15 That "Drivers aren't too Swift" looks like me and my lovely bride the first time we relied on GPS to drive to an appointment right after we moved to mountainous area USA. It routed us through a 90,000 state managed wildlife area. From two lane paved to one lane paved to one lane gravel to animal path packed dirt.

Wow - but lesson learned.

25 Irish people are dicks where Britain is concerned.

Waah, waah, the English are mean and ran your island for however many centuries. Well, you haven't done a great job running it yourselves recently, and maybe you should worry more about being governed by Mecca than by London. (Of course, they're rapidly becoming the same thing, but let's not get into *that*....)

26 I once made the mistake of drinking with a family of Russian Old Believers (kinda-sorta like Russian Orthodox Amish in respect to wearing old-fashioned clothes, but they do use technology).

Those boys can put it away.

I came to my senses and went home when they started trying to betroth me to their 15-year-old sister/daughter/niece.

Yeah, she was cute as a button, and yeah, 15 was legal in Alaska at that time (and is/was a standard age for marriage in that culture), but that just wasn't gonna happen.

I was, I think, 23 at the time.

Flappers: Naughty? Sure, sounds fun. Drink like prohibition was a suggestion? High-five.
Doggo vid is awesome.

He tried to get into a volume contest with her snare drum tonight, and laughed when he lost. Pookette also gave him a "piano lesson" which he loved, and played "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" to calm him down for a diaper change.

Not staying long. My sister and I are very sick with a horrible virus that is making the rounds.

I have done a short cat update

Thanks for the ONT. That dog video was cute. Our cat Cole has recently begun trying to bite and swat the water as I pour it into their water bowl. I make sure to pour high above the bowl so he has a long stream to play with.

Our li'l kitty Scout passed away on Tuesday, and we have been mopey and sad. So, now we must remedy that.

I must say, though, that the vet clinic we took her to mailed us a very sweet card with her pic, and a hand-written condolence note. I would recommend this place to anyone with a pet.

Why do I miss her so much? She's just a dumb cat and stuff!! Gawl!! /s

92 The toddler crying over not being able to take his tampon shopping...our grands fight over a kid size mop. Have done this for about 2yrs. I said I would buy two rakes but they are going to share the mop.

While they don't fight like they did as chimps of 4 and 2yrs old, they still argue over it. Requiring ia vacuum to share. When they come visit we get our floors clean. Sometimes they dust.

We admit to quietly laughing at them when they were younger chimps.

When we are done having grandchildren, I am going to mount that mop on a wall like people do prize fish or deer atlers. Proving I survived them.

Before I leave for the weekend (I forgot it was Friday, arguing earlier on another blog...I am normally peaceful)...In 7th grade our 5th brothers found tampax containers. Showed us their BB guns and were using them as scopes. Had glued thread or something on them as crosshairs & were so proud when they showed us. We were speechless then laughed privately. And hoped they got them out of the box vs garbage.

These boys were wicked. Popping my training bra straps. Sliding a mirror under my door, to check what state of undress I was & I'd step on it. Reading my diary.

93 I was feeling done in, couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before.
I thought there's no use getting into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble and seat wetting...

Now all I want to know is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more
I'll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance
I've got an itch to scratch, I need assistance:

Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me

Also I know the proprietor, Sasha Stone. She's been featured at HotAir quite a bit lately. Great lady. Knew her when she was still an obnoxious leftist. She's an Oscar/Hollywood blogger who got canceled, then saw what a bunch of hateful people she was trying to cozy up to. I invited her to come join us sometime. She could tell us all some stories. She met Robert Redford! :-)

There is always somewhere a weakest spot, —

In panel, or crossbar, or floor, or sill,
In screw, bolt, thoroughbrace, — lurking still,
Find it somewhere you must and will, —
Above or below, or within or without, —
And that's the reason, beyond a doubt,
A chaise breaks down, but doesn't wear out.

She flies out here and does play with the kids but not really help her daughter, and the reason she is here. She will maybe feed the baby but the jury is out for diaper changes.

Tomorrow I am going to make stuffed yellow bell peppers with ground beef, etc, and use the wild rice from Rice A Roni, the San Franciso Treat (without the poison seasoning). Then pop them in the freezer. I read all rice is gluten free, assuming the box does not also set her off.

The setting was lovely, and we were entertained by a live balalaika band - ethereal music, quite beautiful. There were many courses, each of which was followed by a shot of vodka, purportedly to cleanse the pallet. I had sense enough to fake drinking, but the Japanese tourists at the next table did not. One passed out drunk and was dragged out of the restaurant - the only time I've ever seen that. (I've led a sheltered life.) "Drinking the foreigner under the table" is indeed a national game in Russia.

202 If they would bring back Craig Ferguson from his castle in Scotland, I'd watch him. I loved him.

I forget where he is on my list as Mel Gibson is #2 and VP Vance is a close #3 with someone I can't remember as I am tired.

I think me being a total bitch on wheels today with that strange woman on another blog made me tired. I guess I have now used up my mean days for the rest of the year.

Have a good weekend and have fun!

I doubt he will *ever* allow a network to tell him what he can and can't do on the air again.

206 thanks for the prayers - father-in-law is back home with hospice and getting Morphine. Wife and mother-in-law have accepted that he doesn't want to fight - they've seen how poor his quality of life would be and more importantly, feel like they've made every effort to support him and save him. Probably the best outcome for a scenario like this.

The cancer is just too aggressive. It came back in the exact spot he had radiation, within a month. Almost as if the radiation had no effect. It will all be over soon.

You guys would like him. He's more like you than me. Former Army, worked as Border Patrol, then detective for local PD. Doesn't talk much. Me being s Marine was only enough to get me through the front door LOL salt of the earth, we don't make men like him anymore

My driveway was narrow, curved, and joined the delivery alley in back, like a T-intersection. So, what happens?

That toddler is how I am going to look when I have to go to the atheist's funeral and tip toe around no offensive prayers. Niece's husband, an auntifa loving guy who spent his entire life on unemployment...before he got ill due to heavy drinking. Then SSI. Something was wonky because he was on a transplant list. The niece does not talk about her feelings to anyone, so I hope she does well and nothing creepy happens, like a grenade.

We barely knew him, and the niece is no charmer, either. Goth as a teen (my husband's family). I am guessing it won't be ok if I have a couple of gin and tonics beforehand (man, I am mean today).

Maybe I can take my support tampax container like that kid. It probably won't look any weirder if his family is there.

This is probably why I have been mean today, now that I think about it! Good! Mystery solved!

My father's law partner followed events closely. A few years later he got the same diagnosis and chose to eat a shotgun. After seeing what my Father went through I cant fault him.

Bless you all. We were with Daddy for 3 days and nights in the end. He was 5yrs bedridden after a broken hip which exacerbated Parkinson's. Basically the heart and lungs of a man 40yrs younger than 84yrs. Unresponsive but would sometimes squeeze my hand. My hero never complained about anything and kept joking til the last days of his life. I was his only daughter, the eldest, and he thought I was something special. He also loved my husband and sons. He was known as a "character." A lot of fun with him as our father.

It is a sad time, but try to remember the good times when your FIL was healthy.

Moments after my father died, his sitter was with him and woke us all (he was at home those 5yrs with their help)...well, he had the most radiant, peaceful look of awe. He saw something amazing. I smiled through tears.

He was here one minute then gone she told us.I never discussed with my brothers or mother his face, but that is what God had me see and it helped.

313 Reasons to live. Wow, that's something I've pondered since hubby went into nursing home.

Seriously-- 4 years of caring for him at home, with him nearly dying early on-- and wondering sometimes...

What's it all for? He was so very sick, then rallied for a few years, and then suddenly went all haywire to the point I can't provide the care he now needs.

I'm not suicidal.

But I do wonder just wtf will be my purpose after hubby leaves this life?

My husband speaks highly of Southern girls. He has to, you know. But he did and does. I was unique out West in college. Only Southern girl in my nursing class. Most people would be a bit shy but I never have been, so I wasn't going to start. Big deal, I can't say A in words, like cake or baby. I sound Australian I am told.

No easy answer, I reckon. As for me, were I to outlive my bride (not likely), she would want me to keep going. When my Grandma was dying, she told Grandpa, "Don't just give up and die, Chet." He lived nine more years, wrote Christmas cards to all the kids and grandkids, adopted a cat, painted the house again. When he did pass, his pastor told us that he lived a nine-year Novena for his departed Beth.

Rent a tank of nitrogen - leave the receipt so your heirs can get the deposit back. Put it in a small room with a door. Stuff a towel under the door crack. Open the valve. Lay down. Even if the tank isn't empty when the door is opened, it'll clear to safety in a couple of minutes. If you really want to make it easy for the clean up crew, strip down to your underwear (or less) and put a plastic drop cloth under you in case your body voids your intestines and bladder.

And, as I've said before, this is the ideal death penalty mechanism. Cheap, easy, and not at all painful.

379 Ok. Good. I feel better now. The fact that you have a pasture is also good, coming from this redneck who was raised on a cattle farm. The outdoors will lift your spirits over time.

You were loved and have loved. I am starting to understand some people don't have that blessing. Feel blessed about that and it's going to get easier, never forgotten, as grief is not linear. I read that grief is the price we pay for love. Sorry if this sounds depressing, but it's true.

Take care.

BTW, I was about to forget, but Saturn is almost at opposition. Exact moment will be tomorrow, the 21st at 05:47 Zulu, or 1:47AM EDT tomorrow. Mike Hammer will be close to that as well. We differ by just a smidge in longitude.

At any rate, that means transit very close to local mean midnight. For me there, local mean midnight is 1:28AM EDT. Note how stupid daylight times knocks it up another hour.

At any rate, go out "about 1AM" local time, and you'll see Saturn right near the meridian.

They didn't, and it's too late -- the window for the maneuver would've been Sept 8th (or maybe 9th). The main engine hadn't been fired since 2016, and there was some pressure issue. The thing could've blown up if they tried.

Me, I would've tried anyway. They're probably going to just crash into Jupiter soon anyway.

I like that Rick, I may borrow.

There's something in the Bible, I don't remember exactly where, about how Good Works must go through him. God is serious about that - I'm not right with Him, and so my attempts help others always seem to backfire, usually on them. So Ive had to stop until I get myself in order. I know why he's angry with me too - He has given me the wisdom to recognize the sin I need to put aside, and I'm stalling, as if I can reject them in the final moment and be forgiven. That's gaming His Mercy. I would be angry too

What the Democrats won't tell you about David DePape is that he was an illegal alien who voted illegally for socialist candidates, his life partner is an LGBTQ Russian immigrant named Oxane “Gypsy” Taub, and his home featured BLM and LGBTQ signs and flags.

David was NOT a product of the right - he was an insane person protected by Democrat sanctuary city policies. Despite being arrested and deportable - he was repeatedly released without prosecution or deportation.

The boy may or may not have a job at $15/hr at Subway. He has debts he can't pay. My health insurance on which he depends ends the end of December. He has horrible credit, not able to get a lease on an apartment. No idea about her.

They want to get married. I drove in to Anchorage today to determine if he can even get a State ID, since he already lost his driver's license. He also "lost" his wallet with his previous State ID. He needs an address to get a new one. He doesn't have one. Can't get a marriage license without one.

This kid has never shown the least amount of adult behavior so far.

How far do I go to protect my grandkid? Do I buy a condo for them to live in? Would take at least 18 months to get them into state housing. By then the kid will be almost a year old.

You might try calling the local Catholic Church and making an appointment with the priest. Most of them are very open to guiding those who need spiritual help. Very few will "make you Catholic or else." And it is their job to welcome the stranger, so they are attuned to the need for spiritual guidance.

Just my two cents.

I was just looking at Saturn in Stellarium. Right not, the rings are close to edge-on, tilted slightly up. The equatorial plane, would be tilted sort of "lower left to upper right" looking at it.

And right now, Titan is in front a bit and casting a shadow near Saturn's north pole. You'd see that clearly with a good telescope right now. All the other moons would be there, little in ducks in a row around the equatorial plane.

451 Tcn, that's a tough situation. I'm so sorry.

Story time:

My parents cut me loose. Guess I was supposed to toe the line and live my life "their way or the highway" so I chose the highway. Fair enough. I took my lumps and screwed up my life until about 30 years old.

I finally got sick of being broke, got a *real* fulltime job with bennies, and stopped depending on anyone else.

Younger brother? They coddled and enabled him, felt so bad when he had his problems... After Mom died, Dad *still* was ENABLING lil bro to do his thing-- sending $ after $ so he "wouldn't lose his apartment" or his vehicle, yadda yadda yadda. Dude is now 50+, knocked up a GF, married her, & is trying to play Daddy to her *other* kids too... and begging for help all the time...

When he gets some $ to 'get caught up on bills' -- what does he do? He doesn't use it to get ahead while working his butt off, no-- he slacks off until it's all gone & then "Woe is me!" again.

Dad's gone now, too and I sent lil bro the last $ I'll ever send a year ago. Now that I see the pattern.

Again, I'm so sorry!

It's a mistake to even attempt to judge what is unfair. I trend towards the idea that souls live several lives and each one evolves the soul into its final forms. Suffering may be one of the key factors that gives a soul its beauty, or it may be an immunization to survive a greater range of trials and tribulations in the next world. I would imagine an Angel must be able to endure levels of sorrow that would drive a human mad. Sometimes its a blessing to not work in the kitchen.

Boy what a strange odd and weird time for me to encounter such a question.

I am going through the process of watching someone who has been devious, cruel and unrelenting to me - this is not a matter of opinion and he clearly has a severe personality disorder - suddenly be struck down at a reasonably young age with something I wouldn't wish 1/10th of on anyone short of a child abuser/molester and even then I really don't know.

None of us escape without pain and misery, we all get our time in the barrel - and I wanted this person out of my fucking life forever - but holy shit not like this. In any event I have prayed in earnest for him to overcome this, regardless of what it would mean for my own psychological or physical well being should that occur. Brit Lass is convinced he is still plotting against me even now and as insanely self-centered and deluded as the very thought sounds, she may not be wrong.

Hell, Neptune's opposition will be the 23rd. So, Saturn 21, Equinox 22, then Neptune.

Running Stellarium with JPL's DE440 high precision ephemeris, it puts the exact moment of Saturn opposition at 1:45:38 EDT (05:45:38 Z). Now, other official sources are all over the map on that, ranging from 1:37 to 1:57 I've seen. That bothers me.

Grok sez don't sweat it, because lower precision solar ephemeris may be used for this by different sources, as the planet doesn't move much, and opposition is generally consider as over a day anyway.

Hey Jack. Was in the belly of the Mets beast this week. They have great people in mgt and throughout org - smarties all around. On field they need more arms. They won tonight - as you know.

I can't as such. But bottom line, he is likely dying. Want him out of my life but not like this. It's a bizarre feeling to reconcile. If I wasn't a Christian to the bone, I doubt I would give a shit. My life is going to measurably improve in three ways off the top of my head. The relief is palpable, visceral. And yet I don't want it because it's grotesque. Like all of us I have watched family and friends die, slowly. His daughter is getting married in a year. Fuck.

The new ownership has been a breath of fresh air after decades of mismanagement. The last month or so has been brutal but I'm really happy with the direction.

McLean looks legit. As bad as the Mets have been for most of my life somehow they keep finding great arms no matter who is running the place.

534 Rather than accuse God of being "unfair" or "too tough"-- all I want to know is:

Why?

Then, search for some kind of answer.

Still coming up with "why" and don't see the answer.

I'll get it. Some day.
Posted by: JQ at September 20, 2025 02:10 AM (rdVOm)

One thing I absorbed somewhere along the way is to find a substitute for the "why" question. Why implies the source we are asking for answers from has done something wrong. If it's possible, ask "what" or "how" questions, and see if you get different answers.

537 Can't imagine why anyone would think a major killing of a political figure would be a conspiracy of any kind. What with the delicate care the FBI took to immediately hose off the Crooks Roof last year so his blood didn't contaminate the surrounding area, and the fact that covid was just a random mutation of a virus that burst forth due to the Chinese eating bats and that the vaccine was perfectly safe and normal and voluntary. Who would dream of conspiracies in such a straightforward easy to predict and understand world where Occam clearly reigns?

Posted by: ... at September 20, 2025 03:18 AM (E0p3T)

538 By the way for those who said Trump was "racist" against the Chinese, how did it ever get by them that the lie made up by the Left was that the virus only got started because the Chinese are dirty fucks who eat weird shit?

After all this time, I think it was the "a guy made a video" thing after the Libyan Embassy attack, to finally realize, they don't say these things because they expect you to believe them.

They say these things because the truth is open to exposure, and they need a smoke screen to cover them long enough to get away.

The louder they proclaim their illogical narratives, the more likely it is they are scrambling to hide something.

You know why I really hate all these fucking dummies and their stupid conspiracy theories?

Because, for the first time in decades, we got the real information from the FBI and we got it quickly. If there was ever a time to believe the Facts presented by the FBI, it's now. Law Enforcement made it all public. At least, most of it. They're probably holding back some details for the prosecution. They didn't hide shit from us like they did in the recent past. They didn't even play games with the motive and pretend it would be perpetually "still unknown."

But some people can't stop themselves from believing what they want to believe.

I had an earlier part of my career where I was working in the infectious disease realm. So much of the early "expert" claims sounded like utter bullshit, and I remember even coming here and questioning some of it, only to get shouted down.

Which is why I sorta went down the rabbit holes of conspiracies and all that. Spent a lot less time here too.

By the time they were calling Trump a rayciss, I was already onto American universities that were supplying the viral material that made it over there. So in a very real sense, no. It wasn't a "Chi Nah" virus, but whatever.

It sure as hell didn't come from bat soup.

It's problematic for anyone to START with a belief, and then go fishing for evidence to back it up.

But I think it's more dangerous to think Kash and Dan and Pam have cleaned up the FBI, and now we can just go and trust whatever they say.

I don't know about any of that, but I do know Chinese men buy tiger bone because they think it helps them with their limpness problems.

However, they've slaughtered so many tigers, there aren't enough of them to keep the shops full of the product.

So what did they do? They pay African poachers to kill lions, and then lie to the buyers about it being tiger bone.

We have a guy who married into the family. Nice guy, Mexican-American, a bit of a slickmeister, but he's alright.

Anyhoo, he claims these skills at "authentic" Mexican food, and brings it to family get-togethers, gives out jars of homemade salsa, that sort of thing.

All in all, I prefer Taco Bell over his "authentic" Mexican.
