This nation will never be clean. The stain is embedded in the fabric. Methinks me must agree with the losers on this: tearing down Confederate monuments is not the right/smart move. What about Stone Mountain? Gonna blast the face of that rock? Might as well do Mount Rushmore, too. The crimes against humanity are basically …

Who Teaches Foster Kids to Tie Their Shoes?
Maybe they just get those Velcro closures. But who buys them? Speaking of … one of theKid’s teammates at a fairly-recent sporting display had to have Mom tie this kid’s shoes. Now, this kid was within the same age realm as theKid … too old for diapers, not quite tween … and yet had absolutely …

Moderately Moderate in Moderation
Briefly perused (wat? “pear”? “yoused”? ENGLISHMAKESNOSENSE) an article about how to shop for the holidays without breaking the budget (that’s ‘cuz budgets don’t work and waste my time) and suggested that folks plan ahead, make a list of gift-receivers, decide the gift, then shop for sales. Oh, wait. That sounds like a SPENDING PLAN. See? …
Spicy, Meat-Flavored Rice
I checked the Jungle Shop, and of course it’s sold there (even in a pack of 12!) if not at the local grocery. Stuff is good. But more importantly – easy. Dinner in a box. What better? Zatarain’s Jambalaya is the awesomeness of awesome. theKid likes it. Half likes it. All my problems solved. Except …
Giveth, but Cannot Taketh
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA love it Riley Gaines? You go … woman Apparently, the CryptKeeper and his woke minions want to change Title IX to force schools receiving federal funds to let TIFs play against actual women in competitive sports. Umm, no. Mz. Riley protested the potential policy change at the congressional hearing and was branded as “transphobic” …
A Flying Building? Really?
Well that was entertaining. But Steve always (well, mostly … almost) is. Hearts in Atlantis made no sense. Anyhoo … One of the things I like best about Stephen King’s writing is how so many of his protagonists are young boys/men, right on the cusp of adulthood. Must be some lingering trauma there, but makes …
Dumpster Fire
Well that’s what we call a gloriously beautiful catastrophic failure. Like a plane crash. Or slow-motion car wreck. Drone footage of a train derailment. Sexy carnage. But, to quote the Martha, and that’s a good thing. Took a minute, but found some balls nearby and decided to take the hit, broached the subject of the …
The Four Horsemen of Consumption
Only four things to do with the thing after spending money on the thing. Use it. Sell it. Gift it. Toss it. Most folks will use/consume it – whatever it is – for a bit then either give/gift it to someone else, try to sell it in exchange for cash/(rarely) trade, or throw it away …
6-In-One
All this talk of money inspired an idea … and we know Who that came from (hehYES). So every household has income and expenses … even if one severely outweighs the other, they are still that. And presuming that if one must work with another adult to manage the aforesaid household, both parties on the …
Money Money Money Muuhh-ney … MUHHHHN-NAAAAYYY
Did not truly appreciate the fact until I read this book, but … companies and governments run exactly the same. Not with the same purpose … contrary to what Mr. Potatohaid says/thinks, can’t run a country like a business. No, rather government (or gub’mint, to be consistent) and private enterprise need money to function … …
