I’ve only hit a deer once in my 42 years here on the coast. I had just turned on to 101 so I wasn’t going very fast. I was looking in my rear view mirror as my road is at the top of a hill and sometime cars come flying over the top. I looked back at the road and a deer was standing in the middle of the lanes. Oh, please stay there, no it leapt in front of me. I slammed on my breaks and it sort of rolled over the front of my truck and landed on the side of the highway. I stopped and got out to check and it was dead still with it’s big brown eyes staring at me. I though it was dead. I looked for it on my way back from town and it was gone, I decided I only stunned it and it got up and went on it’s merry way.
My avatar killed a bunny once but I forgave him because he was a great mouser/ratter.
The latest Lume commercial on TV just now. OMG. What will that woman come up with next.
Lume?
NVM. Such an American obsession.
I was wondering that myself. Maybe she hasn’t made it to our neck of the woods yet?
I’m confused. When I type in Lume it comes up deodorant.
Consider yourself lucky.
I guess I should. But then I’m subjected to endless Dr. Oz for Senate ads 
The whole idea of “intimate deodorant” is ludicrous. But then the beauty industrial complex thrives on making women feel weird about themselves or inadequate. Barf.
Where’s the taint & ball deodorant for doodz that is equally advertised?
Which reminds me of a commercial I kept hearing on the radio today (I know . . .I’m a dinosaur, but I was sitting outside listening to the Phils). It was for chicken made out of plants only. But they kept repeating it was chicken. But they kept repeating it was plant-based. It wasn’t a very good commercial since I don’t remember the name of the product. Then again I am obviously not a member of their target audience.
Believe it or not a sports radio guy in Philly had a long-running thing about the “male fragrance” his wife bought him for Christmas. Apparently the gift was a joke, but the product was real.
Another sports radio guy used to have a gig advertising “mansculpting” products. So they do exist.
ETA: The tag-line was “Clean it up down there!”
Oh, I know about manscaping 
Get it now?
I think that’s their main tactic. They make you feel that you don’t have something essential, and tell you that they have it for you.
I use DEO when I go somewhere because this is a warm weather country, and sweating even at slight movement is common in many areas. But I don’t think that except some floral scents any other scent would be identified as “women’s” by anyone. But companies sell them categorized as men and women. Lol.
Happy to report 2nd fence gate rebuild was completed yesterday with zero wasp stings this time around. Two dead wasps, though. I didn’t give them a chance. As soon as each showed up I zapped them with my sweat towel and stomped.
It’s amazing how badly this thing was initially constructed. The Z-frame at each of the corners was held together by a single angle-driven nail. Yeah, I know the planking (once installed) provides a lot of the structural support, but c’mon.
I redid all the corners with 3 inch screws and in one case, some angle bracing. They also installed the hinge hardware without drilling pilot holes, and the screws were heavy enough to crack the 2x4s, so I had to repair those as well.
I hit a mother (literally) doe this last year. Ruined my hood, but her fat ass lived to see another day. I bet she was 200+.
That island they live on must have some pretty jumpy deer.
Dang. Nice “sandwich.”

Got selected for the National Tour Guide Lecturer Licence course. 5 months duration. Since the only way out of the country’s current dollar quagmire is tourism, it will be promoted more than anything else. Guides will be able to make a good living when the season starts. Course fee is high, and I’m looking for someone who would give me a loan, but it’s fully worth taking it. Spending around 400usd in course fee is a good investment, considering 30usd per day guide fee and other extras that would be around 800usd per month when the season starts.
So if anyone visits Sri Lanka after 6 months, the chances are I could be your guide 
That’s one in a million chance though
