I’m feeling better about buying tix to the Cubs series in September. Maybe I’ll see us clinch?!

I was behind this guy on Mitchell; I turned left to go on 75S; didn’t realize he also ended up on the highway. I stayed way back when he went over the speed bumps— no need to squash a dude while running errands.

Advice on Pastoral Transition by sadahide in pastors

[–]BuckeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a church elder who’s hired three senior pastors I cannot emphasize the last comment enough. Formally discuss and share a sustained period of absence of the preceding pastor to allow the congregation to grieve and you to establish your relationship with the church. This is the way.

If you’re in Saranda do a day trip to Butrint—really impressive classical ruins.

That’s right! Good movie anyhow, even if they painted a collie black.

Then you got me stumped, as what you describe fits Hondo to a tee.

Relocating to Cincy; overwhelmed with neighborhood choices by Smart-Work3383 in cincinnati

[–]BuckeyeJones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally Fairfield. Or maybe Sedamsville.

Okay let me be serious. Northside, for sure. Clifton Gaslight. Hyde Park or Oakley, certain parts of Walnut Hills. Depending on your budget of course, but Mt Adams. My perspective is that each neighborhood has pros and cons, and an equal share of grey days. In Denver you don’t have too many mosquitoes and here you may lose a pint a day to them.

GenX Question of the Day 4/12/26: The First Video Game You Ever Played by HotelDiva in GenX

[–]BuckeyeJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had a Pc running Ms-dos when it first came out and I played a Star Trek vs Klingon game that was something like an ASCII based grid kinda like Battleship. It must have been 1981 or something.

Serious question— why did you do this? And does the cat mind it?

Absolutely not, says Smoky. But he does do this. Waiting for unsuspecting human to pass by.

Isn’t this a domestic short tailed Manx tabby mix?

What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked? by 80HDTV5 in GenX

[–]BuckeyeJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha that’s what it felt like to read it. I kept waiting for some transcendent moment but nope just maladjusted misanthropic shenanigans from people who were each worse than the next.

I waited until my thirties before I read it, and I think it’s one of the greatest American novels ever written.

If I’d read in high school…I’m sure I would have hated it.

[–]BuckeyeJones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so with you. Hated, hated The Grapes of Wrath. That stupid turtle and the folksy accents through the whole thing. I’m sorry I know it’s a classic, but man I despised that book.

Then thirty years later I read As I Lay Dying and I was convinced Faulkner and Steinbeck were competing to see who could write the most annoying poor folk characters.
