These are the words of the Quester, David’s son and king in Jerusalem: Smoke, nothing but smoke. [That’s what the Quester says.] There’s nothing to anything—it’s all smoke. What’s there to show for a lifetime of work, a lifetime of working your fingers to the bone? One generation goes its way, the next one arrives, but nothing changes—it’s business as usual for old planet earth. The sun comes up and the sun goes down, then does it again, and again—the same old round. The wind blows south, the wind blows north. Around and around and around it blows, blowing this way, then that—the whirling, erratic wind. All the rivers flow into the sea, but the sea never fills up. The rivers keep flowing to the same old place, and then start all over and do it again. Everything’s boring, utterly boring— no one can find any meaning in it. Boring to the eye, boring to the ear. What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There’s nothing new on this earth. Year after year it’s the same old thing. Does someone call out, “Hey, this is new”? Don’t get excited—it’s the same old story. Nobody remembers what happened yesterday. And the things that will happen tomorrow? Nobody’ll remember them either. Don’t count on being remembered.
Let’s add to the list… they constantly fall out, they hurt, if they DON"T fall out, you constantly have to keep pushing them in, their are better ones for the money…..
I have found the best earbuds of my life on Amazon. They cost about $15. They maintain the most consistent connectivity to my phone, the phone not forgetting them, that I have experienced: https : //www . amazon . com / dp / B0866C659Q?ref=ppx _ yo2ov _ dt _ b _ product _ details&th=1. Honestly, it was a search of many years………………………….Piggly Wiggly, this is a political post.
The Count thinks Rat is a lot like Ann❤️Eiffel (and visa versa)… they’re all lowly unworthies who aren’t worthy. Cheer up, Brother Rat, sometime The Perfect❤️Rodent will come along. There’s a Rat out there for everyone.
Since when is Rat so introspective and honest with himself? He’s the sort who would say “For the fiftieth time in a row, this relationship turned sour and ended in the exact same way. Isn’t a shame that I’ve met fifty people who all had the same set of flaws?” I feel like Goat should have been the one to kick this off.
If you don’t like having earbud cables, but you want airpods, but you also don’t want to lose them: there is a strap you can get that holds them around your neck in case they fall out. It’s the genius of Apple products, to make you buy a cable for a wireless device.

I’d have expected Rat to say things like “They’re not obedient enough” or “They don’t know when to stop talking.”

I lost one of my airpods, but it works fine with just one. I can listen to my Iphone and still be aware of what is going on around me.

Generic airpods cost 1/10th as much and work just the same. Apple always demands more than a fair price.

Just a thought: now, with A.I. taking over the world, the AirPod/romance analogy is even more apt (or should I say “more app”?)….
