It's All Relative

Image
  Years ago I decided to buy one of those new fangled vacuums, one you plug in and pull off its base for small spills. I took it out of the box in my living room on my lovely white carpet and plugged it in. Dust cane out of the container so I opened it to find it had already been used. The detachable cup was stuffed with what looked to be carpet remains and foam, completely stuffed inside. I honestly don't remember if I took it back or just emptied it and used it. It was just dirt after all.  Unlike this woman who bought a small urn for her mother's ashes on Amazon - already filled. What do you do with a stranger's ashes? Amazon gave her a refund and she tried communicating with the third party who sold the urn through Amazon to no avail.  I hate third party sellers. I no longer use Amazon but never had any issues there, but Walmart better get its act together. I have had nothing but issues when I buy through third parties. Last Christmas I found a train set that carries ...

A Female Uber Driver, Please

Image
  I just watched an interesting commercial where a young woman just gets off a bus and seems terrified as she looks around her environment. She then looks down on her phone and requests an Uber- and a woman driver, only.  She only feels safe after a she's inside the car and the Uber driver seems to understand her reasoning for wanting a woman. They knowingly smile and nod.  That certainly says a lot about our society, doesn't it? Women don't feel safe around men. I haven't had a bad experience with a Uber driver. I haven't used them that often and when I have I've been with someone. I do remember at least half a dozen times when hailing down a taxi in Chicago getting a male driver who sometimes flirted, one creep even followed me into the train station, so I understand her hesitation in getting in a car late at night with a man.  But why the fuck is it on us to find ways to protect ourselves from men? Why? Honestly, if I ever have to use Uber and I'm alone, ...

G7 Light And Darkness Sit Together

  He must realize the man he sits across from does not want him to succeed- the man who who is more concerned about appearances rather than saving the lives of millions. He pleads not only for his people he swore to protect but of the 30,000 Russian soldiers who die each month for a meaningless cause ordered by a man who has lost any sense of humanity, a taker he knows is admired by the man in front of him who sits for the photo op. He will get on his knees and beg if he must. Two men sitting at a table, one whose only goal is to seek peace, who talks with a man whose only interest is how he can profit from this. A hollow shell sitting next to life, light and love.

  I was surprised to see the orange man in Paris. Obviously I don't keep track of his schedule. I think he got enough sleep during his birthday bash to keep the peepers open. His photo op with Emmanuel Macron was hilarious. Man, that man is sexy. Ooh la la. I'll be checking in regarding the summit although I think they'll all soon be checking out.  Au revoir.

  And they wonder why they are so hated. Sociopaths who are allowed to carry a gun. I try to understand the side of the men in blue who have to deal with nuts all day long. They are also at great risk because of said nuts. But, you are no better when you shoot innocent women, innocent men and a fucking dog because his human mama was enjoying a moment. You're fucking despicable. 

Aliens. Here They Are!

  I have not seen the movie, 'Disclosure Day,' but I intend to because I love Emily Blunt. If I swung that way, and I got rid of John Krasinski and the stars aligned... I also love Josh O'Connell, although I've only seen him in one movie, but he was absolutely memorable and how can you not love those ears. AND, it's a Steven Spielberg movie! He directed, ' Duel ,' which isn't even listed in his file of movies. I don't know why that movie is impossible to view. It's a classic. As is, 'Jaws,' 'ET,' and 'Schindler's List,' which I still have not gathered up the nerve to view. 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' is also fantastic. Spielberg has a lot of duds, one being the remake of, 'War of the Worlds,' but he can do alien movies. 'Minority Report,' is one of my favorite movies as well. As much as I'm fascinated with interstellar beings coming to our planet I have zero interest in Trump's...
