My new misdirected email was because some guy in South Carolina with my name uses my email address as the ID for his customer rewards account with Tractor Supply Company.

I just gave a 5 star rating to the American Farm Works 0.7 Joule 15-Mile AC-Powered Low Impedance Electric Fence Charger.

I am sure it is a quality product and feel confident in my decision.

Three days in a row I haven’t faced the anxiety of . Feels pretty good actually, I may have hit my limit. I’m also proud I ran with LIGER as my starting word for many months and even got some solved puzzles on the second guess with it.

@Axomamma trying to get away with the game obsession actually, been on the wordle train since it was a couple weeks old, and I play that as well as 4 other similar games daily with some friends in our Slack instance (NYT Strands and Connections, Worldle, and Framed, with NYT Flashback on the weekend). My problem is as soon as the clock strikes midnight I try to knock em all off before bed. I need just stop for awhile.

I haven’t tried to edit a page since June. Why did they do this? I can’t find anything in my account. Three years? That’s stupid.

Weird, I'm blocked on my mobile browser, I can edit on my laptop. Logged out of mobile Safari, cleaned cookies, logged back in and still blocked, sharing the same IP address as my desktop browser. This is an outrage! I am contacting Jiminy Whales ASAP.

Doris Day in Hitchcock’s “The Man Who Knew Too Much” was the most adorable thing. 😍

Saddened to find is not really a popular hashtag.

They heard the bath water being drawn so they’re huddling and shaking in fear. Look at the worry!

Donating a lot of the Munchkin’s childhood books as I start packing but no way am I getting rid of this.

A tram hit a truck on the main road near us, and the largest tow truck I've ever seen in my entire life showed up to take the truck away.

News Item: 'New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."'

Expect this next:

“You may be wondering why I, Satya Nadella, am emailing you like this. Well boy, I have some bad news for you. I can see you like some spicy websites! And my, how you pleasure yourself, I don’t think you want your friends and family to know about this, so we have a plan for you, just listen…”

Had no idea the Cirque du Soleil/Beatles LOVE show was going to close. They announced it in April shortly after we were in Vegas in early March. I wanted to finally get tickets but thought "I'll do it next trip." 😔

"In a short statement to KOIN 6 News, PGE officials said they “will continue to be fully engaged in the rate review process administered by the Oregon Public Utility Commission.“'

Utter horseshit. The freezes we had this winter coupled with the existing hikes was a budgeting disaster here when the bills came around.

Mark Knopfler has a song on his new album called Tunnel 13 which is an ode to a train robbery attempt in Oregon in 1923 in which 4 innocent railway workers were killed. #oregon #OregonHistory

I love how absolutely none of the biz articles about Led Robster mention the private equity shenanigans.

On the bright side: time for a Long John Silver's rebirth! Ahoy!

No one records voicemail greetings any more, to the point where I don't know if I am calling a scammer or not.

FatCat & SkinnyCat, 1995, in my Vancouver Washington duplex rental. I got them as kittens in San Jose, 1986. Lost SkinnyCat to lymphoma cancer, 1999, 13 years; FatCat in 2004 at 18 years. Rare female orange tabbies, they are usually male. I can trace the lineage of my pets who knew each other back to these two, there was never a break of no pets. Simba was the link from FatCat (who I got in 2001) all the way to Beanie, current dog- I lost Simba in 2021.

@moucri that's a perfect connection then! And even when they aren't that's ok of course. Every time I have gotten a young pet I think "Do I want to do this again? Don't I need a break?" and I usually need it, but I give in anyway.
