Adventures of Friday

Hey,

Ah the last week day of vacation.  Thankfully I still have 2 more days before I have to go back.  I really don’t want to go back but need to be able to keep paying bills and putting food on the floor (for the cats) & table (for me). 

I got up early and got a shower.  Passed out breakfast for the cats.  Made sure Mora had her pill before I left.  Then headed out for breakfast at a local fast food place.  Sat inside eating.  A bunch of old guys talking.  Another old guy comes in about the time they started talking about the Obama Presidential Library.  The guy that walked in heard their comments in interjected himself to their conversation.  It went from calm to a shouting match in about 15 seconds.  Jeez that was uncomfortable.  Thankfully the old guy just walked away and had his breakfast with his wife.  The crowd of old guys kept talking about him for a few minutes and quite loudly like they wanted to egg him on but they switched subjects.  Everything was peaceful when I left.  Not the entertainment that I was looking for while I ate breakfast. 

Got the mail because I saw I had a check from Facebook.  Ooh a whole $7.  Nice to get but wished it was more.  Came back home and relaxed with the cats and watched TV.  Eventually it was time to leave for my Facial.  I looked forward to this and it was my reward to myself. 

The facial was similar to facials I have had before but the esthetician that I got had her face covered in acne.  Seriously, your going to take care of my skin but you can’t take care of your own?  It was an okay experience but I had a bright light in my face for the whole time and had to keep my eyes closed, that was the most uncomfortable part.  I do feel like she did a better job but wish we had a rapport like I do with the lady at the place I normally go once a year.  One of the things that turned me on about this place was that it was $125 total and that included the tip.  Damn if the fuckers didn’t charge a $3.25 administrative fee for taking a credit card, that jacked up the price a bit.  However, I got a receipt and plan to dispute that $3.25 fee, not sure if that will work in my favor.  My skin is glowing and feels super clean.

Came home and had a brownie & a soda.  Chatted with the cats.  Then decided about supper.  Before I left I called a guy that I found on Facebook to see about having him replace the column.  He said he would be right over.  He was pretty quick.  We met and damn it was love at first sight.  I was all tongue tied and had problems talking.  Eventually I got my words out and we had a nice conversation.  My heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to jump out of my chest.  My little voice said go on tell him he’s hot as fuck.  I used different words but told him and he said thanks, my good looks come from my mom.  He asked if there was anything else he could help me with.  I think he was being professional, but I wanted to fuck so bad.  That’s not my make up but I wanted him that bad.  I just said no.  We shook hands and he drove away.  He assured me that I would hear from him within a week.  He doesn’t need any money up front and I wouldn’t pay until the job was done.  When I came back inside I washed my hands just because we shook hands.  My hand was covered in white dust.  I wished that was his load instead. 

Needless to say he’s been on my mind ever since we met.  I think he’s probably straight.  I did some searching found that he is 23 and lives not far from me.  23 no wonder he’s so appealing.  If he comes back here I’m going to ask him on a date but that’s only after business is done.  Worst he can say is no or so I figure. 

After I was done washing my hands I said bye to the cats and left for supper.  I drove to a seafood place that is an hour and 15 minutes away.  Oddly it wasn’t terribly far from the BBQ place that I wanted to go to.  I kept getting lost trying to find the place.  I was clearly in a bad neighborhood.  Two state troopers had two different traffic stops, one happened right in front of me as I was waiting for a light to change.  That said, the food was prenominal.  I had Broiled Orange Roughy.  It came with a salad, green beans and potato.  I had rice by accident instead.  Still it was a nice and quick meal.  They put a small loaf of bread on the table as well but I only ate one slice, didn’t want to fill up on bread.  There were a few alcoholic drinks that I’d like to have tried as well as a couple deserts that looked good.  I think I might have been there 20 to 30 minutes tops.  The place was packed and more people were piling in as I was leaving.  My friend I had lunch with yesterday told me about this place months ago and I decided to give it a try.  I will be back for sure!

Got back on the road home, ran into lots and lots of rain.  From a quick sprinkle to a heavy downpour.  By the time I got home there was no rain here.  It’s been raining off and on all day long.  More is on the way tonight.  Hopefully, I won’t need an arc in the morning to get out. 

I have yet to check work email today, planning on saving that either for later or possibly tomorrow.  Not eager about it at all.  My plan for tomorrow is to visit the office just to see if there is anything waiting for me.  Not sure if I will stop by the Mexican restaurant or just come home and have my Chinese food.  Also not sure if I want to get it done early in the morning or wait until the afternoon.  Kind of depends on how I feel. 

Wishing I wouldn’t have cancelled Rudy’s vet appointment.  I think Mora needs to go back.  Her rear end smells bad again and I think that she is in the process of forming another abscess.  I skipped her dose of antibiotics last night, kind of feel bad about it but she didn’t have any food on her stomach and I was told not to give it to her unless she has eaten otherwise it can cause GI Upset.  Didn’t want her to barf or to take the risk of it.  Right now I am keeping an eye on her.  I plan to soak a couple of paper towels in some warm water and see if she will permit me to wipe her butt gently.  If I have any concerns at all I will get her back to the vet, despite the fact that I really don’t want to go back there anytime soon.  However, my cats health and well being is my #1 concern.  While I shouldn’t put them above myself I do because they mean that much to me.  I know the pain all too well of losing them and while that day will eventually come I don’t want it to be because I failed or hesitated to seek care.  Besides that they both honestly love me and they show that to me constantly.  They know that I love & care for them.  There’s no doubt about it. 

Now I am home for the evening in front of the computer and porn surfing.  Eventually I will head up and call it a night but I am in no hurry to do that.  The cats might make me go to bed.  Last night Mora came down after me and she got me to go upstairs but she wanted to stay down here.  Not sure why she loves the basement.  It’s cooler down here year round.  Cats however like heat and to be warm. 

Here’s hoping that it’s an enjoyable and productive weekend.  The only good thing about going back to work is that I will be back in a routine.  Being free from that short term is nice and I could stand to be away from it a little longer, however I know that eventually no matter what you have to go back.  I didn’t miss a single person.  Glad next week is only a 4 day week. 

Take care and hope you had a great day.  Thanks for reading my adventures/rambling. 

 

 

Humidity it’s a killer

Hey – Good morning!

The temperature in the house got up to 81 yesterday.  My bedroom saw a high of 82 with 54% humidity.  I was miserable and honestly gave serious thought to flipping on the AC but I held off.  A nice cool down would have felt really good.  However, we have way lower temperatures today and I figured this place would cool off.  Well it did just not nearly as much as I wanted.  It’s 79 upstairs but the humidity seems to have lessened.  I didn’t look at the thermometer in my room so I don’t know for sure.  The basement is 72 with 40% humidity and it’s nice and comfy cool down here. 

The heat was a reminder that I needed a new dehumidifier for my bedroom.  My old one just stopped working when I powered it off last year and now it won’t power back on.  I ordered a replacement on Amazon and they promised to have it delivered same day between 5p and 10p.  When do you think it arrived?  If you said this morning at 6a then your right.  I hate it when they fall short on delivery times, but there’s no compensation.  I mean I could call to complain and that might get me a few dollars and an apology but honestly it’s not worth my time.  I mean I got my order. 

I bit my tongue and called the old tree guy.  Turns out he got a new job and is frequently out of town on less than a moments notice.  I’m sure his wife loves that.  Anyway, he told me he hadn’t forgotten about me.  He sucks when it comes to keeping in touch and communication in general.  That’s always been the case.  However, he told me that he would try to make it here this weekend but for sure would be in touch soon.  We shall see.  While I won’t wait forever, I will give him a bit more time.  Hopefully, he’s not just telling me what I want to hear.  I suppose I will find out soon enough.  It would be nice to see him this weekend though to get this job done. 

Work yesterday afternoon kicked into super high gear for me after having pretty much the morning off.  I got busy and broke out the cordless keyboard as I peered into my laptop and concentrated on what I was doing.  All the while having cats pester me.  It was annoying and I made a small mistake in the process but thankfully it was easily fixable.  Shh, don’t tell anyone, it will be our secret.  I think I impressed and over delivered for a particular manager, which will get me brownies points.  I added that task to my list that I include with my review, which will be coming up soon.  Knocked out another project for upper management.  I couldn’t believe an hour had gone by since I last looked at the clock but the next hour passed even faster despite having nothing to do.  I was happy when it was time to pack it in for the day and I did turn off the PC early.  There aren’t many days that I do that.  Work gets more than their fair share out of me  and I give it since I am working from home. 

On the TV front I saw a YouTube video the other day where a Sherriff’s deputy in Florida almost got shot.  He took a female into custody and searched her multiple times.  She managed to get out of the cuffs not once but twice.  She concealed a gun in her waist ban that he never felt during the multiple searches.  They were traveling to the jail and that’s when she took her shot.  She grazed him in the head.  He was one lucky guy.  I never saw someone stop a car and get out so quickly.  He returned fire but she too only got grazed.  He had plenty of backup and they got her out, got the gun and then off to jail she went.  What a stupid idea to try to kill a cop especially when your in the back of his squad car.  Now if she was successful and did manage to kill him, the would have wrecked and she would have been trapped since there is no way out from the inside when your in the back of a cop car.  Again, dumb idea.  Hence why they say criminals are dumb, dare I say down right stupid. 

I enjoy watching videos about scammers and how they are evolving.  It helps me with my job.  However, I hate to see innocent people victimized.  I heard a story about what I call a man in the middle attack.  So imagine that your close to retirement, you find a new place to live and plan to purchase what is considered to be your dream home.  You do everything right with hiring an attorney to cover the legal end as well as facilitate the purchase.  Email after email is exchanged not only with you but with the other side whom your buying the home from (presumably a bank or title company).  Then out of the blue you get an email telling you to send the funds and wire instructions are provided for you to send the money.  You comply and think that it’s a done deal.  Only to show up to closing and find out that you were taken.  The lawyer you hired claims their network was safe.  The bank or title company says the same thing.  What happened was that one of their networks was penetrated and an attacker was waiting and watching.  Then when the time is right they struck.  You saw a typo or some language in the email asking you to send the money that wasn’t phrased properly but you thought nothing of it, but that was a silent clue.  Now your money is all gone and no one can help you.  If you find your self needing to wire money, ALWAYS call the last good number you have on file (don’t use the email or letter that was sent to you) and call to confirm the wiring instructions, especially if there is a last minute change.  This scenario plays out all the time and the attackers don’t just prey on individuals they go after companies as well.  It’s happened where I work at and it’s been caught and stopped before any damage has been done.  It really sucks when it’s a person or a couple thinking they are getting their dream home only to find out their life savings has vanished. 

Another video I saw involved Sextortion.  A 15 year old got a text from a random girl who claimed to go to school with him.  She knew intimate details about him, his family and social life.  She convinced him to send nudes and she sent some to him as well.  Then it turned into a ransom demand.  When he couldn’t pay the scammer started barraging the poor kid with text messages and wages psychological warfare with him inundating him with a flurry of messages in a super short amount of time.  The attacker was convincing the kid to commit suicide and ultimately he did because he didn’t see a way out.  I had no idea that attackers/scammers were so bold to try to convince someone to take their own life.  A mobile phone is a great invention but it can also be weaponized just like anything else.  That’s why parents have to educate their kids.  I think schools need to provide the education to kids as well about this type of event.  Taking nude photos is a turn on to many people regardless of age.  Young people who are naïve to the danger are easy victims.  A kid shouldn’t take his own life, much less be coached into it by a stranger.  This happened in West Virginia I believe and the kids parents are working with law makers to get a bill passed so that it’s a requirement that this danger is taught to kids in school.  I think doing that is a great first step but parents still have to talk with their kids. 

Sorry for the super long post but some of this has been building and I just managed to remember it all this morning and had some time on my hands.  Here’s hoping it’s a good day for all of us.  Take care.

And that makes 3

I just learned that Lane Rogers (aka Blake Mitchell) passed away from a motorcycle accident that occurred on Monday.  He was 31.  If the name doesn’t ring any bells he was a porn star.  He started in the porn industry young with his first job at Helix Studios.  He was well endowed, had a great smile and from what I’ve read on-line a great person.  He provided me many orgasms over the years.  I’m sad to hear that another young person is gone.

For me this makes 3 people that I knew of and was fond of that have passed.  It started with Scott Finn (another porn star) who took his own life, then I learned that a former co-worker took his own life earlier this year and now Lane.

I hope that we are done now.  I hate to hear of anyone passing away regardless of the cause but a young person passing is especially bothersome to me.    

May they all Rest In Peace.

Scott Finn

Yesterday I posted about the death of adult star Scott Finn.  It was difficult to find any information yesterday morning but by late evening I was able to find his obituary, which you can view here …https://www.providentfuneralhome.com/obituaries/rhett-douglas-messerly 

It really made it worse for me, when I found out that this young man was only 27 years old.  I alluded to the fact that he committed suicide and while that sounds plausible, there has been no official announcement of that by any public official or his family.

What I know is that he announced a while back that he was getting married.  Earlier this year he announced that he was divorced.  He apparently had a hard struggle with that and his life since then was difficult. 

It’s no secret I’ve had my struggles with life, I think it’s just part of being human.  You’ve probably had your struggles as well.  Life isn’t exactly easy and a bed of roses all the time, we all will have problems there is no escaping that fact. 

It just really bothers me that such a young person who seemingly had so much life and brought so much happiness to many is gone.  Sure I only came to know him as a porn star and he did a great job and was attractive to me.  However, behind that persona was someone’s son, brother, uncle and friend – a human.  It’s sad to realize that he is gone at such a young age. 

His funeral is today (December 4th).  I wish I was closer in proximity as I would certainly attend to pay my respects.  I feel sad for his family and friends.  I know that he will be missed. 

While tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us, I hope that you will agree with me that parents aren’t supposed to bury their children.  Death at any age is difficult to cope with but it’s worse when it’s at such a young age and there was so many possibilities that could have unfolded and his life could have gotten better.

Not that I expect his family or friends will see this post but I still express my deepest sympathies.  Rest in Peace Rhett “Scott”. 

Technology & Guns

I’ve been thinking about a couple things that were news worthy items this week and wanted to share my two cents, not that it will change anything.

First – The kid who used ChatGPT to commit suicide. I heard on a tech podcast that this kid wasn’t the first person who consulted a computer regarding suicide and in fact this was the 3^rd case. Technology like anything can be weaponized and destructive or deadly. I get that some people don’t have anyone to talk to. Look at me I am pretty much all alone. I also get that folks might think that others won’t understand what they are dealing with. Suicide is a drastic thing and as I learned in therapy when I was much younger, it’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

We are all dealing with something. It might be work, school, sexuality, the death of a family member or friend, a sick pet or a pet that has passed, a traffic accident or ticket, some other legal issue and the list goes on. No matter what you are dealing with you are not alone there are help lines in every single country that you can call and talk with a human being. You can find resources for your country at https://www.suicidestop.com/call_a_hotline.html

I speak from experience from having wanted to commit suicide a couple times in my adult life and also in my teenage years. The worst times in my life were the death of my spouse and then when I lost Gator my long-time cat that had been with me for 18 years. Once she passed away that ignited former feelings of being all alone and it was kind of like my spouse died all over again. I honestly didn’t think that things would ever get better or see a clear path. All I wanted to do was die because it just didn’t seem to me that life mattered that much or that anyone would truly miss me if I was gone. I didn’t bottle things up; I took someone up on their offer that they would listen to me and I sought them out and opened right up telling my life story to them. It was hours of time we spent. I did a lot of crying. I also went to the pet store and looked at cats but that just made me cry. I managed to go a month without a cat and then I started looking that’s how I wound up with Rudy and Mora. They are my lifesavers, seriously. They are so attached to me and since I am their 3^rd owner I told them that this was their home and they are here to stay. I mean that is unless I drop dead or get killed in a car accident or some other hazard.

I’ve had some low points and at times even with these two cats’ life can be overwhelming and I have had some thoughts of calling life quits. Deep down I don’t want to die, I just want my circumstances to change so the pain would stop. I know how I felt back when Gator passed and then nothing mattered. That was the closest that I came to actually going through with it. I had a lot of people scared even my own doctor. With some of the things I told him he should have had me locked up for my own well being but he trusted me when I told him that I wouldn’t do anything. How many people say that and then the next thing you know they are gone?

I’ve said all of that to say this. Reach out for help to solve your problems, talking honestly deep down feels really good especially when you’re talking to the right person that you can trust.

A former friend of mine told me think about what if you try something and you wind up hurting yourself and you live and don’t die but are handicapped or permanently injured. Also think about whom ever would find your body, that’s something that they will never be able to unsee. Regardless if it’s a seasoned professional like a police officer or fire fighter. They are human. It’s much worse if that person is a family member or friend.

I do think that ChatGPT and other AI chat bots should have restrictions placed on them so they don’t discuss mental health issues and/or assist with how to form a plan to end your life. I think that should have been obvious from the day AI started but obviously it was overlooked.

Second - The shooting at the Catholic School in Minnesota. I looked using AI for what country school shootings occur in. I was surprised to find that the US is not the only place but sadly we are the leading country where this happens. It’s to the point where it’s at epidemic levels.

I know that the 2^nd amendment gives the rights to bear arms and you have the right to defend yourself if you are being attacked or in imminent danger. It’s odd that each time this happens all we do is send thoughts and prayers. Well, those don’t do a whole lot to solve this problem that is continuing to occur. One child shot is one too many and this is something that never should have occurred.

I do think there should be stronger gun laws, I do think that all firearm owners should be responsible and lock/secure their weapons from children or those that might have mental health issues. I think that perhaps raising the cost of ammo would also be another action that could be taken. Look the world is filled with a bunch of intelligent people and brilliant minds, surely if we had some dialog and discussions on this a plan could be formulated that would solve this issue once and for all.

However, it’s not until the problem affects you or someone you know that people really focus much attention on this issue. These are innocent children who are trying to get an education and they are not out to harm anyone. I think it’s wrong to steal a child’s innocence regardless of how it’s done. Because once they are robbed of that it’s something they will never ever get back and it will stick with them through out their lives.

I grew up Catholic and started off in Catholic grade school. We had to go to mass every day we were at school. We said the pledge of allegiance to start the day. It was all very much a routine but times were way different and we had no school shootings then. We also had no technology then. However, we did have firearms but they were reserved mostly for hunters and those that wanted self-protection. Sure, we had criminals who had them to rob and steal. I also went to public grade school from 5^th grade forward and then on to public high school.

Kids can be cruel there is no doubt about it. I can think of a few kids that I grew up with that I wished I had never met. We were all free though in that we went to school each day and there was no worry or concern that someone would come in guns blazing. Being a kid today is radically different from when I grew up and honestly if I was a kid today, I would be scared out of my mind. I can’t imagine having to walk through a metal detector and using a swipe card to gain access to school. I can’t imagine hearing gun shots while I was trying to learn and then having to take cover. What if I was just walking to or from a class and was in the wrong place at the wrong time? My childhood wasn’t perfect but no way would I trade my school experience for what exists today.

I think that this problem is going to continue and it’s going to get much, much, much worse before it ever gets better. It won’t be until someone important like a politician’s kid gets injured or killed before things change in the US. There is never a time where I’d love to be proven wrong than now and from today forward never ever hear about another school shooting for as long as I live.

I can’t imagine being a parent to get the call that their child was injured or killed while at school. I feel sad for the kids as well as the parents.

Please someone find a way to solve this problem and the sooner the better before another life is lost.

Sextortion

I commented on a blog a short time ago giving some advice regarding Sextortion.  I am posting an edited version of my comment here in the hopes the advice will be of help and/or can maybe prevent someone from falling into this trap. 

1. It’s best not to pay any ransom and to involve law enforcement. There is no real assurance or guarantee the threat actor won’t publish your information, presuming they have it. 

2. Block the person’s screen name in the app your using and if you have exchange phone numbers, block their phone number so you aren’t continued to be bothered. If your using an app to communicate, report the person on the app.  If they did this to you, chances are good they did it to someone else as well. 

3. If you want to cruise/date I would suggest getting a second phone number just for that purpose and not to ever give out your real phone number and perhaps withholding his last name. Similarly I’d get a second email account for cruising/dating purposes.  There are still a lot of good and honest people in the world, the problem is it's really challenging to find them.

One rule of thumb I have is not to take nudes ever. Because once it's out there it lives forever and you never know when that might come back to bite you. I realize the thrill of sending nudes but if your going to send them at least wait to get to know the person and be certain that you can trust them.  You might not care about it but if you think about it that nude can be weaponized and used against you, that’s why no matter what I just don’t take them.  It’s your body and totally up to you, just keep in mind that it can come back to haunt you.  

It's really sad when some folks fall into this "trap" especially teenagers.  Some teenagers have not seen a way out and sadly have wound up taking their own life.  Parents are people and some like others are more understanding.  Only you know your situation best.  I think that if it comes down to your personal safety versus coming out/being exposed.  Better that you tell your loved ones that your gay than take your own life.  It’s not worth that and so many parents wished that their child / family member would have just told them.  That said, I realize that some folks don't accept gay people but at the end of the day you have to live your life for you!  After all it's your life and you deserve to be happy and your authentic self.  It’s all about being comfortable in the skin your in.  Once you are, it’s the best feeling in the world! 

Best tip ever … if your gut is telling you something isn’t right, listen to that and do not ignore it!!  Better safe than sorry.  Also, always operate with caution in mind.  I realize hormones get carried away and you want to drop your guard or forget about common sense.  I’ve been there and know first hand it’s not as easy as it sounds.  

A huge tip off that something is wrong is often Threat actors (aka that person you’ve been communicating with) will start on an app but then put on pressure to move off the app for "convenience sake" or provide some other excuse. This is so the app has no knowledge of what they are doing and when/if you choose to report them they have either moved on to a different screen name or there is very little data that shows any kind of violation of the TOS (Terms Of Service) of the app. Always stay on the app for safety sake. 

An additional step you can take is to use a service to get your personal information off the web.  Data brokers post your personal information to the web and it's next to impossible to combat this alone. It's like a game of whack-a-mole as soon as you get your information deleted from one site, it pops up on another. There are several services that will scour the web for you and do this on your behalf. You of course have to pay them for this service. Personally, I use several companies as I find that one just isn't enough unless you go for top tier service plans but the cost that I have seen is typically thousands of dollars.  Yearly or monthly affordable options are offered by most companies and some suggestions on services are... Delete Me, Incogni, Aura, Optery and Easy Opt Out.

A recent development, Google will also help for free by removing some search results, check out this link for more info…https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/12719076?hl=en
Understand that while the search result won’t appear in Google it can appear in other search engines and/or it’s still available on the web just not readily linked for easy access. 

Disclaimer … This is just personal advice that I have come across over the years.  None of the companies mentioned are sponsors.  I am not an expert in this field but have had one bad experience that I could see was going south quicker than anything.  Another tip off is if you get long emails that drone on and on.  It’s probably a scam and the person will eventually wind up asking you for money.  Believe it or not there are kits the threat actors buy that have those emails scripted out, so they just copy and paste. 

The last laugh

Friday afternoon was not a whole lot of fun.  Things were calm and boring at work.  I decided that I would have some fun on Only Fans and check out a former porn star.  I subscribed to his OF and then my internet went down.  This was 3p and it didn’t come back up until 7a on Saturday. 

I had to get connected for work never mind porn.  Thankfully I turned on the hotspot on my phone and was able to login with my laptop to work.  I also connected my Roku player and was able to stream content so I wasn’t stuck bored with absolutely nothing to do. 

That pretty much took care of Friday night.  I couldn’t sleep very well because I was concerned about the internet but I had no control over that.  I woke up a couple times during the night and it was still down. 

Woke up at my normal time and decided to just get up and get ready.  I showered and just waited for my haircut time and left.  As I looked out my front yard I saw something sticking out of the snow but couldn’t identify what it was.  When I left for my haircut I got a closer look.  Those kids that cleared my driveway left one of their shovels.  They actually buried it with the snow they were clearing.  Looks like I got the last laugh there because it’s a nice shovel, not that I will ever use it.  I kind of felt like calling the guy up and holding the shovel for ransom but I know that wouldn’t go anywhere so I am just telling you about it and keeping the shovel.  I thought it was quite funny. 

After my haircut I went for Blueberry Pancakes that I had been craving.  It was damn cold outside but wasn’t a whole lot warmer inside of the restaurant I went to.  A hot young blonde stud came in with a small family.  Of course he sat facing me so I never got to look at his rear end but damn I just imagined that he was probably hung because he was super skinny and had the deepest voice.  He probably was somewhere between 18 and 20 if I had to guess.  I enjoyed breakfast and behaved myself. 

Next stop was the post office and wow there was a lot of mail.  Of course I get home and got an email that a package of medicine was just delivered.  I debated if I should go back.  However, I was in my nice warm home and there was no way I was going right back out. 

I loafed with the cats as we waited for the Amazon person to arrive.  I got immersed in a new series on Amazon called Cross.  It’s a mini series based about homicides that play out in the cast of characters.  It does get pretty sick and twisted but I was roped in and just finished it this morning.  Lots of plot twists and turns that kept me wanting more.  I hope they make a second season of this show. 

Went out for BBQ in the afternoon.  The meal it’s self was horrible but I didn’t leave hungry but didn’t exactly enjoy my meal.  An older guy walked in and my little voice spoke to me to buy his meal.  I haven’t done that kind deed in several months.  I got his waitresses attention about the time I was wrapping up with my meal and paid his bill.  She asked me why I was paying and I told her it was a random act of kindness.  I told her my line about the magic trick and about all of the crazy ass responses I’ve gotten.  Nothing could prepare me for the response I was going to get from this guy.  Once I paid my bill I got up and walked over and threw my line on him.  He told me that he doesn’t like magic.  I told him that I made his bill disappear and he just looked at me and said okay.  He acted like he didn’t believe me.  I said I really paid your bill. He just said yeah, okay whatever.  I told his waitress that she would have to explain it to him.  That is the first time I didn’t get a thank you.  That bothered me but I know I did the right thing.  My little voice doesn’t typically lead me in the wrong direction.  His bill was peanuts so it’s not like it’s going to break me. 

After doing that kind deed you’d think the universe would be kind to me.  Nope I went back to grab my medicine from the post office and damn if I didn’t step in chewing gum.  I didn’t figure that out until I got inside of the house and my shoes were sticking to the carpet.  Why do people not use trash cans. 

I worked on laundry and got on Only Fans.  Damn it was late when I was done like 10p and I came down around 5p. I did break to pass out cat treats and throw the laundry into the dryer.  I was just determined to make my way to the end of the page.  There was lots of good content but most of it was solo.  I was all horned up but damn tired.  I gathered the laundry headed up and the cats followed me.  It was time for bed.  I had zero energy left.  Just watched a little TV and I was out. 

Rudy woke me this morning and I hit snooze on him. He gave me 15 additional minutes before he began his biscuit making routine.  I got up and passed out breakfast for them.  I got dressed, took my pills and headed out for breakfast.  The car said the outside temp was 11.  I was damn cold and after I ate and was on my way to the grocery store the outside temp was 10.  It’s supposed to just get colder all day long.  Although right now it’s 13 and windy.  The high for today is 22 but I don’t think we are going to see it and the low is 5. 

Silly me decided that I would go to a favorite chain Mexican place.  The problem is that this place is not terribly far from work so it’s about 40 miles from home.  The food is good but I don’t know that it’s worth the trip but my taste buds are telling me to go, but my body says stay home.  I am going to venture out for a bite to eat just not sure that today is the day I am going to that Mexican place.  Might just go to a place that is closer to home. 

I’ve had my nap after the grocery store and gotten my medicine out as well as cleaned the house.  Came down to do more laundry and play on the computer.  I found a podcast called Out ‘N Proud on YouTube.  The hosts are two hot blond kids and of course they have Only Fans accounts.  One of them said that he was really super hung and well I got curious.  I signed up for his OF and turns out he’s a total tease.  He never shows the goods just photos of him hard in underwear.  I didn’t pay that much for joining but damn I did feel like a sucker.  I was afraid he would have all PPV content but he doesn’t.  Everything he has is just a tease to get you worked up and of course take your money.  That and apparently PPV content is the new thing that younger generation is using to make their wealth.  I felt like a sucker for giving into my hormones and joining but you do get what you pay for. 

Oh yeah, the Amazon person did come yesterday.  I got a new heater for my office in the basement.  It’s Chinese made and while it works it’s nothing like the USA brands that I have seen before nor does it work exactly the same, close but not the same.  It was also a disaster to get the base on the thing but after much trial and error I succeeded.  The one thing that I do like about it is there is what I call a dead man switch.  As long as the switch is in contact with the floor the until will operate but the second it loose contact with the ground the unit grounds to a halt.  This thing seems to think that it’s 68 degrees in the basement and I’ve got a thermometer here that says different.  Not sure if this thing is in Fahrenheit or Celsius and there doesn’t seem to be a way to tell or change that.  Nevertheless it does put out some decent heat.  Once again it goes back to you get what you pay for. 

I want to make it to Sam’s Club tomorrow that’s my only goal for the day.  Thought about trying to grab lunch with a friend but talked myself out of that.  I may dine out tomorrow as well just because I can and it’s more enjoyable than eating at home.  Although it’s not going to be any warmer tomorrow than it is today.  Were not going to break out of the serious cold until Wednesday and even then the high is only 30.  Not sure about you but I am over winter already. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope that you are warm and well.  Take care!

Not again

Yesterday was quite a busy Monday.  Things were going really well in the morning.  After lunch is when things really picked up.  I saw yet another long time co-worker get let go.  We had a few interactions but I wasn’t terribly close with this person.  It is a surprise but it also reminds me of what I heard when I was a kid.  That is no matter who you are, everyone is replaceable.  That’s a tough fact to swallow.  I’ve found that usually when people loose sight of the fact they are replaceable is when they are replaced.  As much as I complain about certain aspects of my job, when the end comes for me I want it to be because I quit or retired.  I want it to be of my doing and not because I was staring down a barrel of being given an ultimatum of quit or be fired.  Seeing long time people either be fired or abruptly quit is very sobering for me and causes some anxiety.  I just have to remind myself that I am okay and to keep on moving forward. 

Last night we had a stink bug on the living room ceiling.  I’ve got cathedral ceilings.  Mora happened to notice it and she just jumped up on the couch and looked up.  She watched it even as I set out supper for the cats and went onto get food for me.  She was quite diligent.  Of course the moment she took her eyes off of it the damn thing disappeared.  It did resurface and I got it.  Wouldn’t you know it happened while I was holding her and it just popped out next to us.  Her eyes got real big and that’s how I knew she found it, I just followed her eyes and presto.  Finally it’s gone.  Good to know that Mora is so attentive to notice something small as a bug.  I’m quite sure if I wasn’t there to supervise she would have eaten it but not before playing with it. 

My dinner last night was a Holiday Meal for one from the grocery store.  Ham with a pineapple glaze, Cheesy Potatoes, Green Beans and a roll.  They put in Cranberry’s but I can’t stand them so out they went.  Rudy was my new best friend and didn’t want to leave myside.  He begged and begged.  I honestly thought about giving in for a brief second but then I reconsidered and chased him away.  It was a damn good meal.  The pineapple glaze is what makes it for me.  I’ll be getting another one of those when I go back over the weekend.  They usually have them until the New Year starts.  I don’t like hot ham though.  What I did was warm the glaze up and dip the ham in it. 

I was saddened to learn of yet another school shooting, this time in Madison WI.  What shocked me was that the shooter was a girl.  I can’t ever recall hearing about a girl shooting anything up, but maybe I’m wrong on that.  Anyway the whole thing is a tragedy.  Every time one of these events takes place everyone says we have to do more.  However, the issue looses focus and we go on with our lives until the next one happens.  Actions speak louder than words.  I honestly don’t know that this problem is ever going to go away or that there will be a solution put in place that solves the problem.  I feel like most of it comes down to education getting parents to lock up their guns and to never give put a firearm in the hands of a child unless they are supervised.  However I think never putting a gun in a kids hands is probably the best solution.  Educate them when they are older like in their 20’s.  Meanwhile let them live their lives as kids should and grow up. 

There is never a good time to loose a loved one, especially a child but so close to Christmas just puts extra suck on it.  That forever changes the holiday for all that were affected by this.  They will remember it for years to come and I’m sure for at least one or more of them it ruined the holiday for them. 

On a different note I spent my evening watching YouTube videos mostly about the making of movies like Home Alone and Planes, Trains & Automobiles.  Didn’t know that Planes, Trains & Automobiles had a bunch of footage cut from it, so much so that the cut footage I heard is longer than the abridged version of the movie that was released.  It would be quite interesting to see the whole thing unedited.  I’m sure if we saw all movies without editing that would change our opinions about them. 

Well here we go with Tuesday.  Thus far it’s starting off calm but that can all change in the blink of an eye.  Here’s hoping it’s a good day for all of us.  Wouldn’t it be nice to turn on the TV and listen to the news just once to hear nothing but good news.  I think that would have a profound affect on the world. 

Take care, stay warm and be well!
