Thanks BB! The first post of the New Year! Rick's doesn't count.

From musician to physicist...that must be a "first ever" career change. It says he may take over for David Attenborough, who is 90+++...it may be sooner rather than later.

And Sir David Attenborough went from being the Controller of BBC2 to the national treasure he is today.
I understand he doesn't sing well.

Peg loves telling people about this guy. From Wikipedia:

Brian May

Brian Harold May CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician and astrophysicist who achieved fame as lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. May was a co-founder of Queen with lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor. His songwriting contributions helped Queen become one of the most successful bands in rock history.
...
May was appointed a CBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005 for "services to the music industry and for charity work".[8] May earned a PhD degree in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007,[1][2] and was Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 2008 to 2013.[9] He was a "science team collaborator" with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission.[10][11] He is also a co-founder of the awareness campaign Asteroid Day.[12] Asteroid 52665 Brianmay was named after him.

I will end this year with sadnes and love .

Maybe because I'm getting older or not working anymore that I'm more and more preoccupied with things like this and I also notice that I can get very emotional sometimes for nothing. When I think back it started early one morning when I walked into the Cathedral in Santiago and sat there alone and started to cry spontaneously . It felt really good.

I have a lot of admiration for people like Andre, they do so much for others with so little and that is love.

Ndakazi "took her final breath in the loving arms of her caretaker and lifelong friend, Andre Bauma," at September 26 at age 14.


From Zwijndrecht in the Netherlands I wish you all a healthy 2022.

There are many good laughs here (I hope CC doesn't get offended though).

This is a confusing puzzle to assemble.

Does this include the kids that keep.on coming back.
I've been spending Christmas with my new activity of Schmutzwortsuche...
Yes, they are called boomerang kids...Australia has more adult kids returning home than all other countries.
What's Schmutzwortsuche...German sausages left over from Christmas? Google doesn't seem to know.

Rick, are you pulling the donkey's bristley leg? My leg is being pulled just reading that long "word". I thought I was a genius knowing how to spell supercalifragilisticexpielidocious.

Yes, you have introduced us to Bored Panda. I looked at the pictures...they kept going and going, so I stopped at #50 as that was enough amusement for one day.

Mahatma Gandhi often walked barefoot which produced an impressive set of callouses on his feet. He also ate very little, making him rather frail and with his odd diet he often suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.
 
Well that's a first I've ever heard of that definition of the word! That said, I really enjoyed seeing the movie "Ghandi" many years ago.
Hey, I took this picture today on my six mile loop walk in Gulf State park. It reminded me of you and your little camper.

That's a fancier version of the next larger model by the same manufacturer. I was given a tour by an owner. He said that in this trailer if you dropped the soap in the shower you had room to bend over to pick it up.

If the guy used liquid soap then bending over would not be a problem no matter how small the camper.

Thanks NYC...your selections have definitely whet my appetite. I am already reading "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" this week; it's a book I picked up at a resale shop. I'd seen the movie of the same name many years ago and last night I decided to re-watch it. It's a fascinating downer...if there is such a thing.
I think I will read "Lord of the Pies" next, followed by "War and Peas"...and "Oliver twixt" for dessert.

Chris, be careful while in GS not to get caught between these:
Sometimes I don't know where you come up with this stuff, Rick. I think I'll be safe as there are no hills here. I've yet to see a gator, snake, or armadillo...I did see Turga sunning himself on a log though.

I have too. The MASH surgeons have dexterous hands and so they have to defuse a badly dropped American bomb when the bomb squad is too busy. They have a manual. I have a feeling it was a real manual.
With so many people changing careers over the last few years I was a bit suspicious of the electrician who did a bit of work around the house recently.
I shouldn't have worried...he baked a great cake.

That video was too short...then what happened? I'll assume it was the final episode of "Mash".

Are you sure, Rick?
I just did a comparisin google search and Lt. Col. Henry on Mash died in a plane crash in March, 1975.
J.R. Ewing was shot in an episode airing in November, 1980, but I din't think he died. Either way it happened later.

I need some help from the women of the Not Serious.

A couple of nights ago Peg pulled down some Jambalaya mix. It's muy picante and she knows it and personally it doesn't bother her but she knows that sometimes I will refuse to eat stuff too hot. She mixed extra rice with it and it sort of worked; a little hotter and I would have found it intolerable.

Here's the help I need: I need an interpreter expert in the language of love to tell me how I should react to this statement of Peg's.

"Seeing as you didn't like it I won't buy it again ... ... ... unless it's on a good sale."
 
I can't help on the gender issue but perhaps I can help.on womens thinking.

Wife: I'm thinking of going shopping today.
Me: But we have no money.
Wife: There is a sale on.
Me: But we have no money.
Wife: I'll be making some savings.
Me: But we have no.money.

Peg is saying you are not her priority...sales come first of course. She loves them more than she loves you.
(I'm with you on not loving very spicy food. Think Brylcreem..."a little dab will do ya".)
 
A sale will always win out over a man...duh.

Ears are fine, provided that a) you are a cat person (most are not), and b) the cat likes you (actually that should be a) ... ; but I can manage it with most cats, sometimes even with stray, feral ones)

Legs ONLY if the cat is in need of some grooming assistance there (rare). Paws ONLY and only EVER if the cat actively and honestly wants it, i.e. you need to be a cat person in the first place to figure that one out.

Tail, well, generally NO -- and especially not if the cat hasn't accepted the legitimacy of your presence in its company .... Some cats hate it more than others.

I used to earn 50p once a week or so for washing our neighbour's car, but I do know what shovelling a path through thick snowfall is like !!
Ahhh yes, memories of earning money for chores as a kid. I have quite a few. Shoveling snow was definitely one of them for me. I liked doing it at night when the nearby street light made the fresh fallen, powdery snow glisten like diamonds.

Edit...I had other ways of earning a few coins, too...dishes, vacuum, dusting.
