Does locking a door not count as work? (real question, not being snarky)

We did very well. Went out for brunch together, went shopping for a birthday cake (husband’s birthday), drove through Griffith Park, spent time with our granddaughter. Also caught up on housework.

Same for my dad. He only THOUGHT he knew what he was doing and he was too damn stubborn to ask for help. Fortunately his third wife DID know what she was doing and saved him from becoming destitute.

Don’t basketball refs EVER call traveling any more?

I used to draw on my skin with ink. The same design every time, a stylized flower. I don’t think I’d be unhappy with it today but although I remember it well, I never chose to have it applied permanently.

I’m a heathen too, but my parents were very religious. It never bothered me that they got to take communion and I didn’t.

Oh my gosh, is THAT what that stuff is!

Glad I dug in my heels and refused to go to confirmation classes (Episcopal) so I never had to eat those things. My parents were convinced I’d change my mind when everyone else got to go up to the altar. Nope.

I’m with you on Arizona. They say the Tucson area has fewer MAGA wingnuts than most other places.

I worked in northern Wisconsin the year Nixon & Co. thought year-round DST was a dandy idea and would “save energy.”

Just wait till you’re pushing 50 like I did. Now I’m pushing 70 and still happy with all my ink.

It also had a bunch of technical mistakes that just shouldn’t have happened. People on the moon were clearly not in moon gravity, for starters.

I have a CalTech -> MIT prank color changing coffee mug. When it starts to change back to its original color I know it’s getting cold. Cost me $16.

Well aren’t you special.

American Airlines going to Hawaii, the food is fine. Coming back... well, they apparently have no way to resupply the planes on the Big Island, so the food available for the return flight is whatever was left over after the trip out.

Hookworms are excreted. Some of them don’t want to leave.

I used to supervise the public computers at a large urban public library.

My brother drives for UberEats and seems unable to grasp the concept of “wear and tear on his car.” And I know he hasn’t stopped to calculate his actual pay per hour.

Check to see if your public library offers Kanopy. It’s free to library card holders and offers the Criterion Collection, all kinds of great foreign films, and a big list of The Great Courses, among other things.

I’d like to see him quote chapter and verse on where coal and petroleum appear in the Bible. Other than the “pitch” that Moses’ mother put on his basket, which didn’t actually exist in Egypt since it is a petroleum product.
