Since roamy “doesn’t have time” for our post today, I’ll step in. Since it’s almost summer (but Al Gore must be around, cuz it’s still in the freaking 30’s), I’ll dedicate today to the Summer Olympics!
One of the definitive Olympic athletes of all time:
There’s some real athletes in the decathlon, amirite?
Gymnastics can’t be that hard, can it?
LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 01: Danell Leyva of the United States competes on the rings in the Artistic Gymnastics Men’s Individual All-Around final on Day 5 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at North Greenwich Arena on August 1, 2012 in London, England. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
We have one of the oldest sports, too.
And of course, SNATCH!
Have a lovely day!

Genius!
I forgot to tell you. I got some really really bad news at my doctor appointment yesterday.
Are you sitting down?
‘K, I am no longer 6′-2″. I am now 6’-1″. 😦
I replied on the last thread about the declutter book.
Some of those amazon commenters miss the point, I think. When she says not to store socks with the elastic stretched, or to store bags a certain way, she’s saying, now that you have far fewer possessions, take good care of them.
This whole hairless chest thing guys have affectated today is just faggery.
I’ve stored socks with the elastic stretched since forever. My life is still awesome.
I fold my shirts that way and love it.
Jay, nice job on the man flesh!
Also, don’t sort with the criterion of ‘If I haven’t worn it in a year.’ This thought process does not prevent you from senselessly accumulating more crap, nor does it get you to discard all the things you should.
Once you sort with the idea that everything that doesn’t make you happy must go, your mindset has changed about your possessions. After that marathon yesterday I’m not bringing a thing into this home again unless it’s useful and it makes my indicator glow.
Bottom line, most people have too much ditchable, worn out, past its usefulness to you, crap.
Get rid of it, enjoy the space, the ability to finally find things and wear/use things you REALLY like.
I’m still storing my socks balled up too. Fuck it. Socks are cheap.
Mare Knows. How many times have you moved in the past five years??
I make sock balls. The loss of lifespan is more than compensated by the time saved in retrieval.
I pared down my stuff a LOT when we moved in ’11. I should probably tidy out the office again, though. Papers and documents and crap piled up during baby-docpocalypse time that haven’t been properly sorted/burned/etc.
I fold my shit the way were were required to in Boot Camp. By following these methods, nothing gets wrinkled and you don’t have folding creases in some jive ass wrong locations.
No book is going to change my mind on how to do this.
Dad’s a sock balls person too. He was an active Scouter for decades, I always wrote it up to expediency at and back and forth from camp.
I balled your mom’s socks.
That explains why we had to burn them all after she passed…
Also, don’t sort with the criterion of ‘If I haven’t worn it in a year.
I’m gonna keep my penis anyway. Just in case.
Way to pinch hit the HHD, Jay!!
Way to pinch one off, Jay.
I toss all my socks in a drawer right out of the laundry basket. I grab 2 in the morning and put them on. They sometimes don’t match, but I don’t care. I also occasionally wear a T shirt inside out. Drives Penelope crazy.
Seriously, I’ve sold or given away two households of stuff. 90% of furniture and household goods. I even sold my wedding china.*
*I only put china on my registry for my Mom (12 PLACE SETTINGS). She felt I would be giving big family dinners for the inlaws like she did. Nope, not once. Instead of shipping it to Hawaii from Florida and who knows how much of it would have survived, a lovely lady came to our house and bought the whole kit and kaiboudle (sp?). She was very happy to have it.
When I finally told my Mom she said, “Whatever makes you happy, Honey!”
I used to make sock balls but now my OCD compels me to fold them at the junction of the upper and lower part. Sorta like a half-ball. When Paula does them she is very casual with the whole folding thing and they usually fall apart into the drawer. I’ve never talked to my socks except to damn them to hell for having a hole in the toe at the wrong time.
Caboodle.
If you’d darned them instead of damning them you’d be much better off.
No book is going to change my mind on how to do this.

Some of my favorite comments here are the Hotspur shouting at cloud comments.
hahahahaha
FTR, Hotspur, I agree, I just think you’re funny.
The only socks that get holes in them are the cheap ones so after the damning they’re cast into the circular pit of no return
I fold socks, my husband balls them up (shut up, whores). Even though he is a plebeian about this I still love him and plan on remaining married to him.
Caboodle.

Yes, I don’t know how the “i” got into the spelling anyway. Autocorrect is a big, fat asshole.
Damned socks make good scrubbing rags sometimes.
My mom has been downsizing for years, ever since she moved from our childhood home. She’s moved three times since then and each place has been smaller. I’m pretty sure she offered me the china after my sister turned them down. At this point it must be in the Goodwill an off to some other family who hopefully use it more than the twice a year we did.
My cat needs to lose weight. I bought the high end crap that was lower fat and low calories. AND I can only give him 1/4 a cup twice a day. He keeps looking at me like I’m a big, fat asshole. He won’t let me out of his sight like I’m going to secretly feed him and it eat myself.
Poor baby. We are taking care of my daughter’s 6 month old kitten and he’s skinny and gets the high calorie kitten food. My guy is pretty good about not eating his food.
But the little bastard and one fat one, evidently, got up on the counter last night HUGE NO NO! I found a raw potato underneath my husband’s desk this morning. I know I left it on the counter to throw it out.
Ass potato?
Other than starving the guy, do you people think it’s possible (through food control) for a 15 pound cat to get to 10 pounds? With the little guy they are running up and down stairs chasing each other and running from one end of the house to the other. Next thing I know they are cleaning each others faces and taking a nap on my bed while I’m chatting with you turds.
We had six complete sets of dinnerware. A Limoges set that HotBride brought from Scotland, a set with thistles for the motif (flower of Scotland), some Polish china a friend gave her, a set of solid red Fiesta, a set of solid white plain heavy duty (for outdoor entertaining), then a yellow/orange set with bees, which she bought because she knew I like Napoleon, and Napoleon liked bees.
Anyway, last week she asked if she could get rid of the bee set, and I said, only if you get rid of the Polish china.
We are now down to four sets. I could live without the white, and use the red for everyday and outdoor.

Well, I do have window treatments that need to be hung in his office (Not a euphemism).

I like butter and salt on my potatoes!

Any puter guru’s out there? I have a pc that hasnt been updated since 14 when it was new. Suggestions? (Other than to get new PC) I have it connected to the net and it has been “checking for updates” for about 20 mins now.
Where’s Carin? There is a hilarious story on NPR about restaurants reverting back to tipping systems after trials of no tipping. The guys in the kitchen were delighted by their raises and there was no turnover. Wait staff applied, got trained and then bailed for restaurants that allowed tipping. They interviewed a guy who ran a place that changed and then reversed itself and asked him what they thought would make it work. They raised prices by 21% which was the average tip ad he thinks if they raise prices by 40% they’ll be all set.
Troy, what OS is it? WinXP is dead and it may never complete. Win7 is almost at end of life and it’s likely downloading win10 for your free “upgrade” to microsoft’s built-in spyware.

Set it on fire, and get a Mac.
I have a Bernie Sanders-themed version of Linux that is far superior to Windows or Apple.

My puter is about an 05 or 06 model. It gives me a message every time I open the browser that what I’m using is not supported any more. But it keeps chugging along as long as I use google chrome. If I try to use IE I’m fucked.

PD, how’s the hip? If fully functional are you getting exercise? Not a euphemism.
I run ubuntu, centos, and a win7 that will not be “upgraded” at home. When the win7 OS hits end of life, I’m planning to switch that to kali.
I’m in the Lynard Skynard stage of recovery. Gimme Three Steps to get the kinks out and I can walk normal. Have been walking a mile most evenings w my bride and mowing the lawn as needed. I went to the state track and field meet in Austin last week and walked a shitload. Up and down hills which we don’t have here.
I haven’t resumed the weight work and flexibility work since I got dismissed from PT but I need to start.
I also have a win8 gaming PC that I almost never use. I ought to sell it or repurpose it as a server or something.
Thinking I should just try to upgrade straight to win 10 then update vs. update, upgrade and update. Am I correct that win10 would supersede the need to update win 7 files? But then the question becomes “can I safely upgrade without having updated win 7 at any time?
And thanks for the assist Leon.
Sounds like progress, PD.
Going straight to win10 will eliminate the need for win7 updates, but I highly recommend searching out “how to make windows 10 not spy on me” tutorials thereafter. It sends a staggering amount of data back to Redmond by default.
This Pope needs to STFU and start studying the life and work of Pope John Paul II.
Mare, the pope is infallible. You are going straight to hell.
The pope is only infallible concerning certain matters, and the dumbass won’t stick to those matters.
He’s a South American Jesuit. Nothing good was going to come of this.
“I highly recommend searching out “how to make windows 10 not spy on me” tutorials”
Thanks, Leon.
I had no idea.
it’s going to be a long 6 months to election day.
music store owner and die-hard Trumpster has changed all of his ringtones on his blackberry to Trump soundbites.
He also tried to convince me that Trump taking $100million from Sheldon Adelson was not hypocritical in the least.
There is literally nothing Trump can do that a Trumpster cannot explain and defend.

Francis hits the right notes as a pastor, but he’s a shitty accountant and politician. He also gives me strange new respect for the Borgias.
Francis is the Peter Principle with a stole and mitre.
Wiser, read the comments.

which makes him different from your garden variety socialist how????
Wiser, read the comments.
Can’t, but I think we get way too paranoid about technology. Like the recent concern about Waze tracking my movements. Well duh. It’s a free GPS program that kinda needs to know where I am to do it’s job.
I’m really not all that concerned that someone knows where I am at any given moment.
I feel resigned, happy even, I’ve let it go, I’m giving up explaining to anyone why a Constitutional Conservative is what we’ve been waiting for and the fuckers in the GOP decided payback is a bitch and now we have Trump.
I’ve made my decision I’m voting for Trump. I’m NOT a Trumpster at all, but I will literally kill myself before my lack of vote contributes to a Hillary Presidency. She is truly one of the worst people in America.
1)Pedophiles
2)Hillary Clinton
(I was going to put Serial killers but no, there is a good argument that she is, “scam artists to the elderly” but no, Hillary is one of those. I was going to say “thieves” but no, Hillary is one of those. It goes on and on.)

he fights?
Well I could find no link to windows 10 update within the machine. What brought all this on is that the machine is acting wonky. I open a window but cant navigate through and icons (like select a excel workbook) without firing up task manager. Anyway, I backed up all the critical stuff and then told it to do the up date. Im currently at installation 32 of 162 updates downloaded. I figure it may be done in the AM when I return to work. (Its a work machine). After that I’ll see what I can do about win 10
If it looks like Hillary will lose after the convention, she’ll get “sick” and we’ll have president Biden with VP Mooch anyhow, so any talk of Trump is really just academic nonsense.
Oh sure, leon, make us sign up to read comments!
*puts on more tinfoil
I could have put “sex traffickers” but really Hillary’s policies in North Africa (or lack thereof) tells me, well, she pretty much is contributing to the trafficking of Christian (and other) girls.
She was the SoS FFS.
A friggen hashtag does shit. It’s an embarrassment.
Today was a learning experince for me. 56 & still learning shit. Whodathunkit?
I was talking w a bud about dog food prices and he says I need to go to Tractor Supply. They have big assed sacks for less. So I go but I end up in the wrong aisle. I’m evidently in the foo foo dog aisle. 24 lb bag of dry dog food for $56.99. I shit you not. I did some mental math and came up about $2.35 per pound. For fucking dog food. But hey, it was the whitefish and sweet potato blend. So totes worth it I’m sure.
I found the row for people whose dogs are just furry mammals to be kept as a companion and scored 50 lbs of kibbles and bits for $19.99.
Biden is a effing moron and a nasty mouth jerk toward conservatives but he is not Hillary Clinton.
To make matters worse, I haven’t had a glass of wine in 10 days. I’m trying to re-lose some weight and it pisses me off I see the same pounds a few times around. My workouts are excellent and varied. I’m hoping my insulin resistance from wine drinking will be knocked in the head.
I get paranoid about MS because no one outside their walls and NDAs can check the code, and they have a number of sweetheart deals with three-letter agencies. I don’t use GPS on any device with transmit capabilities, either.
That said, I know that my data – in particular – is interesting to nearly no one, all that’s cared about or even comprehensible to a data scientist is the aggregate. The day is rapidly approaching when the “in particular” data is accessible to an autonomous reasoner, possibly under control of an agency loyal to Empress Hillary, who will target me and those like me in some way for BadThink. Better for them to have little ammo on my history when that day arrives.
Plus, like Hotspur my drinking was a stupid habit that was just a huge calorie boondoggle.
If after 4 weeks of no drinking my weight is down I will try one or two glasses. We’ll see what happens.
Until then, apologies to everyone in advance.
Oh sure, leon, make us sign up to read comments!
I didn’t have to sign in to see them. Probably some other spycookie let me read them and in turn be read. Neat.
I was pleasantly surprised by the dog food prices at tractor supply PG. I got Rowan a giant bag of Iam’s kibble for dogs and a smaller bag of fat girl kibble for Star. The local grocery has them but they’re smaller and cost more
Tractor Supply used to be about 3 minutes from my house in Texas. Haven’t checked here.
They have dog treats like beef lung, bull dick and chicken feet too. Hell, I think they have tracheas too!
mmmmmm….tracheas.
There’s one on the outskirts of Bangor near my dentist and on the longer way to camp. I was killing time before the dentist one day recently and bought the kibble then. Now that I think of it there’s a Gifford’s ice cream stand on the other corner of the intersection too…hmm, dog food might be getting low
I was just flabbergasted that someone would pay $56.99 for 24# of dog food. My dogs a
Good Sumbitch but that ain’t happening.
Since it’s a poop blog, let’s enjoy Babies Making Poop Faces in Slow Motion.
Jay, that was really good.
I don’t think the government has the capability to watch everyone like a hawk, but if you pop up on their radar for some reason, I bet they can pull up quite a bit of phone/interweb/messaging/gps data on you.
I’m not worried about the three-letter-agencies. There are a lot of restrictions on what they can look at and who they can target. And quite frankly they don’t care about you or I.
Ever since I cut my drinking way back (2 glasses max) I feel better everyday, fall asleep faster, sleep better, wake up refreshed, and I’ve lost a couple of pounds.
At this rate, I’ll be forty in no time.
Hope it works for me, Hotspur!
Where has Jew been? How about Beassnsnsn?
I def sleep better when I don’t drink. That two glasses max shit is confusing though.
Conventional Wisdom is that Jew got eaten by a rogue sow. Haven’t heard a theory in beasn.
I basically quit drinking in 06. I rarely touch it now and never to excess. I only knew one way to drink at one point and that was to excess.
I’m a one, maybe two drink guy. I refuse to drink at all if I’m driving. I’ve seen too many other docs get busted for DUI. It’s got major repercussions for licensing. And forget about having a drink when on call…there’s no surer way to get called in then opening a beer.
I’m covered with garden dirt and I smell like a big hardworking man.
Laura is Michelle Obama?
They have dog treats like beef lung, bull dick and chicken feet too. Hell, I think they have tracheas too!
I’m on a diet you asshole.
It shows.
Looking good https://is.gd/rJsa2l
I’m down below 2 bills for the first time in a while. Doing the low carb thing, but I’m not getting any energy boost…still feel tired all the time, even though I sleep well. Haven’t quit mixed drinks, but I’ve curtailed them and I’m eating smaller portions.
Boy1 is obsessed with cookies…he wants to bake them every day. We call him Cookie Jesus. The only good part is he can’t follow a recipe so I’m told they usually turn out bad. I’m told.
If I EVER get a DUI call a great attorney because I’m going to sue thier asses off. I NEVER drive after drinking, not even 1/2 a glass. NEVER.
You always drive after drinking.
Huh?

I got pulled over for suspicion of DWI once. I refused the breathalyzer and I’m pretty sure I’d have beat it had I gone in for a blood test. Fortunately I had a couple of friends on the dept who got the rookie cop to simmer down a bit.
A) It’s good to have friends on the PD.
B) It ain’t a good idea to drive after drinking.
C) It won’t happen again.

You might have to cut wayyy back on the alcohol for a few weeks to get keto-adapted. I’ve found that necessary after Christmas.
Thanks, Jay.
No word on the job for Rocketboy. I really hope they just decided they needed another day and not picking someone else.
I’m a single parent this week, and I am tired.
Any time, roamy. There’s not many people that I’d post pictures of guys for.
You, and maybe leon.
I’m in HR limbo for the South Bend job, so I still don’t know if I’m about to plant someone else’s garden.
My bro lives in Ft. Wayne.
I lived in Goshen for a year. If I get this I’ll probably move to Edwardsburg.
Milford is nice. That’s my Dad’s home town. I hear they have a second stop light now.
I hear Gary is nice.
Gary hangs out behind the bowling alley.
Oh, I won’t be living in Indiana, just working there.
Is living in Indiana kinda like the midwest version of living in Oklahoma?
No, that’d be Kentucky. IN is pretty normal, but obeys corn in all things.
Oklahoma’s pretty normal compared to Arkansas. I’m told.
Gary is the reason IN is a Rust Belt state. Gary makes/made the steel for the cars built in Detroit for half a century or so. It fell apart for the same reasons Detroit did, but has the added penalty of being next door to Chicago. The rest of IN is as much like Gary as the rest of MI is like Detroit and Flint.
Gary is a garden spot!
Indianal.
I drove through Gary on my way from Chitown to South Bend and back last fall. It looks a bit run down…..at least from the freeway. We didn’t stop.
Don’t stop in Gary after dark. Or Detroit.
And don’t even go near Flint. There’s no good reason to ever be in Flint.
At this point, I’d say it’s less than 50/50 that I’ll ever step foot in MI. No offense, I just foresee my traveling fundage being spent in the south and southwest. With a little Cancun or Playa del Carmen thrown in on occasion.
That’s fair, though Mackinac in late summer is amazingly beautiful.
I went to my wife’s 30th HS reunion in 09. One of her HS classmates (we grew up in towns 30 miles apart) was married to a guy I went to HS with who was a class ahead of me. I hadn’t seen him since college. He told me they were leaving Tulsa OK and moving to Grand Rapids, MI. He does something in the computer industry, not sure what.
I kinda laughingly said, “You realize that everybody in MI is trying to get the fuck out of there as fast as they can, right?” He assured me that he knew what he was doing and walked off. I think he thought I was a boor. Quite possibly he was right on that night. But he was always a bit of a prick.
Grand Rapids is doing very well these days, and is solidly red counties in elections. Holland area, too. Company over there had one of the earliest white-light LEDs.
Bedtime.
I love Michigan. Everyone else should stay out. TIA.
And don’t even go near Flint. There’s no good reason to ever be in Flint.
A buddy of mine was an infantry officer with two tours. He says the closest he ever came to getting shot was outside a White Castle in Flint.
It’s because they have a Republican governor. I read that shit in the NYT or WaPo or somewhere. So it’s got to be legit.
Beasnette graduated. Beasn has been busy. Today is the 26th Anniversary of me pissing Dan off. I was drinking margs with my dad and Maid of Honor. Showed up at reception hall to move tables and set up chairs…too buzzed to be much help. Foreshadowing. This is the anniversary we celebrate. 😂😂😂
Happy Anniversary, Oso and Dan!
Thanks TiFW.
We pay a little over 40$ for a 20# bag of dogfood. MA has GI issues that require a specialty dogfood. She’s lost 3# since Gingy died. Still overweight.
Almost time to own the comments. Or go to bed.
I donated my Japanese china to the church for a fundraiser. My Polish china went to my mom. I still have my Christmas Lenox and my wedding pattern. Every day is Fiesta in different colors, divided plates both rec and circle, 2 patterns.
Isn’t life under the sun just a crazy, crazy, crazy dream?
