Dragon Con has announced Jared Padalecki as a guest and meltdown has ensued. My sister is trying not to squee on a work call. LOL

I cooked the pasta, eggs, and chicken last night for the chickaroni salad for tonight's dinner. Unfortunately, I left the chicken sitting out all night. So, take two on the chicken is going now. 😆

I shattered my elbow later in 1976, so gymnastics wasn't really an option after that anyway. My Barbies did a lot of gymnastics, though! 😄

Ours generally stays at 75, but we had the same experience when the new system was installed. Hooray for improved efficiency!

Gymnastics is a perennial favorite since I was a 7-year-old Nadia Comaneci fangirl. I usually also watch swimming, diving, and track & field, especially the sprint races. But I'm sure I'll become an overnight expert on several other events. 😄

Perfectly normal! 😆 (The last time we had a hurricane come through was days after I had my gallbladder out. My sister made me come stay with her just in case anything went south, with me OR the storm.)

Excellent news! I managed to change mine out in the spring, so it wasn't bad (except for my wallet).

Yikes! I'm having mine checked out on Thursday. It's working fine, just regular checkup + filter replacement, but I sure hope they don't have to turn it OFF. (I just paid the damn thing off. It better NOT stop working!)

Today's agenda so far: showered & put on Outside Clothes, made eggs & toast for breakfast and wraps for lunch, made chicken stock, dropped off a carload of cardboard recycling, paid my RtV invoice (doubled), emptied half the dishwasher, brought the trash can in, washed a load of laundry. #GoMe

If he does drop out, he must also resign. Harris running as the incumbent changes the playing field.

Thankfully the person I eventually talked to was very helpful (and also had no idea why the package was forwarded) and put in a request to get it re-re-routed.

And of course I had to jump through multiple layers of automated hell just to get on HOLD for a person.

Naturally, the USPS has fucked up my change of address request. They forwarded a package TODAY, three weeks before my move date.

For my cousins (around my age, both male), it came down to sibling rivalry. The older brother chose the Mets and Jets, so the younger picked the Yankees and Giants. (Technically, they live just outside NYC, but the difference is minimal. 😄)

I meant to share this when I found it, but I'll do it now. If you hate Google's AI search "results" like I do, you can bypass them by altering your default search engine link in Chrome: www.tomshardware.com/software/goo...

I am very very annoyed that they won't give an easy way to turn it off. I don't need or want it, so it's completely wasted energy (literally).

Up sneezing my head off at 1AM, after talking down my confused/disoriented dad who is starting to show possible dementia signs and I cannot deal with this at all.

I didn't watch the debate, but it sounds like it didn't reveal anything new: Joe Biden is an old man who stumbles over words and makes (sometimes big) mistakes but is generally a decent guy, and Donald Trump is an old man who's a pathological liar, raging malignant narcissist, and wannabe dictator.

Ten degrees down today, which means it's still 90, but that's an improvement, at least. Usually it takes until mid-July for me to be fed up and ready for fall to get here.

LOL, I bet. Traffic down here is going to be a nightmare. He's coming in to Dobbins (northwest side of town), Trump into Hartsfield (southwest side of town), both headed downtown. I am very glad to be staying home today! (And on the east side anyway, lol.)
