@DemocracySpot that is such an awesome photo - first thing that popped into my head is... It's the End of the World as we know it. . .

Being a man of deep faith, when faced with a dilemma, I stop and ask myself "what would Jack LaLanne do?"

@DemocracySpot @the_etrain that's perfect!

The most ridiculous thing about cop procedural shows is when they ask where a person was, and what they were doing at a specific time the person always has perfect and immediate recall. I'd be desperately trying to remember what day of the week that was, and trying to open my phone calendar. If I was the cop, I'd immediately be suspicious of the person who remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing.

@RickiTarr cop shows should feature arrests of CEOs and irresponsible/grifting members of the political elites.

@DemocracySpot Thanks for asking - it's taken me a while to adjust, but I am making the best of it. Made a few friends and have to say that most of the people are pretty nice.
The food is totally uninspiring but I've found a few things that are OK.
I'm currently reading 'The Satanic Verses' by Salman Rushde. It's very dense but fascinating.
Now if I could convince people not to wake me at 6 AM, I'd be perfectly happy!

I kind of miss when Bond movies were completely ridiculous. There would be some woman named Iva Wetpussy, and she'd not wear bottoms the whole movie with no explanation. But we need to make this more inclusive, so there also needs to be a man named Colin Allbutts that wears chaps the whole time, and an Ace named Ima Notinterested, who actually gets all the work done.

@RickiTarr I briefly (in my teens) dated a guy who wanted to call me Moneypenny . . He wasn't a Beatles fan so I dropped him am pretty sure I wasn't his last Penny 😁

    @dgar @stux stux was my first contact here, and as it turns out, my fave cat-daddy! When I was about 19 or twenty, I had a cat named George (Washington). I adopted him on Washington's birthday in the late sixties . . . My first personal cat . . .

    1. Peel an orange.
    2. Cover with orange marzipan, adding dimples to match the original peel.
    3. Eat the orange in public like it’s an apple.

    @Chrishallbeck wow, I have an 8 ounce bar of marzipan from my holiday haul and a beautiful orange... I'll let you know how it goes, and if it's successful, I'll send you a photo before I devour it in the lobby of my building!

    @RickiTarr My mother told me, when I was in my teens, and again in my 20s in front of my sister-in-law that she was disappointed that I was a girl because girls are so crazy. Her mother had her at the age of 52, and handed the baby off to mom's oldest sister who was 15 or so...my maternal grandmother lost at least 5 or six other babies who didn't survive infancy. She must have been quite fertile and most likely grieved for the lost infants.

    Long night so far.

    A call from my sister just after midnight that she’d taken mum to the hospital.

    Been holding bedside vigil while sister goes home and gets some sleep. Doctors running tests and whatnot. Morphine for the pain. Machines that go “bing”.

    It’s about 4:30am and mum’s snoring with a plethora of tubes and wires.

    Eyes are heavy. Chair is uncomfortable. The nurses showed me where I could make a cup of coffee for myself.

    LeslieVS1965,
    @LeslieVS1965@mas.to avatar

    @dgar May your memory of her be a blessing. Heartfelt condolences.
