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

People will bullshit each other on a "5 for a 5" thing
Online ratings are next-level 🐂 :poop:

I check the percentages on 4+5 stars compared to 1+2 stars then read the 3-star reviews.

I feel the majority of everything else is just game playing crappola* at this point.

*fuck you, autocorrect. I wrote crappola not Coppola. Asshole!

Fuck a whole big buncha auto correct - and I hadda fuckin' fix that - and that. Motherfucker.


Basically, I am here long enough that I had to figure out the town, where I'm working, and what that needs to look like and where I need to be staying. And to find a repeatable formula. I've been fortunate.


Cats helped make the deal work, too.
 
I was glad to have had mah gun with me in case the situation arose....
Based on what happened today, I think I'm going to start carrying all the time. In our pissant little town never felt the need before today. But things are changing everywhere now. The young'uns not disciplined properly are getting out of control. But now they're big enough when shit goes down you can't just spank 'um.
Play adult games, win adult prizes.

Things are tough and just gettin' tougher
whole world is rough and just gettin' rougher . . .


and Springsteen. Who knew?


Still, these are Chinese Curse Times - interesting.
 
I'm with her. Fuck a fucking roof leak.


My opinion based on what I've done is, pay close attention to the AirBnB rating. People will bullshit each other on a "5 for a 5" thing. That said, some places are really good. You want to be over 4.95 because of the skew of the averages. Basically, a 4.8 is headed for Shithole Status.


I didn't pay attention once and wound up with a half-assed house in a kinda sketchy neighborhood half a block from a women's prison. Whereas I had no trouble, I was glad to have had mah gun with me in case the situation arose. It was around a 4.75 to 4.8. It shoulda been a 3 minus. I didn't rate her and she didn't rate me, either. We tacitly agreed that I wouldn't frag her and wouldn't be back.
I feel the same way. I didn’t rate then and they didn’t rate me.
 
Getting over an horrendous day yesterday. Walking in the forest with my family and my daughter’s dog got attacked by two alsatians that tried to kill it. He is a miniature dachshund so didn’t stand a chance. Got him to the vet and abdominal tearing but fortunately no organ or bone damage.

Waiting on the police getting back to me but guessing it’s not top of their list of priorities!

Daughter is traumatised and distraught. Fortunately her dog seems to be recovering, eating and drinking so fingers crossed!
I'm so glad he's recovering! What a horrible thing to do! Untrained and uncontrollable big dogs are dangerous. 🤬🤬🤬
 
Sorry to hear about that Grey. Hopefully the pup has a speedy recovery. Glad you were able to get to him before they could do too much damage.

We lost a cat like that to a neighbors 40lb bull terrier. He always chased the cat and he was always able to get away. We think he ambushed him while he was sleeping, as they were under the car fighting. I couldn’t get under it to separate them and the cat had been shook too much. I blame myself partly because he was an indoor kitty, then indoor/outdoor. We had had the conversation about moving him back in full time. He just loved being out in the garden with me, so I didn’t…

Beautiful picture, H!

So sorry about the kitty! 💔
 
So last night I made a reservation at a B&B that looked really nice in Western PA.

Looked nice enough… got 4.9 stars on some websites. 4.8 on others…

We arrive in the place looks a little bit dilapidated, and it was all self serve. There was not a host there, I was texted directions and how to get in. There were two cars there so I figured there be other guests.

When we get there, the place is like something out of the Addams family. It is dark, lots of dark wood, paneling. A billiards room with old school European wall coverings and paintings. Did I mention dark wood paneling? There were animal skulls on the walls. I wish I’d taken pics.

Altho two cars the house is completely empty! But water was leaking from the ceiling in one common area into a bucket. (At least it wasn’t blood!)

We find our room and it was nice enuf, but I could read Mrs wonderers body language. It read: there is no fuckin way I’m saying here. Over dinner I texted my sisters that if they never hear from us again - we were in Warren PA. 😂

So… we find a local place to have dinner and she was really upset. We made alternate reservations at a Hampton inn not too far away.

We went back to the house cuz we brought our bags in… there was still no one there… and from the outside our lights were turned on. We never turned them on. That was it!

Creepy!

We got our shit and got the fuck outta there. I actually thought it was cool and could have paid extra for the place!

The only thing missing was lurch the Butler opening the door for us and taking my hat!

Sorry the video is so quick and bad.
Complete with ancestor paintings on the hall walls! I'm with Mrs. W! No fucking way I would stay in a place like that! 😱😱
 
Morning all.

Feeling like one of those slow days again today. Weather/allergens are hitting pretty hard here again, probably the mold stuff.

Picking away on the last bag of apples from the first tree to ripen. We've run three batches through the small dehydrator. Not sure what else to do with them. Freezer is quickly filling up. A lot more apples coming in the next few weeks. I think we're going to try canning apple sauce this year. We normally freeze it, but it might be a worthwhile experiment.

Might start getting set up for cider pressing. When all the trees start producing it may be the only option to keep up with them!
Lucky problem to have! 🍏🍎
