I’m old enough to remember the gas lines from the 70’s but too young to have felt any actual pain from them. My Elder had to remember the vehicle license place and the days those plates could get gas (odd/even) Inflation sucks. But it’s a good thing … (should) make folks spend less or not …

Slaves to the Rhythm (of Life)
Found a delicious bit of foolishness recently … the innernets is truly the gift that just keeps giving. Don’t want to insult the Ice Cream People, but this guy was … mistaken, uninformed, and unprepared. Not a good look. Apparently, this person — who advertised himself as an Ice Cream Person — embraces the demonic, …
Road Less Traveled
I don’t actually hate my job; I just hate having to do it. If I could get a do-over, that’d be great. Methinks I’m more “black nails” than “white collar,” but me Elder insisted on formalized schoolin’, so here I be. Should have been an auto mechanic. Or a doctor, with a specialty in sterilization. …
“Debt-Based” Lifestyle = Debased?
There are times I find myself (was I ever lost? Ohhhh yessss) wandering the shopping aisles, perusing about for goods&services for fam and self and ultimately leaving the store/marketplace with nothing. How nice. Don’t spend. If spend, spend wisely. No better advice. thank YOU!!! If I’m still thinking about the whatever thing on the seventh …
The Opposite of Progress is … ?
Just cast my ballot for the midterms, and got struck with the thought that voting is akin to pissing in the ocean and expecting the sea levels to rise. But, promised an Elder I would, so I did. {Matthew 22:21} Methinks it used to be really, really important, which is why white people insisted black …
Career, Cats & Companionship
Tucker got puckered (how has no one used this?!?) re sum of the Dums (see, e.g., fumble-tongued Stacey Adams—gonna lose this one too Boo) suggesting that the solution to inflation is to (drum roll, please) … not have kids. Many folks are waaaayyyy ahead on this. Recent report from somewhere someplace says that more young …
And Now for Some Good News/Sort of
Back in 2000, a deaf couple was sued in VA court by their landlord for back rent … $250. Turns out, when the couple got married, they lost some of their government benefits (coz heaven forfend the disabled—oops! “differently abled” — should find love and want state recognition of it) and as a result could …
I Stand Corrected (Maybe)
Not that I really care, or that it matters, but methinks since I had an opinion, I should … adjust it where/when necessary. Those people that I did not know and cared nothing about? That news burp that gave me mental indigestion? Foolish woman? Foolisher man? Whelp, seems that he died for being all shiny, …
Along Came a Spider
Once I ate/drank a spider. Aside from being entirely horrifying it actually wasn’t all that bad. Crunchy. Anyways, there’s some news going around about the Celtics head coach banging the wife of a Celtics exec. Not. A smart move. Unlicensed whoobanging with (one of) the boss’s wife? And you thought maybe you wouldn’t get fired? …
Salmon & Salt (and butter pats)
theKid actually complimented the cooking, so going to share that with you (Other Person, You). Here … eat this! Salmon & Salt Two (or more) fresh or defrosted filets, wild-caught salmon (or farm raised but ewwww) 2 cups – teriyaki sauce ½ C – soy sauce ½ C – minced garlic (mmmm, garlic) ¼ C …
