Celebrating I'm 7 years together with my girlfriend today. We met eachother at the start of our final year of high school and have been together ever since. Housing market's a mess here but hopefully we can find a place together in the coming year and a bit.

Dorothy Hoffner, the Chicago woman who last week made headlines as she became the world's oldest skydiver (at age 104), died Sunday. Hoffner, who began working as an operator at Illinois Bell in 1938, passed away Oct. 8. On October 1, Hoffner took the jump that earned her the world record for oldest person to skydive.

I cannot imagine a celebrity less likely to be picked by the DL Committee than Deryck Whibley. He could have a time bomb surgically grafted to his head with the time set for "January 1, 00:01" and they'd still pick Bill Beaumont instead.

Just had to Google him to understand why I have never heard of him

So when Rose West was being described as dying, or close to death, or terminally ill (I can't recall), it was actually a warning to her because she was becoming dangerously fat: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rose-wests-bizarre-prison-life-29995261 "In February 2019, news was shared that West ballooned to 18 stone and was considered "dangerously overweight". She was told that if she didn't lose weight she could face an early death, so she opted to go on a ketogenic diet in a bid to lose excess fat, according to reports. West's weight spiralled as she lived off a diet of cake, crisps and chocolate, but she had to ditch the sugary treats for more nutritious foods such as fish, salads and vegetables. Medics said West sufferers from high blood pressure and risked developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes. "West has been told on a number of occasions that she is dangerously overweight," one jail source told The Daily Star. "She has opted to go on the keto diet, which promises rapid weight loss quickly if you stick strictly to the rules. "She is so heavy that she is often out of breath and sometimes has to have help getting off the toilet." West's new diet saw her consume only 20g of carbohydrates a day and she was told not to consume more than 1,500 calories daily."

Steve Scalise lined up to replace McCarthy

He was one of my Scavvy Hunt picks. For a long time I only needed an Olympian to win.

At this rate Jimmy Carter will outlive Biden.

When I Need You ("you" being a doctor)

I will tell you what the juice is - it's the blood of the sacrificed children.

Discharged and feeling well.

Rotten week to be an Alifixed it for you.

I downloaded all his stuff (over 30 albums) from Bit Torrent over a year ago. I might have to delete it due to running out of space on my hard drive. I twice booked tickets to see him live - both concerts were cancelled, first one due to him having a pacemaker fitted, second one due to bad ticket sales because people were pissed off he'd cancelled the first one. However the waddling pug-nosed rug-topped poof does come up with some good soundbites every now and then, so I'm in no particular hurry to see his demise.
