The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

The internet kept giving out.

I unplugged the cord and blew in the holes it connects in.

A bug came running out.

Weird reason to have internet troubles.

That's why they call things not working "bugs"

In 1947, engineers working on the Mark II computer at Harvard University found a moth stuck in one of the components. They taped the insect in their logbook and labeled it "first actual case of bug being found." The words "bug" and "debug" soon became a standard part of the language of computer programmers.​

I struggle to communicate with non-weirdos.

I talk with you guys fine.

You're all a bunch of weirdos.

Normal people are scary. They're supposed to be normal, but they're some of the most dysfunctional people I've met. And they don't know it, unlike wierdos who do know they're wierd.

I still remember the "normal" middle class wankers I worked with as the overworked case manager doint mostly social work. They have unhealthy and destructive obsessions with image. Like one coworker complaining of all the money she spends getting her car detail cleaned. And it's excessive and unnecessary. It's all for her. The kids, parents and foster parents, they don't care as long as the kids aren't getting into a mess.
Amd being that finicky over petty stuff, unfortunately the destruction damages clients as well.
Nasty, spiteful, mean, stupid, racist, not really caring or listening "normal" people.

Mr Rogers was well known in the Squirrel
Hill area of Pittsburgh. You've never spent
time there? How provincial.

Ball State was also where a lot of his earlier stuff was taped.

They just haven't accepted their weird yet.

It has to be painful.

Oh, believe me it totally sucks to be normal.

I have a normal cousin.

 

[Kathryn]

I have a normal cousin.

I don't think I have any normal cousins.

 

[JustGeorge]

I have a normal cousin.

I have to see it to believe it.

Quoting Mae West.

Given my age and the age of many of my friends, I can attest to that being very true. Some, of course, are old before their time because they have bodies that don't cooperate. But old comes for everyone who survives long enough.

Someone I knew who had a musical background referred to getting together with friends as a time for an "organ recital" - talking about bodily organs/bones/muscles/etc that are causing problems.

And I find stories from those who have lived to 100 to be fascinating reading because, of course, I've got a little of the Ponce de Leon in me.

A yellow leaf falls...

This is too early for this nonsense.

My wife's post cataract surgery drop regimen is three drops 4 times a day: one antibiotic, one anti-itch and one cortisone anti-itch and more. Her aim is getting better.

I agree this thread should be politics free unless of course you all agree with me on political matters.
