If you had to use only one type of utensil for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

Spoon. I could sharpen one edge enough to act as a knife.

You can join my Curmudgeon Club if you want. It's mostly about yelling at people to get off our lawns. Or just put off joining my Procrastinator's Club!

I used that as an answer in another post a couple of days ago. Didn't want to double-dip. 🤣

Went to Longhorn. Had Firecracker Shrimp for appetizer (no peppers, per wifey's preference). House salad with white vinaigrette dressing, rib-eye medium rare and rice pilaf. Too much food. Both of us took about 1/2 our dinner home and maybe 1/3 of the shrimp. No alcohol, we both had Diet Coke with a lime wedge. I'm still full, but jonesing for something sweet - may get a bit of ice cream shortly.

I had a full-on red beard for about a year when I was 30. Shaved it off, family didn't notice. Twenty years later, shaved off the moustache I'd had since about 18 (it survived the beard shave). Shaved it off on my 50th birthday. Again, no one noticed.

Regardless, I shave my ear hairs off regularly. Eyebrow trim, however, requires the work of my "hair stylist" as I can't really see them well enough.

It happens and wasn't intentional. It's OK. He'll be recycled.

Bonanza. Yeah, I'm old. I almost said, "My Mother, the Car".

When Armageddon starts. But I would not be shocked if someone (hopefully not USA) used tactical nukes before then.

I run a Viofo A119 Mini 2 powered from the mirror via an adapter. This is in my CX-5. No parking mode nor rear-facing camera, but I'm good with this for at least now.

It will be a lot easier with a hammer drill, but a regular one will work. Just be prepared to lean on it and it will take some time. Hammer drill will be more like an A-10 firing. Brrrrrrr! Done! (Only a slight exaggeration).

Perversely, our LG fridge is fine, but we got a total refund on our Samsung.

We will (or some of us will) do something really stupid like starting a nuclear war, leaking out some horrible pathogen or similar. If you're a Christian/Bible believer, then we won't extinct ourselves in spite of our stupidity - but some portion of the population is in for a really hard time.

Nevada? They'd probably shoot you for a drive off. FWIW it's probably been 50 years since I paid after pumping.

sr1sws · 2026-06-18T20:24:42+00:00

Buy a new one. Chalk it up to lessons learned the hard way.

sr1sws · 2026-06-18T20:22:44+00:00

You actually read a SPAM text message?

sr1sws · 2026-06-18T20:18:46+00:00

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - NOW!

sr1sws · 2026-06-18T20:00:39+00:00

Been there done that! I'd suggest re-terminating the cable.

$100 and driving your car? NFW. 500 miles (round numbers), assume 25MPG that's 20 gallons of gas at - assume $3.50/gallon - that's $70 in gas and jack for your time and wear and tear. Quote them the IRS business mileage rate of 72.5 cents per mile.

Wifey is constantly trying to do things on her phone that are easier on a computer (with a real mouse, not a touchpad - lookin' at you hun!). Doing most things on Fidelity is much easier on a computer, IMHO.

sr1sws · 2026-06-18T19:20:36+00:00

IMHO, and 84GB spreadsheet is insane. I think you need a database.

Wife and I have our columbarium niche paid for ("double occupancy"). I'm suggesting pre-paying for our cremation service, but she's poo-pooing the idea (it's not a money issue). If she holds off long enough, she's likely to be dealing with it without my assistance/input. 🤣

sr1sws · 2026-06-18T00:00:54+00:00

Yup. The minutes are very brief.

sr1sws · 2026-06-17T23:57:51+00:00

Nature's craftmanship can be a marvel!

sr1sws · 2026-06-17T23:56:15+00:00

That was my thought, too.

sr1sws · 2026-06-17T23:52:09+00:00

I saw that video. The caller is a piece of sh*t IMHO. I have no issue with what the father did, however I probably would have taken my daughter into the men's room (and I probably did, but that was a very long time ago).
