You may recognize me from such places as #NOLAtwitter.

You may address me as Sir El Spotto, as befits my status as a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand (OMS), or you can just call me El Spotto. It ain’t that big a deal.
Not now, The Final Countdown by Europe, not now.

Diet Sun Drop break!

I only accept the superior yellowish citrus soda. This is it.

Sent oats and sprayers. I am headed to the grocery on Thanksgiving Eve.

So yes, not enough capitalization. But the tell is that someone wanted to make it look by him and used both parenthetical and unnecessary quotes around “that was aced”. He could have screamed that in caps and only used the quotes around “aced”.

As is habit in his family, my stepdad just texted to say he is leaving now. This means he is in the RAV4 with the engine running.

We just spoke last night. I know he is leaving about now. I will get at least three texts along the way when he stops. First one is the fudge shop in Sevierville.😂

Can we just collectively decide to forget the whole Jones Soda Thanksgiving Feast thing? None of them were anything less than disgusting.
Jones Green Bean Casserole Soda (2004-2004): A sickly green soda made to taste like the divisive Thanksgiving side dish, with notes of earthy green beans, fried onions, and cream of mushroom soup. Sold as part of a novelty holiday-themed pack of sodas.

Frickin guy just shows up for a month and gets subsidized housing. Is that even necessary if we are only letting kids have one doll and grandma won’t even get new slippers?

Ancient Astronaut Theorists say “shut up, it’s Santa you dumbass”. And I for once agree with them. 🤣😂

Locally made sourdough acquired from the…coffee shop? They are accomplished bakers of breakfast treats, so I am ready for this. Especially as it’s boneless thing to make for tomorrow. 🤣😂

I am saddened that nobody seems to have had the only pie that matters: grape skin pie. It’s made with the thick skins of muscadines. The center of them is flavorless, so it is discarded and a delicious pie made with the skins.

…ok not discarded. The centers make wine or backwoods brandy.

Star Trek V: The One Shatner Wrote As A Comedy is just so abysmally bad it makes any Star Wars movie or show you choose to vilify look like a cinematic masterpiece.

That’s not her job. Her job is to speak the party line and only the party line. It doesn’t matter if she thinks people believe her. Propaganda works not because people believe it (mostly) but because it is omnipresent and louder than anything else being said.
She thinks anyone with ears and a brain actually believes her. Ahahaha!

My stepdad still refuses to drive I-40 after Helene. Tomorrow I do not disagree. He will go up through Johnson City which will add probably 2 hours. More with traffic. I think he’s being optimistic that he will be here around lunch time.

House is (mostly) family ready. I need to hard clean the kitchen, but that’s not part of the deal, that’s me before I spend a day overworking my poor appliances. Give them all a spa day, sharpen the knives, sanitize every surface (again), cook.

If you are in season 10 of any cooking competition and you aren’t cooking in a way that will let you adapt to the curveball you know is coming because it has in every episode for 9 seasons…are you even paying attention to the game? If it’s a Thanksgiving themed episode, count on a t-day flavor twist

Daggum it. Just got an email about faulty freestyle CGMs. I had one. It ran out on 12 October so I don’t have it or the serial number in the app. Stupid thing made me think my new meds had really hit their stride.

…they had not. And I can’t claim a replacement because it is gone.

Drama dog across the side street is being super drama. It’s raining. She isn’t happy being outside. She can see me through my window. She is nonstop barking and the most pitiful howling. Par for the husky course. 🤣😂

I’m not quote posting any of it, but the traditional Turkey pardon is even more cringe than I could have imagined it to be. Could have sent them straight to El Salvador? Fat but HHS says they are still maha?

Yeah, those birds are roasted. Literally.

Well that was some delicious Carr Valley bread cheese for lunch. Now, back to the cleaning of my already clean house that precedes any of y’all saying you’re visiting. Except at step parent level.

Is attendance at right wing, angry Jesus super churches up? Yes. Is that “religion”? No, especially not the one they claim to be. There is nothing of the message of a 2000 year old rabbi left in what they preach.
Trump: "We have more people praying. The churches are coming back. I don't know if you've been reading that story but religion is coming back to America."

Here’s the thing; it’s an existing organization that (in theory at least) is based on integrity and not being a dick. That’s not compatible with their indoctrination. See: OG Red Dawn.

Barely missed Eagle (long story). started an Explorer post in the process.
