It’s difficult to get solo videos of her.
So, between arriving back home mid-week and the sinus infection that was the inevitable result of too little sleep, too much alcohol and massive crowds, there was very little time to do this week’s horoscope. Fortunately, the skies are pretty simple, astrologically-speakingwise. A lot of the signs are ambiguous, which is probably a necessity when you think that astrologers were typically employed by people with head-chopping ability and the moral “don’t shoot the messenger” didn’t exist until the invention of practical firearms. So if you want to clarify things, you need to get out ye-olde protractor and start calculating some angles. And with that, we can safely rule out adultery happening on Wednesday. All this week, we’ve got Mercury acting upon Venus, indicating rapid changes in romance, and/or luck (good or bad) in that area. Midweek, we’ve got Jupiter retrograde joining the dance. But because of those angles we were talking about, this is a sign that whatever authority-driven fuckery is in opposition to said hijinx, not leading it. If we wanted to personalize it, (which I would do were I in HRM’s, employ) we could look at Jupiter retrograde not as representing misrule, but rather a bad ruler. The king does get first dibs on being represented by Jupiter after all. So we’ve probably got Charlie fucking up some relationships, probably some royals that none here give a whit about.
The bad thing about being sick is not going out/getting vids of Lily playing. So you get leftovers/rejects that happened to be on the phone still.

I threw some stuff in a pan – ground lamb, diced onion, aleppo pepper, minced garlic, salt, pepper. It became a taco filler on swiss cheese (first cheese I grabbed from the fridge) and keto tortillas.
I have no idea how much any of it cost, since it was stuff on hand.
What’s a leppo pepper?

I have faith the Bears will find a way to blow this.
Up by less than a touchdown and a whole quarter to go. I think your faith is justified.
And so it is. 12 point lead 5 1/2 minutes and they blew it.
If only the Bears were smart enough to fire Matty Eberflus before he can even get on a plane back to Chicago.
Finally watched last nightâs F1 race – I think that was the best race of the year. Really entertaining.
I take bad all the bad things I said about Vegas.
Vegas is not a bad place. It has everything, good and bad. It is what you make of it.
Vegas isn’t bad, it is the worst.
God, I hate that town.
Worse than Nikki?
Indeed, a city built on Nikkis.
I was specifically bad-mouthing the Vegas grand prix – I thought it was gonna be a boring course and just a cynical cash grab. It was legitimately great.
Vegas, the town, I have no particular beef with. You know what you’re getting when you go.
That is why I hate Vegas.
Yep, that was a great race. I thought it would be good as the circuit looked fast and interesting in layout. Iâd have like to see the Monagasque pull off the win, and the penalty sucked for Sainz, but it was fun. Weirdly enough the three best races this year were all street circuits, Vegas, Singapore and Monaco.

Good piece articulating a phenomenon I had been vaguely aware of but without the details.
https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/columnist/365220/the-inside-story-of-how-palestinians-took-over-the-world/
Emphasis on the EU there in my mind. The Europeans are responsible for the entirety of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with their brutality towards Jews over millennia. culminating in the Holocaust. Yet there is no shame on the part of Europeans who criticize Israel for doing what it must to exist.
Jews keep reminding Euros of what they had done, which justifies what they will do.
It is stunning to me how evil ideologies have taken root in our society. Communism and general collectivism? Really? Jihadism? Fuck me dead, that is pure savagery. Trannyism and pedophilia? This is straight up insanity. A bizzaro menage of anti-enlightenment freaks. I was brought up to keep my hands off of other people and off of their property, that a man was only as good as his word, that institutions served individuals and their best interests, that individuals had inalienable rights – the greatest of which is the freedom of conscience.
I know people have always hated truth and responsibility but it seems impossible to me that we are throwing everything away that made the USA the greatest nation in the history of the world. The generations before us fought, bled and died to defend these qualities and hand them down to us.
Is this all a nightmare that I am going to wake up from?
Envy, greed, hedonism, unrestrained morality. All appealing things.
I didn’t realize most of that was going on.
I was raised to believe that a man’s place in the world is to protect, shelter and nurture women and children. A real man stood up for victims and those who were weaker. I think that is where America’s love for the underdog comes from. It is why superheroes were so popular. The guys I grew up with are the guys that will step in front of a bullet, a bus or put themselves between a child and an angry bear without hesitation. Where are those guys now? Are we going extinct?
I have never had a personal existential crisis. I have always known exactly who and what I am. I have always known why I am here.
Now it seems narcissism rules the day.
If there were no women or children in the world what would be my reason for even existing? I might as well crawl off into a ditch and die.
May have been for superheroes. Now I think it’s escapist fantasy idolizing something that doesn’t exist (superpowers). And adults not putting away childish things.
Ah, but it does exist albeit in small amounts. Not nearly enough to suit me.
My nearest neighbor is mid-twenties. He is married to a great girl and has a very young son. He works his ass off every day to keep a roof over their heads and food in their mouths. He doesnt make much money so they struggle. His house, land and car is paid for. He keeps his nose to the grindstone and once repelled a dopehead house breaker at 4am. Held the guy at gunpoint until the sheriff arrived. That is what a genuine superhero looks like. Why dont we have more guys like that?
Mrs. Suthenboy and I cook for them now and then. In return they cook for us. This gives me some hope for humanity. When I go off to play checkers with Elvis a few will still carry the torch. What troubles me is that the mush-brained morans greatly outnumber guys like that.

Best news Iâve heard in a while and itâs Argentina that pulls it off. Hopefully he does well and sets a good example.
My sister-in-law is wallowing in her prog tears. I love her, but she is a Peronist (I believe familia ties) and has said she wants to run for office to bring those ideas here (well, reinforce those ideas that are already here).
She will do great in NYC.
Good luck to him. You’d have to be a bit crazy to volunteer to captain a sinking ship. Argentina will be a tough assignment to save.

Good luck with the US, you will be blackballed with this administration.
China and Brazil deserve criticism, the CCP are monsters and Lula is a piece of crooked authoritarian shit.
Good. We all have someplace to go when the U.S. goes up in flames.
Biden won’t send anything due to his “advisors” not informing him of this. Someone will ask him about his, and then he will try to shake hands with a horse before stumbling away .
The Child Quarterback is not a popular person right now.
What Child Is This?
Already with the Christmas carols. Wait until Thanksgiving at least.

Well! Thatâs quite Frosty.

Zach Wilson, Jets.
Another ex-Packer in the game, however (Tim Boyle).

Since the TV was on after the game, I endured a 60 Minutes piece on the Maui Wildfires.
Good Lord, what a hit-piece on emotions and feels. And they summed it up with “..the Hawaii AG is still investigating the cause of the fires…”
Now, I love being a conspiracy whack-job, But I think its pretty clear.
Let me guess. They didn’t ask any questions about local incompetence or the complete lack of public access to information afterwards.
The fact the firemen were tearing up, on camera, “….and then we ran out of water!”
Now, Im not an expert on Hawaii (DBLEagle jump in) but I know its an ISLAND. Surrounded by WATER.
Like the deranged slack-jawed moron I am, I was yelling at the TV “YOU HAVE WATER ALL AROUND YOU! WHYCOME YOU CANT FIND WATER?”
Oh I see Disney dug its claws into the Percy Jackson series. Now the movie was terrible and left my son (who blew through every book before we can get the next one lined up to give to him) really conflicted on how they can change so much to remove the story. All races are equally displayed.
Timothy Omundson (Hephaestus) and Lance Reddick (Zeus) and Jason Mantzoukas (Dionysus) and Suzanne Cryer (Echidna)⊠are about the only things I could tolerate in the cast. Megan Mullally is absolutely a terrible actress unless she is playing Karen. If you make Zeus black, which I have no problems with, might wanna make all the other gods who are related you know…black.
I swear to god, Megan Mullaly has a voice that makes claws on a blackboard sound pleasant by comparison.
Curious, Zeus is pretty big in the book, guessing he will be CGI Reddick
Huh, so Milei pulled it off after all. Will he be able to do any good? Best of luck.
Also the shit that Argentina had to go through to elect someone like him is something.
Oh and the Left will be shitting on him constantly. The cosmotarians will not be happy.
The left are already disappointed with Boric in Chile. Poor dears.
In case anyone is wondering why my unhinged screed above…
A few weeks ago I had a conversation with a young woman friend who is divorced and has a 4yo son. She went on a date. It was a first date to a local festival. She brought her son along at her date’s request.
Guy seemed a bit distant. Bought ice cream for himself and not for her or son. Talked mostly about himself and made no attempt to be friendly with her son (?). She says it turned out to be two dates…the first and the last.
Sometime later I had a conversation with a young man, friend of my stepson. I dont remember how the conversation turned to the subject of men’s place in society but it did. I described to him the morality plays of days gone by where the standard was feed, water and shelter women, children, dogs and horses first. Then you eat and rest yourself.
His response? He was incredulous and I quote him: “Fuck that.”
I am concerned about the future of my country. Those darned kids today.
The fruit of equality.
Dogs and Horses are tools/resources, if it comes down to them or me we are chowing down on Marmaduke/Mr. Ed stew.
True, but depending on the circumstances it makes sense to take care of your tools first. That’s long term thinking.
Dead men don’t
wear plaiduse tools, and I’d wager “Sure Dad starved himself to death but at least he left us a horse” isn’t a sentiment many have ever expressed.I’m with you Suthen.
The victory of feminism – you’re equal now baby, I ain’t carrying you. Sure it doesn’t jibe for us old guys, but I can see how the young have learned that.
Something, something toxic masculinity…
Youâre describing a chivalrous attitude.
To quote Insty,
â Chivalry was a system that imposed expectations on women as well as men. If women are uninterested in meeting those expectations, men certainly shouldnât feel bound.â
Thatâs not to insult your young lady friend – if sheâs friends with you I suspect sheâd be on board with her responsibilities in such a relationship.
But thatâs become less common.
The pussies at Squaredle didn’t recognize “gringo” as a word. Apparently, it’s fucking offensive or some shit.

So, I held my breath waiting for my husband to hear the Christmas music. Took a mite before he noticed, but then đ€Ż
The wife and I are both good with the Christmas music. There is some eye-rolling about how the movies start earlier every year, but we still watch ’em (in fairness, frequently they are just running on the TV while we’re doing something else). We’ll burn out in early December, and come back to them once Christmas gets close.
I’m genuinely upset with Hallmark for starting Christmas movies before Thanksgiving. There is just something so earthy and warm about autumn themes.

Dude didn’t just win, that is a resounding fuck you win.
That’s a convincing margin. Particularly in Argentina.
Commies canât cheat their way out of that. Sadly they will fight back other waysâŠ
I don’t know enough about Argentina or its government to know whether or not this will really amount to a lot.
Trump dreams of such numbers. Maybe Biden will similarly fuck up the U.S. so hard that he’ll get them.
Trump’s numbers among blacks and Hispanics has never been as high as they are now. Just reading any of the articles by the legacy media and you know they’re scared because they can’t help but report how the sample size is so small, the polls are probably wrong in the same articles.
Itâs gonna be a long 12 months, and anything could happen, but if the Dems stick with BidenHarris, T Dog is gonna walk away with it I think. If you thought the prog tears were flowing in 2016, this would make that look like a pinnacle of restraint and composure.
Not chance Trump beats fortified Biden.

How are the missus and the animals?
Its been an awful struggle.
First off its been over 3 months since the arrest for indecent exposure. The DA still has not given any discovery. The redacted police report we got ourselves mentions that she was clothed and wearing nipple covers. so we dent know what was “indecent” or “exposed”. Since she cant continue to protest it has been very corrosive on her soul.
We have discovered that people that represent the builder also do consulting work for the city. Smart on developer but doing that would get us tossed in jail at my job. Also wearing on her. She wont go outside. Does a lot of crying.
And there is no mental health care thats working.
I am loosing.
Animals are all ok. I need to make space for hay in barn and get them ready to hang out there when it gets colder.
I’m sorry to hear that. Not sure what I can say that would be of help.
There is not much you can really say, its a grave situation. I keep telling her all we need is something to break our way.
