Post your random thoughts, questions, ideas here... I'll start
1) Have you ever watched America's Funniest Videos and wonder why the winning video is almost NEVER funny AT ALL?? We were watching some older episodes on Disney Plus and the final 3 videos are always stupid and not funny, and the worst one ALWAYS wins.. WTF..
2) How have cereal bags NOT been made with zip lock technology??
3) They need to make a container that can keep to-go french fries from getting soggy...

Since the weather FINALLY started getting cooler - a whole month late, thanks global warming - I finally started digging upstairs for all the gaming stuff I want to try to sell to a local reseller so I can actually raise money to get the ball moving on selling the house. But I have a lot of things that would probably be better off going to people who actually want it. And I don't want to deal with ebay... or paypal... Bleh.
In the same boat. Really debating selling off the collection to help fund a new home ... but the amount of work and eBay/Facebook/etc. just a pain in the ass. Collector items, pictures, questions, big ol' hassle. Be curious to hear what you end up doing.

I agree, but do you use pocket hand sanitizer after every store you enter? The point is, if you've been touching OTHER stuff (i.e. doors and such that other people just touched). I doubt you cleanse your hands after you enter. Minus the restroom.
I'm not sure if you are talking to me or someone else...but I do use hand sanitizer after leaving a public building and getting back to my car unless I didn't touch anything like a pin pad at the check out.

I'm 50/50 on selling it all or just burning down the house with me inside it.

In the Netherlands, if you're handicapped you can have government-sponsored trips to the Red Light District up to 12 times a year because sex is a human right there.

I have been craving a hot dog lately real bad. Haven't had one in over a decade and usually only ever had them at Fenway Park anyhow. Not a huge pork guy but I'm gonna have to snag one soon.

I think there are beef and chicken hot dog options too. Though, I don't know how you would tell the difference without tasting it first (unless you ask the store/stand).

Anyone ever had a tofu dog?
I tried them maybe 15 years ago and they were absolutely awful. They added smoke flavoring which made the whole thing taste even worse. I don't like throwing out food, but I determined that they didn't qualify as food with how bad they were, so the rest of the pack went in the bin.
I know that the plant-based meat substitute industry has made some pretty significant upgrades in quality in the past few years, so it's possible they wouldn't be completely wretched now.

Can't stand Tofu... But I have tried some various plant based Hamburger patties one being mushroom based. It looked like dog food though, until it was cooked. I believe they had hotdogs also.

The tofurkey I tried at one Thanksgiving wasn't terrible, but it was so overloaded with salt to make up for the lack of umami that it was likely way less healthy for you than a regular turkey. They actually extruded the tofu into strands and lightly smashed them together in a failed attempt to replicate the texture of meat. Kudos for trying though. I ate 1 slice then went back to the real deal.

We once had a bird build a nest inside our microwave vent.
One morning, we heard a bunch of noises coming from the cabinet above the microwave. I open the cabinet and see a baby bird jumping around. After it had hatched, it had fallen down from the vent area through a small space into the cabinet below.
I made a space for it to live outside, safe from the elements, hoping the mother bird would come and feed it. It did. I was pretty excited when the mother appeared. Sadly, the baby bird didn't make it past a couple of days. I don't know what happened. I went to check on it one morning and it was lying on its side. Even though it wasn't my bird, it hit hard. I so badly wanted the bird to make it. I buried it. I think I teared up at some point.

Caved, and agreed to grow our family, +1. 9 week old goldendoodle (F1). She’s the cutest thing ever. Good grief, I forgot just how much patience is required.

Haha, I was so against a golden doodle as well. We're 2 months in and Kirby (boy) is awesome. He's so much fun! Glad you're enjoying her!
Puppies are a handful for sure. Hope you have another pup to help her burn off the energy! We just got back from an 8 hour outing at a wine maize and brewery and watching him and and our 4 yr old lab going absolutely bat crap for a solid hour was so much fun.

@MrBean we have a 9 year old female pug. She is being super tolerant of the new puppy but she has always been super well behaved in almost all situations. Probably one of the best dogs I have ever owned. They say dogs get separation anxiety… I get separation anxiety from her lol.
I’m hopeful she can show the puppy the ropes once the puppy settles in a bit.

I was walking outside and saw a black squirrel (not native to NY) and two chickens. In a residential area. The squirrel was doing squirrely things, like scampering around, but the chickens were just hanging out on a gate.

I didn't know that black squirrels were rare in some areas. Here in Michigan, we see them all over the place -- daily. heh.
