When these came out, someone handed one to Papa T-B.  He had heard about them but never touched one before.  He solved it in about 2 minutes and wordlessly handed it back to the someone, understated he man.

My nephew has many different types of Rubik’s cubes and does them sometimes without looking much. In the beginning I was super impressed...now it’s just getting annoying when he shows off like that 🤓

[SAT 9,609]

Played with the cube for a couple hours. Between the kids, the nanny screaming, and 400 unannounced visitors, there's no way I can concentrate. Right now, the dog is barking at my cousin. And they all contributed to a terrible headache...

I think I almost got it licked tho. Just need some peace and quiet...

Man can a guy relax on a Sunday? 

FFS I'm walking the dog, and this guy from the bullet proof vest factory just happens to be driving by. He gets out to talk to me, and he's fing loud! 

FFS I'll right next to you! Why are you screaming??

Then the kids BFF comes to invite her to the feast, of course the nanny, at the top of her lungs, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING??!!" 

I'm like, why are you getting so fing excited? Why don't you STF-U! And listen!

[SAT 9,609]

 

It's I'm surrounded by all uncivilized people in a village. 

 

Then the kids godfather, he's fing loud too! But I think it's because his hearing is going, he fired 1 too many rounds of of an M-1...

It's like no one I know can carry a quiet conversation. And noise is also my biggest peeve. This is my curse, my whole life...

When you get old, you can just turn your hearing aids off when people are irritating you.  This is one of the few benefits of being old.

Your autobiography's title will be "How I Licked Chapped Lips," saga of intrepid persistence man.

Sunday double-rant, grrr man:

 

1.  We had (and eventually subdued) Many (2+2) laundry loads, saga of Sunday survival man.

We go out on errands, reluctantly on a Sunday man.

Mrs. T-B. returns casa-ward in the meantime, return she man.

She cranks the A/C up Many degrees,  she man.

We sweatingly return with armloads of stuff, laden we man.

We have that stuff to put away, obviously man.

We have one load to fold, one to bake, and one to warsher, that's the plan man.

And the casa is freakin' Many degrees downstairs, and Many degrees upstairs, sweat we man.

 

2.  Later, Mrs. T-B. goes out again, exit she man.

We eat breakfast (at Many [2+2+1] p.m.) and attempt an exhausted nap, try to zzz we man.

We are awakened by a thick cloud of hamburger grease, assault nostrils of we man.

Mrs. T-B. stank up the entire casa before turning on the kitchen exhaust fan,  she man.

This with laundry in process, keep from smelling like grease man.

We pointed this out to her, pointed we man.

Mrs. T-B. goes aysheep in response, loco she man.

We vow to call the rubias, ultra-displeased we man.

Nobody has any sense or thinks about important "little" stuff, grrrr man.

Special Sunday ES report, see man:

 

We attended 2 local ESs in hopes of discounts, usually half-off or more on last day of ES man.

The take, see man:

-- flashlight; new can Solarcaine spray; unexpired can of corn; unexpired can of carrots = 

     $Many-&-a-half ($[2+1]-&-a-half), deal man

-- monogrammed bathmat; Many (2+2+2) monogrammed warshcloths; Swingline stapler = 

     $Many ($2x2x2+2+1), somewhat of a ripoff man

Total = $Many ($[2x2x2 + 2+2+2]-&-a-half

It would be a nice feature.  I used to wear headphones when the Troll was younger because his screams were so loud, they left my ears ringing.  

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

I'm finally catching up on my sewing projects, just in late night sewing I've got one shopping bag done, hemmed a pair of yoga pants I made the oldest one, patched 4 pairs of the Dane's pants, and sewed up a pair of underwear for the Troll.  The oldest wants to cut out some more shopping bags to sew.

 

My opinion on durability of pants is that $50 made in America Carhartts are better than the $75 Duluth Firehose made abroad work pants.  The Dane got a rip in the butt of the Duluth ones and refuses to wear them to work, even if I patch them.  They were only a couple of weeks old, too, which is irritating.  The Carhartts I can patch ad nauseam and only wear out wear he pulls them up and the first layer of the knees (after a year or so).
