    Go home, Todd!

     

    In other news, the Livestream was amazing. It wasn't actually live (it was recorded earlier in the day for Europe I believe) but the costumes, sets, singing, and dancing were all on point. Especially the dancing. She's so goofy in her videos, I hadn't realized that she was that graceful. Definitely worth $15. Plus, I recorded it, so I can watch it whenever I want to now.

    He finally left! It only took NINE hours. After the door closed, my husband came to say goodnight. I mentioned how long Todd had stayed, and how I was surprised. His wife is notorious for wanting him home early. Turns out she's out of town for the weekend! Figures. Anyway... I can finally relax. Sweet, sweet privacy.

    It's been six hours and now they are doing shots of Jim Beam. sad

     

    At first I was worried about poor Mr. Beam and wondered what he had done to engender such a reaction but then I realized you said "of" not "at".  Never mind.blush

    ... There are people in my living room. sad

    Okay, yes, guy #1 fixed our kitchen light and I don't even think he is going to charge us. But he also invited guy #2 and I haven't seen them in ages. The hubs and them are sitting in my living room, eating chips and having guys talk while the cats and I are holed up in the bedroom wondering if it would be weird if I went to make a sandwich. 

    I really am not used to having other people in my house, especially since Covid hit. Social anxiety is a B. 
     

    Making a sandwich is not weird... making a parrot sandwich out of two paperbacks and a slice of asiago, while dressed as a sexy gorilla is a little bit odd... But making regular sandwiches is not at all weird and don't let anyone shame you into believing it is... if you feel like making sandwiches you go and do it no matter what people say... unless it's the police and they are telling you to put the knife down because you were making sandwiches on the tellers counter at the bank... that's probably a bad idea... especially if you are also wearing the gorilla costume... I mean if you think you can run pretty fast and the costume is bulletproof, then give it shot, but that's just a little bit much and I'm not supposed to recommend that to people anymore according to my lawyer... 

    Be proud of your sandwich making, don't hide away in your bedroom with your cats making sandwiches under the bed... you'll get dust balls in the mayonnaise or whatever condiments you use... also... don't store mayonnaise under the bed, apparently that's not healthy... 

    You should March out there with your big sandwich making cleaver in one hand and a fist full of ham in the other and walk right up to those tool using, light installing, guy talking, chip munching handy dudes and say in your most imposing voice possible "YOU!  YOU WANT A GODDAMN SANDWICH? ALL I GOT IS HAM! (**shake fist full of ham menacingly**) SO THATS IT!  SANDWICHES FOR EVERYONE? RIGHT!"...

    That's how you break the stigma of sandwich making prejudice... it's liberating and empowering and if they pee their pants and run off you'll feel your social anxiety slip away instantly.

    It's an unorthodox way of coping, and it's probably why they revoked my psychiatrist's license... but it was written in crayon on a Denny's placemat anyway and I still have lots of paper and crayons, so poops to them!

    Good luck and sandwich on sister!

    Complaint:
    WTF?... I'm pretty sure I've found another forum bug... a few minutes ago when I visited this thread TJohn's post from April 30 (last night) was the last post in this thread and there were only 35 pages... left this thread and read a different thread, came back and it was still the last post... so I wrote my own post/response and when it loaded there were 36 pages and comments/posts from last night and this morning.

    I've suspected this has happened a lot of times before, but this definitely confirms it.

    Drink plenty of water afterwards to avoid dizziness and or nausea. Also avoid lifting heavy machinery, kissing possums and performing acrobatic maneuvers with commercial aircraft for 24 hours.

    We used a trap to catch an opossum in my aunt's attic.  Ever examine a 'possum up close?  They are about as attractive as a rat the size of a 15 pound rat.indecision

    second time this week putting on street clothes.  i'm still peeing yellow dye from the eye dr.  i was dieing to make a dr who joke there, but couldnt think of anything.

    my nerves are shot. already regurged my tea.  tea fail. 

    still bummed over the 600 frames.  

    was sitting outside.  telling my meighbor's dog 'i love you'  to the iggmeister.  my neighbor heard me.  thats gotta be weird.  the crazy old lady from downstairs saying i love you to somebody else's dog

    Only if you try to kiss them on the first date... you have to get to know each other first and it has to be a mutual thing.
     
     

    Also... Apparently quoting is even more broken than it previously was!!

    Meeses is the plural of mices... as in "I hates these meeses to pieces"... Mooses have unique plurals... one moose is a moo, two are moosez, three are mooosen, and four or more are alottamooses.

    I don't know what to say about "I'm still peeing yellow from the eye dr."... you literally stumped me, there are so many things to do with that statement that I'm just going skip making a joke and say I hope you stop peeing yellow... was there a different color you were hoping for?... never mind... I hope you get better or better colors...

    Sorry about the tea...

    Sorry about the render, that sucks, been there, it's super annoying and frustrating.

    Your neighbor is probably jealous because nobody ever rubs her ears and belly and tells her they love her... its not weird, in fact I'm pretty sure the Bible says "love thy neighbor's dog as thou lovest thine own dogo, for dog is god spelled backward and to love a dog is to love god"... I believe that is from a letter by one of the 12 opossums to some people they used to write to... like a letter from Saint Fred to the Atlantians or something like that... I never really read the Bible, there weren't enough good illustrations and too many plot holes... I probably should have paid more attention in catholic school too... but yeah, dogs have the ability to love many people and some folks don't get that.

    Complaint:  I returned to my bedroom last night after midnight dead tired, to the sounds of my UPS beeping incessantly.frown  It's there to protect my bedroom TV, DVD player, computer, clock & bedlamp.  It's only a 350VA unit so only the computer, lamp and clock are on battery, the others use just the surge protections,  But it provides some protection at night if a storm cuts off the electricity.  The clock and light are available for quite a while if the TV and DVD are off.  But I digress..., the beeping sound was the "OK, you idiot, you were warned to replace the battery a year ago and you didn't so now it's completely dead and I'm going to scream until you turn me off." message.   The problem is, I have an octopus living under the table in my bedroom, it has a zillion wires for things like electric blanket, headphone charger, telephone, another lamp, another clock, WiFi client, fan, etc. ..., going everywhere because there's only one wall outlet in the whole bedroom.  And now I have to remove about 5 wires from the UPS and determine what other things connected to the 5 headed octopus are not really necessary so that I can plug the clock and lamp and TV and DVD into something  And between me and the octopus are several plastic bins of clothes, and attic junk that hasn't been returned to the attic yet and the UPS is screaming and this old body doesn't want to decend to the floor without falling over.

    So, I find myself on my knees on the floor with a sprained wrist, twisting my body in all sorts of unnatural positions trying to determine where the various wires go.  Finally I've played musical plugs sufficiently to have my essentials running and I can extract the UPS from the place it has taken root and blanketed itself with dust.  That was eventually successful but dirty.

    So, this morning I start looking for a replacement battery at the APC website, find one and order it.  But just after I pressed the payment button, I thought, "Oh crap, I probably could have gotten it cheaper at Amazon and without shipping charges too."  Sure enough instead of $47 through APC and their tax & shipping, I could have gotten the exact same battery, complete with APC logo through Amazon for $37 with tax but no shipping charges. frown  Boogers.

    i'm back from the first shot.  was a nice drive to the old suny on 107. 
    was quick and painless.  felt a sudden fatique bout an hour later.  they said to hydrate. 
    for a special treat went wendy's drive thru.

    i think all the mooses are in Canada.  none around here.  Deers, possums, foxes round here.  once in a while a horse trots by, usually with a human on their back.  if you goin out drinking, better to have a horse who knows the way home with you.

    ...that's OK, not trained in SCUBA anyway Sad however to hear that what sounded like an interesting experience became just another seagoing playtoy. 

    Still would love to do a real Transatlantic crossing 

    The Queen Mary II is the only passenger ship offering them during the summer season.  A few years ago Cunard actually removed the casino on the B deck and converted the area to single occupancy cabins due to the fact more people are travelling solo (well, before Covid). Beforehand, you had to pay a "single supplement" like in most hotels (basically the cost for the entire cabin that is usually shared).  The ship still has more on board amenities than the classic liners of old, but they do their best to give one the feel of a real "crossing" rather than a the typical "casino resort on the sea" type cruise.  Unfortunately it would require having to score a decent lotto payout to afford it as I'd also make the trip from Portland to New York by train, just like in the old days.

    It's no wonder there is so much stress and angst today as people always tend to be in a rush to get somewhere or do something, I always thought the purpose of a vacation was to relax and take it easy.  Really wish I had the funds to travel the "old school" way instead of on a "Greyhound bus" with wings.  Crikey even Greyhound buses have become more comfortable than airline "steerage". 

     

    I always buy a first class ticket.  If buying with a long lead-time, the extra cost for 1st is between 25 and 30% more.  Worth it because my bags are free and I don't end up needing spinal surgery after the flight.  1st class is one of the things I will pay extra for.

    If 1st class is too expensive or not available, then I might just stay home.  The food's probably better here anyway!

    ...yeah, I find it the only way for my tall stiff arthritic frame. that "Premium" Coach still has the "cursed" middle seat and you still have to pay luggage fees All you get for a significant markup from "steerage class" is a couple inches more legroom and free beer or wine.  Yeah First is not what it used to be where you were treated lavishly.  Today it is more what domestic business class used to be like, but stil la significant cut above sitting in the rear cabin.

    As I mentioned a number of posts ago I considered a trip back to my old hometown in late summer, but the FC fares out of Seattle skyrocketed from around 550$ to over 1,000$ almost overnight and the nonmstop flight I had planned to take (on this new Airbus jet which is getting lots of favourable passenger reviews [see below]) was no more.

    ...had that happen with the smoke alarm recently telling me it needed a new battery.  it would sound off about every five minutes, then stop for a couple hors and start up all over again.  The only trouble was it occurred when I was having severs back spasms due to a pinched nerve, and in no way was going to climb on a chair to reach it so I could replace the battery.  It was difficult enough to get a comfortable night's sleep the way it was with all the pain I was in.

    ...have that and the other French Quarter sets on the wishlist.   Hoping Jackson Square (with St. Louis Cathedral) will be one of the next instalments.  Spent a fair amount of time in the Vieux-Carré when I lived there. Was a regular at Cafe du Monde, famous for it's beignets, and coffee with chicory.

    Cafe du Monde.

    You guys are funny. I hope everyone is feeling decent and that your electronics are working properly. 

    I tried a new bubble tea place today. It's literally right next to the one I always go to, so I don't know why I didn't try it sooner. Fear of change maybe. The tea there tastes more like actual tea with milk and less like the fruit flavors mixed into it, but you get more and they also have a reward points system. I like the tea flavor, but I also prefer a sweet drink. If I could just get them to make it a little sweeter, they would be my new go-to bubble tea place. I'll have to ask. 

     

     

     

     

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,023

    ...nice. Hope you had a good time there. 

    I lived there back in teh 70s so I'm sure a lot has changed. I did notice they actually reinstated the Canal Street streetcar line as well as built another along the waterfront.

    Nice that there's a direct train (The Crescent) which between New York and New Orleans . From Portland I have to go through Chicago.  As it's four days three nights the total fare (with aa compartment as I'm not about to sit up in a coach seat for four days) is 3,200$ Crikey I can fly Business Class to London from Seattle (and get a lay down seat) for less than that.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    we went to santa fe on the same trip.  it was ny to chicago.  then to new exico train car had the big observation car.  saw all the cows on the way out there.  nm to nawlins, no cows.
