Thats a sweet quest to be on. For me the two songs from them that stood out were Road to Nowhere & Burning Down the House. Don't think either matches your description though. Hope you find the song.

You could afford tweed in high school? I was lucky when I could get $10 together. A Ramones tee didn't get any notice in the early 80s. People just assumed those of us that had long hair wore Ramones, Dio, Judas Priests, Motley Crue, Sabbath or even Dokken shirts smoked & weren't to be messed with

It's very good to hear that other nurse's eyes work. Sounds like a nice gig.

Today's challenge is walking a few miles to get a haircut and writing an action plan before going to lunch with my 93y old father-out-law, his girlfriend and my 18y old son. Some people call this Wednesday.

This has to be a rhetorical question. If you asked this same people to point out where ancient Greece, Scythia or Anatolia were on a geographical map of the world they would be s little confused. When you tell them Cleopatra was of Greek descent they refuse to believe it.

Hate admitting this but the writers made the original Buzz Light-year one of my heroes. No matter how bad things may get, " Never give up, Never surrender!!" 🤠

People tend to think of us poorly when it makes excusing their own lack of effort convenient. That shouldn't surprise me but still does.

Not there yet, but there are a few surprises with aging. For example waking up with almost no vision in my left eye, a muscle injury that wasn't there at bedtime wildly different bladder levels and room temperatures that miraculously feel 10 degrees different every 47 minutes.

First time I heard a vocal ensemble, with chords, of "Smoke on the Water" was when drinking beers with the crew of a Sp frigate in Charleston, SC. Yes, we were young & their USMC escort joined in, but dammit, Janet they sounded pretty good. 😁

If you want to make him laugh please tell him the first two albums I ever bought were The Beach Boys and The Monkees Greatest hits. Bought both on 8-track when I was in elementary school.... But years later I did have a beer at Kokomo

My mother is a retired nurse & father from radiology. People, sometimes you really dont know what's wrong with you...lol..On the bright side ignorance makes for some great joke fodder. 5 years ago I was telling men that refused to get vaccinated covid caused erectile dysfunction & hair loss. 😇

I have literally told annoying & demanding strangers to call my assistant Jennifer at 410-867-5309 to schedule an appointment with me just to encourage them go away. It's not my fault they don't know music.

Very good film...Ironically this was the first adult type movie my brother & I saw in theaters. I was 7 and thought it was cool. My brother was 5 and refused to go in the Ocean the rest of that summer.

What would you define as an agent? 🤓 While many working for Langley can be arrogant they're usually smart as hell w/o anger issues. Their biggest fights at work or at home tend to be about project implementation. Scariest thing about all of them is they remember every friggin' word they hear.

I never really cared about having bike lanes on rural highways until gas prices shot up so high. Now I'm a huge fan of having them and a ten speed bike.

I am sorry to hear that. That has to be hard on both of you. My mother is 84 and has refused to get her vaccinations. As a result she can't go to mass but watches it on cable every week. ...That may help on your side during special holidays like Easter.

I planned on weeding, trimming and doing yardwork most of today. Naturally it just started raining 12 hours before they said it would. Seriously what gives? While appreciating the gesture I don't need help procrastinating. Some gifts we're born with. Wait a minute..I hear my laundry calling. 😁

I missed one ..Since its an election year and voters are gullible the Chinese tariffs will be reduced too.... Making tvs, stereos, boots and parts cheaper for consumers.

No worries. We all have our escapes. I work in a field that doesn't require me to speak to the public.

ubetcha.bsky.social @ubetcha.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
True. It's very similar to speaking to a drunk or stoned person.

Given that Donny has the negotiating skills of Neville Chamberlain I expect that next week our government will announce certain tariffs will be reduced & Chinese cars are going to be sold in the USA. Sad that he needs to bring corporate backup with him today so that he appears important to fools.

I literally lost everything ( assets, house, income, car, heath, love) I had in the course of 6 horrid years. Still recovering from the mental & emotional shock. Take baby steps, talk to everyone that appears interesting, some of them care and never give up.

ubetcha.bsky.social @ubetcha.bsky.social · 08/05/2026
Yeah, I know I more or less paraphrased you. Still was a sincere compliment. I am furious with how oblivious & apathetic people are. You handle that better.

I believe you.. When I went there I was young & single. We'd get a motel for the weekend & just walk downtown Milwaukee. Didn't drive. Cleveland is sort of the same atmosphere.

Won't "like" this post however that moot may come back. Your deactivating or what I call fading away for a few days is consistent with your nature. Sometimes we need a little private time to recenter.

Understood. When I was living in Chicago I drove to Milwaukee with friends at least two weekends a month.. People were much nicer, and a little friendlier, there. Travel safe please.

My first "all night long" party was with friends playing AD&D at a stranger's house when I was in high school. Was actually surprised when the sun came up before the game was over.

Anyone that thinks blaming a former president on things getting worse today will only keep DJT's approval rating low. When comsumers pay $75 for a tank of gas this week they aren't blaming Biden. What sort of coward uses scapegoats? Quick, lets argue with the Pope, that will make this look better!
020
ubetcha.bsky.social @ubetcha.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
That may be true but that's still less expensive than the average price of gas today in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon & Washington. Note - While not a Democrat or a Biden fan I respect incompetent braggarts even less. Pointing at the past doesn't make DJT look better in the now.

Isn't he the guy that was president when gas was much cheaper?

Where can I find this psychiatrist. Yeah, I have had two severe TBI(s) so will need one for life. So what? The important thing is a doctor is saying it's ok to eat lots of buttered toast!

No.. Think of it this way. You're living in a world where all of a sudden you want to cheer for Harrison Ford, Jimmy Kimmel, King Charles and The Pope. For 2026 this is Normal...Now if you start dating Justin Bieber we may have to have a talk about mental health. 😎

Fudge, I do need to renew my passport. This looks like I'm going to either have to pay extra money to get one fast OR wait three years until they get the douchebag-in-chief's photo off of them.

Set aside a big jar to put loose charge in throughout the year then cash it in every December. Typically it will be more $$ than you expect.

Reality can be a bitch..You're on game and it was clever. Don't sweat it. Sometimes people just aren't in the mood for subtle observations.
