What The F is going on with all y'all?

[saymyname]

i'm trying to stay distracted. knitting fuckers socks for christmas (spoiler alert, i fucking hate knitting socks almost as much as i hate knitting scarves, but my fuckers like wool socks, so there's that) and i'm making "baked" beans in the crockpot. glad AB got rid of the time change so now its only a one hour difference for half the year when i want to talk to my kid.

i also made some iced oatmeal bars to help put my winter weight on. i did not grind any oatmeal, because fuck that.

These iced oatmeal cookie bars are perfectly moist and chewy, warmly spiced and drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze. So easy to make and fun to share, these quick one-pan bars are delicious any time of day!

Renos must continue until moral improves. Custom moldings and trim work, Im the prime contractor and also all of the sub contractors. The engineering firm (myself) has been pretty good allthough I still think that guy is weird. Shits been good Im almost done, I hate floating ceilings with that cardboard tile shit so I made my own custom ceiling 2.25” tight clearance to the joists instead of the standard 4-6”. Same concept as a floating ceiling except better in every way possible.

Its cold and Im starting to feel old, but whatever I can rest when Im dead.

 

[saymyname]

ya. wait til you're my age. you'll wake up dead!! my back "popped" the other day. i thought i was going to die, but i went to work anyway. i feel 32% better, but now other things hurt more than before..haha.

renos never end until the sign is on the lawn. thats science you can trust. now go get some stamps on your man card.

 

[Glowie]

I ran out of shit to put on the man card, Im pulling early 40s and I swear my train almost derailed twice so far. Coffee aint cutting those 4am wakeups, maybe its time for a redbull expresso

@Glowie: I'm now well into my 50s and starting to understand what the elderly mean when they say "I have good days and I have bad days" -- sometimes you feel like you could do anything, other times you can barely move. A very strange time of life

I use beef tallow instead of butter and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Cook at 325 for 1 hour.

Had 230 trick or treaters last night. The hunger out there is real. Was able to clean out the pantry. What kid doesn’t love Brazilian canned corn beef? Beautiful weather, though. I’ve never been able to sit outside in my shirtsleeves and hand out candy on Halloween before.

The Grand Reserve has declared permanent daylight savings time, but Big Tech didn’t get the message and the phones and laptops fell back. I expect an utter shitshow at work tomorrow.

Aside from that, ready to see the last of 2026.

 

[Trudeaus coke dealer]

I had fun with the kids trick or treating last night. Lots of kids and costumes but not so many people handing out this year.

 

[Glowie]

Heres a 5gal pail of diced tomatoes dont tell the others where you got it

 

[ChevChelios]

If you're giving out Rooster brand canned luncheon meat I'll be trick-or-treating at your house next year

Well this week I built two beds. Well I put them together anyway. I did have to flip that bed there on a bigger bed 180 as it wasn't the right way.

Also built my cat a new cat tree.

I also completely clean out my cat's litter box every month. I empty it out and completely clean it with soap and water. Since this house is a bit large I'm going to set up two of them so I had to clean the one he uses and I had an extra one but that also mean so I had to clean it but it was just dusty had nothing in it.

 

[TOPDAWG]

I got a bunch more stuff to do around the house straighten things up clean a bit.

 

[border_humper]

You’re American, why don’t you get a job?

 

[TOPDAWG]

@border_humper I'm still doing stuff around the house fixing it and what not. Plus honestly I really don't have to hurry to get one.

Plus I may look in the AI and get a career in that but shit there's no certs or anything you can really get right now.

So I got to figure out how to break into that field. Honestly the true answer is right now. I don't need a job.

 

[saymyname]

@TOPDAWG when you run out of shit to do around the house and get bored, then get a job, or find another hobby.

 

[Trudeaus coke dealer]

@TOPDAWG Gotta learn to minimize. Don't need it then don't get it. How anybody could say they would get bored without a job in the modern era is beyond me.

 

[TOPDAWG]

@saymyname Right now, I only have one car. Unless I can walk my ass to work, I need to get a second car first. There's no public transportation around here. Just a bus and train that will take you towards DC. If I get really bored I'll get a job at Walmart or target or something for extra cash.
