    My mother's funeral is this afternoon (she died visiting my sister in Wyoming). Of course, I won't be there. I saw her obituary online (I was left out, as was my middle sister but our kids were mentioned) and saw a few comments posted from people I know.

    None of it meant much to me but today a friend of mine (we've been friends since Kindergarten) texted me about the "worst day" of his life. We were 12 and his parents, who had been separated for months, officially divorced. At that time, I lived in Ohio and he was spending the Summer with me. He tried to make a collect call to his mother that night and she refused it (he said that she apologized about 15 years ago, explaining that she was too emotional to talk that night). It devastated him. He told me about how my mother talked to him and comforted him. I had forgotten about that (I was in another room while they talked that night, I was asked to leave) because it was so long ago. He's never forgotten it though.

    I guess, in all this mess, it was good to hear something positive from someone that still means something to me. She wasn't a bad person, she was just part of something that some of us could never forgive.

    I'm glad you got to hear that she wasn't a total ice queen.

    The founding member of Bachman-Turner Overdrive was charged with sexual assault. I guess he was "taking care of business". #TooEasy

    This is just amazing. Molly Schuyler is about 120lbs dripping wet. I have seen her on TV doing some major eating competitions but this one hit close to home. Taking on the 72oz Steak + salad + baked potato and rolls at the Big Texan. A pretty tough challenge. A bunch of my friends tried it once and failed miserably as you have to do it in under an hour. That would be at a net loss of $72.00 for failing.

    She does it twice in under 15 minutes. A Big Texan record. I imagine her next bowel movement could set a record too.

    The thing about this Texas steakhouse challenge, after she smashed Joey Chestnut's record by half, she ate ANOTHER 72 oz. steak to show off.

    She plans to come back and eat three meals in under an hour. That is 13.5 pounds of meat plus the other stuff. Forgot to mention that there is also a shrimp cocktail as part of the dinner.

    Don't get any ideas, JB. You'd go broke on the first date.

    Definitely think "buffet", if you ever ask her out.

    I graduated from a small private school. We were told the same thing and were told the punishment would be the same. In our case, the students complied. I would have thrown mine, but I was already banned from participating in the ceremony and had to watch my graduation from the audience with my girlfriend.

    Same here, but our diplomas were actually given to us when we walked across the stage. I think our graduation was also in a church, so it would have looked foolish if we threw them up.

    Any one ever go do Barge work as a deckhand ? I'm seriously thinking of getting on one if i can get hired. I have a few apps in just waiting on reply. I know its tough laborer job type duties but every other month ( 28 days or so) much better then paid vacation.

    I had found a few down by Kentucky area on the Mississippi. Does any one know of some I could apply to?

    What about one of those crab boats in Alaska?

    There seems to be a new breaking news alert for a shooting somewhere nearly every day now. Yesterday in Canada, now tonight in Seattle. Is it sad that I'm not even slightly surprised anymore when I see these breaking news alerts of shootings? It's to the point that I see them and just think it's another day, with as often as these are happening now.

    Some of it is brainwashing or false flags. The news is in the business of always having something to report.
