So kinda right, just going about it all wrong. Sounds/seems familiar. Funnily enough, Mr. Edelman suggests (strongly) that the solution to getting out of debt is … more debt. HA! Love being right. Still hurts, tho’. So the suggestion is to get one more credit(debt) card and place all expenses to it, pay it off …
Purposefully Purposed
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 …
There Can Be Only Five
Been a bit of a while. Time to circle back … The wise Mr. Edelman enumerates several categories of expenses to track spending (spending PLAN, remember? … spending PLAN …) [see p.303] Just a few examples. Notably absent, however, are housing costs. And while upon first glance may seem helpful but gets a bit down …
Cook Dem Kids
There’s a monster in West Virginia. The absolute worst type of “human,” at least in the context of a carbon life-form. Any questions of moral integrity, basic decency, and capacity for empathy left open for later consideration. Kenny Cook sexually abused, violated, and molested his daughter beginning at the age of nine, and she wound …
Tense Past
OK so this right here is a conscious, decisive effort to be apolitical, asocial, aracial (is that a thing? yes? no? No matter), agendered … all of that. Easier to hate everything and everyone equally. Keeps it simple. But must say … the ancestral progenitors of the ICS are flexing mad raucous these days. OK, …
And for More News of/in the Apocalypse …
Well this is … 2025. And, apparently, there is an interstellar object hurtling towards Momma Earth at about 130K/MPH, and none of the really big brains knows what it is. Troubling. But a bit of a thrill too. Deep Impact is one of the faves (do love a good ELE flick) although methinks some large, …

The Really Real Reason
Read an interesting … treatise? … manifesto? … screed? … whatever, thought it was excellent, about the actual reason for RTO when WFH works/ed so very, very well. Don’t need to drive if staying at home. Chevron … BP … Exxon … all had reduction in profits when folks stayed home, that and commercial real …
Giggly Bits
Enough of the doom gloom … Dilly-dilly! Off with his head! Dilly, dilly. “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” “I didn’t ask for the anal probe.” “Ididn’t askfor the anal probe.” “I didn’t askfor the anal probe.” 1. Every time a deck of cards is shuffled it results in …

Law #18 – Dangerously Alone
Off the eastern coast of India in the Bay of Bengal reside a people on North Sentinel Island … primitive, reclusive, hostile, … and violent. In 2018, a Christian missionary named John Chau attempted to contact the Sentinelese and spread the Gospel. The last confirmed sighting was of his dead body being dragged away by …
