I literally just learned this in a Ted talk that youtube fed me yesterday or the day before. Here’s a fantastic example of that smirk.

I should really learn how to be a day trader so I can get rich off of all this stock market manipulation…

You don’t, but you’re getting it anyway. I reckon some of y’all deserve it and some of y’all don’t. Such is life. I live in Florida and can’t wait to see how this years hurricane season pans out…

I used to run an auto service center with a Coke machine in the waiting room. Once a month I would get a commission check in the mail from Coca-Cola for usually about $50 or $60. We averaged about 40 cars a day through that place so the machine got a lot of business…

oh wow… you made me think of this movie I saw in the theater when I was a kid: The Day of the Dolphin with George C. Scott. 10 year old me really enjoyed it.

I had an earth science teacher that would let us bring in one 3X5 card of notes for our tests, and I would spend an hour or so transcribing all my notes into small print front and back, then go in and ace the test without ever needing them. Just recopying it all was enough.

CT scans every 4 months… probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I’m just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority…

Several years ago, before we got the transmitter-type meters, they would sometimes estimate our usage. We didn’t know that until after several months of estimates they came out and actually read it. Apparently, their previous estimates were all low, and suddenly we were hit with a $900+ bill to catch us back up. That sucked. I also remember meeting one of the readers who was going house to house. Our next-door-neighbor’s house is completely fenced in, so the reader would come down our driveway and read our meter, then use a pair of binoculars to read the neighbors meter from our yard.

YES!! LOL

haha yeah I’ve been a pothead for 40-several years and I got my Florida MMU card last year. It took me a while to get past my “kid in a candy store” phase. Geez I wasn’t used to having ANY choice, let alone that many choices 😆

but back then it was “fine” because it never made the news…
