  Hey, I didn't know owners could be suspended in sports. Does this happen anywhere else? Anyway, Jed York , some football owner of some football team is suspended for a few games and fined $500,000 for his getting caught traveling to meet a hooker in a trailer park. He wasn't suspended for paying to have sex with Trailer Park trash Barbie. No, no- that shit goes on all day, every day. He got caught and that was his big screw up. First of all, I'm not sure what his "suspension" involves. He doesn't actually get in the game and if you think he's still not running the show, then someone's living in another world. Couldn't he just fire the assholes who suspended him? It's all bullshit. It's just a tactic, another game plan because apparently this team is reeling from some lousy behavior this season.  Naturally, Jed made a statement that this is not who he is.  Motherfucker, it's exactly who you are!? Who you trying to fool? You got caught ...

 Sometimes being poor your whole life has some advantages. People in this country who have never had to suffer are now feeling the pinch. I don't mind that I can't buy a Starbucks latte white macchiato Ricky Ricardo because I've never stood in line for a high priced cup of elite. I don't go to salons, get manicures or pedicures. Yesterday, I wore a shirt that is twenty six years old. The end of the month is where I get creative with food. I actually created a spaghetti sauce I now use all the time over that store bought slop. This regime hasn't made it easy for anyone. I think of single or divorced mothers who need to feed her children whether child support arrives or not because I've been there. I'm not writing this for sympathy. I want you all to know the reality out there. So I don't get too chocked up when ya can't buy steak this week, or, you have to put back a bottle of wine or case of beer. You haven't hit bottom until you're contempla...

  Have you ever been in a situation where you act like a complete doofus in front of someone? The same someone. On a regular basis. Like every damn time you run into each other? There is a young woman who lives in the same building as I do and I swear a curse has been placed upon me so that I am rendered slug like in her presence.  The very first time we met was right after I moved in. I was bringing a load of groceries up to my apartment. She offered to bring a bag up and I walked inside, to the kitchen and started putting groceries away. I completely forgot about her standing outside my apartment door, waiting patiently. She laughed it off and scurried away.  The second time was when we met on the stairs as we walked down to check the mail. I went down first and as I turned back I noticed a sort of weird look on her face. We said goodbye and she again scurried away, out the main entrance. That's when I felt a draft behind me. My skirt was stuck partially inside my undie...

 Maybe it's us. Maybe the news sources who remain silent regarding the Trump regime are doing the right thing. Even after the orange man continues to break the law regarding the judgement that he cannot ban reporters from the press pool, MSNow executives have decided to take his money- no- our money and run Trump's garbage ads on their sites. So, I'll just sit back and see which trusted journalist leaves.  Oh, hey Joe Scarborough, wasn't that you who blasted the Republicans for allowing Trump to use tax payer money to air his lies? Tick tock.....

 I haven't watched one pro baseball game this season. I was turned off by the MAGA mentality, especially after seeing the Cubs hold a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk last season. The team's owners are bigly Trump supporters and contributors to his regime. So now, if I want to watch a ballgame I go local, to the home team featuring college kids. The season has ended so I'm now poking around the big teams. What's with the Houston Astros and their fans booing the players? Is that what fans do now- boo their team? Maybe it's because we're watching millionaires play a game and maybe the love for the game has changed. In 1970, a baseball player averaged about $29,000 a season. The average income for the fans was around $9,000. Today the average income for regular folks is around $65,000, while a ballplayer makes $5 million and up. I don't doubt the professional players still love the game but I think the reason for being passionate about the game has changed. I...

  Well, this is a dilemma for me- choosing the man or the bear. I am terrified of bears and am pretty sure death by bear will be my fate. I'm not sure how many bears we have in the area- the number should be, zero, but tell that to a bear. In a TIK TOK survey asking eight women which species they would choose if they were hiking in the woods and were confronted by bear or human male, seven preferred the bear. Men scoffed and left ugly comments. Sometimes, y'all just be you and we'd rather take our chances with the bear. It's news like we had yesterday about the reopening of an investigation into the alleged rape of a female student that got me thinking about our choices, which are minimal. We are still blamed, as though we just should have known what we were getting into.  "Damn, girl, you go to a party and drink!? Whaddya expect?  The excuses and finger pointing is beginning. The school claims they shared all their evidence with the police, including the texts be...
