I was diagnosed (T4A,N1B,M0, Stage IIIB) in 2017, at age 49y&9mo, back when the first colonoscopy was at age 50. I wish I had gotten scoped at 45, it likely would have been smaller and probably not in my lymph nodes. Yes, the article and its format are useful! Chemo sucked!

Apparently, the good people of Palo Alto, California make sacrifices of not-so-fresh fruit to the gods of local news.

I also cancelled, saying I wouldn't give money to Nazi scum. Probably got me put on a "list" somewhere.

Got my flu and pneumonia vaccines today. I wanted to get a Covid vaccine, but someone whose brain is controlled by a worm is preventing that. We are NOT amused! 😡

Why does Kash Patel always look like he just got an unexpected colonoscopy?

Good role models, by their nature, don’t boast and scream at the top of their lungs about how “good” they are. Sadly, that doesn’t get the attention that the loudmouths get.

What many people mistakenly call wireless "routers" (if it can't do OSPF, it ain't a router!) is properly called a Wireless Access Point (WAP). At least, we used to call them that before the song, now they're just AP's... 😜

And then The Orange Fool will re-negotiate a significantly weakened version of Obama's original agreement and claim a "victory." TACO!

And yet, 1990 remains 10 years ago...

“Mr. Crusher, we’ve seen a significant increase in your replicator requests for some odd items. Ancient snacks called ‘Doritos,’ ‘Cheezy Puffs,’ and some inexplicable food called a ‘Funyun.’ Explain yourself!”

Major Biden gnawing on a chew toy and pooping all over the oval office would have been better than this! (Major is the dog, although I may have described most of Drumpf's cabinet...)

A couple of times a year I need to tie a bowline, so I go to look it up for a refresher, but find nothing but lengthy videos! Just give me a diagram! Not everything needs a video where you blather on about who cares what! Also, get offa mah lawn!
