Came across this headline today. How in the hell do people get so obese? She lost weight equivalent to almost two of me. Yuck. This is from that goofy Honey Boo Boo show, which thankfully I've never watched. Mama June Shannon Admits 'I've Gained a Few Pounds' After Dropping 300 Lbs. in From...

I remember listening to his comedy albums, early '70s, I was maybe 13-14. They were very good, of course my sense of humor was a bit different that long ago.

We've started to get roundabouts installed here. So simple to just follow the rules. First time I used one, this blond woman turns left and almost hits me. There are arrows everywhere telling you which way to go. Ugh...... Stupid drivers all over, be careful.

Love that show, still watching repeats. Had no idea she was from Texas, she pulls off the accent beautifully. Not being from that area, sounds totally realistic to me. Had some dealings with New Yorkers, and other "Northeast people", etc. Strange voices and really bad attitudes. :rolleyes:

Reminds me of why updates to computers, my DISH receiver, etc. always have that "Please don't unplug, power-off..." :D Just teasing, you're stuck in midlife just like me :rolleyes: Have a part-time day job this weekend, Surprisingly computer nerds are still in demand, and they actually think I...

Wow, this Canadian stuff is so odd. I live in Washington, not that far away Been to Canada many times, but obviously a very different culture I've not come across :P Way, way off topic, but have to mention it. Last time I was in Canada, drove over the border with no problem. Coming back into...

Yeah, those "up" shots are pathetic, male or female. Even if it's a cheapie phone photo, at least have a friend do it so you look somewhat normal. I'm still surprised so many people still do this. Good/Bad/Whatever, it's on the internet, now it's out there forever, it will never go away.

Never been to a fortune teller, but I live by my horoscope :D Kidding, what a load of BS those things are. Kind of like reading a daily comic strip. They're so vague and general, parts of them are guaranteed to match your life. Yet some people almost let them run their lives. I'm a Gemini and a...

Sodas are one of the biggest cash cows for restaurants, movie theatres and fast food places. They literally cost pennies. The cups are often more expensive. Unless you go inside and do a self serve thing rather than the drive thru, they're filled with ice, making the profit even larger.

I always get a laugh out of the new recruits who show up on local newscasts. Live in Spokane, WA. pronounced Spo-Can. The newbies give themselves away when it comes out Spo-Cane :D

Well that's depressing, certainly ruined my day. It's shocking how awful some people can be. Hopefully she's off to prison for a very long time where she can't do this to another baby. The reporter was definitely an idiot. I see it more and more, they're just talking heads, don't even...

Sorry, that came out wrong. Beyonce and Jay-Z obviously are very talented and they're real. There is probably some lip-syncing, a little studio correction with auto-tune here and there, but extremely talented people. It's fun to see these people live, without the computer corrected voice...

Compensation for what they lack on top. On the other hand, I couldn't grow a beard or mustache to save my life. Guess it all balances out ;)

Thankfully with good genetics, still a full head of hair at 50+. I can't imagine going bald or shaving my head, never going to happen. There's some grey, but the hair is still there :blink:.

The woman who tried to pass me on a one lane city street. Main driving lane and people who live in the neighborhood park on the right. Pull up at a red light, goes green, people on the right side turn right, but she tries to zoom in front of me in an obviously single lane. I'm not aggressive...

Posting way to much, I'll start behaving :rolleyes: B & J are so annoying, why do they think they're special? Just as bad as the "K" family along with Bruce, what a bunch of freaks. We're expected to care about their lives, their big butts, implants and the plastic surgeries they've supposedly...

Annoyed or baffled? Watching an episode of "Chopped". They're focusing on diners and their cooks for this show. Not to sound to snooty, but please, these people are short order cooks flipping burgers, making fries and meatloaf, occasionally something a bit more high end. Yet they refer to...

These people can make loads of money, much of it to support their chronic alcoholism. They pull the "homeless vet, cardboard sign scam and as Mike Frezon says, often with a dog for extra sympathy", always setting up at a freeway off-ramp where there's a traffic light so they've got a captive...

Amazing people are still pulling this scam. But make 250 calls, one or two go for it and you're making pretty good money for a day's work.

I've often wondered about those "up in the air" views. Seems like it would be incredibly uncomfortable. My 42" is on a nice stand about two feet off the ground, perfect viewing when I'm in couch potato mode sitting in my recliner :rolleyes: Even my ancient 1983 20" Sony in the bedroom is at...

Best piece of advice. Unless I recognize the number, I don't pick up. 99% of the time there's never a voicemail left.

Man killed in downtown Spokane shooting cooperating with police. Catch the error :eek: Don't think it went live for long, it was corrected to say "Shooter cooperating with police", but wow, how does something like that slip by the editors?

I've still got my landline, not tied to internet. Internet is usually there, but not always 100% reliable. If I'm dying and call 911, I want them to be able to find me as soon as possible, not try and triangulate between cell towers or do some fictional GPS stuff like on NCIS. <_< My cordless...

With Caller ID, I just ignore them. The Do-Not-Call list is a joke, what a complete waste of time, worked for maybe six months, then the calls started right back up. Surprisingly never on my cell-phone, only the land line. I'd like to think it's one of those "just ignore them, they'll go away"...

Just one more :D Why does Comcast/Xfinity keep sending guys out trying to get me to switch from DISH. At least once a month for the past two years, do they not understand the word "No"? I actually don't even care what kind of deal they may have, I'll never do business with Comcast again, they...

Kind of an aside, but thought I'd sell off some of my older DVDs. Took a bunch to a pawn shop, figured I'd get $2-$3 each, nope. Single DVDs, 25¢. Found a website that offered 23¢. Come on, I paid $40 or more for some of these, special editions, special packaging, etc. I kept them and won't...

Give me $1M, I still wouldn't do it. #1-I like life. #2-I hate cold, and even were I to live, I'd like to keep my fingers, toes and nose, not lose them to frostbite.

Or blindly hand a guy $100 for a thermostat for my furnace. It's 20 years old, exact match. Offered him $10 on eBay, immediate rejection. I'll keep shopping. My BP is 110/70, pretty good numbers TJPC ;)

Yep, probably a bit sexist, but seriously, 9 times out of 10 it's a woman driver causing problems. Not signalling, texting/chatting on her phone, driving a huge SUV all by herself when it could easily hold 10 people. Taking up two parking spaces or using a handicapped space because she's to...

I get a wonderful 3 Mbps from CenturyLink. It's pathetic, you'd think I was living in Podunkville Montana, but it's Spokane WA, second largest city after Seattle. Comcast/Xfinity, a company I despise, will upgrade me to 100 Mbps, but they want $450 for install and deposit :eek: then $90 a month...
