Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

When I think about it, nothing on this machine needs Windows. I was about to say I still need Windows to run Quickbooks and MS Money, but I wasn't able to get Money to work reliably before ultimately crashing and I wasn't able to get my version of Quickbooks to work at all on Win11. So I still drag out the senile Win7 box for my bookkeeping and hope it doesn't break seriously. Ever.
 
A few months back I learned that "Patience" is an alternate name for "Solitaire" and boy howdy, is that an accurate name. The number of times I'll be setting up a run of cards and I'll see a card I need and go "Oh! I'll just play it now instead," only to realize I've screwed up the entire rest of the game. Did it just now on the computer and lost so I undid everything back to the first run through the deck and played it the way I'd been planning and sure enough, I would've won if I'd done it that way.
 
I like superhero movies and I want them to make enjoyable Superman movies. That said if, for some reason, I was allowed to decide 2 things for the Superman franchise, I would unhesitatingly gender-swap Jimmy Olsen. And I would make Perry annoyed that she calls him "Daddy," not "Chief."
 
MovieSphere Gold has shown "Dirty Dancing" enough times that they can move on to something else. Especially with their odd version that edits out anything remotely sensitive and stick commercial breaks in at the weirdest, stupidest spots. There'll be a fade to black scene change and they'll go to the next scene. Then they'll cut to a commercial right in the middle of a scene.
 
Do I dare to stop running down Disney? Do I dare to hope? Apparently they've done a new episode of "The Muppet Show." And it is perfect. And I've only been vaguely aware of Sabrina Carpenter but now I love her:
 
I just let my Insta stories run muted for a loooooong time, just to clear out everyone's Valentine's Day crap so I don't have to see it.

WHO ME? BITTER?

Huh. For some reason that makes me think about the purpose (and value) of a wake: It gets the grieving process going. And does it in a healing way. When my dog died 5 years ago I was devastated for a very long time. Eventually I started to get worried about if this was normal and it turns out it is--in a way. A lot of the time people don't grieve properly and it is all dammed up inside. Then something like the death of a dog just breaks the barriers and you not only grieve for the dog, you grieve for everyone that you didn't grieve properly at the time. That almost certainly happened with me (among other things). A wake is a way to break down the emotional barriers and allow the grieving process to happen instead of just getting bottled up and repressed. And at the risk of putting words into your mouth, some of the exhaustion is the good exhaustion of coming to terms with losing someone.

My dressy boots wore out so I got new pairs, brown and black. Same brand from the same company. They came with little bags to store them in so they don't get scuffed. To make it so I didn't have to look in the bags each time to find the pair I wanted to wear, I took a marker and wrote "B" (for "brown") on the bags for the brown shoes.

This is giving, "And now derp thoughts" with Jack Handy vibes.
 
Regarding today's episode of Charlie's Angels, I noticed that Sabrina Duncan has an old school corded phone handset in her snazzy orange 1976 Ford Pinto, and Bosley has a red desk phone in his office with the same white corded earscoop attached to it. Also, no one in this show can drive worth a shit, even 1970s land yachts didn't spontaneously explode when they crash through a guard rail, etc. Okay, maybe the Pinto would have, that might have been realistic.

A high dollar production this is not.

Dude, CA was like Wonder Woman; no one over the age of 10 watched that stuff for the detailed plots.
