Everyone on this site.
There’s a lot of shite going on in the world. Very much stress pent up. Use this open post to vent, talk about completely banal meaningless crap to take your mind off it, or whatever. Glibs is a refuge from the insanity(the annoying kind, not our affectionate, dysfunctional kind).
And we have .38 Special. Why just one drummer when you can have two?
Make Firsting Great Again!
Sounds dirty.
ugliest guitars of all time
3 Mosrite
2 Les Paul Jr series
1 Hamer
Anything Brian Eastwood… Especially the Bender Distortocaster
Wait, I had a Les Paul Jr. Looked like a single pickup SG and played like a dream. This is ugly, why, exactly?
you might have a decent one; I’m just pulling this out of my ass based on a few revolting samples (collectivism!)
the double cutaways seem pretty bad to me, but probably the pickguards hit me as especially horrifying
a list of prettiest guitars of all time would have been more productive
I don’t mind a LP Jr., but man that’s a good looking Explorer! I have a LP Melody Maker. It looks like a skinny LP, with double p-90’s and it’s a little too light and breezy for me. I like the LP chunky feel/sound.
That said, The Ibanez Paul Stanley is fucking fugly.
I have a instinctual aversion to the look of a acoustic guitar. I always did but I don’t know why.
But I like the look of a telecaster and rickenbocker.
MAGA, bitches.

Why Detroit Residents Pushed Back Against Tree-Planting
A couple of African-American women Carmichael talked to linked the tree-planting program to a painful racist moment in Detroit’s history, right after the 1967 race rebellion, when the city suddenly began cutting down elm trees in bulk in their neighborhoods. The city did this, as the women understood it, so that law enforcement and intelligence agents could better surveil their neighborhoods from helicopters and other high places after the urban uprising.
The government obviously trimmed back on the tree-cutting when they found out that they could just kill blacks with AIDS?
I’m related to a bunch of hillbillies: the stories they read into things are amazing, creative to a way I could never devise, and self-deluding in astonishingly destructive ways.
I had a conversation with a Eco-Nazi once that turned hilarious. This was back when they were still on ‘plant trees!’ instead of ‘cut down all the trees to install solar panels!’. Seriously folks, make up your mind.
Anyway, after he told me what I need to do to make a difference, I asked him ‘Have you ever been to Maryland? Because if you have, you know there is not any damn place to put any more fucking trees. There is not a single fucking square inch of the state that is not covered with building or roads, that there is not already a tree. What the fuck do you want? Everyone has to move out so we can plant more trees? 99% of the goddamn state is already completely devoid of humans and covered with trees’.
I suspect that 99% of “environmentalists” rarely set foot outside of cities. This is in fact a very green and empty country.
.38 Special. Teenage me loved Southern Rock.
Still listen to that genre every once in a while. What happened to Molly Hatchet is just sad.
Got to be live on the radio twice. One of the two times was to request a Hatchet song.
That’s a great song and I’m indifferent to Southern Rock.
The one problem I have with Southern rock, is that it created the drunk guy who yells out “play Free Bird!”, even if the band isn’t taking requests.
That drunk guy is everywhere. Sometimes even in the band.
Looking at you, Jeff Keith of Tesla.
Most of us drunks just yell that because it is funny. To us. At the time. Because we are drunk assholes.
Years ago was at a concert featuring a local band. The lead singer, a black guy, asked for requests. Being slightly drunk, I yelled out, “Still of the Night”. He looked right at me and said, “No way. We’re scared of White Snakes.”
We shared a laugh.
FREEBIRD
I love all those guys. First band I played in was a tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Also, Outlaws, I saw all of them in Concert in Cincy and Dayton.

Oh yeah. Wore that album out.
It was 74 degrees F and 78% humidity in the shop today. Rivers of sweat. IN PLACES RIVERS OF SWEAT SHOULD NOT BE.
73 and 77 here. Same as last night except the wind was coming from the wrong direction so I couldn’t alleviate it with a fan.
…pics…?
Yesterday it hit 92 with a dew point just above 78 degrees. That’s about the worst it can get here.
Today was a mild 87 degrees with a dew point of 74.

Just returned from vacation in St. Pete, FL
Awesome, I might have to move there. Had a few great bar nights before the covid nazis shut down the fun.
Or is there a City right now where it’s warm, with beautiful water, and bars/restaurants that are packed with people? I still have more PTO to use up and plane tix and hotels are still hella cheap.
Spud’s 38 Special took me back to a former life when I lived in a trailer house in Ft Pierce FL. Broke as fuck and we owned one record and that was 38 special. Good times. I would love to move back to FL. I would check the islands. Are Turks and Caicos on lock down? Anywhere in the Caribbean would be worth searching out right now.

The Wisconsin Dells was packed with people when we were there yesterday, and I enjoyed my first sit down indoor dining experience since March 13 there. After having visited, I’m convinced the Dells are Gatlinburg with waterparks instead of Dollywood.
We’re headed to a campground in the Dells the first week in August. Lived in Wi and MN all my life and never actually stayed in the Dells. Frankly I’ve never wanted to. Loads of people. Expensive. Water parks aren’t my thing either. Driven by on I-90 hundreds of times. My wife’s family decided to have their family reunion there this year. They always stay at a campground. We used to get pretty rowdy, but my wife and i are the youngest (she’s one of eight siblings) in our late 40s, so it’s much less now.
We were at the KOA there and when we arrived, our neighbors had been drinking since 11am. The campground was good about settling down once quiet hours were in effect, but there was definitely plenty of partying going on. The Dells themselves (the rock formations) are really pretty, though. I thought it was a worthy stop.
I agree about the rock formations. Glad you enjoyed them. There are hidden gems like that all over Sconnie, but they don’t have the grandeur of some other places.
The years we were most rowdy was at a relative’s cabin on a lake in northern WI, so we didn’t bother folks in a campground. The neighbors on the other hand…
Yeah, I straight up just enjoyed looking out the window on the drive through the state. Wisconsin is gorgeous.
Funny you should mention that. Have I ever shared with you my favorite song about camping?
I was out at the park in Little Elm TX this afternoon. The beach on the lakeshore was packed, the restaurants were open, it was 93*, and everybody was having a great time. Not quite a destination city, but not bad for a 20 minute drive.
Trashy; gotta plan a meet-up. It’s obviously hot as ballz in our area, but, there are still some fairly nice places around. That “beach front” there is LE is nice-lookin’, but a crowd magnet.
Charleston restaurants aren’t packed, but they are open. Well, some of them. The beach ones are all open. Downtown is hit or miss. Although a mask law is going into effect today, so YMMV going forward. It doesn’t apply to places you can stay 6 ft away, like beaches, it is for indoor “public” properties. Not sure how restaurants are going to work, I think it might be like NC where you have to wear them until you get to the table.
I’m tired of arguing over misordered material at work and trying to get someone who doesn’t seem to be clicking that it’s the wrong stuff. “You didn’t get the stuff I ordered?” “You ordered the wrong part numbers” “So you didn’t get the material I ordered?”
I’m just going to receipt the delivery, throw it in a corner, and pull it out later if it’s ever needed. Fuck the budgets and fuck the right parts.

Mine were delivered last week. It was worth the wait. I talked them and was told it took a little longer because they had to refuse a steel shipment that didn’t hold up to their quality control process.

I seldom learn anything, but I find the noise of listening to some fellow travelers live comforting in a way that reading doesn’t. It’s fun to hear whether people have grace or style on the fly. As long as people are mostly intellectually honest, I don’t need to agree with them much more than 70% to enjoy them. In a weird way they seem like friends. And some structures are important in and of themselves: the interview, the roundtable, and the formal debate.
Jonah Goldberg and David French: there’s a redundant set of Remnant broadcasts that I like. I don’t worship conservatives, and these two have their awkwardnesses, but they’re a great source of fair critique . . . of the right and the DJT45 administration.
Reason diaspora: Fifth Column is my favorite (seldom serious but my favorite views/slants). Gillespie’s interview is technically solid and has great guests. The Roundtable is fun. The Soho Forum debates seldom settle anything or even touch on anything important, but the form is worth preserving.
This is what I listen to driving around.
You are more generous to Gillespie than I am. He often has great guests and interesting topics. He needs to be quiet long enough for them to speak.
I haven’t listened to any Remnant podcasts but I have enjoyed those hosts when they have been guests on other podcasts.
The other stuff, I agree.
I don’t see the sexual appeal of a woman’s foot, but I do understand the thrill of walking up behind an unsuspecting woman and smelling her hair.

Pretty much the defining feature of leftist, post-modern claptrap.
until they move on from uncomfortable to something worse.
Also, I would think many of those guys have already been uncomfortable enough. I thought they were an opposed minority and all.
Lastly, I thought this was going to be about white bears, and I couldn’t think of any besides polar bears.
Yeah, a lot of polar bears are in zoos outside of the arctic circle, so they probably are already pretty uncomfortable.

I was talking with someone who, in the context of masks, used the mantra, “Believe the scientists!” I pointed out that in the company I work for, everyone in Marketing had masks on. Everyone in Production had masks on. Everyone in Accounting had masks on. Everyone in Shipping and Receiving had masks on.
Do you know where no-one had masks on? Yep, Research and Development, where ALL THE SCIENTISTS ARE.

sounds like someone needs a visit from the experts. incidentally all the biologists i know also don’t bother with the masks. one literally works on making vaccines (and is a flaming liberal even) and the other does cancer research.
It’s just stunning. That the masks were nonsense was common knowledge in the medical research community for decades up until about one month ago. That’s why both Fauci and the Surgeon General told people early on to knock it off with the masks shit.
But that’s the problem with Democracy: when 51+% of the population is wrong, 100% of the population has to pay the consequences.

I think I am going to buy a used Subaru Forester XT. When I mentioned it at work I got called a lesbian. The only thing I am wondering is if I have grounds for a sexual harassment lawsuit.
You are a lesbian. I wish you and the dogs, or as you call them, “your children,” well.
I will be needing your personal details to include in my lawsuit.
I’m a Kentucky librarian.

My family owns 4 Foresters. Head gaskets are an issue. You pretty much have to pluck the engine to replace them. Do-able. But not fun. Other than that they are pretty good cars
What kind of mileage did the head gaskets go?
So far only 1 0f 4 (at 90k). About a $900 fix in my neck of the woods. I didn’t have time to do it myself.
This thing has 216 grand it’s a 2005 needs a few things but I have cash on hand and the price of gas is going up so I need a cheap driver. The Excursion is killing me.
About 110K miles for my wife’s when we replaced both head gaskets (one was leaking; replaced both).
I think I am going to buy a used Subaru Forester XT. When I mentioned it at work I got called a lesbian.
That’s the least of your worries. From what I hear, Subaru owners have a higher than average likelihood of ending up in horror-movie type situations.
At least you’ll die driving a decent vehicle.
My Forester XT was a complete fucking lemon. The head gasket was about the only thing I didn’t have to replace.
Really sorry to hear that. Tom T’s Forester (not an XT AFAIK) has been a champ. Got us from OH to NM & back, likewise up to MI’s UP & back. My Impreza has been reliable, too, for my daily crosstown commute. ::vigorously knocks on wood::

Mcafee knows what buttons to push.
I’m intrigued by your certification. The process as I understand it:
a/ auditors find a minor/OFI
b/ I write it up and fix it before they leave
c/ they bill me
d/ I schedule the next audit
There are usually some potential minor NC that are on the margins that can be fixed with a change in wording or correcting a typo before the auditor leaves the site.
Sometimes there are minor and major NC that have to be corrected within a time table. These are noted in the report.
Then there are those that can loose you your certification. They usually happen when a company really does something against their procedures and processes or there is evidence of deception or fraud.
For example: knowingly sending product that was failing specs without customer notification, systematically not following OIs, or not documenting a major process change.
I haven’t experienced this type of thing at my current or previous companies while I was there. I have seen it at some suppliers during audits.
If they can nail Carpe Donktum for copyright, what does that mean for Subaru theater if some asshole lawyer wanted to go after it? Evidently, satire is no longer considered transformative if you have wrongthink?
I read rumbles of this but never saw what he got nailed for. Is it still out there?

Finished the G conversion. All the parts that the videos said were hard were easy, all the part that for them were so effortless they didn’t bother showing or explaining added 45 minutes to the time. Only had to chase down rocketing springs four times. The actual spring that makes it function is pretty rinky-dink, no idea what it’s expected lifespan is, but the kit came with an extra, and replacing it will be simple.
That’s great! Good for you! Err… what’s a “G conversion”?
A procedure where the doctor moves that spot from the unknown place to her forehead so you can give your girlfriend an orgasm by recommending to wear a hat.

My favorite dead economist. Happy birthday as well to my favorite living economist, Thomas Sowell.
“There are no solutions, there are only trade offs.”
Yeah Sowell’s great. Watching him and Uncle Miltie school college kids back in the day on YouTube is great. They would probably just throw things at them and screech like retards today.
maybe hit them with a bike lock. ..
Sowell is the guy who changed my thinking on economics and brought me further to the libertarian side. Reading Básic Economics, Applied Economics and watching a bunch of his early and later interviews and talks did it for me. It’s sad that he isn’t more well known (outside of libertarians and conservatives).
He was full on commie in his younger days. Working for the government woke him up.

I love campers so much. I’m at my sixth stop on the trip so far, and mask wearing in and around the campgrounds has been around 1%, if that. The vast majority of us clearly do not give a fuck about the ‘rona and aren’t about to let it stop us from having a good time. I needed this so much; to be out in the fresh air again, and around folks who aren’t acting like we’re witnessing the end of the world has been extremely therapeutic and I still have over a month on the road to go! Squee. Next stop, Mt Rushmore!

NoDak badlands > SoDak badlands
The dakotas, only place on earth where people brag about erosion.
Totally willing to agree, but I haven’t seen either yet and I’d like to see Mt Rushmore before someone either blows it up or adds an extra face to it.
Yeah, I should think about doing that as well.
Crazy Horse is pretty cool too, but it’s best when you can go the two times a year they allow you right up to it.
We definitely intend to see what we can of Crazy Horse too. And I want to see a rodeo; I’ve never been.
Cheyenne has the longest running rodeo. The area also has lots of history from the transcontinental railroad. Pinedale, WY is hugely scenic and has the annual Mountain Man Rendezvous.
“Next stop, Mt Rushmore!”
OMG! LemonGrenade is a raycist!

There’s really not very many bands as cool as Skynyrd.
So, I was doing my taxes recently (since the deadline this year is July 15) and I was reminded that they got rid of the Obamacare penalty. Which got me thinking, what are the odds that the Dems will bring that back next time they have the power to do so? I’d think probably low, since the rest of O-care ain’t going nowhere, but on the other hand so many of the insurance companies got on board with the health reform that I’d imagine some of the D pols are in their pocket. Of course if the left wing gets their way the Ds will go for universal healthcare, but the tax item to pay for that would hit so much harder than the penalty I’d think the wiser ones would kick that idea to the curb.
I gotta do mine. Looks like I’m getting $1600 refund state and federal, but I have to do a mail in form because of the sin of gifting equity, and it’s pretty much impossible to fill in if you’re not familiar with it. Bastard fuckard shitheads.
Biden wants to reinstate the Obamacare penalty and add a whole lot more taxes as well.
So hold onto your wallet.
A long story about how the decision was made to abandon the 3rd precinct cop shop to the mob. Depressing how craven the political leadership of Minneapolis was. They were desperate to appease the mob.
Wonder if Frey would have been so willing to surrender the precinct if he knew he’d be forced by the same cretins to make a literal walk of shame days later.
Probably. He seems the kind of idiot wuss who would give into a mob no matter what.

This is sadly hilarious.
Do you prefer the fish sticks that are solid pieces of fish, or the ones that have been minced and pressed into stick-like form?
Well, what we GET is probably the minced stuff – just good ol’ Gorton’s. In our defense, some time later this week we’ll have proper tilapia fillets.

Once I’m getting a regular check again I’m going to get a powered audio board to clear that up. That time should be coming soon, I hope.
Funny you should mention this–I was thinking that Don’s audio was actually quite clear, and truly sounded like he was in conversation with the duo, as opposed to, say, rally audio.
You know me–you work with what’s available, and it’s always entertaining. The audio on this one, though, sounded quite a bit more “in character” for the situation.
My $.02
Trump’s soundbites aren’t where I’m complaining to myself, it’s the Hat and Hair audio. I know that can be better. And yeah, Trump’s audio was very clean this time, taken more from direct news footage than rallies.
Their audio? Hmmm….I suppose so. I mean, if I take the “there’s always room for improvement” track. And, I trust that you know your craft enough to know that a powered audio board will make a difference.
And fuck the Army pussy ass covid recruiting commercial.
Well, looks like I’m on a list . Probably because of my association with you fine people. I expect I’ll end up in A Chinese camp in some sort of prisoner exchange. It was nice interacting with yous while it lasted.
Would a Civil War Boogaloo be using the chaos to invade the US, followed by a boogaloo Fenian Raids?
Riverdance Boogaloo?
What’s “Canada”?
Canada like Antifa doesn’t exist.
The mainstream really hates breakdance fights, huh.
I had my first encounter with Thomas Sowell t today. A sharp guy who backs his common sense with data. Will watch and read more.
T Sowell is the man. 90 years and still kicking it. I highly recommend the Hoover Institute vídeos of him, and if you haven’t read anything by him you should start with Basic Economics. I like this one of him talking about welfare.

Thanks! Will watch.
Kerplooey!
Looks like a heavily pro gun woman has won the primary in Colorado tonite against the squishy Repub incumbent. She’s hot as well.
https://twitter.com/laurenboebert
Agree to disagree. That chin could cut your nutsack in twain.
She produced 4 boys, so, seems like sacks are safe around her.
Wow, tough judge. If she gets elected to Congress, westernsloper will have the hottest representative out of the bunch by a country mile (and yes, I know the bar is not very high).
Nah – Anna Paulina Luna, but she still has to win the primary.
Yes, I’d agree. Mi me gusta de latinas. Does she have a shot at winning? Looks like the Colorado woman could win in November.
I’m going to need more science and data on that.
Small gun in a drop leg holster.
I are very pissed tonight. On top of not being able to access the dispatching software at all (and no support overnights), I got a very finger-wagging email from my boss over my picking up overtime this month, which included the phase “your fair share”.
Now, I get along fabulously with my boss, and, we haven’t discussed this overtime topic prior to this. So, I have no idea why she sent what she sent. She didn’t even name my co-worker, who’s going on vacation; she referred to her as “your teammate”.
Very out of character for her, and enraging for me. If you need me to work it, why not just say “I’ll need you to cover some of her shifts”?? And, be sure to tell me when, since boss is now on vacay for over 2 weeks.
Wait… so do you want the overtime, or not?
No. But, I’ve always said I would do so if needed. Just…if given the option, I’d rather be home/somewhere else
You are our Ron Swanson.
Damn skippy.
No, I don’t want OT in my current situation. If I were a swingin’ bachelor, I’d probably be reluctantly asking for it. But, I’ve been doing this long enough to know that I will have to do this, and have before. There just so happens to be others here who crave overtime, and it’s worked out so far to everyone’s advantage.
Why the email, then? It’s almost as if she didn’t write it herself. Plus, like I said, we get along swimmingly, and she’s not really ever communicated like this before, and I don’t know what changed.
I have no idea why she sent what she sent. She didn’t even name my co-worker, who’s going on vacation; she referred to her as “your teammate”.
If Q’s links have taught me anything you might hear a funky guitar riff soon.
yeah, no.
Rivers up! kayaks in! after golf….
/Yippee!
Sounds like Jim Dandy of a time.
Damn Skippy!
This week I have been waking up later the usual. Today 7 AM and am still sleepy. Usually I am up at 6 15 and feel fresh. I fall asleep harder than usual last 3 nights though.
Good morning glibs.
Not any illness or discomfort, is it?
Also, kudos to your spirited rebuttals to Bluster the other day. I was almost shocked…but, it a good way.
Not any illness or discomfort, – not really I don;t think. I had a funny feeling in my stomach two days ago but not ilness level. I assume it is the fact that it got hot this week after a mild and rainy June. I do AC my bedroom but I don’t keep it on while I sleep and I think I need to acclimate to more than 20 degrees in the bedroom while I sleep … I prefer 18 tbh but that is only in winter.
Asymptomatic
VampireCorona Carrier confirmed!Yeah…..you wouldn’t like the North Texas area at this time of the year.
Working 2nd and 3rd shift I can go all day (a 24 hr day) on less than 6hrs sleep, but if I try changing that to 1st shift I’m so tired by 10am I’m having out of body experiences.
I try to get at least 7 a night, but I have a very regular schedule usually, I turn in about 10 30 and hopefully am asleep by 11… And wake up at 6 to 6 15
I’m exactly the same way. I hate, hate, hate, hate first shift. I’ve been that way my entire life.
My cooky, unfounded theory: It was beneficial for some small percentage of humans to be born with the night owl trait so that they could serve as a sort of incidental watchman for the tribe; the whole group would be safer if they had one oddball milling around all night who could wake the others in case of some threat.
Where was this guy when I needed him earlier tonight?
https://youtu.be/GD8TKkwd6AE
So….a story here?
Wife took all the money we had saved for a vacation out of the bank. She has a cashier’s check in her purse. She is going to go shopping for a CD with a high interest rate.
I’m told I yelled and was mean when she told me. I deny yelling.
Why a cashier’s check?
No idea.
Yeeeesh…well, sorry that happened (whatever form it took). But, yeah–this service would help in that.
BTW, why did she need it prior to shopping for the rate? Couldn’t she do this online, then get the check (after talking to you about it)?
That’s what I said. Apparently I was supposed to be happy she was doing this. It makes no sense to me.
You’re lucky if you can find a CD with a 1% rate with a term less than five years.
It’s kind of a pointless endeavor at the moment thanks to the Fed.
Looks like no ones showing up, so I’m soloing the River tomorrow, if you don’t hear from me you know where I went…
/Seriously…
Boat safely, Yu/Jo.
Heheheheh….”Yujo”

I heard about this exchange in some online (written form) and didn’t think much about it. But, DAYUM, woman! You kick his li’l ginger ass!

Tuesday night ghost town…
::tumbleweeds roll by::
I’ll be here for a bit and reply to some commenters who have probably been asleep for hours. Just finished my run and am now chowing the fuck down on a few bowls of something I have tentatively named “American stew” (meat stock, chicken, tomatoes, peppers, corn, hominy, beans, and sweet potato).
Here I was, thinking everyone knocked off
earlyat a sane time.Lonely,
It’s gonna be a long long time….
You feeling Rocketman too?
oh yes, lost in space…
I’ve been missing the US recently. It had been a while since I had been and had a trip scheduled in early March (you probably remember that). It was always in my subconscious that I can always go back if I want to – that was like a safety valve in my psyche. Now that it isn’t an option with the ‘rona and all I’m feeling like it has been a long, long time…
Come by, I’ll always be here, really
That’s still on my list. Looking forward to it.
I wonder, should I bother getting over Wendy? or just wait for snit to tits up?
I would say to do what feels right to you. If you’re ready you will know it. If not then just hold out until it does – if and when that happens.
Before my divorce I thought it was going to be easy to move on. It was much harder than I had expected. It took years to get to a place where I was “me” and not “me minus her”.
Thank you, I need another perspective
If I were getting all philosophical and wordy about it, I’d say that it’s not about getting over Wendy, so much as moving on from her loss. Of course, I know what you mean; my approach is more about nuance possibly helping in dealing with such an overwhelming situation.
You seem to be doing well, and doing the Survive and Thrive challenge very well, so keep on kicking ass.
or maybe shit to go tits up,
This is me,Freddy

Thanks! Good to have something to listen to.
Glad to help, I’m a Classical nut job
I’ve been letting my creative side flow. Time and passion has to go somewhere. I’ve got to do something to fill my life as I wait for my gig-based career to come back to life. Bleah.
My Census job starts for real, July 31st, right when the Trump bucks run out, I’ll make it,
Interesting. What kind of gigs do you do for a career?
Here lately, I’ve been trying to fire up the technical, logical side of my brain rather than the creative. Still working on practicing JavaScript, HTML, and other web development technologies so that I might have a freelance career someday and possibly run a few profitable websites of my own.
To that first goal, I’ve been reading Euclid’s Elements. It’s pretty interesting stuff, plus it ties in with my passion for history since it was so hugely influential on all kinds of math and philosophy.
The Census gig is just that, a gig, i am an HVAC/R contractor, by trade, and am losing work I just got to to the lockdown shit. I lost 20 new jobs today because of Ducey’s shit…
I represent a small number of companies in Japan. Some of it is sales, some of it is project managing installations. Mostly IT/IT-related.
I am just starting a collaborative relationship with a small, local company which I contracted a couple staff to support an installation in January.
My creative side has nothing to do with that.
I’m going to do salvage and PM’s and keep what customers I can, but I’m pretty fucked right now
At least you aren’t Peewee
Oh he dead. I laughed too hard at that.
He hadn’t even landed.
Yep, I keep on laughing at it.
I wish I could do something about the clients I support. They’re business dropped to zero when this virus popped out. I had $10k to $15k in contracts scheduled/on the table when this all hit. I had spent most of last year getting this new career going and it was just taking off in December.
My new shop depends on opening up, at least there is the Census
Something is broke in her brain
https://twitter.com/ArtValley818/status/1278248454934781952?s=19
If she did, she just has to wait until the next D president to get a full pardon for it.
They’ll probably give her a job in their administration.
Secretary of Sanity
No doubt
I don’t see any evidence that she has much more than a reptilian brain – if that.
The brainwashing of a cult will do that.
Caucasity?
CAUCASITY?
I’ll show her some big caucasity. *unzips*
Sometimes I’ll tell them that I’m Asian too. I’m a cock-Asian.
Lower their initial expectations?
Emphasis is on the cock.

The entirety of the current political movement appears to be self-loathing white people.
The reactionary wave is going to be really ugly.
My cherry has been popped! My first html link and its on Canada day! “Now he finally knew how it felt to be a woman…” Oh frabjous day! You guys are in for a ride from here on in. I’ve got you pegged.
H/T to Raven Nation in the afternoon thread. It’s not that difficult theoretically but I’m about as literate as any old guy with no coding skill that hunts and pecks on a wounded keyboard. Hopeful to keep learning new skills!
Happy Canada Day! I hope you and your missus are doing well today. Interestingly, I have distant Newfie relatives who hate Canada Day and spit every time Joey Smallwood’s name is mentioned.
Your first link! Mazel tov! We’ve probably created a monster. Please try to use your powers for good.
(I cheat & use Monocle, which makes it waaaaaaay too easy.)
“Teach me!” the young disciple pleaded. Shortcuts are always welcome but I seem to remember Monocle not liking my Windows set up. That was a long time ago and I’ve got 10 installed now.
Having muddled through it once, I wouldn’t be the best tutor. Here’s the linky. Maybe it would play nice with 10. I still haven’t figured out which version to use and/or how to install it on my only-slightly-above-average-intelligence phone, which is frustrating all day when I’m at work and checking in during lulls.
Thanks GT! You’re good people. Will attempt tomorrow as the victory rally is still in full swing and I don’t think those synapses will be firing again before mid-afternoon. html IS clunky.
It was the least I could do, which is why I did it.
Happy Canada day Festus!
Thanks, Friend! Working tonight. Double time is alllright.
If they don’t sign all of their property over to the indigenous peoples and self-deport back to Europe I question their commitment.

Oops! Didn’t work this time. Practice makes perfect!

Its the spacing that trips me up. Shrek fingers and shitty keyboard do not mix well. Need to buy some fancy typing gloves or use Monocle.
I found that investing in a quality keyboard has paid for itself over the years. Now I only have my meaty mitts to manage.
Its a laptop that I shook like crying infant one night. I’d get rid of it but I just replaced the hard drive a few months ago.
Thank goodness for DDG and IMDB. Found that little bit of dialogue, and wasn’t it just a sly and clever reference!

Tomorrow’s supposed to be in the 90s. 🙁
Don’t complain overmuch. It’s July 1st and we still haven’t seen a day get over 75 American. Just rain, cool winds, more rain and thunderstorms. At least we’re not burning this year but last winter was brutal and Spring didn’t really happen until May.
But at least it will be humid! : /
I’ve been wearing shorts for months but the chicken legs abide. Gonna start growing moss in clefts and crevices if this keeps up. I need my sundress fix.
::looks at FM’s avatar:: Well, I hope it get warm enough for you to wear one!
GT almost gets me. 🙂
For weeks, my porably AC has been properly draining out the spout like it’s supposed to. Just a few days ago it decided to resume dribbling out the side again. While I have it all set up to handle that, I’m not happy. I thought I’d gotten it fixed.
It keeps swapping here. Only 77 today? Wow. Still expecting the daily thunderstorm though.
Oh, and good morning.
Good morning, TARDy!
“But I don’t feel tardy…”
I’m always tardy, and often late too. It’s what I do.
I need to go back to work someday so I can hang out with you guys in the AM. 🙂
You’d start thinking poorly of my life choices if you did.
I hope you get back to work soon, too, for that and other reasons!
Would you care to be a member service rep at a Dayton-area credit union? I think we have an opening.
What sort of work is involved?
Opening accounts, taking & processing loan applications, cross-selling other products & services.
It involves working with people. How desperate are you to get out of NY?
