FedUp

One memorable St. Patrick’s Day the green beer flowed at lunch with a bunch of my husband’s coworkers. As they got up to leave, they left what they figured they owed in cash on the table. Husband and I were the last to leave and were stuck taking care of the damage — and it was damage. What our companions left did not begin to cover the tab plus…[Read more]

Thanks. Earlier this week I provided my daughter with numbers for her Congressman and State Legislators, but she refuses to call them believing it  will do no good. You can lead a horse to water, but…you know the rest. I can’t call them for her. She keeps getting hung up on every time she calls EDD which has become all day every day. She did…[Read more]

A 14 year old letting off steam on Social Media is not the school’s business. She didn’t come on school property and scawl any message on the walls. Some thin skinned administrators there.

Californian here. People of all political stripes are pissed at Newsom, governor Do as I Say, Not as I do maskless indoors at one of the most expensive exclusive eateries in the state at the height of the pandemic. But I digress…I am mostly pissed at him because the state’s unemployment system is broken and he has done nothing to fix it.…[Read more]

Who “adopts” an adult same sex housemate? Who shares nude photos of sexual conquests with fellow scumbags? Who becomes the target of a federal investigation into a sexual relationship with a minor? Who may have taken that minor across state lines? Why, that stalwart representative of the party of family values, proud Florida Man and consumate…[Read more]

When this bubble bursts, millions who’ve purchased homes during the pandemic are going to find themselves upside down, owing big money on a house worth way less than what they paid. Example….My mom lives in a 50 year old tract house in a So Cal suburb. Prices have gone up to the extent that a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house in her tract was selling for…[Read more]

Remember former US Senator and Virginia Governor George Allen, whose use of the word “macaca” referencing a dark skinned man, got him into trouble and derailed his Presidential ambitions? Well, he has one son. The son’s name is Forrest, after Nathan Bedford. Both daughters named for Confederate Generals as well. Knew him in high school in So.…[Read more]

The waste, fraud, and abuse that exists in the world of military contractors is vast beyond anything the ordinary citizen could begin to imagine. Lengthy delays, huge cost overruns, and eventual cancellations are par for the course. Engineers flit from one company to the next chasing a “charge number” and moving on when the work inevitably dries…[Read more]

I have a friend from way back who ended up homeless, and here’s how. Step One: She and husband quit their jobs to care for his mother in her rented house in another city. Her elderly mother moved in with them, too. Step Two: His mother died, leaving not much. They could not afford to stay in the house, and so moved with her wheelchair boumd mother…[Read more]

It was only a matter of time. Once you’re in the club and enjoying all the perks of membership, it’s easy to forget those whose shoulders you stood on to get there.

Hunter is a piece of work. His involvement with his sister-in-law has a strong “ick” factor and I’m gathering he was abusive in the relationship. If not for his last name, he’d be doing time.

Why doesn’t it ever occur to people like that caller, that maybe the answer is fewer guns? Places that have strict gun control laws aren’t random shooting galleries like the US has become. If there’s any sort of  rationale for an ordinary person to be in possession of an assault rifle, I haven’t heard it.

Had an old high school friend comment on FB today that if they take away assault rifles, pretty soon our other “rights” will be in jeopardy. My response was along the lines of, “What about my right not to be caaried out of a supermarket or school in a body bag?” No reasoning with a gun nut.

When you are POTUS and cameras are recording your every public move, you proceed cautiously so as to avoid being caught falling, especially when you are nearing 80. Someone needs to remind Joe he’s not 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or even 70 anymore and should slow the hell down.

I have friends who have a cousin who recently came out as transgender and is transitioning from male to female. The father freaked out and moved out the family home. He and his wife are currently in therapy, but it doesn’t look good. He’s a macho guy who can’t accept it. Tearing the family apart. Too many kids are still unable to tell parents…[Read more]

My husband is the straightest of straight arrows. Now age 70. Never smoked anything. Had to fill out a questionnaire for a clearance years ago and truthfully answered “no”to the drug questions. The examiner didn’t believe him. How could he have been a teenager in the 60’s and not smoked pot? If you say “no” you’re lying, and if you say “yes”…[Read more]

If you look closely at his gait on the way to the plane, he appears to have a slight limp. To prove his firmess, he then tries bounding up the steps and trips more than once. At 78, he needs to slow the hell down and not try to prove he’s in better shape than he is. Just ends up looking feeble. Kamala is loving this.

Here’s the deal. I chose President Harris because Pelosi and Schumer told me to, and, besides, her hair passes my sniff test. Here comes Jill. Wait, that’s my sister. No, wait. It’s Major. Come here, boy. So he bit somebody. Come on, man, that’s what they do — you know these four legged furry things whatever they’re called. Going home for…[Read more]

White Pages provides address and phone info for just about everyone who doesn’t opt out. It’s a phone book on the internet and for $4.99 a month it provides a lot of info and updates. (Not always 100% accurate, but close enough). I am using it for my daughter’s upcoming wedding. Out of curiosity, I checked out my mom’s doctors to see where her…[Read more]

By the time this comes to fruition, if it ever comes to fruition, it will be an additional dollar in yearly income taxes on everyone earning over 40K and the Vichys will declare a great victory.
