I am a compulsive writer - mostly stuff of inconsequential nature. Follow at own risk.

Seriously. While I probably don't *technically* suffer from logorrhea, I post a LOT (when I was on Twitter, I ran between 650 and 1200 posts/month). So, "you've been warned!" :)

If you've gotten this far:
• I work in IT …which results in a lot of ranting
• I'm a lifelong music-lover …so, a fair number of posts about shows I go to
• I have no kids, just dogs …so, lotsa pix of them

Looks like evil.social is offline, again (since mid-morning).

Even at nearly 13yo, Lady still thinks sunny days are for rolling in the grass. Kaiya isn't nearly as prone to grass-rolling.

Moments like this one are why I miss snowy Winters.

So, yeah, if your only knowledge of fishnets is fencepost, I agree. Fencepost makes you look like a trussed ham. Smaller (classic) netting, on the other hand, can look great; especially as thigh highs or even full hose ...that don't rise above the tops of whatever you're wearing over them.

Member since 2009, always at the highest tier because, when I was able to share with family, it was an ok value proposition. Next month, we switch to rotating (month-at-a-time) subscriptions to other streaming services.

Just cleaning out my queue of unfinished series.

Also, judging by how much was missing from my queue, looks like Netflix is bolstering their margins ahead of mass cancelations by significantly thinning their catalog.

Next up: explaining card catalogs, microfiche or even dial-up or floppies.

Me when the doctor asks my wife how tall she is and she answers 5'3".

Aside from those, there's the whole question of the $10k worth of monthly medications that would suddenly become "out of pocket".

When I'm churning Jira or Trello tickets and realize a task I just did should have been multiple subtasks.

Rhubarb cake (before it went into the oven). Turned out nicely tart and went well with a side-mix of fresh strawberries and first-of-the-season raspberries.
