Cocaine & Ketamine, but cutting it with something else, I know not what (tons of money?)

I love and donate to SomaFM.

I have been hooked on the ‘DroneZone’, but there are lots of other channels on SomaFM that I should explore.

There is very minimal interruption (hourly? and quietly) asking for donations.

AOL - ISP. Not sure order of operations here… I was also on Mozilla/Netscape (1991/92-?)

Bulletin Board Channels: There was at least one gay one in San Diego (ca. 1992-1995). We would chat and post online, then once a month, meet at a gay bar with name tags with our handles.

IRC - fun chat site (at least into 1997 for me)

LISTSERV - this was less useful for me. signing up for ‘reading lists’ or ‘subscriptions’ to ‘butterflies’ ‘sourdough’, etc. (I honestly do not recall the groups I signed on to) when no one really seemed to be there (1992-94?) though I didn’t move with the hip crowd

really? that sucks. really? i am genuinely so disappointed, jeez

I thought a ‘concierge program’ was similar to OneMedical. You pay an annual fee, have a PCP, but the PCP doesn’t typically do much besides refer you to specialists, give advice, or prescribe meds.

I’ll pause now

There’s a The Cure song in here, somewhere

I felt like that last week at the farmer’s market. I hate it.

I think we could all chill

My mother.

She was returning something on a slow night at Best Buy.

We did not make it past the tween greeter at the front door before she unleashed!

Mom went off. The way she was talking, you would think he, personally, did something to harm her. This kid was standing there, shrinking away, with what looked like his girlfriend standing next to him. He was a door greeter, had no control or decisive role in any way.

Of course, she called a manager.

I feel real bad for that kid but love embarrassing my mother by recounting that true tale to others.

That sounds so great. Do you know the device’s product name? Which library do you get this from? I’d like to try it out in my library.

Wow. Thank you. That was gross, but now it’s clean.

Ian Curtis (Joy Division), though that would probably screw up the timeline for New Order and all of 80’s music (not a dealbreaker).

Prince (obvs)

I’m on a Galaxy S7’edge’ that I really need to migrate away from. I don’t want the foldable, and I’m not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?

Both of these collections have more or less ‘dropped off’.

Menus are mostly printed take-out menus, though I swiped the in-house menu as well when I could. Now, most of the casual dining places have replaced menus with QR codes.

The grass clippings were just a snip of a memorable event (cousin’s college football game, first time solo camping, special event, new home, etc.).

Books, ephemera found in books, tree leaves, grass clippings, pencils.

Menus and matchbooks have been more challenging with changing times

This is for Stall Action: There are 4 stalls.

Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.

The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.

Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.

As I understand it, there’s a huge downside to federated software in the requirement to be Always Online. Lots of people have slow internet connections, or no connection at all, preventing them from accessing their software. Everyone should be able to use the programs/apps they have without regard to whether they are online or can get online.
