Should Ohh Enn Tee, Be Forgot, And Never Brought To Mind
Hello all! Welcome to the first meme ONT of 2026! Got some fun stuff for you, plus some Christmas leftovers. Let's start with this. It's a new year, but what if you were given the chance at a new life. Total reset, the clock rolls back to the day you were born. What traits would you choose if you could?

I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things that we could have had

I wouldn't choose any of those.
I would choose to have a complete, sanctified understanding of my salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ from my first conscious moment.
Then I wouldn't worry about health or death or wealth or comfort or genetics and I would be naturally winsome to friends, animals and women.

$5 million spread over 25 years of retirement isn't what it used to be.

About to wrap it up for this first Friday of '26. Warm weather here and it will continue for a while, which depresses and annoys me no end. Miss Linda has trundled off back home and the feline thugs are trotting around, hoping something has gotten in that they can chase and kill.
For the do-over? I'd take either the trust fund or the $1m, whichever is larger. A million may not seem like that much today, but it can generate interest. And when I get older, I can make it work for me. Of course this presumes that my parents Version 2.0 don't fritter it away and have the sense to teach me how to handle money. That training I did not get the first time around.

Chiseling has been ubiquitous since there's been chisels. I worked for a nationally known moving company that paid day laborers (I was one at 21) a weekday rate and a weekend rate that was 2/3rds of that, effectively making overtime into straight time. That was thirty five years ago. The algorithm is just a shiny new way to do a very old thing.

My idea is that no one owes me jack. I am not magically entitled to an inheritance. My folks worked hard and are comfortable. That gives me peace of mind. I'm a saver and thrifty. I don't need their money.

Circumstances; I was in a boiler room, after a search, with dad, a cop and his dog. Shepherd seemed just like a regular dog hanging out.
I asked the cop about it, he said, I'll show you but do not move a muscle. OK. He gave a command, it was just a soft word no DI yell,
Shazam! Goofy became Mr. Vicious in the blink of an eye.

I made far less than 92k and raised two boys in Seattle. Put them through private school and lived in a very good neighborhood. Provided their healthcare and took them to Mass and they had clean uniforms and played sports.
I won’t own a home and I’ll never retire.
But my kids were MY RESPONSIBILITY. NOT anyone else’s.
Parents owe adult children nothing.

retirement is over rated. I'm there. Financially well off, no debt, own my home... worked for it for many many years...
But... I'm bored. Partly because I am single, but sort of locked into where I live because my Son is living with me...
but it is a bitter sweet thing... when you once were all that and a bag of chips... and now? just feeling old.

$5 million is plenty to retire for 25 years, you may need better investment advice
this is not about what is owed or what is wanted, it is not about responsibility or ability, it is about what is smart
It is smart to peel off $200-$250K to assist with a down payment to convert your kid's rent to equity
If you had only $1 million in the bank I can see the reluctance but investing in real estate and in your own family is usually the smart thing to do. Not always, but usually.

Yep. I may not have turned out exactly as they might have hoped, but they did give me the necessary life skills that have allowed me to become independent and self-sufficient for the most part. That counts for a lot.

So one of the new fusion energy startups found a way to improve and optimize the profit equation for their reactor. It think the name of the company is Marathon Fusion. They found if they integrate mercury into the system's breeder blanket they can transmute it into gold. Highly radioactive gold that would take a few years just to decay enough to sell. But alchemy! They also think palladium and other useful metals are possible. This could change the economics substantially.

Sadly, its an apples and oranges type of argument.
The real question is, do you trust the kid? or the market. Right now? my 34 year old Son is in Failure mode... unemployed.. living with me... has health problems... and has come to some really bad philosophical conclusions... a few weeks ago he sat in my kitchen and called me a Racist.
So... do I trust him with major capital outlays? uh... I've already in the past given over $150K to get him out of debt.... debt he is still in... sooo...
It really all depends on the people involved IMO.

Three decades ago I helped my recently married younger sister by giving them the 25% down to get a nice home in Sugarland.
She is a Congress critter in KY now and her husband is a senior exec for a large food company. They recently bought a second home out in the hills of TN.
They have totally forgotten that "loan" and never were appreciative of it.
Some people are just that way.

Anyway-- older bro (the Golden Boy) got the lion's share of the estate. About half. That was the easy part! The remaining half, will be split between me & 2 other siblings once I sell Dad's house... if everybody would just get their stuff out! But younger bro keeps dragging his feet, *stalling* so he can use it as a free hotel when he visits. I wanted to be done with it in 2025. Didn't anticipate all the problems with hubby's health! It has set me back a year at least.
So...fml, while the other kids just sit back with their hands out. JQ gets to do all the WORK. Oh, they will whine and scream when they see the final accounting...

You got to be kidding.
People of wealth don't have rooms filled with stacks of cash representing their entire wealth. Indeed many are not really all that liquid - its tied up in investments.
That is why I roll my eyes when those stats come out and say that only a small percentage of people can write (and clear) a check for $5000. Even for that amount or a few orders of magnitude more, I would still have to move money around since all of it is working and very little is at rest.

To follow up, the X-rays showed Finn's lungs were in bad shape despite more than two weeks on antibiotics. He had also stopped eating, which is always a bad sign.
I asked the vet if there was any reasonable road back for Finn. She said no and I replied that I'd be over as soon as possible for the last act. Everything went off very peacefully.

Agreed: responsibly bred purebreds are task specific - you want a working dog? You can choose the breed that supports the work you need done. (Unless you want a Newf to do water rescue, then make sure they don't have a bad experience walking into a pool as a puppy and redirect that water instinct to pre-emptive rescues by preventing anyone from entering the water.) You want specific temperaments or behaviors? You look on breed standards and find dogs that have what you need. No one is stopping anyone from rescuing, but don't stop people from getting the type of dog THEY want.

I was overall happy hiding behind bodies, but the ones with the grands I am going to request she hack off some of my hip. I mean she evaporated the background of the mirror, one of me trying to get the baby to smile and also looking like a lunatic. So it could be possible. Will talk to her tomorrow or at some point.
I am not ready for filters yet to change everything. Just some quick lioposuction if possible. It will probably end up looking like I am being stabbed by a tree ornament, but worth a try.

My Irish parents owned a delicatessen. A few years back, a grammar school classmate sent me an email telling how my father saved his family. My classmate's father had died or disappeared, I don't know which and his mother was hanging on by her fingernails. In desperation, she went to my mother and begged him to let her start a tab so she could feed her family.
My dad agreed. He pulled out a notebook and started her tab that day. She depended on my father for months for food for her family. She never paid my father, but he didn't expect her to. He remembered all the times in Ireland when he went to bed hungry and how during the Depression he didn't work for two years. He survived on cheap potatoes like the good Irishman he was. This was his way of giving back.
He wasn't rich, he wasn't educated, but I could never have asked for a better father than he was. One of those rare Christians who didn't talk the talk, they just walk the walk.

It ain't my rear...it is the wider haul. And not that bad but I need to get 'er done. I need to do this to stay healthy.
I never think about it until there is proof. I did laugh at the one shot of me, reflected in the mirror and later photoshopped out, making the baby smile, as I look like a total loon...but she is smiling and they can photo magic me out of the mirror that tells no lies.

My mother and father were the same, altho different circumstances and he had a chemistry degree he did nothing with. Generous to others. Helped others without telling the world, but I'd find out later that he helped our maid's granddaughter through junior college. Things like that.
I grew up with much love and still am surrounded by love. And I thank God each night for my life.
Wonderful stories. I helped patients in my time, but that was my job and I did it well. I can't recall lately being a true helper for a stranger. Will look for opportunities in 2026.

I made far less than 92k and raised two boys in Seattle. Put them through private school and lived in a very good neighborhood. Provided their healthcare and took them to Mass and they had clean uniforms and played sports.
I won’t own a home and I’ll never retire.
But my kids were MY RESPONSIBILITY. NOT anyone else’s.
Parents owe adult children nothing.

During the June festivities Israel hit the 4 main internal security bases in Tehran, reportedly with very heavy casualties (forces were assembled and on alert - something tells me Israel knew this was exactly the SOP during crises and .... well). There was recruiting to fill the losses after June, success unknown, but certain that any fresh faces will have little experience and a healthy level of anxiety.
Yogi Berra's dictum about predictions applies here, but several novel aspects to current goings-on. Protest chants are explicitly anti-regime, not about some specific policies, and reportedly unrest has spread to semi-rural areas and small towns, something not seen in prior upheavals. Tabriz area has joined the party, which historically indicated a very serious situation.

Serendipity: I've got a few really good friends, despite being the introverted semi-autistic asshole that I am.
Money? The reshuffle covered that. I'm doing well as an engineer, but I grew up borderline poor-to-working-class, and still think that way. "Live within your means and save for the future." Gonna retire well before 65. My folks can spend all their money on themselves; us kids are okay. Of course, I'd be doing hella better if I just ran a Somali daycare. Stupid morals!

Jimmuh was a bumbling fool during the Iranian Revolution, but the fuck ups go way before then.
See the 1953 coup, which the CIA and MI6 orchestrated. Eisenhower and Churchill decided to do that. Truman before had resisted doing that, against the Brits -- that's a convoluted story. They overthrew the elected Prime Minister, and let the Shah (the last one) assume monarchial power.
The Shah's father was deposed in 1941 during the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran. He had gotten friendly with the Nazis, and the purpose was to keep Germany from getting control and maintain supply lines. And of course oil supplies.
The history there is long and complex.

That's my understanding of what happened. Miklos would post hilarious Raimondo-esque word salads with that nickname. And one of the "open blogger" CoBs banninated all the raimondo nicknames on a night when the real rainmand'oh was being especially toxic. And Miklos had to wait for one of the full-power CoBs to un-banninate him, since the open-blogger ones have banhammer power, but not un-banhammer power.

Heh, Then vice-president of Iraq, young Saddam Hussein offered to kill Khomeini for the Shah while the nutjob was exiled in Iraq. Hey, I'll kill him for you if you want, no problem. You sure, I'd love to kill him.
The Shah turned him down. Israel also debated killing the SOB while he was in Paris there at the last. Supercuck PM Shapour Bakhtiar there at the last, realizing what was going to happen, begged the Mossad station chief in Tehran to take out Khomeini.
Israel debated it and decided against it. At the time, the Mossad chief senior strategerist thouhgt Khomeini wasn't much of a threat, that the Iranian army would take care of him.
So....

While vacationing at his home on the Caribbean island of Nevis (part of St. Kitts and Nevis), US Supreme Court Breyer, his wife Joanna, and guests were attacked by an intruder armed with a machete. The robber broke in around 9 p.m., demanded money, and stole about $1,000 in cash before fleeing.
