    Kind of "What are you cooking" thread, but not yet. Googled slow cooker pot roast with mushroom gravy, and the first recipe calls for a roast, the usual suspects veg-wise, and... a can of mushroom gravy.

    Well, yeah, that would work.

    OK. Makes sense. My mind never goes there, maybe if it did I would be less confused by half the images I see.

    I feel ya. My new fanfic chapter has been up for two days now and still radio silence. HEAP PRAISE ON ME, PEOPLE! (Obviously you have rather more noble motives for wanting a response.)

    Yeah, I know. I'm old; I was around when Lynyrd Skynyrd got started. I was making a joke, sans smiley. You're still newish around here; you'll get used to me.

    Or not. I'm not entirely sure I'm used to me and I'm fifty-humphhumph years old.

    Dungeons and ninjas. Or Ninjas and Dragons whichever sounds cooler.

    This is just gonna be on every page now isn`t it?


    Remember when the corner store stopped selling the RC Cherry? Well, I like the store, like to support it especially since there's very little actual business in the neighborhood anymore. There [mall and don`t carry much, main bussiness is selling hoagies. Only thing I buy there is the RC, pop in for it Sunday after church lady informs me that they`ve bumped the prices up on them on the wholesaler end so from 99 cents to two something. It`s funny how RC cola was made because a coca cola wholesaler overcharged. Was the only place doing it at 99 cents gonna miss it.

    So again, send them the cat.

    Most overrated guitar solo in history, in my opinion. And the fact that they needed three guitars to get there compounds the crime.

    Yeah, it's just Riff 1 repeated over and over, then Riff 2 repeated over and over, then Riff 3 etc... Eventually, it just sounds like a practice session. Meh.

    I think it's just that thing. Like you don't exist in the silence. Anyway, time to brew a coffee with my cheap plastic coffee machine made by chinese children. Then go to my call centre job selling services to people who are on their lunch break from their call centre job selling services. My trainers are a bit knackered but I have bought another two pairs since I bought this pair and the last pair of air Jordans I bought Squeak! It's unbearable, they were like £100 so now I have to buy another pair and I don't really have the disposable income and who knows what's going to happen with brexit and my utility provider has increased my electricity bill and I'm getting a bit fat and I may get diet pills.

    Real m*therf*CK*Ng problems

    Use that line in your book somewhere. Fight Club III, whatever.

    My next book is going to be an erotic parody I think. So there is no place for it.

    "Oh mama!" Cried Tom, as Jerry squirmed delectably inside him.

    I had botox for medical reasons but I can't mention it without sounding both vain and in denial of deep body image issues.

    I grind my teeth in my sleep and botox in the masseter muscle is one of the few effective treatments. FYI if anyone's wondering, the injections barely hurt at all.

    How did Jerry get inside Tom? Did he take the food route or the, ah, gerbil route?

    Tom just kept begging "deeper" and Jerry obliged is my guess.

    ETA Kinda like the Bilqis scene in American Gods.

    Hmm. I didn't know American Gods was gay furry porn.

    Oh that reminds me. The Neil Gaiman short story, The Price. I need to reread that. At the time I thought it was just the most perfectly put together story.

    Maybe it's a regional thing. I'm sure there are places you could mention getting Botox and no one would raise an eyebrow.

    Nah, I used to run a little store like that with my family. Part of the reason I find excuses to keep going in. They don't get the cat because I knik it's not there fault. The whole saler fucks with the price and you still gotta at least break even. Other places that has rc cola chaeged more than them (them 99 cents Dollar general a buck something ataleast) so they allready marking it low.

    RC is owned by the Dr pepper Snapple group. Im sure they have security that would shoot the cat. Who knows where Cave finds his stuff

    My new FWW is this town. The snow plow could just turn there plow but indtead packs it inyo the driveway of everyone on the street. Than send a letter warning that it's Illegal to put snow out into the street. What about are driveways.

    Today's trash day..the garbage man has not yet picked it up. He's supposed to come at eight am. It's not a holiday, the weathers good where are you? You just bumped the bill up for no good dam reason and we paid it. Just don't show up that's fine, just tossed mine and my neighbors bins so they were laying in the middle of the street last time.

    We're still paying two water bills for the city and township. Used to be three but the city merged the water and sewage finally. Merged the price together to.

    Also need to screw the bottom off my laptop but don't seem to have the right sized screwdriver . May need to get one off the neighbor but they won't be home for a bit.

    Yeah....

    Too much botulinium and it's sure that victim does not raise any eyebrows.

    Ok, I found a small screwdriver and it was flat head....but I did find a little Philips' head. The fix was actually easy, a screw came loose on the hard drive and the casing letting it wiggle and it got crocked. Just had to straighten that out. The garbage man also came through...around noon. Cans were still just tossed carelessly. I have a friend who`s a garbage man for another area and even he commented on how shit they were back when he used to live up the road.

    The riffs are harmonized at least. One's a minor 3rd and the other is a major 6th? Something like that. Might actually be the 5th, which is the same for minor and major. So are the 4th, and 2nd, if anyone cares.

    Doubt... Self-Loathing.... just a few things annoying me at the moment.

    I am super excited about starting the training for my new job, but damn if those old uninvited intruders are not pop'n their heads in.
