GREAT GRAMPA – HE FUNNY! HE LIKE SAIL SHIPS.
SEA SMITH TOO MUCH READ VIRUS LINKSES. HE WANT JUST FUN – SO HE GIVE ADVICE TONIGHT TO FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN LAND HOOMANS. HE TRY THREE DIFFERENT ADVICE! BESTLY ADVICE IN THE SEA.
FIRST ADVICE.
Q: I’m having a wonderful affair with a man. We’re both married, but we’re careful and responsible—it’s what we both need to survive in our marriages, and it’s what’s best for both of us. (Without saying too much, in our situation, divorce would destroy our big, happy, extended immigrant families. I’m not looking for judgment on that.)
The problem is social distancing because of the coronavirus. Our spouses and kids are now both home full time, and getting away to see each other has been impossible. I’m miserable without the sex and companionship, and so is the man I’m seeing. At one point, he suggested meeting in our cars by the grocery store. I obviously declined. Then today, he called me and said to go to my window and waved to me from his car (we live about two neighborhoods apart). I was moved by the gesture, but it worried me. I feel like I am on the verge of doing something risky, and all this time with my husband, who is a kind man, is making me want to lash out and tell him I don’t love him.
A: HAHAHAHA! “all this time with my husband, who is a kind man, is making me want to lash out and tell him I don’t love him” THAT MAKE SEA SMITH LAUGH! YOU CHEAT ON HIM – BUT WORRIED YOU MIGHT TELL NOT LOVE? HAHAHAHA! AND WHY YOU HAVE MENTION “divorce would destroy our big, happy, extended immigrant families” THAT PASSWORD GET ON SLATE?
SEA SMITH SUGGEST GO STICK HEAD IN BUCKET OF VIRUS AND SPARE ALL FROM YOU NUTTINESS.
TWO ADVICE.
Q: My boyfriend is 31 and still goes to his mother’s house and spends the night, even though we live less than 15 minutes away. He knows it upsets me, yet every time she asks him to spend the night, he goes. He left our children home alone while I worked overnight because it was her birthday.
His relationship with his mother is a large part of why we aren’t married, and the fact that he continues to spend the night there is leading to huge fights. Is this normal or not? — FED UP IN OHIO
A: SEA SMITH THINK THIS NO CAN BE REAL. THIS MADE UP “BETACUCK” STORY, RIGHT? RIGHT?!! IF REAL, YOU NEED GO OVER, KICK HE MOM INTO NEARBY POND – SEA SMITH HAVE FRIEND WAITING…
HI MRS. BETACUCK!
NOW YOU HAVE MANLY ALPHA MALE ALL TO SELF….HAHAHAHAHA!
THREED ADVICE.
Q: I went to dinner for the first time in the home of a fellow artist friend and her husband. It was immediately apparent that entertaining was not her forte: Hors d’oeuvres consisted of two bags of chips and two tubs of dip opened on the kitchen counter.
As we sat down for dinner, the hostess tripped on her way to the table and dropped the dish of chicken and potatoes, the entire contents of which landed on the carpet. I offered to help rinse the food, but she just placed it back in the dish and set it on the table.
I was appalled, but not wanting to be rude, I politely ate the food, fighting back a gag reflex. What would you have done?
A: SEA SMITH LIKE THAT YOU FIGHT BACK GAG REFLEX. HE HAVE IDEA FOR YOU… BUT FOR DINNER, HE SUGGEST YOU NOW GET CARPETOVIRUS AND GOING DIE. BYE BYE! HAHAHAHA! NOT FUNNY? OK – SEA SMITH WOULD HAVE SOLVE PROBLEM SAME WAY SOLVE ALL PROBLEM – RAPE EVERYONE AT GATHERING, EAT ALL FOOD AND FURNITURE, THEN SWIM AWAY.
SEA SMITH HOPE YOU LIKE ADVICE – NOW COMMENTS BELONG YOU!
COME ON IN, WATER IS FINE!
Are you sure that person sleeping at “mom’s house” isn’t they guy in the first question?
I wonder as well.
whut
Scrub it in soapy water to be sure.
For as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday
Yeah, either way I would have just gone back for more chips and dip and not eaten the meal.
Yeah. Pizza delivery would have solved that.
Ewww.
Slowly pull out phone, call pizza delivery place, give address of hostess loudly…
I mean, if its a hot dog…sure rinse it off.
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve been sippin’ Bourbon, and after all these years it still sticks in my craw. When I was in the Cub Scouts, which I loved (earned my 1st merit badge for making stuffed peppers), I was at a pack picnic at the den mother’s house and a kid dropped his hot dog on the ground. He picked up the frank and ate it, dirt, grass, detritus, etc.. I exclaimed “Oh God!”. The den mother immediately called my parents to pick me up, and I was kicked out of Cub Scouts for taking the Lord’s name in vain.
A priest was asked to dinner by one of his parishoners who he knew as being an unkempt housekeeper. When he sat down at the table, he noticed that the dishes were the dirtiest that he had ever seen in his life.
“Were these dishes ever washed?” he asked his hostess, running his fingers over the grit and grime. She replied, “They’re as clean as soap and water could get them”. He felt a bit apprehensive but blessed the food anyway and started eating. It was really delicious and he said so, despite the dirty dishes.
When dinner was over, the hostess took the dishes outside and barked, “Here Soap! Here Water!”
*LOUD APPLAUSE*
It was her newest installation, and it was stunning and brave.
Her use of contrast is breath-taking!
And people thought banana on a wall was daring – dinner on the carpet. [stands and applauds as thunderously as one drunk can]
Hopefully the rabble rousers are still on after I make the chillins food
Im on my way. I had to mansplain to Jugsy why she had to leave the room.
“why are you in your underwear?”
“get the fuck out, bitch. Im stoned like a gravel road.”
Oh my.

Can I be citrusy explosive?
YOU IS EXPLODEY CITRUS.
Wrap your grapefruit in duct tape.
Ima throw them straight at Coonman’s mansion.
Explosives of the world, unite!!
On second thought, that is rather a bad idea.
Eh, I don’t think combining explosive glibs could possibly make things worse right now.
I’m more implosive.
Just watch your explosive quantity/distance
Hey, we all wanna see Jugsy in her undies!
Wait until you find out Jugsy is a man with moobs.
I would haz disappoint.
Ok, ok, OMWC see I’m commenting!
IS GUD. WONDER WHERE ALL FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN LAND HOOMANS ARE? ON COMPOOTER VIDEO THINGIE?
yes.
I was reading, Permanent Record, and sipping a whiskey.

Poor that girl a cocktail!
Pour, too many cocktails sorry
Poor me, poor me, pour me another!
Unlike the woman in the first situation and being careful, the woman in situation 3 apparently doesn’t give a shit.
I think I would have remembered an ‘appointment’ in situation 3 and hit McDonald’s
/Grabs a handful of chips on the way out the door
SEA SMITH LIKE WAY X80 THINK!
Dear Steve, the bodies in basement are starting to pike up. I can’t go anywhere without the police following me to make sure I’m out for some “essential” reason. Any ideas?
COUSIN STEVE NO HERE. IT SEA SMITH NIGHT! JUST HAVE BODIES SLEEP WITH FISHES.

SEA SMITH NEED TO GET OUT MORE, DESERT HAS RIVER SMITH, SCORPION SMITH, AND GILA MONSTER SMITH, DESERT KILL HOOMANS!
BUT STEVE SMITH SAY STILL PLENTY OF TOILET PAPER!
TOILET PAPER IN WOODS!
You know what? If it’s the end of the world, I need a 10mm pistol.
Fuck it. The “new caliber” rule is waived.
You’ll know.
The 2 things people do when it’s the end.
1. Hoard toilet paper.
2. Lie like there’s no tomorrow left to lie more.
1 it’s obvious to everyone. 2. I’ve had 2 people in the last 2 days tell me that someone tried to contact me to check up on me when it’s a lie and a goddamn lie.
If you’re going 10mm, then time to pick up a CMMG Banshee to go with it.
Pricey. I like bargains.
As someone (maybe you?) said, give it a couple of months and there could be a flood of used guns onto the market.
I don’t think that was me…
Pretty sure that was Not Adahn.
Well, if there’s someone who has the inside track on the future…
NO, THAT “JOHN TITOR” – WHATCOME HAPPEN HIM?

Rewatched Robots of Death and Wen Chiang last weekend. Gonna have to do Fang Rock this weekend.
All good stuff.
Did you read Scratchman?
First half was spot on perfect. Second half not quite as much, but still good.
Not yet, haven’t got around to it yet.
Exactly how I want to go.
I’m pretty sure you mislabeled esteemed commenter Gojira.
I’m making masks, and I’m still here,
How’s it going Y-sef? Chilling?
I’m sick, but I Made a mask for myself, and people want them, Mo is going to set up an Etsy account, And my Golf Buddy is going to help out with a Big space,
I might get very busy…. But, sick or not, I will not die, I can’t, not allowed….
Just finishing my lovely dinner of Hungry Man soggy chicken fingers, bland mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. There was even a nuked brownie.
Jealous much?
Stouffers Meatloaf and tatoes, back at ya!
Truly, we eat like kings.
From four hundred years ago? Yeah, you do.
Better than most then, even. And far less body lice!
Better than the Riche of 125 years ago.
IT SOUND GUD TO SEA SMITH!
I’m here.
SEA SMITH NOT SURE – PROVE YOU HERE!
Love my people, but that zoom ain’t my thing. Love to all y’all, though.
I can’t watch a movie, let the husband play video games and zoom at the same time. Commenting, for me, for now.
SEA SMITH GLAD EXPLODEY CITRUS COMMENT. MOAR COMMENTER, PLZ.
True. Let’s discuss who has the dumbest handle. I’m thinking “Sean”.
I’m just wondering, has anyone on the glibs site actually ever used the handle ‘Tulpa’ or was that strictly from TOS?
People have used “Tulpa” as part of a larger gag name. Just “Tulpa”? I don’t think so.
Was just wondering. Always lurked on TOS and then lurked here for ages before I finally braved commenting.
On TOS there was a Tulpa – Claimed it was an amalgam of Tulane and Penn…we all cried BS.
Tony.
Wait, I was thinking dumbest person with a handle.
Never mind.
?
I meant the other “Sean”.
I haven’t tried it yet. I’d have to work hard for a quiet place in the house.
Plus today I have felt like crap since about noon. It’s the CoVID plague!!! Run away! Run away!!!
Whatever it is, hope you feel better soon.
Thanks! I’m taking it easy.
SEA SMITH SAY TRY EAT FISHES. THAT WORK FOR SEA SMITH!
Puleeeeeeeze!
You showed up at a jumped up roadhouse (with you squeeze in a dress) to meet a NoDa. I mean sure Tundra and I would be there, but other than that it was nerds everywhere.
Yeah, I use Zoom too much for work.
‘it’s what we both need to survive in our marriages, and it’s what’s best for both of us. (Without saying too much, in our situation, divorce would destroy our big, happy, extended immigrant families. I’m not looking for judgment on that.)’
Yes, I’m sure any judgment would indeed be unwelcome.
The wife says today “You have 3 N95 masks down in the brewing room. Did you know that?”
I replied they were just shop mask for sanding wood. She says nope and goes and gets the 3 masks. Yup, they’re N95s.
So out to the garage to check the partial box. 8 more N95 masks.
I now have something to trade for toilet paper.
Can you even buy non N95 rated masks in hardware stores? Well before this.
No idea. I just assumed they were something special and not the cheap masks I bought at Lowes.
They’re both, N95 is the relatively common rating. The medical ones may have a fluid barrier or viral resistance, and are approved by the FDA. Occupational ones are just NIOSH approved.
Oh hell yeah, you just reminded me that I bought some masks a while back so I could clean out a particularly dusty section of the garage without setting off all my allergies. I went and tracked down the box, found 8 N95s.
I think I’ve three boxes of 20 in the trunk of the car.
HOARDER!!!!!
Yeah, I’m keeping them out of sight just in case.
BIG SMART BLACK BIRD COUNTRY IS KULAK!!!
You could just shove a gun in somebody’s face and get TP for free.
Okay fine…that’s mean.
Sounds like Michigan is going to move covid19 patients from southeast Michigan to the West side of the state. We need to shelter in place to prevent the spread while government intentionally moved the virus around the state. SMDH and Fu Whitmer!
Some of the moves from both state and government organizations like the CDC, make me wonder if they actively wanted to get a real pandemic going to justify their funding. The nonsense about mask wearing comes immediately to mind.
I can’t figure out if it’s conspiracy or incompetence.
I’m embracing the healing power of and. I think some people really do want it to get bad, for all sorts of misguided and evil reasons, and some people are just actively stupid.
Evil and stupid. Potent combination.
And the evil stupid are in power.
Never bet against incompetence, especially in government.
I’m triggered by all three…
Feed your cheating spouse some floor food and go to your mother’s. You’ll feel better in the morning.
^THIS HOOMAN SMART!^
Why are you breeding with a man you don’t even like?
HER DUM?
That one just can’t be real.
Oh but it can. I meet all kinds of people through my work. I distinctly remember one couple in which the woman clearly held the man in contempt. Notwithstanding that, they had 2 kids together.
But who is the biological father of those kids?
Unbelievably, the advice by Slate for the first one wasn’t completely horrible.
Friday Funbags.
http://archive.li/wRkoT
#5
Well, all of those advice questions are a bit horrifying.
I would have said fake.
So.. actually asking advice. Found out today my mother in law is in a hospital in OKC and on a ventilator (no, it’s not wuflu, she’s been in and out of the hospital every month for years) and this time it sounds actually serious. I’m definitely not flying. Any thoughts on what preparations we’d need to take, plus how much trouble I can anticipate, trying to drive with a truck and travel trailer from VA to OK in order to get the situation taken care of? That counts as the sort of essential travel I don’t need papers for in our new commie regime, right?
I’d personally go with “Fuck off, slaver, his mother is in the hospital”.
That I even have to think about this is why I’m pretending this is March until the lockdown is over. So happy, March 34th.
Lousy Smarch weather.
You might have to plot out the trip because every state is different. That said, apart from the BS Rhode Island is engaging in, I haven’t heard any report about people being pulled over.
If you can, get something from the hospital (email, whatever). If not, just print out the contact page for the hospital and tell any jackboots to call the hospital themselves.
Other than that, I wouldn’t worry too much. Camping/lodging and food options might be a bit challenging but hardly insurmountable. Attached travel trailer probably helps but also limits drive thru places en route.
That’s what we’re thinking. Letter from the hospital. And we have a generator, so as long as we fill up the water tanks before we leave, we’re good for at least a week until we get to our destination. As long as they don’t close the truck stops, too, although I’d always pay for a campsite over taking a spot intended for truckers to rest.
Aren’t most of the states closing campgrounds because FYTW?
Yes. Even WVa canceled our reservations. We were supposed to escape this shitshow tomorrow. They called us and offered “You can cancel and get a refund, or you can pull out of your space, check out every day and then check back in for another single night.” If we can make it to OK, we can just plug in in the MILs driveway and be fine.
Will the hospital let you in? We have a friend who just had major surgery, and they won’t let his wife see him.
Nope. We won’t be able to see her, but she lives entirely alone, has no relatives in-state and will need someone to settle out the house and take care of funeral arrangements, etc. If it comes to that. Plus, hubby is understandably upset about the whole situation.
That really sucks. We’re so sorry.
What’s the difference between a bag of cocaine and a child?
Eric Clapton wouldn’t let a bag of cocaine fall out a window.
Well this is unfortunate placement.
I fucking LOLed. Thank you, CJ.
Some good came from it!
Would your aborted baby know your name if it saw you in Heaven?
I’m drunk. So I loled at that, too, TH.
What’s the best thing about fucking twenty-seven-year-olds?
There’s twenty of them!
Drunk enough to laugh at that, too.
I like your attitude.
Sorry. No advice that I can office.
Man, everybody here really needs to turn off their friggin’ autocorrects.
Auttocorroy I’d tee only tings that kepps mw evun remoteli cowherdunt.
Fuck.
Just heard the hospital took her off the ventilator and she’s doing better. Hopefully the rest of this madness will clear up before she has another episode.
That’s good news.
So…gonna drop this here. They buried my cousin yesterday, but I couldn’t go due to COVID paranoia. There’s going to be a celebration of his life “when we can”. FUCK OFF, SLAVER.
Everything about all of this is awful. I’m toasting to ‘fuck off, slaver’ as well.
Good call, CitrusExplosive!
IT EXPLODEY CITRUS!
I’m sorry. This is indeed paranoia and it fucking sucks in so very many ways.
SEA SMITH SORRY.
HE LIKE: https://www.seaservices.com/anglican.htm
sorry 🙁
Sorry, man.
I hate the slave state for what it does to people in a naked demonstration of power.
Dude, I’m so sorry.
Sorry, buddy.
That so many people are not only applauding the current cower in place orders but begging Trump to take off the mask and make it national makes me very disappointed in a lot of people. Is also why I’m here more often – at least you guys seem to think this is nuts.
Sorry.
Thats awful. My boss lost a parent this week and they told her the same thing.
Sorry dude.

“Hors d’oeuvres consisted of two bags of chips and two tubs of dip opened on the kitchen counter.”
I feel like I’m under attack.
Earthquake in SoCal just now.
Where? that’s what counts….
4.6 near Anza a bit west of the Salton Sea.
Take a guess
4.9 doesn’t seem that bad.
Not sure if this has been updated but it looks like a good source:
https://earthquaketrack.com/p/united-states/california/recent
That’s better than the USGS site. Thanks!
Yep. And I can’t even imagine what that was like. Never even been remotely close to an earthquake. Well, I seem to remember something about a year ago or two ago in southeastern Missouri having one and thinking the day of, before knowing about it, feeling a very, very faint humming/vibration around me for a few seconds…maybe.
Imagine being in a solid structure and it’s suddenly is moving. Woke up to this one about 30 miles away. Similar to experiencing severe turbulence for the first time, where the plane moves in a non-forward direction.
Anza is about 10 miles from my home. Wife and daughter 1 felt it. Daughter 2 and I didn’t feel it.
Emergency design and build, gotta cut a few corners, but as soon as I get some rubber Bands, the Chinee masks can go into production, using the wast from the Badass Bandana production,

After dinner about an hour and a half ago….
And well done!
I started after I’d finished my first few cups of coffee this morning. I test other people’s code for a living. My entire job is pretty much the same as the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different result. So, no surprise I do.
Kids…. you waste your weed with your bad habits,
/Old Stoners Rule!
That was the worst part of the cower in place. Having to make sure we stocked up in advance and just hoping we had enough to last it through this madness.
I basically got laid off work today and am naturally high strung. It’s Friday, I’m indulging.
Plus, I have ziplock bags full of thousands of roaches if the shit hits the fan.
Well all prep in our own way.
*We all
*loads bowl four*
SO say we all!
/Loads fresh bowl…..
Shit. That’s exactly why I’m so furious. I see way too many people suddenly facing unemployment, and I look at wuflu death numbers and unemployment numbers and keep asking “was this response really necessary? we couldn’t have tried something less damaging?” Now I hate the government even more on your behalf.
I’ll be alright. I’ll just hustle up some cash jobs and not claim any taxes on them to fuck them back in my own small way.
And to our government lackey who’s assigned to monitor us(not you, UCS, you’re alright): Go ahead and report me. I don’t give a shit anymore. I owe our government absolutely nothing at this point and if things get really bad I’ll be so far off the grid you won’t find me for years.
If you WANT to be furious, look at Japan’s and Sweden’s Wuhan flu deaths per million compared with your own country. Then look at the ‘something less damaging’ that achieved those statistics.
Even with the worse case projections of millions dead, I’m still not buying that this authoritarian jackboot thuggery is better or that it would save any more lives over all.
Destroying our rights and destroying the economy that supports all of us and keeps us from a life that is brutish and short.
Then again, I’m sharing with someone else, so I guess it’s only technically four.
I’m catching up!

How about a nice burst of earthquakes to break up the monotony of quarantine?
We just had 3 back to back, with the largest being (6:53 PM) magnitude 4.6 and 14 km away.
Not very big, It was LOUD. Our neighbor said it was the first one heard before she felt. It did indeed vibrate the whole mountainside and boulders where our house perches. At first I thought some massive truck had pulled into the neighborhood but it became evident that this was something else.
My house is built on a series of pillars that are built into the granite, so my house is essentially on stilts over granite, with some sort of “earthq2ake shock mounts” going on down there.
4.6? OK, you wait til a 6 pointer comes, then you can get scared…..
Your house is built on Suspect Terraine, yes I spelled that right, SoCal is a mix of debris washed up over millions of years from all over the Pacific Plate, you can’t escape your destiny, Cali will fall into the Sea,
See you down in Arizona Bay
I suppose my next Geology article is in order……

Why did Eric Clapton by Apple?
He had a problem with windows.
I’ve said this before, but corona’s biggest crime is impeding my alcoholism.
This madness has got to stop!
Dilemma. I need some perspective.
My XX TD is almost 17, she’s working at Walmart and loves her job and loves getting paid. She will be going to trade school next year and we will be paying for her second year, so she should be getting her certificate when she’s 19. She is saving her money, so the two biggest worries I had with her are for naught, so I’m a happy camper.
I am trying to sell her on the idea of saving her money for a mid-sized travel trailer (fifth wheel or bumper pull), then financing a decent truck. A roof, transportation, and freedom! She wants a little house where she can rip out the lawn and replace it with moss, and have 2 cats. I want her not to get into a bind and tied up so young. I told her we’d go over price comparisons and all that and make a plan. But …
I always said I wouldn’t foist my dreams and try to redo my regrets, but here I am. So tell me the downsides. Save her from me.
“I always said I wouldn’t foist my dreams and try to redo my regrets, but here I am” Leave her be, help her excel, then let her alone, she doesn’t need you Mom, let her grow.
and you sound like a great Mom!
Take it as compliment that she didn’t feel so sheltered and controlled growing up that she feels the urge to run anywhere and everywhere as soon as possible.
That’s the best I got off the top of my head.
She wants out fast because of her brother, not us, and I agree that he’s a huge part of all her problems. So when I tell her, “I want you out,” she totally gets that that’s me trying to give her what she wants. She also knows she is welcome to stay as long as she’s either going to school or paying rent.
It’s just … my son is crazy-making and he does everything he can to make her miserable.
*sheepish grin*
I was the little brother to an older sister as well.
There’s a sadistic joy to irritating your big sister that’s difficult to put into words.
Ha!
Sorry. Didn’t mean to make light of it, just had a moment of mirth.
“…urge to run anywhere …”
I ran at 17. It was probably the best decision for me. I love my mom but she drives me crazy. Small doses.
I wish my son would run. Not because I want him out, but because I think it would be the best thing he could possibly do for himself. I think if it came right down to it, he’d be able to do it after a few false starts, but …
He won’t. He’s starting to grok how much he depends on us and that he can’t support himself, even in the “style” he’s accustomed (which isn’t great). He knows he needs drugs and therapy and he can’t provide that for himself.
XX knows she will be able to do that once she is allowed (by the state) to work full time, so she has no issues there.
Heh. My mom is super chill and was never crazy, but once my folks split in my early teens she started working nights and found a boyfriend whose home she spent the weekends at, I pretty much never saw her for more than a few minutes at a time most days of the week. Yes, she kept a roof over my head and food in my belly most days, but parenting was pretty much done at that point.
Tiny houses (from a travel trailer owner) are kind of dumb. Why pay 3x the price for a barely as portable house on wheels when they mass-produce beautiful tow-behind and fifth-wheels for a fraction of the price? I’m all for a smaller footprint. I’m not inclined to pay a premium for it, and those tiny houses require at minimum a dually if not something more serious to move. The truck was stupid expensive, but the high-end travel trailer we bought brand new to house four people was still under 30k. And you can still have cats in almost any campground that allows a travel trailer. They’re a popular pet among full-timers. Once my current 18 year old cat finally finishes his run, we’ll be getting a travel cat ourselves.
tl:dr – I fetishize small living spaces and think trailers/fifth wheels are far more practical from a price and practicality standpoint that tiny homes.
I live in tiny home, a 12×48 Trailer, way better than a “tiny Home”
We have a Grand Design Imagine and spend about three months out of every year living in it. I love looking at tiny house designs for storage and organization ideas, but being able to tow with a regular consumer truck and go wherever the fuck we want (when the nation isn’t on a cower in place) is a huge advantage over tiny houses, in my eyes.
A couple of years ago I talked up a tiny home and then left off because I was like, “This doesn’t make sense, but I don’t know why because they’re so kyoooooooooot! How can something so cute be a bad idea?
Forgot about it. It occurred to me today while thinking about a trailer-office that a pull-behind/fifth wheel would be perfect for a 19-year-old single girl with no desire to marry yet who has a decent job.
There are trailer parks across the US (mostly in the oil producing areas) that primarily cater to people who are living in their trailers and working, not sight-seeing. And they’re stupid cheap compared to the prices your average KOA would charge. But yeah, definitely have her look at the prices on used tow-behinds or fifth-wheels (honestly for one person, a tow-behind ought to be fine and you’re less likely to need a 3500 or better to tow it). Some of the kitchens and bathrooms in today’s modern travel trailers easily exceed what you’d get in your average NY studio apartment.
See, that’s what I want! And I’m trying to sell her on it but she’s like … nah, bruh. Sort of. She’s marginally open to the idea, but stuck on a moss lawn. ?
Oh! When I said small house, I didn’t mean a tiny house. I meant like a bungalow or cottage or something.
OH. Totally different situation then. If she’s not looking for mobility, I’m all for buying a small house. I also love travel trailers, still, but think that for the majority of the public the actual ‘tiny homes’ are dumb.
In my looking for an office, I’ve come to see tiny houses as dumb also. They aren’t terribly cute to me anymore.
Mo! Join us in Zoom.
If you’re up for it.
Working, sorry. I can stop by here and snark, etc., while working but not pay attention to conversation.
I think your daughter has a good idea. You are projecting your wishes on her. Her idea is more practical. Leave it alone.
The house will hold value better. If she is not of a vagabond mindset, the small house is likely a better decision.
Depends on if you own the land to put it on, or intend to buy it.
I don’t want her to get in a bind, and I see a house as a bind. An apartment would be a good in-between.
I want her not to get into a bind and tied up so young.
Financing a truck and camper seems to be foreordaining the exact opposite of this.
Gov. Cuomo to sign executive order to take ventilators from upstate hospitals for hospitals in need
He did apologize…

why I don’t Zoom, or Facebook,
Gallon bags of margaritas, gigantic burgers among oversized items for WNY takeout
America is great!
Giant Food! Fuck Yeah!
Tell me when they sell Malatov cocktails.
Watching a news report about a little girl not getting a heart ultrasound because of the governor’s order (whatever state). Things are going to start hitting the fan and parents are going to start screaming bloody murder.
this is now by Design, not a Virus
Will the media give them a voice? All the stories so far are heart wrenching tales of grandpa or dad or mom or sis taken before their time if only someone had acted.
That’s why I posted. I was shocked that this WAS presented by the media AND that the editorial slant was that this is unacceptable (they even used the word “medical rationing”). So I kind of think it’s starting to turn.
From your lips to doG’s ears.
I got a voicemail from one Wendy’s best friends today, asking how she was, I did not want to make that call………
I can only imagine the combined sorrow and awkwardness of the conversation.
(virtual hug)
Thanks H, it was hard, she is a friend of mine as well, and I lost her phone number,
Ah. Had the same problem when my Mom died and I had to respond to friends who’d sent Christmas cards etc. Best to just rip the bandage off and get ‘er done, d00d.
I didn’t have her number, or I would have, imagine me telling her after 2 months Dead, Gotta suck,
I’ll never forget my Wife, but I won’t cry and die over her, Fuck that, She would be pissed,
Sorry.
This probably isn’t what you want to hear, but her best friends should know at some point.
Ban alcohol sales during the pandemic
Doctors are trash and we shouldn’t let them dictate policy.
He should die in a Vat of Everclear……
That’s good. Very good.
Doctors should only be one part of the decisions being made right now by the fuckwits in charge.
Right. When addicts can’t get their fix they just sit there and take it. They’d never do something irresponsible to make things worse for everyone around them.
What would that possibly achieve?
The doc’s hobby horse would get ridden. It needs exercise.
Mob violence?
For sure. Of course, he’s a doctor not a historian.
Go. Fuck. Yourself.
^^ correct answer.
*looks fondly at alcohol reserves*
Unless you are personally searching in alleys and under bridges for the folks who are getting the DTs and are making sure they get immediate treatment, Herr Doktor, please to STFU.
On second thought, no matter what you’re doing, STFU.
And enough about Wendy,
Its funny, all the tactical timmies finally have a legitimate reason to wear their tactical Shemagh

Yay!
Salty,salty linx. And much wisdom.

So many things to pull out
– doing 91 on a section of interstate that is normally stop and go, often stop, during the same period
– OBEY, even though traffic crashes are done inspire of increased number of tickets
– annualized rate of 15,000 child abuse reports? Really? There’s 50k students in the majority school district, so figure maybe 75k kids in their jurisdiction.
– why would you announce no-go zones? Do they think abusers or criminals will honor those?
– recruiting junkets across the country, rather than hiring locally. Seven people. In mid-March when it was fucking clear that traveling wasn’t a great idea.
Tucker showed clips of Fauci saying Covid 19 wouldn’t be a problem for the US as late as January. Fauci also said the lockdown was an “inconvenience” for Americans, but it has to be done. Haven’t checked, but tell me #FuckFauci is trending now.

I have an erection.
Sorry. Those are prohibited during the outbreak.
Is the Zoomba thing still going on?

He is and some of the replies are great. Are we at the end of Atlas Shrugged yet?”

Tonight’s quandry: do I have coffee or oatmeal stout with a cupcake?
Por que no los dos?
I considered it. Decided to save the beer for tomorrow.
Did you bring enough cupcakes for everyone?

It is utterly possible that it was lab designed, maybe that would explain some of this panic. If it was, I believe it was likely from people selling animals out the back door rather than anything purposely, but either way I hope that the Ccp pays a price for this shit.
Don’t blame on malice what is easily blamed on incompetence.
Absolutely, I would be very surprised if it was anything purposely released, but it was very obviously covered up so that the Party could save face. If anything positive comes out of this fucking mess I hope that the Chinese government pays a price in some way.
Oh, I agree…
Where’s your flag from?
Liechtenstein
I hear it’s magnificent in the springtime there.
That would be wonderful. But it will have to come from outside. There is no way the populace can do anything to its leaders.
I’d like to think the ccp would suffer or lose clout. But when I look at bad actors like Iran, KSA, Pakistan, and see that we kiss their ass no matter what is said or done for/to/by them, I lose hope.
Yeah, you are likely right. I am trying hard to see some positive light at the end of this craptastic event.
mornin’ glibbies. any still round here?
i need better coffee. this supermarket stuff is shit. need to order from a hipster roasters. But I am undecided if to keep with the moka pot or give v60 a shot.
It’s all about the press. I still haven’t found a better way to consume coffee (aside from really good espresso in a nice machine).
I dont wanna pay the money for a nice machine
A good stainless steel French press will last decades for a fraction of a machine price. And make excellent coffee, the best.

I have 3 different models from Planetary Design and I love them.
I followed you right up to your last sentence. Moka pot? V60?
Sorta. For a while. In bed so I could drop out w/o warning at any time.
You should not be on the internet in bed. Get a book or something.
Morning Pie. Saw your post late after the next one was up. Excellent work and captured a lot of what I think I’ve been wrestling with.
Ditto.
RIP Bill Withers.
What a musician. Something upbeat from him that I love.

Bill Withers, no longer with us.
Everyone else left the Zoomba, pussies.
That’s because they are old. Not young and energetic like you and me. (She said as she headed upstairs to read before bed.)
SP read my mind.
Wait? It went on until the late late? Shit. I avoided it because it started so early. Starting work at 11pm, I’m usually sleeping at 7pm.
I left at 1 am.
Zoomba Pussies. Now that’s a band name.
You have to visit. The Hyperbole has a foil backdrop and cut-outs of every commentor on his wall. It is really quite something.

Good morning. Enjoy some nature programming:

It’s always disappointing to see one of your childhood heroes become a corrupt, greedy, incompetent asshat. It’s even worse when you’re directly affected by it:
