What has made you smile today 2025

I started getting videos of a food truck from the uk that sells baked potatoes with different toppings on them, they are very wholesome and make me crave potatoes with beans and cheese.

Viva la commonwealth

Not sure WHY it makes me smile… Once a month, we have a mobile pet groomer come out to take care of a mutt, (Yorkshire/Jack Terrier), and a pure bred HEAVY Cairn Terrier. A Toto from Wizard of Oz.

She had a Ford F550 van. When she backs up the van goes, beep, beep, beeb. The mutt jumps up on the ma’s lap and shivers. HATES baths.

Am I bent? Narcissistic? Sadistic? Hopefully, I’m sadistic. Whatever. As my dad said, entertainment at another’s expense is a great value!

Just as I suspected! Our Cairn Terrier (Gus. Love Breaking Bad) is brindle. More on the lighter brown side. Dog is dumb as a rock! I often tell the wife his intelligence is artificial.

When the groomer let her in after his bath I was proven right. He’s a blond!

22 NEW Betas from Wonder Flavors. I don’t know how many will make the cut, but DAMN, a LOT of these smell GREAT !!! Also, there are some VERY interesting pairings that I don’t think anyone else has ever done.

I think I may have posted something about this before, but this video is funny as hell!!! Before you watch this video, please note that my eldest great grand daughter used to come visit us for a couple weeks on summer break. We’d ride down this REAL steep road at breakneck speeds, hurtling towards our deaths. First time down, I let her be ahead of me and she yelled something that I didn’t hear, them came to a stop.

I hit this massive pot hole. She says, “Didn’t you hear me yell dip?” No.,.. Since then I’ve called her dip. She called last summer to tell us of her engagement. After a bit of back and forth, I said, hey! If you’re Dip, when you’re married, I’ll call Nate (her fiance) shit, and you’ll be a couple dip-shits.

Found this video and had to share it with her. Whoever came up with this shit is truly genius!

Exactly who is Jack Shit?

I’m not 100% sure this made me smile, but it’s fascinating that they COULD do this (they did), but SHOULD they have. You decide.

Should scientists take sometimes ancient DNA and use it to “de-extinct” extinct animals ??

  • Hellz Yes, bring them all back !!!
  • Maybe, but only the CUTE ones
  • Hell NO, remember Jurassic Park

As is often the case, man makes animals extinct. 10,000 years ago? We didn’t know that word! Should we bring them back? To what end? Shall we bring back just enough to place in all the zoo’s in the world? That have room, or can afford to make room?

What if we over calculate by a few hundred thousand? We gonna release them in Yellowstone? Why did they become extinct in the 1st place? Did their primary food source go extinct? Did their primary predator overwhelm them?

We don’t know jack shit!

So, what made me smile today? Once again, and not surprisingly, ME! As I often do, I make me smile.

Husband and wife team own a small lawn care business. Been through a half dozen before I met these two. Had them for a few years now. They come out Thursdays at exactly 10:00 am.

This past Tuesday the husband sent me a text, completely out of the blue. Told me how much he appreciates me as a customer. Said, most of his customers ask him to do “extra work”. Cut down a tree, till their garden and don’t offer to pay extra for the extra time.

He comes here and sets aside an extra 10 minutes, so I can tell him a really dirty little johnny jokes. Then we talk about family, life, personal triumphs and challenges… When I need something extra done, I hand him cash. I don’t ask what he wants, I hand him what I know to be a very fair amount.

Says most of his customers bitch and complain. I’ve seen his work for several years now, and I see nothing to complain about. I think most of his customers think he’s an illegal alien. I’m not so presumptuous. He has a license number on his trailer. I checked. He’s licensed, bonded and insured.

Is he as expensive as white people companies? No, but not by much on average. He’s a savvy business man. How did that make me smile? Obviously HE made my day, but my daddy always told me, entertainment at another’s expense is a great value. This is where I made me smile. And his wife very afraid. And a neighbor disappointed.

Came today at 10:00 am. as usual. I’m generally in my garage smoking a cigar and sucking coffee, so I hit him up when he’s in my back yard. His wife will be out front at the time. THIS time, I went out front as soon as he got here.

Went out the front door, slammed it shut and said something to the effect, “You! Yeah, you! You lazy mother fucking, low-down piece of shit! I ask you to due some tiny little extra work, and you want more money. What I DO pay you for, you fuck up, you fuck up everything I don’t pay you for, and you have NO respect for my hard earned money!”

His wife’s mouth is on the ground, she’s pale as a ghost, heading back to his truck in fear… Neighbor is looking on, hoping this guy will kick my ass, when we bust out laughing, do the chest bump and share a bit hug. He hollers at his wife to explain the context, but I’m a good actor and she’s having none of it.

Neighbor is dejected.

He did show her the text and she reluctantly agreed to a “maybe”. I gave her a big tight squeeze of a hug telling her how much I loved them both.

Ya know, it’s one thing to make myself laugh, and something else entirely to make someone else smile in 2025.
