I've already had one guy I knew well and the son of a friend take this way out this year...

They actually believe it's that physical thing they tighten their drum heads with. Or, it's what Gswitz apparently tips musicians with in airports! ?

Jailbait?

That was back when they still let musicians into the airport, ya?

He S.L.I.P.'ed and fell...

Two more than I have scheduled... (Only difference is that I would love a few days of paid work before next year! Oh, well...)

Don't worry Nigel! Growing older beats the current known alternative. ?

I've only gone there once that wasn't in conjunction with a tournament of some kind that I was in, but I still remember looking out of my hotel window at the city and couldn't help but think how dead it appeared even with all those lights flashing away...

I'm 58 next year. I actually made big increases in my health over the last couple of years. Ironically, I now eat MORE eggs and fat than I used to, but have mostly cut out grains (which turn to sugar when ingested) and sugars (especially pure crap like high-fructose corn syrup which is just as addictive as cocaine). YMMV!

Except any actual professional knows to only use positive suggestions (because your subconscious mind doesn't translate negatives well). So... YOU ARE WELL AND HEALTHY!!! ?

It's pretty high-class considering a cardboard box on the street in San Fran, sitting next to raw feces, used drug needles and other homeless people rents for $1,500 a month...

Gotta give her credit for trying though! Most quit before they're 120 years old. ?

Nurse: "Doctor, looks like we've got a stiff one here..." Doctor: "Send him down to the mortician." Nurse: "I didn't say he was dead Doc!" ?

BTW - I now have thousands of these including several saved from here. They're all on my phone too and get sent out regularly as texts when appropriate. ?

You made that one Kenny? Good job! ? If I knew that, I definitely WOULD have given you credit! However, I found that one several months ago by doing a Google search, liked it and saved it. I've also created a lot over the years and it's kind of cool to see others using them. ?

You've been mooned. Twice. ?

I just keep noticing the amp blocking a heating vent...

What's the point? In a word: Marketing. Here's one of many links talking about it. https://protonmail.com/blog/gmail-confidential-mode-security-privacy/#:~:text=Without end-to-end encryption,more than a marketing strategy.&text=All emails are end-to,time chosen by the sender.

Just get a GOOD brand of data toaster! I had one that corrupted a few hard drives and I'm still pissed about that (it corrupted the ORIGINALS so I lost a lot of data permanently...?). I've had good luck with Thermaltake though.

I should post my extended remix which uses over 45 different ethnic instruments and a few of those cardboard toilet paper tubes... ?

Just an annoyed rant on my part. New censorship DID just get put into YouTube (12/9), and I've seen GMails get censored if you put words into the subject that they don't approve of, so I'm just figuring that could be why they were down. I'm spending increasingly more of my time in duckduckgo and rumble now (and several others that aren't censoring). The FCC just began looking into breaking up Facebook a couple of days ago with Google (or Alphabet) on the horizon... Who knows any more what's going to happen? That said, my Gmail, google and youtube are all back up.

There are those that can achieve dullness without being robotic though! . . *Sigh...* ?
