That's incredibly cool Todd!

Today, one of the staff at this same IHOP was shot and killed in the kitchen while the restaurant was open. I mean the food wasn't that bad...😲

That sucks. RIP Isiah

I feel warm inside watching that

Hope you've had a great birthday Joachim! Cheers!

Thanks Dusty, and I think you are right about the Sonys because I just found those

I think Doug is correct, and I would be happy to learn who is making a reasonably priced BT headphone. I don't know the budget but I will pass along Steve's suggestion. If Google directed me correctly, Dan, the Sonys are ear buds and she has some already but gets ear infections and wants something over the ear. If that is not what you recommended then let me know.

Resurrecting a random thread rather than starting another. I got asked for a closed headphones recommendation and I am out of it on the current market. She is not an audiophile and doesn't want to spend a ton, noise canceling is ok but not critical, and doesn't want ear buds. Any thoughts?

Wishing you a great birthday and many sequels to come! Cheers!

Have a great birthday Ken! Cheers!

Maybe my last pizza of 2025.

RIP Joe Ely. Saw him at least a couple of times opening for the Kinks and the Clash and I'm guessing elsewhere as well. ☹️ https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2025-12-16/joe-ely-texas-country-rock-legend-collaborator-with-clash-bruce-springsteen-dead-at-78

Alternating subjects continued. I liked American Gods as a bit of a guilty pleasure kind of show, but I'm not sure if we finished it or not.

What the actual fuck? https://people.com/rob-reiner-dead-all-in-the-family-director-8653589 Just watched Spinal Tap II last night and was disappointed. But I didn't do it. ☹️

My plate was almost as decadent

You came across that one back a couple of months ago because I went on a little Guster tear afterwards. 🤓

I knew about street hockey but never knew there was street curling! Did you throw any stones?

We always play the SNZ Christmas album during the holidays.

Just getting in under the wire with these birthday greetings, Todd, but that doesn't mean they're any less sincere! Hope you've had a good day, good food, good drink and good tunes. Cheers!

Happy Birthday Tom and happy listening! Cheers!

I don't know how many decades it has been since I was last in an IHOP, but I ended up without another breakfast option after dropping off my car for service. Damn the food is ridiculously lame! I should have taken a picture of the pathetic shriveled little bacon slices because Grahame would have cried. A bit of scrambled eggs and semi cooked tasteless pancakes topped with cold tasteless butter rounded out the "meal." Yeesh.

^my thoughts exactly, including the parenthetical.

Now we know why you reappeared when you did -- in time for a happy birthday thread! 😂 Hope you and the family are feeling better and can celebrate your big day, Jay! Cheers!

Fuck it. I made a full batch. Cheers Matt!

Hope you're each having a great day, Jeff and Juan! Cheers!
