Folks generally aren't very creative in choosing names for their dogs.
That's why there are so many named Rover and Spot.
But, have you heard the plight of the bloke who thought he'd name his dog Sex?
It goes like this:
"One day Sex and I took a walk. and he ran away from me. I spent hours looking for that dog. A policeman came sby and asked what I was doing in this alley at midnight? I told him I was looking for Sex.
My case comes up next Tuesday."
"But, that ain't the worst part. One day, I went to the town hall to get a dog license for Sex.
The clerk asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted a license for Sex.
He said, 'I'd like to have one, too.'
Then, I said, 'You don't understand. She's a dog.'
He said he didn't care how she looked.
When I told him I'd had Sex since I was 5, he said, “You must have been an early bloomer."
"When I decided to get married, I told the minister I wanted to have Sex at the wedding. He told me I'd have to wait until after the wedding. When I protested that Sex had played a big part in my life and that my whole life revolved around Sex, he said he didn't want to hear about my personal life."
"After my wife and I were married, I took the dog with us on the honeymoon. When I checked into the hotel, I told the clerk I wanted a room for my wife and wanted one for Sex.
She said. 'Every room in the hotel was for sex.'
I said, 'You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night.'
The clerk said, 'Me, too.' "
"When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. When I told the Judge I had Sex before I was married, he grinned and said, “ Me. too."
"Now that I've been thrown in jail, married, divorced and had more trouble with that dog than I ever imagined, I'm in counseling. My psychiatrist asked me what my problem was. I said.
"Sex has died and left my life. It's like losing a best friend and I'm so lonely," I told him.
He said,
"Look, you and I both know that sex isn't a man's best friend. Get yourself a dog."

@Fragglemuppet I just filled in the fields as I saw them. I hope I did it the right way. I'm not sure how to edit the post. But I'm just glad I got the station out to more people.

For those who use the radio stations part of Tweesecake I've added XTFM. Just do a search for XTFM in all caps and you'll all be able to listen.

Another way to answer the age old question?
Person 1, "How are you?"
Person 2. "I'm upright."
That's at least a step up from yesterday.

@Fragglemuppet The Country I listen to mostly tells stories. I'm also into Bluegrass. So I hear stuff on the radio and I'm all. Wow. I feel like the get off my lawn old person when it comes to popular music.

This song on the radio is talking about how he can talk about forever for a day or two. He then sings about how the lord made him hard to handle and how he still has a lot of leaving left to do. I'm like. "So you're an asshole and want to sing about it."

I hope all are having an excellent day. I plan to do just this.

I've started Witcher Book 1. Bob's playing Witcher 3, so I thought I'd try the books.

My dad found my very first Snoopy I ever had as a child. He told me Snoopy was on the couch, and I cried such happy tears.

@Fragglemuppet I'm glad to hear that he at least made cookies.

@Fragglemuppet Aww. I'm sorry your Bob is a butthole. Are you okay when I talk about mine even though yours is the way he is?

@Fragglemuppet I know! At least he can give me awesome things to help my sweet tooth. And there are way less healthy things out there than 3 ingredient cookies.

Aww! Bob is making me peanut butter cookies for my last day of 44! I love him for this and many many other reasons.

I've been trying to play with the ElevenLabs app and I can't figure out how to have it read files from my Dropbox. I go to "More," when I want to import, and all I see is what's on my phone. I feel like I'm not nearly smart enough to use this app. Is there an audio tutorial or something I can listen to? I do know someone said that .pdf's work better than text files, but other than that I'm absolutely at a loss. I'd love to get it figured out though.

This months special at our favorite local coffee shop is a chocolate orange combination. We'll be going back at least once this month so we can have it again.

Happy new year to all. I hope 2025 is amazing for everyone.

@Fragglemuppet That's always an excellent feeling getting through the day feeling like you've achieved all your accomplishments. Go you!

@Fragglemuppet Nah, it's an app for the iPhone.

There are finally AI voices for Voice Dream Reader. I think Melanie is my favorite so far.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!
