Almost had a heart attack when I searched on the other website for our cruise roll call. There's a Baptist Church that is sailing on the same exact dates that has a roll call.

I have nothing against religion, I just really don't want to end up on a themed cruise by accident.

 

Speaking of a 'themed cruise' how'd ya like to find yourself on the NCL Pearl Feb 03 -Feb 14, 2025 for the Big Nude Boat. Yep, a nude cruise! It was on the news last night and the news readers were aghast...as was I.

Our house has been on the market for 3 weeks. We only had one showing in all that time but they made an offer. $35,000 less than asking. They want us to pay all closing fees. 

If you decide to counter I'd stipulate the home is being sold AsIs and you won't be paying for any 'fixes' that might show up after the home inspection.

 Chaka has already defiled the bathroom floor, so it's just another average week here.

Here's a thought...remember when you had a little puppy and to train them not to piddle on the floor you'd rub their nose in it....

Not for me, but they are currently doing the exact same thing to my neighbour. .

Happy for you. I thought they might try to mess with you again after you showed them whose boss.

Bar and kid crap - that's my jam! 

Just curious. After last year's S**T show about your monthly rent did they try to raise it again this year?

 ... there's a big "design" conference going on here at our building, so they've restricted our abilities to use the freight elevator or take carts into the hallways. That means literally carrying two hundred pound rugs up or down three flights of stairs if we need to load or unload customers or deliveries.

If it comes to that just hook Chaka up to a dolly and whip him like a rented mule.

The office I work for mailed me a large envelope of work about 3 weeks ago, and it still has not arrived.  This is a 10" x 13" envelope that can't easily get stuck in with someone else's mail, so who knows where it went.

The X files?

The problem with the exotic locations is they use the same one twice a year now. And it doesn't sound like they plan to change that. They go to the same place and film back to back seasons in the summer and that's how they like to do it now.

They need to tighten it up. 90 minutes is to long with the majority spent on everyone strategizing. They should have two challenges per hour. One reward & one for immunity. I believe the producers are just chasing the dollar. Only having one challenge instead of two reduces their out of pocket expenses. The extra 30 minutes also gives them additional revenue from more commercials. They've just gotten lazy assuming their local audience will put up with it...until they won't!

Wow I guess I live under a rock. While I do own a DVD player it serves no purpose other than collecting dust since I didn't own any DVDs.

I've mentioned this before but you can check out DVD's from the library for free. You can even reserve newly released ones or request one and they will transfer them from another library if they don't have it. Actually buying them is a foolish endeavor.

I know the eclipse took up a ton of air time these past few days but it won't hold a candle to the next life changing event. Taylor Swift releases new new opus on April 19th! There will be nowhere to hide and no special glasses will save you from the blinding light this time.

I guess something's sort of wrong with me, because there's no way I'd travel to see the eclipse. Maybe enthusiasm wanes in some folks with age.

Nothing wrong with you. It's like traveling to Mt Rushmore or Niagara Falls. After one minute you'll ask yourself..Okay, now what!?

I guess the stuff wasn't defective afterwards. But, not nearly what I was expecting, AND the stuff I drank didn't taste bad at all...

 

 

 

Let's all sing it together...'Call Roto-Rooter, that's the name and away go troubles down the drain. Roto-Rooter Roto-Rooter'.

There is more to the story…

Sitting in Atrium with DS this morning at a game show and who should walk over but 18 year old buddy with his PARENTS!!!!! He proceeded to introduce us (at least he has impeccable manners). I swear I do not recall telling him my name and I honestly had no idea of his, so it was…awkward. He wasn’t phased in the least.

Perhaps his "parents" sent him out on an scouting expedition. You should swing by their cabin door to see if there are any upside down pineapples.

To compound my frustrations, Chaka is in one of his idiotic moods this morning. We were trying to get some of the pile of sold rugs stored in the back, but instead of straightening up and making room in the back FIRST, he decides to bring everything to the back all at once. Now there's not even room to move back there, and you can't arrange anything because it's so full. So, now he decides that some of it needs to come out first.

 

Have a Tee shirt made for him with the word IGNORAMUS blazened across the front. Then tell him it's a Dutch word for a sexy guy.

9:08 and it's still just me and the big boss here at work this morning... I guess I can predict what kind of day it's going to be today...

For some the first five days after the weekend are the hardest.

As I recall one of the owners at Rugs R Us had one of those. Are you saying your buddy you are staying with got one too?

I agree I thought the "free" food looked less than appetizing this week.

Perhaps the Big Boss shifted some of the free lunch money towards some break room La z-Boy recliners for the staff.

Costco had American Wagyu corn beef for $8.98/lb. I submerged it in a can of Guinness

in the crock pot and it came out pretty great. I roasted the carrots, Yukon golds & cabbage separately in the toaster oven.

Thanks to liquid IV (what a lifesaver!), I felt pretty good this morning. 

 

Curious when you downed the Liquid IV. Before you started drinking that evening or in the morning after you woke up?

I also booked my hotel for the Horizon cruise coming up around Memorial Day, and ended up back at the CitizenM Brickell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know you said your last cruise would be your final Live but might you do a 'cliff notes' version for some of this one?

I'm listening to Music Choice channel on the telly and I have the Pop Hits channel on and there's this lady singing a country song and she looks just like Beyonce!!

Bouncy made a country album...you know, to appeal to all her country music fans.

The meatloaf looks burnt??

I'm sure once Sid adds his homemade recipe of Sriracha, jet fuel & a pinch of salt no one would notice.
