Well…woke up again feeling a little off today and I think it’s from not eating enough yesterday…only had the steak for lunch…well, a half steak and then just didn’t feel like eating more…so I’ll have to do better today….just have no energy this morning and I think I’ll just take it easy today and watch the race and some soccer with Man U playing at 11….couldn’t get the old roku working on the new tv so I just put the antenna on it….probably won’t watch it too much but I may when I work out….okay…almost forgot to go out to get a paper…the days just run together and I forgot it’s Sunday….not too much to do today other than I have to run out to mail some bills later but that is about it…more later….

A nice visit….
Well….just had a nice visit from one of my sons and I am still smiling from it…lots of laughs and talk and he brought me an extra 37 inch tv for my bedroom…and it’s a 1080P flatscreen which is nicer than the 42 I have in the living room….so now I have a spare if mine quits. He is also going to get me a new laptop from the school where he works since they have almost new ones that were purchased by some kind of a grant so they can’t be resold…just discarded and they normally just end up being recycled….so that will be cool since I have worn the letters off the keys of this one….oh, he has also started to put ads on my site so I can make a little money for doing this every day…had 1500 individual visits to the site this month…..much more than I expected…pretty cool….
The country weeps….
Well…after the idiot trump barred people from 7 muslim countries from entering the US by another of his bile spewing hissyfits, the reality of more than 200 years of welcoming immigrants to this country is over…and this damage was done by one of the most stupid people ever to walk this country….and not one damn repub has said a word against it…even though the executive order is clearly unconstitutional under both the first and 14th amendments….but, the one thing this idiot has shown is his complete disdain for the constitution….this is all on you repubs…you elected and are enabling this idiot to break the law….and your true colors are being revealed…that you have no moral code or moral fiber in any of you….this country now weeps for the ruin you have heaped on it in the past 30 years….I hope you all burn in hell…
January 28th
Well….woke up this morning feeling a little under the weather…should have taken some allergy stuff last night since my head is throbbing this morning…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did lose at pool…have been cleaning this place up this morning since one of my sons is going to stop by this morning…will be good to see him….I am going to cook the t-bone steak today that Tom gave me yesterday…haven’t seen that much beef in a long time…but I need to figure out what else to have with it….maybe a baked potato with real butter…..okay…need coffee and soccer so that’s what I’m going to do…more later….
Oscar nominees….
Well…need to write about something different after all of the pollution from trump so I think I’ll talk about movies for a change. It was always a goal of mine in the past to try to see all of the best picture nominees before the Oscars…that used to be much more difficult before the advent of streaming videos, when I used to have to actually go out to theaters to see them…and that was sometimes a crapshoot to have them all still playing after the nominations were announced. And it cost money…but, back then, I had it so no big deal…this year, I have 6 of the 7 movies that were nominated on my son’s server and I have already seen 3 of them. Okay, one of the ones I saw, Kubo and the two strings, was not a best picture nominee but is up for some technical ones but I wanted to see it anyway. That’s one of them that I watched last night…an animated film but definitely not for kids…a pretty seamless combination of stop action, CGI, and live action and it told a pretty good story, too…probably not to everyone’s taste but I like to be challenged by film sometimes. The second one I saw last night was LaLaLand….a modern take on the old style musical/romance that I thought was done very well…it looks gorgeous but Ryan Gosling can only sing about as well as I can and that is not saying much….the lead in number on a stalled freeway is pretty cool to look at and the whole movie didn’t disappoint me…got through the whole thing and that is saying something these days.
January 27th
Well…think I’m getting some kind of a bug since I have been coughing all morning…don’t feel too bad but the coughing is annoying….didn’t get a lot done yesterday so that will have to change today…one of my sons is coming into town tomorrow so I’ll have to have this place cleaned up by then…don’t have a lot to do but need to do it….got a nice bike ride in yesterday and I am going to try to do that again today but it took me a long time to get warmed up after yesterday’s ride so I’m not sure it would be a good thing to go today….I do have to try to eat more today since the legs were really flat yesterday and that is normally from a calorie deficit from the day before….didn’t even get through an entire chicken breast yesterday so I know I need more….not much to do today…pool, but nothing else….more later…
Thank you, Netherlands…
Well…as you remember from an earlier post here, the idiot trump has re-instituted the gag order for family planning organizations around the world that receive federal funding…not allowing them to even talk about abortion…putting millions of women at risk. But, today, the president of the Netherlands has come out and told all of the organizations that will be affected to come to the Netherlands and they will make up for any funding they lose…basically sticking a sharp stick in the idiot trump’s eye and saving women across the world from the death and destruction the gag order would have resulted in. So, to the Netherlands and it’s president, I say thank you….and I am so ashamed of our country right now…
Carl Edwards can go to hell, too…
Well…I knew in the back of my mind that most of the people that run nascar and drive for them were repub assholes but I still watched since I was a race fan and could suppress that fact…but, not any more. After this mornings news that Carl Edwards is going to challenge Claire McCaskill for a senate seat in Missouri as a repub….and that reveals that he is a trump lover and has no shred of decency in him for just that fact….so Carl, I’ll ask you the same question I asked Brad K. and Clint B. a few days back…could you point to the idiot trump and tell your kids you’d like them to be just like that lying, racist, delusional asshole? If you can, and probably have, then all I have to say to you and the rest of the racist repub assholes….you can go to hell…that good guy persona you put on for the past 15 years was all just an act…what a piece of crap…geez…
January 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a nice lunch with T…and she brought me gifts…soap from the Bahamas and two potholders that she made for me…now, that is perfectly T and they are still making me grin….didn’t get on the bike yesterday since I just didn’t feel like it…will probably get out today but not for a while….need coffee first….not too sore today so it should be okay on the ride…my lower back was really stiff the other day but it seems to be okay today…we’ll see…..don’t have a lot to do today but watch Man U…I should clean some and probably will but, I’ll think about that after the coffee…more later….
Trumps’ private e-mail server…
Well…if we didn’t already know that the endless harping on Clinton’s private e-mail server was just a bunch of partisan repub bullshit, just take a look at what trump’s entire staff is doing…yep, they are all on a private server at the RNC…every damn one of them…the very servers that were hacked by the Russians a few months back and that are still vulnerable…where’s the outcry repubs? Bill O’Reilly, where’s your outrage? Sean Hannity, where is an entire network dedicated to this scandal? Republican house members…where are the endless investigations? Yeah….I thought so…all of the breathless shit that came out of Fox was just that…shit…and now we have trump even keeping his unsecured phone that he uses daily and that most 7 year olds could probably hack….hey idiots that voted for trump because of the incessant e-mail bullshit: you’ve be had…how does it feel?
