It doesn’t matter your age, put up a bird feeder and you’ll soon hate squirrels. You spend $40 on a bag of seed and they’ll scoop out all the stuff that they don’t want to get to the stuff they do want. Seed on the ground attracts animals you don’t want like rodents or Canadian geese that shit all over. I found it easier to pay the squirrels off like the mafia. Buy a bag of corn or cheap peanuts and sprinkle some around to appease the bastards. It sucks but it’s worth it in the long run.

I’ll drive slower on my way home if there’s a good song playing. Just sitting there seems weird. What’s up with all the people recording themselves on video while sitting in their car?

I wear flannels

A family member was eating nothing but fruit and really messed himself up. I forget exactly what happened but he lost muscle control on one side of his body.

Lotsa butt hurt stuff there too

I notice the rain predictions are quite a bit more accurate in the cooler months. You can see a weather front traveling west to east as it comes across the country (I’m in US) and rains can last all day. During the hotter parts in summer rain clouds appear out of nowhere usually in the afternoon and rains are heavy but brief. This happened here in NE Ohio just an hour ago. There was no forecast for rain that I was aware of but suddenly we got doused for twenty minutes.

I had the same thought! During the immediate immigration from the other place it seemed like there was a reckless attempt to imitate which is unfortunate. What shall we call it?

A vote for RFK is one less vote for Trump. A vote for Biden is twice that

I’m also from Ohio. Your vote counts. Besides the tally, elections are about statistics. One of those statistics is trajectory. People who run campaigns take notice. One thing to understand about Ohio politics is that when voted on individually “blue” ideas pass. Abortion access, recreational marijuana, anti gerrymandering but candidates lose. This tells me it’s possible for Dems to win in Ohio, they just suck at getting their message across

Pretty sure I read about this in Joe Navaro’s book What Every Body Says. It’s possibly a sign she is uncomfortable or stressed. My wife in social situations will sometimes start talking like an old Jewish lady from the Bronx, sort of like Fran Drescher. More commonly peoples voices will go up an octave like when asking for a favor.

Help yourself, your pets will love you for it. A couple of tips if you don’t mind: I boil the rotisserie chicken carcass (or any kind of meat and bones) for 10 hours on very low heat and covered. It takes that long to extract nutrients. You can use canned stuff but it’s full of salt. I pour the whole thing into a pie tin (with gelatin) and sprinkle molasses yeast flakes on top. You can find this at health food stores. It’s got lots of nutritional benefits and if your pet ever suffers from a lack of appetite a little on top of their food may help. A little bit goes a long way. Bon appetit!

I make dog treats out of jello by adding chicken stock regularly. The stock comes from boiling rotisserie chicken leftovers. It costs about a dollar per batch. My dogs love it and it’s good for them

Doesn’t salt act as a preservative for food? There are only a couple things I’ll add salt to. Now if we just started eating fresh food and less processed food no doubt we’d be better off. Hell we’d probably offset carbon emissions by eating locally sourced food and not having it delivered to us more than we would by banning fireworks

Get a kiddie pool, fill it, soak your feet in it

She was trying to rattle you. Next time answer ridiculous questions with ridiculous answers

Also worth noting the canned laughter began with radio programs. The Wikipedia page on laugh tracks has a well detailed explanation on the evolution of this under History In The United States on it’s Laugh Tracks page

It’s weird, I grew up watching shows with laugh tracks but now they make me cringe. I can watch reruns of those old shows no problem but if I see a new show and it has a laugh track I’m immediately put off.

Have you read the Wikipedia page? It’s pretty interesting

If you like these kinds of movies (I call them road flicks, linear story line, lots of cameos) I have a few suggestions:

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Cannonball Run

Rat Race

Who’s Minding the Mint?
