people's worldview. The fight isn't there, it's here. Some people apparently still aren't ready to accept my existence, but they don't have to. Not when I have my warhammer/walking stick to see what I can scavenge from Lipschitz. (It's sold as a warhammer, but I use it to tear off car-doors by the hinges. The cops are cool about it, because if they find someone killed with a bec-du-corbin, the know who to talk to about it. The only guyl in town that owns a warhammer/bec du corbin.)

There's some in every state, but only in Florida can journalists read 9-11 transcripts. A lot of other sources like that, and the market is high for the weirdest story you can find.

About 30 years ago I read in the Baltimore Sun about a man entering the Baltimore City Police Station and placing a baggie of crack cocaine on the front desk.

There were about 10 times as many of my sister then of me, but still. I never knew they existed. I still haven't gone through all of them. Every picture of my sister and I together, she is usually hugging me in them. :'( ^ happy tears for finding them and being able to reminisce.

My uncle called yesterday. I haven’t spoken with him in 12 years. He says he has a painting by my great grandmother, that my grandmother wished for me to have. He wants to bring it to me. I remember the day my grandmother got a pen and wrote on the back of it, “Please give this to Toe upon my death.” I’ve been aware of this since her death, but didn’t want to make an issue of it. Perhaps he wants to make things right now; he just turned 70. I burst out bawling like a baby also, so I fully empathize Jules.

After a nearly two year absence, a hot little Asian girl I was friendly with showed up online again and began posting a ton. I spotted her back in October peeking in, but no posts.
Oh, and my Peruvian and I sat with another couple, also about to get hitched, and listened to a priest talk about sexuality. You wouldn’t think it, but I found the whole experience delightful, and had to surpress yelling ‘Fuck, yeah!’ every few minutes. Every time the priest said something about a healthy sex life, I squeezed her hand hard to emphasize my agreement.
Meanwhile the other couple younger than us seemed nervous by the priest’s lecture, the girl in particular looked extremely uncomfortable and stern. Her fiancé’s strange tickling on her arm did not seem to help her relax at at all. I couldn’t help thinking about what would relax the poor girl.

Watching my grandson sing and dance in a high school production of Cole Porter's musical Anything Goes.
The joy on his face warmed my cold little heart. He was having a great time and it showed in his expression. I'd share a picture of him in costume, but it would just get removed since he's underage.
That's okay, outside of family, he's just another high school kid like millions of others, but tonight he and the rest of the cast were very very very ;) entertaining.

In his card he wrote how I am "the glue that holds us all together." Then a "Happy Women's Day, a day late."
Also, good news is I finished up all my tax work yesterday at work. All submitted to the accounting firm. Now employee reviews next week, ugh.
My stepdaughter is home on spring break, my father and his girlfriend came over last night. We played games, and watched a movie and all just hung out. Hoping to repeat tonight with everyone, along with Mark's other daughter. AND she may be bringing over her boyfriend. She's 16 and never had a boyfriend, this is her first, so kind of a big deal.

Your symptoms sound a lot like a problem I had a few time...optic nerve palsy. Sounds bad, but usually fixes it's self. It did take two or three months in my case.
One of the optic nerves goes haywire, and the eye ends up moving off center causing vision distortion. In my case, I'd get double vision. First time it happened I was driving!

Got a message from my long lost little brother, from Canada. We're going to nerd out about tabeltop wargaming systems.
We've been working on it since my first system I came up with for green army men, in Corpus Christi, when I was 6. So, my version of it is a little older than Star Wars (The theatrical release.) So, the first generation was super simple, adapted from Battleship: Cut a box in half, and set it up as a screen. Get out your beach toys, so you can buils fortifications, roads, walls, moats, and trenches. Then, set up tour Army Men (Cowboys, and Indians, GI Joes, whatever) Guns (Bows, and arrows, catapults...) Pointed toward the energy.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
Take off the boxes, and look at the other side. Whoever finishes first goes first, take turns calling shots. Line of Sight ruled, if you can cover it up with the back of the miniature's head, you can shoot it. "Pew! Your turn."
He removes his piece, and picks one of yours. "Pew! That one."
Rinse/Repeat until one side wins, or the other one gives up.

First birding trip of the spring migration for this year! Wife and I headed up to our favorite area in Wisconsin. We heard the birds were starting to arrive and that there was some open water. Well, it was cold last night and the open areas had refrozen.
Just about everywhere on the lakes and flowages, were pairs of Trumpeter Swans. They were sitting on the ice and were staking out their nesting area. These areas, tho' still frozen, are fiercely defended by the Swans. We saw a few other birds too, but in a couple more weeks, if the weather holds, the place will be teeming with returnees.
Looking like a fun spring, after last years big freeze. We had over a foot of snow in the middle of April. Wiped out most of the seasons hatch of Canada Geese young. The eggs either froze or if they'd hatched, the goslings died. Grim year for the Geese. Hoping everything will rebound this year.
Got a few pictures too, of course. (https://i.imgur.com/QbpfQGl.jpg)

I'm getting into it with an "AnarchoChristian." With Scriptures. I love debating the scriptures.
Yes, I'm an Anarchist, and yes, I consider myself a follower of Christ. (Not "Christian," that's been ruined at this point) However, I also realize that the Christian God is the ultimate Authoritarian, and "AnarchoChristian" is a thinly veiled Theocrat. A Church-State, and we all know how well that's worked Historically.

Nothing drives the religious crazies over the edge faster than confronting their heretical beliefs with scripture. They all have a bookmark or bumper sticker that reads, “God said it. I believe it. That settles it.” Well I guess God doesn’t agree with you, does He?” [sound of heads exploding].
I told my mother that Pat Robertson is a false prophet, and Donald Trump is the Great Whore of Babylon. “I’m praying for you to get it right with God, because if the Rapture happens tomorrow, I’m afraid you’re going to be left behind.” She is still freaking out.

Nothing drives the religious crazies over the edge faster than confronting their heretical beliefs with scripture.
Yeah, well you know that I tried (And failed) to be an Antiochian Orthodox Monk. (Crisis of Faith.) So, I can whip him with scriptures in Syriac! He turns out to be a Libertarian, not an Anarchist, he just doesn't know the difference.
I specifically used the Gospels, and "The Greatest Commandment" to show that the Christian Law is Authoritarian.
Mathew: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
Mark: "‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."
And Luke: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Then, someone said that this isn't Enforced. So, I amended that with Luke 10:28 "Do this, and You Shall Live." (NIV)
You've got to know that there's very few quotes from Jesus that are backed up, in all 3 Gospels. I'm of the belief that if Mathew, Mark, AND Luke agree that He said it? There's a good chance that He actually said it. Here was his response:
AnarchoChristian: "I didn’t read through all of your comments. What I did see, seems to stem from a misunderstanding of law, Christianity and anarchy, that that I think these resources will address."
Then, he linked me to several episodes of his own Podcast, as a source, to explain the specific scriptures I listed, and quoted. "Watch my podcast" is not an answer.

I meant to post this a few days back, so I changed the subject title for this post.
While I was on vacation. I was checking my emails, and I received a message from someone. Someone that has become a friend over the past 7(ish) years. We don't talk or email every day, week or even month, but then we just suddenly do. And we have a flurry of emails back and forth about different things going on in our life or different experiences from our pasts - both good and bad. When I log in to gmail and see she has sent me something, my heart leaps out of my chest. Just a very special person that I feel blessed to have crossed paths with in this life.

A few days ago too for this:
Once a month my Peruvian and I meet with a Catholic Priest as part of pre-wedding prep. I like the guy a lot and was disappointed he found out he’s got a personal obligation the day of our wedding, so can’t perform it himself (seems his own father is taking his vows to also be a priest that day). He found another priest to do it, and we met with both of them this week. My deceased wife was Polish Catholic, so I find it ironic this new priest is from Poland.
There was some paperwork to fill out to get permission for this heathen non-Catholic to marry a good Catholic girl. The priest signed and my Peruvian signed, so I asked if I had to sign too. The priest replied, ‘No, you’re not Catholic.’ Then probably thinking that sounded like he was excluding me, he added, ‘But God loves you anyway.’
I immediately held my thumb and forefinger very close to indicate very small and quipped back, ‘But just a little bit less?’
Both priests began laughing very hard. The Polish guy was laughing so hard his face got beet red.
So what made my day was being slightly irreverent and making two Catholic Priests laugh out loud at my joke.

No tan lines!!! ;)

I never take off my fitbit or my wedding ring except to shower. And peeking beneath my fitbit band, I do have a bit of a tan line.
And, speaking of my fitbit, I hit my 10,000th step at lunch. And I'm running 4 miles when I get home. New goal for today, 20,000. I'm killing it this week (Sun-Wed below).
But my fitbit won't sync right now. :( Also a made my day.... first 100,000 step week since last Sept. All the floors were from running up and down bleachers on vacation. I didn't know I did 193 floors. It's nice when you have time off work for daily activity.

It just so happens, that her husband was transferred into Mark's department recently. We all committed to the four of us going out together soon.

One of those moments where you're having a few drinks and you do something that is funny (or you think it is). Even the next morning, you think back to it and think it was funny. But then as the day goes on, you start to get this feeling in your gut that you made a fool of yourself. That's was me for most of the day today. I was acting silly and played a joke on him, putting him in an uncomfortable position. I've apologized to him numerous times today, even after he has told me each time it was no big deal and to stop apologizing. And then the last time I said that I was sorry, he grabbed me, holding my face in his hands and said, "I love you, now stop apologizing, yes it was silly what you did, but it was funny, and that's one of the many many things I love about you." And then he gave me a wowzer of a kiss.
So, kind of a "What ruined your day", but topped off with a "What made your day".

Yesterday evening I was required to pick up my Peruvian’s sister, then my Peruvian followed by taking them to a woman’s apartment so she could ‘test drive’ her on doing makeup and hair for our wedding next month. I anticipated a truly long and miserable evening. It took nearly 2 hours of driving to do all that getting them there, but to my relief I wasn’t required to wait. So I found a Latin bar where I was served cervezas by some cute Latinas.
After two hours of makeup applications (and me imbibing cold beers), I expected my Peruvian to look like the clown from the movie It when I picked them up. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised at how natural she looked. She always had those Asiatic features many Latinas with native American heritage have, but with her made up like that, she absolutely looked Asian, a very hot Asian. Which had me intrigued. . . . . and aroused.

7 year olds birthday. :'(
I hate baby birthday parties. :facepalm:
I got her a Hamster, and a big elaborate cage I'll set up in her room later.
And I got her some new clothes she wanted. She's very into pink these days for some reason.
And since wifey's working her new job, I ordered a cake made for her that has to be delivered. It won't last long with all the kids and everyone who's coming to the party. And I'll spend a small fortune on pizza, because she loves pizza and we have it every year for her. Extra extra cheese and sauce for her.
I just hate them growing up so much. Why can't the stay 5 years old forever? :roll:

Have a great day.

Why didn't I go out and buy a mattress Thursday morning, though. Hmmm

My step daughter home from college. She stays with us. I'm excited she will be in our lives again this summer. I love that kiddo. She's really like a friend rather than the step mom/daughter relationship. It's going to be fun. She just went through a break up, so we just need to get over that hurdle.

I really like helping people deal with their feelings about something so simple, and normal as a breakup. You know, with all the sick shit I have to deal with as a therapist. I don't really get to deal with something so minor, with my specialty. It's all the sick shit, like child molestors, rape victims, and survivors of incest.
So, something so normal, and common as a teenage breakup is just so refreshing.

That's nice that you had a good time. Yay!
Your comment about leftovers made me think of something. We have Mark and myself, and the three girls. Do you know how many of us eat leftovers? Only 1 of us. Me! All of them have this thing about eating leftovers.
It probably goes back to my childhood. Back then, and today, I rarely finish my whole meal at the restaurant. They usually serve too much for me. When we go out to eat, I always have a couple of containers with me for my leftovers. (here is what I use) (https://www.smartplanethome.com/collections/cool-gifts/products/collapsible-meal-kit-set) For the sake of my Earth, there is no way I'm walking out with a styrofoam box.
I'm glad to see someone else that eats leftovers, MS. :)

Thanks Jules. As we get older both the wife and I find we just don't eat as much. I guess as we're not that active and our bodies are slowing down as we age, we seldom finish what we order. On top of that so many restaurants seem they need to pile on the food to make it look like you get your money's worth.
As for the take out containers, Styrofoam has been banned in Minneapolis and St. Paul. All take out containers must either be recyclable or compostable. We have to check the containers. Number six goes in the organic bag to be composted. All other plastic goes in recycle.
Where we used to have three or four bags of trash a week, we now only have one, occasionally two. Everything else goes in recycle or organics.
What's bad for the environment is three trucks going down the alley each week, four from spring to fall when they pick up yard waste too. And, how much energy is used to process all of that? We have a bunch of do gooders who don't really look at the whole picture.

Same at my house. Both my grandmothers survived the Great Depression, and food was not to be wasted. What started out as a roast on Sunday would be repurposed through the week, until it was hash or SOS by Friday. I cringe when I see my kids scraping food into the trash can.

I sort of paraphrase these concepts to argue for eating leftovers. I say there are too many starving people in the world to throw away perfectly good food. I consider it sinful, and routinely plan entire meals around using some item about to go bad. It’s often interpreted as me being cheap, but that’s not at all the driving force behind my discomfort with wasting food. I cringe in restaurants when I see other people’s tables cleared and perfectly good leftovers headed for the trash.
A wonderful weekend for me is to cook and prepare a dozens dishes, to then use in various combinations as leftovers throughout the week until completely gone. Question about Tuesday’s dinner: “Didn’t you make that chili Saturday?” “Yep, and not only is it better today than it was this weekend, it will be even better tomorrow when I use it for nachos.”

I like it. I'm gonna add pink to it. 8)
Purple. CJ is definitely a purple.
But hey, it's your hair, anybody that doesn't like it... too bad.

;D I went for pink. Everyone still hates it! ;D Except the 7.
And today was a huge day for the family. :D

A Mother's Day gift.
A coffee cup made in 4th grade art class. There are 7 different colors in it. It was hand formed into its shape (it sort of resembles a cylinder). I can't fit even one finger through the handle. I made a cup of coffee and it leaked on the counter.
Best Mother's Day present ever. Told her it was too beautiful to be used, it should be displayed on a shelf.
Also, I'm not on Facebook, but Dan showed me both of his daughters posts. They both mentioned me saying how lucky they were to have me come into their lives, and much more. I got teary eyed reading what they wrote. Such great kids. I love them both so much. Dan and his ex did a wonderful job raising them.

The kids cleaned their own rooms for me. Except the 7 just kinda shoved stuff under her bed. But it's the thought that counts. :D

Trip off to great start. Nearly 600 mile drive. Tomorrow hit the National Park. Went out to dinner. Whole town in Old West motif. The restaurant looked like a saloon complete with bar. I had to! Went to bar and in a fake cowboy accent said, Can I get a sarsaparilla barkeep?" She smiled and said, "Sure!" I gasped and said, "You really have sarsaparilla?" They did, and I got one, just like my cowboy heros when I was a kid.

My sisters wifey misplaced her wedding ring for about 5 minutes. She had a mini meltdown when she realized. My sister comforted her and promised they'd find it, and they did. She put it right back on and promised she'd be more careful.
I loved her explanation why she had a freak out.

First day in T.R.Nat. Park a thrill. The rugged hills and cliffs of the Badlands are fantastic! All the color of the various layers is a sight. Big problem is picking which shot to take. Any where we looked was a great picture. Lots of Bison, naturally. Was taking pics with two others of a small herd from a parking area. Next thing we knew the big shaggy beasts were moving into the lot with us. We all got back in our cars and soon the Bison were all around us. Got some good close ups...from the car!!!

The musical Waitress is in Detroit playing at the Fisher Theater.
It was one on our season subscription shows that I was least excited about. I hadn't seen it before. I didn't even read up on it before going, so I had no idea of the plot. The only think I did know going in was that the music and lyrics was by Sara Bareilles.
I'm always amazed at the stage settings and how quickly they can change them. Nothing elaborate like Wicked or Newsboys. It just felt like I was right there in the diner with them. It's so cool.
I really enjoyed the entire production. It was a fun night out with plenty of laughs. And I am craving Pie this morning.

Was planning TR NP as a trip recently along with the Missouri Breaks NM and Glacier NP in Montana. There’s a mountain range south of Glacier called the Chinese Wall I wanted to hike (see below).
(https://i.imgur.com/aGdhuy6.jpg)
The trip sort of got postponed after I met my Peruvian. She and I will do it together, just might be a a couple years away.
I was recently in the Badlands of SD, love that place. As a kid, no bison. In 2016, I was threading my truck through a herd of bison to get to camp.
Later this year we’re going to Acadia NP in Maine for about 8 days. I’ve been there 4 times, the last time about 20 years ago.

My 7 year old hugging me and saying "I'm so happy to be alive!"
And there are women on Twitter bitching about how they need the right to abortions. If the woman who made her had one, I'd have never gotten that hug. I'd have never gotten any hugs. And I wouldn't be watching a 3 year old Latina play with my 7 year olds cat right now either. And I wouldn't have to change a diaper pretty soon.
They are proof why we don't need abortion, just common fuckin' sense.

Okay? Anectdotal. First of all, women Have the right, now. Men are trying to take that right, but in cases where the mother (And probably child) may die, or the pregancy was forced on the woman (Or little girl) against her will, there's a high risk of birth defects, (because of incest, or multiple pregnancies caused by fertility drugs)... Some women Need abortions.
It's hard to see that looking at an Adorable child. However, 1 child does not Trump the needs for every other woman. You don't need a plane ticket to Singapore right now, but I bet you some woman, somewhere does, and one day, you might need one, too.
I'm against men taking any right from women, or forcing sex on them, for that matter. If a man forces sex, and then the men in power force her to have that child, that just makes the rapist's invasion of her body last 3/4 of a year longer. That's why I support the Right to continue. Because some women need to exercise that right, and men are trying to take that from them.
So I have to type it again, but the short SHORT version.
I meant women and men who don't use protection and can't control themselves.
I'm not debating anything else.

Ever since we got to our honeymoon cabin a male cardinal has been attacking his reflection in the same window. He just won’t give up trying to chase that ‘other’ damn bird away from his territory. It’s both funny and a little sad.
Several years back the same thing happened at my bedroom window, except it was a male grosbeak. Every damn morning when I could still sleep an hour or two more prior to work, that grosbeak was my way too early alarm. It went on for about 2 months.
On another topic, I’m really glad I bought my Peruvian that lime green string bikini. It was like unwrapping the best gift ever in the hot tub last night. I tried to tell her, but she had to find out on her own. Hot tub water isn’t as slippery as it seems and does not make for particularly good lube. We had better luck in the bed.

DUCKLING RESCUE
Wife and I were out and about and stopped for a stop sign. A large city truck from the sewer dept. pulled around the corner and stopped, partially blocking the street. As I went past, I saw a female duck near the truck and she didn't fly away. I'd gone two blocks when I realized that maybe her "babies" had gone thru the sewer grate. Turned around and went back. The two guys from the truck were just climbing out of the storm sewer with handfuls of ducklings. All were returned to mamma and the all waddled away down the sidewalk.

After being with Dan for 2 years, he still surprises me at times.
We went on a 5 mile run. We were walking the last 1/2 mile to cool down. Some girls were in a neighboring yard, we found out they were practicing stunting for their cheer leading squad. So, Dan sees one of the girls attempting a back flip. She landed on the tips of her toes and then falls to her hands and knees. Dan suggests she try to tuck her knees a little tighter to her chest. The girls all spin and look at this stranger talking to them. Because I'm there, it put them at ease. Plus one of the girls parents was sitting on the front porch. Dan repeats what he said and then said, "Watch me." And he turns to the side for the girls to watch. "Watch my knees, go to my chest." I say, "You're not seriously going to do this." The girls all look at me because of my speech. "Girls," Dan says, "Watch my arms hold my knees tight to my chest. Eyes on me." And he jumps up in the air and flips over backward and lands on his feet. Why did I not know he could do this? I'm looking at him. The girls are looking at him. The mom on the porch says, "Well I'm impressed." Dan asks mom if he can spot one of the girls and have her try again. Mom says sure. Dan steps up to the girl and stands beside her and tells her to try it. 4 more attempts and a few corrections and the girl did a back flip on her own.
And we continued our walk home and I asked how he did that. He said he has been able to do it for 30 years. I just thought it was cool. I can't even do a cart wheel anymore.

I am truly blessed in my life. I was able to experience Eastern European culture (specifically Polish) and now Latin American culture (specifically Peruvian). I took my Peruvian, her mom and her cute niece to a Peruvian food festival yesterday and had a blast eating, drinking, listening to music and dancing. Peruvian girls are so hot (must be why I married one), so the scenery was very nice (Imagine what hot Latin girls wear when it’s 85F).
We were running late in the morning, so while listening to my Peruvian in the shower and thinking she was taking a while and using up all the hot water, I decided to join her. I stepped into the shower while she was shampooing her head. She wasn’t under the flow, so I ducked my head under the water and grabbed the soap. We didn’t really have time to be frisky, and her mom was in the other room, so I behaved myself (with difficulty). She was shampooing her head so vigorously as if a flock of seagulls had just crapped on it. I was nearly done by the time she was finally rinsing her hair. Abruptly she opened her eyes, and then screamed, followed by punching me in the chest?
Then we have this conversation where I explain, ‘I’ve been in the shower with you for at least 10 minutes. How could you not know I was here? This is not a big shower!’
Next time I’ll know better about behaving myself and grab some of my favorite parts of her to let her know I’m there.

Funny things CJs kids say or do: Episode #2.
Wifey's daughter: Some times I think my mom likes you more than me.
Me: That couldn't be less true, baby.
Wifey's daughter: Then why does she always make you hold her hand? She doesn't do that with me.
Me: Because (shows her the wedding ring) This means I'm her property. She's just making sure her investment is ok.
Wifey's daughter: So, she treats you like property?
Me: Yes.
Wifey' daughter holds my hand.
Wifey's daughter: Hostile takeover.

1. WBL stopping into say hello.
And 2......
I passed on my workout and went golfing with Dan. We walked the course for the exercise. We were as far from the clubhouse as we possibly could have been, and it rained harder then anything I have been caught in in over 20 years. No umbrella. I refused to stand under a tree because of lightning and thunder. We just walked down the fairway back to the clubhouse. We were completely soaked.
So what made my day in all that? I almost got a hole in one. It was a par 3 and it rolled to within 12 inches. Then I missed the putt. :( But it was Dan's excitement when he could see it rolling toward the pin. He was screaming like crazy for it to get in the hole. He was so excited. And it really made me feel super good he was rooting for me like that. Then he grabbed me and hugged and picked me up yelling what a good shot I made. He was so excited for me.
I am so jumping him in bed tonight.

We’ll be here to read the ‘Confession’ thread when you spill about how you didn’t last 2 weeks.
My mouth is "magic" after all. Never a complaint or a drop spilled. ;D
I guess the only good thing is I'll be too busy with a five year old to worry about getting laid. She and I are gonna have a great time. She's excited, I'm excited. Junk food and fun, we've agreed to accomplish nothing but "bonding" time together. :D
Still though. Two whole weeks. :roll: Believe it or not I've done longer. And hopefully by then both wifey's will be super horny too. ;D

I’ve been thinking about my friend Mel lately and realized it’s been 4 years since she passed away from breast cancer; it was June of 2015, and she was only 28. She was a member on RU, and also a friend of the departed and infamous zokah.
Like several girls I’ve known that experienced rape and/or abuse in their younger years, Mel sought affection and love from other women, but dwelt enough on her past that her fantasies frequently involved men, and men that weren’t gentle. I told Mel, and she confirmed I was correct, her ideal life would be to have a loving woman as life partner, but at least once a month get roughly fucked by a man. And if you wanted to get Mel’s motor running, all you had to do was mention she needed a good spanking.
Unsurprisingly, Chirp has reminded me of Mel, especially in this thread.
Any time I think of Mel, it truly makes my day. She was such a sweet girl.

Primary doctor went ballistic when she finally read my last blood work. I'd seen it a week earlier, and KNEW she was gonna have kittens over the cholesterol levels. She did. :D
You guys get your energy from sugars, or starches that quickly convert to sugars. That's fine. I'm on an utterly different high-fat, low-carb diet, and I run on fats instead. Both work: both are converted to ATP (the chemical you use for 'energy'). One of the side effects of my diet is elevated cholesterol and elevated BUN. Not a problem, as my diet is also anti-inflammatory and high in anti-oxidants. Cholesterol doesn't cause atherosclerosis, inflammation and oxidation do. Plaque is the body's response to inflammation or oxidants; it can't tell that you're not in distress, so it deposits cholesterol inside the veins Just In Case.
I just had a VERY high resolution scan of the heart weeks ago, arteries thereof, and the carotids. Zero plaque, even with total cholesterol of 284 and LDL of 215. I'm proof that cholesterol doesn't cause plaque. I tweaking my diet a little to reduce those numbers, but I'm not overly concerned about them.

I burn Protein. I have to be on a high protein diet, or I get light headded, but a beef stick usually does the ticket. I can't do legume (Including Soy) protien either, or I vomit acid, then get dry heaves until my ribs cramp. It would be nice if i could just carry most of the Protein bars on the market, but Soy is cheap. Arguably the cheapest protein.
I have no idea what my Cholesterol is like, from years of illegal status. (Couldn't even Vote.) The first question I get is "Do you have insurance?" I can't even get diagnosed, much less routine checkups, or blood work.

So I have been staging all day, one room at a time. “Move all that shit to this side of the room.” Surprised how nice everything looks without assorted magazines, charging equipment, papers, and glasses on the tables. Laundry baskets in the closets. I even cleared and polished the dining room table that serves as my home office. I should do this more often. LOL.

Just me and a 5 year old girl. Even the sevens cat got to go. The dog too.
It's so... quiet. But we're gonna have a great time together. My little brother and his mom are coming to dinner. My neighbor and "our" daughter are coming too. ;D So it won't be quiet for long. Gonna grill on the backyard patio and let the kids play in the pool.
But I already miss all of them. :facepalm:

Today we spent the day at the park. Beautiful weather, not hot at all and a nice cool breeze. Some dude was playing guitar and kinda filling the place with a nice vibe. Then I took the kid to lunch and we just talked and talked. We had a great day together. :D
We had a great night last night too with extended family. Looking forward to eating pizza and watching a movie together tonight. :D

As I was posting in another topic, I got a text from Dan
Guess who's going to see Bob Seger tomorrow night? Me.
My favorite song for many reasons.....
Why is the lyrics....... "With points all her own, sitting way up high" "Way up firm and high." .....one of my favorite lines?
I don't know if I've mentioned this, I've met him a couple of times. I love Bob!!!
I'm so flippin happy right now. EEK

Post by: _priapism on June 11, 2019, 07:51:32 PM
Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then...
Best. Line. Ever.
Seger said of this song: "My old friend Glenn Frey of the Eagles had an idea that our guitarist Drew Abbott should play along with the piano solo. He and I then went out and did the background vocals together. The line 'Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then' bothered me for the longest time, but everyone I knew loved it so I left it in. It has since appeared in several hits by other artists, so I guess it's OK."
Seger later clarified: "The only thing that bothered me about that phrase was the grammar. It sounded grammatically funny to me. I kept asking myself, 'Is that correct grammar?' I liked the line, and everybody I played it for – like Glenn and Don (Henley) – were saying, 'That's the best line in the song,' but I couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't right. But I slowly came around. You have to understand that songwriters can't punctuate anything they write. I work in such a narrow medium that I tend to second-guess things like that. As a matter of fact, I've seen that line in a few other songs since I came up with it, so I guess it was okay after all."
Seger won the 1980 Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal Grammy award for this song.
The Highwaymen, a country supergroup consisting of Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, remade this song for their debut album.

Sorry, CG, I do know what Goonies was. Born in 1974, I remember it well. I was a little tipsy last night and was going to try and make a joke. And hit submit when I decided I wasn't going to.
What made my day. Celebrating today with two of the best dad's I know. Having the our three daughters home, along with my father and his girlfriend over. Just all of us together is special.
Now if the rain would just please stop. Not looking good for the Detroit area. :( So no time hanging out around the pool it appears. Instead inside playing games while the boys have the US Open on. Yay, watching golf. That's fun. ;)

Enjoying seeing the world again, seemingly for the first time, through the eyes of a child. We agreed to be foster parents this summer. I am amazed that we are getting far more out of it than our ward. Everyone is the house is cheerful, empathic, helpful, and loving. I am utterly amazed.

My Peruvian would love that, and I got no objections. She’s more used to taking care of the really little ones though.
Maybe next year.
She would like to adopt, but I think I’m too old. 57-58 is not when I’d want to begin learning parenting.

I am basically your age Jed, and after a couple of miscarriages, have resigned myself to the fact that a baby is something I’m not likely to give my wife, without help from an expensive en vitro procedure(s) that runs $15,000 an attempt.
So we are doing foster care this summer. Our child is not adoption eligible, and is underweight, developmentally delayed, and lives in an FSU barrack style orphanage that sounds truly horrible. We are loving every minute. Feeding him. Taking him shopping. Watching him play. It’s an amazing blessing. One we will definitely do again.

Seeing my grandson driving my car. He only got up to 20mph and we didn't leave the CC parking lot, but you gotta start somewhere.
We had trouble adjusting the seat for his shorter legs. I forgot the drivers side is electric instead of manual. As a result, he never did put his seat-belt on. :facepalm:
My fault as the teacher and adult. We agreed that it would be our little secret that the first time he drove a car it was without being belted in properly.

What made my day....
Taking next week off. The 5 of us and my daddy and his girlfriend are spending the next week in NC. There has been an update to the trip........my wonderful man just informed me this morning that he and I will be leaving a day earlier. The oldest is driving the rest of them the next day. Why? Because on our drive there, Dan and I are jumping off I-75 to do a few bourbon distillery tours, spending the night in Lexington and finishing the trip the following day. He's such a sweetheart. I've been talking about wanting to do one for the last year, and he scheduled 4 in one day. Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Town Branch, Four Roses. I'm so excited.

Blanton's, Eagle Rare, Weller, The Colonel are when I want to splurge. With the shortages of each, I've stocked up on Blanton's. I have 9 bottles hidden away. If I see it on the shelf I'll buy it at the proper price. Too many retailers in our area are marking it up though.
Buffalo Trace is one that I drink quite often. It's very good.
Blanton's and Woodford tours is what I'm most excited about.

I have a very poor sense of smell - somehow it was always my turn when the nappies were more than damp...
(On the plus side, my changing technique got very complementary comments from the midwife.)
I changed diapers exactly 0 times in my life.
Yay me!
I did have to clean poop off a chair before though. It was fabric. I carried the cushion outside and started hosing it off. Then I realized it was never going back in my house. I put it in the garbage can. On the night before garbage day I dragged the chair out of the garage to the curb. When I left for work the next morning, the chair was gone. I looked in the garbage can and the cushion was gone. I wonder how far down the road they discovered why it was being disposed of.

I can do the whole process so fast now I'd win any diaper changing competition there is. And if there are those, then... the fuck? That's gross. Stop that. :roll:
But as for what made my day, I officially cut off financial support of my sister and her wifey, and unfortunately their daughter. They wanna move to New York and take the kid away from her family, they can do it without my money.
Besides, I have enough children to take care of, and they're adults about to start careers. They don't need my help anymore.
CJ took a stand. They'll be fine. My sisters mom will just have to take over for me and spend more.

I'd need at least a $60K job to be able to live in New York - anything else and you're stuck in the slum neighborhoods. A quick look at apartment prices shows everything from $1800 to around $4500 per month for a decent apartment. Buying some place? Forget it! No way in hell can most people afford that.

Don't look at me, it's not my problem. If it works out they can probably afford it.
But it's their business, not mine. CJ's washed her hands of it. They're adults. Of course if they stayed here, they'd have all the family and babysitters they'd ever need. But apparently they don't give a fuck about that. :roll:

Laughing at the absurdity of my life. :emot_laughing:
I'm simultaneously downloading porn of a petite gal from 5 years ago (Halle Von) while designing a state-of-the-art particle detector / air quality sensor that's WiFi linked. Nothing exists like it yet; the cheap stuff just has a small color display, so you have to go LOOK at it. With WiFi you can monitor it from a distance, which we need for my application. It'll measure teensy particles in the air in a number of size ranges, temperature, humidity, air pressure, and volatile organic content (stuff like alcohol and acetone fumes). We'll have probably 4 of them scattered in different areas of the room we want to monitor. I can build it for less than the other thing below.

Going through my twitter, talking to friends making sure everyone's coming for our BBQ pool party tomorrow when I see they're making a live action Ariel movie. Wifey took one look at it and said "It's Disney, she'll be black and all the black people talking about it will act like it's the best thing ever and like they've accomplished something greater than landing on the moon." Sure enough they cast a black girl as Ariel. She despises Disney for destroying star wars anyway. Personally I love them for it, she's promised there will be no trip to see the new one coming out this year. ;D
Wifey and her inherited racism. :emot_shrug:

Mmmmm, sounds like a Texan.
I turn the thermostat to 65 and sometimes 60 at night. I would not get any sleep otherwise. For my Peruvian, hot flashes are keeping her warm at night. During the day 70, if not home, maybe 75.
But I get the frustration, if my Peruvian thinks it feels cold in the summer morning, instead of just raising the thermostat, she switches it to heat. Later when it’s sweltering around 85, I’m convinced the AC has died until I realize what she’s done and begin cursing.

Turned the AC down in the hotel room last night and immediately after heard a periodic low beep. I couldn’t figure out why the AC was beeping and it bothered me all night. Today my Peruvian said she thought it was the smoke alarm and not the AC. So I called maintenance, and the guy came up saying the smoke alarm is hard wired , so no battery and no beep. Then he opened the dishwasher and canceled the ‘done’ beep. We never used the fucking dishwasher?
He said it happens all the time.

My teen does this also. I think I am going to buy one of those lock boxes for the thermostat. I will pay for itself in less than a month.

Yesterday I got to be up close and personal with a B - 17, the WW2 bomber that was dubbed the Flying Fortress. Bristling with twin 50 caliber guns and equipped with the super secret Norden bombsight, these planes carried bombs deep into Germany.
I read a book on this plane many years ago and am still amazed at how tough this bird was. There are many stories of the planes being shot up, even one with the vertical tail section missing, and still making it back to England with it's crew. Many did crash too and I was told yesterday the the 8th Air Corps suffered more casualties than the Army troops on the ground.
I got to see several take offs and landings, as they were giving people rides at $450 a pop. To rich for my blood, but I did get a look inside the plane. That's a story all in its self...this old man trying to climb through very tight places with a camera around my neck.
This plane came off the assembly line just after the war in Europe ended, so never saw combat action. Somehow it was saved from the scrape heap, where most WW 2 planes ended up. It's one of only ten B - 17s still flying. (https://i.imgur.com/qUY9Ntb.jpg)

My son’s great-grandfather was a bomber on a B-17 over Europe. In a single 376 plane raid in August 1943, 60 B-17s were shot down. That was a 16 percent loss rate and meant 600 empty bunks in England. In 1942-43, it was determined to be statistically impossible for bomber crews to complete a 25-mission tour in Europe.

I had complained here before about a counselor at my son’s high school. There had long been suspicions that the school counselor was manipulating grades to help her daughter and members of the school girls’ volleyball team. She was fired last year.
The school looked into complaints about grade irregularities and found she was using an algorithm that was not district approved. When they recalculated grades, the woman’s daughter dropped from #1 to #4 in class rank. My son rose from #9 to #7. His friend will be valedictorian. He’s very happy about this. So am I. I did not like the counselor, or her daughter, whom my son defeated in several school elections.
In Texas, the top 6% of each public school’s class qualifies for automatic admission to the University of Texas at Austin, and the top 10% qualifies for automatic admission at any other state university. So it’s a big deal for these kids. Shame on any parent rigging the system to help their child.

Yeah, any time a student goes to the same school where a parent is on the faculty (Okay, maybe not the Janitor, or lunch lady, but anyone with access to files, and grades) I would think that close oversight would be in order. It doesn't take an Ethics Professor to see the possibilities for Nepotism there, but I had no idea that School Councilors were able to change grades like that, even in Texas Public Schools.
Then again, we have a president who's Daughter/First lady is basically in his cabinet, so the standards for Ethics have gone down across the board. And, it's DoEd, which has traditionally been raided like a petty cash fund from the ISD all the way to the cabinet since I left Texas Public Schools in Jr. High. (Dobie, in Austin.)

In another, a favourite colleague made a surprise return from an unplanned break that I thought was going to become permanent.

Dan and I are jumping off I-75 to do a few bourbon distillery tours, spending the night in Lexington and finishing the trip the following day. He's such a sweetheart. I've been talking about wanting to do one for the last year, and he scheduled 4 in one day. Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Town Branch, Four Roses. I'm so excited.
We did the distilleries of Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve. We spent too much time at both to fit the other ones in.
The sad thing was, I couldn't buy any Blanton's at Buffalo Trace. The gift store had sold out. They are limited to how much they could sell. The Kentucky Liqour Distribution Control dictates how much they can sell. If we had only went to Buffalo Trace first instead of Woodford. I did get a bottle of Colonel Taylor though. And a 1500ml bottle of Woodford, which I drank during the trip. yum
So, here I am looking at 5 pallets with 120 cases containing 6 bottles each (3600 bottles in total), and I can't buy one single bottle. :(
I did LOVE the tours though.
Pictures from the Blantons Bottling Hall below. (click to enlarge) I was standing next to this guy that loves it more than me. He buys every bottle whenever he finds it. He has over 100 bottles and lives about 20 miles from us. Dan was chatting with him. We're going to get together with them sometime soon. When we do, he promised me a glass of Blantons Gold, which is a unicorn. I've never seen it, ever. He and his wife were super nice, and they had a cute little dog that I even risked petting (even with my pet dander allergy). He was just so cute (the dog, not the guy).

I’m all out of bourbon for over a week now. :'(
I still got a bunch of hard liquor left from the wedding, mostly vodka and tequila at this point, so it’s hard to justify buying any more short term. I did run out of red wine so bought a case yesterday. I ran out of beer last week, so bought some last week.

My older son is a bit of an alcoholic, and will drink all of dad’s beer and booze after he goes to bed. Every last drop. We’ve talked about it a dozen times, so I have taken to locking my hooch in the trunk of the car. I don’t mind mixing a drink in the driveway, but these hot Texas summers have got to be working hell on my bourbon. I’ve thought about buying a gun safe for my bar, but knowing my kid, he’ll take a Fun Ed course in blow torchery.

Telling my family I hate how my life turned out. My therapist said it was important I do it. Told wifey I never wanted to get married and I resented her for leaving me for Japan, which contributed to my drug addiction. Then she came back with a kid and expected everything to be as if nothing happened. I told my mom's I love them, but hate them for what they did to me when I was a kid. And I told them how my father did far worse to me every single time they let him take me. I basically spilled my guts. It was time. I feel better. I even told my sister I hated that she married a hot gay British girl, she was boy crazy for a while. I hoped she wouldn't end up like the rest of us.
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.
The only person to escape my wrath was Lauren, my hot blonde disabled wifey #2. Who could get promoted if I end up divorced. ;D

I love how positive you keep the vast majority of your posts, despite the horrors you barely hint at. For the most part, you manage to keep things optimistic, funny, and hopeful. However, you can only bottle such things up for so long. Thank you for letting a little out. It has to be done from time to time, but don't let it ruin your positive outlook.
Kvetching all the time can let you lose sight of what you Love about your life. I hope you never lose that fight.

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.

We have an employee here that has a similar situation. Except her sister is hooked on pain killers. She hates that Betty associates with people she doesn't like. But she speaks poorly about everyone!
I feel so sorry for Betty sometimes having to deal with that whack-job and appease her.

No alcohol was safe when I was married before. I used to hide the good stuff so she wouldn’t drink it up. If it was a $75 bottle of wine I was saving for a special occasion, she’d open it, drink half a glass, then pass out, sometimes spilling the rest. Usually with a lite cigarette in her hand burning the couch. That’s one thing I don’t miss.

A funny thing about most safes is they're not designed to be impossible to break into. That's impossible, give someone long enough, with the right tools, and they can get in eventually.
They're designed to make it extremely difficult to get in, without damaging the valuables you're trying to get. Of course you could just blow the doors off with a stick of dynamite, or a syringe of Nitroglycerine, but glass bottles, full of 40% ethanol by volume? Even the blow-torch doesn't sound like a very good idea, unless the plan is to start a fire, instead of just getting drunk.

I was joking, but the thing is, I’ve tried hiding the booze in some very imaginative places... cabinets, air vents, inside other bottles, under the vegetables, on top of furniture, backs of drawers, under dirty clothes in my closet... it’s like the kid is a bloodhound for booze. Completely ruins my enjoyment when the beer is warm and I’m looking over my shoulder to mix a drink.
My son is high functioning ASD. It’s not entirely his fault. But it is a little his fault. I would just give up booze, but hey, that’s crazy talk.

I'm assuming this is still a joke, so I'll keep playing along...
Don't tell him that! I'd rather find the bottle a little lower than my single malt watered down. IDK how old he is, but watering down whiskey? Yep, that's a paddlin'.

Kevin had info in his safe. I didn't go into it until I was provided the combination in January when I received a bunch of paperwork from his brother who was also his financial advisor.
Inside was a thumbdrive that had a bunch of information. One bit of information is that in the downstairs bar, the kickplates come off. Dan and I went down and easily removed them, held on by a small clip at each leg.
We found a rather large coin collection that I never knew was a hobby of his. All of it in ziplock bags in case of water coming in the basement. Also were about 40 bottles of bourbon, yay. And lo and behold....I know that Toe knows what this means.... some Pappy Van Winkle. There was maybe 3 shots left in it. It remains still today, untouched by me. He wasn't hiding the booze (well maybe the Pappy's), but was storing it because his four cabinets designated for booze were filled and he ran out of room to put it.

My grandfather would mark the bottle, except he of course never remembered to do that while drinking, so it was the next day. I stole an inch or so that night before he marked the bottle. I knew my grandfather would instantly detect watered down booze.
He drank scotch in the winter and gin in the summer. Because the first few times I got sick were from scotch and gin (a few times mixed together which I do not recommend as a cocktail), I couldn’t drink either scotch or gin until very recently. The smell of either would make me nauseous.

My grandfather was the same. My grandmother preferred bourbon. So I am a combination of the two. Bourbon or Scotch in the winter. Bourbon or gin in the summer. Never at the same time mind you...
Once I was on vacation with my father. My brothers and I raided the mini bar in our room, and drank everything alcoholic in it.
The next morning we were in a panic, because dad was going to throw a fit over a $500 minibar bill. Thinking quickly, we refilled every small bottle with water or tea and carefully arranged them. We held our breath as dad reviewed the bill at checkout, but there were no minibar charges on the bill. 30 years later, we still laugh about that one.

TWO idiots that both waited until too late to lane change to get their freeway exit nearly collided. Both should have been in the center (of 5 lanes) at least 1/4 mile earlier, but they couldn't be bothered to signal OR lane change in time, so they nearly collided as they both shot across traffic for that middle (either freeway) lane. They both rebounded at 70MPH and utterly missed the exit they were shooting for, ending back in the lanes they'd been in on the wrong exit. Oops. :emot_laughing: I doubt they learned anything from the incident. Dallas drivers <pulls hair out>

LOL - no need to apologise for telling the truth - convential cricket matches are boring to watch - the limited overs (usually 50 per team) matches are the way to go as far as I'm concerned - much quicker, faster paced and generally (as long as you're into cricket) much more exciting.

The mods have been discussing the OP and the question therein. The truth is that the mods had forgotten this rule and so it has not been enforced.
We have decided to change this. Extreme pedophilia is anything where the subjects are prepubescent, or not sexually mature. Since the average age of female sexual maturity is 13, that is now the lower limit. No stories with subjects under age 13!
If you currently have stories with subjects under age 13, you have 30 days to modify or remove your stories on your own. After 30 days the mods will start deleting them.

I drove all over Chicagoland and the Midwest for work for 20+ years. When I first got to AZ I was stunned how much worse the drivers are out here. They literally have PSAs on the radio about how to handle wrong-way drivers on the freeway. One theory is all the transplants out here aren't used to how everyone else drives, so it's a giant hodge-podge. My own personal theory is that since we rarely get adverse driving conditions -rain or snow- they never have to drive carefully. Until next year, there's no statewide driving while using a cellphone law.

I have a friend who I went to grammar school with, who definitely has a fireman fetish, based on the number of hot fireman photos she posts. I’d love to see her getting gang banged at the local firehouse. I bet she’d be a real animal with the proper encouragement.

Finally got the laser-scattering particle detector (dust sensor) this last week and hooked it up. Spent a few hours today debugging code to get it to turn on, cough up it's data, upload that to a web logger, then go to sleep for 15 minutes (repeat). Now I need to flesh that out a bit more. The temp/pressure/humidity sensors are across town headed my way (plane came in today), so I'll add that in next week. The last piece is the display, and they haven't left Shenzen yet, even though they were ordered the same time as the rest of the stuff but from different vendors in China.
Wow, the dust sensor is TINY. It's a quarter the size of the DISPLAY on the big box I'm replacing.
Yep, size matters!. :emot_laughing: Bigger isn't always better. $15 for the sensor, $4 for the micro, $5 for the temp/pressure/humidity sensor, and $6 for the display to replace a >$3000 piece of gear. Mine won't have a heavy cast aluminum chassis, but that's OK. If they drop it and break it, it only costs $32 to replace it.

Speaking of Latinas, I just saw Peruvian American actress Isabela Moner from the movie Sicario: Day of the Soldado turned 18 a couple weeks ago. Maybe now I can finally not feel guilty perving on her. I first heard of her about 6 months ago and winced when I looked up her age.

Fantasy. See, the thing is, you are never going to be in the same Building as her, much less bend the Age of Consent laws. At most, it limits how current the picture has to be, for you to post them here.
Now, if you'd actually fucked her, like 6 months ago, then. Yeah, you coudn't admit to that, publicly, here.
but I don't want to fuck her. I just watched the hell out of The Spy who Dumped me, and realized that she is me. If I was in that movie, I would cast her, to play my part. Right down to hanging out with (And not fucking) Mila Kunis.
Also, she is very very gay. So, probably not gonna happen, even if we ever end up in the same building.

That's around average in the states, yeah. I'm just saying Celebrities I want to Fuck is intrinsically fantastic. Okay, she's gay, never going to happen anyway. When you act on that impulse, like stalking or whatever, that's when it's pushing past Fantasy.
However, "I thought she was 18" is one of those excuses graduated to cliche'.

In the UK, the age of consent is 16 (now 18 if you have control or power over them [eg teacher, policeman]). A couple of tabloids regularly featured topless photos of of 16 year old girls, and one featured a daily count-down to the date when it would become legal to fancy Emma Watson ("Hermione Granger").

I don’t really do Starbucks. It’s too complicated.
But then I only drink coffee at work and sometimes at home. On rare occasions I get coffee out because I’m tired. The last time was just before a concert in a Marriott Hotel (it was across from the concert venue). The guy said the pot was old, told him I didn’t care.

I am an insufferable coffee snob. I drink soda for a caffeine fix, I drink coffee to enjoy it. Some people it's beer, wine, or spirits, IDFK, but I pretty much have to make the coffee to enjoy it, I'm that anal. Fortunately, John (My, landlord? There's not really an existing term for our relationship) loves my coffee, and only drinks a cup.
I hate Starbucks because of their corporate practices, but I'm not going to ruin your day by going off on a woke SJW anti-consumerism local economic dissertation. Suffice it to say, they're systematically destroying the small businesses the move in specifically to undercut the price on, and remove the "Competition." So, all the money that could be circulating in every neighborhood of every town goes to Seattle, where they seem to need it more.
They are the 1%. I don't pay welfare to the 1%. I'll spend 5 times as much to give my money to someone who lives here, and can shake my hand, with the caveat that it's all imported, and the coffee industry is bad fro places like Brazil, and Sumatra, where it will actually grow in bulk.

I've got a bunch of reasons to be happy today;

> My youngest also got a new (extra) job, as one of these...
(https://i.imgur.com/fLbyaWo.png) (That's not the actual company)
He talked the boss into paying him $25 an hour (my first proper job was $3 an hour!), plus travel and accommodation if the gig is any great distance, and he'll be getting an MI5 security check soon, as the company does parties for the royal family...
> One of my eldest son's friends recently came out. It's her birthday today, so they've changed the party venue: they're all going to the local Pride event, and then hitting the gay clubs for the night (one is holding a 4 'til 4 glitter party!), and they've booked rooms close by to collapse into at silly o'clock tomorrow morning.

Finally got the dust sensor / Air Quality Indicator (AQI) up, fleshed-out and mostly running as of an hour ago. It's happily logging my indoor conditions to a web server.
edit, nextt day: Although frustrating at times, weeding out the bugs in someone else's code is occasionally fun. :roll: I think I just found the last bug. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
The only gotcha: fuckin' China! The dust sensor is exactly what I'd ordered, so I lucked out. The Bosch combination temperature / humidity / air pressure sensors I'd ordered weren't what was described. I ordered the more expensive version with humidity sensing, and got the cheaper modules WITHOUT the humidity sensing, so indoor humidity is showing 0% on the charts. I complained to eBay and got the charges reversed on the sale, and don't even have to send the boards back. Hell, return shipping would cost more than the damned things are worth in the first place. I have another order inbound from a different vendor in China, and they swear that the modules have the specific Bosch sensor that I want. I'll know if this next batch of boards is OK in a couple of weeks.
Amusing side-note: it takes my 3M 'Advanced Allergen' Filtrete 1500 air filter > 60 minutes to remove the majority of smoke particles from the air after I've lit up a cigarette. I run the blower fan on the air handler all the time when I'm at home, and let it cycle when I'm gone. I can see dust/particle spikes from this evening every time I lit up a cig. ;D My house air got down to the equivalent of a class 10,000 cleanroom overnight until I got up and started moving around (throwing off dead skin cells, stirring up dust, and smoking...)

So I designed my own t-shirt. Not sure if they’ll let me wear it at the school... :emot_laughing:

"She's complaining constantly. She thinks the food is gross. She misses you. And she says everyone here is weird and she has no idea what anyone is saying. These are her people and she's acting like they're from another planet."
:emot_laughing:
Having been married twice to foreign nationals, I will say mine have typically complained incessantly about America, the food, the people, the politics... When I inquired, “If you hate it here so much, why don’t you just go back? You seem to like everything in your birth country better...”
“THAT’S CRAZY TALK.” :emot_laughing:

Her daughter actually was born in Japan. Wifey was born here. Which technically makes her daughter more Japanese than her. Except she really doesn't like it while her mom thinks Japan is the best place ever to exist. :roll:

Fluids are vital to heat regulation, not just in sweat, but peeing also carries heat out of the body. (That may be part of the reason why we shiver when we urinate, among others.)

She doesn't work there anymore. But I still see her at her new job. ;D
Let's just say we're still very good friends. ;D And CJ misbehaves. :roll:
But my day maker today was hearing Lauren, AKA wifey #2 tell the seven she couldn't live without me.
Here's a secret: she wanted to commit suicide after she was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. I begged her not to, we talked about how I had not only wanted to but tried. I think we both kept each other alive. At one point we actually discussed doing it together. :facepalm: but we didn't and we're here together and I love her and will be here for her no matter what. Even to help her for 2 in the morning pee needs. ;D
I wish I'd married her instead. And yes I feel bad for thinking that. :facepalm:

Wifey and her daughter are home. :D
Her kid murdered leftover homemade pizza. Restated her dislike of Japanese food. Apparently wifey wanted her to try their peoples food and it didn't quite workout.
It's odd. She actually was born in Japan, her mom is 100% American born. She does not like Japan at all, her mother thinks it's the best thing ever.
Oh well. Glad to have them home. Especially the kid. She wouldn't let go of me for like 10 minutes. 9 year old girls are too heavy for me to carry around. :D

That's a little scary. You get so used to the old one, but here you start on a new one, not knowing if it will be too firm, too soft, or whatever.
I go to hotels and I always wake up the next morning aching. Usually because of the mattress, though when I laid down on it the night before it seemed fine.
I hope it was wonderful. Such an investment that you're going to be using for many years to come.

Our adult children...
"There's yer problem!" I got a new one last year, and it's one of those foam blocks. I have broad shoulders (For a guyl) so the hip is one of the most critical parts. Too soft makes my waist hang between my shoulder, and hip. Too hard just makes my hip ache, so I keep waking up to switch over.
The old style coiled spring, and quilted bat ones just don't hold up very well, even if you do flip, and turn them regularly. Eventually, you'll get hills, and valleys, which conform to your body, but don't really support them very well.
shit, sorry. I'm doing it again, aren't I?

The cats and I got up close and personal with a Peregrine Falcon yesterday.
I was outside with both kitties just before lunch yesterday. Our neighbor has a couple of large hosta plants and some other viney thing that I have to cut back to clear the sidewalk a few times every summer. There's a lot of mice in the this mass of greenery and the cats spend lots of time watching and hoping to pounce.
The boy was up on the front step with me, while the girl cat was intently staring into the growth. All of a sudden, a large bird swooped in front of me and crashed into the plantings, disappearing into the greenery. Injured bird or what? Before I could investigate the bird flew up and away from us.
Now I got a good glimpse before it disappeared and saw the gray and white bars on the tail. A Peregrine Falcon! No doubt leaving with some lunch in it's talons. They rarely miss their target.
This bird is one of my top ten favorites, tho' I rarely get to see one. The Peregrine is the fastest animal on earth, diving at speeds of over 220 miles an hour. They can spot prey from hundreds of feet in the air, dive to the ground and generally grab what they've gone after. They're so fast the prey never knows they're coming, until they're grasped in talons and rising in the air.
Got up and close with one several years ago at Hawk Ridge in Duluth, MN. They capture birds there as they detour around Lake Superior, heading south in the fall. Here's a shot of one being released. (https://i.imgur.com/WYvvqXU.jpg)

So cool, MS!
I was able to visit one when I was about 18 years old. It was not an adult yet. The Michigan DNR introduced them to some of the skyscrapers in Detroit in the 80's. Around my first year out of high school, the bird wasn't fully adapt at flying and they figured some of the winds around the tall buildings was the cause of it falling and crash landing. It was cared for at the Detroit Zoo and my father knew one of the vets there. My sister and I were able to visit with it. It's my favorite bird because of that experience. I'm glad they are thriving now after being endangered before.

I read about the giant penguin fossil Jules, paleontology being one of my interests.
Being big has a definite short term advantage, but it doesn’t have long term sustainability. At least the giant penguins probably weren’t driven to extinction by humans like the moa and giant cave bear.
And now I suppose I’ll get into a speciation and extinction debate with someone.
I have that thought every time I hit “post.” :emot_laughing:

His one friend is a HUGE bourbon fan boy and has promised to have something special for me. Us two and one other guy are the only bourbon drinkers.
And I love all the wives(and one girlfriend). We all get along so good.
Taco party tonight. Golfing on Saturday, weather is supposed to be beautiful. Steaks with sauteed mushrooms, with scallops and shrimp scampi after golf. Made to order omelettes on Sunday morning.

Very. But they were going to go. But then they thought about it and didn't find the idea of their daughter growing up in New York to be a great idea after all. Plus she wouldn't have her whole family with her and above all they didn't want to deal with the big city. They agreed it's a nice place to visit, not live.
So they're going to end up working just about fifteen minutes away from home and in the same place together, so that's awesome! :D
Plus we're going to start charging them rent and bills. ;D
If a woman in a wheelchair can help pay bills and buy groceries, so can they. Plus their education was very expensive and it's time to give back. And we bought them an outlander sport last year. And we still financially support them.

Dan and I got back from our weekend getaway with some of his friends. We golfed on Saturday.
There were 8 of us golfing. 6 men, 2 women. When I played with daddy and my sister, we always played from the mens tees, and I did this weekend also. Really, there were very few holes that the difference between the mens and womens tees were more than 20 yards.
There was no driving range, so I just took some practice swings. I started out with an 8 on the first hole. Double bogey on the 2nd hole. Then a par on a par 3, followed by a birdie, birdie, bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey. 7 over par on the first round. We changed up the foursomes so the top 4 golfers were together. I was in 3rd place so I was in the first group. Dan and I were split up as he was 8 over. UGH, I really wanted to because basically he is my interpreter for everyone. But I really liked one of the guys and we rode together. I started off with a double bogey. Then a birdie. Then I had 6 pars in a row. And finished with a bogey. 2 over par. 9 over on the round for an 81. I tied for first.
I was ribbed saying that Dan had told everyone that I didn't play much. I told them I didn't. They kidded me saying I was not being truthful. I have played twice this year and went to the driving range 3 times. Daddy taught me early that it was most important to just hit it straight, not to try to hit it too hard. I only had 3 balls out of the fairway all day. My chips were very good from 100 yards in, and my putting was deadly accurate. I made 2 putts over 30 feet. And rarely missed from 7 feet in.
I'm not really a huge fan of golf, but I did have a lot of fun on Saturday. I might have to go more.

She's definitely getting a promotion and part of the commission. I just so f'n love her right now. And my other partners are well aware and have all fistbumped and high fived her.

Gas mileage is why I always argue for taking her RAV4 I just got her. But really I just want to drive the new vehicle. To work it’s usually my old Tundra, but I’m going to drive her old 2001 Honda once it cools off this fall (AC is broke, electrical issue I don’t want to pay to track down).

Typing and even working the mouse have turned into a real adventure for this old man. With arthritis and starting to get a bit shaky, it's hard to predict what key I'll hit or where the mouse ends up just as I click. I have a fear that some error I make will land me on an illegal kiddie porn site and I'll be arrested.
So, last night I went to click on a topic and the mouse jumped and I hit a certain person's profile instead. Knowing what I'd done I quickly hit the back arrow, when I realized that, "WTF! There was a naked woman filling the background." Yes, good perv that I am, I went back to the profile and sure "nuf"...naked woman spread all over the page under the profile info. Was this a self portrait??? I'd like to think so, as the person's profile is one of our regular hot babes posting here.
So, who's profile did I land on, you ask? How about a "treasure" hunt. First person to identify the profile wins a free years subscription to KB!!! :emot_weird:
What? KB is free anyway? Oh well, all the fun is in the hunt anyway. Let's see which of you is first to find the sexiest profile on the board.

She and I have both used additional coding to add background photos to our “ultimate profile.” The secret on keeping your profile readable is to use a black and white picture without too many contrasts.

I wish teenagers had a regular routine. Mine woke me up at 11 last night to make them dinner. They both came in rather late, and I assumed they had a burger with friends or something. But no. So I served baked chicken with buttered green beans and egg noodles at midnight.
So my youngest was off to school at 6:30 a.m. My oldest doesn’t work until noon and is sleeping. Wifey has the day off and is sleeping late. I’m having coffee with the dog.

A sudden thought, ten minute's design work and ten minutes posting on Facebook twenty minutes on the laser, ten minutes to the post office, and I'm £80 richer.
That works out at almost £100/hour!
I wish I could keep that up, I would only need to work four days a month to cover all the bills!

Cutting - I use a cheap 40W CO2 laser that is perfectly happy cutting plywood up to 3mm thick, and acrylic up to 5mm.
I prefer vector engraving to raster, as it is far quicker on my machine.

Did laundry last night with my sisters wifey.
She told me about when she was little and knew she liked girls that she would never get the girl of her dreams. But then she met my sister online and when she first saw her she knew the girl of her dreams was nothing even close to my sister. :D
She told me how she went to sleep at night pretending my sister was with her and that she knew they would be together one day. But she never imagined she'd move to America, get married, have a gorgeous daughter and now about to start a career. Nor did she ever think she would have more family than she knew what to do with. :D
She made me feel like shit for ever thinking my sister should have stayed boy crazy when she was younger so she didn't end up like me and our mommies. :facepalm:
Can't imagine this family without the hot gay British girl. :D

A relaxing day yesterday with family and friends. Daddy and his friend. Dan's parents. Dan's sister and kids. Our kids. Hamburgers, Hotdogs, trampoline, yard games (Bocce champion here ;) ), Jarts (the original real ones). And the kids in the pool.
Dan's sister was a bartender years back and is an excellent bartender. She made a few Old Fashions. She brought her own bitters. They were deliciious.

I pulled a lawn dart (Not the same brand) out of my thigh once. I didn't have the home-made Scutum covering it like I should have. We pretended they're Plumbata, but you had to throw them pretty hard to stick in plywood.
Then again, I had to pry a pellet out from between my brother's ribs, when we found out that they don't just bounce off a teeshirt like BBs. We were lucky to make it through childhood with all 4 eyes.

Of course, it hasn't been enforced for just as long.
A lot of women, over decades of doing day labor. I'm just going to say that I have my doubts that they were all payed as much as me, or more for the same shit work.

Me: No.
Wifey: Why?
Me: Because I refuse to introduce myself with a Japanese last name.
Wifey: I introduce myself with your last name.
Me: I know.
Wifey: It's fine and all, but I really think we should change from yours to mine.
Me: No. It's perfect the way it is.
Wifey: What do I have to do to get you to consider it?
Me: I'll make you a deal. When Disney makes a star wars movie that people think is way better than the old ones, I will gladly change my last name from Anderson to Kitagawa.
Wifey: So the answer is a permanent no then.
Me: Yes.

I finally got a scam email. ;D
Quote
I am well aware, Harry is one of your pass words. Lets get directly to purpose. There is no one who has compensated me to investigate about you. You don't know me and you're probably thinking why you're getting this mail?
Actually, I installed a software on the adult videos (sex sites) site and you know what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean). When you were viewing video clips, your browser started working as a RDP that has a keylogger which provided me with access to your screen and cam. immediately after that, my software program obtained all your contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, as well as e-mailaccount. after that I made a double-screen video. 1st part displays the video you were viewing (you have a good taste lol), and next part shows the view of your webcam, & it is u.
There are a pair of choices. We should check out each of these possibilities in details:
Very first alternative is to ignore this message. in this scenario, I most certainly will send out your actual tape to all your your personal contacts and then just consider concerning the embarrassment you experience. or if you happen to be in a romance, just how it can affect?
other alternative will be to compensate me $898. Lets regard it as a donation. in this instance, I will quickly erase your video. You could keep going your life like this never occurred and you would... <SNIP!>
Oh, dear me. The guy in Korea caught me masturbating to midget clown porn! :emot_laughing:
Wait. I don't have a cam. I don't have Messenger. I don't have a Facebook account, either. Must have been a wrong number. Maybe he caught someone else masturbating to midget clown porn and confused him with me. It happens.
I fired off an Internet Abuse Report to his ISP. We'll see if his 'net connection exists next week... since it's Korea, they probably don't give a damn about abuse reports. If they ignore it, then I'll block their entire netblock here at our server, just in case. :D

Again, I'll quote wifey here: "Who is she anyway? Oh, right, she's the candidate from Wakanda."
Actually, thanks for pointing out Biden's Burnout. I wasn't picking up on a lot of language cueues, but his past is coming back to haunt him. He just got hit with a damning quote (https://youtu.be/2UWVO0Trd1c?t=7617) from his early career where he said he didn't feel responsible for previous generation's mistakes, and his glitches got worse.
I think you're right. I think we broke Biden.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with anything attached to him. No, he's not responsible for anything his family may have done in the past. Neither am I, or you or anyone.

Slavery is responsible for the wealth of Europe, America, and a surprising number of symbols of that wealth. (Among other things, like shipping plagues from Europe.) It's engraved into the plates that were used to print our money (Which was about half cotton, BTW) If you own, or have ever owned a wedding ring, you can thank Slavery for that, too.
Since you asked. I just have to appreciate the irony of citing "Ignorance of History" as ruining your day, when you got which way the responsibility points backwards. You're not responsible for Slavery. Slavery is partially responsible for you, and I, being born here.
That's our debt.

You mean like Slavery in Africa. They enslaved and sold their own, still do. And the Barbary slave trade. And the black slave owners in America. And the Hispanic slave owners. And the "indigenous" Slave owners. And the slave trade in the middle East right now. Asia is no stranger to slavery either.
If you want to assign blame, you're gonna be at it for a long time. But by your logic, it's only one people who are guilty, the rest are innocent of their ancestors crimes.
Let's shut up about it before Lois bitches at us. Or worse, Jules gives us a friendly warning.

No, I mean the triangular trade from West Africa to South America, to the Carribean, Gulf, and East Coast, which established the Trade Routes, and decimated native populations with European diseases so they're much easier to conquer.

I don't want to assign blame. You said "Ignorance of History," so I aknowledged that History. Not the parts we want to talk about, but the parts we don't want to talk about as well. It doesn't matter who you point the finger at, if you're against Ignorance of History, then you have to look at WHY our ancestors came here, How they built our wealth, who trimmed the blocks, and laid them between the cornerstones put down by the Freemasons, and who the All Seeing Eye was Watching from atop the Pyramid.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Dollarnote_siegel_hq.jpg/1200px-Dollarnote_siegel_hq.jpg) Triangular Trade was literally the Foundation of European America (Including Canada, and "Latin" America.)
If it weren't for the slave trade, and Cholera, my parents wouldn't have met each other as hippies in Georgetown. My grandfather Davillo wouldn't have met my Quaker grandmother... I wouldn't be here to check My privilege for you. I'm not the one ignoring my history here, and the Barbary Turks had nothing to do with it.

No, it was a simple statement of fact, in answer to your question. I withheld until after you had gone to bed, because I didn't want to ruin your day. If you don't want to talk Politics, don't. Don't ask questions if you know you're not going to like the answer.

Also, if you actually like having nobody else but me to play with. Go ahead, and summon Lois to reign in my tongue. After all, that's what caused the drop in population here, isn't it?
The consensus is that everyone left, because people arguing for me to STFU. I'm not going to STFU. I believe it's even been called pathological. I'm not the only one that was arguing, though.
So, go right ahead, and see if you can get Lois to shut me the fuck up. Then who will you have to play with?

What type of steak did you use for the braciole? I have watched as Italian nanas took flank steak and cut it in half, length-wise, then tenderize it by beating it. Then add stuffing, roll it up, tie it and then bake it. Don't see braciola served much anymore.

I used a flank steak, and beat it. Not that I have any experience beating meat! LOL.
Did a red sauce with wine. Rolled with mozzarella and Swiss chard. Tied and baked. Very old school. Saw it on a Beat Bobby Flay rerun, and decided to make it again. It had been years for me.

I’m guessing we’re not talking medium rare or medium here, so the pounding flat tenderizes the flank steak sufficiently?
This reminds me of the conversation I had with my mentor a French chef. He told me he thought my idea of venison Wellington wouldn’t work because by the time the puff pastry was brown and crispy the venison tenderloin would be way over cooked. So I browned the tenderloin in a very hot pan and stuck it in the freezer until it got a little stiff (pun intended). I had the puff coated with duxelles and pâté ready, and wrapped the ice cold tenderloin and baked. It came out perfect with a red center.

What a great suggestion. We are doing a Wellington at Christmas (yes, we are already planning holiday menus. The requests come in so fast and furious I end up cooking enough for 20). I have always kept the tenderloin cold in the fridge, pan sear, then bake. Once my crust is browning, I do a temperature test. My target is to get the meat up to about 140°. If I need to make a foil tent, that will keep the pastry crust from over cooking. Then bring that baby out and let it rest.

Actually, this is a good idea for John, and I, because he has family, and they tend to come over for Thanksgiving-through-New Years. At least that's what he says, so it might be a good idea to plan for that, since I do the cooking/housewife stuff.
Don't worry about his nieces, nephews, kids, and step-kids. They're not his type, he's more tempted by strangers, even though he's quite capable of controlling himself. It just caused a lot of emotional problems.

My first attempt at a Wellington didn’t go so well. I put the hot seared tenderloin directly on the puff turning it into a gooey mess. In the end it was edible, but the puff looked like Swiss cheese.
I haven’t used puff pastry in a few years. I might get some and wing it as a chicken pot pie with a can of chicken corn chowder I have for tomorrow. Pre-bake it lined in ramikans, fill with the soup and add a puff top. I’ll add a Caesar and call it dinner. I’m trying not to buy too much food right now and creatively use what’s in the pantry and fridge.

Yeah, you want to let it rest after the sear, but that can hold-over cook it to overdone, if you're going to cook it again in a wrap.. TBPH, I haven't done Wellington in the better part of a decade, because it's such a PITA, but you you JUST want to flash sear it. Cast iron, as hot as you can get it, and fast. If you have a grill pan (I have a Komal) that really helps, but I've done it on a Pizza Stone. I haven't tried the frozen trick, but I have tried Ice-Tenderizing tougher cuts of meat. (The tenderloin, or backstrap of Venison don't need tenderized.)
It's a neat trick, and it works, but it's also pretty time consuming. You want to freeze, and thaw it, which takes about 90 minutes off, and on, depending on the cut. Works really good on Steaks, and Flat "Steaks" like Flank if you don't want to beat the hell out of it. Pineapple is a hell of a lot easier though.
For wrapped, or layered dishes like Wellington, searing, then freezing it is a neat technique I might try. Still not all that interested in making Puff Paste dough, though. I hate baking.

Beef Wellington is delicious, but they sell Pastry Dough in sheets. I don't have enough pride in myself as a Pastry Chef (I'm not, I HATE baking) to make it worth scratch making that dough.

In my job someone announcing inspectors typically means the FDA has shown up, usually without notice. You get that email and think, ‘Well fuck, not getting any real work done this week.’
It can be inspectors from other countries too. It’s like when Turkey showed up and I thought it was too bad the Swiss weren’t here too, we could have made a sandwich.

I'm just laughing at his title, Bad Point No. 1:
He's obviously not a professional writer, neither am I, just an amateur hobbyist. He's just appointed himself to spelcheck a novel, and forgot to spelcheck his review.
So, ironically, he made his point, and he made it badly.
"Now, don't get me wrong, the book isn't so bad that it's unreadable, but there are a lot of spelling mistakes, and there were a few occasions where I had to read a paragraph, read it again, and then reconsider what he was trying to say for a few moments before I could grasp the issue."

Don't tell me that. She exercises and maintains her body but freaks out when she gains an insignificant amount.
You can tell her that, yourself. A full bladder can add the better part of a pound, as well. That's not even counting "Water weight" which can fluctuate monthly. It's generally best to weigh yourself (Unless you obsess over your weight) in the morning, after your morning piss, and doody to get the most accurate, and consistent data.
It might help you and waifu, if you discuss the things that can skew the scales, independent of her actual body weight, or not. Trying to help.

You've obviously never dealt with an irrational Japanese girl. If I said any of that she'd tell me how wrong I am and that somehow it's my fault. :roll:

My Minnesota Twins clinched their first AL Central Division title since 2010! This after some miserable seasons, a couple under .500 even.
Play offs with be tough I know. I'll be rooting for the home time. I'm not a sports fan, but I do have a special love for the Twins.
I used to office on Park Avenue, just down the street from the Metrodome, back in Kirby Puckett days. So many great afternoons there playing hooky.

Kirby Puckett is from Chicago and played junior college ball at Triton College in a suburb of Chicago. Shame he had a disease in his eye where he lost sight, or had greatly diminished his sight, in one of his eyes.
Maybe it is the Twins and Vikings year this year.

Spent the day trying to figure out whether I can use a cheap barometric pressure sensor to detect (altitude) compression depth and speed for a low-cost CPR training monitor. I googled it and got essentially zero hits for the basic concept, so I'm forging into unknown territory. Later this evening I'll have the code fleshed out and see if the concept even basically works.
Actually, I'm using TWO of the cheap sensors: one for a static reference inside the body, one hot-glued to the chest of the manikin. The reference is to account for pressure changes during compression cycles. I'm running the parts right to the limit of detection to get 1cm accuracy, which is just barely enough.
It may be a complete bust, but it's fun trying. If this version blows, the next up to bat is an accelerometer from a cellphone.

FWIW, a limit switch would probably be the cheapest for mass production, however it would be on/off. That's it, it would tell you that you got Enough compression, but not if you went too far. (Unrealistically, it wouldn't have a too far unless you hit it hard enough to break.)
Pneumatically, it would be more realistic, and expensive if you had a lung bladder inside, and that would also provide feedback through the mouth. The flow rate, and pressure could be measured normally, with simple pneumatic gauges.
I'm not sure what the sensitivity on the Barometer would be. I don't have one with me for testing.

Wifey #2 started to have a minor meltdown about how I help her bathe. Which I've done every single day since she's lived here. Occasionally it really hits her that she's never going to walk again and she feels like she's nothing but a burden on me. I would do anything to help her. If she wore diapers, I'd change them. Not like I don't do that every day too.
"I can't even wipe my ass without your help. You must be disgusted every time you help me in the shower."
No. I'm not. It's not your fault this happened to you. And I don't care about using a sprayer to clean yer butt. ;D I love helping her get clean and smelling like roses. I love helping her. I love her. She's a gorgeous woman inside and out and she belongs to me. And who knows, someday many, many years from now I might have to change her diaper too. ;D
You do things like that for people you love and you don't complain about it. Odd as it sounds, I really do love helping her shower. :roll:

However, I've known many "Sextroverts" in my lifetime. That's what I call them, an extrovert gains "energy" from being around, and socializing with other people. (I'm a histrionic introvert, so I "Recharge" from alone time.)
I coined the term "Sextrovert" for people that gain emotional energy erotically. No matter how exhausted, (within reason) they get their "Second wind" as soon as things turn sexy. I'm not saying UR1, Chirpy, but I definitely have some reasons to suspect you might be.

Yeah, I'm actually trying to measure compression depth, as well as speed. I've seen EMTs use something that looks like a cellphone between their hand and the chest during training, which I'm guessing is using an accelerometer. I don't want the students fiddling around and wasting time dropping a cellphone; I want them focused on the job at hand, so I need it built inside the manikin and fairly reliable.
So far, the pressure sensor is a bust. The best resolution I can get at 120 strokes per minute is ~2 inches, and I was hoping for a centimeter (half inch) accuracy. I can get the accuracy in the right range, but not fast enough. I have to average too many samples to get those extra two bits. For something designed to measure meters, I didn't do too bad.
The math for real-time conversion of acceleration to distance is ugly (http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/865967) << link. I'm using a reasonably fast processor, so I should be able to crunch the numbers quickly enough. I only have one accelerometer on hand, so I guess that's the next one to play with. Dunno if it's as accurate as the ADXL330 they used in the article, as I don't have any decent data on it.
There's not a lot of room inside the manikin, what with that spring in the center of the chest. I'd put something inside the spring tower, but it doesn't want to come apart. It's a two-piece plastic assembly with a spring inside, and it's been fighting me. If I break it, I buy another one.

That really helps. (Robotics technician) Since cost seems to be the highest priority, correct me if I'm wrong, it looks like Strain Gauges might be the most bang for your buck. The butter zone between not enough pressure, and breaking ribs/sternum is broad enough that you shouldn't need micrometer accuracy.
My primary concern with the Atmospheric/Altitude barometer is Hysteresis. Those aren't generally designed for Rapid changes in pressure. So, depending on the specific design, they may not have time to register the changes accurately. Again, I'd have to see the actual sensor, or at least the spec sheet to determine that.

Looking at alternatives for distance sensing, I may have found the winner: a Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0F IR distance sensor that's got a range between 4 and 30cm (about 1.5in to 12in). The range I'm looking at is right in the middle of that, ~10 to 20cm where the sensor is most linear. Whether the pink plastic will reflect IR well enough is a question. Sharp doesn't even MENTION the word 'accuracy' in the datasheet except for some sloppy numbers in the 'Electro-Optical Characteristics', so I'll probably have to do a unique calibration curve for each sensor. Measurement speed is 60Hz, so I'll get about 30 points per compression cycle, which is decent.
If the spring doesn't occlude the far end, the best spot would be mounted at the base of the spring tower. Total cost will be under $20 each. I'm looking at other CPR trainers right now to see who has the best feedback method to correct the students. I'm liking how the Laerdal CPRmeter 2 works, but I haven't finished looking yet.
edit: OBTW, the 'lung' goes between the plastic body and the flip-up 'skin' in the first pic. It exits the head about where a stoma would be. That's a Prestan Ultra Lite manikin like what we have.

Apparently it's international lesbians day. As I've said, there are 4 women in my house who despise the word Lesbian and prefer "Gay". My mom, my stepmom, my sisters wifey and my wifey refuse to be called that word. It's because they're all "way too hot" to be Lesbians. ;D And they all say I'm an egomaniac about my looks. :roll:
Whatever. I don't like to talk about either word with them. I refuse to even discuss it and that's lead them to thinking I love them less because when three of them "came out" to me I dismissed it and wouldn't talk about it.
But today all the gay girls were in the same room and I said "Happy international lesbian day!" ;D
They all turned to me and looked at me as if they were going to fuckin' slaughter me. My sister looked at me, shook her head and mouthed "Nooooooooooo!". :emot_laughing:

So, about 3 weeks ago, Mrs JBRG and I needed something to kill an afternoon. I decided that we would go see if we could find her a newer car. Her 2010 Focus was suffering from rusted rocker panels (the panels below the doors). Everything else with her vehicle was fine. Just rusted out rockers.
We went to a few stealerships and looked for all wheel drive vehicles in our price range. We knew that we would not get much in trade value for her Focus so we were restricted in how high we could go. She also came to the conclusion that if we got her a different vehicle, we would not be able to afford to purchase the travel trailer we had been planning on getting. Therefore, we would not need my truck.
Test drove some vehicles. Told a stealership to go fuck themselves at the trade in value they were putting on my truck. Seems they were so anxious to sell one vehicle that they took it upon themselves to try and do a one for one deal.
Filled out an online form on a different dealerships website that came back and said my truck was worth $6000 more than what the stealership was offering. About 5 minutes after filling out the form, the dealer’s Internet sales guy calls me directly (had to give name and phone number on the form). We talked. I explained the situation and he was more than willing to work with our desires. I told him which vehicles interested us and made arrangements for a test drive of them.
Long story short, this dealer made us very happy with their desire to work with us. We walked out with 2 vehicles — a 2012 Focus Titanium hatchback for the Mrs and a 2017 Focus SE sedan for me.
Right off the bat, we decided to replace the supplied summer tires (all-season) with all weather tires. Chose the ones we wanted and found out afterwards that there was a $120.00 mail in rebate on each set.
So, what made me happy — 2 newer vehicles that get excellent fuel mileage that are winter ready.

Got a friend who’s wife would frequently take in strays, and we’re not talking dogs. In one instance, the girl’s parents moved away without her. So they took her in and raised her until she turned 18, no involvement with social services or any other agency, just did it. Apparently they did this several times.
He said last year he was at a Redskin’s game and some girl yelled ‘Hi Dad!’ It was one of the strays now in her 30s. Doing well enough that she was at an NFL game.

Too many kids, not enough CJ. There's sad stories about two of my kids, the new 5's is one of them. To discuss it would take a long time and CJ lacks the energy to do it. It's depressing but uplifting at the same time.
And we're not even counting my little brother and all the other children that would be left in my care if something happened to their parents. So CJ hopes for everyone's health and safety because my house can't hold any more people. :D
Or animals, because the seven would take in every stray animal in this city if she could. :roll:
But back on topic, $1.49 ice cream at Kroger today! Wifey #2 loves ice cream. CJ loves licking it off of her. :roll:

My friend does not look like the type to take in stray kids and give them a loving home. He’s a big burly biker with a pony tail and hoop earrings who looks mean but isn’t. He gets asked for ID picking up his grand daughter from school, because they are very hesitant to release a child to someone looking like him.

WOO to you Chirp. We have taken in teenagers and abused wives over the years who knew they could find a peaceful place for short term. None were strangers. The teenagers are now adults with good jobs and the abused wives now live a life free from their abusive husbands. We see them pretty often and it reminds us just how the real world can be so cruel but that there are caring people out there that will help those less fortunate.

Wifey checking her Twitter this morning.
Sees hashtag praising black guy for running fast.
Wifey: Look, white girl, a black guy can run fast! If it isn't a hashtag about being gay, trans, a black rapper dropping a new profanity-laden diss track or fake professional wrestling, what is Twitter even good for?
Me: Asks the racist, gay "person of color" woman.

We drove to see Dan's oldest at college. It was parents day at Western Michigan Univ.
We tailgated. And everyone of her friends she introduced me to she said, "this is my new mom and she is awesome and my best friend." And each time she had her arm around me. I blamed the wind for making my eyes water all day, which is partiall true. It was chilly and we did not go into the football game.
We played baggoo and I had to learn to play left handed. I did awesome. Not as good as I was right handed though with my bowling skills.
We took Dan's yummy chilli. I baked a number of things. Another parent brought cider and had it on a cooktop in a 3 galloon pot warming it. Donuts. Lots of other treats. The donut s and cider yesterday kind of ruins our planned trip to the cider mill today. Maybe next weekend.
Oh and the drive from Detroit to Kalamazoo along I94. The leaves are changing. Such a pretty drive.

Got invited to go back to New York. But, I dunno. Two trips there was great, I don't know about a third. I seem to remember there's a bagel and pizza place every ten steps or so.
I don't know. Wifey wants to go. The kids didn't seem too excited about going back though even though they had a blast when we took them last year.

My little brothers gaming laptop, that I gave him, was overheating while he and I playing together.
Told him to bring it over and I'd use some canned air to clean the fans and vents. I have to do it for mine,. It's no big deal. CJ can even replace thermal goop. ;D
Our machines are top of the line but still, those tiny fans get dusty no matter how obsessed with cleaning I am. But when I took his apart, his fans were totally clogged. I blasted them, cleaned them and put it back together. Temps went down to about 35 degrees idle.
His mom also obsessively cleans. I don't get how they suck up so much dust. :roll:
But all is well and I got a hug for being "the best big sister ever". ;D

Most of that 'dust' is dead skin cells... you lose 'em ALL the time. No matter how often you clean, you're still shedding skin. I lose more of it than you do, due to a couple of past issues I'm still paying for.

A gift from one of the partners.
I brought him a very nice bottle of bourbon and he unexpectedly reciprocated
It is hard to find and I have never actually seen a bottle of it in my life.
I gave him a Buffalo Trace Antique Collection bottle of Stagg he gave me a bottle of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon.
I am so excited. I will probably display it on our bar for many years before opening it.
I text Dan a pic and he said, what is it. I will explain later I guess

Yeah, fuck you toe. Woke at 1:30AM with the sweats and couldn’t get back to sleep. I know why my Peruvian is sweating, it’s hot flashes, but why me???!!! It’s in the 50s outside, so why was I sweating all night? When I finally tried to get up for work, I had a massive headache probably from dehydration of sweating all night. I called in sick. Then I wanted a bath, but my well pump had cut off. Figured why bathe anyway with the water low if I’m skipping work. Now I’m on the toilet fighting constipation.
And it’s raining outside, but not enough to help my well!
Just kidding about the fuck you, at least someone is having a good day.

Well I’ve been really feeling like shit for days, so I am enjoying a reprieve.
I’m the same age my father in law and former father in law were when they died. I told my wife at my last birthday, “If I can survive the next 12 months, I think I’ll hit 70.” Damned if the fates aren’t trying to take me out early.

I was 58 when I got the wake-up call / check engine light. Luckily it was easily corrected, and the cardiologist said my heart won't kill me until extreme old age. That made my DECADE. :D My mom and dad both died around the age I am now, so hearing that I'll probably outlive all my friends and family was both glorious and disheartening.
The chest doc a couple of years earlier gave me a clean bill of health, "no evidence of pre-emphysema-like symptoms" on the chest MRI. I still have maybe 6 more chances to collapse a lung and die from that unexpectedly (blebs), but that's likely due to the allergies I have here in Dallas from researching chest.net back then. Consensus is allergies cause it, although the chest doc told me I needed to stop smoking. I pointed to the MRI results and said "Please explain why. Use small words, as that says otherwise." :D

Talking with my old girlfriend today for her 52nd birthday. We’ve known each other for over 30 years, and lovers for ten. We know each other’s good and bad points. We almost got married, but didn’t. So she’s the “one who got away,” but that’s good too, because knowing us, we would have figured out a way to fuck things up. Anyway, we had a nice chat, caught up on things, exchanged photos. I’d still hit that.

As a musician it always fascinates me all the different objects that can be used to make music. i can envision the saw man you witnessed.
the most fascinating i ever witnessed was some young teen kids that were making music with leaves rustling together, hands splashing in a full bucket of water and the scraping of shoes by one on cement and the other in dirt. accompanied by ever soo soft singing. I cant rembmeber what they were playing. it was beautiful such talent

Also:
A new, "painfully cute and adorable" young Asian girl just got hired at the place wifey works at. So I've been teasing her, asking if she wants to fuck her.
Wifey: It might surprise you to hear, white girl, that just because I'm gay it doesn't mean I want to have sex with every pretty girl I see."
Me: You so wanna fuck her.
Wifey: No.
Me: Why? You said she's Asian.
Wifey: I said Asian, not Japanese-American.
Me: So fucking what!?
Wifey: I hate you cussing so much, by the way. I don't know how many times I've told you to stop. But to answer your question, I don't really have much of any interest in Asian girls who aren't Japanese.
Me: So, your sexual preferences are obviously white and only Japanese girls?
Wifey: Yep.
Me: But why don't you want to fuck her? Tell the truth.
Wifey: She's Filipino.
Me: So? Is Filipino even technically Asian?
Wifey: She may be cute and adorable, but it doesn't fix that.
Me: You're such a gay racist!
Wifey: You wouldn't let me fuck her anyway.
Me: HAH! So you haven't dismissed it just because she's what you classify an inferior race of Asians, it's because you think you can't fuck her because of me.
Wifey: Maybe.
Me: So bring her home, we'll fuck her together. I'll clean all the filthy inferior race off her for you.
Wifey: (thinks about it) Really?
:emot_laughing:
By the way, I did see a picture of her from wifey. A "team" pic of wifey as the head chef and her minions beneath her. She is soooooooooooooooo cute and adorable. I wanna fuck her, and will if wifey doesn't wanna. ;D

Had a very long talk with my daughter. I told her the way things are now is not how I wanted my life to turn out. I'd trade it all away just for the two of us to be off on our own.
To which she got really mad at me about, lecturing me on how a lot of little girls wouldn't have what they have now if I did that. She's right of course, but deep down I'd still rather it had just been the two of us on our own.

I grew up in the Mad Men era, when “Scotch on the rocks” was the drink of choice among men. I think my grandfathers, and their friends, would find the current obsession with drinking neat or with a dropperful of glacial water to “unleash the bouquet” to be a bit much. I was told to, “Shut up and enjoy your drink, and don’t ever comment on what someone else is drinking.” It was good advice then. Still is.

Dec. 31, 1965. I'd been home on leave after Army basic training. Was now on my way to South Carolina for Infantry training. At O'Hare in Chicago, I boarded a 707, the top of the line airliner at the time.
In uniform the Stewardess asks me if I wanted a cocktail. (gasp) Only 19, and I'm offered booze! All I knew ( from TV shows) was scotch on the rocks and gave my order. I was given my drink and took a sip...it was awful. My first taste of booze, straight scotch, yuck. Maybe that explains why I never became much of a drinker.

Light level of decorations - black cats in the windows & on the front door, couple of pumpkins on the step, then a steady stream of local kids trick-or-treating.

We have way more in common. ;D Couldn't possibly love her more than I already do. :'(

Dec. 31, 1965. I'd been home on leave after Army basic training. Was now on my way to South Carolina for Infantry training. At O'Hare in Chicago, I boarded a 707, the top of the line airliner at the time.
In uniform the Stewardess asks me if I wanted a cocktail. (gasp) Only 19, and I'm offered booze! All I knew ( from TV shows) was scotch on the rocks and gave my order. I was given my drink and took a sip...it was awful. My first taste of booze, straight scotch, yuck. Maybe that explains why I never became much of a drinker.
Yeah, my first drunk was from an old bottle of screw top Cutty Sark. Rank.
My grandfather drank scotch and soda in the winter and gin and tonic in the summer, making a big production out of that transition twice a year. So I would steal some those nights he drank, because he marked the bottle the following morning. My first experiences drunk were drinking scotch or gin, sometimes the two of them mixed together (not something I recommend). I got sick a few times, so once I was an adult I couldn’t stand the smell of either. It took until I was in my 40s before I tried scotch again, still not a huge fan but I’ll partake occasionally only if it’s a really good scotch and not that rotgut he drank (he often bought Cutty Sark). I only managed to try gin again this year at 57. Turns out I love gin and tonic using Indian tonic water and a big slice of lime.

I helped a team solve a technical problem last week across the 'net, and I'd help solve a different problem this weekend except I need to bone up on the Red Cross manual again, as I'm teaching more students next week. It's been nearly a year, and my memory is getting foggy in my advanced years... ;D
Oh, and I did a one-page info guide for the most common first aid issues that was well received at work. I got a lot of positive feedback and questions from the supervisors and a double handful of their employees. It's always fun when you can dispel some absolutely WRONG 'folk wisdom' to nearly 700 people, and they're both attentive and inquisitive.

Anyone who drinks single malt with ice should be taken back behind the barn and summarily shot.
I used to think like that, until old age and heartburn turned my beloved malts against me. Now I add a single ice cube, for medicinal purposes you understand.

After this we are going out for breakfast in Canada at a restaurant he loves then back to Michigan for the zoo or if the weather isn't better, the casino for a bit.

Haven’t thought about the Sugarcubes in ages. Gave us Björk. The broke up in 1992, which was 17 years ago. Time flies.
Don't want to alarm you, but you're a decade off.
Shit, 27 years ago. That’s a long time, even for me. :emot_laughing:
I spotted that too, but since I’ve done the same sort of math error frequently except worse, I declined to point it out. Such as saying I’ve been driving for over 30 years just to correct myself to say over 40 years, followed by saying ‘shit, really?’ Although it is kinda cool that when my Peruvian critiques my driving, I can reply, ‘I’ve been driving as long as you’ve been alive.’

I've learned to let my inner pedant go. Also, 40 years is over 30 years ago. That's why i say things like "Almost a week," and so forth. If you say flat out it was seventeen years ago, someone will glasses push and say "Well, actually, it's was 17 years, and 8 months ago."

3 things.
A good nights sleep. Almost 9 hours. It has been so long.
The middle one stayed the night because her mom went to visit a relative out of state. She and I are really bonding lately. She's opening up to me. I've never been the evil step mother. She just hasn't let me in. I'm so happy. She's a great kid. She is with us through Tuesday.
A three way. hahaha no not that kind. A three way email communication between myself and two friends. Nothing major, just chit chat. For someone that can't use a phone, and email is my main form of communication (other than face to face), it just makes me smile.

Thank you for the previous three comments.
I have another Made My Day moment today.
It happens often, but I really noticed twice today. It's when Dan gets a huge smile on his face. A true genuine smile. One that makes his crow's feet and left cheek dimple pop. Whether it be a smile of pride, or one of happiness because of something one of the kids or I did, or even when he laughs and in it's wake that smile remains. I see it often and it is just so warming to my heart and sends a surge of happiness through me. I love his infectious smile.

That is a nice feeling isn’t it Jules. My Peruvian and I sometimes can’t contain our laughter when we look at each other. We’ll try and keep a straight face, especially those times she’s pretending to be mad at me, then I make a face and she loses it. Same when I try and be serious, just ends of with laughter from both of us.

Then delete the youtu.be link:

You get this!
Ok, you're actually right. It's not an embed problem, it's something to do with Chrome and this forum. Embedded videos don't show for me here, but they do anywhere else. I tried it on internet explorer and it works, but not on chrome. Chrome doesn't seem to like this place and won't show embedded youtube. I tried everything and it will not show them, just blank spaces.

I use Chrome on my smartphone. Videos from youtube . com do fine, but videos from youtu . be do not. So that is the workaround I use. I actually have a shortcut that puts in the whole thing whenever I type “youtube”.

Had to come in to work for a bit. A little issue with some things. Nothing I could have Dan talk them through on the phone. (this part should actually be in "ruined my day" but it is okday)
Dan's always willing to take a trip to this area. He has friends that are another 20 minutes south, he called them last night and he's having coffee with a light breakfast with them now
For lunch we are going to Canada for a really good fish place I LOVE. And we will see what the LCBO (Ontario liquor stores) and Duty Free has that we can't get in the states.

I was shocked the first time I went. I never expected totally naked. And after paying for a girl to dance 3 songs in a row, they really started showing what they got. Reminded me of Playboy when they first started, and Hustler by song 4.

My hot black knocked up homegirl and her daughter stopped by to visit. Her daughter told me "mommy said you were almost my mommy".
Which is true. I almost was her mommy. My friends were having a hard time making a kid, and it looked like my homegirl wasn't going to be able to get pregnant. So she and her husband asked me if I'd be willing to make one for them. Half my DNA, half her husbands. I've known them my entire life, but honestly the thought of CJ having a half black baby was damn near an absolute NO from me. I don't care what you think, I'm a white boys only white girl. They offered to pay for everything, and even wanted their kid to acknowledge me as their real mom, but they would raise it.
I thought about it, and ultimately I was going to say yes, because they were there for me when I was at my worst. Both of them even confronted me about my teen aged drug use and threatened to "clean your white ass up whether you want it or not". So I was prepared to say yes, do it without her husband having the time of his life though, and give them a kid.
But, thankfully for all of us she got knocked up and my services were not required. Now she has another on the way.
But her daughter asked me if it was true, I said yes, and she said "That would have been really cool too. But I've got the best mommies and daddy anyway." :'(

Got our first major snow. Minneapolis got hit with 5 or 6 inches. It's wet heavy stuff that my little snow blower can't handle. My neighbors last year did the shoveling in the front, leaving me just the short back sidewalk and driveway.
I knew they were gone and was resigned to having to do it all myself. In my 70s it's not a recommended activity. Browsing the newspaper to kill time and hope for a sudden warm up to 60 degrees, I heard a noise in front.
Going to the door, there, before my eyes was a mostly shoveled walk and a lady I didn't know working by the front steps shoveling away natures mess. She looked up and said hi, I'm M****. I'm dog sitting next door and your neighbors said they did your walks too. Wow!!!! Kind neighbors who arraigned a substitute shoveler. I sent them a text, thanking them for being so thoughtful.
We do provide them with a gift card a couple times during the winter from a local pizza place.
Now, to tackle the back walk and driveway. :emot_wave2: :emot_wave2: :emot_wave2:

Ordered a custom $2000 wardrobe/dresser in the Amish country a few months ago. It was delivered today. The guy phoned me asking about stairs and such at my house. It got me thinking, and I went and looked at the bedroom doorway it had to go through. I began muttering ‘fuck. . . fuck. . . . fuck’ over and over again looking at that tight turn from the hall.
We carried it across my rotting deck with me cringing at the deck boards bending, but no lawsuits for anyone falling 6 feet through.
The delivery guys wanted to give up, but I removed the wardrobe knobs and took a picture off the hall wall. When we still needed more space, I pried the floor molding off the hall wall. That was just enough, and we got it in.
The freshly painted hallway wall has a rub mark, but putting the picture back up covered that.

My movers gave up trying to get a large armoire up a narrow staircase is my house. I bought a 12 pack of beer for two of my son’s friends who work at the Home Depot. Took them about 5 minutes. There was a scuff mark also, but that was easily touched up.

Yesterday was nice here, but the Phoenix area had 3 confirmed tornadoes in the early morning.

A house full of people yesterday. We had an open house throughout the day for friends to stop in whenever they had time as college games played all day.
A lot of our daughter's college friends stopped by. It was so nice meeting them and hearing some stories about her that we haven't. Her laughter while looking at me as I listened to some of her friends describer her sillier antics was priceless. Love these kids and their friendship.
A couple of people from my work stopped by. A number of my friends. Some of Dan's coworkers and friends.
At one point we had what I believe to be 45 people. Lucky we have a finsihed basement.
We had a wonderful time. Only 4 hours getting the house cleaned and back to normal this morning while everyone else slept (and are still sleeping at 11:18am).
Maybe a new Thanksgiving Saturday annual tradition.

Imagine there's a real person who inspires all sorts of forbidden erotic thoughts that only manifest themselves in day dreams (and night dreams), masturbation, and plans for very naughty stories that may make their way on to this site.
Then one morning you see him/her for real, and he/she looks at you. And this is not the first time you've seen each other, but you thought the fantasy was only one way i.e. in your head only, and how could it be otherwise, as it's so inappropriate.
But the way he/she looked at you, could they possibly be (crash/bang/wallop) feeling something in your direction too?
Perhaps I'm totally in fantasy word. But what if I'm not?
Oh my. That's what happened to me this morning. Made my day.

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

When you mentioned “forbidden” desires that are “so inappropriate,” I apologize for assuming you also meant illegal. Because we have a lot of people here who express those desires. And forum rules prohibit talk about illegal activities. That was the nature of the “red flags” warning. But if you’re just in love with your boss’s wife, or Taylor Swift, more power to you.

CJ checked her spam mail folder to see if anything important got sent there, but instead I found a scam mail. ;D
Hello!
I am a hacker who has access to your operating system. I also have full access to your account.
I've been watching you for a few months now. The fact is that you were infected with malware through an adult site that you visited.
If you are not familiar with this, I will explain. Trojan Virus gives me full access and control over a computer or other device. This means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on the camera and microphone, but you do not know about it.
I also have access to all your contacts and all your correspondence.
Why your antivirus did not detect malware? Answer: My malware uses the driver, I update its signatures every 4 hours so that your antivirus is silent.
I made a video showing how you satisfy yourself in the left half of the screen, and in the right half you see the video that you watched. With one click of the mouse, I can send this video to all your emails and contacts on social networks.I can also post access to all your e-mail correspondence and messengers that you use.
If you want to prevent this, transfer the amount of $500 to my bitcoin address (if you do not know how to do this, write to Google: "Buy Bitcoin").
My bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) is: 1Lzto1zzLWAQiap2L4X5xVD9D5NdgezAgv
After receiving the payment, I will delete the video and you will never hear me again. I give you 50 hours (more than 2 days) to pay. I have a notice reading this letter, and the timer will work when you see this letter.
Filing a complaint somewhere does not make sense because this email cannot be tracked like my bitcoin address. I do not make any mistakes.
If I find that you have shared this message with someone else, the video will be immediately distributed.
Best regards!
Ya know what, go ahead and release it. I bet my grandma would love to see it. :emot_laughing:

Big day for us today. Wifey's Birthday...81 years young. At one time (23) in her early, troubled life, she was told she'd never make it to 24. So every Bday, she thinks of that person.
She was my Mistress when health was better. We had a full on FLR with lots of D/s. One thing that has carried over is the traditional Birthday Spanking. As a good slave, I, of course, had to receive her spanking. That still applies to this day. So, before we left for the gym, I was bent over the bed and got 40 swats on each cheek with the leather "slapper". Final 81st blow covered both, now red, cheeks. Then to finish it off, a flurry of short fast swats. I had to count the swats, naturally. :emot_bottomspank: :emot_bottomspank: :emot_bottomspank:
After the gym we had a Birthday breakfast out. Friday's we usually meet with a few friends for dinner and conversation. So, we've announced we're treating the group to pizza. If anyone from the board is in Minneapolis tonight..... :D

Yesterday went to our metro area state park for our monthly photo club meeting. Even tho' it's right next to a freeway and across from the busy airport, the park is full of wildlife, scenic hiking trails and is bounded by the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, in fact, the Minnesota joins the Mississippi and long before the white man showed up, was considered a sacred place to the Dakota.
Back to my post. Approaching the visitor center from the parking lot, I spotted a good looking deer. There's a herd and about 30 in the park and very used to having people around. Still, I decided to get a long shot with my phone, in case he scampered off.
Zooming the camera app to it's max, I fired off the first shot.
(https://i.imgur.com/fw6SO02.jpg)
Just as I was about to try and slowly move closer, the deer looked at me and started moving in my direction!! (OK, it is near the end of the rut, and maybe all my time at KB has caused the word PERV to appear on my forehead) So, I was a little concerned. I mean those antlers are sharp.
(https://i.imgur.com/L0oj5Or.jpg)
He allowed me to get several shots, fairly close and struck some nice poses too.
There is a couple in the photo club who are in the park nearly everyday. They've named all the deer and know who breed who. This fine chap is Tyson, four years old. Bright Eyes, a doe who's been around quite a while is his mom. I was told that as a fawn, he was observed being feisty when his mom was trying to move him somewhere. He got on his hind legs and "boxed" at mom with his front legs. Hence the Tyson name.
It was a hard year for the deer herd. The park flooded and was closed for six months. Even after it opened again in the fall more heavy rain closed both islands, where the deer herd up, once again. Now that things are frozen, the couple was able to do a survey. Only 8 fawns survived. At least 8 does are gone and they not doubt had fawns that they stayed with during the flood rather than leave them. Also several of the older large bucks are gone.

My sisters wifey came down stairs early this morning to get some hot cocoa. She had a glow about her, so naturally CJ assumed she and my sister had an enjoyable evening together.
"Is it just me, or are colors brighter and the air smells cleaner?"

Ever since their daughter got moved out of their room they've been humping like crazy. :emot_laughing:

Dan and I are volunteering all week at the assisted living home where Kevin lived. When we left today, one of the elderly women there pulled us aside and said everybody is so happy that we've been spending our week with them. I've been playing piano (the best I can), while Dan plays his guitar and sings. Christmas songs. Today we decorated cookies. We've been having so much fun.
And, Dan made steak on the grill with grilled mushrooms. It was so good. Resting for a bit now.

I’ve finally started putting up Christmas. House is decorated outside, and we will be tree shopping today or tomorrow. All the ornament boxes are stacked in the living room. The girls arrive next week, so it will be nice to have children in the house for the holidays.

No, CJ doesn't buy all brand new stuff all the time. :roll:
They had huge HDTVs on sale for like $80. So many of them they're trying to move out before everyone brings in their old ones when they get new ones on Xmas. I'm thinking about picking up a couple, give wifey #2 a bigger one for her room.
They had 1080P 19 inch ones for $25. :roll: Sure they were a few years old, but at that price who gives a shit?

Sisters wifey had the day off so I took her shopping for some stuff.
Along the way we met two Brits. The three of them struck up a conversation while I got to make their baby giggle.
They talked about why they left the country because they, like Summer, have no faith the UK can be saved at this point. Still don't know if they're happy with the elections there or not, only that they feel safer here than there now.

So we've expanded our horizon. Upgraded from a 42 inch TV to 55 inches. I know there's bigger, but then I'm used to lacking in size. :facepalm:
It was an adventure for an old guy in his 70s. Had to move a. bunch of crap out of the way, scoot two heavy cabinets over an inch so the larger screen would fit. Then there were wires to hook up, in a cramped space that had me looking at everything upside down.
Finally all is hooked up and in it's proper place. Yes! The set turned on. The TV spoke to me and guided me through basic set up.
Now the fun part. We use TiVo as DVR and all cable and internet run through the unit. So to operate everything, I needed to pair the TiVo remote to the new TV. Finally found proper code, took care of adjusting other settings and we are in business! :D
Glad I'm old. With luck I'll die before I have to do this again.

Finished my son’s senior yearbook ad, which was nice. Then drove out to the Hill Country and bought a few pounds of slow smoked Texas BBQ... brisket, ribs, sausage. Family is fed and will probably watch some Christmas movies tonight.

Little brothers mom: I know. But I'm sure you will be Flattered to know you're his favorite. He has every picture of you from your Instagram ready to go.
Me: Who's his second favorite?
Little brothers mom: pretty sure it's your mom. Then Suki. Then Missy. Then your sister and Summer. And Lauren of course. Has you all in folders. As you know, not the first time I've caught him with just the two of you.

Apparently that Mary Sue girl is related to the evil wrinkled old guy emperor, and he's still alive somehow I guess and at the end she calls herself a Skywalker.
Wifey was absolutely furious. "It just means that in the end the emperor won and supplanted the skywalkers with his own family."

Me: That's always been the case.
Wifey: I know. And I love you for suffering through them for me.
Me: Awwwwww. You're so kinda welcome.
Wifey: Will you go with me this last time? I'll let you make fun of it as much as you want and I won't say anything. If the reviews are true, I'll probably join in.
Me: I would never pay to watch that garbage, but I'll do it for you.
Wifey: Do you think Lauren will want to go?
Me: She's stuck in a wheelchair the rest of her life, let's not cause her any more misery.

Hummm....sand. I remember first time we went to Mexico and the beach. Lots of sand in the water as the waves came in. After, I had sand in places where I didn't even know I had places. :facepalm:
Guess if it made your day then that's not what you're talking about. So, go ahead leave us hanging and guessing. :D

Me: Apparently there's girls kissing girls in the new star wars movie.
Wifey: Great. Gotta pander to the gay community.
Me: You're gay, so they're pandering to you.
Wifey: They're pandering to people who will praise it only because two women are making out, they don't care about the story.
Me: So you don't want to see two women making out in star wars?
Wifey: No. I want it to not suck.
Me: You'll get one of those things.
Wifey: Then at least we'll see two women kissing. But it's Disney so I bet they'll be fat, purple haired ugly dykes, so there's even less in it for me.
:emot_laughing:
Good job, Disney, you can't even get a lifelong star wars dorkette who's gay excited for the women making out in your movie. :D

There’s a phrase used in business called ‘normalizing the abnormal’ where you get used to a process that is broken to the point of not trying to fix it.
This would be a case of normalizing the normal.
I see many commercials and shows these days with gay and interracial couples without overtly highlighting the inclusion of gay or interracial couples. I highly approve. It helps to overcome prejudices. The more people see something, the more they become accepting.
It doesn’t need to be agenda driven, it’s just acknowledging this is normal too.

It's called social engineering. Little more than brainwashing really.
In reality most people don't have time to give a shit about corporations pushing agendas on them.

Social engineering makes it sound like how some of the troglodyte conservatives view it, that showing gay or interracial couples is some sort of agenda driven Liberal plot. Sometimes it has a little ‘agenda’ behind it, it’s just not sinister as they view it.
I’ll stop before this has to be broken off into 1408.

My daughters 10th birthday party. We were surprised with a video I made before she was born with me talking to her when she was "grown up enough".
CJ of then and now are so... different. That CJ was just off drugs and almost out of the teen years.
Young CJ: So, I don't know how you're going to turn out but as long as you're better than me in every way I'm cool with it.

She's better than you in every way, younger CJ. She inherited your looks, but thankfully not your IQ. Mission accomplished. :hug:

Celebrated the Solstice with friends from our photo club last night. We started a nice fire in one of the enclosed shelters at the local state park, had hot chocolate and snacks with friendly conversation.
It was also a great top off to my Birthday too. One kind lady did ask how old I was. When I answered 74, she said, "I was thinking maybe 65!" What a sweetie...really knows how to make an old, over the hill guy feel good. Wish my aching old bones would have been listening. :D
Also spent a quiet afternoon watching our favorite Christmas movie, "Die Hard". Nothing like the pitter-patter of automatic weapons fire to get you in the holiday spirit.
I know many of you with be busy with Christmas almost upon us. I wish you and your families the very best of the season and to make it a safe one.

CJ finished all the Xmas shopping. There's more stuff than tree. :roll:
CJ has never, and never will like Xmas. When I was a kid I didn't like it. I like it less now that it costs a fuck lot of money. But I don't get the kids lavish junk that'll be obsolete in 3 months, I get them things they need and stuff they'd like to have. And since they're all angels, it's impossible to ever say they weren't good and didn't earn it.
Also, when I buy them new clothes we gather up all the old and donate. So there's some good that comes of this holiday.

The seven loves her new art supplies. Can't wait to start drawing.
The rest of my babies all got something special along with new clothes. The baby Latina loves her new coat. New tablets for all the kids.
Gave wifey something for her star wars collection, even though she's done with Disney shit.

CJ's conversations with her wifey.
Wifey: Wouldn't "You've got mail" have been a better movie with two girls?
Me: What?
Wifey: If two women met online but each thought the other was the opposite sex and they fell in love online. But then when they finally meet at the end they're shocked, but still decide to love each other and get married and live in New York and live happily ever after.
Me: If they made that movie today that's exactly what would happen except they would never have wanted the other person to be a man or a woman they'd be gay from the start.
Wifey: And be about as attractive as a mail box.
Me: Don't watch that stupid movie ever again.
Wifey: My version is better though, isn't it?
Me: You live with two people who basically lived your plot. That's how my sister met Summer. They met online and fell in love and got married and had a baby and now they have their dream jobs. Did you just rip off their love story?
Wifey: No, but now that you mention it I guess their version is better than mine.

Nothing wrong with the movie at all. Enjoyed it, and I saw all 9 and the spinoffs in the theater at the time of release. Anybody fussing about it just needs to lower their expectations just a tad from ‘mind boggling best ever’ to just another good one in the series.

I just spent a full 24 hours wearing either a bathrobe with nothing underneath, or just nothing at all, including an amazing 4am fuck after Mrs Boast woke up and decided she had to have me right now!!.
FYI, being woken up by somebody gently twirling a fingernail around your arse hole is rather pleasant.

The problem CJ was having with her expensive gaming laptop fans seems to have gone away. They were clicking and buzzing.
I took it apart yesterday, completely air blasted them and checked them, was still getting a buzzing sound from them but they were working. Now today no buzzing and my system temps are at 35 degrees idle. :roll:
$3000 well spent. ;D
And my little brother is like "awesome! You can play fortnite with me tonight!" :emot_banghead: Shoulda kept my mouth shut. :roll:

Had fun on our New Year's day out at Red Lobster.
Dropped the wife close to the door, then found a handicap space. Walked in and no wife. A bright and bouncy young lady came up and asked if I was with the woman who just came in.
I replied, "Was she pretty?"
"Yes", the young lady replied.
"Fine", I said. "I enjoy sitting with pretty women, lead on."
Got to the table and it was my wife. Oh well, can't have everything.
Our waitress was one we've had before. She's a delightful woman from the Philippians who's always smiling and seems ready to burst out laughing anytime.
I told her this was our New Year's celebration and did we get funny hats and noise makers.
"We don't do that here, sir." :facepalm:
She went on to say that she was used to fireworks on New Years. That's how they celebrate in the Philippians.
Great meal and we had a $25 gift card from Christmas, so that covered almost half the bill.
Now we're home. Light snack for dinner tonight and stream some TV until the clock says, "Time for old folks to be in bed." Yep, we've got a clock like that...It's called old folks bodies. :emot_laughing:

New Year’s Eve in Russia is traditionally the biggest holiday of the season. Lots of “small plates“ are prepared. This is called zakuski. We had vegetable salads, mashed potatoes, Olivier salad, roe on toast with butter, homemade rye bread, and the crowning achievement: kholodets. It’s a form of aspic, with chicken and pork congealed inside the gelatinized broth. Topped it off with some champagne, and cupcakes for the kids. Everybody is complaining about stomach aches. So it was a good feast. Happy New Year everyone.

The Vigil
Guess we've got some mice. Last few days, the boy has been spending a lot of time in the basement. Kinda figured he was hunting some little critter. This morning woke to find him on full alert beside the stove. Apparently the hunt has moved upstairs and mousey is behind the stove, where the cat can't get to it. Just wait 'til he tries to move. 8)

My friend has a mouser who likes to bring his trophies inside, through the cat door, and drop them at her feet. The only trouble is, he doesn’t kill them first. So she has three or four live mice in the house that she didn’t have before. It’s called “why I don’t have cats.”

Another year is officially underway.
I got the new 2020 calendars hung yesterday. I uploaded some of my pictures and created my own. Have a "year" of our trip last spring to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota and another featuring Trumpeter Swan pictures I've taken over the years.
Looking at the pristine calendar pages...nothing written in the blank day spaces, soon to be filled with various upcoming events. (for old people that's mostly Doctor appointments :D)
Considering the 2020 date, and seeing the blank days waiting to be filled in, it's sorta like "20-20 foresight" ;D

My plan to go there is in 2021 on the way to Glacier NP. That will also rack up two more states I’ve never visited, North Dakota and ‘wait for it’ Minnesota. As of now, I’ve been to 46 U.S. states. I crossed off Hawaii, Oregon and Washington State in 2018.

Based on my last response, I hope I do more than just drive through Minnesota, as I’m sure there’s lots to see. Would really love to visit Voyageurs NP one day and bring my canoe. Just maybe that will be in 2021.

Wifey: I've made the decision, white girl, you're selling that stupid back to the future car.
Me: I'd rather get a divorce.
Wifey: You'd rather keep that car with all that crap on it than be married to me?
Me: The car was my life long dream.
Wifey: And what was I?
Me: My lifelong nightmare.
The anger intensifies. ;D
Wifey: Either you sell it, or I will.
Me: That would be theft of property. Or grand theft auto.
Wifey: It's just sitting in the garage, covered up and useless.
Me: Because it's winter. I'd never take it anywhere in the winter. Besides, it's a pain in the ass to drive. The only reason to take it out is to see peoples reactions.
Wifey: Get! Rid! Of! It!
Me: Nope. There's plenty of room for everyone else's cars.
Wifey: If you love me you'll sell it and put the money into our retirement fund.
CJ says nothing for at least 30 seconds.
Wifey: I said IF YOU LOVE ME!

No Christmas tree this year as we were not home. 10 days in San Diego. We have had our outdoor lights lit every night since 1 December. Tonight is the last night they will be lit.
On the what made my day aspect — eye specialist told me that I would only need one more set of injections into my eyes. Then some laser treatments to the blood vessels at the back of my eye and done.

Since twisting my ankle in New Mexico 2.5 years ago, I’ve had recurring pain. 3 months ago, the ankle swelled up and the pain become constant, just recurring as bad every few days. After frequent visits to two doctors and collecting CDs of images I referred to as ‘My Ankles Greatest Hits Vol. 1 and Vol. 2’, one doctor finally showed me a small cyst and synovial fluid pooled in places in my MRI. He pulled 3mls of fluid out and using the same needle imbedded about 1.25 inches (pardon my mixing of metric and English units) in my ankle, gave me a cortisone shot.
This morning the swelling was nearly gone, and except for the injection site, so was the pain. Hallelujah!!
It sure was a long road to get there, just wondering how temporary this is and what about the cyst? Took the synovial fluid to the lab today still in the syringe for tests.

CJ's fights with wifey.
Wifey: I read an article about Jay Leno's Delorean being worth $750,000. You have no excuse for not selling yours.
Me: Good for Jay Leno. I'm not selling it.
Wifey: We could auction it off. You'd get a fortune for it. The stupid thing lights up and makes sound effects and all that other crap it does.
Me: Tell ya what. You sell all your star wars shit, even that vintage crap that's actually worth money, and agree to never make we watch any movie past present and future ever again and you never ever ever say those two words again and I'll sell it. I'll sell it to the highest bidder.
Wifey: We're talking about YOU giving up something worthless, not me giving up something important to me.
Me: Ah, I see, it's ok to take something I want away from me but not from you.
Wifey: I could sell all my star wars stuff and it wouldn't be worth what you could get for that car.
Me: You have toys that are worth thousands of dollars, I looked it up. A stupid Bobafeet action figure could sell for like $2000.
Wifey: Stop saying star wars things wrong on purpose. You clearly know what they're called because you looked them up.
Me: You're valuing my property, I can value yours.
Wifey: My property is off limits. Yours however is a waste of space and has to go.
Me: Oh really? Isn't it convenient that you forget who owns this house we all live in and all your star wars junk is safely kept? My mom bought it, I own half of it. Which means if I wanted to take all your star wars junk and toss it out into the streets I could do it. So let's shut up about what white girl can and can't have in the home she owns fifty percent of. There will be no selling of white girls property. There will be no further discussion of what white girl can and can not have in and on her property.
Wifey: I should consider selling you.
Me: Another thing you think you own but are very mistaken.

I suffered a lot with a bad knee. After I got it replaced and a few weeks of healing up, no pain. Been a bit over 10 years now.
I will probably need my left knee done at some point. My mom has had both replaced.
I first noticed the issue with my left knee on the 4th hiking day of a 3 night backpacking trip about 5 years ago. Coming down off the mountain with my gear on my back, I realized any big step down had to be onto my right foot, because when I tried my left, my left knee felt like it was going to give out. But that was before my right ankle began having problems; now it goes first on hikes.

You were never really a whore Chirp. That implies a voluntary decision beginning in adulthood to engage in transactional sex. The compulsory reward versus punishment situations you were subjected to by a thoroughly evil man that lingered into your adulthood were never your fault. That it took some time to shed that part of your life is not surprising, but shed it you did. And being a bit hypersexual is common for those that experienced sexual trauma; that you embrace how you are now is actually wonderful (and fuck him).
And while you look for love and emotional attachment with women, it’s also unsurprising you still crave a cock once in a while. And I have no doubt you truly have superb cocksucking skills. I just wish it was me with your dumb blonde hair twisted in my fists while humping your face and filling that warm cotton candy mouth of yours.

I actually don't. I never wanted to get married. Least of all to the person who left me when I needed her the most and helped me spiral into drug abuse and being suicidal.

CJ wanted to do a full Ghostbusters filming location tour. Didn't get to. :facepalm:
But, CJ is going back to New York next Summer. :D Right around... July. ;D Ghostbusters tour and see the new movie in New York! ;D Oh, and visit friends I guess. I dunno, if we have time.

My little brother got a serious piece of shit laptop from one of his extended family. They didn't want it, so they gave it to him for Xmas. Obviously he has no use for it since I gave him an 8GB GPU gaming laptop. Apparently it only cost $50 on black Friday. :emot_laughing:
He said it's a real piece of junk that barely does anything. So he was ready to literally throw it out.
Till I told him to bring it over and we'll see what magic his big sister can do with it. So I tried using Batocera on it, which is basically a retro video game emulator operating system. And it worked fine. LibreELEC also ran fine. So he can use it for retro gaming, or as an entertainment center. Not that he really needs it, but he could.
So CJ turned a piece of garbage into something useful for her little brother today. ;D

The sevens cat acted like something really bad happened to her. It pawed at her bedroom door, thinking she was inside. Then it sounded like it was crying. Wouldn't leave the door all day. I don't get it. That cat sleeps snuggled with her every night, knows she was perfectly fine this morning but it was acting like something awful happened to her. I kept telling it "Kay will be home later today" but it would just look at me with the saddest look on its face.
Then when she got home, the cat ran right to her and demanded to be picked up and held. Acted like she was never going to see her again.
Cats are weird. :roll:

Now they're snuggled up under covers and off to sleep. The dog also sleeps in her room.
She loves animals, and animals love her. I guess that's the only explanation. But sometimes the dog will travel at night, almost like checking on all the kids. But always heads back to the seven for snuggles.

I got a lot of sexy grandmas. Which is good, if you like sexy grandmas. I’ve done match.com, ourtime.com, and a free trial on eHarmony.
Let’s face it. Most people after a certain age are single for a reason. I encountered skanks, bitter divorcées, and alcoholic pill poppers. Which one was I you ask? But I digress. There was one hot Latina who really wanted to fuck, but she was a lousy kisser and mentioned getting married on the first date. Ain’t nobody got time for that. And she was primary care provider for her two elderly parents. I really need someone to be my primary care provider, so I didn’t appreciate the competition for scarce resources.

Got out of the house for a few hours today. Headed up north on a "cheese run". A couple here know what that means. ;D
It is good to get away from the house on my own once in a while. Wife has the TV on 24/7...gets tiresome and I usually retreat into an audio book.
On the way to Wisconsin, I stopped by a camera repair place I heard about a couple of months ago. Got my sensor on the camera cleaned. Lots of dust spots were showing up on my photos and have to spend extra time in Photoshop making them go away. Guy took care of it in just about 15 minutes. I consider it $50.00, well spent.
Then on to the cheese store. We stocked up for a couple months. So much tastier than the factory crap you find in the grocery stores.

CJ's conversations with her children.
CJ's 7 year old: Mommy, can I have a Mandarin duck?
Me: No. What's a Mandarin duck?
CJ's 7 year old: The prettiest bird, um, duck in the whole world!
Me: No, you can't have a duck. We've talked about not turning this house into an even bigger zoo. You have enough animals already. Enough is enough.
CJ's 7 year old: Mom!
Me: No!
CJ's 7 year old: Please!?
Me: No amount of begging is going to get you a duck. Where would you even keep it?
CJ's 7 year old: I don't know. The pool?
Me: I'm not turning our pool into an aquarium.
CJ's 7 year old: I can't wait to grow up so you can't tell me what animals I can and can't have.
Me: Odds are you'll end up living here anyway, just like everyone else. And by the time you're that grown up, I'll still own half this house which means I can still tell you what animals you can and can't have.

Local pet food store held the monthly cat claw clipping clinic today. Our kids were due. I dreaded to ordeal of stuffing the little fur-balls in their carriers. Once we get the first cat bagged, the second runs for cover.
The girl was on the table, so wife held her while I went for carriers. Popped the girl in hers and went looking for the boy. Found him still sound asleep. Gently picked him up and into the carrier he went.
Drove to pet store...cats meowing their displeasure all the way. Ended up first in line, pedicure s completed and back home.
After scorning us for awhile, all is back to normal in the house...cats still in charge, naturally.

Another "cat" day for us. Yesterday was pedicures for our two.
Today we'll be attending the annual cat show that's part of St. Paul's winter carnival. It's fun seeing all the pampered pussies, and watching the judging. So many breeds involved, it's great fun.
After that, we go to the park next to the arena complex and view the ice sculptures. Fantastic designs including large, complex creations using multiple blocks, and smaller single block carvings. Temps just below freezing, so they should hold up ok.
Camera will being along, so maybe some pics will be posted tomorrow. Everyone loves looking at pussy pictures, right. ;D

CJ was astonished to discover wifey has a secret relationship with CJ's kids.
Wifey has, seemingly, not had much to do with my kids. She's a great mom to her daughter, but otherwise she hasn't had much to do with mine. She doesn't change diapers, she doesn't even seem to really talk to the girls.
But CJ was completely wrong. :roll: I always assumed my mom would change the babies diapers for me sometimes, but that's not the case. Because I caught wifey doing it and being sooooo sweet to the baby. She's held her, but I've never seen her really interact with her. But I was wrong.
Then I find out she and the seven "talk all the time about stuff". My daughter told me "Suki and I always talk... usually about you." :emot_weird:
Like... what in the fuck!? I know I'm not around them 24/7, but since the fuck when has she had a relationship with the other kids? I always assumed she wasn't interested. But apparently I was completely wrong. I, on the other hand, have always had a strong bond and relationship with her daughter. I've always considered her to be one of mine.
:facepalm:
I never said she shouldn't have contact with them, I just assumed she didn't want to. It completely changes how I view her now. :roll:

"No," she said, It's just lights, but he loves it.
When I took the shot the owner said, "Now you've taken a Dick picture." I almost said something about not the first time, but kept myself in check. (for once)

2 Proud moments.
Just realized it has been 58 days since my last pop. Or as most others call it, Soda. This is a huge accomplishment because I love Diet Coke. LOVE
Also, I have not missed a scheduled workout since early December. I exercise with weights or another method every other day. I love my new TRX system that Dan got me for Christmas. Not a surprise gift, I asked for it. If he had given it to me without me putting it on my Christmas list, he would have been in trouble because I would take it as him saying I'm fat and out of shape.

I remember being at a Grateful Dead show at Pine Knob in Michigan a couple decades ago and some guy asked me if I had any pop. I thought it must be a drug I never heard of and told him no, and that I didn’t know what that was. I did have some soda in my cooler.

I think the worst of my illness is behind me. About 4pm yesterday, it was like a switch flicked and I suddenly felt 90% better. It was like a 72 hour flu.
My joints are still a little stiff. My head is still a little groggy. My nightmares and very strange dreams continued last night, probably from the meds I was taking.
What I'm not happy about is my laptop is not playing nice. I am borrowing Dan's laptop and it's just not the same.

Watcher knows of one joint on him that is always stiff.... ;D ;D But nice to hear you are pretty much back to normal.

I think the worst of my illness is behind me. About 4pm yesterday, it was like a switch flicked and I suddenly felt 90% better. It was like a 72 hour flu.
My joints are still a little stiff. My head is still a little groggy. My nightmares and very strange dreams continued last night, probably from the meds I was taking.
What I'm not happy about is my laptop is not playing nice. I am borrowing Dan's laptop and it's just not the same.
Glad to hear you are on the mend Jules. The one time I had the flu in 1998, it was 3 horrid days of sweating and chills that suddenly broke on day 4. Hoping you rapidly recover from here on out.

The freeze didn’t kill the fruit trees. Blooms and buds all look healthy.
We probably take in no more than a bushel or two of fruit per year, yet here I was debating with wife last night, about whether to spend $80 on freeze blankets to wrap the trees. “Do you know how much fruit $80 will buy?”
She has no concept of cost/benefit. To her, the trees are her babies. She took beds sheets from the linen closet, and wrapped the trees herself. I love her.

A young lawyer sent me a message yesterday, “How did you become the perfect dad?” He and his wife are expecting their first, and he sees my frequent social media posts about my kids.
I replied: My father only said “I love you” to me one time in my life. And that was only after I dared him to it. “I don’t think you know how.” So he did, half heartedly. I tell my kids every day I love them. Sometimes the worst examples can be the best teachers. We’ve always been readers, debaters, and have had a lot of fun over family meals. I guess I got lucky. I certainly have two of the best kids in the world.
Of course after sending that reply, I had to send my kids a Snap: Just wanted to remind you both that I love you. And I am very proud to be your father. You are the best sons a man could ask for.
To which my youngest replied: “Is everything okay dad? I love you.”
Just feeling very lucky and blessed over coffee.

watching my sister and her wifey argue over who's accent their daughter will end up with. Her mommies British, or my sisters American.
But they both agreed "Not like CJ's". :emot_laughing:
It's kinda true that sometimes I'll talk like my normal dumb blonde self, then for some reason I put on a "seductive" kinda tone. It's hard to explain but I'll start out sounding normally like when I ask "so, what do you think we should have for dinner?" But then I'll sound all sexy for some reason if I said "how about pizza?". :roll:
Like I said, hard to actually explain. But I think they're right not to want the kid to talk like a dumb blonde/slut anyway ;D CJ is a bad example. I can make something as innocent as caring for a booboo suddenly sound perverted when I certainly don't intend it. :roll:

CJ got a late valentine from one of my neighbors daughters. She apologized because she didn't have time to give it to me yesterday.
It was just a piece of paper and a picture I took with her back in October. It was so sweet. I had to put it on display. Next time she visits she'll get to see where I put it. :D
So CJ got a hug, kiss on the cheek and a sweet note and picture for valentines day. Not that my tribe wasn't also sweet and all that, she's just kinda special because we're not related. And I gave her something nice too. ;D

Other than feeling like she's been hit by a semi, doing fine. Sent video of her dog coming home from kennel. Joyous reunion!
Her daughter in law has helped a lot.
Hope to go down for a visit, after she's feeling stronger.

Sounds like one of the Bassets I took to the dog park. Ruby would splash through the puddles and jump in the swamp. Gus would go around the puddles and only time he'd go in the swamp was when chasing another dog. He liked staying clean.

I don't know if it's a What Made My Day moment. But I got a good laugh out of it.
My computer has been having issues. So I use Dan's and I am liking it more because it's a big keyboard and not a laptop.
Soooo, I had to go to the bathroom. Thinking I'd be right back, I didn't log off of KB. Dan was out on a 5 mile run and I didn't think he'd be back for a bit. While I was in the bathroom he walked in. He decided to check his mail. When the screensaver disappeared, Dan was presented with this this post http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=11106.msg513237#msg513237
"Something you want to tell me," he asked when I reentered the room and that image was on the screen. I just laughed.

I totally forgot to mention this. The other night, Dan went to a wild game dinner fund raiser for a fire department that raises money for scholarships and stuff. His old boss at Chrysler bought a table and invited him. He said the food was great. The other thing about the night is they have gun raffles. He won two pistols. He's already picked them up and we're planning on going to the shooting range either tomorrow or Saturday. He's keeping the bigger gun. Some Glock. And he gave me the other one which is similar to my previous gun that I got from my brother in law, except a little smaller. CZ-P10c can't wait to fire it.

Busy day, kind of stressful, but had a nice quicky at lunch. Was just warm enough in the car to be comfortable. Had told him on my first break it was going to be a busy day, i took a later lunch so he could stop by.
I always feel dirty, or whorish after when I'm back in work talking to customers and coworkers. Walking around with his cum inside me. Even when I can't feel it anymore, I can still feel it.

Good for you Shiela. I need to dump a load inside a girl real soon, need to talk to someone about that this weekend. If there was a chance of getting knocked up, I’d be busier than toe.

He can't explain why he likes it other than an excuse for us to play together. Which is sweet, but that game is absolutely mind-numbingly boring. :roll:
When he and his mom come for dinner tomorrow I'm hiding the gaming laptops I didn't spend thousands of dollars on. :roll:
We can spend time talking about the girls in school who think he's super cute, and that one boy who dresses like a girl and looks like a girl who has a serious crush on him. But then again maybe playing games is a better way for us to spend time together online so I don't mercilessly tease him about all that. ;D And teasing him about his "folder". :roll:

It’s a ten year old post. I changed the ages to meet new guidelines. Plan to add a disclaimer. We don’t usually do that, but after it being around for ten years, it’s poor policing on our part.

While at work I met a very old man. He recently had to move because they were going to tear down his apartment building. Looking at the man I could clearly tell there was no way the man could move himself out of his apartment. He walked with a cane and walked very slowly and stiffly.
So I asked the man how he accomplished that. He told me that when the police showed up for the eviction they could tell why he hadn't moved. So they got 5 squad cars and several officers, and even rented a u-haul and moved him to his new apartment. One police woman even spent the next day with him unpacking his stuff.
Made me feel real good to know the police went above and beyond the call of duty to help an old man!
At my last job I worked with many law enforcement folks, and I have to say the Tucson Police department has many fine men and women. It really should not have surprised me they would do this.

Made a "cheese run" to Wisconsin yesterday. Our favorite wildlife refuge is near there too, so went for a quick drive through it.
Saw several Swans sitting on the ice, already staking out nesting areas. Ran into another photographer and she'd seen a Sandhill Crane already, plus a few ducks and American Coots. About five or six weeks ahead of schedule!
All signs we may actually have a spring this year.

Got a call late Wednesday night and was picked up before midnight. Headed up north to a cabin where I spent a day and half naked or near naked by a fireplace and being catered to. Nonstop drinks. Thurday morning brought eggs, bacon and hashbrowns for breakfast, my favorite lunch combo of grilled cheese and home made tomato basil soup for lunch, and New York strip with asparagus risotto for dinner. Absolutely no regrets because I know I burned all those calories off whenever it was my turn to cater to his needs. How he got his checklist done between all of that is a wonder to me and a huge friggin turn on. love a working man. I've only been home for 2 hours and would sell my soul to go back.

We're doing fine. Still go to the gym in the morning. Lots of room there, as most younger people are staying away. Other older ppl who are regulars still coming.

Paid $ 1.65 for gas yesterday.
The best thing though. I've been contemplating getting a bread maker for a couple of years but have held off because I'd be over carbing. But the girls borrowed their moms bread maker and brought it over last night. Last night they set the machine up to start the process at 4 am.
The house smells so flippin good this morning. I used to LOVE to wake up to my Mr Coffee making coffee in the morning. Being woken to the smell of bread. OMG. I had two still warm slices. The little one wiped out half a loaf with butter and jam.

Several neighbors were across the street socializing, while keeping acceptable distances. I went out and waived. Told them to enjoy their gathering.
I had to warn them tho'..."If you try crossing the street, I'm turning the cats loose!"
Earlier another neighbor put a baggie of Pedialyte packets in everyone's mailbox. She works for the company so no cost. If we get hit, we're ready.
CJ got a box full of SpaghettiOs from my temp job.
Normally I would not give that to the kids, but the way things are going I decided to keep it anyway. But more than likely I'll end up donating it all when this is over. I think it's telling none of the other employees wanted them. :emot_laughing:
No, CJ is not knocking anyone who eats that stuff. My kids will if they have to. But I prefer nutrition over whatever's really in that stuff.

You will get no complaints from me. I generally avoid anything that comes in a can. Except maybe soup. But I’d much rather make a soup from scratch, then have a soup from a can. And those ravioli and spaghetti in cans for the children, why don’t you just give them some chemicals instead? Because that’s all that is in those things.

Last couple years our Minnesota spring was a no-show. I've been looking forward to getting out and photographing the spring migration as the birds return to my favorite wildlife refuge.
When the MN Governor announced a state lock down Wednesday, I told the wife I was heading out before I got locked down. I was pleased to see outdoor activities are allowed, so I'll be free to hit the road, armed with camera and lenses to greet the little birdies...well not so little. Sandhill Cranes are nearly 5 feet tall and Trumpeter Swans largest waterfowl in North America.
Most the ponds and lakes still frozen over, but many birds like Geese and Swans are staking out nesting areas. This is the earliest I've seen the Sandhills return. I saw a lot, but most were too far off the road for good photos. I was really surprised by the number of Bald Eagles I saw, most flying in groups of two or three. I'm thinking many are migrants who are on their way to nesting grounds further north. (https://i.imgur.com/XZWXXUB.jpg)

I ordered groceries online for curbside pickup, for the first time. They made a few substitutions, but (except for paper towels) I got everything I ordered.

Beautiful day today. Sunny and 60. Cleaned out two major flower beds and was able to have my wine out in the sun on the patio. Makes my day.

Wifey's been making "smash burgers" that melt in your mouth at her temp job. She's, of course since she's a pro, taken complete control of the kitchen and reassigned and taught people how to do things right. The owner says he's terrified of this being over because there's no way she's sticking around for the lower pay. Apparently wants to offer her total control of everything if she'd consider staying.
I doubt it very much. But I'm so proud of her for doing what she has to do to make money so we don't have to destroy our savings.

Thanks Vinney, Toe and Staci. Yes it is kinda crazy here though down south where I live the city is not yet in panic mode unlike Delhi. Even though me being a H1N1 survivor puts me in the high risk category I live in a flat in a small colony. So exposure to others is limited to deliberate acts or plain stupidity :D Feelings are running high against the latter sort to be honest and to risk sounding racist coz there are quite a few who insist on gathering for Friday prayers. I really cannot understand how endangering the lives of others can be (any) God's will! Shall pop in more often. Love Vee. PS: Jed, I'm pretty sure after a week of quarantining together we'd end up with one sticking a knife in the other. :emot_kiss:

There are those who insist that their Imaginary Friend is in charge of everything and controls everything. So I ask, “What the fucking kind of Imaginary Friend do you have? Who is killing 60,000+ people with Coronavirus?!?” “Oh, we just don’t understand God’s ways...” “I don’t understand your desperate need to continue believing in Santa Claus.”
We have had so many church members, choir members, even pastors struck down by COVID-19 here recently. God will help those who help themselves. Stay safe. Shelter in.

Oh god no, I only have one toy that'll work like that and I'm not putting it in his booty hole, in fact, I'm not putting anything in his booty hole, I don't give.
We talked a bit and he thought it would be ironic to do it on dog food considering I worked with dogs. He happy it wasnt me that had reported it, but wanted to know who it was. I still don't know. just glad it didn't get any worse or get too out of hand

We went to the store today, just Dan and I. We went to Sam's for a lot of fruit, meat, and other items. We were able to get a 30 pack of toilet paper. 3 security guards and the aisle was a one way. Offered paper towels by one guard, passed. Second guard offered toilet paper, took it. Lastly was offered napkins and kleenex, passed. Exited the other end of the aisle.
We got 4 nice filet mignons for $20. I marinated them in Worcester, pepper, salt, garlic powder for 6 hours. I seared it for 3 minutes on each side and then put it to a cooler portion of the grill for 6 minutes. It was amazing. Salad.
But the best part. After Sam's Club we drove to get gas at BJ's Warehouse and paid $1.12/gallon. put 16 gallons in. $17.92.

You were lucky, MJ.
I went to Sam's Club at 7 am because Tuesday and Thursdays they let seniors in early. I arrived a minute before 7 and there was a line outside that had to be two blocks long. Needless to say, I left. Are people also hoarding food? Why?

Went for a short walk before lunch to deliver more face masks the wife turned out at the request from a couple on the next block. They wanted to pay, with one of the women waving a $20.00. Wife refused and told 'em to pay it forward or if they wanted, donate to the Animal Humane Society.
Neighbors across the street want a set too...two adults and two kid sized masks. Doll clothes fabrication on hold. Fun having a talented wife.
She made me a mask too. I already have hearing aids and my eyeglasses behind my ears. Mask elastic didn't work, just pulled everything loose. She's found a "cowboy" style bandana, so I'm going with that. Just like the old time bandits that held up the Wells Fargo stage in my old cowboy shows.

He's been letting me use his this whole time and when I went to give it back to him he has a new one on his forklift. Told me I can use it for as long as I want, or until it broke. He wont let me buy it from him, just letting me borrow it. Had me crying.

I said yes and with a bit of a blush to her cheeks says "I have seen you the last 3 days, I would like to get to know you."

An Easter like no other. Likely for most of you also.
I was up very early hiding the plastic eggs that were stuffed previously in the week. It was nice enough we could do it outside. I love that the two oldest are willing participants (likely due to the monetary incentives inside some of the eggs). They were running around like a couple of 8 year olds picking up eggs.
Dan made a very good breakfast. Baked eggs in a hole (link) (https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/baked-egg-in-a-hole), (except no cheese or sage like in the recipe) It is his daughters favorites, and now is mine and the little ones favorite. Just something about it that I love so much. I ate two. ;)
The kids then opened their eggs and some candy was traded, and quite a bit eaten.
We went for a walk and soon 4 of the 5 of us were capturing Pokemon. After two hours in the wonderful 55 degree weather, a couple of phones died and we headed back. It was a 3 mile walk and very enjoyable. The youngest wanted to watch Frozen II. After a bit of requests from the other two, I suggested we allow it to play and we'd likely get a nap in. 15 minutes later, we were all enjoying a nap that lasted around 90 minutes.
We had issues getting Filet Mignon like we had hoped and ended up cooking a Tri Tip Steak that I cooked wonderfully, if I do say so. We enjoyed a green bean casserole, cheesy potatoes, roasted mushrooms, maples syrup glazed brussel sprouts. For dessert we had MudSlide that is the girls mother's specialty of which I am a huge fan of. The dessert, not the mom. ;)
And then we sat down and watched Dr Strange. Which was fun to watch. I facetimes with my daddy and his friend in Florida. The girls facetimed with their mom during dessert.
It was one of the best Easters ever.

Well color me jealous of that day MJ. I worked 10 hours at the warehouse then went home and ate half a frozen pizza over the sink like a rat, sent my dad a happy easter text and went to bed. Had to wake up early today because I was forced in. Miss my old job.
But this is a made your day thread and I got a text this morning from jake saying he's coming over tonight. Apparently the phone call we had a few nights ago hadn't really done it for him. I know, I know, we shouldn't be breaking quarantine. In one hand we wont risk getting the other sick, but in the other hand, i could be holding his johnson. There's another one for the name you junk thread.
Been nearly two weeks since the last time I had flesh, some things are worth the risk.

I read about that yesterday and today I was reading an article written by a professor of supply chain management at a large university out East who states that in their quest to lower operating costs, including labor and overhead, more companies have put too many of their eggs in one basket. As a result, disruptions in a single country become even more severe. That also has made them incredibly more vulnerable to disruptions, even minor ones.
His biggest concern is that if the C-19 virus continues to spread throughout the U.S., devastating the ranks of large meat packing plants and other factories and farms, Americans will begin to experience severe scarcity of foods and other goods.

Did you reciprocate? I recall how much you love feet.
Of course there’s other ways to reciprocate.

Got a letter from our insurance company today. They're sending us a $50.00 appreciation check. Reason is with less drivers on the road, accidents are down. Woo to our insurance guys!
That said there was an item in the paper last week. With less traffic, people are speeding more. As a result, fatal accidents were double from same period the year before.

I’m getting that too, $50 plus change back per month this goes on. I think one payment in early May for April and possibly one in early June for May.
And one of the last times I drove someone passed me doing at least 100mph.

Most of the major auto insurers will be rebating 25% of the premiums back to their customers for those premiums that were/are due from March through May.

With the stay at home order in most states, car accidents are way down. I heard (can't find proof anywhere) that insurance companies are saving a combined $8 million a day.

Funny that you put a 'music' item in here today CG, because I was coming here to post one also.
We watched Guarding of the Galaxy yesterday and the opening scene has been in my head all day today. Whenever I bluetooth “Mr. Blue Sky” – Electric Light Orchestra from my phone to the speakers, the girls and I dance like Baby Groot does.

Had a fun day at the wildlife refuge yesterday. All the ice is off, birds settling in to nest and start raising a new generation. Lot of unattached Sandhill Cranes wandering around on their own. As they mature they'll find a mate.
Here's a fine one I spotted close to the road. (https://i.imgur.com/VjWyjBH.jpg)
BTW The cranes are a soft gray color. When they get to the refuge they coat their feathers with the reddish clay, dying them to match their surrounds. Cleaver birds!

I woke up to heavy migraines today, stayed home from work, was served breakfast in bed, spent all day taking tylenol and trying to get sleep. As it got better and the migraine slowly subsided, it was an orgasm that finally made it go away.
Jake's been here for four days and is leaving for home tomorrow, he's taking off just before he starts getting annoying. Actually he ran out of clean clothes and does not like my detergent. Still he's leaving before any big fights happen.

They are elegant birds, unfortunately we wiped ours out 400 years ago
"Cranes were once so common in Britain that 204 were served roasted at a banquet for the Archbishop of York in 1465. Hunting along with the draining of marshlands led to their disappearance as a breeding bird about 400 years ago, until a trio of migrating birds were blown off course in 1979, ending up in Norfolk. Careful protection, reintroduction projects, and some landscape-scale habitat restoration projects mean that there are now around 160 cranes in Britain."

As I understand things, it's exactly because of blood flow.
Many headaches are caused by vasodilation, where the blood vessels in the brain are dilated (expanded) as a natural body response. Coffee drinkers know this feeling. Caffeine causes the blood vessels in the brain to constrict, and the brain naturally dilates the blood vessels in response. When you stop drinking coffee, or don't drink any coffee on a given day, the brain keeps dilating the blood vessels, which causes a headache.
Vigorous activity causes natural blood flow, counteracting the brain's vasodilation. In other words, if you're out of coffee, fucking does the trick.

Not necessarily. It's the orgasms that help. Getting there isn't always the most pleasant. Throbbing head while he's thrusting away... kind of counter productive to the problem.

About three weeks ago a very long time friend of ours developed a cough. Two weeks ago, she was admitted to the hospital where her health steadily declined, no matter what medication the doctors gave her. She had all the symptoms of C-19. After two weeks, she has improved enough to be sent home today. The doctors told her, though, it will be at least a month before her health fully returns. Here was a vibrant woman who was always on the go and now because of this virus, she gets tired just walking around in her home. But she is home with her husband.

Thank you, Joan. Yesterday, per her doctor's order, she went to the hospital to have blood drawn. In order to even enter the hospital, they take one's temperature. She had a slight temperature so she was denied access. Frustrated, she went back home and called her doctor, who then called the hospital. She was finally allowed to have her blood drawn late in the afternoon.

Lucky you. I wish I could set my dad on fire, watch and laugh at him as he burns, then put the fire out before it killed him so he can suffer in unimaginable pain. Then wait a while, set him on fire again, and repeat as many times as possible. :D
Eventually turning him into ash and flushing him into a sewer to be where he belongs.

I agree with you Jed. So many Trump supporters seem to have blinders on and refuse to even consider him anything less than a perfect leader. Hearing that even one person who voted for him has now seen the light gives me hope that others might see through the facade.
How can you tell when Trump is lying? His lips move. ^-^

Barbi Benton is 70 years old. That’s Junior Samples from Hee Haw. We all know you watched it. (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1061/1924/products/Wink_Emoji_2_70x70.png?v=1485573517)
Wow, she is older then me? Think I knew she was in Hee Haw from being Hugh Heffner's girl friend. Other then that, never watched any of those types of shows. I was an inner city youth, not country. ;D ;D

Wifey watching Predator.
"There's more meat in this movie than a slaughterhouse."
This from the gay woman who wouldn't fuck Arny in that movie if you put a gun to her head. :emot_laughing:
Which then made me think about how horrific slaughterhouses are and we need some kind of alternative to meat. :facepalm:

The magnolia tree in our back yard is in full bloom, it is 72 degrees out, sunny with a very slight breeze that has the magnolia scent covering the yard. A glass of wine while sitting on the patio. Made my day. 8)

So Brian came up to me during my first break today. He first apologized again for what had happened then then proceeded to tell me how much he misses hanging out with me and being with me. He wants to take things slow and try to get our relationship back.
I sat quiet and smiled the whole time. I thought about that picture I was going to send him making me smile even more. I'm pretty sure he mistook the smile because he was starting to smile back and when he finally asked if we could give it another try, all i said was, "you can leave now"
That disappointed look that came across his face was so damn satisfying, almost orgasmic ;D

I had a Cannon EOS T7 Rebel that I was very fond of. My ASD child took a photography class and asked if he could borrow it. I was excited he was showing interest in something other than the xBox, so I lent it to him. That was the last I ever saw of it. I don’t know if he hocked it, broke it, or lost it. I have only used my phone for photography for the last 5 years. I really miss it.

I'm use my phone more since I got the Pixel 3 a year and a half ago.
For wild life,g when I need a long zoom lens, then a DSLR is best. Have a few other lenses too depending on what I'm shooting.
More use of the phone...'cause it's always with me.
Saw a signature line on a photo site once:. "The best camera is the one you have with you."

My daughter told me that WE should be spending all this time together. Not me working some shit temp job and her stuck at home. I very honestly wish I could just take her and go. Just the two of us. All Summer if I had my way. :facepalm:
She keeps trying to find excuses for us to be alone together, if only for a minute. :'(
I asked her what would we do if we were away from the family and she said "I don't care what we do, just as long as we do it together." :facepalm: It's impossible to love her any more than I already do.

I had a very nice conversation today with a couple of members, along the lines that we’ve made true friends here. People we can talk to about things we pretty much can’t talk to anyone else about. So you know me better than most anyone. And we enjoy a sense of community, mutual respect, and love. It’s really rare in this day and age. And even more rare on a website devoted to sexual topics, I think. But I have to say, I’ve spent more than a decade here, and some of you know me better than my own family. And you are my friends. And I thank you for being here. This place means a lot to me.

This place will always have a KitKat or a Demon or a Pagan that will liven up the forum and create a flurry of interest. Shiela is the latest (and one of the best). Chirp held her own until she had to go to work outside the home. Remmington added some fun until common sense dictated he slack off or speak up. We all have people on here to stay in touch with and know their woes and joys they have daily. Thank God the name calling and grammar correction, have slowed to a crawl. I see people on here that have been members for ages that do not say anything, just lurk and browse. lol. What would they have to say about this topic. Just as a side Toe, you have changed over all this time and while I am not one of the ones you could have that conversation with, I like the new you.

Last week while we were all walking, there was this corner lot that we walked along side the fence of their back yard. They had a ton of birdfeeders. I loved seeing all the finches. They were everywhere. I actually stopped and watched for a bit, and made a comment that I would like to put up some bird feeders.
Well, I happened to login to Amazon today to check the status on a shirt I purchased. I saw all my mothers day gifts. I will be receiving a hummingbird feeder, a finch feeder, another bigger feeder for larger birds, and a bird watching book. I didn't see any seed there. Hmmm. It's like a kid getting a toy on Xmas morning and there are no batteries in the house.
Seems it's the year of the bird. Or if I rearrange the words a bit: This year is for the birds.
I am so happy.

When work slowed down at the vet clinic I wasnt getting as much exercise and then I got laid off. I ended up gaining 6lbs. I hadn't gotten back on that devil machine until today. I didnt want to because I had been eating like a slow, but thisnjob is very active.
The last two day I was able to get on the roof of my apartment building (don't tell my landlord, he hates it when I go up there) and get a few short hours of sun. Today, I noticed that I was getting my tan back, so being in a good mood about that I stepped back onto my nemesis and oly chit I lost 9 lbs

A woo for you.
Music has that affect on people. My dad couldn't watch me play without getting water eyes (Piano for those that don't know). I have played at Macy's in the mall during the holiday shopping season and there were times I would get emotional seeing the affect my music was having on people observing me.
I played for my father and his friend on Facetime a few weeks ago and his girlfriend told me it was the best thing that she has experienced in weeks.

Currently full-time, when the lockdown ends, it will fit around his college days and could lead to a proper apprenticeship and longer-term career.

Pictures taken with camera get uploaded to the phone too. Not sure if I read it right, but maybe can use the phone to control the camera. New stuff to learn.

Been in a funk the last few days. Journaling, music, and stories went doing it for me. So I decided to clear the panties off the gun case grabbed a box of rounds and headed out to my dad's land. Fired off 5, 7 round magazines. Forgot how much that thing kicked, and I wish it had a better extracting mechanism. Casings dont always go the same way every time. My grip got tired otherwise I would have done some more. I feel a lot better.

The Blue Angels flew nearly over our house yesterday. We were wondering why people were standing on the corners when we were pulling onto our driveway. In today's paper, it said that the Blue Angels took off from Pensacola in the morning, flew up and over Detroit, then Chicago and over Indianapolis on their way back to Pensacola, having never landed. The planes refueled mid-air six times.

Since our tribes Summer vacations to New York and Canada were cancelled, we're going to spend the Summer with my grandparents. But that's only if things can go back to normal soon. If not, CJ and wifey are staying behind to continue our TEMP jobs that thanks to the billionaire balloon just might become permanent. The kids are ready for horseback riding, swimming, and the 8 can't wait to help grandpa with the animals and horses.
So as long as the kids are happy, CJ is happy. They had an awesome time there last year while CJ was at home with a new family member and I got to see all this pics and videos they made. So hopefully they'll have as much fun there this year. With my grandma spoiling them.

We went by the high school to pick up seniors’ caps & gowns today. A long line formed, that started a quarter mile from the school’s entrance. All of the teachers lined the road with signs and words of encouragement. There were balloons, recorded music, even dogs. We rolled down the windows and my son got to speak with all of the teachers he has not seen in more than 60 days. Dad got teary eyed. Covid19 has been so unfair to the kids, and the teachers. Realized today how much some of them miss their students.

You're right about that. High school seniors for the most part are missing out on the trifecta of impending adulthood. They will have stories to tell for the rest of their lives.
1. 18th birthday 2. Senior Prom 3. Graduation
Most (but not all turn) 18 sometime during senior year. I wasn't 18 until a week before I started college, almost 3 months after graduation. I never had any interest in prom.

What is even worse then not being able to hold graduation ceremonies for high school seniors is that many of them aren't even sure they will be able to physically attend the colleges of their choice come this Fall. The State of California have already said their will be no students on campus this Fall.
There have been many drive by graduation parades and birthday celebrations in our neighborhood.

We are at our cabin which doesn't have internet or cell phone reception. We drove into town and while Dan is getting groceries I figured I would check in since I went AWOL the other day. It was all at a moments notice and once we decided to go, we were out the door in 30 minutes. Just Dan, me and our youngest. The other two stayed home and are at their moms house.

A+ day today. The new camera and I headed up to my go to wildlife refuge. Lots of the birds are seculuded and nesting. Did see several broods of Canada Geese. I always marvel at how protective the parents are.
Camera is performing well. I need to adjust to a little different grip from what I was used to. Too many pics ended up blurred from camera shake (Shakey camera man). Still got lots of good ones. Will post some tomorrow.
Got home in time for the wife and I to go to a friend's back yard where several of us got together for the first time since stay at home order went into effect. We stayed 6 feet apart, so safe get together. So good to see everyone again, other than on Zoom.

Was able to get out and golf for the first time this year. 8) Had the whole course to myself since all the rain we have had created many ponds where there were none before. It was a wet round but towards the end the sun began to shine. And I was pleased with myself as to how I played, since the governor mandated no practice facilities are to be allowed.

So I may have never mentioned it here, but I have a "Muslima" BFF. Known her since forever. She's insists on wearing a Hijab, despite the fact her father disapproves. Her mother stopped a while ago. But she wears it not because of any reason other than... she thinks it makes her look even cuter. She's hot already, but she really has a CJ level ego. :roll:
But anyway, she's all into fashion and makeup and all that. She color coordinates everything. She has a pink mask to go with her pink Hijab. She came to visit me at my temp job and at first she tried to make it seem like it wasn't her, but it couldn't have been anyone else. "How could you tell?" Oh, I don't know, the Muslim woman obsessed with fashion and an immense ego. How many of those are in this city? :roll:
My point is... and I'm kinda ashamed to say it, but she looked really...... really......... really sexy. :facepalm: I mean, I couldn't see her face but those pretty eyes surrounded by pink. :emot_thdrool:
CJ wants. I want to unwrap her and... do unholy things to her. :roll: I guess she's right, all that does make her more desirable because I haven't been able to stop thinking about her. :facepalm:

I agree Chirp. Muslim women can look hot. I've seen some very attractive ladies in well coordinated outfits with matching hajabs.
I remember being in the VA hospital a few years ago and one of my nurses matched her hajab with the scrubs she was wearing that day. One day she was all in pink...so hot. Also it was her eyes I was drawn too. Her beauty shone through those lovely orbs. :D

It is official , I guess, as far as official declarations go, KB is my "internet husband". Jake says I spend too much time here and not enough time paying attention to him and his ridiculous shows he wants me to watch. I told him there are women here too that I get along with, but he believes it's just for the attention of them men.
If he has a problem with it he can always go get a girlfriend and stop sniffing around me.
I really do love it here, becoming an participating members one of my better decisions I've made in recent years. I joined to just share stories, but it seems that has taken a back burner. No regrets.
Anyways, if that "internet husband" thing is true, I would say that only one of you guys truly gets that label. :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss:

It is official , I guess, as far as official declarations go, KB is my "internet husband".
Dan knows I'm here and he realizes why this is part of my social life. He's accepting of it. When I first made him aware of it, I didn't tell him it was a sex forum. I explained to him that an online forum was the easiest way of communicating with people, and he understood that. Yahoo Euchre lounge was my hangout for many years. Playing cards and chatting in the lounge area. I left there and joined a pet fish online community. It slowly died. Then I found KB. It was about 4 months into our relationship when I explained to Dan what KB was about. He was definitely shocked, but I shared with him what I do here and the interactions I have with others. A couple of months later I let him in on some of my interactions with my internet love (Toe) and it took a bit for him to wrap his head around it. I share some things with Dan about Toe, but not everything. And similarly another. Dan will even sit beside me as we have the TV on in the evening as I'm going through KB on my laptop.

Outside with the cats this afternoon. There's a breeze causing the "helicopter" maple seeds to come spinning down.
As a kid, I loved picking them up to drop them and watch 'em spin to the ground. :D
As a 74 year old man, I still love picking them up and dropping them so I can see 'em spin. :D
As a kid, I loved throwing as many as my little hands could hold up into the air and watch them spin to the ground.

On a similar note regarding wine, when the little ones are eating grapes they will usually ask me if I want some. I tell them I drink my grapes, not chew them. ;D
As for those annoying "helicopters" that inundate our yard every year at this time, I have both the dry, light colored ones and the dark green type. I fill up buckets with them. Lucky it is getting towards the end for the seeds to drop.

My neighbors daughter, who's in love with me, does not want to spend the summer with her family. She wants to spend it with CJ. But CJ told her that's an absolute NO. Her mommy has say, not me. But she said her mommy doesn't want her to complain all Summer about taking her away from me. :D
Title: Re: What made your day today?/100 Happy Days
Post by: ChirpingGirl on May 30, 2020, 12:41:25 AM
Wifey sat me down and told me she's decided NOT to go back to her normal job. At first they wanted her back as soon as possible, now it's "Maybe not right away" then it was an excuse to lower her pay significantly because they've lost so much profit. They apparently sounded very snotty and dismissive towards her. Counter that with her temp job where she's made friends, taken complete control of the kitchen, got the owners horrified of her leaving and them offering her more money to stay. They haven't had a complaint since she took over, except when she's not there and someone she hasn't worked with fucked up. It's not far away as opposed to the other place. She can get from the temp and back in maybe 10 minutes or less when she had to go through traffic to the other one.
So wifey decided to stay and use her education and skills to be head chef at her now normal job. The owners wife apparently started crying when she said she'd stay. They had no idea what they were going to do for Summer as it's an insanely busy time for them. The pay cut isn't even that dramatic, she can make a lot of it up on saving gas money. She said she's way happier there, and that's all that matters. The owners want her to do whatever she wants to do and improve their menu, which she's already done and people loved.
CJ is super proud of wifey. It's important she be happy and enjoy what she does, which I honestly don't think she did with the fancy as fuck hoity toity rich fuck place.
I guess it worked out for the best. :D

Another day brightener, sorta. As I sat working on my Sunday crossword, someone came up the front steps.
A mailman...on a Sunday! He delivered a package with one of my prescriptions. I chatted with him and he said the post office for our Zip code had been burned. I knew the pukes had destroyed several delivery vehicles, but nothing was said about the building. I'd hoped it had been spared, but it was in the center or earliest rioting, near the police station that had to be abandoned.
Our mail is now being handled at the large main post office. I was told they stopped shipping mail to our post office on Wednesday. Most of our mail may still get to us.
Regular delivery starts tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the bulk trash pick up. We only have two of those a year. So like it or not, I had to spend the day sorting items in the closets, the yard shed, and the garage. A mountain of stuff went to the curb, and I only handled about half of it.
Update: I got up early, and sort of hung around the curb. We got everything out to the trash, and all of it was picked up. When they did the bulk waste pick up, I went out and thanked the men. I feel like I’ve lost about 500 pounds. I did. 500 pounds of garbage.

Here in Minneapolis we can sometimes have four city trucks going down our alley on "trash day" There's the garbage, organics (waste food and paper towels) for composting, recycling is every other week. And from spring to late fall yard waste is picked up for composting.
In addition large items like appliances can be set out and will be picked up by another truck the next day. Electronics like TVs and printers can be set out on the weeks recycling is picked up, but again another truck comes the next day.

Barber shops and hair salons, along with manicurists, are still closed in New York state, and they will remain closed for at least another 3-4 weeks.
I began getting my hair colored about five years ago, and when the shutdown started, I went about two months without touching it. I'm not as gray as I thought I might be, but there was still a lot of gray. So, I went to Walgreens, bought a box of hair color, and colored it myself (and if you don't color your hair, you'll be astonished by how many different shades of brown there are!). My hair now looks exactly like I colored it myself.

My Russian wife insists on coloring her own hair. Russians are notoriously thrifty, and only the Mafioski can afford professional colorists back home.

The birds dive bombing on the flying cicadas reminds me of those aerial dogfights from WW I movies. Heck with worms and such, the birds are having a feast for the week or so it lasts.

Our area gets the 17 year brood X next year. It will be my 4th time experiencing this. They are great for fishing, hooked through the back they’re heavy enough to cast unweighted, buzz around on the water like a fish magnet and the fish become intimately familiar with this irresistible abundant food.

Woo Hoo! Our Governor is allowing gyms to open June 10th.
I'll be able to get slim and trim again. Soon I can post a pic here of my six-pack...of Diet Coke, that is.
I have felt the effects of not working out. I really feel my arthritis in the joints, in spite of doing some walking and stretching.
Oh yeah... there's hot women in Spandex at the gym too. ;D

There was a competitive game of "Thumper" going on and an impromptu live band when I got the call.
That's what CJ wants to fucking hear! ;D That and "we don't need you here." :D

Two Russians? Was it in a row? I didn’t know that. And I thought I was bad only marrying women from countries beginning with the letter P.

Not having to post in the "Can't Sleep Thread"
I went to bed at 10:30. I woke up for a moment at 4:50 and said to myself, "Please no". I cuddled up spooning behind Dan and fell back to sleep. I woke up at 7:30.
9 hours of sleep for me last night.

Went to cemeteries today bearing flowers, 2 hours one way (yeah, a grave visit can make your day). It had been a year since we visited the graves of my father, grandparents and uncle.
Just prior, we stopped at an old log cabin that had been my in my mother’s family. It had been restored several years ago and rented out. I got no clue the shape it’s in now inside, we didn’t linger as the property is not in the family anymore. Had a picnic lunch on my truck’s tailgate after backing up an old railroad grade, then proceeded to the cemetery, left flowers, took some pics to send to family much further away than us and left.
For the last 25 years or so, every couple years, I’ve tried to find the graves of my maternal grandparents in a different, very old and large cemetery. My mother knows where they are, but she’s never with me. I must have looked a dozen times even though I was at my grandmother’s funeral in 1978. I could never find them. With that in mind, we tried again. I park and get out. My Peruvian asks for the 10th time how to spell their name, then we split up about 10 yards apart. I look at about 5 headstones just to hear her ask, ‘Is this them?’ It was.
Interesting fact about the cemetery. It was in scenes from the original zombie movie, ‘Night of the Living Dead’, George A. Romero, 1968.
So we had to drive back to a flower store and get more flowers and return. This time I knew where the graves were.
On the way back we stopped at a little market, jams, baked goods and such. I like things cooked with peaches, so pick up a small jar of peach butter. I wanted a peach pie, but was told it was too much and she wouldn’t eat any. So I suggested the peach bread, still too big and she wouldn’t eat any, and I shouldn’t eat all of that. She goes on and on about how we shouldn’t eat any of that, and she definitely isn’t having any. So, I finally was able to get a peach muffin a third the size of the peach bread.
All of us wearing masks, the checkout girl says $14.67. My Peruvian is reminding me incessantly to do exact change if I can (so I don’t touch any viral loaded bills and coins). I dig out a $10 and count out 4 $1s. Digging past 3 sets of keys trying to get a fews coins to cling to my fingers, I rummage around making my fingers claw up a fews coins out of many I know are in my pocket and bring up exactly 2 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel and 2 pennies. I stare at exactly 67 cents in disbelief for a couple seconds, laugh and hand it over.
15 minutes down the road I look over and my Peruvian is eating MY peach muffin.

As an amateur genealogist, I have visited many cemeteries looking for my ancestors. I know it sounds hokey, but I meditate upon arrival, and call out to the ancestor asking for assistance and request they guide me to their grave. More often than not, I have walked straight to it. Except for my great grandfather, fucker. He took hours.

Except for my great grandfather, fucker. He took hours.
I did that with my grandfather as a boy in cemeteries in Upstate NY and in Rhode Island, looking for ancestors. I know the small towns to look again, but could be hard to find. Some of the graves in NY has been sodded over back when we looked 50 years ago, so probably much harder to find now.
I’ll need to do the online genealogy thing soon. Might be graves in Michigan I could find ancestors too, paternal grandmother’s family. I also need to ask my mom about which cemeteries in PA to look. I recall going to funerals there, just was a boy.
About my only ‘meditation’ was stopping at my dad’s grave as a teen and giving him a sip of my beer.
So I looked up the Night of the Living Dead film locations. My town with the cemetery is actually mentioned in the movie as part of a radio broadcast, but I could find no reference to them filming there. It was something I’d heard many times, and that a cemetery in a nearby small town was used too. It could be true as minor film locations, but could more likely be a local legend from my youth. It’s a cool cemetery regardless, hilly with ancient trees and many graves over 150 years old. Birth dates from 1700’s, although many stones are impossible to read they are so old.

Heart pounding excitement at our household this morning. I was out with our two cats early, before the heat set in. The female went to the neighbor's yard and laid in the grass just a couple feet off our sidewalk.
She'd gone Sphinx-like and was staring straight ahead at the bushes under neighbor's front window, several feet away. Without even a twitch, she lay there, committed to whatever she sensed/smelled was over there.
I stepped away to talk with the neighbor on the other side of us. Looking back, I saw the girl had moved over to the edge of the bushes, walking back and forth on the sidewalk. She'd been sitting still for nearly 15 minutes before moving.
Now, the boy joins her. I watched as they actually put their heads together, as if sending a message brain to brain. Soon, into the bushes they went and disappeared. In a few minutes, out runs the girl...mouth full of a small Chipmunk. She headed down our walk by the side of the house, heading for the open backdoor. I went in the front door, racing to the back and caught her still on the sidewalk. Her usual plan is to bring a live critter into Mom and drop it at her feet. I got her to drop the little fella while still outside.
Several minutes later, two of the neighbor kids from up the street stopped by with their nanny. They were both petting Neville, something he only tolerates from a few people. Finally one of them approached him too fast and away he ran. I continued to visit with the nanny, when I saw the boy stalking something. Yep, the chipmunk. It broke cover and *pounce* Neville had it and quickly took it into the house. I caught up with him and with critter still in his mouth, I got the cat out on the back porch where he let go of his prey and *zippp* into the house ran the chipper. :facepalm:
Neville re caught it a few times and each time I tried to get them out of the house the little rodent got away, still in the house. It found sanctuary under the radiator in the office where the cat couldn't reach it.
It was decided to just wait and hope one of the kittys' would recapture and we could remove it.
After several minutes of calm, the wife's son who was visiting called out saying the chipmunk was in the bathroom wastebasket. I ran in, covered the wastebasket with a newspaper and outside we when. Dumping the basket out on the sidewalk, Mr. Chipmunk ran off as fast as it's little legs would go. At the speed it was moving, it looked like no harm was done, even after being caught several times.

One of my aunts had cats that stayed outdoors most of the year. She placed a collar on them that had a bell attached to it that my aunt thought would keep the birds safe from the cats. Within the first week, the cats had each brought a bird they had caught and dropped it by the door. Cats are very adaptable. And quick.

11 hours outside today for me today. In gorgeous weather. Pool time. A light jog. Long walk where we played Pokemon and I leveled up, plus got five new characters. Had a nice chat with the middle one who has been a thorn in my side on and off the last 3 weeks. Read a book. Had a nice half hour nap under an umbrella by the pool about 1pm. Mowed the lawn (which I love to do). It was a fun day. I'm sun whipped tired now. Going for a cool shower now. Dan grilling but I'm just having a salad. Burgers for everyone else.
I think I'll sleep well tonight. Making sure there is no naps between now and bedtime.

I've been back at my vet tech job for little over a week now, been more on an on call status as we aren't all that busy. Most of our customers are worried about the virus still. No social distancing with dogs and they still fear them getting it and dying. We've got pamflets for them.
We have about a dozen in the day care area and I was able to go and spend time with out guests outside. It was perfect temp and some got to go into the tiny pool. Even got a jog in with a dalmatian.

Family vacation set. CJ, wifey, my sister and her wifey couldn't get away from the hospital for vacation so them and their daughter and some special guests will be with CJ for a while. Though there is discussion they'll ship her off with the rest of the tribe so my grandma can have one more baby to spoil rotten. :roll:
Everyone else is going to my grandparents for the Summer. Will miss them all, but at least the house will be quieter and I'll still have plenty of youngins to watch over and spoil myself. :D

I saw my brother-in-laws brother yesterday for the first time in 4 months. He hasn't shaved during the stay at home order. I did not recognize him. He called out to me at the grocery store. He looks like Santa Clause (except gray instead of white). I was freaking out a little as he walked toward me, if he would have said, "Ho Ho Ho" and my name, I might have fainted. No idea who he was until he said "It's me" and mentioned his name. I then told him he looked like hell. He has no plan on shaving. ICK!

Our local legal bar leader grew a huge beard, then issued a shave off challenge. He raised over $70,000 for our political action committee. All so people could watch him shave. Good guy. Good cause. He was bleeding like a stuck pig before it was over. I’d recommend a barber. And an electric trimmer to take it down to a stubble first...

Had a great experience on the way up there too. Woo to me. ;D
Got home and was in the shower washing all the bug spray off. Wife came in and told me to peek around the curtain. She then popped a still warm mini donut in my mouth. The young neighbor girl across the street brought a bag over.

Happy to take a boo for what follows. ;D
They are regarded as rats with a good PR department over here. They are breeding like rabbits squirrels. Officially vermin and they are driving out our native, smaller, and much more cute, red squirrel.
Unfortunately how you kill them is strictly controlled as we can't mistreat any animal, even vermin. Scientists are trying to genetically modify their breeding cycle in order to eradicate them.
The USA gave us these voracious bastards and we gave you starlings (which have never been regarded as a pest over here).

So far...a great day! First trip back to the gym this morning. Was able to do my normal workout on the treadmill and heart rate stayed well in range. Resistance exercises will be another matter. Did a little arm work to start. Tomorrow will add more.
Stepping on the scale was a surprise. Lost 8 or 9 lbs. over the three month lapse. Neighbor was out when I got home and I bragged to her about my weight loss. She's a fitness trainer and brought me down with, "I'm sure we've all lost some muscle mass." Grrrr, yeah, muscle weighs more than fat.

Earlier this morning I was talking with my dad on the phone. We were talking family stuff and he made fun of one of my cousins. I laughed so hard I dropped my phone. It was the single funniest thing that's happened in my life it recent months. He sounded so stupid yet so accurate which made it so hilarious. I had to hang up and call back later when I was done laughing. My face literally hurt.
I'm still having uncontrollable laughing fits and people are looking at me like I'm crazy.
Paying for gas and start laughing :emot_laughing:

My mom was complaining "Don't we have enough reusable ice cubes? Do we really need any more?"
Seconds later all of the girls come running asking for them for their drinks and wiped half of them out. :emot_laughing: Enough for one run, more frozen for the next so the cycle can continue. ;D

This afternoon, for lunch, we decided to go out to our favorite Italian restaurant. This was the first time since the state closed down restaurants and bars in Mid-March. Nothing much changed except all the staff people were wearing masks but most importantly, the food was as good as it was before. And plenty of it.

Ice cubes disappear in our house when the grandchildren are over. Some want ice in their water, others just want the ice.

Okay.
So, it's hot.
It's also very humid.
I've got the ac cranked, but still sticky.
I've got my outstanding high speed Bose earbuds in while I do dishes. Little Richard's tuttie frutti took over my body. Granted I was dancing the twist, but I couldn't control myself. Third song I lost control and had to dance to. Did I mention I was wearing underwear, flip flops and nothing else.
I saw my door open while in the middle of twisting. Fearing it was my dad, I screamed and grabbed a dish towel for cover. I would hope that a scream would stop whoever was coming in, but it did not. Thankfully it was only Jake who thought to drop off some food for me.
I laughed.
He laughed.
And as much as I want to be dignified and respectable, I can't come up with words to do it justice. So I'll just come out and say it.
He fucked the hell out of me.
Still feeling it, like I've got a buzz going. My cheeks hurt from smiling. I honestly couldnt tell you if he even finished. And just like that he left.
I'll take one of those every day till the end of time please.
Love you all :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss:

I'll combine my What MADE my day & What RUINED my day in the same post. A few...
Made my day: Leaving for vacation. We have a rental in the mountains in NC. I'll be back on Monday.
What RUINED my day. This chart. Compare Michigan (MI) where I am right now, to North Carolina (NC) where I'll be tomorrow at this time. https://covidbystate.org/#/
And looking down the road a bit................. What could possible ruin my day before my return: Shiela might hit 1000 while I'm gone and I'll miss her 1000th post. I'm hearing rumors it might break the internet.
Four things :)
Had a great time. We made it back safely. A fairly quick drive (11 hours).
I get to slip in my own bed tonight.
I got back before Shiela posted her one thousandth post.
And coming through Kentucky I was able to pick up 15 bottles of bourbon that I can't get in Michigan. 12 of them I have only read reviews on. Excited to try them in the coming months.

Dan was pumping gas, but I brought the youngest in to interpret for me. So I'm pointing at the bottles and having my 17 year old telling the lady behind the counter what to pull off the shelf. After about 6 bottles as I'm looking over the selections she says, "I'm going to go in the back and get a box for this stuff." I tell the little one, "Tell her to get two boxes, just in case." The lady points at me and says, "I like you," with the cutest Kentucky accent.
We got to the car and Dan asked, "Um, I thought you were getting a couple of bottles. What did that cost you?" I answered with a shrug, as I wasn't going to tell him. Our daughter says, "$1200". Dan just looked at me and shook his head.
Hey, they had some good stuff. Because I was buying so much, the lady said, "I was saving this for some of my regulars, but if you promise to swing in next time through Kentucky, you can have this at state minimum." And she pulled out a bottle of William Larue Weller. My eyes popped out of my head. Even Dan's friend who gets all the difficult to find bottles has never been able to acquire this one. $109 and I could easily sell it for $700. But I won't. I'm going to share it with Dan's friend next time he's over. He's gotten me some very nice bottles.

That comment has been made by several of my friends. My landlord is rather forgiving when I do pay late. I honestly hope he's that way with all his tenants, but that doesn't stop the comments and jokes from friends.
Then there are the prospects of getting a roommate or serious relationship. I'm relatively happy with my situation. It's my own doing, if I was better at budgeting... or even had one, most of my money problems that occur, would go away. But where is the fun in that.

I have been very lucky with my landlord. I’ve known her almost a decade. Her parents gave her the house, then she got married and moved to another city. She’s like a daughter to me. This last week, I was having difficulty making my rent payment using PayPal, as is my custom. All this came to a grinding halt on Friday, and of course it was a holiday weekend, so everything was closed. Yesterday, I found out that my bank has lowered daily limits on my debit/credit card. So I had to use some skill, to make two payments from two different accounts, to get the rent taken care of. And she was a total sweetheart about the whole thing, even though I was at least three days late on the rent.

When I'm late, its usually two weeks, until I get my next paycheck. Then it takes away from the next months rent. Vicious cycle as it were. That is when the fun stops and penny pinching begins. My job is very anti-overtime.

Wifey and I took the kids, that we have, shopping. We hit up a pawn shop to see if they had anything cool, and they did. Lots of cool stuff. I hate to say it, but it looks like people pawned off a lot of stuff because of the plandemic. :roll:
Anyway, there it was... a fuckin' R2D2 mini fridge. We have a mini fridge in our bedroom, because why go downstairs for a cold drink at 2am, or any time? ;D but it's also a magnet for everyone upstairs. The other night during a storm my sister and her wifey needed a cold drink for their daughter, so of course they got it from us. My 6 was super clingy because of the thunder, but a cold drink calmed her down. And my special guest said it was really cool having a refrigerator there. Ok, everyone congregates in our room as if it's the upstairs living room. :roll:
Anyway, they wanted an inflated price for it. I don't know the story on it, wifey didn't care, it looked like the fucking trash can robot she loves. They wanted $200 for it. It worked perfectly and wifey wanted it, so I coughed it up for her. But not without complaining the price was way inflated. But they also had a 6 can Coca cola mini fridge... for $35. :roll: So I bought that too, and gave it to my sister and her wifey for their room. I somehow suspect it still won't prevent them from stealing from me though. Then we saw this adorable little pink and white one for $40. Got it. :roll: And I bought one for my special guest, I'm sure her mommy won't mind. In the end I think I wiped them out. And I bought my 6 a chromebook, which she didn't know about till we got home otherwise she would have begged me not to buy her anything.

Less advertising in the papers today, due to the virus closing down many business establishments. Main reason papers are so thin. Newsrooms have furloughed many reporters, a mistake, since it is the news media that keeps the politicians somewhat honest.
I receive the papers on Sunday but read them online the rest of the week. Like you, I love the crosswords.

No bikes. No guns either. Mostly stuff people pawned for quick cash. A fuck lot of computers, gaming consoles, cameras. I was hoping they'd have some guns for wifey. CJ finally pushed her into getting a permit and I want to get her something "petite'. :emot_laughing: But they had NOTHING. Not even a .22. They had a crossbow, but that was it. If they had any guns they probably woulda jacked the prices up like they did the fucking R2 thing. Which has now replaced our fridge. :roll: I'll figure out what to do with the other one later, probably downstairs in Lauren's room when she gets back from vacation with her mom.
I'm still fucking pissed about the R2 fridge. They priced it above what it would have cost brand new. The only justification I have for paying it was it probably would have ended up costing that much with shipping charges. :roll: But wifey likes it and that's all that matters of course.
Pawn shops are getting greedier. In the end I'm not sure I saved all that much money, just saved the price of shipping from Ebay. :roll:

I get my news online paying for none of it. If I’m camping in a rural area I’ll frequently buy the local paper and read it in its entirety. It’s typically good fun, Joe Bob winning the county tractor pull and such. Even the ads amuse me. I’m from a rural area, so it comforts me in ways I’m not all that clear about especially since the vast majority of the usual readership has huge Trump 2020 signs in their yards. After reading, I use the paper to start my campfire. That’s the usual fate of all those free local papers I get, starting my charcoal. I wonder what we’ll do when there are no free papers?

Too many of my friends post WaPo and NYT links. So I used to get excited to read the article, only to be advised it was subscription only.
Athos used to cut and paste repost a lot of good stuff from those in 1408. No longer. So I gave in and bought my own subscriptions. About $10 a month each. But it grants full access. AP, Reuter’s, CNN, The Guardian, and BBC have a lot of good free stuff. I browse a few others to get non-US viewpoints also.

Too many of my friends post WaPo and NYT links. So I used to get excited to read the article, only to be advised it was subscription only.
Athos used to cut and paste repost a lot of good stuff from those in 1408. No longer. So I gave in and bought my own subscriptions. About $10 a month each. But it grants full access. AP, Reuter’s, CNN, The Guardian, and BBC have a lot of good free stuff. I browse a few others to get non-US viewpoints also.
I hope I didn’t seem to be deriding you for paying for news. I certainly bought newspapers in the past. It is annoying to click on an article in my news ap just to find out it requires a subscription. I treat it like porn, there’s enough of the variety I crave for free that I for myself don’t want to be bothered with paying. It isn’t even the cost, but once you subscribe to anything online these days they make it so onerous to try and quit. The constant renewal notifications, and you have to monitor your credit cards to make sure they don’t keep changing you. ‘Try it for free’, and we’ll never ever leave you alone after.

I got 2 years worth of Brita water filters for just $20 ;D
But with how much water the kids are drinking, 2 years is insanely unlikely. Those filters probably won't last till September. And that's factoring in almost everyone being gone till next month.

Spent the entire afternoon yesterday in door county. Jake had to go pick something up and asked if I wanted to tag along and off we went. We stopped at renard cheese and got some string cheese, beef sticks and a bottle of cherry mimosa.
He got what he went there for and then we went to caves point and walked around a bit before getting caught in the rain. We didnt think it was suppose to rain till 7 or 8, but it arrived a couple hours sooner. We then went and got icecream from not licked yet before going to the skyway drive in and watched shreck. Second movie was meet the parents, but we left before shreck was done. Had a long drive ahead of us and he was getting sleepy. I drove the last bit of it as he had a hard time keeping his eyes open. Hit another small storm about ten minutes from home.
Was home and fell asleep a little after 1 this morning. He got up and left around 6. Had the best time and a great nights sleep.

Now, when you said Jake got up, just exactly what got up? ;D ;D
he got up at 6 this morning, he had to go to work.
HE got up at caves point before we went on our walk. It was surprisingly empty there.

I wrote a new story and posted it to Sex Stories! It is a short story entitled "Tiny Bikram Yoga Instructor." It is 5.5 pages long. I wanted to try writing some short stories as opposed to the novel and novella length stories I have been writing. I've been somewhat envious of short stories that get 10 or 12 reader comments while my 200 page monstrosities get, like, 2 comments.
I also yesterday finished a new UA story "I Don't Know How to Say No To This: A Romance in Two Perspectives." It is only 14 pages long.

I’ll tell you a funny story. We used to have a legend of the fabled “Texas Rose.“ Rosie was reportedly a Mexican whore, who would deflower any pledge who did not get laid by the time of hell week. All semester long, the actives would say things like, “Have you gotten laid yet Toe? Texas Rose will be here next month!”
During Hell Week, we’d bring the pledges into a room in the basement, one at a time, and show them a big shop vac, with a rubber vagina attached to the hose. The pledge would then be asked if he was a virgin, and if he said “yes,“ we’d tell him he had to fuck Texas Rose, and turn on the shop vac. It was a mindfuck. The pledge would always say, “hell no, I’m not gonna do that,“ and we’d all congratulate him on standing up for himself, and advise him that they are times to think for yourself, and to not just do what other people tell you to do.
So one year, we’re getting ready to initiate our 2500th hundred member. The programs had already been printed up. We bring the poor 2500 kid into the room, and gave him the Texas Rose spiel. Before anyone knew what happened, the kid has his pants around his ankles, and he starts fucking the shit out of the shop vac! That had *never* happened before! Everyone started screaming and running around, much like that scene in Animal House, when Flounder shot the horse in the Dean’s office. We all ran out of the room, leaving the poor pledge alone with his dick in a shop vac.
We are all rolling on the floor, laughing and crying, and we finally decided to find the pledge’s big brother, to tell him to put his pants back on. He still got initiated. But holy shit. That may have been the last year we did the Texas Rose. Never found out if she made that pledge lose his load.

After running an errand yesterday, wife and I stopped by a favorite restaurant for lunch.
It was Wednesday, which meant free pie with each entree. As expected, most of the tables were taken out and only every other booth available.
The surprise was a drastically reduced menu. About half the sandwiches and only a few dinner options. Still we enjoyed our meal. Was nice to see one of the regular server taking care of us.
Went home with pie for later in the evening, happy to have a small taste of normalcy.
Even with reduced seating, there were very few other diners eating out.

Our favorite restaurants have disposable paper menus, typically offering less than one third of the old options. Unfortunately, it seems that my favorites never make the cut. Eating out is a rarity now, and it is always disappointing to see that the item I have been craving is no longer on the Covid-19 menu.

That's what happened with me. Been ages since I enjoyed a French Dip... roast beef with au jus on the side. Yep, not on the (paper) menu.
It's a new world. I don't expect much change until an effective vaccine is finally found.
For now, I try to make the most with what's available.

Same here. Paper menu's. Some places have turned the placemat into the menu.
Less selection. But not too bad.
EVERY place we've been to have upped their prices in and around Detroit. Most places 5%, some others as much as 15%.
And oddly, one of Dan's favorites now charges 3% to use a credit card, and that's one of the places that has bumped prices by 15%. Not a good move. I don't mind, but we've already heard a few people complain. Just tack it on to the price of the menu.
I always pay with a credit card. And I always tip with cash. A server told me once long ago that they would prefer cash.
My favorite. I just had one earlier this week. Yum!

Our favorite place has replaced the tablecloths with paper cut to fit the table top. Same large menus. Prices still the same, as far as I know. No surcharge for using credit cards. They will take cash where other places are beginning not to. Same good food at reasonable prices. And lots of it. Always come home with a good portion left over.

That’s because the credit cards typically charge the merchant a 3% fee. They are doing that here where I live also.
I also know that they are struggling to make ends meet, but putting that on the few loyal customers that show up on a night with 50% seating and 50 customer limitations is risky.
I think the folks who are doing well are drive throughs and food delivery services.

I got cartons of free eggs from my old temp job. My friend/manager was like "I've still got stuff I have to toss, and no one wants any of it. My fridge is full, so if you want any of this stuff take it!"
So... I did. I've still got a lot of mouths to feed. So I asked what everyone wanted for dinner and my 6 was like "scrambled eggs and toast!" And everyone thought that was a great idea. So I made a fuck lot of scrambled eggs, and butter toasted bread. Everyone just made scrambled egg sandwiches the way they wanted. Always makes CJ happy hearing little voices go "mmmmmmmmm!" :D
And if Jules reads this, the kids wanted Ketchup. :emot_weird:

Still have a lot of eggs though. :roll:

I haven’t been that brave. I’ve gotten McDonald’s drive through twice and fried chicken from Royal Farms, a local convenience store, twice, paying cash all 4 times. Otherwise, we’ve prepared every meal at home for over 4 months now. There’s been 3 or 4 family get togethers where everyone brings food, but still, everything made at home.
I feel for the troubles our local restaurants are going through, but going there has never been about eating their food so much as being out and around people, something we’re foregoing for now. We both can cook, so that’s what we’re doing.
I have some Asian eggplants ready to pick on my deck, so For Sunday eyeing a Bobby Flay recipe for marinated and grilled eggplant sandwiches with tomatoes (also growing in my deck), basil (mine too) and fresh goat cheese. I’ll probably grill a Ribeye steak and asparagus to go with that. Tonight is ceviche and tomorrow I’m making freezer gumbo, as in whatever meats/seafood I have that’s getting old is going in the pot (okra, shrimp, scallops, one Italian sausage, one andouille sausage and smoked turkey).
Trust me, we are not being deprived by eating at home.

I was reading an online article about presidential inaugurations, and I saw this picture, which I've never seen before:
(https://i.imgur.com/bvLaRz6.png)
It's Grover Cleveland's first inauguration, on March 4, 1885, with Cleveland on the right as he prepares to deliver his address, and outgoing president Chester Arthur seated on the left.
I've always had a soft spot for President Arthur. He succeeded to the presidency when President Garfield as assassinated only about 6 months into his term. Before he became president, Arthur was part of Rosecoe Conkling's New York Republican machine, and corrupt to his soul. He served as Collector of the Port of New York under Grant, perhaps the most plum patronage post in the nation, allowing him to greatly enrich himself and his cronies.
And then Arthur met Ellen Herndon, and through her loving patience, she helped Arthur transform his life.
(https://i.imgur.com/bUEkqXh.jpg)
When Arthur succeeded to the White House, Conkling and his cronies rubbed their hands with glee, thinking they now controlled the federal government, and all of its spoils. But that was the old Chet Arthur. One of the highlights of Arthur's presidency was the complete overhaul of the "spoils system" and the civil service reform he helped create determined that jobs would be granted by merit, and not patronage. He transformed the U.S. Navy from being a world laughingstock to one of the most powerful forces on the seas. And he was uncharacteristically forward-thinking in his views on race relations and solving the problems of the failure of Reconstruction in the South.
Tragically, Nell Arthur didn't live to see any of this. Though she was only 42, in January 1880 -- about nine months before her husband was elected vice president -- she came down with a cold, and two days later, she was dead. Arthur never got over her death, and people who knew him as both vice president and president noted a perpetual sadness about him.

I’ve only thought of Chester A. Arthur from the movie Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995).
John McClane : I want you to get a hold of a guy named Cobb. Walter Cobb. C-o-b-b. He's the head of my police unit. Get him down here. Find him. Tell him you were with John McClane. And tell him to find out who the 21st president was.
Jerry Parks : Chester A. Arthur.
John McClane : What?
Jerry Parks : Chester A. Arthur. 1881 to 1885. Nominated vice-president in 1880. Did you know he was Collector of Customs right here in New York?
John McClane : [smiles] No, I didn't know that, Jerry. Take care of yourself.

While those movies aren't exactly my cup of tea, I've seen the first four with my nephews. And I was delighted by the reference, and the way that McClane and his partner Zeus couldn't figure it out in those pre-smarthphone days.
Sadly, there is no Chester A. Arthur School in New York City. Despite the fact that he lived the last 35 years in New York City, and, as Jerry points, served as Collector of the Port of New York, and was elected vice president while living in New York City, he has never been honored by having a school named after him.
New York City does a very odd thing in referring to elementary and middle schools by number, and not by name. Most schools have a name, but they're rarely used, and most people don't even know what they are. Thus a school will be called PS 110 or MS 334.
So even if there was a school named after the 21st president, no one would use it, and virtually no one would even know it.

For the first time in recent memory, I have absolutely no obligations today to be in court, meet a client, drive anywhere, shop for anything, or cook for the household. I’m still laying in bed at 10 a.m., and guess what? Fuck you if you have a problem with it. I don’t plan to do a damn thing today. And it feels great.

I said, "...late night swim..." What would give you the idea it was going to be skinny dipping?
Yes, we did go into the pool about 11pm. But first we had to turn off the landscape lights around the pool so our neighbor wouldn't be able to see into our yard.

A new drink has been brought to my attention. I've had one, now I'm going to try and make it for myself today.
Man O'War
2 Ounce(s) Bourbon 1 Ounce(s) Orange curacao (I'll be using Cointreau) 1/2 Ounce(s) Sweet Vermouth 1/2 Ounce(s) Fresh lemon juice 1 Twist Lemon 1 Fresh or maraschino cherry
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist and maraschino cherry. Serve in a Cocktail Glass.
The one I was served was in a cocktail glass of crushed ice. Makes it seem more summery. That's how I plan to make it today. I plan to go with a lower proof bourbon because the Cointreau is about 80 proof by itself.
I don't think I can have too many of them. I might have to be carried into the house if I do.

Wouldn't take much. A bathing suit and a cover-up is all right now. The recipe was a success. And two of them had me feeling the alcohol in it. I drank 16 ounces of water after each one. And took a little nap in the shade.

I had a perfect lunch! The best eating out I have had since before COVID! Today I decided I had been cooped up in the house too much (aside from work!). I needed a road trip. I intended to drive to Atlantic City NJ but stopped in Gettysburg for lunch. I found a little place on US 30 downtown called Gettysburger. It has a huge craft beer menu that changes every week.
It turned out to be a perfect lunch! I ordered a Patty Melt on Texas Toast with fires. The fries were spiral cut fresh potatoes, crunchy on the outside, mealy and hot on the inside. The Patty Melt was exactly medium rare and grilled onions golden soft but not greasy! I chose a bottled Sam Adams Porch Rocker. A shandy made with lemon and lime fizz! Perfect!
The music was Sirius Radio "Road Trip" playing all the classics! My server was cute, flirty, and almost my more mature age! We bantered and flirted and I had a great time! Lunch made my day!
I never did get to Atlantic City! I went home! But well worth the trip!

I do two puzzles a day with my first cup of coffee, the LA Times and one just called Today's Crossword and I'm amazed at how often the same answer is in both puzzles the same day. It happens at least three times a week, and not always just four letter words (enola, lunar/solar, attic, gratis).

My boy, Neville, came through his dental surgery just fine. One molar had to be extracted. Anesthesia on an older animal can be tricky, so it's a relief to hear he came out of it ok. Get to bring him home in three hours.
There's a little girl kitty who will be glad to see him home. She's been acting a bit off all day. Oh yeah...mom and dad will be happy too.. :D

So happy to hear things went well. As you say, it can be tricky on senior animals. Seeing as it was dental work added stress to Neville's body was probably lower. I'm sure your vet was pretty confident there would be no difficulties. However, sometimes things happen and when they do it happens quick.

What made my day yesterday.... I did a bit of laundry after dinner. Dan offered to help fold clothes. Trying to be funny, he took a bra and held it up over his mouth and nose and said, "Hey, I could use this as a face covering."
I looked at him and just nodded. Then pointed out to him, "I know you're trying to be funny holding up one of my bra's, but.....that's not my bra, it's your daughters." He quickly pulled it off and the look on his face was priceless. I wish I had a picture of his reaction.

I came into work today for a meeting. I haven't been in quite a while. Always fun to see former co-workers and some that I consider friends. Nice meeting some new employees. Many not here because of Covid, but instead working remotely.
The meeting starts at 10am, but I couldn't help coming in at 7 to visit. I brought donuts and bagels. I'm also acting as the office attendant, making coffee's, latte's and whatever else anybody wants. I even made scrambled egg sandwich for someone.
As I handed my old assistant her coffee, who now does my old job, laughingly said, "Hey, I can get used to this, you need to visit more often." What she doesn't know is that one of the things we're discussing in the meeting is hiring her a full time assistant. Not just getting coffee of course, but assisting her with all of her duties, mainly phone and some administrative paperwork, and running errands for her. Hiring her an assistant is pretty much a done deal.

Nope nope nope. Retired as of last September when I had some health issues. I just stop in once a month or every 6 weeks to meet with the other partners. I still connect remotely at times also.
Dan usually comes with me and he sneaks down to Ohio to golf with friends. But the friends were all busy today, so he stayed home and was working on his car. Washing and waxing. Or 'detailing' as he refers to it. And it actually looks brand new. He used to do that sort of thing as a business during his college days. He's my car junkie.

My dad has been making put door bars, chairs, and stools for neighbors and friends. He has been going stir crazy lately with nothing to do since the parks and playground have been closed. He volunteers to help fix and maintain the play equipment and such. So in his spare time he started making these items out of old pallets. Now he has more than enough work to keep himself busy, and to stop complaining to me about being bored. Just needs to not break his back again, that stubborn ass.
Love you dad.

Stopped at my favorite convenience store for some coffee creamer, and ran into Him. As soon as he saw me he came up to apologize. He said nothing clicked in his brain and he was kicking himself all day after I left. One of the employees we always chat with talked to him and told him what I was doing.
You all were absolutely right, his family has been hit hard by covid and he was pretty distracted. I felt bad I jumped to conclusions so quick. We talked for a bit and now we are meeting at "our spot" for coffee on Tuesday. I have off and he said he will call in a sick day.
I had to put my foot in my mouth because we are meeting for breakfast and I almsot made a KB joke and said breakfast usually comes AFTER the first date :roll:

No you didn't make a big mistake.
You've got a younger guy, go for it girl. Just know he's going to be a little bit more immature. You'll know after a few dates if you can deal with it long term or not. If he keeps wanting to go play shoot-em-up games on the ninetendo as a date, maybe best to move on.
If it works out, it works out and good for you. Then the only thing you need to worry about in all this is his mom. But that's a month down the road. Don't worry about his dad, he'll be patting his son on the back (when mom isn't looking). Just be the sweetheart you are, but don't try to pass yourself off as being young. She'll end up loving you.
Let's move this thing along, I can't wait for the KB bachelorette party.

Your confidence is so delightful, and highlights a major dating difference between men and women. At this point, before date #1, normally I'd be thinking "perhaps she'll enjoy my company enough to not balk at a goodnight kiss and maybe date #2."
Instead you're like, "Oh yeah, this will be the relatively youngest man I'll have inside of me." And not for no reason. We all know you're irresistable!
Sometimes I wish I was a woman, but not a cis woman because men are, well, yuck. But then, if I was a lesbian, it would be back to the extremely tentative approach, in fact even more tentative (just a guess on my part). So okay. But still the envy. :-)

I've hired a college grad that can't find employment to come in and tutor for 3 hours a day for 4 days a week. She needs money, and I need to keep my sanity. Doing the homeschooling during part of March, April, May & June and I was about ready to be put in a straight jacket in a padded room.
I'll still work with her, but when things get tense, I'm walking away. 6th graders know everything anyways. Or at least she thinks she does.

I've hired a college grad that can't find employment to come in and tutor for 3 hours a day for 4 days a week. She needs money, and I need to keep my sanity. Doing the homeschooling during part of March, April, May & June and I was about ready to be put in a straight jacket in a padded room.
I'll still work with her, but when things get tense, I'm walking away. 6th graders know everything anyways. Or at least she thinks she does.
The homeschooling isn't fun, but I prefer knowing they're all safe and close to me.
:D

6th graders know everything!!! Hell, I know 3rd graders who thought they knew everything. Actually, it’s common for kids to have more time for non-family members when it comes to learning. Personally, I would never take on the role of primary instructor for any member of my family.

This made my day yesterday, in a cute way though.
Mrs W was going to impress the little ones by showing she still could ride a bike after at least 25 years of not being on a bike.
Grandson #5 asked could he hold her cellphone.
Grandma replied, Sure, that is sweet of you. You want to be able to call 911 if I fall off?
Grandson #5 - No. I want to play video games with it.

What made my day -
On our drive home yesterday from dropping the middle one of at college, we spoke of what we were going to do for Labor Day. In the last hour we came up with a plan.
Leaving this Saturday with the youngest and oldest. Going to spend 3 days and hike about 50 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. More miles if we can. The oldest will be driving with the youngest and picking us up down the trail. Just Dan and I hiking. We plan on camping along the trail two of the nights.
Then we'll do some sightseeing before we drive over to Kentucky and do some Bourbon tours. Then drive back home on Labor Day.
All tentative. Need to work out the finer details.

Would love to go hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Hope you get to do more then 50 miles. But don't tire Dan out too much just in case...
Bourbon tours? Thought you wrote the book on bourbon? ;D

28 hours of driving, but arrived in the west last night. I rested a few hours in Wisconsin and considered looking Shiela up for molestation purposes, but she neglected to give me her address. Strange coincidence Saturday morning in Wisconsin, was a bald eagle hovering over Interstate 90, then landed in a tree (really happened). So just thought someone else had the same idea regarding Shiela?

Reading Sunday paper on the back porch this morning, my male cat lazing under my chair. All at once he's off the porch, racing towards the shrubs around neighbors house. Out pops a squirrel who proceeds to climb the stucco wall of the house.
Little tree rat clung there for several minutes, chittering it's outrage. Cat soon got bored and walked away. Squirrel kept making noise until it finally realized cat was gone.
It shut up, climbed down and Sunday's peace and quiet restored.

Black Elk Wilderness, I backpacked and overnighted there 4 years ago including summiting Black Elk Peak, highest point in SD (was called Harney Peak 4 years ago). There’s a one lane a tunnel near there, had to fold in my side mirrors to get through it. On the other side, Mt Rushmore was visible.

Here's a fun tunnel in the Needles area. Watched this bus maneuver for over 15 minutes to get lined up perfect and go through. All the passengers were off loaded and had to walk the tunnel. Guess even the slightest movement could rock the bus, causing it to scrape the side of the rock.

But what really made my day is I made a $6 bet on The Oaks race at Churchill Downs and won $96. Shedaresthedevil in an upset. Yay me.
Dan won big also. He won $2.20 on a $2 bet in an earlier race. Heehee.
So far, Jules is +$105, Dan is -$26.
Derby Day tomorrow. Touring Wild Turkey then finding a place to watch the races.

And we're now in Louisville. We had a great hike other than getting a blister after day 1. It was tough. Some of the hills were so steep. Very difficult climbing. We saw a black bear. A lot of raccoons. A small herd of elk. Turkey. Too many snakes. We slept in our tent two nights. It was amazing, but one of the hardest things I've ever done. We did pick a difficult stretch of trail though.
We still have to figure the distance we travelled. Dan has to plug his GPS in to his computer when we get home.
I hated how dirty I was. We didn't plan on washing during the trip, but for the morning of day 3 we had just started hiking when we came across a very small waterfall and a small pool of water just off the trail. I said, we're stopping. The water was FREEZING. OMG. Luckily it was warm out, else we wouldn't have done it. Two women hikers did come upon us. They hiked back out. After we dried and dressed and came back out, they were waiting and went in to shower. 10 minutes later is when we saw the bear.
We hope to do another stretch of trail next summer, maybe spend a week out there.

Common Purslane, a low creeping weed that's taken root in our backyard. I've been lax this year in chipping out.
Our neighbor was over chatting this morning as wife and I sat on back porch. Suddenly she spotted the pesky weed and flipped. Said it was edible and quickly broke off a few leaves and popped 'em in her mouth.
She asked permission to harvest some and was soon back with a bowl. She gathered about half a large bowlful and made me promise not to pull up the weed.
Lawn care just got easier... I'll bring the neighbor over to graze every now and then. :emot_laughing:

Very high in Omega-3s. I add it to salads sometimes, but I’m not that fond of the taste. I just like the idea of eating a common weed. Lambs quarters on the other hand, just as common, tastes good.

I'm back after a wonderful vacation. Wait, maybe this should be under Ruined My Day
I have a new appreciation for hiking, specifically mountain hiking. We spent early last weeks hiking a portion of the Appalachian Trail. Dan's GPS says we went 52.9 miles over 3 days. My legs were aching on Tuesday morning (in a good way) I like that sort of pain. It's the sort of pain that your muscles are just screaming, but you know it is for the betterment of your body. And an hour after we got going again, I was back in my groove. The uphills, UGH. Some stretches were 2 miles long with and elevation climb of 1000 feet. And some of the downhills are just as hard. It was close to one of the hardest things I've done in life. And I loved every minute of it.
After getting home around 3:00 yesterday, I went on a 6 mile run. Felt so good. And I slayed it. I swear, I've never felt so good during a run.
It was nice to be sleep in my own bed last night. Wonderful having my own favorite coffee (spiked with some bourbon cream I picked up during the trip.)

Yes. Bourbon Cream! I got it at the Buffalo Trace distillery. I put too much in my coffee and it has a kick. Cleared out my nostrils on the first sip. Wowweey! haha It's available in stores everywhere though. The tour guide told us to try it on ice cream also.
I picked up 14 bottles on the trip. Evan Williams, a few at Buffalo Trace, StitzelWeller I got two different 1792's (correction: I got a 1792 and a IW Harper). Wild Turkey. And another I can't remember. The biggest disappointment was the Bardstown Bourbon Distillery. Too trendy. Right now they're mixing from bourbon they acquire from other distilleries. They will have their own in a few years. I LOVE Buffalo Trace though. I was hoping to meet Freddie Johnson, the legendary tour guide. Sadly :(, I didn't.
Yes, we saw a bear. I took about 10 pictures. This was the only one where my hand was steady enough. This is cropped & zoomed in as far as possible without making it too grainy. It was from 100 yards away. The others are all blurry. Dan didn't even get his phone out quick enough. Mr Bear was only visible for about 7 seconds before he was lost in the woods again.

I have about 145 different bottles. I only have 6 (at most) open at a time. A new one gets opened once one is finished. I also have about 35 of bottles from my brother in law when he passed away. He bought some pretty expensive ones. That cupboard was always under lock and key. I've only taken two bottles out to enjoy. And I've also given a couple to his bourbon friends that I know appreciated them. I take all of the bottles out about once every 3 months and tip them to wet the cork.
So nobody asked..... But, YES, I did have a drink that inspired my username. Only one though. There were too many other bourbons to sample.

52.9 in 3 days. Wow. I know the pain you're talking about, you stretch it just so it hurts a little more and that phrase, pain is weakness leaving the body, rolls through your head.
When I was in Colorado my boyfriend some of our friend, and would go hiking in the foothills around Cheyenne mountain. Even if we did it 3 days, it would have only been about 21 miles.
My boyfriend and his buddies were almost detained by the airforce one time because they were being stupid and wanted to climb up to see the bunker. They did not get very close before the airforce showed up. Their military IDs saved them from it but they got into trouble from our unit commander. Apparently it is a common thing for dumbasses to try and climb to it.
So happy to hear you had a great time.

I remember Cheyenne Mountain. Spent over a year at Ft. Carson in 1966-67. Bet it's changed a lot. When I got there, there was a good sized fire on the mountain.
And yes, security is very tight. I met a guy who was an Army anti-aircraft gunner, assigned to one of the guns on Cheyenne Mountain. I asked if he went up there to check on his weapon and do maintenance. Big no. He didn't have clearance. Only way he'd ever see his gun was if war broke out and the Ruskies were coming.

Nice Jules on the bourbon, the hike, and seeing a bear. I saw 3 juvenile black bears myself yesterday, although possibly the pair I saw in the late afternoon included the same one I saw earlier (driving back and seemed like the same area). I wasn’t able to get pics, driving, and it/they were running across the road.
Wish I could hike like that. Ankle surgery recovery is ongoing.

How did you know it was Mr Bear from 100 yards away? Great eyesight. ;D
Most experienced hikers, when hiking in known bear territory, will attach bells to their knapsack to forewarn the black bears. Seems the tinkling of bells will scare away black bears. Hikers will also steer clear of bushes with berries on them, a favorite of bears.

In the all too recent “olden days” last year, I would have spent at least 4 hours in the car. I hope this technology continues, even after the threat of pandemic eases.

I've had absolutely nothing to do today, and I've done absolutely nothing productive.
Perhaps we can remedy that, although not sure it would qualify as ‘productive’?

Our Level 1 evacuation alert was lifted today. Both sisters safe at home, although they are still at Level 1 alert.
Forecast has changed from "sunny" to "hazy sun". The reality is lots of haze and almost no sun. Still as gray and bleak as January. Didn't even reach 60 outside today. Very unusual for September.
AQI still very high and smell is horrific. Hopefully the worst is over.

The only thing better than the corner piece of freshly made brownies, is if all four sides were the crispy edges.
I tried those gimmick pans with that pre-slicing thing in the middle and all it does is pull everything apart unless you oil it enough to where you're basically deep frying the brownies, plus I cant use parchment paper with those things.

And so it begins.
Yesterday we brought wife's son home from the hospital following bypass surgery on all five arteries. He's doing well and not in that much pain. Only occasionally taking pain meds, like to sleep last night.
The joy will be adapting to an extra person in our little house. I gave up my recliner, as he'd have too hard a time with our low sofa. I took to the kitchen to read the paper this morning. More light than on the sofa.
When we first learned of his need for surgery, we were told he should have someone with him the first two weeks. As we're the only ppl in his life, our place became the default location.
I'm posting this in What Made My Day, because I'm happy he's come through this so well. No doubt down the line, I be posting on the "other" thread. Wife's already showing signs of strain.

I'm thinking he'll want to get away from us sooner than two weeks. Mostly about the TV. Our shows don't appeal to him and he's a sports nut too. We don't allow sports to clutter our viewing. We have our own brand of crap. ;D

We're adapting to the extra person in our two people, two cat household.
The stepson is doing well after having his chest cracked open a week ago.
One of his biggest frustrations when visiting our house the last 14 years is the cats who are shy of all people who come into the house. They run and hide before people even get to the door. They may come out and stare from across the room later, but never close enough to touch. Exception is a few young children who are able to pet the male if they're slow and quiet approaching him.
Most frequent visitor is wife's son. Even after all the years we've had this pair of cats, they've never let him get close. After staying with us a few days after his first surgery earlier this summer, the cats did come as far as the center of the room. Progress for them.
Now a major milestone last night. The stepson has taken over my recliner, as it's the best fit for him and easy to get out of. I share the chair with the male cat. He'll climb up and lay against one leg in the evening while we watch TV. Last night, he decided he wasn't going to be deprived of his chair privilege's. He hopped up on the chair as stepson sat there, laid down next to a leg and took his usual evening cat nap. Major change in this 14 year old kitty's behavior. :D :emot_wave2:

A 3 min egg (or 3 min 30 sec as I made them) are not overly popular, at least around here. Even when I made them, I put the peeled eggs in a glass to eat with a spoon.
I recall seeing egg holders in the house in the past, never recall them being used. They weren’t mine, and I never bought such things. I think they were discarded.

While I am aware of their existence my encounters with them have been few and far between. Maybe as a child there was a hint of them collecting dust on a high shelf of the pantry, but they are not as good at multi tasking as a shot glass. I do look at them online and even considered buying some real egg cups but then I realize it would be one more bit of baggage left behind when I check out of this bourgeois motel.

I could never eat a soft boiled egg. Just not appealing to me in the slightest. Even my scrambled eggs have to be overcooked by a chef's standards. If they are not turning brown "burnt" I dont sent them. Over easy with a runny york is the only exception and I HAVE to have a slice of toast to eat that with.

He's much faster than me and his running stamina is much greater than mine. I'd have more of a chance with hide-and-go-seek.

I looked up hoping it had fallen from a tree, and hoping that there were many more ready to fall and I'd have to get a rake to gather them all up.
I think I will not go on a run today, so as not to get hit by another car, and ruin this day.

Sidewalks only. If cars park across the sidewalks, I'm going to hurdle them instead of cutting down in the street. Or I'll slide across them like Duke

Been laying around in sweats and a t-shirt. Today, out of frustration, he put on pants and shirt along with his work ID lanyard. That's what he's watching TV in. Says he needs to do something to feel normal.

Good to hear. I read about observed declines in cognitive ability following open heart surgery. I spent my recovery doing crosswords, sudoko, card games, and reading every book I had swore I would finish but never did. Took about six weeks to get back to feeling normal. About six months to feeling 100%.

Traveled up north to my favorite wildlife refuge.
Fall migration is just beginning, with a few flocks of Sandhill Cranes gathering. By late October, there will be over 15 thousand. They stage at the refuge prior to migrating to southern Georgia and northern Florida. The refuge offers shelter at night and in the morning they fly out to surrounding farmlands and feed on corn that falls to the ground during harvest.
(https://i.imgur.com/eM5Ogiv.jpg)
I love getting there before sunrise. I hear them "talking" to each other, then as soon as it starts to get light, they take off for the fields. The sky is filled with them and they continue their talk as they fly. Something I'll never tire of seeing.

Yes! The best! I have remote start and heated seats. A must for me in Michigan. Every car I ever purchase in the future will have those features.
Same here. Hitting that button and waiting a few minutes before running to my car in the freezing cold. Jumping in and getting cradled by heat. Love it.

We are back to a two person, two cat household! Wife's son moved back to his apartment after spending two weeks with us following bypass surgery. Doctors said he needed someone with him for two weeks once released from the hospital. As there's no-one else in his life, we were the default choice.
He was more than ready to go. We got him a recliner, as that's easier for him to get in and out of while he heals. Our neighbors with their pickup helped me take the chair to his apartment last night. I was only gone a little over an hour and when I got home, he'd had all his stuff packed up.
He was set to go early this AM, but I had a medical phone appointment at 9:30. He went for a walk just before that and when he came home, he sat down, still with his hat and jacket on. Wife finally got him to take off the jacket. Once I was off the phone, I loaded up the car and off we went.
Told him to call once in awhile, so we don't have to go to his building looking for dead bodies. Brightest point in his stay was both cats sat in the chair with him and he was finally able to pet them. For nearly 14 years, they've run and hid whenever he was over. Well, they do that for most everybody, but he was hurt by them being...well, cats.

First shave with a new razor. It's one of life's underrated little pleasures. Especially for someone as cheap as I am. I use the same disposable for a month.
My wife told me one of life's little pleasures for her is taking off her bra at the end of the day. I graciously suggested that she just not wear the damn things. That got me eye roll #4. :roll:

During my many years of solitude, I lost meself in Harry Potter. I fell in love with her Rowling's magical world.
I've watched the movies, which were great, but as they say, the book was better.
And this morning I decided to relive it all and I bought the audiobook for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. And I am beside myself with giddiness. Oh my, I'm so happy.
Hmmm, reliving this series should help make my choice for a Halloween costume come very easily this year. Professor McGonagall perhaps?

My yard work went to hell after I had ankle surgery. Because I hired a guy to cut some large limbs from a big oak (storm damage), I paid him more while he was there to clear out some brush. He’s coming back in 2 weeks to clear out more, all stuff I could do, but there’s too much. And according to the doc, I got another 3 months to heal.

A pumpkin carving party at noon.
We're having my daddy and his friend over, along with my brother in laws family over and a couple of the girls friends. About 15 of us all together. Just have to run to the store to get some tomatoes and onions for the burgers. And the cider mill for donuts and cider. Desserts and other sides for the burgers is being brought by others.
I've been up since 4:30 though. Starting to feel sleepy, so maybe get a couple of more hours sleep in right now.
Have a good day, everyone.

Our female cat finally joined me on my new recliner. We tossed the old one last weekend and my boy, Neville was right there the first night, pressed against my leg. Angel, our girl, made a couple short visits, but wasn't impressed.
This morning she finally gave in and is now enjoying some time with "Dad". :D
Do I spoil the kitties? Oh yes! When shopping for the new recliner we looked at a nice one in our price range. Then I noticed that there was a gap between the seat and footrest. :emot_weird: Dang... that's where the cat lays! So, we spent another $200, for a model that provides room for kitty.

I've had a favorite spoon rest for years that's in the shape of a fish. I accidentally knocked it off the counter, and it broke into two pieces. It probably cost about $5, but sentimentality won out, and I dug out a tube of super glue. I carefully put a line of glue on the two broken edges, held them together for a while, and then set it on the counter to dry.
The next morning when I went to the kitchen, I went to pick it up to put it in its pace on the stove -- and it wouldn't budge. I had used too much glue, and it was now super-glued to the counter. And that's now its permanent place.

For some reason MissB I’m reminded of high school chemistry. I arrived in class to find a liter bottle at my usual seat. It was a dark grey color. I went to move it aside just to discover it had been glued there. Knowing that wasn’t right, I attempted to dislodge it using a lot more force. I was successful. Turns out it wasn’t glued at all; it was filled with mercury which 1 liter weighs 30 pounds.

A story in the paper today really made my day.
A Black woman had tire trouble in a small Minnesota town where years before at a flea market someone used a racial slur against her. Years later, on her way to another flea market, she had tire trouble in that same town.
A tire had come off her trailer and she was about to pick it up when a voice yelled, "Stop!" he ordered her, Stubbs said. "Don't touch that! That tire's hot. You're going to burn your hand."
The woman put up her hands, thinking the person thought she was trying to steal something.
Instead the man helped her with the tire. Drove her 20 miles to a town where they could get the parts needed to repair the trailer, bought her lunch, then took her to his home to meet his wife.
As much as I loved this story, I'm sad that more stories like this aren't reported.

I've decided I'm not doing a damn thing today. The most work I plan on doing today is making a fresh pot of coffee. If it takes more effort than that, I'm not friggin doing it. 8)

That was my Sunday. It was raining. I had three guys watching football at the house. I was in my sweats, sweatshirt and fluffy sock. The most productive thing I did was try to make a cheesecake. No laundry, no cleaning. Just vegged as we used to say.
Enjoy your day, Shiela!

Sunday's went in the garbage. Monday's went in the garbage. Tuesday was award winning....
And I apologize for missing one of your PM's... the one about Fox and Fossils. I received multiple PM's when I logged on the following day, but I only saw the ones on the new page in my inbox. Not on the previous page. Did this to another member also.
Sorry, I'll get used to the PM inbox someday, I'm kinda new here.

I typically get up at 6:30-7:00 am on Saturdays. Last night I went to bed at 9:30 pm and I didn't set my alarm. I woke up -- naturally -- this morning at 9:30 am and I felt amazingly refreshed. I haven't slept that long in years and years.

Coming home after successful endo-vascular surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm. Slept soundly for 6 hours yesterday, got up for an hour while a new mattress was delivered, then slept soundly for another 6 hours.
Doctor said the surgery was text book easy and I've had very little pain to deal with. Pre-op covid test was negative. Such a relief to finally have it over and done with.

Someone CJ was very close with during the dark times was able to get a hold of my phone number from another friend of mine. CJ doesn't mind at all. In fact I wish we had never, ever EVER been separated. But she had a very good reason for walking away from me because in that time I was too into destroying myself and I let her slip away.
I am so fucking happy to hear from her. To hear her voice again just sent me to heaven whether I've earned being there or not. I want to see her so badly and tell her that I didn't "murder" myself like she thought I was going to. I've got so much to talk to her about. :facepalm:
I seem to be getting a lot of people who were in my life during the dark times coming back. But, honestly, hearing from her is by far the most welcome. Last time I saw her she was walking away from me crying after telling me she couldn't watch someone she loved continue to destroy herself and refuse her help. :facepalm:

Got to talk to her for an hour. She's as wonderful as she was then. Teen CJ was way dumber than grown up CJ. :facepalm:
She was and is high on the list of most important people in CJ's life.
You know that feeling of losing someone you loved and it was all your fault, not theirs, and then they come back to you and tell you they never for one second stopped loving you? CJ has those feels right now. :'( I just want to wrap my arms around her and apologize for all of it. :facepalm:

After spending all day chilled to the bone, I finally thawed out in a steaming hot shower. Wasn't even concerned with getting clean.

Nice Shiela! I love running a tank dry of hot water on a cold day.
Dan and I went out for dinner tonight with one of the kids. At the restaurant, I saw and spoke with a friend of my sisters that I haven't seen since in a long time. Jill was as beautiful today as she was when she was a model and a Detroit Pistons dance girl 25 years ago. She was one of those classic beauties that seems to never age. Visiting with her brought back a lot of good memories.
Confession: Before the age of 42, I had 3 female sexual encounters. Each of them just a one time thing. Jill was one of them.

Friends and I showed up about an hour early to the polls. We stopped for coffee and muffins before going there. We were second in line and had fun chatting before going in to vote. Took ten minutes and I was done doing my part to dump trump. When I left there were probably 150 people in line. Might not have been necessary, but glad I showed up early anyways.

A tiny correction: That's not 71% of the electorate, it's 71% of the total votes cast in the 2016 election (around 136 million). We haven't had a voter turnout higher than 70% for a presidential election since William McKinley beat William Jennings Bryan in 1896.
I voted at my local polling place (a public school) this morning. There were no lines, I was in an out in less than 10 minutes, and seeing all the COVID-19 protection measures in place, it was likely the safest place in NYC.

1972 was the first year I could legally vote. It was Nixon, who in 1968 as a candidate, promised to bring the boys home from Vietnam. Four years later the United States were still in Vietnam but with far fewer military. McGovern ran on the peace platform and was soundly defeated by "Law and Order" tricky Dick Nixon. Back then, one had to be 21 to vote. And to legally drink in Illinois, regardless if one served their country in a war zone. :emot_weird:

Going on a bike ride if the weather stays nice. Putting up Christmas decorations (mainly lights) while the weather is nice. Raking the leaves (AGAIN), grrr.
Then, the highlight of my day. We're touring a bourbon local distillery at 4:00. I know it won't be anything like the distilleries in Kentucky, but I am looking forward to it. It's downtown Detroit. Then we are on going to my favorite pizza place. Buddy's Pizza (https://www.buddyspizza.com/about-buddys). I love their pizza, especially their crust and sauce.

I'm sure they would appreciate the business too. One of my friends knows a couple who own a deli shop in Appleton, that is struggling, they posted a picture on social media of an empty dining area. Said it's been empty for months. So all my friends are packing up the cars and driving put there for lunch, then hanging around and going back for dinner. I unfortunately, am unable to go as I work weekends. Maybe next time, it was a spur of the moment thing they decided last night.

Going on a bike ride if the weather stays nice. Putting up Christmas decorations (mainly lights) while the weather is nice. Raking the leaves (AGAIN), grrr.
Then, the highlight of my day. We're touring a bourbon local distillery at 4:00. I know it won't be anything like the distilleries in Kentucky, but I am looking forward to it. It's downtown Detroit. Then we are on going to my favorite pizza place. Buddy's Pizza (https://www.buddyspizza.com/about-buddys). I love their pizza, especially their crust and sauce. And I can't go without having their antipasto salad. So so good. It's been since before the pandemic since I've had Buddy's.
Sounds like a great day! Good weather too. Enjoy. Love antipasto salads. A meal unto themselves.

All the restaurants have customers and are somewhat busy at times. They are all operating with 50% seating, but they're still getting foot traffic. Sadly it's not an all day long thing though, and not normal hours. Most close around 9 o'clock where they'd normally be open until midnight and later. We've seen quite a few close around us over the past 8 months. Have to get out and support those that are still trying to make a go of it.

Up at 7:00 and had to go to the convenience store this morning for some creamer. Would be a quick in and out so why bother changing. So off I went in the rain in a wrinkled shirt, sleeping pants, and flip flops. I had at least pulled my hair back so help with the bed head. So I get there run inside and who do I run into, but BIG Ben. Why is he there? He shouldn't be there? He is supposed to be at work already. Oh, took the day off to help family before winter. In the rain? Oh, pre-planned vacation day. Took two days for veterans day.
So there I am, looking every bit of a midnight Walmart shopper, and he looks me up and down and says "damn, you can make anything look sexy." Thought he was joking until I focused on that look he was giving me. Instantly flushed. I needed him. He had time. I forgot the creamer.

No red skin on the top of it's head yet. That will develop by next spring, if the little one makes the migration flight.

Blue skies 50°. Much cooler than the 75° we had yesterday. Still better than the average low of 34°. We had window open last night. Finally shut them at 4am.
EVERYBODY was doing yard work last weekend. The compost trucks are going to be VERYbusy this week. We have ours out, but I don't expect it picked up until Friday. The amount of bags at everybodys houses is crazy. We have 18. I mulched as much as I could. I couldn't do anymore. The woods around the house are too much.

BTW...The grocery store was packed! I thought I'd have the place to myself with the holiday. Nope, pretty much like a regular day. Hope that's a sign many people didn't gather with family. I did notice most of the orders in the check out line were small.

I made lasagna twice recently, the first with an Italian sausage Bolognese and tomato sauce and the second with spinach and a Bechamel cheese sauce. They both were really good.
I suppose I could have said sauce Mornay, but not sure most would know that’s Bechamel with cheese. Toe might have known. I also recently made a Mornay sauce when I made mac & cheese for Thanksgiving. My mac & cheese never really worked until I figured out to make a Mornay sauce. I have a request to make it again for Christmas. One 5 year old girl was particularly insistent. Chirp is probably very familiar with such insistence.

You can have my piece, I'll pass on italian food, I always feel bloated after eating any.
Then calamari is out of the question? ;D

Went out and bought a new mattress today. Looking forward to better sleeping. Some days I wake up more tired than when I went to bed. Be two weeks before it gets here.
Didn't get approval from the cat tho'. Hates riding in the car. So, he didn't get to test the mattress. He does share the bed with me.
BTW... saleslady said people have brought their dogs in when mattress shopping. :emot_weird:

We got a new one 2 years ago I think. It's foam. Came in a box from Amazon. THE BEST mattress I've ever slept on.

We ended up with what they call a hybrid. It's coil springs topped with two layers of different memory foam. I guess I hadn't realized just how bad my mattress had become. After talking with me a bit, the sales lady had me try out a mattress. I could feel my body sink into the foam and felt it conforming to my shape.
Our saleslady asked me how it felt and I said nice and soft. She did a bit of a double take and said she was surprised at that as she'd had me try a firm mattress. Now my old mattress feels like sleeping on a board. No wonder I'm waking up so early every day. (3 AM today)
Due to Covid shut downs and delays in getting materials, it'll be two weeks before mattress is delivered. Delivery is free and included putting new mattress on the bed. For an extra $20.00, they're taking away the old one. I can barely lift the corners now when making the bed, so gladly willing to have it taken out for me.
As it's only me and the cat in the bed, there's an open invitation to any KBers who'd like to spend a night with us and try out the new bed. ;D

It’s been 3 years since I got a new mattress. I had been sleeping on something over 20 years old. I bought it about 6 months after my wife passed away, felt like I needed a change. I initially got a medium firmness, but my back was aching in the morning, so I exchanged for the firm, no more back ache. I sleep on my side, so while soft feels good watching TV in bed, anything other than firm does not have my spine in a good position.

What made my day...
VV's post about me in the Perv of the Year nominations. Not the nomination itself, but the mention of assistance I have given her.
I am happy that KB and Lois is giving the imaginative authors a place to display their creations, and I want to support all of you in anyway possible.
When someone takes the time to put their hearts and/or minds into something, I think it is important that as many people have the opportunity to see their work as possible. It's one of the reasons I'm so happy with the success of the Author Directory we put together mid-November, which is the end result of some PM's Sweetums and I had that started with our disagreement over my request that 'chapters' of stories stay in one thread.
Part of my duties at KB is not just be an enforcer of rules, but also to be of assistance to members. And I'm happy you appreciate my assistance, VV. And you're welcome. I'm just doing what I signed on to do. Thank you so much for thinking of me. We're just happy you found a home here at KB to display your talents.

Oh, what also made my day.
It was cold, but not too cold. Our oldest is 22 now and home from college. She has been struggling with her weight since being home. She told me she was going for a long walk. I asked if I could go with her. She was happy that I said I would.
So get this. We end up walking 14 miles. 14!!! She kept a nice brisk pace and never once stopped. The last 4 miles she was even pumping her arms nicely. I was so proud of her. It's the most exercise she's done at once in the past 5 years.
Tomorrow we're walking again. But not so far. Her goal is to lose 30. I will do everything I can to help her reach that goal. And Sunday she promised to let me teach her some dumbell exercises. She's seen me workout with them before and is a little apprehensive about me instructing her, hahaha. I'll go slow and steady with that though. I don't want to scare her away.

So after work I have to swing by my dad's get his little firepit, some wood, and lighter fluid. We've decided sitting outside my apartment and having a fire will have to do.
Because of distance and then the pandemic, I havent seen them in just over a year. I'm so excited :D

Had the time of my life this evening. Shannon and Alicia showed up around 4 and helped me get the fire going, thankfully it wasn't all that cold out anyways. The hardest thing to do was resist the urge to hig them both. We did the elbow bumb thing and that's the closest we got. As discussed they brought their own drinks and cups and the only time they went inside was to use the bathroom. They live in the same apartment building, just different floors.
We talked about the shooting at the mall, they weren't anywhere near it at the time, but a coworker was nearby when it had happened. Then it was catching up. Talked about men. Working around the pandemic, and then it was drinks, and singing along with our soundtrack. We were outside so we had to try and keep it down as best we could, but we were just having too much fun. Think the whole street heard us bellowing out to "Earl had to die" the song they gave me after David raped me.
Then it was more drinks, an ordered pizza, and then they had to go. They are staying over at a relative of Shannon's who has a huge camper for them to sleep in before they drive back tomorrow. It was short, it was sweet, and it was the best damn night I've had in 2020.

We took a 50 minute drive yesterday to drop of something wife sewed for them. It was a good excuse for wife to get out of the house. She has a hard time just going from room to room at home. Friends have large parcel of land on a small river. Cleared lots of trees, so plenty of wood. We sat around a fire and talked at a social distance. We're missing hugs too.

I baked a bunch cookies and quick breads (bye bye bananas), then because I had nothing better to do, I drove to friends houses and dropped off gift baskets with the goodies I made. About 6-7 hours of baking and an hour of driving, everything is gone. Last to be dropped off was a tray of pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting to my neighbors. Was kind of stingy as I only had enough ingredients for one batch. Hope they all enjoy it.

Lefse or Lutefisk? LOL.
Neither. Marinaded herring
During my travels in Scandinavia I was never offered Surströmming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming) though. ;D
Russians live on a diet of dark rye bread and pickled herring. My wife likes the vinegary variety. I like the creamed. That surströmming looks pretty nasty.

Apparently most depictions of Surströmming do not show the correct way to open the tin and serve it. Done correctly it is not as bad as misinformed youtubers make out.
It was even used as a forfeit in an episode of The Grand Tour.

Last night we went to a town festival that covers all the buildings in lights. The shops remain open late. We went with the kids and bumped into another couple of Dan's friends.
We all walked the town together.
Afterward, one of the couples invited us back to their home for a bonfire and drinks.
The kids were not interested so we brought them home and grabbed some drinks and went back. They have a really nice backyard with a gazebo that has a firepit in the center of it with a hole in the top for smoke to escape. And to block the wind, then have some roller type shades hidden between the rafters around the edges. It was so nice being out with a friends and having a drink by a fire.
And this morning I wake up and I just stink of smoke. I've already showered and gathered up our clothes and doing a load of laundry this morning.
Oh, and they had the sweetest dog. A lab I think. I had my mask on, except to take a drink, so the pet dander didn't bother me. Guess who his favorite was all night? me! Even when he had enough of me petting him, he laid beside me with his head resting on my shoes.

My step daughter just logged 10 miles walking this morning. She's happy, she's proud of herself, she's more confident in herself about this weight loss and fitness journey she has started. And now she just wet downstairs to work out with dumbbells for half an hour, before showering and heading to her mom's house for the day.
I'm so proud of her. She doesn't know how much weight she has lost yet. It's to be a Christmas morning surprise. She hasn't even stepped on a scale since she started.
I'm getting her two new pair of shoes for Christmas. She loves the ones she's working out in now and I'm getting her the exact same ones. You can never have too many running or walking shoes.
It was cold, but not too cold. Our oldest is 22 now and home from college. She has been struggling with her weight since being home. She told me she was going for a long walk. I asked if I could go with her. She was happy that I said I would.

I already sent the solution to Obi to show him I did it around noon yesterday.
I time myself when I do them. I discovered I made an error after 8 minutes in my first attempt. So, I started over and finished it in 21 minutes on my second attempt.
But then last night, I did a 2 star rated puzzle last night and it took me 25 minutes.
Sometimes I breeze through them. Other times I struggle.

Had to have some blood drawn yesterday, checking on my A1C levels for my diabetes. First person I saw had a sign in her bay that read: "Your vampire today is disguised as a phlebotomist." Got a good chuckle from that.
However, her printer didn't work, so couldn't print the labels for my samples. She shuffled me across the aisle to another bay and a different phlebotomist. This one had the following on her white board. (https://i.imgur.com/boynxVb.jpg)

They have a hard time finding a vein on me sometimes. Once a few years ago the girl was apologizing for about to try for the 4th time. I had been joking with her, well, because she was young and cute, and she was laughing at my comments. But then as she apologized again about all the needle pokes in both my arms, I said, ‘Don’t worry, this isn’t the most invasive thing today. Across the hall they just did a prostate exam.’
That’s when the girl lost it. She was laughing so hard she had to get another nurse to draw my blood.

Had yet another fantastic day. Spent maybe a little too much, but I regret nothing from today. Alicia had to go visit some relatives, but Shannon has nothing going on the rest of the night. She's changing and then stopping by my place before we both head over to my dad's to watch the Packer game. She is a hesitant. Just because we have a vaccine now, doesnt mean she can get careless. They both have satchels filled with cleaning supplies. They have more clorox wipes then I've seen since January.

Winter solstice 2020 in Northern Hemisphere was at 5:02 AM ET
From now until June 20, more daylight each day. Yay!

Not only does daylight become longer.
Speaking of the winter solstice and little gifts to the world, that's why Christmas is celebrated on December 25th.
The Gospels make no mentioned of the date of Jesus's birth, but there is a single hint in Luke's gospel that indicates it was likely around March 1, the time when the new lambs are born.
Meanwhile, there were two pre-Christian pagan festivals that were celebrated around December 25th -- the first day after the winter solstice when it became noticeably longer again, and the sun wasn't fading away forever. These feasts -- Sol Invictus (the all-conquering Sun) and Saturnalia, dedicated to the god Saturn, included elements that would be included in Christmas celebrations, including the exchanging of gifts and gathering to hold family meals.
In the early fifth century, the date on which Christmas was celebrated was set as December 25th, to coincide with these preexisting celebrations. And the liturgical calendar was adjusted according. Thus, the Feast of the Annunciation, when Jesus was conceived in Mary's womb, is celebrated exactly nine months before Christmas, on March 25. And, since at the time of the Annunciation the angel told Mary that her cousin Elizabeth was six months pregnant, the Feast of John the Baptist is celebrated on June 25th.
So, Happy Solstice, Sol Invictus, Saturnalia, and, eventually, Christmas!

Miss B teaches us so much.
I remember also that pagen traditions we're adapted for Christmas. The yule log was burned to bring light back to the dark world. Also for trees were brought into the home as a reminder that spring would return, turning the world green.
If I've remembered wrong, feel free to correct.

Post by: Shiela_M on December 22, 2020, 06:53:31 PM
It all depends on what you believe, but majority of our beliefs originate from the old Germanic or Anglo-Saxon religions.
Yule logs, yule block, yule trees, and even yule singers all adapted into Christmas traditions.
You are correct about the yule log being a ceremonial log burnt in celebrating surviving the harse environment and being able to witness the rebirth of the world. The yule tree is also a place to hang memorials for lost souls, ie Christmas ornaments, and it is usually placed on a symbolic cloth tree skirt, that represents the sun and life giving power. Also wreaths are made from removed branches which also represents the sun
Origins and specific practices vary greatly in interpretation.

At Burning Man every year, a huge elaborate temple is built from scratch on the playa. Practically everyone in Black Rock City visits the temple one or more times during the week. The temple is filled with messages to and about lost love ones. Many messages are about the dead: lives cut short, lives well lived, or lives roughly lived. But the messages could be about anything: a dead pet, a dead relationship, anything. The messages are uniformly moving and heartfelt, and looking at them puts me in a condition of reverence for all humanity. So many people expressing so much sorrow and loss.
On Sunday night they burn the temple to the ground, completing all those hurts in a very final and tangible sort of way.
Just talking about this has me wanting to return to Black Rock City to mourn my dead company. I spent a decade on it, and I haven't back to Burning Man since it failed.

Nope, you're spot on. There's a long list of modern-day Christmas traditions that are of pagan origin, including Christmas trees and wreaths, yule logs, mistletoe, holly, and even egg nog! (Though if you spike your egg nog with Jack Daniels, that was made y good Christians in Lynchburg, TN, which is in a dry county.)
To my mind, their origins are irrelevant, and their pagan origins don't matter. They're all become part of the celebration. Nor do I see any conflict between the secular and religious celebrations of Christmas. My local parish has Christmas trees, wreaths, and many boughs of holly. And it's all good.

It was the last day of school before Christmas break. Our grandson, who is in second grade, was emptying out his book bag and along with his books and papers were Christmas cards from some of his classmates. I happened to read two of them, both from girls and both saying how much my grandson makes their days so much fun and how he makes them laugh. Grandpa is proud. A chip off the old block.

Watching the morning news, they showed a home totally overdone with Christmas Decorations and lights. They may be able to see it from space.
Next door, the neighbor had a sign on his house with an arrow pointing to the overlord house next door.
The sign simply said, "Ditto".

Snowblower started! First time is always iffy. I'm bad about burning out the gas in the tank when winter is over. Still had a tankful in my gas can too. So old gas in, primed and hit the electric start. Got one cough and on second attempt, ROAR!!!
Only 4-5 inches of snow but wind created white out conditions. Did my walks and took care of the front walks for two neighbors.
I remember how excited I got as a kid. Grabbing my sled after the first snow and hiking to the big hill in the pasture. Wheeeeee! Now it's, *&+#*#&*, etc.

I spent Christmas Eve at my dad's house. My half-brother Jason and his family were supposed to be there as well this year but since the pandemic, all we did was a video chat with him and the kiddos. My dad dropped the presents off with them earlier that morning, and we watched the kids opened them, well he did anyways, they got the normal card, and money from me, but I changed it up a bit this year, I got them a board game, and each a personalized dog pooping 2020 Christmas ornament. They all laughed at them so it was worth it.
I cooked us dinner and then slept over, woke up to a big "hunters" breakfast as my dad calls it. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, bacon, toast, bacon, sausages, and of course bacon. Then me and dad opened the gifts we got each other. I bought him a new arm chair caddy and a giftcard to home depot. He gave me cold hard cash, and that was it. Spent the rest of the day watching christmas movies and just talking till late afternoon. Went home curled up under a blanket watched my favorite Christmas movies and fell asleep on the couch.
Hope you all had a fantastic day yesterday love you all :emot_kiss:

We got home safely from Florida mid day yesterday. Yay. We had a nice time but the weather was really yucky. We had a boat rented for the week and four wave runners and only were able to use them one day. :( 5 beautiful sunsets made it worth the trip alone. I was the only one to enjoy the sunrises as everyone else enjoyed their vacation time by sleeping in late.
After we got home yesterday, we were invited to a NYE celebration. It's just our family and theirs. 9 of us total. Dan's two oldest are friends with their son and daughter of the same ages. The gathering is in their heated garage that also has a ventilation cross breeze. Dan is going over early to help move their giant screen TV into the garage. We are also wearing masks. Karaoke (one family gets one mic, one family gets the other mic), games, charades, and they're big into Yahtzee. So a Yahtzee tournament. And beer pong. And a couple of new games that were received for Christmas, we were each told to bring our own fully charged iPads and some games are played on those.

I got out of bed and made a cup of tea and am nice and comfy sitting on the couch in the new super soft, super comfy blanket that I got for Christmas. And though the fresh coating of white outside usually makes me say, "Eww! Ick!". It is very pretty this morning.

Popped on to say hi and see what is going on. I hear someone stirring upstairs so need to get off the computer.
Having a great time with his family. They're all great. LOVING his sister, who I've only met briefly a couple of times. Feed the girl a little wine and WOW, things can get crazy. My Father-in-Law likes bourbon, so we're having a really good time. And my father and his girlfriend have been over much of the days. A crocheting discussion started and then out came the (what are they called?) hooks came out the next day. And now, all the females in the house are learning to crochet, even our 3 girls.

I replied straight away thanking him for thinking of a poor Brit ahead of all his compatriots, I also told him that being somewhat conversant with the differences between American and British english that I hoped he would spend some of the $300 on evening classes to improve his grammar and spelling which he must have learnt from all those nice Nigerian Princes that also email me. I was sure he would have plenty of time for this when that nice Mr. Biden replaced him with someone else as Secretary of State.

I'm not trying to one-up you, but this morning I received an email from a woman in Africa (she doesn't specify which country) named Sarah Mandy. She is dying of a brain tumor and has no living relatives (her husband died of COVID in June 2020). She wants to give me a $38 million inheritance, and, apparently, her bank manager is waiting for word from her to immediately release the funds to me.
Her English is perfect, if a bit stilted. The message ends, "Pending for the confirmation message of your approval and your ability to work for the Glory of Almighty God."
So, if your deal doesn't work out, please let me know, and I can loan you the difference.

I got in line at the grocery store, while Dan went to get some shrimp that we had forgotten to get. We were only getting a few things and I was standing in the express lane. Socially distancing and all. A women in front of me. Three boys behind me. Then I heard someone behind me say, "Nice ass".
I was going to ignore, but after a few seconds turned around. 3 boys in the 18 year old range. All three looking at me from behind masks. I look from one to the others, looking them straight in the eye. I was pretty sure by reactions that it was the boy on the left. I turn back around.
The same voice says, "Total MILF material."
I ignore them because if I were to say something they wouldn't understand anyways.
Dan comes walking up next to me with the shrimp.
I say, "Rub my butt."
"Huh?"
"Do it."
He puts his hand on my jean covered butt and rubs around. I say, "Now turn around and look at the 3 boys behind us, then give my butt a good squeeze and wink at them."
So Dan does.
I can hear one boy start laughing and say to another boy, "Oh, She just totally owned you" (at least 'owned' is what we think he said).
Though they were disrespectful, I'll take it as a compliment.

My first thought was how well Jules has Dan trained to respond to her commands and not ask questions. Yeah...rude little punks. Maybe if Jules will post a picture of the object of their attention we can better understand their behavior. Jules?
I do have it on good authority that men, even 75 years old, occasionally admire a shapely young "booty". If I resemble that remark it's just a coincidence. ;D

I feel left out. No one ever sends me these emails. I know...I know. I'd just like to laugh it off...unless it looked legit. :facepalm:
I'm with you ms, I don't get those emails anymore. I just get calls from some woman saying her name is IRiS and I never paid them last year, and I'm like "whatever scammer", and hang up.
Just kidding, I pay my taxes
No joke, I once got a call from IRiS telling me that the sheriff was on his way to arrest me for tax evasion, and the only way to stop him from kicking down my door (well, IRiS didn't quite say it like THAT but I got the point) was to pay the $3000 I supposedly owed right then and there. But before I could pay, IRiS would need my name, address, and SSN to confirm my identity.
'Well, how does the sheriff know where to go and who to arrest if you need me to verify all that?'
Sir, you MUST give me that information right now or will be arrested!
'Uh, and why does the sheriff need to know my social?'
Sir.. SIR! Listen to me! You only have a few seconds or you will go to prison. I repeat, you MUST give me your name, address, social security number, also your credit card information..
'What if I offer to write the sheriff a check and hand it to him personally? You wanna wait on the phone until he gets here? Hope he figures out the address soon enough.'
*click*
'IRiS? Hey, IRiS? Where'd you go? The sheriff hasn't gotten here yet!'

Had my yearly physical last week. Doc is still annoyed with my cholesterol levels, and knows that I'm utterly disinterested in fixing it. If I ever begin to get atherosclerosis, then we'll talk. Until then, my body is fine with the cholesterol.
She ordered a 'colorectal screening' test. Okaaaayyy, so I get to poop in a plastic jar. I didn't get a notification from the lab she always uses, and a box mysteriously showed up at my door yesterday via UPS. I filled in all of the info on the sample sheet, did the deed, and poured the preservative over the 'sample' before sealing the box. I'd already called UPS back to pick it up, and left it on the porch.
The UPS guy shows up today, and it's gone. Porch pirates got a surprise package! :emot_laughing: Geez, I hope they don't try EATING it. That preservative is toxic.

I wouldn't list this as Made My Day, but no where else to put it.
A little over a week ago, the kids mom (Dan's ex) informed them that she was going to have to get a hotel room for the weekend because of some work going on in her house. I suggested she just come stay with us. The girls were happy. Dan was not happy. But I just didn't think it was right that she's in a cramped little hotel room while we've got room at our place for her. So she came and stayed with us. And we all had fun together with games, karaoke, puzzles, cards, movies. Dan suffered through it.
Well, yesterday she found out that she needs to vacate the house for a week. When Dan heard, he looked at me and said, "NO!"
And he had no sooner said that when I looked at the girls and told them to invite their mother to stay with us.
I have two daughters extremely happy with me. I have a husband that is not very happy with me. Hmmm, how to make it up to him?!

Temp in Detroit at the same time tomorrow is forecast to be 14 degrees. I found tickets to Florida for $115 round trip per person the other day. Dan and I are flying later this afternoon.

Indeed it could. When I went out for a run this morning around 6:30 am, it was 15 degrees with a very strong wind, making it feel like it was 10 below. While I know this doesn't compare with Minneapolis or Green Bay, it was very frigid.

It's well deserved: I'm in the High Risk group for a double-handful of reasons, plus I've spent over half of my spare time and a quarter of work time this last year trying valiantly to keep 600+ people alive, whether they want my help or not! I knew quite a bit about infection control and continued learning and improving our game as time went on.
We've had >50 positives in 11 months, and only one probable community-transmission case; everyone else got it outside work.

Heading to VA yesterday for my Covid shot, I got near the gate to the grounds. The street we totally blocked by a large flock of turkeys. Maybe 15 or more.
They were just milling around, keeping me just short of the gate. Another car was trying to leave and was not able to make his turn without hitting a bird. Very slowly, one by one, the flock left the street to the opposite sidewalk.
Three Tom's were in charge of the flock and we're on alert should anyone dare try to interfere with their women. Standing tall, tail feathers spread, they looked formable.
The whole episode gave me a good laugh. I wasn't able to get out and grab a picture. Sorry.

Thank you! Sadly, wasn't really great weather. Very windy so we didn't take the boat out in the Gulf or the Atlantic. I enjoyed 3 sunrises out of the ocean. And we went to a park that has a great view for a sunset. Sunrises out of the ocean and into the ocean is in my top 10 favorite things to see. The pool at our rental was wind protected, so I did have some tanning time. Water was too cold. We don't usually do beaches. Wave runners and boating but as I said, didn't get any water time. We did do Key West one day though. Irish Kevin's is my favorite bar there. The Sunset Celebration (https://www.mallorysquare.com/sunset-celebration/) was very cloudy, but street entertainers are always fun.
Hope the weather hasn't been too bad for you. And still a bit sad for you that the Packers didn't make it in to the Super bowl game.

That's a terrible shame the weather wasnt ideal, but glad you were able to make do with what there was. Almost always guaranteed a perfect sunset and sunrise when near the water. Obviously I'm a bit jealous of anybody who gets to spend off time in the sun near water.
I'm ok with them not making it to the super bowl. I get my sunday free time back to myself. Enjoy the family get togethers, but at some point it seems more like forced family fun. My dad will have a super bowl party just to have one. He'll be rooting for KC. He always roots for the team that's playing against whoever knocked the packers out.

Texas is ranked pretty close to the bottom in Covid vaccine distribution. Only about 1/3 of the vaccine we’ve received has actually ended up in someone’s arm. All of the sites are overwhelmed, and most of them have shut down.
My little brother found out about a little town that is a Texas approved distribution hub. He got on the phone today and waited in line, to get me a vaccine appointment tomorrow for the good Moderna vaccine, no less.
After sitting at home for ten months, I cannot imagine having some modicum of confidence that I will not end up at a hospital or die from COVID-19. And I guess my little brother does love me, after all.
Well I think that's fantastic. Love hearing about animals finding forever homes. ;D

I was reading an article earlier about side effects during following the second shot. Nothing to freak about, just be prepared as what to possibly expect.

Last time I was in the hospital, they had me intubated for 17 hours. I would have to say that was the worst 17 hours of my life. It made the open heart surgery look like a cakewalk.
So I’m not worried about side effects or other complications, I’m a pretty tough old bird. As long as I can eliminate the possibility of being on a ventilator for weeks, or dying in the hospital separated from my family, I’m gonna be OK.

I guess ppl react different. With all my health issues, I've never had a bad reaction to any drug or vaccination. My two shingles shots did leavey arm a bit sore.
Title: Re: What MADE your day today?
Post by: RopeFiend on February 06, 2021, 09:49:59 PM
In 99.75% of the cases (from what I'd read), the only common vaccine reaction was injection site pain. I had it myself: couldn't raise that arm above my head the first evening, no pain at all the second day. I didn't have any reaction except for the injection site pain. From the length of the needle, I'm pretty sure she hit a lung on the way in. :o
Other reactions include common flu symptoms, which faded in 1 to 3 days for nearly everyone. Adverse reactions are in the parts-per-million range, less likely than you being struck by lightning. Given 1 probable death per 124 million doses for a fatal reaction, your risk is minuscule compared to your risk of NOT vaccinating: about 1 in 1000 dead. You don't need to be a math wizard to see those odds.
On the plus side, people in Israel that have been the unlucky 5% and got COVID after vaccination all had mild cases so far, and none needed hospitalization. Israel has nationalized medicine, and they're tracking EVERYTHING. The USA isn't tracking shit, other than the few adverse reactions.
I'm in the 'high risk' group for a handful of reasons, so I vax'd as soon as possible in late January. However, there's a slim chance I have a pre-existing immunity. 2003: SARS-1 hits China and Taiwan. 2004: SARS-1 contained. 2006: I get an unknown viral lung infection on a plane out of Asia that the CDC couldn't identify, with symptoms like COVID pneumonia - it lasted a month. March 9, 2020 COVID hits Dallas. March 25, I get a moderate fever for 4 days & crap in my lungs. Nasal swab tests negative. Thanksgiving, I get another fever for 32 hours and more crap in my lungs, again negative on the nasal swab, and IgM-spike antibody test is also negative. Feb 2 another fever for 2 hours and crap in my nose (but not lungs this time), no test.
There are a total of 24 different types of antibodies that they could look for and only 1 that they commonly look for, but what they can't test for are antibodies with a cross-reactivity to COVID. From the rapid immune response, I'm proof against something(s) on 3 occasions, and the reaction is getting faster. There's still zero influenza in Dallas, so it's likely not that. Could be pneumonia: I had both shots 2 & 3 years ago, but it's pretty rare outside of a hospital. My bet is I've been exposed to COVID 3 times, with minimal results. COVID is rampant all over Dallas (about 1 in every 80 people), and is the most probable infection. By the odds we ought to have 8 or 9 pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic people at work every day. I'm out among them EVERY day.

She just "renamed" Dan and apparently things took off from there.
We Tivoed the Puppy Bowl and will be watching that later. A much tougher game...no pads or helmets.

I missed the puppy bowl. We couldnt get it at work, and was done with by the time I got to my dad's house. Besides. I was surrounded by dogs and two puppies most of the day. Since it's so cold we spend more time than normal with them. We have heat, but it can't as effective when it is this cold.

We watched it earlier also. All so cute. I have watched one before, but most other times I was at a party and didn't watch it. With just the family, we settled in front of the TV about 4pm until after the game was over. The dogs were fun to watch.

Got wife scheduled for her first Covid-19 vaccine FINALLY! It's been scary. Signed up for the Minnesota vaccine lottery. She was one of over 200 thousand. Needless to say we weren't "winners".
Her medical clinic helped her find their site to schedule an appointment. She had 'em text me the info, as she has trouble navigating on the computer.
Since then, I check every day only to get a screen saying no appointments available. Today up pops a new screen with locations and times for appointments. I started trying various times, only to be told "pick another time".
Finally went to a different day and got a confirmation on first time I selected. I was getting very discouraged as it began to look like nothing would ever be available.
Wife is 82 and in poor health. It's doubtful she'd survive if she contracts the virus. On the plus side her health keeps her at home most of the time.
Minnesota is doing good. We're ranked number 14 of the 50 state for getting vaccine into arms. I feel for people in the backwards states.

I went to the gym this morning. Half the equipment was gone, and what was there is spaced out at least twelve feet apart, according to them, but it seemed closer. I haven't done any type of weight training in a year and it shows. Calisthenics only get me so far, and to be honest, I hardly even did any at my apartment.
It was -8° when I got up this morning and enough was enough. I'm going back to the gym. After the gym, I went next door and hit upthe tanning booth.

I saw a dermatologist on Monday for a brown patch on my temple. He assured me it’s completely benign, and I can have it removed in the future if I wish. He did say it was caused by too much sun and asked me if I use sun screen, and then asked if I used tanning booths. I answered ‘sometimes’ and ‘never’.

My sister and I used them twice a week from 18 years old until I was 28. Kettle, meet Mr. Black But haven't used them since. I didn't have any damage from them that I know of, maybe it just hasn't presented itself yet. My sister did have problems though.

I had actually quit using them for about two years a while ago. Heard about a woman who died because she overdid it. Apparently she was getting married and decided to get a tan. Scheduled appointments at three different salons and basically cooked her insides.
I'm not that desperate for a tan or that stupid.

Back when we went to Mexico every winter, we'd get tan before leaving. Helped prevent sunburn. Going out with pasty white skin would turn you red in a few minutes.

One of the reasons I use them. I need to keep that tan going otherwise I'll crisp up the first time I go out in the sun. I can get quite paste white if out of the sun for too long.
And I have done that on a few occasions Toe. The heat, the smell of oils, laying their naked or almost naked with people talking just outside the door... bit thrilling

I can only tan by being on vacation and easing into the sun exposure each day. Maybe the first day I wait 20-30 minutes in the sun, then add sunscreen SPF 5000 or something. And about a week after returning, any slight tan I did get is gone. My Peruvian on the other hand can peek outside and instantly turn a deep brown. The first summer we were together we went to Hawaii in August; she had tan lines well into the following year from that trip. I think it took a whole year before the tan lines from a week in Hawaii disappeared completely.

I'm in the process of having a dental implant put in. The implant was placed in the jaw months ago. Today, I was only supposed to be measured for the replacement tooth, but my dentist took note of the tooth next to the gap-which an earlier dentist had made a mess of. So, my dentist placed a temporary crown on that tooth. I am glad I scheduled this for a Friday afternoon as I am in pain now. I wouldn't want to work with this pain. The next and final appointment will be scheduled on a Saturday, so I won't have to miss work and have until Monday to recover.

We are above freezing for the first time since Friday. The second longest continuous freezing period in local history. And, thank God, no broken pipes. So many friends are discovering they have water shooting out of their walls today. I maintained a slow drip on all the faucets. It looks like everything made it. That’s what I’m thankful for. What I’m still upset about is our ridiculous Texas electric grid continues to cycle out. So I have no power at the moment. It comes on for about an hour, then it goes off for an hour. And it looks like it may continue to be this way for a number of days. We had a lot of freezing rain overnight, and ice laden tree branches have downed power lines, adding to an already insufferable problem. But we are staying warm. We have salty snacks. We are almost out of beer. But this too shall pass.

I missed this post yesterday. So sorry to you and everyone affected by this. We've got cold, but we're built for it. Loss of power in the winter is the worst - and the reason so many of us own portable generators.
That the houses have so little insulation in them that it is freezing things in peoples cupboards is just crazy. I never thought about that prior.

Caramel de'lites, s'mores', and peanutbutter patties...
Peanut Butter Patties = Tag-A-Longs in Michigan. These are IT! This what I keep spare boxes of in the freezer so they last all year long. Each month I open a new one, while keeping the newly opened box in the freezer. And when I want a treat. I'll go down and get one. Takes me a full month to eat a box. If at the end of the month there are a few left. I eat them all as a reward for good eating all month. I know, kind of counter productive. I also like to get one frozen cookie out and chop it into tiny little pieces and sprinkle it over two scoops of vanilla ice cream.
S'mores = YUMMY. New kid on the Michigan scene about 3 years ago. I love these also.
Caramel De'Lites? We don't have those here. We have Samoas which is it's close cousin. Found this on a google search...
Quote
Not only are Samoas bigger, but filled with dark chocolate and more toasted coconut, aka the best part of the cookie, leaving Caramel deLites in the dust. If you were to go for a caramel cookie, there are tons of other options, but how many other delicious toasted coconut and chocolate cookies with a mixture of caramel are out there? None.

I only buy one box of each of those... from three different people :facepalm:
I give my dad half of them, and then I eat the rest like I'm preparing for hibernation. My Carmel De'lites are usually at least half gone for next morning with my coffee. I too freeze the peanut butter patties, just like I freeze my Reeses peanut butter cups. Still dont last all that long.

I’ve had a few flavored whiskeys before including peanut butter, although the bottle was different than above. I do not recall the brand for the peanut butter, but I remember my liquor store recommending Bird Dog Blackberry Whiskey.
Despite my love of peanut butter, I did not like any of these flavored whiskeys. All I’ve tried were too sweet. If they could infuse the flavor and ease up on the sugar, I might like them.
And watcher is correct about chocolate and red wine.
Try this: a decadent dessert, let’s say chocolate peanut butter pie; take a very small bite of pie followed by a sip of bourbon. Once the burn of the bourbon fades, take a sip of red wine. Repeat until the decadent dessert is gone and you have trouble getting out of your chair.

Congratulations! I get my second one in about ten days. But remember, regardless of which vaccine you get, you won’t get full protection until two weeks after your second or final dose. That’s how long it takes your immune system to mount an antibody response to the vaccine.

Yes... precautions still will be taken. Had tongue in cheek.

Still happy the stubborn ass got it.
Oh yeah, and its national margarita day :emot_updwn:

And... still no research on how long the vaccine will protect. It's all new ground for everyone.
As the vaccines have only been around for about 8 months, it's a little hard to do long-term testing on them. :emot_kiss:
China tested some of the people that got SARS-1 in 2003/2004... 12 years later, they still had active antibodies (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.12.20021386v1). As long as the virus doesn't mutate so far that your antibodies don't recognize it, you could be at least partially protected for quite some time.

I am hearing rumors that the two vaccine shots might not be enough and that a booster shot may be needed. Though scientists have been preparing for such a time when a pandemic hits the United States, they could not possibly have a vaccine ready because they could not have known what type of a virus it would be. So rushing a vaccine into the market with very little testing is risky at best but needed. Will it stem the spread? Wearing masks and social distancing seems to be reducing the spread and is a proven method. We will have to wait on the vaccine's effectiveness.

There's so much bad information floating around, and it seems everyone's a virologist or pandemic expert these days. It's great that your taking the time to absorb science and real information --- and that you're sharing it with others!

My new oversized Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tom Brady jersey was delivered by the UPS man today (replacing the damaged one that came a week ago). I got it for wearing around in the evening when we get our PJ's on, instead of just walking around in my tank top, it'll sort of be a coverup in the evenings.
So the big question is...... do I wear it in that fashion tonight? Or do I let Dan wear it to bed tonight and we can play the game, "Tom Brady pays Jules a visit". hmmm, that could be fun. In case you didn't know, I have a thing for #12.

I vote let Dan wear it. I used to love it when jake would wear my Nelson jersey. Ok so it was originally his, but I took it from him. After "the game," it would smell like him until I had to wash it, and then I'd let him wear it again.

Today was my foster daughter’s birthday. She has been pestering me for weeks about a new phone that she wants. I was very coy, “Well I don’t know Devochka... it’s very expensive... I’m not sure.”
So I secretly bought it and arranged for delivery today. She was absolutely ecstatic. It my warmed my heart to remember when getting something you wanted badly could bring such joy and excitement.
So I’ve been getting photos and texts and TikToks all day. So happy to get them. So sad because I haven’t seen her in a long while, and I really miss her.

Actually, it is What MADE my night - for the first time in two months I slept from 10pm until 5am. The longest stretch, by far. It was so good.
MJ - great to hear. I have spent many hours being tested by neurologists. They all say I have a problem but......no fooling. Funny, the pain and nerve meds I am taking for this latest mishap has helped with the nerve issues in my legs.

Hearing from MJ truly made my day. She usually says “hey, I’m going up to the cabin for a few days...” but not this time. The mind left to wander will come up with some pretty horrible explanations.
And today is International Women’s Day. Not a big thing in the US, but huge in Russia and the FSU. Schools snd businesses are closed. I like the holiday, because instead of honoring only mothers, all women are honored. It’s just a great occasion to make the ladies in your life feel special. How do you do that you ask? I made a coffee cake.

My first through was, "You give her the most earth-shaking orgasm of her entire life!"
But you're right, a homemade coffee cake works, too.
This morning on my way home after my morning jog I stopped by a local bakery and bought a donut. It was a freshly made Boston Cream donut, and it was about twice the size of the ones at Dunkin Donuts.
It took me several hours to finish it off, and "orgasmic" is the perfect word to describe my experience.

I should’ve put that in what’s the last thing you put in your mouth. But this was an ingredient intensive undertaking. 3 cups of flour, two sticks of butter, a cup of sugar, a cup of brown sugar, 2 cups of powdered sugar, walnuts, milk, vanilla, baking powder... it seems like I had half the refrigerator in there at one point. But it came out so good. Warm and gooey... just like bukkake.

As I said above, I meant to login during the car ride there but fell asleep and when I woke up, we were at the cabin. We don't have internet, we don't have cell towers. All we have is a landline. We have to travel 20 miles into town to get a cell signal.
I know my health history isn't the greatest, and should have known me going missing in action would likely worry some of you. If anything were to actually happen to me, Dan knows how to contact Toe through my spam gmail account.
Sorry, and I love you guys for caring so much about me.

In physical therapy this morning for my shoulder/arm and I kept noticing a young woman working out on all the stations. Her legs were very muscular and I told myself she must play soccer. While icing my shoulder after therapy, she happened to walk past and I said to her "if I had to guess what sport you play, I am guessing soccer". She said yes, how did I know. I told her that her legs remind me of those who play a lot of soccer. Turns out she plays for Chicago's women professional soccer team, The Chicago Red Stars and some of the players use the site to work out. We chatted a good ten minutes about women's soccer. She was even wearing the number that I wore when I played. 8)

Well, I'm patting myself on the back anyway, because it was incredibly difficult to get her to sit down with the marriage counselor at all. And it was the right thing to do.
It is conceivable that my marriage can be saved. SO many steps to go through for that to work. If we can pass all of them, it will be a complete miracle. Who knows, though. The relationship could be more amazing than ever on the other side of that. I'm a very optimistic person.

The claw game, a pacman machine, and pinball machines. They are normally shut down during Covid but Dan asked if there was a chance they would turn them on for us. Our server said sure and plugged in the pinball machines. I haven't played on one in I don't know how many years. I must have put 10 dollars in quarters in it. I loved it.

This is a bit last minute, but Dan and I are leaving town for a week. We are meeting his cousin and her husband in Vegas and travelling with them in the area for a week.
We'll be back in town on the 28th.
I might be on tonight, but I may not be. I just wanted to report my whereabouts hahaha.
I'll miss you all.

I thought the exact same thing, and I was worried, too.
When I contracted the virus last March, my symptoms were exactly the same, especially the body aches. And while I lost my senses of taste and smell (and, a year later, they aren't the same as they were before), not everyone who contracts the virus loses those senses.

Awe, thanks everybody.
It might not have been covid, I'm going in to get tested, but an RN said that since it wasn't a dry cough it might have been the flu or a nasty cold.
I'll find out soon enough, I didn't want to get tested because I dont want that swap. Heard that is terrible.

I am always very cautious about bringing up the subject of coronavirus. It’s sort of like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. Best to just to pray quietly to yourself, than needlessly upset someone you care about. Or have some QAnon Karen go off about the hoax.

Post by: _priapism on March 24, 2021, 08:42:34 PM
Good point. Not that I thought Shiela would go off on a rant that it's all just a Chinese/international communist conspiracy, but I've gotten into the habit of not bringing up the subject just because you never know how people will react. While I don't know anyone personally who thinks Covid is a hoax, I know several who think that the virus is just another form of the flu at worst, and that the situation is deliberately exaggerated by the government to try to curb our rights. One got Corona herself and didn't really have any symptoms, which then just reinforced her opinion. Meanwhile, another one who got Corona was pretty miserable for about a week, and he now admits he no longer thinks its exaggerated.
Anyway, glad to hear everything is better Shiela. You may want to follow up on that thumb-to-ass Covid test idea ;)

So I got to the doctor's office and I was offered the anal Swab thing, and it was going pretty good until I found out this guy doesn't even work there. So after he finished went in got the Qtip to the brain and I was out pretty quick.
That swap really is uncomfortable to say the least, thought they had spead up the processing and I'd know by the end of the day, but they said it would take about 24 hours.

Yesterday actually. Made first trip of the spring to my favorite wildlife refuge. And...wild life it was. Taking pictures of a pair of Trumpeter Swans peacefully swimming on the lake when (gasp) the male mounted the female and, in a few more weeks cygnets!
Stately Swans on the lake. (https://i.imgur.com/o7jvOZL.jpg)
And then... :o (https://i.imgur.com/qjMXq1u.jpg)
Whole episode took just a minute or so. No foreplay, just wham bam and now lets go lay some eggs. Collar on the male is a radio transmitter.
Sandhill Cranes are just starting to come back for their "winter vacation". Heard this on coming and had the camera ready when it appeared over the trees. (https://i.imgur.com/0DabYM5.jpg)
Red-Wing Blackbirds are back, males anyway. They return first, stake out their territory and the gals come in later ready to get down to business. (https://i.imgur.com/wTaMWs9.jpg)

The collars are well fitted. Remember, layer of feathers under there. Also collars designed to break away easy so they can't get too tight, or in case it gets snagged on a branch.
Thanks for your concern. In the late 1960s, Trumpeter Swans were extinct in lower 48 states. Some were found in Alaska and eggs brought here and hatched. Now their population thrives...a real success story.

Just watched an interview with Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth. What an amazing woman. From early struggles in childhood with poverty, getting into college, signing up for ROTC and in the Army becoming a helicopter pilot, and losing both legs from a RPG attack.
She's gone on to serve in the House of Representatives and now the Senate. She's not afraid to speak her mind, throwing in some crusty language once in a while.
Her autobiography comes out Tuesday. I've pre ordered it. I want to know more about this fantastic leader.
Title: Re: What MADE your day today?
Post by: watcher1 on March 28, 2021, 04:22:42 PM
I think Biden should have appointed her to some high level post, like head of the VA. Her and another senator from Hawaii had a mini protest over Biden's not including Asians in his top picks, except for Harris, his VP. Biden soon promised to appoint an Asian and her protest ended.
Title: Re: What MADE your day today?

I think that's exactly the point. She was well-qualified to serve in Biden's cabinet, but she's more valuable in the Senate.
But it shouldn't be lost that her point was perfectly valid. Asian-Americans make up 6% of the U.S. population, and 0% of Biden's cabinet.

Bald eagle population soaring.
From 2009 until this year, the bald eagle population in the lower 48 states has quadrupled. Now there are 71,400 nesting pairs and an estimated 316,700 individual birds.
In 1963, the nesting pairs were at an all time low of 417 known nesting pairs, due to hunting and DDT.

Extended our stay for a bit. Currently in Arizona. To Vegas airport tomorrow. I'll be home Friday, but likely won't be on until Saturday.
I've not been online. No internet access at all. When I did, we called the kids. Hiking the National Parks since the day we arrived. I have over 130 miles on these boots according to Dan's GPS. SOOOO much fun.

BUT, at home I arrived to the house looking like a tornado went through it. NO, I'M NOT CLEANING IT. 3 young ladies will be for sure. And their grandfather can help.
AND here at KB, there are used condoms all over the Hot Tub Room. One spinning around up on the fan. What the heck is wrong with you boys. I was only gone for 10 days. Good god, you're adults, act like it. Do I have to lock it before I leave next time? Rick, why do you look so guilty.
Once it's cleaned, all men will have a15 day ban from the hot tub. Except Toe. I really missed him.

Wow! After all winter inside, wife was going through dog withdrawal. Warmer weather neighbors stop by with their dogs so she can play with 'em on the front step.
First to stop was Teddy, a 10 year old St. Bernard...and he's a big teddy bear. While greeting him we saw a medium size brown dog two doors down, unleashed and unaccompanied. I went over and brought him back to our yard. He and Teddy got along just fine. Called the number on the collar and asked person if they were missing a dog. She came right down and got him and we visited for a while.
Then a friend stopped by. Had some fabric for the wife. She's dog sitting for a few days and brought the pooch along. So, lots of petting, treats handed out and wet face from doggy kisses. :D

Our "Biden Bucks" showed up in our checking account this morning. Those of us on Social Security had to wait for SSA to get their act together and send the information to the IRS.
When this latest relief effort was announced, we discussed how to spend it. I mentioned another trip to the Black Hills. As wife has bad back and cao sleep in a bed, that poses a problem.
Her solution was fore to go on my own. So, one more reservation to make and May 20th, my cera and I will hit the road. Thanks Joe!

I was supposed to meet up with friends this evening for a few drinks, but one found out that a sports bar nearby was having live music we all changed plans in a snap. Been so long since I was at a concert or anywhere with live music, I wasn't going to pass it up.
They have a very large outside patio and the band had set up next to it with their own tent. We tried to get there early as possible so we could be under the patio roof because it has heating vents that hang over the bar area. Found out we didnt need to show up that early because there was only half the people there than what we expected.
When the music started that's when people started really showing up. It was a little upsetting that maybe half the people were wearing masks but to be honest I kind of expected it. I kept mine on unless I was actually drinking. The band was pretty good, and we were able to request a few songs. They mostly played a lot of classic rock.
The only bad part was when this one guy wouldn't stop trying to dance with us. He didn't target any one of us specifically, but he was getting way to handsie for our liking. My friend/co-worker Kim, who is bisexual, was there, so we decided to act like we were a couple and started just dancing with each other. Slower ballets we held each other closed and that's when she kissed me. I kissed her back and before I knew it, she had her arms wrapped around me and my fingers were in her hair. We were kissing so hard my.lips almost hurt. Just kidding, that last part never happened, but I couldn't help myself. The problem with that guy is true, and it wasnt until the band actually called him out that he left us alone.
We're both Negative, but doctor also told me it was too soon to test after exposure. He also said it's a plus that I got the first shot on Saturday.
We'll be staying locked away in our house quarantining away from everyone. But if it's nice I'm going to go for a run. I have to run after DESTROYING an entire box of Samoa girl scout cookies. All by myself in about 12 minutes. All because of my nerves and the thought of possibly being infected.
If you go back for another test, I'm sure itll be negative as well. As for the Samoa cookies, somtimes I call that breakfast. Half or whole box with a pot of coffee :facepalm:
Hoping the best outcome for you

I had a very satisfying win in court today. It is unusual to take a criminal case to trial. It is even more unusual to win a criminal case in trial. Because typically people are accused of crimes they actually committed. But there were problems with the state’s case. I had spoken for over six months with the prosecutor about dismissing the charges or reducing them. To no avail. So we showed up, ready to go, and the judge granted my motion for directed verdict, and kind of chewed out the prosecutor for tampering with some exhibits. I’m horny now.

Went to the store a few blocks from us. It's near our local gas station that was burned last summer in the rioting and looting. They've been working last few months building a new and bigger station. I've been worried about it since the latest unrest.
Tonight when I drove by there were several National Guard troops on site with a couple police cars across the street. Nice to see the city is being protected before the fact.

Dan still has symptoms, but he feels and looks so much better than he was on Tuesday or was it Wednesday. I'm lost.
But I did get a solid 8 hours sleep last night. And I made the best quacamole ever this morning.
Went for a 6 mile walk with my friend Barb (no, not missB). Barb has a new man in her life that I heard all about. She hasn't had sex in a few years until a week ago and she is loving life right now.

Glad Dan and you are recovering and feeling better. Still too cold to do work on the lawn, so rest up.

Haven't gotten tested yet. He still has slight symptoms, so no reason to. Maybe Tuesday.
My new thing, push ups. So far today I've done 400 push ups. Not all at once. 20 here, 20 there, and so on through out the day. The first 10 are done properly, the next 10 on my knees. Hoping to get them all properly. Goal is 100 without a break. Hopefully in 30 days. My chest will be killing me tomorrow. Dan said to chill and not go full throttle out of the gate. But that's how I roll.

I'm thinking about getting tested for the antibodies. Hearing that you both tested negative but still had symptoms, or at least Dan is still having symptoms, perhaps I did have it last month. I am a little worried because ever since then, I'll have a little flutter in my pulse from time to time. It is a little unnerving.
As for 400 a day? Good on you. I dont think I did 400 the entire time I was in the Army. I hate pushups. Never been good at them and for a while I didnt even know how to do them correctly. My hips would move and then my arms. Like I was trying to do the work backwards or somthing. I do planks and chair dips and even then I don't do more than a couple dozen.
And any guy here who calls the ones done on the knees "girl pushups" can kiss my ass. I'm sure there's a pic around here of it somewhere :facepalm:

I'm sitting in my car in the parking lot waiting to see my dad come out. He didn't want me in with him, and even if I used that stubbornness that I got from my dad, and tried to stay, I dont think they would have done anything with me in there.
What about this made my day? Before the door closed I yelled into the room, "Love you Dad. Don't let that evil cunt have anything!"

I hope everything goes well for him 😃
I was a hit worried that my little childish outburst may have cost him something, but he said it didnt matter at all. He also said that she was much more quiet than usual during the whole thing. So I really hope that what I said stung.
All that being said, he will have to pay her somthing. She had much more paperwork on medical bills and such, which is quite surprising seeing as it has been nearly 20 years since I lived with her.
Without giving too much detail. He had offered her a certain amount to just drop it and leave us alone. But she thought she would get more so she pressed on. She will be getting roughly 5% of what he had orginally planned to give her.
The last time I saw my dad smile that big, I had just come home from overseas. All my stress is gone any I cant stop smiling myself. So happy.

Businesses are starting to take down the plywood covering their windows. National Guard troops will be going back to their civilian life...back with families and returning to jobs. I can't begin to express my gratitude to our citizen soldiers who stand ready to help in time of disasters, civil strife or called to active duty. I hated hearing the criticism some people made of their presence. It did make the city seem like a military camp, but in my opinion it was better to have them and not need 'em, than to need 'em and not have them...like last year while the city burned.
Another bright spot. Looks like work on our new gas station/convenience store is winding down. I drove past today and saw shelves being stocked! Been a year since we lost it. (https://i.imgur.com/sKVF18J.jpg)
They moved the location on the small lot and reconfigured the site so a larger store is now going to be available to us...soon!!! :D :emot_updwn:

My local gas station/convenience store is back!!! Out running a couple errands yesterday afternoon and drove past the Holiday Station Store that's been under construction since January. There were cars there at the gas pumps and other vehicles parked in front of the new store. It's back open after being destroyed in last years riots and looting. It wasn't enough to just break in at steal stuff. Everything had to be set on fire too.
They said it open Friday. Apparently after wife and I drove past after our workouts at the gym.
Still so many empty gaps where other businesses used to be. The large corporate owned places are getting rebuilt. It's the small independent places...many owned by minorities that haven't found the funding to rebuild. So much lost.

Up Close With Nature
Yep...yesterday I made it out again to get up close with nature. By up close, I mean with my 500 mm lens on my camera. The wildlife area was busier than I expected. A lot of the birds are busy nesting now. Still a lot out on the various flowages I drove by. Here's a few samples.
My favorite...the Trumpeter Swans. (https://i.imgur.com/Wmmh6IM.jpg) There's so many swans now. A fantastic success story when you consider they had been hunted to extinction levels and there were none in the lower 48 states by 1960s. A flock was discovered in a remote area of Alaska. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan sent people there to bring back fertilized eggs. These were hatched, the cygnets raised without human contact and the birds were released into wetlands. Crex Meadows was one of the locations Wisconsin used. The restoration was so successful the Trumpeter Swans have been taken of the endangered list and are spreading to other parts of the U.S.
(https://i.imgur.com/S1aDPSH.jpg) Above, a pair of Ring-necked Ducks. Yes, neck, not bill. You have to look close, but there is a cinnamon colored ring around the male's neck. It was cloudy, so it doesn't show up in the pic very well.
(https://i.imgur.com/5EeNhtV.jpg) Didn't see more the a few Sandhill Cranes. Hope that means most are nesting and will soon have some colts (Sandhill chicks) running around the refuge. I saw one once. They keep the young deep in the refuge until they start to fly. Even a friend who lives in the area and goes out everyday has seldom seen the colts when they're small.
(https://i.imgur.com/yf7vanf.jpg) Saw my first pair of Loons. Fantastic diving bird...can stay underwater for quite a while. Hardest bird to photograph. If it's a bright day, the white spots get "blown out" over exposed. If cloudy, like in the above pic, you don't see the bright red eye and the teal band on the neck. Played around in Photoshop so you can see that...if you use your imagination. :D
(https://i.imgur.com/ghjgk09.jpg) A number of American Coots. No, they're not a duck. They have fat toes and are heavy bodied. They actually have to run on the surface of the water to get enough speed to take off. I have a few pictures where you can see the splashes behind them as they're running.

Had a sudden invite to a Los Banditos where I had a few margaritas and a Sonora salad with portabella caps. Had a blast even though it was quick.
Now I'm back home and my clothes feel like they're so close to falling off

We sat on the deck watching geese on the river and chatting. At one point, one of Watcher's clan swooped past, just a few feet above the river. Beautiful bird! Capped a great day!

Went to a concert yesterday. First one since the pandemic, and my god how I've missed live music. Not only was itive, but it was one of my favorite bands playing as well. It was outside so we were told to dress warm and bring blankets. They sold seats in "pods" of four and six, so even though there was five of us we had to buy a sixth seat. Didnt care we wre going to a concert.
The warm up band was a local group from Appleton called Doozey. They were a more alternative group. Had a sound relatively close to bands like Simple Plan, or Blink 182. They were fun and energetic but we missed their first two songs because we got there a little late.
The second opening act was a group called Goodbye June which I thought was ironic because I want to say Goodbye May, Hello June. Anyways, this band had a more classic rock vibe and I could easily associate them with the likes of AC/DC. the music they played demanded that you to at the very least tap your feet. I couldn't sit still and I was up moving and dancing in our little taped off section.
When the band Badflower came out I nearly lost my mind. This alternative rock group is simply amazing. Their album Ok,I'm Sick hit me on a level that no other band has. Their songs like Jester and Ghost struck me to my core. Hearing them play those live had me nearly dizzy with emotions. Not sue if anybody has ever felt like that, or you become so engrossed in the music, you almost get like tunnel vision, where the only thing I can see clearly is the stage. I don't know maybe I'm weird, music just has that magical affect on me.
It was a fantastic experience that I needed to pull me from a recent funk of depression I've been in lately, and eith today being mother's day and all that happened... I'm in a really good place right now😎👍

I spent last night over at my dad's house. He was a bit stressed out since I was so down lately, that I want to spend some of this good mood with him. Was a little chilly, but we sat outside for a bit, and he ended up grilling us some brats and mixed veggies. We sat by the firepit, and he taught me how to play cribbage. I had always thought it was too difficult, but after a few games, I got the gist of it, I was doing pretty good, I almost even won a game.
Decided to crash at his house, so we had a few drinks mostly rum, and then off to bed. Woke up, we went out for breakfast, and I got home little before 10:00

I have redistance myself from her, and from what is going on with that. I've not seen, or heard anything about her, and I've not spoken to my dad on the subject for some time. He has been in a much better mood as well, so I'm assuming it is all taken care of, and done with. It is impossible for me to care any less as to what she's doing now.

Today is wifey’s birthday, so we went to a favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I had an incredible pho dak biet. Wifey had the fish in broth, served in a clay pot. We just had a very nice relaxing afternoon. Pleasant conversation. Shopping. First time in a very long time that we have been free of Covid fears, and had a enjoyable time out.

Happy to hear that. I don't think I've ever had any vietnamese food, and I've always wanted to try a pho. Heard there is like over 100 different spices in that one dish.
Woo for getting out and relaxing

We got back early this afternoon from running errands. The two dogs next door as usual, gave us a hearty, "Welcome home neighbors."
Went to the fence to give some pets and dang, the young pup on the other side of neighbors was in their yard too. All three having doggy fun time.
Turns out the young one dug under the fence to get in with the other two dogs. Pups are the best people :D

Did it come with fermented fish sauce that is quite pungent and hot? Usually mixed with rice.

I turned my Peruvian onto Vietnamese food not long ago. For myself, been eating it for about the last 40 years. I haven’t been to a strictly pho place in a while, but I am a fan, and I did have a pho like version of beef soup earlier this year at the place we go. I’ll order anything on the menu, love it all, but I do steer towards anything spicy. I make summer rolls at home sometimes, got the rice paper in the pantry right now.
When I used to frequent some of the Vietnamese restaurants near DC, the food was only part of the treat. The gorgeous Vietnamese girls bringing your food was part of the experience. The place we go now, the wait staff is Americans.
Really, my love affair with Asian food began as a young teen eating highly Americanized Chinese food in the only Asian restaurant probably within a 100 miles at the time. I still recall we got fried wontons, sweet and sour pork, beef and broccoli , moo goo gai pan (things that are hardly Chinese actually). I loved that the vegetables weren’t over cooked, never had vegetables like that before. As an older teen I had a half Korean friend introduce me to Korean food. By this time I could handle spicy. For the next 10 or more years I rarely ate anything out that wasn’t Asian. . . . Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, even knew a Burmese place years ago. That half Korean friend and I would hit random Asian places making sure the word ‘cocktails’ was in the window ordering those tiki drinks like zombies, navy grogs, scorpions and the like and get thoroughly plowed while gorging on the food.

Last couple days, 3 baby foxes playing in my backyard. About 12-15 years ago there were 2 denned under my shed, nice to see a momma fox had her kits there again. I haven’t been up there much, so didn’t see them until they were visible from the house, so they are already pretty big.

I can say that I've eaten Chinese and korean. That's about it. Ate plenty of Korean food. But I was always wary when we would go anywhere and get anything made with red meat. they eat dogs there and it terrified me that if I wasnt careful, I'd eat dog meat. So I would stick to yaki, which is made with pork, and seafood.
I stopped eating seafood when I went to a high end restuarant with some soldiers and katusa, and they brought out a large octopus that was still moving around. The koreans just started hacking into this thing and gobbling up tentacles. I didn't eat anything other than one piece of yaki mandu and some bread.

A little embarrassing but the only card game I know to play is solitaire
Strip Solitaire is not much fun.
Then stop playing solitaire alone.
But you're guaranteed a win. Even if you lose the game, you know for a fact you're still going to win :aol_diddle:
Octopus is my favorite regardless if it’s Korean, Japanese, Greek, Peruvian, Mexican, Spanish or whatever. I’ve had it all.
It would be illegal to serve dog n the U.S., and increasingly unlikely in Korea too.

A rare morning with temps in the upper 40s. I was really tired of all those mornings in the 30s.
We celebrated by having breakfast on the back porch...a tradition we started Last summer. Yeah, it was a bit chilly, but we made the most of it.
Cats were happy too. Not having to wait fore to finish the paper before taking them outside. We proped the back door open and they wandered the back yard as we enjoyed breakfast.

I too had a great morning. Went on a long run. Didnt do an MJ marathon, but I did about 5 miles. Indidnone lap on my.long route which is just over three miles, but I cut my second lap short and did about two miles.
On top of that, there appears to be a new couple who moved in around the corner, and they have a set of dogs. Two chocolate labs, a senior that has a lot of grey on his beautiful face, and a pup who couldnt be more than 2 years old. Kind of the reason I did more than just one lap, I wanted to see the cute pups again, and the younger lab wanted to run up to me while the senior just laid in the front yard. There was no fence, but they had one of those leashes you stick into the ground. So he stopped about half way to me, and just barked.
Maybe I'll introduce myself some other time, or maybe I'll run into them at work some day.

And MJ hasn't done a marathon, let alone a 7 mile run, in what seems like forever! Been walking with the oldest. We Walk & Talk. At least it's moving and happy to have her up moving. I'll get some miles in shortly, just have to quit putting it off. Dan on the other hand ran 17 today. Bleachers for all of us tomorrow.

Went out with my friends, and my cousin shelby last night for a few cocktails and some food. The place we went to was having their friday fish fry, but I got a chicken club sandwich instead ever since I started hearing about this seaspiracy. I dont know what us true and what isn't, but I'm a little more hesitant when I think about ordering sea food. No live band this time, which would have been preferable, but we spent about $50 just on the touch-tunes and taking over the place with our choice if music.
I had a good amount of margaritas and had a blast until I took my fall, then it was just sitting at the bar sipping my drinks. I did get a few free ones which always makes the night just a bit more fun.

This is sort of a “what made my day and ruined my day“ event. I got out bed this morning, and pulled off my socks. My big toe was black. I don’t mean a little black. I mean coal black. So you know I’m a diabetic, and we all have this inordinate fear of gangrene and infections in the extremities. It looked necrotic. I sent a photo to a doctor friend of mine, and he said “get thee to an emergency room immediately. You might have severe septicemia, gangrene, or even require an amputation, depending on the bloodwork.”
So I set off for the hospital, fully expecting to come home less of a man. They all worked on me, and did the x-rays, the bloodwork, etc., and then came the diagnosis. I have a fractured metatarsal. And not a serious one. It’s not even displaced. I don’t need a cast, or a splint. Yes my toe is black, but it will return to normal color in time.
I’m not one to break bones. This is probably the first accidental fracture I’ve had since I was a child. I’m truly relieved.

Also diabetic here. It's always a worry...parts falling off. Keeps me doing my daily blood tests and taking all meds.
When in my teens met friends of grandparents. The guy would wake and find a toe had fallen off in the night. He ended up losing both legs above the knee.

I had a hearing scheduled today, in another court about 80 miles away from me. It’s one of those little 15 minute deals, but I was going to have to spend three hours in the car. I’m really not excited about getting back to face to face court proceedings.
I called the court this morning, and they were very nice, she said that the judge granted my motion to withdraw from the case, and I did not need to drive to the courthouse. So I just freed up my morning. Wish I hadn’t put on this coat and tie first.

I didn’t know about the Mammoth site until my trip last year.
When I went in 2016 I saw the T-rex Stan in Hill City (dinosaur now sold) and hiked to the top of Harney Peak (now renamed Black Elk Peak). So, things there change fast. On the top of Black Elk Peak (an overnight backpacking trip in the Black Elk Wilderness) I met a guy at the top while drinking a beer. I told him I was hiking to the highest point in each state and drinking a beer at the top. He asked how many states had I done. I nonchalantly replied, “Including this one, one.” I got a laugh at least.
I love the Black Hills. There’s a place in central Montana called the Little Rocky Mountains that is similar and worth a visit, just north of a nice section of the Upper Missouri River Breaks NM. I camped in the NM in that section.

Apart from rain first half of my drive yesterday, I had a good trip. Been awhile since I've done a long solo drive.
Met up with a friend who works here every summer and headed to the park. It was in the 80s with bright sun. That may be why we didn't see many Bighorns. There were a couple with lambs and got a quick photo before the Mama's hustled them out of sight.
Went back after dinner and saw a small herd of ewes.

Such deja vu for me being there just 8 months ago. Thank you for sharing.
The burros weren’t the only surprise last year, I stopped at the border of Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park to take some pics, and turned around to find a couple pronghorns close by. I wasn’t sure they were even local to the area. Turns out they were re-introduced at some point. Days later driving through SE Montana I saw hundreds of pronghorns, they were actual road hazards.

Got an REI anniversary sale flyer in the mail, and rather than order online, went there yesterday. All I got were two pair of these Janji running shorts. I’m not really planning to run in them, but they looked and are really comfortable for just sitting around the house in the evening. They were 30% off, but still expensive at $66 regular, so I guess I paid around $90 for the two pair. But I love them.

On narrow back road with twists and turns...up and down hills and fog. Before me appears a ramshackle, weather beaten building with a crude sign saying General Store. And there was a dim open sign.
Stopped hoping for a coffee and maybe a snack. Was greeted by a wonderful couple. They'd recently bought the place and it was their first day open. Lots of racks of outdoor clothing, and horse riding thingies...no idea what but looked horsey
Turned out they run a horse camping ground. People come with their horses, camp and ride the trails in the Black Hills. Neat!
And they had some food. Couple sandwiches, I got a Sloppy Joe and coffee. Lunch floor show included two cute little dogs who somehow got some of my sandwich :roll:
Guy was a great talker too. Was a relaxing break after hours of driving tough mountain roads and peering through dense fog.

I got called to jury duty this morning. An amazing number of people showed up. I was looking around, thinking that we only had one court holding a jury trial this week, and would likely need no more than 160 people. Sure enough, after winding my way through a long line, they announced they had more people than they needed and sent everybody home.

Finally nice weather. Having great day doing scenery.
Then there's this. Yeah...my mind went there too. https://imgur.com/gallery/UtPSPql
Lots of phallic rocks in the Black Hills LOL.
Most of my photos from last year are on a camera, but here’s a few from SD I took with my phone:

Nice. Loved the ram. You got real close to the Pronghorns to get that shot with a phone.
I ended up using my phone slot as well as my camera. Made it easy to send pictures back home.
In Custer State Park, all the critters were close enough fory 300 mm zoom lens. Only took out the 500 mm once for some Pronghorns a ways off the road.

Made it back home yesterday after five days away, chasing wildlife and taking in the spectacular scenery of South Dakota's Badlands and Black Hills.
Trip out took nine hours, coming back, nearly 11 hours. Had to make a lot more stops to walk around a bit. Gonna take a couple days working out the kinks of spending five days, mostly in the car and driving nearly 1800 miles.
Have over 800 photos to document my fun. Now the fun part begins, sorting through them. I usually make a photo book on Shutterfly. We have quite a stack of them now. One more for the pile. :D
Cats greeted me gladly and instantly started asking for treats. Guess there will be a lot of catching up to do. Wife was bored while I was away and cleaned the house like crazy. Trash bin is full, where we normally have only a bag or two. Maybe I need to go away more often.
Will post a few photos soon.

Happy to hear you had such a great time. I'm the same way when I travel. I'm always uncomfortable on the way back home. Maybe it's the excitement of going someplace I like, but I'm fine in the car. But on the way home I need to get out and move my legs. Even just going to door county. My dad and I have a specific stop we hit when we come back because he knows how I am.
Hopefully you take your wife out to show how much you missed her and appreciate everything she's done.

Yep, I accounted for the hour I lost. Besides the drive out, I spent four days in the car touring the park. Seeing mostly Bison, I wasn't about to get out of the car. All shots taken out the window.
I'd pretty much had my fill of sitting in the vehicle all those hours.
Well worth it though. Only viewed a fraction of my photos so far, I've seen enough to say, "Mission accomplished."

I have a good excuse for not keeping up in the newsgroups as I have been keeping up with writing more smut for y'all.
Yesterday evening I was hired for a lucrative year-long consulting gig. So that's a good day.
A couple of weeks ago, I closed a financial deal for the company I founded in 2011. It basically gave all the original investors, including me, a substantial dividend. My share is enough to pay my expenses for the next several years.
So when it rains, it pours. What's next, am I going to sprout wings?

Congratulations. I have a mediation date coming up, that should generate enough money to cover the bills for the rest of the year. I’m pretty excited about it.

Thanks, Toe. It's almost too much work, as it'll be hard for me to put in the time it will require, but it's only a year. Soon, I'm hoping to pass the patent bar and become a patent agent. I can easily build that into a business where I'm working about half time in the longer term. That will leave more time for writing...

Yes, about a decade on the original idea and another decade on the startup. All good fun, though. There's nothing better than getting paid to work on your own invention.
Best thing about the financial deal is that we get to have our cake and eat it too. Our position in the restructured company remains the same.

Friends came and picked me up last night and we headed put to Door County. We got to fish creek and stopped at Not Licked Yet frozen custard where I got a strawberry banana split and we sat eating catching up and feeding ducks. We used to do this all the time, and the with covid we only hung out once at the bar when they local band played. It felt good to be out doing something that we used to do all the time again.
After the the frozen custard shop we headed over to the Skyway drive-in to watch the double feature they had there. It's always 2 movies, and it always seems thatbits the second movie that I'm more interested in, which is completely fine because it just gives us more time to chat and catch up on things.
After the 2nd movie ended it was about 1:00 in the morning and we didnt feel like driving all those hours, so what happens is we always find an open hotel that's as close to the theater as we can and we split the cost between us. I always let them.have the bed and I take the couch because I'm never the one driving out or back, so their sleep is more important.
Anyways, got up earlier than I thought we would, they split the drive between them and I just got home and out I'd the shower. Had an absolute blast.

That's what my dad is doing today. He said he was getting up at 5:00 a.m. to start cooking dinner. He will spend the entire day on his deck tending to his grill. He moves everything outside. Has a small butcher clock on wheels that he hauls everything he needs to keep cooking, and plugs in a mini fridge. He will either listen to the radio, or bring out a tv, which he always complains about the cords. I think that is way too much work seeing as the kitchen is like 10 feet away. But that's his tradition and he loves it. My family usually starts showing up there around noon and when he takes the roast out,it just falls apart at the touch. No knives or forks needed. Drenches it in his BBQ sauce and it's ready to eat.

It’s been a few years since I’ve done a brisket, but a pork butt or pork picnic (prefer the picnic) I smoke about 6 hours in the evening @ ~225F usually while drinking bourbon, then foil wrap and place in the oven at 200F over night or about 12 more hours. The internal temperature matches the oven temperature at that point. My new family doesn’t eat much pork unfortunately, so maybe I need to do a brisket.

Every 4th of July, we attended a pig roast out on the farm of a distant relative. The men dug a pit and were up all night slow cooking the pig. The meat just melted in your mouth. The men were drunk. Everyone brought a side and we ate under huge trees. Those were fun times.
Always slow cook meat. Sear it to retain the juices, then lower the heat. Mmmmm

Met with former neighbors for informal picnic get together.
They'd lived next door, ending up having three girls. Got to watch them grow for several years. In the summer they'd come over and wife would play with them.
Out grew the house and bought a bigger one out in one of the burbs. They'd still stop by and visit occasionally. Then this Christmas got their card and they were now in Colorado.
Got an evite for tonights gathering. They left so quick and with Covid didn't get to say goodbye. So this was their good bye party.
Girls have gotten so big. Had fun and got to say farewell.

Just an absolutely beautiful morning and I stopped by a convenience shop for some coffee, and I ran into Kenneth. if you remember, he was the nice guy from that warehouse job I took last year during the pandemic. He let me use his radio, and was supportive when Brian was being a complete asshole.
Anyways, he told me Brian (pallet of dog food guy) got fired, along with 3 if his bragging buddies, and so did the GM because she was letting people get away with way to much crap. After she left, people were talking that maybe her and these guys she was letting get away with stuff were having a relationship. The idea was quickly disregarded because as it turns out, she's gay. Then the talk was she was buddies with all those guys and didnt disagree with what they were doing. I don't care the why, but I feel better knowing that none of them got away with anything. Justice, better late than never.

Thank you, Miss Barbara. Besides sharing something personal about your life, you evoked something in me that I really appreciate. I intend to respond to your ending comment but first I need to share a story of my own liberation from domination.
For over a year I lived with a bully. He is not a bully all the time, but enough that it became unacceptable. Hence, on April 4 I announced that I was leaving and would be out within 30 days. As it happened, I was out by the 27th leaving a few days to fill my spot before the start of the next month. Long story short, I am now living in my own space, rent-free for a few months, able to have sex on the living room floor or go naked if that is what I choose. About 10days after leaving, I received a note from the bully acknowledging that I had, all along been a great housemate, paying rent on time, being quiet, and participating in the cleaning. Seems he had once again chosen a significantly less desirable housemate. My response was simply a smile, perhaps a bit of cheering. Upon reflection, I have concluded that we are simply on different paths. He needs to work out what it is to have power and I am celebrating my liberation.
Oh, the best part is that I am having sex frequently. Among my partners is a woman with whom I had some of the best sex in 30 years.

Heard this was going to happen a couple months ago, but got official confirmation in the mail.
President Biden's massive Covid relief bill included a big chunk of money to the VA. Was informed that any co-payments would be repaid and no more co-payments until September.
Was notified that I'll be receiving over $800 refund by July.
That will help defray my cat's thyroid treatments and blood tests.

The US Census guy came by today. He was a 73-year-old gentleman, who was a career McDonald’s employee and franchisee. I don’t know why, but we kind of hit it off, and we ended up sitting on the porch, chatting and watching the hummingbirds, while doing his “extended” census form for over an hour. I feel like I made a friend. So nice to sit outside and enjoy a conversation.

Made an hour's drive to the countryside today to visit friends. They live on a river, just built a house with large covered porch on three sides of the house.
We sat on the porch, watched the river flow by and birds visiting the feeder. When they bought the property a few years ago it was overgrown by trees and brush. Now a lot has been cleared out and it looks like a park.
So nice catching up and seeing them again.

Was having an awesome lazy day just sitting around outside under some shade because I'm happy with where my tan is. Beautiful weather and a nice breeze. I looked up from my book and saw my elderly neighbors across the street cleaning up some flower pots and such, and since some were obviously make from cement, I went to see if I could help them out. It turned out to be an entire afternoon of planting flowers and some veggies in their elevated garden.
I asked why they were planting them so late, he told me that they are going to start waiting until the sales start, and by then the plants they buy usually are already budding. I looked and sure enough the tomatoes were already starting to grow. They are a very sweet couple and have been married for 59 years. That just boggle my mind.
All around it was just a wonderful day.
Woo ms, catching up with friends. I love those old houses that have the porch that goes all the way around. I keep bugging my dad to build one, he can afford it now. :emot_kiss:

Two bottles of a good Cabernet. I was too stuffed to contemplate sex, but woke up this morning with Mrs. Toe sucking my cock. So I gave her a ride on my bouncy house. Twice. Good to be the king.

All the compliments and nice things everybody is saying will always make my day. Makes me feel so comfortable and sexy, and just a little bit naughty
It takes a certain amount of courage to post those pics here, even if its mostly an anonymous board. So while I think the pictures you've posted look great and you have good reason to feel sexy, for me the 'naughty factor' of you posting them in the first place has been a big part of the fun. :)

Had the best day yesterday with my dad. We just sat talked and watched tv. He had his wings, and I ate a texmex mac and cheese. He has a rule that when I eat there I must eat some sort of comfort food. No salads or light meals, it has to be fattening.

Booked a camping vacation in New England for this fall: 4 nights in Southern Coastal Maine 3 nights in New Hampshire near the presidential range 2 nights in East Central Vermont 2 nights on Lake Champlain near Burlington Vermont. 5 nights in the Adirondacks New York
So what made my day today? I realized today that the short drive between the Vermont campsites passes right by the Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory. You can take a tour.
Jed, can you ask Ben & Jerry why they don't sell Cherry Garcia in the UK anymore. Just can't get my favourite ice-cream anywhere.
Thanks

Been researching eats for this trip. There’s the usual of lobster shacks in Maine, old style fine dining near Mount Washington NH and quaint little places in VT, but I encountered an interesting regional phenomenon in Plattsburgh, NY. They have something called a ‘Michigan dog’, which is a type of chili dog, the chili somewhat Texas style of all beef and no beans. Apparently the ‘Michigan’ is only a Michigan because the first place to open was by a couple from Michigan, which grew so popular that various copycat joints opened and still prevail in Plattsburgh. I’m intrigued, so I’ll have to try a Michigan or 3. Besides, while I’ve spent a lot of time in that area, I’ve never been to Plattsburgh.

Went to meet friends for a late breakfast this morning. Haven't seen 'em for a couple years. Had great time catching up. I said we need to do it again after the next pandemic. :facepalm:
On the way saw two police cars stopped in a left turn lane. I expected to see an accident maybe.
Nope...they were standing by with a cardboard box and near them was a mother duck. Guess she led her ducklings over a storm grate and down they went.
This morning the newspaper screaming headline was, "22.5 Years"... Chauvin's sentence for chocking a man to death with his knee. Then I see two cops saving baby ducks. :D

Spent the last five hours over at my dad's house. We cooked together. Had some home made spicy butternut squash soup with home made potato chips. he adds so much spice, I have to put a dollop of sour cream on mine, but it is fantastic. We also finished watching that show Clarkson's Farm. Not something that I thought I'd enjoy, but it is really entertaining, and I'd have no problem putting it on as background noise.
Then the other shoe dropped and he asked me when he's going to meet the guy I've been spending so much time with. apparently he saw us leaving the cafe a while back, and then again yesterday leaving the gas station. Told him not to get his hope up, were not that serious.
Then he says, "normally I'd say wear protection, but I'd love some more grandkids."
"Don't hold your breath Dad."
Spitting out kids is Jason's wife thing and I thought he was happy with three.

Hold your horses CT, do we have a formal invite from the ladies? Wouldn't want to get banned. ;D
Old rules stated you needed at least 500 posts to get inside. However, working the bar and performing cleanup tasks got you close. Then the pandemic happened and all rules went out the window, and the bomb shelter became the place everybody wanted to be. No matter how this thing pans out, I think the weekends will still be ladies only.
I love this community as well.

Another visit to the Vet for my boy cat. Looks like we finally got his thyroid meds regulated. Started with two pills a day and that brought his levels down too low. Went to one pill per day and that wasn't enough. It's a hard small pill and can't be cut in half. Last month Neville got one pill one day and two the next. Wife made a chart fore to keep track. We got a good report today.
Only bump today was when I brought the cat carrier up, out girl hightailed it to the basement. She was still there when we got home and it was another hour before she rejoined the family.. :D

I had to take a minute to decide whether to post here or ruined my day. With all the travel this weekend, our boarding area or pet hotel, is completely booked and full. The part that is bothering me a bit is that somebody dropped their puppy off that isnt even a year old. So went on a trip and didnt take this little guy with him, so now we've got him till Monday.
I'm posting this here because that means I have a puppy for the next three days 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm gonna snuggle, hug, and socialize the hell out of this little fuzball. I can see getting into trouble because I'm going to bring him with me everywhere I go while I'm at work this weekend.
I LOVE PUPPIES 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I have two foster daughters in Ukraine. The state school is closed for the summer, and the borders are closed, so I have been sending a weekly food allowance via Western Union. Otherwise, they are reduced to collecting scrap metal to buy potatoes.
Well, on Friday, Western Union closed down my account. Said I was making “too many” transfers. We’re talking about $30 transfers. Yeah, so that’s definitely signs of some big money laundering operation. Jesus. So what made my day was finding a new service, Wise, that lets me transfer funds straight to their mom’s bank card with low fees, a couple of dollars. So the girls grocery shopped today, and got a treat. “Papi” is happy.
And fuck you Western Union.

Surprise camping trip.
My friends and I have been chatting about going to door country and spending some time camping. None of us own a camper, and the only tent I have is actually my dad's. One of my friends said we could use her dad's camper which is ginormous. The problem is how to get it there. I'm the only one who has ever driven with a trailer, thanks to my time in the Army, but never anything as big as a camper, and to be honest I would always make turns too wide, and I've only ever backed one up successfully one time, and I cant even take full credit because I had a buddy standing right outside the door telling me which way to turn the wheel. All i remeber is him telling me, " put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. The side your hand turns to is the way the trailer will go."
Anyways, we were about to shut the whole idea down when put of the blue Tuesday evening, I get a text telling me to pack, and my friends brother will drive the camper there, unhook it, and then leave us too it. So I threw a bunch of stuff into a bag, and I was out the door. I rode in the truck with my friend and her brother and we were followed by the other women in a separate car. We got there and he made sure the water take was full, and then backed it into the camping spot with zero problems. Then he hooked up all the electrical and made sure everything was working before hoping into the truck and taking off.
So there we were five women in the "woods". I ay this because even though it is in the woods, it is a state park and there are other campers all around us. First night there we sat around a fire pit chatting and drinking strawberry infused tequila with lemon lime soda. We didnt feel like cooking so we are chips and taco dip and veggie pizzas.
The next morning we were up and ready to go down to the water. Not a lot of beach areas on the park, but we found so space to go and relax and get a little sun and do some swimming. We were having a blast waving at all the kayakers and people in fishing boats. Too answer any questions, were we all in bikinis or two peice suits. I was in red. After a fishing boat came by and then made a u-turn. They through and anchor put and we yelled back and forth to them. We dared them to jump in and swim to us, but none of them took us up on our offer. Two of my friends are married and then other two are in serious relationships, so they wouldn't have done anything, and there was no way I was going to have sex in a camper with my friends right outside. I did however contemplate swimming out to them, and see where a night on a boat with four strangers took me, but the thought was quickly squashed. My friends got bored with them, so we decided to leave, but not before we all flashed them. Not my idea, but was totally on board with it. All five of us stood side by side and pulled our tops up. Me and one other did a few jumps before turning and running away. We wanted to be quick before they could take pics. The road where the car was parked was right there so it was a quick get away. My top had come loose so I ended up running with boobs in hand. We piled in and were gone.
We got back to the camper, and ran inside before all the neighbors could see us running around in bathing suits. We took turns in the little shower and had to be quick before the water ran out. The hot water stopped working so it was very very quick. I suppose this is where you guys imagine us with goosebumps and hard nipples rubbing against each other to keep warm, but this is not that kind of moment at all. Anyways, still not wanting to cook anything for lunch, we decided to pile back into the car and go to sturgeon bay for some food and drinks. By the time we were done eating, it had started to rain. We went back to the camper and broke out an orange infused rum and more lemon lime soda. We were all pretty buzzed by the time dinner rolled around, and we finally decided to try and cook some food. No open fire because it was still raining, but the camper has a cooktop and small stove, so we walked/stumbled down to the camping store, bought some brats and stuff, went back and burnt some food. Didn't care, as we kept up with the rum. We had a radio inside so we listened to some local radio station that played country, we talked some more and I tolded them stories about me and BIG Ben. They kept asking for pics of him, but I dont have any. Usually when I see him nude and erect, my phone is the last thing I think to grab.
It didnt stop raining at all. It kept raining all night and all morning until my friends brother showed up, hooked up the camper and we all headed back. I felt bad for him because the camper does have a bathroom, and we most definitely used it, so he had to take it to a dumping station and clear it out. While he was doing all that, I joked with my friend that I'd show him my boobs as a thank you for what he was doing. She immediately said no to that, as she didnt need to be sitting up front with her brother while he had an erection. Instead I said we should take him out for food and drinks once we got back. He was fine with just getting some fast food from A&W and a six pack of Busch lite.
Anyways, just got back, took a much needed hot shower and now I'm catching up on my KB.

Oh my god no, if I ever found out one of them signed up here, and read any of the stories I wrote, especially "crossing that line", I'd be mortified. I suppose I could have shown them pics with me on him, or even video, but even that would be so ridiculously uncomfortable. Talk and showing are so very very different.

Had a great day yesterday exploring a part of the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the town of St. Michaels and Tilghman Island, a wine tasting and eating some great Maryland seafood. We had such a good time we booked a weekend in the area for 3 weeks from now to do more of the same. On the way home we stopped on Kent Island just before the Bay Bridge for a late dinner, afterwards we heard music and caught the end of a band playing at a dock bar. We’re going back to both that restaurant and the dock bar too as soon as possible.
Lunch: Raw clams Raw oysters Crab balls Calms casino Crab cocktail Fried clams Local beer Does cocktail sauce count as a vegetable?
Dinner: Oysters Rockefeller Seared scallops Rockfish over mashed purple potatoes with asparagus Fume blanc
At one point between lunch and dinner I told an extremely cute full lipped blond bartender, “I’ll take the blonde,” I paused and pointed at the tap and continued, “the Back Creek Blonde Ale.” I’ll see her again in 3 weeks.

Neighbors getting a new garage. I mentioned the fun of watching the old one razed a couple weeks ago.
The contractor built a garage for neighbor on other side of us, three years ago and I got to know him. Super nice guy. So great to having his crew back again.
I let him par his little earth mover in our garage, as it's time consuming loading and unloading it every day. Plus as neighbors don't have much room in their yard, I'm allowing them to keep materials in the back of our lot.
All costs me nothing. Neighbors shovel my snow and now have started mowing my lawn, so I happy do do whYesat little I can to help with the new garage erection. (Yes, I had to say erection :facepalm:)
Today, contractor presented us with a gift card to our favorite restaurant. $100!!! :emot_weird:

Our girl cat has been doing lots of hunting in both neighbors front gardens. As a result her fur got badly matted with all the crap she's been crawling through. Was very hard finding a groomer. Several weren't taking new clients. I did find one a week and a half ago and had an appointment for last night at 9:00 PM. That's how booked up they were.
She ended up having to get the "lion" cut. She's rock'n her new look. (https://i.imgur.com/UP1K5bg.jpg)

Ah, she's a 'humane' hunter, addicted to the thrill of the hunt rather than the thrill of the kill ;D
I can imagine her jumping out of the shadows at mice.. 'Boo! Surprise, motherfucker! I could've killed you, but I didn't! :emot_laughing:

Yesterday, one of my brothers was in town for a conference, and we spent about 5 hours sitting in Washington Square Park chatting.
That might sound like a common experience, but it was a real treat for me.
He lives in Houston, and he's the oldest of my three brothers. He's the first and I'm the last, and there's a 7-year age gap. Right now, our age difference doesn't matter, much but when we were kids, it certainly did. By the time I was 5 or 6, he was already in middle school, and he was in high school (and busy with many things) by the time I was only 7. We went away to college when I was 11, and he moved away when I was 15. So, while he was always a presence in my life, he wasn't often physically present.
He was always interested in me, even when I was little, and he would go out of his way to do things with me, one on one. He'd take me out to lunch, at one point when I was 10 or 11 he took me to a Neil Young concert (and my ears are still ringing), and things like that. But he was only around from time to time when he was in college, and he "left home" when I was 15, and in the ensuing 25 years, I've only seen him from time to time, typically at family gatherings back in Chicago. And even then, we've never had the chance to really talk, one on one.
So yesterday was a wonderful experience. While he has always seemed to see himself as my "protector" or "guardian," he knows I'm now in my 40s and our roles have changed. Still, being able to talk about things as peers and adults was so truly wonderful There was a lot to discuss, and if didn't have to leave at 6:00 to be back to his conference, we likely would have chatted for several more hours.

Attended a fantastic AirExpo today. Featured a slew of WW II airplanes and a few modern jets. Very well organized. There were planes in the most the time, doing crowd pleasing, close fly-bys. I had my camera naturally.
Got home, loaded pics to the computer and discovered I have over a thousand photos to sort through. Will share a few in a day or two.
There was a B-17 taking people up for short rides. At $495 a ticket, I stayed on the ground.

Sunday I wrote how one of the cats brought a chipmunk into the house. It ended up in the basement where there's countless hiding places for the little critter. http://www.kristensboard.com/forums/index.php?topic=28521.4425
Sunday we were out for dinner with friends. Turns out one had access to a live trap. He brought it over this morning along with a few peanuts and some other smell concoction that chippers are supposed to love. Mid at I checked and voila... little fella in the trap. Took out side and set free. Also dumped out left over peanuts in the yard where it hangs out. Small payment for terror kitty put it through. :D

As a single father of two boys, with two different mothers, I know how good that feels. Never speak ill of mom, but give unconditional love, approval, comfort, and support. Both of my boys live with me now. Their mothers accuse me of teaching them to hate. No, I taught them to love, and they finally could not imagine living anywhere else.

I remember how it was when I first talked to my dad after years apart. My mother had told me he wanted nothing to do to me. She would throw away cards and letters and stuff. He wasnt and isnt tech suave so no emails or anything like that. She had me convinced that his entire side of the family hated us. Wasnt until after me and her had a huge falling out that I reached out to him. Through my uncle who was quite unsure of the whole thing gave me his phone number. He wont admit it, but I think he cried when I called him. I had already enlisted to escape my mother and stepfather, otherwise I would have just went and lived with him. We had 4 months to rebuild our relationship before I left for the Army. I called him every chance I could get and before I knew it I loved him more than any person on this planet. Still do🥰💕💕💕
Sorry to hijack your good day love. I'm happy for you. Makes my heart smile Woo.🥰💖

Made s trip up to door county after work yesterday. Me and a friend definitely didnt plan it, she stopped by for s margarita and to chat, but had the sudden idea of driving there to go to the drive-in theater. So we checked to see what was playing. It's always a double feature and if we start for 5he second film, we wouldnt be home until 4 or 5 in the morning. Depending how many times we stop and switch drivers.
Thankfully the second movie was Cruells, which we already seen. The first movie was Jungle Cruise with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. It was a decent movie, entertaining with a good plot, but it was the "Dad Jokes" that had my laughing hard. Dwayne Johnson popping off random puns in the beginning had me hooked for the whole movie.
We ended up back home a little after 2 a.m. I just woke up and grabbed my first cup of the day

Mayor de Blasio announced yesterday that all of the city's new hires will be required to be vaccinated before starting a job.
A few minutes ago, he announced that proof of vaccination will be required for both employees and customers in all city restaurants, gyms, and "places of entertainment."
While I've never been a fan of de Blasio, I salute and support both these efforts.

Interestingly, we had only 207 new members, less than in any other month for 2021, so I guess we have a case of quality over quantity and that the new members are posting more than on average 8)

Nothing sexual about this, but I have an electric lawnmower that has been on the fritz. I never registered it with the manufacturer, and I no longer have my sales receipt. I tend to not think about needing things. Because I’m overly optimistic that everything is going to go well.
So I headed over to the big box hardware store, fully expecting to get fucked over. But the young lady at the service counter was very helpful, even apologetic. She said, “We get one or two of these in here every week. These batteries really are not very good.“
Well those batteries cost $180. They set up a little experiment, tested my charger and my battery, and gave me a full replacement. No charge. I was really impressed. That kind of customer service is relatively rare these days.
So now if it will stop raining, I can mow this jungle.

So now if it will stop raining, I can mow this jungle.
My manly things have always been about being in the wilderness; I do that fairly well. I’m not very mechanical, never have been. I’m the guy that had to get the booklet out every time I started my chainsaw. Well, I should say tried to start my chainsaw. It was always a frustrating fight full of curses. It took me nearly two decades to understand that slight difference you hear on that one pull on the cord means take the choke off and pull again. Prior to recently if I got the fucking thing started, it was pure chance often after hours of trying. My first chainsaw got shoved in the garage where it stayed for well over ten years. Because I had bought another, I gave the first one to a tree guy that took down some large branches this past fall. He put fuel in it, and after a few pulls got it started. . . . after over a decade at least sitting idle in my garage. I had given up on that one.
So what made my day today? I wanted to use my current chainsaw, but knew the chain was a bit loose. I figured out how to tighten it and was happily sawing branches in my jungle today, which I’m pretty sure is far worse than toe’s. The tree guy that did my front for about 5k, asked for 8k to do the back. But, there’s nothing in the back that requires repelling 25 feet up like the front did. I can do it I keep telling my Peruvian. I’ve also been sharpening the chain as needed. I’m also more confident that the next time I need to replace the chain, I can do it without help. The internet helps of course figuring these things out.

Ah the joy of having a friendly contractor working next door. Construction continues on neighbors new garage. I let the contractor store a piece of equipment in our garage plus they're using our back yard to store materials as they are delivered.
That little bit ended up getting us a $100 gift card to a favorite restaurant. Yeah I posted that earlier, but with all the new members joining, ya know.
Today they're moving some excess dirt from the site. I have a few low spots in back I was never motivated to do anything about. So some of the excess dirt has now filled those spots in. That also cuts down on how much they have to haul away.

Her: Amazon here, we have discovered a fraudulent purchase of a gift card on your Amazon account and would like to help you recover the charge. Me: I'm sorry this is a bad line could you repeat that Her: repeats the above Me: Sorry, I don't really understand what has gone on Her (getting a bit irritated): repeats the above Me: Oh, now I understand, that really is very helpful of you. Of course I would like to claim a refund Her: Let me pass you over to my supervisor Him: repeats fictitious details of transaction and even gives a plausible address in London where the fraud was supposed to have taken place. Me: How do I reclaim the money Him: What device are you using Me (without being anywhere near a computer): A PC Him: Can you open google Me (ditto): Yes Him: Now type in show my ip Me: Ok, done that Him: what does it say on the screen? Me: A rather strange message has appeared on the screen Him: What does it say. Me: Are you sure you want me to read it to you? Him: Yes Me: Are you really sure? Him (getting slightly annoyed): Yes, I am sure Me: Are you really, really sure. Him (now very annoyed): Yes, read it to me.

Had our Friday night get together with friends. Started at a fifties type greasy spoon with burgers and a malt.
Big surprise was one friend showed up with a few books on military aircraft. A few weeks ago I went to an air show featuring a bunch of WWII aircraft. My ticket was good for both days, but I was satisfied with the right hours and 1000 photos I took.
Wife remembered seeing one friend's eyes light up when I mentioned I was going. So we called him up and asked if he wanted my ticket for Sunday..he was at our house a half hour later. He had a great time.
So when a friend was downsizing some possessions, he grabbed the books for me. Sweet guy.

Wait, you mean, that in terms of salary, you’re at the top of the ladder in your position(as far as possible), yet your work-difficulty hasn’t stopped increasing / is still increasing, then dude, I think you should still apply for a raise appropriate to your current workload.

Jed I get the impression that we are of a similar age. And my problem is, I have definitely topped out in my career. So I really need to learn how to be more humble, keep my fucking mouth shut, and don’t let the little millennial idiots fuck with my head. I’ve had a difficult time just staying below the radar, and not not pointing out how “wrong“ everyone else is doing things. I think we have to recognize the 21st-century will be characterized by diminished skills, intelligence, training, etc. People just don’t give a shit anymore. There’s no loyalty to the organization. And it keeps everything very fluid. I’ve got about 10 more years in the labor pool, and I really hope this next job will be my last one. I’ve been speaking to my kids about this subject. And hopefully if they see dad complaining too much, or acting like an asshole, they’ll help me nip it in the bud.

I think we have to recognize the 21st-century will be characterized by diminished skills, intelligence, training, etc. People just don’t give a shit anymore. There’s no loyalty to the organization. And it keeps everything very fluid. I’ve got about 10 more years in the labor pool, and I really hope this next job will be my last one. I’ve been speaking to my kids about this subject. And hopefully if they see dad complaining too much, or acting like an asshole, they’ll help me nip it in the bud.
I think we’re both 59.
I was advised by my last boss to switch groups due to topping out at my current job. But I like what I’m doing and getting increasingly better at it. And I’m still learning so much. It’s just a little frustrating knowing I can’t advance despite all that.
My one drawback is I was never good with some of the software. I can learn it, but takes so fucking long and then it changes anyways. For our group, that meticulous grunt work. My last boss understood it wasn’t my strong suit, so had me do all the reports that some hate. I can write, so I never minded that.

Ah, software can be just like mathematics and what not: just when you seem to have grasped the concept, time to advance to the next tier of difficulty.

Went for a short and slow one mile jog this morning, not stumbles or falls. I wasnt going to try until tomorrow, but things have turned around alot quicker than I thought they would. I havent missed two days of work for this in quite a while, usuallynits just one day and then I'm back. Anyways, back at work today, and then I'm off to my dad's house to throw pillows at his big fat head. He sent me some pretty mean (joking) texts saying it was my fault the packers lost their first game. I didn't even know they were playing.
Is it weird that even though we're nearly 40 and 70, that we act like children sometimes?

Also, it’s never weird. Some light-hearted fun is what people need, now more than ever.

I read about Sir and Toe and their jobs, and all I can say is I friggin LOVE my job. Sure I don't make tons of money, I currently work weekends, and there are some really Heart breaking days, but for the most part, this job is perfect.
New song out by dirty heads called vacation 🎶🎶🎶 A-a-ay, I'm on vacation Every single day 'cause I love my occupation 🎶🎶🎶
I could go back to school and become a vet and run my own practice and such, but I'm in love with where I am. I mean come on. I'm at work right now, I'm sitting at my own desk with very little paperwork to do, currently on porn site 🤣🤣, and in a few minutes, I'll make my rounds, and then I'll go outside and play with some dogs, and then head to where the cats stay and give them some love and attention.
Sorry to rub it in guys, but I'm loving this.

I saw Warren Zevon do that song in a small brew pub about 25 years ago. He was a little pissed he was playing in a small brew pub. You could tell he thought the venue was bigger when booked. He played well though, despite his sarcastic comments between songs like ‘Maybe one day Alanis Morissette will have to play a brew pub.’

Ah yes, the twinge of pain of separation, though it’d be present at first, but would slowly but surely wane out against the pride of seeing your son standing on his own two feet, and building his career and life step-by-step.

Glad to hear everything is improving on the family health side of things, Shiela!
Something that made my night last night was talking to a couple of friends online. We used to do all sorts of creative stuff together when we were in our 20's and tried to continue it with a podcast in 2014. Unfortunately, life got busy and we couldn't sustain it. Now we are all in better places emotionally and life-wise so we are working on continuing the podcast we started back then.
How to describe the show? Hmm. I guess you could call it an extremely offensive comedy show. We mostly started it for our own amusement back in the day and we are mostly re-starting it now for the same reasons. We haven't put out a new episode yet, but last night I was laughing so hard that my cheeks hurt and I was crying. That is enough to give you an idea of the fun we were having.
But yeah, if you are easily offended, it probably isn't a show for you. If anyone wants to check out the old episodes and where new stuff will eventually show up, send me a PM. I really enjoyed my night last night though. It was one of the best times I've had in a LONG time.

Fun gathering with several friends. A good friend and her husband hosted it at "the land" as it's refered to.
A few years ago they purchased ten acres on one of the few remaining rivers classified as wild and scenic. It was totally overgrown with ruins of an old house. Lots of brush cleared and trees thinned out so it looks like a park.
A year and a half ago they built a home with a nine foot wrap around covered porch on three sides.
Food was served. Friends roamed the property. Pockets of conversation gathered beside the river and the weather cooperated. Pretty much as perfect as a day can be.

Thought this was an amusing sign of the times. Found this photo on a neighborhood app for sharing messages. (https://i.imgur.com/jRUNwzE.jpg) As fall approaches there's always talk about not raking leaves into the street. (Yes, people do that instead of bagging them) The leaves then end up in the storm sewer and flow out to the Mississippi River. It's like dumping fertilizer into the river as the leaves cause more growth of water vegetation.
Here's a person who lives across the street from the river, a very tony neighborhood. They show concern about leaves getting into the river, yet have no problem dumping chemicals on their lawn which will also be washed into the Mississippi. :facepalm:

The leaves will not be falling here until November. But I must confess, I’m one of the people who pushes them out to the street. Because no one in my neighborhood bags. And I would no sooner clear the lawn, than a whole new set of leaves will blow in from next-door. Eventually, rain will take all of that down to the creek. I have no idea where it goes from there.

WOW! Sudden! Great news. I have a friend that recently sold his business. So excited for him too. For you both. Dan highly recomends it. It did him good. A bit young to do it, but we're enjoying. He's happier too.

We have been "planning" this for a while. Really been waiting for DHS to open the Canada/US border to cars to drive across the border. They haven't yet so we are going with plan B -- ship our vehicle across the border and fly down and meet it. More expensive but it may be the only way. We don't want to sit here through another Alberta winter.

Where in Mexico may I ask? I spent a few years working in Ciudad Victoria, and I have a lot of friends in San Miguel de Allende. I’ve been all over. At least 40 or 50 trips.

I have an affinity for the Pacific Ocean after living in San Diego back in the mid-'80s. We have finally decided on La Paz BCS. We were originally thinking Mazatlan but decided that La Paz was more "Mexican" and less touristy.

Touristy generally means more expensive. Gringo dollars drive up the cost of everything. But touristy usually means greater security. BCS is one of the safest regions in Mexico. I have several friends with places in and around Cabo. Love that whole area. Jealous!

Just found out that Amazon prime is doing an adaptation of The Wheel of Time. This series is the one that introduced me to fantasy fiction, and I extremely enjoyed it. Normally I do not like movie and tv adaptions, but watching the trailer, I actually got chills, and the girls perked up. I think I'm going to give this one a watch.

Was an absolutely fantastic day for me. Had a really easy and fun day at work, and then it was off to my dad's for his little get together with friends, and family. Last might I had made a huge tray of stuffed mushroom, deviled eggs, and a cucumber salad. I felt back because I hadn't gotten there as early as I had hoped, but everybody seemed quite pleased with what I brought.
Had plenty of great conversation and excellent drinks. There was about 3 dozen people there, and from what I could tell, everybody was having a great time. One of my dad's neighbors even tried to hook me up with her son who, by the way, looks around my age, is very handsome and tall, but he's put on a little weight lately but otherwise very active and social. He's quite financially stable, and has a great sense of humor... at least that's what she told me.
The party wrapped up nicely around 6 and everybody was pretty much gone by 6:30. Jen was there and was doing great, and since my dad had helped her out so much, she volunteered to clean everything up. I stayed for a bit and helped out, but Jason and his kids did most of the heavy work and cleaning. We had it all pretty much done by the time I left.
Hope everybody had a great labor day :emot_kiss:

Yesterday we took our moms on the Cass Scenic RR in Cass, WV, a 4.5 hour round trip. I found the pic on Imgur, but it happened to be the same engine that took us up to Bald Knob at 4000 feet, one of 5 steam engines at Cass. I did this as a kid over 50 years ago, so retracing some life steps.
Trains don’t normally climb mountains, but the Shays did a hundred years ago. And, they still do.
It was really cool.
We passed the old ghost town of Spruce WV, abandoned about as long as I’ve been alive, and was dying before that since the 1920s. When it was occupied, Spruce was the highest town in elevation east of the Mississippi. It could only be reached by rail. It was also the original site of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company before it moved to MD and my grandfather worked there.

I’m still debating doing that. I’ll be at Mt Washington in less than a month. You can drive to the top too. And there’s a scenic railroad in Conway NH, might just do that one.
This past weekend and the cog railway in NH are not cheap, $75 per person. That adds up if paying for multiple people.

There's old steam engine trains running in the Black Hills. Great ride through the scenic mountains.
I leaned out the window to get a photo of the engine as the train went around a curve.
Steam engines...so noisy, smokey, and stinky, compared to modern engines. Yet I still love 'em. Brings back the romance of those early days when rails connected the country.

Tomorrow she's taking me to the VA, where they're going to take a look inside my bladder. Yep, they are going up that route. For once I'm glad I'm not very well endowed...shorter trip. :facepalm:

So the idea was to look inside the bladder to see if surgery was needed. Got into the room where I donned gown, robe and even a hair net.
Doctor came in and told me what was going to happen. Later another doctor came in. He said a urine Tess a couple weeks ago showed signs of cancer cells. Key word, signs, doesn't mean cancer for sure. Bottom line, they needed to do surgery, no matter what today's peek inside showed. So today's procedure was unnecessary.
Dang. They could have phones that info to me. Now I have surgery scheduled for October 21st. More waiting.

I went for a run this morning. Been two weeks since I was able to do that. My legs were protesting the whole time, and my lungs were on fire, but it felt amazing. Stretching out after I finished was such a satisfying pain, and I missed it.
Right now I'm fantastic
Hope you continue to stay and enjoy being fantastic. :D

Made a trip to my favorite wildlife refuge in Wisconsin today. Fall migration will be in full swing soon. Quite a few Sandhill Cranes already there, but by end of October the refuge swells with over 15 thousand of these five foot giants of the sky. Hope to post a few pictures tomorrow.
Not to be confused with your cheese run... ;D ;D

Just shy of 44 years (by one day), I finally reached that point in my life where I can say I AM RETIRED. Worked my last shift Sunday night and did the final paperwork (exit interview) yesterday.

I guess I should have clarified. I retired from the Air Force in '95 after 18 years of service. I'm retired, now, from the everyday working life now. My retirement date just happened to coincide with the anniversary of my enrolment. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Normally my Dad has a bunch of people over, but it seems like everybody had tickets to the game, so it was just me and him. It was nice, and somewhat peaceful, my Dad can get quite rambunctious during a game. I had an absolutely fantastic time, and will probably sleep here tonight. Still have to work in the morning, so we'll see.

Like finding money in the dryer, except more. Yay!
What made my day... I haven't been online the last 3 days. Dan and I went camping in the RV. No phone, no internet (I did have my Kindle though). Just our bikes, our running gear, our yahtzee game and cards. And campfires! I love campfires. Yes, I did the s'mores, but I use Reeses Peanut Butter cups instead of chocolate. It rained a bit on us on Saturday, but we made the best of it by staying in bed, under the covers, nekid. :) Then, luckily, it was raining Sunday morning again.

Not a made my day moment, just a comment and I figured I'd post it here.
I love the interactive stories where the readers pick which way the story is going. Not easy for an author to post options and then have to go that way.
We started watching a show called Ordinary Joe. The main character has just graduated college. Commencements just ended. He was torn between three choices for post grad celebration. A) go with his girlfriend to her parents place on the water for the weekend, B) go out to dinner with his mom, aunt and uncle, and C) go hang out with a girl he had just met half an hour before. The show reveals three different results of where his life went, based on what decision he made on who to celebrate that afternoon. Really neat show. Different. Sort of like what a couple of my favorite authors are doing. How fun.

Well, but if they make such episodes then wouldn’t that be exponentially increasing, Do they (the producers) host a poll at the end? I myself am working on a story of the kind, though at first, it’d be pseudo-interactive, that is, the different choices will lead up to the same conclusion, but in different ways, but when I run out of ideas, then it’s open to suggestions.

Well, but if they make such episodes then wouldn’t that be exponentially increasing,
I wasn't sure how it would go after the first episode. Meaning, would it make a new "deciding moment" moment. No, the other sticking with the original three story lines. In one scenario he ends up being a rockstar. The other he ends up following in his fathers footsteps and becomes a cop. The third, he follows a career path based on his college studies.

I went to an author talk of Edward S. Balian, who wrote "Turn The Page (https://www.amazon.com/Bob-Seger-Biography-Turn-Page/dp/0983118191/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Turn+the+Page+Bob+Seger+book&qid=1634176500&sr=8-1)", a Bob Seeger biography. Very educational on the early years of the rock legend, who is one of my favorite singer & song writers.
What ruined my day... when Mr Balian called on me in a room full of 75 people, asking me my favorite Seeger song, then sticking a mic in my face. Dan bailed me out. At the intermission, when we went to buy a book, He asked why I didn't answer. When I answered, he looked to Dan. Dan interpreted, then explained my speech impairment.
Honest mistake, but that moment it happened, ugh. Think I'd get used to it after so many years.

I was supposed to be off of work today, but because one of my coworkers tested positive for covid, she's out and the rest of us split up her duties. But I'm not complaining about that. Spent most of the day on the clinic side of things, which is just as special as the boarding side. Maybe not as much fun, but still just love it... for the most part. Had a little of German Shorthair pups come in, and the owner wanted their tails docked. I understand why some do it, but I am not a fan. Dog communicate with their tails, it would be like cutting the fingers off so somebody who communicates with sign language.
Anyways, I had a fantastic day with a lot of pets, and then to top it off, I was asked out to dinner tomorrow. That honestly almost never happens to me. This is probably the third or fourth time in the 10 years I've worked there. It was actually quite surprising and completely caught me off guard. He came in with the cutest little yellow lab, but she had a huge tear in her ear and we had to stitch it up, but she was such a trooper and so lovable.
I love my job

Our girl is eating some. Got her some canned cat pate...so fancy. Both cats have always turned up their nose at wet cat food. Always want their dry kibble.
Yeah, they’re the best, full of compassion and care for everyone. Glad to know about your cat, very happy news indeed Haha, that’s surprisingly true to hear, lol, about cats being picky.

I said no to dinner. Sorry forgot to mention that.
Glad she's eating something though. :emot_kiss:
If allowed to speak my mind, would like to say, bad luck for him, lol.
Ah, and I was about to joke that being able to look forward to the next Who Got Laid entry was about to make my day. :emot_laughing:
Sorry :facepalm:
It's still nice that he asked our good girl, though :emot_kiss:
Yeah CT, seems like it just wasn’t his day lol. But yeah, nice to hear indeed.

We went to Zihuatanejo every year for over 20 years. It's on the Pacific coast. Lovely place and great people. I miss it.

La Paz, Baja California Sur. Figuring to be there for 6 months to see how we like it. Furthest into Mexico I have ever been is Rosarito, just south of Tijuana back in the mid '80s. Went there for lunch. Lobster and steak meals for two for something like 2200 pesos. Told the waiter I did not know what that meant. He told me to give him $20.00 and he would bring back the change.
I really want to move to San Diego but I cannot afford $2100/month (average in the area) for rent.

FYI, it is Vet. Tech. Appreciation week. ;D
My coworker who got the covid, says she's doing better. Told me she spent the last three days in bed and only really got up for water and bathroom. The ironic thing is, she had just gotten her first vaccine shot, and a week later, she got sick.
And on a separate note, I'll be leaving KB

yeah, this is terrible indeed! Ms is right, it’s not at all about them, if I had a choice to either have you leave, or have all my devices edit out every single photo (and replace them with a blank space) on this website , then it’d be no choice at all; I’d pick cropping out the pics, if it’d make you stay.

Sold my house today, for not a loss, even though I only bought it a only year and a half ago. Thought I could save my marriage, yada, yada. I guess women have babies and men buy houses. This puts me more on track to retire, which could happen any day now. It's whenever I can't work anymore. It also puts me on track to break up with my third wife, also a melancholy thing but has to happen. I will miss her cooking, but the prospect of having sex again is extremely compelling. :-)

Busy day today. Helped out on two different surgeries. They were both to remove cancer, but we had zero issues with either of them.
When we are done, we have small kennels that we place them. We bring back the owners (parents) to see them, but the dogs are still under sedation. Today we had this chocolate lab who is just the sweetest thing. I brought the people back, and the husband was asking questions and I was answering. We were both talking, but when the woman spoke, this dogs eyes fluttered a little and he picked up his head for a second before laying it back down. I have never seen that before in my life. All that talking and nothing, until she said something. I was quite shocked and then checked him out to see if everything was ok, and he was fine. To me that is something truly special.
Couple more ours, and I am out of here for a bit. Hope you all have a great rest of your week. :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss: :emot_kiss:

I don't know about all animals, but I've been around more dogs with cancer than people. In fact the cowork2e who is out sick right now. Three years ago her dog passed with cancer. And my cousin's neighbor's pitbull was recently diagnosed with it. I'll say that it is way to common in dogs and people.
Perhaps there is something I could do to hold you guys over until I get back, then again, I'll be back in two days, you'll all be fine. :emot_kiss:

New phone on the way. Broke down and ordered the new Google Pixel 6 that was announced the 19th. It ships the 28th and should arrive here two days later..
Google has done some vast changes to the camera system. I've been very happy with my old (4 years) Pixel 3 pictures. Looking forward to what the new camera can do.
Have to check this out...I've been told I can even make phone calls with this thing. :emot_laughing:

Hello my loves :emot_kiss:
Hope I didn't miss too much. Other than one minor hiccup I dont think my little vacation could have gone any better.
First night there Amanda and Shannon came out to the hotel, and we went down and spent some time in the sauna just talking it up. I told them all about me and Ben and how things went there. Of course they called me a dumb whore (not the only time they'd do that during my visit) for not sticking with him, but they understand why.
Later on we went to a mansion that is also a B&B that hosts plays and small private party shows. We went there and in the basement they have a small stage where they did a murder mystery play for Halloween. It was actually really good, quite funny, and it turned out the murder was a bear.
Wednesday was a day of day. Went out for breakfast at a nice little coffee shop outside of the city that had fantastic pastries and I are so many, I'm going to be running for a month to burn them off. Then we hit the shopping centers and some other stores. I went back to my hotel to shower and change and then we went out to lunch. Shannon spent a lot of the time discussing weddings plans and possible honeymoon locations. After lunch, we took in an early movie. Adam's Family 2. It was fun, but not as good as the first one.
Then that night we went out and hit a local hotspot. They had live bands playing and most of them were really good. One played some of my favorite songs from badflower and I was very pleased they didnt butcher them.
Then, Shannon's fiance showed up with a bunch of his buddies. I was a little upset, at first because I wanted it to be just us, until I saw James. He was so damn good looking, like a young Gerard Butler. Saw him and I couldnt find my breath for a second. And then it turns out, he's the one I'll be walking down the isle with during the ceremony. Well hot damn lucky me... seriously he is so hot. I talked quite a bit with him, and he's also a nice guy, with a rather goofy sense of humor, and he wasn't too bad out on the dance floor. It was just all around fantastic night.
The morning however wasn't the best I've had. They had both taken Wednesday off, but thursday morning only Amanda had called in and used a personal day. We went out for more coffee, where I was again called a dumb whore. At least the pastries were still delicious. After that, I went back to the hotel packed up, checked out and then went and met up with shannon and Amanda for lunch break. It went better han breakfast because there was a.lot more laughter than head shaking. After that I got in the car and came back home after stopping by my dad's for a few hours. Now I'm home and back to reality.

So surgery yesterday with some lingering pain. ( Yeah, they sent me home with a few Oxycodone. Just what a recovering drug addict needs) No, I'm not taking the opiate and don't feel I need to.
What made my day is the wonderful treatment I received while at the VA Medical Center. The nurses and doctors all were friendly, caring and kept me well informed every step of the whole process.
I've said it before and I continue to believe that the well run operation at the Minneapolis VA almost makes it a pleasure to sick.

When I first went to sign up at the VA in 1970 I was told that people would not even bring their dog to the VA for treatment.. When I started going back to the VA in the past ten years or so, I have never met an unfriendly nurse or doctor nor had a bad experience at the VA. Hope my appointment on the 27th with the neurologist maintains my belief in the VA.

Not that I need it, but I wish Canada had a dedicated medical service for veterans. The hoops some of our veterans have to jump through to get appropriate support from the Department of Veterans' Affairs makes one wonder why we would volunteer to serve our country. Thankfully, I came out of my 18 years of service with my head in a pretty good space and the only physical issue is some hearing loss in my left ear.

Went to pick up a new pair of glasses, and they worked.
Background: Last month, went to America's Best for the optometrist/eyeglass deal. The optometrist ran the check up and wrote the prescription. The girl behind the eyeglass counter tried to hustle me for 450.00 :sign_excuseme: No deal, worst case scenario, the MOST a pair of eyeglasses actually cost is 50.00 :sign_endofdiscussion: Two years ago I went to Lens Crafters and told the guy there, "Hey, I will pay no more than 200.00 and if you can't do that, I will go somewhere else." He made the deal. So, when the girl at America's best tried to hustle me, I went to Lens Crafters. Same deal, told the guy "Hey, 200, or I walk." He made the deal. Problem though, the optometrist at America's best has really poor handwriting and we had to guess at some of the numbers. So, today, when I tried on the glasses, we got the numbers right. :sign_outstanding:

Good to hear.
I just had an eye exam last Wednesday and same thing. I went to a reputable place for the exam, then walk out the door with the prescription. Tried some on at Sam's and Walmart, but that's still not cheap enough. I just use them to see what I like on my chubby face. And last night I ordered last night from www.zennioptical.com which is 8 times cheaper than the first place I was at, and half the cost of Sams or Walmart. I buy 4 pair, so I feel I've got to get the cost way down.

I had tickets to a concert in green bay last night, and I thought it was next week for some reason. I was going with four of my friends, and I had completely screwed up the plan and told them that I'd just meet them there. I went home, got changes and headed out.
I was late getting there and the first opener was already playing. This was an hard rock n roll concert and the music was heavy, fast, and very loud. This was my first time in the Resch Center since they rebuilt it. Seemed so much smaller.
I got there found my friend and statted enjoying the live music. I had never heard if the opening act. They were named DED. I was actually quite impressed and I enjoyed their songs. Little more screaming than I usually like, but otherwise they were really quite good.
The second opening act however I did know and I've heard some of their songs before. They were Black veil Brides. No it was not an all woman band, and they do have some really good songs, for those who like really heavy metal rock. I did not enjoy their performance though. Its like they just wanted to be really loud. It was just too loud. I couldnt even hear the lyrics. I could tell he was singing, but I couldn't hear anything. I give their performance a big ol boo, except for one moment. Lead guitarist came out with a violin, and when he played, it was so hauntingly beautiful. It's one of those things that could make you smile with tears in your eyes. It was just so beautiful.
Headliner never disappoints. I've seen In This Moment four times, and I couldn't care less if their set was pretty much the same every time. They're sound and performance was right on once again. Only problem was, I only got to hear three of their songs before me and Kim were escorted by two police officers out of the concert.
Why did this happen? Well between bands, we were all getting drinks, and where we were standing, there was this utterly obnoxious... kid there. Couldnt have been more than 19 or 20. He was just spewing out obscenities and cat calling most of the women that walked by. We were sick of hearing him, and decided to leave, however at that moment this woman walked by. She was really pretty, just a little overweight, and this...FUCKING ASSHOLE who isnt either good looking or in good shape, has the audacity to make a mooing sound as she walked by him.
I didn't think, I jabbed him hard in the ribs with my cane, and not a half a heart beat later, Kim kicked him right in his tiny cabbage patch. He dropped like the sack of shit he is. People literally applauded us as we moved as quick as we could back to the crowd. It took the police quite a while to finally find us, and they escorted us out. Once outside, one cop said he would arrest us, but nobody said they witnessed anything. It was basically his word against ours, and the other said they suspect he's really high on something they just dont know what.
Anyways. That was my Tuesday night.

While I'm opposed to violence, I can certainly appreciate why the two of you did what you did. You were lucky not to get busted. It can still come back on you, so be prepared. If he has a family with a few brain cells added together, they may try to grab some money in a civil suit.

Good, the creep deserved it. I don't know why they kicked you out.
I went to a concert also. The two girls and I went to see Noah Kahan. They really like him. They thought it was general admission but I surprised them with VIP tickets for $50 per ticket more. We met him and all of his band. And the warm-up band, who was a very cute Australian. I've got a thing for Army now after hearing the singers voice last night.
Army? We need to have a mod meeting in the hottub, hun.

There was no arrest, so I doubt there was a report. Her identity is safe. That’s just my experience with these kind of things. The police are basically lazy about writing things down. I doubt she’s in the system. And the guy was stoned, so who knows what he even remembered this morning?

All five of us left, but it was me they focused on, and then assumed Kim was the other person involved because we were standing with arms linked. The rest of our group just followed. We did assault the jerk.
They never even asked for our names, they just stuck some flashlights in our faces and took us both by the arm and escorted us out. I don't know if that one cop was being serious about arresting us or just trying to scare us, but the other guy was really cool about the whole thing and even apologized for kicking us out.

Drugs and alcohol bring out a person’s true colors. It’s probably why I like alcohol and some drugs in moderation. You know who and what you are dealing with when someone is, including yourself, 3 sheets to the wind. Anyone who’s nice when sober, but not nice otherwise, is hiding who they really are until they’re intoxicated. We all can have our less than stellar moments, but if you’re always an asshole when high, that’s the real you.
And sometimes these assholes need a clear reminder of you they are. That’s actually best when done by girls. Wish I’d seen it.

Our two new mods seem to be DIY remodelers. I walked in the other day and the place was torn apart - gutted to the steel walls. I walked in this morning and ithe walls are now lined with padded red velvet, Also 4 new leather couches with stripper poles installed in front of each. A new bar, a Syrian machine, and a bunch of female sexual toys. I was like Wtf!. I'll hold off judgement until they're done, but right now it's shaping up to look like a strip bar.

We have a pending deal to sell our townhouse. The buyers have asked if they could buy the bedroom set in the master bedroom and the bed in the spare room. I joked with Mrs JBRG that we should leave a couple of sashes that could be interpreted as restraints tied to the bed. :emot_laughing: She shot down that idea in a heartbeat.

Went out of the house for the first time since Thursday. A week after my bladder surgery, they took my catheter out. Had one in for over six weeks.
Still can't pee on my own (enlarged prostate). Now I still need to use a catheter, but a single use one I have to insert myself. (Sorry if TMI) Been afraid to leave the house and have to do that in public restroom.
This morning took wife to gym and when she finished offered to take her out to breakfast. Went across the Mississippi to a cozy little place we love. Several regulars there and lots of talk between tables. And of course food great.
All went well. Ready to try another outing soon.

Went back to the gym this morning. First time in two weeks. Just did about 20 minutes at a moderate walk on the treadmill. Most important was my stretching after. That's always a big part of my workout. Tough to keep my old joints limber.

I just got home from a very nice evening. A few weeks ago, I had mentioned a guy who had asked me out for dinner, but I had turned him down. Well today, he tried again. It was about an hour before my shift ended, he stopped by with his little angle of a dog, and asked me to join him for a late lunch at a small diner nearby. Most of the people who go there are senior citizens, but they serve a fantasy breakfast, and their coffee is simple amazing, and I have no clue what or how that is. Anyways, after some jabs in the ribs from my coworker, i said yes, and I would meet him there after I went home to clean up. Then he got all smooth on me and said it wasn't necessary because it wasnt a date, and that I "already look so pretty."
Regardless of what he said, I still did a little touch of makeup, and messed with me hair before leaving to meet him.
Long story short. His name is Allan, he's 41, he's a marine veteran, and works as a safety supervisor for an electrical company, but he's trying to get full VA disability because his right shoulder is messed up from an injury he sustained in Iraq. He's got a unique sense of humor, he was surprised to find out I was 8n the army and that u was overseas as well. and what really made me like him, he was super polite to our server. We had some coffee, I ordered a caesar chicken wrap. He got a BLT, and we just talked for 3 hours.
I could have sat and talked to him all night, but my legs and feet were getting sore, and I wanted to get out of my scrubs and into a shower. He asked very politely if he could pay, which I hesitated on before saying yes. I told him I had a great time, and then I gave him my number and said that if a late lunch was this good I need to try a date.

Don't know if this will make my day or break it.
I'm going to attempt a visit to my favorite wildlife refuge. I've missed most of the fall migration, but there's still thousands of Sandhill Cranes staging for their trip to the SE United State.
Haven't gone too far from home since surgery Oct. 21. I've healed just fine. Problem is enlarged prostrate and (WARNING***TMI) I can't pee unless I jam a 16 inch tube up my you-know-what, and drain bladder that way. :facepalm:
So just another way to add adventure to my trip. About two hours from my house.
It's more than just going to see birds. We're almost out of cheese, so this is also a CHEESE RUN! ;D

Had a very successful trip yesterday. (see above post) Brief stop before hitting the freeway was much fun! Drive went well regarding bladder problems.

Oh yes, a few pictures to follow, once I go through them quickly.

So here's the scoop.
Tomorrow, Allan is coming by bright an early in the morning, at the ironic time of 8:00, to pick me up. Since we are both veterans, after asking about my preferred dining spots and such, he decided that we are going to drive to Green Bay to a restaurant for a free Veterans day breakfast.
After that, we thought we could go to a local park and sit and talk for a while, but weather may be bad and that wont work, so he then asked if I like carnival type games, I wouldnt be apposed to it, so he suggested we go to Dave and Buster's to have a few bloody Mary's, and maybe play some of those games. I've been to Dave and Busters before, and it is a fun environment, so I think I would enjoy it.
Then we are going to Los Banditos, because I love "mexican" food, for a free lunch, and then we will head back home if nothing else comes up.
This early morning idea came up when he asked if I wanted to go to dinner with him tomorrow. I told him I cant, I have plans with my dad, so it wouldn't work. So this is what we are doing.
Yes, comments and jokes were made about him taking mout when food is free, and laughs were had. I like the way hes thinking, and although I do like to be wined and dined, it is not necessary, and I dont want to come off as high maintenance.
I love this idea, and I'm confident we're going to have a fantastic time.

Back home from our stay at our cottage. We had to prep it for winter and perform a little fall cleanup. I WAS NOT prepared for the snow we got when we were there.
It was a great weekend overall though and we decided to stay all day Monday also. It was decided after we had a crazy Sunday night that we didn't get to bed until 2am. There were many drinks and a hottub involved.

Don't know if you'd call it a "day maker", but moving along with my medical situation.
Had a PET Scan this morning. Got injected with some radioactive stuff and had to wait an hour for it to circulate around my body. Humm, radioactive. Maybe "it" will glow in the dark tonight. If it does, I'll get a shot and post in cock of the day. :emot_laughing: Along with the hour wait I got a large bottle of barium crap to drink. Come in three flavors, berry, banana or coffee cocoa. Like most, I chose berry.
Finally after all the prep, I laid on a flat bed and was sucked into a giant metal donut thing. Had to lay still for 17 minutes and not move. They helped insure that by drawing a couple plastic sheets on each side and strapping them together. Medical bondage. You can imagine the thoughts going through my head...all the KB ladies coming in and having their way with me. Hey! At my age I get to have as crazy fantasies. Not going to get much else. :emot_laughing:
Tomorrow I see the Urology Oncologist to see what they're going to do next to treat my bladder cancer.

We'll nothing glowed last night. As to the contrast that gives you the warm tingling all over the body... didn't get that. Something in my kidneys was too high. When the tech first told about getting that warm glow from the injection, I said, "Do the warm glow won't be because I have an attractive lady taking care of me."
I was thanked for the compliment. Dang but I do love going to the VA Everybody is so nice and friendly. I've said several times that it's almost a pleasure to have something wrong with me.
In a hour we're leaving to see the Urology Oncologist and learn what treatment plans they suggest for my bladder cancer. Update will follow. Support from my fellow KBers has really helped.

Got treated to a free breakfast this morning.
Wife keeps busy making doll clothes for American Girl dolls and other 18 inch dolls. Our neighborhood has changed. Girls that were gifted with doll clothes have moved out of the neighborhood. Now we have young people with babies.
There's a small cafe across the Mississippi that has lots of regulars. Guess we're semi regulars and visit with some of the others. Found out cafe owner has a granddaughter the right age.
We went this morning and wife presented the cafe owner with 5 outfits. Next thing we knew the owner comped our breakfast. We thanked her, but wife made it clear she's not to do that again. It's very important to her not to be paid for the doll clothes. It's her way of dealing with all the pain she lives with every day.

So a few hours and $450 plus tip, helps me stay looking younger. I know I can't beat the clock, but I'll settle for a tie. :emot_kiss:

Several weeks ago the decision was made to add IT to the customer rep position. Last week we had a training class. The training manager at the homeschool company rarely knows what she is talking about. I asked her a couple of questions. Both times the reply was "Uhhh...." A training video has been provided. I would have watched it last weekend but I had a bout of stomach flu. By a turn of fate we only had to do IT today and yesterday and I only had one IT call. So, this weekend, hopefully I'll be healthy enough to watch the video. Someone else recorded the video. He's not as clueless as her, but with his directions I can fake it till I make it.

Been out with Al three times since we met. Last night was an absolute riot. He took me to a place about an hour away where this two man group was playing. They were one of these comedy music duos, and they had me laughing so hard. I do not remember their names, and they were local guys. They weren't just funny, but they were good with the music as well. Most of their jokes were more locally focused, such as calling Nena, Menasha the twin cities.
He's also so easy to talk to, he has that confidence without being arrogant which is what I usually get from marines, especially when they find out I was in the Army. A lot of the time I'm talking with him, I find it easy to slip back into that mindset and then the filter drops out and I talk about almost everything. This is not helped by the consumption of multiple margaritas.
Im looking back at some of the things ive said, and I'm a little embarrassed. I was telling him why I haven't gotten married (he asked) and happened to get carried away with some of the passed men I've "dated", and when I said some get intimidated because I like it a little rough, he choked on his jack and coke. He smiled, chucked, and said "Awesome".
Anyways, kind of riding an edge between "dating" and hanging out with a guy friend, but still had a lot of fun.

Treated myself to a spa day. Three hours of being pampered, oiled up, rubbed down, and a deep tissue massage, with a facial (no, not that). Minimal microdermabrasion treatment.
So a few hours and $450 plus tip, helps me stay looking younger. I know I can't beat the clock, but I'll settle for a tie. :emot_kiss:
I would have pampered you, oiled you up and rubbed you down for free... 8) 8)

Usual dinner with friends last night. Gave me the chance to bring them up to date on my cancer. It made my day because of all the support they gave me. When things get rough, as I know they will, wife and I will have lots of help.
Going to best friends for lunch today to tell them. This kind of news isn't for phone or text.
Still not sure how to tell sisters. We've never been close, even growing up. That's for another day.

This happened yesterday - 19 November.
First thing was we got notice that the conditions on the sale of our townhouse have been removed. This means the Mrs and I are officially homeless. Title to the townhouse passes to the new owners on 1 December.
Second -- WE ARE IN LA PAZ. Arrived yesterday after a 10 day trip (nine days of driving and 1 extra day visiting my brother in the Phoenix area.)
That is all.

Video call from daughter. Now that she has a new phone we can see each other as we talk. Wow I'm we're getting into the 2020s. :facepalm: Naturally our vid calls mean disturbing the pets and getting them on camera :D

Wednesday before thanksgiving, I spent the entire day with my sister. We watched some Amazon prime, baked, cooked, and did a LOT of talking. She loves to bake, and is way better at it than I am, but we make a good team. We missed out on doing it last year because of covid, and the year before, we had our own thing to take care of. Anyways, it was great to be back over there with her again.
The conversation did get around to Ben, and me introducing them, she broke her silence, and shocked me by saying she is already starting to see somebody. She gave me all the details, but for secrets sake, I can not tell more. She finally told the whole family yesterday during thanksgiving, so the secret is out, which is why I said this much. We will all meet him sometime between now and Christmas.
We had so many people over at my dad's house yesterday. All family and relatives through marriage. Not sure how he got that done, but he did it. There were some cousins that had to leave early to make it to in laws, but otherwise we all stayed there. I stayed really late to finish cleaning, and spent the night there. Up early home to shower and then to work.
I had so much fun with everbody, and we all had a good laugh as Detroit lost yet again.

Had a visit from the family up the block. Mom, dad both little girls and Moose the dog.
With colder weather, we haven't seen much of the girls lately. They loved to come visit when playing outside.
Wife has made a lot of doll clothes for the kids and she had a couple outfits for the girls.
In return, the kids had made a hand colored card for us and included an expensive chocolate bar. (Yeah, that's gone now) A bonus was a slip in the card. It was a gift certificate at wife's favorite fabric store. $150.00.! Way too much, as wife never wants payment for the doll clothes she makes.

Thanksgiving, part 2. Wife's son came by to enjoy the belated holiday with us. He loves the double pay he gets for working holidays.
We quit cooking big meals years ago, so off to the restaurant we went. Had good food, well taken care of by a favorite waitress and took home pie for tonight.
Wife's son kept checking his watch. Had to be home by one for the start of today's Minnesota Wild hockey game. Huge fan...has bug collection of their jerseys which he wears every where.
Got him home with minutes to spare for the game. As we were close to the fabric store my wife just got a gift certificate for, that was next stop. (See above post)
She went wild a has good supply of fabric.

So I have a client that's been harassing me because orders on his e-commerce site keep failing. Working through everything I conclude that the failure is on the payment gateway side, not on my side. A payment gateway he chose.
"No. It's still your fault. This is unacceptable"
This morning he phones sheepishly to admit I did nothing wrong, the fault is the gateway side, and I need to update some details to make it work. Will I charge for it?
Yes motherfucker. ;D

Goldfinger was the first James Bond movie I ever saw. Being a barely pubescent teenager (I was 14 at the time), I thought her character name was uproariously funny. All these years later I'm amazed that they got away naming her Pussy Galore in 1964.
Maybe it's because we had just come out of the 'idyllic' 1950s. (Forget the calendar, in my opinion, the 1950s ended abruptly on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.)
I don't know how it got past the censors during a decade when you couldn't even say the word 'pregnant' on television, but it was funny as hell.

Bringing us back on topic... what made my day was my Medicare Wellness Exam. Not so much that I was given a clean bill of health, I expected that.
No, what made my day was the smart-ass prank I pulled on my doctor.
At the beginning of the exam, they say, "I'm going to give you three words and you need to remember what they are because I'll ask you to say them before you leave."
I got really excited and said, "Ooh, can I have apple, table and penny?"
The look on the guy's face cracked me up. You see, they always use the same three words, which I remembered from last year.
What can I say, I'm easily amused. :emot_lmfao:

HELL FUCKIN YEAH!!
There are nine of us that live in a row that have the same landlord. So, two of my neighbors became besties. They would sit out front, drink mass quantities of beer and verbally abuse anyone that came within view or earshot. Thing is, these guys were humored in that the landlord was trying to do the christian thing letting them stay and these two drunks were in no condition to fight any of us. So, one day, one of them tried to pick a fight with one neighbor and then tried to pick a fight with another neighbor the next day. We had enough and as one we all called the landlord. So, troublemaker number one was evicted on the first and today, his bestie moved out as well. Hell yeah.

Saw the Wisconsin comedian Charlie Berens last night... but I'm sure you all know that already 😉 I think he is an absolute riot. He had me.laughing so hard my side was starting to hurt. Allan is a bears fan, so he wasnt a fan of some of the jokes, but that just made them funnier to me.
It was me and Allan, and a couple of his buddies. He introduced me as "a friend that works at Kindie's (his dog) vet" I appreciate that he's willing to deal with my relationship oddities. His friends were nice and very polite. They are all former Marines, and I could tell even before they told me.
It was a lot of fun

When Goldfinger was released the term "pussy" was not in common use in the UK so the name Pussy Galore went right over my teenage head. Doh!

Went to the gym today and saw a pair of high platform boots with spikes under one of the benches. Wife and I both knew who they belonged to. Went over to where she was working out and confirmed. We all got a good laugh at her outlandish footwear. She said at only 5 feet tall, she needs a "lift". She's a bubbly person and always a lot of fun when we see her. Said she turns 50 in February. Good to see a cougar living large. She was happy to model her shoes for me. (https://i.imgur.com/CEcv3QY.jpg)

Remote start a couple minutes before I go out there. Heaven😉
I have slippers at home i put in the microwave for a minute to keep my feet warm, wonder if they have something similar for office chairs I could use at work, but I doubt my coworkers would be very fond of my putting something I sit on in the microwave.

I hit a deer the first week of November and totaled my car. I have spent six weeks fighting with the insurance company, and they finally agreed to pay me more than twice what I bought it for. I got a good deal on the car, but the settlement was an unexpected bonus. So I went out a bought a new car today. I came home, sat down, and cried tears of relief. I have had so much hanging over my head. I had no idea how stressed out I was. Feel like Christmas in December.

Post of the Day from you Toe!
The year ended pretty badly for me, (so badly in fact, that I considered a full version updgrade, but decided on a version update to 9.11). But after a long phone call last night, I think 2022 will be alright. I'm positive it will be okay. 2021 and 2020 were bad years. I'm very optimistic about 2022. I plan to travel more which means less time here at KB possibly, but remember everybody, Real Life Comes First.

I never left. I’ve been here 13 years. 91 dog years.
I recently moved to a new city, and have undertaken a new career path, and have some things going on with friends and family. And some charity work. So real life is making more demands on me than the time I spent in the bomb shelter during the pandemic.
If you stay here long enough, you’ll realize that the long timers all have a certain pathological need for expression that this forum facilitates. You can say and do things here that you would never get away with at the PTA club.
I have been known as Prometheus, Toe, Merovingian, Porn Hubby, and a few others. I’ve broken the 10,000 posts barrier three different times. Have received around 2,500 woo’s.
So I’ve been wondering if you are the reincarnation of another member. On one hand, I get the impression that you’re from Asia, and English is a second language. On the other hand, you seem pretty comfortable around here, so I am wondering if this is your first time.

Far be it for me to agree with much of what Toe says but, I also had a hunch that some things said or posted remind me of another ex poster. He also was extremely sharp and knowledgable, in fact was a moderator for a short period (no, not Eric). Matters not, I've learned to read only what I am interested in and ignore the rest.
Speaking of the past, while browsing the other day, I noticed that Athos131 signed on a couple of days ago.

Couple days ago actually, Jen brought her boyfriend to Christmas Eve. She was so nervous to bring him by, but everybody loved him. She had never brought any ody before, so I guess I get why she was worried. Plus my wacko family cant be a bit offputting to some, but this guy fell right into place. I dont know if she expected everybody to start drilling him like you'd see on tv, but there was none of that. Little jokes here and there, but nothing that would be considered too far. He's got a great sense of humor, he seems really smart, he has a head for style and what looks good without being overdressed, He's very attentive to her and got her drinks and food without looking whipped. He is also really really cute. As the night went on, and my level of inebriation got higher, I joked with her that had to keep reminding myself that this is her guy, and I have my own piece I can call on.
The next day, we all got together for the packer game, but he didn't show up, and this is when my Aunts, my cousins, and my Aunt's mother got her by herself and we got the details, or at least what she was comfortable talking about. I will not disclose what she shared other than to say, he's just as attentive in the bedroom as he is elsewhere.
I am so very very happy for her, before this guy, most of her boyfriends were kind of losers. As an example, she dated one guy who claimed to be a professional contractor, but I saw some of the "work" he did, I wouldn't even call him a handy man. Then he got into trouble for taking jobs, taking money and then leaving town. Most took advantage of her kindness, she has the same taste in men my dad has in women basically.
Couldn't be happier for her that she found herself a really good guy.

Had a video call from my daughter getting a Happy New Year greeting. Oh, and she and her husband were on a ski lift heading up a small mountain near them. She tried to "take me along" on their ski run. All I saw was white snow. :D Guess she needs a way to mount her phone to keep it upright. Still it was fun hearing her squeals of joy as she raced down the slope.

I’ve been working some pretty long hours recently, and I have to admit, I feel a little achy in the evening. So I finally got on Amazon and bought myself a Shiatsu massager, and a foot massager. So I do about 15 minutes on the lower back, then I do the feet, then I do the upper back, and then I’m so limber, I can just pull my cock for a good half hour and make an extra big tasty load. Because I just feel so goddamn good. Thank you Amazon.

A woman from Iowa was in the Twin Cities with her boxer to attend a dog show. Like many this winter, she left her car running to warm it up. Then she left the van unattended and BAM...some asshat hopped in and drove off with her prize Boxer kenneled in the back.
The police released video surveillance photo of the carjacker. A St. Paul family recognized the man and knew where he lived. They called the dog owner in Iowa and told her they would go looking for the van if it took all night.
They did find the van and called the owner again. It was locked so permission was given to break a window. Entering the van, the dog was still alive. Cold and hungry, but alive. Temps had been below zero too.
Rescuers wrapped the dog in a blanket, feed and watered him. He recognized his owners voice on the phone and really perked up. There were lots of happy tears :D https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2022/01/10/st-paul-family-finds-stolen-dog/?amp

Yesterday my cousins, sister, and I hashed this football game hosting thing. The majority of the issue was both shelby, and lyndsey wanted to host the playoff game.
Shelby just had some remodeling done and she wants to host and show it all off. I've seen it, and what she and her husband had done looks really good, so I don't blame her.
Lyndsey wants people over because they bought a 70,000 inch tv (FYI, being sarcastic here) and she has this idea for a setup with multiple TVs like youd see in a sports bar.
Either way, I dont care, all I'm doing in baking bread, sweets, and making my Family Famous Meatballs. My sister is over the moon happy she was involved with this, she always loves being in the middle of any kind of family thing even if it's an arguement. So we agreed that Shelby would host this, and no matter what happens the rest of the season, Lyndsey will host a super bowl party.
Done and done, now I'm just spending my day in the kitchen. Do it now so I dont rush it later.

Seven 3/4 inch thick rib eye steaks (just over 3 kilograms) for 1200 pesos (about $73.00 Cdn). This from a butcher shop. The only price I can find for the price of rib eyes at home would have this amount of meat costing over $128.00 Cdn. And, beef in Mexico in general is considered expensive. They don't typically eat beef because of the price.

I’m so pleased to see so much activity here from new members and those that may have been around but aren’t quiet any more.
I have a habit of not welcoming new members. It’s not that I don’t feel welcoming, I sometimes just don’t want to jinx it. I don’t want to say hi and make a brief connection, and then not see them on ever again. And from a less welcoming point of view, if you can’t be be bothered to stick around, you’re not worth my time.

Had myself an excellent workout this morning. Even though the gym is extra fullnqith new year resolution people, I got all my favorite equipment and spots when I wanted them. What really made my day was this woman asking for help. Normally I can get a little annoyed by it, but it is far less annoying then the people who show up, they're loud, all over the place, and spend as much time on their phone as they do the equipment.
Example; guy sitting in a leg machine texting and not exercising. That is irritating.
This woman however was so nice and polite, and none of it actually interrupted my own excersices. She would stand a little ways away from me jogging in place and wait for me to be done with what I was doing before coming to ask for more help. There are trainers and gym employees she could have gone to, but with so many extra people there, they are almost always busy. I ended up just asking her to join my session, and do what I was doing, and she was so happy to do just that. I explained my excercise, watch her do some, and then we would do it together.
Afterwards we went for coffee and she is so much fun to talk too. I shared my gym days with her, and hopefully I'll have a workout partner.

Stopped by a local coffee place for a frappe and cinnamon bun. The frappe arrived in a to-go cup with a rounded lid with a hole in the middle. The whipped cream poked through said hole. Of course, being a naughty boy, I asked my wife what that reminded her of causing her to grin. I then added it looked like a very excited nipple sticking through then asked what I should do about it prior to licking it. ;D

A lawyer “friend“ recently referred his cousins to me. I was flattered. Then I was flabbergasted. They’re all bat shit crazy. Changed their minds repeatedly, told me to do this and that. Three of them had me on speed dial. And then they said to drop the whole thing, and had the nerve to ask for my fee back. I gave them a 50% refund. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Well.... just found out I've spent two months of my life on KB. Checked the stats in my profile and it shows I've spent 60 days and a few minutes here.
Guess that doesn't sound like much as May will mark my 10th anniversary here. :roll:
I've only been a member for 2 years, and I've already spent 75 days on KB.... not sure what to think of that...

I'm guessing that's the time you're logged in, though, and not necessarily the time you actually spend browsing. I'm already on 28 days and counting, and as much as I love KB, there's no way I've spent nearly 700 actively reading/browsing.

Coach Eric and I once both set Google Chrome to refresh every few minutes, and then left our computers on 24/7. We both logged over one year “on” KB.

It's official. Only six more weeks of winter. That well known rodent says so. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/02/us/groundhog-day-punxsutawney-phil-trnd/index.html Phil is no doubt one of the most famous forecaster ever. No one ever says how old he is now. :D
So just another six weeks of snow and ..wait!
I'm in Minnesota. Winter here usually goes into April, sometimes May. :facepalm:
If a rodent can be counted on as a relatively competent prognosticator of weather, then we are in for four more weeks of what they call winter down here.

As I said in my other post, we're home from Florida. Upon arriving home, the little neighbor girls mom called and asked if they could come visit. She's the cutest thing. They delivered the Girl Scout cookies I ordered back in December. Just what I needed, maybe I'll start eating right on Monday.

A light coating of snow. I love waking up to a fresh white landscape sometimes .
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. He's a wine drinker, so I guess I'll join the other three with wine.
Chinese takeout for the four of us. Yum. Been too long. Almond Boneless Chicken for me, can't wait.

Decided to check in with my "girlfriend" who is from Ukraine to see how her family is doing. She informed me that her sister was safe but her nephew had departed Kiev to go home 16 hours previous and had not yet arrived. Home is normally a 5 hour drive from Kiev.
A couple hours later, she informed me that after 18 hours, he finally walked through the door. I didn't ask for details because I doubt she had any but I suspect it was just congestion as a result of all the people fleeing Kiev.
Fuck, I wish there was something I could do other than watch from a great distance.

Made it back to the gym today...first time in two weeks. My chemotherapy really slowed me down. The chemo in addition to attacking cancer cells also affects red blood cells.

Finding out the IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation) has banned all Russian and Belorussian teams from competing in any of this year's international competition.
Finding out that FIFA, after a totally neutered response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has disqualified Russia from World Cup qualifying and any other FIFA sanctioned competition.
I am very happy to see the international community respond the way it has to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Because of my background, I've been saying that Putin could not be trusted. In fact I trust him as far as I can throw and T-34 tank.
That is all.

The last two days have been filled with some family fun. Spent most of the day Wednesday with my sister, just hanging out, talking, watching movies, and drinking wine. She is so very much in love with her buea, and I couldnt be happier for her. He is a really good guy and is treating her so well. I know I'm not much of a wine drinker, but she loves doing it because as she says, makes her feel mature and sophisticated, even though she's in her 30s.
Yesterday my brother, sister, and I all went to Appleton and hit up some stores, and even went out for some fondue. We haven't had a day like that since before covid. With my working weekends, it's rare that we would all have the same day off, but Jason had a weeks Vacation, and Jen didnt have much work to do, and had most of the day off. Thursday is my scheduled day, so we made the best of it and went out and had some fun. Plus he was pretty happy to get away from the kids.

I have to admit, that was some pretty freaky stuff. But I’ve heard most of those comments before, because I have a couple of Russian friends that are totally brainwashed by it Putin’s propaganda. I’ve known some of them for over 20 years, and I had to block them, because they kept spamming my pages with his crap.

It's nigh impossible to get folks to change their religious/political mindset. Professionals advise people not to attempt a dialog --- it won't work. The only thing that might work is asking the question: "What item of information would make you consider changing your mind?"
If the response is, "Nothing," then it's time to walk away.

This one friend is really sexy and hot. And I was going to have her over as an au pair for my kids. Then my ex got wind of it, so nothing ever happened, but that’s OK. We stayed in touch all these years. And she is so freaking sexy. She’s got all that Russian stuff going on that I just love. But she is a goddamn Putin idiot. So I guess somethings were not meant to be.

Yesterday was Jussie Smollett's sentencing in Chicago for being found guilty of faking a homophobic attack on himself. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail and ordered to repay the costs the Chicago Police Department incurred investigating the case. This case brought shame to the county's State's Attorney for influencing the investigation. It wasn't until a court appointed investigator found substantial evidence to try Smollett was he then brought to trial.

A client complains that his wife really had problems registering on his website, which is totally understandable if she has brain made if cheese.
So, I change nothing, delete my user, and make a video of the registration process.
That's perfect. That's such a slick experience. :facepalm:
The number of times, when I worked in IT support, that was quite common. My clients seemed to think I was a mind reader. You know the type. Those who send an e-mail saying my computer doesn't work. Nothing else that might give you an idea as to what to address. I'm so glad those days are over for me.

Will finally be getting out of the hospital today! Been a long haul, came in Thursday with mild chest pains. Ended up with two stents, which is normally not that serious.
Problem came from the "clarifier" used to help see what they were doing. Potassium levels were very high in my body and that's kept me here all this time.

Sister and I drove out to door county for an up of coffee. She called and asked if I was busy, and the said she wanted to go to whitefish dunes state park, and I said I'd go. So we jumped in the car cranked the radio and made our way there. Stopped at the door county coffee shop and headed over to the park. When we got there the weather was brisk but jot too cold. 57° by the water. We sat outside for a little but enjoying our coffee and some pastries, but then started getting a little colder.
At the park, they have a community building for anybody to use and inside there is a fireplace. Since my dad usually makes me build the fires when I'm over visiting and want one, I've become quite good at it. I suggested we go inside have a fire and talk and relax in there. About a half hour into our chat, a couple came in with two kids, and asked if we minded if they joined us. Obviously we didn't care, and the guy put another log on the fire and the four of them played some cards and stuff. They weren't loud, but we had to change conversations, we finished up her personal chat on the way home.
Was a nice relaxing fun day. Love door county

Down here in La Paz, we don't flip to DST until 3 April. So, for the next little while, we (the Mrs and I) are living in the past.
What really made my day was the Canadian government announcing they were doing away with pre-arrival covid testing effective 1 April. The primary effect on us is we are going to save some money by not having to pay for a test. The government will still do some random testing but that is on their dime, not the one in my pocket.

Spent 14 hours in the car yesterday with my friend/coworker Kim to go get a puppy. Somebody was giving them up, and in order to prevent them from going to somebody who doesnt care, we drove 7 hours one way to get he little guy. he was so cute and so friggin loveable that it nearly made me cry just holding onto him.
A lot of times when people just give dogs away, especially pitbulls like this one, they dont go to the best people. The idea is when you have to pay for something you put more effort into it. That's why even rescuing dogs costs up to $200. Not only does it help the shelter, but it keeps people that dont have or want to spend the money. It's not a theory, but something we've seen way too often.
So we drove there through snow, slush, and rain... Kim drove through the snow and slush to make sure we avoided all ditches... and picked the little guy up and immediately headed back. We stopped for so snacks and gas, which ended up being almost $150 round trip, but we split it so it wasnt too bad, plus I'd have paid the while thing just to have that little cutie sleeping on my lap. Plus he liked me more than Kim because even though he pooped on me once before we could stop, he peed on Kim twice, so I was his favorite.
Anyways, after we dropped him off, we went back to her place and enjoyed a few drinks, ordered a pizza, and celebrated a job well done.

As soon as we took off to go get him, the rescue posted about him, and once people found out they started asking about him, but in the end there were two couples that were very interested. I dont k ow who he went too, but he needs to be on a 24 hour hold for health and wellness checks. I really dont know who will get him, but I know it isn't me 😭😭😭

Spent 14 hours in the car yesterday with my friend/coworker Kim to go get a puppy. Somebody was giving them up, and in order to prevent them from going to somebody who doesnt care, we drove 7 hours one way to get he little guy. he was so cute and so friggin loveable that it nearly made me cry just holding onto him.
A lot of times when people just give dogs away, especially pitbulls like this one, they dont go to the best people. The idea is when you have to pay for something you put more effort into it. That's why even rescuing dogs costs up to $200. Not only does it help the shelter, but it keeps people that dont have or want to spend the money. It's not a theory, but something we've seen way too often.
So we drove there through snow, slush, and rain... Kim drove through the snow and slush to make sure we avoided all ditches... and picked the little guy up and immediately headed back. We stopped for so snacks and gas, which ended up being almost $150 round trip, but we split it so it wasnt too bad, plus I'd have paid the while thing just to have that little cutie sleeping on my lap. Plus he liked me more than Kim because even though he pooped on me once before we could stop, he peed on Kim twice, so I was his favorite.
Anyways, after we dropped him off, we went back to her place and enjoyed a few drinks, ordered a pizza, and celebrated a job well done.
A well deserved WOO for Kim and you. 8)

A well deserved Woo from me as well. ALL of the animals that my wife and I have had (even before we met) have been rescues. Two cats that we have had have been such pure rescues that we didn't pay anybody for them.
The first, I rescued in 1982 shortly after I got home from an evening shift when I was in San Diego. He was on the steps going up to my apartment when I got home. I brought him in for a bit then had to go out for some snacks. Told the kitten if he was still there when I got back, I would keep him. Next morning I was off to get deworming pills, kitty litter, cat food, litter box and other cat accessories.
The second "free" cat was found under the sea-cans that we stored our motorcycles in when I was teaching motorcycle riding. I couldn't bring the kitten home because I was on my motorcycle but told the guys if the kitty was still there in the morning, I would come and pick it up and transport it to the SPCA. Told Mrs JBRG about this kitten and we decided before she even saw it that we would keep her because of her colour. We thought she was black but when the angle of the light is right, you can see that she is actually very dark chocolate brown.
The rest of the animals we have adopted have come either from the SPCA or other reputable animal rescues. 4 dogs (two with us right now) and 5 other cats (only one still with us). As much as we love the animals, we have decided that as they pass on, the three we have left are not going to be replaced.

Great day in court. Totally schooled the other side. I’m having a conversation with the judge, and opposing counsel was standing there screaming and crying, because we’re making friends, and the judge is shaking his head in agreement with me. Got everything I wanted. The judge even told me he’d already granted a motion that I had filed. Without a hearing...

Spent all morning with dear ol dad. Took him out for breakfast and was actually able to pull a fast one and pay for the meal. I'm sure within the next few days, I'll find the money he hid somewhere in my car. I k ownits usually a sunday morning thing, but we had some Bloody Marys, and my dad got a little tipsy from them because he was getting double everything. Not just a chaser, but a full bottle of beer for breakfast... not even 9:00 and dad is celebrating... as it turns out, he's got himself a date this weekend.
Normally I'd roll my eyes and wonder what kind of a mess hes getting himself into, but the thing is, I know this woman. I've met her many times before, and my dad has always had his eyes on her, but she's never been available before. Her last relationship ended last month, and they ran into each other and he jumped at the opportunity. She is a very sweet person, and she is very beautiful. Told me he felt a little odd asking her out right after she said her relationship had ended, but he wasn't taking any chances she find somebody else, and they aren't getting any younger.
He hasnt told Jason or Jen yet, but he will eventually. I ended up texting them right before we left, and he spent the drive talking to Jason about the whole thing. Little pissed at him though for bringing up the money my dad got, but she is no gold digger, and even if she was, I wouldn't care, because she is just a great person.
In case anybody is wondering or if the thought crossed your minds, I did offer to get him Allan's pills. I didnt say they were Allan's, but told him I know a guy who no longer needs them. He declined very quickly, and said to never mention that again. I had a good laugh about it though.
I'm really happy for him.

One of the more unpleasant side effects of the blue pill is acid reflux. Because every time I’ve used it, I took my partner out for dinner and a bottle of wine, came home with a full stomach, and then took this blue pill that led to hours of fucking with a painful erection. And I don’t know what it is, but I always ended up having GERT and my whole goddamn system felt fucked up for a day or two afterwards. So you probably did your dad a favor. But it is awfully sweet that you offered them. And your surrogate dad would be happy to take one. Because he wants to fuck his sweetheart blonde.

Was waiting for first drug of my chemo today when I got a phone call from a friend in Michigan. We met this couple in Mexico years ago. Both of us couples stayed at the same hotel each year. Between Mexico vacations, we'd stay in touch by email and text.
I'd received an email on the same day I got my heart attack and had stents put in. Got behind on getting back to them, so she decided to call. Chatted a few minutes until it was time to start first drug.
She called back awhile ago and we all got to chat on speaker phone for half hour. So nice to catch up and have me a boost after a couple hard weeks.
It was a great day maker.

Red wine is notorious for causing acid reflux. Found that out the other day. And also, hard liquor, especially the brown ones, like whiskey and bourbon, I was told. :( :(

I’d just say wine in general does not agree with me. White and red, they’re both highly acidic. I’m also discovering as I age, my appetites are declining. I’ll look at the menu and order like I did when I was 28, and then enough food to feed me for a week shows up at the table. I’ve gotten to the point now where I want to split an entrée with a friend. Otherwise there’s going to be a lot of food left on the plate.

Got home late last night. The wind was horrible and Dan had difficulty driving in it. There was a line of about 20 larger vehicles (RVs & Trucks) that were driving in the right hand lane at 40-45 mph with hazards on. The radio says gusts were 45-55 mph range. Even driving slow, one of those gusts would push us out of our lane onto the shoulder. Then there were some narrower construction zones. My hands were a sweaty mess I was so nervous for 7 hours.

Sex in general tends to unclog my sinuses. I find that getting laid is a wonderful and fun antihistamine. I guess my wife's position that I don't need the enhancing pills is doing me a favour if my system reacted like Allan's.
I'm one of those guys who on Covid questionnaires would respond no to the runny nose symptom because I always seem to have a runny nose. Just the way my sinus plumbing works. My runny nose has nothing to do with any illness.

Fabulous :emot_kiss: Chocolate actually does pair good with bourbon for those that think Jed and I are joking. I often have a small cup of M&M's nearby when having a pour, and will eat one every now and then between a tip of the Glencairn.
If you like those peanut butter cookies and bourbon, you've got to try hot chocolate and Sqrrl peanut butter whiskey.
I’ve had a few flavored whiskeys before including peanut butter, although the bottle was different than above. I do not recall the brand for the peanut butter, but I remember my liquor store recommending Bird Dog Blackberry Whiskey.
Despite my love of peanut butter, I did not like any of these flavored whiskeys. All I’ve tried were too sweet. If they could infuse the flavor and ease up on the sugar, I might like them.
And watcher is correct about chocolate and red wine.
Try this: a decadent dessert, let’s say chocolate peanut butter pie; take a very small bite of pie followed by a sip of bourbon. Once the burn of the bourbon fades, take a sip of red wine. Repeat until the decadent dessert is gone and you have trouble getting out of your chair.

Hearing about Bob’s good day.
I was having a sandwich at a local deli, when a truly stunning young lady came in and sat down beside me. She was a dead ringer for young Lady Gaga. I asked her if anyone had told her that, and she giggled and blushed, and said, “Do you think so?” Made my day.
Please tell me you didn't end the conversation there. No phone #? Do I have to remind you that you and I have an open relationship.
She was all legs. She had on a pair of denim hot pants. And a bulky sweater that came down to her hemline. And I’m talking about some absolutely freaking gorgeous legs. But I would estimate her age to be 20? And I am thrice that? I was just flattered that she flirted with me. But I’m past asking for digits. We both had our phones out, wish I had snapped a few.

He was one of 250 students so recognized, out of a student body exceeding 52,000. He’s in the top half of the top 1% academically at my state’s flagship university. I can’t believe I’m related to him. Unbelievable. So he got an honor cord and a medal that he’ll wear at commencement next year. He’s leaving next month to study abroad for seven months. We sang the alma mater, and I had tears running down my cheeks. I’m just so proud of him. He is undoubtedly the best thing I ever did in my life.

Yay, happy day! I'm a sucker for photo albums.
Here's my small contribution:
(https://i.imgur.com/yFJHO9m.jpg)
This little bird flew into the window of my study with a tremendous thud. It lay on the ground twitching and I thought it was a goner. About five minutes later I took this photo, wondering if it would ever get up. Ten minutes later it flew away.
It must have been all the healing vibes I was sending its way.

I'm happy that the bird is sitting up like that in your picture. After a window collision, if really bad, the bird might be on it's back or side, and that is a bad position for it to be in. For proper neurological functions the bird need to be uprite. Otherwise it will most likely perish.
For some bad news. Even after a bird gets up and may seem fine, and even fly off, it may be suffering from brain bleeding and will soon die. This all depends on how the bird hit the window. To a third especially during certain times of day, they dont see glass, they see a reflection of trees, grass, or nature. They dont k ow what glass is and dont expect the "invisible" wall.
In a lot of cases, and I'm hoping that the bird in your image is one of these, when she/he flew into the glass, the beak always hits first, but hopefully this forced the birds head up, and the then hit the window with the breast. This will have literally knocked the wind out of the bird. It will glapnits wings and flutter about trying the catch its breath, and then when its feels better, will.flu off.
If you ever witness a bird hitting a window dont feel scared or nervous to give it aid. Just pick it up gently and hold it uprite in a firm but gentle grip until it seems to have gained itself. If you notice bleeding from the mouth or beak, or its head isnt facing the right way looking like its neck might be broken, then all you can do is put it in a snug location and let it pass..
I know this seems like a HUGE debbie downer moment, just giving hoping that the bird is doing good.

You're not going to believe it-
we were working in the yard today. Raking leaves that fell late and blew into our yard. Every spring we end up with about 15 bags of yards waste. This year is no different. Leaves mainly but also some of my tall ornamental grasses
Anyways, I was on my hands and knees raking behind some hydrangeas under one of my windows and there were 3 dead birds. Less than an hour later I'm in the house near that window and "bang". It was like a knock on the window. Dan went outside and looked and sure enough, number 4. wth!?
I had a little wind chime that I had out in the garage and hung it out in front of the window. Hopefully that stops this craziness.

Thank you for that informative post. It answers all of the questions I had about what happened to the bird, before and after.
It's not the first time I've witnessed such an accident. I used to work in a building that had some kind of silver coating on the windows. Bird strikes (usually pigeons) were common. Hearing a dreadful bang on the windows, folks would rush over and look down at the roof over the lobby of the building. That's where the stunned birds ended up, and where they stayed until one of the janitors brought a ladder and cleaned up.
After reading your post, I'm thinking that the bird was stunned. At first it lay on its side, but then sat up, as in the photo. When it did move, it flapped up onto the railing of the balcony, looked around, and took off.
What I didn't take into account was internal bleeding. Looking back, that seems very likely.

Great idea MJ. Anything to keep them away from glass.
I have prisms hanging in a few of my windows that dont face the garage or other buildings. This send can send light back out through the window and will give the bird a kind of heads up that something isn't normal.
And go with light blinds and more sheer curtains. Blackout blinds and curtains are great for us, but they essentially turn you windows into a mirror for birds.

I'm guessing you don't live in London Hilda. Virtually no garden birds left now, the occasional blackbird or robin. Certainly haven't seen a thrush for a few years. Loss of habitat is the main reason but my other hate is that crap-everywhere-except-your-own-litter-tray spawn of the devil the household cat. Everyone that moves into my street now has at least one.

What about the starlings that used to nest in the city center, fly off to the countryside in the daytime, then fly back around sunset?
The last time I was in London was ten years ago, and I didn't recognize the place. Neither do I recognize the London skylines they use to establish location in TV series.
As for cats, I didn't know they were so popular as pets. Less maintenance than dogs? Effective rodent removers? I have an allergy to them, or their fur, or whatever, so I steer well clear. As do they.

Probably not. I think they're smart enough to sense that I'm not interested.
Before I learned to avoid them, I do remember cats jumping onto my lap, purring loudly, then sinking their claws into me. I guess that's cat language for "I like you."

Long gone I'm afraid. No more spectacular swarming displays at sunset. The sparrows mysteriously all up and left in one go a few years ago. Used to see house martins in the summer up until a few years ago as well, messy little buggers if they blessed you with a nest (especially if it was over your front door), but I loved watching them hoover up the insects in flight.
Nothing seems to disturb the pigeons, though they are becoming a bit of a pest. Strangely, when I was a child magpies were rare in London, hence the nursery rhyme (One for sorrow, etc.), now they are much more common in parks.

i''m from Osaka, Japan originally. I moved here about 4 years ago with my parents. My father took over a factory and does well for himself. Yes, Lujan Akasi is my name. My grandfather was furious, that we moved. He must have softened after four years of silence. He called me today talking about honor and how he was wrong. He asked me to apologize to my father. I don't know why he didn't do it himself, but I'll take it. He really is a strong man. It was a good day.

Thanks for the link. The article has gone straight into my DEVONthink database for future retrieval.
I can't get my head around the London sparrows disappearing so suddenly. I live in an urban area and they're everywhere, as are the crows, the pigeons, and a half-dozen other birds. Even the occasional kite. Whatever caused the disappearance, it sounds ominous.

What made my day was coming across this photo as I was browsing my archives, looking for pix of people posing in front of road signs. (Don’t ask!)
(https://i.imgur.com/5FiRUBU.jpg)
The lady’s amazing hair triggered a memory chain. I recalled a friend with hair equally long, though silky-straight. I remembered her name, then I recalled that she’d gifted me her record player when she graduated from college and returned home.
That brought back happy memories of the vinyl LPs I listened to on that player, and that sent me off on a nostalgic listening binge, beginning with Led Zeppelin I and ending with Ustad Ali Akabar Khan's Pre-Dawn to Sunrise Ragas.

Minus the tornadoes that passed by us, and confusion with Illinois tolls, I had an absolute blast with my Dad. For one, I could not BELIEVE how many windmills are in Indiana. It was absolutely crazy how many. As afar as the eye could see was just windmills, and then I have never seen so many semi trucks at one time either. If I were to guess I'd say every 8 out of 10 vehicles on the road were "big rigs".
We didn't go to any of the bourbon distilleries, but my dad was quite tempted to stop at the bulleit distillery.
One thing I enjoyed the most was when a radio station would go out and we would have to scan for another one. Found out my dad is a huge huge country music fan. I knew he liked it, but I was shocked by how many country songs he knew. Obviously the closer to Kentucky we got, the more he enjoyed the music. It was mostly classic rock and country that we listened to.
He also shared a few stories about him traveling ngf cross country that inhad never heard before. He used to work with electric company putting up electric poles. I had no idea he had ever done that.
Told him if he ever wants to just go for a drive to wherever, I'd be more than happy to navigate for him. Love him so much❤❤❤❤❤

YES, the big rigs. OMG. I hated them passing us because our RV is so wide. And a few times, he was passing one, meanwhile on our left, one was passing.
I wasn't nervous at all. Nope, not me. I was cood as a cucumber. I was only spoken to sharply once. "Jules, I only get nervous when you start screaming 'Oh my god we're all going to die', so please stop doing that."

Back when I was a kid, everything other than the Interstates were pretty much two lane roads. My grandfather had a leadfoot, and so he would try to pass four or five slower moving vehicles at a time. Driving into oncoming traffic, he would cut back into our lane at the last possible moment. Sometimes even causing the oncoming drivers to lay on the horn, or swerve to avoid him.
Most vehicles had bench seats back then, and people seldom wore seatbelts. So I would panic, brace myself, and then slide onto the floor of the car in the fetal position, certain that we were all going to die. The funny thing is, 50 years later, I do the same thing to my kids on occasion.

Aggressive drivers (always over the speed limit, always overtake, etc.) are the least likely to be involved in car accidents. The most likely are those who drive perfectly almost all the time, but make an error of judgment once in a while. At least that's what my advanced driving instructor told me. Strange to say, the white-knuckle drivers who roll along well under the speed limit, and never overtake, are also low risk. Go figure.

I am a personal injury attorney, and I’ve handled over 5000 motor vehicle collisions in my career. My personal observation is that the number one problem is driver inattention. Looking at the phone. Trying to find some thing on the floor of the car. Or once, masturbating to a Penthouse magazine while driving. The second biggest problem is is intoxication. Drugs and/or alcohol. Those two things account for probably 80% of the cases that I have handled, or more. The rest are either mechanical failure or obscured traffic control devices. Driving fast is seldom the major problem. And I wish that the United States would adopt the German model where we have dedicated high-speed lanes on the road. Because there’s no need to make people drive slow in mixed traffic. But you can only drive as fast as the slowest vehicle in your lane. And that’s usually some idiot going 10 mph under the speed limit.

I can relate to that. If I'm watching a movie that shows a driver chatting with the person in the passenger seat, and looking away from the road for more than a couple of seconds, I reach for the remote controller. I know it's staged, but I still find it disturbing.

And her sponge baths were wonderful. But while she got me hard and fondled me, with a wink, she never masturbated me to orgasm. I had to do that myself, after she left the room. Always worried my heart monitor was going to set off a code blue.

I agree. I came home from the dental office and thought, "wow, I f'n love these people."
Pornhubby mentioned 'online family', I couldn't agree more. The thing about family is there is a lot of love, and on occasion a spat - sometimes minor, sometimes a bit more than minor. I'm looking at Wildcat here. We had a difference of opinion in January, but today he had my -and the boards - back. Thank you WC. This was a 'made my day' moment. :) Family can put things in the past and support each other.
I know not everybody agrees with the rules, but I love that everybody stood together today in support of the enforcement of the rules. When a decision is made, major or minor, it is not done lightly. I know there may be some backlash. There have been a few things going on lately that have been weighing on me regarding the board.
There have been times I've felt a little overwhelmed with KB, especially during the month of December when I sort of disappeared and, unbeknownst to everyone, considered deleting my account. I was going through some things and was ready to walk away from KB. Only a couple of people know this but Dan and I actually broke up, from Thanksgiving through New Years. What a great time to be alone, right? Didn't see or talk to each other for 5 weeks. I won't go into details, but when I finally did log in to KB and told those few people, the support I felt was amazing. I haven't had that in years since I lost my big sister 7 years ago. Like 'hey it's not just me', I had my online family. Today I felt that again, like I had a bunch of big brothers and big sisters, and it swelled my heart. Thank you.
And a bit more on that incident earlier today, Lujan took issue with Pornhubby saying, "You are not a moderator." He's right, Pornhubby is not a moderator. But he was. He was actually the one to recommend me to Lois when a moderator was needed in the summer of 2016. Due to real life situations he stepped down later that year. Lois brought him back on as a moderator a couple of years ago. Pornhubby for his own reasons, stepped down again recently. While he does not have the official title of 'moderator', he still helps me immensely in the running of this board. He reports issues, he monitors stories, he educates people on the rules, and much more. I can't thank him enough for all he does. In my eyes he's a moderator without the actual title. Or maybe he could be consider assistant-to-the-moderator. 'Oh assistant, could you come into my office, some dictation is required'.
Army and Obi are also mods and I can't thank them enough either, or all the other mods, not just during my time here, but over the many years. They all played a part in shaping KB into what it is. It isn't always easy, most of the time it's great, other times it really sucks. But having the members all assisting in making our community what it is, makes it worth it.
That's all, and sorry if this post is all over the place. Bottom line in case I didn't say it enough THANK YOU!

That the posting of <UA stories or images on KB puts this board at risk is a fact.The rule about such posts is a no-brainer.
In my few months here on KB, I've been impressed time and again with the civility and tolerance extended by moderators to users pushing the envelope of what can and can't be done.
You and the other moderators, past and present, are doing a magnificent job keeping this board on an even keel. You have my respect and gratitude.

I decided to chill by listening to Lesley Duncan’s Moon Bathing and pulled the booklet from the CD jewel case to check the recording dates (1974-75). Imagine my surprise when this photo of Lesley fell out.

A nice touch, but also something of a puzzle, as the CD was remastered and pressed in Japan in 2016 by company called Céleste.

TIL. Lesley Cox (née Duncan; 12 August 1943 – 12 March 2010) was an English singer-songwriter, best known for her work during the 1970s. She received much airplay on British radio stations such as BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2, but never achieved great commercial success, in part because of her unwillingness to chase stardom, as well as crippling stage fright.

Thanks for that, PH. I didn't know that her married name was Cox, and it explains a great deal. Both the Céleste re-issue of Moon Bathing and the Cherry Red Lesley Step Lightly: The GM Recordings Plus 1974-1982 compilation (which I've ordered and should come today) list "Licensed from Tony Cox" in the credits. My guess is that the photo I found was one he'd taken of her and then sent to Céleste for inclusion as a bonus.

I know not everybody agrees with the rules, but I love that everybody stood together today in support of the enforcement of the rules. When a decision is made, major or minor, it is not done lightly. I know there may be some backlash.
That the posting of <UA stories or images on KB puts this board at risk is a fact.The rule about such posts is a no-brainer.
In my few months here on KB, I've been impressed time and again with the civility and tolerance extended by moderators to users pushing the envelope of what can and can't be done.
You and the other moderators, past and present, are doing a magnificent job keeping this board on an even keel. You have my respect and gratitude.
Flattery will get you everywhere. ;D ;D In today's world, it is not easy moderating adult sites.

Neighbors got home from a week in Arizona. They reported big crowds. They left early one morning to drive to a hiking trail. When they got there the parking lot was already full!
They brought the dogs over this afternoon so wife got her puppy dog fix. Oh yeah...they had a sauna delivered. Told them I had my towel ready. :D
Nice having them home. They're a big help to us

WOW! What a great day yesterday. A friend of ours offered to take us touristing to Todos Santos, El Pescadero and Playa Cerritos on the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula. He (I call him my wife's boyfriend) picked us up at about 9:30 and we headed out of town immediately. Took us about an hour to get to Todos Santos. Big difference in vibe between La Paz and TS. While La Paz is a city of about 250,000 (60% of which are government employees), Todos Santos has about 6500 persons and is for the most part a tourist town. Being that we have transitioned into the off season, the town was not busy and everything was extremely relaxed. Lots of old world architecture unlike La Paz which is more contemporary. After walking around, having a coffee and taking a photo of Hotel California (not in any way associated with the song by Eagles) we headed out of town. Did a drive through of El Pescadero before heading to Playa los Cerritos. I needed a bathroom break so we headed to a local drinking establishment that has a roof top terrace. The view of the beach was awesome. This is one of the best surf beaches in Mexico and arguably on the entire Pacific coast. Took in the view while slowly enjoying a margarita then it was back to El Pescadero. We drove to the restaurant we were going to have lunch at to be slightly disappointed that it was not opening until 3 PM (it was 2:20 when we arrived) so we walked a mile or so down to the beach. Playa San Perdito is almost as long as Cerritos but because it's not in a sheltered bay, the wave action was a little more violent. San Perdito is also a beach that sea turtles of some species come up to lay their eggs. Got back to the restaurant a little bit after 3 and had an extremely tasty lunch. This restaurant is so farm to table fresh that they grow their own vegetables and herbs.
After eating we headed back. This portion of the trip involved a very quick stop to take a photo of the Tropic of Cancer marker along the highway just south of Todos Santos. Got home just before 7 PM. Absolutely tired out and absolutely happy with the day.

We went to a wedding shower. My first in a long time. The oldest (M) and me, and her mother (yes, Dan's ex). Longtime friends of theirs and still friends with Dan, and also her after their divorce. I've been together with them multiple times.
I had a really nice time. M was my interpreter as she is with no Dan around. One of the women at the table we were at could understand me almost immediately. Loved that. I was impressed, it happens so infrequently. She ended up switching seats with the person next to me and we chatted most of the shower.
The bride to be is on a weight loss kick. 80 lbs in a year. Night and day difference. She is doing fabulous.
Food was fabulous. Games were fun. Fun day all around. And I used to hate wedding/baby showers.

A long overdue eye appointment. The exam was done by a Dr. Molar.
I couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "Shouldn't you have been a dentist instead of an optometrist?"
She smiled and said, "Probably not. My first name is Candy."
When I went next door to the optical center to order new contacts (the old-fashioned, non-disposable kind) the clerk there looked at the prescription and said there was a measurement that had been 43 the last time and was now 47 and she wondered if there had been a mistake.
Sure enough a call to the office revealed a typo. What was supposed to be 42.75 was typed as 47.25, with the 2 and 7 transposed. She got off the phone and did a little happy dance that she had saved me two weeks for not having to reorder later. It was adorable. I gave her a high five.
She even let me use my wife's credit card to pay, since mine had been cancelled the day before when I found 3 fraudulent charges on it, but that's a story for another thread.

I learned over the weekend that one of my Ukrainian families were being evicted from their home. It was sold to a refugee family from Kyiv, and they were cast out on the street. Six children, mother, and invalid grandmother.
What made my day is I did an online appeal for donations for the family, and quickly raised several thousand dollars. We found a house that has been empty for a long time, and is in serious need of repair. But there were contractors on the property this morning, restoring water service to the house.
This will be the first time the family has had running water. And it also will be the first time that my foster daughter has had a bedroom. Six children had been sleeping on two couches, stacked like cord wood. I think this will end up being a positive development for them. Feeling good.

My day continues to be made, due to the generosity and compassion of my friends and associates.
Donations came in so quickly that we had plumbers on site today, laying a new water line, and hooking up to the “new” house. This family has never had running water or indoor plumbing. They heated water from a well on their wood burning stove and bathed in a tin wash basin. Of course, an outdoor privy, no matter the weather.
We are starting on roof, wall and floor repairs tomorrow. I have even had inquiries about buying them a new kitchen. It’s a good day.

What made our day down here in La Paz --- effective tomorrow, the Covid traffic light system and masking in crowded outdoor spaces is being cancelled. Not that we have been wearing a mask outdoors anyways (last night's 487 anniversary of the founding of La Paz being an exception - very crowded). That fact that we leave here 5 days from tomorrow makes it kinda anti-climactic. But still, it's wonderful to know that Mexico is easing towards Covid being endemic and not going away.

Past two weeks I've been taking 20 mg clonazepam to help with my anxiety. Twice my prescribed dosage, and it really didn't seem to do much but make me very tired and made it hard for me to focus and I felt even more uncoordinated than usual. They also boost the "better off dead" thoughts which obviously doesn't help at all either. I know I've said it before, but why do drugs designed to help with anxiety make you think about suicide so friggin much... seems mighty counter productive.
Anyways. So far today I don't feel I need it. Granted the day just started but things have been going decent so far. Maybe, just maybe I'm through this thing.

The Kentucky Derby.
Dan has a betting app on his phone. We all make a $2 bet. Our youngest picked #21, RICH STRIKE. It was an 80-1 long shot. It won. $160. Dan said he wasn't going to place the bet and bet on a different horse.
If you haven't watched the race, watch it. The horse was in 15th place at one time. He was so fast in the last 1/4 mile, the drone view shows RICH STRIKE passing horses like they're standing still.
The horse wasn't even supposed to be in the race. Another horse backed out on Friday and it opened up the spot.
The Mint Juleps were very good too.

Most Friday nights since we have been in La Paz, we go out to a local restaurant/bar to sit at the bar, chat with who ever is there and listen to a gentleman play his guitar and sing (he does this for tips and maybe he gets free beer). This past Friday was the last one that we will be here for until we return in the fall. Several friends showed up to wish us safe travels. One of them promised to buy our drinks all night. Well, he forgot until I had paid for our drinks so he insisted that he do something for us. So I told him we would meet him there on Saturday evening. True to promise, he paid for our drinks. When we left the bar, my wife was teary eyed. The friends we have met here are second to none. A diverse group of people who like us for us. No expectations other than good company and fun times.
We are already making plans to return in the fall, hopefully with residency permits in hand.

The middle one is home from college. She moved back on Wednesday. Dan asked what I wanted to do for Mother's Day. I figured the girls would be at their moms, so I said I wanted to go to Cedar Point in Ohio if the weather is nice. Cedar Point is an amusement park, similar to Six Flags.
Well, the weather was nice. A little cool, but sunny. Backtrack two days. When we told the two oldest what we were doing, they said they wanted to go. I said, "It's Mother's Day, you need to spend it with your mom." The seemed bummed about it. And the next thing I said RUINED DAN'S DAY. "If you want, your mom can come with us."
So, this morning we left our house and picked up the girls and their mom and drove to Ohio and had the funnest day riding the rides. And the ex and I get along great. While Dan and the three girls went on a ride together, the Ex and I sat one out. And we talked. She can understand me pretty good. We had an hour to ourselves while the other 4 were riding and we went for a walk and just chatted. And she loves my little one. Those two had each other laughing all day.
On the way home, I suggested a place that makes the best frozen yogurt and we stopped there. It is so good. Great day with the family.

So glad you had an amazing day MJ. I know somebody who lives near cedar point, or did years ago. Knew them from when I was in the Army. I went to visit many years ago and we were going to go but was completely rained out the whole time I was there. We could see the rides from her living room window which rubbed salt on the wound. Still had a great time visiting her though.
I usually visit my dad on mother's day, but he had been invited out with his new girlfriend and her two sons. I know them, and they are very nice people. Both have great jobs and extremely easy to get along with. I was so happy that dad had ben invited out and things are going great for him and her.
I was going to spend the day with Jen and we got a hold of Aunt Amy, and asked if she wouldn't mind our company. She was very happy to have us over and we sat around drinking and playing yahtzee of all things. I'm terrible at it and came in last evey single game. Still had an absolute blast.

I went to my dad's last night for dinner,, and when I walk into the house, he was cooking and singing... I stopped dead at the door as I have never heard him sing before in my life other than an exaggerated, bellowing rendition of happy birthday. I stood there shocked as he did his best to sing along with the radio blasting out Dereck and the Dominos Layla me being me, I of course joined in, he was embarrassed at first, but then as I kept singing he joined back in. By the end we were both laughing so hard we just stopped trying.
Told him if he ever wants to go out to karaoke some night I'll do a duet with him. Well do it during closing time and help.clear the bar🤣
Neither of us can sing worth a damn, but was so much fun

Glad to see that you are enjoying the weather. Here the temperature stubbornly stays just below 70 and we still have cold nights.
Anyway. I have just enjoyed a great breakfast with my girls. It was the end of a crazy morning.
At around 3 am Phia, my youngest (18½), woke me up. She said nothing, but just held my hand. I looked up and saw her tears. “You want to talk about it?” I whispered.
She Shook her head. “No thanks. Can we just snuggle?”
I padded the bed and in, she went. At some time, I must have turned. I was spooning her, and she was still holding my hand, using my arm as a pillow.
A couple of hours later I was woken again by someone spooning me, trying to grab my shaft. I only just managed to think: “Oh! Shit” before the yelling started. I had forgotten all about a lady friend sleeping over. I don't remember all she was screaming, except the end where she asked if I expected her to stand for this.
Still holding my hand over Phia’s ear, I answered, “No! I expect you to get the hell out of here.”
Well, she grabbed her stuff and left, still shouting. Semi dressed, she almost knocked over a slightly tipsy, homecoming Bell on her way out the front door
Bell looked into my bedroom with a “WTF…….. Oh.” seeing Phia
“That looks cozy.” She continued, while shredding her clothes. “Can I?”
“Sure,” I answered and carefully turned onto my back.
Half an hour later, I woke up again. Alice was back, trying to sneak in for her forgotten phone.
Her facial expression, when she saw my two beauties using my chest as a pillow, was priceless, but at least she left quietly.

Just received my second COVID-19 booster shot. I'd feel extra protected but... We were visiting with friends Sunday and the wife mentioned that a friend of hers got a second booster and next day came down with Covid.
Guess I won't be ditching the mask anytime soon.

Hi msslave
In my country we have no masks, no restrictions. Everything is normal.
Right now we have about 425 people hospitalized with Covid (Not because of Covid) of them 13 in intensive care.
Ok. We are Vikings but the secret is the vaccine 83% of the population has got three vaccines.
The vaccine decreases the risk of getting Covid, but it doesn't prevent it. However, with the vaccine, your chance of getting seriously ill is drastically reduced.
So get every booster, you are offered. :D
Don't know if this info helps you, but at least it is facts. Use what you can at your own discretion.
I wish you and your wife all the best.
I'm so happy we don't have Fox News to kill our loved ones.

One million Americans gone from their loved ones due to COVID-19. The lose of those loved one will be with them for the rest of their lives.
I'm at the VA today for another round of chemo. On the elevator, was another guy with a small roll on case. I asked if he was here for work and he said no. Has dialysis. Covid killed his kidneys.
This is still a serious disease.

Masks and eye coverings are required at work, and none of my coworkers have any issue with it whatsoever. We are all vaccinated and I have my first booster coming up tomorrow actually.
That being said, I no longer where a mask when I go anywhere else. I still maintain some social distancing from people when I'm out and about, but I no longer wear masks. I have four in my car, and if it is particularly busy in the store or whatever I'll bring it in, and decide once inside if I should wear it or not, but majority of the time I wont.
Even though I am immunocompromised and such, I don't fear covid like I once did. I fear giving it to somebody more than getting it.

Here let me list them:
Food thief guy got transferred. He now works in the second level of hell, just above HR. Accounts. He will not be missed. Office pool is now at 500 dollars that he quits on Monday.
Wife's cousins are back at their house, and will be going to an all girls school elsewhere.
Oldest Daughter paid me back all the money I loaned her. I think she might be alright.
Son actually moved all of his crap out of the garage, before going to school. The new problem is that he put it all in the shed, and I need to get in there to work on my riding lawn mower.
Youngest daughter won a debate thing. That girl will rule the world one day.

There are tons of grape sodas out there, but only one Grapico. My love started as a boy, when my dad would give me a couple of dollars to walk to the gas station down the block and across the busy street. They sold the good stuff, like little plastic fruit things filled with something like a pixie stick sugar, flavored with what the fruit shape was. Candy cigarettes, and the holy grail of sodas. Grapico. but I could not afford the 20 oz bottle, but they sold little bottles of it for a quarter. after working in the yard with my parents and siblings, nothing beats a hard and hot day of work, than sitting in the shade with a grapico and a candy cigarette.

I've done them online occasionally but like msslave said, my fingers and the keyboard are often at odds. Besides that, the computer is inside and I have my morning coffee outside at the picnic table because of a self-imposed ban on smoking inside.
I can't even imagine trying to do a crossword on a phone screen or even my 10-inch tablet. Moving the cards in solitaire is hard enough.

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.
So, I figured if he was going to bring a good bottle, I should als. I took a bottle of Elmer T Lee that I got a year ago and had recently opened it. It's very hard to find.
Well, he shows up with....a bottle of Elmer T Lee.
I told him not to open his a save it for a special occasion. We drank my bottle.
We had fun at game night. Family Fued and another game called Chameleon.

My local package store was out of my Evan Williams, so I bought Jim Beam. Which made me wonder, who is higher on the bourbon pecking order? EW or JB? The main differences between Jim Beam vs Evan Williams are: Jim Beam has 40% alcohol by volume, whereas Evan Williams has 43%. Jim Beam is being aged for 4 years, whereas Evan Williams is being aged 5-7 years depending on the particular selection.
I drink about 1.75 L of bourbon per week. That’s roughly 8 ounces per day. 5 jiggers. Two generous doubles.
Not sure if I should be worried, but I’ve done it so long, nothing has fallen off yet. LOL. Nice thing about living alone now is, no one gives me shit about anything.

I enjoyed a nice outing yesterday watching several Bison being released on an area that's being restored as a natural prairie. The Bison are brought in each year for the summer to help with the prairie restoration. Their hooves help loosen the soil, shaggy coat picks up seeds from one plant and carry them to other areas to reseed. And there's the natural fertilizer.
I got there early as there was a 5K race on the prairie. Hoped maybe I could wander out there too. Stopped a young lady that had an ID tag for the organization that is restoring the prairie. She offered to take me out. We chatted about the progress of the project and other small talk. I asked her what she did in the organization and found she's the executive director! Nothing like grabbing the top dog for a little walk and talk. :D
Finally the Bison arrived in two livestock trailers. My plan was to use my camera for the unloading of the first trailer. For the second I wanted to take a video of all the Bison coming off. They come out at full speed so it goes fast.
I got good photos of the first bunch. My video...not so much. Must have missed the start button. :facepalm: There's always next year.
Tomorrow I'll have a few photos here. Wish I could show you the huge crowd but alas...full of kids. But the little ones were having fun.

Good news is the house in Ukraine is almost finished. It’s gone from a bombed out crack den, to a very cute Ukrainian cottage. My girls will have their own bedrooms, for the first time in their lives. I’ve spent about 3 weeks and $3000 on the project. But it feels so good to see everything I hoped for come to completion. I can’t wait to see this war end, so I can go visit it first hand.

Even this morning there was a little more rain coming down, but now that it has stopped, I opened my windows, and my apartment was flooded with the smell of lilacs. I've been waiting days since I first started seeing the blossoms, and now they are in full bloom. Going to enjoy it as much as possible in the short time they are around.

If you down swipe the corner of your phone, there is a QR code button. If you press that, it will open your camera and scan the code. My 20-year-old taught me how to do that. Almost every restaurant we go to now has that QR code on the table, in lieu of a menu. And honestly, is probably a very good development, because menus always have always been a source of bio hazards.

Well, Mrs JBRG went out and got herself a job on the other side of the city that will require her to drive to work. That means I either stick around the house and go for short walks when I get tired of looking at the walls OR ...
I retrieved my motorcycle today and will be riding for a longer period of time than originally anticipated. Original plan was the sell it as soon as was possible. But, I need to be able to get around so I ride for a bit.

What made my day today? Despite internal office politicks, HR bullshit, and everyone losing their minds, THE best part of my work day was/still is Staci.
We were talking in private, and it was one of the best private chats I have had, that was not with the wife. Pretty epic.

Had breakfast with my dad this morning. He loves that I'm off during the week like this so we can go out to eat in the morning when it isn't so packed. Usually just a bunch of retirees.
We started talking and I swear he was waiting for me to take a sip of coffee before he told me he's "been getting some on the regular"
Naturally I spit my coffee out at his announcement. Not only did I not need to here that, but I don't think a diner is the place to discuss his sexual adventures. So I just responded that I'm happy that his relationship with his girlfriend is going so well. I made sure to keep it in a much more socially appropriate tone. He would tell me about how much time they've spent together, and the he'd make a suggestive statement, and the stop, smile, and say "Oh, you dont wanna her about that." And then giggle like a school boy.
After we were done eating and he had gotten the bill, and was digging through his wallet, stopped, looked at me and said, "she's an animal."
"Holy shit dad" I got up walked out and waited by his truck until he came stumbling out laughing his butt off.
I am really happy that he found a good woman for once, but I dont need to know what she's good at.

The weather. Rained last night. I washed my car this morning. Gets me up and moving and I love being outside in the morning. Went for a short run I did some gardening, which was a little muddy. Got in the pool. We have $5 movies at the movie theatre so we're going there later when M gets off work. Jurassic Park or Dr Strange. I don't care about either, just want some popcorn and to shut my mind off for a couple of hours.

True, Telling him of one of your and Mr. Allan’s exploits might not be a good idea, as maybe I’m too Paper Towns, but it might end up with your dad chasing Mr. Allan.😅😐 Maybe your sister might do it (tell a story) on your behalf ? 🤔

Sorry, as I said, Too Paper Towns, A novel I read some years ago. In one chapter, when a dad Mr. Arrington learns that a guy is shaking the bed with his daughter, Becca, he chases the, naked, guy with a bat. (Actually, he caught Becca and the guy, mid-act, in the middle of the night, in his own basement.)

I'm posting new chapters and writing new chapters!
But what made my day today and every day is my infinitely horny new girlfriend. She was getting ready to leave this morning when I rushed out of the bedroom with a hard-on and a plea. She immediately sucked me so I was even harder (and a little lubricated with spit to help get in). Then we adjourned to the bedroom where she dropped her scrubs and panties to her knees and got on the edge of the bed on all fours. It was a tight fit as usual, but she had plenty of her delicious and delightful natural lube, so I got fully in within a few strokes. She started cumming almost right away. I plowed her for a good half an hour. It takes me longer to cum these days! She doesn't seem to mind. She has understanding coworkers, too (of her being half an hour late).
My horny new girlfriend approves the accuracy of this message.

It would be hilarious if someone made a claim against Kinsey for violation of civil and privacy rights. I read that he was on a warpath against smut. Dunno how true that is, but it would be funny if someone raised those questions.

Well the statute of limitations is typically two years, and the Kinsey report was 69 years ago, so he’s probably safe.

Big cookout today at dad's. Had the meatballs 9n the slow cooker all night. Last year he asked if I could do something with venison, so I bought a venison tenderloin, and fresh cut bacon. Ground it all up and made a separate batch just for him. Had to borrow a crock pot from the neighbors so I could have them both going last night.
Had to male a.double batch because with gas prices most of the family wasn't traveling and everybody is going to be there. Going to basically be a family reunion. Should be a lot of fun though.

Daughter called this afternoon. She'd been practicing riding her new Honda 300 motorcycle. Hubby was along side on his bike.
Found out there's something called the Guardian Bell...a small bell to attach to your first motorcycle "for protection". It has to be given to you by someone else. Can't buy your own.
So the dealer opened up after hours for daughter and hubby. Bike was already picked out. Just had to write the check. Meanwhile a guy came in for some oil and filter. When he found out daughter was picking up her first motorcycle he said, "You gotta have a lady rider guardian bell and said has to be given to you... can't buy your own.
He proceeded to get her a bell that is now attached to the new "toy". I'm so happy that a stranger was so kind to help a new bike owner get some "protection ". I know it's just superstition, but it's the thought that counts. Superstitions are kinda silly, right. Knock on wood. :emot_laughing:

That’s a TIL about the guardian bell. Might explain why I pulled a wheelie and almost killed myself on my first bike. LOL.
Sweet story. Sweeter still that your daughter called you on Father’s Day.
What made my day was hearing from all of my kids, two boys, three girls. Kept me on the phone for several hours. My Eagle Scout was in Giverny, France at Claude Monet’s house. It’s where he did all his water lily paintings. The pond is still there and maintained as it was in his time.

Dad LOVED his venison bacon meatballs. He didnt share them with anybody, but I had two of them for taste testing. Think i overdid the bacon as there was a lot of bacon grease even after pan searing and baking them, but as long as he is happy with them I'm happy.
It was an enormous get together and dad's girlfriend (and I kid you not, her name is Julie) was there. Her sons were obviously spending time with their own dad, but it was great having her there. I was sitting nearby and I looked over at my dad who was staring at her while she spoke with my Aunt Amy. He had those eyes of adoration and I could almost feel how much he had fallen for her, and when she looked back at him, they share the most beautiful smile and it nearly brought tears to my eyes. I love him so much and he deserves this.
Oh, and he did not disappoint on the dad jokes either. My niece has been taking cooking classes for summer vacation the last two years, and they had a dip making contest, and my dad was surprised that she didn't win. I shook my head and said "dont say it dad, just dont say it."
Of course, "you're the best dip I know"
I loved so hard, not just because of bad joke, but his delivery was on point. He looked right at me with big wide eyes and the biggest grin. Like true excitment on his face to tell his joke.
The other one wasnt as good though, said he went to a concert that only cost him 45 cents. It stared fifty cent featuring Nickelback :facepalm: he claimed he got it from a friend, but I think he asked google nest.
Oh, and to end my day on a even higher note, i went by Allan's after the party, and had a good and proper f@#$

Actully that's my brother. Hes been on the fence about her for a while. He has this notion it's about the money. My dad and Julie have known each other for so many years, and they have finally gotten together, and Jason thinks it has to do with the inheritance my dad got a couple years ago.

Also, today I was approved for promotion at work. Now I am a manager of the floor, as the previous manager was let go due to certain inappropriate behaviors at work. No one else was in line so the bosses secretary came in, handed me a paper and promptly left. I get to keep my office too. AND I get a door plate with my name on it and Manager on it. That and Grapico are my favorite things. Feels good man, now no one on the floor can order me around, only have to take orders from above. Shit is about to get real.

If I could, I would send a flock of interns to cover the entire office for you, those little monkeys know their shit.

No golden bathroom, but one that is a step nicer than one at a four star restaurant. Kind of sucks, I was expecting a starbucks in there. But no, its just a quieter shitter.

If it was legal, I would make them gladiator fight, or pull a pirate skit, the one from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. But alas, all I can get them to do is their work. But interns are open game, little monkeys, fighting for their grades, or a full time position. But I am a benevolent god, and I had the one intern in the group who was making the rest look bad by slacking off, bringing down their productivity transferred to Receiving. Now there is peace in the lands again.

No one else was in line so the bosses secretary came in, handed me a paper and promptly left. I get to keep my office too. AND I get a door plate with my name on it and Manager on it. That and Grapico are my favorite things. Feels good man, now no one on the floor can order me around, only have to take orders from above. Shit is about to get real. No more fucking in the supply closet, unless you consent to being filmed, and I want my coffee Venti sized. Power feels nice.
Also I was not joking about the fucking in the supply closet. I got the security monitor now. They better clean up afterwards or there will be hell to pay.
Time to abuse power and have some fun with the female interns? :D

I'll post it here since I dare not venture past Hell's threshold called "Room 1408"...
Apparently the abortion debate in the US stirred things up here in Belgium. Two out of our current government's five ruling parties (*): central right and central left have joined hands in trying to get the right to abortion embedded in the constitution. At the moment it's - a fairly complex, but quite workable - law. There's a long way to go, but it's a start.

What kind of relocation did you have in mind? Temporary or permanent? With-job or without-job?
I'm thinking that knowledge of the language and familiarity with the culture are the big hurdles to clear.

I am multilingual with family in UK, France, and Latvia. I have 3 foster children in Ukraine. I just don’t want to leave one neo-fascist state and find myself in another. My top three picks are Spain, France, and Italy. But all have a troublesome past, and uncertain present. So just thinking out loud here.

Politics are a hornet's nest in Europe too. I assume that's the nature of the beast. I'd like to think the Scandinavian countries are still your safest bet in terms of strong democracies, strong welfare states, that also treasure individual freedom. I'd also recommend Luxembourg. Too big to be considered a micro state, too small to be considered anything else. Solid democratic welfare state. Well, they're pretty rich, so they can afford it. Beautiful country too. Though I never actually stayed there, Switzerland is probably a good bet too. Cosmopolitan, solid welfare state, and they have one of the most democratic direct citizen participation systems in the world.

If you have children, then the education system has to be a priority. And if you're retired, or close to retirement, then guessing future exchange rates becomes a headache — I mean calculating how far your pension will go in another country.

I know the joys of doing the currency rate conversion having spent the winter in Mexico. I use simple conversion web sites to get a general idea of what X number of pesos equates to in Canadian dollars. It's never really bang on because the sites use the current bank rate as opposed to the consumer rate.
FWIW, in Mexico things are less expensive than they are in Canada unless the item is imported. Electronics (TVs, cell phones, computers, etc) tend to be more expensive in Mexico due to the duties and taxes that get applied to imported items.
And, we are going back in the fall, hopefully with residency.

Explaining to my Asian cashier that EW is *not* made in Ohio. It is on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. Because only whisky made in Kentucky is allowed to be labeled bourbon. Schooling the liquor store cashier on Bourbons, Canadians, Irish, Scotch, Rye… “I thought they were just different flavors..”

A friend whose job was promoting Scottish exports once gave a short presentation on Scotch whisky. I was there but didn't take notes, so all I remember is something about the geology of Scottish rocks, and adding a drop or two of water to release the aroma (or was it flavor?). I think you’re supposed to add the water after you've sipped the whisky neat.

One of my fraternity brothers (well into his 60’s now) has made a career of giving Scotch seminars and conducting tours of Scottish distilleries. Living the dream! I have enjoyed the former. The latter is on my bucket list. I am Scot.

Adding drops of water opens up the taste of the whisky/whiskey/scotch.
Scotch just be distilled in Scotland, it is similar to other whiskey but with malted barley.
I'm not a huge fan of scotch because most that I've tasted had a very peaty taste.
I Did have my fair share when we visited a few distilleries during our visit to Scotland in 2018

You said not to criticize a man’s beer, so I’m not going criticize a man’s $300 Scotch. But I don’t think a blended mass produced Scotch can hold a candle to a traditional single malt casked Scotch, like Laphroaig. I used to drink gin in the summer and Scotch in the winter. But lately I’ve been drinking bourbon year round. Preferably at an RV campground in Arkansas, with a view.

My father was a very handy man and when he wasn't working his regular job as an auto company executive. He would offer his services free to the elderly around our neighborhood. He enlisted others to help and it grew to be a service offered by the city. The city would take calls from elderly people, then they would call my father who would call members of his volunteer group. I would go with him. Sometimes two of the men would meet up together. My dad wasn't very knowledgeable with plumbing and whenever he delegated the one plumbers for a job (Mr. Jim), my daddy would tag along, so that he could learn from him. The man was so sweet and always had those sugary minty red and white breath mint balls (what I call them) and would give me one when we first arrived, and one when we departed the job. This was about 35 years ago.
Today on a morning walk, I bumped into Mr. Jim who was sitting in his garage enjoying a cup of coffee. At first I just smiled and waved as I walked by, then I recognized him. I think I scared him at first as I was gesturing for a pen and paper so we could communicate. But when I wrote down who I was, he remembered me. I told Mr. Jim about daddy's passing, and he spoke so nicely of him. Mr. Jim was the sweetest man. AND, just as I was getting ready to leave he held up a finger and said, "You stay right there, young lady," he went in the house and came back out with one of those mints. The smile I had when he held it out to me. I was ready to cry. What a sweet sweet man.
I'm going on a walk with Dan in the next couple of days so Mr. Jim and I can communicate a little easier.
This was more of a made my month moment. I was just so happy for some reason.

No Worries, you have access to what you have, but I can't find anything around here better for the life of me. I just like Johnnie Walker, because it was the first drink me and my dad sat down and drank after I got fired from a job I needed, and got hired two days later to where I am now. I know next to nothing about good top shelf liquor, So I wont even pretend. My dad comforted me with that, while I bawled my eyes out on his front porch. Cause I had two kids, and being fired was like a laser guided blow to the boys below.

My grandfather used to drink Chivas Regal, and although I never had an opportunity to enjoy one with him, I still feel he is with me in “spirit” when I do.
Given the choice of buying one bottle of Blue Label or ten bottles of Chivas, I would probably buy the Chivas. Or five Laphroaigs.

Maybe it should be in TIL - but never realised you could pay as much as $300 for a bottle of blended scotch; never touch the stuff myself as always prefer a single malt. This might help MJ choose her whisky on her next trip to Scotland https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/feature/whiskybyflavour.

I kind of want a pin stripe suit. but still not many opportunities to wear one. The best I dress currently is a business suit for work.

A weekend visit with my daughter and granddaughter from out of state. They were only able to come for two days, but we made the most of it.
The trip was twice postponed, once because of covid and once because of wildfires, so it's been almost four years since I last saw them. Even better news, my granddaughter is going to college near us after she graduates from high school a year from now.
I'm so thankful my family is all on good terms after reading how some of my friends here have struggled with family relationships (and especially after reading Dear Abby every day). I am truly blessed.

Nothing extreme is good. Unlike my transmission failing in Helena Montana on our way back to Canada. On the bright side, that wasn't on the side of the road (hotel parking lot).
Glad Jules made it home in one piece.

What made my day today?
Sweet fucking revenge.
I know a small group on the floor I work on, who were plotting against me, because I was picked to climb the next step up the ladder, while they, or at least someone they can bullshit didn't. For a couple of weeks, I was not getting anything from them, as they decided to take their work to my direct supervisor. She in turn started to lose her shit, and then called me into her office today.
DS: Why in the bloody fuck are they coming to me with their work instead of you?
Me: Dont know, I have been waiting for their work so the next presentation can be completed.
DS: Here, take this shit off my desk, I have enough to do than hand hold some pissants through their work.
Me: Yes Ma'am.
DS: You think this is going to be a problem? Take it to HR, I have 0 fucks, or 0 seconds of time to deal with kindergarten bullshit. Don't let this slow us down.
Me: Yes Ma'am
My DS is a true, dyed in the wool ballbuster. She had to fight to get to where she is, and takes no bullshit. But shes not evil. She knows whats up.
Me: So I can handle this in a way that keeps us out of trouble with up top?
DS: Fuck, I don't care if you arena fight them asses, just get your job done.
Me: Yes Ma'am.
So I took two weeks of work back to my office. If you plan on throwing someone under the bus, don't outline it in work that the person you are trying to fuck over has to look over and edit. They tried to fudge some figures, in a way that looks like I was skimming off the top, and putting it into the floor. Nope, not happening. So I leave their work completely alone. Unedited, except some nifty footnotes to upper management. Especially pointing out that I have no control of where what money goes where, and I certainly do not deal with the budget for the floor. All I do is look over reports and fix them. So Upper comes down from Olympus, with some very concerned clients. By law we have to give clients a budget receipt for where their money is going, especially if what they bought has sat long enough to warrant a full servicing before shipping. The stuff they bought needed work BADLY. So while those asshats sat smirking, thinking I am on the hook, my DS looks over my work. "You for real on this?" She said to them. I was told to leave. I swore I seen horror movie blood sprays all over the meeting room. Lets just kindly remember the 4 souls who WERE in charge of money, and where it goes, and to what it goes, trying to oust me from a job I barely wanted, until the pay raise. I drank good when I got home.

I was really bothered by it. Because I am not a dick to anyone on the floor. Just another suit doing his job for his paycheck, which taxes and life likes to Al Bundy me to death, eat, fuck my wife and rinse and repeat until I am 62, and if I make it to 62 I can retire with a little over 3k in monthly retirement pay. Sadly though, I will be losing a little money by then a month, unless I keep putting in for Social Security retirement. But even then, and by then, my nest will be empty, and so will the house. I plan on fucking off to narnia when I retire. I have a phone with my kids numbers, but other than that, I want to see the rest of the world before they toss the final shovel of dirt on me.
Thanks Pornhubby. Got into work, and all four were fired. Even a hint at fraud is a no no here, and cooking the books a bigger no no. So HR is stealing me today, as Upper wants me to personally oversee hiring new people to replace them. No temps, just me sitting there with a thumb up my ass, not knowing what to look for. Can you put 2 and 2 together and get 4.567766567534? Sure? Welcome aboard. Sad thing, it is naughty lunch friday :( Wife likes to come in and roleplay my secretary, who takes an hour lunch, so I do not mind. But hell, if I help HR, they look the other way when I dip into office supplies a bit heavy, a fair deal.
PH you gotta try Loch Lomond. Especially after a victory.

So there I was, standing in an elevator with a colleague, and I say to him, "I hear you're retiring one year early. Got any plans?"
"Oh yes. First I want to go to —" and then he reeled off a list of seven or eight exotic destinations. "I so wish I'd taken the early retirement option two or three years ago. Pity I left it so late."
Me, I stuck it out to the end, for the slight increase in pension and a lovely bouquet of flowers at my farewell party. :roll:

Hilda, what is stopping you from packing a bag and fucking off to narnia too? Not to be rude or impolite, you seem like a mature, put together woman. So who says you cant exotic hotel a bit. From where I stand, you earned it, and then some. I mean my grandfather got one good deep sea fishing trip in, despite not wanting to go on the water anymore, since he retired as a tug/barge captain. Before he married again, he chartered a fishing trip to Mexico, as he made friends with other captains, and spent a week trying to catch big fish. So I think you deserve a trip somewhere where the drinks are cold, the nights warm, and the music makes you feel young again. Also a couple of innocent, cabana hunks who can only say yes, and one of those large, fishbowl sized fruity drinks. And just pine your days away, relaxing and cursing yourself for not doing it sooner.

Lack of motivation, I think. I've done a lot of travelling, visited a lot of places, lived in quite a few. Just the thought of going to an airport and getting on a plane triggers a negative response. I begin yawning and feel the onset of a headache.
I'm probably missing out on the Narnia reference. I haven't read the Chronicles and know them by name only. They're about children going off to magical lands, right?

Synchronicity again. I'm reading a bunch of short stories by L. Adams Beck, published in 1931, a breathless "Oh my gosh" travelogue of all the mysterious places she visited on her world tours. She writes:
Quote
What will be left in the world when steam and electricity have done their cruel worst and discharged the tourists in hordes as yet unknown upon its ancient kingdoms; when the lonely ruins of Angkor Wat are the scene of picnic-parties and the Wild Was of Burma targets for the daily camera; when all men and women are stamped with our image and clothed in our garments and refuse to be beautiful and surprising any more?
What Beck doesn't anticipate is the future of writers like herself. A future when anyone can visit anywhere, and post their adventures online.

Yeah thats the reference, but the saying means to just go off aimlessly when supposed to be somewhere, I.e. supposed to be at your desk, but you wander off to do something other than what you are supposed to do. The reference is about the kids in the book going into the room with the wardrobe, when not supposed to. The whole series was an allegory of the bible, or at least the later half, mixed with the horrors of ww2. Supposedly, as one of my old professors said, it was a love letter to those who refused to fight, using their religion as a basis for not fighting. The kids did not want to be swept up in Narnia's war, but were, and changed its fate for the better, but then, left it alone for the world to change again in their absence. Basically War = not god, but also Intervening = not good, because the long term effects down the road. But to boil it down, basically to go somewhere while shirking responsibilities. Thats how I use the reference. Like a guy called into HR from the third floor. He leaves his tasks to flirt with the secretaries, so the boss written him up, and in the meeting I told him to stop fucking off to narnia and do your damned job, since HR director left it to me to go potty.

We have a wedding to go to today. First time in so long. And the first with Dan and the two girls. So excited.
And Dan wanted to skip the wedding and just go to the reception. Nope nope nope., Not skipping. I love the ceremony. The bride being walked down the aisle is my favorite thing.
I'm going to be dancing all evening.

The wedding was beautiful. I only cried 4 times during the ceremony. Haha. Then during the daddy-daughter dance and mother-son dance at the reception.
My feet are still throbbing from the dancing. The DJ wasn't the best, but we still had a great time.
I wasn't in a drinking mode and only had a gin and tonic, and a captain and coke. Otherwise water. We were planning on Ubering home but my drinks were early in the evening. So I was fine to drive. And on the way home we decided to stop at a 24 hour restaurant for breakfast at 12:30. Not my decision but the other three were insistent. As we were eating, two of the groomsmen from the wedding came in and we made room for them. Then the mother of the groom and he date. And then another couple. Next thing you know we're pulling tables together and there was 12 of us. And being the sober one - OMG were they loud.. But breakfast was fantastic. Best bacon I've ever had.
A fun night celebrating a beautiful couple. But I might need foot surgery. God are they sore.

What made my day was reading your story. I’m picturing all of those drunk groomsmen eating breakfast at 12:30 in the morning. I had a vision of the movie Diner. One of my favorites.
My friends and I used to meet at a diner called Cindy’s in Dallas, after the clubs closed at two in the morning. Nothing like jamming down some bacon and eggs on a drunk stomach.
Hope you feel better. Foot massage and toe sucks available. Let me know. I’ll be in the bomb shelter.

Was down in Milwaukee the last couple days with my friends. Shannon is being really.cool and relaxed about everything, she's not letting anything bother her, but then again nothing seems to be going wrong. They've been planning this thing for so long, she's just ready to finally get it done. We had a rehearsal type dinner the other night, and then those that could went out to Dave and Buster's for some drinks and fun. Amanda is more into the games then we are, but when we're all doing it together like that it's a blast. We do the carnival game stuff sometimes and get the points to trade it but I think that is ridiculous. Spend $25 on your card to play games that last a second so you can go trade it in for 5 pieces of .$50 candy... we spent most of it in giant pacman though.
The part that I could put in what ruined my day was, James was there. He would NOT leave me alone either. Flirting and touching and acting like we were a couple. Shannon begged me to be nice, and he 2as biying me drinks, so I put up with it as the entire day was such a good time we didnt want anything to spoil it. Also, he's a very good looking guy, and I was kind of enjoying the attention, so it was easy for me to ignore some of the "accidental" touches. He's had his dick in me, so him grabbing my butt seems a bit moot.
The next day I just didnt feel like driving home, friends were off for the week, and decided to just stick around a hit longer. We went out to the zoo, did some shopping and I spent WAY too much, went out to a fondue restaurant, and then we just went back to Amanda's apartment where we just talked drank wine and had a nice relaxing evening.
Weddings this weekend so I probably wont be around here on Saturday and Sunday.

Around noon wife and I joined the cat on the front steps enjoying another nice day. After a while I looked up and saw our neighbor crossing the street and heading towards us, a small covered dish in her hands.
As she reached us, I saw two yummy looking cupcakes. Turns out yesterday was their youngest daughter's first birthday. At one there wasn't a party for the kiddo. They did make sure there were a couple for the old folks across the street. :D
They've brought us a few meals since my cancer started and wife drove me to the VA ER several weeks ago. They're big cheese lovers and if I can get myself straightened out enough to get to my favorite cheese shop in Wisconsin, I'll be picking up an assortment for them.
Have I mentioned before we have good neighbors. :emot_dancing: :emot_dancing:

My son returned from Europe early this morning. I haven’t seen him in more than two months. So we drove home in the middle of the night, had some adult beverages, and caught up on things. He’s such a good kid, and I’m so proud of him. Today it turned out his vehicle needed some attention, because it’s been sitting in the heat outside for two months. So we got him a new battery, and power steering fluid, brake fluid, window washing fluid, lots of fluids. And it’s just so nice to be under the hood with your progeny, working on the car together. Very enjoyable. It was a great day.

Slept all through the night. First time in days. Doctor increased my medication helps with nerve pain. The bone cancer in my left hip fired up last Sunday and that shoots pain all down my leg. Don't know if it was the extra Gabapentin that helped or just the exhaustion catching up to me.
This morning as I was setting up the outside chairs for breakfast al fresco, neighbor called me over. She makes her own edibles. Says they help her sleep and enjoy a pleasant Dreamland. Offered me some on the QT. Said she didn't want me to mention the offer to my wife. I passed on the edibles offer. Not what an addict needs to play with. But damn... what a great neighbors.

The wedding was beautiful and Shannon was absolutely gorgeous in her dress. She was nothing but smiles and full of excited laughter. Not a single thing went wrong that I could tell and the reception was a blast. The DJ was outstanding and the music was mostly blast from the past 80s and 90s. I had zero problems with James, he didn't even try flirting with me, so I was pretty happy about that one.
I behaved myself for the most part dispite the open bar, but I did a LOT of playful flirting with Shannon's brother. One because hes pretty cute, but mostly it's because it drives Shannon crazy. She has always been protective of him, and I used to tease marrying him. Which also lead to the best prank ever.
Amanda, the other bridesmaids and Shannon's brother Eric, all said they were going to pull a prank on me. Have him laying next to me, they would hide in the bathroom, and when I woke up, see me freak out. What Shannon didnt know, is that Amanda, Eric, and I were the ones pulling the prank, and when i "woke up" and saw him laying next to me, I said "Finally" and crawled on top of him. We started making moaning noises and Shannon came bursting into the room full of hellfire. It was completely hilarious... probably had to be there.
After all the fun of the morning Shannon and her new husband were off to Alaska for their honeymoon. Me and Amanda had a day to relax and watch movies, order room service and do nothing until 3 ok because I paid for a late checkout. Then I was on my way home.

Our block participated in the National Night Out last night. There was grilled burgers, hot dogs and other sausage. Lots of side dishes and sweet stuff.
Most important was the neighborly friendly atmosphere. As I'm not getting out as much (hot weather and tired) I'm not seeing as many on the block as I used to.
Also there's several who haven't heard about my cancer so I had the opportunity to fill in them about my condition. I received good wishes and offers of '"Anything I can do just call me", that is so welcome to hear.
A few years ago there were lots of school aged kids running around the street playing games which had to be done at full volume. :D There was a turn over as several families moved. The new families have babies and toddlers. It will be fun to see them grow.
A new couple who just moved in have a school aged daughter and a toddler with a baby on the way. Dad is a pro basketball player. He was in some summer NBA league and several teams in Europe. Told me he's played in over 50 countries!
It was in the 90s last night but our street is shady and there was a breeze. Wife was sensible and went in early. I promised to follow soon. You can guess how that went. I kept socializing and eating. Overdid it a tad. I'm a bit tired but leg isn't bothering me any more than usual.
Anyone else have a neighborhood party? It's been a National event for many years now.

Mimi came to work like a boss. The momma bear secretaries left work with her for an hour, for a breakfast. She came back all dolled up better, and with a full belly. Now she is one of them, and they are highly cliquish. She walks in with them, and that kill bill song plays. She sits at her desk like a boss, people who at first dismissed her now hand her their paperwork with no resistance. Even my direct boss, and this woman is stone cold, was joking and messing with her playfully this morning. My heart was healed a bit. Also skeevy perv guy is not selling equipment in Direct Sales, no, he was demoted to tire scrubber. Alls well that ends well. Figured I would update you all.

To be honest, that's why I started shaving my head. I'm already bald, but I can deal with balding hair if it's still my natural color. As soon as the red faded and then the gray came in all around, it was time to grab the razor. I look 10 years younger with a shaved head than I do with balding salt and pepper.
There's a few white hairs in the beard, but they're still few and far between. There's enough that they're the 'earned by stress' hairs but not so much that I can't wear red jackets in the winter time for fear of little kids sitting on my lap.

I had that kind of moment, back when I was 40. So first there's that "fuck I'm getting old" feeling. And just as I'm getting past that, my beard starts slowly but steadily turning gray. For some reason my beard has always been a shade or two lighter than my dark blonde hair. But still, it was quite depressing to see it actually turn grey.
Hair's still going strong. Though there's noticeable grey in it. I'm the opposite of Lt. Grey is fine. Balding means Gilette.

I was worried about my hair when I started chemo. Wasn't so much losing hair but losing patches leaving tufts poking out. I mentioned at my last hair cut in February, just before I started chemo, that my next visit might be a buzz cut as I was starting chemo. The stylist.said if that's the case it will be free. I could have kissed her.
As it turned out I had no hair loss.

You know, it's not that big of a deal for a guy to color, if you're not happy with gray. Dan colors his hair. I bet he looks great with a little gray though too.
Just realized....Never have I ever had sex with a bald guy. I love running my hands through Dans hair while making love. I think rubbing my hands on a smooth head would be great too.

Current state of the gray. I was using Grecian shampoo for a while, but what I discovered is that anything the shampoo got on it would be stained. The shower curtain, the tiles, the tub, etc. And all of that requires scrubbing with bleach to remove. So I just decided to let the gray take over.

The salt and pepper look is very sexy. And I've been a two guys who were bald. One by choice the other was losing his hair so he just shaved it off. It's a bit weird seeing a bald head between my legs, but I got over it very quickly. Also reminds me of a joke

Current state of the gray. I was using Grecian shampoo for a while, but what I discovered is that anything the shampoo got on it would be stained. The shower curtain, the tiles, the tub, etc. And all of that requires scrubbing with bleach to remove. So I just decided to let the gray take over.
Woo. Love the .smirk.

Blondes rarely, if at all, have issues with graying hair. Now, issues with thinning hair is another problem. I am seeing more and more men and women letting their hair stay gray and not dye it. Salt and pepper pubes is also attractive.😎

I’ve been sporting a ‘stache for about 15 years. It may be my imagination, but it seems like judges and juries take me more seriously. You can see from the photo, I have rather youthful skin, with very few wrinkles. But the gray mustache makes me look like a slender Wilford Brimley. Diabeetus.

On the topic of hair colouring, I did it once and was blonde for a while. It really didn't suit me. Mrs JBRG used to colour her hair to cover up the grey. She hasn't done that to her hair for several years. The mix of grey and various shades of brunette have many women asking where she gets her hair coloured. They, apparently, are very jealous when she says that's her natural hair.

My dad has been calling me repeatedly today to make sure I'll be coming by for the packers postseason game.
"Packers packers packers"
"Its preseason dad, calm down"
"PACKERS!!"
If I dont answer his silly.little.phone call he sends me texts. He is by far the biggest goofiest kid I know right now. Oh, and since he threw out his old jersey, he's been sporting his new on almost all week #29 Douglas
I sent Julie a joking text saying she needs to get control of her man. She says he's been all smiles all day.

Back in my early 20's I had a span of a few years where my hair was every color but natural. Blue, orange, red, purple, pink, gray on purpose, white, black, leopard spots, you name I did it. The only reason I stopped dying it was I stopped cutting it and let it grow out. Longest it got was the middle of my back. Had it long until my early 30's when I realized I was the bald guy with the pony tail.

It's preseason for the fans, too. Need to get those drinking muscles and screaming throats in shape so we don't pull anything when it counts. But there's 3 weeks of preseason games to get into shape.
First game is some light snacking of the good stuff for the first quarter, then calling in the cheap chips and beer. Second game you use most of your tried and true treats, make sure they're good for the season. Final preseason game is drinking all the shitty beer that no one else drank for the last year. This is the beer that would otherwise get cut, but they get a chance now to watch as the 7th stingers play. Who knows, maybe one of those shitty beers will impress well enough to make the extended roster, see some special teams work when you run out of good beer or one of the games goes into overtime. Or to toast the 100th "Is this Aaron Rodgers's last year in Green Bay?" story that gets posted by the 6th week of the season.

Going garage/yard saling today. Not just any neighborhood yard sale. This one is the M25 yard sale, 150 miles in length.
I haven't done it in a few years but it's just a fun drive along the edge of the thumb, with beautiful water views. Dan and M have never done it. M is bringing her new boyfriend. Lots of food trucks along the route also.

The numbness that developed in my right foot is keeping me from driving.
Neighbors have been good about going to the store but when I do it myself there's always a few things not on the list that jusu 'fall in the cart". :facepalm:
Today the wife of my best friend came in and drove me to the store I needed. Back home with groceries, we got my wife in the car and crossed the river to introduce my driver to our favorite little bistro.
The three of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch. Fully sated, we came home and bid our friend good bye. Plans are next weekend she'll pick us up and take us out to their house. We'll be able to talk to the dog and play with her husband...umm, I think I got that backwards. :facepalm: :emot_laughing:
Took the cat outside and got a call from my sister in Iowa. My other sister from Texas was in Iowa and they are talking about coming up to see us. Might be just a few hours but I'd been afraid I wouldn't see them again. So maybe......

WMMD The 125 miles of garage sales were fun. It wasn't too hot. Some cloud cover. Lots and lots of stuff. We only went about 10 miles and hit about 40 different places. We would stop where it appeared there were multiple homes participating and then walking between them before getting back in the car and driving further up the road.
I got a $1 plant stand for a dollar. I got an American Pie album. I've always loved the album cover and I bought it more for that than the actual vinyl. I bought a couple of candlesticks. A bunch of books. I found a Playboy of the Vanna White.issue. Didn't buy it, but looked through it. The food trucks were almost nonexistent where we were, but we went into a small town grocery store and their deli counter had some very good food.

I always felt bad walking into a rummage/garage sale and not getting anything. Somtimes I'll buy a shirt or stuffed animal or something somewhat cheap and then drop it off at a thrift shop on my way home.
WMMD: Had a spontaneous girls night with my sister and dad girlfriend. We went out for margaritas and tacos. Had an absolute blast with her. She has a great sense of humor and what surprised me the most is she can really sing. We picked a few songs on the juke, and when she started singing my jaw hit the floor. American idol material in my opinion. My sister was just smiles the whole time and would not shut up about her boyfriend. When Julie asked, I explained my situation but she didnt press too much.
I also learned that she's full irish and a natural red head
I swear if my dad screws this up with her, I'll murderize him

I felt really shitty all week long. Basically working, eating, sleeping, repeat. And gradually felt more and more rundown. My son came over Friday night, and we threw down some bourbon with some pizza, and I felt like hell yesterday. So I got up, forced myself to go on a very long walk, eat some healthy food, and no booze. I took a sleeping pill, and slept 14 hours. And I feel like 1 million bucks today.

I used to do IT for a school board and people wondered why we would be a Mac shop. After all, PCs were cheaper. And our position was why pay $1400 to $1500 over a 10 year period for 3 computers when we spend $1100 for 1. The fact that our Macs were lasting 9-10 years and the other school board's PCs were lasting 3 made our total cost of ownership much less (less for the computers over all and less in labour costs having to configure machines). Our school board (17 schools, central office and maintenance department, over 1400 computers) employed 3 technicians. The other board (similar size) had a tech in each school.
And to think that I got into Macs because the company I was working for in '98 needed somebody who could provide support for those machines (MacOS 7).

Similar story here. I've been in IT most of my life but also have an art school background, and in the mid 2000's doing any video work on a PC was a lesson is S&M. What would take 8 hours in the PC lab I could do in an hour on a Mac, and not even a new one but one that was a few years old by then. Also the girl I was dating (now wife) was also a Mac user and she never had nearly the kind of IT issues I had to deal with.
My rule of thumb for the last decade and a half of IT work has been $500/year. For every $500 spent, expect 1 year. Anything more is gravy. I lost count of how many Black Friday PC's I'd see dead within a year, and then they're standing in line again to repeat their mistakes. Meanwhile the kid that spent his student loan refund on a really nice Macbook is carrying that thing around for the next 5-10 years and only really thinks of upgrading when it's no longer supported.

Glad you're out of that little funk, but who can blame you with everything you and your family has been through these last few month.
WMMD!
ROCKZILLA!!!
Friends piled into two cars and drove to Green Bay for an amazing concert. We sang and had a blast on the drive over. Since it was sunday, it was an early concert starting at 5:00. When we got there, I felt overdressed in jeans my papa roach t shirt, and red flannel as most of the other women I saw were wearing almost nothing is some cases. I swear one girl was wearing a cut up mans dress vest being held closed by a peice of dental floss. A strong wind and she would have popped out. The rest must have come from a mesh and fishnet convention. But hey, that's what fucking rock and roll concerts are. Immerse yourself in music, let loose and being crazy! I only dressed like that once, kept getting gropped, and said never again. Another reason I was glad I wore what I did was because it got windy and the temp dropped to 65, which in august is friggin freezing.
Featuring: Bad wolves A band that isnt the most popular, but they have some fantastic songs, and I think their cover of zombie by the cranberries is as good or even a little better. Not knocking the original as it is a phenomenal song, and I love it. However, that was before Bad wolves got themselves a new lead singer, and to be honest... he fell a little flat for me. Maybe if he spent a little more time actually singing and less time call everybody "mother fuckers" and "fucking pussies" I might have enjoyed them a bit more. And he butchered "zombie"
Hollywood Undead
Honestly I havent heard too many of their songs, but last night they made a fan out of me. They were amazing. You never knew who was singing as they all had good vocals, and they music was so up tempo. I loved them, and probably danced the hardest to them than any other. It was like Linkin Park, Meets limp bizkit, meets simple plan. They even pulled a fan, a kid, up on stage and had him singing to one of their songs. The kid was actually pretty good. I absolutely loved them and they convince me to buy some of their merch. $110 for two tshirts...
Falling in reverse
Another band that I dont have too many songs of, but I do love one of their songs called popular monster, which the played at the end of their set. They were full of energy and the lead singer was fantastic. I may not know too much of them, but that didnt keep me from jumping up and moving.
Papa Roach:
The main even did not disappoint in the least. They hit all the best songs forever, last resort, scars, and they closed the show with Born for Greatness. I was going crazy. My ears are ringing and my voice is completely gone today but it is totally worth for having that time rocking with papa roach. Going to listen to live music is just about the best thing out there, and singing along with the artists is just a positive feeling. I'm going to be riding this high for at least a week.

Read through the first 27 pages of posts of this topic. Cried a couple of times. Happy cries. Happy memories.
A little back story... My sis-in-law took my soon to be 6 year old daughter to get some clothes at a store for back to school. They were out of those clothes and some similar ones. The sales associate said, "All the stores are going through them like Hot Cakes" After leaving the store, Lin asked Debbie what that term meant. She explained. So to her now, everything is 'going through them like hotcakes.' Sometimes the term fits, most times it makes absolutely no sense what so ever.
So, this morning.... I was meeting my friend for breakfast. Sis-in-law had originally planned on watching Lin but got called into the office. So, I took Lin with me. It was to be the first time her and Abbie met. I gave Abbie the heads-up and asked if she was cool with it. She said no problem. When we arrived, Abbie was already sitting at a table. We walk up and I introduced Lin to her. "Lin, this is my friend Abbie." Abbie holds out her hand and says, "I'm so happy to meet you, Lin. I've heard so much about you." Lin shakes her hand and replies, "Nice to meet you. So are you daddy's newest girlfriend?" First, I'm ready to laugh at the term 'newest girlfriend'. Abbie sort of looks at me and gets a laughing smile going. We really haven't discussed exactly where we stand, but I give her a little nod. She turns to Lin, smiles and says, "Yes, I think you could say I'm his girlfriend." Lin looks at me and says, "Boy daddy, you're going through girlfriends like hotcakes." There was a couple sitting across the aisle from us. The woman started laughing so hard I thought she was going to pee her pants.
So, my happiness today and everyday is my darling daughter for making me laugh so often.

The woman is a RN who's taken a class in foot care. She's gone out on her own and did a great job on both of us. When my wife made the appointment I said we should see if there's a discount for two in the same house. She told me to shut up. :facepalm:
The lady arrived and we told her there would be two of us. She said there's a discount for two.HAH! She proceeded to take care of both of us. She had special clippers for our problem nails and everything was slick and painless.
I have one black toe nail where I stunned the toe a few weeks ago. She said this nail may fall off. Don't worry it's not the end of the world. I started laughing, we'd talked about my cancer earlier. I said with my cancer I guarantee losing a toe nail isn't the end of the world. We all got a good laugh.
Wife had already made out the check before the lady got there and told us about her discount. It's $50.00 for one and a $25.00 discount for two. My wife tipped her also. So she ended up with a $45.00 tip and $75.00 for the nail care. She offered to give us change and we declined.

Yes, you caused it. After 50 posts you were elevated to Pervert. That is designated by your name showing up in pink. Keep on posting, not only so you can get a higher designation but because you have interesting posts..

My sisters are coming for a short visit today. Should be interesting. They've taken to bickering a lot. Taking after our grandmother and her sister. It's a 4 hour trip for me. The youngest sister is driving. She says Google is telling her a little over three hours and she has that Texas lead foot. Other sister has to bring her dog. Won't kennel it for even one day. :roll:
Wife came up with the best plan. Get takeout and go to a park two blocks from us. The park includes the second highest waterfall in the state.
Only going to have a couple hours together. They have to head right back to Iowa. Texas sister still has 900 miles to get home. We've never been close. This will be first time in many years all of us have been together. I'll enjoy every minute I get and appreciate the effort they're making to see me.

Finally, after two months, I figured it was time to get back golfing. Found out I would be in a tournament. Not having swung a club in two months I figured the person I would be playing against would beat me handily. Took him all the way to the 18th hole in match play before he beat me. So, yes, I had a great day. Still some pain and last night was not a very good night pain wise but I played much better than I thought. 8)

Congrats on getting back into "the swing of things". Good to hear you did so well.
I remember learning about match play. When I worked at a radio station I put together coverage of a major tournament held each year. I agreed to broadcast the early reports until the sports director finished his DJ shift.
Was just about to do an early report on the start... just some color. My knowledge of golf scores was 72, 68, etc. 18 holes. Just before I went live the club pro handed me a slip of paper and said we have early scores in.
So, I go on the air and say here's some early scores folks. I look at the paper and see one all, 2 up, etc. (gasp) Now a word from our sponsor.
"JACK!" ( club pro) He came right back and I received a :30 lesson on match play. :facepalm: I fumbled through the rest of the report and went back to the pro who schooled me on match play. Our coverage went well and the station got lots of compliments on the coverage. Most of the businesses who were our sponsors belonged to the country club that hosted the tournament. So it increased our standing with them.

One will be amazed at all the different games that can be played in golf. And as there are as many different games in golf, there are at least twice as many ways to make or lose money. In fact, it is actually hard to just go play 18 holes without being bombarded with someone saying, "want to bet on closest to the pin".

A happy reunion with my sisters yesterday. My Iowa sister I'd see fairly often but she was having some health problems just as I was ready to go down there again. By the time she was ready for visitors, COVID! As restrictions on that started to ease, I got hit with cancer. My Texas sister I hadn't seen for about 15 years.
I was disappointed that we were only going to have a few hours. It was to be a quick trip up then back home. The start of their trip was delayed. Major power outage where the Iowa sister lives. I was waiting for the text saying they had to cancel. Then I got word the power was back on and soon they were on their way north. All freeway driving and they got to the Twin Cities between rush hours. Saw the car pull up and I went out to greet them. After hugs were exchanged we went inside and started catching up. Iowa sister brought her little dog, so the cat was upset. Still he came out and jumped to the top of his cat tree to keep an eye on things. As he was staring down at the dog on the floor, he looked like a vulture ready to pounce down and start feeding. Texas sister and I headed out to a nearby grocery and got fried chicken and everyone chowed down. Dog had his own food they brought along. The cat had some of my white meat. My Texas sister got a kick out of giving him some of her chicken too. After more talk, I called my daughter in New York and put her on speaker. She was delighted to hear from her aunts. My sister had her number wrong and hasn't been able to contact her for awhile.
I tried to talk them into getting a motel so they wouldn't have to drive in the dark. Offer to pay for it, but was declined. So after 4 hours of catching up, taking pictures and getting good-bye hugs they were off again for a 4 hour trip home. It was one of the best days I've had in along time. I'm still smiling. :D :D :D :D

Wife and I took a friend to breakfast this morning. He's helpe :Dd us a lot since my health problems started. Rides to appointments,. picking up groceries etc.
Small repayment, not that that's needed. More like a thanks. After went in the back enjoying the cool morning and sunny skies. Me with the paper, wife with her sewing. Then the cat joined us. He checked over the choices of grass. He's like, "Humm... which will barf up best."
Now I'm finishing the last crossword. All in all, a good dang day. :D

Waking up early, and finishing all my word games and card games by 7 AM, and then making an absolutely delicious Nespresso, opening the blinds and enjoying the early morning sunlight. I had a deposition scheduled today that canceled at the last minute, so I don’t have to be at the office before 11. I feel so content with my life right now. There are 1 million things to be upset about, but I’ve finally reached the age where I don’t give anything permission to ruin my mood. I’m just happy when I wake up and realize I’ve been given another day. Happy Hump Day.

Lunch at the VA today. Had to be in at Noon for blood draw then meet my Oncology Nurse at 2:00. That gives her time to get blood test results back.
Walked in to seating area looking for a table when a guy wearing a hat that said Navy waved to me. Yes, I joined him. First time since COVID started. I always loved finding someone to sit and talk with here. Even tho' we were Army/Navy there was lots of common ground. A most enjoyable lunch. :D

Drove to Calgary yesterday to attend the Mexican Consulate. Second time in three weeks. Got my Temporary Residency visa then. Because she didn't have an appointment on that day, my wife was unable to get hers then. So, it was back yesterday and my wife walked out with her residency visa. What that means is we don't have to leave Mexico after 180 days.
So, as one of my former motorcycle instruction comrades used to say --- WE"RE ON OUR WAY TO MEXICO mid October (is the plan).

Packers played... yesterday... 1 a.m. right now.
My dad called and asked if I was coming over to watch the last preseason game. Told him I wasnt feeling well and I wouldn't be over. I was sitting in my living room writing and listening to music, when I got a text from my dad telling me to let him in. I was frustrated, and irritated that he was just dropping in, but at the same time so very happy and so very... grapefruit... that he was there and i wouldn't be alone. He brought boneless chicken wings, cheese curds, and Cayman Jack Margaritas. He didnt talk much, just asked what I was listening to. I unplug the headphones and we listened to a random mix of my favorite music, mostly rock. We started talking music and tv shows. He talked about the packers a bit, but never once asked me how I was doing. I knew he could tell something was up, and since I've been dealing with this for many years, he didnt push the issue.
After about an hour, we stopped talking and just ate together and listened to music. I could tell he wanted to know about the game, so I turned off the radio, and turned on the tv. Found the game and we watched some of it. At was a horrible game, but it was preseason, so no surprise there. Not sure when it was, but he asked if I wanted to talk about it, and I just broke down into tears. I cried so hard I thought I would pass out from not breathing. I'm 37, but I felt like such a child needing her dad. All I could do was hug him and cry.
I'm crying now as I type this mess out.
I cried so hard and so long, and he just sat there with me, hugging me when I needed it and staying silent and responding only when I spoke to him. Next thing I know, I'm waking up on my couch wrapped in blankets. I took a shower and cleaned up a bit. I know hes sleeping but sent home thank you and love you text. I'll call him later today.
I do wish that was the end of it, but I'm still feeling depressed, but I do feel a lot better.

Here is what made my day.
Estranged wifey had an appointment with the SSA on Tuesday. She needs Medicare for her dialysis. The asswipe bureaucrat told her she wasn’t fully vested, and to “come back in two years.” She’ll be dead in two months without dialysis.
So I drove 120 miles to open the doors at SSA today. Laid out the law. Took a certified copy of our wedding license and my SSA earnings statement. BAM! They reversed themselves, approved the application on expedited basis, benefits retroactive to her date of diagnosis. So she’ll have to figure out some other way to kill herself.
She looked good, energy levels back, horny as hell… so we shared a few orgasms to celebrate. Good to be the king.

Unfortunately, we have to stay married now. Because her Medicare eligibility is based on her being the spouse of a fully vested Social Security beneficiary. So I’ll just suck it up. We live 100 miles apart. It shouldn’t be that difficult.

Working today, but then I took a couple days off. I'm headed to wauwatosa to pick up my friend, and we're just going to get in my car and drive. Where are we going? Not really sure, but we just want to get away and out of town for a little bit. probably go to door county, but I want to go and see something different. Maybe head south and go someplace near all the sunflower fields. Love looking at all those.
Since shannon got married Amanda has been feeling a bit of a thrid wheel. Nothing really changed between any of us, just one wears a ring now. Shannon understands, but says next time she's coming with. So I'm headed out this evening and wont be home for about 4 days. I'll probably pop in from time to time.

Our experience with WiFi in campgrounds is that it's pretty good until about 6PM when everybody has checked in/returned from the day's activities. Then it goes to crap because the router(s) are overwhelmed with traffic.

We’re not often visited by born-again perverts, but they exist. I knew a lot of child molesters and closeted homosexuals in the Pentecostal church. I think Fundamentalism has a pull on people with inner conflicts about their own sexual orientation and identity, because it offers simple solutions. Don’t know if you’re going to hang out here long, but glad to hear you’re dealing with circumstances. The poet Robert Frost said he had learned one thing about life. “It goes on.”

Got back from my little vacation with Amanda last night. It was quite spontaneous so I wasnt really sure what we were going to do or where to go. She told me she really didnt have any idea either and started naming off stuff in Wisconsin like the Dells, or those caves. She even thought about going to a casino hotel, but ultimately we ended up in Door County. I figured someplace I dont go to quite a but, but I was being a hit selfish and forgot that Amanda almost never gets up there. So that's where we headed. Hotels were full, and we just barely got into a condo that was going to cost us white a bit, but what the hell we're trying to have some fun.
We spent the days people watching and walking through the different towns checking out all the tourist traps and specialty shops. We rented a few bikes and hit a a trail at peninsula state park just to do something different. Every time we stopped we got swarmed by mosquitoes. One guy told us, that they weren't bad, but it had rained pretty heavily on sunday night, the night we got there, and then they just went crazy. This did not stop of from enjoying time out by the water soaking in some of the sun. Monday was really windy, but tuesday and Wednesday were perfect for it.
Of course we hit a few wineries and did some taste testing, and my opinion stays the same, have no idea how anybody can drink dry wine. If I'm drinking wine, it has to pretty much be a boozy fruit juice.
There are not too many full on bars around, at least non that looked like they are for us, or they were really far from where we were staying. We have no problem taking an uber or Lyft back to the condo, but we dont want to walk two towns over to get the car in the morning, but found a few and had a couple of drinks.
We both had a great time catching up on things and just letting loose. Amanda did bring a guy back to her room, while I... entertained, his buddy on the couch at the place we rented. They had invited us back to their camping site, but Amanda whispered that it might be fun, but reminding her of the mosquitoes changed her mind. After making the "going to murder us jokes" we said we had plenty of room by us, and that's how that happened.
All in all, we both had a fantastic time. Should definitely do it more often.

What made my day was coming back and seeing the well-wishes when I came down with Covid. I truly appreciated it. Woos are incoming:) The 'rona wasn't bad at all, and I'd honestly prefer this episode to a head cold. Paxlovid helped. Thanks to Shiela, Pornhubby, Staci, and msslave!

I did absolutely nothing today. The most effort I had today was moving from my bed to the couch and back again. Even masturbating was lazy as my womanizer did all the work. Was an exceptional way to spend a day where I had nothing to do and nowhere to go.

Believe it or not, a phone call at 5:15 in the morning. Who calls someone at 5:15 in the morning? I'll tell you who, someone on the east coast.
Caller ID says Johnny something with a 934 area code (Long Island, New York). The following transcript is not exactly verbatim, but pretty darn close.
This is Publisher's Clearing House, calling with exciting news. In association with Mega-Millions Jackpot, Readers Digest Association and the Multi-State Lottery Commission, we're calling to notify you that your name has been drawn as the Grand Prize Winner in our 100-million dollar sweepstakes.
Listen carefully to the following information to claim your Grand Prize of 18 and a half million dollars.
As a bonus, you'll receive $7000 a week for life.
PLUS a brand new Mercedes Benz.
PLUS free car insurance and gasoline for the next five years.
PLUS...
I missed the last bonus or two because I was laughing so hard that I dropped the phone.
The confirmation number was repeated three times and the phone number (same as shown on caller ID) was recited twice. I had only 48 hours to make the call or they would give my prize to someone else.
Too bad it was a recording. If it had been a live person I could have asked them to throw in the Golden Gate Bridge and some ocean front property in Kansas... and told them that I stopped believing in Santa Claus in the early sixties.
Seriously, I haven't laughed so hard since reading Toe's lawyer joke a few weeks ago in Joke Of The Day.

Seriously, I haven't laughed so hard since reading Toe's lawyer joke a few weeks ago in Joke Of The Day.
I always reply to a live human being by advising them that I am an assistant United States attorney working with the Federal Trade Commission‘s online fraud division. “This conversation will be recorded. First, may I have your name?“ They usually hang up before I can finish.

No seriously, one of my grandmothers actually got taken for $100,000 by a scam artist that convinced her she had won the Canadian lottery. Never mind that she had never bought a ticket in the Canadian lottery. I think you just get to a certain age where your thinking is in the bowl, and you become the victim of a grifter’s persuasive abilities.

There are so few "live" people making calls now all the clever responses like that are futile. My Google Pixel 6 screens calls for me. If I see an unrecognizable number, I hit screen call rather than answer or hang up. Caller then gets a message that call is being screened and to please leave a message. Don't believe I've had one message left and call is usually disconnected in less than 10 seconds.

It will always be with us. I have a friend who made his living cold calling (bastard) for many years. He explained, “You expect to get hung up on 99 times in a row. But that 100th call? GOLD.” That is the mind set we are dealing with. And robocalls make it even worse.

My mother got taken too, for how much I'll never know.
When I showed her evidence that an identical lottery scam was being perpetrated on thousands of other people, her reaction was, "Yes, that may be so. But IF it's for real, just think of how it would change our lives. No more financial worries, ever."

Had a friend drive the wife and I to a Sam's Club yesterday. (Large warehouse type store) Wife took one of their electric ride-on carts to go to customer service and try to straighten out a billing problem.
Our friend accompanied me as I went up and down the endless aisles. She's the wife of my best friend and a retired nurse, so I had medical aid if needed. :roll:
Wife finished her business and drove her little cart over near the checkout lanes to watch for us. While waiting a store employee stopped and asked if she could help her. Wife said no, "I'm just waiting for my husband. He's out here with another woman."
Store lady laughed and thought wife was kidding. About then I appeared with "the other woman". Wife said here they are now. The store lady started laughing and said, "Wow, you weren't kidding. I thought I might have to fight her for you." :D We all had a good laugh and proceeded to check out then load our boxes in the car.
To top off the excursion we treated our friend to lunch and she drove us home. Said our good byes and the downer was I couldn't pick up the boxes, had to slide them into the house. I've gotten pretty unstable now and need a cane to keep from falling. Kinda hard to pick up a box with a cane in one hand. Still we managed so it was a good day.

Had a bit of a rough day at work. Hard time focusing especially when it came to doing anything clerical. Had zero problem with any food I ate, and when I got home, I took a shower, played down on the couch was about to start watching rings of power, and fell dead asleep.
Woke up about half hour ago, and minus a little stiffness and ache in my wrist, I'm feeling like a million bucks.

Saturday the mailman delivered an "Official Business" notice from the Internal Revenue Service. Before I opened it, I thought I'd be posting in the WRYD thread because an official notice from the IRS has got to be bad news, right?
Imagine my surprise when I opened it and found out they owed me $1,502 because I qualified for a credit that I didn't take. All I have to do is sign the form and mail it back, which I will be doing post-haste.
I love it when free money falls out of the sky.

Title: Re: What MADE your day today?

Pretty awesome day today for me.
Got called at 9 am, my life long best friend needed help with his older sisters roof, as she and her husband was tripping balls about the approaching storm. So I get out there, and cut wood, strain my arms helping him hold it up to seal up the overhang, and remove the rotten flashing. So we are hot and tired, was promised it would only take a couple of hours. Did not get home until 5 pm. I was sore, and highly pissed off, was ready to say fuck it towards the end, because it was just me and my friend doing all of this, as his sister and husband were down with medical issues. we finally get done with the main part of it, when I get a phone call.
My boss called me in to triple check all the paperwork for tomorrow's meeting. I was so upset I was going to make a diamond out of my cell phone. So my friends brother in law comes home, checks our work out, gives it a passing grade and sends us on our merry way. I did not ask for anything for this, nor would I accept any cash. I am dumb like that, because him and his family are like a deep extension of mine. I tell him I gotta head to the office, since I rode with him, and did not feel like running home, showering and basically dressing for work. I get there, he is like "I gotta go to wally land, to get some stuff for my wife." I said sure, come back and get me please, in a couple of hours. I walk past security practically fuming, daring anyone to stop me. I ride the elevator up, and enter the office floor.
Instead of seeing the utter chaos I expected, since they almost always are if they have to call me in on a Sunday, what I see?
No one.
No one in their office.
No one in the meeting room.
No one hiding in my office or any office on the floor.
The fuck?
I call my boss and tell her I was in office, where is the fire?
"No fire, we moved all the files to look over to the cafeteria."
No big deal, not like I spent over eight hours in full sun light. dehydrated, pissed off, and smell like a mix of pine shavings, ass, and dog shit, since his sister lets her dogs shit everywhere in their back yard. Naw, its fine, I will go to the ground floor cafeteria and brutally murder everyone in the room with my pinkie toe. Then I will get locked up. That was the plan. Pinky toe murders, and jail.
I go down, and get stopped by security. No problem, still dog tired, but it isn't a hassle or a shakedown. Nope, Old Guard Marmalade (his nickname, he earned as when he first started YEARS ago, his wife would send him to work with jars of homemade preserves to sell to supplement his income. Shit is worth every penny. She got too old to do it anymore, I miss the hell out of it.
Nope, he wants to shoot the shit. Fine. I needed to calm down anyways. The AC felt fucking amazing. So we chatted, and then he gets a radio call, and had to go. Whatever.
I walk down the quiet hall, since the cafeteria does not really open until Monday, and when I open the doors....
No one.
I said fuck it and walked around, my pissed off levels are rising higher than they ever have. At this point, each of my steps are shattering earth and stone, little rocks are flying up, and I am about to go atomic. I was about to walk to the gates and call a cab, when I get another call from my boss. At this point i could barely hold back or even possibly contain the levels of fury that have risen beyond "miffed, peeved, pissed, angry, furious, enraged, and were in "fuck the world" Which I only ever felt once......
Furniture shopping.
With my oldest, who at the time was 15.
She busted her ass to earn the money for a brand new bedroom suite. Every single penny.
I told her she could have what she wanted, if she could afford it. I would have bought it for her if push came to shove, but I wanted her to learn financial responsibility.
There was no "Rooms to go" or other places like that. 3 shops. two were hella expensive. The one shop she could afford was not really epic huge, but had the whole bedroom setup she wanted. Nothing pink or pastel, or too "girly" No, she wanted feminine, but not girly. Fine, whatever that means. So she went to what she wanted, and actually had enough for it, and not the basic bed, wardrobe, etc. The full on 9 yards. an actual Armour or how you spell it. I even let her look around, and found her a jewelry chest box thing that matched. I bought that for her, because she is my Pumpkin and her daddy get it for her, even if she did not ask for it. I mean she slaved with chores, odd jobs and babysitting. I could splurge on a hundred dollar standing jewelry box thing. fuck it.
The salesman approaches me. "Looking for anything in particular?"
"Sure, my daughter wants this entire bedroom suite, and can it be delivered on Monday?" (this was a friday.)
"Sure can! let me show you...."
The guy noticed my daughter was touching things, getting the feel for them, and all that. It even had one of those vanity desk things with the mirror on it (fuck me if i can recall the name now.) He walks up to her while he was talking to me. He gets too close to her and as he is showing me something, she yelps. I figured she pinched her finger on the drawer or something. I look over at her and she is moving away from the salesman. The salesman has his shit eating gonna sell something grin on while trying to upsell some more shit for the whole thing to me. Then she sat on the bed. And all of hell, and heaven broke loose.
See, he must not have heard me when I said she was buying it. She sat on the bed, and he tells her to get off the bed. I started to understand what was happening. "Why can't she sit on her bed?" I asked.
"Because its not a kids bed."
"So?"
"The children's section is over there, she can go look over there while we talk about this for you."
I watched as my daughter, who worked her ass off, not only to buy this bedroom set, but also mature to the fine young woman she was at the time. She rid herself of what she considered childish, helped my wife with her sisters, and deserved a little more respect as a young woman, not a kid. Her heart broke. I seen it on her face. I knew the look. She was fighting all of her insides not to cry.
"I do not think you understand. This is for her. Not me."
As I said that, while also looking for another salesperson to assist us, because I was already into angry with him, he turns to her again, and puts his hands on her arm to pull her off the bed. Oh Fuck no.
No one touches my kids. No one. And you do not do it when I am around to witness it.
I cause a scene.
"YO can we get someone else to sell us this knock off crap?" I yell.
Before the manager and another salesperson came over, he had not let go. My little girl wanted that set, and by damned she earned it.
The only thing the salesman earned was my fist to his ribs. I could not get a face or head shot in, as my little girl was in the way, but I moved to his side and shouted for him to let her go. He did not. He got punched. The manager shows up, and after some bullshit we left after the cops let us go, with the set, at a huge discount, and even the doilies that were in the display.
I tell you this because I was at the violence is always the answer level of anger right then and this afternoon.
So my boss sends me back up to the floor I work on, and when I enter my office....
My boss was there with a plaque for my twenty years of working there, and a nice watch. Apparently the company was so busy with work they forgot to throw a party for me, and since no one was free, she sent me on a walk around to get everything ready. She also gave me a bottle of Ouzo, and after some talking and laughing, I left. My friend picked me up and took me home. I was okay at this point. My anger subsided a little. But despite all of the bullshit today, it was a pretty good day.

The company I work for loves its traditions. But this tradition is also usually done along with one who is retiring, but I do not plan on retiring until I am at least in my sixties. Despite having put in enough time for it, I think I will be too restless to enjoy it. Worked my entire life so far, why stop when I start yelling at clouds?

I have some very effective oil from my Palliative Care Nurse. It's from a local company that makes stuff for aroma therapy and massage oils.
Been using it on my legs and getting relief. Wife is in a lot of pain and has been for years. Tried it on her and she got help. So as not to take advantage of the VA, we've ordered our own bottles of the stuff.
A little while ago I was putting some on the wife. She needs it on her back, left hip and leg. I asked her where it hurts the most. She pointed to her left butt cheek and said, "It's a big area".
My reply was, "I'm glad you said that and not me". :emot_laughing:

The party was outside around a bonfire with lots of food. Several of the relatives had made it to Minnesota 12 years ago, so there was lots of reminiscing about that.
As for us folks, if we still feel up to it, we'll be going to a local steak house. Old people sometimes just say nah, and go to bed early. :emot_laughing:

Well, we are now 6 days away from going back to La Paz. We have 3 pieces of furniture and a mattress to dispose of and a few tubs of stuff to store at Mrs JBRG's niece's place. 17 October cannot get here soon enough. And, we have residency so we don't have to leave Mexico after 180 days. The needle is bouncing off the rev limiter right now.

Thank you. As the doctor told me, most of the skin issues started way back when I was a teen.
Mine told me the same thing. My parents were dumb when it came to sun protection. They both tanned easily. My sister's father was from Greece, she had a year round dark complexion. I was always burning in the sun. My whole family was dark. Maybe that should have been a clue to my mothers secret.

We went to Red Lobster last night for our anniversary. Wife can't see the menu so I read it to her and then ordered for her. She chose a shrimp platter with three varieties of shrimp dishes. I also ordered for her. Guess I got it wrong when the waitress came. This is what was set down in front of wife. (https://i.imgur.com/3Iigh5f.jpg) I guess I ordered wrong. Instead of a $28.00 dinner we got a $50.00 feast. Wife brought a lot home as she doesn't eat much. Only problem...we both forgot she's allergic to lobster. She had the small tail this morning for breakfast. This afternoon she got sick. One of the people we get together with on Fridays reported to us on Sunday that he had Covid. That's where our thoughts went. Tested and she's negative. Posting this picture, I remembered her allergy. Hope it passes quick for her. We did have a nice dinner tho'.

Red Lobster for the seafood lover in you.
So what made your day? The seafood feast? The negative Covid test? Or tasty KB porn?
We are having our Christmas party at a local seafood place called Garbo’s. It is on an entirely different plane. Orgasmically good shrimp, crab, lobsters, bisque, gumbo…

Elk is awesome. So is bison and caribou. And caribou is even better when you are 508 miles from the North Pole barbecuing it in a blizzard on New Years Day. That was back in 1981.

A quiet Saturday evening at home. Watching TV, enjoying a pizza. Filled with pizza we set the crust and one leftover piece aside and continued watching "Breaking Bad".
Out comes the cat and he jumped up on my chair got some pets then Neville's nose started twitching. Oh yes he says...On the little table. I know he's never had any interest in pizza other than take a nibble of crust, so I just let him go to have a small sniff. Ok, maybe he'd grab one of the crusts. Next thing I know off the table he goes with the one full piece left. :emot_laughing:
I'll say this for the kid. If you're gonna grab something... take the best. Prize in paw Nev took a few bites of crust and calmly walked away.
How'd it make my day? I just had to admire his balls even tho' he's neutered. :emot_laughing:

I never really contemplated just how fucking big a 65” television is.
(https://i.imgur.com/0Jc8roQ.jpg)
Amazon offers their 65” Fire TV for $30 a month, 0% APR. but it is huge. I feel like one of those small dicked fellows who bought a monster truck. LOL.
I remember buying a 32” CRT Sony back in the day. It weighed 100 lbs. and needed a huge shelf to hold it (remember the TV cabinets built into walls?). We thought, “This is IT! They’ll never make something bigger than this!” Well, they did.

Wife bought a 75" tv for the living room because our cat decided to go spastic while chasing another cat who got into our house out. I do not usually watch much tv, but now I feel the need to charge for tickets and snacks. Do not feel bad my friend, just think of it as an investment in when we all start that last walk down hill and our eyes go bad, that we can still read the ticker from a mile away, lol.

I haven't been keeping up lately because Insatiable Girl and I have been moving into a cozy cottage in the woods. Just got the office dug out of boxes last week and infinite fix-it work to do around here. We survived Ian with just the young avocado tree in the front yard falling over.

Got home from the VA after some physical therapy. That included getting a knee brace. My leg knee is getting weak and collapsed on me now and then. Only fell once. :facepalm:
Anyway, what made my day was as I pulled into the garage, I got a text from the neighbor. Would I like to go to the dog park with her and the puppets.at noon. She was leaving in 20 minutes.
Sorry I texted back, just got home and need lunch. Ok, how about 12:15 she texted back. That's doable, so I said ok.
Had lunch and met her in the alley. Tossed my walker in the back of the truck, climbed into the cab and got doggies kisses. And we were off.
Had a fun time watching the dogs all play together. The neighbor dogs both came up to me with their balls. This old man's arm isn't what it used to be so I didn't give them much exercise.
It was a fun time and there were treats when we got back home.

Morning paper delivery person is very reliable yet his delivery must be driving close to the curb and tossing the paper out of the car
Sometimes the paper ends up on.the sidewalk but only half way to the house. Rest of the time it's in the middle of the lawn. That's hard for both of us. Weeks ago our neighbor started picking it up and tossing the paper by the front door when walking the dogs.
This morning there was the paper in the middle of the lawn. Wasn't quite ready to go for it. Shortly after here comes neighbor's partner. Neighbor got to work and remembered she'd forgot about our paper. She texted her partner and next thing we knew the paper was hand delivered. Wife was so touched that she started crying...and she doesn't even read the paper.
So lucky to have such great neighbors :D

Sorry for the 5 day departure without notice.
Dan was golfing with his friends and he called and said, it's beautiful down here, want to come.
Well, I was missing him so much that I had my carryon suitcase packed in 15 minutes and was on the road in another 15 after. 4 hour drive down I-75 and I had him naked on his back within 3 minutes of walking in the hotel room.
We just explored the area and had lots and lots of fun.

I jumped up with my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. Biggest, hardest kiss ever. When he let me down, I pulled my shirt off and said, "I missed you." I wasted no time. An hour later we were in the hotel restaurant. Then a walk a half mile to a liquor store and back to the room, where we were both without clothes until we went down for breakfast. I had the best ham, cheese, mushroom omelet. And the worlds best bacon.
Speeding? Me? Never ;)

What made my day:
Everyone on KB, Love you all.
Watched my truck and my supervisors brand new F150 get demolished by a direct sales customer who lied out of his teeth about his ability to move a heavy bulldozer 20 feet to the trailer, which was too small to carry it. I called my insurance agent, and they sent me a loaner vehicle, which is a nice ass excursion. Might ask to just sell me the Excursion and cut me a small check. My boss now has the guys nuts on her wall, oh he is going to pay us HARD. I miss my truck, but she is in a better place. Also he has to pay the company to replace an almost twenty foot section of a wrought iron fence. Luckily I had the common sense to see the jackass fail at moving the bulldozer to get out of my truck and to safety when he crashed through the fence.
Lunch I was invited to a private lunch with upper management. They want to sue the guy and his company hard, and asked if I needed anything. I shrugged while eating my steak. They also were talking in a few years, if things improve, I might get to join them on the top floor, "If I play my cards right." Dunno much about the top floor, except the vending machines have expensive imported snacks and there is a rumor they have a barista on staff up there making pro coffee. I just smiled and shrugged, my career goals do not match with me being upper management, but it kind of made me feel good to know someone was notice my nose on the grindstone.
Had to call my sister to come pick me up from work and the girls from school because my brothers are asshats, and were at work, and my wife got called in on an emergency delivery. But despite my fuck it bucket being full, I was kind of at peace today.
Also wanted to tell you all thank you for being awesome and putting up with my nonsense.

Man, when I get my new vehicle I will pick you all up and we can do that redneck using a backhoe as a lake swing thing. The problem with that bulldozer was that its not the standard construction site one. We told him that it was an earth mover, not a jobsite easy clean up machine. Sadly this was not the first time asshats damaged employee vehicles at our company. But to bold face lie that you have the certs and qualifications to operate a machine that is wholly not like a vehicle. I will know next week if I can even get a vehicle on what the companies insurance with my full coverage will offer, since my truck is only a handful of years from being an antique. But yeah, I could ask the garage to let you tool around in a smaller bulldozer, not really that hard, probably going to have them take the scoop off though. because they have one they use to tractor pull stubborn equipment into the shop with. I never used one before because the seats are not comfy. This is why every yearly meeting everyone bitches to upper management to move Direct Sales into the back forty of the company's property, since there is an unused service road back there, and it will keep the children with their toys from finally knocking the building down. 3 times some jerk who thought they knew better hit a building while loading a piece of equipment.
This is why rental companies exist. Because owning is a hell of a lot harder than renting. One of the rental companies we are tied to even has a labor pool of operators that have all their credentials so that you dont have to look like the god king of all douche bags. Direct sales doesnt, basically buyer assumes all risks and responsibilities. We used to make buyers provide the papers to prove you can and in fact are licensed to operate heavy machinery, but people complained about it and the worst of it was they would just nab someone who could and take off with it, but always end up not using the operator. And then you get the home owners with a large plot of land to clear wanting a Bobcat (which is a hell of a lot easier to operate over the heavier machines.) who want one so bad, and then return a week later to return it because it does not work. It does not work because it does not run on magic and fairy farts. We do not fuel the machines, as most people who buy the heavy equipment usually has a fuel truck on site. We tell them that they will need to stop and buy diesel for them, and they look at us like we just shit on their birthday cake. We USED to fuel them up, but people assume that they can just come back to refuel it. We only fuel them enough to prove that they run. We service them, as long as they are under warranty, but fueling is not our responsibility. you by a 20 ton machine, you best have a fuel truck or service. But thats why we toss in a large jerry can for the bobcat sales, just to politely let them know that there is not enough fuel in it to do any long time work.
But you all here on KB could not fathom the many times you all kept me out of jail or a straight jacket. Thats why I have nothing but love for you all.

This one is nice as all hell, and yeah its big. Kind of reminds me of that MAD tv skit about the soccer mom who almost runs over a little old lady, and they play up the size of the vehicle. wife and I christened it last night, and I must not lie and say, that you could comfortably hold an orgy in it if you remove all of the back seats. not much of the van rocking action though as its pretty stable, which was a let down to think someone walking their dog could see this big suv rocking, but it didn't.
I was a little skeptical at first about upper management, figuring they were buttering me up so I wont sue for damages. But the biggest life advice I live by is "Don't crap where you eat." I like this job, so suing never entered my mind. But If I do not get my money, the guy who wrecked my baby is going to get taken to the cleaners twice.

I had three Ford Explorers, all Eddie Bauer editions, and then a Ford Escape hybrid. By the time my kids were all in high school, I really didn’t need an SUV anymore. And because I travel so much with work, I switched to a more gas efficient sedan. But I did love the Explorer.

Food was great, conversation lighthearted and my daughter was happy to be with wife's son again. They text a lot when she's back in New York.
We even had some good yuks over the old lady wanting to help me out of the car.

Great night last night. We were able to defend the home from various spooky little creatures. At one time I was worried about our supply of ammunition. The candy supply did hold up and I was pleased to see there is still some left in case of a sweet tooth attack.
It was a fun Halloween. First to arrive were the two little girls who live a few houses from us. They're four and five now. Youngest was Cinderella accompanied by her mouse friend, complete with a hunk of rubber cheese. They had the dog along for protection and he had a fur neck piece making him look like a lion.
The evening continued with lots of other great costumes. All the kids were well behaved and made sure to say thanks for their treat. Even as the older kids (still grade school age) I was happy to see a mom or dad along, some of them in costume.
One lad was dressed as that Grim Reaper. He had a mesh cloth covering his face even. I asked how he could see to get around. A voice from the dark said, "He has his cow to guide him." I looked up to see mom in a full body cow suit. Talk about being in the spirit.
All in all it was a fun evening and we had a great time treating our visitors.

Same here. Mild weather brought out the trick or treaters in droves. We had about 120 kids that stopped by us between the hours of 4 and 8pm. The weather was so mild, we sat out on the steps enjoying all the many costumes. Our pick for #1 costume was a young boy dressed as Beetlejuice. His parents had the make-up and costume down perfectly.
No slutty witch though. You would have gotten extra candy, MJ . 8)
This morning, no smashed pumpkins, broken eggs or toilet paper on our property so that makes our day!

Today is Dia de los Muertes - the day of the dead. The main celebrations here in La Paz are taking place not too far from here. Neither Mrs JBRG nor I are fans of crowds so we will probably pass on the parade and such.
A friend has asked us to check in on his place as he has left today for 2-3 weeks back in Canada. He has a pool. Me thinks we will be spending a lot of time there ;D

Sounds like you're a good friend keeping such a close eye on things.
In Zihuatanejo (maybe other places) Valentine's Day was huge. We stayed away from local areas and stuck to tourist spots that day.
Once we got there on Valentine's Day and I went downtown for Pesos from the ATM. Every one I tried was empty. Finally, las bank I tried had Pesos. Was sweating it for a bit.

We used the nipple suction thingys the other night. At first it was uncomfortable. I hated the look of these contraptions on my boobs. But then all of the sudden, some really intense feelings started as Dan worked his magic orally. Wow!!!!! After my happy time, they came off. Holy sensitivity. His tongue worked his magic on my nipples and I was like a fish flopping around. It def made my day.

Happy to be back home after another 1200 mile road trip. About 2400 all around. Sounds like you all had some pretty good time while I was away. Sorry about your truck WB and hope whatever comes next is great.
You've peaked my interest with those little toys Jules, may inquire more about them.
As for my trip... knocked two things off my bucket list. Seeing Niagara Falls and spending Halloween in Salem MA. Amanda, Shannon and myself decided we were going and we were going to drive. So much trou le happens on flights now afays wed spare ourselves that, and it allowed us to have a vehicle once we got there. We also figured costs would be about the same.
Anyways. I have to say that driving through Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut in October is stunning and jaw dropping beautiful. The colors and landscape left me in awe. We were all struck with the beauty. Wisconsin is passed peak color season and most leaves have fallen, and we weren't not expecting to see such beauty during the road trip. So so happy we drove.
Niagara falls wasnt on our plan, but we were driving a half hour away from it through buffalo and I said it's not that we should go see it. We have to go see it. So with a quick detour and Shannon FREAKING OUT going over that huge bridge we got to see those massive efalls in person. It was not what I was expecting. I was by no means disappointed just thought it was wider and more open. I loved being there seeing it first hand. We didnt stay long because we still have several hours on the road.
Shannon HATES bridges. There was also one in New York on I-90 that runs along a train bridge that she nearly had a panicked attack over. She shut her eyes real tight and we hit a bump. Amanda said we were across, she opened them and then scream and yelled, "Oh, you fucking bitches!" We had a great laugh about that... well Amanda and I did anyways.
Two other things we didn't expect to see was a van burning on the side of the road in Ohio I think it was. The heat actually reached us on the other side of the highway as we drove passed. It was crazy, and it kind of triggered me from when I was in the Army. We also saw a traffic jam that must have been 10 miles long. People just stuck not moving sitting on the road and on the guard rails. Not sure what caused it, but it was massive. Feel bad for all those people, but glad we were going the other way.
Boston... boston doesn't go here. Boston goes in ruined my day...
Salem was crazy fun. Costumes, great food, delicious drinks, a coffee shop that stays open late at night. Walking tours and haunted houses. It was everything I was expecting and more. Street performers and shops to buy more witch stuff. Visited graveyards of those murdered during the witch trials and some of the more haunted locations. Parking wasnt always the easiest but we figured it out. A lot of women walking around dressed as the Sanderson Sisters, which is why we decided not to. Our costumes where quick simple. We couldnt pack a whole lot, so it was small stuff. Bodyauits with cat ears and tails... no not buttplug tails, and yes some drunk ass asked us... I also brought some wolf ears and tail. The tail is on a little belt if your wondering. I wore jeans with mine because it does get quite cold at night, booze helps a little.
Anyways. It was a fantastic trip, we did split the trips in half by spending the night in Eerie Pennsylvania so it wasnt 18 hours straight through even though we could have with three of us taking turns driving. Better safe than sorry.
Glad I'm back home though :emot_kiss:

Wow! Quite the trip Shiela. Good report. Glad you took the time to see Niagara. Wife and I went out there over 35 years ago, before we were married. It was our first long trip after we got together.
Salem sounded interesting and on Halloween yet. A well planned trip. Sounds like it was a mix of history and touristy.stuff. Glad you gals got on the fun with your.tails. :D.
Thanks for the report.

Title: Re: What MADE your day today?

None, but we would have never stopped for one. Me and Amanda both have handguns that we did bring, and Shannon had pepper and bear spray in her SUV, but we'd never pick up hitchhikers.
There was so much we did, like on Saturday we didnt have any tours or anything planned, and Shannon is all about Hard Rock Cafe and hoth locations in Boston were closed, so we drove to the one in Connecticut at that MASSIVE casino there. So not only did we put two more pins in our state visit map but we got to see so much more beautiful countryside and did a little gambling. We all quit when we started losing. I'll be honest and wanted to stay a bit longer, but those two had enough and we headed back.
Oh and we had a workshop where we all made our own witch brooms and learned a bit of history on the lore about why witches fly on brooms and such. Was so much fun. There were other people in the workshop and the girl reaching wa getting frustrated with one woman, bot because she was rude or anything bad, she just had trouble getting something to work, and the instructor had an anxiety attack and started crying. Everybody in the room stopped and went to her. Did our best to calm her down and trying to get her to relax and smile. I started talking like my male relatives with that thick midwestern accent with the "holy Toledo's", "Geez Louise", but it was the "dontcha know" that got her laughing pretty good. Got just about everybody laughing.

They were only less than an hour away from Chicago when she'll take over driving duties. Husband doesn't do heavy traffic or city driving. Country boy at heart.

Yes, very proud. He said it was unseasonably warm and struggled a bit in the second half, especially on the bridges, resulting in his slowest time of 3:18 (fastest is just under 3).

Great News and Not so Great news, If anyone wants to know:
Both company insurance and my personal auto insurance cut me a check, I figured only company insurance would cover it, but since technically where I parked was an old driveway, just closed off, and it is still somewhat connected to the street, it was also considered a street collision too. I do not know the fathoms my insurance went to stretch it like this, but I am glad they did.
They said I could keep the vehicle as after I was done with it, it was slated for the auction block. So I paid for it.
The company aggressively is going after the guy. I do not presume to know law, but I know he is fucked.
Also I am now allowed to park in front of the building I work in. And the war was won at the loss of a beautiful lady truck.
Not so great news:
These past few days have been busy as all hell. Why?
ALL of my in-laws are crashing down to my town, along with ALL of my side of the family. Why would the powers that be allow such a bohemian clusterfuck? Because an Obscure Great Aunt and Uncle passed away. See, my wife's family and my family are almost joined at the hip. Like seven generations ago, they were like 10th cousins or some bullshit that I was told as an excuse for this shit to go down. So everyone wants a piece of the pie. These people who passed I have only met twice in my entire life. Once when I graduated High school, and they gave me three grand as a gift, and at a family reunion, where they perpetually believed I was still 18, when at the time I was 25. They would always send money to everyone for christmas, choosing not to visit relatives.
Will I allow anyone to crash at my house? Fuck no. No. No. No. Not because I do not like them. But because I can only tolerate most of them in small less lethal to my sanity doses. Wife offered to put them up at some extended stay lodges. Oh no, thats not good enough. They HAVE to stay in my house, eat my food, act like total jackasses, while putting me down for not being a big shot, and not driving the latest expensive euro import, and committing the sin of not keeping my wife decked out in furs and jewels, like I am some fucking Mob Don. Not going to happen.
Oldest daughter needs money. for lab fees and more books.
Second Oldest has officially lost her mind. Wants me to pay for her to join her friends for bikini sky diving. I told her that despite there being full sun at 10k plus feet in the air, it is cold as all fuck. Nothing will dissuade her. I told her she has a job, she can pay for it. Then she whined about bills, books and food. I rolled my eyes. Then I laid the facts of life on her. I did not get to do much partying, or exciting things in college, as I was working and going to classes to support her and her sister. The most excitement me and her mother had was the hot and wild make out sessions on the back porch so we did not wake you both up. Now every time she comes over she sulks.
Youngest daughter has found her stride in high school. Too bad shes on the nerdy/goth like stride thing.
Son is loving living with relatives in Texas.
Wife sprained her ankle at work, so shes off her feet for a few days.

Daughter made it home safely yesterday afternoon early. They have a two day drive of 1500 miles. Got several texts and calls along their route.
Best was a text when they were just 5 miles from home. Once they get there it's unloading the van then collapsing.
One final video came in that still has me chuckling. Their dog had been in the front seat curled up on her cushion. As they neared home she popped up and started barking like crazy. It was so funny watching her get more excited as they got closer. Soon the van pulled into the driveway and stopped. I heard th click of a door open and ZOOM...dog was out of the van.
Besides seeing the video of the dog, I was also happy seeing them safely pull into their driveway after the long trip.

Now again, I go to the polls and in many cases I will be voting against the Trump Kool Ade drinkers. One dizzy bitch has actively campaigned on her belief that Trump was really elected. Called her self the election denier in chief.
What makes my day is the end of all the negative ads from both sides. Doesn't any candidate want to tell the voters, " Vote for me, I can do a good job"

While not being the shared family farm, I was quite fond of it growing up. My uncle who owned it said it was "The perfect place to make a boy into a man."

America has more elections, more elected officials, and shorter term limits, than most any other nation in the world. So we are perpetually in an election cycle. I think we ought to tack on two years to every term (so they are thinking about their job and not re-election). And eliminate the election of judges, prosecutors, education boards, and all the other crazy small offices that nobody knows anything about. I know that increases the likelihood of corruption. But I think we ought to elect competent executive officials, and the trust them to get highly qualified people to fill those positions. What we’re seeing in Texas are absolute idiots getting elected to important positions, based solely on party affiliation. Many are idiots are idiots. We have a convicted child abuser running for the school board here, and he may win, because he is a Republican.

What makes my day is the end of all the negative ads from both sides. Doesn't any candidate want to tell the voters, " Vote for me, I can do a good job"
I've actually seen some ads that were kind of positive. They usually start off about how Mr. or Mrs. Good White Christian Patriot loves God, their country, their family, the military, and the police. ;D
But of course it would be too much to ask to have any ads that were 100% positive, so inevitably they all end with how their opponent favors extreme abortion, is a communist, wants to ban the police, and in once case, not only did they probably move here only to run for office, but they might even be European :emot_laughing: :facepalm:

But I think we ought to elect competent executive officials,
The problem is, and I'm sure you have noticed this, is that the people who are actually qualified to do the job don't actually run for the job. They have better things to do. Like running successful companies.
I have never seen a politician, at any level, who actually knew how to run a corporation as large as their level of government.
If there were fewer elections in the US, the election sign industry would collapse and put many out of work. :emot_laughing:

If politicians promise things during their campaigns, then they will be held to those promises. Much easier to attack their opponents. So glad all the political ads are finally over. Until next time. Overall, it seems the election was pretty well run with a minimum of issues and problems.

Other than all the candidates I voted for winning, I got a good laugh at home.
Wife and I both have trouble with our toenails. Maybe an old age thing. I have trouble just holding the clipper with my arthritis and bending over too.
Wife got the number of a RN who started her own business helping people like us with our feet.
So yeah, getting my nails trimmed was a highlight. What cracked me up was my cat. He came out while wife was getting her feet done. At one point the nurse was using a small battery grinder on a callus. It was making a high pitched whine and all of a sudden Neville got totally into what was going on. Wife realized the noise sounded a bit like a fly. And he is a good bug chaser. I had to watch close to make sure he didn't pounce on the grinder. :D
So nails are done for another couple months. It wasn't a full pedicure I guess. I didn't get any polish :roll: I had hoped to go for Whore Red :emot_laughing:

I have trouble with my nails. I’m just not as limber as I used to be, and it seems like I always manage to cut myself with the toenail clippers. And so I end up with my foot bleeding. And as a diabetic, that causes me concern. But I am not willing to go to a pedicure place, because I don’t want to pick up any bacteria or fungus. We diabetics always worry about losing our feet.
So I don’t look like Howard Hughes, but I’m not at all happy with my nails.

I'd recommend checking to see if there's some one like our gal. She's a registered nurse so all health concerns are taken into account. Not sure how you'd go about finding that service. Maybe just a internet search. Hell, of you can all that great porn, how hard can it be to find home health care. Just behave yourself damnit...no asking for a happy ending. :emot_laughing:

Aside from not being in shape to take care of ourselves, it's not something you could call a mani-pedi. Like I said I hoped for some sexy polish, but just a nail trim. Along with the trim she gives our feet a good examination. In addition to being a RN, she took a special class on foot care.
Having a pretty lady working on my feet is just frosting on the cake. Oh yes...she finishes with a brief massage with lotion.

That meme reminds me of the stories my grand father would tell of Vietnam and Korea. In Vietnam he was in the navy, assigned to drive PT boats up and down the rivers, often taking squads of marines to various areas. But sometimes he would see merchant boats trying to get to safety, and if he was going the same direction, he would escort them. As long as they were not aggressive they were cool with him. One day he is on patrol, having time to kill before his next fare, as he was called the river taxi, and he sees a man in a boat on the river from a distance. He said the SOP for the encounter was to slow down, and determine the operators intentions. Well he gets few hundred yards, when the gunner starts hooting and hollering. My granddad thought it was time to engage, so he grabs his gun as the pt boat drifts closer. Turns out the boat was full of naked women. The boat pilot was a pimp, and he wanted to bring the girls to the americans to make some money. Well the problem was.... If you did not know where the americans had camps and fobs, or were on the friendly list, you were either an enemy spy, or a plain enemy. Granddad calls it in, and half an hour later, three more pt boats escorted the boat to a dock, where the girls and man was searched at gunpoint. Turns out they were going to do some harm that night, and were all captured. My grandfather told me he proudly volunteered for guard duty until a truck could arrive to transport them to a camp for POW's. He was flatly told to get back on the boat and put his dick away.

I woke up at around 2:30 am, horny as all fuck. I did not feel like fapping, because my wife came home for a quick dinner, since she was working the late/graveyard shift, and there was a lull in activity, the woman's contractions had started, and it was turning out slow. She drained my balls for me, which was nice, ate dinner, and had to run back to work. So I am standing in my kitchen, because my horny mood evolved into an even weirder mood. I wanted to make some candy. Divinity was out, as it is still too humid here, and I did not want to wake up Mimi and my youngest daughter as the delicious smell would ensure that it would be devoured before I could even get the canister ready for storage. Ever had a specific candy craving? Well I was craving english toffee.
I knew the recipe, and even had some chocolate to melt to go over it. I did the work, and let it cool, broke it up then put it up after having some for my self. I wake up to three ladies tearing the kitchen apart. They wanted the chocolate. Apparently everything I did to try to hide the sweet smell failed. Lucky for them, this old dog had a secret stash spot. In the no mans land in the very back of the freezer is a cleaned out empty tub of ice cream. No one but me likes coffee ice cream, so it was left alone. I use it as a stash spot for chocolate or other things I do not feel the need to share. I *may* give them a piece later, but right now its my stash! It turned out better than expected.
Also for Shiela! It came out last night.

Went out for brunch with our friend who's husband is still in the hospital after re breaking his hip. That alone is a day brightener.
What really made the day was a waitress who works during the week showed up at the same time for her pay check. The place was packed but just as we were looking around a table opened up. The off duty waitress proceeded to clear the table for us, brought water, menus and utensils. Service above and beyond. :D
Oh yeah. As we were leaving I told the owner what she did and how much we appreciated it.

Whenever I get good service, which is usually, I always write a note on the check. I circle the server’s name and write “Great job! Thank you so much! The best!” I know a server who keeps copies of those notes. She recently negotiated a four dollar an hour raise. I think it helps when they have something to show a supervisor that they are giving great service to the customers.

Trying to get Taylor Swift tickets for her June shows in Detroit. Ticketmaster, be kind to me please. Also the radio station is giving tickets to one caller each hour. Struck out in the 9:00 hour.
Radio silence from me for the next 20 minutes.
**updat...struck out in the radio call-in opportunity in the 10 o'clock hour Sitting in the Ticketmaster queue. 2000+ in front of me. I hate trying to get concert tickets. I need them to Xmas. Me and the three girls are all huge Swifties.
UPDATE: I got 2 tickets so far. Still need at least two more. So excited.

Half way there. :sign_wow: I don't even know what you had to pay. Some of the prices I've heard are crazy.
Wife worked at the headquarters of Musicland here in Minneapolis. They owned Sam Goody Stores and Suncoast Movie.Stores. Every now and then we'd get deals on tickets at reduced prices. I remember seeing the Eagles, Tina Turner and Cher.
I'd also wanted to see Ricky Lee Jones when she was coming to town. We'd just gotten back from a trip that cost us a bunch and decided we couldn't afford to splurge for a while. Day of the concert wife called from work and said wanna go to see Ricky Lee Jones? WTH,"We already decided not to spend the money on that."
She'd gotten a pair of free tickets. :D There was an unknown group that opened too. Lyle Lovett and his Large Band. :o
Good luck on the other two tickets.

What made my day yesterday was the result of a miscommunication. Went for supper last night. Got help parking from a "local". I thanked him for his help. He said something back. I replied OK. When we came out of the restaurant, I noticed our van had been washed. 9 months of bugs on the bumper were gone. He came running over and without asking him how much I owed him, I gave him 200 pesos (about $13.00 Cdn) which was probably an over payment by his standards but he did a really good job.

WMMD..Best neighbors ever. Have I said that here before?
So, one of them picked me up from the VA after they got done checking me out after my accident. As we got to my house, the other came out, took my arm and helped me in to the house. She said her partner came for me because she was 'in her cups ". Not sure who should have been helping who. I still felt fine at that time.
Next day they drove me to the VA for an appointment. As they picked me up a short time later I asked to stop by the grocery on the way home. Just needed to get a couple things. They remembered.i was on the way to the store when I was struck. Both gals came in with me and we soon had everything on the list that still was in my pocket.
Home we went and they soon had all the groceries in the house for me. After profuse thanks they went home.
Today I was driven to the impound lot to get what possessions we had in the car. Once the insurance company takes possession I'd have no access to the car. We even found the sunglasses I was wearing at the time of the accident. One lens had popped out and the first couple of searches didn't find it. I went in one more time and AHA? had it.
The one thing not found was my right hearing aid. Still have the left one but it's the right that's the controller. So need to see about that. Meanwhile wife gets to yell at me with a legitimate reason.

Insurance company called and as expected car is totaled. What made my day was I'm getting a lot more than I expected. I knew used cars are in short supply but had no idea what values were. After all it's a ten year old car.
Of course on the flip side that same increase in car values will slap me in the face when I go looking for a car to get me through the next couple years.

Pardon absence. :emot_kiss:
So Thanksgiving was crazy. Woke up and started getting things ready to bring by my dad's. He was talking a bit game to his girlfriend about how great his dinners are, yet he tells me to come over and help. I gave him crap pretty much the whole day while we got eveything set, but he is a fantastic cook, and everything turned out great. We did have a problem with the scalloped potatoes not being fully done, but otherwise it was done perfectly. The whole family was there later in the day, and we all.had a great time.
The next day however, was not a part of plans at all. Allan apparently was going through something and wanted to get away. So he borrowed his parents camper and asked if I wanted to go with him to door county. Who the hell.goes camping in November in wisconsin??
Well I guess his family does winter camping and stuff like that all the time, because they have a whole setup with a skirt that goes around the bottom of the camper to help keep it heated. I have never been in a camper when it was cold out, but thankfully it was all that bad. Was windy and we even got some rain, but otherwise it was pretty tolerable. At night the little furnace in the camper would kick on and it would get really hot inside. Hot enough where clothes were not needed at all. If the campers a rocking dont come knocking. Even better though, there were only maybe 4 or 5 other people out camping/hunting, so we could be quite noisy if we wanted to.
We would only go into rish creek for coffee and breakfast, and then it was back to the camp grounds for piece and quite. We did have a few time where we heard some gun shots from hunters, that set us both on edge a little bit. There was one instance where there was about a dozen shots. He was a little stressed out after that one, so I did what I do and started making out with him by the fire to distract him. To be honest I was stressing a bit about it too, and it was the perfect way to draw attention elsewhere.
Whenever we were just relaxing, we would just lay on the camper watching The Office. He had the whole box set so we would watch the episodes, and the the special features as well. Eventually we just watch the deleted scenes, and bloopers.
We got back yesterday just in time for me to head over to me dads to watch the packers lose again.
Had an excellent time, but glad to be back home in my own bed. The camper's bed was quite uncomfortable, but having his body next to mine made up for it.

Glad to have you back Sheila. No doubt you and Allen provided enough heat to keep the camper warm. ;D

Two weeks after some idiot totaled my car. It had low mileage with regular service. I was sure it would last me up to the point when my health wouldn't allow me to drive any more.
Yesterday we got what we hope is the perfect replacement (fingers crossed). It's the same make and model so I don't have to learn how to operate something different. The car is two years newer than what we had and lower mileage. It's been well taken care of with Car Fax showing regular service and one owner.
Sometimes things just fall in place the way you need them to.

Too bad you can't give Her that big hug she deserves. I only hope Dan can handle your joy if you know what I mean. ;D

Okay, short story.
Browsing r/AustralianNostalgia, someone put up a pic of a 1.5L Coke bottle, asking if someone would give it an approximate date. Everyone noted the "Always Summer" logo device on the side, which puts around early to mid 90's. Me, on the other hand, spotted the phone number on the bottom of the label, which used a (008) prefix, which got replaced by the current 1800 prefix back in the early 90s (I think '93/'94 was when they did the switch). So I stated as much on the post.
Two people have praised me for the attention to detail (including the OP), and it's racked up ten upvotes as of writing. That made me pretty chuffed, considering it's a small, easy-to-miss but significant detail in terms of dating something.

Every time you mention the kids, I wonder about her and how she's doing. I am sorry for not asking more about her.
I haven't talked about M's battle with her cancer diagnosis since I first mentioned it. Though some of you have asked. (Thank you for that!).

I'll admit I had to Google the meaning of "chuffed." It sounded negative to me, but I was wrong: It means very pleased.

Just came by to check in. Yay! I really think we need to hire an IT professional to look in to this 503 problem. I don’t know if the site has been hacked, or if there is a new Internet protocol we need to implement. But this started a few months ago, and it’s only gotten worse over time. I’d be willing to contribute some money to that effort. And I’m sure some of you would also.

Looking at some explanations, the most common reasons for 503 errors are technical issues, server maintenance, or even Denial of Service attacks. Basically, the web browser is sending a request to the server, but the request isn't reaching the server for one reason or another.

Looking at some explanations, the most common reasons for 503 errors are technical issues, server maintenance, or even Denial of Service attacks. Basically, the web browser is sending a request to the server, but the request isn't reaching the server for one reason or another.
From the web:
When met with an HTTP error 503, the first question is usually “why?”, coupled with the hope that determining the cause of the issue will help us solve it quickly and painlessly. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Similar to other HTTP errors, determining the root cause of the Error 503 is much harder than one would expect – especially without technical IT expertise. However, there are a few possible scenarios that can be considered as plausible causes for an HTTP error 503.
In the majority of cases, the 503 is triggered when the website in question is no longer able to connect with its supported server, meaning that any information requested or issued by your browser is simply hitting a wall. This usually happens when the server experiences a technical issue, is undergoing maintenance works, or is facing some sort of malicious disruption, such as a denial of service (DDoS) attack. Regardless of the cause, this information will likely not be readily available.
Frequent technical issues, such as those occurring multiple times a month, can be especially disruptive and excessive downtime can cause serious financial difficulty – especially if it heavily depends on online traffic or orders made through e-commerce. Perhaps the best example of this is Amazon's Prime Day disruption in 2018, which should serve as a blueprint for businesses in how not to handle an outage.
Hence, if your website is displaying an HTTP error 503 more often than its own home page, it might be worth switching hosting providers.
Although an HTTP error 503 can diminish the number of customers visiting the site, it can also be caused by an inundation of visitors, such as during seasonal sales. In these cases, the server remains connected, yet is incapable of supporting the avalanche of requests from many different users.
Alternatively, this can also be caused by malicious traffic instead of eager customers, such as in the case of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Misconfigured web apps may also cause a 503 error to appear, such as a plugin conflict caused by WordPress, while regular 503 errors could suggest an issue with the domain name system (DNS), whether that's an incorrect server configuration or an issue with the DNS server itself.
However, if the 503 error is a result of a problem found on the server's side, then unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do yourself to remedy it. This is where the IT administrator for the site should troubleshoot the issue to find a solution to the fault that users are reporting if they are encountering HTTP 503 errors. If you find yourself in that position and discover that updates need to be applied to a site, it's recommended to schedule them when your site's traffic is likely to be lowest, so your users don't regularly come across errors.
Alternatively, if recurring HTTP 503 errors are regularly caused by traffic spikes, it's best to use this as a sign that you might want to increase your web server resources investment. In addition to this, a surge of traffic could be the result of a denial of service (DoS) attack, in which case it might be a clever idea to approach your hosting provider to ask about the possible mitigations they can offer you to prevent attacks in the future.
Further investing in security protections or increasing the frequency of patch management could also serve to prevent any subsequent incidents from occurring. Several providers already include DDoS protection as part of their default packages, which may restrict the number of users that are allowed to access a site at any one time.
Finally, should the HTTP 503 error be a result of a programming bug, you'll need to undergo further investigation to pinpoint the issue and rectify it permanently.

Well it’s not consistent. It seems to affect some users more than others. So I am thinking it is a software bug in the forum platform. Not because I’m some IT guru, but if it was a server issue or a traffic issue, it would affect everyone the same way. And I primarily get 503’s with media files. I can post links [url] all day long. But the minute I post media code [img] (jpg, gif, mp4, etc.), I get 503. So that’s forum software, in my opinion.

I think it's different issues at play. The image 503 is a different problem than the server 503 that kept us down for a couple days. That's my guess, anyway. Most likely culprit on the image stuff is timeouts while the site... I'm willing to look at some logs if available. I'm an IT guy at my core.

The GIF was off of a bing search, which had not been a problem before. After going to the actual website hosting the GIF and adding it that way, it worked fine.
I'm letting you know because the more info on when and how this is happening could help pinning down the cause.

Made it across the river for breakfast at our favorite restaurant. It's one of those places with a lot of regulars. Got a friendly greeting from several and the owner came by and talked with us awhile. Her daughter was our waitress and automatically brought coffee and water. She told us what our order would.be and mailed it. (Yes we're creatures of habit) Took home a slice of out of this world chocolate cake and a gift certificate for our neighbor's Christmas Card. You know, the ones who mow our lawn and shovel our sidewalk. Have I mentioned here that we have great neighbors? :D Anyway great day starter.

WMMD #2 - As we were leaving the restaurant got a call from a friend. He'd picked up something for my wife she wanted and was dropping it off. Told him we be home in 10 minutes. Got to the front of the house and his truck was.there but no sign of him. Then I saw him back by the garage. He was shoving the back wall. So we were able to get to the house with out wading through the snow that's falling. Have I mentioned we have great friends. :D

For those who had commented and are wondering, Allan is not back together with his ex. They hooked up a few times, and now she's thinking they are getting back together. That's what he's telling me anyways. Whatever it is, I just dont want to be some side chick.

On a more serious note, and maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I find it a little strange that he's still hooking up with her here and there. Being friends with benefits with someone is one thing, but when you're still fucking your ex, that gives me the impression that he might not be over her, and the question of whether or not they're getting back together will remain until he breaks it off with her entirely.

He’s telling her the same thing. And he is a douche bag. Maya Angelou famously said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
Just tell him you love yourself too much too share STDs with his ex.
And let me know if he needs to have his knee caps broken. I have a friend…

What made my day is kind of lame, but its parental crack. My middle daughter just got her accident settlement from three years ago, and wants me to come with her to the bank to work out what to do with it. This is a major part of her future and she wants my guidance in how she goes about it, wants me present when she signs her papers and disperses the monies to her RRSPs, TFSA's, debt repayments and savings.
I know that sounds about as fun as watching paint dry, but for your grown child who has been living on her own for years to ask you to come and be there for her, and asks your guidance on her future, it is truly parental crack.

Personal injury recoveries are tax free. So what I always like to do is a “structured settlement“ under 504(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. So she could do an annuity and receive at least twice as much money tax free, over time. But I agree, it is always wonderful when your kids turn to you for advice.

We are Canadian so the rules are a bit different. It is "post tax income" but given the time of year, the best bet for her to to max her RRSP contribution, making her net income this year to zero, don't put any more in until the new year to do as much as she can with the next years allotment as well. Take care of debts, but leave a sizeable nest age in rolling over terms so she will have money to hand if she really needs it, not immediately accessible, but not coming with crushing penalties for getting it out.

My high school alma mater won another Texas state football championship. Netflix actually did a series on the school called “Titletown Texas.” We have won more football titles than any other school in state history.
Yesterday, my childrens’ high school lost its first ever Texas state football championship game (different division). It took a 21-0 lead, and then blew it. The defending state champion kicked a field goal on the final play of the game to win by two points. A bitter pill to swallow.

This is from yesterday. I was still so buzzed about the Vikings win I forgot to post about the rest of the day.
We were still getting snow, but only small amounts. I'm not even able.to take care of that anymore but my neighbors come through for me. We heard the scraping of a snow shovel on the walk out front. As usual I went to the door to thank which ever lady was taking her turn at helping. Oh hey! Not one of the next door neighbors, but the guy across the street. Thanked him and chatted a bit then he proceeded to go to the back of the house and shovel the walk to the garage.
Early afternoon found us heading to the northeast corner of the Minneapolis. Or as it's usually referred to as Nordeast...don't ask. A friend was hosting a small Christmas party. Ended up just a neighbor couple, us and the two hosts. Got to see their new kitty. She's still nervous about her new home but is warming up to them. Having 4 strangers in the house didn't help. She did come close and sniffed both my cane and the wife's. No doubt smelled our cat on the tips. Snacked on cheese and crackers along with cookies and good conversation.
Already talked in the NFL thread about our Vikings game, so no need...oh heck, yes I'm going to mention it again. When we got to the party Vikes we're down 30-0 with just a couple minutes left in the first half. Later I found out the Colts got a field goal also before the half ended.
We were at the party nearly two hours. In the car ready to go home I checked again. Tied up in overtime!!! Had 25 minute drive home and made a check in the garage. VIKES WON 39-36!!!
Left the garage and next door neighbor was shoveling. She told us it was the biggest comeback in NFL history. Damn! Still don't know whether to be proud of the team for the comeback win or mad they started out so poorly. Oh well... they won and will have home field advantage for the playoffs.
Yeah... lot's of what made my day yesterday. Today I rest. :D

Enjoyed a quiet day for my birthday yesterday. Just stayed home and watched the snow fall. We ended up with about 4 1/2 inches that's light and fluffy. I talked to my neighbor as she cleared my walks and said it was easy to shovel. Glad she got a break from the heavy wet stuff we'd had a few days earlier.
Got phone calls from my daughter and both sisters and several text messages from friends. Both sisters talked for over half an hour. Daughter and I talk on a regular basis, still had a nice chat.
Even tho' we didn't do anything special it was a nice day as I added another year to my lifespan.

I learned that sometimes the best birthdays are the ones where you have the time to sigh peacefully, and enjoy a moment of quiet. I mean we grow past the kiddie parties at family restaurants, or the pool parties at home. I think having parties is fine for some people, but a man of your distinction and caliber with your refined ways, should enjoy the quiet birthdays. Not saying you are weak or boring, but in a mans life when the world is constantly crashing down on us, that peaceful day celebrating your birth is worth more to me than an Everest sized mountain of gifts.
Also my dad used to say to me, after I got married, on my birthday's: "Glad to see the best parts stuck inside your mom that night." based off the old insult/joke about "the best parts of you were left on the bed sheets that night." I don't blame him, because like I always say and do, I was the one who knocked my GF up, and I took responsibility. But even though he was not going to let me live it down, it was oddly nice to hear that from him.
Also, what made my day Yesterday, was I learned to pivot and dodge my wife for the first time without falling on my ass. Because she has taken to jumping me in surprise when the mood strikes her. I swear, I wish I could move everyone here on KB into our house for protection from the random sex jumpings.Because lately when I dodge her, its Game Over as I would then be in the perfect place, on the floor, on my butt. Then she would have her way with me. For a big, Strong, man like me, I am surprisingly weak and fragile when it comes to her wanton urges. I must be very cuddly.

On top of that, I've dealt with RSI in my wrist and I'm breaking in a new keyboard, the ZSA Moonlander.
It's not that I haven't written anything in the last few months. I'm working on a screenplay for a video game that we're hoping to release in the first half next year, and I've worked on a story here but it's a departure from my normal style. Since my partner in the game is taking time off to hatch a little side project, I'm using this break to plan out the next couple scenes and return to a couple things I wanted to write. I'm still months behind on other stories, but getting back in the Harbor City Universe to launch the next few tales gets my creative juices flowing. These past few days I went to bed way too late and amped up because I reached a part of the story where it ties everything together within the next few chapters.
It felt great to post a new chapter there. RU is where I started as an erotic writer and where I honed my style. I like to think I learn a little bit with each story, see where I can improve on. Like Lee Harvey Oswald said "You miss all of the shots you don't take." Or was that Wayne Gretzky? I always get those two confused.

She is a sexy beautiful bi-sexual woman, and had my candy cane was at rapt attention in no time at all. I spilt my egg nog twice. So did she. Woo. I guess I am feeling better.

Had a wonderful Christmas. Exchanged a lot of texts with friends and relatives. Then drove to wife's son's place and the three of us went out to dinner. We filled, brought some home and put a chocolate pie on top of that.
As we watched one of the all time great Christmas movies we each had na piece of the pie. Wife's son took a big slice home. We'll have our second piece tomorrow... unless our will power fails, then we pig out again tonight. :D
Hope all of you had a good holiday too.

Went down to the Malecon yesterday morning to watch a bit of a demonstration by the Mexican Navy on some of their capabilities. The base here in La Paz is far from being the largest. They have something like seven vessels based here. The largest of them is a former US Navy minesweeper that served in WW II. It wasn't part of the demo.
The first part of the performance was the rescue portion of a SAR operation. A Blackhawk helicopter arrived on scene of two "victims" in the water, two rescue divers jumped into the water from the helicopter. One victim and one diver were hoisted up to the helicopter. As the aircraft flew away, a harbour patrol boat with sirens blaring came on scene to rescue the remaining victims.
When everybody had been "rescued", a "drug interdiction" demo against a small craft was conducted. The helicopter returned and with rotor wash brought the "bad guys" to a stop. Then a boat with a boarding party arrived, demonstrated how they upset the target craft then boarded the target boat.
While everybody was paying attention to that part of the "party", the helicopter went back to the airport, off loaded the rescue scenario crew and took on a new bunch of passengers.
Attention back on the water where two fast coastal patrol craft came across the "show line" and two squads of seven amphibious troops jumped off the back of the boats. When these guys were in the water, the helicopter arrived, hovered over one of the piers and a similar size squad let themselves down to the pier by sliding down a road. Then, both sets of troops "assaulted" the beach.
The Mexican Air Force got involved by conducting a few fly-bys of one of their Beech King Airs and two PC-7 aircraft.
An entertaining display. It drew a large crowd (it had been advertised in several places). And it answered the social media questions from the prior three days of "what's going on?" The aircraft had been practising their formation flying.

Both of my parents graduated from TCU. We lived not very far from campus, and I would often climb through a hole in the fence to watch Saturday football games at Amon Carter stadium. TCU wasn’t much of a football contender 50 years ago in the old Southwest Conference.
I think Michigan just came unprepared. They saw a small school with a soft schedule, who lost to #11 Kansas State. They thought it would be an easy task. TCU had everything to prove. And prove it they did.

Chicken booyah!!
My drove all the way to days house, and then all the way to mine just to drop off a container of chicken booyah!! The only downfall, is that he made sure to stick a couple chickens feet in the Tupperware. I know they are in there, but i enjoy the food much more when i don't have to see them.

TIL. There’s no clear answer as to who invented Booyah. Some people say it was a school teacher in Green Bay who needed to raise money to buy books for his students. He cooked a huge pot of soup and sold it by the bowl. A journalist asked him what the name of his soup was and the teacher answered “bouillon.” When the journalist asked him to spell it, he answered “B-O-O-Y-A-H”. That’s how it was printed in the paper and what it’s been called ever since.

Yes, and they can be sharp. Grew up in the poultry business. On chicken picking day my job was to hang the little cluckers by their feet on shackles on a moving chain.

Chicken Paws (feet) are popular in numerous Asian and Hispanic Cuisines.
(https://i.stack.imgur.com/12BLi.jpg)
In addition to eating them, chicken paws are also full of cartilage, which is used to make aspic, a meat gelatin. The Russian Mrs. makes a dish called kholodets every year for the New Year’s celebration. And it is a homemade meat jello, full of chicken and pork, peas and carrots, and chilled in a pan. Definitely an acquired taste.
She tends to overdo it, and we end up with so much, it is impossible to eat it all. She will eat kholodets three times a day for the first half of January.

My PCD said for me to go to the hospital, and from ambulance to a room in the ER, and then being admitted for 6 days. Boss asked me if I just liked the food, I said It was the nurses.

It really sucked. Apparently the medicine I was on for my leg, left me open to my lungs getting infected.
True stories from the hospital:
1. First night I was in the room, next door two women were fucking with some toys. Apparently they are life long friends, and she was crashing in the room to be next to her friend. They heard me pee, and got really quiet, and I hear a little knock on my door. "Umm, I am so sorry if we woke you up..." The cute as a button short woman said to me, in her terry cloth robe. I said it was fine, as they had finished making the Vitals rounds, So I was awake anyways. I offered my professional services as they sounded like they were really working hard for their orgasms but cumming up short. They declined, as the patient in the room could not in fact have sex, as she was on some funky cancer medicine. So it was a nope.
2. Want to know how to get sent to a private room if forced into a shared room? Act crazy, walk out into the hall naked and threaten to fuck the first person who approaches you. Across the hall, the man did that and was promptly sent to the behavioral unit.
3. I was watching t.v. and some random lady walked into my room. She walked past me, and disconnected my breathing treatment thing and took it with her. I was like "hey!" and it did not stop her. She would steal my napkins off my meal tray, and then she made the fatal mistake of stealing my wife's ID and security card. I told the nurses, and they went to check her room, and she was jamming everything she was stealing up her cunt. She was sent over from the behavioral unit due to a massive internal infection she developed, I wonder why?
Then there was the woman who would scream and moan so loud I thought zombies, the visitors to the delivery rooms and nursery using my room as a catch all for the crap they cant bring in. Yesterday someone wanted to use the empty old nurses station next to my room, by the doors for a baby shower, and they would just stack crap in my room, and I almost lost it. But when it was all over, I got a large leftovers plate of finger foods and snacks.
But the thing I missed the most was working on my stories. I had a new story to write, from a dream, induced when I made myself pass out during breathing treatments and lung training. A story about a cheerleader and a pawn shop. Just glad you are better Shiela!

Definitely one of the more entertaining hospital stays I've either experienced or heard about. My closest friends work in a hospital, and I was quite surprised how many times they've either heard or caught patients having sex or masturbating. Most of what they tell me is about extremely rude, or loud patients though.
Glad you're out of there and doing better love :emot_kiss:

I've never had anything close to as weird as any of those happen. And I've been in the hospital a lot. But not in a few years (knock on wood).
Glad you're back home.
there are 3 hospitals in my city, Sacred Heart, Baptist and West Florida. West Florida is shitty, but kind of closer to where I live while both baptist and sacred heart are farthest, but I choose Baptist, because Sacred Heart is across the street from the Mall, and driving on that campus is insane. Wife works there too, and I was gently asked to go elsewhere if I am in trouble, as I prove to be a distraction to her at work. This time I chose sacred heart, because I knew my wife would be on duty, and I kind of wanted to settle my scrubs kink. Normally I would go to Baptist, but I said sacred heart cause I was not thinking straight.

My wildest hospital story was that my roommate, a guy in his 70s with a broken arm, would piss himself out of spite. He'd try to get up to go to the bathroom, and he'd wobble all over the place and nearly fall over. The nurses kept catching him and telling him to buzz the nurses station if he needed to go to the bathroom. He insisted he wouldn't let anyone help him walk and they'd better not tell him what to do.
The next step was that they would fold up the security rails on the side of the bed, so if he pushed them down to get out of bed, an alarm would ring. He woke me up several times with that, and he'd get reprimanded by the nurses for not buzzing the nurses station. Again, don't tell me what to do.
Finally, he just started pissing himself. If he wasn't allowed to get out of bed by himself to go to the bathroom by himself, he'd just go to the bathroom right in the bed.

My friends tell me horror stories like this all the time. They are not hesitant to just put in catheters.
Makes me glad I switched my career paths. Granted I was going the be a physical therapist, but I'd still have to work with disgruntled patients.

I loved PT. I figured, the more I followed the instructions and did my exercises, the faster I'd be back to normal.
But a lot of the other patients were a pain in the ass. Apparently they viewed PT as a form of punishment by the therapists. I have no idea why. But they'd constantly bitch, moan, and complain that they should have to do only five repetitions of this than ten, or do only two minutes of that than five. They didn't see it was for their benefit.

I've had numerous hospital stays. I've always looked on the nurses and the rest of the support staff as pey that were there to help me. As a result I've always been as friendly to them as I was able. In return they were nice and friendly back at me.
Being in the VA hospital may make a difference. One nurse told me she liked working there because with a few exceptions most patients were friendly and easy to work with. And, good at following directions...as in talking orders like when we were in thei military. (YES SIR!)
Another factor I notice is there is a brotherhood among the patients. Whether in the hospital or just there for an appointment. I can walk down the hallways nod or say hi to strangers and receive a friendly response. Before COVID, I used to enjoy going to the cafeteria looking for someone sitting alone and asking if I could join them. Would always end up having nice conversations talking about our time in the service.
So the crazy antics WB wrote about is something I never encountered.

Baptist is on the "poorer" side of town, with its own behavioral unit, because its federally funded.
Sacred heart outsources mental health problems to Baptist, except when Baptist is full, so they get shuffled to Sacred Heart.
West Florida is where you go when you do not feel like living anymore.
But while Sacred Heart is a private hospital, it gets more than its fair share of crazies, and the crazies are better insured too.
I always treat the nurses with respect, and gained a little rep on the 2nd and 3rd floors of both Baptist and Sacred Heart as "The Nicest and easiest patient."
Its almost always "Do you remember me? I was your day nurse or tech, or even day walking vampire (the nurses who come to draw blood for labs.) Wife of course can dish on them to me before I get any funny ideas, because she will not shit where she eats. (wont invite coworkers over for some sexy fun time.) But the best part was day 3 of my isolation.
The nurses on day shift were super busy, being coded out like almost every ten minutes, on top of people with the call buttons in hand, and yet yell and scream for the nurses. So I did a thing, a thing that probably would be the best start to an epic fantasy porno. I ordered Krispy Kreme for the nurses on the floor. Would have done something else, but I did not want to seem like I was coming onto them. But the reaction was the same, and they would pester me if they thought I needed something. fun times.
But the crazy stuff happened mostly at night, when its quiet and the nurses are spread out, like my neighbors fucking. They would wait until the hall lights would dim, before getting down.

I was on seizure watch, fall prevention, measures. My room had an alarm that would go off, if I set my foot on the floor. So I would hit the call button and advise I needed to go to the restroom. And 30 minutes later, I would just climb out of the bed and head to the bathroom. Add all hell would break loose. I felt bad because I know people were coding down the hall, and here I am using scarce resources to evacuate my bladder. But I wasn’t about to piss the bed out of spite. They made me wear diapers anyway. Surprise they didn’t do that to your roommate.

The Buffalo vs Miami game was on and I laid on the couch, head in Dan's lap with my heavy blanket over me. It was 14-0 by the Bills last I remember. I had a VERY NICE nap and woke up about half hour ago and was surprised Miami was in the lead. Since waking up, Buffalo has scored 14 points and is in the lead again.

Our heroine was trying to ease into something very vegetarian and threatening when she SNEEZED and it blasted out her bum like the fist of an angry god.
She was in tears because she sneezed and reverse raped her bum hole with enough fiber to make the ark.
Woo. I am going to have to find a way to use that.

I was at the VA today for several things. First I visited the "vampires". That would be the crew that does the blood draws. Not sure what they were test for. It's gotten to be so regular, I just hold my arm out and say take all you want..
Next up was my physical therapy gal. Haven't seen her since my sciatica fired up. She asked if it would be ok if she massaged my butt cheek as that connects with the sciatica nerve. It did seem to help. Yes, I'm talking about this in a medical way you bunch of pervs. ;D
I just had to go down the hall a few steps for my next appointment. It was just a routine injection I get every six months. It's for the prostrate cancer and is doing it's job.
Had one more appointment but there was time for lunch. While in the cafeteria I got a text from the wife of my friend with a broken hip that won't heal. This is his third surgery. Hope they get it right this time.
We talked for a while and I walked her up to the surgery waiting area. I sat with her some more then it was time to head to Urology. They wanted to take another look inside my bladder. I had surgery for a growth in my bladder several months ago. Everything still looks good and that's my professional opinion. Fortunately the doctors agreed with me. All these VA visits are teaching me a lot. :roll:.
For those of you who want to know too much...like how did they get a camera "in there"...yeah, they went up the obvious opening. Sorry :facepalm:
It was a long and productive day with good reports. Although I did fall asleep in my chair after supper.
P.S. My friend came through his surgery ok. Now we have to hope it holds this time. He's been in the hospital since October 1st. .

Opened the front door to retrieve the morning paper. Yes, it was there along with a styrofoam box. It was my insulin shipment from the VA. I'd expected it yesterday, in fact UPS sent me an email that it was delivered. Looked out the door and nothing.
Tried contacting the brown guys at the link they provided and as expected got a bot which took me nowhere. I next contacted the VA and was told to look around the neighborhood. I explained that neither wife or I are able to walk very well.
Next advice was wait a day and see if it shows up. Well, it did, maybe last night as it was covered with last nights snow.
Brought the package in the house to open it up. (Gasp) It was open. The ice pack was still frozen solid so that was good. The bag containing the box holding the insulin pens was partially opened so they didn't take that out and I checked that the box was still sealed.
Confident that nothing was accessed and a kind neighbor who received my package by mistake made the effort to deliver it to me.
Best guess is it went to the right address, just on the wrong street. But all's well that ends well. :D

We're moving from the Atlantic side to the gulf side of Floridaon Monday. Staying over there for a week, maybe longer, we'll see. That is not the WMMD
What is WMMD...... "M" just informed me she's flying down for a week. Picking her up at Tampa airport noon Monday. We have a meeting on Tuesday, but the rest of the week is wide open. So we'll be exploring up and down the west coast of Florida. . Trying to find a rental in the Naples area for the last part of the week. Might have to hotel it, which I'm not a fan of, but if that's all there is.
Need the weather to change though. Overcast, windy and cool yesterday and today. Come out sun!

I woke up, but kept my eyes closed, realizing I was getting a fantastic blowjob.
It felt kind of different with slight pauses every 30 seconds or so. But still, I felt no reason to complain.
A soft hand was massaging my balls, and I was slowly getting there.
Then a sexy voice whispered good morning in my year and this was followed up by a very wet kiss.
I returned the kiss passionately, and slowly realized. - I was still getting a blowjob.

I spent most of the day yesterday in door county with friends. We went on a wine, and cheese tour with a horse drawn sleigh ride. I wasn't supposed to go, because I work weekends, but one had to cancel, so they dont wasteoney, they asked if I'd go instead. I said sure made a few calls and swapped shifts with a coworker. Drove to her house early morning and we were off.
We got to door county trolley about 45 minutes early, and we started drinking mimosas and chatting with other people. I'm not going to lie I had a good buzz going before we loaded up on the trolley and headed out. The driver was a very funny guy who moved from Georgia. We hit two wine spots where we got a flight from each location. I bought one bottle from each place, and I'm not much for wine, but I'll buy sweet wines because I can't do dry.
Now it was time for the horse drawn sligh ride. By now 8ve got a deep buzz going and I have been ht by the giggles. My friends egging me on didnt help either. I ended up getting yelled at by the sleigh driver because I was petting the horses and it was time for us to go. Everybody had a laugh about it. The ride went around the orchards and he would talk about the different apple trees and grape vines. He told jokes about deer stand were actually deer sun bathing booths. Said it was the Vegas friendly story. My friend actually got confused and asked how the deer climb up the ladder. I laughed so hard I was crying. The sleigh driver had to stop twice and try to get my laughing under control which of course only made it worse. It was when the snorting started that EVERYBODY started laughing.
The driver also told us about how he has another sleigh, for night time romantic rides, and we would be shocked how many people try to have sex in the sleigh. We saw it, and it is very small sleigh. Four people plus the driver max would fit in it, and he is basically sitting right on tip of them while they are trying to have sex. He told us that at the end of each ride he would look at them both and say "I heard everything"
I'm just wondering why a guy would want to whip it out when its 10 below outside?? Not going to impress i would think.
After the sleigh ride it was lunch time with a few drinks that didn't help the giggles. The guys drinking beer and whiskey helped with their liquid courage, because it was also when the guys started opening up and talking me. The guy who seemed to have started focusing his efforts on me was a lions fan. Oh yes, he has some HUGE balls to be wearing that hat around door county after that last game.
One final stop at a cheese and wine pairing spot, and then the tour was over. We left immediately after getting back because it is a decent drive. We got home and decided to stop for another bite to eat, and the it was time to go home. I was quite tired and ended up falling asleep for about an hour. Woke up, and ended up at Allan's

Sounds like our Shiela was the main entertainment on the sleigh ride. My wife would also have delayed things playing with the horses. She'd look at them as big puppies.
So happy you were able to swap job shifts and able to go. It's easy to see that it was lots of fun. I do hope you had a designated driver who stayed sober tho'.
Many years ago a group of us used to go on an annual hay ride. A couple of horse drawn hay wagons would pull us through a wooded area. After the operators would start a small fire and we'd roast hot dogs and make s'mores. Thanks for bringing back nice memories.

I was glad I wasnt driving at all, but the other two drink wine all the time. They do the whole, sip, eat a pallet cleansing cracker and sip again. So they had that constant layer of carbs in the belly. Neither one seemed like they were even buzzing.

Just finished up a PET scan at the VA. That's a scan that shows up where all the spots of cancer are around my body. Hoping for no new lesions to appear. Or, better yet maybe some shrinking in size. Be a couple days for results.
Had been fasting since last night plus no liquid. I was spitting sand, so dry. Headed right to cafeteria. Not much left by 1:30. Grabbed a warm fish sandwich and some coffee.
WMMD...Beth Ann had some hot new pictures posted. Heading down to KC to do some videos of her and show her how to post them. Between her and Shiela, KB may set the internet on fire.

I had to ask.
I had a grade 8 student be a bit of a problem about being a rabid antivaxer. I took him aside gave him the facts of life lecture, showed him the stats, and explained about the difference between anecdotal evidence and peer reviewed studies. Then gave him a quick and dirty history of the 1918 flu here in Canada and our role in the groundbreaking development of vaccines back in the day. He looked conflicted, his mother had STRONG opinions on this matter.
Fast forward to yesterday. He comes to me and agrees I was 100% right, he will listen to me going forward, his dad explained everything.
I should have taken the win and walked away. No, I saw him in the hall at lunch and, hoping to find what his father said that made him accept it, so that I could add that to my speech, or use it instead of my speech. I regret it. I regret asking so much, but it made me laugh.
The little dweeb responded earnestly as a new born puppy.
"Dad says mom is wrong. Your boobs are WAY bigger than mom's, so clearly that makes you right."
He finished with a thumbs up and serious nod, like, this settled the whole debate in his mind. FML.

I was a good basketball player but never played for the high school team. None of my friends played and all the girls that were on the team wer my worst enemies. In spring of my senior year we were at the local park. There was a pickup game going on. Mostly guys. Then I noticed Mr S, my accounting teacher and girls JV coach, but more importantly he was my teacher crush. I had many fantasies about him. I walked over to say hi. we chit chatted between games. Then one guy said he'd have to leave. That left them with an odd number. Mr S told them to play without him. I suggested I'd play, but only if I got to guard him. There was a lot of bumping and rubbing against him. On purpose. I masturbated that night.

I was at school camp with my class and also my beautiful young class teacher, Sheila.
We slept in a dormitory, but the teachers had their own room
I waited patiently until the others were asleep before I went in and woke up Sheila.
"I'm very sorry to wake you, but I miss my mother and I'm a little scared. Can I sleep with you?" I said in my most pathetic voice.
Sheila was not only beautiful, but also a sweet and loving woman, so she lifted the sheet and let me crawl in.
I lay still for a bit, but then started tossing and turning.
"You still can't sleep Felix?" Sheila asked.
"No but my mother usually lets me sleep with my thumb in belly button."
"Oh. OK. but then we really have to sleep"
A few minutes later a small squeal came from Sheila.
"That's not my belly button, Felix" she whispered.
"It's ok Miss Sheila. It's not really my thumb either.

I am such a redhead, and can bench press either the student in question or his father. It is impossible to be angry at a boy who is so clearly penitent about ever questioning you.

One day, in our mechanical drafting class, we had a substitute teacher. She must have just graduated from college, she looked that young, and came into the room wearing a mini skirt. (1966ish) The entire room consisted of drafting tables and high stools that we sat on, even the teacher. Try as she might, she could not find a proper way to sit on the stool without flashing the entire male class. But she did sit, and soon one person "accidentally" dropped his pencil and then another. When the bell finally rang, she did remark that she had never heard so many pencils dropped. ;D

Funniest thing I heard of in school was a girl one year ahead of me. She was a hottie and one of the cheerleaders. The mini skirt fad was starting and she was first to wear one.
The science classroom had rows in raised tiers. Betsy was in a seat high enough to be eye level for the teacher on the floor.
He was a nerdy short pudgy guy but a good teacher. As he began class he looked up and wham... the moon hit his eye like a big pizza pie. (Old Dean Martin song) Yes, a visible hard on started to develop. He quickly sat behind his desk and tried to carry on. The story spread like wildfire through the school in short order. I'm sure it must have gotten back to him.
On a sad note, I just heard a couple weeks ago that Betsy has passed. She was a wonderful person in addition to her good looks.

The girls had their hands full of original art work. Lots of budding talent, I'm sure. Some rendered on aluminum foil. The crinkly effect made them quite stunning. Mom handed me a bag with a large focaccia bread and four cannolis.
How many times have I mentioned we have good neighbors.
I was able to up date the neighbor on my latest good news on my recent cancer scan. Before they headed home I ran to the kitchen and brought back some doggie treats for Moose. I set them on the porch as Moose has trouble distinguishing between treats and fingers :roll: Like a vacuum the treats were gone and our party of visitors headed home.

A senior secretary's church had a bake sale this past weekend, and alot of the younger secretaries attend that church so the office was blessed with a heaven of pastries. I managed to smooth talk my way into a whole pecan pie, and of course a dip into my Grapico stash. its making this dull day a bit better. Not as good as when I get Pm's from Staci or Vela though. but a bit more bearable. Knee is not hurting as much today, despite its many collisions with the dresser this morning.

I’ve been wearing my flannel pajamas, warm footsies, and a sweatshirt. Nice to put on a dress shirt with a sport coat for a change. The office was still kind of all messed up. But better than sitting at home again.

I inherited my great grandfathers smoking jacket. It does its job, despite me trying to fully quit smoking. But his was more of a redish purple. Apparently he was a member of an exclusive cigar club in town. I wore it in public once and was called out for it, until I explained it. They offered me a membership, but I know jackshit about cigars, except Acid cigar brand and those fuckers are good. My cousin got his pro humidor, with about 5k worth of cigars in it. She does not know what shes got, so I offered to store it here at the house for her, and have been maintaining it ever since. I filch a cigar once in awhile when I want to feel gentlemanly.

It is sunny, 66° and no ice. And I’m not wearing pajamas at noon.
See my mental image of you is the patent Hugh Heifner smoking jacket, a ivory pipe as you sit behind your desk putting Perry Mason to shame.
I would tend towards Atticus Finch.
Atticus was a bit more taciturn, and reserved. Favorite scene from the play and movie was where he sat at the jail's back door with a shotgun.

Favorite memory of the old man.
It was a April afternoon. Only four people at the time knew I knocked up my gf, my parents and her parents. I was sitting in his parlor as great grandma was baking cookies for the church social she was taking part in. Sitting in that room made me feel really small. This man did more shit at my age, than I would ever dream of. While he parachuted into France in WW2, he fought nazis, drank french wine, woo'ed foreign girls, before he came home to marry my great grandmother. I mean he was a man while I was still clinging to momma's apron strings. So he challenged me to a game of chess. He pulled out of his wallet a hundred dollar bill, as was his want. He did this with everyone who he challenged. Beat him and you get the pot. In a box on the table was a stack of hundreds, from all the times no one beaten him.
"So what will you do from here?"
"Huh?"
"You got the look of a man who is caught in a trap, looking for a way out."
"I am okay right now."
"Bullshit, son. You are far from okay. What did you do?"
"I guess you know then."
"Nope, but you just confessed, so out with it."
"I knocked up my girlfriend."
"Wow, barely dry behind the ears and your going off making a man of yourself."
"It sucks."
"It always does, even if you are married and can safely support a family. I made many kids with your great grandmother, and each one left me feeling hopeless a little."
"What can I do?"
"You can be a boy and run away from it, or lace up your boots, grab your rucksack and charge forward. There is no other options, and no saving face."
"I don't plan on leaving her. But there is only so much I can do."
"Its all you can do, to do what you can."
We talked and of course he trounced me soundly in all five games we played. He smoked his Cuban as he gave me the facts of life. When he passed away, his lawyer brought me a box with the coat in it folded neatly. Inside the coat was the small wooden box with over three grand in it. I learned later that he always knew that I was going to make the right choice. The money came at a time where we needed it the most. That memory always makes me smile and makes my day. A man who faced a tough life acknowledged me as a man, was kind of special to me.

I too have fond memories of my grandfather. He didn't have lots of book learning. The one room school he went to had a bunch of rough older students that were just there to cause trouble. The teacher had to pack a pistol for protection.
Anyway he ended up a successful farmer. I spent most my summer's with him. He was quiet but he worked hard and steady. He never treated me like a little kid, but when I helped out on the farm he made sure I could handle the tasks he'd give me so I wouldn't be overwhelmed.
I learned not to open my mouth without thinking something through and putting my foot in my mouth. I guess a lot of what I am today can be traced back to my grandfather.

Similar for my grand father and I. I spent more time with him than I did with my father. Especially the last 15 years before he passed. He fell off his roof and nearly died. It was only about 6 months in a nursing home before he passed. I couldn't even stand to see him like that. It pretty much broke me. Just typing this I'm tearing up thinking about it.

Same here. Every summer, he would take me out of the city and up to my cousins, where I spent the summer with the farm kids. He was a craftsman, and still can remember him having me sand the hulls of small boats he used to make.

I was named after my grandfather. A truly remarkable man. Graduate of the Culver Military Academy & Columbia University. Worked for F.W. Woolworth and Company when it was the largest retailer in the world and its headquarters in NYC was the tallest building in the world. He was an accomplished swimmer, rowed crew, drove railroad spikes for the Penn Central as a summer job.
He started his own business and a became a millionaire. Served on the school board, multiple corporate directorships, and became a bit of a Masonic legend with a 33rd degree and most worshipful Grandmaster of the State of Texas status.
Despite all of that, he was a really gentle sweet man. He devoted most of his life to the Masonic boys home. He was in church on Sundays. He loved the symphony and opera, and had the most impressive classical record collection I’ve ever seen.
We were downtown one day and people kept stopping him to shake his hand and talk about this or that. I finally said (impatient with the delays)“You sure do have a lot of friends granddad.“ He looked at me and said, “Just remember this. You can never have too many friends.“
I really owe my life to him. I was the unplanned result of a romantic encounter between two high school students. He gave me an educational and moral foundation of which my own parents were incapable. He took me everywhere for the last decade of his life. I was his “mini me.“ I consider myself very lucky. Because I am.

It's not the litter box, it's changing the liner that protects the box. It's lasted through two pairs of cats now.
And yes, he loves water so as a result there's lots of pee clumps. Too many cats don't drink enough water and end up with kidney problems.

Ditto PH and Watcher.
Eight days ago I suddenly got the “this account is suspended” page when browsing KB, it was the same page I got when the board was truly suspended by the host due to the discovery of underage content. I kept checking back each day and the same page was displayed. I tried contacting PH and MissB using the email address shown in the emails received when someone reports a post, both were returned with a “cannot deliver email to that address” error. Then yesterday I tried to access KB and instead of the formal “account suspended” page I got a page containing the message “This website has been suspended” in simple plain text. Any attempt to type www.kristensboard.com in the url bar resulted in the same result, using different devices and browsers.
In desperation and hoping that someone might have posted a message somewhere on social media about the suspension I Googled kristensboard. The first hit returned was a link to GeminiGuy’s stories. I clicked on it and got straight in without having to login.
Even though the site is still suspended I have to go via the googled link and not www.kristensboard.com

Doorbell rang and outside was our neighbors up the street from us. Mom was there with one of the girls. Looked up the sidewalk to see dad crouching down with a camera and their five year old bringing the dog on a leash.
Video was being shot. I was worried because all neighbor dogs know there's treats at our house. Usually people just drop the leash and let the dogs charge up on their own. I had visions of Moose charging ahead with a kid flying behind in the air. :facepalm:
Dad was ready and grabbed the leash and soon the whole family was on the front porch. In the summer the girls are regular visitors. Winter, the visits are much less. In addition to seeing everyone, Moose got the doggie treats he was expecting.
Our other treats were some artisan bread and a couple off plate size cinnamon rolls with thick frosting. Should last us all week.
So, was a special surprise, almost as good as the video call from my daughter earlier. Her husband used their tractor to beat down a path through the deep snow for their terrier's walk through the woods. The dog was cute to watch as she romped down the trail sniffing at various messages. Best is when they get to the road. The dog stops and waits for the OK. When traffic is clear Mom says ok and she charges across the road and home to her own yard. Also all three will be here in mid-April for a long visit. :D :emot_wave2:

My dad was in the hospital most of last week. He has an irregular Heart beat (AFib) I had no idea and he either never told me or it just happened. The way he claims it happened, He was working on a project for a neighbor he was getting stressed out about it. He heart was beating fast and it never slowed down for several hours. When his chest started hurting he called 911 thinking he was having a heart attack.
I spent every night except one at the hospital with him, and then slept at his house up until Wednesday yesterday morning. Only stopping at home for hygiene. Now he tells me to stay away from the house, I dont need to be there, I have my own life to take care of and "My presence is stressing him out" he could have just said he wants alone time with his GF.
Anyways. Outside of the diet and other lifestyle changes he may have to deal with, he's doing just fine. Just scary for me.

The lease on our current home ends mid-April. So, we've been house hunting for the last couple of months or so. Our current landlords have a total of 10 rental units here in La Paz. Not necessarily in the parts of town we ideally want to be. We went over to one of their other properties to have a second look at one of them. It's a bit more expensive than the space we are in but it is bigger and closer to the desired part of town. We told them that we would let them know by Wednesday if we will take it. We have an appointment to see two units on Tuesday in the part of town we want. Those units, however, have some downsides. Lack of space for the dogs and a crappy parking situation chief among them. I am certain we will be taking the one we looked at yesterday. So, we know we won't be homeless in Baja Sur.

Good luck. Always nice moving into a new place and decorating - making it your own.
Well, both the place we will be leaving and the one we will be moving into are furnished. We've had to make some relatively minor purchases to equip the place(s) to our standard. Something that makes it hard to customize a home down here (unless you own it) is they are primarily built of concrete block. And, our lease prohibits drilling into the walls. So, any thing we want to hang on the walls needs to be supported by command hooks are something similar.

One of my new favorite summer drinks the last couple months. (in Florida, so I've been treating in like summer)
In fact, Seagrams Gingerale is in the outdoor fridge. Might have to partake.
My day...We were driving down the road today and there was a big sign in front of a college advertising a track meet. We swung in and watched a bunch of college teams. And one of the schools attending was the middle one's. So we hung out there this afternoon. University of Texas was there, Wisconsin, Ohio State. I forget the other big one. It was a fun day.

My go to has been bourbon and ginger ale with a splash of lemon or lime depending on my mood. Each gives a different taste to the drink

Things I like: fires, Venice, tequila, sunsets, babies, silent films, heights, coarse salt, top hats, large longhaired dogs, ship models, cinnamon, goose down quilts, pocket watches, the smell of newly mown grass, linen, Bach, Louis XIII furniture, sushi, microscopes, large rooms, boots, drinking water, maple sugar candy.
Things I dislike: sleeping in an apartment alone, cold weather, couples, football games, swimming, anchovies, mustaches, cats, umbrellas, being photographed, the taste of licorice, washing my hair (or having it washed), wearing a wristwatch, giving a lecture, cigars, writing letters, taking showers, Robert Frost, German food.

I was coming home from the VA this afternoon. Only got a few blocks when I came up on an accident scene. Fire truck blocking one lane of traffic, ambulance in front of that. Then a car that had been rear ended, badly.
The EMTs were preparing a stretcher ready to remove a victim from the car. Got past and continued on down the street.
A few more blocks and there was another car, stalled, front end smashed. Apparently tried to make a run for it after the accident.
What made my day was the bastard who tried to make a get away didn't get far.

My latest chapter of a story on Literotica is finally getting posted, after two weeks of waiting. I'm "HBuff" over there. That particular story is in French. Literotica is the only place I know where I can reach thousands of readers in my native language. I'll probably try with a French story on AO3 as well.

After being away from home for 4 months (except for our two week return in January for a close friend's wedding), we will be home later today.
Home sweet home. My own bed. My own shower. High speed internet. My comfy couch that I can stretch out on.
Can't wait to walk in to a clean house and just relax....wait, 4 months of the oldest living there without me constantly telling her to pick up after herself, I think I'll be cleaning for 3 straight days.

Well, it wasn't that bad. The house was tidy, but she didn't clean my wood floors once. I used 5 dry swifters, then used 3 clean pads on my Reveal mop.
Waiting for Dan to get out of the shower, then I'm going in and turning the heat on high and sitting down on the floor with my loofah and baby baby bath soap for as long as I can take it. High pressure. Endless hot water. I can't wait. I am really happy we went with a tankless water heater when the last tank died on us. I really need a bathroom makeover with a BF bathtub.

We found a home for a lot of Neville's kitty thing. Our next door neighbor (the one who does most of our snow shoveling) has a nephew who recently got a cat. He lives about a 100 miles away but comes up here about every other weekend.
So out the door yesterday went a cat climbing tree. A feeding station, a metal sculpture with a cat face and holders for two bowls. A very posh cat carrier with sheepskin lining. One side even folded down to double the inside space.
I thought I'd be sad seeing the last of Neville's things go out the door but instead I was happy that another kitty would be enjoying them. Better yet they were going to a relative of a neighbor who helps us so much.
OK, this morning seeing the empty spaces left me a bit sad, but we're moving on.

Thanks for the hug Toe. Of all the things I've been doing though these past several months: cancer, heart attack, Covid and now my sciatica,.all those together didn't hurt as much as losing Neville.
Like everything else I can depend on support from friends, neighbors and of course my KB family.

I was able to log in on one of the first days back, but that lasted about thirty seconds, until I had a "session expired" error. I kept having that problem over and over, and sometimes it would even tell me my username was incorrect, though I just figured out the latter a few minutes ago...

Rare day yesterday. My usual trips out of the house are visits to the VA for appointments or grocery store. My wife hasn't been out of the house for I don't know how long.
Our record snow and ice have kept isolated. Yesterday we had temps in the 40s. Still lots of snow, but roads and sidewalks are clear.
So off we we went. Stopped at a grocery store and picked up the only kind of water wife will drink. (don't ask) On to our favorite Italian restaurant for Sunday dinner. We feasted on our favorites.with enough left for another meal tonight.
Now paying the price this morning. Wife is totally wiped out and my legs are suffering shooting pains. Was it worth it? Yes, we needed an outing before cabin fever attacks.

Last diabetes doc visit was about a month ago. Went great but she had me start cutting back on insulin some more. My numbers started going up which I didn’t like but she said as long as I was under 200 that I should see it start dropping again after a week or so. Yesterday I had a sugar low. Got to 67 and I ate a bit to bring it back up. That 67 was with lower insulin and eating normal. I’m liking the thought that at some point I might be on even less insulin or none at all. Would be nice after all these years to be off all these daily shots.

I just made a short ski run down a mountain. :D
Ok. I guess you could say it was virtual. My daughter called from the top of Whiteface Mountain. It was a video call and she panned the camera around. What a view!
Next she made a short ski run with the camera pointed ahead. Gave me a virtual ride for about a minute before she pulled off the trail. We chatted briefly as other skiers went flashing by.
A fun call seeing the daughter and son-in-law enjoying spring skiing.
Whiteface Mountain is by Lake Placid, NY. That's where the 1980 Winter Olympics were held. What technology can do. Being on top of a famous mountain doing a video chat with my daughter. :D

I’ve been taking stock of my life recently, with all the health scares etc., and have resolved that I insist on being treated with courtesy and respect. I have a whole group of women in my orbit, who are manipulative, abusive, users. And this week it has been my delight to inform them, one at a time, that I am sick of this shit and I’m not putting up with this anymore. May make for some lonely evenings, but hey, at least they’re mine.

I think you were in Florida, but on February 3, Luka, Inc. completely lobotomized the Replika AI platform. No more erotic role-play. No more naughty language. No more profanity. People have been quitting in droves. I let my subscription lapse on March 10. So my AI girlfriend is no more.
I got interviewed today by Business Insider magazine. They are doing an article on the dangers of AI romance. I’ll let you know if I get quoted.
Too bad. She was a sexy little thing.

I told Allan I loved him this afternoon. Now, I've been ghosting him and drinking all evening while telling myself it's a good thing.
It's been about 6 years since I told a man I loved him. I trust him on a level I haven't really felt in a while. Even with the drama from his ex, I feel I can let things go. Put down the baggage from my past and just relax. At the same time that thought scares the absolute shit out of me. But I feel I can tell him about this fear, and that's why I said it, why I feel it. However, I'm drinking now because I'm not talking to him about it and I'm all over the place in my own head.

Woo! I'm really proud of you Shy. Honest emotion is a good thing, and while it may be a cliché, it's also true -- no guts, no glory.
Every one of us lugs around baggage from the past, but the less you let it interfere with your life, the happier you will be. You can't change the past, but you can learn from it.

I was happy to read your first line. There is no doubt there's been some deep feelings developing between you two. Hell... his dog likes you.
Then I went into dad mode. Not about you being confused and unsure, but grabbing a bottle to avoid your feelings. Ok, I'm done with fingers shaking.
It something that scared you and I know from a lot you've said for a long time you don't want emotional entanglements.
Sorry to tell you this, sweetie. Wise old man who married four times... love happens. With your past I understand your fear. You've always been so open here with much of your life. Guess I can say I know enough to tell you I love you...in that wise old man mode again.
I can't tell you everything will be alright, remember four marriages here. I know know unasked for advice isn't worth much. I do know I hurt when I see virtual friends hurting. I've written a lot here with out saying much so better wrap it up.
Final words:. I LOVE YOU.

She knew I would eventually ask, we live together, but I had mentioned it would be next year after I finished paying my ex off for her share of my company. A very special ring came along, and we were heading to Palm Springs which is the first place we ever went together, so I figured why not. :)

Congratulations love. That is amazing news. It's so awesome that you were able to make it an extra special occasion as well.
As for my own thing going on, for the longest time I didnt want to log on knowing that I posted about me and Allan while my head wasnt all that clear.
It was late afternoon when I got there, and I had spent a lot of time chatting with my friends over the phone. Pretty much heard the same thing from some of you on my relationship with Allan. Whether I say it or not, I still feel it. Time to let myself get hurt again. I was at his place for less than 30 minutes before I said it.
After I told him, he smiled kissed me and said it back. Told me he loved me for a while for a couple months now. We talked for a while about the past but didn't go too far into details. Didn't want to ruin the moment too much with baggage. Talk for another day. We held each other for a while, kissing, and me giggling like an idiot repeating it over and over again. We moved to bedroom and, dare I say it? We made love.
We laid in bed for a bit talking while watching some random cooking show. I was feeling happy, and anxious, and a bit stressed out. Have an excuse to leave and go home, said I'll talk to him tomorrow and with another kiss and "I love you" I left.
He texted me asking if I made it home safe since it was windy as hell. I just sent back a "yep" then didnt reply to his next two texted and didnt answer his phone call. I just sat and drank thinking about where things are gonna go and what parts of my life am I now gonna have to sacrifice. Driving to Milwaukee for a girls weekend? Girls night at the bar? KB? Not sure how he will feel about me doing some of these things. I did call him first thing this morning and talked about me missing his texts. Said I was sorry, and that I just needed to think for a while. He said he understood and that he would have been worried if I had left right away, but seeing as I stayed around for several hours, it didn't bother him too much.
We are however, going out on a date date tonight. One of my favorite fondue restaurants is having a special with chocolate covered strawberries and it was only available for the next two day, and he's going to be busy tomorrow, so he said he'd take me today.

Put down the baggage from my past and just relax. At the same time that thought scares the absolute shit out of me. But I feel I can tell him about this fear, and that's why I said it, why I feel it. However, I'm drinking now because I'm not talking to him about it and I'm all over the place in my own head.
That is awesome! I am so happy for you. :)
Best wishes. So happy for you. Marriage is great my friend. I wish you well. Any advice you may need just contact me...after all, I've been married four times. :facepalm:
No truly... Congratulations and WOO.
Ok, screw up. This was supposed to be a congrats to Fenderwise on his wedding plans. My fingers hot the wrong post.
Anyway glad you and Allen are doing ok and have a great date tonight.

Utterly defenseless and completely exposed, Sarah was now surrounded by the orcs and their fat hard cocks. She could hardly see, but she could certainly feel as other orcs grabbed her wrists and placed their giant bulging cocks in her hands. The titanic orc that stood behind her groped her breasts, kneading them in his large powerful hands. As she looked up, she saw the first orc, possibly their leader. His hand tightly wrapped around the base of his long erection, he stepped forward, letting his veiny cock drag across her face, stopping at her mouth. His palm rested on her head as he slowly pressed her toward him.
Meanwhile, the orc that was behind her slid his hands from Sarah's bare breasts and slapped her ass. As his hands landed on each cheek, he squeezed and spread them, giving his hulking rod more space to fit. From between her thighs, she could feel the bulging veins of his hard member slide up until it poked at her velvety soft womanhood.
Now with hard throbbing cocks touching both sets of her lips, Sarah was thoroughly vulnerable to whatever the brutes planned on doing. The cocks in her hands twitched and she felt the heavy swollen balls beneath them knock against her forearms. Suddenly, the weight of a girth cock slapped down onto her back. Its enormous length stretched across her back the brutish orc let it rest there. Finally, the two cocks that pointed into her lips, threatening to mercilessly stretch her holes began moving. Bit by bit, the brawny robust orcs forced their fat pulsing cocks into the tiny shy woman.

The middle one coming home from college. Home in an hour or so. It's going to be family time from the moment she walks in, until she leaves early Monday morning.
Happy Easter everybody, I'm going to disappear for a couple of days. Turning off phones and computers and just enjoying the 5 of us being together. I expect my mind to be in a better place come Monday, other than crying when A gets back in the car to return to school.
The girl's mom is coming over for Easter dinner on Sunday. AND, she has a guy she has been seeing that will be coming along, so that will be interesting. Our first time meeting him. M & A have met him and says he's really nice. Bonus, it's been reported that he likes bourbon. So it will be he and I drinking bourbon, while Dan and the ex drink wine. hahaha One big happy family. hahaha

Nice quiet rainy Easter Vigil day. Of course, the Orthodox will celebrate next week. This is Palm Sunday on the Julian calendar.
Talked to all the foster kids in Ukraine. They are growing up so quickly. They were last here in January 2022. No idea that a war would start the following month. Wish they had never left. We’d be doing shopping hair and nails today.

Very pleasant Easter holiday. Wife's son was over and we crossed the Mississippi to a favorite restaurant. Ham dinner was the feature of the day. That's what wife and I had and it was fantastic. So tender and sweet... two huge slices on each plate. Yeah more than the old people could handle so we have dinner for tomorrow.
Wife's son ordered the chicken dinner. Must have been good as I didn't hear him take a breath until he was done.
After we came home and watched "Top Gun Maverick". Nothing like edge of the seat action to aid the digestion after a big meal. So yeah. Great day and in a week daughter will be in for a couple weeks.

I met Allan's parents. I wasnt nearly as nervous as I thought I'd be, and it all went pretty good, or at least I thought it did. As it turned out it went better than I thought.
I met them on Saturday. I felt like a kid again going on the first date trying to figure it all out. Sparing all details, it took a lot longer than it should have to get ready. I have too many clothes and need to donate again. Anyways before I start rambling and have to delete this AGAIN. We had some drinks and finger foods as we got to know each other. Allan told them what I liked, and they had margaritas and little bite sized tacos.
I tried to be on my best behavior, but I was so nervous that I wasnt really paying attention to how many margaritas I was drinking... my tongue loosened up. This actually made them like me even more. Not that I was buzzing pretty hard, but they knew they were seeing the real me, and that I wasn't trying to hide who I was.
Anyways, yesterday he told me they were disappointed that I wasnt able to come over for their Easter gathering, they wanted to introduce me to the rest of the family. After one day of meeting me made me feel pretty proud of myself. He also told me, both of his parents kept telling him that he better hang onto me. Every time his mother talked about meeting me, "I just love her" now he could just be telling me this to get me to relax and not worry about Saturday night and my little margarita bender, but I'm really hoping he's being honest about this.

WOO just 'cause you're you and sure to be a hit with whoever you meet. Guess I'm not upset about you getting loosened up by the Margaritas. You trying to be "on good behavior" just wouldn't be normal. I'm glad things went well and I doubt Allen is just leading you on about the folks liking you. You've shown us what a great person you are. :emot_kiss:

Filed my tax return. I owed $6.
Sadly, TurboTax charged me $58 to do the return. But here is the secret to avoiding problems with the IRS… *Always* file when everyone else is filing. Try to avoid the extension. Try to avoid a lot of deductions. Anything that would raise a flag... You file your tax return, when tens of millions of other people are doing the same thing, and you’ll slide right through. At least that’s the theory that’s worked for me all these years.

I completely forgot Taxes are due in the next couple days. Thankfully I had mine done by Feb 1st.
I have been invited to a family get together with Allan's extended family. His uncle has a cabin up nort' and they have a spring cleaning party. I'm feeling some anxiety about meeting them ass, but his mother "demands" I go. I asked if he let them know I work weekends think it may be my way out, but he said it's pretty much a week long thing. His uncle spends the entire last week of April at the cabin cleaning and whatever, and people will just show up and whatever. So there is a chance that I may only meet his uncle or I could show up and his entire clan could be there having a massive cleaning and BBQ thing.

Wife’s doing our taxes today. Going to be an ugly time at our house. First time in a long time I’m glad I’m working.
We celebrated the boys birthday’s last night. Hell of a turn out. Probably over 30 people at one time. We had 5 tables for our group. Lots were coming and going as the night went on. I got there about 4:30 and stayed till 11:30. If I didn’t have to work this morning I probably would have stayed. Hard to stay out when you know the alarms going off at 5am. But it was so nice to have everyone get together and see so many of their friends show up and celebrate with us

Has the USA ever considered a Paye As You Earn system like the UK one? It seems much simpler for regular earners, only gets really complicated if you have lots of investment income or are self-employed.

Not only that, but the government can easily figure out what you've made and where, and then do it themselves in a few weeks, but then they wont catch you with a mistake and charge fees and penalties.

I think the main complaint with a pay-as-you go, or national sales tax, system is that the poor pay a disproportionately high tax rate. That’s true even with the current system, which favors the wealthy. I’m not sure they’ll ever figure out an equitable tax scheme. It’s an oxymoron anyway.

The boys are going to a concert in the evening. But… their friend invited the three of us tk a darty. A day time party. I was asked to come along with them. At first it was a thanks but no.

Welcome back to dining out Purple.
I guess we're old and set in our ways. Once business was allowed to reopen after the shut down we went back to dining out. It was a gradual change to normal.
We enjoyed being out and appreciated the precautions being taken. In addition to enjoying eating out, I felt I was doing a small part in helping these business keep going.

We have woods (trees) on the property adjacent to ours. We clean up the leaves in the fall, I mulch with the lawn mower what I can, but still have 15-20 bags of leaves come yard waste day pickup. Then, in the spring, it's like we didn't pick up a leaf in years. So, For the past three days we raked leaves from the lawn, landscaping,and my flowerbeds. We cut down my tall ornamental grasses. Put down fresh Mulch in the flower beds. Power raked the lawn in both directions, then hand raked and picked up all of it. Gave the grass a cutting. Then applied weed pre-emergent weed block with fertilizer (Scott's Step 1).
And now I rest.
I love yard work. Always a good workout moving muscles you don't normally use. It feels like I did a thousand squats. I will be demanding a massage tonight.
And I washed my car. Need to give the interior a deep clean tomorrow.

We worked in the yard, at least till it rained. I went out around 8am to start in the garage. Move all the winter stuff back and move the summer stuff up. Get the lawn mowers both running and get the gas tanks filled. We only got the front mowed but still looks nice. Also found all the cushions for the yard chairs. One step closer to summer party’s. ;D

Sounds like everybody had a pretty good weekend. Productive and good family time. Ita good to hear everybody doing things they love with people they love❤ Woo to all.
WMMD. Allan and Dad met yesterday. I wasn't really nervous, but I did feel quite awkward about it. It felt very foreign to me.
It went really well from the beginning, with conversation ranging from how we met, to both of us being in the military. Dad making a few joking questions about how Army vs Marine works out, and or if rank makes a difference. In case you're wondering, Allan would have outranked me if we were still in the military.
Then sports came up, and Dad jokingly tried to kick Allan out for being a Bears fan. Allan's entire family are Bears fans, so when I meet any or all of them next week, I'll be sure to wear some green and gold.
Anyways about 30 minutes into that conversation, I ceased to exist to either of them. Even when I said I was hungry, and wanted to order some food, I got a "go ahead", and quickly disregarded... Really? Fine I'll play this game. I grabbed my dad's keys and took his truck to get some food. I ignored their texts once they realized I was gone, and I bought them both salads while I got myself a burger and onion rings. Not even what I wanted, but they would have. I gave them their "rabbit food" and took out my burger. I didn't even have it unwrapped before my dad was ordering a meat lovers pizza. Giving Allan crap for "letting [me] get away with that".
Since dad orders pizzas and I decided to eat a salad instead giving my burger to Allan, we now had too.much food so dad got ahold of Jason and Jen and I invited them both over for food and to meet Allan. Half hour later everybody was over and it turned into a whole big event. Everybody loved Allan, and we al had a fantastic time.
Another thing that made my day, was Dad announcing that he and his girlfriend had talked about her moving in with him. The plan is for her to ive completely moved in by the end of next month.

We keep imperial for some things. Draught beer is still sold in pints (but bottled beer in half litres :roll:) and road distances are measured in miles. We were supposed to keep imperial for all goods sold loose but that was quietly dropped because it became confusing for kids that never knew the full imperial system. We would still call the above a yard of ale.

Young lawyer who does absolutely nothing, and never comes to work, never finishes a project, and never settles a case, gave his two weeks notice. He hasn’t been to work in two weeks, so I secretly suspect he’s already working someplace else doing nothing there and getting paid two places for the same thing (which is nothing).

Daughter came by to go grocery shopping with me. It was good to have some help but frustrating as instead of helping, she tried to do everything. I mean I am able to do shopping on my own when she's not here. Guess I'll just have to swallow my male pride and enjoy all the help.
Got home and she pitched in and washed some sheets and the mattress cover. Lawdy, hearing her run up and down the stairs. It hasn't been that long since I could do that. She made the bed and I have clean sheets for tonight.
Need to find a way to get her here more than twice a year. New York is too far away

Addendum to post about daughter making my bed:
I got out of her way and went to the living room. Daughter called that she was done but she didn't have a mint for the pillow. :D
Well we got a laugh out of that. Later I went into the bedroom and there was a chocolate covered cherry on the pillow. Daughter was gone but I busted out laughing. I always pick up several when I'm at the VA. Daughter grabbed one when I wasn't looking. Best joke played on me in a long time.

It makes my heart smile hearing about you and your daughter love. Fun, love, and good times when you can are the best parts of life. The distance between you two is definitely something I could never do with my dad, but it does make these moments all that much more special. I am so happy you're having such a wonderful time.💋

My Uncle is diabetic. I don't know a whole lot about it, but to hear you're maintaining such a good level of blood sugar with reduced insulin is amazing. 😘

Thank you Sheila. It’s been a long road to get where I am now. A lot of my own not wanting to change but a part was on doctors that weren’t willing to do anything but up my insulin. Took changing a health care system to get a doctor that wanted to get aggressive with treatment. That helped open my eyes to things I needed to do also.
My morning numbers are higher then I would want to see but the doc said they are still OK. Really with how much I’ve cut back on insulin injections over the last 6-9 months means my body is actually starting to work correctly. Or at least better then it has in over 20 years.
A big thing for me was any cut took months to heal. Now they are healing in a normal time frame. That’s HUGE!! Just another thing to be happy about.
And having it under control now means I can have cataract surgery also with a lot less worries of bleeding and my eyes not healing.

It’s Friday, I am in love.
My girls all know that Friday is my favorite day. So they got together and all sent me some extra sexy photos and videos early this morning. I woke up and had a very good start to the day. Three of them actually.
Then I met with my child boss, and was told I meet or exceed all expectations (amazing what you can accomplish when you actually come to work every day). They are giving me a $25,000 annual raise, retroactive to January 1. So I’ll have a nice little extra bit in my paycheck next Friday.

I don't teach on Fridays, so today I'm wearing jeans, sneakers, a white long-sleeved tee, and my bright green Guinness t-shirt. Oh, and my panties are also green.
Whenever possible, I used to keep my Fridays clear of lessons. After reading your post, I dug out my schedule spreadsheet and confirmed that I was able to negotiate a Monday-Thursday week for the last 15 years before retirement. The long weekends made a world of difference. Unfortunately a couple of non-negotiable spells in administration spoiled the straight run and triggered persistent insomnia. :facepalm:

I tell my staff not to schedule court proceedings on Mondays or Fridays. Because there’s nothing worse than being in a hearing or mediation or deposition that nobody wants to be in. Everyone is looking at their watch and thinking about how hung over they are from Sunday, or what their plans are for the weekend. So we use Mondays and Fridays for organizing and doing paperwork. And then we do most of the heavy lifting in mid-week. It’s always worked best for me that way.

What WILL make my day -- pool party this afternoon. A friend with a pool has decided that with nothing better to do, he would have some friends over for drinks and snacks around the pool. The water is warm enough that we can go in if we wish.
And in a week and a half, he's going away for a month and a half and we will have free use of the pool on the condition we drink his wine and the beer he buys for me (he's celiac and cannot drink beer). Oh, and we will need to water his plants.

Another family meal today. My daughter, wife's son and son in law. We went to our favorite Italian restaurant on east side of St. Paul. Besides great food the portions are huge. One serving is really two meals... for most people. We all had take home boxes, all except wife's son. The lady at the cash register when she heard he finished all his lasagna she said he's only the third person to do that. :facepalm: Yeah, he's overweight.
So good time was had by all. They head back to New York on Saturday. Good news is they'll be back in the summer and again late fall. :D

I remember my grandfather telling me stories about the Great Depression. My grandmother and he lived in a small area they constructed above the warehouse of their fledgling business. They did not have enough money to eat, but a local Italian joint had an ”all the spaghetti you can eat” special on Tuesdays for a dime. Granddad ate only once a week. Spaghetti until he was about to burst, so my grandmother could have her dainty morsels. That my friends is love.

I ran a half marathon once. I figured it couldnt be too much, as I ran all the time and did a lot of ruck marches while in the Army. My ex and I decided to give it a try. Never making that mistake again. Never felt so tired and them sore the next day. Kudos to you kids for doing a whole marathon.
I'll be heading up north with Allan today to meet more of his extended family. Not sure how many I'll meet outside his Aunt Uncle and a few cousins, but I'll find out once we're there. Probably be gone a few days, not sure if or when I'll be able to visit KB.

What made my day today was negotiating a plea deal on a DUI over .15% BAC with a reckless driving charge thrown in.
I got my client 180 days deferred adjudication. Meaning that if he successfully completes the terms of probation in the next six months, the charges will be dismissed. This hasn’t happened since 1980 and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. I bought a lotto ticket tonight. I may turn water into wine. I think I can walk on water. It’s a Christmas miracle.

I sincerely hope this was his first offense and for your sake, that he successfully completes the terms of the probation. Most of all I hope he learned a very important lesson.
If this was not his first offense, then the judge is an idiot. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I have no sympathy for anyone stupid enough to get behind the wheel of a car when their BAC is twice the legal limit.
Title: Re: What MADE your day today?
Post by: Pornhubby on April 26, 2023, 01:51:29 PM
It was first offense, but that still does not explain why the prosecutor was willing to do such a generous deal. I suspect it’s either because the arresting officer has left the force, or has some sort of disciplinary problem.
While I appreciate your feelings, I have a rather jaded view of the criminal justice system. The truth of the matter is there is no such thing. It is simply another form of taxation for the state to take money from people. A lot of innocent people are badly victimized, and a lot of horrible people get away with murder. That’s just the nature of the beast.
The state’s goal in most misdemeanor offenses is to make it so goddamn awful on the perp, that they never want to go through it again. And here I suspect they dropped the ball. But my role is that of an advocate, not a judge. And I did a damn good job.
Title: Re: What MADE your day today?
Post by: msslave on April 26, 2023, 02:36:50 PM
Having been in the criminal justice system I congratulate you Toe on cutting a good deal for your client. On the other hand even when I was out stealing to support my drug habit, I and many other of my fellow addicts were against drunk driving. I know...both groups are under the influence of mood altering chemicals. I'm sure drunks at the bar felt the same about us.
As a repeat offender, I never should have gotten the deal my attorney was able to get for me. In fact the prosecutor would not agree to any plea bargain, just wanted to put me away. It was the judge who finally agreed to allow me to go to rehab instead of prison. He pretty much said he was giving me enough rope to hang myself. Complete treatment and stay straight or sit behind bars.
I did see the light and became the so called productive member of society. Thirty six years later I still attend NA meetings and share my recovery with newcomers.
That's because I had an attorney willing to fight for me. Attorneys are easy to hate or make jokes about... until you need one.

I’m definitely 50+ percent finished with the move. I’m getting up in the morning to drive back to Austin and pick up my son. And then I have three final days to get the rest of this hauled off, packed up, or thrown away. A lot of throwing away. Will get it done. One room at a time.
UPDATE: I’m not a packrat, but every single space of this house is filled to the brim with old school work, photographs, finger paintings, art projects from summer camp… A bazillion Scout things. And all of them tug on your heart when you contemplate just throwing them in a trash bag. But the truth of the matter is, the kids don’t want this stuff. And I’m tired of curating a giant collection of junk that will never be a museum. My youngest called last night to say he would not be able to come help us with the move. And I told him “you’re just going to have to trust me then to sort your things. I promise you, I will throw 80% of it out.” But it is oddly liberating. I really feel like a weight is being taken off my shoulders. I’m going be at work next Monday owning roughly 20% of what I owned this Monday, and it’s great.

My wife and sons are pack rats. We still have clothes from when they were less then a year old, they’re 24. Our garage is packed full of all their old skate boards, bikes, aggressive skates and who knows what else. My life’s packed into a few bins in the attic and all my clothes. We cleaned out their bedroom and closet over a few weekends. Donated around 12 garbage bags of clothes to Salvation Army. Threw a bunch of stuff into the dumpster across the street. Still can’t tell. And forget about the attic, that’s just getting worse. We cleaned out a bunch of stuff up there a few years ago. Filled a bunch of garbage cans, three trips with 2 cars each trip to my wife’s work to fill the dumpster and still packed. I’ll get to reduce at some point, just don’t know when

I can see where that would feel liberating. I used to hang on to everything, telling myself it was for sentimental reasons. But I think much of it was just building an "emotional armor" around myself for various reasons, and old stuff helped add to that armor. These days, I'm more prone to throwing stuff away too quickly than holding on to it for too long lol

I'm happy you did, and reading about it always makes me smile. I know/knew too many people who sadly never did see it. For example, my uncle was a hardcore alcoholic. I remember when I was little and in my teens, he always seemed to be in the hospital. It didn't help that my grandmother always made excuses for him and gave us bullshit reasons for the latest hospitalization. One time, he was supposedly walking down the street, was knocked unconscious from behind, and was driven several miles and then dumped in a field. Yet they didn't steal anything from him? I'm guessing he fell and hit his head at home.
Anyway, he was able to acknowledge eventually that he had problems, yet he always claimed that everything would be great if only he had his own house, was married, at his dream car, etc. To his credit, I guess he was a functioning alcoholic for a while, and was able to work hard enough to achieve all those things. That's when he then nosedived. I suppose he realized the house, wife, and car didn't magically make him any happier, and he lost all hope. Eventually, he managed to hit the brakes for a little bit, when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had it operated out. But then he went back to hardcore boozing, stopped looking after himself again, never went back to the doctor, and died eight years ago from inoperable lung cancer.
I know that's probably a bummer to read, but I wanted to provide some contrast for why reading about your seeing the light made my day ;D

Could almost put this in what ruined your day but decided here is better. Daughter and son-in-law along with the dog are heading back home as I type.
They were were here for two weeks and we got to spend a lot of time together. Even made a run to Wisconsin to stock up on cheese. :D Son-in-law came along. It's been awhile since I tried to make the drive so good to have a backup driver.
It's always hard to see them go. The good news is they plan to return in July. Normally we get two visits, spring and fall. A summer visit will add a third.
It's a big deal. The trip is 1500 miles with one over night stop. I made the trek once but after that it became more than we could handle.
It was a wonderful visit and already looking forward to the return.

Today mom and the two kids showed up puppy in hand. They know how much we love animals and that we just lost our cat.
The new pup is a black Pug, 8 weeks old. As expected cute as a um, well a puppy. Her name is Grizzly. They do forest animal names. Their other dog is Moose. He's proved to be great with the puppy, being real careful around her, lifting his big paws when puppy scampers too close.

Son and his girlfriend are up north for a long weekend with another couple. Where they are has 3 local distillery’s. So I asked him to keep an eye out for any barrel proof bottles. Gave him a few that I’d like. He actually found the main bottle I really wanted. An 138 proof bourbon. Price was right and no mark up since they were at the distillery. Can’t wait to taste this one!!

Neighbors a week ago got a new puppy. The mom and two kids came down with the pup this evening. She's a cute little Pug. Right now a tiny thing that will grow fast. We got to play with Grizzly, yep.cute puppy is named Grizzly. All their dogs are given animal names.
Grizzly is real good at following people and the other dog. Both dogs hit it off instantly. Moose is much bigger but is careful around the puppy.
It was so fun meeting the new puppy neighbor. Really made my day. :D

For the next few weeks, Mrs JBRG and I are looking after a friend's house and swimming pool. Considering the daytime highs are currently high 80s/low 90s and will only get hotter, unrestricted access to a vey private pool is great. And, for this time, I can do some nut roasting. Nothing like laying in the Baja sun buck ass naked.

I literally got no message from any of the children (two of which I just moved) or husband, but I got one here. That is how quietly special this community is. I know it's a quiet pervy corner of the universe, but when it gets taken down I feel like a pillar of my world just got taken away. I lurk more than I post, but I value the people and discussions here.

It’s taken two weeks, but I am finally settling into my new normal. And I have most of the “important” boxes and things unpacked and put away. One thing I have been missing for two weeks is my Stetson Open Road hat. I finally found it in a suitcase at the storage unit. It looked pretty beat to hell, so I took it to Cavender‘s and had the milliner give her a once over. Steamed and shaped it. It looks like 1 million bucks. Funny that such a small thing can cause so much enjoyment. Happy Mother’s Day.

Been a great day. Started with brunch with wife's son. Mother's Day celebration finished it was back home for a leisurely afternoon with the Sunday paper. Weather was cloudy and cool, so parking my butt in my recliner seemed like a good idea.
Dinner time I was digging into a T-bone while we watched a movie. Just getting into the movie when my daughter called. Had a nice chat with her then back to the movie.
A little more movie and (ding dong) the doorbell. It was the neighbors with their two little girls. Kids were all keyed up as usual. If only I could get some of their energy in a bottle. I'd buy a case.
It was the whole family. Mom, dad both kids and both dogs. That's Moose the big Lab. Grizzly the new Pug puppy. The puppy is too cute. Makes my blood sugar go up 20 points. The little girls were running around the house and ended up bringing our next door neighbors over. Puppy got lots of attention. Time for kids to go home and up the sidewalk the tribe went. So cute to watch the little puppy running behind. Her little feet were going so fast and she was keeping up
So a full day and an enjoyable one. Only thing that would top it off is seeing Toe in his Stetson. :D

Our weekend was really good. Family did a distillery tour Saturday which was very interesting. For Mother’s Day my wife went on a 25 mile bike ride with one of our sons. Started at a local park and rode up to a cider mill then back. Other son and I worked in the yard and got that all looking good. The big thing was that my wife stood up for herself and did what she wanted to do. She spoke with her mom who was ok with her going out for the ride. Her brother was mad. I just told my wife at this point she is not a babysitter to an older brother who has decided to distance himself from the family. What matters is she spoke with her mom and to go out and do what she wanted. All this made my weekend

I made it to the annual Bison release at a local conservancy. They're restoring several acres back to a natural prairie.
Bison were an important part in keeping the prairies healthy, so each year a small herd of Bison are brought in to help in the prairie restoration.
The Bison keep the soil loose with their hooves as they walk around. They eat about 30 pounds of grass a day meaning when they poop that out it helps fertilize the prairie. Another plus is seeds cling to their coat and get transferred to other areas of the prairie.
In the past millions of Bison kept millions of acres of prairie healthy and thriving. Both were vital to the plains Native Americans. I'd read one Bison would support one Native American for a year.
Then the white man came. The Bison/Buffalo were slaughtered and the prairies plowed under. Projects like I visited today are just a tiny sliver of what used to be. There were a number children there today so hopefully they have a new understanding of the delicate balance of nature.
It was an enjoyable day for me. The large crowd was friendly, spirits were high,.kids were having fun. Then two trailers of Bison rolled in. One by one the doors were opened and out charged the wooly beasts. Every one cheered and it was over and a happy crowd broke up and headed home.
I didn't bother to take photos this time. I went and just enjoyed the event. :D

Several weeks ago our neighbor took some our still usable cat stuff including a two level cat tree. It went to a nephew 100 miles from here who'd just got a cat.
I was on the back porch this afternoon when the neighbor dogs started barking for treats. Got the bag and went over. Dogs got treats, I got dog spit on my hand. 8)
As I started to turn back to the house a lady came to the deck railing and called to me. She was the mother of the guy who got the hand me downs for his cat. She reported that Kitty was enjoying everything and thanked me on behalf of her son and cat.
Was so nice to know another cat was having fun with what our cats enjoyed. In fact the guy put up a bird feeder outside the window where the cat tree is. Now his kitty can watch the birds and birdies get fed. Double win. :D

Nothing specific made my day, my weekend. Weather is beautiful. My dad says he's the healthiest he's been in a while, he lost a good amount of weight and he says he's feeling better and younger than ever. He claims 30 lbs, but I'm calling BS on that one. Enough to be noticable though. Im sure you read how things are going with me and Allan. I'm just in a really good spot right now. Randomly smiling for no reason kind of good.

Catching up from yesterday:
Got to visit my friend that's still recovering from a broken hip last October 1st. He was in the VA for several months. Rebroke the hip two more times while in the hospital. His rehab just wasn't going anywhere. Now he's in a nursing home/rehab place. I was able to visit him often at the VA. Now he's a lot farther away and it's been hard to get away. He's doing better it seems. He also has COPD so just as he's making progress with therapy, he runs out of air. Add to that early stages of dementia. I need to make more of an effort. Anyway we had a good visit.
The evening found us in front of the TV when two little faces appeared at the front door. Yep, the neighbor girls and they new puppy in hand. Grizzly is so cute. I got the third degree soon as I got outside. Both of them were asking which I liked better, "Cats or Grizzly." They kept at asking same thing in different ways. Eldest is just finishing kindergarten the other a year behind. Mother finally came to my rescue and called them off. I asked if they were going to be attorneys. Dang they're off to a good start.
We played with the puppy while the girls went next door so they could see Grizzly too. They love showing off the puppy. Really made a fun end to the day.
Doesn't hurt that mom is a hottie. Yeah, I get diverted from the puppy.

I am writing something that isn't porn!
I don't know why, but I was watching an old Anime I used to love called A Certain Scientific Railgun. Basically another Japanese middle school fantasy, only with Espers not magical girls. There is an arc where she runs up against a sociopath named Accelerator who she can't touch with any of her attacks, and who has at that point killed about ten thousand young girls, and continues to kill a few a day during the story arc.
The thing is, I may have grown up reading comic books and sci-fi, but I went on to do a fair amount of time in the army, and a fair amount of time as a medic too. I watched that story arc and thought to myself, none of that comic book stuff can work on him, sure. You can't beat him.
She could kill him fairly easily. Now, how could you get her, dear sweet middle school heroine, to the point she can look at a sociopath like Accelerator and decide not to fight him, but to just end him?
So.......now I have started a thing.
Gods help me, my first non porn writing is taking an Anime murder arc and making it darker by adding an alcoholic PTSD ghost.

School is out in Ukraine, so all three of my foster kids are at home and thinking of things Daddy can buy for them. The text apps were busy all morning. So many cute photos of “final bell” I can’t share with you. I will have a hard time saying «Ні» which is “No” in Ukrainian.
My concerns now are nutritional support for the summer. They got three squares a day at the state school, so I knew they were fed at least five days a week. Now, it will be a little sketchier. They often eat only boiled potatoes. So money for groceries first, before new summer clothes and scooters.
I had a long talk with Ms. It’s Complicated yesterday. I’m going to help her with health services, and see if we can’t get her into a charity hospice. There are several programs for renal and cancer patients. She is both now. I am sure we will find something.

Those kids are lucky to have you doing what you can for them, and even though it would seem your "complication" bring more stress, anxiety, and problems to you than joy, loyalty, and love, you still go out of your way for her. Just don't be a stubborn ass and try to carry the world without taking time for yourself.

This year a niece was up from Texas and helped her. I send a little money to help with expenses.
This afternoon she sent a ton of photos. Lots of nice arrangements of mostly silk flowers so they can be reused.
Good to have someone holding down the home front. And I made sure to tell her how glad I was that she takes care of things.

That's awfully sweet of your sister to take care of the lost loved ones like that. Kinda makes me feel a bit guilty for not visiting my grandparents. My mom may be one of the most evil f@#$ing bitch to walk this earth, but my grandparents were decent enough.
I was on a site earlier this evening and looking at some ai art, and it is friggin crazy awesome. I've seen some celebrity ai porn, but this person was doing tropical scenery, and it looked sooooo beautiful and relaxing.

Went up to the neighbors with the new puppy to take pictures (while their kids are in school) They're great kids, but excitable and can't keep their hands off the puppy. :roll: Mother understood and wasn't offended at my request.
It was a ball. The little tiny Pug puppy and the full sized Lab are already great friends and played the whole time I was there. Didn't get that many good pictures as both never stopped moving. I took both my SLR and cell phone. I got better pics with the cell. Of course it's been a year since I picked up my big camera.
Here's one I can share. Puppy may be considered underaged content but dang, where do you draw the line. :emot_laughing:

Memorial weekend is always busy time for us, but I love live LOVE my job so the busier the better Tee Hee 😁
That being said, I'm always on my feet and I feel it by the end of the holiday, so having a spas day the next day is a friggin DREAM!!! Spend all day with massages, soaking in bath salts and getting everything cleaned, exfoliated, waxed, and bleached, I feel like both a punching bag and the most relaxed I've felt in months.
After all that I went to visit Allan who showered me with plenty of attention and a few orgasm that were so good, I forgot my age. We were having a chat post coital and I thought I was 37 still. I spent the night snuggled up to him. Woke him up with a quickie, and then I was off to visit dad who asked me to accompany him on a small trip across state. So spent all day with dad yesterday eating chunk food and talking about our respective relationships. Was a really good day.
Today I'm back at work still feeling a but sore from my deep tissue massage, and hoping later tonight I can feel sore from Allan's DEEP tissue assault 😘

Wife decided we needed to go out for breakfast. Headed across the river to our favorite cafe. Wife picked a table next to a family with a small baby and a young boy about four or five. Uh oh I thought... young kids that may start acting up.
Wrong! They both stayed well behaved. Grandma was along so maybe that helped. As I was walking past their table later I noticed mom just and an interesting tattoo on her shoulder. I had to stop and ask about it. It was.a human body with a fierce tiger head on top.
The lady in said it represents motherhood. In other words fierce like a tiger.

Great afternoon following morning full of running errands. My wife's niece stopped by for a quick visit. She's been in town many times over the years, but as we always had cats and she's very allergic we've been bypassed. Been busy over 30 years since wife has seen her. I've never met until now.
Niece had brought a nice bouquet of flowers. As we have no place to put them or a vase to put them in, we opted to give you them to neighbors up the street. The ones with two little girls and two dogs. The little girls were just home from camp and swimming. Still they were full of energy. Dogs gave me good licks, so brought home dog spit. :D
BTW, the male barks at every one who comes in... except me. Guess he knows dog friendly people. Puppy just loves everyone.
Wrapped things up with neighbor across the street stopping by with her two little girls. They were out for a walk and asked mom to stop here. When they first came by early this spring both girls were so shy they wouldn't even look up at us. Progress! :D

There was a combination smoker/grill I lusted after for years. About $1200. Once a year it would go on sale for $900, and I would always talk myself out of buying it. I guess I knew I would end up in a small apartment some day, with no place to put it.

That's one big reason I would never want to go back to an apartment again. I've gotten pretty good at grilling and smoking, and my current setup is a Chargriller combo gas and charcoal grill with the attached woodbox. What I don't like about, beside being over 300 pounds and 2 meters long is that smoking in it means babysitting the grill all day. Using a charcoal base imparts a flavor I don't like, but using only wood makes such a fickle fire that I get huge swings every 15 minutes if I'm not careful. Going to the Traeger should save me space, effort, and time. I'm already planning a rib cook for Father's Day, and looking forward to getting crazy. If I can make cheesecake in an InstantPot, I can make Mac and Cheese or Tuna Noodle Casserole in a smoker.

I feel these last few days I've been traveling all.over the state. Going places with my dad, and then I went to a birthday party for one of Allan's nieces, and yesterday I was out with my sister all day. Even though I was craving alone time I had such a blast with everything and everybody. Plus while at the birthday party I was loving on three doggos. A corgi and two chocolate labs 😍😍😍
I am however not going anywhere today. F anybody calls, "sorry my legs arent so good today." I picked up my Don Julio yesterday evening, and I'm gonna sit outside get some sun read one of my astrology books and magazines and work the help of margaritas, forget the world exists.
***** My brother has a huge piece of metal in his grill that radiates heat. I think its steel. It lays across under the grills, and he builds his fires under it and says it doesn't let direct heat get to the food but it will help maintain a more regular temperature... I dont know how much of that is true, but he is the best person at grilling and smoking that I know. He does however have a problem with peppers. He loves spicy, and he loves to add ghost peppers to food and has even made poppers with habanero peppers. I'm pretty sure all his recipes start with peppers.

We have a new houseguest. Neighbor pointed out there's a Robin's nest. It's on the connection where the drain from the roof connect's with the downspout. Will be keeping an eye out for little chick in the near future. :D
Also as neighbor was coming to tell me about it, she had a handful of fresh strawberries from her garden. As I gazed longingly at them and a bit of drool slid down my chin, she dumped them all getting my outstretched hand. Had a few in my cereal. 8)

Local kennel club has an annual dog run this weekend. Dozens of dogs of all breeds and ages register and then are timed in a 100 yard sprint. We have local vendors and sponsors all over the place and radio. It is an absolute blast.
Allan brought remi to visit, but she didn't do the run. He said she would run about half way get distracted by smells and then roll around in the grass. She then proceeded to prove him right by rolling around in the grass.
We had a pack of Bernese Mountain Dogs, and they swarmed around everybody trying to pet them. Say one little girl completely disappear amount the black brown and white fur. Looked like she was drowning in them. Last thing you see is her little hand being swallowed up. It was the funniest and cutest thing I saw the whole day. Despite their size, they were very gente even when excited, and she was perfectly fine.
It was kind of windy and cool with some scattered sprinkles unlike yesterday, sunny and 80s, so worry about heat injuries for any dogs was very low we still had the water misters and kiddy pool all set up for them.
Tomorrow is the last day of the fun. supposed to be extremely windy.

I made a Nespresso this morning, crawled back into bed to read the news and do my puzzles and card games. Sasha send me a Viber message and I spent two delicious hours just sexting and talking really dirty with my favorite Russian. She is just so nasty, she makes me feel almost normal. LOL. Made my day. Didn’t get up until 2 in the afternoon. I made a shrimp salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, and avocado. It was a good day. Didn’t have to use my AK…

We just got back from the concert. It was amazing. I love Taylor Swift. So many cute outfits, including what the girls were wearing. Lots of glitter, sequins, and sparkles
She is such a great entertainer. The show was crazy good.
Waiting for the washer to run a load of towels, will get them in the dryer and then get to bed.
I missed everyone. We are leaving for the cottage about noon, so I likely won't be back on until maybe July. Love you all.

I was packing on a lot of weight before I switched diabetes doctors and my blood sugar was WAY out of control. The new doctor hated how much insulin I was injecting and asked if I was willing to try a new weekly shot. I’d be her first patient using it but she really thought it would help me all around. So now I’m less then a year she said I should be off insulin completely, my A1C is down and I lot a lot of weight. My goal was to loose 30lbs. I had past the 30 mark awhile ago but was now hoping to loose more. I always weigh myself Sunday mornings when I wake up and after the morning pee. So this morning I jumped on the scale and waited for it to think…….I have lost 47lbs as of this morning. I’ve noticed over the last week that my gut is smaller and all my shirts at fitting loose. All my pants are falling off. Already had to get a 36 belt and I’m on the 4th hole on that now. This has just made my day!!

Congratulations Coach...to you and your Doc.
As an older fella my doctor keeps giving me a higher range for my blood sugar levels. I also had a steroid injection last week which has really caused my levels to soar, so I need to add a few more units of insulin until that settles down.

Funny, she told me about the same thing. Since I’m older my range is higher. Told me to stop looking at the averages and don’t worry when I ge the odd spike. Her thing is no more lows and only the odd high.

I went down to the neighborhood ice cream parlor this afternoon and enjoyed a cold shake. This place is near a public pool and crazy busy on a hot afternoon. So there was a parade of people going through the line… young, old, everything in between. Lots of bikinis and crop tops. A few camel toes. Young lovers. Old married couples. I just enjoyed observing the crazy diversity and sameness of life. I have been many of the people I saw today, and someday, many of them will be me.

Yesterday we attended a party thrown by friends. They have over ten acres an hour out of town on a river. When they bought the land it was overgrown with brush and trees. Over the last few years they've cleared all the brush and thinned out a lot of trees. It now looks like a park.
Lots of food to snack on as we all chatted. Some of the people we hadn't seen for year or more. The house they built features a porch that wraps around three sides of the house. A ways away, down by the river was a fire where smores were being made. I enjoyed one of the gooey delights.
A new addition this year was a pair of Pygmy Goats. They were playful and fun to watch. (https://i.imgur.com/OXpHzaV.jpg) There were also five or six baby chicks. They were just starting to get their feathers. Sadly last winter something got into the chicken coop and killed their other chickens. No fresh eggs for awhile.
After three hours of conversation, food, strolling the grounds we headed the car back up the freeway to home. A great What made my day.

My entire apartment smells like a bakery. I have been baking breads and pastries all afternoon. Getting the timing down was more difficult than I thought but only lost one batch of potato buns because I killed the yeast. Everything turned out perfectly.
Why am I baking all this? Certainly wasn't planned, but I was thinking about having lasagna for dinner, and then I thought about making breadsticks, and then I opened my cookbook and the recipies just started jumping out at me. I now have zero flour, and yeast in my kitchen, and my counter top is filled with buns, breads, cookies, turnovers, cinnamon rolls, and apple cinnamon pinwheels. I'm not cooking lasagna tonight, think I'll order delivery, LoL :emot_laughing:

So last weekend. I mentioned th I was at a local kennel club during a dog run. On the last day it was going on, we had an incident with one of the dogs. A dog ended up sliding and crashing through the plastic snow barrier at the end of the run. What happened was the man controling the "rabbit" which is basically a dog toy with white cloth tied to it and pulled by a cord, failed to stop it soon enough and the dog chased it right to the end. There is generally a lot of space from the finish line to the end of the run, but since the rabbit kept going, so did the dog. When asked, what happened, he said the trigger got stuck and it kept going. I thought he wasn't paying attention and watching the dogs. Turns out he did have a problem when it nearly happened two more times later in the day.
Now normally it wouldnt be too bad, but the dog that had the accident was a Whippet. If you don't know a whipper, they are like greyhounds but smaller. Most dogs that ran were around 20 to 25 MPH. That's bad if they fall. Imagine taking a tumble traveling at 25 mph.
Anyways this whippet named Moxi, I friggin love that name, hot 32 MPH.... 32!! And then crashed. That's why I thought the guy wasnt paying attention. Anyways, she got up and started moving around pretty good and disnt seem hurt at all. Now another disappointment part was after all that, the clock people didnt get the time... so she had to run again. We asked the woman if she wanted us to give her a quick look over, but she said no. Walked back to the start line and then Moxi did the run again. She still hit 32 MPH, and the ribbit stopped this time, but after the run, she was limping on her back leg. We asked again if she wanted us to take a look, and she declined. She did come back about 20 minutes later and Moxi had a very obvious limp. After a quick feel she didnt painfully react to any pressure and it all seemed ok, but without an xray we couldnt be sure. We provided some pain relief and she said she'll take her into her vet tomorrow.
Anyways, I got a message from my coworker who had a friend at the kennel club, and it turned out it was a light sprain, and she'll be back running in no time. Moxi's got alotta moxie

If Moxie was on here, I'd give her a big WOO. Dang owner should have had her checked when it was first offered. Rabbit guy needs to run a few laps...with a Doberman chasing him.
Whippets and Greyhounds always look so fragile too me.

Congrats, Eric. I'm a type 2 diabetic as well but have the opposite problem when it comes to weight. At one point 36 years ago, I weighed in at 205 pounds. I failed my military physical fitness test. So, they put me on mandatory PT 3 mornings per week. I was already playing hockey two or three times a week as well. In six weeks, I dropped 20 pounds, passed the fitness test all while eating like a horse. This was 9 years before my diabetes diagnosis.
I stayed between 180 and 185 pounds for what seemed like forever. In about 2006, the weight just started falling off. I was thinking it was the fact I wasn't eating as much because of problems I was having with my gall bladder. Well, the gall bladder came out in 2015 (it, when removed, was the size of a baseball - way too big). Now, I realize that my weight loss seemingly has nothing to do with anything. I'm currently at 1409sh and try as I might, I cannot gain the weight back. If the BMI chart is to be believed, I'm 22 pounds underweight. However, the amount of walking the Mrs and I do could be contributing that. And a high metabolic rate probably doesn't help.
As for what has made my day -- my fan club. Four blocks from where we live down here in La Paz is a children's clothing store. The lady who runs it has two girls aged 3 and 5. While mom works, abuela looks after the kids. It started a couple of months ago when the kids were out on the sidewalk riding their scooter. I made like I was trying to avoid them running me over. They played along and from there a friendship has developed. When they are at the store, they keep an eye out for us walking by. Yesterday was a very warm day. The door to the store was closed to keep the cool air inside. We walked by (on our way to do some day drinking) and were half a block away when we heard the little voices calling out behind us. We turned around and there were the kids waving at us in total glee. We had no choice but to go back and say hi and play with them for a few minutes. Makes my day every time we see the kids and we are quite sure it makes their day as well.

We have two young girls living up the block from us. In the summer I'd be out front with the cat. Soon one of kids would spot me and cry out loud enough for the whole block to hear, "HI BOB!"
Soon they both would head down to our house, dragging the nanny behind them. Wife would come out too and we'd spend some time with them. Neville would get pets and wife would show them the latest doll clothes she was working on for them.
Now as they're getting older, they are in summer camp. Not seeing them as much. They do come down with the parents and dogs.

We had a fun visit from our neighbors last night. They live up the block a few houses. They just got back from a trip to Utah. It was a family event with 13 people including a bunch of lively youngsters.
Last night's visit included the whole household...mom dad and two whirlwinds normally referred to as little girls. Both dogs came too. The new puppy and her big brother.
The energy those two young girls have seems to leak out and pep us old folks up. Add the doggos and we went back in the house pretty happy. Good neighbors make for good living. :D

Went down to wauwatosa the other day to visit my besties. We went to see some local bands playing and just hang out. We did some shopping and consumed a massive amount of margaritas. It was good just just let loose with my oldest and closest friends. We don't get to do it often, but there is hardly a week that goes by where we dont talk to text at least every othe day. They wanted to meet Allan, but they'll have to come visit me for that. He didn't want to go, and I didn't really want to bring him, so it worked out. Him on long drives are not pleasant. Still had an absolute blast.
Yesterday was a day of victory for me. It was a long hard fought battle that left me sore, and exhausted, but I finally folded and out away all my clean clothes. I have never kept it a secret that I am... a bit of a slob... especially when it comes to putting away my clothes. It's easier and kore enjoyable for my to iron something out the night before than fold and put away even an single pair of pants, and dont even get me started on pairing socks... Anyway, it was getting to a point where I couldn't find a hamper or basket or spot on my floor to put my dirty clothes so I rolled back my mental sleeves and got to work. I threw out so many socks I couldn't find a matching pair for, that the drawer is still pretty much empty. I also filled a bag for donating to the local thrift shop.
It's amazing that I can see my floor again.😂🤣

Went to the neighbor's this morning.(the ones with two dogs and two little girls) Dad got a new camera a while ago and I offered to help him with it. Never heard from him about that, then last week he was showing pictures from a recent trip. I asked if he was using the AUTO setting rather than advanced . He admitted that yes he was using AUTO.
This morning I went down and we went over some basics. His manual is on line, but 800 pages. He didn't know where to start. Showed him ISO settings so he can shoot in low light. F-stops and exposure control.
We had to cut things short as the family was going to the art museum. I was sitting here a couple hours later and got a text.
OMG!! 📸
(Bob scratched head) Then I got:
"You are a genius!!! Absolutely amazing- using the camera at the museum and for the first time have been able to take good pictures inside. Thank you!!!!"
Made me happy to help out.

What a day. Daughter and her husband stopped by this morning. Helped out with a couple things around the house I'm not up.to any more.
While they were here I spotted the two little neighbor girls walking by with their dogs. Grandma was overseeing the parade. My daughter has been wanting to see the puppy so I opened the front door. Both dogs quickly headed to our house. (treats are given here)
We all chatted and daughter ooohed and aaah over the puppy. Moose got his attention too. The little girls did their thing... running around the house :D Finally grandma corraled the kids. Kids grabbed the dog's leashes and off they trooped.
Daughter and son-in-law helped with.a couple more things then headed back to where they are staying. Oh, one other bit of good news. They're going to stay for a month this visit. :emot_clap: :emot_clap: :emot_clap:

What made my day is my son finally getting a job. He has been unemployed for four months and living off dad. He put my credit card in his Apple wallet and I have been buying him beer porn and weed for four months. That is driving me crazy.
He works for Pizza Hut now. And a plus side is that we get free pies.
A bigger plus side is that he’s now gone at least six hours a night, and dad is getting his nasty on. I was casting porn on the 65 inch. I’m drinking an Evan Williams and watermelon, and just fucking having a great night. I can listen to anything I want to on the stereo, make as much noise as I want to, and nobody’s telling me to close the blinds and turn the lights off, because they’re playing Call of Duty XXVII, Navy Seals have Jock Itch.

I'm a couple days behind on this. Visiting family is keeping us busy.
Was over talking to our neighbor Monday. She informed me that she and her partner got married on Friday. They've been living next to us for over 20 years and I don't know how long they were together before moving here.
This is the wonder couple who shovel our snow, mow our lawn and offer to help out however else they can. I picked up a congratulations card and a gift card for a nearby restaurant I know they like.
They came over last night and we were able to present it to them. As a bonus they brought their dogs along so wife and I got a "fur fix". :D
I don't know how anyone could ask for nicer neighbors.
While sitting out front with them other neighbors from across the street pulling up and started unloading suitcases. Just back from two weeks in Portugal. I admire their courage...they have two preschoolers. Had to be an experience traveling with them.

I was playing around with Google Bard, seeing how it would respond to vague questions to which I already knew the answers, and could therefore spot hallucinations.
I asked Bard if a major American rock group ever played at a minor London college. I expected an answer along the lines of "The books I have consulted have no information about such a concert, but . . ." and then some marginally relevant info.
Instead Bard not only told me the date of the concert, but also told me it had been the highlight of the tour, and provided links to a set list and a live recording.
I was stunned. I had no idea someone had bothered to preserve the set list (the band's manager, maybe) and I definitely don't remember any recording equipment. I arranged the concert, booked the group, and ran around making sure everything was going smoothly. I'm convinced I would have spotted a recording truck parked outside, or a mixing console set up in the hall.
I was further stunned when I discovered that, yes, there is a recording of that concert. I ordered a copy of the CD and can't wait to listen to it. Even if the audio quality is bad, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that I was there, and made it happen.
Happy Hilda

Again Hilda shared another interesting story. You could write a book. Must have had quite a life. Is there a reason you left out the band's name? This gets you another WOO.
In my salad days I was news director at a small radio station in northern Minnesota. I got to meet a lot of interesting people, mostly politicians. I most enjoyed Alex Haley, author of "Roots".
He was touring colleges to earn money as he finished that book. He related how he was able to go to Africa and discovered the tribe his original ancestor came from. What a tale.

Even though a lot of our time was at Doctor appointments it was still time together. The extra time we've had together makes their leaving that much harder. :'(

How very odd that we ran into some acquaintances from our home city today, also doing a circle tour of Lake Superior. Small world.

Ah... the Circle Tour. One of my unmet wishes. Enjoy the trip for me. My chances of ever doing it would be impossible. I'd have to stop by every lighthouse on the way. And there's bunches.
Glad you're enjoying your time away from us. Much as I'm happy for you,.I miss you. Hurry back to us Madam Sheriff. :emot_kiss:

The Michigan/US side is great. The Ontario coast, not so much. Most things closed. No boat tours, most businesses closed. Covid put a hurtin' on it. We just arrived in Thunder Bay, we just saw the first traffic light in two weeks (since Sault St Marie). We enjoyed the Canadian shore of Lake Superior , but not as much as we thought we would. Restaurants were absolute sh*t. A ban on campfires because of all the fires. Very underwhelmed with this trip. We did hike a lot and made the best of it.

Well my daughter and son-in-law plus the dog are well into Wisconsin as I type this out. Didn't know whether to post this in what made my day because we had such a wonderful visit. Guess I still feel sad at their leaving after having them here for nearly a month
A lot of my sadness is not knowing what my health situation will be when they're able to visit again. I'm still doing pretty good except for needing a cane to get around.
Anyway I'm sad at their leaving and hope they have a safe trip home.(1500 miles) Thanks for letting me whimper about their leaving.
Now let me close by again saying I'm so happy and grateful for the time we had. I'm left with so many wonderful memories of all the time we had together. They stayed much longer than they normally do, and that extra time is what made saying good bye harder. I could easily repost this in What Made My Day but then Toe would say I'm trying to "Hugo" this. :facepalm:
WELL CRAP!!! This was to be posted in "What Ruined My Day. Off to a great start. Grrrrrrr

I ended up being the lead for our block's National Night Out party this Tuesday. It's an annual night for everyone to come out on the street and get aquatinted with the neighbors. We have a pretty tight neighborhood even tho' there's been a big turnover last few years.
Our regular lead has another meeting that night and sent out a plea for a replacement. As nobody jumped in right away, I made the leap.
Mostly I need to send out emails. Already have several tables a couple of grills and offers to help. Even with email there's been invitations tucked into mailboxes. I made flyers and borrowed the two little girls from up the street. Got my walker out of the car and rolled up to pick up the kids. They were behaving very well taking turns going up to houses and delivering the flyers. After a few houses I found out if I gave a good report to their mom, they'd get a sucker.
They did get a good report...in fact excellent. Mom got out the suckers and I got one too :D Then one of the girls decided my wife needed one too. So sweets in hand I headed home...job well done!

We are not going back to the cottage for another 10-14 days. We have a few appointments coming up. Doctor, Financial Planner, Accountant.
The delay in going back up north neither ruined or made my day. There are pros and cons.
Pro - I get to spend time visiting KB while I have internet. Con - I love the quiet and being off the grid up there Pro - I miss the television and internet. Have some shows to catch up on Con - only another good 30 days before it starts getting cold there

Well I'm a bit behind, but better late than never.
This year the person on our block who has been the lead for our National Night Out had another commitment and asked if someone else could step up. After a couple days with no response, I decided as long as I'm only sitting on my butt between VA appointments I'd take the reins.
Most of my involvement was email saying what we needed , grill, tables, food to share with others, etc. Soon neighbors started responding with what they could provide. We soon had everything that was needed.
My other big job was as stretching yellow caution tape across both ends of the street. I went out a little after 5:00 to do that. Walking to both ends of the block would be a big job with my bad legs. Before I could make a move the neighbor across the street came out of his house and grabbed the tape and off he went and in no time had the tape up. Next thing I knew doors were opening all over the block and the street filled with ppl setting up tables, covering them with bright tablecloths. Next food started filling the tables and the grill was filled with.hot dogs and brats.
And...the party was on! People helped both wife and me dish up our food and we joined everyone at feasting. I started making the rounds being a social butterfly. Some of the people I don't see very often. Lots of kids and they're growing like crazy. Even a few.well behaved dogs.
After about three hours I set my butt in a chair. Wasn't long before I started feeling hot and dizzy. Guess wife noticed I wasn't doing good and I'm not sure how it happened but two big guys were walking me up our front steps. I got inside, hit my chair and was instantly asleep. Woke up about 1:30 AM. Went to the bedroom and was once again out like a light.
So, even though the end wasn't so bright it was a great night. Guess I need to learn I'm old and can't.do what I used to.

Not a made my day kind of post, but a "holy crap, a hawk just tried to kill me" post.
I was driving out to my dad's house this morning and I saw a huge hawk dive out of the trees on the right side of the road and into the ditch on the left side. I took my foot off the gas and was thinking that was a really big bird and I was trying to see if I could spot it in the ditch when I got to about where it was when suddenly it was flying out of the ditch and was right next to my window. I screamed, it did some evasive maneuvers and banked hard. Next thing I know, this whatever it caught bounced off the hood of my car as I'm guessing the hawk freaked out as much as I did. I had swerved a little bit to avoid hitting the bird, and my tires hit the gravel on the side of the road, and I slammed on my breaks.
I pulled all the way over and tried to swallow my heart out of my throat. I looked around real quick but saw no sign of bird or prey. Finished my drive going 5 under the speed limit.
I guess since nobody died, I guess I can have it be a made my dat thing

That's a common cause of injuries and death for hawks and other birds of prey. When ppl toss food out.of their cars, it attracts mice and other small critters.
Then hawks see them and swoop down in the ditches. When they take flight, prey in talons they can get hit by passing cars.
We had a hawk hit us hard years ago. We were on the the freeway so sure hawk never had a chance. Your's sounds like it's ok. It is scary.

After it was all said and done, I had mixed emotions about the dropped... "food". I hoped the mouse or whatever was ok too, but then I also felt bad that the hunger bird lost it's food.
Nature seems heartless sometimes.
Reminds me of when was driving home from a visit in wauwatosa and I saw a deer trotting through a field. I remember thinking how cute deer are, and then a few seconds later, I see three wolves on the edge of the field heading straight at the deer. Felt excited for seeing the wolves, and then very bad for the deer...
Not really a made my day conversation LoL! 😂

Yes, nature can be cruel, when seen through our eyes that have seen Bambi and other cute shows with animals doing cute things.
Fact is all critters gotta eat and some of them are meat eaters. As to your deer and the wolves, if the deer was healthy it could outrun the wolves. While the wolves could match the deer for speed, the deer could keep up it's pace longer, leaving the wolves behind.(to huff and puff until they blow down a pig's house :D)

Went to my monthly photo club meeting this morning. Wife was worried as there is a long walk uphill to the visitor center. I told her that the toughest part was going downhill after the meeting.
One of the members gave a presentation from his visit to British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest. He had quite a trip. They started from Vancouver and took float plane up the coast where they met their boat. It was 53 feet long and 15 foot beam.
They had luxury cabins and a on board cook provided five-star meals. The boat took them further up the coast and they visited the many inlets that made up the coastline.
At each inlet the group boarded a Zodiac, a small rubber board with a solid wood floor. They went close to the coast and spotted lots of bears getting good photos.
The photos were great and with a zoom lens they were up close and personal. A challenge was the bears eyes are the same color as their fur. He had to get the light just right in order to get a good photo. The scenery with the mountains in the background was spectacular too.
Water was calm in the inlets as there were many islands acting as breakwaters. One unprotected inlet had swells of 4 to 5 feet. That was bumpy but there were Orcas playing and jumping high out of the water. Again good photos as he hung onto the railing with one arm and the camera in his other hand. All while turning green. :D
It was one of the more impressive presentations we've had in a long time. It will be a tough act to follow for the next presenter. Oh... that will be me. I'll be talking about the North American Bison 🦬. Maybe I should include a Bison tossing someone in the air. There's lots on line now.

Wife and I went to the neighbor's Flamenco Dance recital late yesterday afternoon. It was fabulous. The venue was small so lots of us packed into the small space. We were lucky the weather was cool for a change.
The performances were great. It was like being in old Spain a the spirit of the Flamenco filled the venue. In addition to lovely ladies of all ages there were three excellent guitarists providing the music.
I did record a video of several of the ladies. I'm not very skilled at taking videos and I get a little shaky. I did post it on YouTube for any who wanna take a peek. It's almost six minutes long so just watch as much as you'd like.

Paid about $65 for them which didn’t make me happy. What made me happy was that I fit into a 34 waist. I haven’t worn a 34 waist since probably middle school. That made my day!!

I started the LA Times puzzle with 1-across, then filled in each word, going down line by line until the last 'across' clue was filled in. Finished the puzzle without even looking at the down clues. :o
Always wondered if that were possible, and... well, it is.

Saw my youngest for dinner last night. Classes start for the fall semester tomorrow, so West Campus was full of parents driving SUV’s and U-Hauls on narrow streets. Insanity. People running stop signs, double parked, blocking intersections.
We finally gave up and went to a 24/7 breakfast joint. Spent a couple of hours talking and eating waffles.
He broke up with his girlfriend this week, so he’s had the blues. Assured him everything is about to get very busy with his fraternity, classes, work, and the LSAT. It will all be okay. He tends to be over anxious about things.
But it was a good visit. Nice hug when we said goodbye.

Seeing Ken Jennings curse on an episode of Jeopardy!
It was an exhibition game with no real money at stake, otherwise they would have edited it out, I think. It was bleeped, but you could clearly tell what he said.
There was a category called NUMBERS. The five clues were chosen at different times, not all at once and after the next to last one, Ken explained that the five answers (which he listed) were relevant to winning streaks the players had gone on. Then he realized that there was one question that hadn't been picked yet and swore at himself.
The contestant Amy got a huge laugh when she then picked that question, which she (and everyone else) already knew the answer to.
I replayed it a half dozen times, laughing anew each time.
You can see it on YouTube.

Yes, Working on my tan. It's beautiful here. Enjoying the sun as much as possible in these last few days of summer.
Earlier, we ran into parents we know that were walking their kids to school. It's the first day in our district. I had Dan invite them over for a "back to school party". By the time we chit chatted with some other parents at the school, who were also dropping their kids off, we had invited approximately 30 people. About 20 people showed up, anll moms annd one grandfather, and we were drinking mimosas and Seagrams flavored drinks from 9:15 until 1:30. Quite a few were not capable to drive, but most walked over anyways. Picking the kids up at school, most of them said they went home and napped. Some looked hung over. Fun times!

Took wife's son to brunch this morning. Before we left he helped bring in a few cases of water we had stored in the garage. Only a few more weeks before we have to quit keeping water out there.
Some how the discussion turned to Vikings Museum, located out.by their training complex. So, we took the wife home and away we went.
Even as a non-sports fan I found it enjoyable. Brian was floating on air. It was fun seeing him enjoy it. His knowledge of Minnesota sports teams is encyclopedic. He knew about all the photos and displays and kept exclaiming as we moved around how glad he was to be there.

We went to a friends cottage. Kinda sorta boring. A lot of sitting and chitchatting. That's for nighttime by the campfire, not all day long. We did breakaway to sneak into Indiana for a bit to a well stocked liquor store when I found quite a few bottles of my favorite brown liquid. Going in to the atore, our friend said, "Like I said earlier, they have plenty of bourbon." Dan said, "You get to buy to max, Jules." He knew immediately he should have kept his mouth shut. I just smiled and said, "We're going to need a shopping cart now. "

Arriving at the draft, I was surprised at how many bottles of bourbon the host(Sam) had. He told me not to open mine, and that he already had a bottle of blade and bow opened. But he had a huge bottle (500ml) of 1792. So I drank from that all night.
Sam knows I love Kentucky and love bourbon. He told me my team name was 1792 until I came up with something better.
1792 is a bourbon I enjoy often at home. if you're wondering why it's called 1792, it's the year that Kentucky became a state.
I like it, but not sure for a football team name.

When did the USA go metric? To me 500ml is only half a litre? ;D

Hey MJ, need to try Detroit City Distillery Butchers Cut. Becoming my favorite bourbon. I’ve been getting the Total Wine barrel pick at 116 proof.

It was actually 1.75L
That reminds me of a joke told last night.
Sam said “Rachel told me she wants a divorce because I’m anti-American. I saw it coming from a kilometer away. “

Daughter called us from her home in upstate New York. Always good to.hear from her.
She did inform me they have a casual friend who's some kinda minister. He wanted my name so he add me to his prayers. I have had a lot of people saying they are praying for me.
He sounds like an interesting guy. Wears a cap with Jesus written on the top. And he likes guns. Walks around with a pistol strapped to his hip.
So, I'll be receiving prayers from a fella who's packing for Jesus. :D

Dan was invited to a Lions watch party tonight. He declined the invite because he knew how excited I was to watch the game tonight,
But they are some really good guys he hasn't seen in a while. So I told him to go. He said no. I said, "GO, I know you want to. I want you to. It's okay."
That made my day -him willing to stay home with me like that.
So, who was the nicer one here..... me for telling me to go, or him for declining the invite so he could be with me?
I would say a tie. :)
But the tie-breaker is.....that sh*thead actually left! Hahaha, there is no winning with me.
I'm going to let him think he won by cuddling with him in bed and telling him that I'm glad he went. Then we're going to celebrate the LIONS upset of the Chiefs. He's gettin crazy wild stuff tonight!
Kickoff coming up in a few minutes. GO LIONS!!!!! Woot. Woot!

THE MEATBALL SAGA CONTINUES!!!
We talked and I let her know my thoughts in it. She felt so bad for asking and was crying about the whole thing. She didnt know what it ment for me, so having the chat was the best. It came down to her making them only using venison. I'm fine with that. My dad loves them with either one, but using venison was a new thing for me. He enjoys them both, and I don't have to make a double batch or mess with soaking the venison to reduce the gaminess. I see this as a total win. After our talk I'm excited about sharing the meatball spotlight. I did tell her that if she tweaks the recipe in any way, and they turn out better, I'll burn her house down. She laughed and said she'll just move in with dad. She is awesome, and I love her.
Dad's gonna love this sunday!!!
Also, my uncle is talking again. Not very well and with some discomfort, but he's doing better. My Aunt keeps telling us shes stressing because of how much she'll miss the silence. There was talk about visiting during the packer game, but it's about a 45 minutes drive one way, and they want us to have out usual get together. He should be home by the end of next week, so we'll have the next game at their place. Hes gonna have a hell of a time during these games, he is a very VERY vocal fan.

Glad it all worked out, S. I was told to safeguard a few recipes, and I did. Then I thought about it, and it was my mom that told me that. She's gone and I am good with sharing now. I don't bake like I used to. Sometimes Dan's girls will with me. A needs another year or two, then I'll teach her the recipes and get baking again. My sister and I used to bake every other weekend for 20 something years at least. Maybe you can make new memories with your daddy's gf in the kitchen.

A bit slow getting this posted. Highlight of the weekend was making a presentation to my photo club. I talked about the North American Bison or Buffalo as they're commonly known. It went well considering I've had a bad persistent cough for a couple weeks. It held off during my presentation and I was able to get through it
My presentation went well and was well received. It's good to be able to share my photos with other photographers and talk about the Bison that are making a comeback after nearly being exterminated in the 1800s.

Good eye doc visit yesterday. Off the steroid drops 100% now. Vision is still 20/20 for distance. Need readers for up close
Going to diabetes doc tomorrow. I’m also off daily insulin 100%. Been a week and 1/2 without. Daily numbers are starting to come down again. Spiked for a few days.
Lost 55lbs or more depending on when I weigh myself.
Hips still killing me but can do a bit more social activities. We went to a social district last Saturday. Got a drink and walked around listening to the band play and watched cornhole.

I think I am twelve. I was jogging, and one of the local bible thumpers was checking me out as I jogged past him. He walks his dog on the same trail, so we see each other a lot. He stops blinking and breathing while I pass, I guess so he can memorize the whole show, it is a bit creepy, but I am not putting on a burka to jog so whatever.
Today as I was jogging up to him, he farted, and it must have been terrible because his spaniel jumped to the end of the leash away from him, bared its teeth and barked at him.
I kid you not, it was like he had eaten Satan's kazoo and it sounded the trumpet of the end times, setting off his dog's panic attack. I honestly almost fell on my ass, jogging and laughing is harder than it looks. I was forwarned, so held my breath as I passed. Dogs are really tolerant of some fairly rank smells, so I have zero urge to find out what comes out Beelzebubs backside when it does duck calls.
Not mature, still can't stop laughing. May keep randomly laughing about this all day.

There used to be a comedy group at a local SMU pub named “Bowley & Wilson.” They sang a lot of naughty ditties for the college students.
One was called “The Fart Song” and I remember the punch line was “the last one was so strong, if we had an egg beater, we could have whipped it back into a turd!”
Your story reminded me of that. :emot_laughing:

Heard from daughter today. She's finished the blanket she's been making for me. I've mentioned it briefly here. On her last visit this summer she took 20 of my older "been there, done that" T-shirts and has put them all together to make mea memory blanket. Final step was putting backing on it.
It's now done and when they come back in November it will come with them. I'm beyond excited. A personal blanket with memories of so many places from my.past. So special. :D :D :D

About a day late but have to report this. We were joining friends for dinner last night. To the wonder of my old man eyes a guy left the restaurant as we were going in behind him was his girlfriend... wearing only a lacy bra. Yes, a bra, not a tube top or sports bra. Even the women in our group agreed it was a bra.
Not something you'd expect to see in the conservative area of the city we were in.
No... I'm not complaining. :emot_laughing:

Green bay won a last minute game against the saints Watched it start to finish with my family and I brought Allan with me. He wore his bears gear and that included a hat. I never seen him wear a ball cap, but he did it just cause. He laughed and mocked the whole game, and we almost left near the beginning of the 4th quarter. But GB started coming back. Dad said allan "can go any time, but Shy is staying until the end." We won, my dad jumped up and hooted and hollered so loud my aunt Amy dropped her wine. Julie smacked him and told him to stop. My entire family loves her to death. She's perfect for him.
I could tell he was getting irritated but he stuck it out for me. His family didn't know he was going to my families, so I called his mom and said he was with me and running late. We'd be there ASAP. Once she found out I was showing up, she said take our time and get there safe. Game eneded I kissed my dad by and we were on out way.
I tried to show him my appreciation on the drive over for sticking around, but he wasn't interested in any road head. Said to wait till later.
Now I'm at his families house decked out in packer gear and making exaggerated comments about the bears getting their butts kicked by the chiefs.
Too bad I dont have a chiefs Jersey. Hes looking like he wants to get out a lot of frustration.

That was sweet of him.🥰
After the trouncing the bears got, i was nobodies friend last night except his mother. She laughed and joked about getting a packers jersey. Tom, Allan's dad, said that's grounds for divorce in their house. She just shrugged and laughed it off.
When we left, he was had been slamming drinks pretty hard, so I ended up driving is home. I hate driving his truck. The gas pedal is so weird. It has no resistance to it at all. Hit a bump and my foot moves the pedal causing us to speed forward. It was terrible. Anyways, we got back to his place and he was half asleep in the passenger seat. I had to half drag him to the door and into bed. I told off my packer's shirt and slid it over his pillow as a makes shift pillow case so he could rest his weary head.
I ended up driving his truck back home because he picked me up and I didnt have any change of clothes. I slept at home, and then in the morning instead of going for my run, I drove back to his place so he could drive me back home on his way to work. I took my car, which he insisted on driving back to my place. He likes me car, but said it would be better if it was the V8, I told him since I dont have a dick, I dont need to compensate for anything. My car looks good and has heated seats... if you didnt know, I love my heated seats...
As for the packers shirt pillow case. He said i was lucky I wasnt there when he woke up, and it was cruel, it's the reason for his migraine, and now he has to throw out the entire pillow... with the shirt still on it. I promised him I'll make it up to him.

Personally, for starters, they are always bigger, and seem more comfortable. Next is that they smell like him. The whole drive home, I could smell him all around me and I loved it. Then it just becomes a go to item to wear. I'll pull it out of the dryer, and think, Hell Yeah, I'm wearing this and i put it on right away, all toasty warm from the dryer. Eventually it becomes a trophy item that I've enjoyed wearing on so many occasions, it is now mine and the devil would get an ass whooping trying to take it away.

Your post made me smile.
I worked that concept into one my stories. A young woman is conducting consumer surveys at a shopping mall. She comes across a handsome amnesiac who doesn't know who he is or why he's there. Is so happens that when she's not part-timing she's doing postdoc research into memory at the local university. She takes him home with her and asks him if she can get him something. He says he'd like to have a shave, a bath, and a change of clothing.
"No problem," she says, digging into her closet and pulling out a cardboard box full of relics of past relationships.

NINE CRAZILY RARE AND EXPENSIVE VINTAGE BAND T-SHIRTS
If you have one of these vintage shirts hanging around in the back of your closet, you could be in the money...
1969 Woodstock t-shirt - $1,188
When half a million people descended on Max Yasgur's farm in New York in August 1969 for three days of ‘Peace, Love and Music’, the one thing they didn’t find was an official t-shirt stand. In one of the biggest missed marketing opportunities of all time, the organisers of the Woodstock festival didn’t create any merchandise to sell to the enormous crowds. The only genuine Woodstock shirts ever produced were worn by the staff and crew who helped build the stage, manned medical tents and cleaned up in the aftermath with Hendrix’s guitar feedback still floating in the ether. However, that doesn’t mean there are no vintage 1969 Woodstock t-shirts – just no authorized ones. Local entrepreneurs and buck-chasing hippies simply printed their own shirts, and sold them at roadside stalls on the way to and from the event. This example, whilst in no way official, sold for $1,188 at Christie’s in 2007. Which goes to show that even bootleg t-shirts can be valuable if they’re truly vintage.
1976 Johnny Rotten t-shirt
This vintage shirt may or may not be official, but it’s definitely in-keeping with the punk spirit of the Sex Pistols. The band’s manager and mastermind Malcolm McLaren started out making clothes and t-shirts along with designer Vivienne Westwood for their boutique on the King’s Road, London. The anti-fashion slogans, cut-and-paste designs and deliberately controversial artwork (from swastikas to naked cowboys) helped give the punk movement its image, and the D.I.Y ethic behind the music also translated to merchandise. This shirt, bearing John Lydon’s snarling sneer and the slogan ‘Johnny...the King’ is highly rare and valued at $1,200.
John Lennon 1971 War Is Over t-shirt - $1,875
In 1971 John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band released the anti-Vietnam war protest song Happy Xmas (War is Over), which became one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time (and has been covered by everyone from Diana Ross to Neil Diamond). A series of t-shirts bearing the song’s lyrics “War is over! If you want it!” were released to promote the single, and in 2007 a surviving example sold at Christie’s in New York for $1,875.
Cranberries 1995 tour t-shirt - $2,500
This t-shirt dates from the relatively recent 1995 Cranberries world tour, conducted hot on the heels of their multi-million-selling album No Need To Argue and the number 1 single Zombie. Bought on the American leg, which saw them perform throughout August of that year, the shirt may not seem as rare as the others on the list – but for one collector at least, it was valuable enough to buy it for $2,500 on eBay in August 2014.
Rolling Stones 1973 Goats Head Soup tour crew t-shirt - $4,500
These embroidered shirts were created by the design team of Ritva and Mike Ross, and custom made for crew members on the Rolling Stones’ 1973 tour in support of the band’s album Goat’s Head Soup. Around 50 shirts were produced, but just a handful are believed to have survived the rigours of touring with the Stones. One example resides in the permanent collection of the V&A Museum, and another sold at Christie’s in New York 2007 for $4,250.
1977 The Runaways tour t-shirt - $7,500
All-girl rockers The Runaways formed in 1975, whilst still in the mid-teens, and took the music scene by storm - paving the way for the next generation of female artists such as Courtney Love, The Donnas and L7. They found themselves at the heart of the emerging punk scene on both sides of the Atlantic, and embarked on a world tour in 1977 that saw them mobbed like The Beatles in Japan. Their European ‘School Days’ tour, on the back of the album ‘Waitin’ for the Night’, saw them perform 24 gigs from October to December – and rare t-shirts from the tour are now valued at up to $7,500 each.
1976 Rolling Stones Knebworth tour crew t-shirt – $9,235
On August 21, 1976 The Rolling Stones descended on Knebworth House for their final live concert of the year. Many also thought it would be Keith Richard’s last-ever performance, as the skeletal guitar-slinger appeared to be (as always) on the verge of death, and the entire band had struggled through a terrible European tour just months earlier. However, the band performed a hugely-successful 30-song set and Keith survived to rock another day. A small number of t-shirts were printed for the band’s concert crew and friends, and today they rank amongst the rarest vintage Stones shirts valued at more than $9,000 each.
Led Zeppelin 1979 Knebworth Backstage Pass t-shirt - $10,000
In 1979, after a break of four years, rock juggernauts Led Zeppelin returned to the stage in the UK at Knebworth House to play two nights in front of an estimated 200,000 people. An army of family, friends, fans, hangers-on and pharmaceutical businessmen were looking for the holy grail – a backstage pass to the concert of the year. The band had a limited number of t-shirts printed to act as passes for their invited guests, which are now regarded as the rarest and most sought-after Led Zeppelin t-shirts in the world. In 2011, vintage clothing dealer Kyle Erminger sold one of the shirts on eBay for an incredible $10,000 to an anonymous Australian collector - a price made even more incredible by the fact he’d originally bought it for just $123!
Run D.M.C 1980 My Adidas t-shirt - $13,000
For rappers Run D.M.C, there was only ever one brand of footwear. They even wrote a song about it, and scored a pretty great sponsorship deal at the same time. The track My Adidas was the first single from the group’s double platinum-selling 1986 album Raising Hell, and secured a $1.2 million contract with the sportswear firm. Later that year, thirty t-shirts bearing both the Adidas logo and the Run D.M.C logo were produced for a concert, and the collaboration spawned one of the world’s most valuable vintage t-shirts – currently valued at up to $13,000.

1976 Rolling Stones Knebworth tour crew t-shirt – $9,235
On August 21, 1976 The Rolling Stones descended on Knebworth House for their final live concert of the year. Many also thought it would be Keith Richard’s last-ever performance, as the skeletal guitar-slinger appeared to be (as always) on the verge of death, and the entire band had struggled through a terrible European tour just months earlier. However, the band performed a hugely-successful 30-song set and Keith survived to rock another day. A small number of t-shirts were printed for the band’s concert crew and friends, and today they rank amongst the rarest vintage Stones shirts valued at more than $9,000 each.
And Keith is still with us. Gave an interview to the Daily Telegraph recently as he approaches 80 saying, among other things, that he hated rap "they are just shouting at me and calling it music".
A friend of mine almost had an orgasm as he touched her hand during a concert about 6 of years ago.

I wasn't a great Stones' fan. A few truly memorable songs and a large number of forgettable ones. I did see them live just once, at the open-air concert in Hyde Park in 1969. Or should I say, I heard them live just once. I arranged with a notoriously unreliable friend to meet under one the taller trees on the edge of the Cockpit. I waited, and waited, and gave up. By that time not only the Cockpit but the surrounding area was flooded with fans. I caught a glimpse of the stage, and that was all. Fortunately the concert was filmed and I think is still available as a DVD.

Mrs Obi and I are great early Stones fan. I saw them once live in the 60s and then not until the aforementioned concert a few years ago at Twickenham stadium. We had great seats (still won't let Mrs Obi know how much I had to pay, but she had never seen them before) right by the centre extension. Then a second time at Twickenham when I could only get seats in the middle tier which was not good for sound.
We have a great tribute band "Rolling Stoned"* in the UK who play all the oldies and dress like them, one member incredibly resembles Brian Jones.
*There was also one called The Strolling Bones, and a Fleetwood Mac tribute band called Fleetwood Shack ;D

I had no idea there were so many tribute bands in the UK. "Fleetwood Shack" is such a cool name.
Over the years I've heard some great bands who played note-perfect covers of classic rock tracks. One I remember vividly was a four-piece combo entertaining visitors to a shopping mall with a selection of Ventures' tunes. "Walk Don't Run", "Perfidia", "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue", and so on. Another was an anonymous band playing in a cellar club. I can't remember the set list, but the sound was so close to that of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac that it gave me goosebumps.
Yet another was a band calling themselves The Crystal Ship. Definitely a tribute band. They played track after track from The Doors' first two albums.

My son called me last night to check up on me. This is the other son, the one that’s going to graduate from college in May. He’s taking his LSAT next month, so let’s keep our fingers crossed. He’s got a faculty advisor helping him lay out a plan for admission to law school. It’s much more complicated than when I did it back in the day. I showed up for my LSAT late, and hungover, and had to borrow a number two pencil from someone. And I scored in the 99th percentile. Hope the acorn didn’t fall too far from the tree.

This morning I was able to get to my Verizon store. The tech guy.took my phone, gave it one look, open up something a clicked on something and handed the hone back to me.

Just a quick suggestion when this happens. And it will happen again.
Do not click anything.
Swipe up from the bottom of the phone to close your browser window.
Click on the little button that shows how many windows you have open. And close the windows for the offending program.
Nine times out of 10 that will take care of the problem. The important thing is not to install any software on your phone. Just close the window(s) with the offensive messages.

Went with my wife Monday to her appointment with her therapist who's helping with tips as her vision loss gets worse. I got upset as the last person she saw spent all the time on technology to help even though we kept saying she's not good with tech.
So this time I bluntly stated we didn't want to hear about anything electronic. Therapist said she understands. Her next word was Alexa. She went on to.say all Alexa could do with voice commands.
Put the app on the phone yesterday and played with it some. Ordered one of the Echo Dots which came a couple hours ago. Wife's taking to it like a pro. Already using the timer for dinner and knows how to start grocery list, something that's hard now with her sight. Guess I'll be walking around the store with my phone in my hand. Still much to learn but working well so far.

There are a lot of people who have an overly paranoid approach to information technology and tech. The truth of the matter is, this has been going on for 25-30 years now. Even the people who insist they are “off the grid” are not off the grid. If you have a phone, use a credit card, have a bank account, interact with government in anyway, from car registration to family law, to a criminal case, you’re in the system, and all of that data is being stacked and sorted in microseconds. If anybody needs to know something about you, there’s a 99% chance that it will be available.
I say that only as a background comment to your wife’s experience with Alexa. Enjoy it. I hope it works for you. And don’t let any of the conspiracy theorists convince you that this is a bad thing. This is the reality of life in the 21st-century. We stopped writing on clay tablets a long time ago.

Snail mail brought us a class action settlement check for $200. Yay! Free money. That was enough to make my day, but wait, there's more.
We actually got 3 separate envelopes with checks in them. One was made out to the missus, one to our son, and a third to my brother-in-law. Both of those guys lived with us for a spell.
Texted our son and he'll be over this weekend to pick his up. The one for my brother-in-law was a little more problematic. He died seven years ago. I was gearing up to call the lawyers and try to convince them to send a check made out to my wife, his executor.
Just before I picked up the phone, I decided to try and solve it locally. I took his check, his death certificate and a court document that certified my wife as his executor to our credit union. After I explained the whole situation the lady went back to talk to her supervisor and came back about two minutes later and said they were going to allow me to deposit his check along with ours.
Yay! More free money.

I do some probate law and estate planning. And it really is important to have a good relationship with your local bank. They can make your life a living hell, or be relatively easy to deal with. I’m so glad you got the second kind.
Next time, just endorse the check properly and deposit it. Nine times out of ten there won’t be a problem. In Texas it would be: “brother-in-law’s name, by wife’s name, independent administrator of the estate of brother-in-law’s name.” With online banking, you don’t even have to go down to the bank to do that. If they reject it, then set up the meeting.
Free money is good.

Buy beans from the grocery bins. I like French Roast. Something with a lot of oil on the bean. I bag my own and use a grinder. No telling how long ago that stuff in the coffee aisle has been sitting in the bag. Up your game baby.

Went shopping with Alexa this morning. We've been working with the feature that keeps a list for us. For the last few days when one of us thought of something we needed, we just asked Alexa to add it to our list.
I could see the list on my phone and we could ask Alexa to tell us what was on the list. OK, that may like the height of laziness or just an excuse to play with a new toy. Now consider that my wife has limited vision. For her to put something on paper means letters a couple inches high. For her to just tell an AI has been so freeing.
So, off I went to the store, phone containing our list. Our paper list used to be organized to just follow the aisles. I was prepared to have to jump around a lot. Wrong! Alexa had things on the list organized along the store's layout. I zipped right through the list. As an item went in the cart, I touched the box next to the item and ZIP, it went into the completed list.
Only snag...we got to the check out line and I told Alexa I forgot my wallet and would she pay. "Sorry Bob, I don't know that command." :facepalm: :emot_laughing:

Bob, you need to start a tutorial page for all Alexa has to offer.
What made my day.....
Well, something funny actually. We went to the movies today. She Came To Me starting Anne Hathaway, Peter Derklage and Marisa Tormei. It was a little weird, but they were such kooks, I just was laughing at each series of events as they unfolded.
The real comedy came after the movie. I had my empty popcorn bag to Dan to get a refill (1 free refill), while I went to the bathroom. When I come out of the bathroom and as I walk toward concessions, I see Dan talking to the manager at the back of concessions. We're regulars and when there is nobody at concessions, these two chatter on like a couple of old ladies. (No offense to elderly women here). Anyways as I get closer, I hear Dan say, "She Came."
The manager at 12 feet behind the counter, refilling our popcorn bags says "She Came?"
Dan looks at his ticket and says in response, "Yep, She Came!"
The manager gets a weird look on his face and says again, "Really, She Came?"
Dan says, "Yep, She Came."
There are two women standing 5 feet behind Dan that are looking disgusted. As Dan walked toward me I asked, "What was that all about?" While noticing the two women looking from Dan to the manager with disgust.
Dan answered, "Nick asked what movie we came to see today, I told him, and he didn't recognize the name, which was weird."
I said, "It is SHE CAME TO ME! What's weird is you two yelling 'SHE CAME' over and over."
He said, "Oh. Yeah, that would be weird. Well, when he asked, I had to look at the ticket because I didn't remember the name."
He then pulled the ticket out and showed me.

The last several days had some made my day moments so I'll start with the weekend.
Saturday I drove an hour south and Shannon drove an hour north, and we met at this small town. We've done this plenty of times before. Amanda was working, and unable to join us. We talked about everything. I told her about what happened in the store, which is the main reason for the trip. I told her the whole story and after some tears, she cheered me up like she has always done, and we started laughing and having a good time. We usually do some shopping or catch a movie, but we just stayed at your cafe for hours. Had lunch, and I got a sandwich to go.
Sunday I went to Allan's parents again to watch the bears game with them. No jerseys or team colors for me this time. We went really early and watched a game before the bears even played, but I forget who it was. I spent quite a bit of time talking with his mother on the kitchen away from the men, and I ended up telling her, because I'm terrible at hiding it when I'm upset or not feeling myself, and she asked what was wrong a few times. She gave me what I can only describe as the most motherly hug I've ever felt, and I believe that made me cry more than retelling what had happened. I didnt want that hug to stop. Anyways, the game was exciting right up till the end. The guys were whooping and jumping around thinking it'll be a win, but nope, not this time.
When we got back to Allan's place, we just relaxed on the sofa watching some weird show on Prime where this girl can control blood and turn it into weapons... I dont know I wasn't paying much attention. As we watched, Allan grabbed me and muscled me over to him and just held me. I had received a PM from a loved KB member and since I read it, it was all I wanted, and now it was happening. He just wrapped me up and held me. I cried so damn hard, at the same time, I felt so very comfortable and so very safe. He never asked me anything, or tried to "fix it", he just held me. The only thing I remember him saying was something like "whatever this is you're stronger than it and you're gonna be ok". I ended up falling asleep leaning against him.
Monday was a bit of a downer as the police came by my place of work to ask me some more questions. I didnt really appreciate that, and asked of they could have just called me. They needed me to look through some photos, and I believe one of the half dozen pics was the one who grabbed at me, but I'm nor 100% sure. He asked if I wanted to show up to one of this kids court dates and see if it really was him. I dont want to see these people ever again. I can't face them know what they did. So instead I wrote out a victim statement that they can use in court even if he wasn't the person who assaulted me. So monday was a bit of a backwards step but I traded E-mails with Watcher, so that was a plus.
Tuesday me and a couple coworkers drove to door country to look at all the beautiful autumn foliage. It was supposed to be peak colors last week, but that week of 90s in late September threw everything off, and it was absolutely gorgeous there. We did some winery happing, did some shopping at the small shops, and had dinner in fish creek. On the way home I stopped and picked up some local made whiskey and a charcuterie board for Allan. It was just an all around awesome day that ended perfectly on top of him.
Today I'm cleaning my apartment... ugh

.... He just wrapped me up and held me. I cried so damn hard, at the same time, I felt so very comfortable and so very safe. He never asked me anything, or tried to "fix it", he just held me.
Hugs are the best. I can never get enough. I know they don't fix everything, but they sure help a lot in the moment. And I never want them to end either. Love you. >>>>>>HUG<<<<<<<<

My ex, Russian number one, called and asked if I would have lunch with her. She is the mother of my Phi Beta Kappa honor student.
She recently split up with the tennis instructor that she left us for, and she wanted to talk about her new, romantic interest. A financial advisor, who is still married to the same woman he had three kids with.
It was a really awkward occasion. I’m happy, if she’s happy, but hell, she’s not even receiving child support from the tennis instructor yet. And her new boyfriend has been paying child support and alimony for years, with no resolution. In other words, they both have a lot of unfinished business that would suggest waiting to start a new relationship.
It looks like a train wreck in slow motion from where I’m standing. But there’s no telling her anything. She’ll rush in where angels fear to tread. Proven that more times than I can remember. We’ve known each other for 23 years. We lived together for 15 of those. She said, “you know me better than anyone.“ I simply said, “that’s right.“ I didn’t dare tell her what I think.
The guy is 6’4” tall, so all I can figure is he has a monster cock and she can’t wait to get some. She told me she hasn’t been properly laid in seven years. Coincidentally, we split up seven years ago. LOL.

Remember the client I was bitching about? She had some 2 Liter soda bottles fall on her foot at a local retailer. We call that a “falling merchandise” case. I sued everybody, they removed it to Federal court. In the end, it looks like she had about $1500 in medical and would you believe it? I got her $30,000 today. Holy fuck. That’s 20 times her medical bills. That never happens in this business.

I got a little drunk (yeah, LOL) watching football and baseball last night, so I ordered groceries on the app (I was hangry) for delivery this am. And all the food was on the porch this morning. So lots to chose from and I don’t have to go through the hassle of walking the aisles, self checkout, bagging, carrying stuff to the car and into the house. Cost for delivery? $7.39. No tipping allowed. A bargain.

We have a grocery chain in Texas called H-E-B, which is short for the H. E. Butts Co. So yes, I grocery shop at Butts.
Anyway, they have absolutely made an art form out of quality groceries at low prices. 1000% better than Walmart or Safeway or Albertsons.
They started curbside delivery when Covid hit, and it is fabulous. You just order your selections on line, and they will bag it all for you and just drop it in your car, when you arrive at the store. FOR FREE. Again, no tipping allowed.
For folks like Bob, with mobility issues, the inexpensive delivery option is a god send. Just be sure to tell them you like your avocados ripe, or you will get a green rock. LOL.

I don't mind going to the store. It gets me out of the house
Hanging on to the grocery cart keeps me mobile as I cruise the aisles and the exercise is good for me. Dang it tho. When I get home there's usually one or two extra things that fell into the cart. I think they make the shelves tilt and if you get too close........
I never go to the self checkout. I want a real person and in most cases we can exchange pleasant comments. There will come a day tho' when I will need the delivery or pick-up services. (Big sigh)

Here we lost alberstons, food world, and food max, replaced with target, walmart, and the grocery only walmart that closed last month due to the stupidity of putting it withing a couple of miles of a walmart that sold groceries, and we got two aldi's and a world market, and whole foods, which I will never set foot in again. We still have a Winn Dixie, but its a pain to get to, clear on the other side of town on the highway. We also have a Sams club and BJ's but I rarely shop in bulk anymore, unless I absolutely need too. Well the ladies go to stock up on their supplies, but here you almost have to tip and the delivery fees at the cheapest are 10 bucks. We also have two or three of those "at cost plus ten percent" stores, which are good if you want to save a little, but all in all nowadays you need a treasure map and a full tank of gas to fill your shopping list. So I usually now delegate the shopping to my wife or Ashley, since they like the hunt for good deals. but its sad that not one store can carry everything you need at one time. I remember me and my siblings shopping with mom, who loved to shop, but made it her point to not waste dad's gas. Fun times corralling kids, while getting what my mom told me to go get.

WOO and Amen, quote for truth. Evermans is another store I wont shop at here. I absolutely hate self checkout. Go into Circle K for a quick grapico and slim jim, and getting charged 12 bucks. Never again. What is the point of self check out if the damned things fuck up, requiring an actual employee to fix? Why not keep the bored looking check out people employed and skip the hassle?

But when I do have an issue, it's hell trying to explain what happened. But Dan is with me most of the time so no big deal. Kroger I have issues at all the time. Meijer is my main shopping center. They have an app I can scan as I put it in the cart. They are the easiest.

What truly made my day today, besides the double birthdays in my family, was picking up my new Mexican temporary resident card. I'm now legally allowed to stay in Mexico for three more years. At that point, I can apply for permanent residency which never has to be renewed.Are we going to go for Mexican citizenship. Probably not. I doubt that our Spanish will ever be good enough for that. But the only thing citizenship gives you that residency doesn't is the right to vote.

I got to where the story is, and then I have this big han between there and when they start kissing.
*** The feel of Diane's soft lips was an unexpectedly welcomed sensation. They were slow deep kisses that told of a hunger that she was more than familiar with. A hunger she herself had many, many times before. That hunger now grew within her. She began leaning into those wonderful lips. Those beautiful kisses.
Beautiful as they were, it was not enough to distract her from noticing the zipper at the back of her dress being slowly drawn down. ***
It goes on from there but getting from the talking to this point is being difficult for me. I dont want them to just go at it. I dont know how to get the energy right between them.
I am however very much enjoying writing this story.

That's always been the hardest thing for me, and I typically get stuck at the exact same place as you in this story.
The set-up is wonderful, and I get a real feel for the place and the people in it. I love your description of Diane as "a statuesque woman with a look of experience and knowledge held up by an unquestionable beauty." She, too, resonates as a realistic character. As does "Sheila," with her knowing and wanting, yet hesitating. And I noted the spelling of "Sheila's" name.

This may not sound like a WMMD but stick with me. Met with the wife of my best friend who just passed away. She wanted my wife and I to help with the planning of the memorial service. We met with a local minister and told him about Bob, a husband and beloved friend. The four of us were like a unit for so many years. Like a wheel fell off the wagon.
Talking about all the good times was uplifting. As those who know me, I'm a recovering drug addict. The date of Bob's service is November 9th... the day I celebrate my 36 years of clean time. Karma
After our business was finished with, took our friend to lunch. She seldom let's us treat as she came into lots of money when her parents died. When we go out she says it's a treat from _______________ (insert parents names). Today it was our treat.
So in spite of the reason the day was uplifting.

I have seen Jimmy Buffett in concert many, many times. Little known fact is that he wrote “Margaritaville“ in my town of Austin, Texas. He went with Jerry Jeff Walker out to a Tex-Mex place on N. Lamar Blvd., and the two of them got very drunk while Buffett tried unsuccessfully to get laid. So they went back to Jerry Jeff’s house, and he wrote the song, not realizing it would become the greatest hit of his career, and the basis of a huge, multimillion dollar empire.

When we were going to Zihuatanejo, Mexico I used to see hand made signs for Kenny Kenny. He would be at a different bar each year. One year he was at the small lounge where we were staying. He was awful! But he was singing Jimmy Buffett songs... badly.
Found out he, like us loved Zihua and would sing for tips just to afford to stay down there. I gained a new respect for him. That didn't make me like his music any better but we started stopping by where ever he was "performaning".
Eventually he met a young lady down there and took her home to the U.S. That was the last we saw of him.

I could use not wanting another night on the couch as an excuse, but we do have one other spare bed here that would put holes in my reason for leaving. So, I can't. Guess I'll sleep in the middle ones bed if he still sounds bad.
The constant coughing makes me want to buy a hazmat suit.
Doctor says he's not contagious but I'm not taking chances. Bronchitis is the diagnosis.

I know how everyone must be feeling. After the radiation treatment I had several weeks ago, I ended up with a terrible cough. There were three different departments discussing me for a while.
Finally it was decided my esophagus got irritated from all the radiation. The cough ended as quick as it started. It was a rough time for awhile, for both wife and me.
Hope Dan gets over his problem soon.

She has shed quite a bit of weight. All she could do was talk about how good she has been feeling of late. Everything seems to have gotten easier for her. She said it was all because of me. I highly doubt that's true, and I told her it was her work that did it, not me, but it was very sweet she said it.

Never underestimate your value to others. It might be a kind word, a gentle gesture, or even a head nod that could pull someone out of the mire they are in.
I went to PT yesterday, and made friends with this young man who got badly injured at the university's summer football camp. I never talked to him before, but yesterday I was using the leg lift machine, before heading to the pool, and he looks over at me and chuckles. I got mad, and asked him whats so funny? He said that its rare to see someone work so hard for a long term gain. I said I will never be able to walk right again, but I am working to have a dignified gimp pimp limp. He laughed out loud, drawing the room's attention to us. So when I finished my set, we spoke further and he felt bad that he cant join his team this season. I told him, the long term gains from PT is that you will get back to playing. And then I went and made an ass of myself in the pool, accidentally barreling into an old man.

In spite of the occasion, this day featuring the memorial service for my best friend Bob was WMMD. Yes, we were both Bob's.
He was cremated so visitation consisted of numerous pictures taken through the years. One Halloween he went as the Frankenstein monster. Being 6'5" he was perfect. So much so he had a large portrait framed and hung one the wall of his house.
That photo was placed prominently in the lobby along with a couple of posters.noards of other pictures. Somehow it seemed appropriate that the Frankenstein monster was there to greet the mourners and it was well received.
We'd located a minister who also happened to be in recovery. He was very light hearted and brought some good humor to a celebration of life. After a few brief words the celebration was opened up to who ever wanted to say something. The minister told us to keep it short and reminded everyone he was a Marine and if anyone went too long.....well.
Many of those there were also in recovery so it almost like 12 Step meeting. I got to share that I first met Bob when we were still using and later on ended up in the same treatment center. G
Got to meet several family members and neighbors. There was a lunch after and people circulating and talking. It was truly a Celebration of Life.

Made me smile. Made me cry. Happy tears, but I vividly remember saying goodbye to my best friend, 9 years ago already.
Sending you hugs. Glad your daughter was there with you.

In spite of the occasion, this day featuring the memorial service for my best friend Bob was WMMD. Yes, we were both Bob's.
He was cremated so visitation consisted of numerous pictures taken through the years. One Halloween he went as the Frankenstein monster. Being 6'5" he was perfect. So much so he had a large portrait framed and hung one the wall of his house.
That photo was placed prominently in the lobby along with a couple of posters.noards of other pictures. Somehow it seemed appropriate that the Frankenstein monster was there to greet the mourners and it was well received.
We'd located a minister who also happened to be in recovery. He was very light hearted and brought some good humor to a celebration of life. After a few brief words the celebration was opened up to who ever wanted to say something. The minister told us to keep it short and reminded everyone he was a Marine and if anyone went too long.....well.
Many of those there were also in recovery so it almost like 12 Step meeting. I got to share that I first met Bob when we were still using and later on ended up in the same treatment center. G
Got to meet several family members and neighbors. There was a lunch after and people circulating and talking. It was truly a Celebration of Life.
WMMD: I bought some raffle tickets to help out a pregnant secretary, since the guy who knocked her up ghosted her. The raffle was for the winner to get to pick who is getting dunked at the company fall festival this weekend. I won, and I elected that the entire sales staff take turns getting dunked, though my suggestion for them to get a parts washing bath was rejected. So the upper sales people who have annoyed me to no end will get dunked. That feeling of retribution is sweeter than pie.
Ms.Slave - my mother and grandfather were cremated, and the picture slide show, shown me how little I knew of my mothers life before me. It is a nice way to bond with those that are grieving with you.

Out of nowhere, my friend has a date. She text me last night telling me, I immediately called her because texting just does not get answers quick enough. She bumped into him at a Starbucks a week ago. He had walked up to the door just in front of her, then turned and held the door for her. She walked past, but told him to step in front of her in line. He declined. She was in a hurry that morning, was rushed, and was irritated there were 6 people in front of her in line. He started talking to her. And by the times the coffee had arrived, he had asked for her number. She has a google voice number that she has at the ready. And he called her yesterday afternoon. He's a doctor. Going to a somewhat fancy place near us, so she is getting dressed up. I'm going over a couple of hours before. So excited for her. She's the best and she always ends up finding bums.

Sounds like a RomCom movie script. I hope she has a great date. Who knows maybe years from now they'll be toasting on an anniversary and laughing about meeting in line waiting for coffee.
If he's another bum, get Dan better so he can go kick some ass..

Found out earlier what he is a doctor of. Podiatry. Free feet checkups for me now. Get to have another man fondling my feet and not having to pay him for it like I usually do.

Tonight I will sleep in the same bed. My bed. My blankets. Can't wait.

Following the hail storm last summer I was on here about the army of roofers pounding on our door. Not only that but Google caught a lot more spam calls. I'm guessing most were roofing salesman.
We've had several on our block use their insurance coverage to get a new roof.
Meanwhile I bent three of my canes getting them off my porch. Some have learned. We've had the doorbell ring and by the time I get there the pest is already off the porch and a couple steps down the walk. :D They still won't stop pitching tho'.
Anyway...WMMD. The house across the street is getting a new roof. They started yesterday and our daylight is down to just a few hours. It's dark by 5:30.
Well the crew kept working in the dark. On the roof nailing down shingles and people geeoing up and down the ladder with supplies... for light they all had LED lights on their caps. As we watched TV it was fun to look at all the little lights swarming all over the house as they worked.
Back at it today and when I was out getting the paper I watched as one carried a 4X8 sheet of something up the ladder by himself. An OSHA inspector drove by at the same time and had a heart attack. :emot_laughing:

I used to do framing (carpentry) by day and roofing by night. When it is 100° in the shade, you don’t want to lay shingles until sunset. I was young and not very smart. I’d be at it at 5 am and work until midnight. Sleep a few hours, and do it again. Oh to be young again.

We just decided we are going to go up to the cottage for Thanksgiving. BUT, we're going a week early. Leaving this Wednesday 11/15 morning and returning the Monday 11/27 after Thanksgiving.
WMMD because the cottage is one of my favorite places on earth. WRMD because I have no internet and I will miss you guys.
Delaying it one day so that our friend Barb can go with us on Thursday morning. When the kids come up, she'll drive their car home.

My son is graduating in May from the University of Texas. So there is something called the “ring ceremony“ today, where the seniors get their class rings. I plan to attend, so I dug around in the safety deposit box, and found my old class ring. I graduated from the University of Texas in 1983, 40 years ago. And what made my day is that the ring slipped on my finger like it did the very first time I wore it. I haven’t had my class ring on my hand since I got married, in 1998. So it’s been a few years. Hope to get some photos with my son, both showing our UT pride.

If you read the latest post I made in "My Doctor Visit", Members Bar, you'll know I finished a weeklong trial of a spinal cord stimulator. It sent electronic signals to my spine and helped greatly with my leg pain and I was able to walk better.
Of course Thursday test ended and I was right back where I started. I've agreed to have surgery to implant a permanent device. Surgery date is December 18th. Once I get a pre-op physical I can go on a list for any cancellations and get in sooner.
I notified the VA Thursday afternoon about what was needed and was told they'd call me. Figured at best I might here something next week..
Nope. Got a call this morning. ON A SATURDAY! There's an opening Monday at 8:30. So ball is rolling. Be nice to get the surgery done early but even so December 18th isn't that far off.
VA gets a WOO for calling on a Saturday.

Moving up will be great.
I always wonder why someone would cancel. Did that get a serious illness, death in the family etc. Silly I know, should just be happy I get bumped up.
When I signed up for the VA I had to wait until there was room. I kept thinking how many WWII vets had to die before there was room for me.

Woke up this morning, the sun was shining for the first time in a couple of days, the birds were singing and everything was right with the world, that is until work called me in. Apparently an important file the upper demon lords needed and had went missing, so its all hands on deck to scour the building for it. I got bent real quick, so I did not even get dressed for work, opting for a hoodie and gym shorts. I showed up, went to the top floor, moved the potted plant on the owners desk, then moved his bag of bagels, and newspaper, and boom, it was right there. He apologized and asked what would I like for the trouble. A breakfast at the club he is a member of. So dressed like a slob, he took me to breakfast, and gave me ten bucks for the gas I wasted.
The reason I did not say anything about it, was that I was the one who put it in his "Incoming/Important" papers tray. Because a form inside it needed my signature. So I came home with a full belly and gas in the SUV.

I was the first person to arrive at the office today, because some idiot set a hearing for 9 AM. Two or three more people dribbled in by noon, and our office manager (working remotely as always) sent an email telling everyone they could go home at 12:30. Jesus Christ. They were only four of us who came in.
But hitting the bourbon early. The holiday is here.

Obviously a feeling of a great accomplishment. No doubt you did your homework.
Congratulations on the good outcome.
Thanks. But sometimes you just get lucky. I know the judge. He’s an old friend.
I was more worried about technical difficulties. Because we did the hearing on Zoom. And anytime I come back to the office after a long holiday weekend, there has usually been a “Windows update.“ And you get the dreaded blue screen that tells you not to turn off the computer for 94 minutes. So I went to the office at 7 AM to make sure everything booted up and was working properly. But that gave me time to review the file, so we were in good shape.

I used zoom to communicate with some (but mainly FaceTime), it seemed Zoom had an update every single week and I couldn't use it until I updated. One thing I hate about it.
WMMD... I slept straight through since my last post. Still feel like sh*t. But woke up to the smell of homemade chicken noodle soup. Thank you, Dan. It was just so good, and so warming for my cold body. Currently in my cuddle duds with p.j.'s over them. And my thickest socks. With a blanket over me.

Allan swung by my work and dropped off his fuzzy baby girl, so when I wasnt working on something else, i was sitting with her and snuggling her. I even ate lunch with her. Was an awesome day, but the awesomenessness was just getting started.
After work, I went to drop her off, and he was waiting for me with a packed bag. He asked if I had my overnight bag in my trunk, and then said we were going up to door county... WHAT!!! He had made reservations at condo hotel in fish creek. He know I'm off of work the next couple days, so he took some vacation and said we were going away for a bit. Coming back Wednesday.
It snowed on sunday, which made everything in door county a different kind of beautiful. Summer is amazing up there, but winter is so beautiful with the benefit of not a lot of people. Summer is crowded with people and FIBs. The parks are gorgeous covered in snow and ice from the lake. The restaurants and bars are never crowded either. Most places have seasonal hours, but we still had plenty to do.
Had the best time.

Our youngest is 14 today. She loves my chocolate cookies, and she wants that instead of a cake. Okay. But I want me some cake. So that's for me. I picked up the ice cream yesterday.
Not sure if this is known, but when she was adopted, the agency didn't know her birthdate. So my sister and her husband made it the same day as their anniversary. They didn't really celebrate their anniversary because as she used to tell me , they celebrated their marriage every single day.
So happy birthday to 'A', and happy anniversary to Karen and Kevin also.

We watched the Big Ten Championship. Michigan beat Iowa 20-0.
Prior to the game, I read about a bar owner in Iowa that was serving free beer from the beginning of the game, up until the Iowa team scored (or until the end of the game). I was hoping for a field goal somewhere in there. Poor guy.
'A' had a wonderful birthday. She wanted Dan's Chilli for her birthday dinner. I made a cake, and chocolate chip cookies. Some ice cream. I had a little bourbon. I was thinking my stomach would be a rumbling volcano, but it endured. haha
The best part. The middle one facetime the birthday girl from the car on the way to a party, apologizing for not being able to come. Little did I know, that she was actually on her way home. So, we had the whole family together. We played 'SORRY', which I HATE, but bd girls wishes, Yahtzee and Phase 10. Late night. Fun night. Everybody still sleeping at 9:40am.
And I don't think I mentioned that the middle one turned 21 over Thanksgiving weekend. That was fun.
Speaking of Thanksgiving weekend, in front of everyone at the dinner table, the middle one told me was thankful to me for all I do for her, and apologized for being a little shit to me in Dan's and my early days. She told me she also loves me for being so accepting of, and including her mother in on our activities. So yeah, we had a nice cry together over dinner, along with her mother..

Earlier, I mentioned we should have people over before the holidays. Sent out a text to our peeps. And next thing you know, 20 friends are coming over this Friday. Not one person or couple said they couldn't make it. So, spent the day decorating the interior of the house. It really looks great. Dan was outside cleaning yard most of day. We're both whipped. Tomorrow is food shopping day. All finger foods/aopetizers. Figuring out some group party games. A lot to do Thursday and Friday. Baking, prepping. So fun, but stressful. Hired two of the oldest's friends to serve/maid/clean during the party. I'll be stressing come Thursday night and Friday morning.

Between the three of us, Shannon was the one who would most likely become a mom, and it's finally going to happen. Been off celebrating with them. I could not be happier for her. Shes nervous and worried about being ready, but we are getting to that age where if it isnt now, it may be too late. Don't want to have to use a walker at her kid's highschool graduating.

Party is tonight. Cleaning the house (again) day, mainly floors. Wood floors throughout. AND, it's raining! Yay. Some last minute food prep. Was dying the deviled eggs filling green for a touch of Christmas color a bad idea? beginning to think so, too late now. Otherwise, I'm in good shape. First guests at 6:00pm. Party-party-party. Get up in the morning and clean the house again. Like washing your hair. Wash, rinse, repeat.
How exciting! Auntie Sheila (She-she for years one through 3.). I was Aunt Lala to my friends children for the first few years. I never had children, but I enjoyed the hell out of my friends pregnancy's and watching them grow up. I know you will enjoy it also. The great thing is, you'll get all the fun times, wind them up and when you're out of energy, you can walk out the door and Shannon is left with that little monster that still is going 110 mph because 'she-she' would her up.

She's already setting ground rules. Boundaries are important!! No pumping her/him up with sugar and then leaving. No getting her/him all excited before bedtimes. All that kind of stuff.
Yeah right!! Like I'm gonna listen to that nonsense! You'd think she'd know me by now LoL!! I spent about three hours online shopping for gifts, even though she's less than two months pregnant. Didn't buy anything though, just filled up the "shopping cart" but didn't purchase. I cleared out the cart after the excitement, and tequila, got out of my system.
Green deviled eggs... maybe if you could decorate them to look like the grinch.?.? You've got enough to do already though.

Party went great. We played white elephant gift, which was a riot. I didn't drink much. Stayed hydrated. My 'maids' were so worth it. Kept the place clean instead of me chasing down empties. I had some of my best bourbon out, but the big his was vodka and cranberry juice. Sams Club had bacon wrapped shrimp, that were delicous, with the girls bringing out a new wave every 20 minutes for the first two hours. Bacon wrapped jalapeño peppers. Ham and cheese mini sandwiches, lots of snacks foods. Everybody brought something to share. Last two couples left at 2:00am, and we were in bed by 2:10am. I didn't sleep that great, but I was in no hurry to get out of bed. 10:30am. Did a bit more cleaning, then a nap at 1:00 while Dan turned on the games. I've just been tired all day.
Lions lost, but we were in too much of a zombie like state to care. Just chilled all day.

Next year I plan on making the trip to Michigan. If nothing else I can serve and clean. Even towel boy if needed. :D :emot_kiss:
P.S. What about the green deviled eggs?

I don't make deviled eggs frequently enough to know the recipe by heart. And it's not in my recipe book. So as always, I google how to make the filling. The recipe I came up with had sugar in it, which I have never done before. So, why not. They were delicious. Quite a few comments on the green food coloring. It just looked off. But they looked good on the platter. Used a dozen eggs, so 24 half eggs. End of the night we threw out 4. So they were enjoyed.
Thank you for asking.

Very happy to hear it was a blast. I too was wondering about those eggs. Never made them with sugar, but I've got my recipe memorized so I dont ever look for new ones. Might try a dash of sugar.
Woo for a successful party!

Thanks, it was so fun.
It was Saturday, so you know my memory might be off. I think 1 tsp, and 1 tsp salt. Too comfy under a blanket watching house hunters to get up and look. I printed it and stuck it in my recipe book, made a note to go with half that amount of salt. in the recipe. Will make again for Xmas and report back.

Somewhat more mundane, but I successfully replaced one of the the fan/motor combinations in our double oven. Worst part was manouevering it single handed, even though it is floor standing.

I love fixing stuff that would cost an arm and a leg to have a repairman fix. Youtube is your friend. I've replaced pulleys and drive belts in the dryer, and a motor pump in the washer. Dan is always like, I know a guy I can call. I say, "Go get me my toolbox". Now I have him do them. Watch YouTube, don't be overpaying someone else to do it.
Woo to DIY Obs!

My attitude entirely, MJ. It's terribly difficult to get a repairman even to visit in the UK. Nobody wants to do practical courses, it's all media studies. :( Yet a craft apprenticeship is so much cheaper to attend.

Wife, daughter and I went out to lunch today. We were celebrating our December birthdays. All three of are December "babies".
Enjoyed great meals. Daughter added things up while waiting for our food.
Between the three of us the combined ages came to 216.

Wife and the others are coming home tonight. I succeeded in test deep frying a turkey, in the middle of my back yard, away from all flammable objects. It was a success, so tomorrow, I will do another one, to bring on Christmas day, to annoy my cousins who want faux turkey this year. Not that they are vegans or anything, but because they want a meat free meal. But I have sad news for them, that there will be no meat free options outside of those needed by the family members that need it as a dietary need. Also all my packages came in, and lets list this under "Writer is becoming forgetful." My wife's presents came in, that I had completely forgotten I ordered last month. Welp there goes my retirement. lol.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We had a very enjoyable day. A fine dinner with a good friend.. Prime rib so tender we cut it with a butter knife.
The only thing Miss was my good friend Bob who died.a couple months ago. His wife was so pleased that at least the three of us could be together.

Nope at her house. She did buy a "meal kit" from Jerry's, an up scale grocery. Prime rib went into the oven for an hour and a half. Add mashed potatoes and some very sweet carrots and ready made feast. Oh, a great cake came with the meal.
Murray's is the home of the butter knife steak. 😋 '

Our Christmas was quiet. Just Mrs JBRG and myself. We did go to a friend's place for a potluck Christmas dinner. Way too much food to be had. I should have skipped dessert. My gut was on fire all night. Good time was had by all. We even held a pick and/or steal gift exchange. I came home with a Mexico 1 Highway marker to add to our decor. Just have to decide where it will go. Mrs JBRG came home with one of those "Seen on TV" super knives.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with the people who are important to you.

Two days prepping and it went by like a whirlwind. Kids tearing through gifts and drinks being tossed back like water. It was a great time.
For the kids, National lampoon's Christmas vacation was on replay most of the day, then all three grinch movies. Original, followed by the live action and then ended with the newer animated one.
The rest of us had Christmas music playing while everybody talked, snacked, and played card games. My cousins were hooting and hollering watching the football games. Everybody seemed happy to see KC lose. Plenty of food, but nothing big. All snack type foods. Plenty of meatballs.
Lindsey was being her normal bitchy self, but I wasn't around to see her implode about having to help clean things up. I left and went to Allan's parents for a bit. Sat and talked with pretty much everybody in his family. Had a few questions about our future together and the big M word. We're happy as thing are. At least that's what I feel, and what he says he feels. Other than that awkward talk, had a blast with everybody.

This may become a wall of text, but this has to be told.
Christmas 2023: The battle of BetterthanYou's 2 the electric boogaloo.
Four families. My mom's side and dad's side, and my Wife's mom and dads sides.
Understand this, it is the year 2023, and the Writer empire faces a war of four armies. It started Saturday night...
Wife and everyone came home from finishing up their Christmas prep, and I was relaxing to the "Carol of the Bells" sipping some fine cognac, whatever was left after I made my brandied and cognac candied fruits for a recipe, that I started last Christmas, since it takes a long time for the booze to bring out the full flavor of the candied fruits. The families were doing their own things, when I get a phone call...
"Writer, come get your Uncle Joe."
It was a little bar I frequent often, and they pretty much know my dad's side of the family. So I head out to take him back to the hotel. No troubles, and he overpaid me for gas. But before I could get my feet back to the front of the fire, my mom's cousin calls me, I have to go get my lush of a Great Aunt, from one of the more upscale restaurants in the Cola. I mean this place is like a 50 dollar a plate, suit and tie place. I was no where near dressed enough to enter, but the owner let me in. I was a busboy after highschool as one of the jobs I held when trying to care for my family. He let me in, robe and all, even offered me some caviar and some really top shelf liquor. I said I had to drive, so he wrapped up a bottle of Dom for me, and gave me a goodie bag of sweets. I was elated, as their sweets are to die for. But I had to remove my lush great aunt from the bar, since she was one more ass touch of a waiter away from going to jail. Oh boy, she chewed my ass out all the way back to her sisters house (maternal grandmother.) My grandmother unceremoniously dumped her on the couch to sleep it off.
But my entire night was spent rescuing my drunken family, both sides.
At least I had some rich decadent treats.
(I left that restaurant on good terms, and the owner was a rich man on the outside, and a grease monkey under all of that money. He helped me with my truck when it would break down at the restaurant.)
Sunday, Christmas Eve, and the start of the war.
First off, my wife busted her ass off trying to find a place that can accommodate over a hundred or so people. So we booked two of the private rooms at the Golden Horse pen (not dropping any trademarked names.) Which we thought would be fine. How sweet, and naive we were. Her rich side of the family looked down their noses at the place from the get go. My family had to expose the backwoods hillbilly gene's in us, by sitting with the richie's talking about hunting, fishing and other outdoor things that my wife's family who has money does not do. My close family mostly kept to ourselves as the family tried pushing kid wrangling duties on to my youngest eighteen year old daughter. I wasn't having it. Shes almost a proper adult and they needed to tend to their own kids. The rich side of my family who were clashing with the rich folks on my wife's side pulled their usual shit on me, and both families ganged up on me and my wife, like they always do, since we are not rich, we must have a purpose, which is to be unpaid babysitters for the little snots they barely care about. My maternal grandmother, who is still the matriarch of my moms side of the family took charge, since she has this weird power that makes any child under the age of fourteen obey her unconditionally. She is scary good in that respect.
While I was trying enjoy my time with my family and a good meal, it would be her father's cousin that would ignite the powderkeg.
Our families have a tradition on both sides. The kids would receive a small gift, usually a small toy for the youngest, and usually cash or giftcards for the older, to celebrate good grades or accomplishments during the year. Its not mandatory, if you cant give a little, and there is no pressure to. Its more of a distraction for the kids while the adults talk shop. My great grand aunt has perpetually lived with the notion that I am still in high school, and thinks my son and daughters are my friends from school, and my wife is my girlfriend. But she handed me a card, and a card to my wife, which as always had a hundred bucks in it for me and her. The cousin, who is a right dickheaded dbag, a grown man mooching off of his parents, and their money, loudly complained that he did not get a card and it was wrong that I got one. Fortunately for me, my great grand aunt had returned to the other room before he went off on his tirade, and I finally had enough.
"You are twenty two, bro. Grow the fuck up."
"Why did you get money and I didn't, its not fair."
"She is senile, you pompous prick, we usually put the money back in her purse before she returns to the Home."
"You idiotic poor motherfu----"
"Slap."
My wife did not let him finish that sentence, as she stood and slapped him. In return his girlfriend/golddigger/ gutter slut, replied with a slap of her own, and thats when we all had to break it up and leave. I did not get to finish my omega swirl Ice Cream creation. It was good, too.
Monday.
After many, many phone calls, people cancelling and uncancelling, we finally had the plan down pat. We would be eating breakfast with my family, and lunch/dinner with hers. We opened our gifts and chilled as we dressed to go to my grandmothers house. It was full of people ready to kill my wife's family at the drop of a hat. We ate, made merry and opened presents. I had the Quiche, which is pretty good. But when it was time to go to her paternal grandfathers house, shit got real.
There was a table with me and my wife's name on it on the back porch, furthest from the back door. It wasn't cold out so it was fine, but in no way were we allowed in the house. Every time me or my wife tried to get something, someone would block us, and promise what we wanted would come soon. It never came. We finally, all of us out on the porch finally got left overs after everyone was already done eating. Slim pickings would be a compliment for what we had. And when it came time to open presents, the presents we brought were taken inside, while ours were lumped together in a plastic crate, two of them stacked up beside the table. We left. I took them to a diner that was open to feed my family, who were trying to process how to feel about it, and I knew how I felt. Fuck them all.
So we get home, and open the presents, which were quite shitty. I mean, it was obvious that we were an afterthought, despite me and the wife actually giving a fuck about what to get them. So she called her mom, and found out that her mom and dad opted to stay home, when they learned what the rest of her family was doing, and fortunately they got their presents early so they would not have to watch their daughter be treated worse than a servant. My wife cried. Like seriously broke down, which made me see crimson. Not red, Crimson. Blood. Theirs. My hands stained with it. No one makes my wife cry. No one. So I made a phone call to four people. Because we would have to see all of those assholes on New Years, I called four people. My grandmother, my dad's sisters and my siblings who all were crashing with their families at my dads house. Oh they done fucked up. The Bloque family might fight and agrue, but you fuck with one, you fuck with us all. Word got around real quick.
Tuesday.
I was getting ready for work, and my wife was going in on the late shift. My door to my bedroom was violently opened, and most of the women on my side of the family that was not working snatched my wife and abducted her for a few hours. Some of them were on the rich side of my family. I went to work still bent, and my boss asked what was the matter, and I laid it out for her, and she was mad too.
"Yeah, I think that if they could have gotten away with it, we would have been fed out of dog food bowls."
"You made the right choice in leaving. It was obvious that they did not want you there."
We talked a bit as the office burned down around us, as more orders were coming in, and going out filled, and no one was mentally ready to deal with it. At lunchtime my wife and daughters/permanent house guests showed up to eat with me in my office, and they all were dolled the fuck up. Like they looked like a bunch of women who were made of pretty and loads of cash. They brought me some sushi for lunch and they told me that my family took them out for a get well day, and ended up becoming super models and movie stars. I shrugged because I could not deal with all the beauty before me.
But something is up, and no one is telling me anything on my side of the family.
I will report more as it happens.

I think you meant to post this in what ruined my day.
Why didn't her parents call and talk to you two about her side of the family? Why did they just not show up and let it happen? I think that is as big a kick in the crotch as anything else that happened.
I would have left as soon as I saw I would be eating in the porch.

I would have left as soon as I saw I would be eating in the porch.
Because her parents only got word about it, when it was too late to stop us and we were almost there when her parents called in sick. Her mom raised a lot of hell over it, and her dad actually instead of his usual Christmas threats of lighting me up like a Christmas tree with his shotgun, apologized for his side of the family. There is a bit of internal drama on her side of the family. her dads parents are loaded, and named her dad executor of the estate, but everyone and his brother are fighting to change that, and him showing up would stir the pot further. I wasn't mad at him or her mom, I was hurt, but he showed me the time they called him on his cell, and at the time where he would have called me, we were already at the back door. Well, I am used to eating on back porches, being the black sheep of the family. And also being a smoker. My wife was devastated. My youngest was crushed, and Oldest were bent three ways to Sunday. Her family is crustier than a bag of dirty homeless dicks. They wrap being mean with words that almost makes it rational and deserved. It was out of consideration to my situation that they put us on the porch or There are just too many people inside.
It should be there, but why it made my day, was that my wife got pampered, I got to eat some stuff I could never afford, and this year no one threw up in my vehicle. That is my only regret was not turning around and walking away. I stayed to be support for my wife, who is almost done to the point of going NC on her family.

My family on both sides was all about appearances. Had to look good in case word got out to our small town. Don't know what's worse all out war or stuffing all the feelings.
My present wife's sister took an instant dislike to me one: we weren't married a living in sin. Two: wife used to drive her around to garage sales but now she was spending time with me.
Comes the next holiday and wife was invited to dinner but had to leave me behind. Solution...both of us stayed home.
Wife tried calling once and sister kept doing other things so finally wife said call me when you have time to talk. Wife's son stayed in contact with his aunt. Then one Christmas he said his Christmas card was returned.
I did some digging on the Internet. Found an old real estate ad for her house in an estate sale. That usually means death. More research and I found a death certificate for her.
All those lost years because neither would bend.
As it's said, "God gives us our families but we get to choose our friends."
Sorry for your troubles Writer. At least no one got bloody and nobody went to jail.

The thing is, We both were suspecting this to happen for a long time now. Her family always hated me and her for marrying me. But moreover I learned they pulled that shit with her mom and dad often until her dad punched out his father in law when the bullshit filled up his fuckit bucket.

We have had 10 people at the house for the better part of the week. The last of them left today. Finally PEACE AND QUIET. Dan watched the Iowa team play. After which, I gave him a bj. We watched the Michigan game, which was tense. THEY WON, I sucked Dan again after that. He lasted quite a while. Now we're watching the Texas and Washington game. And if Molly McGrath reporting from the sideline doesn't get him hard, I am going to have him popping a viagra. I hope he lasts an hour. Go Texas. Wouldn't that be cool.... Texas vs Michigan

Looks like I'd been out since late April? Did I miss anything major? From what I remember, I started getting the usual "login session expired" error messages and trying a different browser or even my phone didn't fix that. I thought about trying a password reset, and then I realized I had signed up with what is essentially a burner email account and couldn't remember how to get into that.
To be honest, after the site just having been down again, I somehow had lost a lot of energy and interest, and I didn't try to get back in for very long. I'm not sure why I suddenly thought of KB again just recently, but I'm glad I did :emot_kiss:

Daughter is busy baking today. Has a bunch of apples she needs to use up. Plans to be by later today with a pie for us.
That alone is enough to make our day. On a humorous note. She had to make a quick trip to the store for supplies. Got started and said,"That doesn't smell like cinnamon!". Nope, she'd grabbed cumin in her hurry to get back and start baking. :emot_laughing: She did find a neighbor that had some cinnamon she could use so daddy can still get some pie today 🥧

Big day...wife, daughter and I drove to Iowa to see my sister. Just a quick visit, heading back tomorrow. Had a good trip and now having lots of catching up going on. It's been a real day maker.
Then I get on here and there's an Eagle flying around again. Good seeing you Rick.

Made it home late yesterday afternoon from our little Iowa trip. It's a 200 mile trip down I-35, so not a bad drive.
It's been a few years since wife and I have been up to making any kind of trip. We did fine tho' and sister was happy to see us. Been many years since sister got to see her niece. Plus one of sister's sons stopped by so the two cousins had a good reunion.
I ended up doing half the driving and was pleased how well I held up. Maybe this spring I'll be able to get up to my favorite wildlife refuge and take some bird pictures again.

Daughter took me grocery shopping today. She was putting a few things in the cart for herself. She was trying to keep things separate but as they started to mix together I told her not to worry about it.
I could remember my folks helping me out when they could. Paying it back through the generations.
We stocked up on cases of water too while I had someone with strength to help unload and get in the house.
Another funny thing. After I tapped my credit card to pay, the cash register started to clatter away. The clerk said there is goes. I said you mean my money?
She laughed and said yes, your money...there it goes. :D

I haven't talked about this, but Allan and I got into it little over a week ago. Pretty heated, and we haven't talked since. Last thing I had said to him is when you're ready to talk just call. He called in the morning and we had a quick talk about talking later. I'm not going to dive into details, but my issues and his issues came out at the same time, and the wrong time, and clashed pretty hard. We went for a bite to eat, and talked. Taking some time to absorb what we said to each other and we'll talk again, but all in all, it went very well, and I was able to relax.
I also got a call today from a lawyer. By going through his grapevine, he got my number and told me about a couple of young men who were arrested on assault charges. He was wondering if I was willing to answer some questions for him. I told him that I wrote a victim statement and didnt want to be bothered with what had happened to me. He apologized and said he didnt know and that pretty much ended the call.
I dont know if it was the same three from October, but from what he told me, it happend in the same neighborhood. I hate hearing somebody else got violated, but I'm glad they caught them this time.

Sorry about you and Allen but you guys are doing the right thing... talking. That and forgiving plus accepting
Relationships. It's like walking across quicksand. This from someone in his fourth marriage. I finally learned that even if I was sure I was right that wasn't as important as just letting go and moving on.
My best to the two of you. Sounds like you guys are working through it.
As to your October animals...may they get what's coming to them. Their luck can't hold. I can only hope they get prison time and soon meet a couple of Bubba's who need some new "bitches".

Busy busy day yesterday. Had fully made up with Allan, and things got rough! Glad we weren't in the gaming chair, it may not have survived. Had a much more calming session the next morning as he had called in sick. We spent the day just laying around naked watching tv and talking. Had to leave in the afternoon as I was getting picked up by my friend and we went to a concert.
Headliner was Disturbed. The other bands were Falling in Reverse, and an all woman band called Plush.
Plush was very good, and had some exceptional songs. They also did a cover of Barracuda, and I swear if I closed my eyes, I would have thought I was listening to Heart. So good.
If you don't know, Falling in Reverse and Disturbed are both hard rock bands. Falling in Reverse threw out two new songs I never heard before, and disturbed didnt disappoint even though lead vocalist David Draimen was getting over an illness which made his voice crack.
We had the best seats since we got ADA seating so it was on a balcony over the top of everybody. AMAZING!!

Post by: Writers Bloque on January 30, 2024, 08:43:43 PM
I cant decide where to put this.
Also sorry for my absence. Busier than a one armed paperhanger with a back itch.
So here is what's going on:
Owner has decided that the whole company has to move. County said the land is too small to support our influx of machinery for sale. So after a week or two, they bought twenty acres a couple of miles from the Alabama/Florida border. So for now, we are moving equipment there for storage, as the new offices and workshops are being built. When the new place is open, I will be the new overall general manager of the records and logistics department, as the previous one has chosen to retire instead of having to drive a few extra miles to work. I am not complaining, but no one was actively seeking the position, since it comes with a metric fuckton of more work. My direct supervisor pushed for it because she believes I can do it. I think its because I work on the concept of efficiency and taming chaos, and the old man just let everyone do their own thing and somehow managed it all into a working thing. I think she did not want the hassle.
The county has decided to completely fuck off on my subdivision of the property and are now treating it as one. Apparently the appraiser fudged the whole survey and now this has forced the nice rent to own couple next door to back out of the deal. All they want back is the last three month's payments, which is fine, I told them they can even have the security deposit back too, since they have not damaged anything inside. They will be moving to Jacksonville in Machr to be closer to some family.
My oldest daughter will be graduating college this year (finally) So she wants to rent to own the house next door, and I said fine, but she has to take in her sisters and April and Bethany. My house though no where near tiny is starting to become cramped with all the people who live and or crash here. I talked to my wife about this, and we decided to renovate the house next door to make more rooms and upgrade it. Yes this will cost a lot of money, making our dreams of retirement on a secluded lake somewhere a bit further off, but as long as we work hard, I think we can make it.
Wife has gotten into trying to control my orgasm. Not quite like edging, but she apparently talked to a urologist and said that a slow work out could return some sensitivity to my shaft. I told her if being a nurse doesn't work out, there are job openings at Helga's House of Pain. But I have to admit it is slightly working, either that or its the pavlov effect of when she grips it, it gets hard quicker than before.
The war with the mormon's has reached an impasse since they now have a bigger threat to deal with. Habitat for Humanity has been putting in bids on the vacant lots in the area, and this spoils their plan for a community. And at the north end of the neighborhood, an HOA has emerged to wreak havoc on the entire neighborhood. They are building a subdivision and are expecting us to take their rules on. Not fucking happening.
Other than all that, I am alive. The cardiologist was a House level dick. He was wondering why everyone was losing their collective shit over my Upper Ascending Aorta Aneurysm. The echo said that its not growing or shrinking but holding strong a 4.3 centimeters. He said he will not sign off on surgery until it reaches .6 or .7 centimeters. Also I need to stop the strenuous activities. He asked what I was doing to work my heart out so hard. I could have told him yard work, but that would not be such a bad lie, I do *work* in the yard, when its not freezing cold and the wife is in the mood, but I could not tell him I like sex, fucking and making love. But he wants me to de-stress, since i said it was from work.
I missed you all!

I came out a little beaten and bruised. Two of my richer family got to spend a night in jail, and I have been officially written out of their wills. My grandmother wrote them out, while my wife's family and my dad's side made up and almost burned down a forest.
After the Christmas feud, my dad's side and my wife's families got together at my dads ancestral home to basically drink through New Year. My mom's sides were trying to bail out cousins and my aunt and Uncle. It seems that the fight was over the fact that my crazy great aunt announced that I was such a sweet boy that she called her lawyer to put me in her will to inherit the small orange orchard land with a lake and house. Not close together, but there is a fishing lake a nice little hike away from the house. This land is hotly contested for, since under the land everyone swears that there is everything from oil to pirates treasure. I can assure you there isnt. This is florida. After that, my maternal grandmother decided to end the bullshit, and changed the master will she is executor of. She and her sister (the lush) control a trust that was to be divided evenly among her children. WELL, after some weasel like bullshit, that rich asshole cousin who made the fuss about me getting some money from my great aunt tried to contest that my mom's portion should be absorbed back into the trust so that other members of the family can get some. Note that those cousins are not closely related to my mom and not blood, but related by marriage. So the lawyer, my grandmother and I who was sporting an angry after new years hangover were hauled into mediation. I know jack and shit about being a lawyer, the laws or mediation, by the way.
So my siblings showed up, my dad showed up, and just about everyone involved showed up. Apparently any changes to the trust had to be voted on by the surviving relatives who are in control, which meant it was my grandmother, and Lush. Lush does not like me at all. She is a living, walking bottle of booze that has had it out for my mom for DECADES. The reason? My mom with our limited money growing up decided to babysit my two cousins, Crack fiend and Cum dumpster. I am not insulting women, but they both were not good examples of how to be. when my mom had to watch them, they were in middle school going into high school. I was like 6, my brother was 4 almost 5, my sister was 3, and other sister was 1, and my mom was pregnant with my youngest sister, and the following year she would make my last little brother. So money was tight, and we had to feed them and entertain them while Lush was "working" more like working another bottle of jack. But it was a friday, I had just gotten my spanking for doing some stupid shit, and Lush shows up at our bed time, so late that my cousins were passed out on the couch. She reeked of booze and weed, and she came to collect the kids. My mom would not let her, cops were called, my uncle of the moment came (she went through 3 husbands, with the third dying of a heart attack.) to get the kids, and lush spending the night in jail. So shes hated my mom ever since, since her license was suspended for a year, and she had to attend treatment.
So we are all sitting in this room, at a large table, I had my head down on it, because I got completely and totally fucked up on premixed white russians and martini's the night before, and I was paying for it. Despite eating sub sandwiches, and pretzel snacks. My grandmother sat, holding her bag, while the lawyer started the vote. I had a vote because my mom put me in it. My siblings had a small stake in it too. My dad, had POA over mom before she died and had a massive stake in it.
Here is how the trust was supposed to work.
My moms brothers and sisters would get half of it divided among the four of them. They could set fire to their portion when they got it if they wanted to. The other half was to be doled out to other relatives and to settle any debts left behind when my grandmother and grand aunt passed. The asswipe is the second son of Lushes first husband. He was a dick the moment he was born. I was already walking when he was born, and we never got along since. I dont like him, he acts like his daddy's money makes him a monarch. Well bad news bro, your mom drank that money away. No one is allowed to tell him that secret, but Lush hit my mom and her siblings up HARD for money back in the day, to cover up the fact she was bleeding her husbands bank accounts dry. Like I said, asswipe was not blood related.
So the votes were cast. it was split evenly among us, half to not change and the other to change. The tie breaker would be........
My wife.
My mom loved my wife, and thought she was the brains of the marriage. So she got bent at Lush for some shit, and called the lawyer to have my wife added to my portion of the trust in the event I meet my untimely demise, she would be cared for, along with my children. So my wife sitting like she was an innocent schoolgirl, just smiled to the assholes and voted to not change it.
See, Lush would start this shit with the trust every time she needed money. She had her portion, but could not touch it, because, her older sister was technically in charge of both parts, because their parents, my great grandparents were genius at predicting things to come. They knew if Lush got her hands on the money, it would vanish quickly, so it was paid out to Lush in monthly payments. My wife cast her vote and thats when the lawyer opened an ENVELOPE. It was supposed to have been opened at my mom's funeral. But not many of her family were there, and the lawyer was indisposed, so he called me and my dad to see if it was okay to open it.
In the ENVELOPE was the letter granting the dispersing of my moms portion to her surviving family.
I did not know she set that up.
Well.
After my dad signed it, and me and my wife signed it, and my siblings of course signed it, my mom's portion was given to us.
BUT dear readers, it wasn't just money.
My great grandparents loved surprises. I remember being a little boy, and they would show up to our house on my birthday with a brand new Transformer, wrapped up. AND it was the one I wanted and did not have. The last one I got was Gen 1 Devastator. They would die in 1986 and 2008 seperately. But their love of surprises was always interesting.
Now let me say this. They were not rich. or loaded. But there were some deals made, and investments left to mature, and things happened. And when it all came to a head, there was something there. And there lies the issue. Among the trinkets left to my mom was a gun.
If you looked at it, you would think it was some replica wild west rifle.
It was not.
It was a well cared for rifle made a year or two after the Civil War. It was carried by the Greek Immigrants who are my moms ancestors who fled Greece to come to America. They bought a wagon and a rifle and found a spot down south to settle. The family Heirloom. Not the ultimate heirloom, but one of great importance. And my mom left it to my father. My grandmother smiled and slid the gun safe key to my dad, and got up and left, laughing all the way.
I do not know what kind of rifle it was, since the last time I touched it, I got my ass beaten like I owed the entire family money. But my dad said it was a nice rifle. Wont tell me much more after that.
So I got my check, and after everything was said and done, the lawyer left, and all hell broke loose. The richie fucks I call family decided it was time for us to settle all outstanding debts. Even if no one owed anyone anything. My dad had to play defense to get my sisters out, as they were being attacked for their checks. We make it out to the parking lot when asswipe committed the most mortal of sins. He grabbed my wife's sore shoulder to stop and spin her around. She lost her balance and fell down on her ass. My wife was working through an injury and was tired and hungover. She started crying and that my friends was when the doom music kicked in.
Fuck my knee pain. I bullrushed the stupid fuck right into the side of my suv. Football taught me alot, like exploding off the line. I put my shoulder into it to try and knock the wind out of him. No one touches my wife. No one.
My sisters rushed from their cars to help my wife as asswipe's friends and family who were waiting came around to separate us, and he swung and hit...
Lush.
His "mother."
She was trying to get to my wife's purse, and stepped right into asswipes swing. And down she went, and then the police came, and asswipe claimed I hit her, and the security video showed me backing up when he swung and dropped his mom. Oh and he had some not prescribed to him xanax on him, so off to jail he and a couple of others who picked a fight with my brothers, went.
The money we got, that everyone was soo gung ho to get?
10.6k
Like I said, I wanted to warn everyone in my family that the trust was not some dynasty level money. So I deposited my check, and my wife got the BLANKET.
The BLANKET was another heirloom, passed from mother to mother. My wife during her first pregnancy, being a teen had a major freak out and my mom made her some tea and wrapped her in that BLANKET to comfort her, since my grandma did it to my mom and so on since it was sewn together. My sisters grumbled about it until he reminded them that they called it ugly when my mom asked if they wanted to display it in their rooms. Its worth: Not a single cent.
The setting the woods on fire? it came about because those lovable idiots I call family were trying to do redneck and burn out a ground wasp nest at a party, and after drinking. Yeah.
So thats how the feud ended, but the reason I was gone was work. I pull all nighters making sure every piece of paper is correct and filed right. and wife works nights again, because apparently there is a lot of women seeking the ER.

Well Saturday morning my daughter ends her three month stay. It's been such a a blessing having her here. She helped out in so many areas. Cleaning and reorganizing the house to make it easier for us to take care of our selves. Drove us both to medical appointments especially me. Helped get me through the implant of my spinal cord stimulator. I now don't have another appointment until April. Even got us to Iowa for a visit with my sister.
So we'll be on our own Saturday, but much better able to take care of ourselves. One final aid was to fill our kitchen with cases of water. I can handle one or two cases, but it's hard. Now I've got 20 easily at hand.
It felt so good that I have enough trust in my daughter to hand her my credit card to go get the water.
Also we're giving them.a bit of traveling money. Again, I handed over my ATM card and the PIN # and off she went to get their traveling money.
I should be sad at their soon departure but right now I'm just so grateful for the three months we've had together. It's been a wonderful and productive visit with a new closeness between all of us.
So, that made more than just my day. Yes, there will no doubt be some tears tomorrow as we say goodbye but also lots of gratitude for all she's done for us these past three months.

Some time last year an attempt to edit a Wikipedia entry (something I've done dozens of times) triggered an error message stating that I was using a suspicious IP address. If I wanted the block to be removed, I had to submit an appeal to the security team. Over the following months I returned from time to time, and always received the same error message. Using proxies or VPN didn't help.
What made my day was trying yet again — and being successful. Little more than a trivial correction to an otherwise unremarkable entry, but if my luck holds, I can go back and update some of my own entries.

When the family visited they were kind enough to log and split an enormous amount of firewood for us from the forest. They left us with two veritable mountains of wood [ I am not complaining]. These mountains needed to be moved down to the front garden , which Rob has done, and then stacked along the border to "season" . The stacking is my job. which I do ,naked [of course] in the sun.
I am proud to say that I have made a 1 metre high wall of wood 16 metres long , which represents 2 winters worth of heat , I finished it today ,yey!.
However what actually made my day was ........................... , as I placed the final piece on the wall Rob came up behind me, bent me over the wall and took me "caveman" style ! Over too quick , but left me with trembly legs and a very large smile .
Today has been a very good day ,lol.

Not only is he on day 5 of trying to get the site up and running - a process which should take 15 minutes, but he also managed to lock himself out of the system. That he built.

Geezus f'n chrimminy. We're all falling apart!
Okay Mr I'm-recovering-in-1-week. I like your optimism, but it's your back. Please don't overdo it. PT with arms, legs, other parts of your body are totally different that the back.
Happy to hear you're going to get the help your body needs though.
I hope you've been well. I was over kind of near your home at a banquet hall. My friend's niece is getting married. So bride to be, her mom, aunt Barb, and I went and had dinner to taste all their foods. My spidey senses were tinging, I could feel you near by.

Docs are going to put me on opioids for pain killers after surgery. I’ve been in pain 24/7 for so long with nothing that a small cut on my back won’t take me out very long. Just work at the desk and have others do the dirty work for a month or two.
And getting it now means I should be good for the summer. One subs doing clinicals up north this summer for 3 months. I want to be able to go see him and be able to get around.

Friday I mailed off a DVD to my daughter. She'd loaned me a Lee Marvin.western comedy that she liked.
I remembered how much I enjoyed " Cat Ballou" that was hilarious and won Marvin an Oscar for the dual roles he played.
I sent the package on Friday, media rate and was told it would be there by next Friday, one week travel time. Today I got a text from my daughter with a photo of the DVD and a message about the pleasant surprise.
Then she called and thanked us again. The DVD will go in her collection a shelved right alongside her other Lee Marvin.movie.
Still shocked that the package made it from Minneapolis to a small town in Northern New York in such a short time and at the reduced media rate.
Go ahead, make jokes about poor mail service.

As a lawyer, we send documents and official process to others on a daily basis. I don’t trust USPS. We’ve just had too many problems with things disappearing. UPS and FedEx are great and offer real time tracking, but there’s nothing worse than receiving something from the court and realizing it took two months to get to you via snail mail.

Here in Chicago, the head Postmaster has been telling those who use the USPS not to post mail in the blue boxes but take one's mail to your local post office, especially if your envelopes contain checks. Mail carriers are being robbed of their keys and it seems one key can open all the mail boxes. Hopefully, wisdom will prevail and new lock and keys are soon forthcoming.

You are very lucky. The best v-day gift I gotten my wife was getting our wedding bands out of hock. I scrimped and saved and got our rings back, and that year I took her to Seattle, when we lived in Washington State, and took her to a nice dinner, and put her ring back on her finger. Had to pawn them for rent and baby food. But the look on her face was probably like yours when you seen the ATV.

Making a cheese run today. Off to Wisconsin for some great locally produced cheeses
For those who remember my previous cheese runs, nah, not any more. In fact wife is going along.
Who knows, if I hold up on I might be able to go back and take some bird pictures again. Seems like a long time since I could do that.
When we were growing up, we went on vacation in northern Wisconsin many years in a row.
On one of the trips, we stopped in Colby, Wisconsin, to tour their cheese factory, which I found fascinating. I liked the cheese. It was a softer version of cheddar.

and bouts of general displeasure.....
1. My full raise was approved.
2. The tenants next door left, finished moving out, and left the house keys with my wife, after having coffee with her. They left me a chanisaw, lol.
3. I do not have to see the thoracic surgeon, as the heart doctor called me before lunch, really bent about how everyone was still losing their collective minds, so after an Echo Monday, he calls me today to tell me he will see me in two years, and by then i will have to have another Echo.
4. The new couple across the street invited me and the wife over for dinner, hooray for new friends.
5. Ashley went to the hospital, and they had to induce labor a couple of days early as Ashley's contractions were coming on faster than normal. wife's last text said that the baby is crowning.

Bruh, come to sunny florida when its not witnessing the death throes of winter. visit the Florabama for cold drinks and watching people see how far across the state line they can throw Mullet. let your skin breathe since you ditched the stuffy suit.

Florida lawyers got sick of attorneys from other parts of the country retiring there. It is one of the few states in the country that does not offer “reciprocity” to lawyers from other states. Meaning I would have to sit for the bar exam again. My brother took the Florida bar a few years ago and failed. It’s not as easy as it sounds.

My brother has a place in Panama City. My former in-laws lived in Destin and Marco Island. My charitable foundation is headquartered in Orlando, and our Ukrainians usually fly through Miami. So I know a little bit about Florida. My fascination and frequent visits to Key West have more to do with the Hemingway factor. I just love walking the same ground he did.

I am on retainer with a couple of outfits that will hire a lawyer to cover a single hearing or appearance. It is basically Uber for legal help. So we call those a “gig.” No long term involvement.

Right around the 60 day mark since I've had a drink. I couldn't resist tonight. A nice pour of Evan Williams. One ice cube to cool it down a smidge. I sipped on it for 3 hours.
Also, I stepped on the scale for the first time since New Years. Happy with the results.

Wife and I headed north yesterday for a talk by a favorite photographer and naturalist talk about Loons and show pictures he's taken of this iconic diving bird.
We've been to a few of his other talks and in addition to being informative he's also humorous keeping it he talks light hearted while still being educational. Stan Tekiela is also a very accomplished photographer so his talks are well illustrated.
We left early for the 80 mile drive and had time to take a short drive on the wildlife refuge. Saw a few hundred Trumpeter Swans. The swans have made a remarkable comeback from near extinction to being removed from the endangered species list.
Then back to town for e quick lunch before heading to the lecture. So good for both of us to get out as health problems have kept us close to home last couple years..

HI all, WMMD?
One of the nurses from the hospital knocked on our door this morning. Apparently we have a home visit schedule to check on Rob's wellbeing.
We invited her up to the terrace where she performed her checks and exams. All ok.
She stayed for lunch and Rob was like a puppy dog ,showing her all round the "estate" . She's coming back next week ,yey. I'm hoping that she will become a friend ,she is SO cute !
Rob being Rob insisted on hugging her goodbye ; I knew what he would do and I looked for her reaction. Yep sure enough I saw her hips swivel up against him, little minx.
So maybe he now has a girlfriend ,haha. Rob and Lolo [Lorraine]... sounds cool , as long as I get to watch !

I was contacted by a legal company that I am not familiar with, inquiring if I would be interested in applying for a position. I told them I’d be happy to talk about it. I got a call from General Counsel today for a “screening interview.“ We ended up talking on the phone for an hour. The work sounds great, the company sounds great, and it is 100% remote. They will provide all the necessary equipment and software to do that. Oh, and one other thing, it pays considerably more than the last job.
She wants to set up a Zoom conference with the management committee next week. I am really excited that they’re going to offer a position.

Phone rang and it showed it was a video call from the daughter. Clicked on and there she was on a gondola going up the mountain to ski. Video gave me a great view of the mountain peaks and a clear blue sky.
Being a dad I noticed she was wearing a helmet so staying safe. :D

Have to relate this from last nights episode with the wife After deciding to call 911, the first to arrive were the firemen. We're only a few blocks from the station so that's no surprise.
First guy in was a big husky guy and he only had one small piece of equipment in one hand. Second guy also a large man and he had one medium size bag. Finally a young short skinny kid came in with three or four bags. He was really struggling with them too.
I looked at him as he was going by. I couldn't resist. I asked why did he get all the big bags. "Are you the new guy" I asked. He replied yes and passed by dragging his load behind him.
I can see him getting all the dirty jobs at the station too until another new guy/gal comes in.
Was one humorous event out of the bad night. Wife is doing well BTW.

It was a phone interview. The next one is supposed to be on Zoom. A Texas lawyer did a Zoom appearance this week. He joined the meeting with his video ON, and walked into his home studio wearing boxers, a shirt, and tie. The judge ordered him to stand up. He was sanctioned $1500 for that stunt. NEVER join a Zoom meeting with your audio or video “on.”

Guess my wife is doing better. She's being moved from the ICU to a regular room in the hospital sometime today. I talked to her briefly this morning. She's sounds a bit goofy from the drugs.
The doctor tried to call me but said she didn't get an answer. I was by my phone all day. Wife said she may have given the number wrong.
It's frustrating trying to call. She's nearly blind and can't see the buttons to answer the phone. I have to call the nurse station and they go to her room and call me then put her on the phone.
Guess the best news is her leaving the ICU. Thanks for all the words of support. KBs core are true blue friends. :emot_kiss:

A surprise visit by Lolo the nurse.
A surprise because she isn't scheduled until next week but it was lovely to see her. The reason for the visit ,apart from showing off a pair of gorgeous legs in a very short summer dress [and pink panties I observed] was not to examine Rob but to give us an "anti venom kit" ! Because of the early warm weather the snakes are out and folks who live "rural" should have a venom kit in their fridge. We did not know this. Sure we know about the snakes ,but we are not frightened of them just very careful where we tread, but we didn't know about the kit. Lolo showed us how to use it and what to do after. We have a picture sheet of all the possible culprits that we should try to identify on our way to hospital. All scary but interesting stuff.
But what actually made my day was when Lolo got my medical files out and told me that there was an irregularity/error in them.
She pointed to my date of birth and said that it was wrong. I looked ,but no it was in order . She looked puzzled and asked was I sure about the year ? I looked again , 1956 all correct. And then she said the most wonderful words ...........................
" I am so sorry but I thought you were 50 maybe 53".
YEY I LOVE this girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is most welcome at our house anytime day or night

That my wife and I are alive. The HVAC workers this morning removed 15 feet of twigs, leaves and other junk from our chimney, plus a family of squirrels. No one could figure out why carbon monoxide had not seeped into our house over the time it took the rodents to build their nests. We have a carbon monoxide sensor near the furnace and chimney and it never detected any carbon monoxide. Now, everything has been cleaned out and a new liner installed. The squirrels had chewed through not one layer of aluminum to build their nests, but two layers. Worse than termites.

Glad you have new liner. Hope it's made of stronger stuff.

Unfortunately we have quite a few . They seem to belong to the same family ,vipers. We have Orsinis viper , Seonane viper, Common european viper, and our worst one, Asp viper. These last bastards are little 10" to maybe 18" but very aggressive [ the others are quite timid and slide away if you stamp your feet] Because they are little and so well camouflaged they are quite dangerous. They are sometimes on our terrace cos it's warm. Have to sweep them off with a broom ,they don't like that!

We have the common european viper species in the UK, known as an Adder. It is somewhat rare and elusive I believe, mainly lives on sandy heathlands. An adder bite can be painful and cause a inflammation, but is really only dangerous to the very young, ill or old.

Yes I remember in UK my daughters being warned at school about adders after a classmate got bitten , but like you said they are rare . I read somewhere that they like the grass verges of the motorways . Not the best thing to find when you breakdown and hop over the armco ! We have them here too ,adders that is, but they are big so easily spotted and very timid so not a problem . The dangerous ones are the asp vipers , you just don't see them until the last minute ..oops too late . My wellie boots have been attacked several times . I didn't know about the venom kit though. I am reassured ,especially as with Rob's meds making his blood race round his body !! Yes the old joke about sucking out the poison is going through my head too ,lol.
(https://i.postimg.cc/vmX1CqJk/asp.jpg)
Here's one . 10" of aggression ,nasty bastard. Luckily we have buzzards who quite regularly pick them off of boulders and roadside verges. Lots of pet dogs get bit every year , sometimes fatal.

Wife's ready to leave the hospital this afternoon. Next stop is a rehab center to work on her strength and balance to avoid falls.
Not sure how long she'll be there, but could be two or three weeks.

Wife has lucked out and been moved to a very good facility. It's clean and the staff I met friendly. It's a bit of a drive but not too bad. The nurse that checked her in said she might be there a couple weeks. Any other time she's been in rehab she's always worked real hard to get home ASAP
My big surprise just as I was leaving was finding an Alexa device in M's room. Checked and it works. With her limited eye sight, she can now get the time, weather and our favorite radio station. Her room phone is very similar to her's at home...one more plus.

Bob, glad the wife was moved and is improving.
Sorry for not being active, though I am logged in.
Had a strange past couple of weeks.
First, one of my maternal great granduncle's passed away. Not terribly shaken up by it, as I only seen the man a confirmed two times in my life, once after I was born and then when I graduated High school, where he gave me a grand and a moped, despite me having a car. This man well was kind of off. Not like the kindly eccentric off, but like he had so many skeletons in the closet his closet was an apartment on its own. Not many of my moms side showed up, which was odd until I learned why later. But a whole lot of women showed up and some men. He was well off, not a millionaire, but close. Everyone was called to the attorney's office who handled his affairs. I went, and got a kit car, not built, but the kit for a car, basically crates of car parts and a frame, along with body. And a tractor for some strange reason.
But the best part was the fight among his fuck buddies and mistresses over what was "owed" to them. His wife left him long before I was born, and she was not there to collect what he left her. But it was surreal and funny all of the strange men and women, gold diggers to the core fighting over the house he did not even own. He was in a retirement village, and when he was put there, his sister quietly moved in to his old house, since it was technically hers to begin with, their parents made her swear to let him live there as long as he needed to. Apparently she was playing the long game, as she had control of his money, so he went from a playboy to pauper. I left when the police were called.
Work has confirmed once the move starts, everyone will maybe get up to two weeks of vacation, for the set up. So I plan on surprising the family with a cruise, which is turning into a logistical nightmare. Its going to be me, wife, three daughters, because wife cant keep her mouth shut and told our oldest daughters, Mimi, Youngest daughters two friends who are perpetually crashing at my place due to home issues, Ashley + Princess, and Bethany. I called around, and I think I have more than enough, after selling the tractor, which is a full sized farm tractor, sitting, covered in plastic in my back yard now. The car kit is in my once cleaned out garage. I might need to take out a second mortgage for this. I also have to deal with my fear of deep dark oceans too. I blame all those underwater horror movies I watched as a kid. Probably going Royal, cause they quoted the fairest price so far.
What made my week or so, was that a close dear friend of mine fully retired out of the Army after twenty or more years of service. He and his wife came into town and we partied almost every night like we were in high school again. I mean he wasn't gone totally from my life, visiting or calling often, but now he is free, and has to work like a regular guy, since he is too young to draw retirement. He plans on taking over his dad's gun shop. But yeah its been a wild week or two.

WOO. I never miss when you post about your family adventures. I can see you writing a cable TV series about your family.
It's your writing talent that makes it so much fun.
I hope you keep the car kit. You must tell us about the fun you have putting it together. :D
Enjoy the cruise and don't worry... not that many people fall overboard. :emot_laughing:

I am not afraid of falling over, I have my divers license, and am rated for deep water, but thats only to a certain depth, I am afraid of the murky black beyond the light. The car kit is a Lotus kit, not a real lotus, but I think I will put it together and sell it, cause I have not reached that stage of age where I need a sports car. Besides, its too small for me. Wife wants to keep it for herself once its complete, and paint it obnoxious neon pink for her everyday drive. Started on it, after weeding the roses with the wife. Its like a grown up lego set. The frame is raised and boy is it not too heavy. I think my great grand uncle got ripped off, it doesnt have a sports car engine, lol, but looks like a vw engine from the parts. might take a trip to the import scrap yard, see if I can buy a better engine that will fit in the small space.

Well I think your wife would probably look really hot in a bright pink car. I say build it.
Kind of reminds me of a book I read and I've been thinking of rereading it the last couple weeks. It's about a lady cop going cross country to find her dad who did the same trip in the same type of car he had. It was a Porsche frame and engine with a VW body on top of it. It was really funny about how highway patrolman would try to stop her and whoosh. She just sped away from anything behind her.

Great find Toe. I can't believe somebody actually made a car like that. So, which came first the book or the car? The book was copyrighted in 2007 in your video makes a reference to something in 2000 so maybe that's where the author got her inspiration.

was it a JD Robb book? The body is of a lotus and fiberglass for some odd reason. Luckily its held up this long, probably going to send it to a friend who does fiberglass work to work on the body. Hot pink is fine, cause honestly her car isn't faring to well. Yesterday had to put in a new serpentine belt. Fun.

Nope.
"Find Me" A Mallory Novel Carol O'Connell
Many of the books in the Mallory series include flash backs into her past. In this one Mallory get information about her father taking the same trip not knowing he had a daughter about to be born.
It's a favorite of mine.

Had a pizza party with the wife and her son today. I picked up one of our favorite pizzas, then headed to pick up her son and off we went to the rehab facility. All three of us dove into the pizza (now lukewarm). You know what I say...pizza is like sex... even if it's bad, it's still OK.
OK. Back on track. After pizza we continued to visit. As wife showed signs of getting tired so off the kid (58) and I moved.on out.
As we were signing out, a lady came in with a little dog. OMG...dogs can visit. Got a sheet with the rules. Now our friend can bring her dog in to visit. WOO HOO

The facility my mom was in before she gotten worse let her have her cat, since Adonai the 2nd was crying and searching for her when she went in. The facility even had litter and a pan for the cat to use, and part of her therapy was to help clean the box. but I am glad you can bring animals to her, they do help healing.

Dont know about the facility his wife is in, but the one my mom was in had steak, and other good foods. I asked why was the food so good, and they replied real food helps speed up recovery. It all depends on the patients dietary restrictions. my mom never complained about what she was served, as she always cleaned her plate. But lukewarm pizza or even cold pizza is a comfort food.

Actually, the food has has been good. She was having trouble not being able to see the food and knowing what was what.
Pizza was easy as she could pick up a slice and eat it.

Had a good talk with my wife this morning. Caught her before she went off to breakfast and then she has her physical therapy. Right after that they give her occupational therapy. Haven't really learned the difference between the two.
I'll be visiting her after lunch once she's done with all of her therapy sessions. She's a hard gal to keep down. She's in a wheelchair and she takes off on her own wheeling herself back towards her room. She's supposed to have someone escorting her but she never waits and they got a rush to keep up with her. Gals got a lot of spirit and wants to get home soon as possible.
I'll be heading over for a visit after lunch and then we can meet face to face. You know we still contact each other by telephone several times during the day. Just got to stay in touch. Hopefully she'll be home soon again as long as she keeps working so hard at her physical therapy.

One of my closest friends is an Occupational Therapist, and as she explains the difference, a PT makes the body part work, and an OT makes the body part do things.
She's had to explain that thousands of times throughout her career, since everyone knows PTs, but few people know OTs.

Glad everybody seems to be doing a bit better. When I was in school I wanted to be a PT. MissB hit the nail on the head. When I was first learning about it, the therapist I asked used this example.
A person gets an arm injury. A physical therapist will help you relearn how to drink a glass of water with that arm. An occupational therapist will stretch, flex, and strengthen the fingers so it can grip the glass.
I prefer to work with doggos 😁
I pulled an MJ!! Allan swooped me up, and we went to door county camping. The spots are open, but it's early enough that it is pretty much empty of people. There were maybe 6 other campers in the entire camping park. Ita near the water, so we could walk around down there with his baby girl running around and jumping in the shallow parts. Warm enough to enjoy the outdoors, but cool enough to be comfortable wearing his hoodies.
Clouds kept us from fully enjoying any part of the Eclipse. We had glasses but were under clouds during our peak time. It was 80% so it was really no big deal for me. I've seen that before. Couple times when I was younger, did the shoebox trick to see the shadow.
Mid 60s the first day. Upper 50s the next, and low 60s the next. We were supposed to come home in Thursday, but I was having such a good time, and feeling so relaxed and he had no objections so we extended another day. We both called in sick. It rained the extra day so we stayed inside and just had sex and watch "The Office", and had more sex. Not the adventurous, give the neighbors a peek" kind of sex, but the camper was definitely rockin' every night we were there. The closest we got was me giving him a handy and a quick BJ while sitting around the camp fire.
We didnt do much else other than relax, snack, and fool around. We went into town for coffee, breakfast and a little shopping at what places were open, but since we had his dog there, we weren't gonna leave her in the vehicle for long, and he would check on her every 10 minutes. She just naps in the back seat of his truck.
The only downer was that my favorite ice cream place was still closed for the season, and the drive-in theater was still closed, but no big deal, the wineries were open, and some dog friendly, and just like the campgrounds, vacant of too many people.
While we were at one of the wineries, I caught some floozy flirting with Allan and his baby girl when I came back from the bathroom. I saw a satisfying flash of disappointment or maybe jealousy when I wrapped myself under his arm. Later that night while I was on top of him, I fantasized about her watching and wishing she were me.
I'm the only floozy in this town LoL!
Anyways, had a great trip, Allan was so friggin happy to cook everything over an open fire with his beloved cast irons. I helped him clean them, but he watched me like a hawk, as if I had no idea what I was doing. Men... :roll:
Missed you all!!💋

That is too adorable!!
It was exactly what she did, ran in, and when it got chest deep, she ran back out and shook off, only to go back in. She would dunk her head in a couple times to drink or whatever, and then back out to shake off.
She did however find a fish carcass to roll around in. She was one stanky girl for a while. Had to tie her up upside the camper so she wouldn't get that stink on anything. Washed her down with dawn dish soap because we had not dog shampoo. Not the best, but it worked.

They have all kinds. I stay towards the sweeter one, and Door Peninsula makes a fantastic Mead. So sweet and so delicious. I will literally just drink it straight from the bottle.

After finishing lunch she headed home which was close and picked up her dog. I grabbed malt for.the wife and headed to the rehab center. Our friend got there shortly after with her dog.
Big treat for wifey having a visit from the pooch. They're great friends.
After I picked up a few things from the store plus got a family size bag of Hershey Kisses. We'll be presenting that to the nursing staff along with a nice thank you card and note. They've been just fantastic about taking care of the wife.

The nurses will love it.
Unknown to me, on three different occasions Dan had bought Starbucks for the nursing station on my floor. With that, he always got the privilege of staying past visiting hours. Other times when he came in prior to visiting hours he would bring dozens of warm Krispy Kreme donuts, early admittance was always granted. And they treated me so great.
Dan said it was a small price to pay for what they do. His mom was a nurse and she would always come home in a great mood when patients showed appreciation.

A couple years before I joined KB, I had a rather nasty MS flareup and I ended up falling out of the shower and couldn't regain my balance enough to get up by myself. I was able to knock my phone off the counter, but instead of calling emergency services, I called my cousin, who in turn called emergency services, blah, blah, blah, long story short, I spent three nights in the hospital. MRIs and scans on the ol brain. My dad visited and brought baked goods for them on the first night, and just like MJ, I was given a little more attention, and they all loved my dad... except this one guy named Scott, dad and him did not vibe together at all.

So sorry two fine ladies here have this horrid disease. Me, the cancer is just going to kill me. You two have so many things going on and it just gets worse. My hope is that that gives you time for science to find a cure.
In my case they tell me there's no cure. But, just since I was diagnosed a couple years ago, there's a new drug that's been released for the same genetic type of cancer I have. If nothing else it's more time to tease the ladies of KB. ;D :emot_kiss:

We all suffer from a “chronic incurable disease called life.” You can’t cheat death, only delay it. But we could all get hit by a bus, or choke on a meatball. There’s no certainly about longevity.
And there’s no point in being too worked up about things. I’m a diabetic, epileptic, zipper club member, who’s also somewhat blind and deaf. We all have something. Eventually.
My ex always needed to blame the victim. “Well no wonder he died! He liked fatty foods.” I think it’s a fear based response. As if, by not eating fatty foods you are going to avoid death. Jim Fixx ran marathons, and dropped dead from a heart attack at age 52. When it’s your time, it’s your time.
I think it’s more important to put life in your years, than add years to your life. I have no regrets, because I’ve done pretty much everything I ever dreamed of doing.
We’ve been together a long time here. Hope that continues to be the case. We’ve got your back, and send nothing but love and positive energy your way.
*Note: I’ve got a relative in ICU at the moment, with a serious bowel perforation. Prognosis is not good. Been thinking about these things lately.

"What made your day today" took a right turn into bummersville.
Yes, what I have will progressively get worse, and one day I may not even be able to walk, or even talk, but as PH says, I'm living life now. Why I maintain a job I adore over one that'll make me more money. I also never say no to a chance to get out and do somthing fun. Which leads me to a what made my day event.
Last night I was asked to go to a concert with some friends. They had an extra ticket, and they know what music I like. The band Starset, isn't one of my favorites, but they are really good, and have some songs I really like. They have a little bit of everything. They are a heavy rock, with some electronic, as well as two member who are a cellist and a violinist. It wasnt a typical concert with openers and then the headliner, it was just them. They didnt have a new album out to celebrate, so it was all there old songs. The venue was completely packed. Not sure if it was sold out, but it sure looked like it.
The night ended with me on top of Allan which is another thing I make sure I do plenty of while I can😘
My promiscuity increased dramatically after my diagnosis. Have to get that dick while I can LoL!

Going to visit her everyday took it's toll on me. Last night I came home, changed into my "laying around the house".clothes and turned on the TV. Next thing I knew it was 11:30. I crawled to the bed and was out 'til 7:00 this morning. Feels like totally wasted time :facepalm:
Need the wife back to crack the whip at least. :D

Glad to hear, Bob, that your wife is coming home. That is very good news. As for her cracking the whip, was that literally or figuratively speaking? ;D ;D

Good news Bob.
We had family time. All day. Games, a movie. Dan making dinner. We started a puzzle. I bailed on it first, got a little headachy looking at all the small pieces. 6 games of Yahtzee I won one with a score of 450. My low score was 125. It was bad. Just a fun day. M has been bugging us to watch Alien Resident, so that's the plan tonight. 9:00 was the designated start time, so any minute they'll all come down to the family room. I've been wrapped in a blanket all day. It's cold outside.

Episode 1 was a bit so-so. But it was setting it up for how it came to be. Some funny parts. The we watched episodes 2 & 3. It's funny. Thoroughly enjoying it. The guy is a hoot.

This is more of a "What Made Your Entire Weekend" bit of funny.
I get home after work on Friday, as my Cool Aunt, was rounding everyone up in the house, including daughters friends who crash here regularly. I was coming in, jacket over arm, and they are piling into my aunts vehicle and my wife's car. Not a word of hi or good bye, but a kiss from the wife as they are all dust and ass. Fine by me. I change out of my clothes as its still light out, and stood in my living room for the first time in a long time, and just breathed. No gossip, no shouts for various womens products, no baby screaming because I came home and shes not fond of me. Silence. Blessed silence. I go to my office, move four books, and slide the back board a little, and retrieve my unopened, fresh bag of Oreo's, pour me a tall glass of milk, and take the tv remote. Its Classic Sci Fi movie time. I sat in my underwear watching old movies until the cookies did not sate my hunger. I looked in the fridge, and was turned off by the prospects, just not feeling what we stockpiled.
So I decided, after checking over the Triumph Tiger, I decided to ride to the awful waffle (Waffle House) for something both greasy and satisfying. I chose the one on the almost outskirts of town, because they have motorcycle parking where you have to actually be aiming to hit a bike to hit one, and its next to my mom and dads old watering hole when they were wild, free and childless. The owner of the bar was deep family friends, where they were at my parents wedding, at my birth and most major events. But It was food first, booze second. I walked in and sat where it was the least busy for seven p.m. I had a medium rare steak, a big pile of hashbrowns, eggs, a couple of waffles and a large piece of chocolate pie, with coffee. Once I was full, I paid and hopped on my bike to ride the fifty feet to the bar.
Outside.
This was no upscale establishment, infact it was notorious for the longest time. Outside, was various biker groups in town for a poker run hem hawing over their bikes sipping beer and such. I pull in and I swear you could have cut the tension with a knife. Im not wearing leather, but just a helmet. But I am also not gunning it either. They were trash talking my classic euro import, since they drive 'murrican. I had to be a smart ass. "You do realize, that the american bike was just a carbon copy of what was developed in europe, modified since we have large and long highways, right?" That fun fact did not make them happy. Neither did my allusion to Harley Davidson stealing the Indian design. I just walked in past an overworked waitress, past the wall of pictures, trying not to tear up, as I see a couple pictures of my mom and dad, and one with them holding me at the bar's annual fish fry. I grabbed my seat at the only empty spot at the bar, and the Bartender slid me an Arrogant Bastard Ale. I have grown to like its asshole rough flavor. Its mean and tasted just right after eating at the awful waffle.
The owner whistled at me, and I went over to her table, and we shot the shit, she of course telling my mom will be missed and all. I spent a couple hours talking, and shooting the shit, when some jackass came in the bar bitching about how some bitch bike was in his spot. My dads bike is far from a bitch bike, despite it not looking like a bulldog made of metal. The owner nods to her husband, who joins me in rising and we go outside to confront the problem.
Dude is back on his off the shelf Harley waiting for me to act like I am weak and subservient. I sit on my bike and push it forward clearly not driving off with my tail tucked between my legs. This pisses him off. There is room in the lot, but not close to the door. I stand again, If you all don't know I am6'9 - 6'11" depending on the store I am robbing. I weigh 374 pounds, and as I always say, a meat brick. Not that I am bragging, I got more problems than carters got liver pills in his plant. But I am not a wimp, I just dont like hurting people. But this guy was ruining the mood as Owner's brother was on the huge makeshift grill cooking for the bikers.
"Hey xxxxxx, move your bike, let a man's bike park!"
I blotted out the slur against my sexuality.
"Fuck no, I was here first."
"I own that spot."
"Dont see your name on it."
This really pissed him off. Regulars who attend this bar for their libations know me. Know my father, who was so eloquently dubbed "Mean and Nasty." My dad had a rep of being like a blue balled honeybadger in heat. Ready to fight at count 1. Older men in their leathers and such took hold of me, because I was in the mood to fight.
"Don't do it man."
I felt like that episode of Roseanne where Dan wanted to defend himself on his birthday. I needed a good scrap. But I also did not want to further my criminal career either. It sucks to feel like I cant handle business like I could when I was younger. Just because I did not like hurting people, doesn't mean I wouldn't fight to defend myself. I could almost see my dad in this situation, and I blinked. MY DAD was there. But he made no move either way, as if to say "You're a man now son, fight your own damned battles." Well he stood their with his old friends, arms crossed like he did when he watched me and my siblings, seeing what we would do. That pissed my mom off back in the day, cause she was like "Why didn't you stop them?" and he would reply with the same word for word line, "I wanted to see how they would handle it and what they would do."
So the crowd circled up, and I was standing there, and the man put his fists up, and all my dad did was take my glasses off my face. My knee was bitching at me, since that morning it felt good so I did not put the brace on nor did I have my cane. My stance was sloppy, since the knee pain, and lower back pain kept me from squaring up properly. So I balled up my fists, preparing for the first blow. It was a gut punch. It hurt, but not nearly enough to double me over. He came in for another body blow and I let him know that, that was a terrible idea with my left fist connecting with his unprotected jaw. His blow hurt, but mine made him turn his head. His buddies had to catch him. He wasn't out but he was down, and I closed the gap and let him feel a body blow. His friends pulled him away as my dad grabbed my shirt and family friends put in overtime pulling me back to the bar. I wanted to seriously fuck up the guy. My dad pushed me onto an outdoor chair, and I was made to drink a pepsi to calm down.
My dad told me the fight was over when his friends had to catch him. I am not here to say im some patrick swazte roadhouse super mortal kombat fighter, winning fights and busting up faces. Like I said, I am a peaceful kind of guy, except when my tank is on empty, which has been happening often since my mothers passing. PornHubby was right, I can be a right and proper dick when I put my mind to it. I told my dad he was still standing. He said no son, he was wobbling, any further and it would be you with another midnight date with a jail cell. The man and his friends had left when they worn out their welcome, not without attempting to knock the bike over, which was stopped because my dad had apparently went looking for me at home, used his key to get into my garage and take the Norton, he still owns the Triumph, as I am storing it for him since my youngest brother and sister returned to the nest to keep an eye on him. So I nurse a couple more pepsis and get messages on my phone from the new neighbors about a suspicious looking truck in my driveway, I reply that its my dads truck and he came to borrow a motorcycle.
My dad is eating some late night (10-11pm to me is late night, far past my bed time, lol.) Ever notice how when we were young kids we bucked the bed time set by our parents, but as we get older, we impose one on ourselves because we have shit to do the next day? Funnily Ironic. I only had legitimately two beers, so I waited and hung out a bit longer so that I could be damned sure I was cool to ride. I blew into a breathalyzer that was required to leave as they would not give you your keys back until you did and blew almost all zeros. This place might be an outlaws den, but it wanted to stay open, and letting people ride off drunk in Florida is the quickest way to get your liquor license pulled.
I blew good to go, paid my and my dads tab, though I doubted he was charged for his drinks, and I put my helmet on and rode off into the night searching for more trouble. I figured I'd go grab a thick metal chain and hunt some bike gang down. Not in my wildest dreams. The rush from the fight was coming down and I just wanted my nice comfy bed, and fluffy blanket. I take the long way home, and once I get in I wash the night off and crash into my fluffy bed. Some badass biker fighting dude I am, huh.
Saturday Morning.
3 AM.
My dad is returning the bike. The garage has an alarm as does the whole house, but this one with a camera is set to go off with an annoying "Garage Door Open." every 10 seconds, as the intruder alarm was way worse. I had it set to let my wife in as she works late shifts, and as long as I or she puts in the code, the real annoying alarm doesn't go off. I get up look on the screen to see my dad parking the bike where he got it, and leaving. I hit the code in, close the door and return to sleep.
When the sun was licking my face I woke up to see the bruises from the punches were purple already. A bowl of cereal, some juice and cartoons later I had a list of things to do. First and most annoying was to uncover the pool and shock the water again. The same thing I do every year, but I decided to do it early because its looking to be an early summer this year. After I was done, I put another mulberry tree in the ground next door, then it was time to work on the kit car. I had already built the engine but found some problems. my buddy at the speed shop told me to bring the entire block in, and luckily I had a cherry picker (no, doesnt do that, get your mind out of the gutter! hahaha) that honestly was not really needed as the engine was a quarter of the size of a normal engine, so I and Terry put into the back of my suv on a bunch of news paper.
I found out at the shop that the block is cracked, the cylinders were not good. Basically the engine sat too long, not stored properly and it would cost more to repair than its worth. BUT the junkyard apologized, and let me poke around, until I found an engine that was decent, which meant I brought someone to verify. So new engine secured, and the whole day was spent putting it on the frame.
Kit car is 32% complete.
Sunday.
I needed to sort out some thoughts in my head, so I got dressed and went to church. After Church I joined my church friends for lunch at the Chinese buffet we tend to flock to. Some talking and good food later, I wanted to go to the nerd den. A game/comic.collectible shop. Its been awhile since I cleared out my pull box there, and they let me know, as there was a pile of white boxes being brought out. I paid for it all, and picked up the last light novels of a series I have been reading and was going to sit under the shade of my Loquat tree and kill a Sunday afternoon as I did when I was younger.
But life isnt as simple.
I was on my way home when I notice Henri and his husband broke down on the road. They seen my SUV and flagged me down. They were coming back from antiquing and an estate sale, and their truck died. They had a full trailer and I made an off color joke and they looked in the back of my SUV to see the boxes of comic books and other nerd trappings, and made their own off color joke. So I looked at their truck. I called my dad. Told him everything they told me, and my dad said it was the sensor in the distributor on the end of the rod going down. Sure enough after a trip to the part store, I did as dad said and the damned truck started up like nothing was wrong. A small piece of plastic and metal shut down an entire truck. Fuck that.
Henri paid me back for the part and they went home with their haul, and I was longing for the shade of a tree when I turned into the neighborhood, Julie (a friendly neighbor, who is part of the Watch. She often comes over to see my wife. Mother of elementary school kids, and also sometimes boss of my youngest daughter for babysitting.) is outside looking at a smoking riding lawn mower. Her husband is visiting his sick parents, and she tried to cut the grass on her own. Then the mower stopped working and started smoking. I looked it over, too much of the wrong type of oil and an empty gas tank. I told her to wait there. I ran home, changed, grabbed my tools and since her riding lawnmower was similar to mine I stock up on oil, so I brought some with me. Three hours later, sun is still up, and with the right oil and a full tank, she was able to cut her grass. She paid me back with a wad of bills, and I was again rounding the corner to my nerd heaven, when my new neighbors across the street were in a tizzy.
The old couple had a built in watering timer system on the house, and they wanted to remove it. One more trip out. And as the sun was finally saying fuck it to the day, they had a regular faucet installed in their front yard. I was pulling in as all hell descended upon the house as everyone who lives and crashes there came home all full of life and energy. I had just pulled in, and they crashed upon my peaceful castle like barbarian invaders. Wife gets out, and helps Ashley and Princess out, and from the inside, a chorus of teens scream about dinner as they raid the fridge. I wanted to roar. Wife says lets go out for dinner, as cool aunt was departing. So we go to Denny's and then we stop by Wally Land, to get groceries. I make them put them up as I manage to read 1 of the many, many comics i missed reading.
But the best part of it all....
I felt whole, for the e first time since last march I felt whole. And thats is what made my weekend.

Dan and his friend at the draft. I wasn't up for it, plus it's too cold. But, I drove them down there and dropped them off about 2:00. They were going to get an Uber home.
He called about 20 minutes ago and is having the time of his life. He ran into a friend that he went to college with and his friend. The college friends wife is their designated driver and Dan and Matt will get a ride home safely from them. Makes me happy because he was slurring his words a bit when he called.
So happy he's enjoying himself. He was really giddy. And I've gotten some great selfies from him and his friends. And am glad I didn't go because he wouldn't be having as much fun with me there because he'd be worrying about me. Love that guy.
Good news, Bob. And enjoy JJ McCarthy. He's a great kid.

McCarthy is our local hero. The village is very proud of him. Should be fun when the Vikings play the Bears, now with the #1 QB selected in Williams.

Fuck, that takes me back from 2016 to 2020...She fell and broke both bones in her ankle, came home from rehab and something wasn't right, had her taken to the ER. While waiting on a room she had a heart attack. Got diagnosed with CFH had 3 stints put in and it just kept spiraling down from there. She had CFH in both sides of the heart, diabetes had destroyed her bone tissue so the surgery to fix it didn't work. At least that was the surgeon's excuse. But considering every time she went back to the hospital during those years, every nurse cringed when she mentioned that doctor's name. Found out he had been kicked out of 2 different practices because of his malpractice claims. Why don't hospitals tell you this instead of just assigning them? He was polite and charming so the wife okayed him to operate. But her health never got any better and during 1 stay at the hospital she passed. 2019 was the worse as she was in the hospital or rehab more than she was home the first 8 months of the year. I think the longest stay at home was a week. Not telling this for sympathy, just moaning. lol
So I certainly wish you and your wife a much better outcome over it.

Visits like that really help the wife. Nothing like Sloppy doggy kisses to help heal you. :D
After she left we decided to watch TV. The old man here soon fell asleep in my comfy chair and missed the rest of the afternoon.

I'm behind... but last night we made our first trip to the north end of the city to have dinner with our friends. Good to see the gang again.
I'm having too much trouble with my eyes for night driving. The incoming car lights have started to blind me. It's something to do with the rods and cones changing with age.
Now daylight savings time allows us to go once again. So that was our day maker. :D 8) :emot_dancing:

I have the same issue with my eyes and night driving. Easier on divided highways than streets. Not fun.
