The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Sigh… my (soon to be ex) tenant has struck again.

It feels like a bad breakup…

Him:
I'm gonna need the rest of the week to clear out the building. Unfortunately, the dumpster filled up, and I need another 3 - 4 days to run stuff up to the dump. I would tell your new Tennant to start moving in Sunday if you want to be conservative. It won't be possible for me to clear it out while he is moving in, as we would be completely in each other's way.

Me:

I don’t know what you’ve been doing since August but get your fucking shit off of my property tomrrow. Pay me my back rent by 11:59 tomorrow plus half the fee for the dumpster ($275) for a total of $1,475. You’ve had 90 days notice and you’ve STILL gone over by a month because of your poor planning and any lack of concern for me.

I haven’t even factored in your back fee, which is well over $1000.

I’ve given you every break and been nice since day one. No more. It will be a long night for you.

This has to end. Today.

So - no meetings for you tomorrow?
Dumpster and Lockup Duty?
 
My mom took heres in a late 40 early 50 something packard....
The test was to go up this super steep hill.without stalling the car.... she was the only one in the group that could do it. She had been driving allis chalmer tractors since she was 8.... and the grain truck for just as long. the rest of the kids were city kids that had no idea
Love that story!

I was telling someone my my mom learned to drive in a model A. She grew up on a farm in Indiana.

She said it was so high off the ground she thought she’d tip it over on the farm. This was maybe 1943/44 ish.
 
We had a rooster when i was a kid who chased us... there is currently a rooster next door named kevin who is a straight up asshole.... he has been busted in the head with a bucket and kicked multiple times .. he is currently in solitary confinement serving life for 1st degree assholeness
We had a few chickens. My sisters named theirs clucky and roosty. I named mine Ploski after Stan the man Ploski who was the local hotshoe at flemington speedway.

He was also an asshole rooster who chased us kids all over! I wanted to like him cuz I named him.

But he too, was an asshole. 😂
 
Actually, I have to go to the office. And I want him to clean his own shit out. More than anything I just don’t want to be stuck with all of his shit and let him off the hook.
I hear ya... and I want that for you, too.
But...
what's your plan for when you stop by on your way home after work?
Because I'm laying odds and you know which way I'm leaning 🤨 :mad:

Landlady leaves the chicken-n-duck buttfruit off ice and they keep for weeks.

Of course, those eggs ain't got no Monsanto in 'em, so there's that.

Apparently, you can coat them in Vaseline or similar and they'll last 6 months to a year. A trick for loading for long sailing voyages.

We collectively used to use sodium silicate to seal the shells also. Waterglass is something that's not known much about anymore.

I will if it’s overly sweet or too buttery.

Sometimes too much is too much.
I've only ever had one piece of cake that was too much. It was an amazing chocolate cake with a really thick sweet peanut butter icing. I thought I'd want seconds.

Wow was I wrong. Somewhere between the first bite, and the last there existed this complete concrete wall. My brain just "Nope, you're done now". Everyone else has the same reaction.

Weirdest thing ever.

Well, for cake that it was.

Asshole roosters keep the hens safe. Or at least they think they do.

You can see similar behaviors in bars and pubs if you watch close enough.
 
Was the 61 Impala a stick with no power steering? I learned on one that had “ 3 on the tree” stick shift. It was not easy but I was desperate for freedom and learned!
Both of my parents were avid manual transmission disciples. My mom drove a stick until she was forced to give up her keys at 83.

I learned on a stick. Everytime I went to buy a new car and requested a manual drive, I was met with, "Do you even know how to drive a stick, little lady (or sugar, honey, darlin. Insert platitude here)?" 😡

I might have scared a salesman or three. I learned to drive in Italy. 🤭🤭

Both of my vehicles are automatic now.

I would SOOOO love to do this for my friend who is in rehab. He’s having a rough go at it and for the first time I’ve ever seen him, he is quite down.

The gravity of his situation I think is hitting him…

Even though he is a dog person, I would love to dump a box of cats on him to make him laugh.

I did get a couple chuckles out of him yesterday and brought him some Dunkin’ Donuts coffee.

Mission accomplished.
When I was in the hospital with pancreatitis, my husband smuggled my dog in! We were so happy to see each other! She jumped down from his arms onto my bed and snuggled up to me. Good medicine!

Check with the social worker to see if they have therapy dogs who visit with patients. This should be something s/he could arrange.
 
Why would you do that on a Weekend??

JK. I bet with more and more online shopping, the malls are actually fairly tolerable this time of year.

Hope you had fun!
I know it was crazy to go on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't completely horrible. Traffic was awful. Parking sucked but I lucked out and snagged a good spot.

I wanted to get gifts for my kids but didn't want to take a chance on them being delivered. I decided to go to the Apple store and buy them myself. There were lots of sales associates working. I was in and out in about 10 minutes! We brought my girl; she got lots of attention!
