Zero.... I wouldn't ever have that even if I were a Billionaire and it wasn't in Kommiefornia.
 
So, my arm pillow arrived and I like it. It has a strap so I can carry it around and it supports my arm so my shoulder doesn't hurt. One of the Walmart employees was concerned and asked me how I was doing. I explained that I'm trying to get mobility back and am going to see the doctor soon. I need to make the appointment. I know it's unrealistic to hope that the doctor can just grab it and force it up without causing damage. I got my pulley thing with rope and handles. It's weaker than I'd expected so it doesn't pull very well but I did get my arm higher than usual. I'm thinking of wrapping one end of the rope around my wrist so I don't have to grip to pull it up and see if that helps. Now I know how my boss in Guam was feeling when he came in with his shoulder hurting. He'd been given painkillers and told not to move it (by the doctor). I said that didn't make sense as it needed to move to stay functional. I had been studying massage/physical therapy to help my dad with pain so I asked him if he'd be my guinea pig and let me try something out to see it if helped. So I used light massage to loosen the muscle, applied pressure to specific points, and told him to relax his arm and let me move it. I got it rotating in the socket very slowly and carefully. We didn't have any customers coming in so I worked on his shoulder for about 20min. Afterward he was able to move his arm and said he wished his doctor would do therapy like that and that he pain was almost completely gone. If I could just clone myself and have another me to do the therapy on my own shoulder now.. LOL.

I mentioned I ordered a bed for my friend's daughter. Then I remembered she didn't have a mattress- her incontinent great grandpa ruined it when he was staying over. No box spring needed. I found a memory foam one on sale for $99. Ordered it and it should arrive by Monday.. I'll let my friend pick bedsheets and I sent him the link to a waterproof mattress cover. I'm hoping the kid will pick colors for the bed soon bc I'm looking forward to painting it for her. Will have to bring in a drop cloth so the carpet doesn't get messed up even more. Although, the aforementioned great grandfather also soaked urine through the carpet and carpet pad.
 
Shouldn't it be "Commiefornia"? Not sure where that K came from spicoli. (If Montana was more of a blue state what could we call it...Mao-ntana? I guess we have time to work on it.)

I figure people buy mega mansions less because they want a place to live and more to impress people who are almost but not quite as rich as themselves.

I need to recaulk my shower but I don't know when I'll have time yet. I also need to see if the caulk I already have is okay or if I need to buy some new kind of caulk.
 
Having smashed red potatoes for supper. Boiled some small red potatoes placed them on a baking sheet, mashed them to about a half inch, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with Mrs. Dash Spicy and garlic salt. Baked at 425°F for 25 min.

Crispy, a bit like baked potato peelings

I still have the headlines from the LA Dodgers with Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Maury Wills, and Duke Snyder. It was the 1960 LA Dodgers line up.

I'll just make a point not to commit it to memory.

KInda like Trump's FL estate.

I also tend to judge people by their signatures. If too fancy or purposely illegible I am already biased to a negative impression.
 
Trump has a really cool signature; I don't know if I'd call it fancy. But I recall there are some people I admire who do have very fancy signatures, and some who had very plain ones, so I guess I depart with you there, Eddie; a signature might be interesting or elaborate or dull or whatever but to me it has no bearing on what I think of the person who signed it.
 
I was bored and was doing a publisher's clearing house quiz that involved spots figures. That was when I found out it was Koufax. I don't know jack about sports but I somehow got all the answers right bc at some point I'd heard the names. LOL.

I have a sloppy signature. So did my dad. He had to sign so many documents that he had a stamp with his signature made. The first time he sent his signature in they rejected it and told him to write it more neatly so they could make the stamp. LOL.

Thus far I've taken my allergy meds and my vitamins. The shoulder pillow thing helped when I was sleeping. Its a bit chilly this morning and I'm not quite ready to get up yet.
 
My thought about signatures is that if too cool they think too much of themselves (Trump's a great example). I liked Chuck Yeager's signature.

Eh. Sometimes people change (maybe thought about themselves a lot as teenagers/young adults, then matured out of it but kept the signature), or maybe got an idea for one without spending a lot of time on it, or the signature's cool because the name is cool, or whatever. Some people are just artistic (with an eye for balance, composition, flourish, etc.) and can't help it. Hopefully you have other proxies to go by when judging a person; I don't think signature is very reliable. :D
 
My signature is horrible. It is quick, but certain strokes have yet to be duplicated (that I know of)
 
Usually it works in reverse, I meet a pompous arse and see his signature later. I guess it's just my opinionated observation. It also seems to be more of a male thing. I took a Christmas card from a coworker and enlarged his prominent signature (with a pantograph) to GSA desk pad size and posted it in his office area. That was fun!

All but one Democrat voted to let babies die that are born after an abortion attempt.

Because they are Demonic.

Not surprising since the purpose of an abortion is to terminate an unwanted fetus... but psychotic religics look at things psychotically... the whole law attempt is a show to placate the psychotic religics... Jokementia Bribery would never sign it if it got that far... if the religics don't like USA freedoms, they should move to a psychotic theocracy in the Middle East where their psychotic religions came from and there is little freedom...

You sound a bit psychotic yourself at least as evidenced by your writing skills.
 
I see that Congressman Hank Johnson thinks the Biden documents were planted at his house. That sure sounds like a "Right Wing Conspiracy"... I'm surprised that Pelosi hasn't condemned Johnson's comments.

Johnson is one of my favorites though, since he was against US Marines being on Guam because too many people on the island could make it tip over and capsize. Even Kamala couldn't come up with that weapons grade stupidity.

Then she'd also have to condemn all the blatant lies from all the FAKE NEWS newspapers, TV news, and websites... plus the Secret documents were also found in both Jokementia's Penn VP offices and his garages near his '67 Corvette... and VPs are under different laws, don't have the power to declassify documents like Trump did...
From Trump: "classified documents were located at UPenn's Biden Center: "Why were classified documents stored at Biden’s Chinese-funded think tank? The Justice Department must appoint a special counsel to investigate"
"The New York Post reported last year that University of Pennsylvania received tens of millions of dollars from anonymous Chinese donors after the university announced it would create the Biden Center."
Tucker Carlson "Penn has received more than $50 million from anonymous Chinese donors. Were those donors peering at the classified documents, the national secrets, that Joe Biden had been stashing at the fake think tank that Penn set up for him?"
The NYTimes appears to be terrified that in an instance of turnabout, the now Republican-controlled House will be starting several years long hearings, Jan. 6th style, of all FAKE NEWS, UnConstitutional censoring, and other corruption. In a NYTimes email today, they apparently just finally noticed millions of illegals are streaming across the border. They also lied Jokementia has been making Hurculean efforts to stop that and that invasion is now slowed. They also, shockingly, included an article praising Trump from Trump's former public relations lady! But none of that seemed to be in today's paper edition...
