It's All Relative

 


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 food around a table, one of those gimmicks you see in Japanese restaurants. The description stated what you'd get, plus even showed a picture of a full set that turns on and goes around the table. Fun! I ordered it and surprisingly received a package a week later, all the way from China. As I opened it I said to myself, "Self, this can't be it." Four little cars on a two foot long track was all there was- and it came from a guy named, Jerry, from California. 

Right now I'm waiting for my Disclosure Day popcorn bucket that is being "prepared." It's been in the preparing process for three weeks now. I had previously tried to order this much needed item from another company who cancelled the sale. I think this is where the scam doth come into play.

This also happened to me on eBay. You find a product that is suspiciously low in price, order it and never hear from them again. I think it's like a bank or a pyramid scheme. They sell nothing, receive money and make a living in a loop of deception. My popcorn bucket is expected to arrive in early July. I'm guessing I'll never see it. Big businesses need to be a bit more diligent regarding these third party scammers. It's not all bad. Thriftbooks sells through Walmart and I don't have to pay for shipping because I'm a member. On their website I need to order a certain amount to get free shipping. Yeah, who's the scammer now, pal? Me, that's who. 

We're all chasing the cheap, all looking for an easy buck. Some will sell dirty vacuums, others, their dead relative. Anyway, I hope the ashes go somewhere nice. 

Gee, I think that was carpet remains in my vacuum. 😬

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...

The Best Books Of All Time?

Image
  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

Image
  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...
