Spam calls are bad enough, even with the alert that it is spam. Some jerk has figured out how to bypass my default ringtone and now calls in with the "Wiggle Wiggle " ringtone. I block him but have received 5 calls from different Illinois numbers and one each from TN, WI, and NJ numbers.

Sorry to be an American right now. ❤️Canada🍁. My comfort is in the fact that my 2nd Great-grandpa, James Lanegan was born in Rustico P.E.I. Nova Scotia, Canada in 1833. He was a whaling man before moving his family to Wisconsin around 1870. It is so hard to be optimistic when you are heartsick.

This happened years ago, when hubby (who hated cabbage and didn't want me to cook it) left for business trip.
Child #1: Dad, don't leave. She'll cook cabbage again!
Now - two divorces later, I am having Colcannon for my dinner tonight. ☘️☘️☘️😉 Happy St. Patrick's Day.

For all those MAGAts who would rather be Russian than Democrat....be careful what you wish for. You have let an evil genie out of the bottle.

Hegseth is not thinking this through. If you get rid of diversity in your soldiers, you are left with a draft for poor white boys. The rich ones will have a heel spur epidemic. So, all those Cos-play MAGAts will have to go shoot at something for real.

I've recently gotten hooked on "plane-spotting" for LAX, O'Hare, Midway (close to my house) and Heathrow. Right now, I am watching a very windy November day at Heathrow. I didn't know the big A-380 double-decker monster planes could nearly do a Tokyo drift on the runway. it's called "crabbing".

I am just wondering how many non-voters are my age, who grew up listening to George Carlin. He had a lot of insight on government corruption and gas-lighting, but he never voted. He said voting was meaningless. How sad. He had a big voice that could have done a lot of good and he blew it.

I used to think that if I ever opened up a resale shop, I would call it, "Dead People's Stuff" until I found out there already is one.

There are 4 voters in my house, age 73, 62, 36, and 25. We all voted straight Dem up and down the ticket. How can 1/3 of the voting age population not care about who makes the laws that rule their lives? I am as mad 😠 at shirks as I am at MAGAts.

If you have Alice Cooper's "Love It to Death" or Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" albums, I may have made those. In 1971-72, I worked in the press room at Columbia Records in Terre Haute. I made many others, but those two are the ones I remember from my first night on the job.

Are you thinking about going back to school, changing careers, learning an instrument or leaving a psycho-shithead toxic partner? Then, follow this advice from Wolfgang Von Goethe.
"Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

If you are well past college age and thinking about going back to school, Do It! I went back at 54, got a 3.5 GPA and aced 2 semesters of Statistics. I read "How to Lie with Statistics" by Darrell Huff. It left me with a healthy skepticism of data pushed by the media and politicians.

I am no photographer, but I do like to look at other peoples' photos of abandoned places These two pics are City Methodist Church in Gary, Ind. I was married there in 1971. My walk down the aisle was a block long. The church was used for the sanctuary scene in Transformers 3, Dark of the Moon.

I had mild stroke in 2010 but mostly recovered well. Thursday I was in a shop and when the clerk heard my Scottish name, she said she was Scottish, too. Three time I said "Real men wear quilts" before I could say the word "kilts." Damn aphasia.

Nobody around here is any fun, but twice I have lived next to neighbors from Mexico, and they had the best backyard parties. The music, the food, the big screen tv were just the tip of the iceberg. Mrs. Guerra loaned me her beaded silk wedding dress made in Mexico City. I ❤️ her. Miss her.
