I remember a day when a men's shaving commercial would have some stud with a heavy beard, who just after shaving, had a hot woman all over him. Behold: https://youtu.be/L6q_2JleoqY That there is a Sideshow Bob, who looks like he needs to shave maybe once a week. After their screwup commercial, Gillette is off my … Continue reading Learn to Shave

Happy Mother’s Day
It's Mother's Day today, and I've been relieved of coffee duty at Church this Sunday. It's one of those Sundays we don't staff. Herself is minding the grandkids, as my daughter has a health issue. So I'm here alone with my thoughts. Thoughts of my own mother. My mom was born in 1930, basically as … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
I am old, But I’m happy.
If you have a son, this song absolutely resonates. https://youtu.be/iolunbBnWx0 Ok. I'm a guitar geek. Cat Stevens is playing a wonderful Gibson Hummingbird. Man, If I had the expendable dough I'd buy one. But the lead guitar dude is playing who knows what, probably a Taylor knock-off. Sounds horrible. This one is better. https://youtu.be/ydebNPlzXHw Would've … Continue reading I am old, But I’m happy.
Ready for Round #2
It's Saturday evening. Easter Saturday. And I'm spent, but not finished. Herself texted, thinking she'd get a break today. But it's not to be. Honestly, I didn't expect to see her until well after dark. Tax deadline is Monday, and I'm certain they are pushing through so they don't have to work tomorrow on Easter. … Continue reading Ready for Round #2
Don’t Answer the Door
Don't answer the door. Never answer the door. I have a cameras that enable me to not answer the door. What did I do? I answered the door. Just like this: https://vimeo.com/551250163 Except that guy left. This time, a dude rocked up and I ignored him. Then he came up with another dude a few … Continue reading Don’t Answer the Door
I’m Calling BS
There is a story hitting the blogosphere last week about the 16-year-old kid being handed a paper with the rules on the first day of work. These rules: I'm calling BS. The story started on boredpanda.com and I'm guessing it was made up thing to get people squawking. This basically was an email chain thing … Continue reading I’m Calling BS
Dropping Ballast
I saw a cool post on Wilder: https://wilderwealthywise.com/human-chow-its-whats-for-dinner/ Couple things resonated with me - processed food expressed as "pre-digested" this is why you get that immediate carb rush with nearly all processed foods. Interestingly he tells of a study where they powdered the rat chow, and even given the same amounts of calories, the rats … Continue reading Dropping Ballast
When Karens Attack
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/01/two_women_show_how_completely_insane_covid_mania_has_driven_people.html I'm big enough to ignore this silliness. But from the second they started jabbering, I'd have pressed the button for the next floor, and shoved them out the door. Probably by neck. Then again, with my resting bitch face, they'd have never said a peep. That's badthink, I suppose.
Merry Christmas
I'm sitting here editing tons of video. So I have time on my hands. As long as the audio plays OK, I don't really have to stare at the video the whole time. Thank God! This stuff is dry as toast. I was pondering a Christmas post, but as usual those on my blogroll do … Continue reading Merry Christmas
Should’ve Known Better
I had a job interview the other day. I'm not really looking, but I had a request from LinkedIn, I had interviewed with them in the past, so I figured, why not. The requestor is a pretty well known network security shop, after all. Indeed. I found out though since the same damn thing happened … Continue reading Should’ve Known Better
