Apologies to all my Vegan friends, but I have to have Ice Cream made from products produced by a cow. the higher the fat content the better! Big fan of real butter too, I use a ton of it, as did my grandmother who had her life cut short at 98 years. if i were not for all that butter she might have made it top 110
I did my part for ice cream for breakfast day. We took our granddaughter out for breakfast at her favorite hangout, a place called October in the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago. Their stuff is all vegan and mostly gf. I had an afagado* with a gluten free blueberry scone.
* their afagado is a cup of espresso with a scoop of dairy free vanilla ice cream, topped with nondairy whipped topping.
It just dawned on me how to become wealthy in, oh, about 25 years. As mechanical industrialization, exurbanization, and processed foods rapidly expanded in this country following WWII, physical fitness plummeted along with an explosion of related medical conditions. In response, starting in the 1970's, highly profitable commercial enterprises that would have been not just unheard of but considered absurd in the previous decades - gyms, diet companies, personal trainers to name a few - began to flourish.
Recognizing that we're already well on the way, In a similar fashion, the MSM, social media, and AI are going to render the vast majority of Americans to the intellectual fitness analogs of Brendan Fraser's character in "The Whale". Some fraction of these people will foggily understand this.
The idea: a chain of Planet Fitness for the Intellect. Instead of circuit training on weights and elliptical machines, you'll circuit train adding single digit numbers, forming sentences that have both a subject and a verb, reading the cooking instructions on a packet of ramen, and so on.
Get in on the ground floor. You'll thank me later.
I don't know about ice cream for breakfast, but in my family, October 10th is Ice Cream for Dinner Day. My brother died on that date in 2005, and his daughter proclaimed it so. When she was young and going through some shit, her father took her out for ice cream at Rumpelstiltskin's in San Francisco. She never forgot, and now none of the rest of us forget, either.
Them's my dogs!!!! Sent the photo after a Robyn request while I was a lurking supporter months ago, now am officially a Wonketeer 😎! Thank you--they are, or were (today happens to be the anniversary of Judy's death at the age of 17), the BEST DOGS IN THE WORLD!!!
Childless Dog guy here. I lost my precious Pearl at the age of 17 back in September She died peacefully in my arms. Hard to talk about it. Swore I wouldn't get another, but then I met Abby and Gabby ,sisters, At 7 months old now they keep me pretty busy
I feel your pain, although I'm more of the get another that needs a home and tell it you don't love it yet but you will and welcome to the household kind. It's too easy NOT to have them, same with cats, don't want to fall out of the habit. Glad you found Abby and Gabby!
She's named for a model from the 1940s, Jinx Falkenburg (doesn't she look like a model lol?). And she has a very cute head tilt when I make certain noises, as I was doing when I took the photo. She's now 12--and a lot hairier!
Idaho is full of ChristoNazis who want the right to indoctrinate their children and also the right to abuse them and withhold medicine from them and let them die. Nice times.
Whenever I drive through it's a tough call about whether to take the short route through Nazi country or the long route through super religious country. No matter what, the quality of the interstate sucks.
WE have a retired game show host, a puppy murderer, an ex-junkie with brain worms, and a mean drunk leading us down the road to perdition, and half of the population is gleefully following along it's a lot to process. Can this be real?
Airplanes falling out of the sky because of "Wokeism"! The fact that supposedly intelligent people believe that is just too weird. Are we sure it's not Witchcraft or Demonic influences. Welcome to the 17th century I fear that the rest of the world is looking at us, shaking their heads and laughing. saying "What happened to those Americans? Is it some sort of collective insanity?"
Ice cream is ok for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Had ice cream after dinner…does that count? Please?!?
snowflakes make for fun sprinkles on your chocolate ice cream!

Just to be sure I don't miss it, I'm having ice cream for breakfast every day this week.

Jimmy, Judy, and Jinx are so fucking cute I can’t stand it. Whoever you are, please hug them for me.
Someday, I hope to create something that gets a review as intriguing as "a real movie that someone made, on purpose."
I'd like to nominate Jimmy, Judy, and Jinx for Cabinet positions. certainly a better choice than the current crop

All three of them are in the size range of a dog I'd like to adopt on retirement. Does Jinx tilt his head like that much?

Waking and baking is a prerequisite to ice cream for breakfast.
I have seen frozen items offered that fill the bill.
Welp. In our depressing morning education news:

Counterpoint to ice cream for breakfast: sausage gumbo with rice.
Have you been talking to my wife?
I have seen that in prairie Cajun country.
I'll take some of each!

It’s real. Things are really gonna get weird.

Damn!! Are we sure it's not the "Brown Acid" Grace warned us about?
Too late.
With a side of K.

Republicans happened.
