Someone want to explain why Good Intentions Paving Company always makes me want to cry? Like every time. Your post reminded me it existed and I haven't heard it in years, and BOOP! watery eyes.

I've learned about new authors and artists and have gotten to tell them and my favorites how much I enjoy their work.

My actual team is 5 members, two of us live in the same city. We all like each other, and they wouldn't be involved.

I'm gonna be 59 in December. I don't need this shit.

Penny Dreadful Blood Orgy

One of those people died a few years later and when I heard about it I was like, "Who?"

No. Don't make me do this. I'm happiest NOT doing them. It's bad enough I have to do a Zoom Christmas Party.

HoHoNO!

2025 Corporations still think Team Building Exercises is a good idea.

"I know, let's take a bunch of people who work in the same space, who have zero job overlap and make them talk to each other." 👍

I haven't done one in 10 years and the last one, I never spoke to those people again.

I'm flying on Black Friday. Thought about and bought flight insurance.

The sad reality is that often for long time married couples when one partner dies the other isn't too far behind.

We know Dolly believes in Heaven and if there is one without a doubt she's going and will be reunited with Carl.

So if you keep that in mind, that's not a bad thing.

Gird your loins.

Picked up the guitar after a year and a half. Yeah the world sucks and is on fire but I have to recallus my fingertips, stretch my aged fingers and forearm tendons and learn the frets again.

Playing for an audience of one

Yes that was the key. "Ann Summers Jessica ______" baffling

I'm doing a bit...you think I'm actually going to do research which would have unlocked EVERYTHING?

No. I am not.

Oooh she's Australian!

Ann Summers inventor of the Rabbit vibrator.

Yes... bizarre is well, kind of my brand, but just on the other side of the weird line.

At first I didn't unstand, then I worked it out. I really understood the second half, wheelie, bin men, all that. The Jessica Rabbit part threw me, but I got it.

My translation and the part about speaking English was the joke about the differences between the two.

Was having a laugh.

These are words and concepts right? I understood gay neighbor.

Ohhhhhh! You pitched the vibrator in the gay neighbor's trashcan so you don't blush when you see the garbage men.

Got it. Glad we all speak English here.

Basically a printer is an electronic goose.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
