TGIF! Folks, we are on the doorstep of the greatest weekend of footy. Make sure you’re properly hydrated and rested.
Survival – Personal Edition
Pets are great. But pets also die. Let’s go through the logistics of dealing with a pet dying.
- Make sure the pet is actually, you know, dead. Cats can sleep for along time, dogs can be lazy, reptiles are cold blooded and still. Closely watch the pet’s chest for movement. Any movement and they’re alive. Hold a mirror the pet’s nose and check for condensation. Pick up the pet. If it’s stiff and cold it died a while ago. If it moves, it’s alive. Check for a pulse. Lastly, try the eye trick of touching the pet’s cornea. If alive, the pet will blink reflexively.
- Let the kiddos know. None of that farm upstate stuff, either. Explain that the pet passed, explain death, and explain death is a inevitable part of life. Also emphasize the pet had a great and comfortable life with them, was well taken care of, and is not suffering.
- Prepare the pet’s body. Close their eyes. You may have to hold them down for a bit to have them stay closed. If the pet is small enough, find an appropriate sized box, place the pet into it, and cover with a washcloth, towel, or sheet.
- Hold a family funeral. Give everyone a chance to speak at the funeral ceremony. Burial should occur immediately after, but check your local laws if that’s legal. If not, you’ll just have to exhume the pet later and take them to your local vet for proper disposal.
- Allow your kiddos to grieve. Don’t replace the pet right away. Grieving is an important part of the recovery process that your kiddos need to learn. After all, this isn’t going to be the last death they have to deal with.
And, yes, the kiddos is also a stand-in for yourself. It’s tough for everyone when a family pet passes. Now go give your living pets some attention, food, and love this evening.

Time to put the sexy in Friday!
Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to the comments!
I really like the last photo with the girl’s ass on the table. That is beautiful. Of course, if I was the photographer I’d definitely make sure she wiped that table off with Lysol after the shoot, but she’s still a good looking girl nonetheless.
I’d eat off both.

Random, stabbing lower back pain for no discernible reason. This is aging, right?
Appears so. Luckily I’ve avoided this so far.
See my “slept on it wrong” comments on the previous thread.
I have lower back pain, but that is the least of my old man pains. Feet. Knees. Neck. I hate to think what happens when I hit my 50’s.
That or the consequences of getting on Ray Lewis’ nerves while he’s out on the town.
I’m happy to be here!

Slippy = Slippery
Simple and used all the time in winter. “Careful: The sidewalk is slippy.”

I’m laying out a few smart goals for 2024. Very excited about my two-year goals.
Assuming, you know, DeSantis continues to PUNCH HIS TICKET all the way to the WHITE HOUSE BEEEEEEYYYYYAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to hear the update on your socks.
Yeah, but are they Realistic, Measurable, and Specific?

Where did you catch that picture of lady 7 joining me at the cafe? That scene is just like a popular one around here. And coincidentally Wifey had her first job as a waitress at the cafe / pizzaria there.
A gentlemen never reveals his secrets, but you’re more likely right than not.
I’m watching the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians and I really should be taking notes so I can write up episode summaries from Eli Manning’s perspective.
Eli got hustle. You’re some sleazy porn producer with a broken gate
Enjoy your dehydrated pulp brick while Eli pokes into his foil pouch this widemouth curly straw.

I need to get my car running again.

That’s funny. I’m watching the video and I’m like, “That’s Sonoma!” because I recognize the turns from the NASCAR races and I see your title says Sears Point and I’m like “same thing?”.
A quick Google confirms. Same track!
Nice job!
Well at least you were never exposed to its embarrassing period of being called Infineon Raceway.
But yes, Sears Point is the correct name and Sonoma is the correct second name.

Such bullshit. Rudd does this, no win. Earnhardt does it, THATS JUS RACIN fuck you France (All the Bills, the country, whatever)
Yeah, I’m still not over this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwKyveBnSS0
Case in point. This isn’t an Earnhardt thing; it’s a fuck you NASCAR thing.
Having that slow of a corner right before the finish line is difficult. But NASCAR should absolutely punish everyone that dive bombs the corner and spins out their competitor.
All the actual GT road racing categories has an “avoidable contact” rule that would adequately cover this for NASCAR. But they still think rubbin’ is racing.
That’s an interesting flight path. It goes right over my house, which is actually rare. Only certain routes go in that direction.
Were you headed to Canada on that flight?
I’m right on one of the departures out of KBOS. when 33L is in use the planes are barely a mile overhead. Depending on the airline and plane I can clearly see logos still
Minneapolis, on the way to Washington DC
I was close! And yes, that’s the flight path I was thinking of. Didn’t think of Minneapolis….
So, Lexington KY is pretty awesome and is gorgeous in the snow
I see the Buffalo Trace is doing its job
Lexington used to be completely mob owned. The respectable money was across the river in Cincinnati, with the Proctors and the Gambles.
It is very pretty.
So on The Sirius there’s a very good fantasy football program by the name of Fantasy Dirt and the main guy is Michael Fabiano. He never misses a show and his other gig is as a writer at Sports Illustrated. He was off today and I found it a bit weird. Welp, I just happened upon this.

That sucks.
#5 stole my favorite hoodie and my movie treatment of “The Charles Oakley Story”. She lives on The Riviera and I always see her in the first row when I watch Les Cesar Awards. Her best friend is that bitch Isabelle Adjani.
I think this is the greatest Beach Boys song, recorded at their peak. It’s about a car, but it’s really about a girl.

It’s about a multi-surface cleaning product.
Yeah I sing that one to Wifey right after I order her to go clean the bathroom.
Okay, the batches have been hattened down and I’m ready for rain.
I don’t know how you are feeling right now, but I’m half-dead.
Don’t worry about me, I was just checking in on you.
Look on the bright side: You’re half alive!
I’m half drunk. Good to know I don’t have to worry about you.

stuff’s getting festive over here
A Billy Ripken Jersey!?
He got that along with a “Buffalo Bills NFL Champions” T-shirt.
All very clean cut and fresh this week. Like you could give any of them your credit card to go get carryout, and they’d bring it right back without fuckery.
How much extra is fuckery?
#2 is the definition of cute
