Yuk.....
:LOL: My diet is so crazy these days with numerous intolerances... I pretty much eat the "Foods to Include" (with a few key omissions for intolerances) and cannot tolerate most of the "Foods to Avoid" without getting pretty... uncomfortable. :rolleyes:

Always thought I was just a picky eater... now I have a diagnosis that explains the madness. 😂

But for most people, yes - this can be a difficult diet to follow.
Sorry rj
I found a new fave thing. Only get 1 a week
Phillipino Ube pandesal (bread roll stuffed with ube magic)
Yum
Oh - they're baked, not fried!! I will need to look for them in my area. I've had taro and really liked it: Poi in Hawaii and Taro frozen yogurt. 😋 I hear Ube is similar... a bit sweeter and can be creamier.
Thank you for putting this idea in my head. 😂
 
OMG - Wheaties Wednesday

Busy at work - busy on the thread
Good thing I got my nap today 😂

Quick catch up while I ponder what's for dinner...

Tell me you had a good time without telling me you had a good time 😂

First, we're all Kung-Fu Fighting... now we're all fighting for Best Driver? :LOL: 🚗

Got a good night's sleep but felt even more tired when I woke. :unsure: May need to string a few early nights in a row to turn this around. :LOL: Did get a good nap at lunch. So good that when the alarm went off... I thought it was morning :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: 🌅

Catch 'em and don't let 'em go, B2!! 🫂

Well, you know... the faster you finish, the faster you fish 🎣

I'll need an independent Fact Check but - AI says:
You're thinking of "Spy Hunter", a classic arcade game released by Bally Midway in 1983.

In Spy Hunter, you drive a high-tech car outfitted with gadgets like oil slicks, smoke screens, and missiles to fend off enemy vehicles. The game is known not only for its fast-paced vehicular combat but also for its iconic soundtrack: Henry Mancini’s "Peter Gunn Theme", a famous jazz tune that plays throughout the game and adds to its secret-agent vibe.

strong Handyman vibes here
must be some industry standard :rolleyes:

Beach Boys and Carpenters - always bring chills and tears 🎶

Yes - one more YT video cancels out all the cray-cray :ROFLMAO:

Several have mentioned Brian Wilson's passing... what's your favorite Beach Boys song?
This one brings back so many childhood summer memories:

My husband and I saw them in concert years ago. It was such a good one!
 
Good evening Spooners!
I'm in Port, after traveling the length of two states to get here.... now awaiting a crew boat, to haul me out to my boat, so I can work from midnight til noon. 🤣
Which Portland?

I had no trouble working night shift, 7P-7A. Sometimes I would work 3P-3A; I liked those. But 11P-11A? Nope, nope, nopety nope! Once those day shifters got in, I wanted OUT! I salute you, sir!
 
I was once in Rome, on an evening food tour, with several Americans in our group. The audible mass intake of breath, when our guide explained that Alfredo was no more authentic italian than peanut butter and jelly, is a moment that still makes me laugh to this day. One, unpleasantly loud, woman even had the temerity to ask the guide if he was sure he had his facts right. :ROFLMAO:
Some of us are so smugly certain we know EVERYTHING! 🙄🤬

I admire you, as those are some odd shifts!
I've often preferred night shift, but this is different... midnight til noon for the first half of my hitch, noon til midnight for the second half, then a normal life while I'm home... I honestly have no biorhythms left.
