 Word is Matthew McConaughey doesn't use deodorant. I guess he thinks men should smell like wild beasts so the women folk come a calling. According to the Daily Rag more men are choosing to forego pit perfume and go au natural on a first  date. I truly find it hard to believe this story where the male subject purposely avoids taking a shower as a means to impress a gal. For an added aroma boost, they also will put on a shirt that has been at the bottom of the laundry basket for a few weeks. They really want those pheromones to find their way to their chosen victim's sensory receptors. I didn't read the whole article, so I have no idea if this new way of seduction actually works.  As a woman, I will share my experience in this matter. If you come to a first date with dirty hair, smelly pits, stinky socks, it will be your last date. In fact, it won't even get started. I don't like to be around people who are a walking dumpster. I'm  not a dog who needs to sniff yo...

 I played tennis once. My sister wanted me to play against her because she wanted to try out for the high school tennis team. My sister was brave- maybe a little naive as well. Our high school was named one of the best in the state. Of course it was. It was parked in the middle of an affluent area where Brad's and Muffy's resided. Ferris Buehler anyone? Yeah, that affluent. Unfortunately, sister was fighting a losing battle. We came from the other side of the tracks where there was no such thing as extra money for lessons of any kind. I think on the one day I practiced with her we had borrowed badminton rackets. I didn't like running back and forth and I gave up on her. She never had a chance. Some of the girls she made friends with had tennis courts in their back yards, right next to the swimming pools. She never stopped trying to fit in and actually became a pom pom girl. I gave up before I even started. Sometimes Mom would drive me to school (because I tried to ditch) in...

  "Well I knowed she were my cousin. I's just helping her in her antraynewship. I bought her a pop after." So, the government is easing up on certain restrictions in the hiring process. If you hired a hooker in your past, that's ok, you can still be an FBI agent. It's now a case by case assessment. I can only assume the reason the agency is lowering standards is that they can't get good people to join the team. The deed must have been done at least ten years ago, so if you're 25, you hired a hooker when you were fifteen.  Lowering expectations has been going on for quite some time in America. Teaching is a low wage and stressful job. No one wants to do it. It could be why we have uneducated citizens who wouldn't be able to find Lake America on a map. Our scientists are moving to countries who appreciate them. The best and the brightest have choices and they choose respect and the ability to do their job without government interference, especially from...

  I haven't read the NYTimes in years because of the red tape involved being allowed to read it. It was once the most respected news source on the planet. Now, it is regarded as a loathsome and laughable rag. I know of two people who hate one NYT "journalist," with a passion. Michael Wolff has nothing nice to say about Maggie Haberman. He has called her an opportunistic bitch, which is funny considering the source. I have no idea what Maggie did to Michael, but she put a bee in his bonnet. The other person is of course the orange man who tends to go after female reporters. He's angry with Haberman because she spoke the truth. Trump declined to be at this year's 9/11 memorial because the authorities told him he couldn't make a speech. Since the memorial would no longer be about him, he acted as his usual selfish and narcissistic self- he's not going- which is a blessing actually, but he blames and claims "Maggot" is a liar, among other names I...

  The only time I ever see Fox Faux News is when I'm sitting in the hospital cafeteria. After lab work I go there because I like the coffee and it's a calming place to sit except for what's on the tv. Whoever chose to put on Fox knows their audience. It's mostly old people who still come to this location, as I do, for lab work. But, I digress. So, I am aware of Laura Ingram who in no way shape or form is a journalist. She's a parrot who shares whatever is whispered in her ear. Until lately, Laura was a trusted MAGA propagandist. She's gone off course a bit because she has been distracted by Abdul El Sayed, the progressive democrat. She can't stop talking about him. I feel like I'm back in highschool, sitting with a group of teenage girls whose only interest is Brad, the quarterback. Buffy: "He's so gross. Look at his giant thighs and tight shirt. I am going to barf on my square pizzaaaa." Miffany: "He's dreamy, whaddya talking abou...

  Well I just assumed Jelly Roll was a MAGA, after he was seen with the orange man around election time. Again, another person I really know nothing about. I think he's a country singer who recently lost a lot of weight and a wife as well. Jelly was on a roll the other night when he was guest host for Jimmy Kimmel. Magats are angry now because they believed he was one of them. Well, he looked the part. Obese, tattooed, a felon with horrible  tattoos on his face. I'm still not sure what side he's on but he did get some zingers off regarding Trump. Whatevs. He did say one thing that was interesting and it was about Dolly Parton. He said she may be the very last person who both sides cared about. That might be true because I cannot think of anyone else on the planet who both sides respect and admire. It's odd that the Reich wing hillbillies loved her so much because if they really paid attention, they would have vilified her, called her horrible names, but, they're stu...
