Hello, it is 1222am as I start this. This week was majorly shitty, figuratively and literally. The worst day was Mon. Since it is a gov building, there are security gates. The exit I was using has a 90 deg turn, and there are multiple lanes. When I was going through the gates, I heard a loud sound. I don't recall if there was a bump. I had scraped the passenger side of my car against the concrete posts. My mirror was hanging down. I pulled over to the side. A guard filled out a report, but I didn't get in trouble. The guard walked over to the gate, then brought me the actual mirror, and a big piece of the plastic housing. On Sat, I taped the mirror back up. The adhesive on the actual glass was somehow still sticky, so was able to reattach it. Hopefully, all of that will hold. I had a second thing happen, but that was meal related, so I'll mention it later. Thu of the previous week, I went to Dollar Tree. I bought a Big Mama pickled sausage. Either at the store, or when I got home, I remember smelling the vinegar pickling liquid. I didn't seem to see any hole, so I figured it was just the liquid was that that strong. On Mon, I was moving it, and I felt something. I looked, and there was a slit in the package. Even though it looked and smelled fine, I knew it wouldn't be safe to eat. I got so mad that I threw it out the front door. The next day, I went out and put it on the street. Eventually, it got smooshed. On Thu, I had some grocery issues, but I won't go into them. I had a meal issue, which i will mention later. On Fri, I had some snack related stuff, which I'll also mention below.
Ok, now I can get to the food.
Sun: Before I had my meal, I had some of the store-brand cottage cheese. I had some plain, and some with black pepper. It was good.
My meal was 3 things, and 1 extra. I had a box of Kellogg's Town House crackers. They were good. My meat item was a can of Deutsche Kuche Herring Fillets in Mango Pepper Sauce. I took them out of the fridge. They were good. I also had the other half of the bag of store-brand mozzarella I opened last week. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. The extra item was a can of DT olives. they were good. I took them out of the fridge.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I finished the cottage cheese. I had some plain, and some with black pepper. It was good.
I had 2 snacks. One was a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I think the liquid gooified, but I'm not 100% sure. I also had a bag of Brim's Fiery Hot cheetos. They were good. There was a bit of heat.
And now for my meal. I was intending to have a package of Bar-S Classic hotdogs, and use the other 4 buns from the bag I opened last week. The hd were in the freezer. On Mon, I took them out of the freezer to put in the fridge to thaw out. When i took it out, it was puffed up. When i originally put the package in the freezer, it looked fine. The puffiness usually would be a sign the hotdogs went bad. I was confused because I thought the freezer should've killed any bacteria on the hd. I poked a hole in the package to let the air out, and it didn't smell bad. I looked at the hd, and they looked fine. Maybe the water was a tad cloudier than normal. Every day before I disposed of them, I squeezed the package, and the air smelled fine. I thin the hd still looked fine. I think I did eventually see some white spots on the inside of the package, which could be bacteria. I did make the decision to not eat them. I'll talk about how I got rid of them a bit later.
Because of that, I had to change what I had for my meal. The main item was a 48oz can of Sweet Sue Chicken & Dumplings. It was good. I was originally going to eat them right out of the can, but I ended up having time to heat them up. My snack item was a bag of Clancy's potato chips from ALDI. They were Bratwurst flavor. They were decent. There was a bit of a bratwurst taste. I don't like bratwurst. The taste wasn't strong enough for me to give them a bad rating. I also had a 10oz "wheel" of Pueblo Lindo queso fresco. It was very good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. I think it had a bit of a milky taste, but somehow it wasn't a bad thing. I got this at ALDI after work while making a pre-planned visit.
There was a negative. Close to when I was done eating, I got some pressure. I went in and took a dump. There was orange it it, and it made my butthole burn. This was from those cheetos I had earlier.
On Wed before I left for work, I went in and took a liquid dump. It was red, and again, made my butthole burn. As of typing this, I haven't taken a dump since.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I had 3 snacks. First was the last 8ox bag of discount brand fried onions. They were good. A bit later, I had a Big Mama pickled sausage. It was good. I bought it earlier that day when I was out shopping. I then had a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip guacamole tortilla chips. They were good.
I got the main part of my meal at Arby's. I got 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. I dunked the 1st and 2nd, and soaked the 3rd. For the 4th, I dunked the first half, then soaked most of the second half.
What I had with them has a story. I was debating what I would have with my sandwiches. I wanted to get 2 more. I didn't want to get them where I got these because I have a fear that the longer I wait, the more of a chance of something unsanitary happening. I then went to another location that I actually passed earlier. When I got there, there was a sign on the door saying only the drive thru was open. I then left. I went to yet another location. This one also had a sign about the drive thru. Since I couldn't get more sandwiches, I had to get something else. The shopping center across the street has a grocery store. It is big and fancy, but their hot case sucks, and doesn't have a good selection. It was the same this time. The only thing I may have gotten was potato wedges. I think they may have had gravy also. I left. I ended up going to Walmart. I got 2 things there.
The 2 things I got were a dozen jalapeno poppers and 5 flautas. I warmed them up in the microwave. The poppers were good, but they seemed to be a bit dried out. The flautas were good, but were more browned than the ones I usually get from the one grocery chain.
If I had gotten the extra sandwiches, I would've had something different for my snack; that is if I did have anything.
Fri: My first snack was ~half of an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it at 1237am during the rebroadcast of a station's 10pm news.
I have a story about my 2nd and 3rd items. I had to go to a grocery store to get some things. I went there, and also looked at the hot case. The only thing they had that I might have bought was something that looked like baked ziti. I decided not to. I then went to the relatively close store that I get fish and/or egg salad at. They were totally out of fish, and also shrimp. They had some egg salad, but it didn't look that good. They did have fried green beans, but I didn't feel like getting those. There was also beef gravy which I could've dipped them in. I had taken the package of bad hd with me. After I got in my car, I went to a place in the parking lot between the store and a bank. I put the package on the ground. I then turned the car around and ran the package over. I did this 2 more times. The hd were all smooshed. I then went to Arby's and got something. At the store I went to get other stuff, they didn't have one of the items. I went over to their other store in the area. they had that item. I then went to the hot case. There was nothing there I wanted, but I got 2 things in the cold case. One of them was to have with my sweet stuff. I saw that item previously at the first store, but this time when I wanted it, it wasn't there.
My second snack was the item from Arby's. It was a Steakhouse Garlic Ribeye Sandwich. I warmed it up in the microwave before I had it. It was very good. I could taste the garlic. Like everything else, it was actually smaller than depicted in the commercial. The real negative was the price. I think it was almost $8. This means I won't get it again. I had it at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My third snack was the item from the store cold case. It was some kind of pasta salad. It was bowtie pasta, some pieces of fresh mozzarella, broccoli, dressing, and some other small pieces of vegetables. I took it right out of the fridge. It was good, but I liked the tortellini salad I had the previous week better. I had this at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My fourth snack was a bag of Great Value croutons. They were the Caesar variety. They were good. I had them after 7pm Sat.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I had the cereal and pb with the other stuff. Speaking of which, I opened a new box of cereal. I had an ALDI cupcake. It was good. I took it out of the freezer. I had 4 of the mints from Menards. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had some of the ALDI peanuts. They were good. I had some of the GV shredded coconut. It was good. I took it out of the fridge.
I opened a bag of store-brand semi-sweet chocolate chips. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
I also had 2 new things. One was a package of Keebler cookies I opened. They were the Chips Deluxe Double Chocolate Chip with m&m's. They were good. I took them off the shelf. The other item was from the grocery store cold case. It was strawberries & cream. It was ok. Since one of the ingredients was fresh strawberries, they added tartness, which I wasn't to keen on. I wish they just used the frozen cooked strawberries. I finished all of it though.
One more thing to mention. I was going to open something else, but forgot to. This was because there was an empty pretzel bag sitting on top of it, so I didn't see it. I remembered a little bit after I was done eating the sweet stuff. I'll be sure to open it next week.
That is all for the food. I know what my "Sat" "meal" is. My Sun meal will be an experiment regarding using new ingredients in this application.
Next week is the Super Bowl. I will be changing my schedule like I did the previous week.
It is 252pm as I post this SNL was new(Pablo Pascal/Coldplay), so I watched it. There was just a little bit of glitching., so I will have to watch those parts again. Since I got my reading done earlier, I didn't need to do any during commercials or after. I didn't type during the commercials. After SNL, I got up and sot some of the food ready for later. In then sat down to type. I did so until 2, when I went to take my nap. I got up for 3, even though the TMZ weekend edition wasn't on. I got the food out. I then was eating and typing, doing more eating. I was slowed down a bit because I had a few stomach cramps. I was done eating after 4. I typed a bit until I fell asleep. I did the wake up/fall asleep thing until 744am. I then got up and put the food stuff away. I then did something else, then went to take a nap. I got up at 9 for Meet The Press. I was able to stay awake and watch all of it. I didn't do any typing or reading. I continued just watching tv until around 1030am. I then resumed typing, but shortly after, I started getting colon pressure. I then went in and took a dump. I sat back down a bit before 1115. I've been typing until after 130pm. I then went in and took a second dump, aka aftershit. I fucking hate that. I think I went back and typed a bit. I then stopped at 2pm to read. I stopped reading at 230 to watch Pawn Stars and type.
Now I will talk about some stuff. First, this past week, Cindy Williams died. She played Shirley on Laverne & Shirley. RIP to her. The one major news item this week was the Chinese spy balloon flying over the US. It was finally shot down after it went over the ocean. Biden wanted to shoot it down earlier, but the military advised him it wasn't safe. there was some Retardican on MTP this morning complaining about the balloon not getting shot down earlier. He is another example of them being hypocrites. The Repugnantcan party has a boner for the military, so they would've also listened to them. Also, the balloon flew over mostly red states. If it had been shot down, and caused any damage, and/or injuries/deaths, they would've been screaming about that. They would have been calling for Congressional hearings and/or impeachment. I'm surprised the Air Force didn't shoot some kind of missile near it to zap it with an emp to render it inert. They prob have something like that, but didn't want to risk revealing it over this.
I guess that is all for this week. I should be back next week.

On the Tue between Xmas and NY, I went to the north of the river pawn shops. For the most part, I visited them in reverse order.
The first stop was the "strip club" pawn shop. The old Peavey pa head was still there. There was an Ion combo amp. There was a Simmons DA50 electronic drum amp for $129. There was a Peavey mixer. There was some brand of dj mixer. There was a Numark dual turntable box. I forget if it was cd's or lp's. The Sadowski pedal was still there. For guitars, it looks like the Jackson, Epi, and guitar like an Epi lp special were still there from last time. There was also a Laguna guitar with an hh pu config. There was an Ibanez strat with an hss pu config. There was a Dean Playmate strat with a hs pu config. There was also some model of First Act guitar. For kb, there were 2 Casios. There was also a KORG "reissue" of one of their MS series synths.
My next stop was the "new" pawn shop. I first stopped at the gun counter. There were 3 12ga coach guns, and a 20ga. I didn't notate the prices. There was also a 12ga "bullpup" config shotgun. There were 2 violins. The Fender and Ibanez amps were still there. I also noted a Behringer amp and one or more from Crate. For guitars, there was an LTD F-50. There were 2 Squier strats, with one having an hss pu config. There was also an Austin strat. There was a Dean ML. There was an Epi lp special with 2 knobs and 2 P-90 pu.
I then went to the "tornado" Cash America. I'm thinking there weren't any guitars behind the counter. There were 2 trumpets and 3 saxophones though. For guitars, there was a Kona strat. There was a Yamaha strat with a hss pu config. I also noted another strat, but either forgot the brand or couldn't read it. There was a Washburn Paul Stanley model. There was an Epi lp special jr with 1 hb and 2 knobs. There was also an LTD version of an lp special. It had a hh pu config, 2 knobs, and 24 frets. There was also a Squire tele for $159. For amps, there was a Behringer 2x12 combo, and a Peavey Austin 400. There were 3 mixers. There was one from Behringer. There was a Pyle Promix. There was a Yamaha EMX-7.
The last stop was Alpha Pawn. There was a sign saying they were closing. Either the sifn or the worker told me the stuff was going to be moved to one of the other 2 locations. For guitars, There was a Yamaha strat with a hss pu config. There was a Schecter with a hh pu config, 24 frets, and a fixed bridge. There was also a Samick Greg Bennett lp. For effects, there was a Digitech GNX4, and a Line 6 M9.

Hello, it is 1120pm Sat as I start this. The main shitty thing that happened this week was that Nextdoor wasn't working properly. It came back up Fri night. I started looking at it during Smackdown, but not during actual matches. I slowed down a bit while talking on the phone to my mom. I finally got caught up on all the posts I missed at around 1230am Sat. On Thu, we had a bit of a surprise snowstorm very early in the morning. Earlier in the week, they knew it was going to snow, but it was just supposed to be a little bit. On the 10pm news, the stations were saying it would be a lot more. It was one of those storms where the amount was inconsistent. I didn't seem to get much more than a dusting at my house, but the main road seemed to have more, as it was slippery. According to the news, my former town got over 3in, and the airport got around 4. The drive to work was actually good, because apparently, a lot of people were too scared to go out, meaning way less traffic. The snow on the interstate had all melted, so it was just wet. I was getting low on gas, so I decided to visit a gas station near work. It is unmanned, with just pumps. The reason why I'm mentioning this is because while gas was $3.15 everywhere else, it was $3.79 here. Holy price-gouge Batman! On Fri, I had a case of the burps. Fortunately, I didn't have to take a dump.
I think I can get to the food.
Sun: My side item was ~half a 2lb bag of tater tots. I baked them in the oven. They were good.
The main item was an experiment. I had hamburgers. I took a 1lp roll of hamburger meat and made it into 4 patties. I tried to made a depression in the middle of each to keep them from "doming". I put some salt and pepper on each side. I heated up the pan and put canola oil in it. I then put the patties in. I let them fry for a few min, then turned them over. after a few more min, I took them out of the pan. After that, I put in an 8oz package of mushrooms I cut up. I fried them for only a couple of min, then took the out of the pan. I ate some pieces before and after frying. They were good. Then I took the buns and toasted/fried them in oil. Besides the mushrooms, the other new item was an 8oz package of cream cheese. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. I cut it up into 8 pieces. I spread each piece on each pun half. Put mushrooms on the bottom halves, put the patties on, put more mushrooms on, then put on the top halves. As for the taste, they were ok. Even though I pressed the middle of the patties, they did dome up. The other main issue was that like the last time, they were pink in the middle. I'm wondering if the doming had anything to do with that. I can't recall how much of each component I could taste. I was going to try some mustard on some bites, but I didn't remember it until after I sat down. I didn't feel like getting back up to get it.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
On Tue, I opened up a new bottle of hot sauce. It was a store-brand chili sauce.
Tue: I had 3 snacks. First was a bag of wonton strips from Dollar Tree. They were good. Later, I had a can of Vigo Jumbo Squid In Sunflower And Olive Oil. They were good. I took them off the shelf. I then had a bag of Fieras Spicy Sticks. They were the Chili & Lime variety. They were good. I recall there being a good amount of heat.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen broccoli. I cooked it using the healthy method. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Northern Catch sardines in oil. They were good. I took the can out of the fridge.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: My first snack was a Tijuana Mama pickled sausage. It was good. I think there was a bit of heat. I have a cold sore on my lip. The vinegar from the sausage stung where the cold sore is.
Later, I had another snack from Chruch's Chicken. I'm not looking up what it's called, but it's a honey biscuit, 1 leg, and 2 thighs. For the chicken, I got the spicy variety. I heated the stuff up in the microwave before I ate it. The biscuit was good. The chicken was good. I think it was a bit spicy.
I got my meal at Arby's. I had 2 large orders of crinkle fries. They were good. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate. My main item was 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches, since they are still part of the 2/$7 promo. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. In dipped the first 3 and soaked the last one.
I wanted to have 6 sandwiches. I mentioned last week about not getting all 6 in one place. Besides the main one I go to, there are 2 other relatively close ones. I called those other 2, and they were only doing drive thru. I then ended up just getting the 4 sandwiches. If I had gotten the other 2, I wouldn't have got the chicken.
I was going to get something at KFC for a snack. I decided not to because it was getting late, and I had to stop at the WM Market to get my prescriptions. After I did, I decided to go to Church's because it is near my house, and I saw I had enough time. Also, I have a KFC coupon sheet, and wanted to make sure what I wanted didn't have a coupon.
Also, before I ate, I had dozed off. Because of that, I ate much later than I wanted to.
When I was halfway through my meal, I got ass pressure, and had to go take a dump. That also caused me to eat way later than I wanted to. Before I got dressed for work on Fri, I had more pressure, and I went and took a liquid dump. For both times, my butthole was burning. I'm thinking it was due to the chicken.
Fri: My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it at 1237am during the rebroadcast of a station's 10pm news.
I got my second snack from the hot section of a grocery store. It was almost 1lb of breaded shrimp. I warmed it up in the microwave before I ate it. It was good. I had it at 137am during another station's 10pm news.
I had 2 things for my third snack. Both from the same store as my second snack. One was about 1lb of breaded cod squares. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good, but not as good as the swai. The worker said they had run out of swai, so that's why they had cod. The other item was a small container of egg salad. I took it out of the fridge. It was good. If there was no fish or shrimp, I would've gotten a bigger container. It's kind of a shame that I didn't because it looked so good. The worker said it was recently made. I had these items at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My last snack was a bag of croutons from ALDI. They were the Italian Seasoned variety. They were pretty good. I had them a bit after 7pm. You may be wondering why I didn't have WM ones. When I went to WM to buy croutons, the price had jumped from $.98 to $1.30. The ALDI ones were still $.97.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I had the cereal and pb with the other stuff. I had an ALDI cupcake. It was good. I took it out of the freezer. I had the last 3 mints from Menards. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. There was something odd about the mints. I bought 2 boxes. They said there were 10 mints to a box. The first box actually had 11, and the second box 12. I had some of the ALDI peanuts. They were good. I finished one can and opened another. I had some of the GV shredded coconut. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I had some of the Keebler chocolate chip cookies. See last week's post for the exact kind. They were good. I took them out of the freezer.
I had a new item. It was a bag of candy from Sathers. It was Sour Neon Night Crawlers, aka sour gummi worms. They weren't too bad. They were definitely better than the shark candy. They were a bit sour. I was hoping they would be more so. This is what I mentioned last week about forgetting to open.
That's it for the food.
I won't be having a "Sat" "meal" today. Mostly, it is because I am having a bit of a big Sun meal. Also, I don't have a "Sat" type of item, except for something that will correspond to a Sun meal.
Tonight is the Super Bowl. I will be watching it because the Chiefs are in it. I will be changing my schedule to watch it, like I did with the AFC Championship game. I'm basing my meal on the SB, but will not be eating it during it.
Next weekend is the Presidents Day holiday weekend. On Sat, I'm planning on getting my car looked at, like I always do. Also, like always, I will be having some different/special meals. I also think I will be posting next week's installment on Mon or Tue.
It is 1127am as I post this. SNL was a repeat(Steve Martin & Martin Short/Brandi Carlile). I think I watched a little bit and/or read Yahoo! News for a bit. I then got up and got my food ready for later. I then sat down and started typing. I did so until I got sidetracked after 130am reading about the NYPD due to having Barney Miller on. At 2, I went and took my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got my food and sat down. I was eating and typing but more on the eating side. I got done eating before 4. I slowed down typing. I fell asleep close to 5am. I woke up and fell back asleep a few times. I woke up finally before 7. I did a bit of typing. I stopped because my insides were feeling like I might've needed to get up and take a dump. I eventually got up and put the food stuff away. I then did some other stuff. Then I went to bed to take my nap to get up for 9. I then got up to watch Meet The Press. I just sat and watched it for a while. I eventually started typing also. I stayed awake for the whole thing. I then watched This Week and Washington Week while typing.
The major world event this week was the earthquake in Turkey/Syria. As of 20 min ago, CNN is reporting the death toll is 33000. I'm guessing a lot of those are because there are not strict building construction codes, and that it seems outside the US, LOTS of people live in apartments. Songwriter Burt Bacharach died this week at the age of 94. You may be wondering what's the big deal about a guy so old is. I had heard of him, and thought the same thing. Then I saw an article on the CNN webpage. This guy wrote a fuckton of well-known songs. Go and research this yourself. You may be too young to remember these, but believe me, they are known. Also, he was born in KC. Apparently, the US has shot down 2 more mystery objects. They described one as "cylindrical-shaped". That evokes thoughts of an actual UFO. They said it was only as big as a car. I guess it isn't out of the realm of possibility that there are "adult" aliens that are tiny. The last thing I wanted to bring up was the State of the Union address, more specifically the Republican response. It was done by newly-elected fat/ugly governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She was spouting off about Biden being too old. Trumphole mentioned that during the 2020 election. He is thinking of running in 2024. He would be older than Biden was in 2020. She also brought up cultural shit. That is just a smokescreen to hide that the GOP has no answers on actual important issues. She also orally pooped out something like "there is a line between normal and crazy". I'm here to let her know that her side is actually on the "crazy" side. Some of they stuff they are doing sounds awfully like things going on in Europe around 90 yrs ago.
I guess that is all for now. Be back next week, even if later. And, GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the Wed between Xmas and NY, I went to the pawn shops and music store near work. I also went to another pawn shop.
I first went to the shitty pawn shop. There was a very interesting guitar. It was a Gibson. The body was a Les Paul shape, but I don't recall if the top was flat or curved. The 2 differences were that it had a whammy bar, and the pickup switch was located where it is on a SG. For the neck, it had a locking nut and a curved headstock. They wanted $450 for it. I've never seen any guitar like it. I asked people at 2 music stores, and they couldn't id it. I forget if I asked anyone at the 2 Guitar Center locations I visited.
I then went to a Cash America. There were a drumset by Tama and one by Ludwig. There were 2 glockenspiels, a clarinet, and a plucked dulcimer. There was a Soundcraft mixer. There were 2 Casios. For effects, there was a white pedal that appeared to be a wah. For amps, there was a BOSS Katana head. There was also a NUX combo. For guitars, there were 2 Squier strats. There were 2 Epiphone lp standards. One had 2 humbuckers, and the other had P-90s. There was actually a 3rd, but it had a ¾ sized body.
My next stop was a nearby music store. This place doesn't really have used guitars and amps, but they do have a lot of used effects. That's where I'll start. There was a Mesa Boogie Subway Bass DI-Preamp pedal. There was also an MXR bass DI pedal. There were 2 Digitech Whammy pedals. There was an Electro-Harmonix vocoder pedal. There was also what I thought was an E-H wah. There were 2 Tech 21 SansAmp Fly pedals; one for guitar, the other for bass. There were some IK Multimedia Amplitube pedals, but I didn't note which ones. There were also some Fender effects pedals. For kb, there was a KORG minilogue. There were also 2 Nord kb. I think I tried to turn on the B3 simulators on both, but don't recall if I was able to.
My last stop was the "edge of the hood" Cash America. There was some digital piano where I've never heard of the brand. There was a Peavey mixer. There was also a Joyo American Sound pedal, which is a Fender amp simulator.

Hello again! It is 1122pm Sun as I start this. As I told you last week, on Sat, I went to have my oil changed, and everything else checked out. There were no issues with the car. I visited a bunch of places after that, did some shopping, and bought stuff to eat. Before I proceed, I have something else to say: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They won the Super Bowl, which is awesome, and the best part of the past week. I can't really recall the rest of the week. I stayed home on Mon to work because I was afraid my meal would make me have to take emergency dumps during work. That didn't happen, and I didn't take a dump until Wed. I went in the office to work on Tue. On Wed, they closed the complex because the end of the Chiefs SB victory parade was nearby. On Thu, there was a bit of ice on the ground in the morning, so I decided to stay home. Also, I wanted to save some time driving to get my meal. Also, on Thu, there was an email saying the water in the area of the complex I work at was shut off due to a water main break. This time, the water was not going in the room where I work. At the end of the day, they said people should work from home on Fri. I chose to do that because I figured that with my luck, I would have to take an emergency dump, and have to look for another restroom. When I opened my email, I saw they sent one at 732am saying the water was back on. It was still good to stay home, because I got more time to get my stuiff ready for Sat. I also did some of that on Thu. There was another event that made my week suck. I will mention that at the bottom. Before I got sidetracked, I was going to say that doing stuff on Sat messed up my regular schedule.
On the last day of the Presidents Day holiday, my garbage dispsoal has stopped working. Also, I'm having some laundry issues. I will go into more detail next week.
Now I can get to the food.
First, I need to make a correction for last week. I do have another bag of pretzels. It was in my bedroom, so I didn't see it.
Now I can get to this week's meals.
Sun: This meal was inspired by the Super Bowl. I had 5 things. I had 2 meat items. One was a 16oz bag of Sea Best cooked shrimp. It was pretty good. the other item was an 8oz pkg of Louis Kemp imitation lobster. It was good. I took these out of the fridge a few hrs before my meal. I had an 8oz bag of store-brand shredded mozzarella. I put it in my small pot with some canola oil. I heated it up until it melted, and there was a bit of brown on it. It was good. I had 3 cans of Campbell's onion soup. It was good. I also had a Party Size(15oz) bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. They were pretty good. They seemed a bit less hot than usual. There was a negative in that was actually too many cheetos. The regular size bag is enough.
I did try some of the store-brand chili sauce with the shrimp and "lobster". I can't really recall what I thought of that.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: My first snack was a bag of Dollar Tree wonton strips. They were good. Later I had a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I took the can out of the fridge. I'm pretty sure the liquid gooified. My last snack was a bag of ranch Bugles. they were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen broccoli. I made it using the healthy method. It was good plain and with my 3 items. I was a bit surprised, because my cabbage is starting to decay.
My meat item was a can of Northern Catch sardines in oil. They were good. I took them out of the fridge.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: My snack was a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip guacamole tortilla chips. They were good.
I got my meal at Arby's. I had 6 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches. I warmed them up in the microwave before I had them. They were good. I dipped the first 3, and had enough juice to soak the other 3.
I did the thing where I got 4 at one location, and the other 2 at another location. When I was at the second location, I asked the worker if she knew when the 2/$7 promo for the FD&S would end. She didn't know, but she said at that location, the FD&S is always 2/$7.
Fri: My snack was a bag of Clancy's pork rinds. They were the Hot & Spicy variety. They were good. I think there was some heat.
My meal was a frozwn pizza from a brand called Tonucci. It was the Supreme variety. It was good. It had a very thin crust.
Sat: The first thing I had was from Hardee's. It was a Philly Cheesesteak Breakfast Burrito. It was ok. There were 2 negatives. One was the price. The other was the cheese. It was cheddar, which I hate. Thankfully, I only tasted a little bit of it. In the commercial, it was creamy. On mine, it was rather runny. That could've been due to it sitting in a warmer for quite a while.
I got 2 things in the hot case of a grocery store. One was a burrito(more accurately, a chimichanga). It was good. I had it with a packet of Cholua hot sauce. The other item was a piece of breaded swai. It was good.
I got things at 2 restaurants before I went home. I ate these things while shaving. First was 2 Reuben sandwiches from Arby's. They were good. Then I had the 2 new wraps from KFC that are part of a 2/$5 promo. I got 1 of each. First was The Classic KFC Wrap. Second was the Spicy Slaw KFC Wrap. They weren't that good. I know that this is because they were cold when I had them. I didn't heat them up. The SS did have some heat though. Another negative is that they are really small. Even so, I do want to do a redo.
Later, I made some popcorn. I put some kernels in my pot with some canola oil. I turned the burner up to around 8. I put the lid on the pot. When they started popping, I waited a little bit. I then dumped the popcorn in the container I used before. I hadded some canola oil, and shook the container to mix in the oil. I did this 2 more times. The container was almost full. It was pretty good. I ate it with my chopsticks. It took less time to eat it than I thought it would.
Sun: The main part of my meal was 2 19oz packages of breaded fish fillets from ALDI. They were good. I also had a Party Size(12.5oz) bag of Lay's potato chips. They were the Salt & Vinegar variety. While they were good, like the Cheetos, there was a bit too much. I had a can of Campbell's Chunky soup. It was the Spicy Steak and Potato. It was good. It didn't seem spicy though. I had an 8oz bag of store-brand shredded mozzarella. I put it in my small pot with some canola oil. I heated it up until it melted, and there was a bit of brown on it. It was good.
That's it for the food. Tonight is the last night od the PD weekend. I will be having my last special meal.
It is 819pm Mon as I post this. Due to me going with my car, and other stuff, I didn't get to keep to my regular schedule. I just wanted to say that SNL was a repeat(Austin Butler/Lizzo). It was glitching way worse than the first time it was on. I just need to watch part of the opening sketch to consider it done.
Here is where I talk about stuff. The main item in the news was that former Pres. Jimmy Carter is getting hospice care. He is 98, and apparently will be another famous person who will not get to be 100. Also, Richard Belzer died. He is most famous for playing John Munch, originally on Homicide: Life on the Street, then Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He was originally a stand-up comic. I wanted to go back last week regarding Sarah Huckabee Sanders making the Republican rebuttal of the State of the Union. She made some crack about Democrats not knowing what a woman is. Well, they do know she is not one. Back to this week, Nikki Haley also declared she is running for President. I don't think she will get far once it becomes more widely known that her birth name is Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Remember, the GOP is not known for their diversity. The main thing for me that happened this week was that Microsoft killed Internet Explorer this week. When I was opening IE, I would get a window saying it was going away on Feb14. On the 15th, I got an update. It was opening MSN in Edge, and closing the MSN tab in IE, but leaving the Lenovo(the brand of my computer) tab open. On Sat, when I finally got to sit down, I opened IE. It opened Edge, and closed, so in essence, they killed it. I can still use it to look at pics though, which is good. I may be able to look at htm(l) files on my computer too, but I haven't checked yet.
See you all next week.

Hello, it is 1258am as I start this. The week was relatively ok. The main thing I was going to discuss was the stuff I said I would last week. The first thing was the garbage disposal. I don't put food shit in there. The only things are soap scum stuff from the sink and random loose hairs. I use that sink instead of the one in the bathroom because that one sucks. Every so often, water will kind of back up into the sink. I would run the gd for a sec or two, and that would go away. Once in a while, when I turned on the switch, I would hear a faint hum, and the gd wouldn't turn. I think i would put my hand in there and turn the inside a bit. Then it would start working again. This time, that didn't help. I turned it both ways. After a few tries, I didn't even hear the hum. The drain hasn't backed up yet, so I haven't had to deal with it. The other issue was my laundry. Due to my ocd, I get a bunch of soap, and other cleaning materials, on my pants. Because of this, I soak them in a tub of water to rinse out before I put them in the washer. I soak other stuff too, due to both soap, and dirt. Somehow, the soap wasn't rinsing out, and the pants were slimy. I was able to squeeze soap out of them. On Sun, I put them in the washer by themselves without any detergent. I set it to heavy soil, hot water, and 2 rinses. After that, there were a ton of small flakes inside each pair. I took them out, and put them back in the plastic tub. I then did my regular laundry. When I was putting it in the dryer, one of my shirts had a bunch of the soap flakes on it. I can't recall if it was in the tub with the pants. Whether it was or not, I did not put it in the dryer, and it went in the tub with the pants. I put the rest of the other stuff in dryer. It all came out ok. I let the shirt and pants soak all week, dumping/replacing the water once every day. On Fri, I went in the shower. I put each pair of pants on to rinse off even more. The shirt was fine, so I didn't have to do that with it. Earlier "today"(Sat), I looked at the pants. There were no flakes, but they were both a still bit slimy. I put them. and the shirt, in the washer with detergent. When the washer was done, everything seemed fine, so I put it all in the dryer. I haven't taken the stuff out yet. There were 2 shopping snafus, which I won't elaborate on.
I will get to the food now.
Mon: This was the last of the PD holiday meals. I had Hot Pockets. I had 7 boxes. Each box has 2 HP. I'll list them now: Philly Steak & Cheese Seasoned Crust Four Cheese Pizza Garlic Buttery Crust Chicken Bacon Ranch Crispy Buttery Crust Four Cheese Pizza Garlic Buttery Crust Pepeoni Pizza Garlic Buttery Crust Meatball & Mozzarella Garlic Buttery Crust Pepeoni & Sausge Pizza Garlic Buttery Crust As for the order, I know I had the Philly ones first and Chicken ones third. I'm thinking the first pair of FC were second. I don't recall the rest. As for the taste, there is an issue. Like other things, the HP go from boiling hot to room temp very quickly. I was burning my lips and mouth on the filling from the Philly. I think it would've tasted better if I wasn't getting burned. I do recall the Chicken being really good. I guess the others were ok. They would prob taste better if they were warmer.
Tue: I didn't have anything.
Wed: I opened up a new snack item. It was Simms Snack sticks from ALDI. They were the Turkey Sausage variety. I had 2. They were good. I took them off the shelf
I had another snack. It was a bag of Clancy's pork rinds. They were the plain variety. They were good.
Since I was going to have my regular big meal the next day, I decided to have some small items for this meal. I had a bag of Brim's Fiery Hot cheetos. They were good. I recall them not having much heat. I had a Dollar Tree summer sausage. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I had a can of DT black olives. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I had a can of store-brand condensed(add a can of water) tomato soup, When I was cooking the soup, I added a bit of all my spices and condiments, including mustard. I also added a few drops of canola oil. The soup was good. I can't recall if I could taste any of the added stuff.
Thu: I had 2 of the Simms Snack Sticks. I took them out of the fridge.
For my first snack, I had a bag of DT wonton strips. They were good.
My second snack was a redo. I went to KFC and got the 2/$5 chicken wraps deal. Again, I got one of each: The Classic KFC Wrap, Spicy Slaw KFC Wrap. I heated them up in the microwave this time. They were pretty good. I forget what order I had them in. I do recal the SS didn't seem as spicy this time. Since I consider this redo a success, I won't get these again due to the price.
I got my meal at Arby's and Popeyes. I heated everything up in the microwave before I ate it.
The first item was a Gyro from Arby's. It was the Greek variety. It was good. I used a coupon for it.
My next item was a Classic Flounder Fish Sandwich from Popeyes. While it was good, it didn't taste any different than other fish sandwiches. Because of that, I won't get one again due to the price. There is a spicy version I would like to try though. Another negative was that the pouch it was in was lined with foil. I had to take it out and put in an old McD wrapper before I microwaved it.
I then had 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches from Arby's because the 2/$7 promo is still going on. I dipped the first 2, and had enough juice to soak the last 2.
I'm surprised the promo was still going on this week because lent started on Wed. Even though I love these sandwiches, I wish the promo would end so I can get other stuff. BK has some chicken sandwiches I want to try. Also, I'm guessing one or both major grocery chains will have a sale on Reuben sandwiches around St. Patrick's Day.
Fri: I had 2 of the Simms Snack Sticks.
My first snack was ~half of an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I think I had it close to 2am. I was going to have it at 137am, but I had fallen asleep earlier.
My second snack was a Smart Ones Entree. It was Chicken Parmesan. It was comprised of some spaghetti, a breaded chicken patty with some cheese on it, and some spaghetti sauce. Both main components were good. There were 2 negatives regarding the cooking. The instructions say to stir in the sauce and cook some more. It was a bit hard to stir in the sauce. Then when I was cooking it after, there was some kind of popping. When I took the container out of the microwave, I saw there were some spots of sauce inside. I had this around 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ. I would have this again.
I had 2 more of the Simms Snack Sticks before I had my third snack.
My third snack was a bag of croutons from ALDI. They were the Cheese Garlic variety. They were good. I had these around 715pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb. I finished one jar of pb. It was Skippy Creamy. It was good. I also opened another jar of pb. I had a Yoplait yogurt. It was pina colada flavor. It was good. I've never had the actual drink, so I don't know how close it tastes to that. It did have a bit of a pineapple taste. I had some of the Sathers Sour Neon Night Crawler(gummi worms). They were good. I had some of the peanuts. They were good. I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had the last of the little bit of coconut. It was good. I had the last ALDI cupcake. It was good. I took it out of the freezer. I finished the Keebler chocolate chip cookies. They were good. I took them out of the freezer.
I also had a new item. It was Charms Fluffy Stuff Cotton Candy. When I saw this at DT, I thought it would be a bunch of individually packaged golf ball sized puffs of cotton candy. When I opened the bag, it was just a big wad of cotton candy. It was multicolored. As for the taste, it was ok. I think the last/only time I had some was at least 30 yrs ago. I'm not sure if the colors were corresponding to different flavors. I did not eat it all. I folded the bag up. I put the bag in the empty coconut bag because that one is re-sealable. I will prob finish it next week.
My "meal" was ~half a 15oz bag of store-brand mini pretzels. They were good. I said in my 2/12 post that I didn't have any pretzels. Last week, I said I found the other bag of waffle ones I had. I found this bag this past week when I was looking for something else. Due to my lax in posting my "Sat" "meal" a few times, I don't know if I opened these before I opened the last bag of waffle ones I had used.
That's all for the food this week. I know what I'm having for my Sun meal.
Some time in the future, I will be doing some reviews of something I haven't had in a long time. It hasn't been since I lived with my parents. I don't know when I will start these.
It is 1043pm as I post this. SNL was new(Woody Harrelson/Jack White) so I watched it. I got my reading done earlier, so I didn't need to do it. I didn't type during the commercials either. I was able to watch it with no glitching. Chloe Fineman played a major part in the opening sketch, and the next one. Heidi Gardner was on WU, and the "sligshot" ride sketch. At the end, she was wearing a Patrick Mahomes jersey. Sarah Sherman was only in the very last sketch for a few sec playing an old man. I wanted to talk about Jack White's songs. On the first one, he had some interesting guitar sounds. There was also a synth sound that sounded like a video game. That song came across as a bit too "noisy". The other song was an acoustic one. To me, it sounded a bit like The Beatles. After SNL, I looked at a thread on Nextdoor that disappeared from my feed a few days ago, and a ton of people posted on it. I may have looked a Yahoo! News also. I do know I got some food stuff ready before I started typing. I went to take my nap after 2am. I got up before 330am because the TMZ weekend edition wasn't on. I got my food and sat down to eat and type. I think I got done eating after 430. I forget when I finally dozed off. I think I woke up before 715am. I remember putting the food stuff away. Before 8, I went in to take my nap. I got up for 9 for MTP. I was able to watch it, the second half of This Week, and Washington Week without falling asleep. I read during the commercials, and between TW and WW. I typed during the shows. At 11am, the local show wasn't on due to the PBS pledge drive. I read for a while. I then watched the previous week's episode online, and typed during it. When that was over, I started reading again. When I was done, I was going to do something else, but I think I got sidetracked. I then took a dump. I then checked my email. After that, I looked at Nextdoor. When I was done with that, I looked at YN again while eating my pretzels. I then did something else. Right before 5, I went to take a nap. I got for 7pm for FOX's Animation Domination. I watched the shows and looked at YN during the commercials. At 9, I restarted the computer. I eventually started typinjg again, until my mom called around 941. We got done close to 10, and I've been typing ever since.
I can't think Of much to say here. When I was watching MTP, they had the National Security advisor on. Like other political guests, he couldn't directly answer at least 1 question he was aked. A Republican politician was even worse. He was also asked a question about Ukraine funding. Before he answered, he had to say a bunch of unrelated anti-Democrat shit. Host Chuck Todd was 100000% correct when he said some of these Republicunts are anti-Ukraine just because Biden is for helping them. These same hypocrites, if Trumplethinskin was pres, and providing aid, if any Democrat was against it, they would be shouting "socialist" and "commie", while prob not even knowing what those terms actually mean.
I guess I'll go now. see you next week.

Hello. It is 1227am as I start this. I guess it was an ok week. I can't think of anything major going wrong. My spray bottle is on its last legs, so I will start using one of my backups soon. My shopping trips were rather unsuccessful. My back is hurting right now. I think that is all I have to say.
I did have a couple of food complaints. I discussed the cans of ALDI cocktail peanuts being cheaper than the ones in the plastic jars. They recently jacked up the price so they are the same price as the jarred ones. I bought one can when they were cheaper. Soon after, there was a sale on them where they were even cheaper. I only picked up one can then. I wish I had bought more. I also wanted to complain about croutons. In my Feb12 post, I mentioned the WM croutons getting jacked up to $1.30. I think on the Sat I went to get my car done, I was going to buy more croutons at ALDI. I saw they also jacked up the price. It wasn't $1.30, but it's still over $1. It may be $1.17. So either I can pay the higher price, or not have croutons for a "Fri" snack anymore. I will have to make that decision this coming week.
Now it is time for the food.
Sun: I had 2 of the Simms Snack Sticks.
My meal was a major repeat. I had a bag of Chex Mix. It was the Sour Cream And Onion flavor. It was good. I had a can of Pringles. They were the Scorchin' Wavy Loaded Nachos. They were good. there was decent heat. There was no cheese taste. I had ~half of an 8oz bag of store-brand shredded mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. I had a 6oz can of Chicken of the Sea oysters. They were good. I had a 3oz bag of store-brand peperoni. It was good. I took it out of the fridge when I took out the cheese.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I had 2 of the Simms Snack Sticks.
I had a bag of DT wonton strips. They were good.
I had a Big Mama pickled sausage. It was good. I had a bag of Fieras takis. They were the Chili & Lime flavor. They were good. There was a lot of heat.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen broccoli. I cooked it using the healthy method. I need to start a new paragraph.
There are 2 things I need to mention before I proceed. First, I need to talk about the cabbage. In my Feb20 post, I mentioned the cabbage is starting to decay. Well, it has gotten worse. It has reduced to basically a slimy mass and a bunch of brown water. When I put some with the broccoli and onion in the microwave, I dumped in some of the brown water. When I dumped all the veggies in the pan, it took quite a few min for the water to cook off. I have one more meal of it left. Thankfully St Patrick's Day is coming up, and cabbages will go on sale. I'm assuming that will start on Wed. This time, I will get a much smaller cabbage. The reason this one went bad is because I bought a big one, and I've gone from 2 fried rice a meals a week to 1. The other item I want to mention is that I opened a new spice. It is ground cinamon. I decided to use that because I read it is often used in curry powder.
As for the taste, the issue was that the cinamon was a bit dominant. That means I added too much, even though I didn't think I did so. That being said, at least it didn't ruin the meal. Also, the cabbage didn't cause any bad taste. I had it plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Northern Catch sardines in oil. They were ok. I took the out of the fridge.
Between the cabbage and the Fieras, I was expecting to have to take a dump Wed morning. I didn't. That didn't happen until Thu morning.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I had the last 2 of the Simms Snack Sticks.
My first snack was a can of Vigo Mussels In Marinade Sauce. They were good. I took them off the shelf. I then had a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip guacamole tortilla chips. They were good.
I got my meal at Arby's. They still are doing the 2/$7 promo with the French Dip & Swiss sandwiches, so I got 6. I did the thing where I fiest got 4 at one location, then 2 at another. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. There was a negative though. At both places, they skimped a bit on the beef juice. This meant that I could only dip the sandwiches, no soaking. For a few, I barely had enough.
I forget if I've mentioned this before, but while I love those sandwiches, I'm getting a bit tired of them. When I'm actually eating them I still enjoy them. It's just that I want something different. The promo started right after Xmas. The other times they've done the promo, it's only been for about a month. There are those BK chicken sandwiches I want to try. I'd like to have a Little Caesars pizza. And, there is that really big pizza from Pizza Hut I'd like to see if I can finish.
Fri: My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it at 1230am while watching The Goldbergs.
I got my second snack at the hot case of a grocery store. It was 2 things. One was potatoes cooked with other vegetables like onions and peppers. It was good. I heated it up in the microwave. The other thing was breaded shrimp. It was very good. I also warmed these up in the microwave. I had both items at 137am during the rebroadcast of a station's 10pm news.
I got my third snack at the same place as the previous 2. It was 2 pieces of breaded swai. I warmed them up in the microwave. While they were good, the breading seemed a bit too present this time. I had these at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
I wanted to go back to the shrimp for a min. They were the best I had there. If I had known that, I wouldv'e bought a lot more. Maybe over 1lb, since they are the same price as the swai. They did have egg salad, but I wanted to try the potatoes. I maybe would've bought egg salad, potatoes, and shrimp. If the swai was not there, that's prob what I would've done.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Classic Caesar variety. They were good. I had them around 72opm Sat.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb.
I had a Yoplait yogurt. It was Skittles flavor. It was actually very good. I havent' had Skittles for a long time, so I don't know how accurate it was. It just had a general fruity flavor in that nothing specific stood out. I had some of the store-brand chocolate chips. They were good. I finished the cotton candy. It was good. I finished the gummi worms. They were good.
I opened up a bunch of things, some new. I had a package of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. They were good. I took it off the shelf. I opened a bag of ALDI shredded cocunut. It was good. I took it off the shelf. I opened a new jar of peanuts. They are the Planter's Honey Roasted variety. One grocery chain has a coupon this month for a 16oz jar for $0.99. They were good, but like other brands, I don't really taste the honey. I also opened up a package of Keebler cookies. They weren't that good because they didn't have much taste. I first noticed something was off because the cookies were smaller that before. Apparently, I didn't know Keebler made 2 kinds of "Sandies" cookies. They have regulart Sandies and Pecan Sandies. I thought I had bought the pecan ones, but got the regular ones instead.
For my "meal", I had ~half a 15oz bag of store-brand waffle pretzels. They were decent.
I'll be having my Sun meal in a few hrs. You should prob know what I'm having.
That's it for the food. Next weekend is my birthday. I want to have a special meal on Sun, but I still haven't decided. I'm going to wait until Wed to see what is on sale in the grocery ads.
I am posting this at 151am Mon. SNL was new(Travis Kelcie/Kelsea Ballerini). It was a really good episode, and I'm not just saying that because TK is a KC Chiefs player. I think Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman each appeared in 3 sketches. Heidi looked really good this week. Since she is from KC, I'm surprised they didn't have her flirt with TK during the monololgue. Again, Sarah Sherman wore wigs in several sketches and acrually is attractive. During WU, she appears with her actual hair. Speaking of WU, they used a bad pic of Anne Hathaway. She looked to have a huge mouth and gigantic teeth. After SNL, I did some stuff, including getting my food ready for later. I then sat down to type. At 2am, I got up to take my nap. I got up for 3, even though the TMZ weekend edition wasn't on. I got my food together and sat down to eat and type. I think I got done eating around 4. I then was just typing. I think I eventually slowed down, then fell asleep. I eventually totally woke up after 7am. I did some stuf, including putting the food stuff away. I then went in around 8 totake my nap to get up for 9 for MTP. I got up, and watched MTP. I didn't type during it, nor read during the commercials. I was going to start typing at 10, but I was getting butt pressure. I went and took a huge dump. After, I broke out a new spray bottle top. I then watched WW while typing. At 11, I did my reading. I did stop to take a break to watch Virtual Railfan on YT. I then finished my reading, then Started reading the Smackdown recap on TJRWrestling. I then looked at my email, then looked at Nextdoor. I then did something else, then went and took a nap at 5pm. I got up for 7 for FOX's Animation Domionation. All 4 shows had new episodes, but there was minor glitching during all of them. I did not type during them or the commercials. At 9, I restarted my computer. I looked at my Yahoo! email, then Yahoo! News for a bit. I then called my mom. After I talked with her, I watched the news. I then got up and got stuff ready for later. I then sat down to type again. I eventually listened to Face The Nation online while typing. I then was watching America's Test Kitchen while typing, but dozed off. I woke up at like 1239am. I read the rest of the Smackdown recap, the Elimination Chamber recap until 1am. I then turned on the TMZ weekend edition. I've been typing during it and reading the EC recap during the commercials.
Here is where I say stuff. A few days ago, actor Tom Sizemore died(aka taken off life support) after suffering an aneurysm. I don't recall seeing movies with him, so I'm not really saddened over this. A few hrs ago, it was reported that the last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, guitarist Gary Rossington, died at the age of 71. RIP. LS was a good band, but was cursed. Since it's getting late, I don't want to get into any political stuff, except that the Republicans are again being retarded this week.
I'll be back next week.

Hello, it is 1220am as I start this. "Today" was my birthday. I turned 49. I don't feel that old. I didn't do anything special. It was just like any other Sat. This was another ok week. I can't think of anything really bad happeneing. Well, I have been having some pain in my back, stomach, and right testicle. Thankfully, it's not constant. It comes and goes. I think it is all related in the way when you get some kind of impact to your nuts, it radiates up into your body. On 3/3, I was standing at my desk at work. I was shaking my right leg, which then was smacking my scrotum, cauing a slapping sound. That's what prob caused the pain. This has happened before, and it cleared up after ? days.
I'll be taking my nap earlier because tonight is the Daylight Saving Time change where the clocks go ahead 1hr. I will go to bed at 1am, and it will be around 3am when I get up.
I do have a food-related item to complain about. A while back, ALDI jacked up their price on the Northern Catch sardines to $1.09 a can. I decided I would get the ones from Walmart because they were < $1, even though they don't have a mustard variety. I looked at the shelf recently, and they upped the price to something like $1.07. I was getting low on sardines, so I needed to get more. I was going to get the NC ones, even though they are more expesive. That's because, except for the recent examples, the ALDI ones are better than the WM ones. This week, one of the grocery chains has Chicken of the Sea sardines on sale for $0.89 a can. I bought a bunch on Wed and Fri. I'm planning on getting more on Mon, and 3 more with a raincheck on a future Fri. I will have a total of 16. That should last me somewhere around 4 months.
Now it is time for the food.
Sun: I had 3 things. I had a can of Deutsche Kuche Herring Fillets in Curry Pineapple Sauce. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I had a box of Ritz crackers. They were the Roasted Vegetable variety. they were good. I had ~half an 8oz bag of shredded mozzarella cheese. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I had a bag of Dollar Tree wonton strips. They were good.
I had a Tijuana Mama pickled sausage. It was good. There was some heat.
I had a bag of Brim's Fiery Hot cheetos. They were good. I can't recall if there was any heat.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen broccoli. I cooked it using the healthy method. I feel the nedd to be a bit like last week.
Last week, I talked about the cabbage going bad. I used the rest of it for this meal. There was a lot of brown water in the container. I dumped some in my pan. Before I add the veggies to the pan, it is always hot. I always put water in the pan before I turn it on. I know the pan is hot when the water cooks off. That's what I used the cabbage water for. I dumped the rest of the water, with the cabbge itself, into the casserole dish with the onion, to heat up with the broccoli I had alredy cooked for 2 min. I did get a cabbage on Thu.
As for the meal, I didn't seem that good. I think it tasted a bit overcooked. I'm thinking it could be that I added too much cumin, because it does have a bit of a burnt taste to it. But it could have also been the cabbage.
My meat item was a can of Northern Catch sardines in mustard. They didn't seem that good this time. I took them out of the fridge.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: My snack was a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip guacamole tortilla chips. They were good.
The first item of my meal was from Popeyes. It was a Spicy Flounder Fish Sandwich. I heated it up in the microwave. I forgot that when I had the Classic version 2 weeks prior, the pouch it came in had a foil lining. The good news is that there was no issue in the microwave. The bad news is that id acts as as an insulator, and had the opposite effect. The sandwich didn't get very warm. It was pretty good though. The "spicy" component was a different sauce. I recall it being a bit spicy.
I got the next item from KFC. It was one of the Double Down sandwiches. I think this time around, they used 2 chicken fillets from the regular sandwiches. the last time they offered this, I think the chicken fillets were specific to this sandwich, and much smaller. I heated it up in the microwave. It was good. I think it would have been better to use the oven to heat it up, but I didn't want to use it just for that. @ more things of note. First, it is really big. Second, it is very exspensive. That being so, the size /price ratio doesn't seem that bad.
The main item of my meal was 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches from Arby's because they still have the 2/$7 promo. I warmed them up in the microwave. They were good. There was enough juice that I was able to soak the last 2.
Fri: My first item was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it at 1230am while watching The Goldbergs.
My second item was 3 things from the hot/cold section of a grocery store. I had some potato wedges. I heated them up in the microwave. I had one or two plain, which were good. I dipped the rest in a container of beef gravy I got. I heated it up in the microwave. Those pw were good. When I finished them up, I ate the rest of the gravy by itself. It was good. I also had a small container of egg salad. I took it out of the fridge. It was ok. It seemed a bit dry. At the store, it did look dried out. If it had looked better, I would've gotten a bigger container, and maybe skipped the pw and gravy. I would've probaby also gotten a bigger container to save for my Sun meal. I had this stuff at 137am during a station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My third item was breadded shrimp I got from the same store. I got a bit over 1lb. I heated it up in the microwave. It was good, but not as good as the previos week. I had it at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My last item was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Italian Seasoned variety. They were ok. I had them during SNL. I usually have them earler, but I didn't want to get up and get them because I wanted to get done reading Nextdoor and take a nap.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with the cereal and pb.
I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had some of the Planter's peanuts. They were good. I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had a Yoplait yogurt. It was Kool-Aid Blue Raspberry. It wasn't that good. It had a raspberry taste, but it was very artifical. I had a package of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had some of the Keebler Sandies cookies. They were a lot better than last week. I took them out of the freezer. I think that made a difference.
I also had 2 new items. One was from Sathers. It is called Cherry Slices. They are like cherry-flavored gumdrop candies shaped like orange slices. They were good. I didn't finish all of them, but I will next week. The other item is a Dada Surprise egg. In my Jan8 post, I mentioned getting some bird thingie at Save A Lot. I got this egg thing at the same time as that one. I think Dada/DADA is the brand name. For this one, I first opened the food portion. It was just like the other one: brown chocolate andn white stuff(prob also chocolate), with cookie pellets. It was good. nI then opened up the toy half. It all but identical to the first, but the clear half was a bit animal-shaped, and had painted on facial features.
As I'm typing this after 11pm Sun, I'm having a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They are good even though I took them off the shelf. I think I should classify them as a Sun snack, and not my "Sat" "meal".
That's it for the food. I'm still debating wether or not I will have a "Sat" "meal". That is because my Sun meal is going to be big because it is my birthday meal, even though that was on Sat.
It is 1205am Mon as I post this. I watched SNL(Jenna Ortega/The 1975) because it was new. The 1975 was ok. I had never heard any of their stuff before. For some reason, they had a bunch of stuff as stage decorations. They were a char, a coffee table, a spinet piano, and a home organ. Even though the organ did not appear to be a Hammond, I was hoping it was going to be played. As for the show itself, Heidi Gardner only appeard in the opening sketch. Also, Sarah Sherman only appeared then. And again, she was wearing a wig that made her look attractive. Chloe Fineman was also in the opening sketch, and at least one other. After SNL, I got up to get my food ready for later. I then sat down to type. At 1am, I went to take my nap. I was only in bed for an hr, but I got up for 3 due to the time change. I got my food then sat down. I was typing and eating, but doing more of the eating. i got done eating around 4am. I felt a little bit tired, so I stopped typing, and was reading Quora about getting hit in the balls. I eventually fell asleep. I finally woke up right before 730. I think I then got up a bit later, and put the food stuff away. I then did something else. I then went and took a nap at 8 to get up for 9 for MTP. When I sat down to watch MTP, I was feeling a bit groggy. I eventually fell asleep. I think I finally woke up around 1130am. I did my reading. I then watched WW and MTP online while typing. I was going to start watching FTn online around 130, but I got ass pressure. I went in and took a big dump. I was feeling a bit crappy afterward. I went in my bed to try to fart. I ended up putting my feet on the wall with my knees bent, my ass up in the air, and my torso bent. I was able to fart quite a bit. I then laid back down on my side and farted some more. I then went back in and sat down at the computer. I checked my email, then looked at Nextdoor. I still wasn't feeling to good, so I didn't have anything to eat. Around 430, I felt like I had to shit again, so I went back in. I just did some poo liquid. The way it was acting, I thought there would be a lot more. I then went and took a nap at 5 to get up for 7 for FOX's Animation Domination. I watched all 4 shows. Unfortunately, they all had glitching. At 9, I looked ast some other Nd threads that only show up in my email. I then restarted my computer. I eventually called my mom. I got done talking with her a bit after 10pm. I then watched the news. Around 11pm, I got up and got my food for later. I then sat down to type while "watching" FTN online.
That is all for this week. There were 2 celebrity deaths I want to mention. One was Robert Blake. He was first on Little Rascals. In the 70's he was on a show called Baretta that I've never seen. He was more recently known for going on trial for murdering his wife Bonnie Blakey. He was founnd not guilty. From what I heard, whether or not it was him, she had it coming. She scammed a lot of men out of money. Ther other person who died was Chaim Topol, who went by just his last name. He played the dad Tevy in the Fiddler on the Roof movie. He was also in the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only. He also playe Dr. Zarkhov in the Flash Gordon movie. There was some political stuff I didn't feel like addressing last week. On MTP, OH Rep Mike Turner called OH the "crossroads of America". That is bullshit. If any US city should have that title, it should be KC. There is a major e/w interstate, and a few n/s ones. KC is also the 2nd busisiest railroad city, behind Chicago. Speaking of Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot lost her re-election bid. She blamed it on racism, and other bs. No, it's because she apparently didn't do anything to take care of the crime problem. Also, it it just me or does her bulbous head and bulging eyes make her look like a chihuahua?
Ok, I'm done now. I should be back next week.

Hello, it is 1229am as I start this. This week wasn't so good. The main thing I can recall was I wasn't feeling good. I had big meals on Sun, Tue, and Thu, but had only taken a small dump on Wed. On Fri, I decided to clean out. When I got home from work, I drank a buch of water. I also had spices and condiments. I also drank quite a bit of canola oil. After a bit, I started getting ass pressure. I went in and took a large dump. Due to all the water, I did feel a bit crappy afterward. "Today"(aka Sat 3/18), I went and took a dump at 4pm. That was fine. Before 7, I felt I had more. I went in and did a bunch of liquid poo. I was done and cleaned up. I then was going to sit down and have my 4th "Fri" snack. I turned on the light and the bulb burned out. I had to look for the package of bulbs. I knew where they were, but there is so much shit on the table, it took a while to get to them. There's some other food-related things to mention. I'll mention one in a sec, and the other later. There was a bit of good news, which I'll mention near the end. Also on Sat, KU was elminated from the NCAA Final Four Tournament. I didn't go there, but they are our "local" college team. I might also have had a "mild" case of the burps. I only had a few that tasted bad. I did not have a ton of farts. I did have shitting issues on Sun. The burps tasting funny could have been due to the extra popcorn, and not the condition. The pooing could be due to me fucking up my intestines when I drank all the water on Fri.
The food thing is related to the CotS sardines. Like I said last week, I went on Mon to get some more. The store I went to is right near the "edge of the hood" Cash America. This is a muliracial area. Due to this, I thought they would have the hot sauce sardines. But no; they only had the water, oil, and mustard ones. I bought 3 more mustard. After that, I went to the ALDI nearby. One of the tings I wanted to get was Vienna sausages because I'm out. Like the one I usually go to, they were also out. There were other things I wanted to get, but I just decided to go home.
I'll get to the food now.
Sat: I decided not to have anything.
Sun: The snack component of my meal was a bag of Clancy's Wavy potato chips. They were the Garlic Mashed (potatoes) variety. They were ok. There was a flavor, but I couldn't tell if it was garlic or not. As for the mashed potatoes part, I don't like them, so I don't know how that manifested itself, except that both foods are potatoes. I don't know if I would have these again.
I also had an 8oz bag of store-brand shredded mozzarella. For some reason, it didn't have any flavor. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. I think I mentioned before that if I take cheese right out of the fridge, it doesn't have any flavor.
The main part of my meal was Reuben sandwiches. The one grocery chain was having a sale on them. I got 6. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate them. Since I didn't feel like taking them out of their packages before microwaving them, I did one by itself to see if everything would be fine. It was, and the sandwich was very warm. I put the other 5 in. For some reason, they didn't get ver warm. I ate the first sandwich I heated. It was good. The next 3 didn't seem that good. I put that down to them being barely warm. I then ate about 2/3 of the 5th sandwich. I then got up and put it, and the last sadwich in the microwave again. They did get warm. The only thing I recall was that the bread on the last sandwich was mushy; most likely due to it still being in the package. ALso, by that time, I was getting full. I think I'll end this here.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
I've mentioned before that I have this weird thaing where I like to eat a bit of my spices an condiments. This is not related to me trying to get myself to poop, like I mentioned above. I mention this because I finished the chili sauce. I opened up a new bottle of hot sauce. It is Lola's Fine Hot Sauce. I tried a bit. There is a bit of a fruity flavor. There is also heat. The reason I got this was because it was in a cart marked way down near the entrance of a grocery store.
Tue: I had 3 snacks. First was a bag of Dollar Tree wonton strips. They were good. Later I had a can of Starkist tuna in oil. It was good. I took them out of the fridge. I also had a bag of Fieras takis. They were the Chili & Lime variety. They were good. There was a lot of heat.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen broccoli. I made it using the healthy method. I recall it being good plain and with my 3 items. I used cinnamon, but apparently didn't overdo it this time.
My meat item was a can of Northern Catch sardines in oil. They didn't seem very good this time. I took them out of the fridge.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: This is a bit complicated, and will take a bit
In this week's grocery ad, the chain that had Reubens had a sale on sandwiches. I went to the website, and Reubens were not listed at all. WHen I went to the store, I looked in the areas where the sandwiches are, and there were no Reubens. I then went to the deli counter and asked about them. I can't 100% recall if they said they were part of the sale, but they did say they didn't have any because they ran out of corned beef. If they had them, and they were on sale, I would have bought 4 as a sort of redo from Sun. I would've had 2 as part of my meal, and the other 2 as a Fri snack. And if I had done that, I would've gone out to get another snack.
With the above, that meant I had to get something else. I went to Popeyes and got the Surf & Turf meal. That seemed very small. I then decided to go to Church's, and got the Butterfly Shrimp & Tenders meal. The box was muchbigger. Each meal has 2 chicken tenders, 4 breaded shrimp, a biscuit, and one side. I decided to get fries for both sides so I could do an equal comparison. Each meal also came with a container of cocktail sauce for the shrimp. I didn't use either of those. The Popeyes one also came with a container of Blackened Ranch sauce, which I used. I'll mention it later.
Instead of having a seperate snack before my meal, I decided to have the 2 biscuits. I warmed them up in the microwave. I recall them both being good, but I'm thinking the Chruch's was better. I nthink this is due to the honey butter "glaze" they put on top. The honey doesn't really add sweetness, more just flavor. The Church's biscuit was also bigger.
When I had my meal, I microwaved both the meals seperately. When I ate, I had the Popeyes first, then the Church's. For both, I ate the fries first. The Popeyes fries were better. The Church's fries were like the Arby's crinkle fries. They wer rather soft. There were a lot more fries in the Church's box though. As for the shrimp and chicken, they were all good. I think with the chicken, the Church's were bigger.
As for the sauce, I tried a bit alone. It tasted like ranch with taco seasoning mixed in, and is good. I tried it with all 3 things from both boxes. They were all good.
I think the Church's was cheaper, which, along with having more stuff, give it the win, even though the fries weren't as good.
I got the main part of my meal from Arby's. I had 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches. They are still part of the 2/$7 promo. I heated them up in the microwave. They were good. There was enough juice for me to soak the last 2.
Fri: Since I didn't go shopping after work, I was only planning on having 3 snacks instead of 4. I'll explain that in a bit.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it around 130am. I would usually wait a few more min for the one station to show a repeat of their 10pm news, but they didn't because they have on the NCAA Final Four Tournament.
My second snack was a Michelina's entree. It was the Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken & Broccoli variety. It was good. I had it at 330am. I usually watch the rebroadcast of TMZ at this time, but it wasn't on because they changed the schedule due to the St. Patrick's Day parade being on earlier.
I had originally planned on only having my last snack at the regular time. Around noon, I got in my head that I wanted to make popcorn. I got up and did so. I put the pot on the stove and turned it on. I then added some canola oil, then some kernels. I put the lid on and turned the burner up to 8. When the popcorn seemed done popping, I dumped it into the food box I've used previously. I then repeated that 2 more times. When the new popcorn was cooking, I would add canola oil to the box, shake it, add black pepper, and shake it again. I did the same thing after I added the last popcorn. I sat down a bit before 1230. The popcorn was good. I could taste the pepper, but it wasn't overwhelming.
My fourth/last snack was ALDI croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic variety. They didn't seem that good, but weren't bad. That could've been a mental issue due to what I mentioned at the top. I was going to have them after I took the dump around 7. I wasn't able to because, as I said above, I had to look for a light bulb. I ate them during SNL.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb. I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had a Yoplait yogurt. It was pineapple. It was good. I could taste the pineapple, and there were small chunks too. I had a package of LD Swiss Rolls. I took them out of the freezer. They were good. I finished the chocolate chips. They were good. I finished the Sathers Cherry Slices. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. Putting them in the freezer made them rather hard to chew. I finished the Planter's peanuts. They were good. I finished the cookies. They were good.
I didn't have a "Sat" "meal". This is because my Sun meal is big. Even if it wasn't, I would have probvably slipped it due to my insides acting up.
I'll be starting my meal soon. It will take a while to cook. It is something I have this time of year. If you read this whole thing, there is a clue above, even though I didn't mean it to be.
It is 1210am Mon as I post this. I watched SNL(Michael B. Jordan/Lil Baby) even though it was a repeat because there was glitching the whole time it was on the first time. There was no glitching this time. Again, Sarah Sherman was wearing wigs that make her look attractive. After SNL, I think I read Yahoo! News, or something else, for a bit. Ithen got up to get stuff ready for later. I then sat down to type. I did so until 2, when I went to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the weekend edition of TMZ. I got my food and sat down. I was typing and eating, but mostly eating. I got done eatring before 4. I think I also stopped typing. I think I fell asleep after 430. I finally fully woke up at 730. I then put the food away, did something else, then went to take my 8-9 nap. I got up for Meet The Press. I watched it. I didn't start typing until a bit brfore 930. I didn't do any reading during the commerals. I didn't do that during TW, or between the PBS shows. I did slow down typing when I started getting ass pressure. At 1130am, I went in and did a liquid dump. I waited quite a while before cleaning up, because I was expecting more. I think there was a little. after cleaning up, I sat back down. I think it was between 1230 and 1. I did my reading. I eventually got more ass pressure. I started looking at Nextdoor before 3. I got done a bit after 4. I then went in and took a dump. It was mostly brown water, with what looked limke peanut pieces. It was so messy, I just jumped in the shower. While I was showering, I did a lot more poo water. I got done right before 5pm. I went in to sleep. I got up for FOX's Animation Domnation. I was getting more ass pressure, so I didn't feel like typing. At 9pm, I went in to poo some more. This time, there was some soft stuff, along with the water, and more peanut chunks. after cleaning up, I sat down around 940pm. I restarted my computer. I then called my mom. I was done after 10. I watched the news. I also did the 2 bills I had. Around 11, I started watching Face The Nation online, and resumed typing.
That's all for this week. Trump is saying that he thinks he will soon be arrested. Good. He told the members of his cult that when this happens, they need to protest. There are concerns that because these people are fucking retard, they will start shit like the did on Jan6. If they do start shit in NYC, I hope the NYPD don't fuck around. The other thing I wanted to mention was singer Bobby Caldwell dying. I didn't recognize the title of the song he's famous for. I listened to it on YT. It didn't sound familiar, but that doesn't mean I've never heard it before. It just seemed like generic easy listening jazz.
Ok, I'm done. See you next week.

Hello. It is 1230am as I start this. I feel crappy. It is due to my schedule being fucked up today. My parents had to take their cat to the vet because she is severely constipated. Actually, I had to. She is so fat(20.8lb) that they can't get her in the carrier. I had to set my alarm to make a special trip over there to get the cat in the carrier. I then put it in my dad's car. I then drove over to the vet in my car, and my dad took the cat over there. I took the carrier out of the car and brought it inside. I stayed when the vet saw the cat. After, I left. I did some shopping, then went home. I did some things, including shaving and taking my shower early. I then did my reading. I finally got back on schedule.
Speaking of constipation, I'm a bit plugged. I took a dump Mon morning that blasted out. I took a small dump some day of the week. Today, before I took my shower, I took another small dump. Update: On Sun, I got the case of the burps. that caused me to have an extended dump session, and a second dump. I also did a wet fart, but I don't recall if that was part of the first dump. I think I'm emptied out now. I think I took a 3rd dump actually.
I can't recall other stuff that happened, other than not finding stuff at Dollar Tree, and there are still no Vienna sausages at ALDI. Also, one grocery chain is having a sale on a discount brand of cereal, but doesn't include the plain shredded wheat. I also checked the one store for the sardines I'm going to use the raincheck for, and they still didn't have any.
I can't think of other stuff, so I'll get to the food now.
Sun: My meal was corned beef and cabbage. The cb itself was from a brand called Table Makers. It was 2.16lb. I put it and the liquid in the pot. I then cut open the spice packet and dumped it in. I then dumped in a 32oz box of beef broth from ALDI. I took a few swigs, which was good. I then cut up a small cabbage I bought for this purpose and put in the pot. I then dumped in another box of beef broth, while taking a few swigs. I then turned the burner on. I put half a cup of water in each broth box and shook it up. I dumped each in the pot. When the liquid started boiling, I put the lid on, and turned the burner to simmer. The cooking instructions said to cook 50 min/lb, which came out to 108 min. I got up every 20 min to stir the pot. After either 40 or 60 min, I flipped the cb over. I stirred after 80 min. I stirred again after 8 min, then set the timer for the final 20 min. After that, I took the pot off the burner, and took the lid off. After 30 min, I had my meal.
As for the meal, it was good. The cabbage was very soft, and the meat was very tender. The liquid also tasted good. I was able to finish everything. I felt a bit stuffed. I then went to sleep for a few hrs. When I woke up, I felt better. I was actually able to drink water without my stomach hurting.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I had a bag of Dollar Tree wonton strips. They were good. I had a can of Vigo Jumbo Squid In Sunflower And Olive Oil. It was good. I took it off the shelf. I had a bag of Brim's Fiery Hot cheestos. They were good. I can't recall if I detected any heat.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen store-brand stir fry veggies. According to the bag, it contains broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, water chestnuts, onions, red peppers, celery, and green beans. I cooked it using the healthy method. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in mustard. They were ok. I took them out of the fridge.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I got the main part of my meal at Arby's. I got 4 of the French Dip and Swiss sandwiches, as part of the 2/$7 promo. I warmed them up in the microwave. They were good. As for the juice, I just had enough to dunk the first 2, except I soaked the last bite of each. For the third, I think I dunked it, or dunked the first half and soaked the second half. I think I soaked the last one.
Since I didn't get fries, I got some stuff at the hot section of a grocery store. I warmed them all up in the microwave seperately. I got a small container of General Tso's Chicken. It was ok. I seemed a bit too sweet, and there was too much sauce. I also had a container of some kind of Asian chicken noodle dish with veggies. It was good. I also got 6 flautas. They were good. I actually ate this stuff before the sandwiches.
Fri: My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it at 1230am during an old episode of The Goldbergs.
My second snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Classic Caesar variety. They were good. I had these during the 330am rebroadcast of TMZ. Usually, this is my last snack, but as I said at the top, I had to change my schedule.
My third snack was 2 things from the cold/hot section from a grocery store. One was a piece of breaded swai. It was good. I warmed it up in the microwave. The other was a container of egg salad. It was pretty good. I took it out of the fridge. I had these around 1pm.
My last snack was ~1.5lb of breaded shrimp from the hot case of the store I mentioned right above. It was good. I warmed it up in the microwave. I had most of it plain, but I had a few with a container of Creole Cocktail Sauce from Popeyes. They were decent, but I like the plain shrimp better. The sauce tasted the same as regular sauce, so I don't know what the "Creole" aspect was supposed to be. I had this around 715pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb. I finished the pb It was Skippy SuperChunk "Extra Crunchy". It was good. I had some of the coconut. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I had a package of LD Swiss Rolls. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I also had a Yoplait yogurt. It was cookies 'n cream. It was good, though I'm not sure if it tasted like cnc. I also had some ALDI peanuts. They were good. I had previously opened the can a while back. When I opened the Planter's ones, I forgot the ALDI ones were already open.
I opened 3 new items. One was my last bag of Sathers candy. They are Lemon Drops. They were good, but there is a major negative. They are hard suck-on candies, so they don't really go with the other food. I have to wait to finish them. I only had 2. I opened a new package of cookies. They are Keebler Chips Deluxe Keebler Fudge Dipped Duos. They are chocolate chip cookies with a chocolate(fudge) layer on the back. I took them off the shelf. The third item was a bag of store-brand choclate chips. They call them "Creamy White", but I guess they are white chocolate. They were very good. They do have a bit of a creamy taste. I took them off the shelf.
My "meal" was ~half a 15oz bag of store-brand waffle pretzels. They were good. I had them at 8pm Sun.
That's it for the food. My meal will be something I've had many times. There is no cooking involved.
It is 123am Mon as I post this. SNL was a repeat(Aubrey Plaza/Sam Smith). The last time it was on, I fell asleep after the Avatar sketch. I was planning on starting my typing during SNL. Due to feeling shitty, I just sat and watched SNL. I watched the whole thing. Afterward, I ether still just sat there, or read Yahoo! News. I then got up and got my food ready for later. I then sat down to type. I stopped at 2am to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got my food and sat down. I typed and ate, but did mostly eating. I got done eating around 4. I think I did do some typing. I fell asleep btween 430 and 5. I finally woke up around 725. I got up and put the food stuff away. I was feeling some ass pressure, but I didn't go take a dump because I wanted to do something else. I then went in at 8 for my nap. I got up at 9 for MTP. I sat down and was awake for the whole thing. I didn't do any typing, nor reading during commercials, because I was feeling ass pressure. At 10, I got up and went in to take a dump. The ABC affiliate's transmitter is fucked, so I couldn't watch This Week. When I went in, I did a little poo, followed by a large fart. Afterward, I would get some ass pressure, then go and poo some, both with and without accompaning farts. I cleaned up 1 or 2 times, only to have to go back in. I finally finisjed, cleaned up, and sat back down at the computer close to 12pm. I did my reading. I then checked my email. After that, I think I went in to take a 2nd dump. I sat back down around 342pm. I then looked at Nextdoor. After that, I think I took a third dump. Before 630, I went in and took a nap. I got up for 730, so I could watch The Great North on FOX. When it was over, I started eating my pretzels. I also restarted the computer. At 830, I watched HouseBroken. I think I typed a bit during the commercials. At 9pm, I resumed typing. A round 945, I called my mom. After I was done, I started typing again. Later, I got up to get my food ready for later. I then sat back down to type. I dozed off a few times while typing, and trying to "watch" FTN online.
That's it. I wanted to discuss a few things, but it's getting too fucking late, due to me dozing off. I should be back next week.

Hello, it is 1230am as I start this. My week was ok, except for Fri. I was planning to run into the one store to see if the they had the COTS sardines I had a rain check for. I was sitting at work, when all of a sudden I remembered, I FORGOT TO BRING THE RAIN CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went over there, and sure fucking enough, they had them this time!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grabbed 3, and went to the customer service counter. I told them what happened, and asked if they could hold them until next Fri. They said no. I just left, and went home. I was totally pissed, both at myself, and the store for not having them the other times. I should've went home and got he rc. then went shopping. I kept on thinking about what I was going to do. I was worried that if I waited until next Fri, they'd be gone again. I was planning on going after work on Mon to get them. Today(Sat), I got my Dear Prudence reading done. I was reading the tv listings on Zap2it, when the site fucked up. Since I didn't know how long that would be, instead of sitting around waiting, I was like "fuck it", and got changed, and drove back to the store. I got my sardines, and something else I'll discuss later. I went to 4 different ALDI locations this week, and none of them still had any Vienna sausages. WHen I went on Mon, I forgot to get soy sauce, even though I barely have any left. When I went to the other 3, I was looking for something else, and the Viennas secondarily. I didn't want to deal with the soy sauce. I need to remember to get some on Mon.
There was a bit of a meal issue, which I'll also discuss below.
I also forgot to mention that on Mon, I went to the Arby's website. They totally changed the items for the 2/$7 promo, so the French Dip and Swiss sandwiches are not on sale anymore. Later, I went to the ALDI I always go to on Mon. There is an Arbys next door, and they were not displayed on the drive thru menu. Both me and my parents each got an Arby's coupon sheet in the mail, and there was no 2/$7 coupon there either.
With all that unpleasntness out of the way, lets get to the food.
I do need to make some corrections from last week. For the veggies I used, the bag says "stir fry" with no hyphen. Also, I left out celery as one of the veggies. I will make these corrections to the post.
Sun: This is a meal I've had before. I had a can of Pringles. They were the Sour Cream & Onion variety. They were good. I had a bag of Chex Mix. It was the Bold flavor. It was good. I had half a bag of store-brand shredded mozzarella cheese. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. I had 2 meat items. One was the last can of Chicken of the Sea oysters. They were good. I took them off the shelf. The other was a 3oz package of store-brand peperoni. It was good. I took it out of the fridge when I took out the cheese.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: My first snack was a bag of Clancy's pork rinds from ALDI. They were the Hot & Spicy variety. They were good. Later, I had 2 things. One was a bag of Fieras. They were good. There was heat. The other item was a summer sausage fromn Dollar Tree. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. As I was eating it, it seemed to not taste like summer sausage. I tasted more like keilbasa/Polish sausage.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of sore-brand stir fry veggies. I cooked it using the healthy method. When I cooked the rice, I also added the spices and condiments to the water. I had some of the rice by itself. I cant remember how it tasted. The meal was good plain, and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in oil. they were decent. I took them out of the fridge.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: This is a bit complicated, so hold on.
My original meal plan was to get stuff from the hot cases of 2 grocery stores. I called the first place, and nthey had some good stuff. I was actually more interested in nthe second place. I called there, and they didn't have anything I felt like having. I decided to change my plans.
Instead, I decided to get my meal at Pizza Hut. It was a The Big New Yorker Pizza. When I got it, the box was fucking light. I opened it and saw the pizza was in there. I was worried about not being able to finish it beforehand, but totally not anymore. Due to that, I decided I would have a snack before my meal.
I decided to get some snacks at the first store, because one of the items was bone-in chicken wings that were on sale. When I got there, I saw they had turkey pot roast, even though they didn't tell me when I called. I love it. If I had known they had that, I would've gotten a large container of that, and the other stuff for my whole meal.
So, for the snacks, I did get some of the chicken wings. They were the cut up segements. There were 4 varieties, but I only got 3:
Kettle Cooked
General Tso's
Buffalo
I got 2 segments of each. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were all good. I also got some of the turkey pot roast. I heated it up in the microwave. It was good.
Like I said above, I got a The Big New Yorker pizza from Pizza Hut. When I placed my order, the guy said I could either chose 1 topping, or get "double peperoni". That did not mean 2x the amount of peperoni, but instead, 2 kinds. I got that option. And like I said above, it was VERY light. That's because it's thin crust. It is big in the x-y dimensional plane. Before I ate, I heated it up in the oven at 400F for 15 min. There were 2 issues with this. When I first started eating the pizza, it was basically too hot for me to hold, even though it didn't burn my mouth. But, the pizza coooled off very quickly. As for the taste, it was good. That being so, I won't get it again. When the Little Caesars thin crust pizza goes on sale, it is a better deal.
When I was done eating, I was full, but not stuffed. I'm thinking this could be due to me having the snacks beforehand.
Fri: due to the sardine issue, I did extra snacking.
My first snack was one of the extra snacks. It was a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip guacamole tortilla chips. They were good. I can't remember if I had it during Smackdown, or some time between 10 and 11pm.
My second snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it at 1230am during an old episode of The Goldbergs.
My third snack was a Michelina's entree. It was Stroganoff. It was ok. It seemed the gravy that was left after I ate the noodles was better than the gravy on the noodles itself. I had this at 137am during the one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My fourth snack was something new. When I was out shopping, I went to an ALDI. I picked up a container of croissants because they were on sale. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were ok. I think they would have been better if they were warmer and/or had some cold butter/margerine on them. I had them at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My fifth snack was unscheduled. As I said at the top of this post, I went to store to get my sardines on Sat. Before I checked out, I went to the hot case. I got a large strofoam "cup" with fried okra on the bottom half, and tater tots on top. I ate these when I was shaving around 330pm Sat. I didn't heat them up. both the tots and okra were good.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Italian Seasoned variety. They were good. I had them around 715pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and a new jar of pb.
I had a package of LD Swiss Rolls. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had some of the Keebler cookies I opened last week. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had 2 of the Sathers Lemon Drops. They were good. I had some of the store-brand chips. I can't tell if they are white chocolate, vanilla, or a combo of both. I had a Yoplait yogurt. It was Boston cream pie. It was pretty good. I seem to recall that the Dannon version is better. I finished the ALDI paenuts. They were good. The dust in the bottom of the can was salty as fuck though. I also finished the ALDI coconut. It was good.
I also had a beverage. It was a bottle of store-brand reaspberry lemonade. It was good. I recall the raspberry being more present when I was fitst drinking it. The bottle was 52fl oz. I wasn't planning on drinking it all, but I ended up doing so. As I got to the bottom of the bottle, it seemed more acidic.
My "meal" was a 13oz bag of store-brand bite-size white corn tortilla chips. They were good. I had most of them plain. I had a few with a packet of Taco Bell Diablo sauce. They were good. I also had some with my hot sauce. They were also good.
That's it for the food. I will be having my Sun. I will say this again: you should be able to guess what I'm having.
It is now 1133pm as I post this. SNL was new(Quinta Bruson/Lil Yachty), so I watched it. There was no glitching. It was a good episode. The guy who does Trump, James Austin Johson, does a 100% dead-on Trump voice. Chole Fineman was fine, as always. I also wanted to mention Lil Yachty. I've never heard his stuff. I like the 2 songs he did. He was doing rap over music that sounded like it was black/soft rock/easy listening from the 70's/80's. After it was over, I think I looked at Yahoo! News for a bit. I then got up and got my food ready for later. I then sat down and started typing. I got up at 2 to go take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got my food and sat down. I ate and typed, again, doing more eating. I got done eating before 4. I then watched Washington Week. I wasn't typig because I was actually watching it because Lisa Desjardenes was the host. I think she's cute, but I can see others disagreeing. I think I fell asleep at the end. I think I eventually completely woke up after 730. I was having ass pressure, but didn't want to go take a dump. I put the food stuff away, and di some other stuff. I then took my nap at 8 to get up for MTP at 9. I watched it, but then it started glitching bad. After 930, I decided to take my first dump. I think I sat down around 1030. I then watched WW again. I think I maybe resumed typing. I think I did so during the local show. I then tried to start jmy reading, but I had to take a second dump. When I sat down, I did my reading. It took a long time. I think I got done around 330pm. I then got up and took a THIRD DUMP! There were a lot of peanut pieces in it. I sat down around 4. I checked my email, the looked at Nextdoor. Around 630pm, I went to take a nap. I got up before 830 so I could watch HouseBroken. It was good, and no glitching. I then watched the news and restarted the computer. I then checked my Yahoo! Mail, then looked at YN a bit. I then called my mom. I got done with her after 10pm. I then got stuff ready for my meal later. I then sat down to type.
Here is where I talk about stuff. Last week I wanted to mention the CP/KCS merger finally got gov approval. I guess the locomotives and cars will eventually get repainted with new graphics, but don't know what those will look like yet. I just heard this morning that Ryuichi Sakamoto died. the article made a bigger deal that he was a movie score composer, though I think it's more important that he was a founding member of YMO. I've only heard a bit of their stuff on YT, but I liked it. It sounds like it is the inspiratiuon for moder Japanese and Korean synthpop. On Fri, it was annnounced that former pres Turd....oops, Trump has been indicted. He will be getting booked this week. I'm kind of wordering if other stuff than the Stormi Daniels stuff was discovered. Our retarded US Sen Josh "haulin' ass" Hawley said the indictment was 3rd-world stuff. No, dummy! The 3-w stuff occured sbout 2 yrs and 3 mos ago. There was also another school shooting. The shooter had a pistol and 9mm carbine besides an AR, but politicians are just focusing on the AR again. Like I said before, pistols make a better weapon in these kind of situations.
I think I will end with that. See you next week.

Hello, it is 101 am as I start this. There were a few crappy things. On Wed, I had a bit of a case of the burps. I've mentioned before that I like to watch the start of Entertainment Tonight to see what's going to be on, even though I don't watch the rest of the show. On Thu, I sat down to do so. For some reason, it usually starts at 629. The clock said 630, and they were still playing commercials. They finally started the show at 632, bit it was "in progress". Later that night, I tried to take a nap, but couldn't sleep. I got up and watched it when it came on again at 1237am. On Fri, I had to poo a bit before I left for work. When I was almost there, I realized I forgot my badge. I turned around to get it. Since I was running late already, I decided I would just stay home to work. I had brought my computer home the night before if I felt too stuffed from eating when I got up Fri. Also, now my toilet is acting up. I would flush, and when the water went up in the bowl, it sounds like it's still running. I have to flush a second time to get the water to stop.
I guess I'll get to the food now.
Sun: This was a meal I've had before. I had a can of Deutsche Kuche Herring Fillets in Mango Pepper Sauce. They were good. I took it out of th fridge. I had a box of Ritz crackers. They were the Garlic Butter flavor. They were good. I recall they did have a bit of garlic flavor. I also had ~half an 8oz bag of store-brand shredded mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: My first snack was a can of fried onions from ALDI. They were good. They didn't seem too salty this time. They could've had the same amount of salt as before, but I just didn't notice it. My second snack was a bag of DK Potato Sticks. They were the Hash Brown Style variety. They were good. My last snack was a can of Polar salmon fillet. It was just one big one in the whole can. It was good. I took it off the shelf. For liquid, the can says something like 'in it's own juices and brine'.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of store-brand stir fry veggies. The meal was an experiment. The first thing was that I only cooked 1/3 cup of uncooked rice. After adding the spices...., I let the water cook down more than usual. I then put the veggie mix in the pot with the rice and mixed it up. I then took the pan and put in flour and canola and mixed it together to make a roux. I then added more spices and condiments to the pan. I then added some water from the faucet. I stirred it all together for a few min. I then added the rice/veggies, and mixed it together.
The other thing was that I used a box of croissants that I got at ALDI, the same kind I had Fri. I warmed them up in the microwave. I riped the croissants up and put the mix on them. I had the mix plain and with my 3 items. It was good, both on the croissants, and plain.
My meat item was a can of CotS sardines in mustard. They were ok. I took them out of the fridge.
I almost forgot to mention that during the regular round of spices...., I accidentally added way too much garlic. I forgot that the cap of the garic bottle was a flip top. I unscrewed the top, thinking there was a hole insert on the top of the bottle. I didn't look before I used it, and dumped quite a bit in the pan. Fortunately, it didn't negatively affect the taste of the veggie/rice mix.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I didn't have a snack.
For my meal, I called the same 2 stores I did the week before. Again, the first had stuff, and the second didn't. I got stuff at the first place. I decided that I could have a bit more. I stopped at a store where there was something on sale I wanted to buy. Their deli/hot case was closed. Ithen went to another store. Their hot case was still open. I got 2 things. They had the same thing on sale, so I could've got it there and saved a stop.
I heated everyrthing up in the microwave.
The 2 things I got from the "second" store were potato wegges and some beef gravy to dip them in. I can't recall if I tried any of the pw plain. They were good in the gravy. When I finished the pw, there was still gravy left, so I ate it. It was good.
At the first store, I got some lasagna. It was good. I got 2 small stuffed green peppers. They were good. I had some chicken and dumplings. It was ok. I had some goulash. It was good.
For some reason, the grocery chain had bone-in wings on sale again. There was only 1 Gen Tso's and 2 plain, so I got those. There were the Buffalo variety, so I got quite a few of those. That store also included boneless wings in the deal, so I got some of the Buffalo ones. They were all good.
Fri: My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I decided to put some canola oil on it. It was good. I don't think I tasted the oil. I had this at 1237am during one station's rebroacast of the 10pm news.
I got my second and third snacks at the hot case of a gocery store. I called the one at the edge of the hood, and they had good stuff. I called another from the same chain that I've been to a few times. They had swai, but nothing else I wanted.
My second snack was 2 things. One was a piece of breaded swai from the hot case. the other was seafood salad that I actually got at the fish counter. I heated up the swai in the microwave. I took the ss out of the fridge. both were good. I had these at 15sam during the rebroadcast of a station's 10pm news. Usually, it comes on at 137, but it was pushed back because it is the CBS affiliate, and there was The Masters recap earlier.
My third snack was breaded catfish. I warmed it up in the microwave. It didn't seem to have any flavor. I had most of it plain, but I tried it with something else. That was a small container of Sauer's Cocktail Sauce. The pieces i had it on basically tasted like the cs. I had this at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My fourth snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic variety. They were good. I had them around 710pm Sat.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb.
I had a Yoplait yogurt. It was key lime pie. It was good. I had some of the store-brand chips. They were good. I had 2 of the Sathers Lemon Drops candies. They were good. I had the last of the LD Swiss Rolls. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I finished the Keebler cookies. They were good. I took them out of the freezer.
I opened up a new bottle/jar of peanuts. They were from Planters. I think they were the Lightly Salted variety. They were good. My dad got these with the coupon from the grocery chain's monthly sheet, which is what I used to get mine. He was going to have them for himself, but decided to give them to me instead.
I also opened up a totally new item. It was a can of coconut cream from the h/n/o store. A few weeks ago, they were blowing them out for 2/$1(I got 2). When I opened it up, it was solid. As for the taste, it was ok. It is unsweetened. It didn't have a strong coconut flavor.
I only ate a little bit, which I was planning on, since I wanted to use it for other stuff. I put the cc in an old sour cream container to put in the fridge. When I was scooping it out, a bunch of liquid came out. Apparently, the liquid and solid components seperated. I tried a bit of the liquid, and it was the same as the solid in not having much coconut taste. After I got everything out of the can, I stirred it up in order to mix the solid and liquid, even though it didn't seem to fully blend. I'm betting if i had some kind of tiny electric mixer, I could mix it to where it could be like the consistency of whipped cream.
That's it fo the food. I think I'm going to have a "Sat" "meal", but still not 100% sure. That is because my Sun meal is going to be a bit big. If I do have something for "Sat", I do know what I'll have. For my Sun meal, I'll be cooking something new. It might be something that I hadn't had for around 40 yrs, but a different variety.
It is 312pm as I post this. SNL was new(Molly Shannon/Jonas Brothers), so I watched it. It was pretty good. I think Chloe Fineman was in 2 sketches. Heidi Gardner was in one of those, in 2 seperate one2, and in Weekend Update. Sarah Sherman was in sketch with both, and in one of the ones with HG. When I make these counts, I don't factor in the pre-recorded segments. There were 3 this time. As fot the JB, their first song had an 80's feel to it. The second song was one of those modern unique ones. In one of the pre-recoded segments, MS brought back her Jeannie Darcy("don't get me started") stand-up commedian character. She brought back her Sally O’Malley("I'm 50") character in the last sketch. I was surprised that she didn't bring back her most famous character, Mary Katherine Gallagher. I could understand why though, because part of the character was her falling on stuff at t he end of each respective sketch. She might not want to fall down anymore. The other thing was in the valet sketch, there appeared to be a spelling/grammar error on the sign. After SNL, I tried to finish reading the tv listings, which I've been finishing earlier in the day earlier in recent weeks. I then got burned out on that. I got up and did stuff in the kitchen, including getting food ready for later. I then sat down to type. At 2, I went to take my nap to get up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got up, got my food, and sat down. I did more eating than typing. I think I got done with the food before 4. I then concentrated on typing. I may have dozed off for a few min before 430, but I may be confusing that with not paying attention to the tv. I eventually fell asleep, and then fully woke up a few min before 730am. I did some stuff, including putting the food stuff away, before taking my 8-9 nap. I then got up for MTP. I was awake for it, but there was glitching. I didn't read during the commercials, nor type during them or the show. I just sat and watched it. I then got ready to resume typing. Then, something happened. I farted, then felt something else come out. I got up right away. I took off my pants and underwear. Thankfully, they were still dry. I could feel my crack was wet. I went into the bathroomn and shot out a bit of very soft poo. I forget when I eventually sat back down, but it was after 10. I then continued typing during TW, WW, and the local show, which had a special 1 hr edition. At noon, I did my daily reading of the tv listings. I took breaks heare and there to watch Pawn Stars. I got done reading around 250pm. I'm finishing as I watch MTP online.
Now it's time to discuss other stuff. The first thing I wanted to bring up was the anti-LGBT/"culture war" stuff. The GOP are obsessing over this stuff instead of doing anything for regular people. Is it me, or did someone else use scapegoating a certain group of people instead of adressing real issues? Last week Marjorie Taylor Green was on 60 Minutes. She called Democrats pedophiles. No, dummy, just because they don't want to bang you doesn't mean they are pedophiles. There was also the incident in the TN state legislature. Sure, the ouster of the 2 members was not racially motivated.(insert rolling eye emoji or meme here) Last week was also Wrestlemania. I'm bringing that up because there was controversy when the showed footage of Auschwitz. My guess is that some dumb gen z/millenial/whatever they're now called intern was thinking Alcatrazz, but didn't know the difference.
I guess I'll be back next week.

On the Thu between Xmas and NY, I visited the KS pawn shops, and the MO ones that are way south.
At the first place was an autoharp and an accordion. For guitars, there was a travel acoustic. There was a Fender Tele. There was a Peavey tele. There was a G&L tele thinline whith a sh pu config. I noted a lefty Epiphone guitar, but forgot the model. There was an LTD strat. There was a Schecter lp with 3 knobs. I noted a Randy Rhoads v. Jackson makes the official version, but I didn't note that, so I'm not sure if it was a Jackson. I also noted some Ibanez GiO guitar with 22 frets and a whammy bar. I didn't note what kind of guitar. For kb, there was a KORG Triton. There was a Casio Privia dp, and a Yamaha one. There was some other Casio kb. For amps, the Line 6 AxSsys212, Peavey Session 400, and Kasino Club amps were still there. There was a Hartke bass combo. I noted it as a HD50. Last year, I noted a HD500. It's possible it could be the same amp, but I noted it wrong one time. There was a large Roland KC series kb amp. It could also be the same one from last year. There was a BOSS Katana amp, but I didn't note if it was a head or combo. There was also a Peavey KB100 kb amp for $199.
My next stop was the Alpha Pawn in Olathe. The only musical stuff I noted was a Squier mustang bass, and a Behringer bass combo. For guns, there were 3 SKS rifles. There was a Century Arms version of an mp5 for $1349. I noted some HK gun that might have been a .45. Doing a Google search shows a UMP 40. My notes also say "tec9". I don't know if I was describing the HK, or I was referring to a separate gun.
I then went to the Trading Post nearby. For guns, there was a coach gun. My notes say I thought the price was over $1000. For kb, the Roland XP-80 and TS-12 were still there. There was also a KORG M3. For the guitars behind the counter, there were 2 Kramers with only 1 hb. There was some kind of Kay (semi-)hollowbody. There was a Dean v. There was an Epiphone lp with 3 hb. There was a Schecter double-cut. There was also a Warmoth dc. Warmoth is a parts company. but they make almost everything, so you can basically have a Warmoth guitar. For some reason, they wanted a lot of $ for it. There were 2 Fender Stratocasters. One had a hsh pu config, where the humbuckers were single-coil sized. The other was hss, whith the same kind of humbucker. On the main wall, there was a ton of guitars. I noted 3 Yamaha superstats. One had a hss pu config, another hh, and the other just a bridge humbucker. There were 2 Deans, an ML(what Dimebag Darrell used) and a Michael Schenker V. For amps, the LAB, Peavey Austin 400, Roland JC120, Kustom, and Yamaha G-50 112 III were still there. I also noted a BOSS Katana combo, and one from Blackstar. I also noted a red knob Fender combo. My notes indicate it may have been the model with 185 as part of the name, but they also had one with 85. I then went back over to where the $$$$ guitars are because the effects are in the counter in front of it. The Digitech DSP128 and Rocktron Banshee talkbox were still there. There was a green TC Electronic pedal. They've made a chorus, delay and overdrive in green, so I don't know which one it was. There was a Morley wah. My notes say there was a Digitech 200B, but I think I meant BP200. There was a ZOOM G FOUR series multieffects pedal. There was also an Ibanez PUE5 mutieffects pedal.
The next stop was Guitar Center. I first walked past the new guitars. I noted a Danelctro 12-string electric. I played it unplugged. It sounded good. I think it was over $500. I then went into the used gear room. There were a bunch of guitars, but the only one I noted was an Epiphone v with the "winged E" logo. For amps, there was an old Gibson amp. There was a Yamha amp, but I'm not sure if it's one I noted before. There was a Roland Cube amp from the 80's. There were 2 Peavey Bandit amps. One was a 65, and the other was a 112 from the Transtube era. I then went over to the $$$$ room. There was a teenager jamming in there with his mom watching. There were Marshall amps, and I think a few from PRS. For guitars, I noted 2 EVH Frankenstein guitars. There was also a custom 8-string guitar made in Poland. I then went over to the effects area, but didn't note anything. I then went over to the synth area. I first went over to the small synth corner. There were 2 KORG Waves and a KORG Six. I forget if they were plugged in, but they were not connected to speakers. I then went to the main room. There was a Kawai K4. I don't think it was plugged in. There was a Nord synth from the Stage series. There was also a Hammond B3 emulator. Like the KORGs, I don't recall their power status, but know they weren't hooked up to speakers.
I then went to the pawn shop in Grandview. I got to the door. The lights were off, and the door was locked. That was a disappointment, but they don't have much. I only visit once a year. It is too fucking far to make a special trip to go back another time.
I then went over to the Cash America in the area. For kb, there was a Williams digital piano and some model of Casio. For effects, there was a VOX ToneLab, and a ZOOM 707 II. For amps, the only one of note was a Peavey Deuce II. For guitars, there was one of those Urban lp/tele abominations. There was also a Randy Jackson guitar that seemed a bit like a strat. There were 3 traditional strats: a Hamer Slammer, a Behringer, and one I ether couldn't identify or remember. There was a Samick Greg Bennett lp special. There was also a Gretsch similar to an lp special with 2 knobs. There was also a Dean Vendetta.
I then went north and visited the place called Smart Pawn. For kb, there was a Yamaha digital piano. There was a Kawai preset kb. There was also another kb that said "Synth Jam" that I tried looking up on Google. It's prob one of those cheap pos Chinese things sold online. For guitars, there was an Epiphone sg and lp special. There was a Squier strat with an hss pu config, and a lefty one. There was a tele from a brand called NY Pro. There was n LTD which I think was an F-10. For amps, there was a Peavey Studio Pro 112. There was also a Peavey Headliner bass head for rack mounting.
The next stop was the nearby Cash America. There was a violin, flute, and glockenspiel. There was some model of Casio kb. There was an Epi lp special II with a natural(stained) wine finish. There was also a PRS guitar from their cheaper SE series. I don't know what my notes are trying to say about the model name, in that it's either some model with "II" in the name, or their version of an lp special II. I did note it had 2 knobs and 2 P-90 pickups.
Since I was making such good time, I decided to make an extra final stop to the Raytown Cash America. There were 4 flutes. There was an Orange amp. There was a Brownsville strat with a hss pu config. There was a Squier strat that maybe was also hss. There was a Kove ½ size guitar. I didn't notate the type of guitar, but I'm guessing it was a strat. For guns, there were some 12ga bullpup style shotguns.

Hello, I'm back. It is 1243am as I start this. I think this week was ok. I can't think of realy anything majorly shitty happeneing. On Thu, I was going to Indeoendence to get my meal and go shopping. I left work a bit early. That was negated by some fuckheads getting into a wreck and backing traffic up.
There was somebullshit tonight I will mention later.
I will get to the food now.
Sat: My "meal" was a bag of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers. They were the Flavor Blasted Xtra Cheesy Pizza variety. they were good.
Sun: The main component of my meal was an experiment. It was a 16oz roll of Bob Evans pork sausage. It was the Zesty Hot variety. It was ok. I'm not a fan of pork sausage, but I thought the flavor would make it better. It was not. It was neither "zesty" nor "hot". It just tasted like regular pork sausage. The grease(and canola oil I used to cook the sausage in) had a bit of heat. There was another issue. I cooked the sausage for quite a while, and it was brown on the outside. Even so, the pices where I looked were still pink on the inside.
One side item was ~half a 2lb bag of store-brand tator tots. They were good. The instructions said to cook them for 15 min, then flip the, then cook for another 10-15 min. It would take fucking forever to flip all of them. After the 15 min expired, I opened the oven, and turned the cookie sheet 180 deg. When I did that, I felt a few of the tt, and they were a bit crisp. I decided to put them in for only another 5 min. They were rather crisp. I could've taken them out after the 1st 15 min. I like my tt soft. It could be that when I "halved" the bag, these were not in the original bag.
I also had cheese from ALDI. I had all 3 of the 8oz "half wheels" of Emporium Selection Semi-Soft Cheese. The order I had them in was: Peperoni Marinara Roasted Garlic With Tomato Basil Garden Vegetable With Sweet Basil The order of how good they were was 2, 1, 3. I think maybe the last one didn't taste as good as previous times was because that was WAY too much cheese to eat at one time. I took them out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: My first snack was a bag of Clancy's plain pork rinds from ALDI. They were good. Later I had a Big Mama pickled sausage. It was good. My last snack was a bag of Brim's Fiery Hot cheetos. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of store-brand stir fry veggies. I cooked my meal using the healthy method. When I added the spices...., I also added some of the coconut cream. I tried a bit by itslef. It was good. It had more of a coconut flavor this time. My meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in oil. They were ok. I took the can out of the fridge. I think one of the reasons the sardines aren't as good as the ALDI ones is because they are very soft and limp.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I was orignally going to get most of my meal at KFC using coupons I have. Then, the one grocery chain was doing a one day bogo sale on their Chinese meals. I decided to make those the main part of my meal. I also got 1 each of the 2 soups.
Since I was hungry, and pissed over the traffic, I felt I could eat more. I went to another nearby store and got some stuff rom the hot case.
I heated everything up in the microwave before I ate. I didn't finsh everything, and put that stuff in the fridge. I mention the stuff when I describe it.
For the meals, they came with either an eggroll or crab rangoon. I got a cr for both. I did not finish these. The first meal was cashew chicken. I had it with fried rice. It was good. The second was sweet & sour chicken. I had it with noodles. I didn't get any sauce. It was ok. I had an issue with the noodles. Usually, they're a bit greasy, which is a good thing. This time, they were sticky. I didn't finish the second meal.
The soups were egg drop and sweet & sour. They were both good. Each came with a little bag of wonton strips to put in the soup. I ate 3 of them plain, which were good. I put the rest in each soup. That was good.
For the stuff from the other store, one of the things I got was potato wedges. I had a couple plain, which were good. I got a container of gravy to dip them in. The pw with gravy was good. It was beef gravy. I tried some when I first stated eating, and I could've sworn it tated like chicken or turkey gravy. When the pw were gone, I still had a lot of gravy left because I got a bigger container than I usually get. I started eating the gravy by itself. I stopped because it was too salty. Another thing about the s&sc was that they seemed to give me a ton of noodles. I took some of the noodles and mixed them with the gravy. It was good.
For the other 3 items, I got what they had left.
I got some crab rangoon. There were like 3 or 4. They were ok. The ones from the other grocery chain are way better.
I got 3 eggrolls. My review is the same as the cr.
I got 3 crispitos. They were good. Due to them being in the container with the 2 above items, and me heating them up in the microwave instead of the oven, they were soft and not crispy. That didn't change my opinion of them. I ate 2 of them, and around haf of the last one.
I was stuffed, and felt so most of Fri.
Fri: My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it at 1230am.
My second snack was the leftovers from Thu. I took them out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. I heated the stuff up in the microwave. For the s&sc, I added some canola oil before I heated it up, due to the sticky noodles. It was good. The crispito segment was good. The 2 cr were good. I had these at 137am during the rebroadcast of one station's 10pm news.
My third snack was Hot Pockets. There are 2 in a box. They were the Italian Style Meatball & Mozzarella with Garlic Buttery Crust. I cooked them in the microwave. They were ok. The main issue with them is that they go from boiling hot to room temp rather quickly. I had to eat them taking tiny bites. Even so, I was burning my mouth. I had these at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
I decided to have a fourth snack. It was popcorn I popped myself. I did it how I always do by putting the4 kernels in the pot with canola oil, and having the burner at 8. I made it in 3 batches. When the first batch was done, I dumped it in the batch I use. I added canola oil and shook the box. I then added black pepper and shook the box. For the second batch, after I added it to the box, I added soy sauce and shook the box to try to mix it in. I did the same for the last batch. I saw the pepper getting mixed more, so I added more pepper. As for the taste, it was good. I didn't taste the soy sauce. I looked to be only on the pieces where it actually dripped on. I think if I want to rey soy sauce again, I'm going to use canola first, so the ss doesn't soak into the individual pieces. I had this about 130pm.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Classic Caesar. They were good. I had them around 710pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb.
I had some of the Planters peanuts. They were good. I had some of the store-brand white chips. They were good. I had 2 of the Sathers Lemon Drops. They were good. I had a Yoplait yogurt. It was the strawberry cheesecake variety. It was good. It tasted like strawberry, but I don't recall it actually tasting like cheesecake. That is the last of the yogurts I have.
I opened up 3 things. One is a package of coconut. I took it off the shelf. It was good. I got it last week when 2 grocery chains had it on sale. I was surprised it's the same brand as the one sold at ALDI. Also surprising is the sale price at these stores was cheaper than ALDI's regular price. These chains also have higher prices on stuff.
I opened up a new box of Little Debbie desserts. It was Nutty Buddy bars. I had a package, which has 2 bars. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
I opened up a new package of cookies. It was Oreo Double Stuf. They were good. I took them off the shelf. I didn't notice the extra filling.
I also had a beverage. It was Sparkling Frost from ALDI. It was the Pink Grapefruit. It was good. It did taste like grapefruit.
I also had a "meal" It was ~half a 15oz bag of store-brand pretzel rings. They were good. I had them around 930pm on Sun. Since I had them so late, maybe they should count as a Sun snack. I'll explain in a bit why I had them so late.
That's it for the food. I'll be having my meal in a few hrs. It's something I've had before. It's basically heating something up, but takes quite a while.
It's 1135pm as I post this. SNL was new(Ana De Armas/Karol G) so I watched it. Even though there was no glitching. there was something that ruined things. When the openin sketch was almost done, there was the Emergency Broiadcast System alert sound. There was a fucking Amber alert. If they had just waited a bit more, it would've just run through the opening credits. Later, during the American Girl preresorded segment, it happened again. It ran into the next sketch, that took place in a recording studio. It didn't happen anymore, thankfully. Since I was in a bad mood, I don't recall much of the episode. Sarah Shreman was in a Wekkend Update segment, and again looked a lot better in a wig. As for Karol G, this was the first I ever heard of her. I did not like the first song. It was acapella, and they started out doing the melody for Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry, Be Happy. Also, she sang in Spanish, which also lost my interest. Her second song was much better, as it was more normal. She sang in Spanish again, but it was good. There was a metal guitar solo at the end. After SNL, I finished my reading. I then got up and got my stuff ready for later. I then started typing. I stopped at 2 to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I mostly ate, but did a bit of typing. I think I got done eating around 4. I then resumed typing. I think I fell asleep between 430 and 5. I woke up around 730. I put the food stuff away. I did something else. I think close to 8, I was getting some ass pressure. At 8, I went in to take my nap. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I watched it, but there was a lot of glitching. I didn't do any reading or typing. I forget when I started typing, but I didn't do much, since the pressure was increasing. After the local show ended at 1130am, I went in and took my first dump. After I got done and cleaned up, I sat down and ddi my reading. A while after I started, I started getting ass pressure again. After I got my reading done, I checked my email. Around 3, I went and took a second dump. I basically peed out my ass. After I was done, I sat down and looked at Nextdoor. I got done around 4. I then went and took a third dump. It was liquid with shredded coconut and peanut pieces. I did it in the shower, so as not to mess up the toilet. I then looked on the internet for a bit. At 5pm, I went in to take a nap. Before I fell asleep, I did the thing where I put my feet and the wall and make my self upside-down. I was able to do some big farts. I then slept. I woke up before my alarm went off. I put my feet on the wall again, but couldn't fart. I then laid on my side and tried too. Insted, I got a bit of liquid in my crack. I wiped, and cleaned myself off a bit. I then watched FOX's Animation Domination. I was getting ass presuure again. After everything was over. I took a fourth dump. I went out my front door and did it on the grass because I was pissed off. I then clened up and sat down at the computer. I then finally felt like having my pretzels. I called my mom around 948pm. I forget when I got done with her. I then watched the news. I forget if I resumed typing. At 1035, I started listening to Face The Nation online, and do know I was typing.
Now for the final paragraph. I wanted to note the death of Al Jaffee at 102. If you don't know who he is, he was an artist at MAD Magazine. He is most famous for doing the fold-in inside back covers. There is also the thing with the abortion pill. That is yet another GOP pile of bullshit. Are they trying to sink themsleves, and take religion down with them? There was some other right-wing retardation I prob wanted to discuss, but I can't remember.
I guess I'll end it here this time.

Hello. It is 1146pm as I start this. My week has been shitty. I don't recall everything, but I do remember a few things. An exit I use when I go to work closed. This caused traffic to back up even worse than it already does, and I have to use a differt route. As I said before, the gocery store sales start on Wed, and run until the next Tue. One of the chains has a sale on a budget brand of cereal. For some fucking reason, the plain shredded wheat are not part of the fucking sale. I called 2 of the stores, and that's what they said. I called a 3rd store, and the guy said they were part of the sale. I went there on Wed. There was no tag. I went to customer service, and I told the guy what was going on. The guy scanned them, and they were full price. The guy there was the one i talked to on the phone. He went back to the cereal aisle to look. He came back with a different box. It was a box of regular frosted shredded wheat. He said that's what he thought I was asking about, and didn't know the ones I wanted existed. On Fri, I went to the store I regularly go to. They were also full price there. I also had some shitty calls at work. On Wed, I had a case of the burps. Even though I took a dump before work, I had to take 2 extra ones after I got home.
There was also a meal-related thing, but I'll mention that later.
I also have to mention another food thing. I was looking at older posts, and the 2 times I had 4 sandwiches from Subway, I didn't really mention the 4th, if at all. I will go back and fix that. UPDATE: I just looked at those posts more closely.
Let me get to the food now.
Sun: My meal was simple. I took 3 cans of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, and put in the pot, with the can of water per can. I took a long time for all of this to come to a boil. When it did, I dumped in a 12oz baf of store-brand kluski noodles. I stirred them up for a few min, so they would mix in, and get soft. I then took the pot off the burner and put the lid on. After 30 min, I brought the pot in to eat. It was good.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I had 3 snacks. First was a bag of Duetsche Kuche Potato Sticks. they are the Herbs of the Alps Style. They were good. My second snack was a can Vigo Jumbo Squid In Sunflower And Olive Oil. It was good. I took it off the shelf. Then I had a bag of Walmart funyuns. They were good. They are different from other brands because they are much softer.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of store-brand California blend. I cooked it using the healthy method, but I did something different. After the liquid cooked down, I dumped the veggies in the pot with the rice and mixed them up. I turned the burner down to 2. I put some flout in the pan, along with some canola oil, to make a roux. I then added the spices. I then added a few drops of hot sauce and soy sauce. I then added some of the coconut cream. I previously added some with the spices.... I then added some water. I turned the burner up to 3, and stirred the mix. After a few min, I added the rice and veggies, and stirreed everything together. My meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in mustard. They were ok. I took them out of the fridge.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I got my snack items at Arby's. Well, actually, two different ones. I'll explain that in a bit. I heated them up in the microwave. I had a King’s Hawaiian Sweet Heat Beef ‘N Brisket Sandwich. It was good. I wouldn't get it again because it was $$$$. It was very small, which made the price even more of a ripoff. It came in a wrapper with a foil exterior, so I had to take it out and put on an old McD's wrapper to heat it up. The other item was a reuben. It was good.
Here's the story. I wanted to try the brisket sandwich. When I got it, I saw it was tiny. I had brough some Arby's coupons with me, including one for a reuben. I did not want to go back in to get it. I went to another one to get the reuben.
I got my meal at Subway. I got 3 Footlongs. I had them on flatbread. The order I had them was: The Boss The Philly The Great Garlic The Great Garlic is supposed to use rotisserie chicken, but they didn't have any ready. They used the regular chicken instead. Everything else was the standard order, except I had parmesan on The Great Garlic and The Philly. It already comes on The Boss. To heat them up, I put them in the oven for 5 min at 400F. The Boss was good. The other 2 were ok. I want to do a do-over with The Great Garlic on flatbread where I can use the rotisserie chicken.
I do have to mention something else. Last week, I was planning on using KFC coupons for my meal, but the one grocery chain did the bogo deal on Chinese meals. The coupons expired on Sun. Neither me nor my parents got new ones M-W. If we had, I'd have gone to KFC instead.
Fri: My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it at 1230am.
My second snack was 2 things from a grocery store. One was fried potatoes with peppers and onions. It was good. I heated it up in the microwave before I ate. The other was tortellini salad. It was very good. I took it out of the fridge. It was so good that I wish I got the next bigger container, and skipped the potatoes. They had egg salad, but it looked dried out, so I didn't get any. I would've had it instead of the other 2 items. I had them at 137am during the one station's rebroadcast of the 19pm news.
My third snack was 2 pieces of breaded swai from the same grocery store. I heated them up in the microwave. They were good. I had them at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My fourth snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Italian Seasoned variety. They were good. I had them around 715pm
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I had the cereal and pb with the other stuff. I finished both. The cereal was Frute Brute. It is part of the "monster series" from General Mills that includes Count Chocula and Franken Berry. It was good. It is supposed to be a cherry flavor, but I think it tasted similar to Franken Berry. The pb was a jar of store-brand honey. It was good. I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had some of the white chips. They were good. I had 2 of the Lemon Drops. They were good. I had a package(2/) of LD Nutty Buddy bars. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I had some of the Oreo DS. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I finished the Planters peanuts. They were good.
That's all for the food. I guess I'll do my "Sat" "meal", but I'm debating to have what I planned, a new item, or something I usaaly have during the week.
My Sun meal will be one I have had before, but one of the items will be a different variety, and I'm replacing another item to do a do-over for part of a previous meal.
This coming week, I'll be having my 6 mo dr appointment. I'll also be doing something else(dun dun dun). Since I'm taking days off work, I'll be having special meals. Come back next weekto hear about those.
It is 1121am as I post this. SNL (Travis Kelce,/Kelsea Ballerini) was a repeat that I didn't have to watch again. I finished up my reading, then read something on Yahoo! News. I did watch Weekend Update though. I enventually got up to get food items ready for later. I then sat down to start typing. I stopped at 2am to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got my food, then sat down. Again, I did more eating than typing. I got done after 4. I then was just typing. I fell asleep some time after 5. I woke up between 730 and 8, but I'm recalling closer to 750. I put the food stuff away, then went to take my nap at 8 to get up for 9 for Meet The Press. I didn't do anything else during most of it. I then went to my computer to start typing. I did some reading between the end of MTP and This Week comming back from a commercial break. I wanted to read during another break, but there is someone mowing their fucking lawn outside. Now, WW is on. Lisa Desjardins is hosting. I think she is cute. Now, I have the local show on.
Here's where I talk about various current items. I'll first talk about 2 commercials before I forget. First is the one for the weight loss drug Wegovy. It's good it's working for that lady, but she still has a looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnng way to go. Your lower legs should not have a larger circumference/diameter than your head. The other commercial is for some kind of mail order company. It's the one with the girl with the mustache getting a Freddie Mercury coat. I hope this doesn't make chicks think a 'stache is not nasty. If you are a lesbian, or one of those "theys", go right ahead. Then, it's just another red flag if you're fat and/or ugly, and those are somehow not an impediment. Fri night, the Supreme Court kind of struck down the retarded restrictions on the abortion pill. That is good. I'll just repeat that abortion should be up to the pregnant woman and her doctor. If you've been watching the news, there was the story about the black teen who was shot by the old guy through his front door. Just because the guy is white, people automatically jumped to conclusions of it being racial. He is a small 85 yr old, so I can see him being overly concerned for his safety. I'm a 49 yr old, and have the "don't want to meet in a dark alley" look, and I'm more alert when there are teenagers around, no matter what color they are. His granson says he started getting into conspiracy theory bullshit. I think he was also into racist stuff, so maybe the accusations are true. When he does go to trial, he will be found guilty. What sinks him is that after he shot the kid in the head, and the kid was on the ground, he shot him a second time. If he had just "one and done", he may have gotten off due to resonable doubt. I can't think of any other stuff right now, so I will end here.
