08/01 - Surreptitious Saturday

And the Phils. They're also good folks

 

Pretty much just have to make an effort to wash your hands if you go out somewhere. If it's grocery shopping, bring your stuff in, wipe down the stuff that goes in the fridge or freezer, and don't use anything else you bought that day. Wash your hands after doing so. It's not hard, but ya gotta get into the habit PDQ. It's second nature to me having dated/been engaged to an RN for 8 years, then after we split working in the same hospital she and her sister did passing patient meal carts and working the cafeteria grill. Wash, decontaminate, wash. Like you're an OCD raccoon on cocaine.

 

I am . Not nearly as bad as when I was a teen/early 20s. Doing my best to not get back into compulsion loops that made life kinda suck a bit. The covid stuff fucks with me a bit though.

Wilford Brimley, an actor and a Quaker Oats pitchman, dies at 85

 

I forgot it was Saturday night. I was kinda expecting @huga kingz to show up and make the new daily thread.

 

Someone get him to the pool, ASAP.

 

Someone get him to the pool, ASAP.

But for real, in about 1990-1992 (can't remember what year) I got to march behind him with my Cub Scouts in our 4th of July parade with him. He was a big, but quiet and low-key member of the local equestrian club in Oakdale and Modesto, CA. Got to meet him and Ernie Irvan and sit on his horse and in Ernie's car. First two celebs I got to meet. Now I need to go digging through pics to see if my dad kept them.

Now that I've done some research, it was in 1992 after Ernie won the Daytona. He was from Salinas, just a few miles down the road from Modesto and Oakdale.

 

What theme did you have in mind?

 

if it took that long for you to do the hit, how is your time under 5 minutes?

 

They're new. They probably are gonna get a rejection by thinking pausing the time, then submitting with just their ID, then completing it would work thinking MTS/TVJS has anything to do with mTurk. It *might* on the requester's end (I've done it three times, a long Empirical Jury, a Noah Turk 52 picture foot pic, and a $50 {plus 2 free shirts} screen recording for some installment pay program) where my internet was like .5Mb/S at the time.

They might get lucky, but it'll be a hard lesson if they can't afford the rejection. And will hopefully learn not to work for $3/hr.

 

Can I give it a shot? I just got my addicted trophy, so might as well. @TissueHime Or have you already started?
