I deposit the Risk into the account of a dummy finance company for management, called the republican party.
Then, I deposit the damage into the account of a dummy corporation for control, called the democratic party.
I leave all the bible belt religions as spoilers, or third parties; putting them down as department store chains. To stave off the profit into the mints money burning facility, to insure that the money is worthless in terms of pragmatic value, and is only practical believed values.
And the Black market is pimped as bad but, even losing even your kindeys in a hotel bathtub on a drunk, is a value laundering scheme...
Thank you all for your input and participation!!!
I thought of that myself. Looking forward to it!
It’s 94 degrees and the sun isn’t even up yet.
Some days, I love my own cooking. Some days, I give it all away.
Maybe today or tomorrow I’ll make some no-bake chocolate cookies. I need the sugar overload.
I heard your weather forecast Friday afternoon on the Jerry Doyle show ... hot, hotter, hottest!
83 here, some clouds and kinda windy. I’m making the Offspring do schoolwork. They have annoyed me.
Nellis AFB has 97, with 3 mph winds. At least we have 12 mph to push that hot air around.
That’s OK. I’ve got the S-L-O-W-S today, anyway.

The alcohol makes one feel more friendly toward life. As long as they aren't trying to hail a taxi while drunk. Or attempting to cross the streets, which are specially designed so that it's almost impossible to jaywalk. Then one feels like hitting something. Apparently you aren't supposed to hail a cab from the street. You have to go to the special taxi stands and wait in line for an hour until one comes. However, some of them come, tell you they won't go to the Naval Base, and then drive away again. Others go by without stopping. Some of them let people off and then leave again, even though there are twenty people in line. I'm not sure how the drivers make any money.
In Seattle the taxi drivers will start fistfights over which of them gets to drive you. In Thailand if you pause on the sidewalk for a second a horde of taxis (and locals driving nasty old Mercedes trucks and rickshaws) appear out of nowhere and shout at you. It's rather disconcerting. On the other hand, five of us took a 45-minute trip (over mountains at 90 miles per hour on streets thinner than most of the ones in Anson County) for less than a dollar each. The only issue was that being smashed in the back of a compact car with three guys over 6 feet tall was somewhat uncomfortable. Plus all of us were a bit sick.
In Guam you can hitchhike everywhere, because 80% of the people on the island are US military or ex-military, and the other 20 are Japanese tourists that don't drive anyway. In Singapore hitchhiking is illegal, as is almost everything else a normal person does for fun.
Being underway is boring. We got a large stack of Christmas cards from the American Auxiliary something-or-other. And several hundred boxes of Girl Scout cookies. I think soccer is finally over, but now everyone is watching baseball. Also, for some reason, they insist on watching people talk about basketball, even though I don't think it's the right season for it. It seems to me that watching people talk theoretically about sports is even more idiotic than watching actual games, but ah well.
I don't like basketball anyway. It's pointless. If the LA Lakers would get sacrificed to heathen gods when they lost a game, it would be much more interesting. Also LeBron James would have been dead years ago, and I wouldn't have to hear about him every waking minute. Plus they all watch wrestling, which is also pointless. And, I'm pretty sure, fake.
hmmmmmmmm
Maybe on the way to Guam . . .
Maybe a 300’ diameter USO will erupt from under the sea 50 yards in front of her ship . . . when she is on watch . . . and then hover over it while abducting her and then take her on a tour of a base on the back side of the moon . . . and then return her with her clothes on backwards.
Would that entertain her?
I hope they get to Guam before it tips over....
In CA, wrestling matches are illegal unless the wrestlers are members of the Screen Actors Guild. I can’t recall any matches originating in CA in my entire life.
So ya...”fake” would be a good word. :o])
Bejeweled Battle Beebers!
A side scrolling misadventure of mythic proportions!
I’m sure it would - and then she could write a best-selling book!
I think there’s an alien laundry-chute ending in my upstairs hall ... I’ve done three loads so far today, and the basket is always full with more!
LOL.
Personally, I figure kids past a workable age can do their own laundry!
However, y’all have being a large family down to an art and a science so I have nothing to add for y’all!
I don’t trust them with my washer.
There is that alright.
BTW, I’ve had top loaders—Whirlpools mostly . . . good durable machines.
And I’ve had front loaders . . . What was the one I got in Taipei—European . . . well known brand . . . anyway—
Now, I only want front loaders.
1. more durable.
2. less soap etc.
3. can cram the things full.
4. less wear and tear on the clothes.
5. A dear Sister got a top flight . . . what is it . . . Miele front loader. It has very tiny pores for the water to drain through. It advertises as making the clothes last longer as their research showed that’s an area that frayed the clothes more. Surprise surprise. It’s true. The lint in the dryer after that machine’s washing cycle is maybe 1/4th or so that of the top loader normal washer with the larger holes.
It’s also a very clever machine . . . if one has sneakers in the wash . . . and it starts out unbalanced, it adjusts the rotation speed very carefully until it thereby distributes things more evenly and then rachetts the speed up again. Great machine.
BESIDES . . . MOM! Kids CAN be trained—at least most can.
I have a front-loader, and I love it. I chose it particularly to cut down our water usage, because the county keeps threatening to set a per-household water-use limit.
Then use water to beat the band before the limit is set! LOL.
Sigh.
What washer brand do you have? Are you happy with it?
Water is going to be a huge problem. A deadly problem.
BTW, you might benefit from this warning, call, exhortation:

My washer (and matching dryer) are “Tromm.” I love the washer, except for the intense vibration throughout the house when it spins. We say it’s the black helicopters landing on the roof to take Pat away ;-).
Because the washer holds so much, it often takes extra time to dry everything, especially if there are jeans or towels in the load. I could wash smaller loads, but then I’d never get done!
As part of our plan to get Bill’s work done, the Internet is going off here at 1:00. I think it comes back 4-ish.
Numm, Numm.
Famiiar with that phenomenon!
Had to put foam padding between washer and wall. We still feel it throughout the place.A very heavy duty machine.
Yeah, I usually have to run the dryer 1.5 times or so.
per load.
Ah well maybe we’ll have to have wind driven washers and dryers far sooner than we think.
Assuming there’ll be water!
Reminds me . . . I think we need another couple big laundry soap containers for the prep storage.
“I.. am OPERATING the Washing Machine for SCIENCE!!” -a dreaded quote in my family.
