WEEKLY RANT As I pull all the stops to pay off the Anderson bill (one year same as cash) I will admit the windows do keep out the street noise-including those pesky little sirens that warn of impending disaster. The creditor that Anderson uses charges an exorbitant amount of interest to the unwary, hence the mandate to pay it off before its time. At what point is it called usury? They also start charging interest a month before the first bill is due-also tricky tactics. Anyone who knows me well, knows I have the assets, I just don't like to pay before it's time. And I never do interest. Financial discipline has its perks.
Speaking of hidden talents. Due to my Mother's influence, I also know "what" constitutes cleaning a room, I just don't want to do it. Hence the housekeeping crew once a month for bigger jobs who are due tomorrow which prompts my straightening up of general areas to keep them focused on the big stuff. But with my new eagle eyes, the things they don't do drive me crazy. Who doesn't dust the top of things, clean under the soap dish, clean behind the toilet (and the bottom of the toilet seat btw) but my shelf of knick-knacks gets a personalized dusting every time. Why not dust the ceiling fan blades as meticulously? And I won't even go into the nicks on my sensitive stove and dining room breakfront finishes. I believe their motto is everything as fast as possible, damage be damned. But my shower stalls and floors get washed so that's the trade-off. Though my criticisms would prompt the question of "I'd rather do it myself" one of the realities of progressive arthritis is the limited amount of physical energy you have in a day which goes downhill as the day goes on and activity increases. That's why I'm a morning person LOL.
DONE GONE ROGUE Two middle-school girls are having a hissy fit and though we hate to be juvenile, we're loving it. Now marmie's threatening consequences if muscilage does anything for democrats. Who's winning? Up for debate. Who's losing? Republicans backing the wrong horse....again. Interesting to attack the richest man in the world who has to be a shred brighter than his foe. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile the orange man has brought the army to town-national guard and marines on alert. Right out of the 2025 project playbook. Incite a riot (since the LAPD said they were handling it fine) then escalate it. Don't take the bait California. And his weird ass command that protesters do not wear masks; when ironically it seems like we need to strip the combat gear and masks off the J-6 felons filling out the icy rank. And party boy of the DOD threatening to send in the army on OUR OWN PEOPLE! mr hypocrisy sends in troops that were not asked for but allowed people to be injured and die when under his watch, as he called no troops on January 6. He doesn't "care" about the people if anyone had any doubts.
Peaceful protest people. That is how we won in the war for civil rights-lock arms-chant -no fires, no looting. Marmie had a bad week (muskie, China, courts) and he wants an excuse so go ahead, make him crazy with non-violent protest.
Right up there with defunding Sesame Street, attacking prestigious universities with their ground-breaking research and development projects, deporting scientists. The idea is to dumb down America as a dictator's greatest fear is an educated public. Democracy is messy, uncomfortable and totally worth it.
DOCTOR DOCTOR To say it's getting confusing as the OH and I juggle different doctors, specialties, appointments is an understatement. And every single one of them, even in the same system, have their own, as they amusingly call it, customer portal for messages, questions, information--pretty much anything for one to make intelligent decisions from. And every stinking one does not work as soon as I leave the office where I set it up! Spent an entire day and a half trying to get answers from the OH's arthritis doctor on the latest med only to find out I was calling the wrong damn place! Which if their "friendly" patient portal had worked I would have found out hours earlier. It also appears everyone is working on "summer hours" so that much more fun tracking anybody down.
When you're up to your ass in alligators, wave your hands/paws in the air like you just don't care...
