ADD was just starting to be talked about when I was a kid. They did not want to use that label because those were bad kids. But they knew there was a problem when my reading comprehension exams put me at least 2 year ahead of my peers but spelling/grammar 2 years back. But they couldn’t figure why 🙄

"ADHD label risks lifelong harm to children." If you don't label the disorder, then what we will be labelled instead is "Lazy." "Underachiever." "Doesn't live up to their potential." "Bad student." Those labels come with pain, shame, and abuse. The ADHD label comes with a chance for support.

There were a lot of places that despite the “Now Open” signs in their windows clearly had not been open for some months. Other “pubs” had signs “No Food Service”. Pfft! Even the hotel’s restaurant did not seem to want to serve anyone other than drinks from the bar.

Back home from the weekend roadtrip. I have to say the best food was in a small farm community about 30 minutes out of Peoria, Il. The worst was in the center of Springfield (when we finally found something other than corporate fast food)

A Tim Bell? Taco Hortons?🤔

Ok people. The f-ing emu is next! GO!

One thing I love about road trips is exploring some of the local roadside restaurants and diners. Farming community dinners can turn out to be great places to get good comfort food for any meal.

Sitting in a Springfield (IL) pub. With all the “historical” plaques around this town and everyone trying to tie themselves into Abraham Lincoln’s life, I was surprised it did not have a “Lincoln Slept Here” sign out front.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle

A Richard Scarry drawing of Dingo (a brown dog) in his cowboy hat pink bandanna around his neck with a yellow shirt and white and yellow vest.

Dingo is driving his trademark red hot rod which the lights drawn to look a little bit like eyes and the grill has teeth. There is some space between the bottom of the tires and the shadow on the road surface to give a feeling that he is driving at a very high rate of speed… which he is.

I miss this one. I’d love to find a way to play it again 😕🤔🏴‍☠️🤫

It is also the date of the #PeshtigoFire in Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan which was actually much larger and had significantly more casualties than the Chicago Fire did when it was all over.

On this day 155 years ago the #GreatChicagoFire began. This was the pivotal event that turned a basic big water to rail port city into the great modern city it is today. Out of the fire came the first modern Skyscraper and with it the introduction of the Chicago School of architecture.

So… um… @ysharros.bsky.social I thought I heard some rumblings about a certain event day. Today. Like a Birthday, perhaps. 😁 well, if these rumblings are correct, then… Happy birthday! 🎉🎂 I hope it’s a great one. *Hands over a fresh birthday pie, a bottle of dark rum, and a box of back pills*

Far better than I can do. Looks good. Keep it up 😊

I lucked out & had a few RAs in college that like me & my floor mates. We had a couple of mobility challenged people & few times the RAs suggested we go out to a bar after dinner. We got back just as the elevators were put back in service. Saved us walking down then back up 12 stories.

This is one of the reasons I drink at night. Another being no matter how bad DD is at their job the bosses boss won’t allow us to fire this one person without exceptional reasons short of breaking the law.

Just had an employee (let’s call them DD) ask where my other employee went to. He had taken a 1/2 day PTO and left at Noon (5 hours ago). DD did not realize that, even though their cubicles are in the same room 15 ft apart and tried to start up a conversation several times with no responses.

Yeah I got itchy to see Rivendell some time way too soon out of the intro the first time. I had already learned how to dodge and weave along the main paths so I naively thought I could make it all the way. If I recall I did not get too far over the Last Bridge before something took me out.

So that’s why my big girl wants to lick my face in the morning. She’s checking to see if she can finally get to take a bite.

Ooo this is fun. I’m a hobbit. I want to go see Rivendell! Wow these enemies are coming out of the woodwork to find me. Better be careful. Why are they all red now… What was that message that flashed on the screen? All I saw was “Danger…” What… Ok how did I just die? I don’t see anyone. 😳 🧌🏹☠️

I vaguely recall seeing this back then. I started it one year and considered it for a number of others but when this news came out I dropped the idea entirely.

Glad to see some Tevatron respect on this one.

When the OH brought home the nascar game for our console years ago, I found it kinda boring… until I started dropping out of the pack at lap 2 and going the other direction. That was fun! 😎 💥🏎️🏎️

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Woot! Hell has a new toy. Anyone coming to piss on his grave let me know. I’ll supply the water. Better yet gatorade. You need to keep up the electrolytes.

There are other options that could become available. Seems paying a tax might be a good compromise.
