So for anyone interested, if you get arrested for weed in Idaho you WILL spend at least two weeks locked up before talking to a Public Defender. (I was pretty surprised that Mom didn’t write a check, but she’s always been very firm about not bailing anyone out.) The mom, Jackie, still lives with Mom (at almost 62 years old) and usually throws a fit when told no but is also kinda pissed off at her daughter. Jackie is a convicted felon (pot and meth) and thinks that her daughter should know better than to talk to the police. Oh well, not my circus. I’m just enjoying the schadenfreude from afar. It was very damp today with bouts of hard rain. I think I am going to have another Handmaid uniform made, some of the seams in my current one are showing stress and it wasn’t made to be worn at least once a week for years. OK, not years, only a year anna half, but you know… > [@swampbear](#): > > WH at ten a.m. is very different from WH at three a.m. Remembers that very early morning at WH when I followed a rather festive woman to the restroom. She made it to the stall and puked into the toilet. Then she came back to her table and finished eating her food. I always wondered if she washed her hands afterwards. 🤮 > [@Paintcharge](#): > > In house we call it “Peach cobble” See, I was wondering why that name had gotten lost/forgotten. You have a working name, why change things? Did you get paid for you time or do you just love the job that much? > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > The Golden Corral provided ample calories today I do miss GC. We used to visit the one in Prescott Valley and saw so many entertaining folks. And kids being allowed to stick their hands in the chocolate fountain. 🤮 > [@dogbutler](#): > > 🍾 🎂 🥳_ **HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPIKE!!!** _ 🥳 🎂 🍾 Stealing this because I’m too lazy to code it myself. Yes, Happy Birthday Spike. I’m glad you survived to be an adult. (I was a kid once, thinking back on it, I’m amazed I survived the experience.) > [@bob\_2](#): > > I am surprised you didn’t just get your gun and blow it to hell! I would have used a ladder and a hammer but I have no respect for malfunctioning alarms no matter who owns them. > [@bob\_2](#): > > Apparently they like robins as substitute parents and get rid of any other chicks. I have read about them and at first I thought that was horrible, but they are part of nature and have their own place. We have cowbirds here but they don’t kill the other chicks unless their own egg has been moved or broken. Then they break all of the eggs/kill the chicks and tear up the nest. Despite their parasitic behavior, they do care for their chicks from afar. > [@LSLGuy](#): > > . Leading to a full glass being carried while tipped a bit too far and liquid sloshing out, Hubs spills coffee on the kitchen floor almost daily. Not a lot, just a few drips that he doesn’t even notice. I notice, it is white tile! I once and once only spilled liquid on my needlepoint. I have been using adult sippy cups so long that open glasses always make me pay attention. > [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > I thought about steel-cut oats with salt and a tablespoon of heavy cream, That sounds like tomorrow’s breakfast, thanks for the idea! > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Awoke to the low rumble of tunderboomers, the gentle pitter-patter of rain … and the sound of one determined bird chirping his fool head off despite the weather. Do you have frogs cheeping at night? We do here and I thought they were weird crickets for almost a year. I hope your night went well and that you made lots of tips! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-the-heat-is-on-a-heat-wave-mmp/1030168)._
