Actually, the idea of 'indecent' clothing sparked an odd thought.

I recently cruised though a number of Kolchak: The Night Stalker episodes. When we were young my brother and I called these 'pillow biters' because we sat on the couch clutching gram's throw pillows all wide eyed and scared.

My point is: the suggestion of nudity sometimes seems more 'nude' than actually being naked.

Kolchak was cheap and cheesy even for it's day and was presented on relatively small crappy screens. Kind of like catching a glimpse of the enormous humanoids in Galileo Seven or the gremlin on the wing of William Shatner's plane, , the suggestion is enough to let our imaginations fill in the rest in a way CGI never can or will.

I've been going to the gym regularly my entire adult life. These past few years gym clothing has .... changed and leaves absolutely zero to the imagination. I literally just flip a switch and turn all that off because it's distracting and it's sign of age to say this but you get used to it. One more taut derrière does not enrich me. It seems to be perfectly 'appropriate' and accepted and is just a sign of the times.

My only concern applies to male and female, and anyone in between - pressing your bare flesh all over public equipment is nasty. Put on a shirt or something or at least use the stuff they make available so you can wipe off your sweat, makeup etc.
My take is that people are wearing clothes/outfits that they shouldn’t be wearing in the first place. I see plenty of women wearing spandex. Some of them look like they were stuffed into a sausage casing. I wonder if they ever look in the mirror.

I cringe when I see men who are bald on the top and have some hair on the back and sides. These men then let their hair grow in the back so they can make a half assed ponytail. The days for these men to have ponytails has long passed.

Rented the carpet cleaner, scrubbed the whole house fresh and clean and it smells good. That lasted one day :)

Yesterday my cat was in his box doing his business and he must've ingested one of my wife's very long and extremely tough hair. Really, the military ought to study it. He pooped himself silly only to discover that a hair was sticking out of his backside and he was trailing poop balls from it like the cans tied to the back of a car saying 'just married'

He went into Zoom mode and flew around the clean house trying to escape his turds spreading them on walls, the clean carpet. Uh huh.

The 'catch and clip' was epic. He retired to a box to lick his ass clean. Fortunate, nobody else was going to do it for him we were too busy getting out the Clorox. Poor little guy.

Today I was getting ready to take my shower. My wife says “get out here now”! She thought there was this black insect out in the hallway. I got a tissue to scoop him up. When I got closer it I saw was a black turd from our cat. My wife has a phobia about insects. We both got a good laugh at that one.

... as I sit here I note one of Louie's dried up turds laying over there in the corner. Must've missed that one. Looks like one of those Lincoln Log connector pieces .....

poor Louie.

Our garage door is our primary method of fenestration <<<<< using a big weird word today :)

It get cycled so much I keep spare wire rope and pulleys and so forth handy. One just told me it wasn't happy and it wasn't so I replaced it, would've snapped clean soon enough. But I hate that wire rope ****, no matter how careful you are or what gloves you have on you always wind up with several sharp jabs in the process.

I am finding that mail delivery system is a pain in the buttocks. I realize the USPS is this antiquated entity but damn, they sure do screw things up royally! I was expecting a package to arrive today. Instead it was stuck at a facility 60 miles away. Why it is there was a puzzlement.

I called the sender and sent him the message the USPS had sent me. The address and /or zip code was incorrect. The sender checked and said that everything was correct as far as the address and zip code was concerned. He called the Postal Service and got things straightened out. What a fiasco!

Someone can’t read a label so my package is sent to East Bum F**k Egypt. This isn’t the first time things like this have happened. I guess this will be par for the course for the future of USPS.

Do you have the psychophysical capacity to take naps? (I seem to have lost mine.)

I normally cannot take naps unless I'm extremely tired and even then its a very short nap...

No I don't. I have to be really exhausted before I can get any sleep after the sun is up.

I did take advantage of some sick time today - put in two hours and punched out. They are fine with that, no problems, I rarely if ever take any. Really not up to being on my feet for an all day pounding.

So over the weekend I decided to get a 2nd line on my phone account with T-mobile and buy a 2nd phone for my nephew since he is struggling financially...I call T-mobile about a promotion to get a free (credited) Samsung phone if I pay full price for a 2nd line and keep it active for 2 years...Ok no problem set it up I told the saleswoman over the phone...

Welp, I was lied to, the phone wasn't promotional, I'm not getting any credits for the phone as promised...I'm paying full price for that phone over a 2 year contract and with the 2nd line my phone bill has more than doubled...Its not the money, its the shady way they rolled me over...

My nephew has that phone now, the most expensive phone I'll ever pay for, after 2 years I'll have 800 dollars invested in it...I've never paid over a 100 dollars for a phone for myself, but he's happy with that new phone and service, that's what matters the most...Is this where I'm supposed to say, to hell with capitalism or something to that effect?...

I have used tmobile for a long time,
sounds like you got a broken person on the phone.
I have always gone in to the stores and have never had that bad of a mess up.

As my wife and I were Verizon employees we have always used their service. For a long time we purchased Samsung phones but around four years ago we switched to Apple. I am not a big app person and there are some things I don’t care for in the Apple universe but I don’t like switching back and forth.

I think we are four generations behind the current IPhones. I am a traditionalist. I like to call and talk to people. All the younger family members use texting almost exclusively. For me I used an IPad Mini 4 for my daily work.

I've used T-Mobile for a long time as well and in the past I've always gone to the physical store to make any changes to my account...This is the first and last time I do everything over the phone instead of in person...
