I was in a doctor's office last week that had a tip jar for the nurses.

Good lord. Whose idea was that?

I think I want to start carring a little card scanner/Square thing and start asking vendors to tip me as a customer. "Did you enjoy having me purchase from you?" Tips are appreciated!

I really hope this gets momentum. You'll all thank me later.

Also working on a subscription system for stores that really like my business, they can subscribe to have me come to their store and purchase things.

That was Lumberjim. I still remember that thread.

My youngest as a toddler would often say “Easter bunny?” When it was nowhere near Easter. We finally figured it out. She fancied herself a comedienne (at 3 yrs old). She had a speech impediment and that that was as close as she could get to “Is that funny?”

So funny!

While we were talking this happened in my new neighborhood.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/18/nyregion/kaylin-gillis-ny-shooting.html

On Saturday night, just before 10 p.m., Kaylin Gillis and a group of her friends were traveling in a caravan of two cars and a motorcycle that mistakenly drove up that same driveway. They were looking for a friend’s house — and were met with deadly gunfire, killing Ms. Gillis, 20.


 

Turns out to be further from me and closer to fff

About 20 miles. The millimeter's BFF lives about a mile or two away from the guy.

Kids drive in the wrong driveway.  When backing out, the homeowner shoots them.  In every case, adults who are irresponsible (like children).  Have so much fear promoted by urban myths and to need a gun.  Are so irresponsible as to shoot without even identifying the victim.  Since guns change a person's mindset.  They are righteous because they have a gun.
 

This happened the other day a few miles from my house. The guy is a complete shit for brains. I hope he gets life in prison. gun ownership should require more than just background checks. Owners should have to register and insure their firearms just like they do with automobiles. They should have to pass written and practical tests, just as with cars, and if they are complete assholes they should be denied.

You're in the right field.

I look at it and try to find the clues that might show what's to come.

I'm in North Carolina visiting my sisters.

TIL that those big ass trees that I would have sworn were rhododendrons turned majestically sylvan are, in fact, Sweetbay Magnolias and not giant rhododendrons.

In my defense they don't really grow up north and the leaves fucking look exactly like rhododendrons. Nevertheless, I now have about 30 photos of giant Magnolia tress...

I've been seeing a lot of low mileage vintage cars (over 20 years) coming up lately and I wonder if it is little old lady baby boomers who are no longer driving their cars on sunday?
