Guess who chased a skunk again and had to go to the groomer and get a bath again and howled at the blow dryer again.

Message from my Dr's office: "We're offering a cancer screening that tests for 50 different kinds of cancer and has a 70% better detection rate than other methods." Me: Wow, that's amazing! I definitely want that. "It'll be $700." Me:

This is exactly the kind of very stupid joke that brings me endless delight.
"GPU texture address mode collies" meme continues to be my main achievement in life, I think.
Got new glasses a couple of weeks ago. After...I've lost count, actually, six, maybe? Trips back to get them adjusted, I have come to the conclusion that I simply cannot make the new frames work on my head with my prescription. I could either see out of them or I could not be in pain. Not both.
Just saw someone singing a Taylor Swift song as a Khajit and you know, I’ll allow it.
Hey @birdfybynetvue.bsky.social Do y’all not sell the pole mount for the birdbath anymore? The page comes up as a 404.
Just going on record to say that "Hugging Face" is a profoundly stupid name.

Was having some trouble reading my monitor with the new glasses (and my sky high prescription), because everything was just too bright. Never had an issue with that before, but figured, well, bodies are weird, let me try changing the colors a bit. Whew. So much more comfortable now.
I got new glasses and my prescription bumped up a fair bit on one side. TIL that eyes adjusting to new focus feels a lot like the sinus pressure of a stuffy nose. The nerves and muscles that control each one live in the same ZIP code. Bodies are so weird, man.
Can you find something *incredibly* funny and also wildly inappropriate at the same time? Because...
First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.
Sharing this because some of you might find it helpful. My mom used to use an ipad all the time to watch videos, look stuff up on Google, send emails...all basic stuff. But her dementia has made that all way too hard anymore. I just ordered her a Claris Companion, which simplifies all of that.
"Hey, Susan, why is Gen X so messed up?" Great question and thank you for asking. Exhibit A: This is a commercial for Hawaiian Punch, a beverage for children. The commercial both includes, and dare I say encourages, violence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LyB...

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
When I was a kid, we had a whole set of glasses like this with different color flowers. They originally had sour cream in them, or maybe jelly. When my mom cleared out her house, she asked if I wanted her Lladro or her crystalware. Nope. I wanted the glasses we always had iced tea in.
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Few things enrage me as much as when a salesman or service provider won’t even look at me when I’m standing next to my husband as we discuss business for the house or a car. As though I’m not at all involved in the conversation.
Sometimes when doing genealogy research you stumble upon stuff that leaves you speechless.
