At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

Well... that's it... just got the call... officially an orphan... they're gonna call the funeral home my family has always used for me... head is spinning... heart is broken.

I don't even really know what's next. I guess life insurance stuff. I think I remember the funeral home helping with that.
My mom is currently in the hospital on comfort care... which means I'm about to be an orphan. Even when you know it's a fate that awaits us all and we all just assume we'll outlive our parents, this just... this sucks.

I have a million thoughts running through my head and no idea what to do.

Does anybody have one of those extended service warranty deals on their car... like Endurance? Car Shield?

Are you happy with it? Is it worth the money? What does it *really* cost?

Black Friday prices are really just what things should cost on an average Tuesday in June. They gouge consumers all year long, then act like they're doing us a favor by slashing prices right before Christmas so we can "afford" to buy people we barely like things they definitely don't need.

Still some distance from being able to cover the full cost, but I can't thank those of you who have chipped in and shared this enough.

You really have helped more than you can imagine, just by pitching in to make sure this is *one* thing I don't have to worry about right now.

I was so over it last night after I ate, I just left the noodles & mashed potatoes in the pans and put the pans in the fridge. That's beyond lazy. I'm super lazy and I've never done that shit in my life. The worst part? Got leftovers out a little while ago... put the pans back in the fridge.

Abbott Elementary is one of the funniest shows on TV. If you're not watching it, there's something wrong with you.

He just found out members of his regime are signing stuff with the AutoPen and he wants to lay the groundwork to make sure he's not held criminally responsible for any of it, because all of it will likely turn out to be criminal.

Never forget every accusation is a confession with him.
It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

And if we've already talked about this, you don't necessarily need to reply again with your city. You're welcome to... so feel free. But if we've talked about it already, there's a pretty good chance I've already saved a post from you that says where you are anyway.

I'm not sure why they're even bothering to rotate through all the counties that are currently under a Winter Storm Warning. I'm pretty sure it's all of us. Like, Indiana is under a Winter Storm Warning through... you know what, I just realized I haven't even looked... I don't think I wanna know.

BWAHAHAHA! No one who'd ever allow ChatGPT to speak for them in the first place would ever in a million years consider doing this. The whole point of doing it is to make themselves seem more intelligent and knowledgeable than they are.
A message to people who use ChatGPT to compose essays for publishing on various internet platforms: you include that AI as co-author instead of pretending it’s your own work.

I'mma end up making a shared Google Calendar to get a handle on the logistics for this trip. For now, just reply with the city you live in if you're interested in having me visit.

I'm saving all those posts and when I get to the point that I'm ready to post the calendar, I'll tag everyone.

I'm not being facetious. I'm serious. If you're up to have me visit for a night or two sometime this summer, reply to this & let me know what city you live in. I'm gonna start making a list.

This is gonna be a logistic lift, so I need to start planning. And the planning will keep me going.

I have closed captions turned on almost all the time. It's one way I trick myself into paying attention to what I'm watching sometimes, because if there are words on the screen, my brain will automatically read them.

The exception is during football games. Too delayed... too distracting.

I'm thinking that when I set off on my trip, maybe I'll join Planet Fitness. That way even if I decide to camp for a few nights or whatever, I'll have relatively easy access to workout facilities & showers & such no matter where I am.

They have those pretty much everywhere... right?

There are magnificent idiots out there who will call this socialism. It's not socialism. It's simply providing for the general welfare... a constitutional principle. It's reinvesting tax dollars in public works projects that improve reality for everyone. It's not socialism. It's just smart.

I really forgot what a rough start ol' cutie patootie Sam Seaborn got off to in the pilot of this show. The poor bastard really did have one of those "anything that can go wrong did go wrong" sort of days.

This Native American Heritage Day, we honor the hundreds of generations of Native peoples who called this land home long before we did.

We celebrate their history, their culture and their leadership that continues to this day.

I just put The Pitt in my queue, but I'm not gonna watch it yet. I do not want there to be a psychological connection between the way I feel right now and Noah Wyle that I later have to work through, just so I can watch stuff he's in without it making me sad about my mom. No need for all that.

I suspect they'll recycle this commercial and make it seem as though it's referencing Christmas for the rest of the year. It's a little bit crazy that we do these meals less than a month apart. Unbelievable the people planning & cooking these meals don't lose it & kill everyone on the regular.
