Bag of Randomness for Monday, April 3, 2023

  • Whenever I have to type “colonel” I always have to look up the spelling.
  • BoyGeeding likes to play a game when he sees restaurant signs. He renames the establishment using what he thinks is the complete opposite. So, when he sees “Whataburger” he calls it “Dry Soup”. Yeah, we both know it’s not “Waterburger” but that’s how most people say it.
  • The silver lining for Trump is that he’s going to make so much money and get so much attention from this indictment. If there are two things he loves, it’s money and attention. The indictment is almost a wish come true for him.
  • I love watching Stephen Colbert. He’s a devout Catholic and has taught Sunday school. It appears he’s madly in love with his wife, who is Presbyterian. I never thought about what it would be like to date or marry someone who prefers to go to church separately, but I’d be open to it.
  • The Bible Challenged in Utah for Explicit Sexual Content
  • A California girl’s pet goat is feared to have been slaughtered and served at a community barbecue, a lawsuit claims.
  • I found this story using my dummy account on The Facebook. Here’s a video about him and here’s an article.
  • Speaking of The Facebook (yes, I know it’s just “Facebook” but I like calling it by its original name to sound goofy), I gave The Facebook Market Place a try. I must have undercut myself. Within two hours of posting my couch (a sleeper sofa), I had five inquires and sold it that day. The guy who bought it looked just like Uncle Jesse on the “Dukes of Hazzard.” He was trying to move it by himself, almost ripping his overalls several times. So, I had to help if I wanted it out, but I was trying to avoid doing so with my back problems and all. Now I’ve put a nicer piece of furniture online, a recliner. I must be asking too much this time around because there’s been no dice.
  • I decided to buy a new sofa for several reasons. Sure, I wanted one that reclines because it’s more functional for my small living room, but I also sold it because I’m looking to have a fresh start. So, I’m getting rid of things I have an emotional attachment to.
  • I want a new career, something in which I help people, something that makes me feel fulfilled, something that I think I’m good at. But, I feel I’m stuck in my career until the kids graduate. My father told me not to wish my time away, but the next six years are gonna go by slow. But then again, I like the saying, “The days are long, but years are fast.” There’s truth in that.
  • The good news is the ex is actually starting to co-parent instead of parallel parenting.  She’s been friendlier and kinder as of late, but still refuses to talk about the divorce. I have to learn to be content that that conversation is never going to happen. Other than some of the obvious questions, I want to ask her why does she thinks the children don’t deserve to have both parents in their lives equally? If she answers that, that will give me some understanding on how she prefers to co-parent.
  • “I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.” – Bob Newhart
  • People commit suicide and people go, “I don’t understand why?’” And I go “you don’t? What do you live in a cotton-candy house or something? WTF? – Norm Macdonald
