I was jk about them being Black Ants. It was generic Viagra. Ya the toothpaste thing is baffling. As much as I really love the UK it’s getting a bit too absurd

It’s definitely an interesting time here - we had our first arrest for “thought crimes” recently, woman arrested for praying, silently.
Fortunately that was thrown out and compensation paid, but freedom of speech is more restricted here, particularly through societal pressure if not directly through law. I’m always mindful of the fact that I can easily be identified here (this is my only online engagement) and my employers could fire me if I spoke out of turn.

Wtf is happening there?? Are the people that complacent or afraid of meaningless labels?? Sad… love that place but likely never going back

So sorry to hear that. I’m glad they threw it out, but it seems like a sign of things to come. And America is probably not too far behind.
I had the perfect meme for this topic but then realized that adding it as a response to you could get you in trouble. So I’ll just put it in my log as an independent post and you can pretend to be horrified and offended.

This seems fitting. Your presence online is so comforting and encouraging that it’s probably 10 times that in real life. #PeopleMagnet

Shame on police for enforcing that trash though.

Kipper loves playground equipment and he’s terrified of children. So we let him loose on occasion at the crack of dawn.
One of the funniest pictures in my phone.
Roxy judging me for opening my phone instead of my Bible.

I believe that’s a furry love worm, also known as shnuggle bug or bark muffin.

That is sooooo dangerous. But if you happen to slip and fall and accidentally buy a furry friend, I will be so excited for you!!

Tried out an empty bar bench press. Pec is still weird, so no chest work. It’ll be good to go next week. Today’s workout was glute-heavy with back and triceps.
Hip Thrusts: 4 x Failure + pauses and accentuated eccentric
Straight Arm Pulldown: Lat focus → Tricep focus
Seated Cable Row: 4 x Failure
A gym buddy caught me between sets and gave me a flyer for an upcoming event, so I tested the waters by asking if he was familiar with Patrick Bet David, who I was listening to at the moment. He was. Good to know. In Colorado you can’t assume anything, but I figured it was probably safe to ask since his flyer was for a gun show on Sunday.

Chris tweaked his protein pumpkin pie recipe and it’s pretty addictive. So we did a video for it yesterday.

There’s this video showing what a bunch of different animals look like without fur and the only cute one is the raccoon. And I bet after only a decade or so of domestication they could become just as lovable as dogs. Plus they have hands.

Glute pump was unreal.

Latina Women Know How To Party
My friend’s daughter turned 13, so all her “tias” were invited over. And yes, I am a proud Mexican aunt and I will spoil the heck out of that little girl any chance I get.
But anyway, the kiddo ended up hanging out with a friend in her room, and all of us aunts just ended up drinking, dancing, and laughing. It was the best mayhem. Red wine and I are not friends right now. Also, day drinking is is better than night drinking. Also, I barely got buzzed but somehow ended up with a migraine the next day. Is this just what happens in your 40s or did I need more sustenance?
Good advice:

Made me smile, I genuinely love it when this happens.
Not sure red wine is anyones friend.
I start getting a headache during the first glass of red wine these days. It may well be an age thing or probably a tolerance thing. But I don’t want to go through the pain of building that tolerance only to be rewarded with the ability to drink more wine. So I abstain.

Aww thanks!
It used to be my go-to but now it just causes headaches. Glad I’m not alone!
Yeah that’s probably smart. I’ve only had alcohol three times this year, but the second two happened to fall on consecutive weeks.
