Not me - I was a Crap Magnet

If there was a kid kicking a seat or some asshole on their phone or an elderly person whose hearing aid battery died? I was inevitably sitting within 3 seats of them... always.

So I like movies but not the movie theater experience :LOL:
I can't remember the last time I was in a movie theater. Because my husband was hearing impaired and we couldn't be sure they had the type of equipment he needed, we just watched movies at home. He put a surround sound system in the family room, aka his man cave. So much more comfortable and we could have our own snacks!
 
Up. Slept okay. Still could stand to roll back over and go back to sleep like Ethyl would. Yeah.


I scheduled 6 city inspections yesterday. I got three, two called to postpone until today, and one never called nor showed. :mad: I did pass the three that came out, no issues. Fuckin' city.
😍 was for you passing all your inspections! Because, of course you did!

The person who was a no-call no-show is a jerk! 🤬🤬
 
Ah yes…HumpDay…as always…I command thee to go have fun! Let it be said…let it be done!

Except for me.🥲. I get at least 4 hrs in the hospital today. Momma has not one but two MRI’s😮😫. Seriously. They can’t seem to nail down the source of her pain, so, two MRI’s. Ugh…I don’t know how she’s going to do it.

I think I’ve relayed the story of how I had an MRI and found out I was claustrophobic 😮🤣

Oktoberfest…the end nears…yer MZ——

How did Momma do? Did they find the source of her pain?

I'm with you on the MRIs. I even freaked out on an "open" one. 😤
 
I've been using a Chromebook for several years now and I kinda like the whole thing. Cheaper'n an Apple thingie and less buggy than a PC.
I bought a new laptop early this year because I was afraid my old 2007 one was about to go out on me. It has Win 11 Home, which I'm still getting used to. I'm on my tablet more than the computer.
 
Hiya spooners, gooners, lunars, mooners, crooners and pruners.

It’s Thursday.

The missus and I are gonna see the Raveonettes tonite in Asbury Park. Sharon Foo from the band is one of my many rock n roll crushes and I believe she is one of my celebrity hall passes from Mrs wonderer ….

So I’ll let yaz know if I get lucky tonite!

I think she is half danish and half Chinese. She is 100% hot.

A little bit rockabilly. A little bit paychobilly.


So did you? Get lucky, that is! 🤭🤭
 
Yeah, that’s an oldie but a goodie!

The hurricane made the turn and headed out towards Bermuda. Never heard if caught anything from it but I think it was only a Cat 1 and moving at a normal clip. We had some rain, heavy at times, but not like the bands we usually see with hurricane activity. Hardly any wind inland and oddly it cooled things down? Usually after a hurricane rips through it’s muggy.

We all faired well! Thanks for asking!😘. I guess I should dial up REO Speedwagon’s Riding The Storm Out! 🙃
I'm glad you were spared this time!

Those beer ladies are so STRONG!

Here's your song!

 
TDK would be on me right about now, or at least all up in my grill.


The meeting was okay. Wat had lots of little old ladies to charm. He'll end up with a dozen girlfriends before all is said and done. One volunteered to cook for him and the other wanted him to check out all of her thousands of books. Meanwhile, got a bit of facetime with the PM. It seems that Wat's replacement at the former job . . . isn't. Allah knows that they're doing over there, but ain't much getting done. If Wat has to go back . . . .
So you got a, "Want to come in and see my books?" And a, "Can I make dinner for you?" 😉😉😅
 
A Grouch Off? 😍
I don't think there's been a Grouch Off since @ 1990! Start warming up those vocal cords y'all!!

I need a Wationary... does your bookseller have one? :unsure:
Thanks for clarifying - I was... concerned

I get dizzy and can't tell my up from my down
🤬 annoying!

Is this a Cabana Boy Application?
IYKYK

Kicked butt? That's a 🤬 trounce!
Wationary! 🤣🤣🤣
 
No weddings but
Two funerals
And a hospital visit

That was my Friday night and Saturday. It’s been a tough couple days.

Small world backstory. In a prior life, the company I worked for used a metal polisher and plating company as a vendor. The owner was a character and his shop was in a very rough part of Newark. He hired ex cons, outcasts, people down on their luck and two bikers named Tiny and Sonny. They were in a club called Heavy Metal MC. I think they were affiliated with The Pagans.

The owner was a character. I wouldn’t have thought of that company again really, but a good friend at works wife’s father was the owner. Small world!

So I kept tabs on Gene thru my friend at work. And he passed away last week. So I got to pay my respects to him and the family at a viewing on Friday night. My friends’ wife really loved some of the colorful stories we had abt her dad! And there were many!

Saturday morning, i visited my friend in rehab. He has bad MS and had a super bad flare up 10 days ago. His right leg is basically deadweight. He lost most use of his right arm and hand. But I was glad to see him and make him laugh. Brought a few books for him. Just hoping he can regain some use of his limbs and get back home.

Went from there and met my wife at the local small airport where they had a really nice memorial for my buddy who passed away last week in a small airplane crash. A number of people eulogized him including me. He touched a lot of people and was a great man. He will be missed dearly. Mrs wonderer and his wife are very close friends.

I had to take some cherry wood to the local sawmill to get sliced up into 3” boards. It was a good distraction. Big 20-25” diameter logs.

And last nite we had a small fire and drank some beer.


Hugs for you, Wonderer! 🫂🫂🫂
 
I woke up with a touch of a hangover, but it sure was fun building it!
The first annual Moonshine Festival was a blast!
The turnout was a bit light, as it overlapped with Bikes, Blues, and BBQ (which has evolved into the 2nd biggest biker rally in the US) but we met some really good quality people!
There were some really great musicians as well!
Sounds like fun!
