When this goes live, I’ll be in New Tripoli, PA which I hope is nicer than the original Tripoli. I’m sure there was some time in history when Libya was not a terrible place, but I honestly don’t know when that was. I am not a big history buff.
The week begins (that is, today) without any big warning or encouragements, tomorrow we get a Mercury/Jupiter alignment that is a bad sign if you’re a government official (hello NSA! Sucks to be you!) Then a bit of a nice day on Wednesday as we gather the terrestrial planets for some three-part harmony. And then nothing for the rest of the week. Space is a cold and empty place.

I’d go with while under Roman control.
Imprisonment, suspicion, doubt, reasonable fear, shame.
Sufficiently shitty.
Maybe also while a Greek colony.
I’ll second DEG. Roman what is now Libya was considered very nice. Even today the Roman era ruins are considered first rate- though too dangerous to visit.
though too dangerous to visit.
You mean regime changing Qaddafi didn’t work out?
There were prosperous Greek colonies there 2600 years ago. It was a very prosperous place during Roman times and during the Gothic kingdoms that flooded. Then the Arab Muslim invasions…
followed not flooded.
Greeks and Goths I’ll add to the list.
What about the emos?
I think I dated her in college.
Ted, I thought they went to Australia where they won a war against the colonial government.
No, wait, that was Emus.
Sagittarius: The Sun reversed – Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment.
*kicks back*
This one actually fits
WAI WAI WAI
Does this mean I actually GET some wealth????
*snoopy dance*
It means Ernst Blofeld will approach you to format his memoirs in e-book form.
About that wealth, turns out the intelligence was bad. Sorry.

Keep dancing though. It’s the trip, not the destination…
I had not heard that one four score.
Pretty good.

This, right here. Put up a mirror and show her just how ugly she is.
From the ded thred:
It’s not just Bill Gates, et al. Even the fucking IPCC admitted that the foundation of every ounce of climate catastrophizing over the last 20 years was complete bullshit.
https://youtu.be/VhiPJZARbc4?si=U5PT-KD6vyl6o5dL
And because of that bullshit we have an entire generation of people who have been duped into utter madness.
Do we get the trillions of dollars that were thrown out the window back?
They’ll get right on that after we get back the trillions burned (and still being burnt) because of Covid-era policy.
I watched the video you shared in the chat last night. He layed it out quite nicely but sadly the damage is done. Personally I know a couple of couples that have not have had children because of their religious adherence to Manbearpig. And they are now in their fourties’. It’s too late for them.

Cuffs and outfits.
☑️
But the incontinence will be messy. Oh wait, *incapacity*. Carry on.
Cuffs and outfits.
Kink event?
On the discussion the other day about inflation, the grocery where I shop has ribeye for $22/lb.
The $16/lb place I stopped shopping at because they went over the top with the Rona Panic stupidity. A few months ago I thought I would give them another try. Too many employees were wearing face diapers so I haven’t been back.
Albertsons has permanently lost my buisnesses over their Rona adherence.
I hope the cops sympathize with the dog here: https://www.wowt.com/2026/05/24/scottsbluff-police-respond-gunfire-convenience-store-after-dog-accidently-shoots-person-with-shotgun/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSABVxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFZaGFMaVgzMzVUNmhSOGJwc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHuMUxXjQimwo4t7kvoXQKI4fo2WJ3J57l_2bX0Ekq4rymWI89jH8H0rVrH2e_aem_95UfadeAvbfiKvCciefcdw
Fluffy has hearing damage now.
“Leo: 9 of Swords reversed – Imprisonment, suspicion, doubt, reasonable fear, shame”
None of the above
I’ll have to look and see if the horoscope from 2 weeks ago warned about being stupid and to act my age. That Friday I decided to start cleaning gutters on a property that desperately needs it. I didn’t have a rope, so I just climbed a ladder with a blower on my back. I did that 6 times before my knees just refused to do it anymore. For over a week now my back and legs have been yelling at me.
As my next door neighbor has told me a million times, “This getting old shit isn’t what’s it’s cracked up to be.”
Howdy Neighbor and don’t fall down!
I was doing pretty well until one one day…
I don’t take four score’s advice.
I’m still hurting from the fall out of a box truck week before last.
Glibs life hack, provided free of charge.
When grinding chipoltes and thai chilis to make the respective powders, and forgetting to put on food prep gloves, avoid the urge to take a leak in the middle of the activity.
If you absolutely must take a leak, resist the urge to aggressively re-arrange your balls during the process.
FUUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!
(I looked back at previous IFLA entries and saw no warnings for Taurus indicating any such danger. I demand my money back)
Oooo. Sorry. I did that exactly once.
Plain white vinegar cuts the burn, almost immediately.
Speaking from a friend’s experience, ladies are not immune to this issue.
Ladies. When you have been chopping up peppers don’t forget to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water before you tinkle. Afterwards might be too late and you’ll be doing the painful dance.
Dish soap works best. Don’t forget to get under your nails, contact lens wearers.
Funny you should mentioned that. My neighbor told me all about those things.
If in doubt, post your question here, there is some Glib that can answer it.
I have had the misfortune of touching my eye after not washing my hands well enough after working with super hots. That was a hell of 20 minutes.
Things we learn(ed) along the way.
Like taking toast out of the toaster with a fork
I chopped regular jalapenos, then washed my hands 2X with very hot water and Dawn.
2 hours later I took my contacts out. It was still on my hands.
Once I had an RX for
Capsaicin cream for my bad back.
After applying it I rubbed my eyes. Don’t do that either.
Also.
Don’t eat spicy stuff.
Threedoor:
But spicy stuff tastes good!
Spicy flavor is the body telling you not to eat the poison the plants are producing. After the foul taste comes the inflammation and leaky gut.
Threedoor:
The same thing with bitter flavors, caffeine, and alcohol.
It’s hard to learn to smoke but yet some of us did that. Irrational behavior that we had to overcome and then it was tough to stop.
Video of the incident.

ZWAK and frau are at Yankee stadium catching a game.
Fuck the Yankees!
Well I am sure that the Indians will beat them soon. Oh, wait…
ZWAK:
I’m sure the Indians would have won the World Series this year… too bad they got scalped into Guardians.
In the meantime, this will be the game I’m watching this afternoon.
My condolences.
I did not realize Drew Carey had lost his fucking mind, first supporting Biden in 2020 and now coming out in support of Karen Bass (or at least against Spencer Pratt).
I’ve never met anyone who got smarter by smoking weed.
They’re aiming for a buffer overflow – reduce the intellect enough that it flips to max!
Damn it Drew. Don’t get retarded.
Celebrities without a care in the world put their thumb on the scale for the proud communist who is making life miserable for the plebes. Film at 11.
I used to have some respect for that guy. Not anymore.
Pork, Chicken or Fish for dinner?
Tacos say yes.
Tortilla == 0;
😞
Bacon wrapped chicken skewers.
I’m afraid my chicken option is in the form of wings, so that would be a lot of work.
I’d rather not go out to buy more food, since I have plenty on-hand.

I have a tournament next weekend, this sounds promising.

Never mind, “happy wife, happy life” and all.
