What RUINED your day today?

[MintJulie]

Well I just gagged reading that. 🤢🤢🤢

Oh gosh, I'm  sorry. 

I'm feeling better though.

[msslave]

Got your land legs back now Jules?

Hope that was just a "hickup" on your voyage, and the rest of the day was fun.

Oh my god, is everybody trying to get me to get sick.

I’m so sorry to have you feel that way, Miss Shiela. 😞

Yes I know I don't have to read this, but I can't seem to stop myself either.

there’s many things I regret reading, though as you said, reading these has a mesmerising effect  similar  to chain reaction machines .

Took my cat to have his claws clipped this morning. Local pet store allows volunteers from a cat shelter to trim kitty nails and all they ask is donations. Yes, we're generous.

What hurt was, one of the ladies is in the habit of calling all cats Angel. Soon as Neville was out of the carrier, she called him Angel...the name of the kitty we lost in October. I told her the curmstance about losing our Angel and she was sympathetic. And yet habit had her still calling Nev, Angel. We still and always will miss her so much.

Thats an unfortunate coincidence. Couldn't have been easy for Neville to hear either, love 💋

Would a chain reaction machine be the same as a Rube Goldberg/Heath Robinson machine? A contraption that does nothing in an intriguingly complicated way?

There used to be a creator of such machines called Bruce Lacey. Don't know how many people remember him, but the whirring and clanking of one of his creations is preserved on Fairport Convention's What We Did on Our Holidays album.

I once stumbled on a website selling kits for do-it-yourself machines. I was sorely tempted to buy one, but have nowhere to put it, once assembled.

Ironically, there was a state wide competition yesterday, open to all schools in the state, to form teams with the goal of building a contraption that would squirt a dab of hand sanitizer in "the least efficient way possible". From the pictures I saw, Rube Goldberg would have been so proud.

Back on topic, my brother let me know last night that he wouldn't be able to visit to watch the Super Bowl with me. He lives five hours away and has been making the drive for the past few years. For reasons I won't go into, I can't go to visit him, so I'm on my own this year. Bummer.

Sorry Hilda, Never heard  any of those names before.
Though, thank you , as now I do(woo)
And yes, you’re spot on correct, as I looked up the pics of them Rube Goldberg machines.
Though only one I’ve ever seen in action is this,
The Lemonade Machine https://youtu.be/Av07QiqmsoA

That sounds dreamy! There should be more people like the competition’s organisers in the education system.

Sorry to hear about this PurpleShoes. I hope you both still have a great game to witness.
Which team do you support?

Usually I would be hosting a Super Bowl party. But with the divorce, and the new bachelor pad, that’s not going to happen. I had hoped that I could watch the Super Bowl with my son, but he advises me that he is responsible for the Super Bowl party at his fraternity house. Yeah, if there is one thing my family knows how to do, it’s throw a party. So I’m glad to see he inherited dad’s skill set, but that still means I’m going to be watching the game alone tonight.

[Shiela_M]

That's unfortunate love. Get yourself a box of tissue, some lube, a bottle of bourbon and have yourself a solo party.

[Asmodel]

What teams are playing this time in  the super bowl?

[Pornhubby]

I took all my sexy photos and videos of a certain Wisconsin girl, and made a movie. Now I just need a soundtrack to go with it.

Bummer about your divorce, Ph.

Done with chemo today and was picking up prescriptions in the pharmacy when I got a text from wife of best friend. She had to call an ambulance for him. He has COPD, and couldn't breathe.
I went to ER and they told me he was already in a room and wif was with him.

A nurse was kind enough to go back and tell her I was out there.
She came out and filled me in on his condition. Last I heard he is doing better but they're keeping him overnight. His memory is going too so maybe he won't remember much about today.

[Shiela_M]

He has COPD, and couldn't breathe.

Happy he's doing ok. That's a scary thing.

A few years back before KB, I had an aunt with asthma. She had an attack, and her emergency inhaler wasnt helping. She kept refusing to go to the hospital at her boyfriends request, and she ended up passing out. Bu the time the ambulance got there and got her to the hospital, she had gone too long without air, and was braindead. My dad who ended up having say in things talked with her boyfriend and they agreed to take her off life support.

Something like that can go from bad to catastrophic in no time.

I thought I was having a bad day, until I read the last two posts. And I realized I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

It is my son’s 20th birthday. And he canceled our plans so he can go out with friends. “When you coming home son? I don’t know when, but we’ll get together then Dad. You know we’ll have a good time then.” — Cat Stevens Harry Chapin

I lost a couple of friends that way. When one of them didn't show up for work and didn't answer phone calls, his company sent someone round to his house. They found him lying outside his front door, hand reaching for the inhaler in his pocket.

I know the feeling. Daughter announces that she's flying across the country to visit us. She says, "Hi," drops her bags on the floor, and tells us she has a date with friends. "See you tomorrow or the day after — I'll be in touch."

I found out one of my employees lied on his resume about professional licenses he said he had.  His manager found out last night he lied.  I liked this guy. He did good work. But he has to go.  This motherfucker tried to show us proof from an invoice.  The dude photoshopped the damn invoice.  I swear a 3 year old could've made something a bit more convincing.

We hired a legal assistant once, who not only lied about her certification and experience, but she also had two felony convictions for forgery and theft. Deal breakers. There’s just no telling what goes on in some peoples heads. Jesus Christ.
