Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you

Breaking up the thanksgiving leftover train with fish tacos last night, all with fish caught by my son and me standing on one of our docks, then filleting them together on the back deck. As I told him while we were filleting the fish, “I don’t care if we never do this again—I’m just glad we’re doing it now.”

Watching ear wax removal videos with my kids and wife standing over my shoulder.

Solid 10 minutes of ewwwwww. no way! oh my! that's so gross. disgusting. ooouuugghh.

 

 

i have to say these videos are false advertising.  i knew my ears were clean, but watching those videos made me think there may still be goop in there. i q-tip religiously despite the popular notion that it just 'pushes wax deeper in'.

so i went for a deep ear cleaning on vacation this year and all they pulled out were a few small flakes of white wax and stray hair. it was pleasantly ticklish though.

Yup in a big way!

It's pleasantly ticklish and has the ASMR light scratching sound. I use a ear spoon at least once a week just for the sensations.

Getting gunk out of my ear is secondary, but every once in a while a tiny speck comes out, and I'm get trivially pleased.

You can do it at home to an extent by pouring hydrogen peroxide in your ear and let it bubble away for few minutes.  Then just turn over and dump it out in a paper towel.

Driving home on 360.  Fuggin' clown is doing 40 in a 60, and backed up like 40 cars deep behind him.  Slick-top Charger slides behind numb-nuts, then turns on his reds and blues.  Constable gives the asshole Nissan an invite to a future meeting with the Justice of the Peace.  Karma, bitch!

I mentioned my boy has been doing jiu jitsu since July. He’s still on his white belt, but has moved up to go against kids with the next belt up.

I’m pleased that he’s doing well, but he’s not having as much now that he’s getting his butt kicked, instead of kicking butt.

That’s one of the beautiful things about sports. There’s always someone better, and you learn that it takes hard work to get better yourself. My son always got discouraged when he moved up a level in the many sports he played, and I never let him quit. The lessons he learned from that were invaluable, and he has a good work ethic now as an adult.

The boy's 12-year-old female friend confided in him that her teacher, Kaderabek, had added her on Snapchat and sent her messages that "made her feel uncomfortable." The boy then made his own Snapchat account and catfished the teacher by pretending to be a 14-year-old girl named 'Kate' by using photos he found on Pinterest. "Oh, so only four more years," the 6th-grade, South Dakota teacher allegedly said with a winky face.

My son has been bugging me since last week to start a brokerage account for him because "I'm going to buy 1 share of Google, 1 share of Apple, 1 share of Amazon, and 2 shares of VOO."

So we go to the bank on Saturday, but the bankers are fully booked.

He's disappointed, so I told him I'd give him $50. He said "No, it's okay, I don't want your money, I want to earn it."

This is right after he asked me for a big box of Pokemon cards for Christmas.

Just buy him one share of Berkshire Hathaway and be done with it.

I skimmed about a 1/2 cup of beef fat from a soup I was making. Set it aside and let it congeal.

Instead of dumping it, my daughter and I made a tallow candle. It was a fun little project at 930PM. Not sure why so late, but I guess it was a good time giving each other shit about our lack of candle making skills.

At lunch today a reasonably attractive looking lady around my age (50s) kept eyeing me and after about 20 minutes walked up to me, touched me on the arm, and said “you’re sexy as hell, why is it all the good guys like you are married?”

My prompt reply was “what makes you think I’m a good guy? What if I’m really an evil badass?”

Turns out she’s a rich widow and the holidays make her horny and lonely. Brenda, I hope you find true love and aren’t a serial killer.

Still good for the ego.
