Wonder if Methuselah celebrated his 969th birthday. Probably not. I’m early on the downslope and already entirely over it. But then again my birthday has always sucked. A sign, prr’aps? Most years Half doesn’t even remember the day … although if I were to forget Half’s birthday the heavens would fall, water would cease to …
Hands & Holes: redux?
It occurs to me that men don’t particularly like women. Now obviously men like the things women provide, see: sex and services, each of which and all can be contracted for, legal or no. It’s as if the (un)fairer sex is a burden to be borne and endured rather than enjoyed. Seems the feeling is …
Chink (Thass Ray-sssisss!!) in the Plot Armor
No it’s not. Just like “niggling.” English is a funny, funny language, and terms that might be offensive in one context ain’t so much so in another. Like “nip.” Used as a derogatory term of one of Khan’s Kids, but can also mean a little sip of something, typically liquor. Anyhoo, was watching the greatest …

Whatever Happened to Greatness?
Dating myself …(BTW, carbon dating is not accurate beyond about 3,000 years, according to the guy who pioneered the concept, just saying) … … but the greatest TV show of all time is/was MTV’s “Scarred.” Sorry, but the suffering of others was the absolute height of amusement. And only because they did it to themselves. …
Not Planning for the Future Doesn’t Guarantee There Won’t Be One
Have to admit: never thought I’d make it to this age. Lived pretty reckless as a “yout.” Live fast, die young, not sure how good-looking the corpse would have been but death is indiscriminate. Bloated, black, and gassy all. Never thought I’d have kids (a kid) either, so there’s that. And one thing children give …

The Idiocy of Instagram, the Foolishness of Facebook, and the Execrable Existence of X
Recently, Half was, not shrilling at me, exactly, but there was definitely a tone. See, I refused to speak to the remote to find something, somewhere, on the TV, and Half got … exasperated. Told me it was time to get with the times. AI and the robot overlords make everything easier, no pressing buttons, …
Asphyxiated Pig
How nice. The Tubes of You are actually good for something other than spice kings and fails. Mentioned (several times now) that food duty is my duty, along with other household stuff. Half does Half’s part, but since I’m WFH, get treating like SAHM. So! Half and theKid didn’t grumble, exactly, but there were comments …
Ignorance is This
Read somewhere (or maybe I’m making it up) that being beholden to the numbers on the scale is detrimental to weight loss. So … rather not know. Might check every six months or so, but make no promises / tell no lies. Instead, just working on being consistent … the MaxiClimber and I are getting …
The Fault of Feminism; or Say Hello to Dr. & Ms. Frankenstein
Per the usual, it’s all men’s fault. Yes and that includes feminism too. The MF is feeling the repercussions of the standard man’s disengagement … send the societal message that a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle, and that man will riiiiide on out. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Men …

Cheap Thrills
Reading is excellent, inexpensive fun. Portable, reliable, no need to charge. Can even do it for free, at least used to. Haven’t been to the library in a minute(open on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 10am to 11:15, and hurry up!) This may surprise you (Other Person, You) but I spent the majority of my recesses …
