We're hoping that a few of our aid angels might continue to help us out each month.

$12 after PP fees and the exchange rate is about $10. It's going to be lean here until we can catch up on our monthly bills.

4 or 5 people giving $10 makes a huge difference!

Trump reminds me of my late step-father who was convinced Dick Cheney was writing to him personally to ask for help because Cheney's signature was on the letters.
He really thinks he won something!

I'm a loose canon, baby, I do what I want with no regard for your rules.

Like right now. I'm in the bathroom with the water running, humming "Baby, It's Cold Outside".

Next month is going to be a real nail biter.

The water bill is going to be a shocker with the leaks we've had and the one night it popped and basically ran full force onto the ground for several hours.

Last month's bill was USD$7. This month's with leaks was $45. Next month? I'm scared to think.

Who includes subs for 3 of 4 shows in a 4 show series?!

And James May, no less! He's one of the few "personalities" that I can stand. He's just "old guy funny".

I've downloaded 2 Episode 4 files and neither have the subs while the other 3 do.

I curse your kids! Your allotment! Your socks!

Stephen Miller is so powerful now that he's openly mocking Dozy Donnie and hurting his image *on purpose*.

I mean, forget Vance - everyone else has - Stephen Miller is now de facto President. Dozy Donnie has scrawled off on every Miller policy and given him all of the power of the Executive.

Remember the 90s? They really did happen and there really was a phase when everything had a "clear" version from soda to laundry soap. And then there was Zima Clearmalt.

Tees, v-necks, scoop necks, long sleeved shirt, or hoodie!

Kim Kardashian has next to no brain activity because she doesn't have any friction in her life. She doesn't have the brain program always running in the background trying to solve problems like paying rent or buying groceries or being laid off. So congratulations to the rest of us on active brains

I am very proud of myself still for having taken the bus to work a few times each month.

Wrangling the schedules and transfers and having to walk to my other buildings was a pain but an accomplishment.

"Major League jabbos!" he cried at the woman on the corner.

No, of course not. But he sure felt compelled to comment it in the photo of actresses and models on Facebook. 🙄

No one was taught respect for others or themselves after about 1980, it seems.

The man with no schtick. Maybe that could be my schtick. 🤔

$100 later and the POS Beko is re-re-re-repaired.
Fridge Klugemen want 6,000 to fix the Beko ($100). Bad solder job by the Authorized Helltech.

So far my wife has left me miffed by:

1: opening the peanut butter and assaulting that perfect, smooth top before me and for the Klugemen to have sandwiches no less, and

2: cooking them what smells like tocino

Damn. They'll have P6,000 of our money soon enough for snacks, woman!!

Sadly, it's a thumbs down from me on the Sunpride Mandarin Chorizo.

They have an off taste to them though they're fully cooked and shelf stable. I'm truth, they don't taste much different than the other "Chinese" sausages I've had. A shame.

They're new so maybe they'll change/improve the flavor.
I had Chinese sausage on the list because I like it in lugaw (congee). So my wife got 3 kinds.

Two are made by national Big Meat maker Virginia and the other is made by Sunpride. They're all "shelf stable" and only need to be kept.cold to extend their use or after they've been opened.

Ears successfully lowered.

2nd shopping scheduled for Sunday.

Electronics guy coming to kluge a fix maybe for our POS Beko side by side.

I hope so.

So Trump told Marge the Fibbies had the goods on her and she had to resign or go to prison.

Once she did, they pinned the pipe bomb planting on some schmuck.

Ain't DC grand?

Have yourself a 70s little Christmas. Or 80s. Or 90s.

Get a cool logo tee, hoodie or sweatshirt. But hurry! Christmas is almost here!

I had a good day.

Went to the bank and did the Social Security thing. The wait wasn't too bad. Bought a new bed pillow.

Went to McDonald's for the first time since Jack was a lad. The food was not good. Crowded as fuck and serving cold food?

Went grocery shopping and got about half of our need.
