There's a dead possum at the bottom of my deck stairs.  It's crushed, half-eaten, and stinks.  I don't know wtf to do...I'm already in my pajamas! 

 

Most people just put their leftovers in the fridge

Hey-O!  Just 3 years ago, I was in the hospital with everyone thinking I was gonna die.  All diagnoses were wrong, and it took an infectious disease specialist to figure it all out.  Turned out that what quacked like a duck was NOT a duck. 

SO BRING ON THE HOCKEY!!!  :):great8:

Had something weird happen at Walmart.

 

Normally I get red and green peppers at international store, but Wife needed them for something and didn't want to wait for them to open.

 

So when I put the red bell peppers on the scale and start the lookup process, offers up a bunch popular red items.

 

Very odd coincidence since all I did was put them on the scale, but whatever.

 

Then I did the same for green bell peppers and SOB it gave a bunch of popular random green items.

 

What kinda black magic ****ery is this?  No way that's a coincidence, and if it scanned the code, it would've said what it was, calculated cost based on weight, and moved on like it did with the onions I bought.

 

Anyone else notice this? Is this new?  Are the scanners looking for color of items to help with selecting produce codes? GD if they are, didn't think that was neccesary since each item has the 4 digit code on it, but by all means Walmart. 

 

Future is weird, man...

I was reading a book in the Light Bringer series which pointed out mirrors act like prisms breaking up light, except they break up our image in our minds. We look in the mirror, see the whole of us, and we tend to focus on all the "imperfections."  We are an image splitter the same way a prism is a light splitter.
 
It is only through loving eyes that the whole of us is remade from all the parts.  With loving eyes the "imperfections" can be celebrated as part of the whole that is the object of our devotion.  In this way, love is the anti-mirror/ant-prism. It puts all our imperfections back into a whole so much greater than any sum of the parts.

It is a thought for any of us who have issues with the way we look.  It is a thought for people like my daughter who eats whatever whenever because she thinks she is fat and will never be good looking enough.  It is a thought for everyone who wonders what their spouse sees in them when all we see in the mirror is a gut or a lack of 6 pack or...

 

It takes a loving look to look at the bumps and imperfections we see in the mirror and get us to the point where we can laugh at them. We need to realize there is beauty there not just despite the imperfections but because the sum total of all the imperfections is us.  We have to look with love at ourselves.  We have to see the bent sparse trees make a great forest.

One more at the end of my 16 hour day.  The partner I work for is the calmest, chillest person in the world.  I HATE IT.  I spent 14 hours today getting a 40 page memo that the client was demanding by EOD today ready for him, and upon delivery i figure he had 2 hours to review it (he just needed to read it and say my work was perfect).  HE DIDNT CARE TO LOOK AT IT FOR 5 HOURS. 

 

Every second of those 5 hours i was biting my fingernails, and he just is not concerned.  

 

Its 11:03 ET right now, he still hasnt sent the ****ing thing.
