Dr. Worm?

He’s not a real doctor. but he is a real worm. He is an actual worm.

My dog. Especially when I haven’t seen him all day, but then he catches sight of me (he doesn’t hear so well now). And he kind of goes crazy as we have this greeting and roughhousing thing that he loves.

It was that era when so many book covers had a design sensibility that implied everyone must be tripping.

This may be an unpopular method, but we like it. We’ll just get a turkey breast or rarely a whole bird and cook it in a bag with a little broth, spices -usually garlic, pepper and lots of paprika. Punch a couple holes in the top of the bag and cook at 325-350F. Nice to have meat we can stretch into many meals over a couple weeks.

Read that as a Jeopardy response for some reason.

Yeah! I’ve got several. Broadens the selection nicely. Also, my local library doesn’t have Hoopla, but the larger city in a nearby state does and was very cool about letting me get a card since I live in the boonies.

Is that a strip of LED’s on the edge of their desk? What is the purpose of lighting one’s belly? No judgement. Just curious.

Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle might not explain it, but could add valuable context.

No. That is Gordon Froman, Sausage king of Chicago.

Monty Python has led me to expect Spam.

“Baked beans are off.” “Could I have Spam instead…”

I have a 14 year old laptop running Linux Mint that I use daily. Sure, it’s had the HD and the battery replaced, but it’s still fine for most tasks. An SSD really improved performance.

He is NOT getting better on the drums.

I feel like this might be an homage to the old online comic Minus.

Our water heater went out and I replaced it. After a series of complications, it’s working properly!

I can’t quite see the skin. Maybe it’s a carefully scooped out avo half? I’m just wishfully speculating here.

Believe if it was only now that the revelation that cigarettes cause cancer was in progress, there would be a large, confident contingent of folks swearing they’re actually great for you led by the likes of RFK Jr.

Lugosi? Fleck? Bartok? Enquiring minds want to know…

This is a pretty subjective question, but I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s perspectives on it. I love dogs and have had a bunch over my life so far. I’d answer a certain kind of dog. A dog that has good engagement with you. These are rare but when you have one it’s special. Some dogs will often look right at you and have a certain focus and awareness that translates into a more interactive relationship than some other dogs. And yeah, there are ways to promote this through training, but some dogs are just more organically predisposed to being your very good buddy. Those have honestly been the very best pets for me.

Pressure cooker. Lets you cook a lot of cheaper, bulk food faster.

A quality double-sided safety razor. Saves a ton on cartridges. About as easy to use once you get used to it.
