I used to have a semi-outdoor cat. She could come and go from the basement through a cat door. That little shit knew where my bedroom was and every morning she would climb up on the shelf as high as possible and meow loudly as if to say, "Hey! Hey Dumbass! Are you gonna feed me or what!? Heeeeyyyy!"
You gotta remember that some of these people are the same ones who complained that their Southern Baptist pastors were preaching "liberal talking points" (aka, things Jesus said). If teachers actually started reading the Bible in class, these same people would probably start calling it "liberal propaganda" and trying to ban it.
I'm just saying, the irony is so thick that you'd need a rock drill and some dynamite to cut it in half.
If I was a Boeing shareholder, I would be mad as a wet hen right about now. Amid a string of phenomenally bad business decisions that culminated in the flying [sorta] tin can that is the 737 MAX, Boeing is handed an aerospace companies PR wet dream: transporting astronauts to the International Space Station. They then proceeded to drop that softball so hard that the thud could probably be heard from Mars.
Didn't some cable companies get all butthurt that you could fast forward through the recorded commercials?
They could even provide an electronic box (for a nominal fee, or course) that shows me a menu of all the shows and movies that are available and what times they are going to play. That way I wouldn't have to search through a bunch of streaming services. It could all just be in one place.
"Spend a dollar to save a dime."
And the persistent tiredness.
Presbyterians don't have canonized saints, the way Catholics do. But if they did, Fred Rogers would probably be at the top of the list.
If you had a 1974 Dodge Monaco, preferably the police cruiser version, you could jump that drawbridge with no problem.
What kind of bullshit numbers are these? I live Arkansas. If you make $40,928 and live here, you are poor. Not even close to "middle class."
I had a client years ago who was in his late 80's. He grew up on a farm in Indiana and I remember him telling me a story about threshing grain. He was just a kid in the 1920's, shoveling coal into the firebox on a big Case steam engine that they took from farm to farm. He said they would try to stay near a creek whenever they could so they had a water source for the engine. It was hard, hot work. He said there was a "big German fella" who worked on their crew who never drank anything but hot black coffee, something which fascinated him as kid.
It was an interesting story to listen to. Such a mundane activity but the fact that it's no longer a thing and only existed in the memory of someone who remembered doing it made it kind of fascinating
"Can we get a show show of hands just to confirm we're ready to move forward?"
~~Me~~ Everyone, who wasn't listening and doesn't have a clue what they were just talking about: ✋
