TGIF! We have our Saturdays back! We also have only three (3) games remaining in the season. I’m sure they won’t be at all disappointing.
Survival – Personal Edition
I just remembered that last month I did an abbreviated post about lost luggage due to being under the weather. Well, today I’m going to finish that post.
- If your luggage is deemed lost by airlines, you’re eligible for some compensation. For domestic flights, you can receive up to $3,800. For international flights $1,700. You, of course, have to justify the compensation, and even if you’re right it will take months before you see anything in your bank account. Act accordingly, and do not fill your checked luggage with valuables. Really, don’t check luggage to begin with, that’s amateur hour.
- Make your luggage stand out. Use a brightly colored ribbon or strap and wrap it around the handle or the luggage itself. If you really want to stand out, use various colors of duct tape to write a note on the sides of the luggage.
- Position yourself so that you can see the luggage as it enters the carousel, even if you can’t get to the luggage. That way you’ll be able to readily identify your luggage and see if anyone mistakenly grabs it before you have a chance.
- Take two cards, and write your name and phone number on them. Place one inside the luggage, and the other in the card holder. If someone that is honest grabs your luggage, they’ll be able to contact you and rectify the situation. Also, never put your home address on luggage tags. That only lets everyone know that you’re not there.
- Dress for the worst. You may need the clothes on your and in your carry-on to last for a few days, so be prepared for that situation. If it’s a business trip, ask yourself if you’re dressed for business when boarding the plane, and if not, fix it. Also, no PJs or sweats even if you’re on vacation. Have some self-respect.
- Always carry any medications and hygiene items in your carry-on. These are essential and there’s no reason to risk their availability to the airlines.
Thus concludes the luggage advice. Also, pick a seat that’s nowhere near the door plug on your next Boeing flight. I recommend first class.

Survival – Species Edition
Time to put the sexy in Friday!
Enjoy the weekend, folks! Alright, now let’s get to the comments!
[…] I was going to do a Groundhog Day spoof and just reuse last week’s post with a new title and intro, but it’s already been […]
My second in the shop retired today.
23 years working with this man.
In retirement a man has a name.
His name is Andre.
We’ve got a surprise party for him tomorrow night. I get to meet his family and friends and he has no idea this is going to happen.
And for some reason it’s at a Black Angus steakhouse.
I’mma blog this shit.
Pictures or it didn’t happen.
Plot twist: It’ll be just the two of you.
Your Dinner With Andre
Guys, I am having a bad time. Brother in law is dying, my sister is obviously distraught, and now my older brother called me a while ago to tell me my younger brother is in intensive care, intubated. They don’t know if he had a seizure, or what it is. They said the cat scan or mri or whatever they did doesn’t show brain damage, so it’s probably not a stroke. What the actual fuck? I talked to him two days ago, he was fine. He’s only 61. Older brother is not in good health either. He had to put up with younger brothers wife all day, and to put it in kind terms, she’s cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Completely nuts, my brother was waiting until their daughter graduated from college this spring to leave. Jesus Christ, it’s like we’re being punished.
Jesus! Anything we can do to help, please let us know!
Hope things get better soon!
Just let me vent, and make me laugh!
Hope this helps
Honestly. I keep hoping the grownups are going to show up and handle everything!
I went to my local in a collared shirt and got called a rich cuntface fuck, so maybe I might be an adult? I do know this community is better than any therapy
Having met you, I can confirm you are a rich cuntface fuck.
Go birds.
I WORK TWO JOBS AND DRIVE A HONDA CIVIC. I WILL BE RESPECTED.
/Fangio is a nice hire
/go birds
Have you tried the gospel of…
A blueberry muffin?
All the love and best.
I had a ginormous meatball sub and mini churros with caramel sauce. Eating my feelings is what I do best!
What he said. Anything you need, just let us know.
I am so sorry to hear that Cara. Times like this you just do all that you can. We all know that you have the brains and attitude to face these tests. I trust help and relief are in your future. Stay strong my friend.
Don’t forget self-care during this crap time. Not fair that everything hits at once. We’re here for your venting and weed (ok I have no weed but you can smoke here and I won’t narc). Hoping for better news tomorrow.
Vent away bendy internet friend!
We’re here for you,Gumbygirl. You’re our favorite. You can tell whoever you want.
And Horatio’s a law-talkin’ guy, so you can tell people that upon advice of counsel you have accepted the title of “favorite”.
*Not valid in any state other than Connecticut, and quite frankly barely there.
Thats awful! we’re here to lend an ear and a laugh if we can
This is a funny account:

WTF. So sorry
If I could say something meaningful I would, and if I could do something helpful I would. If I try to make you laugh, that’s just me trying to do one of those other things.
Sound luggage advice my friend. For my short bidnezz trips I wear my suit coat over a t-shirt with my dress pants and shoes. In my backpack I have a shirt box with a dress shirt and tie in it, small shaving kit, change of underwear, battery pack, umbrella and folders of my presentation, etc…
I’m having OJ with lady number 3, she seems nice.
This guy gets it
Watching figure skating – probably Gaetz’s fav sport. A lot of 14 and 15 year olds.
One of the skaters is named “Starr” and all I can think of is that she missed her calling as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
Hey A and H, what red does yous missus like?
/not hitting on her, she likes red wine and can’t get Canadian stuff
I will have ask her what she would like.
I wonder what E. Jean Carroll is drinking tonight. Something expensive, I hope.
I wish it was Trump’s tears but he thinks he will be able to pardon himself soon.

That’s my brother, he sucks
Firstly, my heart breaks for this and all victims of sexual trafficking and assault. May you find freedom and justice for what happened to you.
That being said
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

The details are horrible and he needs to be sent to Castration Island.
I’m honestly surprised anyone would be surprised. He’s always been despicable.
You’re right; it’s just always shocking when it’s laid out in print, like, I get it, abuse is a thing, but reading details makes it more real I guess.
Remember when Rudy Giuliani sexually abused that woman who worked for him? Rudy doesn’t. Because he’s an unrepentant drunk who blacks out by 11 a.m. every single day.
Since it’s still my birthday week, I’ll tell you another submarine story.
So this one time we were down below (BTW that’s how you always start a good submarine sea story [a regular Navy sea story starts with “This is a no-shitter”]}
So this one time we were down below, sitting on station underneath the busy commercial freighter traffic of the North Atlantic Ocean, quietly watching them, and targeting our secondary weapons package (our “48s”). Our targeting was “locked on” to them.
But did I ever tell you about the other five submarines that were beneath us, who were “locked on” us?
Ah Hello American Friend! Brithday is my favorite time of year also! I would love to know more about your “submarines!” Kindly if you would transmit any schematics relating to Fuel Plate Void Spacing Coefficient Dryout Condition? Hahah or any other funny storys?

Hahah friend so funny and/or large penis!
Love the plump and juicys on pic 3.
Yes, those look delicious and have obviously been under the knife.

I wouldn’t mind being a nudist, but I’m a grower not a shower and I’d need to grow a huge bush just to fuck with people and I really don’t like pubic hair
In tonight’s edition of “Gee, I didn’t really need to know all that”
My work here is done.
Mrs. Horatio and I go to our local for dinner. We just get settled at the bar when the guy next to me stands up to head to the bathroom, staggers, then falls over backwards onto the floor despite the best efforts of a couple of other patrons to catch him.
I look at his seat and he’s had at least one mixed drink and a martini, as has his wife/SO. They also have a martini to go, which apparently is a thing and really shouldn’t be.
Anyway, guy assures everyone that he’s fine, which is a lie, then proceeds to bicker with his the wife /SO. Bar staff has gathered in front of them as they get ready to leave, I’m getting ready to tackle him if he tries to drive, and the couple next to them gets up and insists that they drive them home. Talk about unsung heroes.
Anyway, they do, and when they get back I buy their drinks. They finish those and the people next to me buy them another round. And at this point I suspect that we might be in one of those horror stories where no one ever leaves the bar, they just keep buying each other drinks and then someone brings them home and then all of a sudden they’re back in the bar and having to drive someone else home.
And that’s when we bailed out, because I’ve read those stories and, unlike all those dipshit teenagers, when the going gets tough I get going.
The other way, as fast as my feet can carry me.
Connecticut is a land of contrasts.
Here’s my alcohol story.
Been a Dry January. Nothing for me since 2023. Wife just left for the store and said “Fuck it…it’s close enough.” I believe my Dry January will end shortly. But I am down about 15 pounds! That’s good! (cut out the potassium benzoate)
Why were you eating potassium benzoate? I would think it would taste pretty crappy.
It was always on sale.
That’s good!
