Our wings are not tired.

As a kid we only had NBC as a local station, so there wasn't any changing channels.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was trying to think if I even know where the buttons ARE on my current TV, and then I realized "changing the channel" isn't a thing I can even do anymore since we only have streaming! (Even our broadcast TV, when we had it, was through YouTubeTV.)

My TV does have buttons but they are cunningly concealed. I think I had to use them to set up a universal remote or something and it was not easy. Pretty much watch everything on my phone these days though

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, I don't think our TV could do anything without a remote.

I pulled my quad muscle and it's really painful! So I took a Vicodin leftover from my carpal tunnel surgery and I took a Flexiril, and it turns out they work together pretty effectively, where "effective" means "makes me stoned." So I am really stoned now and watching Leverage (thank you, TV remote) and eating white cheddar rice cakes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This is how yogurt-ancient I am. [link]

For some reason I started popping out the cardboard disk in the lid and collecting them for a while. I think I liked the way the felt. Maybe my friends and I traded them?

Turns out our sound bar can be operated manually. Thank heavens. I felt like an Ingalls.

OK, this Pintarest will probably be my new happy place as the nation burns. [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My passport is here! Gotta say, I was a little concerned until I got it. What with the *hands* fracking everything going on in this crazy country.

Amusingly, I just got my hair cut today and my passport picture was the same day as my last haircut.

Old-school Dannon. The boysenberry was the best. Such a pretty purple.

I had no idea what you meant when you referred to yogurt in a waxed paper cup, but then the picture brought it all back. I definitely remember that!

The boysenberry was the best.

That sounds really pleasant. I hope you enjoy it. And I hope your muscle heals up nicely or whatever it's supposed to do. Hooray passport!

OK, those yogurts do look familiar but I have no memories associated with them. We probably didn't get them often, my mom doesn't like yogurt. Forerunner of POGs?
