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 …
Knew Forgot Something
Wow that was a lot. Guess I had a feelin’. Whew, much better now. Back to … yeah. Anywhoots, GOD reminded me to not spend and if spend do so wisely. Methinks me’d been doing that, but in my head alone. (Well with all the residents but we don’t talk to the others unless they shout) …
The Trouble with Balls
Found a great documentary on the Tubes of You … “The Red Pill,” with a woman (self-described feminist) as documentarian. Excellent job, BTW. Al Pacino is old enough to be dead at this point, but in the 70’s/80’s (that’s 1900s for You young whippersnappers – and what is a “whippersnapper,” exactly? Don’t mean to offend …
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 …
Not Only in Florida
Down in ‘Murrica’s DownUnder (oh, Florida) a parentless, jobless, spouseless 16-year-old girl who was mature enough to petition the court for an abortion was denied permission to get one because she wasn’t sufficiently mature to make the decision to terminate her pregnancy. Making her a mom seems to be the right call. The wizened court …
Liz for Prez
Liz Cheney just got fired … for standing up to the nonsense. Guess some folks (particularly those in Wyoming – go figure) would rather live a lie than accept the truth. Trump lost, for heavens’ sake, and he’s such a manbaby that he cannot accept the reality of his unpopularity … I mean, when 80 …
Reassessed
After reviewing the poopshow that was spending in July, methinks me now knows … Wow! I spend a lot of money! Which means, I have a lot to spend. Which means, I can arrange a spending plan (budgets suck! budgets don’t work!) to spend less. Following instructions. Don’t spend … and when spend, spend smart. …
Eternally Safe
Didja see Death Valley flooded? Had eleventy-hunnert inches of rain fall in 42 seconds or whatever. Nice. It’s also 500 degrees in India, Pakistan, and the Middle East, soon to become real estate that is incompatible with human life. Read somewhere that we (humans we) can only tolerate a max temp of 120° F / …
Can’t Afford v Can’t Pay
Methinks I should fully acknowledge that without Half and steady income, homelessness (houselessness? unhousedness?) is a very real possibility. There was some statistic somewhere that claimed nearly half of Americans are a single paycheck away from the street. Really? Just one? Not quite there yet … got some assets to pawn, some goods to hock, …
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 …
