    Tomorrow at 2 am it will be 1 am, and my computer clock will be right again.  I tried changing it in the past but it just reverted back.

      That got me this morning!  In my tired haze,  Not even sure I was getting up...Heard an alarm (clock) go off in the other room and I thought "Whaaaat!?",  then it hit me.  Usually I'm better about knowing/remembering the time changes, etc.,  but this time...I think because of a power outage I've already had to reset my clocks lately,  so it seems like it already happened :)

    I'm crazy spoon chin guy.  I've got a damn spoon for a chin. 

     

    NOW GIMME SOME CANDY!!

    I got 2 numbers on powerball.  It's a miracle anyone ever wins.

     

    Going up to $800 million for next drawing.

      That's true, but the REAL miracle is that the NES sold like hotcakes.

      $1.2 Billion next time around! Which means a $500+ million cash option. Holy Jeepers that's a tax hit.

      If you win, start looking out for lightning because you have a better chance of being struck than you do of winning the lottery.

    I tweaked my back when I was doing squats.  My form was a little off.

      Been a while since I last saw a Freddy movie, but don't remember crucifix's being used to actually help stave him off. Dracula, yes... but Freddy? 😁

    Well , at least the Terrapins were competitive against #4 Michigan.  They only lost by a TD.

      Since that doesn't seem to be English, is it a secret code that is telling the extraterrestrials to attack? You work for the CIA, don't you? :D

      I mean, it IS September 24, after all.

    It's no longer "nickel and dimed".  It's more like five and tenned.

    Are you ready for some football?!

    Having weird issues with cable tv today.  Some of the channels will black out but others stay on.  The blacked out

    channels come back on a after a few minutes.  Also, sometimes I will lose the picture but still hear the audio.

      Are you both in the same area?

       

      I don't know...

       

      What if this is how it begins???

      I was in Massachusetts at the time.

       

      I DID tell my wife "Uh-oh... the nuclear war started. First thing to go is signals in and out of the area." She almost killed me. Guess she didn't find it as funny as I did. ?

      Massachusetts, Maryland...As long as it begins with an M...Not sure but it always seems like the Zombie Apocalypse begins with something that seems innocent...Or Judgement Day,  The Night the Vampires take over, Alien Invasions, The Day After, Day of the Triffids, Invisible Invaders, War of the Worlds, Empire of the Ants, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Giant Spider Invasion, Night of the Comet...  I bet it all starts with your cable acting funny ;)

    I just got back from the Outer Banks of NC yesterday.  The larger set waves were all closed out , but the medium and small waves were ridable.

     

    I got a redneck tan/burn because I wear a neoprene shirt.

    I must have fallen asleep before the neighbors started setting off fireworks, because I didn't hear a thing.

      They randomly do fireworks in my area as late as 2 in the morning, starting a few days before the 4th. We get all the super-loud noise, but nothing fun to see thanks to all of the trees.

    3. GoldLeader

      I usually can just step outside and see some...But last night I was busy doing other things like watching TV and internet stuff.   When I worked the night shift I used to enjoy the (4th of July) drive to work because, from the interstate, I'd see fireworks from all over town.

    4. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      Seems like almost every place I've lived since the 1960s, if we don't go out to find people doing fireworks, we usually can't see any. It's like some kind of fireworks hell. All we are allowed to have is the noise.

    Happy 4th of July

      It was not Apu, they were out of town, it was a different store.

      You're right.  Thanks for the correction.

    I had to get my cat euthanized this morning.  He had intestinal cancer and was suffering.  He hadn't eaten

    a thing since last Wednesday.

    Now, after getting upset, I feel lonely.  The reality of it is setting in.

      It's always tough saying good-bye to a loved one.  I had to had my cat put down due to old age (20 years!) in early 2021, and I still think about her from time to time.

      So sorry about that...

      ? So sorry.

    Sometimes it takes a great effort to make a few small pieces come out.  And other times a huge one comes out and

    you don't feel a thing.

      Well Keatah,  the thing about that is... wait..

      I don't bother with the small stuff. Just let it compact together into the long one.

       

      But really I wish I could shit like a goldfish. Get to show it off, sometimes twice as long as yourself!

    Remember chicken pox?  Well, now there's monkey pox.  

     

    They say it clears up in 2 to 4 weeks, but it looks nasty from the pictures I saw.

    "..oh, I'm stressed..."  Tornado watch until 7pm today.  However the severe t-storm looks to fizzle out and go to our north

    on future radar.

      We had Snow yesterday!   (Just ended up on the lawns,  it didn't add up or stick around...but still)

    Never buy a house with a pool, unless you have the money to pay someone to take care of it for you.

      Getting a Floatron and pool vaccum/suction thing cut down our maintenance significantly.  It's actually very little work for us now, although of course YMMV. It is more expensive than you might expect though.

    May the 4th be with you.

    Wow, eggs went from around $1.50 for 18 to $4.49.  That's the most inflation I've seen of any product.

      Cooking oil has more than doubled in price in a few months over here, at least the cheap kind. The more expensive extra virgin olive oil hasn't changed so much in price, meaning the price difference between cheap rape seed oil and higher end olive oil now is very small.

    I got a phony phishing message saying my paypal account has been locked.  I didn't even click on the email.  I just went straight

    to paypal and logged on to check.

      Good man!   Almost every thing like that is a scam.  I just wish there was a place to Forward such emails,  where they could investigate and prosecute such scammers...Of course I also think Robocalls should be eliminated and prosecuted so What do I know?

    There's actually some snowflakes mixed in with the light rain we are getting.

      It is now snowing heavily and covering the grass and deck.  I've never seen snow in April before now.
