Oh Monday, Monday... its moving day.
Monday, Monday, just packing up with no time to play.
Oh Monday Morning, my backache's warning, of what is to be.
Oh Monday morning, just close the door and leave the key...
Yeah, I know it needs work, but it is the best I could do on one mug of coffee ☕️

I may have missed the eclipse conspiracy train, so I'm adding this:
09:34 AM - Apr 12, 2024
I can't decide whether I should laugh or cry...with the serious problems facing my home state of TN. Yesterday, the state legislature debated & then voted to ban marriage between first cousins. Heads would explode if two, male first cousins showed up at a TN courthouse with a marriage certificate.

For the record...proof that the new clay studio had a clean floor at least one time. All bets are off once the clay and the wheel show up.

It took me an extra sip of coffee...but then I almost spewed coffee on my laptop, LOL 😉

*Begin whine here* I believe my Adult Onset Allergies seem to worsen every tree pollen season...and allergy meds make me feel like a Zombie. Are there any studies that connect allergies and allergy meds to depression? I'm at the "sick and tired of being sick and tired' stage. It sucks! *End whine*
06:49 AM - Apr 04, 2024
It has been a while since I posted any images of the home and art studio construction...with a bit of luck we'll be moving in a few weeks.

A world leader announces that he will be having hernia surgery... is it me, or does this sort of TMI belong somewhere besides the national news? I'd file it under "Bless His Pea-pickin' Heart" and move on. #NOTnews

I don't want to brag, BUT (this is usually where the 'brag' part starts)...for the 5th consecutive year, my NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament challenge bracket has broken into the ranks of the top 15 Million entries after the first day of play. 😉 At least I am consistent, right? LOL 🙄

It is sad to me that McConnell's sister-in-law's tragic death is newsworthy. There is plenty to go after the old geezer without sensational headlines that have nothing at all to do with the man.
09:44 AM - Mar 21, 2024
It has probably been this way for quite a while...but the whole "equal justice for all" appears to have notable exceptions for the guilty with significant wealth. #justsaying

My pity-party-whine: Adult-Onset Allergies hit about this time every year when the evil Bradford Pears bloom. I'm currently relegated to IFO (indoor fun only) for relief & within arms-reach of a box of tissues. If my grandmother/doctor's-wife were still living, I'd be sipping on "rock & rye" 🤧
01:37 PM - Mar 19, 2024
My best laugh, over Saturday morning coffee and sweet rolls... my adult daughter attempting to explain Blockbuster Video Stores to our 12 yr-old grand-daughter. You know that head-tilt look that Nipper, the RCA dog is famous for? Yep, it happened!! LOL ❤️

Final Honors for a Fallen Hero
At a hillside cemetery near the central Texas town of Gatesville, Sergeant Richard Rudd was finally laid to rest, nearly 80 years after he was killed in action. Attendance at the burial last December was light, as the late infantryman had few close relatives. The Army Honor Guard presented Rudd’s gr..

From reading the Atlantic story about the demise of the GOP and its evolution/revolution as a subsidary of Trump Inc. Might I suggest a name for the new political party, the "Trust In Trump Society"...the acronym is something I believe TFG could really grab onto. 🤔

I'm adding a square to my Bingo card this morning: "MTG files impeachment papers against Kansas City for NOT being in Kansas" *snark* 🙃

My takes from yesterday's Super Bowl Game:
1. Reba did OK with the national anthem (but not to the high bar set by Whitney Houston)
2. I found the RFK Jr ad embarrassing.
3. Taylor Swift was at the game...so were several thousand people.
4. The Chiefs won...and they are from Missouri, not Kansas 😉

If this ever made headlines, it would probably read "Only 11,000 Reported Deaths"...This isn't over regardless of how much we want it to be.

I have a headache from my cranium spinning like Linda Blair on The Exorcist...I overheard the following today at an adjacent table at a restaurant... "Why aren't there White Holidays?...there are so many holidays for OTHERS!". Yikes 🙄 (I hope my eyeroll was loud enough for her to hear it).

The general third of the population that has little to no common sense or reasoning skills is easily led to believe that nonsense, because they cannot believe ANYONE would prefer President Biden to FP45. They don't realize that nothing need be rigged for Democrats to win; only Republicans do that.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzySo let me see if I understand this correctly. Joe Biden and the Democrats rigged the NFL so the Kansas City Chiefs could win the Super Bowl and have Taylor Swift endorse Biden? lol...09:47 PM - Feb 02, 2024![GIF-Image]()

2 Threaded Spouts
Black History Month has arrived, & I learn more-and-more each year of the significant contributions of Black Americans. I am not proud that I am just now finding out significant contributions. It is more saddening that so much of this history never saw a history textbook in my history classes.
06:47 AM - Feb 01, 2024
I received an amazing pair of heated socks for my birthday...and after 40+ years working in technology, I am humbled that I had to read the directions and it still took me an hour to get the socks and the associated app to work. *big sigh* 🦖
06:13 AM - Jan 29, 2024
I've seen a couple of news/stories indicating that TFG will ban/blacklist anyone from the MAGA cult who donates to the Haley campaign...does this mean if someone gives $1 to her that they'll never have to deal with BS campaign emails from TFG ever again?? -(Asking for a friend, of course 😏)
01:15 PM - Jan 25, 2024
Definitely check this video out.
One of the smoothest takedowns so far this year.
Watch the lady's response. 😂

In the Mid-South, 8F is seriously cold...How Cold is that?, one asks??
02:59 PM - Jan 16, 2024
Winter in the mid-South of the USA is generally pretty short (in terms of nasty weather)...well, it is here now. 15F (-9C) and 7"+ snow...plus more coming. My septuagenarian bones will be hibernating. See you later in my blanket fort with the grands.
12:22 PM - Jan 15, 2024
My first day of pseudo-retirement...I slept late. 'Did not get out of bed until 5am...that probably needs some work, huh? LOL 🤔
10:28 AM - Jan 06, 2024
Today is my last 'full-time' work day before transitioning to retirement & 'part-time' work at my university. I have heard of people who do not 'retire well'...well, here I am... the septuagenarian poster child for workaholics who will begin studying this 'retirement' thing. Wish me luck! LOL 😉
