On the positive side, that's kind of sweet after almost 15 years of marriage. On the negative side, she can get a bit jealous, and I'm not sure whether she'd feel flattered or wonder why I was mentally evaluating a strange (in theory) woman.
Safer to keep to myself, I think...
Ask Paingod to ask Mrs Paingod how Mrs Pyper should feel.
Outraged, to be sure. I don't even need to source it.

Wow someone other than me remembers that song.
Anyways why doesn't ant poison come in mayo flavor? I have tried ant bait things and the last ones I got cheap..RAID...dont do anything. feels like nothing is in the trap and the ants avoid it. I can sit it in a ant trail and they go around. But if I eat a spoon of mayo or pimento cheese and sit the spoon on the counter then it is covered with a line leading around the trap to the wall when I return.

WWJ turns 99 today. It became part of amateur licensed radio on this date in 1920. A year and a couple of months later, they would become the first commercial radio station, ironically making it illegal for them to broadcast due to patent usage agreements.

Take a peek at the Texas retail monster that is Buc-ee's.
GasBuddy ranked Buc-ee’s No. 1 in its ranking of 101 gas station convenience stores this year. It beat out much larger operations such as Wawa (800 locations) and Sheetz (580), familiar to drivers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Since we are on the topic. Wednesday night/Thursday morning my mom (69yo) had a mild heart attack and my father's brother (68yo) died (I don't know the details). I have no intentions of traveling to see any of them and only know about either incident because my younger brother messaged me on facebook.
Yay family.

Most of the chiropractors around here seem to work part time......two or three days a week.
There's a jillion of them tho.
How odd.
Government officials are unsure whether putting foreign police livery on vehicles is illegal or not. *sigh* They are not even sure if this is a coordinated intimidation attempt or just some trolls.

In a water park, catching Pokemon on land and acting as human launchpad for my girls in water. MagicQuest complete. Arcade fun turned into a Squishmallow stuffie for the youngest (with significant coaching). Tomorrow my body is going to protest, but for now the crashing of the waves drowns out the screams of childish joy. And it’s almost restful.

I recorded a lot on CDs and DVDs up until they came out with the USB flashdrives in tens and hundreds of Gigs that are dirt cheap.
My latest computer didn't even come with an optical drive.

The world is full of stupid but schools still seem to lead at being the dumbest places.
"When the dean approached me, she told me I was going to be dress coded, because of my shoulders being exposed. I had never had an issue with this before, so I respectfully asked why this was being enforced on the first day of school without any warning," Lynch told TODAY Style. "She told me it was due to boys looking at me, and boys looking at other girls."
Confused, Lynch asked the dean to clarify her statement.
"I proceeded to ask her why that was my issue, why it was my priority to make sure boys weren't looking at me. I never got a clear answer, it was just implied that boys have provocative mindsets, and it's a distraction to them. I have no issues with dress code policies, however, when it's not being enforced on both sides equally it's just one thing: discrimination."

Believe it or not, Staples and Office Depot / Office Max may still have them on the shelves. If not, they can always ship it to you.

So how long do you think it will be before movies will be VR in theaters? Go in and sit with your headset and surround sound and be 360 movie. Say in a Star Wars cantina your view follows the characters in and you can look totally around you and see the entire place and aliens and no cameras. Maybe you dont control your POV and its controlled by the director. Beside the character or from the bar or something. Or maybe you do have some limited of control of where you are.
Id be happy to just be able to look around.

I remember that exhibit! I try to avoid thinking about old Disneyland. I get too nostalgic for favorite old rides that haven't existed in years. Journey Through Inner Space. Submarine Voyage.
