Happy Sunday and happy Father’s Day!

Dogs may just be the happiest creatures on Earth -- they made a good choice years ago to become domesticated. Unlike cats that, although “domesticated”, have never really embraced the idea and remain aloof and mostly insufferable.

You know what is actually a good product that lives up to its hype? Lindell’s My Pillows pillows. Quite pleased with it.

A blessed Sabbath, Gerbil Nation and a happy Father’s Day!
Good morning, Sven!

Sven -- sorry you weren’t able to reach an agreement on a replacement truck, but glad it’s not a “must have” situation. Glad to hear that My Pillow lives up to its hype. That’s too uncommon these days.

We had a good time in Temecula -- shed a few tears and remarked on wines that Cindi would have liked. It’s still too raw to get too deep into memories in a public place.

Sven:

When it comes to wedding gifts, I hear a blender is always appropriate. No need to thank me.

Yesterday, I got up the nerve to call a friend that’s been working on his house (that he and his wife just bought) so he can move into it. So I brought him some dinner so they wouldn’t have to cook.

I texted him saying that I’d bring them lunch (and asking if they had already had lunch, and he said they had.) I had in mind something to bring them though, like pizza dough with toppings. But then I thought to ask him if their oven was working. Well lucky I did, because it wasn’t working.

So I decided I’d just get a big tub of mini croissants and a bunch of different meats and cheese, and a few condiments just in case they didn’t have any.

In truth, I probably brought them enough for several meals.

He and I talked about lots of stuff while I watched him install some of his new flooring. It was coming out very nicely. The whole place is coming along well.

It’s a unique place that kind of cascades down a hill in various steps, including several layers on the back porch. One of those unique Sedona kind of places that started out a long time ago as a small house with a very oversized lot, and evolved into what it is now.

It also has a huge workshop which seems to be designed for working on an RV.

Anyway… I DID get out of the house. So that’s good.

Happy Father’s Day, Wheelizens!

Dogs are a goodness.

Not being snarky, but perhaps just call someone on the phone and have a conversation?

I second this “old skool” suggestion.

dv8 --

Good on you for getting out of the house and doing something nice for your friends. (SackO’SugarK would probably drool over that workshop even more than I would.)

If you want to know how the overly rich and overly entitled live, here’s a glimpse of the problems they are currently experiencing: https://nypost.com/2021/06/19/table-seekers-offer-big-bribes-to-get-into-hamptons-restaurants/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

I don’t actually begrudge them their bazillions, I just don’t like the attitude that often comes with it.
