- Irish Woman asked me today what I wanted for Christmas. I told her I just wanted a hot meal and the love of a good woman.
- This may be my last transmission. Tell my children I died well.
- I got an email that one of Irish Woman’s presents won’t be here for Christmas because apparently the camel train from Outer Mongolia was intercepted by Hmong raiders or something.
- When I told Irish Woman that she had to come up with something else, she said we could just buy a new dishwasher instead.
- I told her to pull the other leg. It’s got bells attached to it.
- In other news, our dishwasher has died and our microwave appears to be on the downhill slide toward recycling.
- The dishwasher was manufactured in 2009, the microwave in 2008, so I’d say that both we and the former owners of the house got good value out of them.
- Have y’all priced out appliances lately? Sweet Jebus, but they’ve gotten pricy. My first three cars didn’t cost as much as a new dishwasher and an in-the-wall microwave do now.
- We’ve reached that wonderful time of year here in IndiUcky where it’s too warm to snow, but cold enough that the rain just sucks the life right out of you.
- Luckily, I have an ample supply of Vitamin D and corn liquor to see me through.
- Question for y’all – Have you just about given up on going to the theater to watch a movie? We went a few months ago, and I really didn’t enjoy it anymore. Unless the movie has special effects or cinematography that absolutely requires the big screen to appreciate it, I’d rather just stay home and rent a film. And since I’m about done with Star Wars, Harry Potter, the MCU, and the DCU, I don’t see me dishing out $70 or more for the family to enjoy a matinee.

/ December 15, 2022I haven’t been to a movie theater in…at least 10 years, maybe longer. When they started the whole gun free zone crap (spit), I stopped going. Watching with the kids on the couch is MUCH more fun, and nobody gripes about my ‘comments’… much…

/ December 15, 2022I bought my microwave in 1988. Still works great.
The last movie I wen to was (IIRC) 2010. It was that crappy Star Trek “alternate timeline” dreck. Fortunately, I didn’t pay for it.

/ December 19, 2022RedQuarters got three years out of the last microwave, 11 months out of the oven before the timer went odd (needed an electronics tech to fix) and after less than two years, the electric stove-top has developed a migraine in one burner. (It won’t do low anymore. Low means “full power.”) DadRed was Not Pleased.
