I may have mentioned this before, but my best friend consumes no news. Zero. Not from TV, radio, internet news sites, newspapers… she doesn’t use social media. The other day she asked who the Prime Minister is right now. I reminded her that this a basic piece of information medics check you can remember to see if you may have a brain injury. I don’t know if I’m appalled by or envious of her stance. It’s a conscious decision, and she says it brings her happiness

Didn't your country burn through a few prime ministers in a short time? It might be hard to keep up.

I think your friends blissfully unaware approach is probably less stressful. We have an election in November and neither option is a winner.

Bring back Lawn Darts.

It’s time to thin the herd.

@Mrfunkedude
We had lawn darts when I was a kid, none of us got hurt. There were also three wheelers of which I had 4, from a 50 to a 250. Death toys and machines can be fun when used responsibly.

When the weather’s like this and we sit out on the patio in the evening, looking out at the grass and trees and flowerbeds, I can hardly believe my good fortune. I really am living the dream I had when we lived in a second floor London with a tiny balcony overlooking a muddy service road and other people’s gardens, which we could only look at then with rank envy.

It does sound nice! Having green space is important, IMO.

I'm dreading the mowing later. It's currently 90°F(32°C) with 50% humidity here.

FTR, my hairdresser says she is absolutely sick of having the same conversations over and over again (although she actually does like talking about holidays, travel is very important to her, and we also both love to talk about cats)

During the cold months (October-February) I get my beard trimmed by a shop called Twisted Blade. It's run by what I would call "biker chicks" they all ride Harley motorcycles with their husband's on the weekend. We have fabulous conversations about all kinds of stuff. I don't have to have a conversation but usually enjoy the time.

We ended up outside of Waterloo, Illinois earlier today, where I captured this picture. I can't decide if I like it or not... The sky looked picturesque, but the tree line is dim from the clouds. IDK 🤷🏼‍♂️

Is everyone having a good day so far? Mine's been fine, I've got one more store to hit, and then I'm rolling up a number and listening to music. 🎶

That's great! There's nothing wrong with quiet but completely well.

Well I was going to go take a nap this morning to make up for the hour of sleep I lost, but seeing as a moving truck has pulled up behind my bedroom window, I don't think the nap is going to happen any time soon.

That sucks.

Worst window screen replacement crew I've hired! They just lay around on the job.

Due to crippling laziness conditions, we've had a three cat pile up.

Apparently, Mr Minx is training to replace the MGM lion as well.

Good morning friends! Hopefully it's a good weekend ahead.

I said screw it and used 4 of my 160 hours of vacation to take a half day. Things were slow and idle hands and what not... I was just walking around talking to people. Nice to kick off the weekend early.

Work is where I am, but luckily, it's Friday.

It's a TV in bed kind of evening. Pixie and Mr Minx claimed the middle.

Mr Minx is a bit blurry because he's cleaning Pixie.

Something that they never tell you when you get a cat...

Their farts are worse then dogs.

OMG WHY DON'T I OWN NOSE PLUGS??? I'M PNICHING MY NOSE! HOW IS IT STILL GETTING THROUGH!?!?!

You're definitely right there. Mr Minx smells like a fisherman's knuckle, but what else would he smell like? I feed him ground up seafood, trout, and some turkey and chicken.

@That_One_Guy@mastodon.world avatar

I just saw "Matrix 5" is in the works. When will Hollywood start producing new content instead of rebooting, remaking, or putting out the 5-10th installment of existing movies over and over again. Same goes for TV IMO.

I'm reminded of a bit from "The Simpsons" about Charles Bronson in "Death Wish 9."

I don't mind continuing a story if done correctly but retelling the same story 5 different ways gets old.

@That_One_Guy@mastodon.world avatar

Tesla was selling $700 sledgehammers that can't actually be used for its intended purposes to break stuff. You can display it or use it in the gym. 🙄 I say it was because it's currently sold out. I bought my sledgehammer from Ace Hardware for about $660 less than the Cyberhammer, and it can actually break concrete, be displayed, and used in the gym. 😉

I'm standing by to possibly break up a literal and figurative cat fight. These two ladies barely get along on the best of days, even Whiskers Wednesday.

Anyone else hate the feeling of putting socks on when your feet are still drying from the shower? Like, they aren't wet, but they aren't exactly dry either?

I'm currently trying to weasel out of a project I really don't want to be involved in.

According to The Simpsons, "Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals... Except the weasel." 😉

Thanks for letting me know it's only a Tuesday. I briefly thought I was in hell.
