Every now and then this songs pops up in my head.

*warms up hands* If you need a helping hand..................

Yeah because it is basically impossible to unsee what you saw.

You can correct that by going to your junk folder, select the emails from DGN and select not spam. That should correct it.

Here's a link to a NASA interactive video of the eclipse. You can put your zip code or city and state and a mini video will show you how much of the eclipse you will see. For me in Taylor it will be about 80% to 87% eclipsed. It will start around 1:04 pm, peak at 2:27 pm and end around 3:48 pm. IE 11 supports webGL but it wouldn't work. It did work in Firefox very nicely. https://eyes.nasa.gov/eyes-on-eclipse-web-app.html

It seems that if you walk away from your computer and the screensaver pops on, it doesn't show you as online here. Several times this has happened to me. Strange.

Godzilla raids again on Elrey. Although the original title was Gigantis, the fire monster. My understanding is that Toho Studios didn't think they could continue with Godzilla since he dies at the end of the first movie. So they did this movie using the Godzilla suit. However fans so loved the Godzilla character and since this monster was the Godzilla suit, they decided to go with the premise that Godzilla is a species of dinosaur, hence in later movies they discuss that subject and refer to the Godzillasaurus species as to why it keeps coming back. Now I can't say this is 100% accurate. I am basing this on things I have read plus references made in subsequent movies lending credence to this theory.

Or say something so assnine that you wish wouldn't be remembered.

I shall be there and would like a card please.

How dumb my neighbors are. When taking out the trash a couple nights ago, my roommate made a discovery. Now in the past we have found an Xbox 360 missing the hard drive and controllers but it does work, brand new in the box car speakers and a brand new backpack. This time he found a quadcopter. Needs a motor but otherwise in great shape. With it was the controller, 2 batteries, the attachment to put your smartphone on it, instructions(which let us know we can replace the motor) and the camera that comes with it. 3 motors work so we are going to buy a new motor and have a working $150 toy. Cats beware, we now have airstrike capability. Evil thoughts........

Resting my aching back. Moving boxes and storage totes so I can mop the basement and set things up to start going through all of that to see what goes to the locker, what stays here and what goes in the trash. At least I am finding things we forgot we had.

How much stuff we have in the basement and how much of a pain it is going to be going through all this stuff without messing my back up.

I was divorced in 2003. Wife walked out on me in 2000. I have always had self doubts before I got married. So even though I was happy when I got married, I always felt like the shoe would drop so to speak. 5 months after my mom had a stroke putting her in a nursing home, my wife walked out. She tried to make it sound it was all my fault but her argument for the divorce made me mad. All the things she pointed out as the reason were changes she made during the marriage. Changes she wanted including no more sex but she was going to find me a girlfriend. That didn't happen and I must admit I really didn't want that anyway. The real reason she left was the fact that my mom didn't remember her name after the stroke. True 11 years married you wouldn't expect that but my mom didn't even remember my name. Additionally my mom was living with us and helping with the bills. So once her social security went to pay the nursing home, she got mad. Basically she stomped off like a little child. So the feelings of inadequacy flooded me. Other than short term dating a few times I have basically been single since 2000. And now with medical issues and no funds, I figure I will die a lonely old man. As outspoken in groups as I can be, when approaching a woman to express interest scares the crap out of me. It takes a lot of effort to do that so when turned down, it really rips at my heart and soul.

This Bill is still waiting to be paid. I bet the check is in the mail right? Ha ha ha

Sometimes it bothers me and sometimes it doesn't. Currently not having income and going for disability I question as to whether I could take care of a partner. Would I be good for her or not. So being single is ok. But then when you go to bed alone and wake up alone, being single sucks. I miss waking up and being able to say good morning beautiful. And it sucks because sometimes you meet someone you want to take a chance with and you put yourself and your feelings out there and end up feeling unworthy because of their reaction. Then all you want to do is crawl into bed, pull the covers over your head and never wake up. You start to question your value to others, whether is it even worth being around. You start to wonder if you just disappeared would you even be missed. Some nights when you go to bed you pray not to wake up. So being single is mixed for me. I find it difficult to approach someone to let them know I am interested in them. So if I do that, it means I see something special in them, something I want to explore, find commonality, learn from the differences. So because of that, rejection tears into me like a dull knife. It hurts deeper than I can put into words. I could explain more but suffice to say I know I am not the worst choice a girl could make.

A teasing joke here would be so perfect yet so naughty that I will be nice and just say, I can avoid easy setups when I see them.

Scyko Kitten gave me the card she was given.

Agreed altho repeating 67 would be fine since it was a good night. As for 77, well that is 10 weeks away so I can't say for sure just yet. However I shall be at Gathering 68 and would like a card.

I shall be there and would like a card please.

Spending time with my nieces. I swear, it seems like as the sun goes down they get more active. Trying to get them the lay down hoping they will fall asleep.

Listening to The Beatles, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This month is the 50th anniversary of it's US release.
