Hello

I'm banned on r/Wisconsin on Reddit. Boohoo

Why was I permanently banned? 

Bc when a commentator blasted someone for spending their own money and demanded they be taxed to oblivion, I responded simply "Taxation is theft.  She can spend her money where she likes.  This is still a free country. "

That's it. No vulgarity.  No abuse. Just an opposing opinion 

Alas, the moderator cares neither for Wisconsin, civil discussion, or, apparently, the spelling of the word "trespassing."

 LOL

In Most Cases

When you are young, you rage against the machine. When you get old, you oil the machine. That's how it works.

Yup

Every time I've heard someone say "I'm a pretty normal person" they turn out to, in fact, not be a pretty normal person.

Old Man Dan

Dan in his early 20’s: “These old people like everything bland, pass the hot sauce, I love spicy food!”

Same Dan at 45: “These youngins have ruined food, it’s not even about flavor anymore, it’s how bad can I burn my mouth”

🤣😂🤣🙄

His take on popular culture, especially music is similar. When he starts his old man rants I’ve now begun mocking him saying “yep, Elvis’s hips were gonna destroy civilization too” LMAO  - Lisa

A Little Zep Humor

Lisa: You can't do that.

Me: Why not?

Lisa: There's a sign on the wall right there. 

Me: There's a sign on the wall. But I want to be sure, because you know sometimes words have two meanings. 

Lisa (long pause): What??

My Evening

I spent the evening on the deck with the girls,  and had a long phone call with my Dad, then spoke to my Mom briefly.

Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend

I saw this for my 11th birthday party. Anyone still remember?

My Day

Not a great day. My hip hurts, I'm very tired, my weight has plateaued for yet another week, both George HW and Barbara Bush are hospitalized (prayers for them please), and Marquette finally posted the grades for last semester but they fell short of my expectations. I've had enough of this day.  I'm going to bed.

4 Weeks

Last night marked four weeks since I've had caffeine.

My sleep this week

An Angry Morning

Holy shit** I woke up in a bad mood. In a prior life I would have just razed a village or burned a heretic at the stake to chillax, but since that's "frowned upon" nowadays, I'll just internalize it and die of stress by sixty.

A medical update

I went to my physician today to follow up on the chest pain, but after a short wait he came out and told everyone in the waiting room there was a staffing problem and we'd have to reschedule. Swell. I wasn't going to wait and fret another week so I went to a local urgent care. A nurse hooked me up to an EKG and pronounced my sinus rhythm normal, showing no evidence of a heart attack, and said it was probably muscle strain combined with a bad panic attack. He said the dr wanted some more tests, and plopped me back in the waiting room. Ninety minutes later,still waiting but with class looming, I thought "F this" and bolted. I'm going with the panic attack/muscle strain theory, and thus will happily resume both gym and romantic activity.
