Just found this on a shelf behind a wire that runs up the pantry. Guesses? Seems a little misshapen to be a real egg. Then again…

MFers have been feeding this gator at the dock from fish cleaning station. 10-12 feet long, has no aversion to humans, sadly this will not end well for the critter. Fish and Wildlife have been avoiding getting involved despite pleas by the divers. AND NO ONE HAS PUT A “NO FISH CLEANING” sign up yet.

WTF: “The glove, containing DNA, is one of “approximately” 16 that investigators found near Nancy Guthrie’s home, most of which the FBI says belonged to searchers who discarded them while working in the area.”

2am cute dog post. Sweet dreams.
Closeup of a black and tan dog face. She has a little licorice nose and big brown eyes. She has a Mona Lisa smile with her mouth closed. Her fur is a little scruffy.

A screenshot of a crossplay game board with the word DEEZ going down the middle. It does not have a green outline indicating the game does not consider it a valid play.

260th sunset of 2026
Coastal Georgia, known as the Golden Isles. A golden sunset over a saltwater river with the marsh in the distance. The fish are flopping in the water and are so loud it sounds like a constant crackling.

My 80-ish boat neighbor is using AI to help him customize his smart glasses to help him navigate a type of progressive dementia that destroys short-term memory but leaves cognitive ability intact. Be nice to elders with “perv glasses” they are literally navigating frontier for the rest of us.

#trigeminalneuralgia if you can’t tolerate carbamezapine, oxcarbezapine, gabapentin, pregabalin, lamotrigine, etc. ask your doc about ESLICARBEZAPINE. 3rd generation from carbamezapine with far fewer and less intense side effects at lower doses (400mg is effective for me).

My young friend manages a farm and this was her morning scene.
A pastoral scene with mist and mountains in the distance. There is a dirt road from the mid ground to the fore ground with two dogs in silhouette playing with each other. A large tree has the sun shining between its branches and leaves, and there is a rail fence on the right side of the dirt road.

The most pine I have ever seen inside a house. It has a gun room, with a safe door. Feels a little over the top. Great for kidnappers. Photos 27 and 28. primemls.com/properties/V...

This little guy absolutely gave up last night in the most dramatic way.
A small bouquet of 5 flowers, red and yellow. The middle red flower dropped all their leaves overnight into a dramatic little pile.

The lawfirm we are using for a real estate transaction was bought out by a national firm (private equity?) and the price of our transaction went up by exactly $500 overnight. But I had the original email quoting price and they honored it after a little tussle. Crazy stuff bleeding us all dry.

Oh FFS, a 40ft limit excludes a LOT of bluewater personal boats. It's almost like the people making up the rules are clueless.
