There are two things that will ensure that I will be a 'no show' at a party - fancy dress (costume party to you guys I guess) and karaoke. I was, however, once heard belting out Teenage Kicks by the Undertones at 4 in the morning, in a curry house, but that was over 40 years ago!

But it’s such a great song.

Even if you are singing it.

Similar to the Scunthorpe problem?

The problem was named after an incident in April 1996 in which AOL's profanity filter prevented people in the English town of Scunthorpe from creating AOL accounts because the town's name contains the substring "cunt".[1] In the early 2000s, Google's opt-in SafeSearch made the same error, with local services and businesses that included the town in their names or URLsamong those mistakenly hidden from search results.[2]

Ok. My bosses dad just got put in hospice. He was playing golf and had some back pain.. he had cancer but they were treating. Went to the er and stage 4. Met with oncology and they made the decision to stop treatment. My coworker is on dialysis now and his sister died from cancer in 8/8

Our team is struggling....

Sad news. Prayers…

Why am I not the least bit surprised?

I had safty glasses save my eye. Too long to a story for here but you never know what might come flying thru the air in a steel mill or a construction site. I wear glasses all the time so they do not bother me. Just be safe out there, bad things can and do happen.

My brother was using the wire wheel on a bench grinder and got (what he thought) was a piece of rust in his eye....
He tried and tried to pick it out, finally gave up and went to the eye doctor, who got ahold of it and pulled out a FULL LENGTH wire from that wire wheel!
It still makes me cringe when I think about it!

Old Cat slept almost all the time. I would have put him at 22 hours/day, really.


His bones rest with those of Big Horse. I like to think that they'd both approve.

Is that the same horse who learned that it's not OK to "shnozzle" a cat?...
If so, I'm CERTAIN that they'd BOTH approve!

There's a line in a Roger Waters song that cracks me up, mainly due to the truth in his summary...

"and the Germans killed the Jews
and the Jews killed the Arabs
and the Arabs killed the hostages
and THAT is the news....."

When I first heard it, I thought "He's right." They could open up with that and then just run 29 minutes of commercials!

Did you grow up near me? That was the snack around these parts!

Same here

So I'm thinking PB and celery is most likely as wide spread as the availability of PB? Enquiring minds want to know

I empathize as a rare cancer took my beloved wife.

Blech

That was decades ago, but trust me, there's been safety glasses, goggles and a face shield available AT that bench grinder since the day after it happened!

Here we are again... what's on the menu today?

I was, however, once heard belting out Teenage Kicks by the Undertones at 4 in the morning, in a curry house, but that was over 40 years ago!

Now that would have been an epic night! Sorry to have missed it.

that mug - but unless it's double-sided, the joke's on me. I mostly drink left-handed.

Ah yes, filters. Here in the US they were forced upon many public libraries. Running filters was a requirement for federal funding. We had to help students get creative with certain assignments. For example, a paper on the benefits of brushing and flossing teeth? The search term "Oral Hygiene" could not be used because of the word "oral"
Try explaining the "why" without informing the youngster of the alternate definition of "oral".

Good morning OM! I Thank you kindly for the coffee and smiles you bring!

I don't directly thank you often enough for the early morning coffee, OM. I love seeing your posts.

G'night all!... story of my life, going to bed about the time everyone else is getting up.

Ah, yes... Song of the Night Shift

I don't think I'll ever be that old!

Even if they were pink?
I have worked several Silent Auctions with handmade eyeglass chains. Oh, the bidding wars! They were uber popular!

I had safty glasses save my eye. Too long to a story for here but you never know what might come flying thru the air in a steel mill or a construction site. I wear glasses all the time so they do not bother me. Just be safe out there, bad things can and do happen.

I made the handyman wear them yesterday.
Had a worker in the place a few years ago when there was an attic insulation upgrade project. Next thing you know, someone got something in their eye. I had plenty of sterile saline eyedrops at the time to help flush it out.

Good morning denizens of the diner. The same thing to do as yesterday morning. My daughter gets her rental. The car needs rear springs. I guess that road hazard was uglier than I thought.

Afterwords I am free for the rest of the week. Rain in the forecast today. And the old dog sleeps more.

Have a safe and good day.

Road Hazards can really mess up your ride. Glad it's just the car that needs repair.
Look at you with a half week off duty.

Why doesn't that surprise me.....

are we supposed to be surprised?

I'm so sorry, Miss K. These things do tend to cluster in waves. Can be overwhelming at times. I hope sunnier days are ahead for the whole team.

Way to go!! Win Column for sure

Sometimes, as I enjoy my morning coffee, all I want is to listen to the news without anyone commenting or complaining about it.

I can't even manage that most days when I'm the only one in the room!

It still makes me cringe when I think about it!

Nightmare inducing!!

I'm sure it is, but of the 3 ingredients for "Ants on a Log", you will only find Peanut Butter in my abode.
