There was a predator at the store I work in. Young man not quite 30. Fat sack of s**t in my opinion but he has game, he can talk. He made a habit of targeting very young cashiers and has impregnated two of them. His modus operandi is much like described - over the top flattery that is relentless. They fired him (again) and I have no idea where he is - but I know just what he's doing wherever he is. I hope one day one of those demure and quiet young girls will cut his balls off.

When I was a teenager walking home from school grown men would stop and ask me if I wanted a ride and then wheedle and get pissed when I said no. My voice is loud and if I had to tell them no twice the second time was louder. I always kept walking and ignored them. Only one followed me all the way home when I was walking with a friend and the car was full of older teenage boys. We went in the house and they drove away.

When my older daughter was 13 she got accosted like that walking to the 7-11 a block from home. Her little sister was with her and the man was over 40. She finally yelled at him "I am only 13!" and he sped away. Where do these creeps come from?

I've gone down the rabbit hole. Had to pull myself out and shove my wallet in my mouth to keep from swallerin' my tongue.

Gotta buy a set of truck tires and this is a detail vortex that's hard not to get pulled in to. I believe a set of Cooper Evolution HT 265 70r17 tires will do. Unless a random stranger passes an idle comment about them in which case I'll have to affix my Agonizer and go back to wading through reviews.........

All the crazies out there is why i had my 5foot tall wife take taekwondo,she is now a 1st degree black belt. I found some bare knuckle fights on tv, she loved watching them, imagine that, most girls wouldn`t

Thanks !

Thursday I'm going to a local indie shop who is a Cooper dealer and get Evolution H/T 265 70r17s.

I had company service trucks with fleet maintenance schedules and used the local Firestone for years. Couldn't tell you which brands but many, many Firestone tires that were fantastic. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of miles. So a few years ago we went there and got Firestone Somethings that just didn't seem to last so we went with CS5 Touring tires. Also from a local indie shop but he retired since. Our little 2007 Subaru Forester is on rails in all weather. Really nice tires.

Pride week kicked off late this year.
My twin girls both marched in the parade. Debbie who was there in support of her sister was loud and vocal. She carried a sign that read "Jesus loves me and my sister. "They had the exact outfit on with rainbow hair. They were easily mixed up as to who was who . A wonderful show of love and support by her.

The world's loneliest cricket has been in my garage a day or two and I felt bad for the little guy. So today I took the dog out through the other garage door on the side he's chriping in and was outside for a few minutes. Worked perfectly! Problem solved!

He invited in two or three of his friends. ................. hoo boy.

I can hear them having a grand old time in there. Periodically I flip on the light, just to f**k with them .....

As pride week slides to an end tomorrow with a picnic and pride dance the twins both will attend. I'm proud of both. For Kate who was proud to be who she is. And open about who she chooses to love. And Debbie who went every day made new friends and stayed out late. All because she loves her sister and wanted to be a part of this important event in her sisters life.
It's all a father can want and hope for in his children.

Try the decaf…

Decaf is horrible IMO...I only drink coffee if I want an eye opener which is usually in the mornings but once in a while I'm doing an all nighter awake and need a little coffee during that night to open them eyes again lol...

The side effect of coffee keeping me awake has warn off years ago. I can drink a seriously strong and quite large cup of coffee and go straight to bed.

Now, if I could only get my bladder to get used to it. Coffee makes me pee, a lot. That's why I never drink it before bed. I just turned 62 on Wednesday. I already get up at least twice a night for a pee. lol

I percolate my Chock Full O Nuts and put in it a vacuum carafe. Also filled a thermos for later at work. Pour out either of those twelve hours from now and they'll still burn your skin. It doesn't develop that stale burnt taste from sitting on a warmer.

Coffee is life. If I could unscrew my skull and pour it in directly I would.
