Random Thought Thread

Years ago, my doctor said that with my height and build, my goal should be 250 pounds. I'm now 20 something below that.

It would have been great if I had lost it 20 years ago. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠☯⁠෴⁠☯⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
I only eat one meal a day, these days, too. I just don't have the appetite that I once had.
 
I quit eating breakfast when I left home. It was fried pork, usually bacon, and eggs every day growing up. We never ate box cereal. I quit eating lunch when I started my own business. It seemed a waste of time. I could work across the lunch hour and get home an hour earlier to start my second job.. mowing. Mostly greed (survival) driven I just lost the desire to eat a mid day meal. My children that are now in their late thirties and forties do not eat lunch. The body adapts. I'm real certain early man didn't eat three meals a day and was likely far healthier than today's man. He ate no JUNK. Most all modern foods to be purchased are not healthy.
 
My sister and I where watching Halmark, of where they show a Galaxy Ring, and she asked me, hey is that real, and I said "Yeah me and the boys at the android forums are talking about that, it is a real product."

I contacted Publix corporate customer service using the online contact form. I specifically asked why their frozen sliced strawberries don't have an inner safety seal film under the lid. After getting home with this product, I called the store and the associate went to check the other tubs. She confirmed that none of them have anything under the lid except frozen strawberries.

I told Publix that every other store I've bought this type of product, whether store or third party brand, a thin plastic film covers the contents. I added that I'm old enough to remember the Tylenol murders that started the entire need for safety seals; and that I wasn't comfortable consuming food that just anyone can access before I buy it.

This was the response I got: and it took my regard for Publix to an all-time low. If Publix is more concerned about making "the best choices for our planet" than making the best choices for their customers, then so be it. I'll let the planet buy groceries there.

Yeah I remember those Tylenol murders case, I heard of a few too. Awesome job to contact Publix.
 
I've been watching the Lost Treasures Of Egypt series some. Why hasn't a sand removal vacuum such as used to dredge the ocean ports etc used? If such a machine hasn't been invented, I think it's time. Being as they are removing the desert with a paint brush and a bucket brigade, it seems it might be useful. :)
 
Probably the same reason that backhoes and other machines are banned.
Those archeologists definitely have more patience than me. Getting to within digging distance to something and then having to wait till next season...
 
Well we watched Uncharted yesterday, a movie based off a video game, really amazing all around, know little bit more of the video game thanks to the movie,
We had Pesto Salmon yesterday together, ate pretty late in the evening, tonight we had chicken rosetta it was very delicious over all,
we end up watching some hallmark tonight, over all it was pretty great, today went to my mother's volunteer garden, such beautiful weather.
 
I forgot to tell everyone, my sister's old manager at the bookstore days, I remember meeting her about ten years ago, she passed on about a while ago, and my sister went to her funeral downstate here...
 
I once made around $4,200 working as bar back at news year eve party. It was a temp gig. Arrived two hours early, reported to some employee dining room, grabbed some food sat down with some people i knew and about thirty minutes later this girl pops out of nowhere and asks for my name and then hands me an envelope and vanished
I look has my name on it i figured it's tax paper work or something and put it my inside jacket pocket.
A few hours later I am working moving cases of liquor and beer around, chit chatting with the bar tenders and guest and the freaking ninja girl again appears out of no where hands me and the bar tenders envelopes and disappears. None of of bothered to look so fast forward four or five hours. I gathering glasses up in some empty room just me and once again out no where envelope girl is standing there, hands me another envelope and I think she might have said have a nice night before turning and disappearing.
So now I am a bit curious and worried about these envelopes I opened the first one it's a check for $1,100 0r $1,200 I forget what it was for, next envelope was roughly $800-$900 and the third was for another $800 or $1,000 plus through out the night I was getting cash tips.
I have never had another like it.
I ended up giving most of the money to my girlfriend (later wife)
 
Follow up on my previous rant about safety seals: it's pretty crazy that virtually every time I've ever bought things like frozen strawberries or even yogurt, there's a little plastic film protecting the food:

Not at Publix! Open the lid and there's nothing sealing the food against psycho people who would touch it, spit on it, drizzle fentanyl on it... whatever!

I called the FDA and, sure enough, it's not a legal requirement. It's up to each manufacturer whether they want to use those seals. No problem: I won't buy unsealed food from Publix anymore. Problem solved.
 
I wrote a truth of a knock-knock joke:


"We end up always answering it, even through the ring service peephole,


we always end up bursting out in laughter when we were younglings,


smiling up on the fractions and maintaining strong enough crowd,


to face the stigmatism in the climbing away in the hand dipped silver coated,








never know what the movement and trying so reach an understanding of the mysteries of strangers and applies right by the


gearshafted winding movement and sent over the triggers by a million miles,


set in redemy and smile throughout the tolerance of others, ergo we have both social butterflies and introverts, the anti-social ones who scowled away in the subbasement of their majestic minds, carved out in the knives,


in side greatest threat they always survive against the ultimate prize.





A friend.


Who will last until their service is done, cut away the chords,


Pathros to my endgroup coupons, sliding in the card with automatic sensors for face recognition, override the instant recognition OS,
to unlock the doors and freedom."








Still as the weather discords, still as the raincoat rides up, hold it far apart and yet together, hold it away and seek it in the bottom ends.


Looking like a woman but crying like a child, she said it was all done..
