Where I toot from

A dimly lit, narrow room with bare concrete walls. There is a wooden table with a computer monitor, a red object, and a blue container. A worn red chair is positioned in front of the table.

My oldest friend is still a man of adventure!

We met in 1981!

He lives in Idaho now. This week they drove up to the mountains at about six thousand feet to find some snow for cross country skiing.

He is my age (early 60s) and there is no way my knees or stamina is up to that these days.

A few years after we met, I bought his motorcycle when he got a new one.

He had spent a few summers in Alaska on a fish buying boat.

We went up to Valdez together. Ferry from Bellingham WA to South East Alaska. From there we still had to drive about 1100 miles through the Yukon and then back into Alaska.

At the end of the summer, he rode back all the way, I put mine on a company boat heading back to my home town Port Angeles WA.

Not everyone has friends and family to spend Thanksgiving with. I don't want any of you to feel lonely, so today's Low Quality Ad is for this "Ask Me About Bugs" pin. Ask me any bug-related questions and I will answer them all, keeping you company during the holiday.

Staying in a camper in a junkyard is not conducive to making a traditional Turkey meal.

My late wife used to enjoy the spectacle but we didn’t do it every year.

My jobs also often included working holidays, so no turkey feast is not a big deal for me.

But I do miss the pies!

Please send pics of your pies!

Be safe this holiday weekend

An advertisement warning against marijuana use during Thanksgiving. It features two images: one shows a person smoking, and the other depicts a confrontation. The text advises to remember cranberry sauce but forget marijuana, claiming it can lead to dangerous behavior. The message concludes with Terry killing the friend that gave him marijuana.

I need some

I have maxed out on the number of people I can follow at 7500. How can I sort followers, preferably by active/inactive so I can delete some. Easiest would be on the web, but I have the official app and Ivory on iOS too.

Edit: That was fast! See first reply for the answer, Thanks!

Sure, but when I wear my jizz hat to parties I get called weird

An image features two photos side by side. The left shows a person wearing a hat with a falcon perched on top. The right image depicts a close-up of another person with a falcon on their head, both likely illustrating a humorous concept about falcons having sex with their falcon jizz collecting hat

Star Trek The Animated series scene. 80s style cartoon here, not Pixar. Dr. McCoy, or 'Bones' as he is known amongst friendlies, is sitting at a conference type table, leaning forward and emphatically saying something. Closed caption reads,"INCREASING TIREDNESS, STEADILY DECREASING EFFICIENCY"

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Close up on a bewildered/pained/very out of sorts Riker face. Someone is holding his jaw in place with one hand and in the other is a medical tool or something, with a long pink glowing laser light being shot directly to his temple. No caption.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're "on the D" and in personal quarters with sitcom buddies Data and Worf. Data looks concerned! as he stands next Worf who is very awkwardly holding a cat by its little cat armpits. Worf's hands are huge in comparison and it appears he is not a big fan of cats. Closed caption reads, "Tell him he is a pretty cat."

I borrowed my cousin’s horse for a “quick” trip to Edoras, but now she’s furious because I was gone for two weeks. Do I explain that Rohan was under siege or just let it go? Am I in the wrong here?
