Same man, same. Have still got long covid stuff going on that is not nice, 2.5 months later

sorry to hear that, hope you get over it soon.

The only thing I have is this overwhelming attack of sleepiness after lunch

oh look....style bashing...... I'd report it, if I didn't see it way to often.... unless I misunderstand referring to a style as lies...

nuff for now, just shake mystery head and log off

She chose it because it's a Mexican name for a Mexican spider, and because Rosita is, obviously, a red reference.

I suggested Jesus, because there are certain people who, if she shows it to them, are going to scream "Jesus! What hellspawn is that???"

And it's still a Mexican name. You can say "Actually it's pronounced hay-soos(jesus)"

You know, I did not even know this was possible, but leave it to me to do it......I sprained my clavicle....

Had a shoulder problem after Florida/Disney with the family. Ended up with a cortisone shot, went back much of the shoulder is better, but the clavicle near my neck has been hurting off an on...MD checked and I have a sprained clavicle....

Wow, don't look in for a bit, and what I get? Confusion! All sorts of talk about spastic dances (tarantellas) and arachnids...

over the years here on MT I am amazed at how hard some people go on because they so desperately have to be right...... even when you agree with them...they go on and on and on in an effort to be more right.... and I know...early on here on MT.... I may have been one of them....

I had a voice discussion with somebody yesterday.
I was accused of yelling at the same time this person talked over me.
Being angry
Hating....
But mostly how everybody was yelling and the poor person.
It made clear how different perspectives color an exchange.

I managed to soften the blow, did great, the half a bottle of red Moscato probably helped.
but yeah also somebody who needs to be right all the time and isn't very observant about how they come across or how other people feel.
made me wonder how they make it in real life, in a long Army career.

In their defense, that one other person was indeed a jerk.
Didn't care too much for their behavior either.
(and I did make allowances for my own behavior of which I wasn't altogether proud either)

saw a 4 door Jeep driving down the highway last Monday..... and it had what looked to be a Torpedo on teh roof

It looked a lot like this, but half the size

I'm hoping it was a novelty Luggage carrier..... and he was heading towards Canada.

They must'a had some of those aforementioned tarantulas in their area...

...... they've got the right idea.

Did it look similar to this: Vantech Black 6"x 128" Conduit Carrier for H1-Series Model CC-104BDefault Title ? I see a lot of Jeepers use these to store their extrication equipment. It is stored high so they can ge to it if the Jeep gets stuck.

No, it looked exactly like the torpedo I have in the picture, just about half the size in length, but not in diameter. It was roughly the same diameter

That is not the reason they put stuff on top. If you can't get to the interior, you're not getting unstuck anyway.

So my granddaughter sent me a video. Lunchtime for her new pet. Watch it full screen for best effect...

Been reading a few posts of a poster who tends to be frustrating in the posts they make. So instead of breaking MT rules and simply posting "nitwit"... I think I'll log off and go do something else

Correction. Put my first user on ignore since becoming a mod here, 5 years ago.
