@ChaosOnPaper Funny. Writers have always been fair game. Remember when we had to pay 10 cents a word to have someone check spelling and grammar? And they did a poor job. Now we can have AI do it in seconds. The marketing angle is about all that is left for the hucksters. So tired of that.

I feel ya, John. Reminds me of the time out camping when my friends and I came across three little cubs. We shot one, and captured the other two. They didnt fare well in captivity, though. Actually starved to death. The thing was, and this is the sad part, the mama bear came looking for us. Was quite rude, really, and ripped my friends faces off. Can you imagine the horror? I am organizing a campaign against the evil bears. Wish me luck!

Im feeling pretty special today. Apparently, there is a group of people at Amazon who take the time to find things I might like.

That type of thoughfulness is rare today.

@ThebookishC Very true.

@6StringRazer @_brownie0_ Admit it: you're cheap. It's ok, you'll feel better.

[David Grant Urban @DavidUrban71602]

@6StringRazer @_brownie0_ You seem ti be triggered by someone who tips well. Easy to guess why. Man, I hate cheap people.

@kiragriffoo Hey!

[David Grant Urban @DavidUrban71602]

Right? Funny stuff. I hate the way service workers get screwed. In many states employers are allowed to pay employees less than minimum wage if they get tips. Imagine:

Employer: I have a job for you.

Employee: Does it at least pay minimum wage?

Employer: Nope. Even less. And no benefits. But your tips will make up the difference.

Employee: ...?

Employer: Get to work.

2 TVs in one house tuned to the same live sporting event. One TV is 4 minutes ahead of the other.

Proof that time is fluid? Or is the cable box magic?

@AlexAndBooks_ Very true.

@6StringRazer @max12346590 @_brownie0_ Engagement pennies? What in the world is that? Whatever it means, its a great line. "YO, take your engagement pennies and scram!"

[David Grant Urban @DavidUrban71602]

@trickrider @_brownie0_ Where did that come from?

[David Grant Urban @DavidUrban71602]

@6StringRazer @_brownie0_ Pulls out wallet, dust falls out. Birds chirping: cheap...cheap...cheap.

One of the great things about being retired is watching life from the outside in. If you are retired, you know what I mean.

@raqisright Remember when people used to write checks at the grocery story?

@Gunblaze1969 Flick? Aw, fuck it.
