Small Talk: Ughngnggh! Ugghhnnn!

[nachomama]

Ok, narcissism and vanity...not the same thing. Can you be one without the other? I've known people who are vain but can still feel empathy for others. A narcissist mostly only themselves, right?

I understand why you hung up on that person, but I don't think I could ever do that. 

I never did it before or since. My history with this person... well, I could write a book. The hang-up was a long time coming, and a case of the straw that broke the camel's back. I had no regrets. In fact, I was filled with relief and elation. I may have even twirled around my living room.

Isn't that why some men seek out prostitutes?   They don't want to be alone, they aren't looking for a commitment.

No need for hookers. Now they have "friends with benefits", one of the sadder and more distasteful trends of the New Age.

I resent Brady and the Patriots deflat gate, Belicheck bullshit. I'd appreciate him more if I knew of his underdog status but his overdog status is what irks me now.

I think I have a narcissistic friend. Everything about them has to be better than you. And it isn't straight up vanity. Even though I have to sit there at dinner while they input their calories. Their car has to be better, their ideas have to be better. I feel like that's too exhausting.

I'm getting my favorite sangwich for free today! Wheeeeeeee! promo code it's a south african couple and they do a sandwich called the conquistador. It's grilled chicken but the secret is in the sauce. It's a huge whopping hunk of sammich and they make a sauce with a peri peri pepper from south africa. It was voted the #1 sammich in the south. I'm getting the vegetarian one, mushrooms, zuchini, spinach onions tomatoes cheese but I'm telling you the SAUUUUUUUUUCE.

You cannot pick this up and eat it, you have to knife and fork it.

I'm so glad I got my sandwich. Today's my last day eating solid food. Tomorrow it's yank city on my tooth. I'm nervous. Now I gotta figure out what my last meal is. I have to work tonight so it's something on the run.

[nachomama]

They didn't do anything before, apparently the process is to see several different ones that all get to charge and then the final round where I get to pay. Wheeee! Teeth roulette.

My english teacher in high school told us tales of having a summer job where he wheeled the people in to get their teeth out for dentures.

Spoiler

he said it was jamb a screwdriver between teeth, twist and yank.

 

[nachomama]

They did the cold thing with my tooth too and I felt nothing. She said well, that tooth is dead dead. The guy doing the extraction said "that tooth looks like it hurts" which it has not been too bad considering I 've had it for over a year. but I've been feeling it quite a bit for these last months I've been waiting. I think it was timed just about right

I saw three different dentists for my root canal.  They each touched the tooth with something really cold to make sure they were looking at the right tooth.  I nearly jumped through the sealing each time.

The wisdom is, that you should always grasp the dentist firmly by the testicles (if available), then say calmly, were not going to be hurting each other today are we! 😷

Have you watched all of The Watch episodes that have aired so far?    I have seen everything that is On Demand, and damn is that series hard to follow.  I had noticed that you posted in an episode over in that neck of the woods, and I just thought I would ask you about it.

Yeah, like I said over there, characters & sets are cool, world building is cool, but I kind of have only a vague idea of what's going on. I've never heard of the source material, but apparently it's extensive. The show states it is "inspired" by the source material, so I'm sure hardcore fans are pissed. 

[nachomama]

I've got some episodes of "the Watch" recorded, haven't set out to watch them yet.

Tooth wasn't so bad, it's gross but manageable. I just want it to be over, no more episodes.

I feel the same way about music.  I like the original artists, not a fan of artists singing the established work of the original artists, even if the original artists don't have a problem with it.

I like when artists take a song and put a new sound to it, like Led Zeppelin. If an artist is just doing a straight cover, then I'd rather listen to the original. Like that whole swing revival of the late 90s. Why not listen to Cab Calloway and Louis Prima?

We aren't getting snow but holy cats I thought they were gonna huff and puff and blow my house down yesterday and rain all day. Not that I had anywhere to go or anything to do this weekend. Sitting around eating my pudding.

Since I'm working from home and I don't have to shovel, I don't mind too much. The BS is that my agency, which NEVER closes, including 30 inches of snow and Hurricane Sandy, is closed today, with an email reminding us that we have to telecommute.

The story broke just a few weeks ago that he had severe cancer. I didn't expect him to go so quickly.

YEAH, the Screech thing was super quick. I knew Alex Trebek would be gone in about a year because that's how pancreatic cancer works, he actually lasted a long time. We knew a guy who died within 3 weeks when diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it was heartwrenching.

I’ve got to admit I’m a bit flummoxed as to what comment you mean, I may come out with the odd humorous thing now and again, but I’m certainly no Billy Connolly. The odd comment regarding  a Dentist’s testicles is about as smutty as I get, if that was where you were heading 🤔 🤗

Like yourself, my little voice can go AWOL for weeks on end and I have to check myself especially when writing things down. Forums can be a nightmare, especially as our humour over here can struggle to cross oceans and be received in the way it was meant.

Yeah, and I wonder how many of those people are secretly watching porn online.

I spent my life working on the floor of a stock exchange, where you better "get tough or die". 😆 As a sweet dumb young girl, I may have spent my first 2 or so years there with a permanent red face, but there is not much that can offend me after that.

I can’t believe I’m so late on this one, I’m usually up to speed on the Philadelphia rap scene 🙄

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the fool claims to have insurance, which will undoubtably help when his head is sitting on the desk of a Russian Mafia boss 💀

 

Marvel fans think Lil Uzi Vert might want to be careful before he ends up like Vision. The Philadelphia rapper got a $24 million pink diamond embedded in his forehead this week.;

"I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now," Uzi previously tweet. "This one Stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond. A lot of M’s in my face."

 "If I lose the ring yeah U will make fun of me more than putting it in my forehead ha ha jokes on you ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... And yes I do have insurance."

I heard something like 17.5 inches. It looks more like a foot. You can walk around, but most cars are still snowed in. They're saying another 4-7 inches for Sunday. 

The only good part is I got to take my daughter out to play in it on Tuesday.

Adults don't have the luxury of running away from their problems.   

They do now! It seems the majority of adults up to 40 years old can't make it on their own (I think a lot of that has to do with "We want that and we want it now!" = massive credit card debt, etc.) so go running back to mommy and daddy, often with a passel of kiddies in tow for grandma to raise.

It's not until tomorrow for us. Has it hit elsewhere? They're talking 4-7 inches for tomorrow afternoon. I don't really mind, but Tuesday I'm going to try to get into the office. It'll just make the walking a bit slower.

I'm glad I'm not heavily invested in the big game because congrats Brady. the whole thing was blah.

[Mr. Sparkle]

I'm not a betting man, but I would have lost last night. Mahomes forgot to show up. 

[nachomama]

Did Mahomes forget to show up or did his defense forget? I didn't actually watch watch, I skimmed. hahaha but the talky people seemed to think it was either the bucs overpowered them in that department or they were lacking.

[Mr. Sparkle]

I watched maybe 10 minutes total. The plays I did see, Mahomes was run over by TB. He'd manage to get the ball off, but didn't hit any receivers. It's a testament to him that he was able to throw fairly accurately with that much pressure on him. 

If I were Brady, I'd take this fairytale ending and go home victorious.

I guess I can't complain since half the country got so much snow but our weather is blah. It's so frikkin dark outside and just cold drizzle. but it's inspired me to cook. Here's what I get for listening to tiktok. There's a feta pasta recipe that's going around. They take grape tomatoes and drizzle it with olive oil and slap a chunk of feta cheese in it. Bake it for like an hour then stir in pasta. I'm not even italian but my mind immediately says "NO you don't make a tomato "sauce" with these stupid little tomatoes" It's kinda like dip. I don't think anybody's grandma still makes the sunday sauce with actual tomatoes and peeling them but they do peel them don't they? If you buy the san marzanos in a can they're peeled? Anywho I just used a sauce and the feta and threw some sausage in. It tasted ok. but guess what? Afterwards your house smells like barf. hahahhaha
