Sorry. It was only by chance I got it. They are normally $60 a piece but they had a buy one get one free day so a friend and I split the cost. You can find cheaper chocolate but it's not as tasty as this stuff.

One day when the feds make things right and legalize it we can all mail each other stuff from our respective areas.

I can agree with that completely.

On a side note I have some adult chocolate, dark chocolate brownie batter with sea salt at 60% cocoa. It's the best of both worlds.

 Does DoorDash not have any rules about delivering your food to a person? I've never used it before but I just watched a DoorDash driver throw somebody's bag of McDonald's food by our entry door on the dirty parking lot. As somebody with OCD I don't like people to handle my food to begin with so the least amount of people doing it the better. Having my food thrown in a dirty parking lot would ruin it for me, even if it is in wrappers.

The palm of my hand. Instead of saying talk to the hand I'd say talk to the ass when holding my palm up. 
 The Penguin strikes again! The shy neighborhood stray tuxedo cat I've been trying to befriend stopped by for a visit today. I was able to approach even closer and even got some timid meowing when I called "here kitty kitty".

If I have three tuxedo cats will I be the fanciest guy around?

Thank you! It's a nice rural location and all the animals love the attention. 
 Hello everyone, happy Sunday!πŸ™‚πŸ‘‹ How is everyone and everything today We went to a rescue farm that takes in animals about to be slaughtered or retired after they can no longer work. It was a wonderful experience, my wife and daughter got to hug the St. Louis Six. They are six steers who escaped the slaughter house years ago, five are still living in the farm, one passed and has a memorial pond. I recommend it if you're in the area.

 The name of the place is The gentle Barn if anyone is interested. Along with the St Louis 6 they had plenty of other animals with two horses that used to work in Central Park pulling carriages. All the animals get chiropractor visits in acupuncturist if needed.

I'm doing ok, just getting going this morning as we slept in. We're going to a rescue farm later where you can pet and hug some animals. My wife and daughter are excited, growing up in a farm I'm more realistic. I've been bitten by many farm animals.

It was a meeting regarding a change in payroll software. I normally like to make it complicated by asking very pointed questions about policy change but the owners son was in the meeting so I let it go. He did actually fire me once years ago. 
 Good morning everyone, TGIF! πŸ‘‹πŸ™‚ It's been a shit week and I'm ready for a few days off. I saw this meme this morning and it reminded me of a few times my old coworker that retired saved my ass. Now I'm off to a payroll meeting with my nemesis HR. 🀬

I guess in a way they do but celebrities play to their target audience. I'm sure my neighbor doesn't see his "Fuck Biden" sign as an endorsement. 

Remember the Ayatollah Assahola shirts? I wouldn't say that promoted the Ayatollah but it kept him fresh in our minds.

You'd be a better judge than me, I wasn't there. I've dealt with some real idiots in a few DMVs. I can confirm my Social Security card is laminated and I used a birth certificate from the Jeff County health department.

I attached a picture of the corner of my card on the back to show it's even a crappy job on the lamination .

I've messed with all three but I've mainly been taking mine straight out of the camera or adjusting the light and contrast a bit. I slap on filters and never really like them so I just go with what I shot. Using the Canon post processing software I can switch them back and forth from black and white to color.
