🚨 Tuesday:

#NCIS and NCIS: Origins will be switching time slots, to create a two-hour crossover event. Both series are really becoming my favorites.

The characters of NCIS: Origins solve crimes in the late 1990s, and the vibe of the show is very familiar and comforting to me.

Knowing that I keep this screenshot, that I actually made, in my phone shows my commitment to the theory they might be related.

Colored plastic magnets spell out "HAPPY WEEKEND." There is also a yellow smiley face magnet winking at the camera.

The old post at bottom has a different background from the new post at top, but the delineating line is difficult to see. Can you make the backgrounds a more contrasting color?
🧐🫤 -E
A black background on the bottom versus a VERY dark blue background on the top is difficult to see when trying to find the latest posts.

When donating to a food pantry, put related items in a bundle, if possible. When I was young and in dire straits, I didn't know how to cook. These days there is the internet, but bags of beans and cans of veggies might not make sense alone.
Last week our apt complex food pantry was barren, but I was wanting the low salt spinach can (which is hard to find) and one bag of lentil beans to combine for soup. This week the grocery put diced ham on sale, so I figured it was a sign to pick those items up. I replaced what I took with individual servings of various foods that are quick to make (no picture). Our pantry was full of bags of dried beans and canned corn. Young people might not know what to do with these items.

I would like a job where I translate to Old Speak. I could totally do that, once I'm taught WTH is going on. I can learn.

Experience example:
I taught someone years ago that Google was an internet encyclopedia. I didn't call it a search engine because general concepts should remain simple.

A screenshot from the movie "The Intern" shows an older fellow in a suit and tie, with prerequisite briefcase, standing next to younger business owner who lacks life experiences. THAT'S WHAT WE BRING TO THE TABLE. *Life lessons* The caption overtop is "Experience never gets old." That's why grandparents used to live in homes with younger generations, not just because their health was failing but because they KNEW THINGS.

I don't know what this means. Someone send help.

My profile page is empty with the words "internal server error." I hope that doesn't mean my phone. It would be helpful if the problem were described with more words. Not TOO many but definitely with more every day use ones.

So I turned on some instrumental music while I did the house chores.

Instead of using "nasal" twice, maybe they should print, "For up the nose use only."

A puffed rice bush. Ok, that's totally not true. When these buds open, fuzzy white things cover the ground and get on everything. I change my car's cabin filter after it's over.

I took a couple more pictures of the #mystery box. The door latch was like those of old appliances, but I don't know what the previous owner was using it for NOW.
🤷‍♀️ -E
Insulated interior of a metal box. The top almost looks like it was used recently for cooking. The front at the top half appears to have a door missing.
