The tedious of tedium, but doing the right thing is seldom as enjoyable as doing the wrong, neé debt life. After a month of spending track, the illustrious Mr. Edelman suggests converting those dollar amounts to percentages to determine the percentage of total spending occurred in each category (i.e., each column’s dollar total divided by …

Clown Monkeys
This has officially become ridiculous. Would go shoot the poo-flinging monkey in the face but bullets be pricey. theKid asked for some random trinket-bauble-doodad on the thing with the stuff, said “yeh,” tried to process the magikal plastic and got denied. Wat. This is a six-figure household, waddaya mean “declined”? And to think this time …
Trading War
Well that seems like an evilitic idiot idea but gotta consider the source. Can’t say he didn’t keep his promise. Mexico, Canada, China, and – soon, possibly – the EU. Might as well just do a 100-percent tariff on everything from everywhere … what’s that Kings of Leon song “Radioactive”? Just drink the water … where …
Point:Missed / Target:Lost / Objective:Failed
Somewhat of a fan of Matt Walsh, a total troll but good for the interesting. Saw a reaction video of his (thanks, Tubes of You) whereby he felt outraged and righteous indignation at a subreddit “r/regretfulparents.” MattyDub basically concluded that the forum should not exist, that people choose to be happy or unhappy, and that …

Wow. Way to start the year with a bang. And a thump. New Year’s in New Orleans. Welcome to 2025. So rumor has it that ISIS (or “ISIS-inspired”?) decided to strike at the heart of debauched celebration …“Show us your … beads.” Although getting oneself merc’d by the cops sans manifesto seems a bit self-defeating. …
So Good to be So Right
2024. Over already. Good. This has been one colostomy-bag filled year. Met a face-tatted, poo-flinging monkey who completely derailed $$$ plans for the year, BUT but put a new roof on the home of the Elder, so the FDOs could have a solid covering. There is that. Had $11K (yes that is thousand) in vehicle …
Gloria Hallelujah
Recently informed that there was a struggle-rap creature by the name of “GloRilla” who apparently sings … “songs” … and “thrusts” … her … self across the stage in performances. Why is this a thing? Welp, the Ice Cream Social really needs to do a better job of policing its image, because when a young …
Tailspin
Have a Dear One working in the US public school system, and DO noted that plandemic babies are entirely, unequivocally screwed. That two+ years at home, no socialization, no in-class connection? These kids got Epsteined in the absolute worst way, and it will only get worser. DO works in/with early childhood development, and sees all …
Let’s Get Ready to Grumble
Called a lawyer to see about inflicting some financial injury on the face-tatted, poo-flinging monkey. Gah, doan wanna, but hey … don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing. Good news – bit of a packrat, so kept all communications, contracts, etc. And megeddit … times are tough for everyone. However. Why make it tougher on a …
Journey of A Thousand Steps Begins with Better Shoes
Before reaching a destination, must identify the starting point. On some level methinks has done a bit of this, but not in the correct/most effective way. Edelman’s rule? Four columns, many rows … Creditor name Balance owed Interest rate Minimum payment …
