Feels a bit like being trapped in the cycle … vortex, perhaps? … of debt, repayment, debt, repayment, ad nauseum, ad infinitum. OK, so the Elder needed work done on the house … had plenty of cash / wait. Back up. The Familial DOs currently living in the home of Elder mentioned a few issues …
Easy Access
One friendly aspect of our highly-digitized times is that there are intro apps to the world of investing, which is actually sorta cool. Carbon dating myself a bit here but remember the commercials – “My broker is E.F. Hutton, and E.F. Hutton says …” and everyone would stop what they were doing, ‘cuz he’s about …
Latest, Not So Greatest
Had to step away from the ongoing personal saga that is this life for a bit. Still ongoing, but in a bit of a hiatus. So the face-tweaking monkey poo claims to have contracted the “virus,” unable to work right now (right), promises to get back at it as soon as. I will be sure to …
Breaking Buck
Never been a big fan of slave porn. Roots Amistad Glory 12 Years a Slave Although, must admit Django was surprisingly … surprising. An actual (albeit wholly fictional) happy ending. Bit blatant that Django didn’t actually get to kill Calvin Candy … the German got to do that, so there’s that. …
And the Saga Continues … But Y Tho’?
This is … almost, but not quite, sorta-not, not even … funny. Sigh. So it’s raining (again) and while rain is almost always welcome, not so much right in the now. Face-tatted, poo-flinging monkey person is still on site, claiming rain will delay even further, and constantly looking/asking/begging for cash … “Can’t finish without … …
A Riddle, Wrapped in Mystery, Swaddled with Enigma, Excreting WTF
OK so the Elder has a brand-new roof … hopefully it won’t leak. Wasn’t planning on a new roof … no spending plan for a new roof … but got one, anyway. After discovering black mold and dry rot, the face-tatted monkey hump that is this person managed to get more $$$ from me than …

Poo-Flinging, Face-Tatted, Club-Footed Monkey
OK not mad, exactly. Just perplexed. A bit irritated. Confused, as to this. OK so there are not one but two two holes in the ceiling … one of which due to gross negligence, the other to … idiocy? Morons moving through the world? Stupidity just strutting about? Yah, methinks so. OK so face-tatted “guy” …

Face-tatted Monkey
Not sure what’s going on here. OK, so: backstory. The Elder has brain disease and a house. Can’t do much about the worms invading the skullbox but the house is a can-do, methought. Got some familial tenants residing, keeping eyes on things … good for them, good for all. Anyhoo. House needs some TLC … …
Talk Left / Live Right, or What I Said is Not What I Do
Well isn’t that interesting. Article by Brad Wilcox in the Atlantic discussed a book called, “Get Married,” and how the college-educated espouse alternative family types without actually embracing those alternatives themselves. Finish education. Establish career. Get married. Have kids. In that order. Although those selfsame folks claim bastardizing children is no big deal, they themselves …

Whelps, now that we’re into, what, year 3? of training our debt monkeys in this here credit circus, where do things stand? Ehhh … could be better, but we are better than worse, so there’s that. Basically, threw some significant bananas to starve out a bunch of monkeys, so … happy about that. Had to …
