 Friends         | I was educated and worked as an archaeologist; I have traveled to many parts of the world & speak many languages. That's just me. I guess I can be an elitist: sometimes I joke about classic cinema, switch languages in the middle of a sentence, and reference works of literature. In fact, on the wall of my livingroom is a framed 16x20 print of the last two paragraphs of the Great Gatsby. I also have a rather large white queen chess piece in that particular corner. Other times I'm completely immature and giggle a lot. I'm a real time owned submissive and do not seek anything else; especially from "online Doms." I am not a switch nor do I wish to be so - please don't PM me to ask if I like submissive men or if I'll "dom" you. Since I am female, the word would be "domme." BDSM is a lifestyle, not random kinky sex. In general, I am drawn to Dominant men and men with worldly experiences - even just for friendships. I have nothing in common with people who have never traveled outside of their state. Although I am liberal, I really don't care if you are conservative - just do not even try to refrence Fox News, what was posted on Twitter, or said in the parking lot of a landscaping company wedged between a crematorium and dildo store. Could there be a more apt location for a feral Trumpster to hold a press conference? Still laughing at the unintended symbolism of holding a press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping. My general outlook on people is best summerized by a line of lyrics by Nirvana: I wish I was like you: easily amused. I quilt a lot and belong to a very conservative Christian church. On the other hand, I'm a radical feminist. In summary, I'm a delicious mix of dichotomies. Oh, and I love the Yankees.

My extended family and I have collectively lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Stock Market crashing recently. This video made me feel much better. youtube.com/shorts/d5RfqhiuT4o?si=e6d9-FZAhrNO3p4A View all 9 posts  Did anyone watch the video. 🙄 I'm okay, the basic rule of investing is don't invest more than you can stand to lose. My uncle who lost the most actually invested more after January 20th, so FAFO. He lectured me about how Trump and Elon are going to make us more money. He graduated from the Naval Academy and was career. I even mentioned the suckers and losers comment and he said it was taken out of context. 🙄 Hmm, Mt. Spur, in Alaska, is expected to erupt in the next few weeks. It's near (sorta) Anchorage. I hope they are okay cause there's no FEMA. Pretty sure Alaska has gone solid red in the last billion elections. All 3 electoral votes. Hmm, FAFO. View all 6 posts Today a woman at church spazzed on me for saying I hope Elon is aboard next time 😂. She said I should never wish someone dead. I told her "I never actually said I wished him dead I said I hope he's aboard his own rocket. I don't even wish Trump dead,: I just hope McDonald's does its job". I thought she was gonna pass out 😂  I can't stand people like that. Yeah, people were also "bad" for wishing Hitler dead. Not republicans, of course. But decent people. Well, I just called the Ukrainian Embassy to leave an apology for the way Zelinsky was treated and for the fact that America has abandoned her allies and snuggled up to the Axis powers My day was complete at 10am today. I "made" a 3-year old cry and had the nerve to not apologize and change my attitude. Not only did I give her a choice to sit in an available chair for snack (instead of shoving someone on the floor and taking their chair) or go sit on the sofa while the rest of us have snacks BUT I told her to uncross her arms and stop glaring at me. She spent snack time hysterically crying and checking if I was looking at her. Ahhh. Mission accomplished: 1. Make a poor sweet babygirl cry 2.Play favorites with my class and make Ari be last. As soon as her dad picked her up she told on me. He said "sounds like you chose poorly, bet you're hungry." I love teaching preschool, but it's a great reminder why I don't want to be a parent. Today my preschool class was just..... yes, my class has 10 3 & 4 year-olds so it's never a calm day, but within the first 10 minutes one of the girls was crying hysterically and telling me to just get away. We were in chapel, so no thank you. I calmly said you may sit on the floor or sit in a pew... to which she screamed "no, I hate you" and ran to the back of the church. She then proceeded to crawl on the floor under the pews and I was getting frustrated, so when I had a chance I grabbed her ankles and proceeded to pull her out. She yelled, "Let go of me, you weirdo!" I'd had enough so I carried her out of chapel. Of course she is the heaviest in the class. I carried her all the way back to our room. After she finally quit crying, she said, "sorry, I was just hungry." Then at snack time this other girl cried hysterically because she didn't get the purple plate. Told me she's not going to eat anything because she wanted the purple plate. I said okay, the rest of us are having snack. When we went outside, that same girl ran through the room & tripped on the baby gate and fell and started crying again. I asked the others what happened [I didn't see it] and this one special-needs boy told me, "she didn't jump high enough" not "she was running in class." I just lost it, started laughing. I wasn't funny, but it was par for the course today. Some days I'm really not sure why I teach preschool. I used to teach in college and now I'm like a babysitter. I just had the pleasure of leaving a Trumpet speechless. Some talking MAGA was saying how he agrees with Elon that America shouldn't feed or give condoms to Africa. Oops, he didn't know that Africa is very precious to me. I pointed out that much of the African continent is missing an entire generation because they died of AIDS. There's the older generation of grandparents and the youngest generation of orphans. The middle generation is gone. So the older siblings quit going to school and try to raise the younger siblings. He had the nerve to ask me how many times I've done any charity work in Africa or donated any of my own money to Africa. I smiled the smile of "you asked the wrong question, Ahab" and told him I've done missionary work in Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, and Rwanda. The main place I donate money is Kenya's Kids - an organization helping the multitude of orphans. How nice you felt comfortable personalizing this discussion. For future reference, once you personalize things the debate is lost. Sweet smile, and oh, just imagine if Elon's parents had used a condom - he's South African, ya know. Hence I didn't get a kiss on Valentine's Day. 😂  Good for you Ruby! I can't stand people who remain silent in the face of injustice. I'm glad you spoke up.  Yes you are right the AIDS epidemic and orphans is a very serious issue and problems in Africa. View all 8 posts Just canceled my Amazon Prime. I'm not giving money to pube head Zuck. Haven't and won't shop at Home Depot (they contributed to Twitter's campaign - probably because orange is their color). If I wouldn't have to fly, I'd go to DC for the 5th. View all 7 posts Halluejah we fight back by being educated and making wise decisions where we spend money and being aware of politics let us vote and make it a government for and by the people as the constitution says. DC needs strong leaders not people once they get elected they never do what was promised. Waiting for the delivery of my produce from the local Asian market. I'm dying for the pineapple. It will probably be green (unripe) when it arrives. If you've never gone into an Asian grocery you totally should if you get the chance. They have types of fruit & vegetables you've never heard of. Also ordered some homemade noodles. If I start making dinner then the order will appear but if I wait on dinner then the order won't come until 9pm.  There's an Indian market near me, and it's got all kinds of neat stuff. I turned into the spices aisle and it felt like I was being physically smacked in the face by a giant invisible curry. Just canceled my 3 upcoming flights. Not interested in flying while there isn't a director of the FAA. Well played, Trump. Fire them, have 2 plane accidents in 3 days, then blame Obama, Biden, Butigieg, anyone and anything but you taking responsibility for your firing and hiring freeze. What a crappy business man and crappy leader... No "the buck stops here" but blame everyone else. Honey, since you blamed Biden for the price of eggs you are to blame for the current state of air safety. Only took 2 weeks for his incompetence to show. SMDH. View all 10 posts I just need a brief moment of your time. If you are defending Musk's Nazi gesture then don't talk to me, don't type to me, don't bother to call me woke for seeing it at face value, don't call me a snowflake, don't tell me he was sending his heart to the crowd. Just go to work tomorrow and make that gesture. Be sure to let us all know what happens. That gesture would get you arrested in Germany. I wonder why. This isn't about politics, this isn't about not liking the Mango Mussolini, this isn't about being a woke lib, this isn't about a billionaire having autism... This is about decency, knowing history, and holding people accountable for their actions. Let me get this straight, the brilliant man behind Tesla is suddenly so autistic he doesn't know know the difference between sending love from my heart and heil Hitler? I work with autistic children. None of them know history or the meaning behind gestures yet none of them have said "Miss Kelsie" and accidentally thrown me a heil Hitler. One little boy was so autistic all he could say was the names of all three teachers and "car broken" but he still didn't randomly throw out a heil Hitler. If you are on my friend list and want to defend Musk then unfriend me. If you don't know me but want to send me a "quirky random private message that jokes about this gesture to get me to reply:" fight that urge. Thank you View all 9 posts  💯 Theyre too cowardly to even stand by their nonsense. All these fake excuses ro avoid confrontation when everyone knows their admiration for nazism. One good thing about tomorrow is I can wear my "Are we great yet? Because I just feel embarrassed" shirt again. I almost thrifted it 4 years ago, but behold, my fellow Americans turned stupid again. and OMG, have you seen his offical Presidential potrait? It looks like his mugshot. I'll frown and look mean cause I'm just a big orange bully. That man is so insecure about his masculinity. I didn't watch the installation of a dictator, but guess what Occupy Democrats recommended I watch? Elon Musk speaking today and giving the hiel Hitler salute. Once could be argued it was accidental: he did it 3 times. I'm a white Christian who can't even imagine how horrific, scary, and appalling that is to so many people whose families were murdered by the Nazi. It's horrifying enough knowing some of my family members liberated concentration camps and saw the piles of dead bodies and crematoriams. What's worse is the crowd applauded. We said Trump is just like Hitler. We said Trump uses language just like Hitler (for example:: his enemies are vermin). We said Trump has wet dreams of being a dictator. Well, do you really need more proof than his puppet master heiling the Fat Fühler? I never thought I'd see this happen in America. Absolutely disgusting. View all 12 posts I grew up loving this country and wanting the best for it. THIS is not the best, not by a long shot. tbh I think a lot of people are questioning scared and challenging the policies and executive orders of the next administration I just heard that the Equal Rights Ammendment has passed. I have a newspaper photo of my mother marching for the ERA in 1978. It passed in 38 states and Biden just declared it passed and is a new Ammendment to the Constitution. I honestly never thought it would pass since it has been lingering on the floor of Congress since the 1970s. I always found it so embarrassing and frustrating that more states wouldn't radify it. This "radical" Ammendment makes discrimination based upon sex illegal; in other words, everyone is equal in the eyes of the law whether they are male or female... pretty sure it also covers trans. Will be interesting to see how the "Constitutionalists" on the Supreme Court can twist this Ammendment to magically not include health care/body autonomy [yes, I mean the Dobbs Decision that overturned Roe v. Wade]. Three days before the Mango Moussalini assumes power. Gigglesnort. Once again, thank you Biden for being a president focused on bettering this nation. View all 9 posts Well, it SHOULD be ratified. I don't know what the holdup is. Virginia was the 38th state to ratify it in 2020 so Congress has met the required minimum number of states for the amendment to pass. It's ridiculous that women don't have the same rights as men in our country. The 15 states whose legislatures did not ratify the Equal Rights Amendment by the 1982 deadline are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. Only surprise on that list is Illinois. And the fact that the list doesn't include Texas. |
It seems like I was just writing a 29k check to repair water damage in 3 rooms from a ruptured supply line or the 7k check to excavate and repair an outdoor water leak oddly right next to some new electrical junk installed by the county or the 4k check to reroute the hot water line in the crawl space BUT NO, now the bathroom sink is leaking everywhere. I'd like to just shut off water service to my house.
In the grand scheme of things, it's not like a clerical error caused me to be deported to an El Salvadorian prison, but I am so ready to move.
