Ace's Rockin' New Year Cafe
Well, not really rockin'. Just kinda the same old crap if I'm being honest.
Once you're Almost 29, is any new years, or any of your own birthdays, really rockin', or even more than a spot on the calendar? The Horrible Year in Pictures. Though a lot of these are from 2020. I think 2020 and 2021 are basically one continuous turd of a year. Anyway:.png)
Here's a story using older video to explain Boji's story, if you don't know it. Otter is ready for his Oscar nom. Napping otter. If you missed it: Smooth Otter Criminal. Cat cuddles with his four bird "friends:" Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Also Dinner. Dog invents game of Hackey-Stick, then buys a van to follow Phish around the country.
The odd kitten.
The Reverse Heist. Dog-faced pony-soldier. A baby elephant wants to be friends with a dog, but the dog's not too sure. Here, let me help you, buddy.
Inman: Haulin' ass.
Happy baby goats playing with a dog.🐕🐐😍 pic.twitter.com/zywEklUh4n

Marlon Brando has a great line in the movie The Freshmen when he and Matthew Broderick are in a college dorm room.
Brando looks around and says something like, "So this is college, eh?"
Then says, "I didn't miss anything."

Champagne is great for the homemade fruit sauce that you put on French toast the next day...you never drink it.
When in Las Vegas this summer, the spouse and I were gifted 2 high end mini champagne bottles by the Waldorf. With cancer, I don't really drink (and I've never drunk champagne), but the kids wanted to try it, so it became a beautiful cooked champagne peach sauce for our dairy free French toast breakfast the next day...

Dr. Peter Juni, the scientific director of the Ontario Science Table, mostly agrees with Quebec allowing infected workers to keep working.
Ezra Levant @ezralevant; 8h
1. Fire healthy nurses who aren't vaxxed.
2. But let infected nurses who are vaxxed still go to work.
That sounds more like Pfizer's marketing plan than public health.

Spoiler alert:
In football, touchdowns are worth 6 points. The team then has the option to kick for an extra point, or run a play to try to get two points.
Field goals are worth 3 points. A defensive Safety is worth 2.
Hope that didn't spoil it too much.

Marion County in Oregon had a problem with the Spanish speaking restaurant owners failing the health certs, so they hired a Spanish speaking inspector to deal specifically with those restaurants to speak with them in their own language with an understanding of their culture, and it seemed to have worked some how, in that they all are passing the inspections.

Avocado is no bueno for dogs. He hoovered up a dropped cube of avocado years ago and he was terribly ill for days, lost 5 lbs (of ~20), and then spent the next 3+ weeks doing antibiotics followed by probiotics. Seems like we've dodged that bullet this time around.

No, it was "Spanish Civil War Book" but all the books on the Spanish Civil War use the actual words "Spanish Civil War," which is annoying.
Books on China generally use "Dragon" in the title, so I'm being ironic. Ben Roethlisberger can explain it to you in ALL CAPS.

I was lucky enough to be able to take a 20 day tour of the UK in 2016 with a group of friends, and we ate all the standards, even fish and chips. But we all agreed that the best food we had on the entire trip was the first night at the airport hotel near Heathrow, where they had an Indian food buffet (3 big tables worth) all made by Red-Dot Indians. It was incredible.

On another note, got some bad news today. Our old friend Eddie is in the hospital w/ covid. The scary thing is that after dieting he still is ca 300 lbs. He's on oxygen, his oxpulse reading was down in the 60s when it should be in the 90s. Better now, last word was it was 88, hopefully he has turned the corner as Nance his wife said.
If you pray please include Eddie and Nancy.

Got an urgent notification from HR regarding compliance with OSHA Covid-19 emergency temporary standard (ETS). It said to send proof of vaccination by Dec 30 (I don't have that proof and will not), and complete all vaccinations by Feb 9. Formal company policy to be issued Monday, Jan 3.
I didn't see anything about testing in this message. My understanding is that testing/mask is an alternative to vaccination in the OSHA proclamation. I will wait for the full policy on Monday. If testing is not going to be an alternative, I may be out of here pretty soon. Waiting also for Supreme Court hearing Jan. 6. But the Court has been disappointing recently...

RE: the comments offering you condolences.
To clarify: You didn't seem a think-skinned underachiever with delusions of adequacy, so I didn't think you were a Wolverine fan. But we have yet to meet face to face, so I did not have first-hand knowledge of whether or not you drove a rusted-out Chevy Astro covered with yellow and blue house paint and block M decals.
You know, like most Michigan fans.

I used to live in the brick streets around the corner from a 90 year old lady who everyone said was insane. She used to patrol her yard with some old semi-auto, and on every new years eve I could count, from the direction of her house (which was only a 100 yards from mine) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!!!" yep. and it would take her about 5 minutes to reload and do it again.

One of the worst things I ever saw was when I was about 14, I was on my bicycle and came up on a wreck where a motorcycle had been stopped at a red light and a cement truck didn't stop and ran over him, I saw the ER people load his remains up into two separate body bags.

My mom used to threaten HISD with calling Marvin Zindler when they wouldn't fix problems at my elementary school. It was a very poor, mostly-black school with a handful of white Montessori students, and HISD would let them go with a broken A/C in Houston in August, let the roofs leak - I remember eating lunch next to a trash can half full of rain - etc., because HISD, which was NOT run by white people at the time, did not give a shit about poor blacks. Marvin Zindler would have eaten that up with a spoon. But he didn't have to, as the mere invocation of his name was enough to get the school repaired.

Don't know about other grocery store chains.
------------------------------
My local is a chain called Metro -- I assume Canada only -- but I've got a fancy Walmart fairly close with the full grocery and deli section and not just dry goods and it was fine from there too.
And coincidentally enough given tonight's topics, I also get the vegetarian potato & peas samosas at the local; the Walmart has them too but theirs were deep-fried and not baked like the Metro ones so I usually only get the Metro ones.

Depends, I think most of the BBQ and noodle places focus on their strengths, gimbap and sushi have different focus, and anyways, Americans just call it sushi no matter what.
The local place run by Koreans that serves sushi is called Fuji Rice Time, so I think they just go with it, whatever it is.
My wife calls it gimbap, but then she is Korean.

Where that really hit home for me was having a special needs kid and trying to get him adequate support through the public school system. As will surprise no one, their support was wholly inadequate, and they flat out lied straight to my face about what was happening with him. I, with help from my parents, had the financial resources to get him into a private school that gave him what he needed, but before I could do that, there was an ARD, and I guarantee you those women still wake up in the middle of the night shaking from the tongue-lashing I gave them. And they deserved every bit of it, too. I don't feel bad at all.
Anyway, back to the point, one of the things that struck me about that was, what about the parents who DON'T have the financial resources to break their kids free? There is a big gap between the income level where financial aid is no longer offered and the income level where financial aid isn't needed. We didn't qualify for any financial aid, but that doesn't mean we didn't go into debt (which we're now out of) to get our kid the help he needed.

I'm sure everyone has read online that DeSantis has made no public appearances since the 17th.
The left, being the uncharitable ghouls they are, are saying he 'pulled a Cruz' and went on vacay when the Covid heat turned up in FL, while the right is saying he has been supporting his wife Casey during cancer treatment during this time.
Obviously I don't know anything more than the competing internet versions, and was wondering if he did in fact make an appearance at the game.
Either way, best of luck to Casey during a difficult time, and to all of you in '22.

Also, why did the Democrats totally give up on making D.C. a state? And making Puerto Rico a state? (Which would take Ratification by, what, 30 states?)
The same reason the Democrats dropped their Lie about forgiving student loans -- so they can continue campaigning on it?

Why I like his character, and why he reminds me of my own dad, is that he's gruff, and he's profane, and he can be very foolish at times. But deep down he's a Really Good Guy, and everyone who knows him sees it.

There's a fair amount of basic lot parking. It's probably too easy to steal cars in Minneapolis proper to make the thrill worth the risk near MOA. Seriously though. Locals here have no clue about the carjackings unless they follow crime blotters on Facebook and Twitter. MSM report the occasional 3-day task force stings, but those give the impression that the problem's been solved.

King George wasn't dethroned. Not every loss of territory is a coup d'etat. See the Glorious Revolution (which is an example of a coup) for comparison, where the government is replaced but there isn't a territorial change. You can also look up a list of historical coups. The concept is very different from an independence revolt.

• January-August, got to visit with Mom almost every weekend. • February, finally had Christmas with son and grandkids (masked, outside). • March 17 - 25 years since my first webpage went onine • March-May, major medical thing with Milady - got past it without surgery. • June, swimming. Nice 101st Bday party for Mom. • July, a nice family 4th, then I had a bad fall, cracked and scarred, but got over it. • August, lost my Mom.
• September, family relations soured, including we haven't seen our grandkids since. Because we want to kill gramma by not getting jabbed. Oh, wait...
• October-December adjusting to the new post-Mom normal.
• November -Nice the-rest-of-us family Thanksgiving.
• December, a good Christmas, anyway.

I think you've state what most anyone with True Faith feels. I do not relish death, have no urge to hurry it, but I also have no fear of it when it comes.
