The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do
long day - no complaints really, just long
Damn, it's cold. Funeral day. Mom is becoming a source of concern.
🫂 I read ahead, so I know the ending. Was hoping the day would go as well as could.
Good morning Wat, OM and MissK. I will know scan results this afternoon. The MRI was with the new machines and so no claustrophobia. It was loud even with ear plugs and music.
🫂 Hope you get good results. Been thinking of you all day!! Glad no claustrophobia.
it is a control thing
Right? My mom did this, too.
You might have to shape a link…. This might be fun to watch.

Or not…
Well, doggone. Now I don't remember what show we were going to watch.
Sunrise this morning. Press play.
Lovely, but glad I wasn't driving. Driving into the sun hurts my eyes and can trigger a migraine. Beautiful but brutal... Mother Nature
I wish that people understood that if you don’t feel well to stay home because your infecting the rest of the team
💯 this!!! Keep your cooties to yourself, y'all!!! 🧫
Haha.... I used to HATE pickled beets...now they are a yum..... our taste buds change
I like green beans, brussels sprouts, yogurt, and a few others now.
I vaguely remember that.
B.J. and the Bear - I do remember that one
The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo - no memory, but think aptly named?
Wow this forum has changed a bit, of course I haven't logged on in the last 14 years. Retired now and attempting my hand a writing some stories for here. Just wanted to say hello.
I did the same not too long ago... so
Here's the standard welcome for all café newcomers:
Welcome to the café.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

To be clear:
1. No religion 2. No politics 3. No drama 4. This isn't a hook up thread. Take it to the DMs or go somewhere else.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe

This applies to all who visit this thread.
If this feels like a good match, welcome...

If not then please keep looking on Lit -
There's so many threads to choose from. You're sure to find a few to your liking.
It did, well enough. That side of the family is weird. The other side is dead, so they're less complicated/complicating. Mom dropped several f-bombs while riding down and said she might slip up while we were there. She didn't that I heard. The service was okay. The priestess gave a homily and talked about how Death is hard. Death isn't hard, it's fucking Life that's hard. I didn't correct her after the service. Once she got out of her vestments, Wat could see what a killer nice ass she has. She got a pass. Most of those people we only see at funerals. I have tighter family in this-here online bar. I had a first cousin - probably 45 or so - introduce himself and say we had never met. I agreed and told him, let's keep it that way. There was a picture of Mom, who was walking by herself at 92, her 89YO step-sister on a walker, and her 85YO 1st cousin on a cane and they did a Little Old Lady picture. I said out loud that it looked like bridesmaids catching the bouquet to see who's next. Someone heard me. It's fucking true . . . . The ride home was uneventful.


Mom also forgot to pay her phone bill so it's cut off.


:rolleyes:
Family, eh? Thanks for the reminder to check my own cell phone bill. :oops:
Made my youngest daughter make corn bread from a box (Jiffy). She did a good job but she wouldn't eat it. Bah!
I was raised on Jiffy corn bread
I prefer from scratch so I can leave out most of the sugar. I prefer mine savory with a kick. Sub out sugar for some cheese, garlic, and jalapeños. Mmm, yummy!
Hone from sewer board.... they tried to slip a transfer of 400000 dollars without board approval except for board pres. My co board member and myself put q stop to it..... then tried to quote Robert's rules to us.... they were wrong.....AND then someone wants a sewer credit for watering lawn..... I reminded we had an ordinance and it is not feasible to manage..... its bs.... all over 1 guy who had a high water bill from watering his lawn during a drought with a watering restriction in place..... who happens to be friends with our sewer board admin...I will be voting no
I was on a board and we had it set with the bank that any transfers over a certain amount required 2 signatures and it could only be the 2 on file w/ the bank. Specifically to stop this kind of end-run BS.
I made the comment that "it is as if you all are talking about stuff without us" .... they are used to a bunch of yes men
Today's word is "corruption", "corruption"
@likes2watchU do you have a sun burn?
someone's gonna after I either chap some ass or yeet them into the sun
(I'm leaning towards the latter, but can't throw that far 🤷‍♀️ )

Shessh. People!

Trying to curry a favor and call in favors with friends on the board….

The only politicians I will ever respect or local ones. Thanks for doing a great service to your community.
 
Long day of solid meetings. I blocked the last two hours of my day to work on a deliverable for work.

Took me from 3 to 7 PM, and I’m only about a quarter of the way done. Urgh… weekend work… 😕 but there’s no other way.

My wife and I are members of the New Jersey backyard forestry Association, and we attended a very interesting webinar on forest fires.

Bummer about the work project.
The webinar sounds way more interesting.
Hang in there... TGIF is only hours away 😃

Seriously, glad it went just about as well as it could do.
