A tan dog laying on a red upholstered chair next to a woman in a T-shirt and shorts. The dog is intently looking at the camera.
I post this mostly to scream into the void. Our dear dog, Pippa, was diagnosed with a tumor on her spleen several weeks ago. This is basically a death sentence, but we were very lucky to find out about it before it burst. We were given the opportunity to give her a peaceful goodbye on Saturday, the 5th.
On the 3rd, I got a call from my mother that my dad was in the emergency room. The cancer he has been fighting for 18 months had started affecting his lungs and he was having trouble breathing. They decided to put him on hospice, and he returned home on the 4th with a pile of morphine.
We said goodbye to our dog and then packed up to drive down to our parents the next day. There is still dog fur all over the apartment. My father has rapidly declined, from needing a little help to move between the living room and the bed to now being barely there. I'll spare all the gory details in between.
We're looking at hours to days left for him, but my wife and I have decided we need to go home after two weeks with little sleep and acting as the primary support for my mother. Other family is arriving tomorrow. We're expecting to return in a few days, but we need to swap clothes and grab some essentials we forgot in our haste.
It's been a time

I'll give my pups a few extra scratches behind the ears tomorrow. And I'll call my folks this weekend.
Love to you and yours. Loads of long distance hugs from internet friends. Sorry that you’re going through it. ❤️
yeah i took my dog to the foot of the Rainbow Bridge before a two week stay seeing my father to his.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🖤🖤🖤
Ach. At moments like this you need all the fortitude you can muster.
Taking care of dying loved ones is such a labour of love...

I think it had literally been more than 20 years since the last time I saw Melt Banana. They still kick ass.

Booker T Jones at a wood-cased organ on the left, with the guitar, drums and bass spread evenly across the stage, under blue lights.
I jumped on these tickets when I saw the announcement this spring and glad I did - the show sold out then they added another night that also sold out.
He’s still in great form and the band was super tight, running through a revue of his own songs from the 60s and ‘70s and those from some friends. He came out from the organ and played a little guitar for Ain’t No Sunshine, then stayed up there while the band took a break and he did a great solo version of What’s Going On.
The sounds was excellent and the band went from whisper quiet during Summertime to a room-filling throb during Green Onions and Time is Tight. Great show.

hello from the last two li’l guys i left around the office
wrote a long ramble, decided to spare y’all for today. maybe the whole spiel another time.
long-short, today gave me two sharp reminders why i need to move on from my job (yet another sudden teammate layoff, followed by witnessing yet another excruciating bullying by the CEO in a meeting)
y’all got any vibes, job-hunting tips, or just general encouragement to get my ass on the moving-on-with-your-life express, put ‘em here
thanks for always listening and supporting.

I don’t have any magic job hunting tips, but good vibes for finding escape velocity and a better direction

I would recommend hiringcafe.com over Indeed/LinkedIn. The site scrapes tons of sites and provides a direct (or as direct as possible) link to submit application.
My other thought is to act now. Working in that type of environment is emotionally draining, and (at least this is true for me) being so drained makes it hard to act. Besides, think of searching/applying as an F U to the bully.

Fingers crossed, Nik.
I agree that you should act now. I worked at a place with a chaotic owner/CEO and knew I needed to leave for months and eventually wound up rage quitting with nothing secured and it sucked having to find work while my bank account was quickly draining and the future was uncertain.

EV?
@dapete It’s a shortened VW Type 2, so probably just the usual air cooled flat-four.
@bezt I _think_ there’s enough space at the back.

Ribs in a tray
Having company tomorrow so I'm trimming and rubbing the ribs today.
Trying a new butcher and OMG the St Louis racks are monsters.
Trying a new butcher and OMG the St Louis racks are monsters.
Those racks say "You know what, I'm not even gonna bother to trim these down and I'll bet this beardo is gonna love 'em."
@jer and they were right, but I trimmed them enough to get some fat for ramen
I have grown to love St. Louis slabs. When I first started running a smoker I was all about the baby backs and then I came to my senses. Those look fabulous.

A selfie taken in front of a fifteen foot tall knight in a Renaissance styled black and purple costume with a jeweled crown. There is a crucifix on a necklace, a chain of office, other jewelry, and an engraved metal pin that reads "this father is proud of you".
On our opening day I took this in 'The Royal Glade' where we have our human combat chess match. I am a player in it this year, as, obviously, the black king chess piece. I have a short sword fight with Madame Sapphire, proprietor of the brothel. I end up disarmed with my arm around her waist fanning her while my Queen Isabella and Louisa, the third member of our Spanish court, beat the other two brothel women.
I used to know the name of the Knight. It was built in 2000 bet the SCA for some obscure reason that I don't remember, either.

In the style of a birth announcement, a graphic at the top with flowers and chickens alternating. Below, "Olivia & Trey are happy to announce Foggy Laid Her First Egg the morning of September 15, 2026. We're 95% sure she is the first of the young 'uns to lay. She's the only one with white eggs so we know it was her...and this is the first very tiny egg!" There is a photo of said white chicken looking head on at the camera and a graphic of a tiny white egg interspersed.

I can smell this photo. And I love that you get to live it.
Aw nice! 🪴🌱😊
I am jealous. I need to add 'work at greenhouse' to my list of careers to consider once AI kills this one...
Oh that's splendid
How lovely for you! Plants give life.
congrats, that sounds like an a++ change. enjoy.
i'm at that precipice now, trying to figure out how to get out of this industry madhouse before i lose it totally.

@nikkuneko madhouse to the hothouse... the (garden) path is clear
good luck with it all. I did the same many years back from chef to archaeologist. A bunch of pain with that journey but well worth it in the end

Our son (working on his 3rd graduate degree and supporting himself with loans) likes to work in the greenhouse at school when he comes home to visit. It pays a lot less than gigging, but he likes the work.

HOORAY
Congratulations!!
Hell of a leap. Nice jumping!

A figure holding a long staff walks through a looming, eerily minimal city. The buildings are large, blocklike, and rectangular, with few windows and doors. The effect is that of a theatrical set. Set on the front face of the largest building is a giant analog clock. The overall scene is a greenish-gold color. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

Picture of a laminated sheet with bilingual instructions. At the bottom there are instructions for free WiFi that requires a long random string of letters for the password
That’s a wicked password for free WiFi.
Oh, and Hi! I’m in Mt Fuji area to go for a long bike ride
Oh, and Hi! I’m in Mt Fuji area to go for a long bike ride
At least make a QR code for that wifi login, sheesh!
If you make me work for it, you should expect me to use the shit out of it.
Probably 2 weeks early for optimal Fuji bike riding weather. Isn't there a Typhoon heading your way?
@jordanbrock Today was nice (68F to 75F), but in a couple of weeks the colors would probably be amazing.
I sure hope a typhoon isn't coming! I'm riding Shimanami Kaido next week.
