I don’t get angry. I may be frustrated, or disappointed, or all manner of exasperated and disgusted, but … I don’t get angry. GOD told me a long time ago that I can’t fix anyone but myself, so let it (whatever “it” is) go. However. May have mentioned somewhere around these parts that theKid is …
Baby Blues
Read a funny story the other day. Not funny in the sense of high hilarity, but in the sense of “laugh or scream.” Guy got a vasectomy. Then the wife got pregnant. Suitably outraged at being married to a harlot, the man demanded a paternity test and a divorce. Oops. Turns out, the kid was …
Thankful, Grateful
Didn’t get anything for Christmas. No matter. Not my birthday (heh) theKid and Half were well-provisioned, which is really what/who matters, and JESUS was likely born in the spring anyway, so … For a minute there, decided to dispense with the whole “celebration” of Christmas, felt it a little too pagan for its purposes, but …
Intolerance for Everyone!
Just read a news blurb re a restaurant’s denial of service to a Christian group. Said the restaurant was committed to inclusivity and the waitstaff would feel uncomfortable, based on the group’s views. Is not that not what that is? Hmmm … Heard a radio confession where a woman thought she and her husband had …
It’s Official; I Have No Actual Clue
TheKid had dying rear for three days after consuming some takeout that was, as theKid would say, “sus.” Lost four pounds. As a walking, talking, bouncing string bean, theKid does not have that to lose. Prior to the episodic runny butt had scheduled an appt to take theKid to a dietician, so the timing was, …
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 …
Not Ready for This
Half damaged theKid. Not intentionally. Not permanently. No visit to the ER/urgent care (yaaaaay insurance!) theKid’s fine. But still. Half owned the damage, claimed total fault, made apologies, hugs all around. But still. Children are completely at the mercy of their parents. Unless/until the damage is bad enough for the state to step in, children …
Bodies of Resources
Took me a while, but I finally got it. Women want men to share their resources, and men want women to share their bodies. Huh. The real disparity? A woman’s body is only valuable for about 10-20 years, depending. Beauty, youth, fertility. Immutables. After that, it’s all downside. But men? Men are limited in their …
End of Month
Well that was a bummer … onto debt! May have mentioned around these parts that Half and the other half have an … untraditionally traditional lifestyle. See, Half handles the life/life-sustaining obligations (mortgage, lights, heat, cable/internet — which, funnily enough, is the highest bill after shelter … go figure who knew) and me, the other …
Failure Complete?
Whelp, THAT didn’t work. Just got a summons and complaint for one of my monkeys, a particularly large one at that, and here I thought I was awaiting settlement terms. Well, hell. A problem, but not insurmountable. Settlement (ah-hem satisfaction) is still an option, likely just for more than originally hoped. Ah well. Half is …
