Yeah... I just looked at egg cartons even a weeks old and it says June 6th... Eggs last along time and actually better if not that new (what I recall reading somewhere). Just so you know. I am giving you 250 "adversity points" for this post. Hope it takes you to the next level! NOW, we just gotta find a way to spot the Sabres to a 3 goal lead and Bills 17 (28 against the Cheaters in Foxborough).?

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine Selling little bottles of love potion number nine I told her that I was a flop with chics I've been this way since 1956 She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign She said "What you need is love potion number nine" She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink" It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissing everything in sight But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink I didn't know if it was day or night I started kissing everything in sight But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine Love potion number nine Love Potion number nine Love Potion number nine

Really. How long do you boil? Solid 12 minutes in a rolling boil? Then immediately take out and cool in the refrigerator. Yeah, fresher is a little harder... But usually there is a void at tip, peels right off. Right away peeled, even easier under cold running water.

We had slot cars too. Gotta try and beat the train crossing. You may wanna rethink that... Great inspiration is here. LoL Now... Modern model trains have "speed control" = sorta lame.

I thought Electric football sucks too... Look at this wise-ass kid: We had HO trains: (not exact, but had a mountain)

It's outside the tailgate/game. Who cares if you lay waste to @Hammered a Lot's pota-potty... I think the company condems them anyway after each game. ? Just ask @mead107 for the key to the executive washrooms. ?

Well, we know where the problem is. ?May I recommend systemic desensitization. If you come to a tailgate, I will bring egg salad, made with Weber's mustard. You love Weber's mustard, right? What could be so bad? ?

They must like marbles. Down South it's 10 year olds with marbles. The southern towboat pilots call on the radio @ work. It's bruutal... Slow and lazy too! In their defence, it's gotta be pretty bad for them... Talk a mile a minute and nasally up north. They do make these: For these:

He got old? Pushing 70.

FWIW: Vehicles today are the heaviest they have ever been (on average). Hard to believe with all those past land yachts on the road. Cars are fatter, heavier, wider. Just NOT longer. Take a look at an old car by a newer one... Even the small ones today are much bigger, heavier. It's a progression, no doubt. https://slate.com/business/2011/06/american-cars-are-getting-heavier-and-heavier-is-that-dangerous.html "Like Americans themselves, American cars are getting heavier and heavier every year. Our new cars are more efficient, with average fuel economy climbing and carbon-dioxide emissions falling over the course of the past 30 years. But that is not because they are lighter. The average new car weighed 3,221 pounds in 1987 but 4,009 pounds in 2010. Even small-size sedans have packed on the pounds, thanks to more-powerful—if more-efficient—engines, as well as features like nicer seats, more safety features, and more legroom."

Anyway they are, I like them. Eggs=delish. Not fussy. Sure!

Ah... Nobody will find out. There are privacy laws to hide behind.

I know it exists. Why would they change it, they'd be fools to.

We just put a cat down... Was feeling bad because he was only 10 years old. Grumpy cat was only 7. I don't feel so grumpy after all. Thanks Grumpy Cat!

Mystery achievement Don't breathe down my neck no I got no trophies on display I sign them away I mean what the heck All of your promises Don't fill me with pride no I just wanna get out on the floor And do the Cuban slide, slide, slide, slide But every day, every nighttime I find Mystery achievement You're on my mind And every day, every nighttime I feel Mystery achievement you're so unreal Mystery achievement Where's my sandy beach? Yeah I had my dreams like everybody else But they're out of reach I said right out of reach I could ignore you Your demands are unending I got no tears on my ice cream but you know me I love pretending But every day, every nighttime I find Mystery achievement You're on my mind And every day, every nighttime I feel Mystery achievement you're so unreal

Agree. Fair enough. "Food deserts" exist. But people don't even try...

This is ridiculous. WTF... Where? Not here... And I am around/in dirt poor districts. Fat azzes everywhere...

Or: "How to avoid a shadow in non-flash photography."

Can you use secondary lighting so it doesnt create a shadow? Don't use overhead lighting. My bank app works well. I never really noticed a flash. Use a light background. How about just holding a normal flashlight? So many ways to avoid shadows.

(I am) not a Stones guy... But this by far is my favorite! On Tattoo You but written years earlier for Goats Head Soup, 10 years earlier... But they still had Mick Taylor. Just NO dancing please Mick! [SORRY FOR THE SIDEBAR] My lyrical repsonse to last post: There is no political solution To our troubled evolution Have no faith in constitution There is no bloody revolution We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Our so-called leaders speak With words they try to jail you They subjugate the meek But it's the rhetoric of failure We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Where does the answer lie? Living from day to day If it's something we can't buy There must be another way We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world

Eclectic taste. I mean, I don't mind The Stones songs, not my first choice though. To each their own, but I always thought the Stones, as a big stadium act were sell outs. Overrated. Sure, many sell out, the Stones have to be the worst @ it. Commercial success that they are. (I am) Just not into the whole big commercial acts... And prancing around on stage doesn't do it for me. I guess it's different for females. My wife and her sisters are reliving their youth and seeing them in Foxborough I believe. Chicks like that kinda thing. We went to Dead & Company last year @ Alpine Valley, WI. I just don't get the jumping around on stage bit. I guess people like that, makes them feel good to see senior citizens trying to relive their youth with youthful antics. For me, just play music. Again, to each their own.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed And then I tell her, as I turn out the light I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

I lived in a place called Okfuskee And I had a little girl in a holler tree I said, "little girl, it's plain to see Ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me" She said, "it's hard for me to see How one little boy got so ugly" Yes, my little girly, that might be But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key There ain't nobody that can sing like me We walked down by the Buckeye Creek To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee To hear the west wind whistle to the east There ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me Oh, my little girly, will you let me see Way over yonder where the wind blows free? Nobody can see in our holler tree And there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key There ain't nobody that can sing like me Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree And laid it on the she and me It stung lots worse than a hive of bees But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me Now I've walked a long long ways Still look back to my Tanglewood days I've led lots of girls since then to stray Saying ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key Ain't nobody that can sing like me Way over yonder in the minor key Way over yonder in the minor key Ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me
