Little known fact - those are the original lyrics to Purple Haze - "S'cuse me while I get brisket faced...(baddada badadi badadi)"

Sorry, did I sound po'd or something? Don't think my Dad's DeSoto had seatbelts.

We were tougher back then, zeni. Our playground slides were metal, jungle gyms had exposed bolt heads & nuts, most playgrounds were built on concrete or asphalt. We had lead in our paint, our water pipes and our gasoline. That which did not kill us, only made us stronger... However, what it did to the genes we contributed to our descendants...eating Tide Pods??? Seriously? You kids ain't right.

Hey, it worked! I'm still here & it was by Dr.'s orders. Probably more responsible than handing out opioids or 90% of the stuff advertised on TV (the commercials that are immediately followed by a commercial for an attorney suing the pharma because of the side effects of the drug on the previous commercial)...way, way cheaper too.

You have electrical powers, but it's just stock in Com Ed and PG&E. I want the power to stop world hunger.

But I already have that when I ingest fructose.

You have the power to be invisible, but only to the people you love. I want the power of having no superpowers whatsoever.

Years ago (1981), this goofy movie came out that helped to start the Nostradamus craze. It was called "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" and was narrated by Orson Wells, giving it some air of credibility. In the movie, there was this ridiculous scene of household appliances attacking humans. I think that one of the things was that the guy's tie got caught in the blender. Really wacky stuff, presumably based upon one of MdN's quatrains. Very far fetched. Just read another article today about a young family that got hacked through their smart thermostat (didn't use 2 factor) and all their smart stuff in the house was compromised. They caught on because they heard a man's voice in their baby's room. The father ran up there & looked around but found nothing. He took his kid downstairs, then found the thermostat had been turned to 90F. Then they heard a voice in the basement. The guy was now talking directly to the man, threatening him, using racial slurs & profanity. Using the families smart cams, he could see exactly what they were doing as well, wherever a cam was. They've got the authorities investigating. Weird that something that was sooo off the wall (appliances attacking humans, well before the internet became public) is now perfectly feasible. EDIT - Right after posting this, my internet went down. Creepy.

The upper .5% can afford tax advisors & tax attorneys & tax shelters....

As an infant, I had colic. The picture is a more involved recipe than my Dr. had prescribed. Drop the Lemon Juice and Honey. One time, my Mom forgot and gave me a second dose...I was plastered before I was 1 yr. old! My Dad said he smacked my butt & I just laughed.

Probably playing with his Alpha Bits.

Bring it

I thought it was by 2023. Whatever - I'm worried about what will happen to small businesses. Will storefront places with just a handful of employees have to let people go, cut hours or just outright fold? But I also understand the other side of the argument. I expect that companies will become even more stringent about employees following corporate rules or being fired.

Even my state was way more than that. BTW - I also closed my "brick & mortar" bank accounts and moved to an online one. Why get only .01% APY when I could be getting over 2% APY.? Check out Bankrate.com.

My Fed refund's been in the bank for about 4 days now.

I think you misheard - it was probably "Sonic eatin' Cicely Tyson".

No, send it to Chris Hansen. Oh, wait...
