Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Glad to see I’m not the only one who has a dumb thought (ie: greatest of all time cheese) and then googles to see who beat me to it.
Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I just found out a hot neighbor of ours is literally 15 years older than I thought she was. I figured 36 and she’s 51. Her husband is only 5 years older than I thought (44 to 49). Mind is truly fucking blown.

Does anyone shut up and do it anymore? Always with the why and here's my thoughts. Just do it. Bitch and complain and offer alternatives for next time once it's done.
And no more answering questions with questions.
I know I've gotten cranky but patience is very very low. Old people and young people dont mix.

Those videos on Instagram where they put two or more blotches of paint and then mix them together in high-speed with a painting knife to make a new color. I can watch that shit for 30 minutes easy, completely sober. I now understand the appeal of AMSR.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
If anyone had The Weather Channel on this morning and there was a guest from the New Mexico tourism dept pimping the state that was my sister.
Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
NEW MEXICO TRUE.
What part of the state was she talking about? I love New Mexico.

I haven't seen the clip yet but I believe she was just talking about activities/places to go during winter.
Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
If you ranked the 19(?) states I haven't been to by how much I'd like to relative to their general hype level, New Mexico might be #1.

Did a swing through Santa Fe with a side trip to Taos. Absolutely loved it.

Ended up at a fall festival in Carson ('town' of general store, post office, fire dept) which consisted of just a bunch of off-gridders and earth-shippers. Lots of folk who doubtfully have both running water + electricity (although solar is big down there, for those who have the means). Pretty wild and sobering tbh.

I was too much of a dumb teenager to appreciate living there for High School...but since my parents moved, I definitely miss having a reason to spend time there.
Rancho De Chimayo is one of my favorite places on the planet.

That's awesome. My father would always say "oh, I shouldn't get the adovada...it's not good for me"...and then he'd order it and sit there with beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.Giff wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 1:58 pmI have an awesome picture of my Dad and I there after inhaling some carne adovada.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 1:50 pmI was too much of a dumb teenager to appreciate living there for High School...but since my parents moved, I definitely miss having a reason to spend time there.

Just had a document come through notarized by Thinh Dong.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I read initially that as Thinh Dogg and imagined the late Nate Dogg’s more slender younger brother.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Looked at the roster for the team my daughter played today and saw a girl with the last name “Maga.” I I think I would have had my name legally changed by 2017. Imagine having your kid wearing jackets/warmups with that name on it?

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I think the attention paid to this super bowl by girls between the ages of 9 and 12 who live in my house is all we need to know about her level of stardom. Its absolutely unparalleled. I'm pretty sure the ratings jump from "no halftime show" to "Michael Jackson performs live" was still lower than "Taylor Swift is attending this game".

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Since we are discussing anecdotal evidence, my daughter's Spanish teacher had a contest where each class had to guess how many times Taylor Swift was shown during the Super Bowl, and the closest team got bonus points on their total grade.mister d wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 1:42 pm I think the attention paid to this super bowl by girls between the ages of 9 and 12 who live in my house is all we need to know about her level of stardom.

Kind of off the subject, but when I was that age, I had my 7 multiples down cold right away, because I was a little football nerd.

I just spent 10 minutes trying to place "exaggerated double wink in a movie or TV show that I know I've seen several times" but where it took me a while to see the face.
