  • 03:49:08: i’m watching an episode of #Wings just to see #TonyShalhoub before he played #Monk
  • 04:00:20: that’s enuf of that
  • 04:02:24: wow, a #Bayer ad actually has a dope who doesnt know #aspirin is a pain-reliever, even tho it’s been around for centuries
  • 10:53:39: crap, slept thru breakfast!
  • 11:48:36: compassion, fair fighting, shame tolerance: expert on @HLNTV says are keys to good relationships. she just made them up
  • 11:49:11: i absolutely despise @zoosk commercials
  • 11:51:03: the reasons they say Borders is filing for bankruptcy would also apply to Barnes & Noble, who isnt
  • 11:51:51: i go to 2 Borders Books, i hope neither of them close
  • 11:54:39: “experts” constantly give relationship advice but they just report stuff that pops into their mind, they dont do science to verify it
  • 11:57:54: now that the polite robber has been arrested, who gonna feed those kids?
  • 12:08:57: tons of cities are named something like #Oakwood and #Beechwood. isnt that redundant?
  • 12:10:33: the #Cleveland suburb #Beachwood deliberately misspelled it. i couldnt live there just because of that
  • 12:30:45: @hyattch i had a cousin that lived there his whole life. but in the bigger picture, i have no idea why i know what i know!
  • 12:34:13: i’m using the McAfee that came w/my computer but i cant find how to tell it not to scan my external drives, or always ask b4 quarantining
  • 12:37:43: @hyattch i’ve only visited for a day or 2 at a time. my cousin wasnt more than 10miles from it his last 10 yrs of life!
  • 12:50:29: i go shopping just to get out of the house, & mostly on sunday cuz there is absolutely nothing on tv for me all day
  • 12:52:07: i forget now how i decided that i realised i was an #atheist in #February 1972 but that’s when i celebrate my #deconversion
  • 12:53:32: so this month marks 39yrs as an #atheist, 39yrs an unbeliever, 39yrs since i’ve been to church, 39yrs an amateur #scientist
  • 12:56:19: i was never very religious so my first 2 decades are just the time before i was an #atheist
  • 12:57:23: tho i did win a prize from #sundayschool as the “most promising student” when i was 11
  • 12:57:56: @dazzleeyes thanx! paaardeee!
  • 13:00:13: the terminology i decided upon 39yrs ago was that i didnt “become” an #atheist, i just realized i was one
  • 13:01:35: i met #MadalynMurrayOHair several times #atheist
  • 13:02:59: Madalyn capitalized #Atheist, refused to capitalize religions like #catholic or #methodist, so i still have tendencies to do that too
  • 13:04:36: the woman in the USPS priority mail envelopes commercial is a goddess! “you, me, genius!” you, hot!
  • 13:07:59: so my lupus neighbor called me yest & asked me to bring her a #BigMac after my #McD breakfast today
  • 13:09:18: but today 1. she called to say she wasnt feeling good, skip the #BigMac and B. i overslept–she called before i was even up!
  • 13:10:57: so i havent even got dressed yet today, i’m sitting with my cats. then neighbor Angie called & said #BigMac is back on!
  • 13:12:43: Angie’s feeling bad was caused by a little too much #WildIrishRose!
  • 13:13:07: so i need to get up and get to @McDonalds
  • 13:14:46: the amount of “expert” opinion being given out these days w/absolutely no research is bugging me a lot lately
  • 13:16:44: nothing Dr Phil or Tony Robbins or Dr Oz says has any research behind it
  • 13:17:51: #googlevoice is pretty cool. i can actually download and save #voicemails
  • 13:51:44: @Aspentroll i've lost several friends cuz of my unreligiousness, but i would characterize it as mostly positive
  • 13:54:47: getting my car washed before @McDonalds. my car is filthy!
  • 14:07:46: big macs to go! (@ McDonald's) http://4sq.com/gVAuhD
  • 16:37:38: watched 1-1/2 eps of the Sopranos w/Angie, now i'm shopping in Wilmington
  • 16:44:22: I'm at Staples (1101-1147 Rombach Ave, Wilmington) http://4sq.com/hO2u01
  • 16:58:55: at Staples found a "cabinet pack", 18 canary yellow super-sticky post it pads, clearance for 16.50
  • 17:00:25: but it only scanned at 50cents! i pointed out that that was too much of a bargain! i'm disgustingly honest :-(
  • 17:01:51: so he didnt know what to do, decided to charge me 50c per pad=$9. i still got a phenom bargain, but i couldve got an even bigger one
  • 17:06:08: I'm at Big Lots (rombach ave, Wilmington) http://4sq.com/eCvKxW
  • 17:08:09: that cab pack had been $36. it probably really was marked down to 50cents. i shouldnt argue w/the scanner...when it's in my favor
  • 17:15:53: so essentially i told the store to charge me more cuz the price they wanted to charge me was "unrealistic"
  • 19:51:57: i forgot to checkin, but i stopped at Wilmington’s @McDonalds for ice cream & ran into an alumni from my local McD, as i’d hoped
  • 19:55:54: @Aspentroll well, they obviously werent, but i still miss them, some for more than 3 decades
  • 20:01:36: @Aspentroll i got in the habit of calling it “ethics” rather than “morals” just cuz xians & conservatives have charged that words so much
  • 20:03:51: @Aspentroll wow! i’ve been thinking i was the oldest! u may be the oldest tweeter of all!
  • 20:06:13: @Aspentroll i was raised christian scientist, an oxymoron if there ever was one! & they regret not raising me to be more religious
  • 20:08:07: @Aspentroll but in the long run, they accept me & my sibs the way we are. my bro is “born again”, my sis is apathetic
  • 20:09:24: my parents have 2 sons, 1 (me) is a long-time #atheist, the other is “born again” fundie xian
  • 20:11:06: so the friend at McD & i had a good gab until we started talking politix, then he got angry, & even made some personal knocks on me
  • 20:11:57: but that’s ok, that’s what happens, i’ll still talk to him if he’ll talk to me
  • 20:14:57: RT @AtheistQOTD: "People are walking away from Christianity because it has become unpleasant and authoritarian."
    Terry Sanderson
  • 20:22:49: RT @RosaRubicondior: Stories from the #Bible. Joseph had to take his family to Bethlehem for a 'census'. The Romans forgot to record thi ...
  • 20:37:02: i uninstalled the McAfee virus protection that came w/my new puta cuz i could configure it to my liking
  • 20:38:37: i couldnt tell it to not scan my ext hard drives, or never to quarantine anything without asking, or to ignore some programs
  • 20:45:13: RT @Larken: The award for underwhelming performance of the night goes to @Miranda_Lambert; that was boring, even for country. #Grammys
  • 20:46:48: @SagDec15 @StolenBliss i always liked the cupcakes!
  • 20:50:19: “@pribbibility: AND I just got my 1800th follower!” just a minute ago both ur followers & followees were round numbers! how’d u do that?
  • 22:50:47: just got a quick call from my mom. she said the minute she called she had to go to the bathroom
