Thought of the day


  • Do you watch House of the Dragon? If so, what did you think of the season 2 finale?  

  • Mrs. Shife and I recently watched "The 40-Year-Old Virgin". Besides trying to lose his virginity, the main character was also selling a bunch of his collectible toys to start a new business. He wanted to start a stereo shop. The film was released in 2005 so Mrs. Shife and I were like that is a bad idea, my guy, because we know how the future plays out. Knowing what you know now, what business would you start in 2005? I couldn't think of one solid option. 

  • I have been getting these awesome new ailments called cervicogenic headaches. 
    One thing that has helped is massaging my neck with tennis balls. Unfortunately, the yellow lab I live with thinks this is an invitation to play fetch so Ms. Frizzle is trying to get the balls while I am trying to get some pain relief. I ordered a massage tool and that seems to have done the trick with Frizz. Maybe because the new massage tool looks like truck nuts or a sex toy.

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. 
I will talk to you soon.


I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

  1. Oh, Mr. Shife!
    So sorry about the headaches! That kinda sucks. And that massage thing DOES look suspiciously sex-shopp-y. But if it works....
    And I cackled with the idea of the doggie running after the tennis balls. They are LASER focused on those.

    XOXO

  2. I read the symptoms of CH. Sounds like tons of fun!

  3. Sorry to hear you've been having health issues, but it sounds like you did a good job quarterbacking the issue and coming up with a solution.

  4. Sorry, but I saw cervicogenic and my mind went "cervix?" I've disregarded that chip thing years ago.

  5. Hey, sex toys often have double or triple uses and I will not judge!
    I may have to find some framed quotes for the bathroom now.
    Have a good weekend!

    1. Thanks for your understanding, Bob.

  6. If given a redo on 2005, I would design a game centered around upset birds using slingshots to destroy buildings housing pigs.

    1. It feels like the Angry Birds haven't been in the zeitgeist lately.

  7. Those headaches sound painful and complicated to figure out. I hope the therapy you're doing will be helpful and give you relief. I can certainly see why Ms Frizzle would want to interrupt your sessions; glad she's leaving the new, er, option alone :) Thanks for the memes; the first one made me laugh. The second one is absolutely true and horrifyingly so in my case. I can't think of any business I would start but I can think of plenty I wouldn't :)

  8. A good game to have invented in 2005 surely would have included truck nutz.

  9. I hope I win enough at bingo to pay for my canoe rental and other services. You have my sympathy about the headaches.

  10. After reading the particulars of the CH headaches, I feel for you! Oh, and do the balls help? Tee tee

    I could not put that particular kitchen quote in my bathroom, I’d probably throw up just reading it.

    Maybe the notary didn’t have much business and branched out to laundry, which led to tanning, which led to canoe rentals, and then ~ what they hey ~ let’s throw in bingo. :-D

  11. Bathroom decor: a nice crosstitched 'go big or go home'?

  12. My dog thinks everything is a toy. lol Sorry to hear about the headaches. Hopefully you find some help for them.

  13. I haven't heard of that movie or the tv show. Headaches are no fun. Have you tried a Chiropractor? I think they work wonders. I used to get monthly massages as well, but stopped those about a year ago. Just thought I was spending too much money since insurance doesn't pay for those, but they do pay some on my Chiro visits. LOVE Dolly...she's done so many good things. Lick the bowl.....oh gross.

    1. A chiropractor is on my list if the headaches persist.

  14. Oh, I hate headaches and rarely suffer from them. I've never heard of that type before. (off to Google) Being a nerd, I looked up companies that started in 2005 and I would invest in YouTube, Chobani, and Dave's Killer Bread in that order.

  15. Great memes. And if I find one of these "lick the bowl" pictures, it'll go in the guest bathroom (but probably won't stay for I know my wife and daughter would have something to say about it). I hope your headaches soon go away.

  16. I have never heard of that type of headache before. I swear every year we get older, the ol' body just throws something new at us. Hope the new contraption helps (and Ms. Frizz sticks to her own balls).

    1. Thanks, kden. You are right. Something new and strange every year.

  17. Mixing frames up is hilarious! In 2005, I think I’d jump on some sort of influencer bandwagon.
