    I don't want to dream about Schrödinger's pregnant cats anymore. She is both pregnant and not pregnant at the same time being spayed and not spayed at the same time too. Very confusing state for a cat found in my dreams.
  • With the release of the chihauhua, I can finally make the dog from my story, Bandit.  I played with some Strand base hair to puff up the ears frills.  It's been a good, non-complaint day.

    ...I tend to cook my own. 

    Though during the brutal heat wave we had, I bought deli sandwiches at the local Safeway.  Not bad for 3.99$

    Tonight I pulled a container of my homemade pasta sauce from the freezer, Warm up the sauce, cook some pasta, and excellent home cooked dinner.  Didn't even break 80 today as teh clouds never totally burned off, so more like it should be at this time of year. very welcome relief.

    Based on the severe medical problems (and early deaths) of numerous bodybulders who indulged heavily with steroids, I'd say that gambling on 'roids is not an unusual or strange concept what-so-ever.indecision

    I think there are steroids in my inhaler, but that was doctor prescribed. It is also to help breathing not anything else.

    There are many different types of steroids to ameliorate different problems.  Some bodybuilders use (and abuse) "Anabolic Steroids".

    And for a short while, even I experimented with anabolic steroids with some success.indecision  However, I also lost a very dear friend to them.crying

    Toxic.  So is just about all reality television, particularly when you learn that reality TV has roles for "director" and "writer".  Huh?

    My friend's kids were watching/making fun of some "reality" show where couples were screaming at each other about some idiotic offenses against each other... after a few minutes I pointed out the camera angles made no sense if the argument was being filmed in real time because the person being yelled at would have to be invisible for the shot to align. 
    Even though they were making fun of the show, they started to notice how fake everything was, including shots where the lighting in the view out the window would change back and forth indicating quite a bit of time between shots that were supposed to be unfolding a one event. 
    Sadly that kind of ruined it for them because as a staged thing, it wasn't as much fun to riff on than if it were real. 
    That's the dumbest thing about these moronic shows... most of them are staged and directed to a large degree... sure the people may be dysfunctional as all hell, but there isn't a lot of reality in their unreal behavior.

    Personally, most of the crap on TV is worse than the crap in those Bigfoot/Scandal tabloids they used to sell at the checkout lane.

    Long live Bat-boy!

    I rarely use my antenna as I don't want to wade through all the news and junk to find something I want to watch then to find out it only has about thirteen minutes left.

    The staged conflicts have also ruined many shows that I would otherwise like to watch, like the one where they build custom bikes.

    Baby possum insists she is very cute...

    Well, I took that last year, so she's probably all grown up now... but when they aren't hissing at you, possums can be kinda cute sometimes.

    Complaint... (Again with the lumber prices)...

    All the newspapers and news outlets keeps saying "Lumber Prices Are Plummeting!"... I do no thin dey no wat dis a wurd meens... "Plumateen".

    If an item is normally $5 and it suddenly becomes $12 and stays at $12, how is that plummeting?

    I keep seeing articles where these financial writers are saying the price of lumber has fallen, but when you go into stores, it's still as expensive as it was back when they were soiling their pants that it had jumped so high they all had to write articles with titles like "lumber prices shoot through roof" and "lumber prices hit historic high!"... 

    I think these writers are solely concerned with the prices of lumber futures and trading, not actually prices being paid by consumers and contractors.

    I bet none of these dopes has ever actually bought wood or has visited either a lumber yard or DIY center.

    A pox on them!

    Actually, "epoxy on them"... it's probably more annoying and sticky and it seems like it would provide some sort of schadenfreudeish poetic justice vibe.

    Funny story.  My homeowner association was contacted once by "House Hunters"; that TV show where they have a couple look at 3 houses and after an inappropriately long period of agonizing between the one with a stairway to nowhere or the one with the washing machine in the kitchen, they pick which one to buy.

    So House Hunters contacts us; this was some years ago.  They were seeking permission to do some filming of a house in our community that was going to be featured as "one of the three under consideration" in an upcoming episode of the show.

    So our CAM (Community Association Manager; a person paid to do the mundane stuff for the board, like assemble the monthly finances and exercise Godlike levels of patience explaining to homeowners why they can't paint their house bubblegum pink or have a giant phallus stenciled onto their garage door) gets the call, and he asks us in a meeting if we can approve a few hours of filming during some upcoming week.  We asked all the usual questions:

    Wait, is that house occupied?

    "No."

    Is that house even up for sale?

    "No!" (and our CAM can look this stuff up in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to see for sure)

    Will there be a camera truck parked outside?

    "No, we won't even know they were there."

    Um, wait a minute...how does THAT work?

    Anyhow, we approved it.  And sure enough, there was never any sign that anybody was doing a TV show about that house.

    It really is all fake!

    In another story, I heard that when House Hunters participants (contestants?) select from those 3 homes, it is not even necessary for all 3 to be on the market.  Just the one that they actually buy.

    It really IS all fake!

    The price of NFT called "Lumber" is plummeting... Has no relation to actual lumber.

    Financial circuits have abandoned all the real life attachments long ago, they are just speculating with the prices of "Oil" NFT, "Wheat" NFT etc...
