  If there were two complete opposites it's Usha and JD Vance. Even the professor who set them up admits they were vastly different. So, why set them up? Why would a woman set up a couple knowing they were oil and vinegar? Let me harken back to when I was youthful and interested in dating. There was a young man who wouldn't leave me the heck alone. I gave him signals like walking away in mid sentence or saying things like, " I'm not interested." "I'm involved with someone else." "I'm moving to the Australian outback." So one evening out with the girls, he shows up. I introduced him to someone I thought more suited to his personality. Fortunately, it was a success and they cohabitated for many years until he found someone else. Yeah, well, it started out pretty good.  Usha and JD were probably very interested in each other because of their differences. Perhaps JD knew he wasn't going to get anything better. I'm guessing he was a...

It only took fourteen years for a pittance of justice to be served. Andrew is no longer a prince. Virginia Giuffre isn't here to respond because she took her own life in April. Andrew has always denied the accusation he had sexual intercourse with a minor, but it took until now, after Giuffre's book was published for him to receive any consequences. He did pay a princely sum to appease the court in 2022 to make Giuffre go away. Giuffre was 16 in 2000 when her three year ordeal began. So this abuse has been known by many, many people for twenty- five years. I suppose I should feel something other than sadness. Relief, joy?  He thought his position in life would absolve him of any horrible behavior and for most of his life it did. I'm guessing at this very moment while Andrew has been forced to leave his home for something less princely but still more than he deserves, he is angry. He takes no responsibility or feels a shred of remorse. I can't even write about his ex w...

  Yeah, how do they live with themselves? This article is about the companies that are involved in the destruction of the East Wing of the White House. Apparently, those who have been spotted with their trucks and equipment have gone into semi hibernation. Their websites do not proudly claim they are a part of the orange king's quest to build his ballroom. In fact their websites have gone silent.  That's odd, isn't it? It's like a five year old child who knows they have done something very wrong and try to hide it. But, these are adults who obviously have no qualms about tearing down an historical building.  "Dad, what kind of jobs did you do?" "Well, son, I bashed a crane into the White House so the crazy man could have his building. I was just following orders." The companies have received massive negative feedback regarding their involvement, which they rightly deserve. No amount of money will ever give them back respect, integrity or business.  ...

 One thing I do know - there is a lot out there I don't know. I have heard that a Mediterranean diet is good for you. Yogurt, fruit, vegetables, fish, whilst staying clear of processed foods. What I didn't know until yesterday afternoon is that there are books, many books, using Jesus and his apostles to advocate this lifestyle. They really didn't have to deal with processed foods unless you count Jesus turning water into wine and turning five bread loaves and two fishes into thousands. A typical day for the gang would have been yogurt and berries for breakfast, washed down with lashings of water. Lunch would have been a salad with vegetables and olives, perhaps eaten with a delicious loaf of freshly baked bread. Then dinner consisted of fish, more vegetables, bread and a little wine. Simple and healthy stuff. A lot a good that did. We all know what happened to Jesus. I'm sure if he hadn't been flayed, whipped and hung out to die, he'd have lived to at least fif...

Seems to be a potato jacket war in the UK. I ate chips for dinner last night. And applesauce. Mike Johnson said voting for a stand alone bill to feed children is, "A waste of our time." The orange man thinks the cognitive test is an IQ test. He said it was hard. Sydney Sweeney is quite unattractive but men haven't noticed.  Looks like Barron has been replaced with Kai, who is learning the ropes on how to make money selling crap. You know those little desiccant packets you sometimes get in food and tech products - you can eat them and not die, unless you choke on them. Good to know. Katy and Justin sitting in a tree- k-i-s-s... He couldn't wait for Melania any longer. I saw this AITA post where a woman asks if she's the asshole because she has made it a rule to never, ever lend money to anyone. Her sister's daughter, her niece, has cancer. Her sister wanted to borrow $20,000 for an experimental treatment. Was she the asshole for saying, no? Did you know Eric St...

  Ewww. I've heard the rumors but passed it off as the left getting some kicks in Trump's backside, but according to E Jean Carroll,  the orange man really does smell awful. She says it a combination of cologne and sewage. What!? As much as I despise the cretin he seemed to take care with his grooming habits. Is he not wiping properly? Is he avoiding showers? Does he wear Depends? Again- ewww. Who should be the one to tell him he stinks? Melania would be the first choice but she's just the hired help. She has no say regarding his hygiene. Then who? Stephen Miller wafts in the odor of sewage, rotting flesh and mummified bodies. He's happiest when he can be near his own kind. JD? I doubt he can smell anything. In fact he looks to be a smelly fellow as well. Growing up in Appalachia, bathing was once a week using a bowl and a stub of lye soap. A wash behind the ears and he was set for the week. There's Barron. We don't know if he can actually communicate but I onc...

  Walking into the building made my heart palpitate. I sat among a few young mothers who were holding babies and trying to rein in rambunctious and bored toddlers. There were elderly people who walked with canes or sat in wheelchairs, waiting for their names to be called. Here I was, a healthy young woman sitting here feeling like a fraud and worst of all, a leech. I was applying for food stamps. I was one of the working poor. Since the age of sixteen I worked. After my divorce and child support being spotty at best, I took a job where I could be home when my daughter got home from school. It paid minimum wage and the hours were never the same. Some days I'd work eight hours, others, five. There was never enough food to feed the both of us. There were times I took food from my parent's refrigerator. Both were retired and living on a fixed income and I was stealing food from them. The last meal I made, of noodles and butter, finally made me accept the reality that I had to apply...

  When the orange man was running for president the first time around I knew who supported him because the signs were up. The best place to walk is by the lake where the fancy homes with fancy people are fortunate to live. The blue versus red support seemed to be equally divided, although the Magas went all out with bigger flags and dozens of signs planted in their front lawns. I think in every town there is the affluent side and the not so affluent side. Naturally, you go to the fancy houses on Halloween to get the good candy. That means heading to the lake where the big beautiful houses nearly touch the water. There are two kinds of affluent people when it comes to Halloween. Those who go all out and those who turn off their porch lights and hide in the dark until the official trick or treating is over. Then they scurry out to live their miserable, Scrooge lives. As an adult I enjoy watching the kiddos in their princess (still popular) dresses and Superman (also still popular) ti...

  Back when I was young and stupid I applied for and received my first credit card. I was now involved in one of the biggest scams that is considered legal in the history of mankind. It was through Wells Fargo. I think my limit was $10,000 and it came in handy many times. It took me twenty years to pay off the debt. I probably paid $20,000 just in interest. I don't recall WF trying to sell me any fries with that card, but it's what they did with millions of accounts, all without the consent of the client. It's called cross-selling and businesses do it all the time, but you're supposed to know and have the option to say no. "Would you like a shake with those added fries, or maybe a sleeping bag with that new tent?" WF employees were apparently pressured into selling extras to a client's account, which turned into a giant kerfuffle of scheming, lying thieves who added a credit card to your loan account without you knowing until a few of you who actually rea...

  Sometimes I write scathingly brilliant posts you will never see because I discard them after I write them. It's pointless to rant over unfixable situations, but I do. I write things no one should see, especially our current government. I'm still sane enough to realize I can't write down certain wishes and desires. Y'all know what I mean. Lately I have been focused on the government shutdown, specifically, the Republicans, who refuse to budge, who'd rather children starve than work together for the betterment for all Americans. Congress is getting paid as air traffic controllers are taking side jobs to feed their families. That's ignorance, because they might win this one, but in the end, when the orange man croaks and the names and numbers revealed, you are cooked.  Now I  know some of you are enraged over the demolition of a part of the White House, unless it's all a bunch of bullshit and you've got nothing better to be angry over. I realize some of y...

  *This is law speak for dummies. What is a SLAPP? In dummy terms it's a frivolous lawsuit created to threaten and intimidate someone breathing down your neck. Trump is king of the lawsuits. He absolutely loves them. Was it his idea to have his concubine go after Michael Wolff? More than likely. Melania doesn't seem the type to get out of her coffin unless summoned by "Donowd." Oops. You poked the wrong person, Melania. One thing we can truthfully say about Trump's lawyers. They are terrible, the worst, the dumbest, most corrupt and lacking of any ethics or morals. That's a lot of lawyers, but in this case you'd think a powerful man, the leader of a whatever this is right now could hire the best. I'm sure he has tried. They want nothing to do with him so he is relegated to pick among the bottom of the barrel. Apparently, Melania has learned the same tactic as her pimp, the orange man and has threatened to sue Michael Wolff which is backfiring. Bigly. ...

  The winds howled as we made our way through the cemetery. I could no longer see my mother as we fought against the forces which held us back. I wanted to cry out as I felt a slap across my ankles. I heard my Auntie Icky seemingly far off, a muffled shout of, "Here. Over here!" I jumped as I felt something squeeze my shoulder. My mother's long, bony fingers dug into me as she steered me towards the voice. As we ran we were bombarded with tiny spits of ice which stung us mercilessly on our exposed arms and face. "Run, Maggie, run," I heard my mother yell in panicked gasps. As we rounded a corner we saw a body lying on the ground. We both recoiled as it began to move and wail through the intermittent bursts of thunder. Lightning crossed the sky along with cracks like a whip and still the body keened and waved back and forth before the gravestone. I could not move even if I demanded my body to obey me. I watched as my mother fought against an invisible barrier and...

  I try not to get angry regarding the clown circus in DC. I try to step back and view it as a witness to history. Our hands are tied, so pulling out my hair and falling in a rabbit hole will only ruin me. We are watching one man destroy this country. So now we can understand the phenomena when we have seen this happen in other countries. I'm not going to rant over his renovation projects or his golf outings or his gold plated everything because those things can be fixed in time. But to watch him share images of his fancy ballroom with such glee as children in this country will go to bed hungry is astonishing. It is absolutely appalling. What is it with the people he is surrounded by who support him? How do they justify such cruelty? I don't care if mom and dad are the laziest, stupidest grifters who try to beat the system every chance they get. I have a family member who used the system for years. One year she had invited me to a Thanksgiving feast. I arrived a day early and a...

 Today was a lazy day, meaning, I was lazy af. Still no heat and I'm not the one who is going to complain. There are twenty other people who live in this building and they always assume I'm going to be the one to call the witch (property manager) Not this time, people. So, I snuggled in bed and continue to read, 'Dracula' (loving it) Once in awhile I checked in on Bluesky to see if he was dead yet. Nope. Then I headed over to YouTube to see if Arkansas State Trooper Byrd pitted any perps. What I did see nearly flooded me. Fortunately, I was in bed. YouTube is a bitch about anyone using the words, "dead," "murder," "stab," and "bloody." It seems to have no issue running ads that are false, with some being downright dangerous, such as this one... These are deworming drugs used for animals. We have heard about Ivermectin. The orange clown and the worm in brain clown have recommended this as an alternative to a covid vaccine. If you n...

  I don't know why I'm still curious about Aaron Rodgers. I think I'm pretty good weeding out frauds and people giving out bad vibes. Rodgers fooled me. Bigly. He seemed like an intelligent, kind and a little odd, with an all American boy persona that went way south. I'm not exactly sure when the cracks began. I think it was at the height of COVID we found out who the real Aaron was. He calls himself a "critical thinker," which means he doesn't believe in science, but something far greater than science - his imagination. He lied about taking the covid vaccine, because he critically thought about it and came up with the idea that scientists were wrong and he was right. Then he talked about doing his thinking, with his thoughts, in something the size of a fishing hut and thinking, thinking some more, with the help of a hallucinogenic. He was unhappy with being a Packer. He felt he was no longer receiving the respect he was due. He wanted to move on and the c...

  No, I didn't make my bed. I think a Blueskyer muted me because I made a joke. The faceplant guy video is still satisfying to watch. It's 46 degrees outside and no heat in the apartment. I'm going to read, 'Dracula,' next.  I was disappointed after reading, 'The Curious Kitten at the Chibineko Kitchen.' Putin and Trump are not talking. Mike Johnson is still a weasel. I haven't spoken to my sister in two years. Eggs are $2.24. Seems the Trump hoors are fighting amongst each other.  Do you know about the twenty hour rule?  I ate Cheerios for dinner last night. The Sargasso sea has no coastlines. If you don't like 'Roll the Bones,' by Shakey Graves , well we are incompatible. Do you ever wonder if you pass like ships through the night people you have met before? Why doesn't Netflix have anything decent? Big Balls was beaten up by a girl. So who do you think is going to take the blame for the Louvre heist? It was ingenious and I'm sure ...

Hey, remember that tv show, 'Extreme Makeover,' where a small group of people build a house in one week? I love those kind of shows. I will stay plastered to the TV screen to watch HGTV when I get a chance. Anything about renovating and redocorating a house is for me, so I may lose readers here when I say, "I don't care about the east wing of the White House being demolished. It's a hallway." I wasn't that upset over Jackie's rose garden being paved over, either. For a flower garden it was lacking... in flowers. The new patio area is being used and when all the twinkly lights are on its really pretty. I love twinkly lights. Most people assumed aliens from outer space would destroy the White House before a sitting president would. Lol. Boy, were they wrong.  Look people, this isn't a political position. It's about aesthetics. Trump is in his element when he can decorate a room. I think he stayed with his first wife, Ivana as long as he did becau...

  Why do people fall for this? Why!? It's a scam! I've seen these ads on YouTube and scroll right on by. But I made the mistake of entering the dark place-The Daily Mail, where nothing is real or true, but I like to see what the trolls are writing. I hate Maureen Callahan with all my being. She's the epitome of a paid hoor who will say anything for a dollar. She claims to hate Meghan Markle but I think she really wants to have coitus with her. She's obsessed. Anyway, back to finding the person of your dreams via an artificially generated drawing. But look, this woman found her man! Wow. He looks exactly li... Uh, noooo. He has a beard. Wow, exactly the same! If you've been around the block you'll remember Miss Cleo, who showed up late at night on the telly, inviting you to call her because she can tell you your future. For a price, of course.  Psychics were all over the place on talk shows. Some even had their own show, like, John Edward and Theresa Caputo. I do...

  It's six pm and I'm eating dinner, which isn't unusual because that's when people eat dinner. I'm not a stickler for this routine but I know a couple who eat dinner at precisely six pm, on the dot, and have for the last twenty plus years. I also knew a couple who changed their bed sheets every Thursday evening. Hey, I change my sheets but I don't keep track of when. Back in the day, before direct deposit, I had to write a check for a bill and mail it off. When I got a bill in the mail I put it aside and hoped it would disappear. After a week or two I'd finally send it off. I was once visiting a friend who just got a bunch of mail. She pulled out what looked like bills and proceeded to write out checks then and there. Well, fuckety fuck, I had never seen this done before. Is this how most people pay their bills? I was just doing what I had been seeing my parents do. Look and hide the bills, then finally pull out the check book. I don't understand the wo...

  One of my real life nightmare jobs was working in a company that engraved parts. It was a very small shop with usually six employees. The male to female ratio was five to one. It was a breeding ground for misogynistic behavior. The owners were a married couple where the male usually strolled in around ten, while she came in every two weeks to reluctantly pass out paychecks. Every time she entered the building one of the engravers would put on a Barbra Streisand tape. They hated Barbra and they hated their boss. When the two were not around a special tape cassette was put in the boom box. The songs were sung in a country type genre, but the lyrics were unbelievably disgusting. They were songs about incest, and bestiality and beating the wife. That's what I listened to as the assholes chuckled. I hated every second I was there. Plus, I was barely able to pay rent and buy groceries. One of the young male employees recently had a baby who was born with cystic fibrosis. One day a cowo...

Due to another commitment I wasn't able to attend a No King's protest, but I was there in spirit. It was a beautiful sight to see all the awesome people in this country protest  peacefully and with so much dignity. It gives me hope because we are not giving up or giving in. I live in a red county where even our police department supported Trump last year. Our protest is in the park across the street from the police department. I'd love to see the look on these Trump lovers faces. I can only imagine what Magas, driving by think. Which leads me to this question. Why the fuck are Magas who voted for Trump still showing their faces in the media, whining about how they were tricked? This 👏is👏what👏you👏voted👏for. I was watching Parkergetajob , a young man on YouTube who likes to debate Magas. I rarely watch the channel because it's so depressing to listen to these people try and explain their support for the orange man. One woman admitted Trump is a money grubbing liar bu...

  So before I get into a controversial subject let me tell you about me and food. I love it. My body has seen more scales than the Flight of the Bumblebee. I'm 5'10". I have weighed as little as 118 pounds to a lot, lot more. Just to share one wretched incident, on a blind date the fellow asked me if I played football. Fat shaming is not necessary because we fatties know when we are fat. We also know being heavy is not healthy. I could lose a few pounds now because I feel it in my knees and sound like my father when he groaned as he stood up. Fat people have been in the news lately because Pete Hegseth and Dr. Oz have called them out, and I have to confess, they ain't wrong. Our National Guard should not be morbidly obese. More Americans are being diagnosed with diabetes two because of the highly processed crap we ingest. I could accumulate a nice plate of French fries for every time I heard an overweight person exclaim they are very happy with the extra pounds. And in...

  Ohio. It's really beautiful there. When I'm in Ohio I sometimes think of the Underground Railroad because it can get boring in Ohio and my mind wanders and I want to have good thoughts about this very red state. I visualize slaves escaping from the South, heading through Ohio farm fields to make their way to Canada.  Other than that, I hate Ohio. My parents are buried there. They lived nearly seventy years in Illinois and moved to Ohio so that my younger sister could care for them. She did this voluntarily and it would have been great except for the fact she was married to a conniving alcoholic who squandered their savings and lost the house my parents had worked their whole lives to find solace in their last remaining years. The last time I visited Ohio was before the November 5th election. There was sign after sign placed in front of homes in support of the orange man. There was even one, made from an old piece of plywood placed right in the driveway nearly touching the ma...

  Oh, those kids . Whaddya gonna do? These "kids" were between the ages of 24-35. They're not children and even if they were in their teens, is this behavior acceptable? JD Vance believes we are being absolutely ridiculous. So what if these young Republicans use the n-word, claim to love Hitler, would like gas chambers reinstalled, refer to black people as monkeys... Lol, come on, it's free speech, man. Vance tells us to grow up.  I don't think it has anything to do with being a child, although at a certain age, children will use vulgar words because they're curious. They want to feel that word, roll it around, understand why it's not acceptable and then they grow up because they realize to be a decent human being, you don't demean others. You don't wish for their annihilation. You don't degrade them by calling them names because at some point that feeling of superiority turns into a fetid wretch of a soulless human.  These people were not chil...

  Oh that guy, he's so compassionate and what a heartwarming memorial for Charlie Kirk. As Trump praises their surroundings, a former flower garden, now a plot of cement, he says this about Charlie. "He should have turned his head. Maybe he'd be alive now. I'm alive because I turned mine just at the right moment." Not his exact words, but the context is about right. Along with being such a callous statement, why would he move his head unless he was given fair warning? But, that's another story for another day. Dumb ol' Charlie, shoulda turned your head. And look at the Mrs., wiping her tear away. She even had the nerve to correct the president who said Charlie hated his enemies. Nah, Charlie loved them all, even when he called them subpar humans. As usual, it was all about Donald. He has zero capacity to think about anyone else. And he's sure Charlie is now in heaven, but the orange man isn't sure he'll see Charlie again. That's an interest...
