this guy who "invented" the seasoning method, he's a turkish butcher and treats his employees abominably from the the food service underground has to say.

Right now, I'm wondering if It's karma; if everyone is feeling what I'm always putting up with & I'm feeling their pain, to have to forgo your dreams & goals & every ounce of hope in your soul in exchange for some pathetic semblance of security because people tell you your not good enough, or when people doing way better than this say you're way better where you are than trying to do better, or when you just get snubbed with no explanation, because the people you ask think you don't need to worry about it, or that you're not smart enough to handle the answer, or they think it might hurt your feelings, when nobody can see that you that you truly can't keep living in the place you're in, when everyone in the world is just too damned aloof to see that everything you've ever done wasn't just for self amusement or to keep busy, but that this whole time you were looking for a way out of wherever the world decided to stick you.

That's pretty heavy, man. Hope you find a way to deal with those feelings. I was clinically depressed years ago. Now, ten years later, I'm somehow happier and more satisfied with life than I was since my 20s. Some of it was medication, although I quit that years ago; some of it was learning to accept my failings and accept that everyone else had similar weaknesses and struggles, and to forgive them for their small wrongs and annoyances. Much of it was learning to appreciate truly good booze. And strippers.

I've been watching a show on TV involving a gay redneck cowboy. Despite what South Park told me though, there appears to be no one eating any pudding.

the trump cakes in season one of" nailed it" are ...eerie....NOW.

One needs hope and goals. That requires Capital, skills, & occupation.. 

Without the second three, one has no goals, & without goals, hope isn't always present.

In a weird way, I want a Paterson tool, even though I really wouldn't  want a Colt, I'd want an Adams or a Starr or something...

I wonder if there's some way to engrave a brief motivational statement into your eyeglasses..........

Some Canadians I play games with online shared a link about using a 3D printer to make masks.  I showed it to my wife who got excited so we ordered a 3D printer.  They aren't nearly as expensive as I thought!  Now I've got a new toy, to play with!  For the record, we have printed 2 mask bases but not the part to put the filter material in.  My wife has found other more important  things to print.  Toothpaste tube squeezers, chip clips, a cutter for the soap she makes.  Oh well, eventually I'll get to make myself some toys.

Passover begins at sundown, under a full moon fever, Pink Moon they call it, because it's the first full moon in spring.....

Passover....

Makes me wonder if that's how most Americans are feeling right now, under this full moon fever...

Well, since the President gave orders for Americans to wear masks in public, I have worn my plague doctor mask to go grocery shopping, gas up my car, pick up prescriptions, and go to the post office and the bank!

I think I've been training for this moment my whole life . . .

i have a rainhat with a plastic shield affixed to the brim that keeps my glasses dry, i dug that out to wear, since i'm far too claustrophobic for face masks,and it fits curtis too!
