OT - NO POLITICS We’re on to Thanksgiving

[caz16]

NeelyDan's Friday Five:

1. Write a standard 5-7-5 haiku about yourself
2. What is your least favourite chore, and why?
3. How often do you make your bed?
4. In front of you are an escaped serial killer, an escaped bioterrorist, and an escaped crack wholesaler. Your gun has only one bullet. Do you fire? If so, at whom?
5. Look. You're wearing your favourite clothes. Describe them for us.

1) I wake up early
Scan the hockey scores with glee
Hockey is my fix

2) I hate washing floors.
3) Every day.
4) I fire the gun and take off the serial killer's ear
5) Black sleep pants covered in stars, black shirt covered in stars, I like stars. No hat. Bruins socks and fuzzy slippers.

Well who am I today
What new mask is for your eyes
Only being me underneath always

folding and putting away laundry

every day. (unless I'm sick) If you are not making your bed every day, how are you aligning your day otherwise? *just curious, we could Feng shui this question for days*

Myself. (I'll let you figure that one out)

Wide leg salmon colored pants, white tshirt, silver sandals.

NeelyDan's Friday Five:

1. Write a standard 5-7-5 haiku about yourself

Ehh… I reveal too much about myself here already. I’m not much of a poet, either.

2. What is your least favourite chore, and why?

Raking leaves. Just a colossal pain in the ass. Raking. Bagging. Disposal. Just too much of a time-suck.

3. How often do you make your bed?

I never make my bed. Before you get all judgy, let me explain why. First of all, Mrs. 103 gets up three and a half hours later than I do on workdays, and secondly, I can’t make a bed to save my life.

My wife is a fastidious perfectionist, and no matter how much she tries to teach me, it’s never good enough. In fact, had I gone into the Army like I wanted to (a heartfelt thank you to all who served past and present), I would have made a deal with my bunk mate where he would make my bunk, and I would polish his boots.

4. In front of you are an escaped serial killer, an escaped bioterrorist, and an escaped crack wholesaler. Your gun has only one bullet. Do you fire? If so, at whom?

Tough choices. I say bioterrorist.

Right between the eyes.

5. Look. You're wearing your favourite clothes. Describe them for us.

Jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers. Tres comfortable.

Lewiston shooter warned he might ‘snap on’ employees at bakery outlet days before rampage

A police report obtained Friday by the Press Herald revealed Robert Card made a delivery to a bakery in New Hampshire 6 days before the Lewiston shootings and told workers there: 'Maybe you will be the ones I snap on.'

www.pressherald.com

Six days before he shot and killed 18 people at two Lewiston businesses, Robert Card told employees at a bakery outlet in Hudson, New Hampshire: “Maybe you will be the ones I snap on.”

That revelation was reported to police the day after the shootings and revealed in a report obtained Friday by the Press Herald.

Tad Dionne, Hudson’s police chief, previously acknowledged that Card had an “altercation” with employees at a Country Kitchen Bakery Outlet days before the shooting, but did not share details. The incident wasn’t reported until after employees saw images of Card on the news. At that point, the shootings were over and a massive manhunt for Card was underway.

“We immediately documented what they told us and forwarded it to Maine State Police to assist them in any way,” Dionne said.

​

Card had recently begun driving a delivery truck for a third-party company that has not yet been identified. The delivery included products from LePage Bakeries in Lewiston, although a company spokesperson said Card was not and had never been employed there.

Hudson is a town in southern New Hampshire near the Massachusetts border, about 150 miles from Card’s house in Bowdoin.

1. Haiku's are hard for me. But I'll try!

Cold autumn morning
A black, tiny tea cuddles
into the abyss

2. Getting the recycle boxes broken down and trash put out every Thursday night, Fridayis our trash day. It's the bane of my existence. I love doing laundry though. Laundry calms me down.

3. Depends when I'm in my bed. I shuffle between the bed and the couch. Either way. I'll make it when I get out, so it's cozy when I get back in.

4. Bioterrorist is going first. Then I'm taking my phone out and recording both escaped serial killer and cracked dealer and hopefully that will get them arrested. If not. Bioterrorist is going first, then I'm pistol whipping the serial killer.

I've definitely thought about scenarios like this before

5. My black sweatpants. My favorite hoodie. Comfort. Cozy.

There's almost always a sign. We just don't hear it.

The people who saw him and had contact with him DID hear it and they reported him over and over again. The police didn't try hard enough to locate him prior to what happened. We can't talk about the other part of the story but that is a problem too.

I hope the victims families sue the shit out of those who failed to do their job.

yup. I can agree with that for sure. you're right. It's a wide problem of no one wanting to hear and "well, someone else will deal with it." (and an issue with education all around)

The main thing is that the cops did a wellness check on him and discovered he wasn't home. Instead of trying to locate him so they could make sure he didn't have access to any weapons, they said oh well and went on with their day.

I still can’t stop thinking about that poor little boy saying sad and scared

Shit has fuc*ed me up

I keep thinking about the absolute vitriol in College campuses all around the world. I saw what happened at Concordia University. Heard about the gunfire shot at two Jewish schools in Montreal. It's just keeps getting worse.

I'm Catholic as many of you know, but I have a lot of Jewish friends. And let me tell you. They. Are. SCARED. If you know any Jewish people, reach out to them. Let them know you are there for them.

I am sorry, I hate that it is still upsetting you. I said it earlier and really mean it, I would want you on my side every time and I would bail you out every time when needed. It preys on my mind too, as well as my daughter's obviously. Hugs to you, you are awesome.

In response to Neely Dan's Friday five:
Many things I seek
I look quietly away
Hockey night tonight

2 Making/changing the bed. It is against a wall on one side and boxed in on the end.

3 Not often. I am sure those that do it every day are appalled

4 I don't fire. I call the cops and FBI while praying for the right things to do and say.

5 Tan dockers with a blue short-sleeve dress shirt and a pair of good tan suspenders

The anguish your daughter must feel.

She has been crying a lot, had nightmares.

She has been crying a lot, had nightmares.

My kingdom for a broken heart emoji

Please tell her there’s at least one stranger out there in the ether that is heartbroken she had to experience something like that, and that this stranger is proud of her

Best steak in the world. Objective fact!

Best steak I ever had was in Panama. Local beef, none of the growth hormones we get here.

I dont even know if couples do that anymore.
