Just A Friend - Biz Markie

...
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got onstage drippin', pourin' with sweat
I was walkin' through the crowd and gues who I met
I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said, "How do you like the show?"
She said, "I was very amused"

It is a cry for help.

I've recently read it isn't going so well for them. People aren't being diverted to rehab as much anymore. The country is attracting addicts that want to get high with no repercussions.

Sounds like union territory. Which IBEW local is that?

I've got three dogs and get it. One dog is very old and needs special attention. Another is very young needing different attention.

When there is something wrong in my head their normal stuff annoys me. I try to remember they are being normal and it is I that is different.

Keep your stick on the ice

You sound Canadian.

I've checked a few times since using them and they are always out. They used to have a listing for Pro as well but that is gone.

I used The Swap Club to replace my wife's AirPods about six months ago but since then they always seem sold out.

Clean paper and cardboard are easily recyclable and worth money. I first figured this out over 30 years ago while taking commuter trains into NYC.

There were approximately one yard cubed wagons left on the platform to discard your already read newspapers for recycling. Local hustlers would often reassemble the papers and sell for half.

At some point locking tops eere put on so it was difficult to remove the papers. This was because the agency collecting the old newspaper was making money from it.

Fast forward. Some cities make it a crime to rummage through the recycling bins.

There is money there.

 
 

Not best friends, not worst enemies.

 

A couple of weeks ago I detailed how I was letting my grass do whatever it wanted until I found the foxtails were taking over.

I took alergy pills for three days straight and was able to cut the grass and rake it without an allergy attack.

I'm slowly adding natives in between my indoor projects.

 

Who knew the app was so bad?

 

Android - I like Fedilab but it deleted my username/pw on upgrade. I have Tusky as a backup.

 

I've basically been letting the grass in my back yard grow all spring. Cut some paths through so my small dogs could easily navigate and small patch for my senior dog.

Then I saw the foxtails I thought I had killed were back. I started cutting the grass so I could get better access to the foxtails and my allergies went crazy. Instant runny nose, eyes burning, etc.

This has really dampened my enthusiasm. (/rant

 

It really started for me when I got divorced and went bankrupt. There was no way to spend on frivolous things.

What about you?
