The life and times of. Larry The Butcher!

 Short story long:   20 years ago I was almost 300 lb.  When my oldest daughter was 1 I wrecked my back at work, had a ton of chiropractic care and then joined the #StCatharinesOntarioYMCA and went from almost 300 to a hair over 200 in about 5 months.  Then my ex wife ended our marriage and just over 200 became 155!  But that's a different store.   So a year ago my weight was around 255, and I got it down to 235 by walking during my breaks, giving up pop (AGAIN) and limiting my carb intake.     Right now I'm a hair over 220 and I'm pretty much keto, and I fast every other day right now.   I had sleep apnea, and one of the downsides to sleep apnea is that you normally don't get into deep dream state sleep.   Well I'm getting back into deep dream state sleep and man are my dreams getting weird!  I don't remember them like this!  I shared one on a blog post and will share more.  It's interesting that I remember them fair...

 So I've ben dwelling here.   At some point Elon Musk will be the owner of social media platform Twitter.  People on the mid-far to far left of the ideological spectrum hate the idea.  Most people don't care  And most people on the liberty-right love the idea.  And here's the deal that I think will happen.  Social media platforms have really vague terms of use that they can manipulate to suit their narrative.  That's why certain content that wishes no harm on someone gets blocked or taken down and content that decries violence against someone doesn't. The Musk-Twitter will more than likely have well defined terms of service and will be used the same regardless of assumed context. Twitter isn't the number one social media platform and it probably won't be (For some strange reason lately I've missed Google+).  But what it will be is an opportunity for the aforementioned clear and concise terms of service and a wake up call to all the other plat...

  Page over store, " Meat department line 1". Me: Hello Meat department! Customer: Do you have the Butterball turkey beasts? M The frozen ones? I'll take a peek. C: Yeah the ones in the box. M: We have lots. Customer arrives: C: Where are the butterball turkey breasts? M: I take her to them. C: Where are the fresh ones? M: We don't sell fresh butterball turkey cuts. C: I bought them here last week! M: I'm sorry but you didn't buy them here. Customer clenches fists reaches towards me and I move back. C: I bought them here last week! I'm not crazy! You're just treating me like crap! You've ruined Easter. Customer runs away. First time in a while I ruined someone's holiday meal by not having something that I don't sell!

 The world lost my mom on Feb 19.  I am estranged from my family and I am still dealing with it.  Maybe I'll talk about it later.   So here's the dream:   I'm on trial, it's a big one, JURY TRIAL.  And my lawyer resembles Saul Goodman (Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad/whatever they come up with)     Two of my staff who I'm trying to get to improve but they probably think I'm pestering them are there TO DEFEND ME!   My mom is on the Jury.   I keep screaming for a mistrial because my mom is in the jury and in this dream capital punishment comes up!  SO WTF did I do!   And the lawyer keeps saying, "Don't worry we got this, they'll pay you for time served!"   And I keep screaming that my mom is in the Jury how'd she get there, isn't that a misstrial!   And then there's a flash of light and the dream ends.   WTF did I do!

 This is the most anyone has talked about the Oscars and the longest we have talked about the Oscars in a very long time!  My observations.  I replayed a video of, "THE SLAP," at .25 speed.  Yes Will makes contact, but it looks like Chris was too ready for it, like it was definitely expected and maybe even planned.   When Will first heard the joke he laughed at it, until he looked over at his wife.  Who was for some reason offended by it.  I don't know if Chris Rock knew she had her skin condition, but he did know her hair was short!  Now the world knows Jada Smith has alopecia.  If this was planned it was a horrible idea.  The Focus of the Oscars was instantly moved from the winners and the host to this supposed act of violence.  It was a pretty lame ass reaction to his wife's honour if you ask me.  IF that was what Will Smith was doing.  But I would like to ask you this!  What has this bandwidth in newsfeed distract...

 I called to cancel my cable subscription today.  I've dealt with my cable provider at my townhouse and my previous home for almost 20 years. When I called they were happy to see that I was staying with them for internet and that I was breaking the current discount which comes with a cancellation penalty and no more cable.  And the internet bundle package vanishes and that my bill would only be about 20 dollars a month less. Well that's garbage I say.      Why are you cancelling the nice lady on the other end asks? I only watch about 3 hours a month.      How important are those 3 hours? Right now not very but I will miss IndyCar and the Canadian Football League.     I can change your cable plan so you keep your discounts and cable and internet will only be about 5 dollars a month more than cancelling cable and keeping only internet.  And you keep IndyCar and the CFL. You need 30 channels. Five minutes and 30 channels picked I ...
