I left FB before the pandemic and don't regret it. When I still had an account, I had to verify my account by sending them my DL. I did it but blanked out my address and DL #. That was invasive enough. This is just insane.

I wonder to this day what happened to mom's Lladro figurines and the Royal Dalton tea cups. I'm sure my sister got Nana's sterling and Mom's plate. It's really sad that the Danish modern furniture had to go before she moved up here but she was happy with IKEA and CostPlus replacements.

I got her pots, which was all that mattered to me. There's something symmetrical in making Boeff Bourguignon in the same pot you learned to make beef stew at age 14.

That's a Haggen Daas bar of unknown provenance. NOT a popsicle.

Old Chemists never die. We just fail to react.

Tried to unsubscribe at start of the year when they added commercials to Prime Videos. Wouldn't let me cancel. I could set my subscription to NOT RENEW but I could not cancel it and get a pro-rated refund. So I'll keep it until December with it constantly reminding me how much I save on postage with Prime. Won't really change my usage patterns. I'll just group my purchases until shipping is free. No more 50lbs of cat litter drop shipped overnight for $2.50.

In LA's Silver Lake, there used to be a gay bar that had a mirror above the trough urinal so you could look at anyone's dick while they were peeing. That's either your greatest fear or your greatest fantasy.

Someone should suggest Clarence play a game of solitare. If the Chinese can Manchurian someone, I'm sure Putin's got something similar.

Lovely little utility.

Shut up and take my money.

Although with the state of both Target's near me, there's often stuff out of stock.

  • peroxide -- come on. The last time Target didn't have peroxide or rubbing alcohol was during the pandemic lockdown. What their excuse NOW?

  • Hershey's Almond Nuggets -- OK. They're popular. So if there's only 1 bag left, you should maybe order more.

  • t-shirts in my size -- the men's accessory clothing section was a disaster. I don't know when the last time a sales associate tidied up, but there were underwear sizes all mixed up from different brands (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, etc.) and quality. I had to buy what I wanted on-line.

It's gotten so that I don't trust either of my Target's to have stuff I buy there on a regular basis.

I disabled History and only see my channel subscriptions. None of the options above appear in my Youtube feed.

I hope the insurance carrier that covers this school district sends them a letter saying that their anti-litigation insurance will be cancelled in the coming year. And because they failed to "take steps to decrease bullying", all litigation claims until then will have a $10,000 coverage cap.

This should make enterprising attorneys quite enthusiastic to find students who've been buillied. I'm sure there's at least 1 trans kid out there.

The problem with the new Back-To-The-Office mandates is that management forgot to order donuts for the daily standups. Things got ugly.
