Hopefully. He was spiking a high fever last night and was borderline incoherent. They have my number and I've offered to help with context.

I HAVE MANY TWEEZERS SO I CAN PULL HEARING AID DOMES OUT OF MY EARS WHEN THEY GET STUCK!

So predictably, he's going to become an alcoholic. I have tweezers strategically dispersed in my truck console, briefcase, suitcase, desk drawer, and dopp kit, kitchen junk drawer in case I pull out a hearing aid and the silicone ear dome remains in my ear. About once a month I have to go digging for one.

Jefferson/Beaumont My new hairdresser is my kryptonite. Platinum blonde, blue eyes, think east Texas slightly older Margot Robbie.

Zelle or cash money is the way, Venmo and Cashapp will generate 1099s. The only check I write is to my boat storage warehouse landlord.

That's a good idea, thanks.

I agree. Thanks for indulging my chatGPT-generated quotes, I'll stop now.

As of my last update in September 2021, the welfare of horses that pull carriages in New York City’s Central Park has been a topic of debate and concern for many years. Advocates claim that the horses are well-cared for, work reasonable hours, and are examined regularly by veterinarians. They argue that the industry is heavily regulated and that most carriage drivers genuinely care for their animals. On the other hand, animal rights activists have raised concerns about the horses’ living conditions, their exposure to traffic and extreme weather, potential risks of injury, and their general well-being. There have been calls to replace horse-drawn carriages with electric vintage-replica cars or other alternatives. It’s worth noting that there have been incidents and accidents involving carriage horses over the years, which have fueled the debate. If you are considering taking a horse-drawn carriage ride and are concerned about the welfare of the animals, it might be helpful to do some current research and, if possible, visit the stables and speak with the drivers to form your own opinion.

My AT&T Gigabit fiber internet is the tits. Now if I could do something about the dozen streaming services I have on top of YTTV.

I've got a good friend who has serious health issues. One of them is lupus (it's never lupus, but in this case, it is), blood disorders that require regular transfusions, HIV, and just a myriad of chronic health problems. 61, lives alone, and until recently was cutting hair and pretty much-living paycheck to paycheck. We became friends in AA, where people who would not ordinarily mix forge close friendships as part of the recovery journey. In our 12-year friendship, I've seen him help countless people get sober. Some of his health problems may be self-inflicted and related to addiction, but for at least 15 years, he has been a responsible, generous, upstanding, helpful person. I say this because he has been a net positive contributor in the world and isn't an entitled shit just looking for charity. He has health insurance through the Ryan White Foundation, lives alone in an apartment with his dog, has no significant other, siblings, children, or other relatives. For about 4 months, I've been managing a go-fund-me to help pay his rent and expenses, but it's becoming clear he isn't returning to work anytime soon. And a small group of us are unable to support him financially, long-term. I just left from visiting him in the ICU, and he is scared, helpless, and not in his right mind. And he is, for all practical purposes, alone in the world. I'm happy to visit and bring him groceries whenever possible, but Q4 ill be traveling extensively and working long hours. Tomorrow I plan on calling a disability lawyer on his behalf and consulting with some social worker friends to explore agencies and programs that might provide sustainable services for his care. And I may end up calling Adult Protective Services at DFPS as he is quickly becoming incapable of making his own decisions. I'm posting this here to get input on something I might be missing. Anyone have any ideas?

Ditto. Several. As well as a few Magnalites.

Having some fun with prompt engineering. This is ChatGPt’s suggestion for a day of erotic debauchery. I’m committed to promoting safe, respectful, and consensual experiences. While I won’t provide explicit or potentially unsafe suggestions, I can give you some romantic and intimate ideas for a day in New York City: 1. Morning - Romantic Breakfast: Start with breakfast at a quaint café in the West Village, such as “Buvette”. Their cozy ambiance sets a romantic tone for the day. 2. Late Morning - Central Park: Take a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park. It’s classic and intimate. 3. Afternoon - Spa Retreat: Book a couples spa treatment. NYC has many luxurious spas that offer treatments tailored for couples, including massages, facials, and body scrubs. 4. Late Afternoon - Shopping: Visit some of NYC’s upscale lingerie and intimate boutiques. Places like “Journelle” or “La Perla” offer a curated selection of high-quality pieces. 5. Evening - Dinner: Reserve a private dining experience or a table at a restaurant with a romantic setting. Consider somewhere like “One If By Land, Two If By Sea”, often referred to as one of NYC’s most romantic restaurants. 6. Late Night - Jazz Club: Head to a dimly lit, intimate jazz club like the “Village Vanguard” or “Blue Note” in Greenwich Village. 7. Overnight: Consider booking a luxurious suite at a top-tier hotel like The Plaza or The St. Regis. Some hotels even offer romance packages. Remember, always ensure mutual consent and comfort in any activity or purchase. Respect boundaries and prioritize open communication. Have a wonderful time!

Indeed. I went lazy and ended up with a C+ brisket. Or maybe my standards are just so high now that everyone else raved about it and I thought it was mediocre. If I'm not doing prime, I will grab a big fat packer and not overdo the trim.

Did you get a recteq tube or a different one? I did one labor day weekend using a pretrimmed HEB non-prime and won't make that mistake again. Edible but not to my high standards. I love cooking leg quarters til they are just fall apart tender. Stuff them under the skin with butter. And my 590’s hotspot is roughly the same as VirginiaLonghorn’s.

Butter and sour cream don't go bad. Neither does yogurt.

When I stayed at Essex House in Feb, the Central Park rink was open. That's a Marriott property as well, and it was great to just wake up in the morning and cross the street to central park. Agree that skating at 30 Rock is a shitshow, but still fun. Is Union Square Cafe still good? I used to love that place. I sold so much SQL licensing one year that Microsoft gave me a $5K AMEX travel gift card which I used to take the fam to NYC for Christmas. Was a blast. Did the city (stayed at 70 Park which was a Kimpton hotel at that time) and then Christmas morning we moved to a suite at Castle on the Hudson in Tarrytown which was neat.

No dogs or their penises were hurt in the film, though they were prominently featured throughout. Much like the word “Fuck” in Wolf of Wall Street.

I was there in February and witnessed this ceremony. One of the first things new Port Authority police academy cadets do is a single file march through the memorial, through the tourists. Gravitas. I was chatting with one of the on-duty PA policemen above ground level and mentioned it and he rolled his eyes and said yeah I wish they wouldn't do that to those kids. Still, I thought it was cool.

Interesting - so if he was 17 or 18 in 1943 when he perpetrated the crimes, then he was 7 or 8 when Hitler rose to power. The article states that he would be tried as a juvenile due to his age at the time. So this guy knew nothing but Hitler during his childhood and adolescence. I wonder if his parents were Nazis? One of my fears about MAGA is how parents are poisoning their children’s minds. My childhood babysitter was Walter Cronkite; sadly a whole generation of toddlers had one of Rupert’s talking heads programming them during the pre-supper hour.

Charlie’s kids and mine were in school together in SA. Never got to hang out with him or Emily but my ex tried to invade their circle. Same with Thomas Gibson. Just broke the news to my daughter. Charlie (Gus) was a few years younger but they might still be in touch.
