Idaho man bit by rattlesnake in Northern California recovering | KRON4

https://www.kron4.com/news/california/idaho-man-bit-by-rattlesnake-in-northern-california-recovering/

This might be mucked up, but it would take a point of contention between my ex and I on our home in a valley by the beach ⛱️.

We'd be safe likely bc the snake 🐍 would've gone for the 🦨 or 🦝 first. That and I'm darn sure our gardeners were used to avoiding the danger.

Ex: What about the 🦝s who entertain you with their antics while you take a break from the screens when working? Then our gorgeous "Flower" who can 🦨 up the 🏡 for a week after one spritz.

Me: Why the flip did we never call Animal Control on them? Was it bc we enjoyed living around wildlife. I sure did enjoy 🦌 dancing in our driveway until I remembered the cougars in the area and the elementary school across the street from. The high school up the hill was another bit to be concerned about as well.

My dad was awesome with fixing & planting

Psychology says fathers who fix broken things instead of replacing them are not being cheap: Why repairing objects becomes their way of prot

Psychology suggests that fathers who repair broken items instead of replacing them are rarely being cheap or stubborn. More often, they are

Surely he loved my husky in his strange goofy way bcuz she was nice to him and kept strangers off our property. He also played tic tac toe on her snout.

What I learned from dad, auto shops, hardware stores, electronic stores, and gardens is that there's 💰 being thrown away for no darn good reason. However when I asked him to check my bike before a bike-a-thon, he forgot to oil the chain ⛓️‍💥. -no fun

He was cheap when it came to family health insurance after u was diagnosed with an immune disease (no cure) when I was in college. He removed health insurance for the whole family and thought he'd live forever as well.

Sorry Dad, but you sorta fudged up when you updated the home insurance. Gee, if you kept IT the way it was the 🏡 would've been paid off + a couple mill for the schooling of your kids.

We love and miss you dad. Wherever you are, I hope Mandy is by your side keeping you safe.

Mayo on a Hot Dog!!!! Crazy? Maybe - YouTube

Yes, I'm finally going to try it for my afternoon hot dog! I probably already had it from Doggie Diner as a kid. You'd be surprised with what some horseradish did for their dogs.

> I've tried this and it's mostly good on Mexican & Filipino hot dogs where we add marinated onions and peppers to the mix. :: I used this on a thick and yummy Hebrews National dog. 🥣, I continued piling the cream cheese until it became clear it wasn't doing squat.

Here's the news I pray people take more seriously.

“Both of these patients, we believe, were originally sleeping right at the Keyhole, which is an area that we’re finding catches people unaware,” Santa Cruz County Volunteer Fire Capt. Kyle Breton said in a Cal Fire video after the rescue. “The tides come in, and in this case, they swept out two sleeping patients.”

2 Bay Area students die after getting trapped on Santa Cruz beach

The students graduated from Washington High School in Fremont in 2023. 

Sleeping in certain areas usually requires more research to stay safe. i.e.: Taking the weather report more seriously and/or camping where there are apex animal predators.

Bully Doesn’t Know Nerd Is A Karate Kid

Here's where I'm happy that I spent hours in the weight room after having stretches and warmups on the field. Oh the self defense was taught by my military family back on the islands.

Idk why they didn't include Bruce Lee training from his trainees. I won't make a big deal out of it. I got to let loose when I was upset.

Hold up, I see how learning to control my calm could've helped.

Let me ask you, if you were in the 6th grade and your cousin dared you to enter a couple of empty caves in the province, would you?

Well I did bc his butt kept calling the States a bunch of 🐔🐔. Guess what? Inside there were giant fruit bats trying the rest. Those suckers would've given Batman nightmares.

My response: I ran out of the cave and gave my cuz a couple kicks to their face. No worries, I've never done anything like that to others in my life.

Aiuk wtf were you thinking

Santa Clara County issues arrest warrant for 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk

The warrant comes after his December speeding video.

Sometimes misfortune can turn into a blessing. When I saw Aiyuk play for the SF 49ers I believed he'd give the team a good turn around with their standings.

He's a strange one to basically give up on physical rehab and the team after an injury. Let's not even mention how much money he turned away from for another season.

Here's the blessing for me, I didn't buy his Jersey. He's good looking and a bad mofo player when he's not in a mood. You can get his old jersey on clearance from certain stores that were left with what can be considered his "legacy."

After seeing Eddie Van Halen's solo, I'm slightly embarrassed to have thrown a big deal with Slash's solo in November Rain.

Rob Harris (@robharris46) on Threads

This was my guy. In his prime, he was untouchable

That Slash scene is so well known that his appearance in commercial playing his bit still gets me up. It takes confidence to play the way they do that inporesses me.

No joke, I backed away after playing a few chords for Stairway to Heaven. Had to stop bc we couldn't stop laughing at the Wayne's World reference. (Not bad for a Maid of Honor.)

Omfg I have no clue how adjusting to raising a kid Todd is so much different than how I was brought up.

Number 1: I want cameras arnd the house 🏡 to catch jerks, looks, and abusers attempting to hurt my kids or the children of my sisters.

Number 2: My kids don't need the distraction of doom scrolling & chatting with strangers while they should learn chords and study for class or sports. (MJ studied the manual for NBA coaches -- it paid off for him.)

Number 3: In order to hang out with their friends, I need to meet the parents of their friends to exchange contact info like phone number and addresses + work.

Number 4: I won't keep them on a tight leash, but loose enough to them to pick up the application of common sense based on morals from classic tales in order to apply it to daily life. (I was late in taking a bus home bc a friend needed me as her strength to approach the police office to report abuse.)

Number 5: I'll continue with the Jewish & Asian custom of coaching our kids on Sales & Marketing with a Wholesale license which gets applied to the children if they want to deal with selling items they get at half price. All to turn it around and invest it in college.

It's pretty sad when you catch your elders running into issues like this. I promise that it's tough to take in the realization.

Remember that it's only another phase of life and isn't any fault of their own. The elderly need love too. Try your best to bare with it without making them face a reality they're not ready for.

Neighbor to Avoid ⚠️🚨

That's all unless you're a good Samaritan trying to help everyone in your neighborhood.

I love my 6 neighbors and all when they weren't armed with anything harmful and under the influence. They were kind to me growing up and our families got along -- to an extent of course. It's been decades and we still visit them with food and gifts of love.

Go watchful parents who showed me how to make my own 'Hamburger Helper' minus the extra cost + show me the magic of marketing. As if I wasn't going to use those skills in my own wholesale business with my partners.

You'd be amazed how much it assisted when selling trading cards, stationary, and action figures.

All good you need to stay in school

Oh, I was suspended which my parents didn't agree with, but I now realize didn't look good on my application to a private college prep high school. It turns out that going to a public school system taught me agility and to think on my feet.

All the leadership roles I picked up were what I needed to survive the rocky DotCom crash future to never give up and try what works.

Metric System vs Imperial Measurements

Only three countries officially use the imperial system (or its close variant, US Customary Units) as their primary system of measurement: the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar.

That's exactly what my high school track teammates laughed at the absurdity of Track & Field changing the measurements. Hold up, it at least didn't change the high jump measurements and the weights of the shot put and discus should still be the same.

My new memorable happy is that I beat a trans high school high jump player at their 5"2'; and they're significantly taller than me. Yep I would've whooped them by 4".

Alright it turns out that the States picked up the Metric System in the game while I was busy studying every second away around the clock and loyal to Red Bull for keeping me awake enough to pass too many classes. At least I'm alive today to say it was well worth it to catch university attention.

ABOVE ALL medical files are in METRICS

Here's where my uncle, a building mechanic, unintentionally scared me. He said that the 1.7mm cancerous nodule in my lung was over a centimeter! Thank the good Lord for making these facts simple to clear online.

Of course I sent the news to my uncle so he can try minimizing his worries. Knowing that he forgot the basics shows that he's either drunk, high, or getting to the forgetful time of his life.

My Murtaugh List

Here's something I just picked up from watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother. You can think of it as a reverse 🪣 🗒️. Consider it CYA before anything bad can happen.

* try ur fave mixed drink from when you were 28, but ur now 35 w/a hottie of a date (who brought a stranger at the bar to ur table)

* take a few gulps of a housewarming bottle of a drink with your roommate and new neighbor upstairs who you don't know -- after work b4 you even got to eat.

* hang posters w/o frames -- grow up already and get a frame from a 2nd hand store.

* put off going to the dr and getting your flu & booster updates. why've you been paying for health insurance?

* 🆘🛟 company with a simple issue that fell in your engineering specialty exchange for pizza and beer. it was supposed to be a HUGE issue for a tiny tech company and I was supposed to get paid well. omg i'd look like an ingrate if i didn't take a pizza slice 🍕 & a lil 🍻 while the team celebrated.

* quit with the raves & VIP after parties. Drs finding i have epilepsy after an accident only allowed me medical THC. Quit whining about not catching Metallica and David Bowie in concert. Shut it and remember that ur little sis picked you up while looking at a guard who made sure to tell you that you had to be back at 8am. Hangover or not, the next day would be sure to be a banger.

* get ear pierced -- done & done on the cartilage. btw i get scanned at 🏥 so often that i rmvd the ring & the hole closed.

* no dumb dares in public nudist Samaritans taking down the pirate loon carrying a blowtorch and threatening tourists will always be welcome for their heroics.

* talk on the 🤳 all night. truthsies, i'm itching to read 20pgs of a 📚 before getting 😴

* underground raves are in the past; you lived it while it was the "NOW."

* adapt to new careers without being ashamed of being laid off. you are more than ur job. you don't want to be stuck in retail.

Talk abt too GenX to process

: Scene: Man overhead calling you from their apt balcony to ask you something

* do you respond or continue walking down the street?

1) ignore / nothing happens

2) listen and respond to the stranger asking you what you'd really like to eat

3) you said deep-fried PB & J sandwich not expecting much

4) the Inquisitor returns to you with the freshest of the freshest PB&J anyone never could've imagined

==

This is where social media, distancing, and fear of the unknown has done to us. Even in hospitals I have to question what it is that I want to eat and when. Don't worry, the food is totes munch-a-matic. It's the dropped energy levels from multiple sclerosis which eats most my time.

Here's hoping you've been enjoying life to your max today and to the parties and parades!

Now long do you think the leprechauns' golden fries would survive if on the ground like this? Oh flippin goodness, I came up with a storyline that's trying to escape me.

Relax and take a side note. (Created doc & marked it with a ⭐ + flagged notes.)
