As a kid i was short and fat.. over the course of one summer when i was 14- actually in just two months- i grew 10 or 11 inches, to my present height of 6’2”.. but i stayed the same weight, so i was nothing but skin and bones for the longest time .

When i read the news of Dane’s somewhat sudden death from ALS- the very first thought i had was it was probably VAD (Virtual Assisted Dying).. i think Steve Gleason kinda alluded to that in his post- but tbh it’s none of our business how he went out.. as far as i know, VAD is only legal in a handful of countries, though i think some US states allow a version of it , but dont quote me on that.. at any rate, i totally would not blame him if he took that route; would you rather slowly lose all of your body function and burden your family- or would you rather drink a solution that puts you out in seconds, or push a button or whatever you choose ? Then again, im not relgious at all so i would have zero qualms about taking the “easy” way or the “cowards” way out .. call me a coward, b/c it is true, as a control freak, er control ‘enthusiast’- that ALS shite terrifies me .


ETA for the life of me ill never understand why we as a society will put an animal down to end its suffering, but we wont - across the board- let a person end their own suffering when they are going through literal hell on Earth .

Im not sure about the entire animal kingdom- but every dog ive ever owned or known, has been extremely emotional .. like either ecstatic to see you, or whining /crying with the really sad (literally hangdog) eyes, etc

Punch is taking the internet by storm and there are hundreds of cute video of him and this is what you post. Alriggt

Did a search and saw no mention of him on TD.. i posted a general article assuming most weren’t familiar with the story.. apparently you want to be our resident go-to guy here when it comes to “cute videos” so ill be sure to consult with you next time .

I think my days of going to Mexico are over

Ive lived in a handful of different countries.. ive been to Australia, Asia, et al- places where you have airplane legs of 14, 15 hrs nonstop, then usually another shorter leg or two on the journey (even though i fuggin hate flying).. at one point in the US, I lived two hours from the Mexican border… i have never been to Mexico .


Im not sure what that says about me.. guess ive just never been motivated to check it out, and other places interest me more .

Fun fact: Shia LaBeouf is half Cajun, and half Jewish.. and his name, translated literally, means “Thank god for the beef .”

My guess would be that the first symptom of AIDS is probably … HIV ??

I love cars with manual transmissions, and have owned a few in my lifetime.. Now i live in Asia, and im currently looking for my first car here.. turns out, most cars here are stick shift, and 100% of the trucks are.. ordinarily id be fine with it, but it seems a little daunting at my advanced age to learn how to shift with my left (non-dominant) hand *and* make sure to stay on the left hand side of the road…. Guess i just need to buckle down and figure it out .

That tracks, because i heard Normand mention one time on a podcast that he actually grew up in Treme.. struck me as a little odd, becuase i grew up living all over the NOLA metro and i dont think i ever met anyone who grew up , or lived, in Treme .

Sounds like you are projecting, just like your boy Donald likes to do .

Fun fact about me, when i was a kid growing up in the 1980s and 1990s, and id see photo albums with pic sof my grandparents in the 1940s and 1950s, and id watch reruns of old shows like the Lone Ranger and Dick van Dyke- I assumed that the world back then literally WAS black and white.. like, i assumed the world didnt change into color until sometime in the late 1960s/early 1970s.. That’s a true story .
