And 2 8-hour Tylenol seem to work better for my pains than 2 12-hour Aleve. And I basically trade stomach complications for potential liver damage. *shrug* But Tylenol seems to work so well...

Not sure where to post this but might as well post it here:
Does anyone know of any app (for mobile) or browser addon (Firefox or Safari for desktop) to translate comments on YouTube or Instagram posts easily without having to copy/paste into Google translate? FB can auto-translate comments and posts (often with hilarious results to be sure) as can Twitter. Instagram only translates posts. Funny that YouTube is owned by Google and Instagram by Facebook but they don't seem to benefit from the easier translation.

My wife says "Can I borrow a pen, please?"
So I gave her this --
to which she uttered the fatal words "Oh, I like this one...".

Oh well, thanks anyway. I know IG used to translate comments but it was buggy and would only work for visible ones. TikTok does have a translate function but you have to press on each comment and a popup menu appears.
What is on my mind is the news that Army personnel involved in what has become know as the ‘Blackhawk Down’ incident in Somalia are getting their just do, some who were my friends and former teammates and our reunion in Mogadishu, unfortunately turned tragic.
“The U.S. Army is upgrading the combat awards for 60 veterans who served in Operation Gothic Serpent in 1993, a battle in Somalia more commonly known as "Blackhawk Down" for its pop culture portrayals.
Fifty-eight of the service members who fought in the battle will see their awards upgraded to Silver Stars while the other two will be upgraded to Distinguished Flying Crosses, according to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
"On the afternoon of Oct. 3, [1993] armed militants shot down two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, after which U.S. ground forces converged on the two downed aircraft to recover the personnel," an Army press release read. "The ensuing intense firefight resulted in the loss of 18 American Soldiers and remains an especially significant point in the history of the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Special Operations Command specifically."
The upgrades happened after former Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy directed the board in charge of such awards to revisit awards that had already been issued. “

To be honest most of what I know of that incident comes from the film. Not sure how accurate it was, but pretty intense.
The movie was fairly accurate with what they showed, which surprised me. There was much more involved, before and after the incident.
I'm sure.
Tomorrows game is on my mind as well as an upcoming trip to Norfolk to see my Mum. First time I've seen here in a good few years. Long way to go though. 4 hours each way, so booked a hotel. Hope to take my camera and do some photography.
It’s the last week before the kids start there holidays, hence I booked it off.
But the trip is not a great one. No direct route from my side of the country to the other.
At this point I’m more worried about the weather. Supposed to rain all week. That won’t be good for gardening, travelling or photography!
Thanks. It’s the first time I will have seen her new house. She moved about 3-4 years ago. I think her old one was marginally closer, even though as the crow flies Norfolk is nearer than Essex to where I live. Just no direct route.
I tried Jaffa Cakes, and based on the pictures I’ve seen, mine were severely messed up in transit.
The chocolate and orange jam fused into one layer, and that layer was fused with the cake, so it was a box of three Jaffa tubes.
Plus, neither of the first two numbers in the expiration date go above 12, so I can’t tell if it’s in d/m/y or m/d/y format. If I had to hazard a guess, it’s the one that puts them out of date.
All in all, not too bad.

It should be d/m/y if they came from the U.K. as we do it the correct way. Sorry they didn’t survive the journey. They are a nice treat.
But as I’m being good at the moment, I’m not having treats. In fact at this morning’s weigh in I’m at my lowest ever. 11 stone 2 lb.
All the exercise is really helping.
Ah, Jaffa Cakes.
Decent Brother always adored them, and devoured them as a child.
These days, I make a point of having some (always) to hand; a classic and with good reason, and nice to know that they are in the cupboard should an urge to snack attack you some wet and miserable afternoon.
I might add that this is a biscuit (cake?) that goes awfully well with tea (and I write as someone who passionately loves my daily cup/mug/pot of coffee).

Biscuit or a cake? It’s like a halfway house.
Agreed.
Actually, I seem to recall some ad which asked this very question.
However, I do know that - since childhood - it has been a family favourite - above all, by Decent Brother.
And delicious with tea.
Agreed. Maybe I should get some in!
Have a great Independence Day fellow Americans!
Enjoy the grill and the fireworks! I had the honour of being invited to the US embassy in Geneva in 2019 (as we arrange visits and presentations every semester for our American students) to celebrate July 4th and the 50th anniversay of the moon landing. Lots of fun actually and a fantastic buffet. Sliders, tacos, sushi (well really the latter two are indicative of the "melting pot" right?) etc.
