107th Obsequious Banter Thread: Ugly Sweaters Edition

condolences...but in a way..this is how everyone should go..on their terms..i like to think in a way that's what my mom chose..even if..in essence, i feel she ..gave up in the end

i am glad you are doing ok..often times i wonder if i properly grieved..or maybe i just was always ..expecting it and waiting for it which is why i feel i handled it well..then there are days when i wonder if to this day if i have fully..processed it

either way i do know i can never..ever listen to this song again without bawling my eyes out and thinking of my mom even if it does have a fantastic message

That song hits so hard having lost both parents and some close friends.

Same!

I was walking the mall with a friend last week and we were dicussing 50 year olds loves of Legos.

So totally no judging.

Beefette and The Child made pumpkin Pie on Monday night. But it took an eternity to cool, so The Child didn't get to have it before bed. She decided to blame me, even though I was entirely uninvolved. She declared it was the most unfair thing that has ever happened, and that she wished nobody had ever been born so the world wouldn't exist, and that everything would be made of metal. Then she mumbled about how much she wanted me to call the police on myself so I'd be dragged off to jail to eat nothing but eggs and crumbs.

Sounds like my 6 year old niece....

I've heard some really vile plans from her

due to the arthritis in my knee, my Ortho Dr. has told me no running or ice hockey. I'm a walker now.

Eliptical...

Eliptical...

Have to sell my treadmill first.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Have to sell my treadmill first.

Well, not if you just drop the treadmill off at an interstate rest stop. Out of sight, out of mind.

Then it's a gift!

An immense kindness, really. And tax deductible!

The Christmas PA Lottery commercial, you know “happy holidays Rita. Thanks joe!”, is 30 years old.
I wonder where they all are now. I hope joes still alive.

Who let Chuck lead the negotiations with Russia?

 

[DancingPanther]

Who let Chuck lead the negotiations with Russia?

It just stinks because this was Russia's plan from the start.

But it's funny because I thought of the same joke immediately

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Who let Chuck lead the negotiations with Russia?

THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE POLITICAL! Even though, I know it is in nature.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

NOT BEING POLITICAL.

He did it!

Biden should have baited and switched the real merchant of death.....Chuck Fletcher and then thrown in the rest of the consensus committtee for good measure.

Overwintering peppers thing - aphids are a bitch, not sure what else to add. I've tried it all [repotting, soap water etc etc.], but it looks like peppers in one room (4) are 50/50; the ones in other room (3) are safe, and then there's the 8th one also, which I killed due to underwatering. Meh. Now I understand those who just start from zero every year.

I find explosives work well. May lose the peppers, but, in the tried-and-true tradition of jealous ex-boyfriends, "if I can't have (the pepper), then no one (including aphids) will."

Thinking outside the box; I like it.

I have a peloton and have around 900 rides completed this year. Looking at options for a rower next. That's a fantastic full body workout...the Peloton rower is like 3k though...maybe the Hydrow Wave...A body of mine lost 50lbs in 6 months doing the row.

You have 900 rides this year. Jaysus. I'm guessing that must include like 5 minute cool down rides and such? If not thats absolutely bonkers haha. I think I manged like 40ish on my sisters bike, but that was pretty low for me because we had a kid. I don't think I've ever even cracked 100 in a year. How does your body ever recover? Haha

If I answer this do I get called a hippie again?

"hip·pie

/ˈhipē/

noun

(especially in the 1960s) a person of unconventional appearance, typically having long hair, associated with a subculture involving a rejection of conventional values, or pretty much everybody in Portland."

I mean you can't argue with the dictionary my dude.
