Title: Whatever: The Open Lines Thread
Post by: TigerLily on December 15, 2018, 05:19:39 PM
I'm hoping this thread develops into sort of a wine bar, coffeehouse, discussion site. A place with no agenda. We can hangout and discuss and meander anywhere we want.  All topics covered in any other thread or totally new thoughts and ideas. Like friends who run into each other and just catch up on anything and everything. Gossip, questions, experiences. Art, Science, the Paranormal, the Normal. Your day. Deep philosophy to giggling at the absurd. And being absurd ourselves. Grab your favorite beverage. Settle into a comfy chair and chat. About whatever

Any thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? Stupid idea? Waddaya guys think? I'll check back later to see if there is any interest

Mrs. Walks_At_Night and I went out to dinner tonight,  We had a nice chat while waiting for our meal.  There were two ladies about our age that sat behind us and they did the same.   There was an older couple near us and they also appeared to have a nice conversation together.   Then a young, early 20's couple, apparently on a date, sat at the table next to us.   After ordering, they just sat there monkeying around on their cell phones and didn't interact with one another at all.  Seems unhealthy to me but maybe I'm just turning into a grumpy, old, get off my lawn kind of a dude?

No. There's definitely something wrong with post millenials.

It's also a basic lack of manners. If you are engaged in a face to face conversation, that takes precedent over a text or phone call, barring an actual emergency.

It was rather weird. 

They seemed comfortable enough around one another so as to indicate it wasn't a first date and even if it was, there wasn't enough time for it to head South.

Yep, and it's completely unnatural to sit across from someone, anyone and not speak let alone being buried into their little gadgets. Flat out weird.


While we're on dinner outings what does everybody tip? We're usually at the 20% mark when things are good but it infuriates me that they all tip out at the end of the night and share the wealth. It's pure fucking socialism. We actually had to force (I think her name was Erin) to accept a cash tip handed to her under the table last night and even then she was slightly uncomfortable about it. And that in itself pisses me off that she has become so socially conditioned to dole out to others what SHE deserved and earned!

Too much?

You said it yourself Walks.  They were a young couple in their early twenties.  Us older folk shouldn't get mad at them.  Let them have their time in the sun.  They will probabley change in time.  Ageing does that, sadly.

I agree with you on the tips thing. I waitressed in college and it pissed me off to have to share my tips with other waitresses who were rude to the customers or who were new and sucked. I left one job at an Italian restaurant I worked at because I had to share the tips with the owner and she only picked up a few tables at the beginning of the evening and at the end. I busted my ass the rest of the night.

Oh I suppose so Rixx.  I see something similar at work with the young Engineers.   As soon as they hit a snag, they look the issue up on Google and usually have a solution right away and just move on.  Efficient?  You bet! Of course the issue is when the Googler doesn't spit out a solution.  Then some of the other gray hairs or myself get a visit as they are stuck.  What happens thirty years from now when everyone is looking for answers from the beast and no one is feeding them into it?

Millennials and phones: While reading these posts, I got a mental picture of a few Ellgabbers sitting at the table with some of the Uninitiated. They were posting and chatting with us while their live companions looked on and fumed

Morg  sounds like such a character and so smart! I have mentioned this before but I once saw a doc on PBS about crows. Absolutely fascinating. Their mental acuity and ability to logic out resolutions to puzzles was off the charts. They beat every other kinds of animals including chimps (but excepting humans, I assume). The documentary was either Nature of NOVA, I believe. I'm a cat person but I once read a book where the protagonist got a raven companion. Ever since then I have wanted a raven. But never with 3 cats in the house

Tips: I tip 20% as a matter of form. I go out a lot with girlfriends and have been told that waitpersons  consider a gaggle of females as notoriously bad tippers. The younger the worse.  A friend educated me when we were still in high school, if the service is horrible tip a penny so the person knows you didn't forget but just didn't think the service was worth any more

I'm glad this seems to have gotten off to a good start. Nice exchanging thoughts with people I don't run into often enough. Have a nice evening, all

^^;;;;; Okay, I openly admit, I'm reading this on my tablet across the casual restaurant table from my husband who's playing his portable game.
For us, going out is more of a chance to just escape the solitary walls of our apartment. We can be among people with limited interaction so no fears of language or guest etiquette mistakes.
Just to note, it's greatly different when we're out with other people.

Now, I don't ignore him...most of the time. ;) Usually we actually end up kind of using the things on our devises as more conversation starters. "Oh I saw this today." "Oh I read about such-and-such". Sometimes we'll both find something interesting and just exchange tablets then talk about it. I'll especially do that with family stuff because I'm the one with social media. "Oh your aunt wanted you to see this" sort of stuff.
Usually he has no interest in gab-related things, except I haven't been able to resist showing him a bunch of things that make me laugh, especially Bluejays creations. :)

Hi, TL. I'm like you--I like the lived-in look.

I agree. I prefer to get my news on line where I can read as much as I want and not have to settle for a sound bite.


We did a cross country camping trip this past summer. We generally camp in Federal Forest campgrounds which are almost always miles away from cell coverage and have very little TV coverage. Even with cell booster, service was limited most places. Whenever we stopped to eat, we both would hop on our phones to catch up with the world. I wonder how many tisk, tisked over the older couple more engaged in their phones than each other.

  You are right.  I want to tip. I want to let my server or another stand out know that they did an exceptional job.  Why would I want  part of my tip going to the sommelier?  If I picked the wine for my dinner? The server should be the one receiving my tip.  IF, my server has been assisted in an able manner by some member of her team, then I will leave it to her discretion if she wants to share.

When I figure my tip, I don't include the bottle of wine unless the Sommelier has assisted me in choosing.  And in my book, that means bring me a taste of the wine suggested if there is a bottle opened or something that is similar in profile to what he is suggesting.  You want me to remember you with a tip?  Stand the fuck out!

Tips: I tip 20% as a matter of form. I go out a lot with girlfriends and have been told that waitpersons  consider a gaggle of females as notoriously bad tippers. The younger the worse.  A friend educated me when we were still in high school, if the service is horrible tip a penny so the person knows you didn't forget but just didn't think the service was worth any more


TL, I had a girlfriend who was a wait person.  She had been trained at a higher end restaurant by a long experienced waiter.  He had instructed her that in tipping, if the customer had shitty service they would put a few pennies on the table.  If it had been the service that everyone craves, a good wait person would find the appropriate tip and small amount of change stacked on the receipt plate.  8 cents, 13 cents, stacked neatly.  This was to communicate that the wait person had given that service and the recipient wanted to show that they had taken the time to acknowledge them, by tipping appropriately and stacking neatly, a small odd sum.  Kinda like a golf clap. 

My girlfriend at the time thought that she was getting her leg pulled.  Until she did get one of those tips....and a small stack of coin. I believed her.  Of course, she told me that she loved me, too.

I don't agree with this mandatory tipping bullshit in bars and restaurants.
It's a scam by restaurant owners to financially support the underpaid employees.
If I tip it's only 10%, max.

Agreed. Fairly pay the employees like any other employee in the service sector. Either they are polite and can do their job or they can't.  Keeping a tipping system in place just enables the restaurant owners to continue to be cheap bastards.

On the 20% though, until there is a change in the larger system, this could be kind of bad if it were seen as naive, to staff they depend on that for survival.

I don't agree with this mandatory tipping bullshit in bars and restaurants.
It's a scam by restaurant owners to financially support the underpaid employees.
If I tip it's only 10%, max.
Those who brag that they tip 20% or more are naive fools being taken for a ride.

Tipping is considered a sign of bad service in Japan. Of course, they actually pay their workers... Is it still done in America that most food places pay the waiters like $4 and expect them to make up the rest with tips?

Not quite that bad but yeah. A strange system but, in many cases, waiting tables is a side-job, entry level, student job, or a temporary thing (in theory) whereas in some other countries it is an actual job/career even and you can find the same waiters for years at a place and they really know the food, wine, location, etc.

Well tipping is a rare thing. Quality service is highly valued here. You don't really last long in the job if you are not meeting those standards. It also leads more to a "what do I do with this" reaction.

First off all, doofus. Nobody's "bragging" about how much they tip. If the service is crap and the food even worse we'll send it back, not pay a thing (unless we had drinks) and leave and possibly never go back. If my wife had her way she'd tip more than 20% for great service but she's insane.  not really..    :-\

I'm hoping this thread develops into sort of a wine bar, coffeehouse, discussion site. A place with no agenda. We can hangout and discuss and meander anywhere we want.  All topics covered in any other thread or totally new thoughts and ideas. Like friends who run into each other and just catch up on anything and everything. Gossip, questions, experiences. Art, Science, the Paranormal, the Normal. Your day. Deep philosophy to giggling at the absurd. And being absurd ourselves. Grab your favorite beverage. Settle into a comfy chair and chat. About whatever

Any thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? Stupid idea? Waddaya guys think? I'll check back later to see if there is any interest

I like this idea greatly, thank you

Yep, and it's completely unnatural to sit across from someone, anyone and not speak let alone being buried into their little gadgets. Flat out weird.


While we're on dinner outings what does everybody tip? We're usually at the 20% mark when things are good but it infuriates me that they all tip out at the end of the night and share the wealth. It's pure fucking socialism. We actually had to force (I think her name was Erin) to accept a cash tip handed to her under the table last night and even then she was slightly uncomfortable about it. And that in itself pisses me off that she has become so socially conditioned to dole out to others what SHE deserved and earned!

Too much?

It all depends on the nature of the dysfunction, but I'm a big fan of non-defensive communication. Also being able and willing to leave if things are truly intolerable.

Of course, there always is the option of bailing in favor of a vacation elsewhere. Let 'em bicker while you sip a mai tai. 8)

Hey Zen! Great to see you! Speaking of OCD, I have a friend who has to straighten out Every. Single. Fringe. on his persian carpet. I'm sure my own housekeeping skills must make him a little (more) nuts

I was at the home of a friend who had an OCD husband.  Found out when I everso slightly moved a couple refrigerator magnets to see the photos that were in the little frames. He came along and asked aloud who had moved the magnets! I said it was me and he fixed them. I decided to test him. When they were elsewhere i just tapped a picture frame in the living room that was on the wall. Just a hair crooked. He came in and we began chatting, he was pacing and talking and then without missing a beat he straightened the frame.
Granted, the house was spottless and neat, but I don't know how living with that would be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahhh I probably can’t help, but i can give you a good description that might help you put yours on a descriptive level of shite.

Let’s start with the fact that my parents didn’t celebrate Christmas in any way shape or form, due to some ridiculous religious beliefs.

My formative years were spent being segregated from kids at school who did Christmas festivities and not doing anything special during the festive season. No present giving at school, no church services, no nativity plays, no carol singing, no christmas fairs... you get the idea.

I never really formed any Christmas traditions that most people have, and in fact I never decorated a Christmas tree until I was married and properly living with my husband.

My remaining siblings now celebrate, as does my mother (she has drifted away from the hokey religion). The act of giving presents is nice, and the season itself is nice now I can participate, but it’s how I imagine moving to a country that has a seasonal event you are sort of adopted into. I do it but don’t understand the sense memories that I think most people have.

Two of my siblings no longer talk to two of my other siblings. They really hate one another. I talk to everyone. There’s a Venn diagram which is used for who goes where, and when - my mother is shared around like the child of a divorced couple.

This year we have Christmas with one sister, then Boxing Day to relax and then my other sibling and my mum for the day after Boxing Day.

I generally buy a bottle of Baileys and get absolutely pissed and just try and survive. Strangely enough it’s the only day of the year I actually want to drink heavily. I barely drink the rest of the year.

Oh add to that the fact that Marital Unit’s mum died a few years ago on Christmas Day which means it’s always a bit of a sombre affair.

So I spose the answer to your question: Drink.

How distressing and unfortunate, yet fascinating in a dysfunctional way.  Are you used as some sort ambassador involved in shuttle diplomacy between the two factions or is it a total Cold War kind of deal with no contact at all?  Any attempts to entice you into one Venn bubble or the other?

There is no contact or talk between the two factions, any talk about the other faction is met with tantrums. No attempts made to draw into one side or another, and I don’t take kindly to attempts as they have found out. Last time they were in the same room was my dad’s funeral and there was no speaking to one another then either.

Prior to that was the hospital when my dad died, I was there with my mum and two sisters, the other sister turned up when I had rung and he had passed and she refused to come into the room until my other two sisters had left.

It’s childish and ridiculous. I leave them to it at this point. Life is too short to be like this to one another, but they are all as stubborn as me so it’s no wonder we have this impasse.

I have no advise. I am a very lucky person in this life. I had my troubles in this life. However, my Christmas holidays are wonderful. You had an interesting childhood. Every person has their own story of life. I am sad to learn that you did not have the magic of Christmas growing up. Religions has done so much harm to so many people. With that being said. I grew up with the magic of Christmas. My family and friends will stop over Christmas Eve. Food, gifts, drinks and church are on my list. Christmas morning at my home, again more family, gifts and breakfast. Christmas Dinner at my brother’s home. Lots of meat, drinks, gifts and fun. Christmas night, back to my home…more family, gifts, food and drinks. Maybe some live music will be played in my kitchen. Late Christmas night, a visit to Cousin Joe’s home to visit with more friends/family.
December 26th—sleeping most of the day. This year, for a change I have a cute small live tree. I am trying to make this Christmas less crazy. Wish you and yours a Christmas that has some magic in it.

"The Season's Upon Us". Fun video that captures some of the Christmas Holiday and the craziness. At this point in time, in my home, things never get too crazy, since we have small children standing by and watching the adults. We try to keep Christmas as a day of magic. However, at cousin Joe's home things get very crazy. It is the end of a long day and now most of us are drunk. One Christmas night gathering at cousin Joe's, my young nephew got stinking drunk at the kitchen table. Around 5:30 am, he started to vomit. Due to his inexperience, he did not run to the bathroom. He vomited on top of the dog's head. The dog, Sofia was shocked. Sofia started to run around the kitchen and shaking the vomit off her head and body. Everyone in the room was hit by the flying vomit. We all started running away from Sofia and the vomit.  End of this true story.

The only sensible course is to do your own thing. Rise up over the sorrows in life. My father was #9 of 10 children. Also raised during the depression era. He came from a humble family with strong family ties. He has passed over. However, his great love for his family lives on. He has 2 great grand children names after him.

YES!. We are only human and not prefect.  In my family the number one rule is don't disagree with each other. If you disagree either stay quiet or talk it out face to face privately. Number two rule--if you are going to vomit--do it in the bathroom.

My nephew used to get very car sick, he was about 7 or 8 on a rather long car ride and thought he was going to be sick. Suffice to say he got a physics 101 about velocity of liquids out the window of a moving vehicle and learnt quickly which way to face.....

On, I can only imagine this learning of physics 101. One more vomit rule. Do not vomit into your brother's coat pocket. As children, my brothers and I were visiting an elderly couple who had given us stale candy. My younger brother started to vomit and did not know where the bathroom was. So he open our brother's coat pocket and vomited the stale candy into the pocket.  It turned out to be a bad move.

Wondering if anyone has watched the British documentary television series "History Cold Case"?  In one of the episodes the team seek to put a name and face to a 19th-century female found in a pauper's grave in Cross Bones, London. Cross Bones is a disused post-medieval burial ground. This TV series only lasted 2 years. "SAD". I watch it on youtube and each episode does not disappoint.

I never really formed any Christmas traditions that most people have, and in fact I never decorated a Christmas tree until I was married and properly living with my husband.

My remaining siblings now celebrate, as does my mother (she has drifted away from the hokey religion). The act of giving presents is nice, and the season itself is nice now I can participate, but it’s how I imagine moving to a country that has a seasonal event you are sort of adopted into. I do it but don’t understand the sense memories that I think most people have.

Two of my siblings no longer talk to two of my other siblings. They really hate one another. I talk to everyone. There’s a Venn diagram which is used for who goes where, and when - my mother is shared around like the child of a divorced couple.

This year we have Christmas with one sister, then Boxing Day to relax and then my other sibling and my mum for the day after Boxing Day.

I generally buy a bottle of Baileys and get absolutely pissed and just try and survive. Strangely enough it’s the only day of the year I actually want to drink heavily. I barely drink the rest of the year.

Oh add to that the fact that Marital Unit’s mum died a few years ago on Christmas Day which means it’s always a bit of a sombre affair.

So I spose the answer to your question: Drink.
Oh wow.  That really puts things in perspective.  :-\. My heart goes out to you.

Your welcome. Thanks for putting up this subject. I love this song, too.  I also love Pee Wee Herman. However, I can only watch his shows/movies so many time. Over in the Drama subject, it seems that the facebook banned one is letting his stream off over there. It has the Pee Wee Herman feel to it.
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You're a nerd!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You're an idiot!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?


Someone I knew had a tape of the HBO Peewee Herman Show. Genius hilarity! I found it on YouTube and was going to post it here for the Uninitiated but it's in 4 parts and don't have time. Worth the lookup for anyone interested

I vividly remember seeing Pee Wee's Big Adventure in the theater in 1985. Earlier in the day I bought an oversized toothbrush, knowing I was going to see the Pee Wee movie later in the evening. The whole day was fun and the movie was the icing on the cake. After the movie a local celebrity known for a particular gameshow got into a thing with either a parking attendant or a valet over some kind of parking dispute at this lot/garage and was causing a scene.

The movie is excellent and is still one of my all time favorites. I'm not even much of a Tim Burton fan but I think that movie was pure gold. Burton is actually in the movie, when PeeWee is depressed and in the pouring rain, the lead thug who speaks is actually Tim Burton who PeeWee gives a HISS to.

Awesome movie though... The characters all around, the scenery, Dottie², and the cameos by several people like Cassandra Peterson. I think anything with Elizabeth Daily was good. She pops up in several really fun and mega cool 80s movies, sometimes with her band (IE: Better Off Dead, which is an A+ comedy and also from 1985).

1985 spawned a ton of good movies and albums. Good year for metal axes too, especially Ibanez. Attached is one my Prolines. Not the most collectible, but fun and was made in 1985. Picture is total shit. It is more of a Pepto Bismal color in real life. My 2nd pink 1660 but currently my only pink one. I think I have 13 Ibanez axes that were built in 1985. I don't really like playing newer guitars and I prefer them pointy. I collect Japanese Destroyers and Vs of the 70s and 80s and over a dozen of them have 1985 serials. Which reminds me... Cereal... in 1985 cereal was also really good but I don't do that anymore, I don't even drink Coke/Pepsi or anything related. New Coke was a bunch of horseshit too. Rememeber that? That stunt might have been 1985 too, if not it was 1984.

Well, late to the party, but finally wandering over here. What a great idea, @TigerLily , thanks for starting this thread! I'm so happy to see gabbers who don't post in the HW or Dave threads much, too! Excellent!

I confess we go out to dinner a lot, and usually it's the first time we get a chance to check on the political newsletter we both like (then discuss the day's updates), check the guests for MITD, marital unit checks the bird list upates, and I sometimes briefly check Ellgab. But mostly we talk, and often end up chatting with people around us if the setting is right. Nice!

BTW I am NOT going to discuss politics at all, just mentioned that I like a particular newsletter, that's all.  8)

I've never heard of Japanese cheesecake. But I do like Japanese food and cheesecake so this is something maybe I should look into

The Japanese do cheesecake beautifully. They have such an attention to detail, if they do another country's cuisine, it's perfect. There's a restaurant in NYC which is 100% Japanese owned and staffed, and the cuisine is all Italian... but refined, perfect, blissful elegant Italian. Amazing!  :)

So I spose the answer to your question: Drink.

That's a tough one to get over, @DynamoHum, but in time it will ease.

Years back my beloved father had a sudden heart attack and died on a Monday and was buried two days later on Wednesday, my birthday. I was in my 20's then. Our family doctor, who treated him and all of us and was a close family friend, came over to the house after the funeral (which he was at) where we were receiving people (my dad was active in the community and very well-liked) with a bouquet of red roses and a small birthday cake with a candle on it. He lit the candle and said, "Someday you will be able to remember that this is your birthday, too, and one day you will be able to claim it back as your day." It was amazing.

And you know what? That was many years ago, and he was absolutely right. There have even been a couple of years when I didn't even think about my Dad's funeral on my birthday, and that was a good thing. I bless our doctor/friend (now long gone himself) for that incredibly sensitive and wise act of kindness to me on that horribly sad day. It was an amazing gift beyond words.

May your Marital Unit be able to reclaim Christmas, enjoy the day, and let go the sadness in time.

You're most welcome, Dynamo. Sometimes it takes time. Today is my nephew's birthday, the one who committed suicide four years ago in March. I feel quite sad and reflective about him, and for some reason images of him as a toddler keep popping up unexpectedly in my mind, as I was very close to him when he was younger.

Truth is, he's probably happier over there (wherever "there" is), on the other side than he was here. Each year gets a little less hard, and soon I expect the measurement will switch over to gradually getting easier.

So sorry to hear of your nephew’s death. Memories of him as a toddler must be bitter sweet. Suicide leaves the loved one with so many questions. With the Christmas Season upon us, I think back on those who are no longer on this earth. I believe in “life after death” and that universe is a better place than here.

I like how the site self-describes as "addictive." Are people waiting for a Edgar Cacey/Ed Dames/SDM eruption on the Canaries causing an Earth shattering tidal wave or Atlantis to re-arise? Why is this site addicting? Simply because people miss how you used to be able to watch planes land and often airports would even have a coffee/cocktail bar where one could watch?

"Cinderella" in Norwegian becomes Askepott, which takes the romance out of it a little.

In Japan, people traditionally soak in hot baths with the yuzu citrus fruit to welcome the winter solstice and protect their bodies from the common cold. A pair of adult capybara and three babies take a yuzu-yu, or a hot bath with yuzu citrus fruits, a winter solstice ritual

The winter solstice falls on Dec. 21, 2018. The winter solstice is particularly special this year as the upcoming December full moon, named the Cold Moon, will be visible in the night sky along with the Ursid meteor shower.

I love this, and also your previous post about the solstice rituals around the world, @TigerLily! I was at a solstice celebration tonight which was absolutely beautiful, with many blessings and invocations for a better, happier, more balanced new year.

Blessed Solstice to you, and we all need to keep ourselves in balance around this very intense full moon, too! Intense emotions possible! +1

You're most welcome, Dynamo. Sometimes it takes time. Today is my nephew's birthday, the one who committed suicide four years ago in March. I feel quite sad and reflective about him, and for some reason images of him as a toddler keep popping up unexpectedly in my mind, as I was very close to him when he was younger.

Truth is, he's probably happier over there (wherever "there" is), on the other side than he was here. Each year gets a little less hard, and soon I expect the measurement will switch over to gradually getting easier.

I don't know what lame but well-intentioned thoughts from an internet stranger like may mean to you, if anything, but sincere well wishes to you and your family during this and all seasons. Take care

Yokohama is a very pretty city, especially around the harbor. I was a bit sad that it was too smoggy so we couldn't see Mt. Fuji, but I still enjoyed it.

Wow, @twistedlogic, that looks exactly like what I like to do! In fact when I got home from dinner tonight, one of my doggies, Jackson, went tearing into the bedroom, jumped up on the bed (it's set purposely low on the floor) and started gleefully rolling around, flipping this way and that, twisting and turning on his back. He totally wrecked the covers, messed up the pillows, got fur on the blanket, and slobbered on me when I got down to pounce on him. It was quite the debacle, and we both had the best time! <g>

Stuff and nonsense:

1) The dog in the video is basically my puppy, but thankfully mine is only 13 pounds.

2) They're rebooting 90210 with some of the original cast. This Gen X'er who never missed an episode is pleased to no end.

3) Some bush league Red Sox writer is voting against Mariano Rivera for the Hall of Fame. (ETA: Turns out he's abstaining which is better but still ridiculous.)

4) Capybaras are wonderful. Capybaras crammed into a hot tub with fruit are exponentially wonderful.

5) We've had trouble finding non-light, non-weird-flavored egg nog around here the past few years. Hopefully, things will go better tomorrow. I REQUIRE NOG.

Purple is one of my favorite colors. It started as a joke because Bart would tease me for once having purple hair. And it grew to me saying that "one day I will earn purple boxes". And then, I did get them :)

Well if it works for you then I say AWSOME  :)

Bart, I'd like a 1966 Chevy Chevelle that's been restored and modified. It doesn't have to be the SS model; Malibu will do just fine since it'll be a resto-mod anyway. You are sooo magnanimous in giving ppl what they really need, why don't you hook me up with that? It can even be purple, though I must admit that I'd paint it maroon.

Hello Ellflings! Anybody miss me? Even a little?  :'(

My evil electronic qi has been in overdrive. I somehow killed my new Fire after only having it for two weeks. Tried everything to get it working again even with Tech Support but no luck. Finally ordered a replacement which should ship out tomorrow. While preparing my dead one for return shipping I decided, for some reason, to plug it in. Started working immediately. After sitting for weeks. WTF??? I guess now I will have to deal with a "never mind" re-shipping.

I have been slow death to electrical/electronic gadgets since I can remember. This summer I killed my new desk fan. This week I killed my space heater but a friend was able to resuscitate it. I have a drawer full of broken watches. I don't think I have had a computer of any type last more than three years. My original Fire was one of my longest lasting computers. Anybody else have to deal with this?  If only my powers could be used for good instead of evil, the world might be a better place.

Oh well, I'm glad to be back. I have been here every day to click ads and pick up messages. But had to use my laptop. Which I hate using. It gives me headaches. Which is another weird issue. Hope everyone is enjoying the new year. Love

Mandalas are so beautiful. I know they are used for prayers and meditation. But I also thought sand mandalas were "uncreated" a very short time after being completed. To convey the principles of impermanence and non-attachment. Did you ever see the movie Little Buddha? A sand mandala is uncreated at the very end of the movie. Very symbolic. I've always been drawn to Tibetan Buddhism and studied it and incorporated its principles into my philosophy in my own usual haphazard way

Welcome back.  The Fire is not my favorite -I totally believe you!  i'm not sure about ordering online, but if electronics break a lot, I would shop at nearby stores with really good return policies and save packaging and receipts for 90 days!  Out here, one department store had a 6-month return policy forever!  If you lose a receipt, just replace the same product and then put the broken one in the vox with the receipt and return it.  If the employee accepts the return, you have been diligent enough, no harm done.  That's just my theory. 

I wonder why the laptop gives headaches? Thank God for tablets!  I wonder if a mere Chromebook would give you headaches.  Chromebook s have abbreviated kevoards, though, and the backspace button is a stretch.

Hello Ellflings! Anybody miss me? Even a little?  :'(

My evil electronic qi has been in overdrive. I somehow killed my new Fire after only having it for two weeks. Tried everything to get it working again even with Tech Support but no luck. Finally ordered a replacement which should ship out tomorrow. While preparing my dead one for return shipping I decided, for some reason, to plug it in. Started working immediately. After sitting for weeks. WTF??? I guess now I will have to deal with a "never mind" re-shipping.

I have been slow death to electrical/electronic gadgets since I can remember. This summer I killed my new desk fan. This week I killed my space heater but a friend was able to resuscitate it. I have a drawer full of broken watches. I don't think I have had a computer of any type last more than three years. My original Fire was one of my longest lasting computers. Anybody else have to deal with this?  If only my powers could be used for good instead of evil, the world might be a better place.

Oh well, I'm glad to be back. I have been here every day to click ads and pick up messages. But had to use my laptop. Which I hate using. It gives me headaches. Which is another weird issue. Hope everyone is enjoying the new year. Love

I missed you, TL! What paranormal energies are surrounding you that's killing off your electronics?
My sympathy on your headaches :( I used to get them but now I wear glasses when using computers and occasionally reading, my vision is fine without them, but it's stopped the headaches.

I have heard of such a thing, but it was before tablets. He couldn't keep a watch going at all. Make sure your tablet holds a charge before calling off the replacement!

I love mandarin oranges. But I don't wear them.  You can tell they are Japanese cats. The way the black and white kitteh was politely waiting his turn out of sight until the orange kitteh was done. Some day I should tell you about the completely different experiences I had waiting in lines in Japan versus China. Have you visited China since you've been there? Like two different universes. The best thing about China was how much cheaper it was than Japan. Everything else I would give Japan the definite edge

No, I haven't been to China. I was invited by a friend to go to South Korea once, but turned it down because Mr. couldn't go. I'm really hoping that we can visit New Zealand before going back to the states.

Maybe if you took better care of your lawns and floors your lipstick wouldn't have become "patchy" by the end of the day. Hmm? Only way you'll learn.

I asked my eye doctor what mascara she would recommend, she said Blinc Mascara. It forms little tubes around each lash. All you need to remove them is warm water, they just slide off.

While looking for a cool cat pick for @Spookcat 's medal I upon this story

Cry “Havoc!” and Let Slip the Cats of War 
 In more recent times, cats and dogs have been banned from Naval vessels, but they are still valuable on land. In 2004, a tiny Egyptian Mau kitten wandered into U.S. Army headquarters in Iraq. Dubbed PFC [Private First Class] Hammer, he became a ratter, morale booster, and important stress reliever to the soldiers. When the battalion was set to ship back to Colorado, Staff Sgt. Rick Bousfield contacted Alley Cat Allies and Military Mascots for help in getting PFC Hammer back to the States. PFC Hammer was vetted and quarantined before traveling to Colorado Springs, where he took up permanent residence with Staff Sgt. Bousfield. When Hammer was being carried to Bousfield, he heard Rick’s voice and began purring and kneading the arm of the transporter. As it turns out, he remembered his Army buddy after all.

USA Today adds this:

When Bousfield found out his unit was leaving Iraq in March, he decided he couldn’t leave a member of his team behind.

“He has been through mortar attacks,” said Bousfield, a 19-year Army veteran. “He’d jump and get scared liked the rest of us. He is kind of like one of our own.”

Pfc. Hammer got his name from the unit that adopted him, Team Hammer. Soldiers would tuck Hammer in their body armor during artillery attacks, and in return, Hammer chased mice in the mess hall.

“He was a stress therapist,” Bousfield said. “The guys would come back in tired and stressed. Hammer would come back and bug the heck out of you. He wiped away some worries.”

The kitten earned his rank after nabbing five mice.

This reminded me of Operation Baghdad Pups. They have helped bring many dogs and cats, befriended by US military personnel while on deployment, back to the US instead of being abandoned.

 "Oooh, TigerLily!" I hear you say, " tell us moar! " OK. If you insist

Did you know about 70% of the cats depicted in ancient Egyptian tombs and arts were tuxedo cats? Yep, Tuxies were the most commonly depicted (and worshipped) cats in ancient Egypt.

It takes most cats one to two weeks to open their eyes after birth. But newborn Tuxies? They open their eyes a whole 24 hours before any other kind of cat.
This may be somewhat difficult to prove, but many people believe tuxedo cats are up to 200% smarter than other kinds of cats. It's unclear whether or not this is the sole opinion of tuxedo cat parents

Tuxedos have magic. It's said that during a vernal or diurnal equinox, tuxedo cats become virtually invisible due to the colors of their coats. Completely disregarding the physics of light and shadow

 "Oooh!" The crowd claps with glee. "You are a font of amazing knowledge! Moar, TL. Moar!" Sorry. But I have to blow my nose and hack up some phlegm. And probably clean a litter box.  Read for yourselves. I'm not your personal Siri, you know

I grew up with a tuxedo cat.  She seemed very smart.  She never messed in the house, for like 12 years, even though we didn't have a litter box or pet door.  She just found ways in and out, and knew which people came and went at which times, & timed her releases accordingly.  One time, much to my parents' shame, she was stuck in a shut bedroom for something like a week or two while we were on vacation.  She had no water or food.  She survived.  I never saw her kill a bird, but she must have hunted eggs because one time a crow bopped her on the head.

We love Mom, but her boyfriends are trash:

https://www.briansussman.com/commentary/earth-days-real-history/
“Earth Day has never been a celebration of the beauty and bounty of this awesome terrestrial ball.  It’s always been an assault on man.”–Brian Sussman

On April 22, 1970, a trio of radical dreamers established the first Earth Day, an event designed to assault capitalism, free-markets and mankind.

The initial concept was conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-WS).  Nelson was Congress’ leading environmentalist activist, a sort of pre-incarnate Senator Barbara Boxer in drag.  He was also the mastermind behind those ridiculous teach-ins which were vogue in the Sixties and early Seventies.  During the teach-ins, mutinous school instructors would scrap the day’s assigned curriculum, pressure their students to sit cross-legged on the floor, and “rap” about how America was an imperialist nation, and converse about why communism really wasn’t such a bad form of government—it just needed to be implemented properly.

Nelson’s teach-in efforts were aided by a young man named Denis Hayes.  Hayes was student body president while at Stanford, and well known for organizing anti-Vietnam war protests.  Hayes heard about Senator Nelson’s teach-in concept and eventually helped Nelson institute the practice nationwide.

Rounding out the troika was Professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford.  In 1968 Ehrlich authored the Malthusian missive, The Population Bomb, in which he infamously spouted wild allegations which included equating the earth’s supposed surplus of people with a cancer that needs to be eradicated:  “A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people…We must shift our efforts from treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer.  The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions,” he wrote.



Oh yeah...I remember his tome all too well from back in the day, scary stuff, no?

Listen, I think this thread should be a sticky! It is IMO better than a random stupid things thread simply because it covers all. Cuz we can be mean here as opposed to random and stupid. I've done random and stupid to death. I mean really ::) :P ::)


I'm thinking of buying a speedo and a speedboat! You can't have one without the other..  although  if I do that I may be required to grow a moustache, buy a van and have shag carpet throughout the house.   So I digress; I'll just buy a speedo and a rubber dingy. A dingy will even fit in the hot tub! Eureka!!! :)

I'm hoping this thread develops into sort of a wine bar, coffeehouse, discussion site. A place with no agenda. We can hangout and discuss and meander anywhere we want.  All topics covered in any other thread or totally new thoughts and ideas. Like friends who run into each other and just catch up on anything and everything. Gossip, questions, experiences. Art, Science, the Paranormal, the Normal. Your day. Deep philosophy to giggling at the absurd. And being absurd ourselves. Grab your favorite beverage. Settle into a comfy chair and chat. About whatever

Any thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? Stupid idea? Waddaya guys think? I'll check back later to see if there is any interest

I'm all in!   ;D

I have a similar story. Business meeting in Baton Rouge. Everyone warned me of the humidity. So I packed my lightweight suits. Suits *smh*.  I got off the plane at 10 pm. It was 85° and 90% humidity. I felt like I was swimming through the air. Air conditioning everywhere saved my life

Indeed. west coast, a month or so ago I was in Las Vegas returning from the east coast on a day where it was 114 degrees that day. The AC motor had died during the day and the home was still at 105 after the sun went down. No humidity but hellish, never the less.

I have a story from the opposite spectrum of weather. My first business trip to Seattle was right before 4th of July. They had just gone through a heat wave but the usual constant overcast and drizzle had returned. The natives were so relieved. "Thank goodness our usual summer weather is back."  "I know. I almost had to water my lawn". "Yes. I actually bought sunglasses" .  All this conversation was going on as we walked out to the parking lot to go to lunch. There was a steady light rain so I was doing that skip/fast walk that high heels require to get to cover. Of course everyone else was strolling along like it was a sunny day

I had really been looking forward to seeing Mount Rainier looking over the city. Not on that trip

85-degrees and 90% humidity is approaching chilly where I live.

Ah yes, so here's where the good guys are hanging out lately! Is it ok if a non-football fan joins in, I hope?

Last night's weather report for my area on the west coast of Florida showed one day, a week ago Friday, which was 87 degrees. Every other day in September was between 91 and 99 degrees, the hottest September on record ever.

And yes, I hate the humidity, it's horrible. I can deal with the heat because there's so much AC, but the humidity really wears me out. Feh.

My TOP goalie in the NHL is Bernie Parent.
Bernie and I are FaceBook FakeBook "friends". I still love PARENT.
Parent patterned his style of play after the legendary Jacques Plante and was often coached by Plante as well. Unfortunately, Parent had to retire early at the age of 34 after a stick struck his right eye and caused him to lose a lot of vision.

The other thing she totally missed in the video was the elephants. That is where I crested a hill to see an elephant walking down the road.  Several places there to get elephant rides if you were so inclined. Which btw is the primary source of mushrooms in that area.

I don't know what to do..   same fuckin thing every year. She should dump my ass. Although she'd be downgrading on the physical stuff.

Start off with the walk through the park to stop on the bridge where we got married as is the norm and then make shit up from there ::) How do I kill five hours of the day between the 9am walk and the 5 o clock dinner rez?  Fuck I wish this town had an aquarium rather than first nation shitass bullshit wood carvings of a fucking bear or hawk. I hate them with such a passion for being the whining bottom feeders that they are.

Foot massage and manipedi. Unless she is into jello wrestling

A walk in the park sounds great. On my 25th Mrs. BYU told me when we got up: "25 Years and neither one of us are in jail".

Always with the feet.  I do the massage thing (not as often as I used to) (nowhere near) We wrestled once and I accidentally broke one of her ribs.. I honestly think she could beat up most men. Hell, she gets paid to order them around all day. One of them, a real big burly guy cries a lot when he can't take it anymore. Lolol  Nice guy though

Yeah the walks and nature stuff is good stuff, we take the current dog (because they seem to die) and it's a nice way to start off. I'll throw in cigars this year! That'll be a first :)

@anniem Annie, THAT - is actually a great idea!  I've always wanted a facial and I'll get a scalp massage too. +1 thanks.

I just expanded on what GS suggested. It would be nice and relaxing, I hope fun.

As an alternative to that tongue thing may I suggest that you and the Mrs. spend the day perusing the George Senda Amazon Wish List?  Very, very romantic.  If you can find the end of it she'll call you her hero and love you forever.

Speaking of Dietrich, I'm pretty much done with his show and looking for a replacement.  I think I've learned all there is to learn from DDD's show and it is time to move on.  Any suggestions?  It has to be athe "right" kind of show - something to fit into the trajectory laid out below.

Once Siegel took over for Art it was so bad I looked for a replacement.  Settled on Lou Gentile who was an HVAC repair guy/Demonologist but sadly he got ill and died.  I was lost and floundered for sometime until I found Dr. Antonella Carpenter  and her Medical Conspiracy show but that was more of a rubber necking at a horrible accident kind of deal.  You should not look but you do.  That show ended when the Feds thankfully threw her in the clink. Again, I wandered until I found Dietrich, however I think his last 7 hour 20 minute broadcast was the end of the road for me.

Once again, I look for a show that follows the seldom used path that diverges in a wood.

I like the toilet paper so it rolls down from the outside. THE OUTSIDE, DAMMIT!

Gotta check on the kittehs 😺 . bbl

Fussy, fussy!

I used to need it rolling down and out from the inside on the bottom thanks to a little nutty doggie who liked to paw the roll downwards. I used to have it rolling down from the outside, But after finding much of a roll all over the bathroom floor two times, I switched. Took care of the problem, and he knew enough to stop as he wasn't getting his satisfaction trashing up the place.  ;D

He's long gone now, sad to say, so I'm back to the old rolling down from the outside.

There now, tmi?  ;D

Haha, thanks skittles.  I must admit, I had to check and see if Groucho was the person who said that, because it definitely sounds like something that Mark Twain would have said.

@BartEllProducer Lol  sounds good on paper, yes! But she's a fucking jock, swims and dives like an Olympian. My luck she'd catch a mean ol catfish down there and chase me around the park with it.  I'm going to have to watch my alcohol intake that day as I will no doubt be expected to  "perform"   that night and I don't do well under pressure!  Any other ideas?

I need the story about this.

Ok @anniem and @SpookPumpkin

So Mad Jack was a guy that used to work back at the Island of Misfit Toys .  From Wyoming [don't meet too many of them in these parts].  A good man - just a little paranoid is all. Especially about Mrs. Jack - he was one of those fellahs that think every other guy in the world was out to tap onto to his wife.  You know that type of dude - I'm sure.

He was going to take his family to the beach for a 3 day weekend once.  So on Thursday afternoon, ole Mad Jack walks on over to the ATM machine to grab some cash for the trip.  Goes to take the loot out and "Sorry.  Your account balance is $5.  Insufficient funds available for withdrawal".
He thinks to himself - "Damn that's funny.  WTH".   So he cruises back to his cube to call the bank and get the scoop.  When he gets back he notices a message on his phone from Mrs. Jack.  "I've left you.  If you want to see your children again, the address is........"   Turns out some dude was long dicking Mrs. Jack. 

So he kind of staggers out of his cube in a daze.  Everyone is like "Yo Jack!  Have a good time at the beach man"   *Gulp* goes Mad Jack.  In a daze he cruises into the head and enters Stall #1 [The tired bowl that had the cradle that Fat Bob designed to give it some support.  A picture of the bowl and the miracle cradle is buried in the Heather thread for the curious].  He decides to do away with himself but all he has is this tiny, dull,  pocket knife. He starts to try and decapitate his noggin but it is tough going as he starts carving on his neck.  Soon enough he decides he wants to live [or at least did not want to die on Fat Bob's bowl] and he staggers out gurgling for help as he did hit windpipe pay dirt eventually.

From there you know the rest of the story.   Pandemonium. Paramedics.  Followed by Coppers asking questions and Biohazard folks trying to deal with Fat Bob's bowl.  So the White Shoe Boys made a new rule - no blades allowed.

Good question.  I'm still trying to figure that out.  I think it has something to do with the fake MV (Lee) and the real MV being possessed by brig.

For those of you who haven't heard yet, I was banned from HellGag, er, bellgab.
I found this beautiful video and thought of ShredniVashtar.
Would someone who still has access to Hell . . . I mean bellgab, be kind enough to post it there to him on my behalf, please?  He's a good friend, albeit a brat-friend of mine.  Thank you kindly. :-*



Thank you so much for sharing this, Ms. Starr!  I love England.

Banned from the old country?  You naughty girl, you!  LOL.  :P

Dearest @FISH, is it possible that Miss Tippy in those moments when you think she is a bad cat is thinking you may be her bad human? A cat who tamed me into submission and liking cats a number of years ago explained that to me from the cat perspective. It explained a lot.  ;)

@anniem my question about the Polkadot team was completely ignored.  :-X

I saw it, but I was on the phone and that doesn't lend itself well to a longer reply. Sorry, did not mean to ignore.
Anyway it was determined that Polkadot must remain happy. It was determined that she should not be incorrect in any way, so a team was formed to keep the things stable. If anything seems amiss the team will throw themselves in the path of disaster, and take any and all blame for whatever could possibly head in Polkadot's direction. It works nicely I think. Either Bobs Your Uncle or I immediately take blame should anything seem to be going awry.

Rikki, do you drink tea or coffee?

Coffee every morning.  I buy dark coffee beans and grind them up.  I will have an occaisional cup of tea at night, especially while watching The Great British Baking Show.

Cloths or blankets used to wrap babies tightly so they don’t wiggle and thrash around. Probably needed to keep Jesus from falling through the cracks in the manger.

Oh we watch those too. There are times I have no idea what the words used are, and there are things I wouldn't want to eat but I like watching the shows. I also like Alton Brown's show that has come back Good Eats.

Forgot to mention the coffee. I like Dunkin Donuts coffee, either beans I grind or not. I also like tea, my favorite for many years is now called Carolina Select.

I saw it, but I was on the phone and that doesn't lend itself well to a longer reply. Sorry, did not mean to ignore.
Anyway it was determined that Polkadot must remain happy. It was determined that she should not be incorrect in any way, so a team was formed to keep the things stable. If anything seems amiss the team will throw themselves in the path of disaster, and take any and all blame for whatever could possibly head in Polkadot's direction. It works nicely I think. Either Bobs Your Uncle or I immediately take blame should anything seem to be going awry.
Amazing!!! Sorry, I’ve been sidetracked lately...
My team is amaze-balls.

Ok @anniem and @SpookPumpkin

So Mad Jack was a guy that used to work back at the Island of Misfit Toys .  From Wyoming [don't meet too many of them in these parts].  A good man - just a little paranoid is all. Especially about Mrs. Jack - he was one of those fellahs that think every other guy in the world was out to tap onto to his wife.  You know that type of dude - I'm sure.

He was going to take his family to the beach for a 3 day weekend once.  So on Thursday afternoon, ole Mad Jack walks on over to the ATM machine to grab some cash for the trip.  Goes to take the loot out and "Sorry.  Your account balance is $5.  Insufficient funds available for withdrawal".
He thinks to himself - "Damn that's funny.  WTH".   So he cruises back to his cube to call the bank and get the scoop.  When he gets back he notices a message on his phone from Mrs. Jack.  "I've left you.  If you want to see your children again, the address is........"   Turns out some dude was long dicking Mrs. Jack. 

So he kind of staggers out of his cube in a daze.  Everyone is like "Yo Jack!  Have a good time at the beach man"   *Gulp* goes Mad Jack.  In a daze he cruises into the head and enters Stall #1 [The tired bowl that had the cradle that Fat Bob designed to give it some support.  A picture of the bowl and the miracle cradle is buried in the Heather thread for the curious].  He decides to do away with himself but all he has is this tiny, dull,  pocket knife. He starts to try and decapitate his noggin but it is tough going as he starts carving on his neck.  Soon enough he decides he wants to live [or at least did not want to die on Fat Bob's bowl] and he staggers out gurgling for help as he did hit windpipe pay dirt eventually.

From there you know the rest of the story.   Pandemonium. Paramedics.  Followed by Coppers asking questions and Biohazard folks trying to deal with Fat Bob's bowl.  So the White Shoe Boys made a new rule - no blades allowed.
Wow, the White Shoe solution to that was no blades? Did they also decide only brown tile with dark grout too? Yikes.

Vera got a new bed today for my birthday. She's an odd one so we held on to the old one just in case she didn't take to this one. We laid the new bed down directly beside the old bed while she was actually laying on it. She just glanced over at the new bed and moved right on over to make herself right at home. Couldn't have been easier :o  She can be very finicky, somewhat annoying.   Nice to have the old ratty thing out of the main room. No matter how nice we kept that area over the last six years there was always this 4FT across round ratty dog bed.  Should have done this a few years ago ::)

Dear @sean92008 I know very little about all the behind the scenes drama that has ensued in the last five years. And I want to know less!  Mike Vara? Heather and all that and more...?  Heather has the big hands, right?

Although if you would take an hour or so to send me a detailed PM that lays it all out in chronological order, I do admit that I would no doubt be frothing at the mouth.  Guess I just missed that drama train.

I'm taking a short break. I just got done chasing three cats and a bird around my house. My tuxedo, the hunter, brought me a present. He is now grounded and very insulted I would treat him this way after being gifted.

All three cats are belled. I don't let them out until after 10 am and get them in by twilight particularly to protect the wild critters. I have them trained with a big canned food breakfast right before they go out and then again when they come in for the evening. I live in the perfect environment for cats to be safe so really don't want to turn them in to inside only cats. But damn.

I eventually caught the poor birdie. Wrapped him in a towel and let him catch his breath. Checked him over then walked him over to the far side of my neighbor's property and let him fly into a tree. Seems ok
Bird 1  Cats 0. This time

Depending on environment, indoor kitties have a longer lifespan.

+9

I had three all make it close to 18 being near a trolley line, and heavy traffic (along with evil kids whose parents are equally evil). 

Had a friend who recently lost his baby and the doctor speculated that it was rat poison. Whether it was ingested directly or indirectly, it's a big risk. My rule is to give them windows to look out and an open window, even if just cracked so that they can smell and hear things.  I have one window that is on a ground level which cracks open maybe a quarter of an inch.  I also give them things to chase by throwing their treats all around the house. It gives them their tracking and chasing practice/play.

I don't think I'm making sense, am I?

I was trying to figure out how @KSM’s 6’2” Amazon Goddess managed to sleep on a 4’ round bed.  But I was holding my tongue.
@GravitySucks I have specified many times when posting about Vera, that she, Vera is a dog. Aren't all the Vera's and Gertrude's passed on by now? New bed is 4'6" by the same. Almost not big enough.

I can say with absolute certainty that this new Best Western Plus has fine floors throughout.  Can they arrest me for taking this picture from outside and below the hill? I don't think so.  The electricians are holding everything up thus delaying the grand opening by up to three months!

Hacks!

I had three all make it close to 18 being near a trolley line, and heavy traffic (along with evil kids whose parents are equally evil). 

Had a friend who recently lost his baby and the doctor speculated that it was rat poison. Whether it was ingested directly or indirectly, it's a big risk. My rule is to give them windows to look out and an open window, even if just cracked so that they can smell and hear things.  I have one window that is on a ground level which cracks open maybe a quarter of an inch.  I also give them things to chase by throwing their treats all around the house. It gives them their tracking and chasing practice/play.

I don't think I'm making sense, am I?

No, not really. Just being honest.

Normally with these types of things local electrical outfits are invited to bid on the job, just like I was asked to do. They (Best Western) brought in THEIR OWN GUYS! I have no idea what their contract is about but they do have to meet all local regulations ETC. What I do know is that best western is paying for lodging, food ETC for these guys not to mention whatever they are being paid for the job. One hell of an expensive way to do it. Our deadline was end of this week, we finished last Wednesday. I was originally told the hotel was to open Friday, November 15.  That's not happening.

I no longer care. We're outta there---------->>>>>>

I'm taking a short break. I just got done chasing three cats and a bird around my house. My tuxedo, the hunter, brought me a present. He is now grounded and very insulted I would treat him this way after being gifted.

All three cats are belled. I don't let them out until after 10 am and get them in by twilight particularly to protect the wild critters. I have them trained with a big canned food breakfast right before they go out and then again when they come in for the evening. I live in the perfect environment for cats to be safe so really don't want to turn them in to inside only cats. But damn.

I eventually caught the poor birdie. Wrapped him in a towel and let him catch his breath. Checked him over then walked him over to the far side of my neighbor's property and let him fly into a tree. Seems ok
Bird 1  Cats 0. This time

#badcat

I have very rarely found feathers in the yard, maybe once every other year or so, but they catch a ton of mice and rats.

There have been a few times a scrub jay has dropped in to drink from the cat's water dish and been pinned down, shreiking.  All three times I've managed to run out to the patio, and with the cat momentary distracted the birds have flown off.

I just saw the rescued bird flitting around doing fine. All three cats are back outside lazing in the shade. This is what I like to see. Lazy cats

I prefer thicker, bun-length hotdogs myself. Classic ketchup, mustard and a bit of relish.

Apropos of nothing, since this is the open lines thread, I thought I'd share something fun with you.

At times I really miss my NYC a lot, and some of the regular events I used to attend there. Unfortunately, the NYC I knew and loved for so many years disappeared about 10 years ago, never to be seen or experienced again after so many (not great) changes.

This was one of the events I used to go to every year, about a 15-minute walk from where I lived, over to the East Village, and it was always fun.

Click on the square that says "see all 66" to see all the photos, some of them are really creative! Enjoy... sigh.

How will it happen? When? Will it happen at all? Will it be like The Matrix, Terminator or I, Robot?  Did you ever see Her where the AI soon outgrows humanity and leave us behind without a backward look?
How about the possibilities of Transhumanism which is supposedly within our lifetime?

As for NYC...  What?  Did it turn back into a shithole 10 years ago???  I thought Rudy cleaned the place up (at least the tourist centers).

Actually, Rudy was good at the street-level cleanup, and yes including the spitting windshield "washers." His approach, understandably, was that of a former prosecutor, and he mostly did a good job on crime due to choosing good police commissioners, But the underlying financial structure of the city was not in good shape, and as usual there were all kinds of corruption going on under his watch (standard for NYC and NY State, btw).

The guy who really did the city a lot of good over the long term was Bloomberg, who actually seems to be incorruptible, has integrity, and is truly a self-realized businessman who started out with nothing and built an empire on his own. He made a number of quality-of-life decisions for the city with which I strongly disagreed, like the type and method of bike lanes installed which totally screwed up traffic instead of improving it and protecting bikers (who don't use the lanes anyway, this is NYC remember  ;) ). But overall, he left the city in MUCH better shape than when he took over as mayor.

The city is now totally unaffordable, taxes are insane, traffic is even worse under DiBlasio, who seems to be a waste of the air he reportedly breathes, and conditions under him are reverting back to more of the mess they were pre-Bloomberg.

Tbh, I wish Bloomberg would become President. He is actually liberal re: the arts, pro-immigration but absolutely pro-law enforcement of immigration policies, financially sane and sound, and a tough and balanced negotiator. But it will never happen for five reasons:

1. He is from New York City, and I think we have had enough of politicians from both parties from NYC for now;
2. He has switched parties several times;
3. He is Jewish;
4. He has a long-time powerhouse girlfriend who has a major career in public service of her own and who is taller than he is; and
5. He is a short man.

The fact that he is an eccentric Aquarius and installed fishtanks all over the open office plan for his staff when he was mayor somewhat mitigates #5, in my opinion, but not sufficiently that he would ever stand a chance of being elected.

It's a shame, really, he's more centrist and sane than most, and would do his best to serve the interests of all his constituents as best he could, as he did when he was mayor. I say this even though I didn't like some of what he did... but I never questioned his integrity, which is going some in our current political environment.

Ah well, it is what it is.  :)

I do my best most weekends, but it's the nitrate-free sustainably raised stuff, which I broil. Soooooooo good! If you are willing to come over and clean up the broiling pan and deal with the grease after I'm done, I will be happy to do my part to consume more.  ;D

@VampireLily does AI really think, or does it just quickly access existing data?

@Scary Penis I’m glad you said lasagna stew. When I zoomed in, it looked like black-eyed peas in some kind of red sauce with dumplings.
@juan  it was fricken great! Really hearty stuff.  Basically somebody in the back made a great lasagna. A Soup Of The Day had not yet been decided on.. so they cut chunks of lasagna and tossed them in a blender as ordered. Not completely blended but more like pulsed a few times. I called it a lasagna stew, it was not a soup but more of a rather wonderful muck!   

The hotdog sucked. I would rather a thicker juicier wiener shortened by about two inches. I don't like them hanging out of the buns like that.

Well that last part doesn't read weird at all, does it :-\ ::)  meh

Actually, Rudy was good at the street-level cleanup, and yes including the spitting windshield "washers." His approach, understandably, was that of a former prosecutor, and he mostly did a good job on crime due to choosing good police commissioners, But the underlying financial structure of the city was not in good shape, and as usual there were all kinds of corruption going on under his watch (standard for NYC and NY State, btw).

The guy who really did the city a lot of good over the long term was Bloomberg, who actually seems to be incorruptible, has integrity, and is truly a self-realized businessman who started out with nothing and built an empire on his own. He made a number of quality-of-life decisions for the city with which I strongly disagreed, like the type and method of bike lanes installed which totally screwed up traffic instead of improving it and protecting bikers (who don't use the lanes anyway, this is NYC remember  ;) ). But overall, he left the city in MUCH better shape than when he took over as mayor.

The city is now totally unaffordable, taxes are insane, traffic is even worse under DiBlasio, who seems to be a waste of the air he reportedly breathes, and conditions under him are reverting back to more of the mess they were pre-Bloomberg.

Tbh, I wish Bloomberg would become President. He is actually liberal re: the arts, pro-immigration but absolutely pro-law enforcement of immigration policies, financially sane and sound, and a tough and balanced negotiator. But it will never happen for five reasons:

1. He is from New York City, and I think we have had enough of politicians from both parties from NYC for now;
2. He has switched parties several times;
3. He is Jewish;
4. He has a long-time powerhouse girlfriend who has a major career in public service of her own and who is taller than he is; and
5. He is a short man.

The fact that he is an eccentric Aquarius and installed fishtanks all over the open office plan for his staff when he was mayor somewhat mitigates #5, in my opinion, but not sufficiently that he would ever stand a chance of being elected.

It's a shame, really, he's more centrist and sane than most, and would do his best to serve the interests of all his constituents as best he could, as he did when he was mayor. I say this even though I didn't like some of what he did... but I never questioned his integrity, which is going some in our current political environment.

Ah well, it is what it is.  :)

I really enjoyed reading this, a very thoughtful piece of on NY mayors

No, perhaps I wasn't clear. He does want to ban assault weapons (automatic machine guns, AK-47's that type of thing), but supports hand guns with background checks.

Well alright then!

I've been on what for me is a film binge lately, but all music related. A couple of weeks ago I saw Linda Ronstadt, The Sound of My Voice, a documentary on her life and extraordinary career. The film made the point, rather well I think, that she is often under-rated and overlooked as the first major female rock and roll star, and with an extraordinary voice.

The film touched me deeply for several reasons, mostly in admiration of her career and courage and independent, pioneering personality over the years. She has Parkinson's now, can't sing, hasn't for a number of years now, heartbreaking. There is a clip of her trying to sing with her family, many of whom are musical, and it is deeply moving. Again, she has so much courage!

But what really got me was that as I watched, I realized I have seen her live in every stage of her long career and live singing every form of music she explored. I saw her with the Stone Poneys at the Bitter End in NYC maybe 1969 or 70?, at the Lenox Music Festival in Massachusetts a year or so later... doing her country rock and rock stuff, introducing Karla Bonoff, the McGarrigle Sisters, promoting Emmy Lou Harris and others... singing  live on Broadway doing Pirates of Penzance (first at Joseph Papp's NY Shakespeare Theater), singing with an orchestra doing her Nelson Riddle songs, doing her Mexican stuff, you name it I saw it. I hadn't realized this so clearly, and I was flooded with wonderful memories of all those really great concerts all over the place! What an important and loved part of my musical experiences she has been!

I went into my storage locker and went digging, and found some prints of photos I took of her way way back when, from August of 1972 in Lenox, MA (I was so young then, but already shooting 35mm film at concerts and developing and printing my own shots in my little darkroom). Geez!

Here are some of them, just for fun. Sorry about the quality, these are scans of some very old prints, I took them on August 12, 1972.

Anyway, enjoy.

Reports on the other two films to come.  :D

Thanks! +1 to you!

Back in the day, as long as you weren't obnoxious about it, you could often go right up to the front of the audience at the edge of the stage, or nearly that close, and photograph away. NO flash was the key, not blocking any audience members, and being very low-key and quiet about it. I took photos like this at so many concerts I hardly remember them all. Somewhere I've got shots of a lot of performers, all from a long time ago, nearly all in black and white, which I preferred. I got good at developing and printing from color slides (I preferred slide quality over print film back then), but it was more laborious and I liked trying to capture the energy in black and white photos more.

Whew! Such memories... I seem to be in a very reflective place these days, lots of memories and emotions. None bad, but lots of feeling wistful for what felt like sweeter times in the world, whether it was true in reality or not. At least it felt that way at the time.

Ok, so the second film I saw, last week, was Judy, with Renee Zellweger. I was never a big fan of Judy Garland, but had heard good things about this film, based on a play from London about the last few months of her life.

I was stunned, to be honest. The film is a kind of masterpiece, Zellweger was amazing, really became Judy Garland, and I was left feeling I will never be able to look at Judy Garland performing or hear her singing again in the same way. It was brutal and very compassionate at the same time, a respectful but truthful exploration of her life, the inner workings of her mind and emotions and relationships towards the end of her life... and it clearly delineated the factors that led to her swift decline and early death.

I hadn't quite realized how destructive and controlling Louis B. Mayer and the MGM Studio system was over her, very very destructive, hooking her on uppers and downers while she was in her teens, and controlling every minute of every day, creating a false life for her for the public which was very different from her actual daily life.

If you get the chance, go. I'm betting Zellweger will win the Academy Award for this one, for Best Actress if not also for having produced the film.

Go even if you weren't a big Judy Garland fan, you won't be sorry!  ;)

So the last film I'll talk about is the one I saw today, Western Stars with Bruce Springsteen. That's the name of his new album and also the film.

Seems he wrote a new album of songs, first in a few years. They are reflective and thoughtful, and very good. He decided not to tour, but chose to do one concert of the entire album in order, in the huge barn on his farm. It has a very high curved roof, and the sound is amazing. He and his arranger and producer put together a 30-piece orchestra, his wife Patti Scialfa, a 4-woman group of backup singers, and a full band. They invited a very small audience, maybe 25 people, and set the place up like a bar/club.

The songs are intercut with reflective and illustrative commentary from him, explaining what he was thinking about when he wrote each song, how he developed the characters, what he was feeling, etc. It's actually very moving and interesting, worth seeing.

As a bonus he also does the best cover of Rhinestone Cowboy with glee, maybe the best version I've ever heard. The theater was not overly crowded, but most of the audience started singing live and kind of partying with him for Rhinestone Cowboy, really fun.

It's not in a wide theatrical release, I don't think, but it's playing smaller independent film houses around the country, presented by Fathom Events. Fathom Events offers limited run films of interesting arts events, sometimes ballet, Broadway musicals, restorations of great older films, etc. You might want to check them out!

If you can, and if you like Springsteen (I do, and have seen him live, too), find a way to go, it'll be better in a theater than at home!

Ok, I'm done now, I'm going back into my corner for now.  ;D

There's no such thing as an ''assault weapon''.  That is a political term made up by people like Diane Feinstein to score political points.

There are only 3 types of weapons, as follow:

- fully automatic:  the weapon continues to fire bullets as long as the trigger is held down (machine gun, already illegal)
- semi-automatic:  the weapon fires a bullet each time the trigger is pulled (all other guns)
- single shot:  a weapon that needs to be reloaded each time it is fired (like the old flintlock guns from 200 years ago)

What it comes down to is politicians and their media allies trying to ban more and more features of semi-automatic weapons, and, ultimately, all weapons.

I know just the girl(s) for you! I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that you need some sweet lovin’ from a BIG girl. Not only will she eat pork chops while in the thrones of love making, she’d likely gobble your knob like a Thanksgiving day turkey drumstick.

Now that I have your attention, would you prefer import or domestic?

My friend used to imitate Dr. Ruth as part of his routine.  One verbatim (I think) bit that involved using meat to choke his chicken.  Another was a man who used sandpaper...

He's a cheese sandwich kind o guy. I am not. And I'll go not to far out on a limb here by suggesting the cheese was directly extracted from his girls undercarriage lady-town crevices, anal and otherwise.  YUCK   I've no interest in his recipes nor do I need his cooking tips.

Before Getty, maybe go to the artists and labels...    Don't forget to watermark and lower resolution & contrast before pitching them. I'm sure there's a tutorial online somewhere.

Thanks for the good advice, will do. Some of them, of course, have passed away, like John Denver. I had not great ones of Carly Simon at her very first concert, opening for Cat Stevens at Carnegie Hall. She could hardly look at the audience! I think I have Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits), Patti Smith, a bunch of others I can't even recall. I know I have the negatives, I don't know what shape they're in, but I don't know that I have prints of all of them. Sigh... another voyage back to the past!

I knew Sonny Carter well. He was a stutterer who overcame it well enough to command a high school rifle drill team. Then he went to Emory University where he took up soccer and became the first American drafted to play professionally. He got his MD from the Medical College of Georgia. As he had been in ROTC throughout college, he entered the Navy and became the first medical officer to land a plane on an aircraft carrier. He then went to NASA and flew on the space shuttle. Unfortunately, he died in a commercial plane crash.

I’ve also met Ray Charles, Little Richard and Bonnie Bramlett who punched out Elvis Costello for calling Ray Charles the n-word.

I was involved in Independent Verification and Validation of the ISS Flight Software the first time. 

The second time I was on an industry board of advisors to come up with commercialization of the pool to help defray the costs involved with operating and maintaining it. I think I actually saved the pool in one meeting when I asked a dumb question that none of the engineers had thought to ask.  If they had allowed the company to use the pool for testing the equipment it probably would have destroyed the structural integrity of the pool.  The company had been testing this device in a flooded rock quarry and wanted a more convenient place to test.

That reminds me of somewhere my father took us when we were really young. He had some property in Vermont and while up there one time he took us to an abandoned green marble quarry. I remember being very impressed by this gigantic deep hole and wondering two things.
How did they get way down there to get the marble
Why were there no safety railings
We did pick up a whole bunch of marble hunks.
I still like green marble.

No, dear. This is the "Whatever: The Open Lines Thread," all kinds of topics.

The Ghost to Ghost segment was requested by some listeners, not planned in advance. I can assure you no one associated with LPTD has any delusions that we are trying to be Art Bell-like. There was only one Art Bell, never to be replaced. This is just a fun little occasional podcast is all, casual and between friends, nothing more.

I have come to like, not love, the Patrick/Gish (I'm not googling that, hope I got it right) era.  Although the episodes became less memorable, The Brady Bunch episode was probably the highlight.  In the last couple, three years, Vince Gilligan was really setting up Breaking Bad in his head.  You could see its gestation.

It was just too bad that they worked so hard to close that circle on the UFO/aliens arc.  That was very much a jump the shark effort.

If I ever go back to watch this series again, I will want to watch it in its original aspect ratio. I really dislike the changes in resolution in different scenes.

I have come to like, not love, the Patrick/Gish (I'm not googling that, hope I got it right) era.  Although the episodes became less memorable, The Brady Bunch episode was probably the highlight.  In the last couple, three years, Vince Gilligan was really setting up Breaking Bad in his head.  You could see its gestation.

It was just too bad that they worked so hard to close that circle on the UFO/aliens arc.  That was very much a jump the shark effort.

If I ever go back to watch this series again, I will want to watch it in its original aspect ratio. I really dislike the changes in resolution in different scenes.

Vince Gilligan. Of course. I'd never put that together about Breaking Bad.  Which was sooo good. I'm watching Better Call Saul. It's good too but can't quite reach that level of dark magic that Breaking Bad had

Well. At least you will be a week ahead of everyone else. According to The Google we change next week

2019       Sun, Nov 3 at 2:00 am         PDT → PST

All three West Coast states have approved staying on Daylight Savings Time all year round. Just winding up the red tape 🐱

Really??? I'd like that!

Did that study take into consideration such things as after school jobs, homework, meal time and grooming/bathing?  If you start later, you end later.  We'll probably see more kids late for school or missing school because their parents' work schedules will not be changing.  That is, if the state wants the parents to be working.  And, for kids who are habitually late, who knows if they'll start arresting parents like they've done in the past.

To me, it just seems like a time shift. A democrat supermajority "busy work" project. In a few years, they will have a study saying if they started even later they would have more time.  There's always a boogeyman out there and the unintended consequences of slaying it probably be more detrimental than beneficial.

I just read a detailed article citing lots of research and data showing that the time changes to daylight time are not so good for our bodies, it screws with our circadian rhythms vs. daylight cycles. We'd be better off just staying on standard time all year round, plus there are no energy savings created by daylight time, which was supposedly the stated purpose of changing times.

These fucking fascists at PG&E.

For years, decades, they've spent the money they told us they needed to keep their equipment maintained and upgraded on fatcat salaries, shareholder dividends, and other waste instead.  Now that they are being held to account by the courts they've decided to punish their customers, hoping the 'customers' will pressure the legislature, who will then to give PGE a pass on their malevolency.

As an important monopoly, they are supposed to be regulated by the PUC, but of course top PUC and PGE employees go back and forth between the two organizations, and there isn't much meaningful 'regulation' going on at all.  PGE is a big donor to all the legislators in our one-party corrupt banana republic, so, you know, there isn't much meaningful oversight from them either.  All of which adds up to these scumbags assuming they can get away with these shutoffs, and ultimately end up with immunity from fires and deaths they cause.

Where I live there hasn't been any forest fires - ever, nothing - but we're being punished just the same.

PG&E is a cheap, greedy, dishonest, incompetent, corrupt, unethical organization, and I can't wait for them to go completely bankrupt and the management of our power grid turned over to someone else.  With all the corruption, bums, filth, incompetence, and now no power, we may as well be living is some forth world country.  At least things would be affordable.

The possible silver lining is the governor standing above the cowardly legislators and PUC and sticking it up PGE's ass .  He'd rather be president someday than just go along with all this.  He's showing signs of backbone, and siding the public. 

Speaking of the public, I'm going to do my best to not strangle the next person around here who says something along the lines of ''well, it's for our safety''.  Jesus Christ.

Jerry Brown's sister was profiting by being on boards and employed by many California utilities. 

Utilities were caught with a married female lobbyist fucking politicians to get away with relaxed public utilities rules (I can't find the stories in Google any longer, humm).  Video of a politician bragging that his conquest left her going up stairs with his ejaculate dripping out of her... Something about "eyepatch" panties too. Yep.

Corruption is deep. Nothing will change with a democrat supermajority and 130% voter turnout in areas of the state (aka voter fraud, a Berkeley study says 3.5 million ineligible voters are on the books in CA alone).

Hehehe.  What is hilarious is that I grew up in San Diego, it's always been like this.  I remember in the early 70s when we were putting bricks in toilets (in the tanks, silly) to cut down on water use. Turning off lights in school on sunny days, to save electricity.  Not watering lawns was another one. It's all been done before 45-50 years ago.  Bonnie Haynes did a series on our climate's effect on consumerism for KOGO/KGTV channel 10.  We live in the desert.  It hasn't changed over 200 years.  the only thing that has changed is that there is a lot more pavement around the official weather stations.  The average or median day-night temperature was 63.2° in the early 80s (I won a contest knowing that, I think in 1981...).  Last year, 63.6°.  Sun spot activity and polar shift changes how those cosmic rays hit our planet and jet streams form easily account for variations. Add pavement's impact and maybe those temps would have dropped without development.

PG&E = Capitalist Fat Cats. That's about as far as you can get from Communism. Not to worry, @sean92008 and @PB . More state regulations to check the energy conglomerates will be coming. Along with a shit ton more environmental legislation to address climate change. Where do you think the Diablos and Santa Anas are coming from? God?

Now quit shitting up this thread and you Grumpy Old Poops get back to your echo chamber in Politics. I will even meet you there and kick all your asses singlehanded. Or at least pick up a broom and start sweeping the forest floor

Who do you think funds your friends in Sacramento?  No one could be so brazen - and continue to have the ability to be so brazen - without the entire California political establishment in their pocket. 

There are plenty of regulations, what we need is someone not connected to PG&E - or the legislature, if that's not redundant - to hold them to account, and insist they spend the money they charge for maintenance and upgrades to actually be spent on maintenance and upgrades.

To show you how bad it is, here's our local Democrat paper upbraiding our Democrat governor.  I was shocked they would write something so spot on about their allies:

I really miss Thailand. Today I decided to try to make some Panang curry to use up a half of baked chicken that was going to spoil if I didn’t eat it. I didn’t half the little pea sized eggplants that are customary but I had everything else. I added in a handful of snap peas towards the end.  It turned out pretty good.

A lotion with glycerin works well. Also I find Shea butter works nicely, but the trick is to put it on at night with cotton gloves (or socks would work in a pinch). Stay away from mineral oil, the molecules are too big to effectively penetrate the skin. Jojoba Oil works nicely- again at night when you go to bed with cotton cover. If you don’t mind the pain you can go with some of the cracked or chapped hand cream geared at working men. It’ll hurt though and there’s better ways. Also, stay away from antibacterial soap- it will devastate your skin.

Awwww ... Thanks,  @SpookPumpkin  🐱🐱🐱

I loove to give advice! But I'm terrible about taking it.  From your posts sounds like you are using an alcohol-based sanitizer. Not too many ingredients more drying than alcohol. During the day use moisturizing cream, not lotion. When I had a bad burn the doctor recommended Eucerin. Every time you wash your hands you need to re-apply. At night you can apply petroleum jelly and wear thin cotton gloves. After the worst dryness is under control,  99.9% pure aloe vera is good for ongoing healing and moisturizing but you need something stronger when it is at its worse

Problem is the way the appropriation process works in the federal government. Funding can’t cross FY boundaries so the programs ebb and flow with each congressional election and the destination changes with each presidential election.

Note. This is not a political discussion. Not taking sides. Just stating facts.

Bush had a good plan with SLI. Obama cancelled it but then was forced to keep SLS and Orion by Congress. Building a rocket and a capsule with no destination.  It was going to go somewhere but not the moon because that was Bush’s plan.  Now Trump says go back to the moon.  And NASA answered a question yesterday saying they don’t know if they will bring back rocks from the moon because the Ofion capsule wasn’t designed with a dedicated storage space for sample returns.

If Trump gets reelected we might actually go back to the moon.  If he doesn’t the program will probably get canceled because it was Trump’s plan.  So then we might go to Mars. Or to an asteroid.  Or somewhere. But Congress will say they have to use SLS and Orion because too many congressional districts are involved in their development.

Multi year budgets/funding appropriation for nationwide strategic initiatives like this will be the only real solution but currently that is against the law.

Private companies are great but aren’t they evil capitalist dogs?

If private companies are working government contracts then you have the same funding allocation issues across fiscal years.  If they were to do it totally without government funding I would have concerns about space law and who owns what, what are the safeguards against contamination of a place like Mars, what are the litter laws, and how strong is their contract with the commercial astronauts so that when they die on or on the way back from Mars that some litigious family member doesn’t end up owning SpaceX. 

I like the private initiatives as a concept but I think we should have NASA in charge or China or India will end up owning the moon.

P.s. there was nothing political in that last half.  You saw Trump’s name and made the assumption.  It doesn’t matter who is in office. That is the point.  History since 1969 has proved that the priorities will change when the president changes.

LMH is active. She does a live YouTube show on Wednesday night (I think it’s Wednesday) and she still does conferences.  I’m not sure why she blew of C2C.  Probably got tired of stupid questions and flirty love songs from Snoory.  @Sofia probably knows why.

She is monetizing there and probably takes in good money from superchat.

I have to agree w/@ Gravity's recommendations.

About the coconut oil. Cold pressed is best as it contains the amino acids and other beneficial compounds that are destroyed at 117 degrees Fahrenheit.
The coconut (and olive) oil keeps the moisture from escaping the skin. Cold pressed is more expensive though.
Coconut oil liquifies at 76 degrees Fahrenheit which makes it excellent as a moisturizer - it absorbs quickly.

Plain old olive oil is very good also ( extra virgin(s) not required  ;)  ;D  ) as it is very high in Vitamin E. The darker the better though- It's hard to tell, if they come in green bottles - to keep light  from destroying the nutritional value. If it's too thick, just thin it down with a little water and it will absorb without leaving your hands greasy.
But, if your hands are dry enough that they are cracked, the olive oil should suck right into your hands and keep your body moisture from escaping.
Oh, and drink lots of water. Most people go through life dehydrated. I average a gallon and a half a day, and I look 20 years younger than what I am..
Your body can't properly function without sufficient hydration.  ;)

I've heard good things about shea butter and emu oil, but have no experience w/ them.

If you have any Lavender oil (the cheap stuff works just fine,) mix one or two drops in with the coconut, olive, emu oil, or the shea butter,  (per application) and you'll never get sick during the cold and flu season either. Lavender is strong enough to protect you from Bubonic Plague. (Historical fact)
I have spent time pent up in rooms full of people that all were sick. A couple of drops on the hands and rubbed in works wonders, and just the airborne particles will help the sick people around you recover faster. Plus it smells good. (That takes care of the engagement thing - lol.   ;)     )

@SpookPumpkin, Trader Joe's has non-hydrogenated virgin coconut oil. I believe it's considered organic as well.

I use it, love it. Great for popping corn, cooking and easy cleanup.

That's what's so great about our IM program, I can figure out where they are usually within 5 minutes through their IP. They do tell me everything and everywhere they're going because they know I have eyes in the sky...  It doesn't hurt that my kids all know directly of somebody who has died from an overdose or alcohol abuse/drunk driving.  True, that is not always a great motivator but...

@TigerLily, the one thing with paying for their schooling is that I don't enjoy myself. I run on low budget all the time not because I have to but because it's the best way to manage the money.  Cheap beer, no hotel rooms with the cute skincare salesgirl, I don't have fun... It's OK, my kids all have better futures than my parents gave me. Those bastards.

Still planning to watch SF and the Seahawks Monday night though.  Don't even remember last time I watched any games. 

Hopefully the SF defense will play exactly the way Pete Carroll coaches his teams - late hits, constant pass interference, more late hits, cheap shots on the QB, sitting on people and grinding them into the turf after the play.  Fair's fair.

Well welcome to Dixie.  You've got about a four hour trip, deep into the Nantahala Forest from Winston.   I can ask him but they find Quebecois particulary tasty.   Perhaps you should just swing by Asheville and check out the Vanderbilt House and drink some wine or something.

I don't understand football. Did the cat win the game?
If so, I'm very proud of it. If not, I'm very proud of it.

The cat got the biggest cheer. That's good 😺

My first thought on seeing the cat was if it would turn the game around in favor of the Cowboys.  There was a closeup shot of Dak looking at the cat, and I wondered if he was thinking the same.  Turns out, he was.

You're right. That was when the game pretty much turned around. Dak and Black. Two cool cats

Kinda creepy actually

@TigerLily     Ha!  I agree with you on the creepy part.  I was skeptical when Tom Hanks was given the part.  I thought that maybe the guy who played Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory could pull it off, but he doesn't have the star power.

I'm looking forward to seeing this.  By all accounts it's more about the reporter and less about Fred Rogers.  Still...I'm looking forward to it.

Kind of a sad anniversary today. November 7, 2000 was the last day that no one was killed in a traffic accident on Texas highways.  19 solid years of at least one person dying every day just from traffic accidents. We actually average about 10 per day. 

I knew two of them. 

One was killed by a drunk driver. 

One was killed when she ran into a light pole while texting. Her Explorer caught on fire and she burned to death while bystanders tried to get her out of the vehicle. She was 16.

Please don’t drink and drive. Please don’t text and drive.   

p.s.  I was at work when I heard on the radio that a high school girl was killed in a black SUV 1 mile from my daughter’s high school. It took me a frantic hour and a half before I finally figured out it wasn’t my daughter, it was one of her friends that drove a similar vehicle.

@sean92008  I admit that I'm a little skeptical as to how this movie will pan out.  They may not address his religious convictions.  After all, he didn't make that a topic in his television show.  Plus, this seems to be a movie more about the reporter who developed a relationship with Fred Rogers than Fred himself as a person.  We shall see.  ;)

When I come down the stairs in the morning the talking starts (her talking) and the ass wiggle with a tail like Godzilla almost slaps her in the face. Almost dancing. But I don't come down the stairs with my phone because we keep our devices down in the laundry room overnight. I can try and film something but the snow is falling and outdoor antics are going to be somewhat sparse for a few months.  In the winter she just sits on the couch looking out front thru the blinds. Looks like she's thinking about something sad - like - maybe Timmy got stuck in the well and he froze to death last night coz she wasn't there to save him.  :'(

And now he's just, DEAD!

Picture below is her trying to be comfortable on a large rock at a creek we go to. There's no comfy place for her there so she goes to her rock. Takes her about 15 minutes every time to find the sweet spot. I still don't think she's comfortable because the "I wanna go home" sounds are unending.

I think what they love even more is to be among the other vets and military folks. Our DAV guys are there to greet each one as they come in and boy, oh, boy, most are off and running with their stories of when they served. I love it!

Lol  We always have a great time out and about in nature. There are no shortage of beautiful spots to go where we know nobody else will be. We usually DO take one of her giant breed beds but not there. The rocks are just brutal and she can't get cozy no matter what. She usually explores for an hour and then goes to the rock. Every other spot we go to she loves. Because they're big girl cozy spots.

I was going to post this in the football thread. But I'm too tired to walk over there. And after all, this is the "whatever" thread*. So ...

Whew! Just finished watching the Niners/Seahawks game. That was exhausting. Including tonight, I watched 5 games this weekend. In every one of them the team I wanted to win, didn't 😾. But still a lot of them were really good games. So overall I'm still content 😺


*but hopefully no politics 😾

... Whew! Just finished watching the Niners/Seahawks game. That was exhausting...

I foolishly tuned in to watch the second half, the first sports I've watched lately.

SF is up two in the loss column to their division rival, Seattle, with five of their final eight games (incl this one) looking to be tough contests.  Going into OT, SF is without their top two receivers and not passing well.  Their kicker for a potential FG is a rookie fill-in in his first game

They get the ball with 1:40 on the clock deep in their own territory.  A tie leaves them still up the two games over their division rival.  Seattle has no timeouts left and can't stop the clock.

The main job here is to make sure Seattle doesn't get the ball back.  Just run the ball and kill the clock -  pick up a fresh set of downs then maybe pass once.  Get off the field without risking a loss.  Terrible clock management, terrible strategy based on all the drops, near interceptions, and other bad passes at the end of the 4th quarter and in OT.

I’ve been to DC dozens of times and never knew about the clock tower observation deck. I went up there today. It is the 3rd tallest structure in DC and has a 360 degree view of the Capital. It’s not run by Trump. That part of it is operated by the National Parks Service.  Only 25 people are allowed up there at a time.  It was cool.

NOVEMBER 22ND.
For many people the assassination of John F. Kennedy is a 'flashbulb memory' - a memory they can instantly recall where they were when the news broke of his death. I was only a kid at the time.
However, the USA changed after this assassination. This was the start of something new.
Years later, I joined a chat room on AOL called the Grassy Knoll. From time to time, Art Bell was in this chat room.

Always, even if it means I might get washed down to the lagoon...  I just wish that it would be more frequent.

Thing is, it's averaged less than 10 inches of rain for nearly 50 years but all these young people and out-of-staters don't understand that. Back in the early seventies, we were putting bricks in the toilet tank to take up some of that extra water space. It's not climate change, it's the norm in this arid place called Southern California.

On another note, I saw this online today and thought you all might enjoy it. I don't know who comedian Sara Benincasa is, but her setups for the list of tweets ragging on Rudy Giuliani's name is hilarious... and I don't see this as a particularly political post, just some ragging on someone whose name is trending for a number of reasons right now.

On another note, I saw this online today and thought you all might enjoy it. I don't know who comedian Sara Benincasa is, but her setups for the list of tweets ragging on Rudy Giuliani's name is hilarious... and I don't see this as a particularly political post, just some ragging on someone whose name is trending for a number of reasons right now.

I stayed at an Airbnb rental in Silver Spring, Maryland for 2 weeks.  It was a quaint apartment built in the upper level of a brick home.  I picked it because it had a washer and dryer. 

I told the woman that I rented the place from that I didn’t think the lint trap on the dryer had ever been emptied.  She kind of argued with me so I sent her a picture of the lint I pulled out.  I bet she really bitches out her maid service.

@KSM have you ever seen so much lint?

@GravitySucks
Holy Mother Of Pearle! Looks like a deformed lint monster that didn't finish changing back to normal..  Did you write the host a review?  Sometimes hosts can be shitheads and argue with you about weird things as they are easily offended when you ask them questions. And with reviews it's like a waiting game because both host and guest will wait to get the Airbnb notification that the other has left them a review. I've written/typed at least 20 unreturned reviews. It's frustrating as hell because they'll sign the guestbook with all kinds of wonderful things to say but SOME guests can't be bothered to keep their Airbnb app alerts on to leave one for us. Reviews expire at 14 days. We're at 78  5 star reviews now but we've had well over 100 bookings in two years.

Mild filibuster. Apologies

Happy thanksgiving to you.

Yes @KSM   i always leave a review.  I didn’t mention the lint in my review because the rest of the stay was very enjoyable. I haven’t gotten one back from here yet.  I think I got reviews from everywhere I stayed in Thailand.

I had never used Airbnb but I started using it when I went to Thailand.  I got some incredible deals there.  One of the best places I stayed was a penthouse apartment in Pattaya with a rooftop pool. It cost me about $30 per night. 

Here in the states the advertised rates are artificially low.  The cleaning fees are so high at the places I checked that I would probably not rent if it was less than a week long stay.

How many reviews are you at?  I'll bet you'd be a good guest..   Airbnb is always asking hosts to lower their prices. Some do (everything is local of course) so the lowballing begins. We stick to our price and our reviews speak for themselves.

Unfortunately   since my little retirement stint I've been the MAID!!! The cleaning service ;D I put my hair up in an old lady swimming cap like you see at the pool and I giver! Music cranked and beer flowing!! Jimmy crack corn and  I don't care how ridiculous I look.  But everything is covered in our base price. I've heard some of the best listings on the planet are in NZ.  Not surprising

I’ve written about 10. I think I have 6 written on me, all stated they would rent to me again. Even the guy that only writes in Russian in Ko Samui Thailand that had to go buy bath towels and toilet paper. I left a mediocre review on that stay.  I didn’t want to get whacked by the Russian mob.

LOLOL  The worst thing (I write all the reviews) is when I give a guest a 3 or 4 o'5 only to see that they have left a glorious review for us with 5 stars on all fronts. I just feel horrible but sometimes.. ya know..  gotta be honest :-[

@KSM just an example of the fees. The nightly rate for the place I just rented was $50 per night. The total cost for 14 nights was $1008.  Cleaning  fee was $95. Airbnb fee was $103.  Taxes were $110.  Still much cheaper than a hotel.

Yeah the fee's fees? lol do add up. Right now we have two guys who work for a demo crew over there. They checked in last Thursday and leave December 14. Our payout is exactly $3,101.09 they are booked through a well known company but the extra $$$ charged to them that we don't know about must be really high, but they the company have the money so.. ok then.  Sometimes an out of town single nurse or Dr. will book the entire place for herself or himself for weeks on end (all paid for by medical) These guests don't cook or eat there, they're at the hospital all day. These guests rock because they use the place to shower and sleep. No wear n tear and cleaning up after them is so much easier. Even after weeks of them being there.

You probably heard this, but Ben Franklin wanted turkey as the National Bird.

That sounds plain yucky. But, like I say, you decide...HAVE IT YOUR WAY IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU SEEM LIKE THE TYPE THAT WOULD EAT A BALD EAGLE! JUST SEE IF I CARE BECAUSE I DON'T!!

I must tell you, I can't place the color. It's like a blond cherry  ??  It's a high quality German board that of course was discontinued ::) Flooring companies do that all the time without notice. I tell all my customers to buy no less that two extra boxes per 300 sq ft just in case.

I have THIS flooring (pictured) in my studio. Really close up.  As I look at it I see one of Vera's hairs just left of center. Hmm better sweep :D  This floor is NUTS in an awesome way! Textured

Thanks! When I lived in my NYC apartment and my dopey upstairs neighbor caused a huge idiotic flood, I have to have the wood floors replaced in my whole downstairs area and upstairs in the suspended bedroom (full height, but a loft design with half-high walls on two sides, full walls on the other two, nice). It was a shame because the wood was beautiful and I think from the 1960's but in great shape. NYC requires 80% carpeting in apartments under the noise control laws, so the floors were still good.

I chose a cherry wood, not too rich but really elegant and warm, and it ended up looking great. It boosted the sale price when I sold my apartment for sure!

Oh trust me, you and her would get along quite well. I know you well enough by now and I fuck the living shit outta her a few times week so I figure everything equals out in the end. I have no idea what any of that means but I laughed as I posted it and that's all that matters. To ME!

..Seriously, what is it about the nutcracker things that people like so much? They're just weird looking statues and figurines that look more like Halloween than beautiful Christmas. AND THAT NUTCRACKER SONG/MUSIC???  What is it @GravitySucks I WANT TO KNOW!!  Not only do I hate these things in or around my house but it's just more shit that I! have to find space for the other 11 months of the cockadootie year!!

EDIT!! you have nooooo idea how much crap she brings home acting like she got a huge deal on while looking at me as I try not to burst with anger knowing she wants to hear me say "Oh my God honey, you're so awesome at finding all this fucking horrible cunting crap for me to tolerate being around me while slowly sucking me dry and void of any Saturday morning happiness while I try to enjoy my morning coffee knowing that you have other crap in the back of your truck that we may never even unbox but as long as you tell me you got it all on a great deal I'm sooooo fucking happy I could just shit myself in my breakfast chair!"

I wasn't sure where to post this but thought it was a pretty pic and a new weather term I have never heard before...

Atmospheric river...

Yeah the weather marketing folks came up with that one a few years ago, the dreaded ''el nino'' weather reports weren't drawing enough eyeballs anymore.

I wonder what atmospheric fish taste like, and do we need a fishing license to catch them..

I heard the weather report today, it said Bombocycle. Never heard that before

I got hit with that bomb cyclone last week.  I think it was the first time that I heard that term.

Absolutely lovely, @Jayzelady . I've spent time in Baton Rouge. Beautiful when I was there but so hot and humid. I felt like I was swimming through the air. I'm sure to some extent you can adjust to it. What was really special was the gracious people. And the food! I had jambalaya once and an unforgettable shrimp étouffé. One of my best meals of all time. Only got a quick afternoon in N'Awlins. Just made me want to go back sometime

@anniem Look, it's not you guys, it's me. Been under a lot of Christmassy stress lately with joy and love everywhere I go. Yesterday three strangers gave me an unsolicited hug :o ??? I was literally wrapped in joy and I vomited on one of them because the joy was overwhelming and I started to feel like I was on an emotional roller coaster. Love and affection can be like a werewolf ripping you apart with cuddles, hugs and kisses. You have to understand. I can only take so much adoration from my fans.     And now you've got me crying :'(

My apologies for my crass and somewhat verbose rant. I hope I get ringworm for Christmas. That's what I deserve.

Oh, dear. I have had yet another very pressured day, they seem to be coming around often these days.

You nutcases have me laughing out loud! I'd like to say thank you but I'm not sure how much I should be encouraging you all.

Does it count that I tried to practice putting out candle flames with a sort-of whip that was part of my store-bought Zorro outfit way back when? I don't have it handy any longer, of course, or I'd offer to try to extinguish a candle flame again.

On the other hand, perhaps it's just as well, I wouldn't want to set anything on fire!  8)

@anniem, I think you should let us know when you have carefully stepped down that one step so @KSM doesn't have to boil his penis in oil (geez, it hurts to even type that!). Thank you, I know we will all feel relieve, not to mention KSM.

Every once in awhile I see a young guy in his late teens or early 20's walking by himself. Black leather jackets and long hair ETC.. There are a few of these early me's walking around town. They're always alone and I'll bet that what they're listening to in the earbuds is music with real drums, real recorded guitars and vocalists that didn't need autotune. Could be the Ramones, could be AC/DC or even Kiss. All I know is that these guys don't give two fucks about what everybody else their age is doing. I'm always in my truck at a stop sign or red light when I see these guys but we do see each other. Sounds a lil weird I know..

I want to gather all five or six of these random dudes up and introduce them to each other. Perhaps they'd make a great band. Those young fucks are my sons. Or at least that's how I feel, and they always give me an enthusiastic nod as if they're relieved to see themselves in the future. #familiars

@Aquarius is that a bald eagle? We saw one today when we walked Boodie.

It is indeed, he/she was a welcome visitor to the tree directly across the street from our house, behind the neighbor's house. It's the tallest longleaf pine tree on the edge of the golf course behind their house, and it's great for predator birds to sit in to scout for their prey on the golf course. That's the tree all the Swallow-Tailed Kites my M.U. is researching fly into every year for about three months, dozens of 'em. Cool!

I loved seeing that eagle, there are a few around here, but I don't often see them right next to the house.

+1 for observant @anniem!

You probably shouldn't encourage us, but if you think about it it's @juan 's fault- he demanded entertainment. And yes, I'd love a demonstration.  ;D

Sure! If I see a complete Zorro outfit anytime soon, I'll be happy to pick one up and practice! Video only if successful, I do have a Leo moon after all.  ;D

P.S. Of course it's @juan's fault! And a good thing, too... I think.  ;)

Well, I've had a lot of whatever going on lately so I'm very happy for this thread! Thank you @Sugarplum Lily and @Bart Ell!

P.S. Sugarplum Lily...I like it! I think we're lucky, though, that our avatars don't play accompanying music. Otherwise you'd have to attach a brief excerpt from the Nutcracker Suite Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies and then we would all have to block you so we wouldn't keep hearing it over and over! How fortunate we all are, I don't think anyone wants to block you! Whew!  8)

Ranch kid here, learned to drive stick early too. Remember when the power steering used to go out so you had to use both hands to steer? Lol my first car was a 3 on the tree, one winter I burned out the clutch trying to get unstuck from the snow. It still makes me smile when I think about how red my Dad’s face got when he found out. I had to ride the bus for a month.

That was the good thing about learning to drive on country roads, very few if any stop signs, no cars most times, no cops. And having a very patient daddy helped, but you did have to watch out for cows that had gotten loose. Ahhh...my younger good old days.

I prefer them, can always be in the correct gear.

I used to take my little Z car out on the backroads after the first snow, and later when they were very icy, drive along and throw it into a spin, a slide, do donuts, chase each other around. 

I told myself it was good training for driving in the snow.  I'm not sure all that would have even been possible with an automatic.

I'm not even sure what crawfish, crayfish, and crawdads are.  I've seen exactly two in creeks around here, sort of like the one pictured but much smaller - they were both about the size of a quarter, at most - and sort of nondescript, but each had one big red claw. 

What I do know is, like crabs, lobsters, etc, they have a common ancestor with insects.

I'm not even sure what crawfish, crayfish, and crawdads are.  I've seen exactly two in creeks around here, sort of like the one pictured but much smaller - they were both about the size of a quarter, at most - and sort of nondescript, but each had one big red claw. 
What I do know is, like crabs, lobsters, etc, they have a common ancestor with insects.

But they do taste a hell of alot better in etouffee and boiled with Cajun seasonings than any way you could fix crickets. 😁

While I'm here I did these stairs today. Took three whole hours and they're beautifully done. Although I hate that wood. Looks like 08.

@Christmas Farm Penis   :o  Jeez.  I can identify with those statements.  I just came to some sort of realization.  Spite is the key word.  I personally deprave myself out of good things out of spite.  First, last or nothing is right.  I think I inadvertently made a breakthrough.  Cheers!  :D

BTW...the craftsmanship of the stairs is very nice.  I hate the wood too.  Is that trim plastic or wood.  Looks like a protective trim as not to ruin the edges.  I have no idea.

@Christmas Farm Penis   LOL!  I felt the same way when I was running kitchens.  I'd get a compliment about a dish or a menu and in the back of my mind I'd think 'really?'  I never ate my own food.  Weird, I know.  I did taste it though.  I just made stuff I thought people would like and make the owner $$$ so I could make $$$.  ;)

*Now, if someone made me the same dish I'd enjoy it.  I hate my own work too but like other people's.  :-\

Very nice at first glance. But  no thanks.  The stairs in all their beauty are FanFuckingTastic! Wood is good.  But not just any furniture can go with that look.  And whoever installed that clumped his boards together. Not very well planned out in the first picture if you look at the bottom. If one of my guys did that he'd get punched in the face.

Installer should plan the layout.  But those stairs and the very complimentary trim :-*

Guess I should ask if that's your house?  If you're happy, I'm happy for you.

@PolkaDot  Yes the hardwood chocolate looking stairs are something else. I did a spiral staircase in the same product and it's like you just want to hang around the stairs and sip whiskey. Stairs! Who'd a thunk it. Nothing beats the wood look :)  And that wasn't an inuendo.

Full disclosure, I was remarkably intoxicated when I had the crickets - although I'd have gotten them anyway, and I'd be happy to give these insect cousins a chance as well

Having said that, I do like crab - but not enough to buy it.  Too much work to eat, with all the shell and such.  These look like even more work to get through.

Thank you, @anniem. I hope your Friday the 13th was less frustrating than mine was. Everywhere I went people were talking about it and complaining about how bad it is, how irritating. I was fine until I got irritated by everyone complaining about what started out as a perfectly fine day.

Triskaidekaphobia, sez me, fear of the number 13. Followed by paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia according to Wikipedia, fear of Friday the 13th. A self-manifesting misery! Feh.

Happy 12 days until Christmas @anniem and all the Ellgabbers, everyone. But who's counting? The Twelve Days of Christmas are traditionally December 25 and forward. But we're not a traditional bunch are we?

My favorite untraditional version of The Song. Lots of fun. Hope you guys enjoy it 🐱



Nice, thank you

Nah. Once you get past the near suburbs north of the city, to a city person, you're "upstate." The Catskills barely make it, but they're not a suburb, so... beautiful there, btw, went to summer camp there many eons ago.  ;)

People often use it as the liquid sweetener in recipes. I usually reduce the amount bc I tend to favor more tart or acidic dressings, though this recipe has a lot of bitter greens in it so the first time I’m going to attempt to be faithful to the recipe.

I am trying further my knowledge about sugar replacements. I actually had a discussion today with someone about maple syrup being a great alternative. I read many sweeteners have an aftertaste and will mix sweeteners to avoid such problems.
Agave nectar is another great one. I  used to have a coffee place who would use that instead of even honey.
Maple syrup sounds like a great one.

Don’t be fooled. Sugar is sugar is sugar. The amount of processing and sourcing may be issues but don’t think because you’re eating a tablespoon of maple syrup instead of raw sugar you’re making a big difference to your body. Be careful of Karo, rice syrup, corn syrup because the glycemic index is crazy high. Hmm... I’ll have to look up maple’s glycemic index.

Cutting sugar is pretty easy if you eat at home and don’t buy a lot of processed foods. It’s nearly impossible otherwise- at least for me. The cool thing is once you stop eating a lot of sugar or salt you realize how salty and overly sweet most things are and it kind of grosses you out so it’s easy to keep in the non sweet/ non salty cycle.

In general, I just try and feed my body nutrient dense foods. If you get your sugars from fruits then you get fiber too which is good. Except this time of year that all goes out the window- pass the walnut fudge!!!

You might try Stevia, it's really good and a natural, non-chemical substitute. Possibly easier to digest than agave.

Also there's something called Just Like Sugar, which is actually made from Chickory and tastes exactly like the sugar none of us ought to be consuming.

Monk fruit is really good but can get expensive. The protein powder I need to take every morning to keep in balance has a version with a low amount of sugar, and one which is sugar and stevia free, using monkfruit. That one is more expensive, but works really well for me and tastes good, too. Go figure.

Because of my history of surgery for Crohn's years back (which I have totally healed for years now, btw) I can't deal with most spices. It's really hard outside the house to get food that is not heavily spiced with pepper (which I can't tolerate at all), garlic, and other strong flavored spices. The benefit of my very simple clean diet is I really taste my food exactly as it is... and guess what? When nicely prepared, most food doesn't need much spicing to taste really flavorful!

There's a local restaurant we go to fairly often where the owner/chef has customized a pasta and chicken dish for me made with a light wine sauce. He put a button in their menu computer called "Blandissimo" in my honor, which made us all laugh. He calls it hospital food, he loves spices and flavors. But you know what? It's totally delicious and satisfying to me, and I'm tickled he's done that. A win for all!  ;D

No, just being silly/absurd.

If you ever go to Tecate, just be aware that Tecate beer tastes different in Mexico than in America. Apparently, north of the border drinkers get a much better tasting beer. The locals call it toilet water or something similar...

I drove up to this dump mall to witness the carnage and see if there was anything left...

RIP another Sears.

I do find it sad that Sears is dying. Heck, I can't even name one around me anymore.

They were poorly managed over a decade, locally...  Surprised they lasted this long.

I remember driving 7+ miles up to the store 10 years ago to get MP3 players for my kids that I had pre-ordered. I got the confirmation email and showed up 2 hours later. I checked in and finally gave up 45 minutes later when they didn't pull the stuff out of inventory for me. Although I had bought quite a few things from them in the past, tools, hoses, vacuums, appliances and good old household stuff, that was pretty much it for Sears. I might have bought an odd thing or two since then but they pretty much lost me.

Fry's is next.

I would go there looking for tools primarily.  The internet is just so much easier to buy from. I believe Sears had Mini stores  you could order from? Either way. Sears is dead.

Fry's has now become a shell of what it once was. It used to be a great place from buying pc components because unlike Best Buy.. they had variety.  I personally think it was the internet price matching is what caused the great deterioration...and the internet of course. lol

Fry's had these humongous stores that they got great deals on because RadioShack gave up their "Infinite Universe" leases.  I heard an employee explain that the Fry family owns a bunch of real estate like residential housing and have been putting their money into that and their home improvement companies like carpet cleaning.  In a word, they're treating their stores just like Sears was treating theirs.  For computers, Fry's Electronics and TigerDirect were the shit.  No longer.

No, just being silly/absurd.

If you ever go to Tecate, just be aware that Tecate beer tastes different in Mexico than in America. Apparently, north of the border drinkers get a much better tasting beer. The locals call it toilet water or something similar...

In college our team had a road game in Canada.  The Moosehead, Molson, Labatt's, even Budweiser were markedly better than the same brands on our side of the border.  Turns out the Canadian beer was 5.0%, and the beer sold in the US was 3.2

Imagine, an almost drinkable Budwiper

Well, the Chinese gave German beer a Chinese name.  The original Tsingtao brewery was disassembled in Germany, shipped to China, and reassembled there.

First time I went to China, Tsingtao was for export only.  Every town seemed like they had their own beer, made their own orange soda, and had their own yogurt for sale in the morning (and in some places that's about all they had).  I think I saw a few bottles of Tsingtao in the nicer tourist hotels (where only foreign exchange certificates were accepted), but not often.

It's funny, it occurred to me there are people today with no memory of a very poor, very closed, hostile China - a China with no economy to speak of, few exports, very little to no tourist infrastructure, nothing to buy...;  people with no memory of the Soviet Union and the Cold War...

Well, all I know is it tasted a whole lot better.  I brought some back and we did side-by-side taste tests on all of the ones I listed.  The labels said 5.0 - if that was misleading, so be it.

A quick google check suggests although not constant due to certain factors, 3.2 ABW is approx 4.0 ABV.

I recall my husband and I going to Sears to get a window AC one very hot summer when the house AC was not working. We waited a long time for some help, which did not arrive. My husband picked up the box and headed to the register which was quite far away.  We passed a couple of sales people chatting away...one looked at us and said "Why are you carrying that?"

You said the perfect thing.  Good for you, anniem.  I hate to admit it, but I'm the cause of Sears going belly up.  I tried to buy a stereo system from them once but they wouldn't let me charge it because I had no previous credit history.  I got mad and put a curse on them.  One of my bigger curses, as a matter of fact.  Still, it took a good forty plus years to take effect.

THEY DONE ME WRONG! The curse must have needed to gain some momentum.
So the house AC, it was a new unit. it would randomly shut down. Of course when we needed it most. Nothing seemed wrong, finally they sent out a senior tech who discovered that in the manufacturing of one of the hoses when it was cut a round disc was crated that was the exact size of the hose. They normally fell away, but this one fell IN the hose. So every now and then the disc would flip up and block the hose, and the unit shut off.

What kind of protein did you have with the salad in question? I checked out the recipe and I say a blacken striploin would work well with that.

No extra protein. I've been pretty much off red meat for the last few years though the occasional steak is nice. (I know, I know). I eat a lot of vegetarian. If I was going to serve this with meat I'd probably go pork.

No, not at all. But to be fair I didn't do it for a health reason. We lived in the UK for a hot minute and I could not stand the flavor of the beef over there. Then when we came back I noticed I just didn't enjoy the meat as much and it's expensive to boot so I've pretty much stopped eating it. Occasional hamburger or steak, few times a year.

I can understand that. Top quality beef is best to me. I live in the south so it is all around me.  I do wonder are you primarily eat more chicken or more of a vegetarian type?

Texas has some fairly decent beef but it generally pales in comparison to the aged beef I used to buy when I was stationed in Omaha.

I seldom eat beef anymore but when I do it is a Texas Wagyu sirloin or hamburger from HEB. 

Nolan Ryan’s grass fed angus beef used to be pretty good but I haven’t had it in awhile.

Chicken is ok, but those birds are not treated great. I mostly eat vegetarian and I love pork. Growing up we raised our own beef and game birds and we hunted so meat was always plentiful and well taken care of. My dad hates chickens so we hardly ever had that growing up. I didn’t buy meat at a grocery until well into my adulthood. Maybe I was ruined by good fortune?

(As of 2017) The corn we eat fresh is grown on only 250,000 acres. Last year only 3 to 4 percent of the sweet corn raised in the United States came from the genetically modified sweet corn seeds Syngenta, a global agribusiness company, introduced 15 years ago. Monsanto hopes to change all that.

It's pretty funny that everybody thinks they know exactly what they're eating. Unless you see it picked from a tree, yanked from the ground or killed and served right to your plate, you don't know shit.  Just fkn eat something and get on with your day. ::)

Eat a normal at the grocery store GMO tomato. Then eat an heirloom tomato. If you can't tell the difference you need to get your tongue re-surfaced. And chicken with all the hormones and antibiotics? Even looks more like Chickenzilla than a real chicken

One tastes like God made it, one taste like man made it. Believe me I know the difference. I'll take the GOD tomato thank you very much. And as far as meat goes, you're talking to a FARM penis boy. I know and taste the difference. I was just pointing out that Ian stole my lunch in grade eight and I've never forgiven him. Geeesh mannnnn!!!!  Good! Night!!!

This is an argument often made, but I think incorrect. Corn and many other plants have been selectively bred for certain qualities. That’s quite different than inserting a rat gene into a tomato as happens with GMO.

It's not always about organic vs gmo. 

Some fruits & vegetables continue to ripen, or ripen well after being picked, some don't.  Things have to be picked before being fully ripe, as it takes time to be packed and go from the farm to the store.

Tomatoes are one of the ones that stop ripening after being picked.  Oh sure, they get red, but they are still unripe 'green' tomatoes. 

Peaches, apricots, etc are wonderful when picked ripe and eaten right off the tree.  They are so awful at the store I don't even know who would buy them.  Certain apples are fantastic fresh off the tree (such as golden and red delicious), but an entirely different set are the ones that ripen in boxes and travel better (such as fuji and honey crisp).

We should distinguish between ways our food can be genetically modified. 

Nearly all our fruits and vegetables have been genetically altered over the centuries.  Most of what we eat wasn't originally found that way in nature, it was originally intentionally changed in pre-modern times to be bigger, better tasting, longer shelf life, easier to grow and so on.  The question is was this done naturally, such as hybridization - or unnaturally in a lab somewhere, using chemicals or parts from unrelated species.

10,000 years ago there was no such thing as corn.  In Mesoamerica, a member of the grass family - with a single small kernel and tough hull - was genetically altered over what must have been generations to become the multi-kernelled maize the Spanish found there.

I'm suspicious of something being deemed 'organic'.

It's a political term - the politicians determine what can be called organic and what can't.  Usually it just means certain fertilizers and pesticides were or weren't used, which doesn't affect the taste or nutritional value.  Sometimes something gets that designation due to having 'friends' in the legislature.  It often signals it was grown somewhere other than a factory farm, and given more individual care - and thus higher quality due to that.  It can be that it was farmed closer to the store, and was thus picked closer to when it would ripen.

I once had a garbage collection company as a client.  They take the green can of yard clippings, food waste, etc, compost it, then give it away or sell it as 'organic' soil.  Except everything that goes into the green can isn't 'organic'...

Problem with soy is that it messes up hormones or something.  I never dug too deep on researching it but I try to keep it in moderation for my kids.

By the way, I think I remember Bill Gates pitching GMOs as a way to grow food in places where people are starving. Not America!

If I recall correctly, the pitch was that these modified foods would grow in places that didn't have the best soil or climate.  Does anybody else remember that?

Eh, fuck GMOs. 

Hate to break it to some of you who love those impossible burgers but... I have heard that those things are chock-full of GMO ingredients.

Soy has estrogen. Don't know how much. But M.D.s tell women with a particular gene that can trigger breast cancer to avoid soy. I know a manly man that puts soy milk in his daily cereal. No man boobs but he cries at mushy movies

Yeah. The more I eat good old fashioned pre-GMO food the weirder I get about foods. Local farmers markets are great. Often you are talking to the grower and they are proud to tell you about how they grow their food

There are requirements to be certified Organic. Yes. All our federal regulations concerning anything healthy are disappearing quickly but a lot of other states and organizations are carrying the torch because consumers are becoming more aware and demanding it

Yep on the Bill Gates thing. A worthy gesture turns into Frankenstein. Drought-tolerant, high-yield grains. Mainly wheat and rice. I read about it quite a while back so don't remember all the details. But deals are made with third world farmers to use a particular GMO strain. Then they are locked in to buying only that seed and all their products for pesticides. Guess which companies are behind this

I know many of you sneer at anything Cali for some reason. But a few years back we passed the Poultry Law and last year passed one for pigs and calves. I feel much more relaxed now grocery shopping knowing my eggs and meats are from California

Monsanto and their business model are really evil.  Something like 300,000 farmers in India have committed suicide in the last 20-25 years and many of them were broken by the business model of bt Cotton seed which cost twice as much and required them to sell their crop back at lower than market rates. 

Quite sad.

I just realized (for the first time in 23+ years) it's my anniversary of being fired from a band for criticizing Freddie Mercury's moves...

Sure, they said it was "different artistic views" or whatever they made up, but it was less than an hour after I said something like "he looks like me trying to dance" and "he makes me feel better about my moves."

I cannot dance (well, like Elaine from Seinfeld, I can).

Since the boss had Queen album credits, I guess there was an affinity to Freddy. Doh!  I wasn't trying to be an asshole. The truth hurts. I cannot fucking move.

Why Lyle ever got traded away from Cleveland to Oakland is beyond me (just at the start of the dog pound).  They should have instead focused on getting running backs that didn't fumble.

I've been quite busy. My mother is here visiting and I was not able to watch the great Twotacular live.  :'(
I did see it this am, it was great. Really great. Thank you to all who contributed and to Bart for his time and effort. I thought about having Mom watch it but realize it would have had to splain so much I would have missed too much. Plus she is easily shocked by curse words, and I think I heard one in there.  ;)
Now I shall watch it again.

There's so much protection in the operating system that it takes a person giving hackers permission/access in order for ransomware to be installed.

My night is set. First, I'm crashing @Rikki Gins Postcard Dinner. Then @PolkaDot and I, in our fabulous outfits, are meeting up with the Fashion Guys to hit all the best parties nationwide. @PB might have to wait in the Edsel if he continues to insist on white shirt and jeans. Then those still standing head over for late supper at @GravitySucks and sunrise. Then last stop, @KSM 's for make-your-own omelets.  Virtual parties are the best parties

In real life crab legs and champagne supper. Classic movies. A wake up nudge and kiss at midnight. Not too shabby, either

Mrs. Walks wanted to go the Aloha Safari Park and look at the 400 rescue animals this guy has down in Harnett County, Little Walks wanted to be left alone to play video games.   My suggestion was the Devil's Tramping Ground - which is a mysterious and haunted circle of barren ground way out in the sticks.  Satan once danced a little jig there in days gone by and since then nothing will grow there.  In order to reach it one must take Devils Tramping Ground Road.

For those who don't know, I was referring to the moment that Kofax was working on his stereo (replacing tubes or something) and realized his arm hurt which led to him ending his career.

Unfortunately, there are so many submenus and flexibility in routing the inputs and outputs (electronically) that it's this big clusterfuck.

At one time, when I first got this unit, I had a mini TV hooked up to it to read all the menus and settings on screen. I guess that's my next step...

I think I'd trade all the ass grabs that I've received lately for a good garage band/cobweb knocking rendition of Acquiesce, She's Electric or Can't Get There From Here.

I'm sorry you've been the recipient of subpar ass grabs as of late. Better luck in the new year!

Presumably, a guest hit a sequence of buttons on my sound system remote and now I cannot get anything in DTS/Dolby 5.1.

Nearly 2 hours and I can't figure it out.  Coaxial and optical digital inputs from the TV, Blu-ray, DVD and DAT aren't doing what they're supposed to do.

I'm so fucking frustrated. I used to be able to manage.  Big pharma/managed health care brain damage. Fuck.
You know what the experts say, unplug it for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Best of luck. Next time hide the remote when company comes ;)

Unfortunately, the unit holds onto its settings like chrome on a tailpipe. Bought this in 1999 and it was in storage for a few (5-6) years and it remembered all the stations and settings, name tags, etc...

Hi, all!

FYI There will be an LPTD this Saturday night Jan 4,  8 pm EST  5 pm PST.

A really good lively professional astrologer, Elisabeth Grace, will be on to talk about the huge and important astrological aspects we are experiencing right now which will likely shape some big trends in the coming year or two. These are once-in-a-lifetime aspects, we have not had anything quite like this going on, so we should see some important shifts going on as we move into 2020 and beyond.

Depending on time and interest, this may possibly be followed by our own wee little mini-predictions segment. Y'all can call in or comment in Discord with your comments. I hope you'll be able to listen live, participate, or download the podcast to listen another time.

Happy New Year, all.  :)

On the way back from Port Aransas we stopped at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge to see if we could get a sighting of some of the whooping cranes that winter there.  The whooping crane conservation effort is somewhat of a success story so far. In 1941 there were less than 20 birds in the wild.  When I moved back to Texas in 1982 there were about 70.  Now I think the number that winters here is about 500.

I got to watch 2 of them feeding for about an hour when I got tired of standing in the rain.

Sorry for the poor resolution. All I had was my iphone and they were about 200 yards away.

That’s a white pelican flying past.

We can hangout and discuss and meander anywhere we want.  All topics covered in any other thread or totally new thoughts and ideas. Like friends who run into each other and just catch up on anything and everything. Gossip, questions, experiences. Art, Science, the Paranormal, the Normal. Your day. Deep philosophy to giggling at the absurd. And being absurd ourselves. Grab your favorite beverage. Settle into a comfy chair and chat. About whatever

Any thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? Stupid idea? Waddaya guys think? I'll check back later to see if there is any interest

@Pizzapunch    Well he has turned on two of his staunchest supporters - Rose Dio and Pavel Eduard.  He claims they were sleeper agents sent by the enigmatic Michael Aquino to infiltrate Team Dietrich.  Both have been cast out and ruthlessly attacked - almost to the levels that he attacks Gunner65.    As you can see, Rose Dio took her exile well (https://www.pinterest.com/rosespages/douglas-duane-dietrich-liar-fake-fraud/?autologin=true)

Also, Peter Moon of The Montauk Project fame has taken a shine to Dietrich and has joined forces with him.  Only God and perhaps Gunner65, know why..................

She was amazing in Planet Terror, but yes I hate this mentality of "I'm famous so my opinion matters more than anyone else's".  I think it's sad that so many people blindly shape their worldview after their favorite celebrities rather than thinking for themselves.

Title: For tonight's adventures of listening to C2Cam
Post by: damon on January 04, 2020, 04:05:51 PM
Here is what tonight's topic of C2Cam show for 4 Jan 2020.


Bullying / Zodiac Killer Secrets
Date
Saturday - January 4, 2020
Host
Richard Syrett
Guests
Donald Jeffries,  Tom Voigt   

Bestselling author Donald Jeffries has turned his critical eye onto the topic of bullying to show how teachers, principals, and other school officials invariably side with the bullies in the most egregious cases, instead of protecting the victims. Jeffries joins Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss the power dynamics in this curious phenomenon, and share the stories of parents that have lost a child to bullycide, the term for children who kill themselves over bullying. Followed by Zodiac killer expert, Tom Voigt, who'll detail his experience rummaging through all of the "Zodiac boxes" collected by law enforcement over the last four-plus decades, which included police reports that have never been made public, as well as intriguing suspects Tom had never heard of, plus vintage correspondences that could very well be from the Zodiac.

From 6-10p PT, Art Bell: Somewhere in Time returns to 1/11/02 when callers responded to the question: "If you were God, what would you do differently?"

Because of that peanut butter, I have a rule...  If it tells you what type of peanut is in it, don't buy it.

Gimme Skippy or Jif!  Processed, smooth, creamy, sugared-up and easy to spread at any temperature.  And none of that stirring and refrigerating crap!

I don't think our local TJs even has the organic version with the elephant label (I DO like cartoon animals on my labels, I'll look for it).  God only knows what kind of peanuts are in it.

While I am adventurous and do mix flavors frequently, I have never thought of putting cinnamon with peanut butter. I will try it but, initially, it seems gross.

I guess that is true. 

Her Great Grand Father was not just a cop but a Chief of Police.  When she was young, I showed her a picture of him
decked out in his uniform with his two doberman's and that hard assed Kraut scowl he had.  Told her that you may not agree
with a law but if you break it, a man like this may come into your life.    Might have worked - who knows for sure?

@ShayP I tasted Thai food for the first time when I was in the Air Force.  In a restaurant in 1979 near Offutt AFB in Omaha.  Pad Thai. The flavors exploded in my mouth and it has been my favorite cuisine ever since.  This last year I started eating the curries.  I like all of the curries now too.

My favorite dish lately is a cellophane glass noodle salad call Yum Moon Sen or Yum Woon Sen.  It’s one of the few dishes that registers on the border of my tolerance of Scoville units.

The story features a part-time teacher and political activist, a pottery artist, Sandy- a Desert bigfoot, and Sandy’s companion - deeply conflicted homeless Iraq war vet. George Noory, greys, and reptilians get mentions. Here’s Richards’ correspondence with his agent about The Sky Is A Lonely Place.

I'm partial to steamed whole fish in any Asian cuisine, this one with a chili, lime, and garlic sauce is from the southern provinces.  So many restaurants in the US have cookie cutter limited menus, I've only found one place in SF that has it (the garlic sb diced much much smaller than they've done it here, and maybe not as much)





There are plenty of other excellent steamed fish dishes, with coconut for example, or curries, etc

I have really enjoyed learning how to cook Thai.  It’s really easy once you have all of the ingredients. I bought a kaffir lime tree and I have to planters full of lemon grass and one of galangal. Fresh Thai basil can be hard to find near me so I just ordered two different kinds of seeds. 

I ordered this combination from Amazon. It includes lime leaves, galangal, lemon grass and bird chilies.  I received more than I expected. Everything can be cut up and frozen and seems to work well.  Everything was really fresh when I received it. 

Hope the link works.

It really is.  One thing I like living around here is access to quite a lot of ingredients for foreign foods, incl Thai.  Not everything, and some is seasonal, but much of it.

Isan food is probably my favorite. I actually prefer mine spicier than my Thai friends.  South food isn’t bad but it can be kind of sour. 

My Thai traveling friend invites me over for lunch quite often. I enjoy watching her and her friends prepare Som Tam. They make a Thai style and a Lao style. They reach under the kitchen sink and pull out jars of fermented fish sauce and for the Lao style some type of pickled crab in a sauce that looks like it was dredged from the Mekong river.  It looks really gross as they start mixing up the ingredients but very tasty.  And about as spicy as you could ever get in Thailand. 

She invited a bunch of us over the other day and made Pho.  It was really good.  Reminded me of eating in the boat at one of the floating markets.  We have a really good Asian market up near Hobby airport that has a good selection of most of the fresh vegetables you need (except Thai Basil - I keep asking them to carry it).

I love the Thai Iced Tea, but I don’t like it with the milk or cream they put in.  Straight up and sweet. 

I have been making my own at home lately.  Your tastes may vary, but this is how I like mine. 

1 cup of loose Thai tea. Any good ceylon tea should work but I buy a brand that has the dye in it to give it the customary orange color.  I have tried several different recipes and this is what I have settled on for my liking. 

1 cup loose Thai tea
5 star anise pods
5 cardamon seed pods
5 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla
1 gallon water

I mash up the spices with a mortar and pestle but don’t actually grind them.

Throw everything in a pot and boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool on the stove. 

Add sugar to taste. Start with one cup per gallon and add more if necessary.

Strain. I use a fine stainless steel strainer, but you might use a cheese cloth of sediment grosses you out. 

If you don’t have a pot that holds one gallon you can use less water, boil it a few minutes longer and add it later in the pitcher. 

Chill and serve over ice.  I have actually never tried it warm, but it would be like a chai tea.  Adding fresh lime juice to the glass makes an excellent addition. 

Traditionally you would fill the glass half full with tea and then add milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk or cream but milk doesn’t agree with me so you would have to find a recipe that includes that. 

I don’t think the lime juice would go good with milk.

They decided to call it almond milk and cashew milk after “nut juice” flopped in the focus group. 

I generally don’t care for creamy stuff.  Just don’t like the texture more than a dislike of the taste.  Even ice cream is something I just have once in awhile. Mainly to get a brain freeze.  Brain freezes are a desirable altered state IMHO.

You must be getting the "white people" menu.  ;) There's always another menu...

I just ask for a dish I want even if it’s not on the menu.  About half the time they will make it.  Yum Moon Sen is a good example.  It’s not always on the menu but they usually have all of the ingredients. 

I get a lot of second looks when I order “Isan spicy”. Then when I ask for the spice tray they ask me if I have ever been to Thailand.  I had a great experience at a Thai restaurant in DC in November.  I was going to see Reina Del Cid play in a small venue on H Street.  I got there about 3 hours early and found a Thai restaurant right across the street.  The family that owned it was from Chiang Mai. 

I took my time eating and asked them if I could sit until the doors opened.  They asked to see my pictures from my trip and I started with the ones from the Doi Suthep temple in Chiang Mai.  They asked me if I visited some temples they hadn’t been to.  I showed them all of my temple pictures and they seemed to enjoy them.  It had been years since they had been back, and most of them left when they were young kids.  The youngest girl had no conscious memory of Thailand and she was in awe of some of my pictures.

They gave me an order of yellow mango and sticky rice on the house and asked me to stop by any time. 

I generally don’t engage people in public but these people were really friendly and put me at ease. 

I’m going back to Bethesda in February for 2 more weeks of treatments. Hopefully the weather is mild enough for me to get back down there for lunch or dinner.  It’s about a 1.4 mile walk from the metro stop. 

I took this picture of my Panang curry

@ShayP if you like the potatoes that some places put in vindaloo you might want to try the Massaman curry.  It’s not my favorite but it’s good.  Red curry may be the closest to vindaloo but it is still completely different. 

Most Thai curries use coconut milk.  This makes them a lot different than India curry.  And the Thai food is almost always cooked to order so it will have a different texture than the Indian curries.  Almost all of the Indian curries I have had seemed more like a stew that has been cooked for a long time.  The meat is tender but loses a lot of flavor.  That could be the fact that Indian curries rely on marinated meat.  The spices just imbibe the protein.  I don’t cook Indian so that last part is a guess. 

I seldom get beef in Thai dishes, especially curry.  The times I have tried it I didn’t like the texture.  I usually get pork or seafood, and once in awhile chicken. 

Panang curry is my favorite. Some places use peanut butter in it and it has a sweet flavor.

Most Thai curries use coconut milk.  This makes them a lot different than India curry.  And the Thai food is almost always cooked to order so it will have a different texture than the Indian curries.  Almost all of the Indian curries I have had seemed more like a stew that has been cooked for a long time.  The meat is tender but loses a lot of flavor.  The it could be the fact that Indian curries rely on marinated meat.  The spices just imbibe the protein.  I don’t cook Indian so that last part is a guess. 

I seldom get beef in Thai dishes, especially curry.  The times I have tried it I didn’t like the texture.  I usually get pork or seafood, and once in awhile chicken. 

Panang curry is my favorite. Some places use peanut butter in it and it has a sweet flavor.

GS, I am so enjoying the Thai food posts .... I love Thai cuisine! There is a family run Thai restaurant not far from where we live in Baton Rouge and if we couldn’t get their food any other way, my hubby and I would walk to them from our nearby neighborhood. Their food is that good!

...  I've been craving Chicken Vindaloo.

Vindaloo is a fantastic dish.  I the lamb and the chicken.

Nearly all Indian places around here are Northern style - good, but I really like South Indian dishes.  More flavorful, more spices (spicy doesn't necessary have to mean hot, Thai lemon grass is a spice), more vegetarian choices, more wheat breads and less rice, it seems like a lot more variety 

There was a place in Berkeley that is all vegetarian, one of the first Indian places around here.  For years I never tried it because, you know, vegetarian.  I finally went one time on a search for the best dosas in the area.  Unbelievably good food, it's my go-to now.

Yeah, coconut milk is the base for Thai curries.  The curry is diluted a bit, more subtle - the coconut milk adds sweetness, and allows for one or more of the other tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, hot, savory)  to be added to the dish, whereas Indian curry is just the curry and maybe hot - overwhelming anything else

To add flavors to an Indian curry meal, one has to add separate dishes, plus bread, raita...

I've had vindaloo in various fashions.  I'll eat nearly anything. I'm going to look up the curries you mentioned.  I too have had Indian curries that were, to me, just a pasty bland stew of meat.  There are exceptions though.  I guess it's like the Chinese restaurants that serve the "Americanized" version of a dish.  Maybe?

I've had some exceptional dishes here though. There are 2 fantastic Indian restaurants here.  My favorite of all time closed several years ago and boy do I miss it.  Always a great experience.  But alas, the owners sold it and the new ownership did more of an Indo-Pak thing.  The food was Indian per se, but like the bland stuff we have experienced.

The vindaloo I had last time was so good that I was in a state of euphoria.  I am not exaggerating either.  When I ordered I was asked if I wanted "authentic" vindaloo.  I said "Yeah!"  So apparently they had to dumb down the menu a bit since some people are afraid of heat, spice, etc.  Nonetheless it was one of the most delicious meals I ever had.  The heat was as much as I could handle and the overall flavor made me want more, but it wasn't humanly possible to do so.  It was intense due to the heat and spice.  In a good way though.  I could taste every ingredient and all the while it felt like I was under a heat lamp...sweating slightly.  I felt energized after the meal!

Oh!  You referenced regions.  North and south.  I think my dish was from the Goan region which is south and on the west coast.  I too favor the southern style, but like them both.

This holiday and April 4th always bring back a disturbing memory for me. 

I was 13 when MLK Jr was assassinated. I was visiting my father who owned 7 acres in the country about 40 miles west of Chicago.  Out in the middle of nowhere. The house was set back from the road about 400 yards. 

Within an hour of the news that MLK had been assassinated my father was taking out rifles and ammunition and placing them near windows and doors around the house. 

Then he took me out back behind the horse barn and taught me how to shoot an old Springfield 30.06 rifle. He explained that there was a VISTA job corps camp down the road and that there was sure to be a riot with blacks marching down our road to kill any white people they saw. 

This was very foreign to me.  He told me that if he had to start shooting people once they came on to our property I was to do the same.  For 2 or 3 days we “stood guard” watching day and night for any commotion on our country road. I slept on the kitchen floor near the back door.  I am glad no one walked down our road. 

I think this was much more than being prepared.  This appeared to me to be some real paranoia.  I never considered my father to be a racist. He certainly had prejudices like many whites did in the 60’s but I never saw him go out of his way to act like a racist.

This memory still troubles me to this day.  He’s dead so I can’t discuss it with him.  I’m glad I never had to shoot anyone.

Wow. @GravitySucks  I pictured that scenario in my mind.  To have your father instruct you to shoot people.  I can see why it still troubles you.  Honestly, it would me as well.  That situation is something one can't forget; especially at the age you were then.

This was a little before my time, but do keep in mind some context:  the Vietnam and other riots, Malcolm X, Panthers, et. al., cities burning... No one knew what was coming next.  It's a lot easier to look back and judge than it is to maneuver in the moment.  Long afterward there is plenty more information, and time to pick through it.

If you didn't see other examples of your father as a racist, hang onto that.


Not excusing anything, it must have been terrifying for a kid...

No they wouldn’t have.  What his actual instructions were amounted to if they stayed on the road to let them keep walking but if they turned towards the house and crossed the ditch he was going to start shooting and I was only supposed to shoot any others that came towards us. . 

I wasn’t naive to the problems in the country.  I lived much closer to the city on the west side. We had just experienced the riots at the Democratic convention the summer before.   A few months later I was mugged in broad daylight walking down a main thoroughfare after having to take my HS placement exams at a school that was 90% minority.  Luckily for me a cop car came around the corner just as things started to get serious.

The next time I handled a gun was when I moved to Texas when I was 16.  We needed meat and my father told me to take a rifle and go shoot a deer.  He told me to just shoot like be taught me.  I had a buck in my sights several times for about 15 minutes before I could pull the trigger.  And then I sat there and cried before I could go over and tag the deer.  As upset as I got when I killed that first deer, I can only imagine how messed up I would have been if I killed someone at 13.

Nothing turns on "Alpha Male Mode" like protecting kids.

I've had a lot of good Samaritan situations come up and I'd not be afraid to say/do something.  When someone was looking in my back window when I had little kids in the house, I visualized killing him.  I was pulled off by neighbors...

I've wondered how I'd react if I were mugged.  First off, I believe someone out looking for trouble gets what they get if they find it.  Fuck 'em.

My first concern would be my own safety.  The mugger's safety would be of zero concern.  If I wasn't able to get away, but then got the upper hand, well, I'd make sure they stayed down.

I hated hunting and fishing.  I think I killed one dove and one fish before refusing to go again.

My dad would bring home fish and game birds.  He would take a week-long hunting trip with his buddies once a year, but never brought one home.  I thought he was the world's worst hunter until I realized he went for the backpacking (before there was backpacking) and didn't want to kill any deer either.

Full disclosure, I did catch some salmon once when I first moved to SF.  I wanted to try ocean fishing.  I was so seasick that day, I caught my limit right away - before the boat even stopped - and no one else ever caught any.  I was stuck out there throwing up for hours.  Lesson learned

I was 5’3 and about 120 pounds in 8th grade.  I could take care of myself in the neighborhood because I would go batshit brawler once I got tired of being picked on, but being faced with a kid that was probably 16 with 3 adult males right behind him egging him on was really intimidating.  For some unknown reason I had a large washer in my pocket. When the kid said I wasn’t leaving until I gave him my money I pulled it out and threw it as hard as I could nailing him square in the forehead. And then I started running.

I was walking from the high school to the law office where my mother worked.  The first cop out of the car was a black cop and all I saw was another black guy yelling at me so I kept running and didn’t stop until I got to the law office.  The cop was right behind me.  Of course my mother yelled “GravitySucks! What did you do this time?”   I was totally out of breath so the cop had to explain to her that I wasn’t in trouble. 

I hope that kid needed stitches. I know that washer drew blood.  And I hope he got a scar.

If it happened today in Chicago I probably would be charged assault.

Why was the lard-ass cop chasing you?  Since we're not hearing about a trial, it must not have been to get your information so you could testify

All summer there's been a growing hobo camp right where the I-80 University Avenue offramp is in Berkeley.  More tents every day, huge piles of trash and filth, grimy wasted losers stumbling about.

A couple weeks ago there was a huge column of thick black smoke I could see miles away, and as I drove in that direction it ended being there.  Firetrucks had the exit blocked off that day while who knows what burned.

Today on the way to Berkeley the cops had the offramp blocked off again.  On the way home, they had the city streets leading to the freeway blocked off.  I hope they cleared that shithole - with prejudice.  And scrapped down about 5 feet.

Nothing in the news yet that I've found.  Maybe City Hall didn't think that was the first thing people should see on the way in.  Who knows, maybe the noble ''homeless'' aren't above the law after all, or at least some of them.

I really don’t know why he chased me unless it was to get my side of the story.  They didn’t catch the others. They put me in the back of the squad car and drove me around trying to see if I recognized anyone.  I was worried that if I did recognize someone that my mother would be in danger.  She had to go to her job in that neighborhood every day.  I half heartedly gazed at people and just told the cops that I didn’t really get a good look at anyone.  Which was the truth.  I couldn’t describe what they were wearing and I didn’t know at the time that I have face blindness so I probably couldn’t pick anyone out in a lineup unless they had a gash in their forehead.

This holiday and April 4th always bring back a disturbing memory for me. 

I was 13 when MLK Jr was assassinated. I was visiting my father who owned 7 acres in the country about 40 miles west of Chicago.  Out in the middle of nowhere. The house was set back from the road about 400 yards. 

Within an hour of the news that MLK had been assassinated my father was taking out rifles and ammunition and placing them near windows and doors around the house. 

Then he took me out back behind the horse barn and taught me how to shoot an old Springfield 30.06 rifle. He explained that there was a VISTA job corps camp down the road and that there was sure to be a riot with blacks marching down our road to kill any white people they saw. 

This was very foreign to me.  He told me that if he had to start shooting people once they came on to our property I was to do the same.  For 2 or 3 days we “stood guard” watching day and night for any commotion on our country road. I slept on the kitchen floor near the back door.  I am glad no one walked down our road. 

I think this was much more than being prepared.  This appeared to me to be some real paranoia.  I never considered my father to be a racist. He certainly had prejudices like many whites did in the 60’s but I never saw him go out of his way to act like a racist.

This memory still troubles me to this day.  He’s dead so I can’t discuss it with him.  I’m glad I never had to shoot anyone.
@GravitySucks wow what a memory for you. I need some time to think this over...

On the way out the door Christmas Day I started coughing, out of nowhere.  All month I had tried to avoid sick people, anyone coughing, sneezing, eyes running, gasping for air, any of it.  I coughed all night long for 3 weeks, at which time it morphed into a nasty sore throat.  For about 10 days, it was so difficult and painful to swallow I thought I might pass out.  That went away for about a day, then turned into a lower respiratory cough, which I've never had before.  This is easily the sickest I've ever been (I admit, I've been lucky).

Fucking fuck, I wish people would stay the fuck home if they're sick.  I really wish I knew who gave me this - I suspect a certain take-out place, but who knows.  No Chinese food for me until this newest Asian flu from China burns itself out, screw that.

Oh man I hear ya! Is there anything worse than feeling that low in the lung cough slowly set in?

During my months long trip to Asia, China was relatively clean, although I didn't go to the poorest areas (off limits).  The far West where the Uiger Muslims are was fithly, as was Tibet.  My understanding is the flus come from the South part of the country where it's historically poorer and typically more humid.  As dirty as Tibet was, apparently it's too cold much of the year for viruses to get much of a foothold.

Nepal was a cleaner version of India, still had cows walking around, but it's also colder there, and smaller.  Easier to contain.  And I only went to the capital, I think the rest of the country is very poor and lacks sanitation.

India was the worst.  Unbelievable really.  Children in the middle of the street picking seeds out of cow shit to take home for dinner, everything in the country - every post, fence, building, telephone pole, everything - was yellow from the waist down. 

Thailand was the cleanest.  Very clean.  The only place I'd eat the street food (although I did eat the street food in Xingjiang - that's all there was much of the time, and I stayed with uncut fruit and lamb shish-kabob cooked over the fire while I watched).

I read a little about the early explorers.  Europe was filthy a rat infested mess at the time too, but at least they were used to the diseases at home - how they didn't all immediately die when they went to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East I'll never know.

And of course they brought smallpox, etc, to the Americas and killed probably 90% of the indigenous population here.

Thanks for sharing. I looked 'Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.' I enjoy history. The world and I have changed since the days of listening to Art Bell on the radio. I will have something to good to listen to as I do 'my job' in my home.

@Walks_At_Night I hope someone in your family is a ‘family tree’ nerd. I just got back from visiting the old country. This posting should be recorded in your family tree. Your dad had good artist talent. Great story and NOT BORING.
I am lucky to have my dad’s WW 2 training and records information. My dad was a Flight Engineer in a B 24 D.

@FISH My father was a gunner aboard a B-24. A few years before he died, I went with him to the 8th Air Force Museum in Savannah. They have an exhibit that supposed to show in  a limited way what flying a mission was like.  He said it was somewhat realistic.

What a great experience for your father and you. Good for you @juan  :)

Flying in a B 24 was somewhat scary, but amazing. My father passed over before I experienced a ride in a B 24. You climb up into a hole under the B 24. You are tied to a wall. No real seats for passengers.  No toilet. No glass in the windows. Gaps in the flooring. You hear the engines, smell the fuels and feel the air. Of course I had my brother take a photo of me acting like a "gunner" as we were flying over open land in New Jersey.
My Pop was a humble good man. I never knew how brave he was until I took a ride in the Liberator.
Great tribute to Staff Sgt. John T. Dempsey posted by his son. I do not know these people. I am thinking about doing something like this for my dad.

I took a photo of my Dad to the airfield. I meet two WW2 Service Veterans that were assigned to the B 24. I was so grateful to have the honor to meet and greet these two old timers. I showed them the photo of my Dad. No luck! I had my photo taken with these Veterans.
I do not want to dox myself in EG. In this photo you can not see my face of fear, as I was going to walk the catwalk. Yeah, I am trying to hold onto a large handbag as I take a photo before I walk the walk.  ::)

@GravitySucks hold up. One more day before we reach "0202 2020" ;)
Today is Imbolc or Imbolg, also called Brigid's Day.
It is a Gaelic traditional festival marking the beginning of spring. It is held on 1 February, or about halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.

The Romans were turned back and never conquered the Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Wales, and Cornwall on the British Isles, and Brittany in what's now Western France.  Their traditions were never influenced by the Romans, they jumped straight to Christianity.

This holiday has ancient Celtic roots.  Brigid was a goddess in Celtic Ireland, and her feast day was Feb 1 - which marked the beginning of Spring.  She seems to be the Irish version of the Dawn Goddess, associated with spring, fertility, healing, and so on.  Likely not a coincidence the early Christians chose to name the early Spring holiday for their St Brigid.

Apart from being the second patron saint of Ireland, St. Brigid is also the patron saint for babies; blacksmiths; boatmen; cattle; chicken farmers; children whose parents are not married; dairymaids; dairy workers; fugitives; infants; mariners; midwives; milk maids; poultry raisers; printing presses; sailors and scholars.

Dressed entirely in black.
Middle of nowhere on a blackened dirt road.
Drinking.

Selling the car is a goof idea. Not sure what their plans are with that or if whether or not it has even been discussed at this point.  I'm the only one saying she doesn't need to lawyer up unless the lady dies. However even with all her ducks in a row and the police telling her it seems like a suicide she has an attorney already just to be, safe. I think it's unnecessary at this point but I'm alone in that.

… Dressed entirely in black.

Drinking....

And walking in the road.

About that, around here people staring into their phones just walk out into intersections without even looking.  They walk out into the street from in-between parked cars to get to the driver's door.  They open the door from a parked position and step out into traffic without looking. 

They've been told pedestrians always have the right of way, and act accordingly.  And immediate and continual interest in their phone is paramount.  Forget what mom said about looking both ways.

If I hit one of these nitwits one of these days - and I'm really diligent about not doing so - I'd like to think I wouldn't feel guilty in the slightest.  Sad that it happened, upset - but guilt?  No

I'm so sorry to hear this. Whether it was a suicide attempt or not, your MIL is going to suffer over it and she doesn't deserve to. The son of a co-worker of mine hit a person who jumped off of an overpass right into his car. The peson was killed, and her son had a very very hard time over it.

However even with all her ducks in a row and the police telling her it seems like a suicide she has an attorney already just to be, safe. I think it's unnecessary at this point but I'm alone in that.

I would have that lawyer informed. It can't hurt.

...and never rely on insurance company representation.

Do consider the woman's possible assets for a lawsuit.  It is a valid thing to think about, especially regarding an illegal act.  Public consumption, public drunkedness, walking in a roadway, suicide is even illegal in places... Whatever charges you can get the cops to officially note/charge is important.  This person's estate/life insurance/homeowners insurance, etc. should  have a claim filed with proceeds going to making your MIL whole again.  Car, therapy, time, effort, gas to therapy sessions, etc...

Protection of MIL starts with the little things (i.e. a citation for jaywalking) for the legal protection MIL needs from a great niece of the suicider who wants to sue MIL.

Seriously.  Trust me, in some states this is a lifesaver...  True in car accidents too.  Get the cops to give the other party a ticket for anything, it's gold.

PS, never just think the person is indigent.  Insanity isn't just for the poor.  Do a due diligence asset search.

While driving home last night down a dark country road my mother n law hit someone dressed all in black that appeared out of nowhere. No street lights no nothing. A liquor bottle smashed against the windshield and the lady she collided with is in critical condition and may not survive.

Dressed entirely in black.
Middle of nowhere on a blackened dirt road.
Drinking.

Cops are leaning toward suicide at this point but my MIL whom I do like very much is beside herself with guilt and still hasn't slept. No sign of her speeding or any wrongdoing but still..  traumatic.

 Also sorry to read this. Sounds horrible for your MIL and the woman in black. No matter how old you are, those GD “life lessons” never stop. Prayers for all.

OK, Sean. How many people have you actually run over at this point?

I was a licensed property and casualty insurance agent for a decade (a great job when you're busy doing other things), I also managed an outside sales staff and in-field staff who drove on the company's dime (boring classes were mandatory).

My kids have been taught when to swerve and when not to.  Yes, there's a time when hitting a person is your best option. My family had an incident, in fact.  The person ended up biting the police officer after my kid missed hitting her. 

Pro-tip...

If you are driving your car and find yourself in the middle of a riot and you fear for your life, the first thing you should do is turn off your traction control   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] .  If one wheel gets stuck on a body, traction control will prevent the other wheel from spinning freely, possibly keeping you from getting away and saving your life. Turn it off and you will get out of a jam.

I've never sniffed Billy- but he looks like he would smell expensive.

To the right is GolfMart and to the far left, upstairs window has a purple neon sign. It was hardcore dress code (women had to be dressed to the 9s, especially). Very 80s-styled but lasted into the 2010s, at least.

@anniem Annie I'm not sure what you're referring to..   "pretty' guitar?  I don't think I have any pretty  guitars.. ???


Pictured below is baby Garth. We had him for ten days and had to give him back to the breeder as he had a problem heart and would be on medication for all his life. We got him the same week we picked up Vera back in 2013. We had just lost our dog/family member King Henry who was 11 and having a dog on meds after what we had been through seemed overwhelming at the time. We still feel bad about taking him back..  Garth was/IS a Great white Pyrenees - Bernese Mountain dog cross. He would have been even bigger than Vera and his markings were beautiful. I will also include a baby Vera picture so I can start the weekend off on an adorable note.

Wonderful photos! So sorry you had to take Garth back, but I can understand it. Before we got Boodles we had a cat who required meds and it does seem overwhelming to manage. Boodie was fine for months before we found she had genetically shallow groves under her patellas, causing dislocations. Plus it was fixed with surgery, not the same as a cardiac issue requiring meds.

OMG could she BE anymore adorable? LOL  :)  Pups like Boodie are lucky to be born in certain countries where health conditions can be dealt with and taken care of by deserving "Clients"/Us.

Once in awhile we drive by the breeders house where we got Garth just to catch a glimpse of him running around and all happy as if to say to us "your loss, assholes" He's a giant wonderful Muppet looking beast.  :)  Glad the breeder kept him and yeah it is our loss.

PS Vera Hates! her vet and we actually have to drug her now in order to take her in for checkups. It was a shitty experience having to wrestle a very uncooperative usually friendly 145lb beast into a position where the vet could do her thing.  :-\

Yup. She had an odd thing where if there was a noise to the left of us, she would look to the right. Before we fixed her knees we had that checked out because really, if the hearing problem was due to a deadly brain thing why put her through ortho surgery?  The final was said to be a virus in her auditory system because the MRI and CT scans showed nothing. Her back issue was misdiagnosed, but all better now after another CT scan and meds. She isn't on meds now, she is just a regular puppeh who likes feather pillows.

No telling how it would have gone. Nice the he is happy though. Glad you can see that!

Sorry to hear that. Boodie does exceptionally well at the vet. She's a tail wagger, seems to like the staff. We just had her teeth cleaned, and it was so much fun when we picked her up and they brought her to us, so happy and tail wagging madly.

I really wish that people would put some thought into the way they throw the words love, and hate around in such petty ways. I don't really "love" a thick well constructed meat monster pizza but I do take great enjoyment in devouring one every so often just like I do not actually "hate" millennials, I just seem to feel better when they're not around.

When you tell someone you hate them it should really cut them to the bone but now hate doesn't sound any worse than telling someone they annoy you. I can honestly say that I Hate justin trudeau.

How are you, and where are you?

I’m still in Silverthorne.  We have this place rented until Thursday but we plan on checking out Wednesday to get on the road before a snowstorm expected on Thursday.  Went to a grocery store today and it was almost picked clean of meat.  All I wanted was some salmon to make some of my favorite Thai soup.  I’ve been cooking mostly Thai food since we got here a week ago.  Ate Panang curry chicken yesterday with eggplant and snap peas.  Turned out really good. For lunch today I made Tom Yum soup with an obscene amount of various gourmet mushrooms. 

I still have some leftover spaghetti sauce I made with hot Italian sausage.  It was really good too. 

I bought some of those tupperware bowls/lids at the store. I’ll have several meals prepared for the trip back home in case we get stranded somewhere without a decent restaurant. I am only planning for a two day trip back home. Reserved a room in Amarillo for Wednesday night and should make it home by about 9pm Thursday night. 

As long as I can still find 3-4 gas stations open along the way I should be fine.

I made it back home safe. If the crowded roads in Ft Worth and Houston are any sign, not many people have started sheltering in place at least in Texas. 

I spent 5 days driving for 4 days skiing. I was supposed to ski 24-25 days total.  Didn’t go according to the @GravitySucks vacation plan, but getting home safe puts a nice bookend on the trip.

"I'm guessing that I'm not going to get that little chunk of my life back after making it all the way through"
It is gone forever - flushed down the shit pipe of time.  Never to return

"She says people want to meet her[sic] in "real life" ?"
Her pool is full of ick and her roof leaks like a sieve. I am sure she could find lots of projects for her gentleman callers

"Who is she?"
Just a lady looking to move out of her Mom's house

"She's, like, a thing?"
Yes. She even used to send Senda cash - until she let slip where she worked and he called their main HQ looking for her when she cut that spigot off

Poor Man's Steak he'd call it.

Christ was crucified on Wednesday, before Passover, and taken down and buried before sunset. And Christ rose from grave 3 Days & 3 Nights later before the sun set on Saturday, on the Sabbath, the 7th day of the week.

I'm sure all our lives are looking a little different lately. Mine is being filled with "on-line learning" for the kid to finish out the school year. Yay! So much fun for everyone!!! ::) I was trying to explain to the Husband that our kid is very goal oriented, ie he doesn't want to read all the directions for a task, as soon as he thinks he has figured out what the end game is he stops reading and moves to check the task off. I'm struggling a bit getting him to slow down and realize sometimes it's the process that's important and also that he might miss key info if he assumes every direction follows the same pattern. Husband says "Tell him the Van Halen/M&M story, but change the band name to AC/DC so he knows who you're talking about."  ??? Me: "WTF are you talking about?"

TL;DR
1. My kid has no idea who Van Halen is
2. Read the fucking contract

I thought that's how every guy operated.  Bonus points for not reading the directions at all.

Ah, the legendary M&M story.  Somehow I thought it was Aerosmith..

I agree with the sentiment but they got some very basic facts wrong. “When the fear and danger subsided” is way off base.  They cowered in fear of their lives for many days.  These apostles that had walked the earth with Jesus, heard him teach, saw him perform miracles, and even saw him resurrected and ascend into heaven refused to leave their quarters to preach the good news. 

It wasn’t until the day of Pentecoast when the bible says God poured out his Holy Spirit and the apostles were transformed from people in fear of their lives to some of the greatest evangelists in the history of the world.  11 of the 12 would go on to be tortured and killed for refusing to renounce their faith. Peter, who denied Christ prior to his death, chose to be crucified upside down because he said he wasn’t worthy. 

The fact that these apostles went throughout the middle east and Europe to preach the gospel and convert millions to Christianity and then submit themselves to torture and death for their beliefs is the number one reason that I believe in the resurrection.

Many people choose to go to their death based on their beliefs but almost every one of them believe those beliefs to be true.  Can you name someone that willingly goes to their death for a lie? I can’t think of many people that would choose to be tortured and murdered for what they knew was a lie. 

Happy Easter

I don’t doubt Thomas went to India.

Heh, I saw what you did there. 

I've wondered if Christians believed he traveled that far, although there were well established trade routes between the Mediterranean, Arabia, and India at the time so he certainly could have.  Marco Polo claims to have seen the place where he died, so if it's a myth it goes back at least that far.

All right there HarshBart, take a step back. You can’t even keep a Gardner I wouldn’t expect you to be able to keep a child alive. Also, you may need to have the second part of the birds and the bees talk- there’s no turds involved.

Middle-age milk-toast little man.

"Milk toast: Breakfast food consisting of toasted bread in warm milk.
Milk toast is a breakfast dish consisting of toasted bread in warm milk, typically with sugar and butter. Salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, cocoa, raisins and other ingredients may be added. In the New England region of the United States, milk toast refers to toast that has been dipped in a milk-based white sauce. Milk toast was a popular food throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially for young children and for the convalescent, for whom the dish was thought to be soothing and easy to digest. Although not as popular in the 2000s, milk toast is still considered a comfort food.

I love that!  In fact, it's giving me an idea...  Next time I see a free ironing board, I'll grab it!

Currently, I use piano bench seats.  I've got a few different ones and I line the big picture window with them.  I think the ironing board gives them the stalking height as well. 😁😁😁

Just a few shy meadowland residents.  I was thrilled to see them, especially the whipsnake (which is a climber) - I'd only seen one ever before.

The ridge between my town and the next one over has a fire trail running along it's length (and miles of watershed land beyond that).  It's city owned land, but just open space.  I see very few people up there, so plenty of wildlife 

Here's another one from awhile back, at dusk

If she (the TT singer) were such a feminist, why does their poster model (could be her) have shaved pits and a bald cooch? 🙄🙄🙄

If any of you guys had a subscription to Midnight in the Desert, then cancelled it, check your accounts. I’ve seen a couple of people say they were still charged after they cancelled.

Kind of curious why OzBoi is off MITD's banner.  Could it be that "Mars is round" struck a nerve with his flat-earther poppycock?

Was he a minor partner and got bought out?

Maybe Keith's done with the help and Tim is going to do all the production and have someone else host... or...

Heather wore him down on a six-hour telephone call where she recorded him jerking off to her impersonation of Art Bell. 

Podcasting is a dirty business.🙄

I was going to say dark matter used to have Tim Ozmans flat earthers show on their “schedule” but it seems that has been updated as of 4/22. You can ignore the Live MitD as there hasnt been one for about two weeks.

Speaking of centipedes, I saw this one on my bike ride yesterday.  About 5 inches long, with long pinchers at the end, it came out of the grass and weeds on the side of the trail when I stopped to look at something else.

Every other centipede I've seen was tiny, less than 1 inch - I had no idea we had anything like this around here.

@PB 2009 Edgar, in a little shithole town called Vanderhoof. He was a an apex predator python - very docile but could definitely do some damage. that guy had all kinds of reptiles and medicine ball sized Turtles in his huge basement. It was like Jurassic World down there and illegal as hell but the conditions were tropical and everybody seemed happy. I was there to buy his (4 ft at the time) female ball python, Betty. Hard to get her to pose but she's about 5 ft now and seems to be holding.

There is a reptile store in Berkeley that has all sorts of snakes, lizards, turtles, etc.  I used to take my kids to the zoo all the time, but sometimes if they wanted to go and I didn't want to drive to SF or Oakland sometimes we'd go there instead.  Fortunately we never came home with any..

My Mom had an iguana she let roam the house for awhile too- she thought it was male and my brother named it Hank. Hank laid eggs at some point.  ::) Hank was mean - she’d chase the dogs off their food so she could eat it and beat the shit out of the dogs with her tail if they came close.

It must not have been that long then, it sure seemed plenty big.  Most of it's length was tail.  It would sit on most of the back of the sofa by their front window and it's tail would hang down to the floor.  It mostly just slept.  He named it Rupert, after the Mariner's rookie who was next in line to be the next Willie Mays..  He kept building bigger and bigger cages, until he finally couldn't build one big enough for it.  His mom made him get rid of it.

Not sure why but she seems to go all out and pee everywhere in the two weeks before the snow comes so these tiny crop circles are common every spring. 38 quick fixes - in three weeks all will be good and she's already retrained to stick to her allotted spots for her business.

Randall Jacobs
https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/azcentral/obituary.aspx?n=randall-jacobs&pid=196161481

Phoenix - Randall Jacobs of Phoenix died at age 65, having lived a life that would have sent a lesser man to his grave decades earlier. His friends called him RJ, but to his family he was Uncle Bunky, a.k.a. The Bunkster. He told his last joke, which cannot be printed here, on May 4th, 2020.

Uncle Bunky burned the candle, and whatever else was handy, at both ends. He spoke in a gravelly patois of wisecracks, mangled metaphors, and inspired profanity that reflected the Arizona dive bars, Colorado ski slopes, and various dodgy establishments where he spent his days and nights. He was a living, breathing "hang loose" sign, a swaggering hybrid of Zoni desert rat, SoCal hobo, and Telluride ski bum.

A prolific purveyor of Bunky-isms such as "Save it, clown!" (or "Zeebo" if he was in a mood), he would mercilessly tease his "goombatz" nephews with nicknames such as "mud flap" and "style master." Just days after his beloved cat Kitters passed away, he too succumbed to "The Great Grawdoo", leaving behind a vapor trail of memories and a piece of sage advice lingering in his loved ones' ears: "Do what Bunky say. Not what Bunky do."

For all his chaotic energy and hysterical charm, he had a gentle soul. A night out with Bunky could result in a court summons or a world-class hangover, but his friends and family would drop whatever they were doing to make a trip out to see him. His impish smile and irreverent sense of humor were enough to quell whatever sensibilities he offended. He didn't mean any harm; that was just Bunky being Bunky.

When the end drew near, he left us with a final Bunkyism: "I'm ready for the dirt nap, but you can't leave the party if you can't find the door."

He found the door, but the party will never be the same without him.

In lieu of flowers, please pay someone's open bar tab, smoke a bowl, and fearlessly carve out some fresh lines through the trees on the gnarliest side of the mountain.

Dying at 65 with the face that looked 95...  That was decades early.

Last night, listening to George Noory was cringe-worthy. He had an author on who was talking about a book they put out a year ago about a big financial crash. The guy's co-author had died...  About, I don't know, half hour into the interview, George started calling the guy by his dead co-author's name. Not just once, not just twice, not just three times... The guy even said how he died and George came back a couple times after that asking how he died.

Yikes.

I liked the concept of having that author on as a guest, although he was definitely a Kool-Aid drinker and had political hatred for the president while not implicating those were genuinely responsible for a lot of the issues with China...

@sean92008  Did you also hear him give that little tribute to a fan that just passed away? He closed with, "Be well Tony. Be well." Ummm...yeah.  Tony's dead. He's not well.

I went to a local sub shop to pick up a sandwich. Because of the Wuhan, the dining room is not open. Sitting at a table were two guys passing a joint.
1.  Smoking marijuana is still illegal here.
2.  Smoking anything in a restaurant is illegal here.
3.  They weren’t practicing social distancing.

There’s a complete breakdown of law and order.

Just imagine, if you were a white mother of four at a park, they could arrest you and expose you to all sorts of malcontents in close proximity in the booking and intake areas of the jail.  In the same state, releasing convicted sexual criminals because of their potential exposure in a secured facility.  Meanwhile, when they arrest somebody for looting or rioting, law enforcement is not adding on those same rules the beach-going mother would face in the charges.  You know, like during a high-speed chase when they charge everything that happened along the way, running red lights, unsafe turns, whatever. Cops always tack on everything applicable except now.  By the way, who has been leaving pallets of bricks out?

Anybody with half a mind which see something is going on that's not right. It's definitely left...  Even ethical analysts on the left are acknowledging this is a problem.

Sad.

I hope evolution takes a leap forward soon.  Allowing those unable to properly take care of themselves, those lacking the smarts, to be taken out of the gene pool... Finally.

What Fake News has failed to point out over the decades is these thug groups are an integral part of the ''Progressive'' Democrat (Party First!) Party.  Even when they've committed some atrocity that gets them arrested at one of their riots (I know, hard to do), the politicians make sure they are ultimately released with no charges (while insisting the riots were ''mostly'' peaceful).  ''Mainstream Media'' ensures that message is amplified - despite what we saw with our own eyes on camera, and the charred mess at the location afterward.

Fake News has also failed to inform the country these America haters are created with our tax money by our universities (AOC is but one recent shinning example on the national stage).  It's time to end the fake study courses created to teach race, gender, and America hate, and fire hard left professors.  Why should we fund those plotting our destruction?  Let's start with a cut-off of federal and state funds - including student loan funding - to the universities that retain them, although in the first round I'm sure they can find a few Obama judges to explain why it's ''unconstitutional'' to defund hate and indoctrination.

And now for something completely different



Shepherds Reign is a five-piece metal band from New Zealand. Made up of five musicians of Pacific, Maori and Asian descent, the South Auckland metallers put Pacific Island influence into their music, absolutely crushing with their newest cut.

With “Le Manu,” Shepherds Reign take Samoan-language warrior lyrics and mix it with thrash and groove metal

Well, not really.  Fortunately I've always had food on hand where I could make meals.  Let me replace 'too lazy' to 'I could not operate a stove in the condition I was in.'  Nor did I want to risk it.  I knew of stories where people pass out and the house catches on fire.  I didn't have a microwave either at the time.  Operating a can opener, using a spoon, and the ability to open the fridge or cupboard was the limit for me during those few instances.   :-[  ;)

Done occasionally (chives with roses, parsley (or some other weed), etc...  This time, I'm growing in containers and chince out on stuff like that.  I've done the home made sprays and store bought stuff...  Good reminder though...  I gotta do something more natural and healthy.

Livewires over Mogami, I hope...

I wrote two paragraphs of stuff but decided to wipe it because it's not necessary.  Let's just say that I feel fortunate that I can work very part-time now and be quite content with my finances.  Well, content until I have a year like this past one where I need to buy three cars...  Now the financial crunch of intense spending is rearing its ugly head.

PS, these guys all live in Southern California, mind you. A crappy house is over $500k.  In my neighborhood, I have a neighbor who's got a $1.7M home. My kids have friends whose families have much larger mansion-like homes under $600k near Dallas...  It's not cheap to live in a decent neighborhood with decent schools that actually teach kids to accel.

You and me both.  Here on the West Coast I've been seeing Saturn and Jupiter hanging out together in the southern part of the sky   from about midnight to four or five in the morning.  Bright Jupiter to the right and dimmer Saturn to the left.  They have been flanking each other for a number of weeks now and it's funny because I kind of thought that planets didn't line up with one another for such a long time, but there they are, night after night.

Post by: Kidnostad on July 18, 2020, 01:17:44 PM
I thought this discussion board exchange I had in another forum recently was worth re-posting here.

My post:

I watched "Greyhound" last night and thought it was the most authentic portrayal of anti-submarine warfare from the point of view of a destroyer crew that I have ever seen. 

I never served aboard a DD but I know something about anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare having served in submarines.  (The fact is that the most effective anti submarine warfare platform is another submarine.)   I can personally attest to the validity of the tactics and counter-tactics used and to the bridge and command and control protocols, i.e rudder orders, engine orders, communications with plot and the Combat Information Center, bridge to bridge and other external communications, and prescribed procedures and terminology in assuming and being relieved of the Deck and Con. (I also served and stood bridge watches in a submarine tender which is a large surface ship during the latter part of my career.)   

The CO's ship-handling was impeccable and I could easily visualize his maneuvering in relation to merchant ships in the convoy, other warships in the screen and U-boats in the wolf-pack by the rudder orders he gave and an occasional glimpse at the radar repeaters.  The author and screenwriter really did their homework and no doubt were advised by an experienced naval officer.

I was also most impressed with the authenticity of various components of the weapons, navigation, sensor and damage control systems, some of which were still in use when I came into the Navy in the sixties.  The detail down to equipment "knobology" and some of its unique idiosyncrasies was amazing.

One thing that was not authentic was the mocking radio transmissions from the U-boats.  No submariner would risk visual or electronic detection for that purpose.  Despite that, I'd give the movie 5 Stars.”

Response:

“Kid, that is good stuff!  I only have one question, rhetorical if you wish:

Do you still glow in the dark?”

My response:

“Yes but it’s not all bad.  I don’t have to turn the lights on when I get up during the night to urinate and  I’m a hoot at parties when I put a lampshade on my head and turn the lights off.”

Sometimes I wonder why I do this.

Your question peeked my interest so I watched “The Enemy Below” before turning in last night: 

Of course when it comes to material authenticity it was right on. 

Rudder orders were as prescribed with one exception.  The CO ordered helm to “stop the swing” when the order should have been “meet her.”  Probably done for the benefit of the audience who generally speaking wouldn’t know what “meet her” meant. 

Early in the movie the Captain’s communication to conning officer was repeated back in an incredulous tone.  That’s a big no no.  (I knew CO’s that would have relieved the conning Officer on the spot for that.)   No doubt this was written into the script for dramatic purposes. 

On several occasions telephone talkers paraphrased the verbal communication instead of quoting it verbatim.  That’s another no no.

DE and submarine tactics were solid except for U-Boat skipper’s repeatedly returning to course 140.  The boat would have had a much better chance of losing the DE and getting to the rendezvous point with the raider by more circuitous maneuvering.

Recognizing the movie was a drama meant to entertain and convey a moral message and allowing for dramatic license, the overall scenario was improbable and the outcome more than just a little far fetched.  Still, an excellent movie with a few knits.

We made an offer on a lakehouse and I'm optimistic that the "motivated" seller will bite hard.

A few issues:  The main thing being that with the exception of the tiled kitchen and bathrooms it, the house, is carpeted throughout! Yuck!

Here are a few shots of what is the living room or "great room" overlooking the lake. I will rip the carpet out immediately and install wood. Beautiful wood!  My problem is which way to run it.. the new floor. I want to run it front to back thus ELLonigating the room/main floor towards the lake rather than left to right. Somebody is fighting me tooth n nail on this. Am I wrong? can't be!!

I'M A FUCKING PROFESSIONAL!!

My home was built in the late 1800’s. My home is made from stones, wood, concrete, plaster and some nails. Only wet walls no dry walls.
My front room has a fireplace mantel.  My floors are made from wood. I have two layers of wood. 1st layer is old wide blank pine wood flooring. 2nd layer is the ‘cool’ "Hardwood Floor Inlays" look.  8)
A quick answer -- preferred direction to lay wood floors because it provides the best result aesthetically. In most homes, this means running the planks lengthwise straight away from your front door all the way to the back.
I drew out the look for my flooring. Light colored wood with a dark walnut inlay.

I appreciate the input and you taking the time to draw it out.  :)

I know all about the normal ways things are done when it comes to this situation as it is what I've done since 06. Should the seller accept our offer we have settled on a ceramic tile border around the hearth where I will then install the wood in the direction toward the lake. It is my wife that wanted to run the planking left to right but she has since uncharacteristically relented, or relaxed on that.  :o  Good thing too, I was planning a "secret garden" out there.. but I'll put that on ice.  For now   8)

An interesting event may happen up on Lake Superior today. Marinetraffic.com is showing M/V Stewart J. Cort headed to Superior, Wisconsin as normal to pick up Iron Ore. What is not normal is the projected route.  It is showing her as planning to use The Portage (a weird river/lake/canal) that traverses the Keweenaw Pennisula instead of taking the usual route up and around it.  Very unusual if this pans out.  M/V Stewart J. Cort was the first 1,000 foot iron ore carrier on the Great Lakes and if she takes The Portage, she'll have to go under the lift bridge that separates the towns of Houghton and Hancock.  Should be quite a sight. I think it is more likely that the Cort will dock in Marquette and pick up iron ore there. 

I have no idea why they would take the proposed route if they are really headed to Superior, WI.  One reason might be weather but looking at the Duluth Canal Webcam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpYSEFLCNtk) the lake is very calm.

Might have been fun to find out but looks like they weaseled. Looks like maybe port congestion at the ore docks so they are taking their time.  Only making 6 knots.  Guess they would rather move slowly than hang outside the harbor in Duluth.

So far so good.  Gasoline sold out yesterday by 4pm because the ordered evacuation of Galveston in the morning.  The tide started seeping into the street about 8am.  High tide was about 7:30am but low tide is at 10:28 tonight so that has been helping.  Another foot or so and the pool will flood again.  I moved a few miles inland to wait it out.  After I moved anything of value upstairs.

For the most part it was sunny and breezy all day.  Hasn’t rained here yet. I feel bad for the people that waited in Port Arthur.  They shut down all the bridges a few hours ago when the winds got over 40mph. 

Guess we will see what daylight brings.

Thank you all for the good thoughts and prayers during these last few days of Hurricane hell! Thankfully, we are all safe and well. Our state had a lot of damage that really was expected to be worse, so all in all, we and Texas were fortunate. Although, we did end up with a casino riverboat thrown and now wedged under the Interstate 10 bridge. 😬

I don't know exactly when it started but all the sudden (last two months) I cannot crack an egg with out getting a few tiny fragments of shell in there. There is NOTHING worse than enjoying your beautifully whipped nice n creamy scrambled eggs and then getting a CRUNCH :o  We get our eggs in from a local farm so I thought it was the way they feed their birds but when I bought a dozen from the store I had the same result - CRUNCH. I'm trying various edges to crack on from bowls, pans, even ramekins and nothing helps. Also, somehow the yolk is almost always getting punctured when I release the contents from the shell to the whatever I'm putting it in but that's a another story.



@ShayP What's the deal, man?

I hear ya! Eggs also seem to be harder to peel when they are hard boiled now. That's why I sleep in late and don't have breakfast until after I've had a coffee first. Yes it's true, I have poultry issues. Wow, great to finally get that out!

Always there to stick the dagger in just a little further..  you're consistent, I'll give you that!

ANNND @juan, aren't YOU the guy that thinks adding Velveeta to an omelette in place of actual CHEESE is socially acceptable?  I can find the quote if you need a refresher ;D

I don’t eat omelettes because only two eggs are a waste of time, and I don’t eat cheese. Especially Velveeta.

@KSM32  Have you ever tried picking the fragments out of the eggs after you crack them and before you scramble them? ;D  @juan has the right idea by cracking them on a flat surface.  Then just spread the shell open with your thumbs.  I'm quite certain you know how to spread something with your thumbs.  ;)

@ShayP

I keep a pair of tweezers in the kitchen now for just this purpose. Can provide pictures. Yes I CAN spread things very well with my thumbs, hips, tongue, cock, dink, prick, hog (Peace Hog) and nose. I'm THAT, good.

I'll try the countertop move tomorrow morning.

I usually get gas near where I live, but sometimes I get caught out elsewhere and need to fill it.

The past few years I noticed a growing trend where ''the receipt is inside'' instead of just being able to have it print out at the pump.  I want my fuckin' receipt.  I always go in, always tell them I shouldn't have to come in to get it.

Now, with Covid, it's great.  I walk in, no mask, the guy huddling behind the plexiglass wall, terrified, half freaking out, insisting I need a mask to come in, and I just stand there and repeat my request for a receipt.  They hand it over and I tell them I shouldn't have to come in and get it.  Lol.

Meanwhile, a few blocks away is the outdoor coffee shop across the street from Cal that I love going to.

It recently re-opened, although with half the tables removed.  After getting coffee, despite the signs and the county rules, probably 90% of the patrons sitting down take their masks off.  I haven't heard anyone say a word about it - other customers, employees, people walking by, nobody.  Police and firemen stop by on breaks sometimes, and not a peep out of them either.

At a breakfast place this morning there was a woman who was pulling her mask from her face as she shoveled loads of food in, then she'd let go - chew, and swallow; repeat. Perhaps she chewed with her mouth open and spared us all with the mask.

Men! I just had this conversation with my husband:
me: I'm getting bored with my hair. I'm thinking of putting a bunch of layers in it. What do you think?
him: (looking very serious and straight in my eye) Will you be able to put it up into a ponytail?
me: (thinking what? That's random) Well, ya...but not like a sleek ponytail.
him: Don't do it.
me: We're not 25 anymore. I don't think the ponytail is the make it or break it here.
him: It should be.
me:  ::)

I took an Italian class in high school, the teacher was a man who came from Italy. He decided we needed a field trip to Little Italy in NYC. We got on the bus and off we went. We arrived there and the teacher had the bus driver open the door. He said "Get out. Go have lunch in an Italian restaurant. Be back at 4pm." No one moved. We thought he was kidding. He wasn't. So out we went. A couple of us wandered around all day because we didn't have enough money to get a meal. A handful of the guys went down to China town and bought fireworks. I saw the teacher once that day, he was having lunch with a lady in one of the restaurants. We did walk past some of the places where the mafia men hung out, however none of us were murdered that day.

The Wuhan continues to wipe out chain restaurants here.  Last week, both Burger King and Popeye’s closed.  That leaves only McDonalds, Waffle House, Starbucks, and Chic-fil-a as chain joints here.  Local joints, including the place with the $50 hamburger, seem to be doing OK.

Boodie (our dog) had an odd, hard thingy on her upper shoulder/neck. We thought it was a dead tick, got it off and it wasn't a tick. Ended up with a tiny wound, the hard thing had been dried oozing ick. It seemed to scab over and we thought it would heal, but it didn't. It would ooze and become another hard thingy. We shaved it a little, clean it up and it kept not healing. So off to the Vet.
The doctor thought it might be a foxtail.  She was going to put a little lidocaine in there, see if there was a foxtail, flush it out etc. They got Boodie up on the table, the doctor pressed on the area and out popped her microchip! She had somehow reacted to it and it got infected. So she'll get antibiotics for two weeks, but should be just fine.

Here she is contemplating microchips.

Foxtail is a grass/weed with sharp hard sticker points.  Each segment has a seed and gets itself dispersed dropping on the ground or traveling on animals that brush up against it.  The points bore into the ground, but can also get into the skin under the fur.

My elementary school had a bunch of that growing all over. It was next to a creek.

Anyway, there was a dare going around to put one pointing in on your tongue and then say "caterpillar, caterpillar, caterpillar" before the thing would lodge in your throat.

All weeds in California that are thorny or have stickers were brought by the Spanish when they first came here to set up their ranches.  They came in the bales of hay brought on ships for livestock they were transporting. 

In the 300+ years since, these invasive weeds have crowded out native grass and other small plants statewide.  It's fairly rare for me to find native grasses in meadows and grassland areas when I'm out hiking or mountain biking.

-you have to go to school but you might get to go home early if it's really bad out
-the weather's terrible, that means we're going to be stuck in the gym bored as hell
-the bus is late so you freeze waiting and then the bus kids get to go home early so what was the point
-oops, we waited too long to send you home and the weather is terrible so the bussed in kids have to spend the night in the gym

Don't worry your pretty little head. They were all very well gendered, thank you very much. Well, there was one Todd...he was rather crooked.

Todd.  I hate that name.  In addition, all the people I encountered that had that name were assholes.  Just like Kevin.  AND ALL THE GLENNS!  I hate Todd, Kevin, and Glenn.  Close to 50 years on this planet and all of the dudes I knew with those names can suck it and die.

So, you're into it @KSM32 ?

Don't worry your pretty little head. They were all very well gendered, thank you very much. Well, there was one Todd...he was rather crooked. But to be fair I think it was karma for stealing him from my best friend. And technically I think I was cheating on my boyfriend. So sometimes karma comes in crooked Todds. I can't begin to imagine what he'd done.  ??? Thank goodness I'm on the straight and narrow now.
Very well put. +1 for sure, however that word in your very last line (BOLDED) does not bode well for spousal unit. Or shall I say, 'Spousal's Unit'

Contrary to what some say - I have yet to meet any real bad Steve's, Pete or Peter's, and the Dave's in my life have been stand up dudes, all of em'

There WAS one guy who's name sounded like David but his it was actually Davyn! That fucker relentlessly bullied me in elementary school. I owe him a-lot!
DAVYN. You see what they did there? they knew they had a bad seed from the git go but knew they couldn't name the bastard CUNT so they tried to sneak him into the Dave's thinking nobody would notice!

Davyn isn't a common name so he'll be easy to find.  I'll help you hunt him down and we will give him some payback for the bullying.  @KSM32

Ya know,  I've never had any issues with the Steve's and Peter's I've encountered.  Only had one Dave I recall having a problem with.  To this day I hate him.  Used to be very good friends for years.  That all went to shit.  Oh well.  Unfortunately ShayP does hold a grudge for a very long time.

If you ever are in my neck of the woods we will have some fun.   We'll kill two bottles by the way.

Davyn would later spend time in prison and has to the best of my knowledge been dead for some time now. His dad blew his (own) brains out at his mothers house in Victoria spreading his head chunks into the ocean.

Unfortunately, lack of tourism has already hurt this area. Louisiana is known as a hospitality state for its festivals, food, sports, fishing, etc. and like all those who rely on that industry, it’s been bad times since COVID. Doesn’t help that New Orleans has a mayor who’s an idiot more often than not.

Okay, now my covid haircuts are starting to get serious.

I've been able to maintain them to a point but I wasn't cutting the hair on the top of my head very much, haphazardly taking off a quarter inch just to keep the ends nice and clean.  I used clippers with a really big shield on it for the sides and back and it didn't look bad, a couple of times it looked good.

Now it looks like I'm trying to do a comb over.  Normally, I would go to a stylist because of the curl and wave in it and the cowlick too. If I had straight hair, I'd just cut it myself all the time.

Serious time for me.

Now I have 10 big canisters of Lysolâ„¢ brand cleaning & disinfecting wipes, 3 cases of toilet paper and 3+ cases of bottled water.

I got my hair cut last week so I'm looking good.

The Costco here has been bringing in those warehouse Lysol brand 5-packs of wipes very sporadically (limit 1 of course). They also have had the Kirkland brand of cleaning wipes fairly regularly. I've gotten lucky a couple of times and they also has been bringing in toilet paper & paper towels the same way.

They were out of water and all the rest for the longest time but maybe people finally got stocked up? I go to Costco way too much but ours has shopping for old people at 9AM daily so...

But as I sit here today, celebrating my 29th consecutive sober Thanksgiving, I am reminded of all the blessings I have received and all of the things I have to be thankful for.

I have a roof over my head, never worry about where my next meal is coming from, loyal family and friends, and last, but not least, plenty of ammo.

Happy Thanksgiving to y’all.

I’ve had many challenges the last couple of years and certainly could do without the chaos affecting our country and the world.

But as I sit here today, celebrating my 29th consecutive sober Thanksgiving, I am reminded of all the blessings I have received and all of the things I have to be thankful for.

I have a roof over my head, never worry about where my next meal is coming from, loyal family and friends, and last, but not least, plenty of ammo.

#GobbleGobble

Glad to see you! Happy Thanksgiving. Doing well here, nice relaxing day.

Okay, now my covid haircuts are starting to get serious.

I've been able to maintain them to a point but I wasn't cutting the hair on the top of my head very much, haphazardly taking off a quarter inch just to keep the ends nice and clean.  I used clippers with a really big shield on it for the sides and back and it didn't look bad, a couple of times it looked good.

Now it looks like I'm trying to do a comb over.  Normally, I would go to a stylist because of the curl and wave in it and the cowlick too. If I had straight hair, I'd just cut it myself all the time.

Serious time for me.
Are you trying to do a comb over?

🙄🙄🙄

The hair on the top of my head is getting so heavy it's laying flat and looks like I'm combing over.

Great morning for me!

Some days, today is a good day.

So far, been good.  Ran into a kids' friend's mother at Gelson's. She looks like young Angela from The Office. She was dressed in jeans and a checkered blue and white shirt. Yeehaw!

I was over-dressed (like a lumberjack - cold morning) and got quite a few looks passing each other in a few different aisles from a couple of ladies in their tennis skirts. The affirmation is nice, if they thought I was a freak oh well, I took it as a positive. So, talking to friend's mom in the parking lot, I stop a guy thinking that he's driving the brand new Corolla parked next to my car, I wanted to ask if he liked the transmission on it and how it's turned out for him... Turns out I was wrong and he was driving an Audi. After he gets in the car and drives away, she said "loser." I'm in love! She knows about cars enough to know about Audis. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Well, a little brightness in a day where I have to say goodbye to a lot of what's in my garden. The cold temperatures have been slowly killing a bunch of the plants off.  A bunch of my marigolds also died. Argh!

What a great year!

Bairyn has been mostly working from home so there has been added hours to bug her during.
I have been knocking out Rocky in VR and playing Racket NX with Bairyn.
I got a 3D printer and started printing guitar bodies to test out a bunch of parts I had lying around.
Instant Pot with air fryer lid? Fantastic!
Probably would not be playing with those items if it not were for the unique conditions this years has offered.
I hope 2021 is just as good as this year has been in the Ell household.

2020 has been very busy for us. but none of it will be repeated in 2021. Thank goodness. Including the spill I took yesterday when I failed to respect the characteristics of frost.

5 of the 7 men my wife employs are JW's.  Due to covid and limitations on gatherings at their churches members are asked to host zoom meetings from home. Each member must donate two hours a day for two full weeks. This is really slowing down production at work and some heads might roll......  yesterday after a few rather stern ultimatums were individually handed down one of them took his lunch break and came back and placed a large bouquet of flowers on her desk accompanied with a note.

It's kind of like flirty fishing, but in a way it's way more blatant. Funny thing is, nobody else can get into heaven. Why do they try so hard if the results are not even heaven?

I use to work with a lady in the jw. I remember asking her about the transfusion thing, because I thought it was awful when we had patients who were jw knowing that if they were to hemorrhage, we would have to simply watch them die. There was something in the bible that made them reject transfusions. I could not get a good answer though as to why they interpreted that bit in the bible to be about transfusions when there were no transfusions when that was written and it did not say "transfusion are bad". Seems like an unwise choice to me. Anyway, the religion did require lots and lots of hours.
Another thing I recall not caring for was that the church required that she "shun" her younger brother because he was living with a woman. The shun lasted many years and I thought that was a sad terrible waste of time she could have spent with him. Finally, he married the woman and all was right with the world, the shunning was over. Nine months later he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and was dead about 6 months later.

I wasn't saying that she was cooperating, that is just their general opinion about the rest of the world. JWs don't mind seeing the destruction of non-members. It is their whole divide and conquer attitude.

Kind of like Muslims, if lying gets their agenda accomplished, they act as if God allows them to lie. Or at least that's the attitude they've taken in the multiple times I've encountered them.

That reminds me, don't they have a propensity to bring a kind of housewarming gift every time they visit? For some reason that seems to have been the case. I don't know what the motivation was, a return gift for your hospitality? Maybe it's influenced by some sort of old Jewish tradition. I dunno!

@PolkaDot

The left is the basic Arc, Burst.  Burst is the assigned name for the color. There are white ones (Arc whip) Black ones (Arc Astro) as well as purple, neon green and others.

On the right we have the Arc Pro Burst.  The extra piece in the middle operates independent of the other components. It is a masterpiece. It IS for all intense purposes, A Swivel Within A Swivel <- My slogan adapted by it's creator.  I am about to become the Canadian distributor for these gems.  Very little money to be made but it's not about that. We're at war with a swivel cunt who is armed with nothing more than a shitasss replica born from lifted ideas.

Drummers are the ones who early on make the choice to cart around the most gear and stair at dudes asses every night.  He just got wise to it.  And he decided he wanted to ruin every, single, rockumentary for several years with his media whoring.

My latest Falkie song is a cover of IN THE END by Linkin Park.
I chose it because it has rappy stuff and singy stuff.
I also chose it because END can become spENDa, his rap name.
I am not a fan of rappy songs so I never really paid attention to this one.
To my surprise, when learning the parts, I discovered there is a haunting song hidden under all that rappyness.
Here is a sample -

Those new V3 Wyze cameras are magical.
You can pop them inside the window and get color night vision without the hassle of wiring the fuckers.
You can pop one in the sex room and not have to worry about lighting.
I got 4 of them and watch them on a 70" TV like Scarface!

Shipped another release of our product so as a reward the White Shoe Boys gave us the day off - freebee.   Was going to go to the state park but they are talking about storms and hail. So went to the ACE this morning and got a new valve cartridge for the drippy kitchen faucet and fixed that. I'm wanting to try one of these $1 Ribeye Steaks that they have down an the Family Dollar - they look pretty delish there on the banner but Mrs. Walks is objecting mightily. She's afraid that the dollar store is awash in virus [unlike the ACE where the vital Delta valve was obtained from] and that a $1 Ribeye [which may or may not be Beef] will rot my innards.  What say you thread?

Dollar Tree steaks! @Walks_At_Night   I've had those before.  It's been several years though.  That 3.5 ounces will be 2 after cooking them.  I think we're on the same wavelength.  I too went to ACE Hardware this morning.  You may or may not be familiar with the stores in my region, but there's a grocery chain called Giant Eagle.  Some have ACE inside them which I think is weird.  Nothing like getting some paint rollers, a pick axe, heavy cream, and eggs at one place!  ;) ;D

3.5 oz ribeye??? From what?  A calf?  Wouldn’t that be called veal? 

$5 a pound. I don’t eat beef much anymore unless it is a special occasion and then I get a really thick porterhouse, ribeye or tenderloin so I can sear it and call it done. About twice a year I will splurge on waygu beef.

Hell my $50 hose from the Home Depot is a nightmare. I've had to replace the end on it and it is kinky, drippy mess. The Trader Joe's here is hell. Constantly blown out. Can't find a place to park. Takes forever to check out. Not cheap. The stuff in there is fine but not worth the hassle. I don't get it. On the other hand the Food Dog is pretty awesome. Easy in. Easy out. Plenty of parking. Extra Low Prices - says so right on the damn building.

I miss Food Lion.  Best deals.  It was a half mile from my house when I lived in Virginia.  So convenient.  Their perks plan was great.  There were a few times I checked out and didn't have to pay.  That was a good feeling.  Especially surprising since I never paid attention to how many points I accrued.

Not a fan of Trader Joe's whatsoever.

We had a Food Lion that opened up in a brand new building a few weeks before the television report about bleaching meat to eliminate odors and selling cheese that had been gnawed on by rodents. It closed down within a month. Now it has been converted into a climate controlled self storage rental place.

I remember that.  Happened soon after I moved to Virginia.  The stores there were shut down in my area and they cleaned house.   Not just the buildings, but management, etc.

They turned it around though.  I lived in a bad part of town and the perception was that the store would be bad.  Nope.  Very clean, always stocked, and nice employees...give or take a few.

No Hamm’s @GravitySucks  and no blue waters for me @Walks_At_Night . I am a beer snob. I grew up where everything had the aroma of malted barley and hops. Philly’s 3 HUGE breweries have been transformed in to condominiums for folks from NYC.  Small craft breweries are the new craze. These local breweries are so small -- the aroma of the MASHING in the air is gone.
I am guilty of attending GOAT RACES. I loved two goats 3 legged goats-PEGGY & Simon. Goat =Bock. I was a member of TEAM PEGGY.

No Hamm’s @GravitySucks  and no blue waters for me @Walks_At_Night . I am a beer snob. I grew up where everything had the aroma of malted barley and hops. Philly’s 3 HUGE breweries have been transformed in to condominiums for folks from NYC.  Small craft breweries are the new craze. These local breweries are so small -- the aroma of the MASHING in the air is gone.
I am guilty of attending GOAT RACES. I loved two goats 3 legged goats-PEGGY & Simon. Goat =Bock. I was a member of TEAM PEGGY.

@FISH my best friend and roommate the last 2 years in the Air Force was from the Pittsburgh area. One time we took a road trip from Omaha to Pittsburgh in my van to attend his sister’s wedding. First thing we did when we hit town was go pick up several cases of Iron City. Last thing we did before leaving town was go pick up 8 cases of Iron City to take back to Omaha. Never understood his liking for Iron City.

No good samaritan law in China. Helping an injured person is a great way to get your tail sued off.  Dog shoes aren't that uncommon either - for the same reason that Chinese remove their shoes before entering a house. All the spitting and pissing in the street.

@Walks_At_Night are you talking about China or San Francisco?

My kind of guy.  People either love it or absolutely hate it.  After I moved to Virginia many years ago I'd come back to Pittsburgh every so often for a visit and before I came back I'd stop by the distributer then would fill my trunk with Iron City and I.C. Light.  6 to 8 cases each time.  I don't drink a lot of beer anymore but if I do it's "Ahrn" City.  ;)

Good News of the Week, May 26, 2021

1. Biden assured PM Netenyahu of his full support to replenish Israel’s supply of Iron Dome interceptors and to ensure its defenses and security in the future.

2. The “lab leak theory” of Covid origins used to be dismissed as a conspiracy theory.  Now MSM is supporting the idea as intelligence on sick staff at the Wuhan Institute of Virology fuels the debate.

3. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation that gives every Floridian the power to fight back against deplatforming and allows any person to sue Big Tech companies for up to $100k in damages.  It also allows the FL Election Commission to impose steep daily fines on any social media company that deplatforms any statewide or non-statewide candidate.

4. Alabama Governor, Kay Ivey, signed a bill banning vaccine passports in Alabama.

5. Houston Methodist hospital system repeatedly tried to bribe staff to get the jab, but many refused.  Now the CEO is threatening to fire them, but community and staff are uniting and fighting back with petitions, protests and threats to sue if the policy is not changed.

6. America’s Frontline Doctors are suing the federal government and requesting a restraining order to prevent forcing the jab on children under 16.

7. Israel is lifting most of their Covid restrictions next Tuesday, June 1st. 

8. The “Saturday Night Live” season finale featuring rapper Lil Nas X tied last week’s episode for the lowest ratings of the season.

9. The Texas Legislature approved a measure that would eliminate the requirement for TX residents to obtain a license to carry handguns if they are not barred by state or federal law from possessing a gun. Gov. Abbot said he will sign it.

10. An armed citizen in Miami, FL, intervened and scared off anti-semitic attackers who were throwing garbage and verbally threatening a Jewish family as they left their synagogue. 

11. President Trump formed the “1776 Commission” to establish patriotic education in our schools.  The group met Monday to discuss how to combat the recent push by the Biden administration to teach Critical Race Theory in our schools.

12. A national PAC was launched Monday to raise awareness about CRT and the 1619 Project, overturn its teaching by campaigning for school board candidates nationwide and to restore patriotism and pride in our American history.

13. The Texas Senate approved a bill banning Critical Race Theory from public schools and open-enrollment charter schools.  Oklahoma, Idaho and Tennessee have already acted to ban CRT from schools.

14. A national group called US Parents Involved in Education published a resource guide for parents who are fighting Critical Race Theory in their local school districts.

15. A US judge officially dismissed the federal charges against Steve Bannon, citing President Trump’s full and unconditional pardon he issued the day before leaving office.

16. A bill passed the Texas Legislature that will require public schools and universities to display our nation’s motto “In God We Trust” in a conspicuous place if a poster or framed copy of the motto is donated to it.

17. Facebook whistleblowers spoke out and leaked internal documents to Project Veritas.  They detail how Facebook secretly censors vaccine concerns on a global scale.

@ShayP the Pirates may very well cemented Kris Bryant’s future with the Cubs during this season. He’s their hottest commodity as far as trade talks because he can play third, all the outfield and 1b, is a long ball hitter with a .320 average and can run the bases exceptionally well for a guy that is 6’5”. There have been trade talks ever since Spring training and almost everyone agrees that if the Cubs were out of the running they would look at this as a rebuilding opportunity, especially since they let Yu Darvish go during the winter. Bryant, Rizzo and Baez are all in their final contract year (along with half their roster) and nobody thinks they can handle the salary cap hit to resign all of them. As it stands now they are only a half game out of first.

Still a lot of baseball left before the July trade deadline. I don’t think the Cubs have the pitching to keep it up.  I’ve been a life long Cubs fan. Plus Wrigley Field got me into the Hall of Fame, so I would like to see them go all the way. But they need starting pitching.

I might have to unban myself from watching or listening to baseball.

I was flipping through the stations the other day and thought I heard the guy on the sports station say there were 3 teams that had more hits than strikeouts.  I don't know if that's true, but we all see the batting averages and number of strikeouts - they're not even putting the ball in play.

@PB I took my daughter on a trip to Chicago for a 5 day trip to show her where I grew up and took her to 2 games at Wrigley Field. Which is in the middle of a neighborhood where there isn’t any “official” parking. The lot I used was probably 6 blocks away. It cost $50 each day. I splurged for the best field box tickets I could find on stubhub. They were about $200 per seat per game.

I don’t drink and I told her she would have to buy her own beer. We had a great time but it was very expensive. I have been a guest at several Astros games, mainly playoff games. But I never have sat in at a world’s series game. I tried to buy tickets in 2016 but there wasn’t enough money in my name to snag a seat. I used to really enjoy watching baseball. I was a bleacher bum as a kid when open seating in the bleachers was $1. My gf had a dream of seeing a game in every park. We probably went to 15 different ballparks but haven’t sought out a new one in years. She would go to several Astros games a year with her family. I can’t stand the crowd. She gave up on baseball entirely when the Astros got caught cheating.

When I was stationed in Omaha in 79-82, I used to get general admission tickets to the entire college World Series games for a total of about $25-$30.  You can’t get into a single game at the new Rosenblatt stadium for that now. But saw some really good athletes that went on to star in the majors. Used to watch a bunch of AAA baseball there too with the Omaha Royals. In 1981 I really went overboard riding the crap out of Bobby Bonds who was trying to hang around baseball. His kid wasn’t playing yet. He played for the Wichita Aeros in between stints with the Cubs. I had him pretty riled up. Glad I didn’t run into him after the game. Kinda still feel bad about that night, but the Omaha Royals were pretty good that year and after all they were the home team.

I was always under the impression the Cubs had deep pockets.  @GravitySucks  There's no cap, so I guess it's the luxury tax that is an issue.  Maybe?  One of the three you mentioned will be retained.  In my opinion, if they shop anyone it should be Bryant.  You are correct regarding the starting pitching.  If the Cubs have a castoff like former Bucco Trevor Williams there is a problem.  Catching is at a premium and if the Cubs do anything they should deal Contreras.  Baez is electric.

... I used to really enjoy watching baseball. I was a bleacher bum... the bleachers was $1. My gf had a dream of seeing a game in every park... She gave up on baseball entirely...

Same here to all the above


... I have been a guest at several Astros games, mainly playoff games. But I never have sat in at a world’s series game. I tried to buy tickets in 2016 but there wasn’t enough money in my name to snag a seat.

I managed to get tix to nearly every A's and Giants playoff and World Series home game from the 80s and 90s until the strike year, when I stopped watching baseball completely (more A's than Giants postseason games, obviously).  A mix of getting lucky with tickets when they went on sale, or buying extras from people or scalpers right before the game.  (Sharks too, all through the 90s).

(Due to a certain level of expertise buying and selling concert tickets when I was young and broke - so I could afford to go - paying off.  I still rarely if ever buy concert tickets from the box office, unless it's day of at a small venue)


...  In 1981 I really went overboard riding the crap out of Bobby Bonds who was trying to hang around baseball. His kid wasn’t playing yet. He played for the Wichita Aeros in between stints with the Cubs. I had him pretty riled up. Glad I didn’t run into him after the game. Kinda still feel bad about that night

Bobby was a great player, but a cancer in the clubhouse.  That's why he kept getting traded and played on so many teams.

His buddy Willie Mays and his kid were also jerks, especially Barry of course, but the better one plays the more it's tolerated.


... When I was stationed in Omaha in 79-82, I used to get general admission tickets to the entire college World Series games for a total of about $25-$30.  You can’t get into a single game at the new Rosenblatt stadium for that now... Used to watch a bunch of AAA baseball there too with the Omaha Royals...

I loved baseball as a kid.  In our town men's fast-pitch softball and the American Legion baseball team were what we had.  I'd spend all weekend watching the softball tournaments when they came (that was free), and watched baseball to a lesser extent.  (Frankly, for me fast pitch softball was and is a better game than baseball).

When I moved here I probably went to between 20 and 40 Giants games a year, depending on whether they were contenders.  Sometimes I'd buy an extra box-seat ticket for a few bucks from someone outside the stadium on game day, but usually I'd buy a bleacher seat and either sneak into the box seats or stay out there and chill with the real fans.  I liked Candlestick, the new park is a bit much.

Even though I lived closer to the A's stadium, and they were usually better teams, I'd probably only go to a couple of their games a year.  Boo to the DH.

The only games I've been to since the 1993 strike were free tickets from vendors.  Haven't watched any of it on TV, but do still follow the local teams for some reason.

I'm glad, the games are longer, everything is super expensive, the game is beyond boring the way it's played now - bleep it.

... She gave up on baseball entirely when the Astros got caught cheating...

I don't 'quite' get it.  I'll say up front I did not follow that whole episode, but cheating, or should we call it gamesmanship, has been part of baseball since the beginning. 

Scuffing up the ball, spitballs, freezing the balls, stealing signs, pine tar on the bats, corking the bats, erasing the batter's box chalk outlines, mowing the lawn extra short or keeping it extra long, watering down the base paths, and so on, were acceptable practices with minimal repercussions.

The early years of domed stadiums featured air conditioning fans blowing out when the home team batted and blowing in when the visitors were at bat.

In the NFL we have deflated balls, helium filled balls (for the punter), spying on the opponents practices, and so on.

When the rules like these are broken to gain advantage, a large percentage of fans think it adds to the lore of baseball, and maybe a bat, a ball, or even a player here or there is tossed out of the game in the past - and I'm not necessarily advocating cheating, but now suddenly this is the reaction?

In a few sentences, what made this so different?

Legal cheating was always part of the game.  Eliminating all of those things, brush back pitches, knuckleballers, and taking 30-minutes between each pitch drove me from baseball many years ago.

I believe everyone got upset because they were using technology to cheat. Stealing the signs from the video feed and then banging on a trash can to signal either a fastball or curve. Can’t remember which. One of the pitchers that got traded the next year blabbed about it. You’re right. Gaining an advantage by cheating has been part of the game. Niekro getting caught with sandpaper. Pine tar too far up on the bat. Corked bats. Dodgers used to be famous for how they prepared the dirt in front of home plate to favor their speedy runners beating out infield hits and bunts and spreading extra loose dirt there when Tommy John was pitching. Don’t quite remember the details. Barry Bonds wearing his famous home run hitting assist device.

Probably what got her pissed the most was it just wasn’t one or two players doing something to gain advantage, like a pitcher that had mastered a spitter. The coaches were definitely involved and sanctioned it.

I made it about a 30-40 minutes and then went out to walk at night.

No sandwiches. @FISH  I did take a page out of your book and just munched on some nice fresh crusty Italian bread with butter yesterday.  ;)  Nothing else during that meal.  Just yummy bread and butter while the others had a bigger meal.  :)  I can't tell you how many times I was asked "Is that all you're gonna have?"  ;D

It hit 90 on Saturday and that happened to be the day I volunteered to paint the outside of my aunt's house.  ShayP does not do well in the heat, especially when the sun is strong.   :(

@ShayP , as you know a fish will fry in the heat.  ::)
I am waiting for some Jersey tomatoes and corn to grow. I have to remember what to eat when it is hit the 90's. You are a good guy to paint your aunt's house--OUTSIDE.
I have a friend who likes to bake bread. Maybe I will give her a call this week. I have a city container garden in my back yard. This heat is something else.

@FISH   Where my aunt lives is one of the neighborhoods I grew up in.  She didn't live there when I did though.  It's always nice to go there and look around and see how it's changed.  Lot's of memories.  Lot's of changes.  The row house where I lived is gone.  The adjacent ones that shared the common walls are still there, but where I lived is just an empty space.

I wish I could bake bread.  I am not good at baking.  I can do Focaccia and biscuits, that's it.  I wish my grandmother would've left her recipes.  She made some great breads.

Speaking of tomatoes, your post reminded me that I forgot to get some yesterday.  ;D

Give your friend a call!  Get that bread!  And stay out of the heat.  ;)

@ShayP  That sounds so sad and final. You should go set up a tent in the empty space and camp for a weekend. Who knows.. maybe if you look around you'll find an old toy of yours or something sticking out of the dirt like Big Jim's head! The dirt might have perfectly preserved him. Playtime!!

PS  I'll bring beer, whiskey, and my old Hot Wheels collection!  ..and let's not forget my army men!  :D

Playtime would be fun! @KSM  I'll bring army men too.  Our battlefield will be epic.  Hot Wheels?  Cool.  I was more of a Matchbox kid.  Once we set up our soldiers we can pretend the dildo is an alien space craft zooming down to drop loads on our troops.   :D

I’ll have to admit the late 50’s and the 60’s had some really great stuff to play with.  Remco gadgets, Mattel guns, even ones that actually shot cap propelled projectiles, plus machine guns, even bazookas!  ;D

My brothers and I used to get into BB gun fights with kids who lived on the next street.  Night time of course, and you really couldn't see all that well if there wasn't a streetlight handy.  It was fun to blast away though, even if it was dark.  A BB hit me in the temple once.  Nobody ever lost an eye.

“Mattel Sonic Blaster is a 157 db Toy from the Past”

The toys of the past sometimes surprise us with their capabilities.  The Mattel Agent Zero M Sonic Blaster 5530 from 1966 is one of those toys – it could fire compressed air that caused a deafening blast.   Deafening is an accurate word since it pumped out over 157db – above the level that is rated to do permanent damage to an adult’s hearing.

Yet another toy I would've loved.  I have a feeling it wouldn't last long because I'd get into some trouble.  I could see me aiming it at my grandmother and blowing her glasses off.  That would've been the end of the toy and the end of me as well.  ;D

It was cool as Hell.  I’d pump the thing up to the max and it would send out a ball of air you could feel probably 50 feet away.  I’d set up paper targets and then blow them away.  ;D

Strangely enough, my hearing is still fine, even after blasting away and years of attending arena rock concerts.

For the most part it is all how you treat the meat. In this case ground beef, nice n simple. i do not use a seasoning pack but rather my own seasoning that consists of a tex-mex seasoning as a base and adding chili powder, pinch of hot smoky paprika, onion and garlic powder and of course S&P.
Brown the meat and strain if needed.
Add the seasoning stuff and a little water to evenly distribute.
After water is almost all evaporated toss the meat mix into the food processor and pulse a few times until the meat is a nice fine (not too fine) consistency. Optional - add a little salsa to the above just before pulsing.  This is the base of your taco. You're welcome @anniem  :)

Ugh why do I feel like @ShayP is going to call me out on this method.   8)

I never hear or see playing kids either. It's not just because of COVID-19. It's due to fundamental changes in society. Of course, they can't play street football while they stare at their cellphones.

Friend of my wife has five kids who were all playing together IN THEIR OWN DRIVEWAY of their affluent Calgary home when several neighbors called the cops  :o   These houses are all about 60 ft from each other so it's not like they were trespassing onto some old mans lawn.  Bad playtime!!!

That's *way* out of line! The cops should have given them a ticket for being felonious Karens.

For the most part it is all how you treat the meat. In this case ground beef, nice n simple. i do not use a seasoning pack but rather my own seasoning that consists of a tex-mex seasoning as a base and adding chili powder, pinch of hot smoky paprika, onion and garlic powder and of course S&P.
Brown the meat and strain if needed.
Add the seasoning stuff and a little water to evenly distribute.
After water is almost all evaporated toss the meat mix into the food processor and pulse a few times until the meat is a nice fine (not too fine) consistency. Optional - add a little salsa to the above just before pulsing.  This is the base of your taco. You're welcome @anniem  :)

Ugh why do I feel like @ShayP is going to call me out on this method.   8)

Hey @ShayP the best thing for sleep. And super healthy. A supplement of Calcium Citrate, Magnesium and Vitamin D3. You can find it in any drugstore, Amazon etc. Make sure the calcium to magnesium ratio is 2:1. The pill is pretty huge so I take it in liquid form at night with my chamomile tea another natural relaxer. I sleep like the dead with that combination. Pleasant Dreams 🌜🌠

Thanks lady.  I need something.  I get bouts where I will only sleep 20 hours in a week.  Unisom used to help.  I won't take prescribed aides.  I'll look into your suggestion.  Funny thing is, I slept like the dead yesterday.  Now, I know from experience, I won't be any time soon.

@ShayP

So you're saying that sometimes you'll sleep less than an average of 3 hours a night for a week or so? How, the FUCK, do you get through a day like that? If I get less than 7 per night I'm screwed. A drummer I used to work with had your problem and eventually became a drunk as he drank red wine every night until snooze time. It worked for him LOL he still does it although i think he's down to one big glass a night.
Do you look at the clock and say things like, 'if I get to sleep now I'll get 6 hours' and then 3 hours later you're reduced to 'if I get to sleep now I'll at least get a solid 3 hours"
Another insomniac I knew took up smoking half a joint every night and that worked for him and he said he sleeps great now. I had really bad insomnia in my 20's. Evening would roll around and I would find myself stressed in the anticipation of the inevitable fight for sleep. Eventually I stopped fighting it and just didn't give a shit. That, worked for me to this day. Just said, fuck it one night, I don't care anymore! =ZZZzzzzzzz

@ItsOver  Do you take a full dose or perhaps only half? When I took melatonin I found that if I didn't completely sleep it off I was completely drag ass drugged up tired all day. When I halved the tablets things went great.

@ShayP

So you're saying that sometimes you'll sleep less than an average of 3 hours a night for a week or so? How, the FUCK, do you get through a day like that?

Yes. @KSM  It's been a roller coaster and I can't figure out why.  This started a few years ago.  I'll sleep soundly for 6-8 hours per night for a week, then the next week or two I will barely sleep at all.  Recently I was up for 54 straight hours before I could fall asleep.  I actually can get through the day but I lack focus and can't think straight. 

During these episodes of insomnia I will be dog tired, exhausted, then go to bed.  I pass out then wake up an hour later totally wired.  Like an adrenaline rush.

I've done sleep studies, talked to doctors, etc.  No solution.  I will not take Ambien and shit like that.  I'm not into weed either.  I drank so much in my life that having a few before bedtime would do nothing.  I'd need to drink a fifth.  I need to drink less, not more.

I found that 10mg time release works best for me, for keeping me zonked out through the night.  I started with 5mg but the 10mg is best for.  No problems the next day.  I’d say try 5mg and go from there.  I do know if I want to really nod off quickly, a 5mg, non-time release, plus the 10mg time release puts me down in no time. ;)

One thing with the time release melatonin, it isn’t like a prescription sleeping pill.  When I just take the time release stuff, it’s pretty subtle.  I’ll kick back not noticing anything but then I kind of fade into sleep while I’m thinking about anything but “gee, why can’t I fall to sleep.”  Just take the stuff then concentrate on how badly Jorch Snoorway sucks.  ;)

He starts them with a round table with his posse of followers and it is super boring so you conk out right away. Later in the night Dietrich goes solo, so he is talking to you in your REM state. 



It works great! The only downside is the dreams. You will dream and not normal dreams either. You will dream of Dietrich and his tales.

According to Dietrich it is true. In fact, she removed her mask at the end of  recent session with DDD and gave him a warning about dark forces. As he left, he was attacked by three assassins carrying baseball bats. He made short work of them and left them dead in a heap to be picked up by a "meat wagon".  However his internal organs were crushed in this attack, so he had to go to the ER where the doctor's were amazed at how he rapidly self healed due to the nano blood he was given back when he was 12 when his real blood was drained out by the Feds and he was enforced to impregnate the woman without a soul. By chance the guy in the ward next to him was in the hospital was having a mechanical anus installed.

When DDD's Mom was just barely a teen, Hirohito sent her to Berlin to obtain the most holy of holies - Führer sperm. Using her feminine wiles, she was successful in her quest and returned to the Land of the Rising Sun with the vital fluid.  Unbeknownst to the Emperor, she held some back and saved it until the mid 1960's when she impregnated herself with it and thus gave birth to DDD. So while he was raised by Mr. Dietrich, his true Father is Adolf Hitler.

Anything @ShayP ? You did say anything. Put DDD on low volume. His streams average about 12 hours so the length is there. He starts them with a round table with his posse of followers and it is super boring so you conk out right away. Later in the night Dietrich goes solo, so he is talking to you in your REM state. 



It works great! The only downside is the dreams. You will dream and not normal dreams either. You will dream of Dietrich and his tales.

@Walks_At_Night I would do anything for love sleep, but I won't do that.  ;D  You've tried to coax me into listening to DDD for a while now and I just can't do it.  Please tell me that's not him in that video.  I'm not pressing play.  I just remember him a long haired creepy looking Asian guy.

@ShayP have you tried binaural beats? You need good headphones as some of the tones are lower in frequency. I usually don't have a problem sleeping but it did put me out pretty quick when I did try it. The only thing is you have headphones on. I've tried it both on YouTube and spotify.

The placebo effect is not nonsense.
Believing they alter brainwaves is the nonsense part.

I have used my brainwave app binaural beats successfully to stay alert doing mundane computer tasks reviewing thousands of vulnerabilities and recommended responses where attention to detail was mandatory and the review/editing process would take several full days and under pretty extreme time pressure. When I started I couldn’t do it for more than about 20 minutes straight without taking a break. Listening to classical music, especially Bach and Vivaldi helped somewhat. When I started using the app I was able to go 4 hours straight with no errors. Probably could have gone longer but always scheduled a lunch break to decompress.

Having to wear headphones or earbuds can make it a bit cumbersome for sleeping so I don’t use it much now that I am retired because my sleep schedule doesn’t really matter much. But if the sleep deficit builds up over time, I will use them with a lavender inhaler to catch some good zzz’s.

Placebo effect may explain some people’s success with them, but having used them for over 12 years in one form or another I am sold on them.

Back in the early 90’s when I was involved with astronaut training I proposed using eeg type monitoring integrated into the VR headsets. I felt you could slow down the training session if the trainee wasn’t alert. At the time NASA thought it was a good idea but seemed “too hard”.  I still have my suspicions that someone in those meetings went on to start NeuroSky.

Once I got familiar with binaural beats, and with the technology advances I formalized my ideas to not only do the monitoring during training but also during EVAs. During EVAs the astronauts wear a skull cap and it would have been very easy to integrate eeg sensors like NeuroSky uses. I submitted several unsolicited proposals with full backing from the aerospace company I was working for at the time. They gave me some seed funding and I built a basic prototype using the NeuroSky sensors and the gnaural open source programs. The idea was to use the binaural beats for several scenarios. Guide the astronauts back to an alert, attentive state, especially during training while on their way to MARS. That type of training needs to be accomplished while in route in order to provide a “just-in-time” training session for landing procedures. Another would be to help alter their circadian rhythm in order to have multiple shift coverage during long duration missions.

My proposals were all well received by the Engineering Directorate at JSC and they encouraged me to keep lobbying for funding. The astronaut office would never buy in. Monitoring vital signs like O2, heart rate and blood pressure seem to be fine, but sensing what happens in an astronaut’s head turned out to be a show stopper. I still believe my ideas had merit and could have been expanded to include pilots of regular and military aircraft.

Elon Musk has taken it a step further. No binaural beats for that dude. Just embed a chip.

Your brain would synchronize with any kind of stimulus in exactly the same way.
Monaural beats would be equally as effective and not require headphones.

U.S. Navy controls inventions that claim to change "fabric of reality"

Quote
The U.S. Navy controls patents for some futuristic and outlandish technologies, some of which, dubbed "the UFO patents," came to light recently. Of particular note are inventions by the somewhat mysterious Dr. Salvatore Cezar Pais, whose tech claims to be able to "engineer reality." His slate of highly-ambitious, borderline sci-fi designs meant for use by the U.S. government range from gravitational wave generators and compact fusion reactors to next-gen hybrid aerospace-underwater crafts with revolutionary propulsion systems, and beyond

Sometimes words fail to translate over the cold computer screen. What was meant in humor seems to taken as meanness and that was certainly not my intention. I profusely apologize for this.

By now I know you to be an amazing female so I really should know better than to make such an ass of myself so freely.  Please accept my apology @PolkaDot

Man Learns His Son is Actually His Uncle Due to Grandfather's Affair

Quote
As Simpson-Bey explains in the clip, his partner at the time had cheated on him with his grandfather—meaning that the son Simpson-Bey believed to be his own was actually his grandfather's.

“Jonathan McDowell, an American astronomer who lists all manoeuvres and orbital launches on the planet, has confirmed it was the second floor of a Chinese Long March 2 C rocket, which took off June 18 at 06 h25 UTC from Xichang launch center, with 4 satellites on board,” Association Calédonienne d’Astronomie posted on Facebook.

Okay, this actually irritated me. You can't look 20 when you're 50 without being very plastic and botoxed. Which is ridiculous. It's okay to age, we will all do it...if we're lucky. Men!  ::) I think women AND men should look appropriate for their ages. I think some people actually look better in their later years.

Now I'm pleased to see my #Clickacy has improved to fine jewelry. I think because of your influence. Look at these lovely teal sapphire studs. It says mined in Montana. Perfect to bring out the highlights in my eyes. Don't stay away too long. I suffer

Hey @Rikki Gins that's a topic we haven't seen in 100 years. Not jewelry per se. But my favorite era of fashion, architecture and decor Art Deco. That would make up for all those machinery parts

Ages ago, Korean made Les Pauls used American factory-provided wood. Unfortunately, the finishing techniques weren't as advanced, but there were some beautiful tops coming out of Korea. I think they were a half inch thick...

Nowadays, companies use a 16th of a millimeter laminate.

Is any of this true?

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor"

But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting Married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof... Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would Sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.

The country is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive... So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.

I mainly play my strats @KSM.  My dick is so big it gets picked up by humbuckers, that is why I have to use the wimpy Epiphone LP.  The Gibson pickups just hum too much.  I’m sure others than yourself have run into this issue.

I have 2 Epiphones on my repair rack right now. A Batwing Strat and a Special II.
I'm going to donate the SII but I will probably keep the Batwing because it's just so damn ugly... in a sexy way.

Is any of this true?

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor"

But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting Married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof... Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.

I had a slightly older friend who got a lot of gigs switching over to bass. He played with Steve Jones and Belinda Carlisle. While I already was playing bass, I went pretty much full time when I saw how much more I could do and how many more doors I could get through...

Hopefully it was the pudgy, drugged out 80's version of Belinda.  Not the plastic Belinda 2.0 version.

Oh, it was "made-over" Belinda.  She may have said she was clean then.  I can't say the year exactly, early 90s? 

Funny, he told me that he used his Hondo II bass on some of those gigs.  So, if you ever see old mid 80s to early 1990s footage of Steve Jones or Belinda Carlisle and the bassist has a baby blue P-Bass-looking instrument, that's a freaking Hondo!

The band was called something like the Tricksters or Teargassers (I think it was a "T" name) with Steve Jones. 30+ years have passed...

If it is a Netflix production then they will have a real insurance company attached... which means they will follow the strict guidelines every insurance company involved in the entertainment industry requires... which means locals will take to Facebook to complain about the Hollywood types and make it into some political nonsense because the reality of it is too factual... and at least one local will be quoted as saying INSURANCE?

@KSM I'm on Prednisone due to back issues. Disc problems, microfractures, inflammation, etc.   I've been on this regimen several different times in my life and it really affects me in a negative manner.

When the doctor prescribed it to me I knew what was to come.  Nothing good happens when ShayP is on the 'roids.  I really should not be around people or food for the next 5 days.  I know I won't sleep much either.  I feel 10 feet tall right now and am hungry (again) and agitated.   :(

Okay.  Three more days to reduce the steroid cycle.  I've been here before but this is the worst.  I can't feel my pulse.  I want to eat EVERYTHING.  I want to go on a killing spree.  I'm avoiding people.  My skin itches.  If I weren't such a fat fuck I'd run 7 miles to downtown for no reason whatsoever.  Only to run back.

I have taken steroids before but never did I have the reactions I'm dealing with now.  I think I'll call my doctor tomorrow.

It’s been a long year since I started working on my tipi grounds in the woods. I had a vision that I was going to build a place in my woods to host Native American healing ceremonies. Originally my plan was to just plan one for April 8, 2024 when we will have a total eclipse of the sun and my woods will be in the middle of it. Well not exactly the middle but still within the totality zone. I had the realization that if I didn’t plan something much sooner I would be much too old to work on it as 2024 approached. I was 64 at the time. In 2024 I will turn 69.

I started one year ago. I hadn’t held an axe or a chainsaw in at least 5 years. I began getting myself in shape and used to working in the Texas heat by splitting 5’ long oak logs to have the wood we would need for the fireplace in the first tipi. It was very slow going at first but I kept at it. Then I found where it just felt right to build my tipi pad. Trouble was it had about 35 oak and Cedar trees standing there. It took me about 5 months to cut down all the trees, trim and burn the slash and haul the best logs to a sawmill to get lumber for shelves, furniture and a deck. I have enough cedar deck boards to build a 14’x24’ deck.

A Navajo elder in New Mexico sewed my tipi cover. I got my 30’ long tipi poles from Wisconsin. I picked up my tipi in March on my drive back from a ski trip in Colorado. I have been anxious about seeing the tipi standing in its rightful spot. During the week I mentioned that I wanted to put it up to check it out while talking to a neighbor. He and his wife volunteered to help me. They worked hard. I rewarded them with a dozen fresh homemade tamales.

I still have a lot of work to do in order to ready to host the first ceremony this October but I have new joy in my heart and spirit seeing the tipi all set up.

@GravitySucks  Tipi, also tepee or teepee, looks great.  You mentioned rewarding your neighbors with fresh tamales.  Did you make these?  Nonetheless I love tamales and I wish to procure some.  I used to work at a Tex-Mex restaurant that was family owned and the grandparents would come up from Corpus Christi and bring the tamales they made.  I easily could eat 10 of them.

By the way, I do recall the pics of the cedar planks.  I would so love to make some shelves, or a bookcase out of them. 

Anyway, I am glad you're feeling good about having it all set up and the impending ceremony.  You know I'm being sincere.  Cheers to you sir.  :)

Beyond happy @anniem   I don’t want to take it down, but this tipi is not made for constant extended use. It’s made of 10oz canvas, handmade with extreme love and devotion to the craft by a Navajo elder that has shipped tipis around the world for use by the community known as the Native American Church.

The tradition that I have been taught is that it is put up during the day of the meeting/ceremony. Normal ceremonies begin at sundown and end sometime shortly after sunup. I have only been to one that was shorter, most of the ones I have been invited to have been longer. Then after the meeting a big feast is prepared. As the feast winds down, the tipi is taken down and stored until next time.

The only time it stays up is if another meeting is scheduled within the next few days or if the canvas is wet from rain. You don’t want to store a wet canvas or it will get moldy.

The elder that sewed this tipi told me just the other day that he plans to attend my gratitude ceremony in October. This is beyond my expectations. He lives west of Albuquerque. It’s quite the trip for a man of his age to make.

I have so much to do and I ruined the front tire of my tractor today. Broke the bead and have to get a new one. I’m trying not to get too stressed about it. There is nothing I can do before Monday and the nearest tractor tire place is about 40 miles away in Waco. Have to replan my tasks for tomorrow. I hope they have one in stock. Last time it took me 2 weeks. I have no idea what I did to bust this one.

@ShayP I did not make the tamales. A friend of mine across the lake texted me to say his wife was making tamales and would I like to purchase some. I ordered 3 dozen. They showed up and had 2 dozen extra and talked me into buying all 5 dozen. They were supposed to be all spicy pork but they contacted me later and said they might have given me 2 dozen spicy chicken ones by mistake. These tamales are very good and much larger than you would get in a restaurant. I don’t have the appetite I once had, and it’s all I could do to eat 3 at one sitting. I’ve eaten 8 so far and they were all the pork ones. I put the rest in the freezer. These freeze quite well. $12 a dozen with a quart of her homemade hot sauce they she dialed up a couple of notches just for me.

I don’t plan on inviting Heather. As most people know, she and Aldous were friends before she got famous. She had been to his tipi grounds a couple of times but that was a year or two before I was invited.

Sitting up in a Native American church service that lasts between 10 and 17 hours takes a bit of a commitment. You are awake for the better part of 2 days. In the meeting itself you are kneeling or sitting for most of the night with a saddle blanket and maybe a pillow or two to sit on. It’s not something I could do every week.

It’s really sad that most ceremonies around the country (and even the world) that were scheduled for the last 16 months  have been canceled because of Covid. I went to one in the Rio Grande valley where the Peyote Gardens are in October and just took my chances. I’m traveling to Tucson in about a week and was supposed to attend a ceremony in the mountains east of there. I got the news about a week ago that it was canceled. There is still a reason or three for me to go so I haven’t canceled my plane ticket yet.

I had a colleague years ago whose mom would make them from time to time, and he'd take orders from them at work.  They were terrific - pork and chicken of course, but she also made sweet ones with strawberry.

There are a couple little Central America markets near me that have fresh made tamales in a steamer at the counter.  Turns out they are different from the Mexican ones - much bigger and a varied stuffing - potato, olives, peppers, and so on - and the Salvadoran tamales are different from, say, the Guatemalan tamales.

That sounds interesting, and something very different from what I've ever experienced.  What do they do for 10-17 hours, and does it involve (or always involve) hallucinogens, visions, etc, perhaps some oral histories, or other traditions?

@PB there are two different “branches” of the NAC from what I understand. Half Moon and Crossfire. I’ve only been in Half Moon meetings. Crossfire meetings are much more Christian in its traditions including scripture reading. Almost everyone I have met in meetings would say they are Christian if you ask them.

There is a set order of traditions that are performed. Peyote is passed around multiple times during the service but no one is forced to ingest it. It is viewed as sacred medicine. A sacrament.  I’ve certainly had visions unlike anything I can really describe. There is a lot of prayers and drumming and singing. A metal water drum and gourd rattle are passed around. One person sings while the person next to them drums. You can pass if you don’t know how to or don’t wish to sing. The songs are mostly in native tongue but English versions are sung or interspersed as well. I have not been able to learn the Native songs. It’s almost like throat singing in my way of describing it. I can’t get my brain wrapped around the annunciation yet. Tobacco (not in Crossfire) plays a major role in the ceremony as does cedar. While there are a set order of traditions the meeting is run by a Roadman who may go into details of oral history of some aspect of the ceremony about to occur or just completed. The Roadman that did my healing ceremony in April of 2019 has become a good friend. He will be the Roadman for my first meeting in October. He generally ends his meetings just after sunrise. But the people that attended my healing ceremony weren’t ready for it to end. After it was over they went back in the tipi, tied up a water drum again and went ahead and started singing and praying for about 5 or 6 more hours. I went back in as well to experience the people praying for my health and well-being and really just celebrating.  It had a very profound effect on me. Positive in every sense. I stayed in the area and attended another meeting a week later. I’ve only been to 6 ceremonies and 1 sweat lodge. I have been invited to several more but either couldn’t get there, or in the case of several this year I made plans to go but the meetings were canceled. There is always a chance mine could get canceled but I feel it’s going to happen. Many people have committed to travel from as far away as California, Arizona and New Mexico to attend. Not all of my new friends will be here. There are actually 2 or 3 people that have sat in every meeting I have been in except one I attended in Texas in the peyote gardens. My family won’t join me. It’s not for them. I do wish my son would take an interest. He has native bloodlines.

These are three very high level descriptions of a meeting.

I don’t plan on inviting Heather. As most people know, she and Aldous were friends before she got famous. She had been to his tipi grounds a couple of times but that was a year or two before I was invited.

SHE LIKED HIM FOR HIS TEEPEE BUT NOT HIS PEEPEE!

This is going to take some serious  commitment.

Utah bride dies in vehicle crash on the way home from her wedding

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/08/09/utah-bride-killed-after-her-wedding-car-crash/5539378001/

A 26-year-old Utah woman was killed on her way back from her wedding reception after a vehicle going the wrong way on a highway struck her car, according to authorities.

The driver of the Toyota pickup, identified as Manaure Gonzalez-Rea, 36, was arrested and taken to Salt Lake County Jail. Gonzalez-Rea is charged with a DUI, automobile homicide criminal negligence DUI, reckless driving and failure to remain at an accident involving death and theft, according to court records. Cans of beer were found at the scene of the crash.


I'm not so sure that alcohol use should be limited to home use. I doubt that will happen. But I hear, that on the horizon, is a requirement for new cars to have monitors that sense if you're driving poorly. But the Gonzalez-Reas of the world may not be driving newer vehicles when they gets drunk...

That’s supposed to be in the new “infrastructure” bill along with the requirement to be able to track all cars for “taxation.”

I had to contact my insurance provider.  She was very pleasant and helpful.  Solved my problem.  One thing she said, and I can only assume they are required to do so, is "What is your preferred language?"  Huh!?  :o  We both were speaking English so I was confused.  I replied, "Uh, English. That's what we're speaking."  She just replied "Okay" and then asked if I needed anything else, blah blah blah.  Typical customer service questions to end the call.

If I was on the ball and feeling witty I should've said I prefer one of the African clicking languages.  I've become used to going to ATMs or navigating voicemail services where I am prompted to choose Spanish or English, but I've never been asked that before by a person I'm actually speaking with.

There are some compliments men should never offer up to women. "I really like your leggings" for instance. If it's a woman that says it to another woman-"Oh! Thank you! They're XYZ Designer"
from a man standing behind you in the grocery store that you realize has been watching your ass the entire time you take stuff out of the cart- "Thanks"...... raising an eyebrow and making sure the cart stays between him and you.

This folder is paying off, look at all that Hungarian meat!
This was Budapest in the summer of 2017.
Wasn't there some Hungarian meat love going on around here by @ShayP and @Walks_At_Night ?
It seems I spent that summer taking pictures of empty arenas and meat all across Europe.

Ugh. @Walks_At_Night  I feel bad for you.  I'm going to dedicate today's dinner of bratwurst and weisswurst to you.  I'll have a couple of those with sauerkraut and some warm German potato salad.  Or maybe just same plain boiled potatoes.  Feelin' lazy today.

My mom was 100% Irish. She covered all meats with flour. With one exception -- bacon. Even her meatloaf was dusted with flour. Cornmeal is for moms from the south and Italian pizza makers. The pizza makers/bakers will dust the bottom of the oven with cornmeal before laying in the pizza @ShayP .

Cornmeal is for everybody! @FISH  ;D  Even Canadians.  ;)  Ever hear of Peameal bacon? (aka Canadian bacon)  The loin is rolled in cornmeal.  The stuff we get here isn't the real deal though.   :-\

I share the Irish blood.  I get it from my father's side of the family.  My great-grandparents were from there.  Actually I think one of them was from Cork, Ireland and the other from somewhere in Scotland.

I have cornmeal in my closest. I tried frying fish with it.  :(
My friends from the south told me that my oil was not hot enough, that is why the cornmeal did not stick onto the fish.
In the winter in Quebec city, breakfast would be served with eggs, baked beans, a square of FAT and a glass of milk for your bones. I have no idea what the square of fat was.  They did not serve Canadian bacon. I don't know if I ever had that kind of bacon. Pork roll? Yes!

Don Ecker pulled the plug on Dark Matters


Quote
Greetings all, this is an update on Dark Matters Radio and my current health status.

As most of you know, just about one month ago I suffered an accident at home where I fractured a vertebrae in my back. This injury laid me low like I would not have believed. I am still undergoing medical tests for the injury and at this point the progress toward recovery has been very slow. I will not bore you with all the ins and outs but the most painful time is in the morning when I first get up. Of course, with this injury I had to put DMR on hiatus. Also, DMR has almost always been a “one man band,” so tracking down guests and making arrangements has always been my job and with this injury . . .well I just could not do it. Now, a bit more about DMR.

My broadcast career goes back to the late summer of 1991 when I began. I actually preceded the Art Bell show when it came to phenomena radio. Bell was still doing satellite radio mostly talking politics when I started in Glendale Radio then on the Cable Radio Network. Over the years I broadcast on satellite radio, CRN, Liberty Works Radio, Patriot Brigade, Cyberstation USA and of course KGRA. I think it is safe to say I garnered a rather large audience in that time and my audience really enjoyed my style. One reason was, in my opinion, I asked questions but more importantly I questioned answers. I hosted some of the biggest names in the UFO and phenomena field, US Lawmakers, even Academy Award winning film Producers. (Robert Wise, “The Day the Earth Stood Still”). I loved doing radio and I always said I will do it until I no longer find it fun.

I would also be remiss if I did not mention that for most of those 30 years, I almost never made a penny doing it. I did it for the love of radio and the subject material. One fan gave me what I thought was the ultimate compliment for DMR. He said it was kind of like the Art Bell show … except it was for adults. I liked that.

Prior to KGRA I was on the CyberstationUSA Radio station for about 7 years. That was a good run, but like most endeavors … money determines how the venture will run. CyberstationUSA also suffered a shortage of money. Their equipment wore out and there was no money to replace it. I often had to pay out of my pocket to continue. Then KGRA came along. I began broadcasting there in July of 2017.

The KGRA content was spread widely over various services for the audience to download and to tune in. My audience was used to being able to get my broadcasts after they were placed in the various services. I have audience all across the USA and also in Europe, but they began emailing and texting me that my content was no longer available for downloads. What happened? At first, I did not know.

KGRA, like all podcast and radio stations, runs on money. KGRA was not bringing in enough money to continue. Since many of the broadcasters were now streaming video, the management felt that they could now charge for memberships for their services, so they removed the content from other services, and unless you tuned in live you won’t be able to receive the content until you become a member. I suggested that at least keep the audio available for a week or so after the broadcast so as to not lose the audience. This was rejected. So in effect, my audience for the most part could no longer receive my content.
Even though I am currently not broadcasting, I had to ask myself if I wished to continue with the show after I could finally come back. I’ve decided to pull the show at this time. I really enjoyed doing DMR, but now I think it is time to cease. You all deserve to know why I am pulling the plug on it, so here it is.
I wish to thank all of you loyal audience members for tuning in week after week. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did bringing it to you. And, who knows? … We all may be closer to an answer about the UFO/UAP topic than any of us would ever have believed. The best to you all … and who knows? Might I return at some point? Never say NEVER….

Don Ecker

I have a neighbor who purchased a John Deere tractor and another type of mower.  Some bush hog sort of thing.  In addition, he got a trailer.  I assumed he was going to get into the lawn service business since he also has a big pick up truck.  Nah.  Cuts his grass and just drives the tractor around the neighborhood for no damn reason.  It's 11:20 PM now and he is driving it down the street.  WTF?  Hell, there were some mornings he was driving around and I figured he may be looking for business by driving to homes, but no.  Just joyriding on a tractor.  Oh, and if I hear him cutting his grass again before 7:00 AM there will be hell to pay.

looking back 20 years.

Father Mychal Judge was a Franciscan friar and a chaplain to the New York City Fire Department. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Father Mychal arrived at the World Trade Center shortly after the first plane hit. And as firefighters and other rescue personnel ran into the North Tower, he went with them.

@Billy Joe Mulgreavey I pray so...that is why it bothered me so much.

Among the total people killed at the World Trade Center, only 59 percent have identified remains.  A team of five scientists continues to work with 6,314 fragments of bones found in the WTC area. The names of the people who died in the explosions, fires and collapse in the Twin Towers on 9/11 are known.

Veterans are often left with terrible memories. Our Gold Star families have their own horrible memories.  If an Armed Service member is 'killed in action" the next of kin is given 'a death file.'  I know of a Gold Star father who destroy his son's KIA file out of rage and grief. To be buried in one of our National Veterans Cemeteries you need a DD Form 214.-discharge paper work. The DD Form 214 has been issued by all military services since January 1, 1950. Before January 1, 1950, several similar forms were used by the military services. IF you are KIA, technically you are not consider discharged from the Service.

Detroit — As it seeks a solution to a battery fire risk, General Motors issued yet another safety recommendation Wednesday for Chevrolet Bolt owners: If you’re pulling into a parking deck, keep your car at least 50 feet away from other vehicles.

Not everyone is comfortable with public speaking either in person or online. I think she wants to get an early feel for who the non productive members of the team are. Sort of a preemptive measure..

LDS sees a great opportunity with Hispanic members. They've been going after them with fervor. The Catholic Church is the Mormon farm club.

Culturally, Latino culture is very much in line with Mormonism... Misogyny, larger families, willing to break the law, etc., etc.

The “horrible” smelling vehicle needed to immediately be sent for detailing, the dealership claimed. Damages were estimated at $1,300.

I lived in that apartment for a couple years over 20 years ago.  I don't really remember seeing any of them come and go, the building was next to our parking lot, with a fence between, and set back from the street, and I didn't even go that way much. 

I do remember a sign out front, and sometimes the front door was open and there were a bunch of people inside like they were having a party, but that's about it.

Before I lived there, I used to see them march around Berkeley chanting and banging on drums or something - I didn't pay much attention but I wondered where they lived, figured it must be fairly near the campus around Telegraph Ave.  I found out, that's for sure.

Did it seem like it was all men, or mostly men?  I think so, don't really remember.  I haven't seen them around at all after I moved out, and I don't think I even saw them marching around town 10 years before that.

In the San Diego area there was a Krishna Temple a short bike ride away in a community called Pacific Beach. Because of the George Harrison connection, me and a couple of Beatle friends went down there. Great food and really nice people.. I think there might have been one woman in the whole group and she didn't have the shaved head (remember that she was a strawberry blonde with really fine hair - this is 40 years ago!).  Also on the college campuses, I don't remember ever seeing women in the group.

Of course, like the Mormons who are extremely nice when just encountering them randomly, I think after a while of being close to them, they become more noticeably problematic.  I remember hearing about complaints by community members. I don't know what it was, probably noise. Come to think of it, parking was a premium down there so it was probably that.

When I was 7 I shot a good sized bat with my 22 from about 7-8" away. It was just hanging off the barbwire gate. It spun around about 10 or so times and then returned to the position that found it. No blood. No nothing. Freaked me the fuck out and I ran back to the house.

At my office when I lived in Las Vegas, a bat was outside the office doors. A few employees went through the lunchroom refrigerator and found a bunch of fruit pieces to feed it. They all got shots!

It was pretty cool to be in the desert like that. I'd be with the kids playing in a small community park and bats would fly overhead in the early evening. Pretty damn cool.

Check this out.  This is thousands of bats emerging into the night sky from the Waugh Drive overpass in downtown Houston.  They come out most nights, right at sunset.  It’s so popular, they’ve even built a viewing area for it.

Well, bats in Austin are expected, that's like the portal to Hades.  Another person that I know of, indirectly as it may be, an older woman was beat up by a homeless guy. Multiple bruises swollen eye, etc. She's selling her house in Austin and getting out.

Oh, you bet.  It’s a similar situation to Austin.  Highway overpasses with undersurfaces that have small gaps that are just the right size for bats to nest in.

I’ve been to the Waugh Bridge site and it’s quite spectacular to witness.  It’s right on Buffalo Bayou.

@spookcat Well the first graph shows the monetary assets of the United States.  Remember that without gold [or anything tangible] to back the US dollar, money is debt and debt is money. You can see that it took abourt 230 years to get to that 1,000,000 line in the year 2009. When it more than doubled and broke the 2,000,000 line. The Federal Reserve at that point tried to control it as you see the line go down for a bit but then up she goes again steadily until it stabilizes in 2015. Things get a little better for the next few years and then it skyrockets.  The second graph is also from the Federal Reserve and it shows the Money Supply of the United States - there used to be a broader statistic, called M3 but it got so embarrassing that the Fed stopped publishing it.  Shows the same story - 22 trillion in debt.  No way that will get paid off.  Guess it is kind of like a fat dude. He can have a number of painful operations on his heart up until he dies but try and extend life with a lesser quality of life or he can say screw it and pound cheese burgers and party until the massive heart attack takes him out. Our leaders have chosen the burgers, cigars and whiskey route.

The National Debt is well beyond that already.  After all the spending over the past year, t's nearly $29 trillion.

https://usdebtclock.org/ (https://usdebtclock.org/)


And this amount is just the debt issued and outstanding (Treasury bonds).  It doesn't include future Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare, federal pension payments, etc.  In addition to what the current deficit spending adds to the national debt, those future unfunded obligations continue to grow as well.  All together it's well beyond $100 trillion.

How many women Krishnas have you seen?

Vegetarian? Bullshit! Sausage fest...

Ok, yesterday I found out one of my friends had just dropped off food at the Hare Krishna hive.  I didn't even know he's a Hindu, he has a lot of interests but that didn't seem like one of them (he's from somewhere around Bombay).  He said he's not a Hare Krishna though.

There were plenty of mystics, pilgrims, swamis, yogis, sadhus, and ascetics in India, some had a handful of followers.  Now I'm wondering if Indians see the Hare Krishnas the way we do - as a cult - or are they just another Hindu offshoot?  Time for one of my intrusive polls

I asked him about the place being open to the community for dinner, and he said yes - every Sunday night around 7, and that lots of people come.

Free home cooked Indian food.  Count me in.  Now I just have to decide when to go.

I can add this about Puerto Ricans. We had a Puerto Rican family move in right next door - looking for better economic opportunity.  They moved in during the summer and moved out the following spring. Couldn't handle the winter here.  I think we had like one day of snow and you could still see the grass sticking out of the snow. Too much for them though.

I missed 22 home games for 2 seasons because of them and so they are the enemy.
It does not help my cause that I was living 2,800 miles away from those home games but let's not get into semantics.

Ok. Ok.....  How about I give you a chance to watch Troll for free?  It has Sonny Bono in it, from before, you know, him going tits up after hitting a tree.

Nice picture, PB.  In a nutshell, a mantis can slowly change colors, from green to brown and brown to green.  They can also turn brown after molting.  They spend so much of their time on leaves and vines, mostly greens on fresh plants and produce and and browns, to blend in with a drying, darker leaf, etc.  They don't change quickly like a chameleon, it takes them a little while to blend in. Very cool creatures, and I've yet to see one in my neck of the woods.  I set out some mantis egg cases but both of them failed to produce any baby mantises.

I've seen the green ones sitting on green leaves, and white ones after they molted.

The only reason I saw this one was because he was on the ladder and not in the leaves.  There may be quite a few around that we just don't see.

Yes, even their egg cases are hard to spot unless you just happen to notice one, usually on structures and fences.

I just watched Peter Cushing kill Christopher Dracula Lee again.

Reduced him to a pile of gray Duraflame Log debris.

You would think I would tire of watching it after all these years.

The quivering latex hand collapsing...

The silmultaneous facial expressions of horror, curiosity, & revulsion, which pass across Cushing's demeanor as he watches the Transylvania cookie crumble.

I wish I had Dracula's ring. You see, it remained behind, surrounded by swirling dust . . .

I think it would fit me.

I am sure of it.

You may have the silver candlestick holders Petey used.

Pretty good.  The first time I’ve watched it.  Hard to go wrong with both Anthony Hopkins and Ann-Margret.

The dang gone Comet showing kept locking up towards the end, which was frustrating, especially since I was recording it.  Hopefully, Comet runs it again this month, without the hiccups.

Have you searched around all those streaming channels like Crackle, Roku, Tubi, etc?  If it's being played on an over-the-air channel , it's probably somewhere streaming as well. For ages and ages Gunsmoke was only available on a subscription CBS channel for streaming and that has even ended up free on the Roku channel iirc.

@KSM

I have not viewed it 50+  times, but it will always be in regular rotation.

It was the first authentic  movie poster I bought and displayed on the wall.
I still recall the creepy television rollout commercials...

I'm a sucker for any ventriloquist dummy movie, both supernatural and psychological plots, but MAGIC is the one I can watch again and again.  And even though I know EXACTLY the moment when Duke "gets it," I'm always disturbed by it. And always disturbed by Burgess and Fats in the forest.  The story mutates briefly into hallucinatory horror more than once.  Like split seconds of weird Hitchcockian directing.

Greatness.

Yes. Greatness indeed.

First thing that got me when first saw the movie was the creepy harmonica that would fade in and out with various scenes. The film viewer then knows that the wheels are coming off the wagon and eventually..  I was se7en. *smiley face*

Favorite scene as if from a B-side  "we gonna be a staAAar" from the dressing room scene before things went to Ell the lake.

When real life ventriloquist Arthur Prince died in 1948, his dummy, "Jim" was buried with him. And mentioned on the marker:

Arthur Prince and Jim, died 14th. April 1948

@KSM  @ItsOver



This 1978 television commercial features Mortimer Snerd, Edgar Bergen, & Charlie McCarthy.

Edgar animated and voiced Mortimer but asked his friend Dennis Alwood to animate and voice Charlie.

Alwood animated and voiced Fats in MAGIC, and also portrayed a bartender.

Alwood also designed Fats and supervised fabrication! In the book, no description of the dummy is given. After Fats was made, Alwood got the author's feedback on how Fats turned out. Read the interview!

The studio wanted the public to perceive Hopkins was responsible for the voice and operation. In the credits, it even states: Fats - Anthony Hopkins.

This commercial came out the same year as the film.

Interview with Alwood about Fats, Charlie,  Edgar Bergen, Candice Bergen, & Magic author William Goldman:

https://www.vent-o-gram.com/post/dennis-alwood-the-interview (https://www.vent-o-gram.com/post/dennis-alwood-the-interview)

It is amusing to see Bergen NOT voice Charlie, but voiced by the man who voiced Fats! It appears Alwood also voiced the Parkay box.

Most excellent!  Back when commercials were clever and entertaining, as opposed to today’s annoying, woke junk. 

Another old movie with a dummy that I recently enjoyed is the 1964 “Devil Doll.”  Hugo is the stuff of nightmares.  Especially when he gets up and starts walking around.

Yeah. Brings to mind a Hillbliiy Jim story. It is a long, sorid tale but the crux of it was that I came in to work one day and he greeted me with a "WAN, have you ever had an Indian woman piss on you?"

I think @PolkaDot is into this sort of music thing.

I've learned a few things and have several questions:
1- I could have gone my entire life without seeing a woman piss on a man on stage.
2- I know without a doubt I can go my entire life without seeing any woman piss on any man, anywhere, EVER.
3- Is there some sort of kink signal this guy was giving off? I mean...he was into it...how'd she know?
4- I thought she was going for a push for a minute and things were going to go horribly wrong for that guy.
5- How bummed was he his GoPro fell off?
6- The absolute grossest part was - it was IN HIS MOUTH- *barf*

Tonight, a dear beautiful friend texted a pic of the shirt she got me in Daytona Beach at the ROCKVILLE event. This  was the 4th and final day of the magical chaos.

(And as far as I know, not one person trampled to death.)

Damn, I love stark yellow lettering listing a shit ton of band names.

I only asked her to get me a sticker or keychain of the event logo IF she saw one in the VIP area. One of the logos reminds me of a stylised spaceship.

She's always been a considerate over achiever.   

I'm going to wear the hell outta this shirt.

Not wanting to lug a hot tub across international lines we are happy that Jacuzzi wants to buy it back from us. The thing is saddled between a 7' custom fence and the house on a deck that I built for optimal privacy #naked. I was puzzled at how on Earth they will get the damn thing out because the only way out is UP and out and that is exactly what they intend to do this Thursday morning. They are going to lift it with a crane straight up and over the fence. This will be something to see and hopefully it goes off without a hitch and doesn't smash into the SOLD house.

Damn stressful when I think about it.

You'll be fine.  I'm sure the company will cover any damages after they chuck the hot tub through the side of your SOLD house.  No worries man.  None at all.

Apparently there is a hot tub shortage so demand is on our side. If they didn't buy it back we would have tried to sell it with the house but then it gets lost in those numbers and you feel like you gave it away in negotiations if there are any. BTW there weren't any. Negotiations

I have three large lamb shanks braising at 255 in the Dutch oven - in the oven. I seared them after room temping and rubbing down with very much White pepper, Black pepper, Seasoned salt, and Sea salt.
Then added from another pan some large cut mushrooms, onion chunks, and colored carrots that had been UBER FLAVORED with shit tons of rosemary, oregano, and other Greek seasoning.

It's all marrying in a homemade chicken stock for 3.5 hours.  I shall reconstitute the glorious bounty tomorrow evening after a night of time together in the fridge.

Dogface is gender neutral.

Japanese culture is that, in a tatami room at a hostess bar, the girls are on their knees while they serve/service the men (whose legs are extended into a heated hole in the floor, like a western seating position).

I should know better and not purchased the stuff that's wrapped for sale. @KSM   I typically get it at the counter where it's on ice and they wrap it in that fancy paper but there were too many people.  I was in no mood for people that day.  Come dinner time, as soon as I tore the plastic wrap off I almost puked.  The apathy expressed when I complained pissed me off.  I could've pressed it further but I said the hell with it.  I just won't go there anymore.

Just wear any grunge or metal shirts or hats. In fact no hats at all. They will embrace you to their bosoms like a long lost brother. Fuck politics

So shitty music on top of everything else up there.  It used to be a nice place.

So if PB refuses to answer on the grounds of not having any, what's your favorite music? Grunge clothes are jeans and a t-shirt. That's ugh? Throw on a plaid shirt and boots for winter. Calamity! What do you wear?

P.S. PB doesn't say anything about music. He just complains. As usual

Yes, he does tend to only complain and not offer up any listening alternative but I think he's on to something with his contempt regarding some of the music.

What do I wear? I got alot of stuff but ask me in a month and my answer will most often be slippers and housecoat. @TigerLily

Oh jeez...I sound like @KSM.  I'm not used to giving people shit!  Well, sometimes.  :D
Darling, @ShayP I am more than capable of using a vacuum cleaner but it does not mean I like to make an unnecessary habit of it! Also, don't ever agree with my Spousal Unit if we're in disagreement.  ;)

Today my brass group played at the meat store/BBQ joint.  They put us next to the gas pumps.  During our second piece, an old woman wearing a mask (Mask Karen?) did a face plant right on the sidewalk about 20-feet (6m) from us .  Blood all over the place from a probable broken nose.  Had to remove her mask.  Someone called 911, so we were bathed in diesel exhaust fumes from the fire truck and ambulance. At least we got free food.

Did you guys wreck the hotel rooms later and shove fish into women like led zep did in Seattle?  Also, you referred to the unfortunate woman as a Karen but you had no way of knowing from what your description tells us. Maybe she was cool, chill and down with the sound although clumsy.

I know an actual Karen and she is with much contempt over the new stigma attached to her name as she does not fit the Karen narrative. Karrative?

Like anyone can do anything there until that mud freezes solid. Last guys that tried had all kinda problems.

Omg for real? Unbelievable.  I've told this story a hundred times. Vince Neil's (whose real name is Neil Vincent) grandparents lived just a few houses down. We always knew when he was visiting. There would be a red Ferrari or black Lamborghini parked in front of the house. As an aside my brother dated the babysitter for David Lee Roth's dad's (who is a doctor) second family. She (the babysitter) gave my brother a pair of David Lee's hand me down Levis. Our rock roots delve deep. We were all a little crazy there. I think because of the smog. Some of the lucky ones had a little talent and only came back to visit

@TigerLily  You might find this interesting - it is an interview with Neal Beidleman whom was one of the guides up on Everest in 1996 when that Into Thin Air tragedy occurred and a number of climbers died. Apparently this show focuses on fishing and is hosted by a former Olympic skier but they branched out here and it was a great interview. The hosts know when to ask a good question and when to hush up and let the guest speak. Beidleman is an interesting dude - besides a great sportsman, he is an engineer at NASA.

Nikki Sixx is a saint.  He called all the companies that he endorsed (even clothing) and asked them to request all of their product back. He was getting divorced and didn't want to lose the gear to Kat (or whoever it was) and lose its promotional value to the companies. His management Century Media (?) even paid shipping back.

This can't be serious. On top of it, it wasn't even a series of good choices. The microwave niche is horribly placed too. If you are cooking that much, you are needing two dishwashers. That is where the real trend is right now. There are countertop ice makers that are available, or you put that in the garage only to be used when there's a large gathering. It doesn't seem genuine.

Oh my god @Walks_At_Night ! I loved this interview. I was attracted to it because when I saw the guys, I was immediately like "these are Boulder guys" so decided to take a watch, thinking I'd just watch a few minutes but stayed for the entire thing.

I had a personal reaction to this on a few different levels.

First, I was thinking about what we know as individuals, what we're comfortable with, and what seems normal in terms of social grouping. These three I feel like I've known so many like them- they're normal, they're comfortable, their stories are interesting and I've sat around bullshitting with these "kinds of people" over coffee or beer many times. I recognized them right away and felt interested and comfortable so stayed around to watch the whole episode- which, btw is outside my interest, so surprised me, Until I realized WHY I stayed. Because I felt comfortable and recognized them. This hit me particularly because yesterday I was listening to an interview with a man that helps navigate at risk youth and active gang members get out of that lifestyle and cycle. He called it violence interruption. It was a timely interview because we've had three recent shootings in Aurora involving high school aged kids (13-19). He told a story that illustrated how well he recognizes and relates to these kids. I didn't get it, I couldn't relate at all.

My second thought was how strange it is that people purposely put themselves in life and death situations outside of war or saving a family member during a natural disaster type situation. THAT part I cannot understand or relate to at all.

Yeah @PolkaDot - they all certainly just clicked.  It's a shame that Noory doesn't have the interviewing skills that the main host Andy Mills has. That particular video probably should have a lot more views than it does.  Of course my thought was that not only has Beidleman climbed Mount Everest, he has one more patent than I've got.  :-[  >:(

Sorry @Walks_At_Night the Jaguars are the worst team in the NFL.  There was once a proposal that during the week before the Super Bowl, the two worst teams have a playoff for the first draft pick.  That might be fun.  I’m not sure whether the winner or loser should get the pick. There would be fan advantages to each.

@JUAN Well that is why that last second Lions victory so soul crushing. It opens this subject up for debate. Looking at the schedule, the Jags have a shot at beating either Houston or the Jets. I think the Lions only chance at another win is against Atlanta.  However, there is danger of the Lions losing the coveted most hapless spot. 

BTW. Lions blue is the superior shade. Not so much due to the color but due to the name. Honolulu Blue is fun to say. Try it.

Not by the govt - that would be a disaster - by the fans.  Mostly by the season ticket holders, with some shares set aside for other local fans.

Green Bay has done pretty well with it, and they are the one small city that hasn't lost their team over the years.

Sounds even more like some kind commie sports bullshit to me now that you've splained it.

I listened for a bit @ShayP  He was discussing his time working at Bell Labs which devolved into a Randy Rhodes death bit. Church pretty much sounded the same to me.

What was interesting was the fact that Church worked at Bell Labs.  Everyone that I've ever met that worked there were pretty damn impressive people. Perhaps Church isn't the complete meat head that I thought he was?

Some stations use time compression to get extra commercials in or, if they're running long on another segment, like local news, sometimes they'll make up the time. There shouldn't be really much of a pitch shift but it's sometimes happens. Since I don't remember his voice very much, I wouldn't be a good reference point myself.

Title: Possible Snowflake Encounter. Or Just Bitch Encounter
Post by: KSM on December 08, 2021, 08:30:57 PM
For the first time EVER, in my life, I may have had a real live 'snowflake' encounter.

I'll take you back to Monday when I complained about the hotel gym.


Monday - 11:30 AM
As Mr. Wonderful (me) enters the poorly equip gym he notices a woman running in place on one of the five treadmills. She maintains a rather brisk walking speed. I had the feeling she had been at it for a while. Perhaps she does this for 60 minute sessions..
Here's the thing. When I see a woman (sometimes man) I will do a onceover to get an idea for what their particular fitness goal may be. Remember - I am a licensed personal trainer. I can't help it - I check everyone out at the gym. I'm curious but I am not looking for a date. Goodness, no!

First thing I noticed about her is that although she was quite fit, she was also somewhat bull legged from the mid calve down and those black tights only accentuated this. UGH. I began to scout out the dumbbell system for seated curls as I faced the large 6-18 mirror. I looked good. She then finishes her treadmill session and now she is about to turn around so OF COURSE I AM GOING TO LOOK AT HER FACE! Her face was one of a hard life, like a stereotypical biker chick whiskey face with scrunched up features atop a long pointy Howard Stern-like chin. UGH #2.  HOWEVER - she walks/struts like she's a supermodel clearly demonstrating that she has overcome something in life and now want the world to know about it. But that face!?

TUESDAY
I went down at 1ish PM. She was not there and I was alone. I did what I could given the lack of equipment to achieve my goals for the day.

WEDNESDAY TODAY
I arrive at 11:30 AM again and just as it was 48 hours ago there she is on the same machine. Within seconds she says out loud "You're kidding me!"  :o  Weird, but ok. I thought she was talking to the machine she was on as if it had malfunctioned. ? Hmm.
I begin to do what I began doing and and figured it would be ok if I play my workout folder over my small bluetooth unit. Not loud as it was easily quieter than the treadmill about 15 ft away. After the first song she speaks up again as if to yell at the treadmill. Weird.
Curious - I ask "is there something wrong with that thing?"

Her - "what time do you come down here every day?" REMEMBER! I was not there yesterday (Tuesday) while she may or may not have been.
Me - "I figure between 11:30 to 12:30?"
Her - "do you work here?"
Me - "ahh, no"
Her - "well I have to sit here and listen to your music" *resting bitch face* *resting recovering whiskey-pig face* *resting ugly tree face*
Me - "I can turn it off although I'm surprised you can hear it"
Her - "no that's fine"

By now it had dawned on me that she thought I was timing my workouts in hopes of gazing upon her.

I audibly wished her well in my own way as I exited after my 20 minutes was done. No reply from her.

This was the song that seemed to anger her. A great song to kick off anything.

Well told. I believe the lady in question is what we would have called "Coyote Ugly" in my day - as in you wake up with her on your arm and you would rather chew your arm off, rather than wake her up. I'm also rather fascinated at being "bull legged" from the mid-calve on down. Any chance of sneaking some creeper pix of this leg situation tomorrow?  Bonus Bart Bucks if you get a second one of the biker chick face howling in rage as she busts you for the leg pix.

The only thing that would make you love her less is if you were to watch her cover of Feel Like Makin' Love .
If you stay away from that you will forever see her as your little sex kitten that makes your pants do a happy dance.

There is this room on the main floor of the new place. It's a 12'6 - 15'6 bonus room with windows to the side road and windows to the street (corner lot) After much discussion over what to make of this space we have decided to make it a sort of theme room. Old distressed wood floors, walls, and yes, the ceiling which is 10' high so I will also install a few decorative 4-6" beams up there. This will be a cigar and whiskey room complete with suitable lounge chairs and other nice things. Going to pack as much character in that space as we can. It should be a very Christmassy room too.

Walls and ceiling, totally doable, I can do all that.
Dimmer lighting. Green stained glass wall sconces.
Red wine wingback cigar lounge chairs. Buttons on the backing.

Some nice things in that home but way overpriced, even with the water.  Your use of "stool" is not lost on me.

Right. Plus that water ain't all it cracked up to be. That is ground zero for fish fly central.  Besides for half that price you can get a lighthouse:

In my 'quoted' by you post I inferred that the scene in the pictured room was too bright. I was simply showing you the walls and ceiling. Gonna be a long, but fun, road to get every detail done right.

As someone who lives 50 miles north of the border, and used to have a girlfriend in a city called Tecate (yes, the beer is produced there), I can say in no uncertain terms that I don't like going to any part of Mexico. Even the legitimate locales and cities. Law enforcement, from the local level all the way up to the federales, is corrupt as fuck.

Having been raised in this area, people who were victims of Mexican drunk drivers were held for ransom at hospitals before getting real treatment. I remember the many stories of people dying from basic problems after an accident because the foreigner is always considered guilty. Proving your innocence, even with video backing up your story, is quite the challenge...

Had a girlfriend that would have me at her family's house and the bathroom was incredibly disgusting because they didn't flush toilet paper there. The sewer system couldn't handle it. At least they weren't on septic. And this girl's family, rich. He owned a shopping mall and adjoining strip malls.

From what I've heard, if one gets in an accident the Mexican police will assume the gringo is guilty and throw him in jail until the trial.

I would personally never drive in a foreign country, other than Canada and maybe a few other places.  I like that though, ''walk away and call this number for pick up''.  The voice of experience.

@PolkaDot
I'm not. It's Mrs. WAN's car and it is not quite *that* compact.

The next question is why is it so hard to buy a $211.99 battery for a not quite *that* compact car?  Order the battery online at Advance Auto's website. Closest locale is one town over - website states that the battery is in stock and will be ready in 30 minutes. Wait 30 minutes, drive one town over and pop in to pick up my battery. Talk to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour working behind the counter.  They look flumoxed  and go into a confab in back.  10 minutes later they come back and fess up that they don't have the $211.99 battery in stock and that I should wait a spell. I wait a spell whilst the Blue Comedy Tour gets on the blower with a different location. A deal is struck and I am told to go the location on Highway XYZ - which is two towns over. I am given a stack of papers that state that the Advance Auto that is one town over has blessed me picking up the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car at the two towns over location on XYZ Highway.

So I drive two towns over to location on XYZ Highway with my stack of paperwork given to me by the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. I go inside quite confident that just like the movie, I'll be gone in 60 seconds. I am not gone in 60 seconds. I talk to the Marx Brothers working at the two towns over location on XYZ Highway. I explain the situation and told them that the  Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys called over to ensure that the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car was actually in stock. The Marx Brothers huddle up and Groucho determines that niether Zeppo, Harpo nor Chico ever spoke with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys regarding the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car. Groucho also states that he Groucho, also never received such a call either. However, I am to wait while he Groucho reviews the paperwork that I received from the Blue Collar Comedy tour guys  regarding my apparently unobtainable $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car.  5 minutes go by. 10 minutes go by. 15 minutes go by. Eventually, Groucho returns and states that I must go to the location on XYZ Highway that is three towns over and that it is a balls up as even though the paper work that I obtained from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys at the location one town over states that I am to go to the two town over location on XYZ Highway to get the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car the Blue Collar Comedy guys had actually spoke with the three town over in the hood location on XYZ Highway.

So I go into the hood and arrive at the three town over location on XYZ Highway, walk in, explain the situation to Flavor Flav and hand him the paper work that was created by the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the amended by the Marx Brothers. Flavor hooks me up with the $211.99 for the not quite *that* compact car battery and I am gone in 60 seconds. However as I am loading the $211.99 for the not quite *that* compact car battery into my vehicle which is not compact at all, I notice a dude pissing in the parking lot. Flavor Flav has also notices this and he comes out with a broom and starts poking at the pisser with the handle while yelling not very nice things.

The shit ain't easy.............

Why is a battery for a Compact Car $211.99?

Are there any cheaper batteries specifically made for other cars but would work for yours?  As long as the voltage and all that is the same, and they fit the space your car has, they work perfectly fine.

Did the local U-Pull have any used batteries from crashed cars that would work?  At our local junkyard they were $10 last time I got one. 

Just don't tell the Mrs.

Are there any cheaper batteries specifically made for other cars but would work for yours?  As long as the voltage and all that is the same, and they fit the space your car has, they work perfectly fine.

Did the local U-Pull have any used batteries from crashed cars that would work?  At our local junkyard they were $10 last time I got one. 

Just don't tell the Mrs.

Solid advice. I didn't think of either but will remember next time.

@PolkaDot
I'm not. It's Mrs. WAN's car and it is not quite *that* compact.

The next question is why is it so hard to buy a $211.99 battery for a not quite *that* compact car?  Order the battery online at Advance Auto's website. Closest locale is one town over - website states that the battery is in stock and will be ready in 30 minutes. Wait 30 minutes, drive one town over and pop in to pick up my battery. Talk to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour working behind the counter.  They look flumoxed  and go into a confab in back.  10 minutes later they come back and fess up that they don't have the $211.99 battery in stock and that I should wait a spell. I wait a spell whilst the Blue Comedy Tour gets on the blower with a different location. A deal is struck and I am told to go the location on Highway XYZ - which is two towns over. I am given a stack of papers that state that the Advance Auto that is one town over has blessed me picking up the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car at the two towns over location on XYZ Highway.

So I drive two towns over to location on XYZ Highway with my stack of paperwork given to me by the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. I go inside quite confident that just like the movie, I'll be gone in 60 seconds. I am not gone in 60 seconds. I talk to the Marx Brothers working at the two towns over location on XYZ Highway. I explain the situation and told them that the  Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys called over to ensure that the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car was actually in stock. The Marx Brothers huddle up and Groucho determines that niether Zeppo, Harpo nor Chico ever spoke with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys regarding the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car. Groucho also states that he Groucho, also never received such a call either. However, I am to wait while he Groucho reviews the paperwork that I received from the Blue Collar Comedy tour guys  regarding my apparently unobtainable $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car.  5 minutes go by. 10 minutes go by. 15 minutes go by. Eventually, Groucho returns and states that I must go to the location on XYZ Highway that is three towns over and that it is a balls up as even though the paper work that I obtained from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys at the location one town over states that I am to go to the two town over location on XYZ Highway to get the $211.99 battery for the not quite *that* compact car the Blue Collar Comedy guys had actually spoke with the three town over in the hood location on XYZ Highway.

So I go into the hood and arrive at the three town over location on XYZ Highway, walk in, explain the situation to Flavor Flav and hand him the paper work that was created by the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and the amended by the Marx Brothers. Flavor hooks me up with the $211.99 for the not quite *that* compact car battery and I am gone in 60 seconds. However as I am loading the $211.99 for the not quite *that* compact car battery into my vehicle which is not compact at all, I notice a dude pissing in the parking lot. Flavor Flav has also notices this and he comes out with a broom and starts poking at the pisser with the handle while yelling not very nice things.

The shit ain't easy.............

LOL  ;D I feel like this wouldn't have happened if your wife drove a a *real* car. @Walks_At_Night

LA spans about 50 miles easy. There are parts I wouldn't go in with an armored tank ever. But there are very many cool and beautiful parts. It's the biggest big city literally talking mileage and population. For instance UCLA is in Westwood near Beverly Hills. USC is in the ghetto. Nasty area. You have to be street smart. Bumpkins beware

Hahaha, Olive Garden brings up lots of memories.

The last time I went there, my server was really bad. I had small kids at the time and he was really, really slow.

2 years later he's working in a cubicle diagonally away from me. Still slow, nice guy, but definitely lacking in some critical thinking skills and practical knowledge.

4 years later, he's Dana White's friend and makes a small percentage of all of their sales. The last I checked, he's some VP somewhere. The guy is stupid as mud, pleasant guy still.

I haven't been to an Olive Garden in something like 16 years.

My guess is they use fake cheese. The garlic they use is not natural. I'm okay with garlic when it's in clove form, I think they use like a batter that they mix in with the crust.

The locks at Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan connect Lake Superior to the rest of the world. They are closing for winter maintenance on January 15th 2022 at 11:59 PM. As such a whole bunch of shipping is headed down bound to avoid being trapped on Superior:

All but the M/V Paul R. Tregurtha which appears to be up bound, headed for one last run into Duluth, MN or Superior, WI to pick up a load of iron ore for the season.

Will they make it? Will they be trapped in Lake Superior for two months?  They are still slogging their way north on the Saint Mary's River and are not even to the Sault Locks yet. They have to transit the locks, cross all of Lake Superior, load iron ore and then head back down and exit the locks before the Army shuts them down for the year. A real nail biter if they are gonna try and turn and burn. Of course they might actually layup at Duluth for the winter.

Okay. @Walks_At_Night  I sincerely like you, and have wondered how (and why) you come across these gems.  I hated what I just watched from the first few seconds but I had to finish...and then watch it twice more.

I'm beginning to think you are a bad influence.

That being said, I will be going to Jet's Pizza soon. I DID NOT FORGET!  I will share my experience.  I just need to find the urge to drive to the shithole part of town it's in.  Don't get me wrong.  I have no problem with shithole towns.  I've lived in a few.  Regardless, once I get the urge, or wanderlust if you will, I'll order the four corner Eugene Supreme, or the All Meaty.  Perhaps I will post pics for your pleasure?  hmmmm...

Well @ShayP in this particular instance the flow went like this.  Someone mentioned that last nights Coast to Coast AM show had sort of a Steve Quayle vibe to it. Of course when one thinks of Quayle, one thinks of giants and the nephilim.  The nephilim thought lead to this famous clip where the uber hot Japanese lady in white slowly turns and lustily stares at the groin region of that nephilim:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


That particular footage was used in and inspired a film called Big Man Japan (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997147/) which I had never heard of. So in looking into that I found that scene where an entity that has an eyeball for a penis on a rope that it uses as a weapon is killed by having a cattle prod jammed up its butthole. So see - it is really a straight forward process. Hate to disappoint but you did ask. 

I sure hope that Jet's comes through for you. It's my fav chain pizza by far. Eugene Jett was a genius!   Your good buddy Portnoy liked it.

Big Man Japan was on TUBI or Netflix awhile back.  I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it.  It was filmed in documentary style and it followed a Japanese fellow who was pretty much a nobody until he was called upon to exterminate a variety of monsters.  When he got the summons, he would go to a type of power plant where he would be 'charged' and turned into a giant and then he would go fight the monster.  After the fight, he would shrink back to his normal size and would return to being a relatively unknown person.  Very cleverly filmed, and very funny too.  The monsters were quite offbeat, as that clip showed.  Actually, the first monster utilized a rather gross part of his anatomy as a weapon.  Still, a fun movie to watch, and I highly recommend it.

Was reading Ian Toll's book Twilight of the Gods (https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393868302) last night. The author was discussing general Haywood Hansell whom was known as 'Possum'. According to the author, when the general's wife was asked why he had such a strange nickname she said something akin to "Well just look at him".   I had to investigate and it would seem that it was a pretty reasonable handle for him.

This is absolutely true.  Years ago before we opened for dinner service, we pranked the servers on a dinner special.  We had a dry erase board in the kitchen and would change specials daily.  They had to write the specials down once they started their shift.  Our thought was it would be funny to have a Flintstone's themed dish.

One of them was Fruity Pebbles encrusted scallops.  We didn't pay attention and neglected to tell the entire staff it was a joke. One server was unaware.  Oops.  We received an order for it.  Awkward.  I didn't speak to the customer but she took it well and thought it was funny.  I found it amazing she genuinely wanted to try it.

Our first thought was that the server was pranking us back by placing the order.  Nope.

It really is consistent too, looking at invoices and seeing things that are supposed to be done that clearly haven't been done. A bunch of entitled pussies...

I even asked for a general manager to come out and walk through the lack of preparation on one car. He refused to come out.

Right now, they have an invitation for me to come back to the dealership and I am asking for them to prepay for my day. I'm actually asking for money up front before I even head out the door to them again.

I saw a YouTube video of Lincoln photos that they animated. After the shock that they did that, the problem was the animation motions were more of a 13-year old girl's version of flirting across the room. 

The video, forget the title, but had something to do with rare photos of Lincoln. It had a "deathbed" photo that did not pass the bullshit test. (Well, maybe... https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-ugly-battle-over-an-alleged-abraham-lincoln-deathbed-photo )

Wish I knew more about the context in this one. Little Old Bald Guy in his 70's versus Man Bun in his Prime. Soon as he starts pawing at his face and going into his stance it is obvious that Little Old Bald Guy in his 70's knows what he is about [turns out he was a silver medalist in the Olympics and former pro boxer with a good record]. Don't know if Little Old Bald Guy in his 70's was being a dick and lit Man Bun in his Prime up in what was supposed to be some sparring or if perhaps Man Bun in his Prime deserved it somehow. Guess once it was on he was screwed - he either gets wiped by an old guy or beats on an old guy.

I sometimes entertain myself by saying things at a lower level of volume.

There was a woman rocking a 1980s styled dress. Kind of like a big sweater with a scrunched up bottom hem near the knees.

So, joking to myself out loud, I said the 1980s called and was breathing heavy.

It not only was heard, it was responded to positively with a laugh. Her and her girlfriend.

I miss 1982.

I saw one recently in a small town, roped off in a grocery store parking lot in East Texas.

No one was paying any attention to it, which was weird.

I mean, it isn't everyday that you get to see such a thing.

Today, I suddenly wondered, do they publish their schedule? Can interested parties track a four-wheeled hot dog?

Received a phone call this morning from the wife, a close friend/neighbor we had on the Nechako river up north and it wasn't a good call. Said river has claimed a-lot of dogs and more than a few kids over the years and now can claim another dog (Duke) as well as my neighbor/friend, Ben - who may die himself.  Goldon  Retriever Duke chased a critter out onto the ice and hit a soft patch only to crash ass end into the sub 0 water. 85 year old Ben had to try and save his ol' friend by flattening stomach down out on the ice and it too did not go well.
Dog Duke fell through and was swiftly carried away under the ice as he, Ben, also fell through and was submerged up to his chest with just his arms atop the thin ice that kept him up. Fast forward as two other neighbors managed to save him with rope but only after he had been mostly submerged for almost 40 minutes. Now in the hospital and struggling for his 85 yr old life is he.  Duke was a great fellow and would often come hang out on Saturday mornings on out patio while we had breakfast and coffee.

We sold that house in 2020 after 11 years of weekend living and not once did I go more than a foot into that water. God, Damned, raging bitch of a river.

Sorry to hear about your friend @KSM. I went through the ice playing hockey when I was a kid. Playing on a retention pond where we weren’t supposed to be.  It took about 10 minutes before a high school kid laid down and pulled me out. His saving my life inspired me to always help others struggling in the water. I’ve saved about a dozen people as an adult. I’m never frightened during the save, but afterwards I’m usually a nervous wreck because some of them were pretty dangerous rivers.  I pulled one guy up from about 15’ under after he got knocked unconscious jumping off a bridge. I had no idea who it was.  He didn’t come up and I knew I had to go find him.  Years later (like 3 years ago) I was telling the story to a friend of mine I bobsledded with a year or two later. He told me he was there and it was a friend of his. He told me I had balls for diving in to save his friend.  It’s not fun.

@KSM Very sorry to hear about Ben and Duke. As an older dude, I guess I'd rather punch out trying to save my dog than to wither away in a nursing home for a year but it seems like he was in good shape for his age.

@GravitySucks Remind me never to get near any water when you are around. Years of living in Mich with water everywhere and I've never even seen anyone in serious trouble in the water. A record that I would like to keep intact.

@Walks_At_Night about half of the rescues were scuba diving. I had about 1000 dives before I got certified as a rescue diver. About 400 since. Ironically I never had to rescue anyone after I got my certification.

I’d rescue you if the need arose but don’t get your hopes up for mouth to mouth. I learned chest compressions are the key to survival. Mrs Walks can handle the m2m. After I’m done with the chest compressions, of course. I wouldn’t want to be distracted by a woman just trying to show her gratitude.

Yeah - the last CPR class I took they told us not to even bother with the Mouth to Mouth anymore.  I do have a CPR story.  Back when I worked at the old Island of Misfit Toys building there was this big old dude that caved in after lunch. Thank heavens that Hillbilly Jim and I didn't find him - if we would have, it probably would have went like this:

WAN: "You know Jim - that dude lying in a heap on the floor there. I don't think he is breathing."
HBJ gingerly approaches the carcass, then nudges it carefully with the toe of his shoe "I think you are right"
WAN: "Well now what? Do you think we should call somebody?"
HBJ: "F*ck! I don't wanna get involved with this shit but I guess we should. Call the damned meat wagon"

Fortunately a lady and a dude in our department watched him go down and grabbed one of those newly installed, fancy AED defibrillator's.  The guy got it hooked up and it did it's thing.  Meanwhile the lady did the mouth to mouth until the EMT's arrived. It ended well in that they saved the guy's life and he was kind of okay. However after they carted the guy off the guy that ran the AED told the lady: "You know there was an air bagger in that unit but you were pretty busy so I didn't want to bother you".  She had a conniption - "You let me mouth to mouth that creepy, old dead guy when there was a bagger in there? F*ck you!"

Wow. You've had your share of nautical experiences.  As @Walks_At_Night says, remind me not to be near water when you're around  ;D Glad all has worked out and lives have been saved.  My old neighbor opened his eyes this afternoon so that's the 1st step in the best direction. Tough old farm boy who became a district attorney for 35 years. I wonder if he'll take legal action on the river that took his dog. Hehe

This video, and @KSM's recent report that one of his old friend's dogs had fallen through thin ice makes me think about how irresponsible some pet owners are.  Once domesticated, letting a dog run in dangerous parts nature is not always smart. Dogs are as smart as a toddler, would you let a toddler without shoes run loose there?

Yeah, some people think of dogs as property, tools or a controllable living being (so they feel like a god)... My point of view is they're family.

This video, and @KSM's recent report that one of his old friend's dogs had fallen through thin ice makes me think about how irresponsible some pet owners are.  Once domesticated, letting a dog run in dangerous parts nature is not always smart. Dogs are as smart as a toddler, would you let a toddler without shoes run loose there?

It was Ghandi who said.. pretty much what you said he may have said.  :D

To your point - I know people who would save a dog before a toddler.  :-\

I once saved Henry from the very same river when conditions were warm. The fat fucker went down the embankment and could not get himself back up. He gave me a look as if to say.. "Eh boss, I think I may have fucked myself down here"

Yep.

“The greatest robbery on record was of the German National Gold Reserves in Bavaria by a combine of US Military personnel and German civilians in June 1945, A total of 730 gold bars valued at £3,528,000 together with six sacks of banks notes and 25 boxes of platinum bars and precious stones disappeared in transit but none of those responsible has been brought to trial.”

It was this entry that inspired British film and television writer Troy Kennedy Martin to write the screenplay for what became the film “Kelly’s Heroes.”

Great movie.  :)

Waiting for this thing to arrive today between 10 and 2 pm  ::)  My God, the shipping for this cost was bloody ridiculous. That said it weighs many stones so high shipping cost is to be expected but one reserves the right to bitch about it.  I expect it will take between 3 - 6 hours to put together.  This will be a great opportunity to throw on a classic Art Bell show or two and get in the zone as I assemble, assemble, assemble.

The angle versatility as well as the back support amongst other things. Also, if one is working out alone they have to be very careful as they do not have a spotter for safety and these allow you to lock the weight at any point in the range of motion. They are remarkable machines and mine is a combo - even better.  I love it!

Received a phone call this morning from the wife, a close friend/neighbor we had on the Nechako river up north and it wasn't a good call. Said river has claimed a-lot of dogs and more than a few kids over the years and now can claim another dog (Duke) as well as my neighbor/friend, Ben - who may die himself.  Goldon  Retriever Duke chased a critter out onto the ice and hit a soft patch only to crash ass end into the sub 0 water. 85 year old Ben had to try and save his ol' friend by flattening stomach down out on the ice and it too did not go well.
Dog Duke fell through and was swiftly carried away under the ice as he, Ben, also fell through and was submerged up to his chest with just his arms atop the thin ice that kept him up. Fast forward as two other neighbors managed to save him with rope but only after he had been mostly submerged for almost 40 minutes. Now in the hospital and struggling for his 85 yr old life is he.  Duke was a great fellow and would often come hang out on Saturday mornings on out patio while we had breakfast and coffee.

We sold that house in 2020 after 11 years of weekend living and not once did I go more than a foot into that water. God, Damned, raging bitch of a river.
 
Lesson here: LOOK AT THE RIVER, BUT STAY THE FUCK OUT OF IT!

Had a dermatologist appt last Thursday. I was told to take off all my clothes and put on the paper robe supplied but "don't tie it up because it's only going to be coming off"  Boy, she came in, put on the latex gloves and handled me like I was a new toy at Christmas. Couldn't believe it. Just, so matter of fact about grabbing, moving, manipulating things..  I'm surprised she didn't tie it into a balloon toy like the clowns do for the kids. At the end of it she had her assistant take full frontal pictures of it. I feel like I was the centerfold of this months edition of, Medical Playgirl Magazine.

Dermatologist? Are you sure that's who you visited?  ;D  But seriously, it reminds me of when I had a head and neck injury from a car crash years ago then ended up in the ER.  I was instructed by the nurse to take of my shirt, which I did.  The very attractive female doctor comes in then asks me some questions.  She says "I need you to take off your pants."  I was confused.  So I did and she said "also your underware."  It was like a scene from a porno.  I was never quite clear why my testicles had to be examined when my only issue was my head and neck.

Oh, wait.  Took pictures of "it"? What the hell man? @KSM

Dermatologist? Are you sure that's who you visited?  ;D  But seriously, it reminds me of when I had a head and neck injury from a car crash years ago then ended up in the ER.  I was instructed by the nurse to take of my shirt, which I did.  The very attractive female doctor comes in then asks me some questions.  She says "I need you to take off your pants."  I was confused.  So I did and she said "also your underware."  It was like a scene from a porno.  I was never quite clear why my testicles had to be examined when my only issue was my head and neck.

Oh, wait.  Took pictures of "it"? What the hell man? @KSM
Well your balls are connected to your neck, don't cha' know! @ShayP

Yes, one full on picture that I figure is for medical reasons. Not like there was sexy music playing or anything. Although the beer they gave me seemed a little unprofessional :P ;)

Are you sure this doesn't belong on the Dreams thread?
No. I explained the situation quite accurately. She, the main DR went at it like she was on a mission. She actually lifted it up to look under "it"   I was like, "well ok then." "fill yer boots, doc!" I WAS HANDLED!

I am supposed to cut back on vigorous activities for awhile. Like that's gonna happen.


How come all the medical people I ever interact with look like the Assman?

Any Tolkien fans out there?  Looks like in this upcoming Amazon series, the Elves are gonna be packing:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Question is what type of firearm will Eldar use?  I'm assuming they won't have squads of rifle-elf infantry, where every Elbereth, Cirdan and Glorfindel gets a rifle. I guess that they'll be somewhat rare - more of a squad type weapon.  So what will it be? I think it has to have kind of an old school look to it - not like a blunderbuss or musket but not like a modern SAW either. Certainly it can't be something used by dark forces like an MG42. I'm thinking the Browning Automatic Rifle [BAR] fits the bill. Got an old school look. Admittedly a bit big for slender elven arms but wow - great stopping power to rip up charging Orcs and Wargs with. Hell I bet a good burst of 30-ought-six slugs would even down a Cave Troll without too much bother.

Check it out:


The BAR is Steve McQueen approved too!

Seeing a number of TV commercials for Childrens sleep aids in the last few weeks and it is downright disturbing for what should be obvious reasons on several levels.

..and speaking of sleep aids; this place has really run its course and I'm sayin' g'night.


PS Little bit of snow, actually a thick frost on the ground this morning and the guy across the street spent the better part of 90 minutes removing it from his driveway with the average windshield ice scrape. You know the one - little broom on one half and the 4" scrape on the other. He spent all that time hunched over scraping the cement and then sweeping it off with the allotted broom section. I have snow shovels and they are like gold around here for winter conditions but this was hardly a case for a shovel. Less than an inch of Santa dust.

I did! stick my head out the door to ask him if he wanted to borrow one. A shovel. Snow shovel.
He smiled and waved as he obviously didn't understand what I was saying as English is likely his 3rd broken language.
Next year when it actually snows I will walk over and show him how to fish.  They seem like a nice family.














From the communist enclave that is gov Jay Inslee's Washington, I bid you g'night.  :P

Two strong Angels then grab them, hold them upside down by their legs and lower them head first into a vat of all the beer they ever wasted in their lives. If they subsequently drown, the hell with them.  This dude is gonna burn! (https://v.redd.it/ycpgbvho4hi81/DASH_720.mp4)

I have Railstream on my Roku. They've recently added Fullerton which is only interesting because an odd crazy person might be in the shot. I can't wait until they put up Martinez.

My favorite location is Chesterton Indiana facing west. I've seen some nutty things happen there.  There's a restaurant parking lot below the camera.

I don't think I've watched since Ukraine was invaded. I usually put stuff on this background while I'm doing other work to add ambience...

I found this article really interesting. Boring holes over 12 miles deep to tap geothermal energy. Boreholes could be placed literally anywhere on the earth. One of their concepts involves drilling near coal fired power plants and replacing the heat source for the steam generators from coal to super heated water. It successfully developed it seems to have significant advantages to solar arrays and wind farms. The infrastructure is already there at the power plants to tie into the grid.  Sun doesn’t always shine, wind doesn’t always blow, but the earth’s core will stay hot for a long time. Plus the geographic footprint is square meters, not thousands of acres. 

https://newatlas.com/energy/quaise-deep-geothermal-millimeter-wave-drill/

Greenies talk about solar being a green solution.  Maybe in the desert. In Texas I know of two solar farms being built out of forested land. Millions of trees cut down in one fell sloop.  At least one of them just pushed the trees into piles and burned them.  Trees that would have converted CO2 into O2.  Now released into the atmosphere as carbon. Instead of being a carbon sink. Solar farms don’t convert CO2 into O2 and they don’t last as long as trees do.

Here are pictures I took a couple of months ago (January) of the huge smoke plum rising from the site of one of the solar farms in central Texas. I didn’t look for satellite footage but the smoke plume seemed to be over a mile wide at the base and the smoke cloud was easily 60 miles across.

I guess there's one possibility if there's a whole bunch of lint or crap on it.  I don't know if that causes the beeping though.

Because how my house is laid out, it is hardwired and networked so the battery is strictly a backup in case power goes out, so if one alarm false triggers or has a dead battery, I hear beeping all over my dumpy house.

Amazingly, those networked smoke and fire detectors are cheap. I got the contractors grade in a plain brown box for $7 each.

I'm with you.  I ripped them off the ceiling and walls and they are long gone in the trash.  The heat of the oven would set them off.  I'd do a quick sauté and it would set them off.  Hot shower...set them off.  The people that previously lived here must've been paranoid.  There was a smoke detector randomly placed about every 12 feet.  In the bathroom by the mancave there was one.  Why?  It's the size of a small closet.  I can barely move around in there.  Sink, toilet, and a few feet of space.  Plus there was one right outside the door as you go up the stairs.  There was one outside.  YES. OUTSIDE!  These are the same people that put tape around lightbulbs, so clearly they were crazy.  I guess they thought the lightbulbs would just fall out of the fixture.  ::)

Well that's the thing.. It was quite cold outside about a week ago when I wanted to smoke a cigar so I figured I would head into the garage and smoke it there. Got up on the step ladder to remove the battery from that unit only to find that not only was there the ol' 9V battery but also the damn unit itself was hardwired into the house from the underside. Irritated and puzzled, I removed the battery only to find that the thing still gave off a BEEP every 60 seconds as if to say, 'hey shithead, don't forget to replace the battery otherwise I'll just beeep until the end of time'

Smoked away as I slowly became angrier looking for a breaker I could throw that connected all detectors for certain kinds of cooking days.

Not hardwired.  @KSM  Just the kind you screw in and put a 9V battery in it.  They looked very old.  I was taking a very hot shower and the thing was on the ceiling outside the door (door was open) and it started beeping.  My wet naked ass had to go look around thinking there was a fire.  Nope.  The steam set it off.  Or it was malfunctioning.  Nonetheless, they are all gone now.  I'll take my chances.

I say the repair guy was being pretty silly.  Although Sean made a good point about dust.  We do have blown-in fiberglass coming out through the bathroom fan, microscopic looking mists plus big chunks, probably due to mice in the attic from the field nearby.  I try not to use the fan.  The crap is horrible, toxic dust which could interfere with an alarm.  Most of the dust is caught be the tray-style light cover, which we've had to clean out every 6 months.  I don't know how scared to be.

Now I have the urge to binge watch Barney Miller again.

I had the good fortune of binging Barney Miller... I don't remember if it was Pluto, Roku Channel, Hulu or what, but I went back to see somebody's guest star appearance on it and they had pulled all the old episodes and added like a 6th and 7th year or something like that...

One thing I caught myself doing over and over was looking at a scene with a room full of people and realizing that Hal Linden and Max Gail are the only people still alive from that whole scene.

I also realize how they had two great women characters (one played by Linda Lavin) that they never fully developed. They lost Linda Lavin directly to "Alice." I think they left her name up on the roll call board for the rest of that year and even the next one, if I recall correctly.

I forgot about Lavin as Detective Wentworth.  I didn't realize most of the cast are deceased.  Since you mentioned Linda Lavin, I haven't watched an episode of "Alice" since it was on.  I may check it out again.  I wonder if it's held up over time.  I've revisited some other older programs that I enjoyed but they fell flat.

I really liked her character. She looked the part as well. There were a couple of other women officers. One white lady and one Latina. They never developed the Latina very much, I'm sure I googled her while binging, that's a favorite thing to do for me.

I'm not absolutely sure if this is the same actress, but I do recall there was a Latina or Italian actress that was murdered and I think she was a regular or a guest on Barney Miller.

I've caught a few daytime re-runs of Barney Miller through the years. Mainly when I was skipping had a class break. Recently on my beloved General Hospital Wojo played Sonny's (the gangster and main character) stepfather.  At first it was shocking how old he was but still had that boyish charm. Not too long his character was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He played the heck out of that part all the way to his death. I cried in way more than one scene. I believe he got a Daytime Emmy for the part

I do too! @Walks_At_Night  I'd have to make it myself because unless I went to a food festival, or some kind of church function where they serve food, it's not happening.  It's a dying dish and I haven't found a restaurant, tavern, etc., that has it on the menu anymore. 

Years ago there was a place 'dahntahn' ;) that had it and it was so good.  I swear they put drugs in it.  Alas, like most things...long gone.  :'(

Bikes are for girls!
Look at Lance Armstrong.
He had two functioning balls before he ever got on a bike.
Gets on a bike and BOOM, balls gone!
If you are not a girl before you get on a bike the bike will make you a girl in the end.

Quote
"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.…We can make it work with only one squareper restroom visit."

Crow acknowledges there could beoccasions when the one-square limit might not suffice, such as "on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required."

She writes that when she presented the idea to her younger brother, he went a step further, suggesting that people could "just wash the one square out."

He's booked for two shows at Seattle's CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA (how's that for a name)  ;D, May 2 and 3.

Went to see Gordon Lightfoot around 2014 and his voice was completely gone. Was actually kind of sad. Not my speed for tunes but the tix were free. He sounded like a quiet Donald Duck or extremely thin scratchy version of himself. Some left at various points throughout the show but most stayed just to be.. polite, perhaps.

I would add that keeping them in the refrigerator keeps them fresh for an extra few days.  Also, if you only eat half, leave the pit in the other half and putting a thin layer of mayonnaise on the exposed remaining part will keep it from oxidizing for a day or two.

Yep, all good ideas.  And if you want them to ripen faster, keep them enclosed in a bag, like a paper one.  Damn fine eating and for more than just making guacamole.

Yep, or lemon juice is recommended to deter oxidation.

To ripen quicker, they say put them in a bag with an apple or a banana.

My father used to cut them in half, pull the pit out, fill each half with French dressing and eat them with a spoon. Never understood how a German from Chicago developed a taste for avocado and French dressing. I can’t stand either avocado or French dressing.

They go great with mayo!  I eat 'em in sandwiches - bread, avocado, and mayonnaise, sometimes add tomatoes (which also make good sandwiches just by themselves).

Avocados are also terrific in soups, add slices just before serving.

Oh yeah.  On a sandwich with mayo, and with soups.  We used to make a cold soup in the summer at the café.  But just scooping out globs of mayo with each slice... 

I'm talking heaping helpings of mayo.  He would eat 2 avocados and finish a small jar of Hellman's with it.  Sometimes he would sprinkle Old Bay seasoning on it.

@Walks_At_Night For $700k here you could get a house on 60 acres. But you would have to forget about paying state income tax. I know someone that is selling a 2008 Mahindra 4x4 30hp tractor with front end loader, brush hog and box blade for $11.5. Less than 400 hours.  You can keep it at my place until you close on yours.

A little research shows that it is worth about $2.28. So much for that potential windfall. Can't even get a gallon of milk for it.

The Vegas Valley is on an aquifer. If I recall correctly, they pipe that water to the reservoir. If they're still doing that, they're just exposing it to more evaporation.

I've been thinking about this food shortage thing for years.  We have enough quality can goods live eat well for about 18 months. We could stretch it to 24 but I might get cranky.  Also, portable solar kits to keep food frozen ETC.

Looking at the long-term weather forecast for central BC this summer. What happens up there happens all the way down the continent. Things do not look good. Really hot and really, really dry from June THROUGH July. This does not bode well for California and the entire North American west coast.

I was speaking to my uncle who works at the EWMB (Evil Weather Modification Bureau) and he told me in so many words that they're really crankin' it up a notch this Fire Season.

The adrenal crash/detox you suffer for the first few days is nothing short of brutal as you are drag-ass throughout the days and require naps. Many naps! Did this once before but that time I slowly weaned myself off the caffeinated coffee over two full weeks as I slowly added larger amounts of decaf beans to the brew.

I've never bought coffee to bring home, or ever had it in the house.  I drink it at work because that's what they have, and same thing at a coffee shop.  I like it ok, coffee flavored candy and ice cream is fine - it's not chocolate, but it's ok.

I'm not sure it affects me.  I'm fully awake when I wake up, and don't notice any effects on days I drink it.  It seems like I could drink a gallon of it and go right to sleep.

I've dated some women that were really crabby in the morning though, ''don't talk to me until I've had my coffee'', lol.  It seems like one sip and they're awake and fine.  How is that even possible?

Anybody ever change a flat tire on a Toyota Tacoma?

With my luck this thing will last forever.  First flat tire.  Last night I get back from the store and notice the rear tire is going flat.  The spare is under the truck bed and I have no idea how to get it out, so I watch a video on YouTube.

Turns out there is a kit under the back seat on one side and the jack under the other back seat.  The kit is 3 rods that link together, with a hook on the end.  It ends up being over a yard long.  You stick that thing through a tiny hole above the rear license plate until it reaches a hole the end of the hook is supposed to fit into.  Better put in straight, or it's not going to work.  The hook isn't to grab onto anything, you put the far edge of the hook into a slot, and then begin cranking. 

I swear I'm not making this up, and it's not a euphemism. 

Cranking it lowers the spare, which is then dangling from a cable that the cranking action is unwinding.  When the tire is on the ground, pop out the piece of metal in the middle, turn it sideways, pull it through, and the tire is free.  Then reach in with the hook and pull it out from under the truck.  Easy enough, it only weighs about 1000 pounds.

Then jack it up and do a change with the flat 1000 lb tire and the spare 1000 lb tire.

All I have to do now is take the flat in to get it repaired, swap out the spare, and figure out how to get the spare back and secured under the bed.

God damn.  That was their best idea?  And its all Tacomas going back at least 20 years. 

So what happens if you're out in the middle of nowhere with no YouTube?  Or next to a freeway with cars whizzing past at about 80 in the dark? 

I guess I could have waited for the 20 year old AAA guy to tell me he didn't know how to do it.

My 4Runner has that same system...  When I was looking at used ones, I noticed many of them had sun damage on the part of the spare tire that you can see from the back. I don't know if it's like that on the trucks, but something to be mindful of.

That's correct, not on that model.  But I did change one on a Toyota small truck, which uses the same kind of spare tire system, as do most trucks.  It was not particularly difficult, but then again I didn't have to yell at passing clouds.

It's simply awful that the maker didn't take your feelings into consideration.  I feel terribly for you right now.

I ran into a similar Bolshevik-engineered “feature” while doing an oil change on my F-150 a few weeks ago. I got the oil change done easily enough but couldn’t for the life of me find the dipstick to check the transmission fluid and to spurt in an additive that I had purchased. Had to search YouTube. You have to crawl under the vehicle not once but twice because the damn thing is covered with a bulbous looking cap with a nut like shape that requires a deep socket that wasn’t included in my overpriced metric socket set so I had to find one in my impact socket set. You remove the bulbous nut-like thing which serves as a type of dust cover. The dipstick itself is only about 3 inches long and is made out of some type of plastic with an o-ring. Luckily I didn’t damage the o-ring. The additive came packaged in an oversized hypodermic plunger type device not unlike the plunger you get when you order ivermectin horse paste. The fluid level must have been full because it started dripping out once I squirted the additive in. So I never actually checked the level on the dipstick. I envisioned @Walks_At_Night sitting in a lawn chair laughing at me while he was sipping a PBR.

Are those the California throwback yellow lettering on black plates?  It was a sad day when they switched to yellow on blue, and then blue on white.  The new yellow on black don't quite look right though, too shiny and new since we've only seen the older scratched, bent, and faded ones on old cars for so long now.

The color is also off, it used to be a brownish black. Maybe like licorice with sunlight on it. Now, they're black. Part of that is for higher contrast as California license plates are now being designed for optical recognition. I saw a black and white California plate that appears to be a new custom design. They look really sharp on white Teslas.

Going back to the optical recognition stuff, plates no longer have a pattern that a human could easily remember (85C24T3 vs. 8ATE888). They are more jumbled, but it doesn't matter because a computer's reading it.

You’ve never tried to mix cement, sand, and lime in a wheelbarrow with a hoe, then had to get the concrete out of the wheelbarrow.

It is also difficult to get the hoe to shut up about having to climb into the wheelbarrow.

Me? Yes. It's been a while. I used a shovel instead of a hoe. I found washing the wheelbarrow afterward bothersome.

Any relief @ShayP?  If not this might help. I've recently had a bout with it and these Celebrity Bowling episodes from the 70's have helped.
Leslie Nielson and Susan Saint James versus Lloyd Bridges and Angie Dickinson.   That is actually a good match - some times there is a Ruth Buzi versus Fannie Flag snoozefest.

Ha!  Reminds me of Bowling for Dollars.  I think they showed that in your neck of the woods back in the day.  The Pittsburgh host was Nick Perry.  He also did the lottery drawings but was rigging it.  He was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Thanks for asking. @Walks_At_Night  It's still a struggle.  Last night was good.  The previous three, no.  About three hours per night.

I figured you'd have experienced the glory of Bowling for Dollars.  Anyway, Nick had his flunkies inject the numbered ping pong balls with water.  Then they would play the numbers of the balls that weren't weighed down.  Naughty naughty.  They got busted and threw him under the bus as the ringleader.

Title: A Little Concrete Tale
Post by: Walks_At_Night on June 05, 2022, 08:15:39 PM
                           A Little Concrete Tale
For @ShayP

There was a kid on our block named Raymeo - pronounced Ray-Me-Oh. I never knew a Raymeo before they moved in katty-korner three houses down and I've never met a Raymeo since then. He was not a well liked kid - quite frankly he was a little prick. An Eddie Haskell type around adults and the kind that would throw rocks at squirrels or burn insects with a magnifying glass just for the hell of it. He also would never shut up - just a constant stream of consciousness babble would emanate from his mouth. "Blah blah blah blah woof woof woof" in a never ending stream.

Our neighborhood was pretty close to the one depicted in Clint Eastwood's movie Gran Torino - except that it was in its full glory at that time.  Almost to a man, the Dads on the street were WWII or Korean veterans. Everyone was of either Polish or German descent and all the Dads had factory gigs - most of them with one of the Big Three [Mine being an exception as he worked for General Electric].  All the homes and yards were meticulously maintained and kept in first class condition as a matter of pride. Well except for the dude that lived on our side of the street four houses down. It was not a shit hole or anything but was a tad run down. Some slack was cut because the guy that owned it had a rough time in the war and had periodic bouts of "The Blues" where he wouldn't keep the house or yard up. He was in the Philippines at the time the big one kicked off and the Japanese captured him and apparently tortured the shit out of him for the duration. He was bit off - he never got married, just worked his gig down at Dodge Main and tried to keep it together as best he could. The Dad's on the street were sympathetic.

Then Raymeo's family moved in. The Father was a small, mousy little feller who didn't have a factory gig. He sold ovens and washing machines down at the Highland Appliance. Raymeo's Mom. Hoo boy. She was something else. Their family was not either Polish or German, but rather Albanian or some Adriatic sort of place like that. You have probably heard of "olive skinned" individuals from that region of the world. She was above and beyond that - I swear she was greenish. Not a swarthy complexion but sort of a light "Santa Claus Versus the Martians" kind of green. Freaky. She was also a big woman. As wide as she was tall - kind of a massive, fireplug type of build. Her voice was a booming contralto - and it would pierce the air like a knife and seemed to carry for miles. If she lived in NC, she would be a strong candidate at the hollering contest held down in Spivey's Corner each year.

To say they did not fit in was an understatement. Yard and home maintenance were things that held no interest to them. The immaculate home they had purchased went downhill  at an incredible rate. It was so bad that the guy that lived next to them planted a hedge. He fertilized it and watered it diligently and before long it was an impressive barricade - tall and thick and impervious to Albanian slovenliness.  We had a great view of the "High Hay" from our dinner table. Dinner for us was pretty regimented. My Old  Man got home from work at about 4:30 everyday. He performed maintenance on and repaired blast furnaces and some days he came home looking like a West Virginia coal miner - just covered with soot and grime. So there was a little delay to give him some time to get cleaned up but Mom always had dinner ready to go at 5:15. We were eating once when Dad was like "Holy Jesus. Lookatthatshit! She looks like a Sherman tank struggling through the hedgerows in Normandy". Sure enough, Raymeo's Mom was trying to fight her way through the neighbors hedge and was losing badly . Of course we three kids just busted out laughing while Mom made Mom type noises while stating that it wasn't funny and that we should shush and mind our own business.

The Albanians had no set schedule for dinner so whenever it was ready,  it was ready. It might be 5PM or 6PM or 7PM. So that meant that when it was time,  Raymeo had to  be called home to eat if he was out and greasing about. This is where that big contralto came into play: "Raaaaaaaayyyyy-Meeeeeeeeee-Oh. Raaaaaaaayyyyy-Meeeeeeeeee-Oh. Raaaaaaaayyyyy-Meeeeeeeeee-Oh." would boom out across the early evening quiet. It had a grating quality to it and one never could get used to it.

So the stage is partially set before we get to the concrete but there is just a tad more background. While most definitely not an absolute a lot of the ethnicities tended work in certain jobs.  The blacks, germans and polish quite often worked in a factory. The greeks owned and ran restaurants along with the party stores and arabs ran many of the small businesses - dry cleaners, tailors, stuff like that. The italians ran the fruit stands and dominated the brick laying, concrete and stonework business. If you needed something along those lines done, it was for certain that crew of guys whose names ended in vowels would be involved. So it happened one day where a guy down the street was getting a new driveway poured. Big event for the kids in the neighborhood! We were all down there watching the action. The paisans were in full Good Fellah's glory - short, stocky guys with bushy mustaches and thick accents. They were yukking it up with each other as they worked and were having a splendid time. Splendid that is until Raymeo showed up. He instantly went into his schtick. Just being a pest - flying them non-stop. "blah blah blah".  Finally Pietro had enough. With lightning speed he filled his trowel with some 4,000 PSI and with a flick of  the wrist sent it on a majestic arc flying through the air on a rainbow trajectory.  PLOP!  Right in Raymeo's earhole. Direct hit. The effect on him was electric  - "WAAAH I got cement in my ear. Help me!  WAAAH! I got cement in my ear". Of course none of us kids were gonna help him  - even if we knew how. I mean what do you do with an auditory canal full of wet cement?  The paisans were not sympathetic to his plight either: "Ahh. Pietro. Bellissimo!"

Raymeo slunk off home wailing all the way- I guess they had to take him to the ER to get all that shit out hosed out before it hardened. I suppose it really isn't much of a story. I thought it was a hoot at the time but now that I look back, it is pretty messed up to jam a kids earhole with wet cement.

@Walks_At_Night  I have to say that your post is a masterpiece and I thank you for it.  No bullshit.  I felt I was reading a page out of a of a novel.  I visualized everything.

You spoke of the booming contralto.  I worked with a woman from Armenia that had that.  You could hear it through the walls.  The description of the woman you spoke of calling for her son, Raymeo!, brought back memories of when the mother of a kid named Bobby would yell his name around dinner time every day.  Sounded like "Baaahwby!" Over and over again.  She had to be blocks way because nobody ever saw her.

It is messed up to fill a kid's earhole with cement but, ya know...some times it's necessary to handle things in a certain way.  I bet that kid was suffering because that concrete gets hot as it dries.

Glad to see the traumatized dude that had "the blues" got some slack.  It's good to be in a community where people back off and empathize due to circumstances.

We're both Rust Belt guys, but it seems you had a nice little neighborhood.  Mine was to an extent, but it was just concrete and row houses.  Go to the park or the hillside if you want to see grass. 

Do you know whatever happened to Raymeo?

"Baaahwby!" LoL Shay. I guess bellowing Moms were a universal constant of the time. No more though - now a text message would be sent if the kid was somehow let out of sight. Also guess I was lucky to grow up on a pretty good block. I know what happened to some of the kids on the street but not Rameo. He has younger than I was and we moved like three days after I graduated from High School. GE forced my Dad into early retirement when I was a Sophmore [ early with 43 years of service!  They did give him credit for when he joined the Navy after Pearl Harbor for his war time]. No complaints though - GE paid his pension for over 30 years. Neutron Jack Welch sold off the division he worked at so it worked out well. It was nice of my folks to let me finish school before moving to Northern Michigan.

Sean - I did a quick search but came up dry. The neighborhood bad boy took a shotgun blast while robbing a party store. Another started working construction as a grunt and now runs his own company that builds custom homes. The gungho kid who would go around saying "Kill a Commie for your Mommy" and wanted to meet Ivan in the Fulda Gap joined the Army as an elisted guy, won a West Point appointment and had a great 35 year career in the Army. He is now a consultant up in D.C. and is a jillionare from it. The girl from next door had four children from four different men/marriages and I guess has had a really hard time of it. Another is a mailman, while from what I hear another took the Senda route and got on the disability after a string of firings. I guess as sluggo the engineer I ended up in the middle of the pack.

As always thanks for the encouragement TigerLily. Maybe I will try and write that book when the company kicks me loose. It is just something that I play around with once in awhile but I've seen some strange shit working here all these years. Thought it was over late last year but I squeaked by after being furloughed for awhile. Suppose I should do a Red Heat update one of these days.

Walking on Hot Coals: A Company Event Goes Wrong

Quote
Walking barefoot across hot coals, an ancient religious ritual popularized in recent years as a corporate team-building exercise, has once again bonded a group of co-workers through the shared suffering of burned feet.

In the latest case of the stunt going wrong, 25 employees of a Swiss ad agency were injured Tuesday evening while walking over hot coals in Zurich, officials said. Ten ambulances, two emergency medical teams and police officers from multiple agencies were deployed to help, according to the Zurich police. Thirteen people were briefly hospitalized.

“We very much regret the incident and we are doing everything we can to ensure that our employees get well again quickly,” Michi Frank, the chief executive of the company, Golbach, said in a news release. The company declined to provide more details of the event.

*giggle* looks like Shay may have had a better vacation than I did.

I can't count how many times you see a gaggle of "women of a certain age" doing these ridiculous poses while another one films it...or sometimes it's the poor tool she may or may not call a boyfriend doing the filming. My favorite is the running while looking back at the camera pose. SO natural.  ::)

I got my big screen at Sam's a few years ago, after Thanksgiving.
I needed to know the exact placement of the supports for a stand I already had.
Having the TVs on display on "the floor" helped.
Best Buy had a lot of their TV mounted up on a wall, and not easy to measure such things...

Wendy and her black electric taped nipples didn't miss a beat and went into the next song.

@Camazotz Automat Are you scared of puppets, really? Like for real?  I am petrified of midgets little folks. A band that I was in years ago once played at some biker bar where all the sudden there was a group that had a lil person with them on the dance floor. She was what I would assume to be "hot" in a midget sort of way. The normal sized folks handed her around to each other as they danced for several songs. I was frozen on stage as I watched the little chick in her black leather biker jacket with all the zippers n' stuff. And her long swayed and flowed as they handed/passed around as she danced in her own sort of way while being held like a doll. Almost like a restless baby that made humping motions while being held by dancing moms and dads.

..I just don't fuckin' no anymore.  ::)

https://apnews.com/article/boris-johnson-resignation-60da3c4b29a4e9c93c7db9f53034ad0e

LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation Thursday amid a mass revolt by top members of his government, marking an end to three tumultuous years in power in which he brazenly bent and sometimes broke the rules of British politics.

Johnson stepped down immediately as Conservative Party leader but said he would remain in office as prime minister until the party chooses his successor.

He managed to remain in power for almost three years, despite allegations that he was too close to party donors, that he protected supporters from bullying and corruption allegations, and that he misled Parliament about government office parties that broke pandemic lockdown rules. He was fined by police and survived a no-confidence vote in Parliament.

Deep philosophy to giggling at the absurd. And being absurd ourselves. Grab your favorite beverage. Settle into a comfy chair and chat. About whatever

Any thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? Stupid idea? Waddaya guys think? I'll check back later to see if there is any interest

@Camazotz Automat Are you scared of puppets, really? Like for real?  I am petrified of midgets little folks. A band that I was in years ago once played at some biker bar where all the sudden there was a group that had a lil person with them on the dance floor. She was what I would assume to be "hot" in a midget sort of way. The normal sized folks handed her around to each other as they danced for several songs. I was frozen on stage as I watched the little chick in her black leather biker jacket with all the zippers n' stuff. And her long swayed and flowed as they handed/passed around as she danced in her own sort of way while being held like a doll. Almost like a restless baby that made humping motions while being held by dancing moms and dads.

..I just don't fuckin' no anymore.  ::)

@KSM

Puppets are kind of like ouija boards.  They don't bother me in real life, but if used correctly in a movie,  can give me the creeps, like in MAGIC, or the little black doll in TRILOGY OF TERROR, or the dummy in DEAD OF NIGHT which truly ticked with my fear factor as a kid.

I used to collect Ouija boards.  I even bought one from the owner of the  Museum of Talking Boards.  So they obviously don't bother me, but in some films I will feel a sense of dread if the director paces it right.

I was fascinated by midgets, dwarves, and little people as a kid. Some of that was strictly Wizard of Oz imprinting I think?

MAGIC, is my favorite movie of all time. First saw it on TV when I was 8. Captivated was innocent little I.
I saw Trilogy Of Terror around the same age, and that damn voodoo doll looked like it was alive! Damn tenacious too. That thing just, wouldn't stop! Starred Karen Black, correct? @Camazotz Automat And speaking of Trilogy OT, did that one have a story with a hole in the ground tale? I think i'm wrong on that one.

In April 2021, she was accused of pulling the fire alarm at a Mesquite hotel after staffers refused to extend her stay. When police asked for her address, she allegedly gave that of Chris Brown’s mansion.

In October 2019, Odufuwa allegedly set a house on fire, but the Dallas County District Attorney’s office declined to press charges due to a lack of scientific evidence. After telling police she was “responsible for the fire,” she said she had set the blaze because “I am God’s prophet,” according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Morning News.

She also allegedly told officers that she wouldn’t say anything else until she talked to Brown, who she identified as her husband.

I will have to Google TOT to be sure, but I do not recall  a hole in the ground story. That is another one of my favorite tropes though, the gate or entrance to the underworld - either paranormal or hollow earth science fiction. Caves, gates, Lovecraft dimensional rips.

Freud might say it is a womb-seeking thing. I'm more to thinking of it as Jungian subconscious symbolism .

Got clobbered last night by the parkade arm thingy that lifts up to let cars through and then closes for the next car to pay their entry fee. It came down right on my face, and if not for macho-hunky-pride I would've fallen like most men. What did I do? With blood trickling pouring down my face into my mouth and on my nice shirt, I still took Vera for her night walk!! When I got home and checked the damage I realized that I likely needed stitches. Fuck-it, I got Alo vera. Alo.. VERA!

HEY! SEXNOSE! I didn't have any superglue BECAUSE eye I HAVE YET TO GO SHOPPING FOR SUCH rare used things. But I had duct tape and toilet paper (for a Band-Aid) with the aforementioned creams and ointments. 
So I'm all good there, Slitbox! Thanks for the luuuuuuv  :-*

Well shit.  You should've just used your shirt since you're averse to wearing one.  Only use duct tape for warts, and toilet paper for your ass...unless you have to blow your nose while sitting on the porcelain throne.

@KSM  I liked Corner Gas!  They showed it on one of the channels when I was in Virginia.  Not sure what network.  Might of been PBS or one of the cable channels.  Can't remember.  But it was in the mid 2000's; maybe a little later.  Came across it by accident.  Really enjoyed it.

Ha!  No Badgers in the South.  Nor Porcupines and sadly Chipmunks in this part of NC are quite rare.  Need to get that Real Estate thread updated with some pictures.  Was just sitting out on the back porch, having a Coke and a smile and heard a pissed off Donkey braying, a Rooster crowing and some gunfire off in the distance, which is nice. Even more nice is that I've found that after sitting at a desk everyday pretty much from 8AM to 11PM for the past two years, that I can still do some physical work. Definitely have gotten physically stronger the past couple of weeks. I've never been one to just run in place on a treadmill but mowing two acres with a push mower is good exercise too. Plus then the clippings can go into the compost pile. Hell, I can even have a compost pile without busybodies bitching to the HOA about it.

@TigerLily That is out in Hillbilly Jim territory, which is a great area just too far for our purposes. Alas we didn't get the vaginal bathtubre house - a pity. Long bubblebaths while relaxing in uterine splendor would have been great. It has been interesting wildlife-wise so far. I've seen nothing bigger than a bunny so far. In Raleigh, our neighborhood has deer, fox and I've seen a coyote from time to time.

Bask Bank out of Texas is currently at 2.2% APY. I am pretty sure that they are FDIC insured. This is better than a lot of CD rates and it's accessable, I don't know if you can do checks right off of it though.

I will be going before the """COMMITTEE""" in the next few days to present my Speed-Bag case.  I want to install (on my dime) a platform in the Gym/Fitness area/room of this complex. If they deny me they're heads will roll. Or, BOUNCE!



I actually feel the pain watching anybody do anything above their shoulders. I have so much crap going on with shoulder and ulnar nerve issues among many other things, it just is painful to think about. (This is true with a lot of things, woodworking, home improvement, working on cars, all of it generates this pain and a bit of sadness because I can't do a lot of this stuff anymore.)

When I was a teenager I did a bit with a speed bag. My brother had set one up in our garage but it had a metal ring frame to it, no flat panel. I'm sure that must have been horrible for the bag because the wear and tear on one particular narrow spot.

I had no idea until this morning that the fitness franchise Planet Fitness has a No Lunk Alarm! this is aimed at guys like me who lift heavy and may cause the weights or machines to clunk (or LUNK) when your set is done. There are also signs up that say NO GYMINTIMIDATION! This also is aimed at guys like me. Like we're going to walk around and physically intimidate other members? i have no idea what it means but I have never heard of a WOKE gym before.

Earlier today while coming up the stairs from the parking garage with Vera I/we heard what sounded like someone horrifically abusing their dog. Very distressing and equally disturbing as it sounded like whomever was dragging a dog up the metal stairs. Must have caught the last few moments of it as I, with V, began to run up the several levels to catch up to whatever the fuck we were hearing but by the time we arrived on the 4th landing the potential culprit and poor puppy were on their floor and in a hall on the way to their suite. I think Vera started running up a second before I did.

Thankfully no music was playing.  It probably will start in a month.  ::)

She used to need a girly capo before she started the bodybuilding nonsense.

I had a "duh, Falkie" moment today. I was getting pissed off that none of the banks I had been calling were open. The last one I called had a message that said: "...we are closed because of Columbus Day Holiday..." Ah fuck.

Hello @ShayP
Any guess on what we can call the "clean" thrust move we see below?
Maybe @KSM can help you out.
The ghost of JJ is looking forward to your answer.



Well, @Bart Ell I forgot about Jill Janus.  Huntress had some good songs.  I wasn't aware of The Star Breakers though.  I don't know what we could call that "clean" thrust move, but I do know I like it.  Plus I could pleasure myself all day long just looking at that clip.  I love metal chicks.  Back in the day...Doro Pesch = YUM  :D

This Huntress song is close to my heart.  I just wish a woman would sing it to me.  :'(  Maybe one day?  :-\

I think the thrust was badass.  Like "here it is fellas!  It's clean."   Seriously though, you probably know, she had a lot going on in her life.  Too much to handle and it did her in.  :(

I love it when women go out proclaiming their success in life when their only source of income is alimony and child support. So, in theory, they spread their legs for their money because there's no way they would have gotten that money without kids.

One of my old classmates was just like that and, recently, her ex-husband died and left nothing for her or the kids because he was bled dry. Suddenly, she has to get a job.

I fought a bank and won.

With the recent increases in interest rates, I was transferring money around trying to get top rates. One bank had what appeared to be an impressive interest rate. I not only read, I downloaded the various terms and disclosures. I then opened the account and transferred a lot of money over to them. Then, I went to transfer even more money and the system wouldn't let me do it. The rep told me that I did not have the ability to do that for 3 months. I went back through the disclosures, couldn't find it.

I went to transfer all the money out after they had my money for 25 days. I left $10 in the account in order for the statement to come out and I can get my interest. They closed my account and sent me a check. I contacted customer service and they advised me that the account being closed meant that I would not be receiving any interest for the time they had my money.

After contacting the FDIC, within 1 week, I got a check in the mail for my lost interest that they tried to abscond from me.

Squeaky wheel.

Drummer, 19, dies after 'climbing into dumpster and being compressed'

A teenage drummer was found dead at a recycling facility after he climbed into a dumpster and was compressed by a garbage truck after a night out. Kellen Bischoff (pictured), 19, of Manahawkin, New Jersey, was found dead on Saturday around 8.45am at Total Recycling Facility in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, after attending an off-campus house party near Kutztown University. The teen, who plays drums in a local band called Hellfire, had apparently been visiting family in Pennsylvania when he was reported missing.

They might just be playing, I've seen wild animals of different species chasing each other around for fun before.  The skunk with the tail up is ready to spray just in case, but didn't, and the badger doesn't seem to be interested in actually attacking them.

There was a roasting company in Virginia we used. @KSM   However I cannot remember what the name is.  It was over 8 years ago.  I still have some buddies who are ex-coworkers.  I'll give them a call or text.

I don't drink coffee much anymore, but back then I was drinking at least three 20 ounce cups per shift.  That Ethiopian Harrar was addictive.  I never brewed it myself because I used to be a sexy beast with an amazing personality and it was provided to me upon request.  :D 

The bean to water ratio is out of my scope.  I'm sure I'd screw it up the first time.

I came here now to gripe about Neil Schon. One day, I told him no on the phone. Flat out no. His guitar tech calls me up and tries to sweet talk me. I like this guitar tech, we had a lot of laughs, but Neil is a dick.

Looking back, I should have agreed to a trade. One of his stage-played guitars for mine, not stage-played, but a twin to one of his that got munched. Opportunity lost.

Power outages have left about 1.4 million homes and businesses in the dark, according to the website PowerOutage, which tracks utility reports. Utilities in Nashville, Memphis and throughout the Tennessee Valley said they were implementing rolling blackouts Friday to conserve power as the region battles an extreme cold front.

And more than 4,600 flights within, into or out of the U.S. were canceled Friday, according to the tracking site FlightAware, causing more mayhem as travelers try to make it home for the holidays.

Based on the driver's license/ID photo, this woman is probably high on the list of shooting up a workplace or eating children, possibly even buying a Kia with a bad engine.

This woman has been advertising for months on the local Craigslist. She's identified herself as Mrs Tom Cruise often.

God Bless the people who designed this system! Needed to join some 6x6's and used these rascals. No drilling holes. No rebar spikes. No sledge hammers. Just Brrrrrp with the cordless Dewalt. Would have taken forever before but I was done in like 10 minutes with these babies and didn't have to curse once.

What do they call it? A sandwich, but there's more exact phrase to it. Something like a "good news bad news sandwich."

So, a couple of easy things like make sure that my medications aren't expired and that I have enough, make sure I sign up for support groups and tell us what you want to do when you are a vegetable... Shall we pull the plug?

While walking Vera this morning I noticed a beautiful Lexus LC turn on to the street. It abruptly parked in front of a local fresh coffee shop. The woman that exited the car was stunning in her painted-on jeans and high heels. Also had a beautiful beige high waisted leather jacket. Typical stunning tall blond that appeared to have the world by the balls. I was married to one of those.

Anyways. This image was quickly ruined as she began to ..walk.. from the car across the street to the coffee place. She had full-on DUDE walk, as if she was packin' a serious lady pleaser in the pants. This was not a man in transition. Not a man at all. This was a real woman with the worst walk you could imagine. What a compromise.

Could it have been a "I don't want to slip on ice" walk?

Ok. So one lesson to be learned is not to drink infected blood:

Quote
The former 'Jackass' star was admitted to hospital after he was struck down with coronavirus, and during one seizure he bit his tongue so hard it "was nearly falling off", and he later drank some infected blood which gave him pneumonia.

Bam Margera was 'pronounced dead' after suffering 4 seizures (https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/entertainment-celebrity/bam-margera-was-pronounced-dead-after-suffering-4-seizures/ar-AA162tQ4?ocid=mailsignout&pc=U591&cvid=d785006e10e04610820080fff5d0a7d0)

Was watching some Hawaii Five-0 - In season 3, Episode 23 Pernell Roberts plays a catcher that leaves MLB in order to play in the minors in Hawaii.  He is a widower and feels it will be better for his mentally challenged son.  Kind of a weird premise but whatever. What caught my attention was how comfortable Roberts looked behind the plate. There are several action shots where it is clearly Roberts behind the dish and he looked reasonably comfortable. Looked on the web some and didn't find anything on his background in baseball - Just that he attended Georgia Tech, played the tuba and was a Marine. Nothing in the Five-O bible (https://www.fiveohomepage.com/5-0log3.htm#71) either on Roberts and baseball either.
Just one of those stupid things that catch ones attention.

Am I supposed to be the expert on large breasts, penises, beer or sunshine? She is one of those majestic Slavic beauties but the boobies have been surgically enhanced. She lies. But it's a nice fantasy and her right to do so.  Drinking beer will give you big breasts but an even bigger belly. Kind of defeats the purpose if you're going for the Miss Slovenia look. I can't say I'm an expert on penis. More an interested amateur. Always wear sunscreen if you don't want to look like the Cryptkeeper. Go with a professional spray on tan if you feel the need

I believe that there is such a thing as a family curse.

I had a friend who committed suicide as an elementary school student...

His family consisted of seven people, not counting my friend's mother who is from a different bloodline (she made it to 87)...

Out of the seven people:
1 infant died
1 child died
1 died at 36
2 died before age 60 (55 & 58)
1 died at 62
1 died at 65

According to find a grave, none of them died in battle or overseas.

I just looked up an uncle and a cousin of my classmate, both of them made it to 65. Wow...

She survived… I would have died before I hit the water. I’ve jumped feet first into a river from about 45’ off a bridge and made the mistake of looking down because it was taking too long to hit the water… almost got knocked out. I can’t imagine slamming head first from over 300’

WAN, can we not just mark it down as one of those creepy fake videos? The film/footage looks about like 80s VHS quality which could be thought about from a few angles. It's almost Kubrick-like. The 'demon' in question could be a small black child in decorative costume and of course that would be YOUR first guess. ?  Her, holding its hand, while wearing a mask only tells us that she was being covid responsible. Wouldn't want the little fucker to go back to Hell, and be sick!

It was around 1998, not sure how big it was.
I remember I was with a guy named Bart.
Seriously, his name was Bart.
Was because he is not longer with us.
He diedsuddenly from a prolonged illness.
We we working out a keyboard part in his living room.
It was my first earthquake so I was a little concerned that it felt like the floor had disappeared from under my feet.
He didn't seem to notice but saw my concern and then informed me it was an earthquake.

I grew up in San Gabriel Valley. At the time of my childhood noted for its smog, Santa Ana winds and earthquakes. I've been in earthquakes so strong they have knocked me off my feet. Santa Ana winds so strong they could knock a Volkswagen with 4 teenaged girls off the road. And smog so heavy it left me with permanent brain and lung damage. Ah the Los Angeles Basin. A real garden spot. But the smog is much reduced from when I was a kid thanks to strong environmental laws.  And the local music rocked  8)

@Walks_At_Night Have you ever seen Moby Dick with Patrick Stewart starring as Ahab? It's quite good. The ending scene is epic as he, Ahab, is pinned/speared to the Great-White-Whale.. as they sink into the abyss.

I have seen that version and liked it @KSM    William Hurt is starting to crack up nicely in this version so I think it will be ok in the end. 

Of course then there is this abomination too:

I cannot watch the Chris Rock special.  It stalls every time before the one minute mark. Other things play, even the CR trailer... Just not the special.

Started watching Moby Dick [2011] with William Hurt as Ahab.  I'm concerned.  So far, early on, it is portraying Ahab as a vulnerable, human-type.  He has an adoring Gillian Anderson doting on him:

Not sure that I want a sensitive Ahab. I want a tough Ahab. I want an obsessed Ahab. I want a psychotic, "I'd strike the Sun if it insulted me Ahab".  I want Peck I guess:

Didn't even realize this version existed.  Thanks for the heads up, my family and I enjoyed the movie.

Riese has no idea that I am a crazed redneck right-winger.
None of that matters because Riese is a very nice person and we get along quite nicely. So much so that when I fly up to Canada this summer for a week, she Riese will housesit and take care of Vera for the duration of the vacation.
Riese is good people they/them.

The question is, would Riese treat you the same if knowledgeable about your personal beliefs?

Well, before anything I do take each person as an individual. Generalizations and preconceived notions will not help anybody at any time. I would like to think that she,  ::) Riese would be the same way.  That said, I will not open such a can of conversation simply because there is no reason to do so. (Ain't broke, don't fix it) Unless.. they/them wants to have such a dialogue.

Not worried about TV and computer stuff. Nor would I take my 'Make Canada Great Again' cap off the wall at the front door.

And as for my "beliefs", they are not that. They are absolute knowledge.

The Perry Mason reference reminded me of a controversy regarding the Pechanga Tribe. I guess they destroyed some historical things from the Gardner estate when they took over the property 20 years ago.

My friend lived with a woman in Park City in the late 90's/early 2000's.  Her dog kept getting out of her fenced yard while she was at work.  A neighbor told my buddy that the compliance officer was letting it out, catching it, and taking it to the pound.  My buddy confronted the officer (Rader) in a coffee shop.  It escalated to yelling and swearing. A couple year later he was apprehended for all that sick shit he did.  Sometimes the world is a little too small.

Whenever I find these guys in my house, I carefully place them where there's a mother load of bugs, usually out in my garden. Recently, I was digging through my garage and found some silverfish. So the next time I caught one of these helpful creatures, I took it out to a place that I found the silverfish.

A week later, this morning, my little friend came back. He had grown a centimeter, it seems. It just seemed massive compared to what I saw a week ago.

I killed one of them and then researched it after the fact. Since I live near nature, I see a lot of bugs. I'm not so good with the cockroach and water bug types. There was a worm that eats other worms that I came across a lot of and was killing those. And I am completely intolerant of rats and mice... I actually stopped feeding birds when I read that bird feeders attract rodents.

a mother load

The only time a mother has a load is when it is deposited on or in her.
She can have a lode, though.

I don't have any really good celebrity encounter stories. Was in an elevator once and George Clinton got on and gave me a "What up dawg?" and I once saw Pat Morita bombed out of his mind staggering around the Flamingo in Vegas. This dude had Rita Morena swipe a wing off his plate and then sit on his knee. 

Quote
"I was a cameraman for a cable show that featured entertainers on tour. I met most of them up close and personal. Liberace, The Osmonds, etc. Before the interviews, there was always a spread for the media. I was sitting down having a few chicken wings when this thin, elegant hand passed my head and snatched a wing from my plate. I looked up in protest and was met by the smiling, angelic face of Rita Moreno. She laughed, sat on my knee, and dipped her wing into my bleu cheese dressing, then sauntered away leaving behind only her perfume (mixed with the smell of chicken wings) and a hearty laugh."

The tiger lily represents confidence and not arrogance or vanity, and this is why the flower was often associated with nobility in times past. In Buddhism, tiger lilies are symbolic of the virtues of mercy and compassion.

Halloween was more my wife's thing. She made a huge deal out of it and I pretty much went along for the ride. It's one day, and I'm carving out several pumpkins and getting lights in place in the yard along with other stuff. One year we had less than 4 knocks at the door! All that work. nah, I'm a Christmas guy. And I'm a second Christmas guy. Christmas is all of December and January for me.
All that said, she did make some fantastic finger foods for Halloween and we both always made sure to take the next day off just because we could. But still, Halloween is the poorest excuse for anything resembling a marker on the calendar.

You're just going to stay at home and knit your voodoo dolls on Halloween. Pff  I didn't even feel anything last time when you ripped off my dolls head and burnt its penis with a soldering iron. @TigerLily  ::)

When I first moved to N.C. some of the Good Ole Boys I worked with exposed me to Bojangles.  Bo's is fast food. Chicken. Good chicken - hell phenomenal chicken. Best fast food I've ever had [Well except for stopping at the White Castle on 8 Mile and Gratiot at 2AM after tearing it up over in Windsor, Ontario all night but that is a specific, special case].  The fried chicken is wonderful and all the sides are winners.  You also get free Bojangles Iced Tea with your meal. Sweet Tea. There is something satisfying to hearing the dude taking your order at the register  and bellowing into the mic: "Quarter Dark. Dirty Rice. Free Ice Tea".

Most on the board probably don't have access to Bo's. @JUAN might. The Sweet Tea though - how do you describe it?  It is like one part cane sugar to three parts water with a tea bag dipped in it just enough to stain it.  About takes your head off the first time you try it. Grows on you though. I can see why the concoction was developed in the South. Nothing is more refreshing after working outside in the Sun and heat all day then a bottomless Bo's Sweet Tea.  Before A/C it must have been a life sustainer in August.

Very recently Bojangles Hard Sweet Tea was released. Confidence was high that it would be awesome.  I watched the review below where this guys states that it is awesome.  Worked outside in the Sun and heat for hours. Normally I'll have a Gatorade but today by jove I had this new, noble, nectar of the Gods on hand. Trembling with anticipation, I pulled on the pop top and took a mighty swig.  GACK! Argh! Oh no!  It tasted like that horrid cough medicine that they give to you as a kid. You know that red shit that your Mom would pour into a big spoon and make you glug it down? It didn't help in any way but was some sort of F'ed up punishment for being sick, hanging around the house and getting on peoples nerves.

So while this dude has one awesome hat, he must be a Big Food shill. It tastes like shit.  0 out of 5 Clucks.

Another loaf came home this week.  I could eat the whole one in a day... Ex-cons on staff. Replacing one addiction with SUGAR!

Damn!  I gotta have a slice or two now!

Had a Dave's Killer Bread product today with breakfast (bagel) and it was quite good. It had me wondering about the origins of the product, like who is or was Dave? What is his story? Well, turns out Dave was in and out of prison for 15 years before eventually realizing great success...

Don't those guys use toilets as mixing bowls?

Well, hopefully he didn't reproduce because the gene pool is better off without him.

I can't imagine being a parent of that child. Either they raised him to be wise, cautious, kind and loving and he really fucked up or they raised a fucking idiot. I vote for the latter.

Sure, there's going to be a big void, but considering that they raised a fucking idiot, I'm sure that they will gladly try to sue the cruise ship. Anyways, my kids' graduation presents weren't cruise ship trips (Natalee Holloway comes to mind - it is scary to think that my voice recognition spelled her name correctly).  My kids got sensible vehicles, computers and things that would help them in their further education. That Louisiana family? They put him on a cruise ship.

Wonder what it feels like to see your son, brother, nephew, grandson, great-grandson, next door neighbor not only do something incredibly stupid, but suicidal.

Australia - Hunter Valley crash: Bus driver going too fast, police say

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65886519

The 58-year-old bus driver has been charged with multiple counts of dangerous driving and negligence, after being arrested on Monday.

He was allegedly driving "in a manner that was inconsistent with the conditions", the NSW Police Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander told reporters on Tuesday.

"He lost control of that vehicle... obviously the speed was too quick for him to negotiate that roundabout," Acting Commissioner David Waddell added.

At 6 p.m., Big Bend National Park officials said it received an emergency call for help along the trail. A team of Park Rangers and U.S. Border Patrol Agents reached the trail at 7:30 p.m. and found the teenager dead.

A search then began for the father, who was found 30 minutes later dead inside his vehicle, which has crashed over an embankment at the Boquillas Overlook, officials said.

"The father from what we can understand was driving, as you could imagine, probably pretty stressed out and frantic to get help to his sons, and at some point had a crash over an embankment," VandenBerg said.

There's this security guy who decided to start a conversation with me this morning.
He looks like Officer Hoppy Hopkins from Sanford and Son.
He asked me if I went by catering.
When I said I have not he said I should try the vanilla donit.
He had 2 donits for brefest.

Kind of in mourning. I turned on my radio this morning to listen to a really bad car advice show on KABC called The Motorman. The guy's been on radio for over 40 years and retired at some point recently.

Leo Kaplan was the host and was a big local race car guy back in the '60s and '70s. He was completely ignorant of the modern problems of Ford and Chevy, so it was kind of funny to listen to him talk about those cars on an elevated level over Toyota and Honda. He was also clueless about a lot of other stuff, gas formulations and electronics, safety things. But still it was kind of a safe and listenable thing.

I wanted to call today and tell everybody about how to buy new car warranties without spending three times more than necessary. Oh well, Los Angeles has lost my grain of wisdom.

Out in the social area of my complex last week I witnessed a very fit and attractive woman/chick (about 28-34) CROP DUST her boyfriend. He is always walking behind her carrying whatever bags and such while she leads the way with not even a purse sometimes.  I don't think she realized that I saw what she did as the boyfriend tried to walk briskly in front of her to save himself but to no avail as she cut him off each time while smirking. She was quite amused by her actions.

At this point, I've lived longer in North Carolina than in Michigan and I really don't even think about it anymore.  Got reminded of my Yankeedom today though. Place was out of a movie. Old guy, sitting on a rocker, whittling a hunk of wood. I walk up, he spits out a stream of RedMan "Whaddya need?"   Chicken feed. "What kind?"  Crumbles or Pellets. "Layer?"  Yes. "$18. Cash. It is over here". I give him a 20 and he gets his roll of bills out and we settle up. I follow him around back into a maze of shipping containers and get it.  Its a fair price but not sure I'll go back. 99% of these good old boys out in the sticks would do anything for you but I think he heard my accent and he didn't like it or me.

There is this woman around here that walks her English Bulldog in a wagon. The dog is very old and has trouble walking for more than 5 ft on his own would be my guess. She wheels him out each day to pick him up and put him on the grass to do his business. It's a sad sight because the old pup is ready to die in most ways but does not appear to be in any pain at all as he seems happy and wags his tail. But her, the woman, is just hanging on and putting the sad day off as long as she can. She too seems very nice.

Yes it is. I've been through it and each time is as uniquely painful as the pet was. Sometimes they let you know when it's time and you no longer have the choice of hanging on. Woke up one morning in 2013 and Henry was laying there dying, so that.. meant load him up (140 LBs) and to the vet we went.  Fuckin' hell that was a dark day. Vets advice was "Guys, get a puppy" "It's not like a human relationship where you break up and get yourself a rebound person right away"  She was right. 48 hours later baby Vera was pissing on my studio floors while fighting with a squeaky rubber chicken toy.

Are you a Rambler?

After some refreshment I have been known to speak rather disconnectedly....But no, more of a walker than those hiking types.

I was walking along the river a few weeks ago and saw this odd, boxy-looking figure making its way towards me. It got closer and closer and only until it was about ten feet away did I realise it was a jogger dressed as a.....fucking rhino!

'Awight, mate!' he said, as he passed, and jogged off into the distance.

That beats me. Same kind of a deal - went for a hike at a park along the Cape Fear River. Passed some older guy who was trotting along at a decent pace. He was doing the Clint Eastwood thing - running with boots, blue jeans and no shirt. No "mates" out of him. Mean looking Mother.  I guess a retired airborne type out of Fort Bragg maybe.

I think jogging is very bad for you anyway, I don't know why people bother. I go with Neil Armstrong's theory that we only get a certain amount of heartbeats and strenuous exercise like that is going to use too many up for little visible benefit. There are joggers everywhere at the moment, and they just make me feel tired and irritable looking at them with that insufferable air of healthy smugness they give off.

I felt like the Chaplain looking at the naked man in the tree when I saw that jogger. Was I really looking at something real, or was it a figment of my imagination? Was it a sign for me only that I had to interpret? People get dressed up in weird shit for almost no reason in this country these days. When you go to cricket matches you can't move for bearded nuns or men dressed as bananas.

I wish ESPN still showed things such as cricket matches, college hockey, and Australian rules football.  Maybe with the rumored sale, they'll eliminate their politicized gab fests and go back to live sports.  My friends in broadcasting with access to raw ratings info say that's the only thing g people reliably tune in to. 

Besides, jogging on pavement is terrible on the knees and ankles.

We need more serial killers.  Background - I injured my Achilles which requires me to do an hour of very boring therapy every day.  To get through it, I've been watching true crime stuff on TV.  I've seen all the First 48s, Unsolved Mysteries, Forensic Files, Cold Case Files, When Murder Comes To Town, etc.  They've worn out Gein, Bundy, Berkowitz, Zodiac, Gacy, etc., and have been progressively going to lesser killers.  I'm now down to some show from the UK where they are reduced to featuring killers who only kill one person - and trying to stretch that into an hour show.
I need more entertainment. Free streaming, of course.

If you haven't lived through hurricanes, you won't believe the amount of water.  I would think especially there because I doubt the storm sewer systems can handle it.  The track of this storm makes it will pick up water from both the Pacific and the Gulf.  Also the wind will pick up loose objects and slam them into windows, which I suspect are not up to hurricane standards.
Fill your cars with gas.  Set aside several gallons of water per petson.  Get canned food that can be dated from the can if there is no cooking source.  Be prepared to be without electricity for several days.

With respect; Baby Got Back is not about a woman's large bum. The song is about the spinal structure of a human being.

For a moment or three, I really thought to myself I should call him.

Yeah.

If I may,  I think you should call him. C'mon man - get your act together.

I'll stick to the status quo for now... Dead friend is still dead, live friend is a busy dude.

When I say that I think cell phones killed most of my friends, I am serious. I think I lost a couple to HIV and related stuff. Alcohol got its share, but weird cancers have been the worst.

We all know it...

One person I could name without doxing myself is Kid Ramos. Fortunately, he lived. He was acquaintances with a friend of mine who was receiving cancer treatment at the same time at Kaiser. Ewing's sarcoma is considered a rare pediatric cancer yet he got it as an old man an inch away from where he kept his cell phone.

Another is Diane Gershuny. She kept her cell phone in her bra cup... That's where it all started for her.

Since this electronic leash and monitoring system is integral for other aspects of our future society, the truth about cell phones will never fully be disclosed.

In the fine print that comes with I-Phones there is apparently a warning stating 'Do not hold directly to head' that's not verbatim but pretty close.

Here's one that is even too sick for @Walks_At_Night

This guy was a Stern caller known as Claire From New Jersey who was banned years ago for nutty calls.

He wrote a 24 page manifesto admitting to some of his crimes.



The cop ain't lying.
I am not going to post any of the crimes but they are sicker than anything you can imagine.
The sick fuck spent 10 hours on a stream with another Stern hanger-on just days before turning himself in and kept alluding to how his life was going to change after he had a meal at Burger King last Saturday.

Quote
A copy of this confession is being emailed to various parties prior to turning myself in: local media in
Stuart, FL (TCPalm), local media in West Palm Beach, local media in Newton, NJ (The New Jersey Herald),
local media contacts in Boulder & Denver, CO, my contacts at the Stuart PD, and a few of the folks who
were copied on my “Road to Recovery” emails that I sent out while I was in rehab. Here’s the deal: I am a
church-desecrating animal-abusing pedophile – a total monster and a sociopath - who has done
incalculable damage to an unknown number of innocent people all over the country. I’m tired of running
from my crimes and I am ready to turn myself in and face punishment. This confession is the first step in
that process. I’ve done my best to remember all the locations for the church masturbation/desecration
sessions. I used Google Maps to find what I believe is the exact address for each location. Also - this is not
a complete list of my crimes against Christians (which are absolutely Federal Hate Crimes), children,
animals, and homeless people but it represents a best attempt at listing out the worst of the worst.

He'll never get a leg up in any situation now
He tried to put up an argument concerning his behavior, but he didn't have a leg to stand on
So on and so forth...

It never ceases to amaze me how people forget that these are wild animals that can kill you easily.  Several years ago near where I live, a young girl went to a cat sanctuary to have her senior pictures taken with a Siberian tiger.  It killed her in seconds.  I remember hearing the usual...  "I don't understand, this tiger has had hundreds of pictures taken with people (aka potential prey)."  And, "there must be something wrong with the cat."  Or my all time favorite..."We have a special bond."  They did a necropsy on the cat after it was euthanized and found out that there was no brain tumor or any other kind of malady other than that some people are really idiotic when it comes to interacting with wild animals.

Check the news, happens all the time.  Lions, tigers, bears, exotic venomous snakes, etc.

@sean92008   Really not much to share. I've been to the office physically twice since the flatten the curve deal.  Once to clean out my desk when they shut the building down and once for a big onsite meeting. Just don't get the interaction when not in the office, plus I've been assigned to a different group and work with Euro's - Brits and Irish mostly. I don't interact with them all that much.  Rumor has it that the White Shoe Boys will want us to go back in soon. They haven't pushed that much as the dirty little secret is that code jock productivity has skyrocketed.  I guess the state of North Carolina is pushing businesses though.  They lose so much tax revenue. Guys aren't eating out at lunch as much, buying as much gas, putting as many miles on cars so less parts, tires, repairs, etc.

A few things have happened.  Damn near got fired over the Vax - told them to stick Der Fuehrer's dictate up their ass.  It was a little tense for awhile but they caved and then spent the next year kissing my butt trying to smooth things over. I'll never forget though.  Had two long time co-workers pass. One caved in working late one night - his wife found him dead in the home office the next morning. At least he was home. Years back we had a guy die in his cube on a Friday. Nobody found him until Monday morning. Dying in the House of Pain is not optimal. The other guy went down with some sort of liver issue. Guy thought he had a gallstone issue but it wasn't. He was gone in 5 months. Not even 40. Pretty awful.

Methuselah is gone. In July of 2022 he just up and quit. The White Shoe Boys were busting his balls trying to get him to do something he had no interest in doing. "You have to do this!"  "No I don't. I'm done"  I believe he hired in about the time that Bruce Jenner was still a man and winning gold medals. Guess 45+ years was enough. He had a big party over at his palatial estate in Chapel Hill. Was a good time.  I'm almost the oldest guy now - rather scary.

About that time frame, Hillbilly Jim went to Vietnam and married that lady he was sweet on. Quite the wedding picture - she is about as big as his leg.  He decided that he hated the 'nam so he is waiting on immigration to clear and will bring her to NC. Don't know what he'll do if they force an office return. He sold his place here in the RTP area and retreated to his mountain lair.  His current MO is that she is there and he is here so he has continued on with his lust for life unabated.

Bijou Phillips not divorcing convicted rapist Danny Masterson...

I knew Masterson's accountant and once even received a fax from Danny because my friend's eFax account wasn't working...

Masterson, as of maybe 2014 made $40k a month for that 70s show.

Surely, it has dropped as time goes on, but it's still a good chunk of change.

Anyways the Philips kids are all freaking nuts. Chyna is married to a Baldwin brother and is a new age Christian nutcase. Mackenzie...  well...  Enough said!

Suburb and urban stuff. Yes, it still happens, but not like you might remember. I think video games and whatever else is keeping kids sedentary has changed things to some degree. Up north they would knock on doors in the summer about mowing lawns. In the winter they would knock on the door to shovel driveways. That was at our place in town, kids didn't dare knock on our door on the outskirts of town. 90 ft double driveway and over 2 acres of PERFECT LAWNS!!!  Those same young boys might later grow up to buy trucks with snowplows and riding lawnmowers and THEN leave pamphlets in mailboxes about their services.

I miss shoveling snow and stressing over every blade of grass.  One day soon.. 8)

There were some good kids in our areas up north that didn't want to stay in the house all day pissing around that wanted to actually earn some cash for actual work. Although.. some of them were quite pricey. My front walkway in town was 22 long by 3 ft, and one kid wanted $20 to shovel 4"s of fluffy lightweight snow. That kid knew enough to show up early on days when the snow was going to melt within hours. My wife thought he was funny in all this and did humor him a few times. He knew we were on to him but somehow we let him bilk us a few times. He was a real charmer.  ;D  Gonna be very wealthy someday, or at least own a used car dealership.   ;D  We turned on him when he showed up one Halloween night at like 9pm to trick or treat without a costume. And again, 9PM? Fuck off ya little shit.

@Walks_At_Night Ahh, yes. What took me so long is that I was a late comer to the game. September 2015 when the Jays were steamrolling everyone and headed to the World Series. I hated the game up until then, but I decided to watch a few games and was amazed that I had never given it a chance before. Jays were robbed that year. Literally robbed. I could get conspiratorial about it and make a good case for it too.

My reason for turning my back on it and other leagues (not sports) is the rampant and unbounded preaching on social issues ETC.

The demarcation for me was the strike in 1994, wiping out a great year, great pennant race, and what was shaping up to be a great post-season.  Unacceptable.

To lure fans in to replace people like me, they made the fatal decision to add offense.  Ask a diehard soccer or hockey fan what they think of slowing the game way down and adding a considerable amount of additional offense.

If you started watching it after '94, you were 100% correct in thinking it sucked badly.  Because it did.

As previously mentioned I didn't care one bit about the sport until post season 2015, so there was no way to know that what I was watching 'sucked'  But now, 8 years later, I think it sucks compared to what I was originally so excited about not so many years ago. I had what can only be described as 'new fan ignorance condition'.

I was riding my bike one day, just starting out from the trailhead.  Pond on my right, some bushes an my left, straight, flat, dirt road in front.  A friend was maybe 15 feet ahead of me.  We were heading out to a hill to find some reported Native American grinding holes here and there, and a few other signs of their earlier presence.  The back side of the hill is off limits and known for raptors.

Apparently my friend woke up something sleeping off to the left, and as I was going by it came boiling out of the bushes.  Huge, black, 2-3 feet in front of me, it pretty much took up my full field of vision.  My initial reaction was it's a turkey, what else around here is huge, black, and flies.  Three flaps of the wings and it was pretty high over the pond.

Not a turkey, but I didn't know what it was.  Later we get to the top of the hill and look out, we see peregrine falcons and these same black things.  They looked like eagles, the silhouette, the distinct shape of the beak.  I know we supposedly have bald eagles around here, like one or two once in awhile at some remote lake, but this wasn't a bald eagle.  I'd heard of golden eagles, but this thing was very dark brown.

I found it on google, turns out golden eagles aren't golden at all, they're dark brown, just like the one in the above image.  And big.

We gazed upon Josef Albers' Study for Homage to the Square.  There was a young couple also studying the paintng who were discussing how brilliant it was and how the green of spring contrasted with both the gray and blue of that season.  Mrs. WAN thought it looked like ass and I agreed with her.

When our son was very young, we took a trip to Minnesota to visit my father.  As usual, Minneapolis was a mess, construction and detours a plenty.  We ended up downtown and our son was mesmerized by the skyways and how they connected buildings over top of busy streets, and how you could see the people moving between.  When we got back home, he drew skyways, he wrote stories about skyways, he drove us nuts with skyways.  Haha!  I remembered this song by the Replacements.  At 18, it remains one of his favorites.

So, do I dare ask how or why there are people that you don't know coming to your house on Christmas day? I've had that happen in my last life once or twice, although that was a Christmas party that we hosted when my wife worked for westjet. Bunch of those airplane types all over the house. Some of them didn't even know who I was. We stopped being large party hosts.

Not my place.  My daughter and my Ex trade off hosting Christmas and Thanksgiving, so they invite who they want.  It's not usually who I want.

And that's fine, their home, their dinner, their party.  Those days, Easter, Super Bowl Sunday, maybe a few others, no one is out on the trails, no one is out anywhere, it's glorious.

With all of my kids relatively young and either still involved in education or mentoring those still being educated, I have an open invitation. This is especially true for people who have no family around.

One of my kids has a classmate who is so at odds with her family that she doesn't even know what her medical insurance is to go to the emergency room. People like that, they come to eat, hang out with my cats and they're invited to stay the whole weekend. I offer my chauffeur services as well. Postgrad education is tough enough as it is, a little brightness over a couple of holidays is the least I can offer

This is a classic example of a pyromaniac car maker. (Kia and Hyundai are joined at the hip.)

They have many years of production where the engine was a fire risk, engine fires are still a risk even after the recall mandated repairs are completed.

I understand that people don't necessarily research their cars very much, are attracted by features, aesthetics or because they can buy them cheap, but it is something really important.

This company has made a series of very poorly made cars after a much better debut decades ago, they went cheap and they went poorly engineered. A simple $20 unit was lacking in many of their cars, compounded with an ignition override that took a USB-A connector, if I recall correctly, to start the car. The effect was that a lot of people had their cars stolen and damaged without the benefit of comprehensive coverage.

He damned near flew there.

Moving fast, down 95
Hit top speed, but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
Hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your life in Detroit Rock City
Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why?

A few months ago you were asking for annoying suggestions to blast loudly to annoy the neighbors..  perhaps now would be a good time to crank some of those up.  ;D  Throw the McVeigh sympathizing lawyer show on that Art did from the mid 90's. Maybe that'll git them out socializing. Sounds like you're drinking.

I finally asked "what do you think of Depp v. Heard?"

I was disappointed, but they were all in college during the trial. More important things were going on for them.

I pitched the idea that her image was a big problem and that the lawyers should have kept her image to be one of a dainty little flower... Instead of imitating the outfit of the previous day's star witness.

I'd imagine she would look just as good if not better without all the plastic.  I think Helen Mirren is the exact same age and has just let nature take its course. 

Speaking of plastic, did you see the older lady that went to Mexico for plastic surgery after weight loss but woke up with huge knockers and an ass implant?

He hospiced under a brain tumor.

Something I didn't know until recently is that most states consider hospice treatment a stage beyond medical treatment and insurance no longer needs to pay for treatment other than pain relief. Surely President Carter is getting everything possible, but hospice is more of a "give up" rather than "going out peacefully" for the rest of us.

I was once interviewed for hospice work back in Victoria.  I told them I was "nice" and that is why I figured that I would be a good fit. Nice was not enough for them. I should have added that I can be quite 'comforting' 'empathetic' and 'patient' as well as being...  "nice"

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing, he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more.

Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, What am I doing? I'm too old for this, and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.

Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."

The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a state trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."

"Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper

Chances are that old lady was very difficult. Who knows, maybe the nurse is just being a ghetto bitch.  Protocol should have been two people grabbing her arms and restraining her with devices.

Old people who are belligerent in Japan get kicked out of the facility leaving the family to scramble to find a new facility or be stuck with the belligerent elderly person.

Japan also has a common care industry practice of having a maximum time that somebody can be there. Even if they are great and pay on time, most of these places will not keep somebody for more than a fixed amount of time.

The sad thing is Buick, for example, had great manufacturing out of their Canadian plant. Their 3800 Series 3 engines were fucking indestructible (100% cast iron engines) and got pretty good gas mileage. But it was mated to a transmission from hell.

The cars were extremely comfortable and semi-dependable, but they were poorly designed. I inherited a Buick LaCrosse CXL that was super luxurious and slightly sluggish, but I couldn't get two sets of suitcases in the trunk. If I could have done that, I would have kept the damn thing.

I had a Ford truck but things like the water pump failed at 70k miles. It also had rust develop in spots that that particular generation always had it develop at.

An American car that's reliable is the exception, not the rule. The government giving them all that money was a bad investment.

When a Prius can hold more luggage with three people in the car over a Buick LaCrosse, something's wrong.

Mine was a '93. Poor door drainage channels. Rust on the passenger door window sill, rust at the A-pillar and footwells.

No umph, but loaded down accelerated similarly.

Undersized: Maybe that's why my water pump gave up so easily.

FYI - Pistons blew a 21 point lead and lost to the Celtics in overtime - 128 to 122. So that is 28 losses in a row. That ties the 76'ers record of 28 although theirs was spread over two seasons.
I haven't watched any NBA in years but I've watched the last 5 or so games and it has been quite entertaining.  The Pistons have one young superstar player coming into his own. A couple of other talented young guys and an elderly Euro that can still score but can't play defense anymore.  Their bench is comprised of guys like this (https://www.reddit.com/r/DetroitPistons/comments/18th3tl/quick_lil_killian_montage_from_earlier/).  The head coach doesn't really want to be there - the owner kept offering him more and more cash until he accepted. He keeps making weird decisions - like he'll swap out four or even all five starters out at once and then the bench implodes.

If they lose Saturday in Toronto they'll have the record all to themselves.

Those creatures will find out about fucking around in Miami.  In 1994 when the chupacabra was running through Latin America it made that mistake.  It decided to snack on a few chickens, however the chickens it picked were being raised for Santeria ceremonies.  The owners ran out to defend their chickens with the woman throwing voodoo powder and the man firing 32 rounds from his Glock.  There has not been a reported Chupabra sighting in Miami since. Yes, I aired the video and interviews on my newscast.

I may have told you this one before...

Sometime in the early 2000's I found myself in a conversation with him.
He told me he was going to have knee surgery after his tour ended and then he was headed to Africa... because that's where the knee grows.

I snuck in a club to see her when I was 14.
I waited around for her outside at the backstage door after the show.
She came out and got into the waiting car.
I remember it was cold, maybe early March.
She rolled down the window and asked me if I would like to come in and warm up a little.
She signed my ticket and talked to me for a good 10-15 minutes.
Then, as we said goodbye, she touched it... it was over jeans but she touched it.
She would have no idea that I was 14 since you had to be 18 to get in so touching it was fine.
Yup.
A bit of a rub over jeans but it counts.
She said, "Oh you do like me!" and smiled as she did it.
Didn't seem to have her change teams or anything but sure gave YB (Young Bart) a story.

With toothpaste, I usually buy whatever's on sale, within reason.  I figure it's mostly all the same thing, and with marketing departments vying for shelf space we end up with about 300 different items to choose from.

Anyway, I'm about out of toothpaste, pick some up from the store, and end up with a box that says ''natural white with coconut derived charcoal''.  Ok fine.  Last night I open it for the first time, put a bit on the toothbrush, and it's black.  So they went with ''natural'' instead of bleaching it or coloring it.  Hell, they probably added coloring to make it uniformly black.

Anyway, turns out I close my eyes when I brush my teeth.  Didn't realize I was doing that.  I lean over the sink, open my eyes, and spit it out.  Let's just say in that situation no one wants to see a sink full of black stuff that came out of one's mouth.  And then look in the mirror and see dribbles of black toothpaste on one's chin.

Chrissakes, I'm not sure this is going to catch on.

Just watch that live cam out of Philly where those folks inject that tranq shit into each others necks and wig out for three hours.

It was warm here yesterday - 70F.  Towards evening there was a brief rain and as the Sun was starting to set it cooled off rapidly. This created kind of a groovy, creepy fog. Not super dense to wipe out visibility but patchy and thick enough to set a horror movie vibe.  At the time I was driving through an old Civil War battlefield. Johnny Reb made one of his last stands as an organized fighting force there - Lee had already surrendered and it was quite a hopeless situation for them.  If one was ever going to see a ghost this was the perfect setting. Fog and ground where men fought and died for nothing really. Ghostly apparitions marching in the fog. Just close enough too see but far enough away to pretend that you didn't see them.  No such luck though. Only thing I saw was an Opossum trundling along.

Well.. WAN.. I'm not so sure that ghosts base their appearances on weather conditions.

If it is of ANY consolation I got held up in a line of traffic today as a herd (about 20) of Canadian Geese sauntered across the two lane roadway. Everybody stops for them and those fuckers go as slow as they feel like, and it seems like they do it on purpose.

They played the Piano Concerto #22 with the Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes. It was tidy but nothing special. They often pair Mozart and Bruckner in concert programmes and I don't think it ever quite works, even though I love Mozart. After the interval it was the Seventh Symphony by Bruckner. That was really excellent despite being conducted by someone labouring under the double handicap of being 1) a woman and 2) French. Despite my undying hostility towards those snail-sucking bastards, she did a very good job and the LSO sounded terrific. They  are doing the Ninth on Sunday and I might go and see that too
I haven't heard any live music for years and I'd forgotten how much I missed it.

Bruckner's definitely an acquired taste, unlike Mahler who most people like to one extent or another. If you haven't heard him, it's worth checking out Klemperer doing the Mozart symphonies. The conductor tonight was called Nathalie Stutzmann who was a well-known contralto before she took up conducting. I was very impressed, I must say, even though I was in a bad mood from it raining all sodding day.

Don't wear that. It's just going to get soaked with disgusting globules of cunt juice...

No need to say the obvious; somebody heard that. I heard a snort.

I also directed an older couple very confused while looking at wiper blades to go to the goddamn BMW dealer to get their wiper refills instead of putting some generic wiper blades on...  Their original blades lasted over 5 years, yikes.

Also at Costco, the iPhone 15 Pro Max with included AppleCare Plus is now $75 less ($90+ when you get your executive 2% cash back) than at the Apple Store... It used to be $200 more than the Apple Store... I will succumb to the fucking cult of Apple. I have really tried to resist it, especially after their human rights violations, fuck Chinese workers working in slave-like conditions.

I started listening to The Art of Talk audiobook again this morning during my travels.

Art erased his first wife and 2 kids.

At one point he is rambling about how a gun never killed anyone and then, with his next breath, begins rambling about how we have to be tougher on the war on drugs.
He mentions burning down fields in South America to prevent drugs from coming into America.
Was he not aware that a cocaine or a heroin never killed anyone?
I never saw a cocaine roll up on someone and force their way up their snoot.
Odd, especially coming from a speed freak like old Artie.

Yeah, he had Art IV with her.

He was with a woman named Tanya and then left her once he met his neighbor Marsha Boyd.
He stayed with Marsha for 5 years until Marsha offered Vickie L. Baker a room to rent and then Art fucked her the first night she lived with them.
Art had Art IV with her and then cheated on her with Ramona and mentions Ramona thought it was just a fling.
Ramona croaks and he is on to Airyn a few weeks later.
Art moves Heather into the cuckshack and it looks like history is about to repeat itself but then he croaks.


His 2 first kids were with Sachiko Toguchi.
He left them like they were one of his shows.

Wendy’s big draw here was always the fact that they only served fresh beef, not frozen. Pretty sure that’s why they started serving chili, to use up the unused beef before it went bad.

I haven’t eaten a burger at a Wendy’s in probably 30 years. They used to have a really good salad bar but I think they did away with those. I used to prefer them over McDonald’s because they assembled them to your order as far as toppings after each order. They didn’t sit under warming lights with all the vegetables and condiments already on them.

Their fries were decent but not as good as when McDonald’s used to soak theirs in beef juice.

I’ve been known to stop and get a Frosty every once in awhile but it’s been about 3-4 years since I stopped for one of those as well.

Across from my island is another island where the residents live in cottages and a mere million a year would be considered low income.  Of course no commercial establishments are allowed there, so all of the restaurants are on my island.  One is a burger joint that sells a $50 hamburger.  Fries and drink are extra.  A friend with more money than brains bought one for me.  The next day I was stuck in a traffic jam in Jacksonville, so I turned in to a Wendy's to kill some time.  I got a single.  It was better that the $50 burger. So for that kind of fare, Wendy's is pretty good.

Interesting. Oh well, I'll give it a go next week. They do stuff like baked potatoes too, of course, which McDonald's doesn't. Being the UK it might be significantly worse than what you get over there, because we don't complain and we're used to getting rubbish food.

Five Guys has really good fries. In the states they post the name of the farm in Idaho where the potatoes they are using that day came from. Here they have free peanuts in the shell that you can help yourself to while waiting for your order. And free refills for fountain drinks.

I like the many choices that they have for free toppings but their burgers are usually way overcooked.

Went to McDonald's for the first time in forever today - got breakfast. Noticed some f*ckery. I was a Starvin' Marvin so I got the Big Breakfast with Hot Cakes.  It comes with scrambled egg, a hash brown, a biscuit, a slab of pig thing, three good size pan cakes, two little tubs of real butter and two tubs of syrup and is served on a nifty little plastic tray thingy.  $5.39   - McDonald's apparently can make a profit at that price. However the Egg McMuffin, etc were like $6.50   Much less materials go into that.

Guess the lads finally can get some practice in, instead of sending all the 105/155mm to Ukraine.

Oh yeah "Fast Foods"  sumthin we can all sink our teeth into.

I discovered why Chick-fil-A restaurants when compared to other fast food world wide restaurant franchised chains are so successful

It's not about, Chicken rather Beef.

It's not about appealing to Christian values by
closing on Sundays.

Chick-fil-A restaurantsuccess isn't about their fast food menu choices or better quality food than other fast food chains

Chick-fil-A restaurant success is the results of their outstanding employee training program.
They actually developed their fast foods restaurant employee  training program by virtually copying McDonald's University training course with a one simple change. 

Chick-fil-A restaurant employees/drones are instructed to say after each customers sentence:

"My Pleasure"

In Chinatowns across the globe and in China
"My Pleasure"  didn't literally translate well for English speaking customers .

English speaking customers thought they were saying:

"Sucky too"

I've gotten to know some people who are career fast food employees.  Any with ambition want to work for Chic because the pay is better.  Apparently hiring there is very selective.

The best fries I've ever had were at Spears Artic Circle and Twin Oaks Barbecue.  Both are in Georgia and both feature battered fries.

The second best were at Burger King in the early 70s when they were thin cut and fried in all beef tallow and sprinkled with some kind of seasoning salt.  Those only lasted a couple of years.

I've gotten to know some people who are career fast food employees.  Any with ambition want to work for Chic because the pay is better.  Apparently hiring there is very selective.

The best fries I've ever had were at Spears Artic Circle and Twin Oaks Barbecue.  Both are in Georgia and both feature battered fries.

@Peter Wyngarde we want a complete report on the UK version of Wendy's.

@PolkaDot glad you've re-graced us with your posts.

Is there a go-to item you're supposed to get if you're at a Wendy's? Always assuming they have similar menus here, of course.

IF I'm doing a Wendy dinner, which is about every 3 years?.. I get the Dave's Triple with Cheese. If memory serves me their fries are sub-par to other places, although I was told that they have stepped up the fry game. Their chicken nuggets are better than McDonoods.

Baconator or Breakfast Baconator.

Breakfast baconator?  I never knew. THAT must be new!

Thankfully I'm in pretty good shape at the moment so it shouldn't wreak too much havoc, but fucking hell the way you lot just casually put that stuff down your cakeholes is both amazing and horrifying.

You could go with a Dave’s Single.  It’s a cheese burger they drag through the garden so at least you are getting some veggies.  It comes in at 590 calories which should satisfy your effeminate sensibilities, there princess.

Calories = 780 - not bad actually. It was quite enjoyable.

There's a YouTube video explaining how they can be so cheap. Shit for ingredients and things like using condensed or dry mixes only using water from the local location.

Didn't manage to do it yesterday, I'll have to do it later in the week. It's a bit out of my usual way and I couldn't quite fit it in. But I am determined to tough it out and remember that my grandparents lived through the Blitz so this cardiac arrest in a box can't be any worse.

As mentioned the other day, I went to see 2001 - A Space Odyssey in IMAX last night. Jesus Christ, that film is creakier than the prosthetic hip @Walks_At_Night got with that GroupOn offer. Seeing it on a giant screen does it no favours and overall it comes across as a load of old balls that must have looked good 50 years ago to a bunch of stoned assholes but it looks really pretentious now. Boring too. I thought that perhaps the last 20 minutes might benefit from being seen on a big screen but if anything it's even more annoying when blown up like that. And a few of the bits got some unintentional laughs.

They're doing a stage version of Dr Strangelove later this year that I might go to see. I think that's about the only Kubrick that I really enjoy. I can watch bits of The Shining but all in one go it's usually too much.

I was also anally raped in the bar before the screening. £6.40 for a beer that was barely more than half a pint. FFS!!

I tried some coffee bags the other day. Now, I wasn't expecting much but they were pretty good overall. So, what is your preferred coffee making method?

Starbucks is more like satanic than underwhelming.  But what a business plan. Buy the cheapest coffee available. Burn it so that the coffee is undrinkable. Then convince people to add stuff to it to make more of a milkshake and charge extra for the extra stuff.

The best chains near me are local and regional. And my Bernie supporting, far left college professor niece makes very good coffee.

Stay away from the chains, they aren’t worth the price.  McDonald’s has great coffee IMO, and it’s inexpensive.  As far as making coffee goes, a simple Mr. Coffee maker works just fine.  My Grandparents used a percolator, seemed like it made a decent cup of coffee.  What brands of coffee do you have over there?  I’ve never been much of a coffee snob.  Folgers, Maxwell House, both good.

I saw Lawrence of Arabia a few years ago. It wasn't on IMAX but if you've only seen it at home then you've only had half the experience. I thought perhaps this would convince me it was worth watching, since I'd never liked it before. Oh well, you live and learn and I've never seen anything on a screen that big before.

I used to like making coffee with a Moka pot - it's like a percolator you put on the stove. But I lost mine and my ever got around to getting a new one. If you like strong black coffee then it's worth a try.

We don't have Folgers, but we have Maxwell House. The ubiquitous and iniquitous Starbucks sells their own brand. I like Illy, which is reassuringly expensive. I generally prefer coffee that's so thick and strong the spoon stands up on its own.

I was reading the biography of the actor Brian Blessed a while ago ('Gordon's Alive!') where he went into detail about what a genius O'Toole was but at the same time what a genuinely scary maniac he was as well. The other Hellraiser types like Richard Harris and Oliver Reid were just playing a part, O'Toole was the real thing. He'd just walk into restaurants and trash the place and start fighting people.

Yes. You've probably heard the story about Lee correcting Peter Jackson about the sound a man makes when he's knifed in the back - as he had seen it (and presumably done it) first hand. He was also related to Ian Fleming (I think his brother was his stepfather). O'Toole might even have been more deranged than Tom Baker - which is no easy feat since he's notoriously out of his fucking mind.

... As mentioned the other day, I went to see 2001 - A Space Odyssey in IMAX last night. Jesus Christ, that film is creakier than the prosthetic hip @Walks_At_Night got with that GroupOn offer. Seeing it on a giant screen does it no favours and overall it comes across as a load of old balls that must have looked good 50 years ago to a bunch of stoned assholes but it looks really pretentious now. Boring too. I thought that perhaps the last 20 minutes might benefit from being seen on a big screen but if anything it's even more annoying when blown up like that. And a few of the bits got some unintentional laughs...

The first time I watched 2001 it seemed sort of terrible and boring, but thinking I must have missed something I saw it again 10-15 years later.  I'm convinced it's one of those movies no one actually likes, but we're not supposed to say so.


... £6.40 for a beer that was barely more than half a pint. FFS!!

That's not my image of the UK at all.  Well, maybe the £6.40.  When he set it down in front of you, should've asked where the rest of it was.

Coffee?  I drink it at the local coffeeshop when I go there, since that's what they've got, and at the office since it's free, but I've never made it at home or had it any other time.

I should have swiped the glass actually, got something for my money. They were selling beer upstairs too (I bought mine in the bar downstairs) in plastic cups so it was probably cheaper there. It was quite nice but not worth half that. The prices here are out of control. How much do they charge in a typical bar over there?

I definitely think there's a kind of critical wall of silence, with a few chin-stroking pseuds telling us how great it is even though it really isn't.

I saw Lawrence of Arabia a few years ago. It wasn't on IMAX but if you've only seen it at home then you've only had half the experience. I thought perhaps this would convince me it was worth watching, since I'd never liked it before. Oh well, you live and learn and I've never seen anything on a screen that big before. Oddly, the bit that worked the best was the 'Dawn of Man' sequence, the space stuff hasn't worn well at all.

Lawrence and Ben-Hur were two older films that popped into mind regarding IMAX.  Perhaps Tora! Tora! Tora! as well.

If I'm having a beer it's probably from the refrigerator.  One or two isn't really going to do anything for me except empty out my wallet, any more than that and it's illegal to drive home.  Whenever I do go out I vaguely notice beer prices are high enough I don't want one anyway.

PS, Trader Joe's is just great.  They charge 1/6th of the 6-pack price for single beers, so you can try them all without buying 6 of each.

Yes, it's one of those books that has so much interesting detail you'll find something on almost every page. Glad you're enjoying it.

If this is some ploy to get more people to take the train, it probably won't work.

Ok Ellgab. I'm looking at two, free, online courses. I'd normally take a technical course but looking at trying a class for fun. I'll only have time for one of the two. Which looks better?

  • Film, Images & Historical Interpretation in the 20th Century: The Camera Never Lies (https://www.coursera.org/learn/film-images/home/info) out of London
  • Baseball into the Millennium (https://www.coursera.org/learn/baseball-into-the-millennium) out of CU Boulder

Or the hell with fun and go with a game theory class (https://www.coursera.org/learn/combinatorial-game-theory) out of Georgia Tech?

Fodor's telling people to stay away from the U.P.   They list all these world famous places to avoid - Venice, Athens, Mount Fujii and then they slide the U.P. into the list.  Odd but it is a good addition I suppose. Probably tied with North Dakota as the most obscure place in the lower 48. It is also my favorite place on the planet.

The book I'm reading is a travel/adventure about two young women who right after finishing college foolishly decided to travel to China in 1986, right after it opened to tourists.  But before China was really ready for tourists.  It's the same year I went and traveled around for a while, they came right around the time I was leaving.

So many of their observations and experiences were so similar to mine, although at least I had a home base there to come and go from for R&R between excursions, and not just be endlessly on the road there.  In the book, she's very entertaining in relating their experiences with humor and sarcasm. 

Anyway, I'm reading it in a cafe at lunch time, laughing a little, and a couple of people now and then peek at the cover - the back of a woman's head with chopsticks tied up in her hair, with the title ''Undress Me In the Temple of Heaven'' - they then wrinkle their noses and walk away.  Wait!  It's not what you think!  Lol.

That's pretty funny.  Was eating lunch with Hillbilly Jim at Bojangles Chicken and Biscuits [fast food and pretty darn great] over near Duke University once. The Hillybilly was wearing a T-Shirt with a bunch of Japanese characters on it [have no clue what it was saying]. A young Asian lady [presumably a student] came over and started ripping on him about cultural appropriation and how he ought not to be wearing such as thing as white dude.  She chapped him because instead of taking the fury for a short time, he would have normally started working it with an eye on turning the tables and getting in her pants. Instead he want on the attack. In his broadest and proudest Appalachian accent he told her that she should mind her own beeswax and stop appropriating his culture by eating the fried chicken and that she should GTFO and leave the premises immediately.  She got all red in the face and GTFO immediately.

Moving to a ground level walk-in unit. Very happy about it. No more elevators and stairs. Walk right out to a small walkway that leads to the sidewalk. 14' ceilings of which I have mixed feelings about but I like the pipes and ducts right out in the open up there. Makes it like a NYC loft. OH! FULL floor to 8' windows in the front. I can do some serious people watching.  ;D  Little seating area out front for a small patio set is ok-ish.  One of the cons is that I lose my larger horseshoe kitchen to just one long wall type kitchen. No island for my barstools, but they can go right in front of the large windows with my liquor table where they'll fit nicely. Doing this for Vera. Stairs are becoming a bit of a problem and the elevators are quite literally a full block and a half away so fuck that.  Damn dog.

Price: $292,000 for a 720 sq ft condo. No thanks. I'll rent the bitch until I find a place with a yard and lawn to mow where I can fully exorcise my yard OCD.

They're all dropped off elsewhere. Our neighborhood doesn't lend itself to any of it. There isn't any place to set up a single tent, let alone a "Trudeau Town" of tents. That and the amount of cops around here.

Do you have a special folder for your anti-British pictures? It's either that one or the cunt in the yachting cap. You're skating perilously close to a 'yo mama' response but I will sheathe the sword because engaging in fisticuffs with a guttersnipe would impair my dignity and possibly ruin the sleekness of my moustache.

Back in my day instructors would often make the entire class sit absolutely still for half an hour or so as some sort of discipline or personal sadistic delight. This modern day variation does look a lot more healthy and progressive.

Well the Cruising the Cut guy in the hat is definitely an annoying individual. Although there is something to be admired even there - forgo wife, lineage and hearth. Chuck everything, retire early and spend one days greasing around those ditches of yours. Then get tired of filming it and semi-retire from the retirement.

The chap pictured above is actor Bill Maynard and hardly puts the British in a negative light in the tome below. Although the clientele is Welsh, the young ladies don't seem to mind that and are quite eager to to come and live in your land of storms and gales.
So anti-British? An emphatic no but on the otherhand, if the shoe fits, wear it!

I know who he is, sonny. I can say with complete confidence that you aren't going to be able to name a Britisher in light entertainment from those days that I'm not at least passingly familiar with.  It would be different now, as I haven't had a TV for over thirty years so I'm about as out of touch as a person can be without living on a desert island. Whenever they have one of those 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here' shows, I'm almost guaranteed to not know virtually any of them.

I read recently that there has been a rise in rabies infection in the global animal kingdom.  The county I live in has seen an increase of the virus in cats, skunks, and bats in the last few years.  Maybe it has to do with general population increases?  I’ve seen (and heard) a lot more coyotes lately than I have in the past.

I remember early on in my stay in the midwest, I saw a squirrel acting very aggressively. I called animal control and expressed my concern it might have rabies. Animal control said that whatever would have given it rabies would have killed it. That is it good theory and all but there is something that they might have overlooked.. Bats. If you feed a bat, you could get rabies because of their saliva.

Not surprised at the nonchalant attitude of animal control.  About six years ago, I was out delivering meds to an apartment complex which was near a wooded area.  There was a pretty sizable population of feral cats in the area.  The residents of the complex had set up feeding stations around the buildings for the little bastards.  As I was coming out of the community center, someone called out to me with a question.  I was backing out the door as I answered and right at that exact time, a cat ran around the side of the building, running from another cat, ran into me then bit me in the calf.  I only had a short time to deliver the rest of the meds so I didn't check my leg until later.  I found that it had bitten me pretty deeply, my sock had absorbed the blood.  I called into work and our insurance gal instructed me to go to our local ER to get it checked out.  While waiting forever, I did some research and found that cats and bats were our leading carriers of rabies in the county the previous year.  When I was finally seen, an intern cleaned the wound and gave me a tetanus shot.  I asked him about rabies.  He said if it had been a dog bite, they'd have started me on the rabies series, but since it was a cat, no.  I pointed out my findings about scum ridden cats in our county and he said they didn't keep immunoglobulin on site.  He also said the odds of the cat having rabies was one in a million.  I explained that a boy who had lived in our house before we purchased it had passed away from a snake bite.  I told him that I knew  the doctor in MO who passed away from a Brown Recluse bite (the only known fatality from such a thing at the time). He directed me to the county health department.  Went there and the NP that was running the place suggested I catch the cat that bit me so it could be tested.  She asked if I could identify it.  I told her all I saw was its black ass (not racist, that's what color it was) as it ran around the corner.  I told her there must be something like 30 cats in the area, most of them black in color.  She decided to start me on the rabies series.   I asked about immunoglobulin.  She said they didn't keep it on hand because of the cost and its short shelf life.  I called into work and spoke to the insurance lady to tell her what was going on.  She advised me to wait for her to call me back.  About twenty minutes later, I get a call from an agent from Berkshire Hathaway who instructed me NOT to take the series until after I received immunoglobulin.  He sent me to a KC hospital that had immunoglobulin on hand.  I received nine excruciating shots around the bite area.  The doc reckoned that he used about $10K worth of the stuff.  He set me up to receive a series of vaccinations over the next few weeks.  I got the invoice in the mail...just under $24K!  Thank you Warren Buffet for picking up the tab!

Not hearing a train horn should be a disqualifier for licensing. He is lucky because he could have easily been spun around and pushed right back into the train. Before seeing the video, I was expecting the train to hit from the passenger side.

Ultimately, he shouldn't be driving and he should be cited and held responsible for all the damage.

The fact that made me laugh doesn't lessen my wish for Kathy to creep into your shack in the middle of the night and sit on your face.

I posted some photos to flickr if you want to see. I was absolutely stuffed and had trouble finishing it by the end. The burger was huge and it was a struggle getting my face round it. It was pink in the middle with some nice charring on the outside so much better than your McD's stuff. The fries were good and I had one of those little paper cups with mayonnaise in honour of the Big Guy.

Nevertheless, I found the experience a bit traumatising. I'm a champagne bar/opera house sort of guy and these brushes with the dregs of humanity do leave me rather exhausted. I've got the theatre later so I'll have to pull myself together.

How you people consume so many of these in a day astounds me.

That bottle of water cost me three quid too. Not insufferably loud, but it was central London at lunchtime so loud enough.

I was surprised how close I came to throwing in the towel. It was expensive, but to give them credit they do the burgers while you wait and they were pretty good, not the highly processed stuff you get elsewhere.

There's a 5 Guys place within walking distance from where I live, it's actually steps closer than Trader Joe's, but I haven't ever been.  My kids like it though.

LOL  the D-Big mac was two weekends ago, but point taken. Asshole.

But seriously, in my defense, Boston Market isn't really a burger place. It's more BBQ and roast chicken with all the sides. Yes, earlier I did say that it may be a burger day, but it occurred to me when typing out the initial post that I will be passing by Boston Market, thus negating the burger. Therefore, this entire exchange has been a colossal waste of both our time.

@Billy Joe Mulgreavey     20MM Anti-Aircraft gun.  Dad apparently nabbed a couple of souvenirs from the Destroyer he served on. He was a Torpedoman's Mate so he worked with the torpedoes and depth charges and wouldn't have been working the anti-air stuff.  Near the end of the war, they removed the half of the torpedo tubes and replaced them with 40MM anti-air guns - the Japanese had limited surface capabilities left by then but plenty of Kamikaze's. So he helped keep the the 40MM loaded.

By the way, everything comes with a trigger warning these days. Even tonight, which was so vanilla, came with a warning about possibly upsetting scenes. What a bunch of pussies. When I spend money to go out I want, nay demand, debauchery and fucked up shenanigans.

In these parts, the warnings are for depictions of two-parent families, straight sex and competent white people.

When you've got people like BJM in the audience, with her green hair and nose stud, I guess you've got to be careful. Anything that hints at straight sex is going to make it call the manager immediately.

There's a Safeway sized Asian grocery store on the way home that I shop at, that has an ok buffet in the back that I like to get a plate from and take home once in awhile.

Their best item is a veggie dish consisting of something with a slender stalk or stem that has smallish leaves on the end, steamed to a nice crunch, stacked like logs, and some sort of sauce poured over them.  It's gotta be in the bok choy family.  I can go into Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc, places, have a meal, and usually be able to reverse engineer what I had and prepare it at home if it's something I really like - unless it requires some spice I can't identify or kitchen utensil or something I don't have - sometimes with an assist from Google.

This buffet doesn't have any names on anything, I don't recognize the vegetable, the cooked version doesn't look like anything in the produce section, and I can't quite suss out the sauce - soy sauce and some garlic, mixed with something thicker - like plum or oyster sauce or something like that.

I ask the cashier what's that and she tell me ''green vegetable''.  I describe it to others who I know should know, who tell me the same thing, ''oh we call that green vegetable''.  Um, ok, what's the sauce?  ''Soy sauce''.  What else.  ''Garlic''.  Dang it, I know all that, and googling 'green vegetable' isn't going to help me much.

I'm never going to be able to make this at home.

It's a long thin stem some as big around as a little finger, some less, on some there is a main stem with a couple smaller stems coming out of the side, the stems all end with a 1-2 inch long slim leaf - that look like smaller versions of bok choy leaves.  The whole thing is dark green, the leaves a bit darker than the stem.  There must be 20 different kinds of bok choy but it doesn't really look like any of them.

Oh shit, that's more or less what it looks like, choy sum, I never would have guessed that - since I never heard of it.  Missing ingredient - peanut oil - that could be right.  I knew a last desperate toss out to the forum might work.  Thanks!

Turns out choy means... vegetable (Cantonese?), bok choy is loosely defined as white vegetable and choy sum is flowering vegetable, it's a member of the mustard family..

And, well, it's pretty good if prepared properly.

Neither are you, judging by that goat fuck moon shit you idiots have currently been spending all your money on. If you've got all that money to spend on someone being fucking useless then give it to me.

And by 'we' I mean all the decent people, the ones who don't spend all their time stuffing burgers in their hideous fat, sweaty faces.

Fuck the both of you Queen's King's subjects.

American children were offered flavored potatoes as a wartime food staple. When I learned that, I dipped and, as @PolkaDot and the Iron Chef agree, the salt and sweet works well together.

Give Ireland back to the Irish...
Wow, okay, things are getting a bit gross in here. Sean really got Pete's undies in a twist and it's not as pretty as one could have hoped. Oh well.

I hate it when I agree with @sean92008 so we'll just gloss over this incident and move on. Pete the English should be able to appreciate that. On the flip side though, I would encourage @Peter Wyngarde to be a bit daring and step a pinky toe outside of his comfort zone occasionally- your kind aren't known for their good food- only beer.

Sorry bro, we've seen too many of the Queen's subjects here to think you're all slim and trim.  From what I see every day, I'd say the Brits are fatter on average than Americans, but I haven't been to flyover county in years.

Ok, according to Wiki the US is #13 with 42% of the population obese.  Lol.  UK is 86th with *only* 20%.  I'd like to see some more granular stats, whether it's across the board or narrowing down exactly who these people are.

Still nothing to brag about, would it be fair to say the fattest of them fly here at higher percentage than the skinny ones, maybe for the fast food and country fair culture?  And what's going on in the South Pacific, with them holding the top 8 slots?

Talking about Wendy's, I actually had it confirmed by an American friend of mine that people really do dip their fries in a chocolate frosty. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Seriously, I want to know! I thought it was a joke.

For the same reason some people dope them in vinegar, I suppose. Quite frankly, I would prefer vinegar. Nothing remotely warm comes anywhere near my frosted malt.

And double hot sauce in the chili, for that matter.

I thought it was pretty good. My taste buds are still a bit sub par but I thought I'd try anyway. I think I prefer this to Five Guys, which was just too big. I liked the burger, which had a big slice of tomato and fresh lettuce. Fries were OK but I probably prefer McDonald's. I liked the Frosty, basically a semi melted ice cream. There's hardly anyone in here, compared to the monkey house of McD's and Five Guys.

Overall a solid 7/10. Would go again. Reasonable price, just under a tenner.

If you ever go back to Wendy's and are not too hungry, try their Chili. It is not bad at all. I never thought too highly of 5 Guys personally. It is expensive and we have a small local chain ]Char-Grill] here that is much better at that price. It's a 50's style place, so the cook is a 40 year old guy, wearing a paper hat, who is jamming out to the Big Booper whilst grilling away.  Good stuff.

Fresh ingredients. All in all, pretty good. Pleasantly surprised. Worth the extra, I think. It didn't have the frenetic feel of the other places either.

Here they have a large and small.  The small is really not all that much.  I usually get the large and that's it.  It is great that they offer baked potatoes but I've found them to be hit and miss.  Sometimes they are good and others a wrinkled over cooked mess. Looking at your pictures it looks like your location is well run so maybe get a small chili and a baker.

Usually the prime seats are lower level behind home plate. Then the next desirable are mid-level between first base and third base. Having a little elevation gives you a better view of the game. If you are behind home plate, a lower level is desirable because then you can hear everybody talking and saying nasty stuff to each other.

The geometry involved in baseball has always interested me. As a mature game, where the defensive players go has been well worked out depending on where the ball is hit and whether there are men on base, even though it looks like a mad scramble. Then there are pitchers battles where there is not much offense but still great play.  Baseball is more a game of fine points than most folks realize.  It's also played by more normal-sized people - no seven footers or 350 pounders.

It's complex and takes a while to understand, sort of like understanding what's going on in the midfield in futbol.
Title: Re: Whatever: The Open Lines Thread
Post by: Walks_At_Night on February 29, 2024, 04:05:04 AM
If you can get back behind home plate, you'll have a great view of the battle between the pitcher and hitters. The pitchers at that level can be amazing.

If you get a seat along the foul lines or behind the dugouts close to the field, you really need to pay attention when the ball is in play. It can come into the stands hot.  Wouldn't want you or yours to get a second mouth opened up catching one in the noggin.

Thanks for all the advice. Unfortunately I provided some dud info and they're not all the same price after all. The seats you recommended are more like 500 quid, so I could probably fly to NY and back, see a game, dine at Nobu, and come back again, and still have change from £500.

Unless they're throwing in a box of Cubans, a free bar, and a couple of hookers, I think 500 fish is a little excessive.
So, it looks like I'll be in the bleachers if I want to go. At least I'll be safe from any fly balls, as It'll feel like I'm watching from the fucking moon right up there.

Pictured is my studio desk. I love it but I hate it. I hate the fake wood laminate cover that looks so out of place.  I want it black. Anyone know of a flexible type of covering I can apply to the two levels you see in the picture?  can't paint over it.   i could place a black bed sheet over it ::)

You could try self stick veneer (https://wisewoodveneer.com/) - would be a pain to get cur right and then of course you have the band on the edge to deal with.  You could also get a hunk of 1/4" plywood and paint that.  The band on the edge is still an issue.  If it was me, I'd prime, paint and then cover it with a layer of polyurethane.  See if you can find a piece of scrap laminate to try the paint/poly on first.

The storm will create potentially deadly travel conditions along two major arteries in California.

"Donner Pass, California, along Interstate 80 and segments of I-5 in Northern California to Siskiyou Summit in southern Oregon are likely to close," Rayno added.

There is a high risk of motorists becoming stranded due to the incredible snowfall rates and the likelihood that road crews will be unable to keep up with the storm until it concludes late this weekend. This includes roads to and from the ski resorts in the region. Conditions may be life-threatening for those who become stuck outdoors in the storm.

The combination of heavy snow and high winds is likely to lead to power outages that could take many days, if not weeks, to resolve in isolated areas. Those in backwood locations will need a safe means of heat and plenty of food. Experts warn that chimneys and exhaust from furnaces will need to be kept open to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

I don't think you're asking the right question. But in answer you could use contact paper- it'll come off easy when you want to replace it, but it'll be hard to make look nice because of the curves.

The answer that you really need is you'll need to rough it up gently with sandpaper and put 2 coats of paint over it with a poly topcoat.

Or just buy a black desk .

The bottle of fish flavored cat urinary tract supplement was on the kitchen counter. A walking distance of approximately 20 feet to where I was sitting.

I heard a little bit of a ruckus but I was busy doing something.

The industrious cat who has learned the command of "lay down" rolled the damn bottle all the way to me...

Post by: Up All Night on March 26, 2024, 01:52:53 AM
Cargo Ship strikes Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge causing great collapse

Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key_Bridge_collapse

The ship involved, Dali, is a Singapore-registered cargo vessel. The 229-metre-long (751 ft) ship left Baltimore at 01:00 EDT for Colombo, Sri Lanka.[8] It struck a column of the bridge at 01:27 EDT. The bridge strike and collapse was recorded on video.[9] The bridge broke apart in several places following the collision.[10] A Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) spokesperson said vehicles were on the bridge at the time it collapsed, including one that was the "size of a tractor-trailer". The Dali caught fire and appeared to sink,[6] with a section of the bridge landing on its front part.[7]

Serious thought here I thought tugboats regularly patrolled channels like that. I guess, if all their power was out, they probably didn't have any radios working either...

While seated in your car with a seatbelt on, a straight drop would probably be survivable, drownings another story, but with all that infrastructure falling around, I would imagine there's some pretty concussive shit going on that would incapacitate anybody in the cars...

I doubt any of the construction workers survived.  Falling into frigid water with heavy work boots on would make it almost impossible to swim.  Also, it definitely looks like the vessel was experiencing some type of propulsion / rudder problem, as we all noticed the ship's power blinking on and off.

Why did it change direction right before the strike?

Watching the video, to me, it seemed that the ship stopped it's forward motion, as if it was in reverse, but then, the ship then started moving toward the bridge and hit the support, causing the complete collapse of that part of the bridge.

I'd like to know who and when was the idea to add concrete abutments to the Key Bridge voted down??? Certainly they must have considered adding extended concrete abutments after the 1980 Florida bridge disaster, and the Skyway Bridge rebuild, completed in 1987.

National Transportation Safety Board officials boarded the ship to recover information from its electronics and paperwork and to interview the captain and other crew members, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said during a separate news conference. Twenty-three people, including two pilots, were on the ship when it crashed, she said.

The vessel was also carrying 56 containers of hazardous materials including corrosives, flammables and lithium ion batteries, Homendy said. She added that some containers were breached, and that a sheen on the water from those materials would be handled by authorities.

Marcel Muise, NTSB investigator in charge, laid out a preliminary timeline assembled from the voyage data recorder comprising audio from the bridge and VHF radio ahead of the crash, which federal and state officials have said appeared to be an accident.

The vessel, the Dali, left port at 12:39 a.m. Tuesday and, after it entered the channel, signs of trouble came at about 1:25 a.m. when numerous alarms sounded, according to the NTSB. About a minute later, steering commands and rudder orders were issued, and at 1:26 a.m. and 39 seconds, a pilot made a general radio call for nearby tug boats.

Maryland Transportation Authority data from about the same time shows the pilot association dispatcher called the transportation authority’s officer on duty about the blackout, the NTSB said.

Just after 1:27 a.m., the pilot commanded the ship to drop an anchor on the left side of the ship and issued added steering commands. About 20 seconds later, the pilot issued a radio call reporting that the Dali had lost all power approaching the bridge.

At about that time, the state transportation officer on duty radioed two of its units already stationed at each end of the bridge saying to close the bridge to vehicle traffic. They were already there because of the construction.

Around 1:29 a.m., when the ship was traveling at about 8 mph (13 kph), recordings for about 30 seconds picked up sounds consistent with it colliding with the bridge, the NTSB said. A Transportation Authority dash camera also shows lights on the bridge going out.

At 1:29 a.m. and 39 seconds, the pilot reported to the Coast Guard that the bridge was down.

Muise said experts will review the entire voyage data recording and develop a detailed transcript.

At least eight people initially went into the water when the ship struck the bridge column, and two of them were rescued Tuesday, officials said.
