Couch 216: The Baseball Couch

I got a new game for my switch its said its relaxing as you fly a bird through landscapes but i cant get the sensitivity controls right and i crashed my bird into mountains cliffs and oceans or sent it soaring into the ether. I have never been so stressed playing a game

Small Keanu reference there

I emailed a councellor this last week to find out about her as her website isnt up yet and she emailed me back saying her website would be up next week, or if i cant wait that ling she can email me the files with this information. If i were her i would have asked some questions to find out what i want. Whats the point of directing me to a website or sending me files?

I’m staying for the night in one of my building’s guest apartments. Which is much nicer than mine. Has a TV in every room. The last person to watch Netflix in here was someone named Fred, whose taste overlaps my own in many ways.

Animals are fine. New cat was unimpressed with the hunky fireman who carried her out. And lone dog hid under my bed with new cat and got stuck.

That's scary, @@. Glad you and the animals are OK and hope you can return to your apartment, soon. Enjoy the backup place in the meantime. (If this was a romantic comedy, you'd somehow encounter Fred--like, he left something behind in the apartment--and start dating).

I missed the gas scare glad you and the pets are ok and the other residents @@

Glad you are okay ATAT - and lone dog is not alone in following cats and getting stuck etc -cats often get dogs into predicaments.

I'm also glad you guys are safe.

Probably because it's easier and faster to have you review her info and then ask any questions that weren't already answered in that info.

James Brown was a prolific wife beater. I don't think he had a deep respect for women at all. His wives were terrified of him.

I do still enjoy his music, though.

ETA - He also was abusive to women that worked with him in addition to his wives - Tammi Terrell, for example.

Read this really interesting article about him and his death recently .

Cant fault a woman who smokes Marlboros! That was my brand!

I contacted a new t. She emailed me back on Saturday (yesterday) asking if I had time to talk on the phone Sunday (today). She also offered like 3 others times to talk during the week, but they were all times I’m at work. I emailed back a few hours later saying I’m free all day Sunday and to just let me know what time works best for her. Now I haven’t heard anything and I’m worried she won’t call today and then we won’t be able to connect since I’m busy during the other times she mentioned.

Marlboro reds or lights? Mine was Camel Lights. Many of my friends at the time smoked Marlboro lights, which had less flavor to me.

I just found it a bit impersonal. My exT gave you a quick rundown on his qualifications and some modalities he used.

Either. My dad smoked Camels!

We had a giganto Marlboro billboard on the freeway between the airport and downtown detroit. It made news when they took it down due to the antismoking efforts.

In grad school I knew a girl who got her fiance a job as a cigarette taster at her dad's cigarette factory (do they make cigarettes in factories?). Way to show your love, with carcinogens!

If I had ever smoked I would have wanted to try Virginia Slims...you've come a long way, bay-bee.

They do make cigarettes in factories. I pass one on the way to work, when I go into the office that is.

The job I had while I did my associates degree was doing consumer research for a tobacco company. It was an interesting job.

I'm confused. Where else would cigarettes be made?

Spontaneous generation?

Maybe @@ had never considered where cigarettes were made before just i had never considered that it would be too expensive for different car manufactures to make their own carparts so there are a few factories that the different manufacturers contract

For all I know there’s a special name for places that make cigarettes. Like nicotineries.

Wow. Mississippi decided to redesign their state flag to remove the confederate battle emblem. Never thought I'd see something like that happen.

Maybe some of us are picturing all cigarettes as fussy hand-rolled artisanal cigarettes. I found a video about how cigarettes are made on YouTube, but it's too boring to even link to. I love the TV show How It's Made, so my factory tour video standards are quite high.

The toddler has developed a deep affection for American cheese. She saw me giving it to the dog with his pill inside a few weeks ago and wanted to try it. Now I have to cheese her alongside him every evening. My wife is kind of a cheese snob, so she is duly horrified.

The kid also loves these habernero cheese sticks that are almost too spicy for me to tolerate. It's so fun that she's becoming a tiny person with preferences and quirks.

Makes sense. Cuz then They do tend to jump into your mouth and burst into flame.

Eta - first dogs hugging standing up, now kids eating hidden cheese. Talking cats. If dogs and cats can learn shyte, why cant people???
