A partial paycheck sucks. An empty paycheck sucks more. Not enjoying this ride. I’d like off now please.

For those of you interested. Here is my wife making the “fake” vomit for her high school biology students to test. This vomit needs to have sugars, starches, and no proteins. We giggled the whole time making this slop.

She even gets the school resource officer (deputy sheriff) to drop off the “real” stomach contents to be tested. They buy it hook, line, and sinker. Lol

Each year my wife runs a lab in her science class where she tells the students someone in the community died and the backed-up county needs help testing the stomach contents to see what the cause of death is. She makes fake vomit. Kids test it for proteins. Kids always think it’s real. Lmao!

My daughter is in college. She did a summer internship with AARP in DC. She now has a lifetime membership at 20yo. AARP ain’t for old folks no more it seems…

I feel that should be illegal.

Dude. My clothes shrink in the closet. Stupid closet.

I was oddly amused by running head first into the reality of getting older. This is my actual expression trying to read the instructions, as well as the instructions I was trying to read. #GettingOld #NeedReadingGlasses

Someone in my house ate all my double stuff Oreo cookies. Monster! Then someone in my house replaced the cookies they ate with a brand new pack of double stuff Oreo cookie. What a sweet angel.

I am trying to watch TV but this stinker won’t stop snoring.

I’m not happy with how much home automation costs. Replacement switches and plugs should not be this expensive. First world problems I know. It still stings the pocket book.

A casserole sounds like a good solution!

I’m making stuffed peppers tonight for dinner. I used to cut the tops off and put the filling into the pepper. Now I cut the peppers into “nacho chips” and top the peppers off. Family loves it 100 times better. Easier to serve and eat!

I just replaced the shower cartridge in my shower. It was leaking. The replacement part was $57 bucks. That replacement part had no business being $57 bucks. Had to be tariff costs. My god.

Just cancelled my monthly mickey subscription. Instead signed up for a monthly PBS subscription for the same amount.

That’s sage advice for the younger folks that may be reading this.

When someone starts a sentence with “I’m sorry but…”, you know that what’s about to follow is going to be a hot mess.

I hear that when you when big, you pay yourself a reasonable livable annual wage and then bank/invest the rest for a rainy day. That's just what I hear at least. I feel for the guy... winning big should come with a financial manager consult.

I picked up this gem at Barnes and Noble over the weekend. It spans decades, 80's and up! It's like an anthology. A Gen-X dream. So much nostalgia. I remember enjoying so many of these comic when they were originally published.
