Inspiration? Thanks, but no thanks...
On March 30, blue did a nothing blog about a fermented drink called Kombucha.
He mentioned the name, said he put down his first batch and asked if anyone tried making some. The drink was unknown to me, so I did some research to see how it was made and decided it was not worth my time to do some experimental brewing.
To my surprise, I found some Kombucha locally on the refrigerated drink display at the grocery store. Some people claim about it's health benefits, so I decided to try it. Nearly $3 a bottle, I only bought 2. It was the 4th of April when I blogged about my findings giving blue full credit for his blog that inspired me to try Kombucha.
As a slap in the face, on April 5th, I was falsely accused of copying his blog.
No... in my blog I 'filled in the blanks' explaining what Kombucha actually was.
(yes, thank you blue for not explaining what Kombucha is, your commenters had to do that)
A week later it's reported that "Kombucha is so old hat Switchel is where it's at" Notice the quotation marks? I didn't say that. The original Kombucha author did. In an attempt to 'sour grapes' the Kombucha blog, he claims that Switchel is the sought after drink.
I won't be outdone with this exotic drink BS and have secured a small amount of nitro-methane that mixed with lemon juice, battery acid, eye of newt and clam shells creates a drink that will 'knock your socks off' but I have to do this at my home in Miami as the condo association rules forbid any volatile compounds on the premises.
... to be continued.

Swirley is gone...
One of the first things I wanted to replace in my condo remodeling project was an old toilet. I named it Swirley because it used 2-1/2 gallons per flush and took 2 minutes to fill up again. That really wasn't the worst part... The worst part was watching the water level rise to the rim of the bowl and start swirling it's contents (yes, poop) for 30 seconds before making it's way to Mar-a-Lago!
The missus didn't mind it probably because she came from a country where they poop over a hole in the floor. Another complaint I had was the low seat height. Think of Kiddie height for young children. So, it was agreed new toilet was in the budget.
I got a name and number of a plumber from the VP of the condo association and his guy wanted $250 and recommended I get a $250 toilet.
Not wanting to pay $500, I put the project down on my 'do list' until one day I had to stop at my place for lunch and a plumber was in the guest spot finishing a conversation before getting out of his truck. I asked if he had a set price to replace a toilet and he said "$135"
I said "Put me on your schedule for the middle of next week"
The night before I stopped at The Home Depot and picked up a name brand toilet for $190. Chair height and elongated no-slam seat. This is normal by today's standards.
On the appointment day, the plumber called to confirm and showed up on-time. He disconnected the old toilet and carried it out in parts for removal. I asked if there was a date of manufacture and he glanced down at the lid shouting back to me "1977"
Smiling to hear that... it was an antique and I was replacing the original toilet that came with the condo.
He worked fast and within 45 minutes the new toilet was installed and caulked to the floor. I paid him for his work and got a quote to do some other repairs after I replace some vanity cabinets.
Swirley is gone. I have a new fangled toilet that uses 1.28 GPF and fills quickly.
Just to be sure, I gave it a test run within minutes after installation and all went as planned!

It's Friday...
Friday the 13th to be exact and a full moon.
I fired someone this week, walked out of a doctor's office yesterday after waiting an hour and 45 minutes with an appointment. If someone else gives me shit my response may be less than pleasant.
Not enough time to paint my house I hired someone to do the job. Last week was perfect and now the weather is scattered showers for the next 5 days.

Voting and voting by mail...
Citizens of the United States have the privilege to vote in elections and there are a few rules that must be followed. You must be 18 or over, a resident (with some homeless exceptions) and not a convicted felon. You can register to vote online, by mail or in person at a local election office. Birth certificate or ID is required for a voter card to be issued. It usually takes a few weeks to receive your voter registration card in the mail.
When you go to vote, you will be asked to show a photo ID and that information will be cross referenced to confirm you are allowed into a voting booth to cast your vote. One registered voter, one vote.
Mail-in votes have some rules as you must request a ballot prior to an election. Only ONE will be sent out that is imprinted with your identification details. Mail-in ballot requests have a time limit and you will be notified that new requests have to be made for future elections.
From what I have read, the data base used to confirm who is on the eligibility list and who is not, is constantly updated. One thing it does do, is to verify if someone is deceased. So if you scoop up your dead uncle's photo ID and voter registration card, you may have an interview with election security at the polls.

Creating a blog to calm the political storm...
It's been a week since the Moderator swept through and deleted a shitload bunch of political, virus, religious blogs in an attempt to steer blogs (and forums) back to their intended direction... dating.
I see a few disguised as something else have slipped through and that's to be expected. What I didn't expect was the original post by the Moderator having taken on a life of it's own with a high-level of bickering... it bears the very same tone of blogs that were deleted.
At some point I'd wager at least one of the following: The blog to be locked, some comments to be deleted, an additional revision or entry from the Moderator.
Years ago, Yahoo allowed for comments to their articles/stories and sometime last year, that was discontinued as opinions went beyond opinion with name calling and comment abuse taking the focus far away from what Yahoo intended.
I think this first round was a polite warning...

Using the wrong Gorilla... there's more to the story!
A few days ago social media went ablaze when Tessica Brown misused a spray product named Gorilla Glue in place of a hair gel named Gorilla Snot when her normal hair spray Got2B Glued Blasting Freeze Spray was unavailable. She claimed that 'a mont' later 'it don't move' because it was still glued hard.
Amazing as I had doubts the story could be real.
Today's update: the woman goes to the hospital for help where they attempt to soften the glue with acetone but it was too painful and they had to stop.
Also reported Miss Brown has set up a GoFundMe account that's raised more than $12,000 and considering her legal options against Gorilla Glue since the product didn't specifically warn against hair usage.
Gorilla Glue made a statement they are sorry to hear about the woman's unfortunate incident and the product is not indicated for use in or on hair.
More information gathered from Miss Brown's TikTok account states that she's a 40 year old teacher from Louisiana. That should rule out a lack of reading comprehension.
Maybe not...

Word block...
Most sites I've posted to have some type of filtering. Different names for the same thing, it could be called word filtering, censorship, word block, and sometimes it's called annoying!
Profanity blocking tops the list, but all websites are not equal. We can say WTF on CS but a musician site I'm a member of doesn't allow that. You type WTF and your post will read: Oh my goodness.
Are you serious... they inserted Oh my goodness in place of WTF.
The military coined SNAFU and it's often used in TV news, newspapers and online news. Explain to your 10 year old what SNAFU means.
Lots of words get blocked here. The other word for rooster that begins with 'C' gets blocked by the filter. There's a famous British singer Joe who's family name gets blocked simply because it contains part of the blocked word. Depending on the website, that city in Thailand also gets blocked. You know, Bang....
If your name is Richard, don't expect your nickname (starting with the letter D) to pass the filter.
Buttocks... only the British version 'arse' gets through, the 3 letter word used in America is blocked. But you can say shit.
Oh, you graduated with honors? don't expect to be able to use the Latin word that goes with 'laude'
The 'C' word that describes some women won't make it through, nor will some body parts.
Consistently inconstant, but you've just got to work with it!
