Insurance card MMP

If you use paper car insurance cards (as opposed to an app), just put the new one on top of the old one in the glove compartment; that way if you get pulled over & don’t have the current one, you can show the cop that you’ve had the policy for a while & he’ll be more likely to believe that you have insurance & not write you a ticket for it if/when you get pulled over. I saw it work this weekend.

Before you post, give us some useful advice!

Don’t take any wooden nickles. First! Yes that is somewhat useful advice.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 74 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 97 and a heat index of over a hunnert for the day. Thus this shall be a day inside in the relative comfort of the orifice.

OK that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, alas, 'tis Moanday so irk purtification must commence.

Happy Moanday Y’all!

Pick up dog toys from the ground, so you don’t step on them and break your ankle. You may substitute children’s toys in this recipe.

Also, use self-rising flour in biscuits. Saves some measuring.

Second

Third.

A blurf a day means you need more sleep.

Never wear a red shirt on a landing party.

Up, caffeinated, off to work. It’s supposed to hit 98 today. Still better than snow and 30.

Loosely related to the OP - check your insurance coverage: auto, home, or otherwise. Last year, I was getting quotes from different companies to see if I could do better on my homeowner coverage, and I discovered my current policy had me paying for something ridiculous that I wasn’t aware I had and definitely didn’t need. Really ticked me off!

Same with auto insurance - Geico used to automatically include towing coverage, which would be fine if we didn’t already have AAA. It also included rentals for when your car was being repaired - again, fine if you don’t have a spare vehicle at home already.

So, read your policy and save some money! :smiley:

I went to bed with Mel about 9, but for some idiotic reason, my bladder woke me THREE TIMES in the course of the night. Technically, I got close to 9 hours of sleep. In reality, I only had 4 straight uninterrupted hours, followed by 5 hours of broken slumber. Still, I’m more rested than yesterday, so there’s that.

I’ve got a load of unders in the washer and I just finished breakfast. After I toss the jeans in the washer, I’ll clean the kitchen mess that I left last night, and I’ll pull the pork and stick it in the slow cooker with some BBQ sauce. It’s what for supper! I’ll be running to Leonardtown later to get some buns and to pick up my cholesterol meds. And somewhere along the line, I’ve got to clean the smoker. Yep, it’s Moanday.

Happy Moanday!!

Seventh!
BLURF! Plus it’s rainy and humid, so there’s that.

As for helpful advice? Download a good defragger/optimizer for your computer and use it two or three times a week. Your memory-hogging applications will thank you. I use Clean My Mac. I’ve been using it for six years and I have never been disappointed with the results.

Eighth (unless someone else beats me to it).

Always cut cards 2/3 from the bottom and always hit on 16 (blackjack advice–I still don’t win, but spidey didn’t say it had to be good advice…just useful).

Lazy weekend, bought a new Office chair for my home computer/office space (the old one has lost pressure and settles every time I sit in it). Genuine imiitation leather and all.

Also saw Jurassic World and posted about it in Cafe Society (quick snap: Dinosauas great, plot and acting bleh).

Back to work–like swampy, in the mid-to-high nineties all week, but no rain until Thusday-Friday.

Surely we all know the ultimate good advice: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

:smiley:

And if you can’t identify that, just sit there and feel ashamed. :stuck_out_tongue:

Aren’t we just full of sage advice today!:smiley:

Tonight is men’s night over to the church house. Thus steaks are marinatin’ and beer is chillin’. Always a good time for da bear!

Irk is not too irksome so far. I’ve spent a lot of time catchin’ up on case notes and lookin’ ahead to July appointments and such.

As you wish.

Never draw to an inside straight.

Actually we keep our owners cards and insurance cards in our wallets. Two reasons; less information for the bad guys should the car or bike get stolen and usually the glove compartment and other little pockets inside the car contain firearms. Nothing like telling Mr Cop “Got that right here right under my HANDGUN”. :slight_smile:

We’re usually full of something ----- or other.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

Never cheat a Klingon … unless you’re sure you can get away with it.

Do not take Ann Landers or any other free advice seriously.

When you sell a man a fish, you feed him for one day.
When you teach a man to fish, you lose a steady customer.

Inconceivable!

No - if you teach a man to fish, he’ll sit in his boat all weekend drinking beer!

The dishes are done, the smoker is clean, and the poke is sitting out for a bit to take off the fridge chill. The unders are dry, folded and put away, and it’s clouded over a bit, so I’m keeping my eye to the sky, in case I have to rush out and take all the drying clothes off the lines. Hope not - it wasn’t supposed to rain till later…

I need a break. I’m all sweaty and icky - the short time I was in the garage cleaning the smoker, I felt like I was in a sauna! Have I mentioned how much I hate summer??

Metal Mouse - good answer! :smiley:

ETA: Dammit, Mooooooom!

My legs are sunburned. I’d forgotten how uncomfortable that is, even with lots of chilled aloe, lotion, and Aleve. Anyway, it’s my excuse for working from home and not wearing anything but a t-shirt today.

Of course, the day after I toast myself, it’s chilly and rainy.

I get Botox for migraines on Wednesday, so there’s that. Yay!

That’s what Jesus said after that “Let he who is without sin throw the first stone” debacle.

If you teach a man to fish, you lose a steady customer and the liquor store gains one.

If you have a headache, drink 16 ounces of water. Headaches and dehydration are often linked, and in any case, it will give you something to do while you’re waiting for the headache to go away.

Don’t drink orange juice then immediately brush your teeth.

Get up in the morning determined to find SOMETHING good about the day, even (especially) if you know you will face significant challenges. Find joy in the little things and you will have more strength to face the big things.

Stop and look up. And around. Especially if you’re outside! :smiley:
