Just got off a Google Team call with a guy who may be hiring me to develop a series. Asked if I had Grandchildren.
It's bourbon time.

Is it going to be a huge success for the youth market? Can I get the exclusive licensing rights early and cheap?
alternatively can I license you my NIL for a quick pay day?
Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Pruitt I hope you went with a bourbon younger than you are, don't want to blow through that advance!
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I donated blood yesterday, and they measured my height for some reason, which came in at 5’10”. Same thing at the doctor’s office a month ago.
I was 5’11 1/2” for most of my adult life. But, now in my sixties, I appear to be shrinking. Feck.

The KMOX clip is incredible.
Like, they could've made it shitty by playing Hello Darkness or something, but the way he just straight-shoot reports it is just amazing.

If he spoke a little slower, it sounded like an episode of Joe Pera Explains. It seemed like a parody of Pera at times (proud to not go for the pun there).Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 2:34 pm The KMOX clip is incredible.

I can’t speak for everyone with clinical depression, but whenever I hear people talk about Seasonal Affective Disorder I’m always like “Awww, does someone need sunlight? Psshh. Amateurs.”

I agree. I’ll admit it’s not an issue I’m familiar with, but if somebody is struggling for any reason, don’t you think empathy is a better reaction than disdain?

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
Wait a minute. I was just cracking wise. I was saying more along the lines that I have clinical depression, so I tend to look Seasonal Affective Disorder as a significant mood disorder, on a lesser level of CD. I’m not saying it’s not a thing, it most certainly is. SAD certainly sucks.
The way I put it was pretty shitty, and even though I wasn’t trying to put anyone down, it clearly did. I’m sorry, I meant no harm but I realized it did.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I have had a bad habit of cracking my knuckles way too much for just about as long as I can remember. I know they say that doesn't really cause arthritis and whatnot, but my hands have been kind of constantly hurting for a while so I am trying to cut back on the knuckle popping. It's a hard habit to break, and may not even help. Hoping it's psychosomatic and I at least think it helps.

Re: Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old thread
I just walked down to RiteAid to pick up a month's supply of Tenoretic (Atenolol-Chrlorthalidone 5025). I was instructed to break four of them in half and only take half a pill for the first 8 days. Apparently it makes you lightheaded. I ordered a BP cuff off Amazon that should be here over the weekend. It connects to my iHealth app, though I might disconnect that and track it in a workbook.sancarlos wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 12:01 amWelcome to the club boys.

I'm supposed to up my walking game to 7k steps a day. I'm game for that. I'm nerdy enough to track that, too.

Back at the gym for the first time in two years.
The Fitness Assessment was officially fine, but having a gorgeous 40 year old trainer tell me that "actually" I wasn't doing as badly as I thought in a tone that she probably uses trying to get her Grandmother to take her medicine didn't do much for my ego.

I now understand why college is so expensive. The volume of brochures my son receives every day in the mail is insane. I'm sure he doesn't even look at them before throwing them in the trash.

Colleges pay between $0.30 and $0.55 per lead to the College Board based on some research I have done in the past. My son is 1st year in high school and getting hammered (mostly by email) by several non-selective VA schools.rass wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 5:15 pmYeah, the bulk of them have been dumped.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 5:00 pmI now understand why college is so expensive.
