You wouldn't believe how cheap it is to fly right now, you can just book 2 days before a Friday for a weekend trip and get the 6 month out promo code rock bottom price still.

True. But I have a hard time picturing the old BF/FMG/SS flying off
somewhere for a weekend.

I have 10 credit cards and over a million Amex points so I can do anything I want!

It was almost an all new me but in the last 2 weeks every mind trick I ever played on myself and every bit of personal improvement all completely unraveled leaving a hollow and broken shell.

I went 7 months without leaving my hood!

Then with my seemingly successful foray into regular dating sites, I ended up getting completely destroyed inside and couldn't stand to sit in my room by myself any longer so i booked a R/T to Denver for $84, stayed in a motel near the airport (points!) with a short guest list of approved family members to come hang out. Also wanted to assess my nieces for possible assistance in my business operations but it was failed/inconclusive.

2021 is already worse than 2020. 2020 wasn't any worse than any year prior to 2014.

The second I get the vaccine I am going back to Ireland.

It only took me a few seconds to decipher FMG. Human brains are phenomenal!

You don't automatically try to put words to acronyms?

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Picture yourself near a stream.
Birds are singing in the crisp, cool mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows this secret place.
You are in total seclusion from
that place called the world.
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall
fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
The water is crystal clear.
You can easily make out the face of the person
whose head you're holding under the water.

To be sure, it's pretty far down on the importance-to-daily-life
scale. But just FYI, it's a reference to some of Beaver Fever's former
personas on this newsgroup from way back: Full Metal Grotus and Soul
Surgeon. (There were probably others that I've forgotten.)

Every once in a while I will remember some weird detail from WAYY back
when and am amazed that that particular useless memory has been stored
away untouched for 50 or 60 years.

All the toilets were stolen out of the police station.
The police have nothing to go on.

I am often chagrinned to find that I (apparently) have so many
braincells dedicated to remembering useless things like theme songs
from 60's sitcoms and cartoons. I mean "My Mother The Car" ?!? Shit!

Only some, but there are quite a few commercial jingles that will never
be forgotten. Earliest I remember for a Los Angeles Bank:

If it's safety you want most
Coast Federal Savings
Ninth and Hill on the ground floor
Coast Federal Savings

And then the singing and dancing coin flung itself into the vault and
slammed the door.

Wait, before TV there were the siao commercials. Duz does everything.
