i have a squeaky mouse toy lost in the house.

It squeaks everytime I walk and when a train or car passes. I have a significant hearing loss in one ear. I cannot triangulate to find it. My furry little bastard cats know where it is located. But they just stare at me with detached amusement as I flail about uselessly.
What a great bunch of cats! That is why I love them.

Caught a mess of catfish?

Chop off the tails about 2 inches up and hang them tail end down. They will bleed out in 15 minutes or so. If you do not do this they can live for many hours.

Saw a thread recently about songs we wanted at our funeral.

Couldn't find it again. Here's mine. Holiday in Spain. By Counting Crows.


Anyone else want to glom on?

Waldorf salad with chicken

https://cookingwithpoints.com/healthy-waldorf-chicken- salad
Got some waldorf chicken salad from the deli that was expensive and underwhelming. Here is an easy to make and much cheaper alternative that is delicious and perfectly balanced. I did not change a thing. I recommend eating it on a hoagie.

I have seen many learned articles concerning Trump"s speaking style..

They go into great detail about techniques and oratory persuasion as if Trump is on par with MLK or any of the great speakers of history. But , like all things Trump, the truth of the matter is simple to the point of stupidity.
The truth is right there for the experts to see, but they are assuming that there is a depth to the man that simply does not exist.
I call bullshit on all the tedious analysis.
Two things: Vince McMahon and WWE.
The parallels between what he says and the bluster of wrestlers from the 80s and 90s is amazing. The flipflops are just the heel turns used in wrestling to manipulate the emotions of the fans. The crude ethnic stereotypes.....check!
The denigration of women.....check!
The name calling.....check!
The rampant drug abuse *sniff sniff*....big ol" check...
One might imagine that at some point Trump was involved in WWE and his storyline fed his ego to such a degree that he became a cartoon of himself..holy shit....check!
His speaking style is nothing more than Vince McMahon's rabble rousing.
Trump thinks the WWE is real.
He doesn't want to be Putin. He wants to be McMahon.
Vince McMahon's catchphrase was "You're fired!" long before the Apprentice.
I rest my case.

Try not to laugh

My mom didn't like my report card. I said "Okay."
She said "I want more A's".
I said "OkAAAAAAAAAAy!"

Sometimes DU is so Debbie Downer

If Trump and all the reps resigned there would be folks lamenting about something. "But now the Pedophilia Party will get traction! Oh, the humanity! "
Progress is not steady but it is inexorable. Look at the big picture. Much has been won in the past 50 years. Chin up and trudge onward. The future is ours.

Under Cover Boss.

Why does this show make me want to choke slam the featured CEOs? Far be it from me to discourage them from doing good but it just rings a bit off to me. My souls screams for them to take their sanctimonious, guilt assuaging, condescending and breadcrumb distributing gestures and shove them up their asses. Good workers facing hard times are not the exception. They are the rule.
And you,Under Cover Boss, may fuck off.
