LLVs of the USPS are superior in many ways to what's come after, and every one could easily remain in service for a million miles or more (cost-effectively)...but that would have required somebody who had once turned a wrench or was a silverback engineer to be a part of the procurement (and maintenance-and-repair program management) process.

Heels and seamed stockings and tailored clothes on women used to make my life much more enjoyable before fashion changed to look like nobody cares what they look like..

My peeps just doin' a flyby to remind me that there IS actually intelligent life in the galaxy, and not to give up hope when almost everything on Earth seems to be terminally stupid.

"It's not things that upset us, but our judgments about things"

House cats that never go outside tend to get fat due to overeating from boredom and lack of exercise, while indoor-outdoor cats tend to maintain healthy weight and fitness, as do feral cats that have access to plenty of human-provided food.

You can't use reason to convince anyone out of an argument that they didn't use reason to get into.

Colors can evoke emotions, like the electric blue of Wednesday's midday sky made me feel happy, but I find the golden-yellow light of clear fall afternoons kinda makes me sad.

"Paystar" was the chick in HR who made sure the checks went to the right recipients at the end of the week.

I've used Micro Mark's liquid mask successfully with Testors and Duplicolor lacquers. Just don't hammer it and don't use WATER BASED paint. https://www.bnamodelworld.com/microscale-mi-7-micro-mask-liquid-masking-medium

Now might be a good time to take a big psychological dump.

See Celia sell seashells by the seashore, while simultaneously sowing sasquatch seeds, and sustaining semi-cyclical swings of her psilocybin-stressed psyche.

Up at 05:30, just walking out the door now, 4 hours later. Some days are rougher than others.

RE: sidcharles You don't even really need to vacuum-form.

You can convince 50 scholars with one fact, but you cannot convince one idiot with 50 facts.

In my experience, CA-removers are acetone-based. Acetone has a very good chance of damaging clear plastic parts, making the problem much worse.

Store-bought veg-edibles and fruits just don't compare to some of the wild varieties...but some are 'better' in some ways.

Only gripe today was an inability to connect the laptop to the internet first thing this AM. Not the ISP-supplied "gateway" or the cables, 'cause the ancient Win7 computer worked fine. Finally found the thing had somehow reconfigured itself overnight. Weird, weird. Anyway, as TinyLimp gets closer to ending Win10 support on the 14th, I kinda think they're throwing glitches in the updates so older folks will panic and buy 11. BECAUSE...Win10 works just dandy and does everything I need it to do, and forced obsolescence really chaps my backside. I've had multiple glitches in the past few months that have never occurred previously, all fixable within the computer, but just plain odd...and every one having to do with setting changes not initiated by me. Yeah, I know, it's complicated.

Boy, have I known some of those. The beauty was only skin deep, but the ugly went to the core.

Milo kinda reminds me of Ovaltine, but sweeter.

Finish yer meat or ya can't have yer pudding.

Jail has very little appeal to me at this point in time.

OEM dash top for the Neon came in today. Almost perfect, no embrittlement (the one in the car broke up into chunks when I took it out). NOTE: This is NOT some cheap aftermarket cover or overlay. It's the real OEM assembly. Wrong color, but that's what they make flexible interior dye for...as soon as I pull a mold from it so I can make more if/when necessary. They ain't cheap.

"Star Drive" is a street not too far from me, and I've often been sorely tempted to steal the sign, but I like this one even better.

"Beast of burden" refers to a large animal used for carrying loads or doing other heavy work, as in the song by Mick Jagger and his band of renown.
