I’m watching The Nightmare Before Christmas and I have decided that I want to be the Mayor driving through town screeching “Terrible news!” through a loudspeaker.

We are re watching Babylon 5 (as we do periodically), and I just want it to be known that I too want my clearance level to be ultraviolet alpha. It would make me feel important.

Y’all please remember when you reach a Certain Age, you should periodically get down on the floor to see if you can get back up again independently, and have a plan for what to do if you can’t. That age might be younger than you think.

Overheard at work Resident to med student “It’s important to look at your own MRI images and then ask an adult for help”. Louder, “Nurse, can you look at this with me?”

My (current) old person rant is that the local news website should never have videos that auto play or ads that pop up in the middle of the thing you are trying to read.

Why do u always get the same size or bigger when u become a werewolf? what if u got smaller. what if u became a dachshund

I dreamed last night that everyone had one ordinary thing that they could use as a superpower (kind of like the old movie Mystery Men) and mine was “The De-escalator” where I could basically calm down any conflict. Instead of using this for the greater good I used it to be left TF alone.

Somehow I have ended up at a karaoke bar and have been signed up to sing. I cannot carry a tune in a bucket.

Ok y’all - what should I give my son as basic kitchen supplies for his new apartment? I’m not talking about plates and cups, but the basic set up to cook a few easy meals. He will get my old pots and pans but has literally nothing else.

If I have learned anything from medical waiting rooms, it’s that 75% of people don’t believe in headphones or earbuds and of that group 90% completely lack situational awareness.

My son went to his Alma Mater’s college football game last night who was playing against a team from Louisiana. My son, much like his uncle, had never met a stranger and spent the game talking to the family next to him in the stadium who was from Louisiana.

At the end of the game the family invited him back to their tailgate and fed him his first ever Jambalaya. Friends, this food was apparently so life changing that he called me from the tailgate to ask why I have never made this for him. They were so amused they sent him home with a recipe.

I just had a 10 minute conversation with my adult son about the top 5 muppets we think would win in a fight, muppet power rankings, and which ones we wanted to see in the WWE.

“I’d rather stab my own eyes out with my scissors than be on another committee” was probably not the answer my employer was expecting, but I guess my eyes are in danger because it wasnt optional.

I guess it’s time for the fall German Shepard coat blow: when you vacuum after the roomba runs because all Mo the roomba does is clump up the dog hair and generate tumbleweeds.

Well I didn’t have buy a new dishwasher on my bingo card for this week, but at least they are on sale due to the Labor Day weekend?

Goose had an unintentional outdoor adventure last night when one of my son’s friends didn’t notice her slip out the door with him. I am happy to report that she is safe and well - she hid until we realized she was missing and seems none the worse for wear. I was frantic.

Dolly never told me that in my 50’s that cup of ambition was going to contribute to anxiety, insomnia and acid reflux.

We are going to do a genetic test for Goose to see if she is really part Bengal, but she can’t eat for 2 hours before we swab her and she is convinced she is going to perish.

One of the weirdest thoughts I have happens when I wash my work socks (which are all the same color and style) and I pair them up for the week. I am always worried that the socks I pair together don’t like each other.

Goose the kitten had a checkup at the vet today. She weighed in at 2.8kg (6.1 lbs) and the vet said she was either much older than the rescue said or she is going to be a big girl. She was curious, friendly and the best baby.

Everyone should have a group chat where your friends send pictures of interesting bugs, their cats, dogs they meet and Halloween decoration sales.
