Which of the three are you referring to!?

Which of the three are you referring to!?
“There’s that word again, ‘heavy.’ Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?”
Was at the San Francisco Public Library with da hubs, checking out DVDs/CDs, and on our way out saw a flyer for IIRC “Celluloid San Francisco” a presentation by the author of a new book about movies made here.
We figured “Why Not?” Walked in and was entertained for about an hour by a very personable speaker and tons of SF film facts!
Then they unexpectedly ushered the lot of us across the hall to a catered buffet lunch, meet and greet, and book signing (none of which was mentioned on the flyer).
We also went in slightly less higher than god…
So we proceeded to stuff our faces from a delicious buffet, chat up the author and thank him for an amazing presentation, and then left around 2:30 not having paid a penny for anything.
I read that last election he started campaigning the day after he lost. He’ll do the same thing this time just to keep the grift going.
Plus he’s had how many delays handed to him because he’s a political candidate? He’ll probably pass away as a political candidate just to keep those two things in his grasp.
Drugs: Never mentioned. There were anti-drug ads on TV 24/7.
Sex: Never mentioned. Well, by the time they got around to having “the talk” we asked them if they needed to know anything. Mom laughed, dad looked embarrassed, and that was that.
Etiquette expects that when you do a nice thing for someone you gain nothing more than a “Thank you” in return.
You can’t do “Pay-it-forward” as that places a burden on the recipient and your ‘gift given freely’ then becomes a task to them. Which is no gift at all!
If your parents are struggling to make ends meet at 77 then continue pressing the point and let them know why.
If they’re not let to go.
You’re good with tech and know they can save some money. If they don’t care about tech, and aren’t hurting for money, you’re just being annoying.
Had the same convo with my mom. That’s where the annoying line came from! She likes what she has and can afford it.
Now my sister ima boot in the head because she cancelled my mom’s landline for a cheaper cell plan. So now, oh…about 80% of the time I try to call mom her phone rings right into voicemail because she forgot to plug it in!
“Let’s face it: If you’re over the age of 50 ‘Healthy’ is just a pre-cancerous condition.” — Drew Hastings, Comedian
“Respect for the aged” day in Japan.
Wow did you miss the mark. Better luck next time!
Because the C+ List celebs won’t touch weird creepy Donald Trump!
“The Skin of Our Teeth” YouTube is a stage play by Thornton Wilder. It highlights humanity’s long and storied history of careening from one disaster to the next. Each time, surviving by…the titular title!
We’ll wait until the last minute, then we’ll literally redefine Heaven and Earth, as we move them, to save ourselves.
We always have, we always will.
So you can wait for that to happen, or you can start right now by getting involved in politics. Be the voice you want to hear, encourage people to vote for candidates that will support legislation to do something about it.
That’s literally the very old saying, “You can be part of the problem, or you can be part of the solution.”
The perfect Summer sammy, and one that’s surprisingly contested as actual food:
Summer Tomato Sandwiches
We had these growing up on really hot Summer days, the kind of day when it’s too hot to cook.
Here’s a Hot Take: Order from the place that hits your sweet spot between quality and price!
Chain stores are usually franchised so a lot of the money is still local.
Also branch out! I’ve discovered that a local Bar & Grill a few blocks away makes a freaking amazing pizza for about half the price of everyone else on town. It’s INSANE how good and cheap this pizza is!
A GoFund me page!
If that’s something you want to do and/or help manage for them, make sure to set it up in the one of their name(s) for tax purposes.
Self Destruction
I read somewhere that Biden beat Trump by 40K votes. In a country of over 300 MILLION people that’s a razor thin margin.
Your vote counts!
I also read this sobering fact recently: People in Germany that didn’t think they had to vote in 1932, didn’t get another chance to vote until 1946.
NSFW INCOMING…
I once saw a boner!
Was delivering pizza and after knocking on the door, and no one answered, I took a few steps back and looked around to see if anyone was at home. I saw two people on the couch in the living room, naked, face to face.
Well fuck! They’re home, but busy, and if I leave we lose a sale. So I knock again, a but louder.
Door opens a he’s standing there in the buck with a wet, raging, erection. I can smell the sex on him. “Yeah!?” he says…
Now I’m there, in uniform, holding a pizza delivery bag, and my running car is behind me with a big ol’ corporate pizza logo lit up.
“You ordered a pizza?”
“Oh yeah, right!” He hold out his hands.
“That’ll be $18…” He looks confused. “You have to pay for the food sir…”
Light bulb goes off. Weed smoke starts wafting out the door.
He looks down, laughs to himself and just turns around and walks away. Leaving the door open. I hope he’s going to find his wallet, so I stay there.
A few minutes later he returns to the open door, smelling strongly of weed and pussy, his dick now dripping wet. He hands me a $20, and waits for his change.
“Alright everyone, remember where we parked!”
Nothing beats a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza, so they get my vote!
