I have caught up on the four episodes shown so far this season. I'm not finding it as funny as I did in the past but nobody is annoying me so I've enjoyed it well enough so far though I had to suppress projectile vomiting when Jane Lynch appeared for a few seconds in a flashback.

I watched the first two episodes (they drop weekly). I want to like it but it's sooooooooooo sloooooooooow

you mean there are people who DON'T use his monologues as an aphrodisiac?!?!? well, I'm a little embarrassed...

NO!

Large on-street garbage bins are set to be installed in hundreds of parking spaces across some of Brooklyn’s most densely populated neighborhoods over the next year, Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday. The rollout continues a pilot program that has over the last two years brought trash containers to streets in parts of Harlem. Residents in the area no longer pile their garbage up on sidewalks, but building supers instead toss their bags in the bins in a change city officials said has reduced rat populations by eliminating a key food source for pests. Sanitation officials said roughly 1,100 of the bins have been deployed in Upper Manhattan. Now, the city plans to add 1,500 more of them in Brooklyn’s Community Board 2, which includes neighborhoods like Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights and Fort Greene. Adams said schools in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill will get the bins as soon as this fall while sanitation officials conduct door-to-door outreach to plan the wider rollout. Officials said the use of the containers in the Brooklyn community board will be mandatory for residential buildings with more than 30 units once they’re installed next year. Landlords of buildings with 10 to 30 units can either request a container to be installed on their street or use city-sanctioned wheeled trash bins to put out their garbage. The “Empire Bins,” which are made in Spain, sit at the curb and are emptied by new $500,000-a-piece garbage trucks purchased by the sanitation department that are equipped with lifts. They can only be opened with special keys held by building supers or sanitation department crews.

https://www.aol.com/7-best-frozen-chicken-pot-140000722.html Best Frozen Chicken Pot Pies Marie Callender’s Chicken Pot Pie Chances are that while you’re reading this, there’s a Marie Callender’s chicken pot pie sitting in your freezer, waiting to be microwaved. Do it! This is the frozen pot pie that everyone points to as the closest thing to the real deal. The single-serve version is around 10 ounces, featuring a golden double crust that flakes when baked in the oven. Inside, there are chunks of white-meat chicken, peas, carrots, and diced potatoes all swimming in a creamy, salty gravy. The filling leans heavily on potatoes sometimes, but it’s still hearty enough to pass as dinner. Family-size versions stretch the same formula to over 40 ounces, though fans say the meat-to-gravy ratio can slip in the bigger pies. Stouffer’s Chicken Pot Pie Maybe Stouffer’s Chicken Pot Pie is the backup plan for when the freezer aisle is out of Marie Callender’s, but it’s still a solid backup. It’s a single-serve, 10-ounce pie with a double crust and the usual mix of chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes in a creamy sauce. The crust can turn chewy instead of flaky, but there’s enough chicken to keep it from feeling skimpy, and the sauce is rich enough to make it filling.

I got it when somebody else posted it. ( @jeezopete ?)

https://www.aol.com/articles/publishers-clearing-house-bankruptcy-means-110005037.html Publishers Clearing House’s bankruptcy means ‘forever’ winners will no longer get paid For nearly 60 years, Publishers Clearing House had been known for changing individuals’ lives, fulfilling their dreams with prize money it promised would keep coming for as long as they lived. But now the company is in bankruptcy, and winners’ dreams have turned into nightmares. ARB Interactive, a mobile gaming company that bought PCH’s remaining assets, said that under the terms of the sales agreement it would not honor payouts for those who won their life-changing prizes before July 15th of this year. Some winners, who thought they’d never have to work again, are now finding themselves uncertain of how they’ll pay their bills “This feels like a nightmare. I thought this was going to go on for the rest of my life, so I didn’t really have to worry about money,” John Wyllie told CNN affiliate KGW. Wyllie, 61, of Bellingham, Washington, had been promised $5,000 a week for life. Now he’s looking for a new job, but he’s not hopeful, since he hasn’t worked for more than 10 years. He is currently living on the proceeds of sales of some of his prized possessions, like a jet ski and a trailer. But Wylie said he had no idea the company was even in trouble until his annual check for $260,000 didn’t show up, as expected, in January. “Why didn’t somebody give me a heads up? ‘Hey, we’re going out of business.’ It’s not a good way to treat anyone,” he said. “Pretty sure I’m going to lose my home.” The bankruptcy is not just upending the finances of people who had been promised continued riches; it’s eroding a part of America’s popular culture. Today, Publishers Clearing House and its prize money seem quaint in comparison to jackpots of more than $1 billion from Powerball and Mega Millions. But the PCH Prize Patrol with their balloons and oversized checks became almost universally known across the county from the 1970s through early 2000s, long before national lotteries and billion-dollar jackpots started grabbing headlines, feeding fantasies of riches. And unlike state lotteries, Publishers Clearing House allowed people to win without buying tickets or even the magazine subscriptions it was hawking. Publishers Clearing House was started by Harold and LuEsther Mertz and their daughter Joyce in the basement of their Long Island home in 1953, selling magazine subscriptions for multiple publications at the same time through direct mailings, according to its bankruptcy filing. PCH would be paid a commission on any subscriptions it sold. In 1967, to attract attention for its mailings, the company started offering its first direct mail sweepstakes. Customers could enter for a chance to win prizes, regardless of whether or not they purchased a magazine subscription.

Just scheduled a shot for Friday evening

It's just the mating ritual of Homo Erectus.

I thought this was gonna be one of those "last person to remain touching the car wins it" contests and I was wondering what the winner was gonna do with the ass once he (or she) won it.

DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, “Chris,” from our teenage days. We’ve been performing music together for decades. We live in different cities but get together every few years. Over the last 20 years, Chris has turned toward a fundamentalist viewpoint on religion. I found it too much to handle and have distanced myself. Recently, Chris contacted me to inform me that his mother had died. I felt sincere about being supportive and helping him get through the loss, so we started performing music together again. It was going well, and he wanted to record one of my songs. When I mentioned I had a demo of it, he asked me for it. I realized too late that the name on the file — “Pagan Christmas” — might be an issue. I received this message back from him a week later: “I like the chord progression but was a bit put off by the title. People I care about also found the title offensive. I’ll do my best to purge it from my memory in the hope that you can present it later with a more inclusive and marketable moniker. I cannot contribute to anything that could be perceived as having anti-Christian bias.” Abby, I’m going back and forth between trying to ignore his message and being angry. Can you advise me on how to handle this situation? — CONTENT CREATOR IN WASHINGTON DEAR CREATOR: Nursing anger is a waste of your time. Apologize to Chris for the oversight. Tell him you didn’t realize the title of the piece might offend him until after you had already hit the “send” button, and then see what kind of a title you can agree upon. If you are unable to reach a compromise, tell him you would prefer that he not use the song. TELL CHRIS TO GO TO HELL DEAR ABBY: I get really annoyed with “friends” who call me only on their speakerphones when driving, or while shopping or running errands in stores. I don’t do this to them. It makes me feel like an afterthought. What should I tell them? — UNCALLED FOR IN COLORADO DEAR UNCALLED FOR: Try this: Tell them to call you when they get home and are not distracted GO TO HELL. DEAR ABBY: As a baby boomer and an amateur genealogist, I am continually frustrated by the lack of interest my grandchildren’s generation seems to have in learning about their family history — particularly mine. Rather than ask about what life was like when I grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, they seem fixated on their own lives and show little interest in anyone or anything else. When I was their age, I was mesmerized by stories my grandparents shared with me about their lives at the turn of the 20th century. I’m deeply concerned that my grandkids will never be able to pass down these stories that I’d love to share with them — stories that hold great meaning about the lives of their predecessors. Do you have any suggestions about how I can encourage their interest in this important area? — HISTORIAN IN TEXAS DEAR HISTORIAN OLD GAS BAG: You probably can’t do that unless they wake up when they are older and start asking you to record oral family histories. However, because you would like these stories passed down, start writing them in diaries and journals to be read at a later date, perhaps after you are gone. If your family isn’t interested in them, local or state historical societies may be very interested in having them, along with any photographs you might be willing to share YOU ARE WEALTHY AND CAN THREATEN TO WITHOLD THEIR INHERITANCES. Dear Abby: My co-workers hate me and I don’t know why BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE?

Kurtz's 493 foot grand slam put an exclamation point on tonight's 11-5 A's win over the Reds. Doesn't any team want the third NL wildcard? NY, SF, CIN keep losing. Meanwhile, Tex & Cleveland have risen from the dead multiple times and Houston, Sea, & even Boston if the Yankees sweep could still be knocked out of the postseason altogether if the zombie teams keep winning.
