Father, Husband,Paramedic,Fisherman and occasional jackass. I am fluent in sarcasm and enjoy the creative use of curse words. We may not agree on everything but I promise to be respectful.
My first Sunday off of the football season. I doubled up on chores yesterday so I can be the complete couch potato just me and my dog, the Phillies then the Eagles. Go Birds!!

Today is my day to vacuum the house and today Becky overcame her fear of the vacuum to “help” me. She’s never seen her crate moved and she was not a fan. She spent the next half hour guarding her castle after I moved it back.

Hey y’all I need some opinions. I’m stuck in my weight loss, I’m down about 150 lbs and my appetite is back with a vengeance. My doc is advising Mounjaro, the side effect profile seems manageable and the several friends I know who take it don’t have anything negative to say. What’s your experience?

I can never hear “Breaking the Law” without thinking of these two

To all my prehospital colleagues here’s another truth bomb from Dr. Milne that is directly applicable to all of us.
I kinda wished I learned this a few years earlier.

I’m betting something dog related; that’s how I acquire most of my abrasions and contusions.

A week shy of the 50th anniversary of its airing MeTV played Abyssinia, Henry. 50 years later it’s still a gut punch when Radar reports Henry’s death although I more fully appreciate why Hawkeye and Trapper kept working.

Draw close and pay heed! @traumasoapboxes.bsky.social herself speaks the eternal truth!
For my peeps panicking about making gravy this year:

Make a roux with the turkey fat from your drippings and some butter.

Don’t shy away. Eff the cholesterol. This is gravy. This is important. Use the fat. Embrace the fat. Gravy is the light and the way. I believe in gravy.

Trust me.

I don’t think he would stand up to the Taliban faction of the Republican party. That makes him dangerous.

Hi- Someone I follow reposted this thread and it wound up in my feed. FWIW, my wife is 10 years older than me, it hasn’t mattered a second of the last 30 plus years. There’s no harm in a little fun, in my case lust grew to like, grew to love, grew to a33rd anniversary in September. Have fun!
Babe, apparently I didn’t even need your permission I already have a date for wednesday with one of them and tentative plans for the weekend with the other 😅

I think I made a mistake introducing my dogs to peanut butter.

I guess I’m intertidal marsh, salt marsh we called them. In the summers the crabs, clams and oysters got us some spending money and in the off season when nobody worked the fish they held fed us. The low tide smell still says welcome home. Proud Bay rat!
On a lighter note, apparently it's World Wetlands Day. Which one are you? I'm self-diagnosing as Peatland. (I love these little scicomm games.)

Trick or Treat was called early due to rain. In an hour and a half we saw close to 100 kids, not as many teens as I would’ve hoped. I was happy to see that most of the kids had some sort of light and some of the Parents were wearing hi visibility vests.

It’s amazing how word meanings change. Today I am 59, to celebrate I went for shots… COVID-19 and Flu. After lunch it’s laundry and back yard land mine patrol followed by cleaning up the garage. Try not to be jealous
