I checked my LO into a group home back in March, so I guess my watch was technically over at that time. Today however she has passed on.

I just can't believe how quickly it all went. Back in March she was very talkative and had a great appetite. She took a fall in mid March and broke her pelvis. Was in the hospital for about a week and then spent 20 days in rehab. After rehab she was still pretty talkative. I visited a few times in April and May and always assumed she had years left in her.

Then last week I get a text from her nurse saying the oxygen is now at 75%. They put her on an O2 machine to keep it above 90%. I visited her yesterday and she was pretty out of it, but still moving around and what not.

Then today I get a call that her fingertips had turned black and blue, which is a sign that it's getting close. She passed while I was driving there. Crazy thing is that I checked my dad into his own group home yesterday. Can't believe the timing of all this.

There's a lot of sadness now, but I also know it was her time and that she would not have wanted to be living the way she was. Fortunately she did not have long periods of pain. There was no horrible suffering or dehydration. She died late stage 6, early stage 7. She never forgot about me or my dad. We visited her last week and after we left she actually told the caregiver that she was happy to see both of us.

I'll start

Power Station!!

Remember those guys?? Get it on! Bang a gong! LOL

Are the tomatoes sliced by the employees or are the delivered pre-sliced frozen or something?

With LIV coming to an end and no clear path back to the PGA Tour, it looks like phil's days of serious competition golf is over.

​

And now with this lingering assault case, its likely that Grant Horvat will be putting some space between them...which means no more collab videos and other YouTube get togethers. Nobody in the YouTube golf community is going to be teeing it up with Phil anytime soon.

​

Sprinkle in these family health issues that he's supposedly dealing with and I'd say that's just about the end of it for Phil.

​

I suppose there's the Champions Tour (if thats even an option), but with the assault case there's a misconduct issue that might prevent him from going that route.

​

And what becomes of his For Wellness company? Its gonna tank. Its already struggling, right? Will Grant back out of it?

I was on Reddit earlier tonight and read a story about how Totino's Party Pizza brought someone to tears.

I couldn't resist the urge to try this for myself.

I went to the store looking for Totino's. It was on sale: 2 pizzas for $4. There was several options, but I choose 2 pepperoni and 2 supreme.

I'm eating the supreme right now.

I'll admit they had me fooled for some time. These people and their smiling faces walking through parks with dogs wagging their tails. It all seemed so real.

Then I noticed a dog in one of the commercials with a wagging tail that just didn't look right. So I started watching these commercials a little closer.

Indeed, all of them are AI. None of the people are real and neither are their dogs.

Check out commercials for these drugs on youtube.

I even found one for dog medicine with a fake dog.

Some time ago I was scrolling through reddit and saw that someone posted a photo of a large rock that looked just like a ninja turtle. It had the round top head, big cheeks and even a crack through the middle that looked like a mouth. So I clicked on the community to see what it's all about.

The community is r/whatsthisrock

After scrolling through the comments I decided to say "I'm not sure what type of rock this is, but that's definitely Michelangelo". It got a lot of upvotes because obviously I wasn't the only one who noticed this.

The next day I get a message: "You have been permanently banned from whatsthisrock."

I message the mods and explain that I was just scrolling through reddit and saw the ninja turtle, so I decided to say something. I asked for the unban and told them it won't happen again.

These mods then start talking with each other about this. "Well, what do you guys think about this? He's asking for an unban." One of the mods says, "He seems pretty sincere about the whole thing and is being polite about it, so I guess it's okay to unban if you want to." Guy says, "Okay fine. Unban."

He unbans me.

A few months later I'm scrolling through reddit and this guy posted a photo of a huge piece of petrified wood. The think is massive. It's like 4 feet long and 12" wide. The OP says something like this, "This belonged to my grandmother. She's had it her whole life and put it in her garden when she moved to Tennessee"

Someone asks, "How did your grandmother bring this thing around with her?? It's probably 300 pounds!"

I commented: "She found it as a child when it was still wood."

This got like 700 upvotes. People were cracking up at it.

A few days later I get a message: "You have been permanently banned from whatsthisrock. You have also been muted."

I honestly didn't even realize what sub it was. I just saw the rock and decided to make a funny comment. I scrolled though the thread and saw that the mods not only deleted my comment, but they also deleted dozens of other comments that were in violation.

The rule states: "All comments must pertain specifically to the identification of the rock."

I have no way of resolving this. The mods over at whatsthisrock obviously take this subject very seriously.

One day it occurred to me that my friend and I should have a secret password that only her and I know.

So the next time i saw her i told her that I needed her to remember a secret password. She's like, "Why?". I said "I don't know, but we may need to use it someday."

I told her the password.

A few years have passed since then. I will occasionally ask her what the secret password is. She remembers every time.

I recently stated that I know a higher-up at MGM who has been with them for over 30 years. He was on property during the shooting. I don't want to give up too much information about his job and what he does. I saw him today and mentioned that we're coming up on 9 years since the shooting.

Asked him if there's any info he's willing to share about it. He told me some stuff. I mentioned that they never figured out a motive for the shooting. He just said that the guy was crazy.

The 2017 Life Is Beautiful festival was downtown on September 22-24 behind the Ogden. Paddock has reserved a condo several months in advance on the top floor of the Ogden directly facing the festival. This is already public knowledge and it should be noted that Paddock had a history of renting rooms at various hotels in the US overlooking large events such as Lollapalooza. What isn't public however, is that when he came to check in at the Ogden, they had given the room to another party. They moved Paddock to a room facing south on the other side of the building. Because of this he changed plans and rented the suites at Mandalay overlooking the Route 91 festival instead. The front desk at the Ogden had inadvertently saved hundreds of people from certain death just by moving his room. It's safe to say that Paddock had been contemplating this stuff for years prior to the Route 91 Festival and that the Life Is Beautiful Festival was probably the original target when he made the decision to do this.

After authorities were done with their investigation at Mandalay, the hotel walled off the entire wing of rooms on the floor where Paddock committed the crime. There's 30+ rooms in that wing that were completely walled off. This was to prevent YouTuber's, streamers and anyone else from going up there from poking around and filming in front of the doors to the suites. It was walled off for several years until they decided to open it up again. At the end of the wing however where the suites are located, they walled them off. So if you walk down that wing you will eventually get to a wall where the suites are located on the other side never to be opened again.

Before they walled it off, they sent a group in there to removed everything in the suites. Before removing it though, they were required to break it all down into 1" pieces. This included the beds, chairs, TV's, furniture, rugs and anything else. The broke everything down, bagged it up and brought it to a remote location where it was burned.

I asked him if the hotel was trying to cover up anything. He said nothing was being covered up. The only thing the hotel did was make everyone in security sign a non-disclosure statement that they couldn't say anything about the event or what they saw on security footage.

This is perhaps all a bit underwhelming for you guys because it's mostly information that you already know about. Which is kind of the point of me posting this. There's gobs of conspiracy theories out there perpetuated by YouTuber's and others. Some of these people have been permanently banned from all MGM properties world-wide.

In my mind the smoke has fully cleared now. Paddock was just a lunatic, high roller who had been fantasizing about this for years. He acted alone at the lowest moments of his life and went through with it.
