Memories which are sick and demented need to stay hidden in the closet. This is obviously one of those memories. It’s best if you dispose of that arm brace as soon as possible. I’m going to shop for a new laptop today. ---

Too bad about all the environmental problems caused both by its manufacture and later disposal. But I guess that’s of no concern to you, so long as you can watch funny cat videos, right? I haven’t seen a funny cat video in at least two weeks now. ---

Maybe now you can find a better use of your time than watching cat humiliation videos. I made a really good Italian omelet for lunch today. ---

Why you got to specify “Italian”? Does that make it better or something. What is in an Italian omlet anyway? Much as I hate shoe shopping, I bought some much needed new summer shoes today. ---

You should try walking a mile in someone else’s shoes, building your sense of empathy and acknowledging your common humanity, before spoiling yourself with new shoes. I don’t have any shoes on right now. ---

Why? Are people who spend a lot of time reading and posting in Thread Games worse than those in other threads? Have you looked at the Pit lately? I hope Donald Trump does not run for re-election in 2020. ---

Yeah, and you’re also the person who refuses to ask for directions, aren’t you? Which explains why you haven’t been farther than 20 miles from your house in the last decade. My daughter’s birthday is today. ---

Well sure they are if you’re homeless like yourself. Air-conditioned comfort, clean bathrooms, and lots to read. Plus lots of folks coming and going to hit up for cash. If only they had a snack bar. Hurricane season started in June and all the local TV stations tout their shows on preparing for one so often that I get sick of hearing about it. ---

Have you ever been in a hurricane? Really, there cannot be too many warnings about it. What should they say “It might maybe rain today?” My new shoes are so comfortable. ---

Yes, and both Hitler and Stalin wore comfortable shoes too! Guess what, that doesn’t make them good people either! I find Craftsman style houses have greater aesthetic appeal than Victorian style houses. ---

Homeless people would be glad to have a roof of any damn design over their heads. Why are you so insensitive to those less fortunate than you? I might go see a movie this weekend.
