Class reunions. Some people love them. Some people hate them. Last weekend was my husband’s 40th class reunion. I had a good time and learned a few new things about Pat! One big conversation topic of the night was the low turnout, and that attendance has been steadily declining over the past few reunions. No one really had a good… Read more »
So I finally saw the Barbie movie. At first I wasn’t interested, then I thought I was, then I thought I wasn’t because Will Ferrell was in it (my hatred of Will Ferrell is another topic for another day), and then I decided I had to see it because of all the hype. And maybe all the hype was the… Read more »
Some kids are already back in school. Most of the rest will be going back in the next couple weeks. And almost all of them have one thing in common- they attend schools that put sports above everything else, especially fine arts. In most towns it’s easy to get a huge crowd for a football game. It’s a lot harder… Read more »
There is a long running joke that you need to make sure you have someone lined up to delete your browser history if you die suddenly. I guess because there is porn or something? I must be the most boring person on Earth, because my search history is pretty dull. Here is the list of what’s on my laptop history… Read more »
I am battling a miserable bug. At first I thought it was just a cold, but I’ve had multiple fever spikes of 102F which seems odd for a cold. I’ve taken a couple COVID tests, so I know it’s not that. Regardless, I’ve been spending a lot of time sleeping- sometimes with a fever. And I have had some true… Read more »
No, Twitter isn’t dead yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Twitter has been around since 2006 and has never made a profit. Not once. It’s fascinating that it’s lasted this long based on that fact alone. But there are many other companies- Carvana and Peloton come to mind – who haven’t ever made a dime either. Also fascinating,… Read more »
2023 is the first year that Juneteenth was a Federal holiday. If you spend 2 seconds on social media last week you couldn’t avoid all the snarky comments. Most people were smart enough to not just come out and say they didn’t see the point of marking an important day in black history, but they didn’t try to hard to… Read more »
It’s been a while since I’ve done a rant session. I feel like we need to rectify that. #1 There is nothing more despicable than people who spread medical nonsense. Cure for cancer hoaxes, anti-vaxxers, the COVID deniers, the list goes on. There aren’t any upsides to spreading lies and half truths that can – and have- killed people. The… Read more »
I don’t think I have to explain this one to you. This is what today is. Do with this information what you will.
My husband go out to eat a lot. Probably more than we should, but that’s another topic for another day. Between the two of us we have quite a few bank accounts. Some of them are joint accounts and some are not (this is important). So, there are quite a few different options when it comes time to pay for… Read more »
