BABES, I think it was just after Christmas when @brainsludgemissives shared her super cute rainbow Dino overalls? And I immediately went and bookmarked the company thinking, “maybe for my birthday I’ll get a new jumpsuit” but(T) then I saw it-a gold boilersuit covered in bees. sold out in every size but mine (that never happens). I just knew it had to happen right now or rather two weeks ago. While I am always worried about money I also practice- Spend it now or something dumb will take it tomorrow. My mom frequently writes me a note when she gives me any money beg/reminding me to please do something fun with at least part of it so I sent her a Marco Polo earlier today to show her my life enriching frivolity.

active rest day 06302024

watched the beginning of stage 2 of the Tour de France

went to church

worked lifeguard job from 1245p to 5p

visited my Mom. she was awake and reading. i took the trash out and brought a new library book. my Mom has been awake since ~730a, so a high energy day for her.

pic = i brought Klondike bars for the lifeguards. they were definitely appreciative. management usually gives them popsicles so the ice cream was a treat.

watching "Are You Being Served" with @brainsludgemissives at 7p

hope you have a peaceful evening..

My friend @brainsludgemissives posted NPR's New Year's resolution generator and someone had drawn this. As a person who's run (a lot) this is outstanding. If you've ever thought about running, I highly recommend the tips in this article

Pickled

One of the best things to do with nearby food, and I’m totally going to sidetrack.

My daughter visited today, and we told so many stories. I always overshare, but I’m ok with that a little, because my mom never told me real stories until I was almost 40.

We (me/child) started with our relationship with sleep and noise and people nearby. She has already shown more skills for self-care than I ever learned.

Wait. I turned being pickled into being messed up with readily available checking-out liquid, but I’m only a person who stands as a totem of bad choices. I told her stories of late-night drunk assholes. Many of them were me.

The last one: I was loading out amps and stuff after a show in Hamtramck, and someone yelled out the window to “shut the fuck up.” He went on to tell me about little kids and school. I was gutted in the best way possible. I still am grateful for his yell into the void.

“Should Ramen be under SOUP or under RICE & NOODLES in a shopping...”

If it's instant ramen, with the soup. Though in most of my local grocery stores, ramen is not with either soup or rice/noodles...it's in the ethnic food aisles. But, that's the Midwest.

It’s the kind with the bowl that you add the water too. The question isn’t so much about the aisle but whether it’s soup or noodles lol.  Like spaghetti is dry noodles... because you cook it in water then throw the water out, you dont drink the water. It’s noodles! Fine egg noodles for soup are under soup... because you cook in water but you put in the water that you don’t throw out. Ramen seems to be this weird mid thing - She throws the water out, but after... whereas I drink it because it’s soup.... she doesnt drink the soup part... so she doesn’t think it’s soup... but it’s SOUP!!! 

To her it’s just cup of noodles lol

Noodles because they don’t come with any liquid.

But neither do manishewitz fine egg noodles you use for soup... and those would be for soup, vs say spaghetti which you eat dry. 

That’s the crux of the issue... do you eat the liquid or is ramen just the noodle part and you toss the broth? She tosses it lol ... but it’s soupppppppp

I mean when it’s in final form, soup.

3, 6, 9, 21, and 29 please!

40 over 40

3. What is the best thing about being 40 or over? Perspective, which has helped teach me patience and to enjoy the little things. To slow down and look at that sunset or to take the time to enjoy dinner and conversation with the L&T.

6. What general life advice do you have for someone who is currently in their teens? Take care of your body. Yes you’re indestructible now, but that won’t always be the case.

9. If you could re-live your life from the age of 18, what is the ONE thing you would do differently? Honestly, I think I would have stayed in the Navy. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life now, and I wouldn’t change much (we all have things we wish we had done better), but I do at times still miss it.

21. What is the most indispensable app on your cell phone today? Surfline

29. Is there a particular news story or world event that you remember really well from when you were younger? What do you remember about it? The moon landings.My love of science and sci-fi grew from watching human beings do the seemingly impossible. And honestly, even though I was only a wee lad (I was 5.5 during the Apollo 11 mission), I remember a ton about them. Specifically I remember my mom and dad letting me stay up late / get up early to watch.

Thanks so much for the asks @brainsludgemissives you’re one of the good ones J-Dawg

brainsludgemissives replied to your photo “I also bought this yesterday, and I will be using it to concoct some...”

I was looking at that on Amazon and wondering if it was worth purchasing.

I will report on the results!

72, 82, and 102 - Please and thank you!

72. When’s the last time you had pizza from Pizza Hut?

This question makes me want to go there. Also, those plastic cups may have primed me. I think it's been five years since I've hit the hut.

82. Do you still talk to the first person you ever kissed?

I think this is about romantic kissing. I have not spoken to Trista (the younger sister of my older cousin's girlfriend who ended up stuck with me in a room with a stereo). We were left alone in a room while the 18-year-olds did whatever those people do.

After listening to the radio and talking awkwardly for a while and just having 12 years under our belts, we ended up kissing like crazy to the dulcet tones of Ringo Starr's version of "You're 16."

If you ever see this, Trista from Northern Indiana in 1979, I both apologize and hope you are well!

102. Name your favorite Kesha song:

Who can choose?!
