Last Person #5

[Xue Sheng]

My wife was changing clothes in our bedroom this morning, when she yelled my name. There was a drone watching her. A fairly elaborate one.
(We live on a small farm, sparsely residential adjoining properties.)

My wife was not pleased. Then, mysteriously, something happened to said drone. It must have fallen down, gone boom. Apparently, several neighbors, having had the same problem, called the police, for the cops came walking through the farm an hour later, investigating. Me, I was at the dump when they came. Could have sworn I saw techno parts and rotors strewn throughout the dump. Must be a coincidental Christmas thing. Or maybe aliens.

It was the Russians, they did it...see

Odd coincidence, that. I hear a lot of owners lose control and crash them at the dump.

Thanks, Xue. Fever is up a bit, but I'm already feeling a little better. I can eat now!

Spoke too soon. Fever back over 100F (~38C), and the chills are back. Was only able to eat a few hundred calories today. Time to include a physician if this doesn't clear up entirely by the morning.

late for work this morning - made up most of the time by skipping
lunch but will probably still hear about it tomorrow..

Hope the MD can help and hope you feel better soon

Relaized something this morning.....

My oldest (the college man) has dyed his hair to blonde, grew it longer, and now has it all in a man bun...I have not said anything, and I likely will not...but damn I hate that and think he needs a haircut....

This thought lead to my realization this morning...and speaking as one who had hair half way down his back at that age .......damn I'm old

I don't think it's a function of age. The man bun and a man in skinny jeans just don't look right. I think so. Sue thinks so. Our daughters (who range from 23 to 40) think so. Our sons thing so too.

You're raising old kids, DD.

Well you tagged him....man bun...skinny jeans....and I think he is taller than me now...... It just ain't right........ or..... I'm old

Why can't it be both?

But you didn't have a man bun. You proudly showed your long hair...

Man buns are stupid!

When I see a man in skinny jeans, I want to tell him "Dude... that isn't what getting in her pants means..."

Why did it take me so long to watch Bobs Burgers. That is among the funniest shows I've ever seen.

Crap. Now I have to know. I've managed to avoid adding it to my "need to see this" list. Damn you, Steve.

Talking with a woman at work yesterday about this..... her belief is that a man bun and skinny jeans is not the way to attract college age girls..... it is however a way to repel them

Seriously, though, since when have most young men had any real idea of how to attract young women?

I did. I was so cool...

Oh wait, no.... I was a giant geek.

I didn't even try, I went straight for the biker look and kept it until I hit my late 20s

OK, then it didn't happen...and for that matter... I don't exist
