This is the only social media I do.

Dog biscuits are very bland, even the cheese flavored ones.

Happy hump day. Chinese for lunch and I don't have to pay for it and I don't have to steal the IT Directors lunch!

Don’t know about dog biscuits, but swallowing live gold fish (at night) guarantees that your burps will smell fishy the next day.

As far as social media, constantly on my private FB page, I have a public FB page, and IG for biz(and a bit of personal). Just realized the other night that I haven’t posted anything personal to IG in quite a while. All biz these days. No twitter. Don’t understand it and don’t see a use for it.

GH85Carrera 04-24-2019 09:59 AM

Yea, I have no desire to get into Twitter, or spapchat or the other ways to waste time. Pelican and Faceplant are enough for me.

And really, I do get to keep you with old friends and relatives. I like the funny videos and seeing what others are doing.

flipper35 04-24-2019 10:21 AM

I can see social media for business. For family, if it is important they can call/text/email.

Jim Richards 04-24-2019 10:46 AM

I only use email, text, or phone calls to keep up with friends & relatives. And Pelican. Maybe that’s why no one likes me.

Went thru my texts. The last text I got from my brother was a thumbs up and was on 4/20, thought that was funny.

neither of us partake of the wacky tabacky stuff tho both of us would have a good excuse to get a prescription for it. In fact, at my last doctor's visit he asked me if I needed some pain medication beside the occasional tylenol 3 or Hydrocodone refill I call in.

I know my brother with MS has that trigeminal nerve pain, where the nerves going to your face are messed up and it is painfl for no reason, Said he has tried the liquid stuff, but it doesn't help, and refuses to try smokin. They claim trigeminal nerve pain is the worst you can experience. If it were me, I think F what people might think I'd try it to see if it helps with the pain.

Rx? I don’t need a stinkin’ Rx!

Getting fancy these days. This company packages the glass containers in a nice box with a magnet to keep the flap closed. Also included a small package of hemp wick.

Has your brother tried the pain patches or balms? I’ve used balms for back pain and it helps.

RKDinOKC 04-24-2019 01:59 PM

Don't think he would want to plaster something on his face if he refuses to try smoking. Think he tried the prescription strength oil stuff.

Started the conversation by asking if I would still get fired if I tested positive for Pot but had a prescription for it to manage my diabetic pain. He said I would. So I asked about the Oil stuff made from it and he said the problem with that is i doesn't work very well, and that he tried it for his trigeminatial pain.

slodave 04-24-2019 02:36 PM

Transdermal patches don’t enter the blood stream, so there’s effectively no way you can test positive. That’s just a FYI. Not suggesting your brother put a bunch of patches on his face.

RKDinOKC 04-24-2019 02:45 PM

Since I am 15 years younger he doesn't listen to a word I say. He is just like my oldest brother whom is 81. He is older so knows more about everything.

Smuckers sent me an email, they can't find anyone in my area that sells thier Milk Bone brushing Chews.
Said I could order them online with free shipping though.

Local Grocery store has an entire side of an isle with nothing but dog food and treats. Used to get Purina Pro Plan there, Milk Bone brushing chews, Nudges Chicken Jerky, and Pupperoni. Now all they gots is the Chicken Jerky and Pupperoni. Went to Pet store to get Pro Plan and Milk Bones. Now the Pet store doesn't even carry the Milk Bones.

Found with my first dog, Penny. The right expensive dog food is cheaper. She liked that Eukanuba stuff. with no soy and very little grain. For her a 10lb bag lasted as long as a 50lb bag of anything else. Eukanuba was more digestable and all that other cheap stuff just ended up piled in the back yard, if ya know what I mean. So I look for the dog foods that the top incredient is meat, not grains or soy.

Oh, and while I am on it, the dog food bags that have pictures of veggies on it are for the owners sake. My first golden had access to all kinds of garden and the only thing she would go eat out of the garden was Okra?

This sounds about right. ^^^^

The snake Mrs Carrera saved from the jaws of death was this;

A Tropidoclonion. Yea, that is easy to pronounce. And I bet if I showd that snake to 1,000 people not one would say, oh wow, look a Tropidoclonion. :rolleyes:

I noticed Tuesday that when I was getting our trash bins from the curb to put away behind the house that the flowerbed wall next to the driveway looks funny. So I investigated further. The dirt, no, the "soil" in the flowerbed was pushed back a little and several of the loose dry stack stones that make the wall were out of position, and had been pushed in and there were marks on the concrete driveway where it was evident that one of the stones had been knocked onto the driveway. I re-stacked them in under a minute and the soil will settled down into place with a push or two of my hand, so no real damage except a small scratch on the driveway that will vanish after the next rain.

Mrs Carrera asked that I investigate further. One of the security cameras on my DVR system is pointed right at my driveway, so I was going to have a clear view of the culprit. So I found on Sunday evening at 17:49:21 hours the guy that delivered our pizza pulled up out front, a then decided to back up into the driveway. He smacked right into the wall with his SUV. I can read the license tag, in the HD footage, and clearly see him put some of the bricks back in place, and then deliver the pizza to us.

He did no real damage to our property, and I fixed the wall in a minute and the only damage was some scratches to his bumper and a possible dent in the valance. Not my problem. Hopefully he learned to be more vigilant in watching his mirrors when he backs up. I could save a clip of the video, but I see no positive reason to bother to go any further.

free pizza?

I doubt the pizza store is going to offer that. No doubt the kid (he looked like a college age kid) has no money or he would not be driving mom's hand me down POS SUV.

RKDinOKC 04-25-2019 07:00 AM

Have had them drive up into my drive, but never back up. One of my nephew's boys was a pizza delivery driver for a long time after he got out of rehab, maybe that explains the strange driving behavior.

GH85Carrera 04-25-2019 07:08 AM

Pizza delivery is not a real career thing. Usually a way that someone with just a driver's license and a vehicle can make a few bucks. It is likely just above the guys (or gals) standing on the curb and spinning a sign while dressed up in a silly costume. It is not the honor students and top of the class crowd.

flipper35 04-25-2019 07:10 AM

They can just make a loop in our drive, but only one place will deliver to us and it looks and smells like pizza, so it must be pizza but it might get off on trial because of reasonable doubt. For the good stuff we have to drive 3 miles each way to pick it up.

GH85Carrera 04-25-2019 07:42 AM

Yea, our favorite pizza place does not deliver. They built the business delivering pizza in Stillwater, OK, on the OSU campus. Now they have franchises, and they don't deliver. I can see why, the ovens are running at capacity most evenings, and the line at the pickup for takeout is often several people deep. They are about 4.5 miles away, and I make that journey on occasion. They must be printing money. No overhead for delivery drivers, and the employees are busy. The restaurant is usually full and has a waiting area at prime time to get in.

Good for people who's cars are too ratty to get an uber or lyft gig.
