My brother is super pissed. SUPER pissed. My sister set my mom's celebration for September 12. My brother, who was coming up for the July 4 weekend, wanted it to be then. My sister knew that several key people were not going to be available then so she couldn't do that. I'm going to be gone most of July and the minister was unavailable most of August. So September it is.

My brother is super pissed because everything is always about him and she's obviously doing it to inconvenience him. The kicker? One of the things he said in his text to her was that "that piece of trash has had three funerals and you want to wait until September?"

What piece of trash? Did he mean me, who has been to several lately, all at graveside? Nope. He mean GEORGE FUCKING FLOYD! You know, the black guy who was murdered in Minneapolis? What does George Floyd have to do with my mom's funeral? Not a god damned thing to anyone except my Fox News, Trump-loving, racist brother. He said he won't be there. I say that's perfectly fine with me.

I had already assumed in the first paragraph that your sister has probably had it with him, too.

My sister is and always has been a very middle of the road, don't upset anyone kind of person. She frankly doesn't get racism or hatred. And she doesn't understand my brother at all. She's trying to please everyone and unless it's about him it's impossible.

I told her I'd call him if she wanted, but it wouldn't have a happy ending. She declined.

According to what people have been saying, apparently Claire makes 20k per episode. Forgetting the contrast with minority chefs on the channel, that seems like a crazy amount of money. I never would've guessed those videos were that lucrative.

Also, props to her for stopping videos until this is resolved. Thats a lot to give up.

No, she's the older sister by far and vastly better looking. Like on a galactic scale better looking. Like when you see them together, it's like what the fuck, are you adopted or were you hit by a truck or something, like seriously can we dim the lights over here, you're like, Moe Sizlac ugly.

Omg that’s mean!

My sister said some very ugly things this week and I corrected her. My mother even corrected her too! In typing that will always be there. My mother usually calls me to discuss but doesn’t want to get involved. It was bad enough this week, that my mother actually commented.

I'm a part of my neighborhood's "nextdoor" site. It's mostly old people talking about lost pets or the suspicious man (read: black stranger) walking down the street or driving by. And they HATE my comments.

Today the topic was "natural weed killers". My comment was, "I use a contract weed killer. It's a bit more expensive but they make sure it always looks like an accident."

The responses were less than flattering.

My laptop - the one I use for gigs, VR, & gaming - threw an error when trying to update Windows. It then kept cycling reboot over & over. I researched and found a fix tool directly from Microsoft. Put that on a USB and booted with it. Ran the tool, which repaired the boot record. Booted it up and there were TWO installs of Windows 10 on my computer. Researched THAT and found that I needed to run the tool again (which required me to reload the tool onto the USB). Used repair...and then there were THREE installs. What the fuck, Microsoft?!?

Went in one more time, did some partitioning, ran the tool again to the new partition and was able to get an install that is alone and works. Now I'm going to move all my music and data files onto a portable external HD and then completely reformat the drive as I KNOW those other installs are still there. Watching. Waiting. Judging.

And no, the fix tool did not say it was installing a new copy, tyvm.

I'm also in my "nextdoor," and yeah, it's pretty much all folks over 65 griping about loose dogs (read: Pit bulls) and suspicious vehicles.

Here's some random shit, my great great great great great grandfather was a hero of the revolutionary war.

On our side. An immense traitor to you fellas south of the border. Here's something from his blurb in history that made me laugh.

"Daniel Cole has also been a spy and bearer of despatches this year. His documents are borne in a thin steel or lead box, which is cleverly secreted between the soles of his boot. Before resorting to this method, he had upon one occasion been caught and sentenced to be hanged immediately. The rope was around his neck and the end thrown over the limb of a tree, when he suddenly gave a tremendous spring from his captor's grasp, and he ran, with the rope still round him, more speedily than they, and was able to escape, while shot after shot was leveled after his flying figure. As he later recounted to his fellow scouts, "God Almighty would not let the balls hit me."

My internet is out. CenturyLink says they can’t get out until Thursday. So until then nada. Trying to decide whether I’m going in to the office or taking 4 days of vacation. But here’s the thing. If I take 4 days of vacation I can sit at home and do...what?
