OK not mad, exactly. Just perplexed. A bit irritated. Confused, as to this. OK so there are not one but two two holes in the ceiling … one of which due to gross negligence, the other to … idiocy? Morons moving through the world? Stupidity just strutting about? Yah, methinks so. OK so face-tatted “guy” …

Not sure what’s going on here. OK, so: backstory. The Elder has brain disease and a house. Can’t do much about the worms invading the skullbox but the house is a can-do, methought. Got some familial tenants residing, keeping eyes on things … good for them, good for all. Anyhoo. House needs some TLC … …
Mary Mallon was born in Ireland 1869, and emigrated to the US at 15. She worked as a cook for several rich families in NYC, seven of whom contracted typhoid fever.

A vizier is the most trusted consul of the sultan, with powers constrained only by the sultan himself. One particular vizier had dutifully served his sultan for over 30 years, but his blunt honesty had created many enemies within the sultan’s court, who spread rumors designed to instill doubt in the sultan’s mind as to …
Did I enjoy that? Not sure. I think so, but … hmmm. Dunno. Nice little apocalyptic fare … thwarted (of course) at the last moment, which (of course) is the fairy tale. Books (and movies, for that matter) that end in the absolute destruction of man’s civilization tend not to fare well. People, silly little …
Sitting here amazed that there aren’t more 70-car pileups with multiple fatalities on a day-to-day basis, on these here ‘Murrican highways. What the Staties call a “high-casualty incident.” I mean … seriously. Recently read a BuzzFeed … feed? Article? Post? Musing? about the Internet’s perspective on the world before and after the plandemic (yeh I …
theKid has been involved in sports from, oh, say, slightly after exiting the womb. Half was instrumental in that. I’m inclined to let children grow like weeds, let ‘em take over and blossom as they will but I’m also deeply in debt and fairly irresponsible soooooo … yeh. So theKid has played sports (sport) for …
Watched “Se7en” again just recently. What a great movie. Not as big of a fan of “8MM” but to each his own. Nic Cage did his usual; Joaquin Phoenix was actually quite stellar. Had to die, tho.’ Anyhoo, back to “Se7en” … “What’s in the baaaaaahhhhhkkkkkksssss?!?!” There’s a scene before the scene where Mills asks John …
All this bru-hah-hah, all this strum ‘n drang, all this hullabaloo, makes me wonder just how (not)smart the Supremes really are. And how much of the Dobbs decision is rooted in the Supreme Court’s own demagoguery. Alabama (we can already see the problem there) recently ruled that embryos are actual people, despite having neither brain …

OK so … marriage is [supposed to be] a partnership, right? Then why is it so endlessly frustrating? Because people gonna people. Ergo / to wit … Half likes to keep information fairly close to vest until … “Duh-dunna-naaaah!” Here; do this now. Sigh. Grunt. Groan. Half is the only one in the household w/info …
