I Said A Teddy Bear- Not A Water Bear!

 

My homemade advent calendar 

I admit I am a terrible gift giver. In the past I've given homemade presents which end up at garage sales or the Goodwill. So, I have stopped making crafts for gifting. This year only a very select group of people will receive anything from me. Gift cards are usually received with pleasure. For some reason, socks are a big hit and of course, food- the junkier the better. I'm pretty much done with my shopping but still waiting on one certain item for my reusable advent calendar I did make myself. Thinking I could save a few bucks I decided I'd use things around the house. I just needed a few things- like twelve mini Pringles containers, glue, paint, sprinkles, marshmallows, foil, wrapping paper and of course, twelve gifts to put inside. I'm waiting for the piece de resistance to top my calendar, the removable Santa ornament. Naturally I spent too much and it still looks homemade, but I'm a crafter and this I might toss after Christmas.

But, if you're not into homemade gifts and have some coin to spend, how about a human dog bed!? They run from $70-$100.


I suppose if you have room in your house, like before the big screen tv, why not? It'll be an interesting party topic. "Is that your dogs bed!? Wow! Uh, where is it?"

Here are a few interesting items I found on the Walmart website. I do think tardigrades are cute, but who would want this? "I wanted a teddy bear, not a water bear!? Waaaaaaaahhh."





I did say expendable money, so for the person who you thought had everything how about a whale fountain for a mere $219,000?


And this- because ya gotta spend good money on ridiculous stuff to be cool. 



Hey, don't sweat it if you don't have the money this year. And unlike me, there are talented people who can make amazing creations, so don't hesitate to pull out the paint and scissors. Also, buy local. Always.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

An Empty Vessel

He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.
