Well…it was a long night last night and I feel a little crappy for it…but I think I slept okay so that is something…it was fun to go out and hang with G for a while and I think the stop leak may be working on the car…I’ll have to check it again this morning but it looks promising…I hurt everywhere for some reason so I need to go take some ibuprofen to see if that will help…I will comment on the debate and other political stuff later today but right now I need more water and couch before I go to Meijers for the second day in a row…
I think my brain has stopped working…
Well…I’m not sure what the heck the problem is with me lately, but I have been having real problems getting to these and having something to say…but, I have been blocked before and I’m sure I will be again…so, let’s go…I just love the word mendacity and I have been getting to use it a lot lately when I have been describing the repubs and their actions…from voter suppression to just bald faced lies in the debates across the country, I have never seen a party that is so far distanced from the truth…the latest example comes from the senate debate in Montana where the repub candidate denied vehemently that he voted to turn Medicare into a voucher program….the only problem was that he did…and it was in the congressional record…but with these guys, it just doesn’t matter, they just move on and their supporters don’t seem to mind they are being lied to….maybe it’s just not my brain that has stopped working…maybe everyone’s has…geez…
October 22nd
Well…I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday, as you can see, and there is no excuse other than I just forgot…the election fatigue has something to do with it, too, but the biggest factor is being broke and the resultant depression that comes with it…but, I do need to keep moving forward so I’ll try that today…almost gassed myself yesterday when I was cleaning the grout in my shower with a bleach cleaner…had to dive out of the bathroom to be able to breathe and the effects linger today…just not too bright but the shower is clean and that makes me smile a little…not much to do today..I do need to get to working out and riding the bike so I’ll end here and get to it…more later…
October 21st
Well…it’s Sunday and I have been taking it easy so I’m late getting here today…it was an okay day yesterday with Michigan finally getting a win against State but I don’t really remember much else about the day…that’s what happens when all of the days run together in boredom…now, I’m just waiting for the temp to get near 50 so I can get out on the bike and get a long ride in…not sure what the rest of the day will bring with no football to watch but maybe that will get me moving on cleaning some…more later…
A short comparison..
Well…there are so many things that people need to remember for the election in three weeks…I’ll list a few of them here..first what party wants to give more tax cuts to the rich and pay for them by taxing the middle class? Yep, you guessed it, the repubs…second, who wants to take away a woman’s right to control her body and her healthcare? Yay…you got two right, the repubs, of course…Who is the party that is doing it’s best to make sure your neighbors and mine can’t vote? Three for three, the repubs…the last one is just a general thing…who are the people who lie like rugs every time the open their mouths? That’s 100%…the repubs again…how can this election even be close? Geez….
October 20th
Well…getting an early start today and I think it’s just because I’m bored already…and I’m waiting for the Spurs/Chelsea match to start…I’ve even gotten some homemade bread rising in the oven…had to do that to have something to eat around here…no cash coming in so I’ve had to be creative…okay, the match has started so I’m going to go watch..more later…
okay..it took lots longer to come back today and I really don’t have much to add to this one..I did get bombed by some damn bird that had been eating berries when I was on the bike today and it left stains on my knee that I still can’t get out…that’s about it for this one…going to do a political one right now as I watch the game…
The true republicans…
Well…just read of one of the most shameful things I’ve heard in a long time that exposes the true nature of today’s republican…I’m sure you know of the fake photo op where Paul Ryan forced his way into a St. Vincent DePaul’s homeless shelter and washed clean dishes to make it appear that he gives a damn about the poor…never mind that he has never visited one in his own district and has proposed a budget that would cut services to the poor, and now we have the thugs and troglodytes in the repub party blaming the shelter for the bad press that ole Ryan got….and going so far as withdrawing donations that the shelter depends on to survive and making threatening phone calls to the staff there…this is it folks, the clearest picture of what a country run by the repubs would look like…a vicious, winner take all society devoid of morals where the poor are ignored or pilloried for being poor…after all it’s their fault they are not rich…what a bunch of crap….geez…
One last thing…I’m sure that ole Paul can read the papers and listen to the news and knows what is going on and the pain is being caused by his actions…it’s time for him to step up and stop this nonsense, to tell his supporters that St. Vincents is doing good work in the community and to increase their donations…but that sound you hear is the silence of an amoral coward….
October 19th
Well…it’s 9:30 and today, I have an excuse for being so late…the cable has been down for some reason and I just got it back up again…and, I also had my coffee and read the papers while I waited so I don’t really feel that bad about being late…I did have a good day yesterday but lost at pool…but, anything that happened was overshadowed by the Tigers getting to the World Series and the long text conversation with T last night….almost too much fun and with the couple of cocktails, I am a little slow today…I did have dreams last night that included Steven Tyler and cats and my inability to text on my phone…that one is a repeater and I’m not sure what it is about…I’ll bet there is a site on the internet that does dream analysis…maybe I should go out and look? Not much to today…it looks like the rain is going to continue for most of the day so the bike ride may be out…I was out in the cold and rain yesterday and that was not much fun but “Sunken Condos” kept me going…and I think I will have to get to the spider sweep today…there are a few that are starting to concern me…more later…
This time I have an excuse…
Well…okay, I’m not even going to try to give you an excuse…even though I have one…the Tigers are going to the World Series! The game just got done and I am still wallowing in the win…so, this one is done….I’ll be back tomorrow to try to get back on track….it’s cocktail time…
October 18th
Well…running late again today…maybe I need to get some more discipline? Not sure about that but I do know I did have a bunch of stuff to get done before they come to work on my furnace today….and I did have to go out and get the papers…I’ve even stopped reading them in the middle to come here to do this but that’s okay, I needed another cup of coffee anyway…it was a pretty good day yesterday except for the Tigers getting rained out but that just gives me a game this aft….I am still sneezing and coughing but it must be allergies since I don’t think the bug is still with me…maybe the rain will help. Not much to do today…I am so broke that I need to just hang out here for a few days until some money comes in but I don’t know where that will come from yet…oh, well…more later…
