I went to the counter to purchase some used books, and also to ask for a paper towel, as blood dribbled down my arm. I explained that the store cat and I were discussing the difference between “rubbing” and "tickling” floofy bellies.

You missed TFG taking a breath: one blast of talk that no one not well-versed in current MAGA can understand. Wait, now he is starting to gasp/sniff. He’ll need oxygen after this.

I wear Carhartt henley shirts all winter: not only comfortable but also the relaxed fit 2XL fits this 3XL body. Know your customers.

I encountered a roach crawling through a hole in the wall. I’m not in the mood, I told it. Don’t be here in the morning. In bed again, before I fell asleep I heard this strange crunching noise. In the morning, a pile of chitin under the fan. The roach must have followed me, and met Trixie. 2/2

I was in my Florida apartment, up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom (and this was in my twenties! Some things never change), stepping over Trixie who on this hot night preferred to sleep on the floor directly under the ceiling fan than with me. 1/2

“Charlie Kirk has passed,” Dylan said in a trembling voice. There was a moment of stunned silence, and then the audience as one responded: “Who?”

My two girls were polite, because they knew I made my mac&cheese with extra milk and would let them clean the bowl.

That’s why I make my appointments for as early as possible. I used to hit them on the way home, and ended up suffering the accumulated delays. Doc was never happy about it, either.

I just went back to the original Notepad yesterday. I use Notepad++ for features, but need a vanilla text editor mainly to strip out extraneous invisible characters. It’s still there, a few steps to switch back.

In an H. Beam Piper SF novel, a character says something along the lines of, “I never understood Napoleon until I saw his throne room at Versailles. Al Capone ordered one twice as big, because he could never get one twice as tasteless or twice as tacky.”

I’m an atheist, and occasionally will get a church group at my door. Not pushy, friendly, and we have a nice chat. I do find the pushy folks obnoxious. I had a FSM decal on my car, but my wife won’t let me on the new one. She doesn’t get it.

Funny, since I got interested in politics during the 2000 election, I have become an ace at picking out false arguments and outright lies. Stems from my interest in advertising, too.

This is what happens when you produce so many posts. I understand, I just find it amusing (I myself tend to overuse "just" and have to scan my emails to stamp them out).
