Add on the original Carol Burnett Show, the Firesign Theatre and you are me.
We are one. Speaking of Harvey Korman there’s Blazing Saddles.

Yes but I don’t know how much would be left after a high speed crash on a Houston freeway.
The horror of the very thought of that, but do know what you mean; was there in 1980, before the loop was created. Please correct me if I’m wrong - maybe it was in place by then. I do remember the traffic was horrible, and yes, you had to go fast and be aggressive.
Much of it was completed except for the north and east parts.
I am so looking to mow my lawn this weekend . It’s a large lawn . Having beers and grilling. My neighbors are few and far apart . Goodbye to the snow. It’s going to be in the high 60’s. .Yay

I wish the hubs got rid of his…instead he sold it to son. To their credit, they’ve both taken “defensive” classes at Sears raceway, but I have day-mares when they ride.
I was actually talking about urine splatter - very common due to women.
Aging is not for the faint of heart. Enlarged prostate is certainly an inconvenience. It leads to men taking nearly as long in the bathroom as women! grin Different from cancer of course; I recall a comment that many men die with prostate cancer but few die of prostate cancer. All in all a poor design. Who runs a sanitary sewer right through a major recreational area?

Actually “Life of Brian”, not the “Grail”. By the by, “Bright Side of Life” is now one of the Top Ten songs for funerals in the UK. I have written up my wishes for my own funeral and have included it - not that I have plans for anyone to be reading that any time soon.

If that was on here, then it may well have been from me. It was certainly something said to me before my diagnosis. It was also mentioned again during my first review after the radiotherapy. I’d asked what happens if it came back. Response, in essence, was that they would then slow it down with hormone treatment and I’d most probably die of something. I’m just waiting for my next review so am a bit edgy at the moment, until I see the results of the PSA test.
A casual observance (no empirical data), just gazing about as I run necessary errands…
I think the next challenging by product of the pandemic in the U.S. will be disposing of vastly increased waste placed at the curb. Last Thursday, Friday and this morning, I noticed my neighbors living in about a square mile block of residential homes, were using Michigan’s Stay Safe. Stay Home declarations to flood the streets with refuse. There was the expected bump in yard waste at the curb, but there was much, much more: Mattresses, broken furniture, cardboard of every shape and size, toys, wood scraps, (two) toilets!, floor lamps, rugs, and on.
Seems a number of Non-Essential residents furloughed from their jobs, are not just sitting in front of their TVs snacking.
It’s too early to say exactly how the changes to our refuse collection service will impact. The council has stopped the weekly green waste (which includes food waste) collection. Food waste now has to go into the “not recyclable” waste bin whihc continues to be collected fortnightly. Basically, we have to store green garden waste until things return to normal - which may be an incentive for me to start composting again. Bottles cans and plastics continue to be collected monthly. But paper is now reduced to monthly (from fortnightly) - something of an issue as that bin is filling up quicker than usual due to the various online orders being delivered in cardboard boxes. Council will not empty a bin unless the lid is closed. There are no facilities available for the disposal of the things you mention like mattresses, lamps, etc - as the refuse disposal tips are all closed. Leaving them at the curb is going to see you beign fined,as it always would do.

Right you are.
Our town has suspended what they call bulk waste collection for the duration. The trash hauler wants to make sure they can deal with normal household trash and recycling, without having to worry about hauling away bulk items like old furniture.
Everyone is home, so a lot of people are cleaning and having their Marie Kondo decluttering moments.

Well, I learn something new everyday! Didn’t even know about female urine splatter - guess it all depends on anatomy. Agree with you about the design flaws in the human body, but at least Mother Nature got some things right. And yes, aging is definitely not for sissies; sometimes it would just be nice to be a brain only - the reality of having a human body is stark at times, with aches, pains, and the like. To remember the days when the body and brain seemed like one smooth piece of machinery, that gave you mostly pleasure in all ways, is in itself painful at times. We didn’t realize then, it wouldn’t last forever…

Now I have to find that movie to watch. As if my queue was not long enough!
Something I think I made up myself: At 30 things start hurting when you go to bed. At 40 things hurt when you get up in the morning. At 50 things just hurt. 60 (this coming June) scares me.

I’m 63 and stock up on your favorite disinfectant because when you pee it can go in up to 600 different directions.
My 65 year old brother confirmed this so it’s not just me.
