My 2 revelations in the past 24 hours.

1) my Labrador took a dump in my front yard last night as it was dark with some rain and as
I was getting my flashlight and poop bag together and then I realized that the shit would be there in the
morning. And it was. 🌈

B) it is very important to make sure that the heat is turned on under the food you want to cook
if you want it to be ready to eat later.

Turning it on is the key part of the equation. It's such an easy mistake. At least it appears to be to me. patphil Apr 30 #7

So I go to toast something for a minute and it comes out cold, because I NEVER turn the temperature down, so I never even looked at the knob.

Your observation has been empirically confirmed again.

LEMMA: Filling the coffee maker produces no result if you do not remember to turn it on.

I had a long wait for my cup of joe.
I put coffee in the machine and turned it on....
I forgot to put water in it.

Stick a little sign in the poop saying Dump Trump. (See photo in link). These were mysteriously showing up in various places. 😉

And my pet lab has been pooping in Lab Heaven for over 40 years. So I got that going for me.

rearranged your "SHIT LIST" .........................and sadly ate a soggy sandwich.

Like Dickens, you might say "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
