Just cast my ballot for the midterms, and got struck with the thought that voting is akin to pissing in the ocean and expecting the sea levels to rise. But, promised an Elder I would, so I did. {Matthew 22:21} Methinks it used to be really, really important, which is why white people insisted black …
Career, Cats & Companionship
Tucker got puckered (how has no one used this?!?) re sum of the Dums (see, e.g., fumble-tongued Stacey Adams—gonna lose this one too Boo) suggesting that the solution to inflation is to (drum roll, please) … not have kids. Many folks are waaaayyyy ahead on this. Recent report from somewhere someplace says that more young …
And Now for Some Good News/Sort of
Back in 2000, a deaf couple was sued in VA court by their landlord for back rent … $250. Turns out, when the couple got married, they lost some of their government benefits (coz heaven forfend the disabled—oops! “differently abled” — should find love and want state recognition of it) and as a result could …
False Flag? Anyone? Anyone?
Well isn’t this interesting. The major/main bridge linking Crimea to Russia got blown up on 10.8, which just happened, coincidentally, to have some fuel trucks on the train tracks below. Putin decried the act, said the Ukrainianisms did it. Right. Then Putin dropped missiles into civilian areas around the capital of Ukraine. In retaliation. For …
I Stand Corrected (Maybe)
Not that I really care, or that it matters, but methinks since I had an opinion, I should … adjust it where/when necessary. Those people that I did not know and cared nothing about? That news burp that gave me mental indigestion? Foolish woman? Foolisher man? Whelp, seems that he died for being all shiny, …
Along Came a Spider
Once I ate/drank a spider. Aside from being entirely horrifying it actually wasn’t all that bad. Crunchy. Anyways, there’s some news going around about the Celtics head coach banging the wife of a Celtics exec. Not. A smart move. Unlicensed whoobanging with (one of) the boss’s wife? And you thought maybe you wouldn’t get fired? …

Read an article the other day (really, really should stop doing that) about this mom of a transgender teen identifying as female (hereinafter referred to as “Tif”) who was … chagrined and bereft that the world did not conform to her child’s gender dysfunction.

Failures of the Modern Age
One of my monkeys is being fed a very strict, very regimented diet … same feeding time, portions are weighed and measured before serving … the entire process is actually automatic, so I don’t have to look at that monkey anymore because it disgusts me. The plan was to feed that monkey its minimums on …
Salmon & Salt (and butter pats)
theKid actually complimented the cooking, so going to share that with you (Other Person, You). Here … eat this! Salmon & Salt Two (or more) fresh or defrosted filets, wild-caught salmon (or farm raised but ewwww) 2 cups – teriyaki sauce ½ C – soy sauce ½ C – minced garlic (mmmm, garlic) ¼ C …
Sibling … Rivalry?
I am one of many. There’s an Elder, an Heir, an Afterthought, and a Partial. Elder, of course, is awesome, as an eldest should be. Mini-adult, little Grown, from early on. Heir is … well, Heir. Entitled, selfish, as expected. Afterthought should not exist, as Partial, but both do, for whatever reason. Afterthought is one …
