Asking for a #TIP while completing an online order when I am not ordering food? Com'on! I am lost for words to come up with a proper adjective to describe the lunacy of this! #Tipping #TippingGoneWild #StupidTippingTrends

As I was (re)listening for the umpteenth time, Chris Norman and Suzy Quatro singing Stubmulin' in, I noticed something I have failed for like 50 years. Chris Norman can sing without his signature scratchy #Smokie voice! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Abv... #ChrisNorman #SuzyQuatro #70s #Music

Must-win #chess game to save your own life. This, stranger than fiction, happened IRL to Ossip Bernstein when facing a death squad. One of the officers recognized the famous chess player and offered to play a game in which, if Ossip lost or drew, he would be shot. www.chess.com/article/view...

I learned that I could turn into a flustered schoolgirl at her prom when I met the former #BuffaloBills quarterback Doug Flutie.

“The Classic pork sandwich (contains pork).” I guess I learned something today. I would not have guessed otherwise.

Sofija and I needed to stay overnight at a hotel near Orlando airport. I purposely booked a hotel about 15 miles away from the airport so we don't get disturbed by planes. The only problem - our hotel was in the direct path for ascending planes out of the airport. #CantWin

The frustrating thing about being a Bills fan this year is that you know that it's a talented team.

Today I learned that in Samoa, it's a crime to forget your wife's birthday. But what about a wife forgetting her husband's birthday? I am aware that the chances of that happening are super low, but still...

Are you looking to do a #TurkeyTrot in #RochesterNY? Consider The Feast Thanksgiving Day Run/Walk. 5-mile or 2-mile options to pick from. #Running runsignup.com/Race/NY/Roch...

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

#Penny is dead! Isn't that something! It makes me wonder if there is going to be legislation to force the selling price to be multiples of nickels. #WednesdayThoughts #USMint

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

Have some faith, huh…

Today I started learning #Latvian #Gambit. (Hey #Hollywood, it's an excellent name for a TV show or a movie:)) One of the first opponents I beat with my new skill set was from #Russia. How fitting! Check out this #chess game: A_singular_dummy vs 65Picklez - www.chess.com/game/live/14...

Bount for Hounds 6 Hour Ultra is becoming a staple in the #RochesterNY and #WNY #UltraRunning community, and it is for a good cause. Also, it's one of the few, if not the only, races in the area that allows and encourages #dog participation. #Running #UltraMarathon runsignup.com/Race/NY/Shor...

"The Eagle Flies Alone" by Arch Enemy. Today I feel like listening to #HeavyMetal with #Female vocalists. #ArchEnemy www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjF1...

Obligatory voted selfie. Even though I first came to the US in 1994 and started living here full-time in 1997, I could not vote in any of the elections until 2016. That's how long it took for all the official paperwork to go through without any illegal or shady shortcuts to become a citizen.

Pamatojoties uz Latvijas Republikas Satversmes 71. pantu, prasu likuma “Par izstāšanos no Eiropas Padomes Konvencijas par vardarbības pret sievietēm un vardarbības ģimenē novēršanu un apkarošanu” (likumprojekta Nr. 1058/Lp14) otrreizēju caurlūkošanu.

I don't know who Amy Ozols is and what she does on #Jeopardy, but it is clear that she has some kind of #Latvian connection. Ozols translated from Latvian to #English is Oak.

Rudenī viņa kā rupjmaize Siltiem gabaliem laužama Ziemā kabatā sildītu Es viņu kā burkānu graužu #SaldusSaule #ĒriksĶiģelis #MārisČaklais #Saldus

As a native of #Latvija, I find it nice to see Made in #Latvia when I shop at my local grocery store in #HoneoyeFalls, NY. Yet, I thought the labeling was wrong. Fireplace logs were not made in Latvia, but they grew, then were cut, split, and packaged.

Two hundred one degrees was the temperature when I got into the sauna tonight. If I ever could join the #300Club, I would do it in a heartbeat…

Barbecue Bash Quarters is this weekend on Sunday, 11/2/2025. Quote original concept for the race since participants have the option to run a full marathon, a half marathon, a quarter marathon, or three-quarters of a marathon. #Rochester #Running #RochesterNY #Marathon runsignup.com/Race/NY/Roch...

#TIL that often cops complete the #DoorDash orders after arresting the DoorDash driver delivering the order.

Where are all the #Rochester area mountain goats? Colorfest Mountain Run offers significant elevation gains & losses, & breathtaking views if you still have breath left after climbing up & down the hills. This event is on Sunday, October 17, 2025. #Running #TrailRunning #HillRunning #RochesterNY

Rochester Rotary SunShine Camp's Trail Mix 5K is tomorrow. Don't miss out! #Rochester #RochesterNY #Running #TrailRunning

With my #chess rating dipping, I get to play against folks whose rating is lower than my average rating. However, I found it hard to play against these players because, even though they may not play good chess, they give me looks I am not used to, and I just lost five games in a row....

#SummerProject completed. At the beginning of the year, Sofija said she would prefer to have #Sauna in our backyard instead of a pool. We can use the sauna all year long, whereas the pool would have limited usage mostly during summer. Sure, a pool would be nice, but we are not Rockefellers...

#MathGeekThoughts It's mathematically impossible to give more than 100% of what you can give.

I was asked yesterday, "Has anyone told you that you look like Sean Connery?" I always knew I was handsome, but this was a new level of handsome even for me!

Pixie Lott - Midnight Train to Georgia (Gladys Knight & the Pips Cover) I wasn't immediately sold on this cover, but I like it now. A lot! #WednesdayMusic #ICanDigIt #YouCanDigIt www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDp7...

The other night, I was asked for ID when I ordered a glass of wine. I replied - Do I look that young and the waiter said, "No. I just wanted to see if you qualified for the Senior Citizen Discount." (Stolen from my friends FB post) #WednesdayJokes #BetterThanAlternative

I don't like the Buffalo Bills playing Thursday Night Games. When the weekend comes, it feels like a bye week with nothing to do... #BuffaloBills #NFL #TNF

I was searching for cruises and learned that as a 55-year-old, I can get senior discounts. How did that happen!

My parents and my brothers.

I am posting this while flying from Newark, NJ, US, to Stockholm, Sweden. Never in my wildest dreams as a kid did I imagine it would be possible to communicate with anyone in the world while 10’000 M high in the air in a flying tube not physically connected to anything. #Technology #Miracle

2025 #FIBA #EuroBasket kicks off today in #Riga, #Latvia for #Latvian national team! I will be rooting for them remotely for the first few games, then I can make it to the last game against the Czecks! Either way - GO, LATVIA! SARAUJ, LATVIJA!

We just finished watching the third season of #Fisk on #Netflix. I'd love to see more Australian sitcoms. I appreciate their dry sense of humor that made us pause the show a few times to finish laughing.

Welcome to Miami!

I saw a vanity plate that said BLIND on a car in front of me. I have too many questions about it...

#RochesterNY #Running #Rochester #ROC How many times do you get to run a 10K race in Rochester or Western NY in general? The Potato Run is one of the few 10Ks available. Easy flowing course. runsignup.com/Race/NY/Roch...

This kid is more balanced than our economy

i think both sides are to blame here
