That’s the new sign I literally stuck on my front door. I’m getting tired of telling these people I don’t own the place or am not interested in their product or service. But I do feel for those folks and admire the hustle. To go door to door in that heat is no easy task. I just wish they could find something better.
Post-divorce, every Father’s Day has been way different in all sorts of ways. The only hing I asked of the kids this year was that they watch a movie with me. The movie I chose was Airplane!. I chose a version that I recorded which aired on one of the channels just so we could avoid some of the nudity and other mature elements.
Seen at the Chris Stapleton/Tedeschi Trucks Band concert this weekend by a WFAA meteorologist. How do people and families afford to DO anything together anymore?
Men who look like rodents are apparently attractive in today’s world. In high school, one of my closest friends was called “Rat” a few times, and he hated it. I should send him this article.
There probably won’t be hardly any posts this week; I just wanted to give you a heads-up.
One common thing I’ve found in online dating is that a lot of women in my age group do a lot of projecting the things they are struggling with onto you. I told one girl I could tell by her lack of engagement over the past several days, which clearly indicated she was no longer interested in me, so I want to thank her for her time and move on. She blows her top, saying she doesn’t need a co-dependent man who demands she report twice an hour. Sheesh. Hey, that’s not what happened. You stopped reaching out to me, so when I reached out to you, all I basically got was one-word answers. I tried ending things on a high road, but she took the low road, flipping me the bird with both hands.
I was reading a Reddit thread about what current-day actor could pull off a good version of an Adam West Batman. I thought that was quite an entertaining question. Some actors mentioned were Will Arnet, John Hamm, Michael Keaton, Rain Wilson, Steve Carrell, and Jack Black. Each would bring something different, and yes, I know some have already played a goofy version in a skit or movie.
At a recent event, Trump challenged Biden to a cognitive test. He then boasted about how well he did on one performed by doctor, now Congressman Ronny Jackson, who was in the crowd. But Trump kept referring to him as Johnson, not Jackson, which isn’t a sign of strong cognition, something he was boasting about not even a minute earlier. It seriously sounds like a SNL skit but it really happened. Man, we live in an interesting world.
This is not what the aTm Aggies have in mind when they hype up the 12th man talk. Hey, all sports fandoms have their bad seeds. But I was disappointed in all the Aggies I followed on Twitter/X claiming they were students from another school who chose to wear Aggie clothing to try to purposely make the school look bad. This is the second time this month, I do believe, the Aggie coach had to start a press conference by addressing the behavior of fans in the stands. This is another reason why I can’t stand college sports and will take the professional game any day of the week. One team in the Deep South poisoned another school’s beloved old tree. The carcass of the opposing team’s mascot is found in student housing at Oklahoma State. When it comes to college sports, people get too cultish. Fans of professional teams are bat-crap crazy at times, but college folks partake of an entirely different belief system. One of which was a cause of my divorce, all because of the workshop of false idols. And let’s face it, with NIL and the NCAA now allowing colleges and universities to literally pay players to play, the college football you were desperately trying to hold on to changed before your eyes. That beloved version died somewhere in the mid-Eighties.

Serrao said in a post shared widely on social media that when he dug into his dessert, he felt something unusual in his mouth and spat out what appeared to be a portion of a human finger about an inch long. He shared a video that he said showed the alleged body part sticking out of his melting cone.
Seth Myers was being interviewed and mentioned how he doesn’t like having a December 28 birthday. He referred to that week between Christmas and New Year’s Day as “holiday taint.”
Each member, according to the company, will have a team of coaches. These coaches will guide members through three 60-minute training sessions per week, two nutrition coaching sessions per month, two sleep coaching sessions per month — and one massage therapy session per month. Experts will use more than 100 biomarkers to assess hormone balance, critical nutrients, metabolic condition, organ health and other risk factors. Also, lab tests will be performed every six months to track changes and improvements.
This Dallas Morning News article about tennis and pickle ball players fighting over real estate at a park was more entertaining and informative than I thought.
Players rotate in by putting their paddles in a rack and watching for their turn. Socializing during the wait is part of the fun — up to a point. As many as 100 players flock to Cole on weekend mornings and after work. The wait can be 45 minutes to an hour for one quick game.
Wells Fargo, in a new disclosure with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, first reported by Bloomberg, had terminated over a dozen employees in its wealth- and investment-management unit for their use of mouse jigglers. They were “discharged after review of allegations involving simulation of keyboard activity creating the impression of active work,” according to the disclosures. On Amazon, some of the top-ranking mouse jigglers sold have thousands of reviews and range in price between $6 and $25.

I was shocked to learn that our nation’s first Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, died by suicide from fatal injuries sustained after falling out of a sixteenth-floor window at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
I never thought I’d be that person who found out he was subscribed to a service and did not know about it for months, maybe even years, and not notice it. But here I am eating some humble pie. One of the kids subscribed to Amazon Music, and I never looked at my account statements or history closely enough. Well, at least I caught it now and not later.
So, an iPhone user will be able to access ChatGPT right from Siri. I’m a big fan of ChatGPT and use it almost daily, and when I do, it’s usually for a good length of time. I wonder if this is the thing that finally converts me to owning an iPhone.
It’s funny. Throughout high school and most of college, I was a loyal Mac user, much to the chagrin of my computer expert and Windows-using brother. It was a real challenge owning one or the other back then. For one, it was a big cost decision, and I’d argue a decent computer at that time would have cost around $1400. However, the big obstacle, unlike today, was that commonly used files like Word or PowerPoint (PDFs weren’t even a thing) weren’t cross-platform. What I mean by that is that if you created a Word file on a Mac, you couldn’t open it on your PC, or vice-versa. There were some instances where special programs would do that, but it was in its early stages, and you were taking the risk of losing a lot of work or only a portion of your work correctly crossing over. Once the internet became popular and your most well-used software started to work on both Windows and Mac (iOS wasn’t even a thing), that’s when sales and the adoption of Apple computers really took off. All of this started when Steve Jobs took over the reins of Apple in 1997. All that to say, if I had stayed loyal for maybe three or four more years, I don’t think I would have ever dabbled into anything Windows or Android-related. As of now, I feel so set in my ways that I don’t think I’ll ever buy an iPhone or a Mac. However, this collaboration with ChatGPT could change that.
If the Mavs don’t win tonight, they are toast. I’m actually going to be watching the game with a lovely lady I’ve been chatting with. We’re making it our first date. It’s crazy the stuff we have in common. Even our unusual professional careers have taken the same path.
I’ve looked at many sources for this story. They all imply the dog did something specific to alert other humans. All the dog did was run back home, and people noticed he was injured. I wish there was more to it than that, but that’s basically it. This isn’t a Lassie movie. Speaking of Lassie, I was more of a Benji person.
