I’m not advanced at all, but I’m not new to it either. I started maybe 20 years ago and I pick it back up sporadically. I mean I am seriously far, far away from civilization here. Toledo just discovered sushi, if that tells you anything. So if I want to do or learn anything, I’m on my own. Gotta be self-reliant out in the corn & beans.
YouTube is a godsend though. The only thing I can’t do by watching videos is lift heavy stuff and fix the car, and I probably could do some of the car stuff - put a stereo in? - but I refuse to. Ima drive those things till the wheels fall off and buy another lol.
Stols vs .the sperm donor's call. (Always an Olympic Event)
Sperm donor (SD) calls while drunk, possibly to blackout levels.
Stols doesn't comment.
SD asks about kid's recent activities.
Stols provides summary of recent activity.
SD asks about college.
Stols provides summary of college (which has been provided before).
SD says, but isn't he like 23? I mean, how old is he.
Stols thinks SD is asking me the kid's AGE? HUH? Stols notes to SD that kid turned 21 in June,.
SD notes kid's "lack of work history."
Stols recites kid's work history including the fact that all members of kid's family want him to not take the part-time jobs he is being offered but to continue applying for full time stuff for now.
SD is vaguely weird for a bit.
Stols opens up many tabs in her browser that contain beautiful shiny stuff.
SD asks if kid has changed his number, and can he have it.
Stols wonders to self whether this is merely a ploy, to get kid's number, or if SD was in a blackout the last 3 times she discussed it.
Stols gives up wondering and repeats the information again.
SD states, "Well, thank Goodness for your mother,"
Stols wonders quite what SD is implying, but decides not to ask. Stols agrees, "Well thank goodness for my mother."
SD asks stols to let the kid know he called, and that he wants to talk to him.
Stols states, "Okay, I will let the kid know that you called and that you'd like to talk to him. Although, I will mention that I have your phone number, SD, and have told the kid that I will keep it until he is ready for said number and/or will accompany your kid to your funeral."
Stols wonders if she should say anything at all to the kid, starts closing browser windows and thinks, "It's just never too early to start drinking..... Provided one can manage to accomplish it being a) not every day possible and b) not just carry over from the night before." Stols reminds self she is not capable of a) and b) and takes a quick look again at liquor flavorings.
Stols closes all browser windows, with a quick and heartfelt moment of sadness toward SD, as well as the knowledge that really, she should probably be feeling bad for herself AND the kid.
But, no shinyitis happened, so stols's winning streak continues!
LOL, I should have expected that call at some point, at least it was at a semi rational hour this time around. For me, anyway.

fermenting carolina reapers and smoked ghost chilis. cover your eyes folks and remind me to burp the jar.
not been around much. probably won't be for a bit.

@DeloresRose we need to push our limits to move them.
You don't need to wait hours before doing another set.
Do your usual max then wait 5 minutes and do as many as you have left in you.
It's actually better to do them while you're still warmed up. All you need is a short recovery to find more in you that you didn't have before the short "break".
That's why sets work. Max then recover then max again etc
45 pushups is awesome BTW

So, the good news is that my Vapor Range order with the Asmodus Colossal showed up today. The bad news is that they only sent the mod, not the kit, with the tank, that I paid for. I also bought a pack of coils for the Ohmie tank which are now useless to me since I don't have the tank. I have contacted them, so we'll see what happens. I assume some youngster just made a packing error. The mod is working pretty well though. I have my original Fireluke Mesh tank on it.
OH my god. Me and holidays and TEETH. I just lost ANOTHER implant in my upper denture on the same side of the first one. The oral surgeon said I'd be fine with 3, so apparently not.
Gosh darn it, it's labor day weekend, so I'm not even going to call. I still have PLENTY of denture adhesive so I just shoved some on the left side of my upper denture and I'm being gingerly about it.
However, it DOES speak to my fears about my bone getting degraded along with my teeth. NO ONE looses 2 implants while they're all in properly in like less than a year.
I really sincerely hope this doesn't mean that I wind up an old lady in a wheelchair with like, little range of movement along with eating baby food from a jar.
IDK, I suppose if it's a side effect in my mouth, it could be one in my overall BONES. I've been being so healthy lately too! Jesus. I hope it's another thing where the end just came off in my sleep and I swallowed it or something.
Fortunately, the bottom ones seem to be fine, those are the ones that matter most, but they don't really suffer the same gravity issues.
Me and health and long weekends. I give up though, I'm just defeated .I'll call on Tuesday and just Deal. Sigh. I might not even tell the husband as he'd probably freak.
Once I have reasonable insurance, I might well ask for a bone density test, although I really don't know if there's much I can do about it, because it's the lithium doing it, and like, I seriously don't have ANYTHING to replace it with, I've tried EVERTHING.
Sigh. This makes me want to smoke a cigarette but I'm going to try and ignore it, I'm doing yoga in 20 minutes. Grr.
Oh well. Here is where I want to whine and say, "Nothing's EVER easy for me." Only things ARE sometimes easy for me, so I can't even say THAT.
Still.

Good idea! I’m gonna try that! Thank you.
I did order a couple bubble tanks for my Zeus collection, because one came with the rainbow and I like it. Easier to fill. Other than the colossal, that’s all the holiday shopping I’ve done. So far. It’s not over till the fat lady sings. But I did look at everything from laptops to SUVs and nothing jumped out at me. That’s good I guess. And I did get my old laptop functioning well enough today, yay me, and loaded Open Office because I’m just tired of MS Words games.
In other news, I’m not terribly fluent in Twitter, but I’ve had an account for years in order to follow a writing group (and with the laptop up and running I’m starting to get some stories copied from paper and pen). So I recently started to follow *my show* Bosch and the writer and some of the cast. Every single time I’m on, I have a notification that Titus Welliver has liked my tweet or reply or has replied to or retweeted something I posted. Like two weeks solid. Every day. Not even sure how he sees what I’m doing, he’s not following me... must be some mutual friend or something. Anyway, makes my day. He can stalk me anytime.
Well now I have to.
E - Actually, I have. It was OK but nothing terribly special. IIRC, it had an odd doughy taste.
No prob. If you like Krispy Kreme, you can't go wrong with the Glazed, IMO. I was just thinking about that line recently when I ordered the two new flavors. I haven't had great luck with them considering how much I enjoy their Glazed. I've tried all but the cranberry one now and haven't found any of them much to my liking aside from Glazed and Smores after a long steep.Going to order some...thanks Tralfaz!!
This new Raspberry Eclair is good but I wouldn't call it legendary like Glazed. The new Chocolate Glazed does have legendary potential but I'm going to wait until I get to the bottom of the bottle before giving it my full evaluation.
"Baby, you make me wish I had three hands!"
I'm pretty much at a point where I am satisfied with what I currently use. Although Labor Day sales are tempting, I'm good for the present time.
Oh, look, a new mod!!!!
