6 So I'm sitting here and I'm thinking...

Dangerous, I know.

But I think about Ozempic and weight loss etc and I think, ya know, the body does have a preference on where to store fat, right? It's not the same preference, it changes with each individual. So Sons bodies prefer here, others there.

Then I think know women.

Some women have bodies that prefer storing fat in the middle, some in the ass, some in the...

Then I think, instead of a weight "loss" drug how about a drug that prompts a woman's body to shift fat storage into her boobs? Probably wouldn't be difficult. Instead of trying to flip a switch off or on, which sounds like it carries many risks, it's a simple redirect. Plus it kills two birds with one stone. Slimmer women with bigger boobah.

Gentleman, if we can land a man on the moon surely we can do this.

We will take a rest then go for a walk and come back for pumpkin pie.

What made it extra special was going to church this morning , but to a church where I was not responsible for anything and could just enjoy the service .

62 For those that saw my Uber misadventures post last night on the ONT, I have an update... we have a car detailing appointment tomorrow morning at 9! So my hubby might be able to salvage some of his planned income for the weekend. He'll be able to get the Fri/Sat eve shifts at least! Giving thanks for that.

For those that missed it:
Husband should have been able to Uber all last night; Thanksgiving Eve does really good business. He had planned to bag $400-500 for the night, working until 4 am.

He'd only netted $100 so far when a drunk lady in her 40s got in his car. She proceeded to throw up on the outside and inside of our car. And peed in the back passenger seat. And she didn't say anything! He very randomly found out.

He took pics and reported it to Uber. She'll have an $80 fine added to her tab. Hubby needs to get it professionally detailed, but of course nothing is open on Thanksgiving, even the 24 hour places. So probably earliest can get it detailed is Friday. That's another night of business lost.

So frustrating! He's too mad to sleep. This is the second time someone's thrown up in the car and ruined his night. We really need to invest in waterproof seat covers methinks!

Going to work later so I'm getting ready for that. They're will be a turkey feast there too courtesy of Wegman's. It's ok. Free anyway. I appreciate it. Not watching football. I'm watching a 24 hour sportscar race (24 Hours of Spa in Belgium) on YT. It was raced back in June. Hope all is well in Horde Land today. We do have a lot to be grateful for!

79 Hard for me to even pay attention any more to politics tea leaf reading. Its obvious we simply aren't being told anything any more beyond attempts to affect public opinions. Example today. Trump issued a statement about the Guard shooting where Biden was to blame for bringing in unvetted Afghans..apparently the shooter was in an "elite" Afghan commando group that worked with the Army and CIA, so they KNEW who he was when they brought him here and shortly after he was taken. I am sure Trump was told this. Absolutely no truth released to the public any more.

At first, I guessed cats were domesticated one cold night when a caveman stirred in his sleep, and discovered cats tucked in all around his body. Instead of clubbing them, he thought "This is cozy! I think I'll wait until tomorrow morning to club them when I wake up." But the next morning, they were gone, because cats are smarter than cavemen.

96 "Gastric nuclear explosion."

Decades ago, I once decided to sugar my 200% All Bran cereal with chopped dates. The gas pains were so bad I almost went to the ER. A gas so blinded by anger that it couldn't find the exits.

97 Turkeys from space?

“Tryptophan, the essential amino acid behind the Thanksgiving myth that eating turkey can make you sleepy, has been found to exist on Bennu, a small asteroid that swings by our planet about every six years.”

99 29 years ago I had Thanksgiving at a sushi place.
Where is everyone? they asked. Explained Thanksgiving to them. They comped the whole meal, saki included! Good times.

At first, I guessed cats were domesticated one cold night when a caveman stirred in his sleep, and discovered cats tucked in all around his body. Instead of clubbing them, he thought "This is cozy! I think I'll wait until tomorrow morning to club them when I wake up." But the next morning, they were gone, because cats are smarter than cavemen.

105 HotAir: Progressives Settle on a Response to the Shooting of Two National Guard Members

https://tinyurl.com/3t9wkpxn

The left *spit* is saying the Guardsmen wouldn't have been killed if they weren't there.

It's a little like saying you wouldn't have gotten robbed if you didn't have nice things.

Or your daughter wouldn't have gotten raped if she covered up more.

Or WWII wouldn't have happened if Poland didn't have an army.

106 There is an unwritten rule in frisbee golf that you are required to be high, or at least working on it. I can tell from her laugh that at least one of the announcers in the video was following the rule, despite not being a contestant. Such strict observance! Such rectitude!

Don't know about roasting root vegetables like turnips and parsnips. Try peeling and slicing parsnips, simmering for 10 min, adding twice the amount of sliced carrots, covering and simmering until all are tender, liquid is almost gone and parsnips are falling apart. Add salt, butter and pepper and stir. You will have carrots coated with parsnip fluff.

Eat turnips raw. Especially the little sweet spring turnips.

109 I would go out in the walking trails with a pipe cutter & cut those stupid golf frisbees goals down , now they don't put them out in the woods anymore. It's a trail for bird watching & walking not a play ground for idiots.
