WELCOME to THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26th, 2026

As I Mature…

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just aren’t worth it.

I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I’ve learned that you can keep vomiting, long after you think you’re finished.

I’ve learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I’ve learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place!

I’ve learned that 99% of the time when something isn’t working in your house, one of your kids did it.

I’ve learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon, and all the less important ones just never go away.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL THURSDAY people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

 
There are various words addressing the maddening uncertainty of the two fundamental dimensions of human life: time and love.

ÉNOUEMENT
n. the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, finally learning the answers to how things turned out but being unable to tell your past self.
French énouer, to pluck defective bits from a stretch of cloth + dénouement, the final part of a story, in which all the threads of the plot are drawn together and everything is explained. Pronounced “ey-noo-mahn.”

QUERINOUS
adj. longing for a sense of certainty in a relationship; wishing there were some way to know ahead of time whether this is the person you’re going to wake up next to for twenty thousand mornings in a row, instead of having to count them out one by one, quietly hoping your streak continues.
Mandarin 确认 (quèrèn), confirmation. Twenty thousand days is roughly fifty-five years. Pronounced “kweh-ruh-nuhs.”

There are words that reckon with the challenges of self-knowledge.

AGNOSTHESIA
n. the state of not knowing how you really feel about something, which forces you to sift through clues hidden in your own behavior, as if you were some other person — noticing a twist of acid in your voice, an obscene amount of effort you put into something trifling, or an inexplicable weight on your shoulders that makes it difficult to get out of bed.

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
A little boy was waiting for his mother. As he waited, he was approached
by a man who asked, “Son, can you tell me where the Post Office is?”
The little boy replied, “Sure! Just go straight down this street two blocks and turn to your right.”
The man thanked the boy kindly and said, “I’m the new pastor in town.
I’d like you to come to church on Sunday. I’ll show you how to get to Heaven.”
The little boy replied with a laugh; “You’re kidding me, right?
You don’t even know the way to the Post Office.” 😮😮
 

Wednesday’s Movie Trivia of the day!  
After another student loses his virginity, four friends decide it is their turn to do the same, and make a pact to do so before prom night three weeks later. Three of the friends, however, determine that it is naïve of them to do so just for the sake of it, and on prom night, decide they did not want to lose their virginity. After learning that the first was lying about his experience, they reconcile.

Answer: East Great Falls High – Jason Biggs (1999) The correct answer was American Pie
 
Thursdays Movie Trivia of the day!  
Following a night of adventure and drinking, two friends wake up hungover with no recollection of the evening. They discover that their vehicle is missing, and in it, the anniversary gifts for their twin girlfriends. Retracing their steps, they meet all sorts of zany characters, and in a twist you wouldn’t expect if you didn’t know the film, two sets of aliens; one group bent on destroying the universe, and one on saving it. Fortunately for the title, they do eventually find their car (and save the universe).

Wednesday’s Quizzler is….​
I am periodically the number 79. Long ago some attempted to make me from 29,
but learned it couldn’t be done. If you add me to 80 I appear to be 47 temporarily.
What am I?

Answer: Gold
Gold is represented by the number 79 on the Periodic table of elements. Long ago alchemists tried to make gold from copper.(number 29) If you add gold to mercury (number 80) it will appear to be silver for a time.

Thursday’s Quizzler is….​😎😎
After buying a new oven, Gerald sold his old one to a stranger. Although the stranger offered to pay cash, Gerald, nonetheless, had a very good reason for insisting that the transaction take place at a bank. Rather than be offended, the stranger clearly understood the reason for this unusual request. Why did Gerald make this demand?
