What Irked You Today?

Decorated the front yard on Friday after Thanksgiving with all the assorted lights and such. Was surprised how well it looked the first night and didn't need to make any adjustments.

My irk is 2 different string of lights have some flashing going on but it works every other night and then only for an hour or so. Then they stay on steady. Goofy. Guess I should be happy they're on at all but doesn't make any sense.

 

It makes perfect sense. The circuitry responsible for the flashing function is meticulously crafted from the highest quality Chinesium.

Try taping your week old bananas to a wall behind your model.

Week-old bananas taped to walls are deemed to be Greate Arte in some circles, selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I can't guarantee that this will increase your viewer engagement, but ChatGPT thinks it's a good idea.

 

Thanks Bill, almost want to tape a banana to my foot and bring it all home in one pic.

Sounds like a winner.

I'm sure some critical writer on Greate Arte could wax poetically for paragraphs on end as to how the addition of the foot in proximity to the banana is a visual  commentary by juxtaposition on the tragically transient nature of both feet and bananas and what they represent to the cognoscenti, how the playful allusion of combining fruit parts into physical activities is a veiled reference to a society in decline, and how the model being built in the foreground is symbolic of the desperate need of some to cling to reminders of a no-longer-relevant world full of physical possessions that had quaint functions like transportation of the non-spiritual aspects of our beings.

Should be worth at least a million.

That thought came to me.

Monday I get a letter from my Medicare prescription provider, they are dropping me for 2026. Open enrollment ends on 12/7, glad they didn't wait until the last minute to notify me.

They gave a number to call and apparently Cigna is rolled over to Health Spring. I finally gave up waiting on hold/being run around and found their web site. Which wasn't easy. The initial Google search took me everywhere but where I needed to be.

Anyway, I applied and am waiting for approval.

I had Cigna and got the notice they were changing names. They wanted to raise the plan cost from $20 to $70 with no benefit to me. I used the medicare site to find another plan. I found a plan for $5.70 a  month that suited my needs.
