December 12, 20241 yr My kids troll me regularly - "Hey dad, do you want to great song?", followed by Never Gonna Give You Up, or Money (worst Pink Floyd song EVAR). Anyway, All I Want for Christmas is also on the list of songs I don't want to hear. So what does my daughter do? She asks her piano for the sheet music to All I Want for Christmas, and will play it over and over aad over gain, and I can't stop her because I also want her to get better at piano. Yeah, so that's what I have to deal with at home.

December 17, 20241 yr I have to clarify that I have family members who work in insurance, so I start with a distrust of podiatrist. I had a pain in my foot, like I was constantly stepping on a sharp rock. My regular doc referred my to a podiatrist. I'll admit I went in with a chip in my shoulder because I heard horror stories about how they add a ton of extra procedures to pad the bill. I had to wait almost 2 1/2 hours before I saw the doctor. I was going to leave but they kept moving to different rooms. promising he'll be right here. First thing they did was take x-rays of both feet. When I said I only have pain in one, they said I have to do two because the Dr wants a base for future treatment. When I finally saw the doctor, he commented on some type of skin irritation that needed to be treated. He called his assistant and made of big production of her verifying it was present. He finally dug around and found a sub-callous that was causing the problem and removed it. Then he said I need to come back for custom inserts (which I know insurance will not cover). I felt like I was at a used car dealership trying to sell me pinstriping, undercoating and Scotchgard. I went in for one simple procedure and came out with 2 extra, unnecessary ones, plus one future expensive one. I'm not going back. Crap like this makes me very surly.
December 18, 20241 yr Gonna have to disagree with you on chiropractors. I have a guy who works on my back and I fee like a new person every time I leave his clinic. I went to see another guy who just focuses on the C1 to C5 vertebrae. I've been waking up with pain in my neck, right shoulder and elbow. Went in for an adjustment over the weekend, so I'm no longer in pain in the mornings. Chiropractic treatment IMO is not quackery.

December 18, 20241 yr The score ticker under live sporting events is outdated and an eyesore. Everyone has access to scores on their phones. It takes up screen real estate and spoils scores of games you have saved to watch. It had it’s time but it is time to take it out to the barn and put it down

December 19, 20241 yr I have a company vehicle that’s managed by Element. They are the fucking worst. Take it in for a 60,000 service and they approved an oil change. Changed brake pads and turned the rotors but wouldn’t pay to flush the brake lines. New tires but wouldn’t approve an alignment. They are cheapskates, and the car probably won’t last until 150,000 miles, which is how much I need to drive before getting my next vehicle. The service advisor hates them with the passion of a million suns and I don’t blame him.

Guess it depends who you go to. My wife had a good looking friend who went to a chiropractor in the mid 80's complaining of a sore back and headaches. He told her that her uterus was misplaced and needed to be repositioned. She decided to leave before he tried it.

Said it before, and I'll say it again: Fuck ESPN in their goatass.
December 20, 20241 yr "Little Drummer Boy" makes me surly. If a stupid drummer came up to our house on the night that our baby was born, he'd get a load of 12-gauge birdshot in his drumming ass. By far the stupidest Christmas song. Makes me surly as soon as it comes on.

December 20, 20241 yr I made the mistake of going to a Target this afternoon as a favor to the wife. Chaos. And apparently the olds are out for the first time since Covid and/or 1958. They don't know that gift cards are always at the front registers, and so no, ma'am, your husband doesn't have to leave the line to wander off and look for them just as the cashier is ready to ring up the goods. "Jim. Jim! JIM! THEY HAVE SOME UP HERE!" I would've used self-checkout, but that line ended somewhere by the North Pole. Hallelujah, holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

It’s also a great study in sociology. I want a follow up show that follows what all winners over like 20k do with the money. There’s going to be some amazingly bad choices made.

December 21, 20241 yr I’m already fucking sick and tired of hearing “X is the first time it’s ever happened in the new playoff era.” Yeah, no shit. Damn near every thing that happens is the first time it’s ever happened in the new playoff era. It’s the first fucking year. It’s like if during the first game of a season, they said “that’s the first time a team has made a first down all year!” It’s fucking stupid, and it makes me irrationally angry
December 22, 20241 yr “X, formerly known as Twitter.” It’s been over 2 years, why do we still need a reminder?
December 22, 20241 yr We had Christmas with my family yesterday, my dad and my sister came over, as did my kids and grandkids. My sister told me she was bringing some kind of oven-baked sandwiches for lunch. That's fine, I said. She is not a bad cook but we have different tastes. I do not eat onions. I don't like the taste but more importantly, they just tear up my stomach. I don't ever ask for a dish to be altered to my tastes, I just silently avoid anything I don't want to eat. Once, my sister made these mini meatloves for a family get together. I do not like meatloaf at all but it smelled fine and I tried it. I immediately tasted onion and asked her if it had onions in it. Her reply was "You can't even taste it! I minced it up really fine!". I said that obviously I could taste it and furthermore, why add it in if you can't even taste it? She had no reply, I finished my meal and was miserable after I got home. My sister arrives and says she made 2 pans of "regular" sandwiches and one with "stuff" on it. I go for the regular and after the first bite, I taste onion. I ask if there's onion in it and she says "just onion powder! I didn't think it would bother you!". I guess she doesn't know what onion powder is made of. "Can you even taste it?", she asked. Well, how the fuck do you think I knew it was in there? (I did not say this). I don't know why you need onion powder on a sandwich but whatever. She just can't help herself, I guess. I didn't eat much of it, so there were no bad effects.

December 24, 20241 yr There’s a total piece of shit and her simp boyfriend squatting in a rental that’s for sale around the corner. I don’t really know the absentee owner but I message him with updates on what they’re doing to the place while the eviction appeal plays out. I saw her butchering his palm trees the other day and tried to tell her she’d kill them if she kept it up. She yelled at me at the top of her lungs to get off “her” property and she didn’t need me mansplaining shit to her. ( BTW we were in the middle of the street) I told her to fuck off, she’s a god damn worthless thief and move tf out of this poor bastards house. I may have also mentioned fat, worthless, lazy and to put down the fucking vape and maybe she’d get her kids back… anyway, how do these idiots yelling about mansplaining ever make it through school? Do they just disregard or are offended by anything a male teacher tells them?BTW she’s since cut the top completely off one palm tree and the bungeed the branches back on to the stump for some reason and is tearing the front porch off the house so she can hammer the plywood for the hurricane shutters on for privacy.

Screw the eviction process. I'd beat the ever loving snot out of both of them every time I saw them until they got the message. They would eventually FAFO.

December 24, 20241 yr Rubber car floor mats. From time to time I wear nice pants and nice shoes. When I get in a car I dont want to rub my gear on some shitty rubber floor mat like I’m working in the kitchen at Cisco’s. Yes, I understand that some people work in the mud or have work trucks. Good for you. I’m talking about a nice car/truck or daily driver - get some nice carpet like a civilized human.
