Not after a jealous Rojo beats us to a pulp over someone whom we don't want back, no man. Ex-she man is permanently afflicted with Expensiveness, and only the Rojo is currently vulnerable, ha man. "Dear Santa, si man: I flushed my brother's head, si man. But can I still get a puppy, huh man?" This is a serious character flaw that must be corrected rapidly, si man! An optimal day should start not much before noon, si man.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: This is the Many'rd consecutive day that we didn't leave the casa, interesting man. Mini-B. and we both slept in, tired Two Guys man. We are still under the weather, enough already with lingering cold man. Lunch for Mini-B. was a PB&J sandwich, ingest wee man. Lunch for us was onecan of chili*, ingest we man. *bought at a previous ES, financially savvy we man Ex-Mrs.-T-B. then took Mini-B. to visit Mama T-B., visit senior she man ex-she and wee man man. They gave her a foto-displayer into which ex-Mrs.-T-B. had loaded Many,000 fotos, all of Mini-B. et al. from birth through present man.

It will apparently be ready right before a late bedtime, conflict envisioned here man. We will do our best to act fatherly in this instance, Go To Bed On Time Or Else man. We have a doc caucus on Wed., investigate swollen foot man. We will therefore finally leave the casa, non-hermit-like we man. Party with the rubias between now and then, cavort we man.

Some really nice stories here!

California Pizza Hut Operators Laying off All Delivery Drivers Due to Mandated Wage Increase In their seemingly never-ending quest to make lives for Californians miserable, the state legislature passed a bill that Governor Newsom signed into law mandating a $20 minimum wage for fast food workers by April of 2024. Now you'd think that would be great for the workers, who are often low-income and could use the extra money. But that can only happen if they have a job... and for at least these 1,200 employees, they soon won't as multiple Golden State Pizza Hut franchises, collectively operating hundreds of stores, are laying off all their in-house drivers.

Si, man, except 2 out of 2 Ecus have shown this proclivity, inexplicable man. We know from Many years of experience that then-Mrs.-T-B. wasn't always in a hurry, si and no man. Cousin Mini-B. is as taciturn as they come, so hurry doesn't fit his profile either, si and no man. We tentatively conclude that Ecus are somehow bred or trained to remove clothing thus, si man. Ketchup is one of the major food groups, see and si and man. And exactly what would be substituted for it*, huh man? *in Poland, they put strawberry ice cream + motor oil** on hot dogs, oj tak **weight = Many W Many, oj tak For Many reasons, couldn't do anything that's lurking in your mind even if we'd wanna'd, no man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. hadn't had a shower in 2 days, and the Rojo lives nearly an hour away, that's what to say man. And everybody ends up sweet-talking us in general, Mini-B. and ex-Mrs.-T-B. chief among them man. We asked if ex-she man had brought her own towels, hadn't man. This was quite enough reason to deny any request, see man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. knows that we go aysheep if eventual Sunday laundry loads are unexpectedly increased, si man. She would therefore not press the matter of using one or more of our towels, no man.

Thrilling Monday other-half-report, half-see man: Cousin Mini-B. highly appreciated our Thread Laundress skills, launder threads proficiently we man. Had to return the stuff in a large plastic bag, but we kept the wrinkle-prone stuff on top, proficient we man. We were struck that Cousin Mini-B. is the second Ecu (ex-Mrs.-T-B. = the first) who has removed below-waist items similarly, to wit man: underwear wrapped around one inside-out pants leg, efficient for removal but not for warshing man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. invited herself over to watch a movie with us, self-invite ex-she man man. (The acute excuse was that she needed to pee, still no water at ex-her man's casa man.) It was right at din-din time, of course man. Din-din was to be bagged shredded lettuce + hot dogs, Two Guys din-din man. Fortunately, bagged salad was ample for Many (2+1) eaters, perceive we man. Mini-B. had salad of lettuce, tomato slices, and croutons in Ranch dressing, ingest wee man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had salad of lettuce, tomato slices, and croutons in raspberry vinaigrette dressing, ingest ex-she man. We had salad of lettuce in raspberry vinaigrette dressing, ingest we man. Everyone seemed highly pleased, ingest all man. Mini-B. then had 2 bun-length hot dogs with ketchup & mustard, ingest wee man. We then had 2 bun-length hot dogs with ketchup, ingest we man. The entire culinary production earned a Two Guys high-Many (high-[2+2+1]), si man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was lobbying for popcorn the entire time, obvious ex-she man. The viewing choice was more episodes of Young Sheldon, excellent man. Many (2+2+1) bags of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys and ex-she man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had a smaller bowl, sitting noncontiguously man. She managed to scrape the entire heavily salted top layer into this bowl, shameless ex-she man. Ex-she man questioned why we were eating Many bowls, uneducated ex-she man man. We looked at her like she was crazy (= no comment man) and said, "This is standard Two Guys practice, see man," si man. After the entertainment, a rousing and raucous game of mini-hoop basketball occurred, participate we and wee and ex-she man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. softly lobbied for the chance to take a shower in our casa, enough freeloading is enough man. We donated some bottles of water, do it like you did in Guayaquil when young man. We should have said, "CTR (call the Rojo) even though he lives nearly an hour away," si man. (What's the purpose of having a Rojo if one can't use a Rojo's bathroom facilities, huh huh huh man?) Watched late TV news with Mini-B., see we and wee man man. Explained how Jewish anchormen often volunteer for Christmas/Easter duty, act of kindness man. Mini-B. actually kept his nose out of his phone for the entire newscast, unbelievable man. Mini-B. zzz-ing, exhausted and well-gifted wee man man. Party with the rubias under way, cavort we man. If we feel better on Tuesday, shall visit Mama T-B., stuff to give and get man.

Surprise, surprise... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Israeli Military Discovers 'Child-Sized' Suicide Vests in Gaza Medical Clinic [...] The Islamic terrorist group that burnt and beheaded Israeli babies on October 7, is now apparently grooming Gaza's children to become suicide bombers in its jihad against the advancing Israeli troops.
