As most of you know I was a HUGE fan of the TV show Mythbusters. I trust those guys more than anyone else on TV before or since. And, on occasion, I have given mythbusting a try myself. Today is one of those occasions. Specifically, today we are looking at myths related to employment and jobs in the United States. … Read more »
Over the years I’ve heard many a parent say “when (insert name of child here) turns 18 they can do whatever they want”. Really? Really? And, yes, I know I don’t have kids, and to a certain percentage of the population that means I have no capability to understand ANYTHING related to parenthood. But I was a kid, almost… Read more »
Seriously people. Just do it. Unless you are under the age of 18, or been advised by an actual board certified medical doctor that you shouldn’t get the vaccine, there is NO EXCUSE to not be vaccinated against COVID by now. None. Zero. Nadda. No, I’m not interested in reading some article you found online about 5G or mind control. … Read more »
As you may or may not be aware, the Q faithful were waiting for Trump to be “reinstated” as President on Friday August 13th. This is at least the 6th date that I’m aware of that has been set for this event, and just like all the previous ones, it passed without a change of White House occupancy. I hear… Read more »

This past week I did something I said I was done with- I got into a “discussion” online about something political- specifically the question of DC statehood. I freely admit this isn’t a topic I know a lot about and I am genuinely interested in learning more about it. I saw a post on it by a long time friend… Read more »
On April 16th I got my second COVID vaccine. I did not come down with a fever, chills, or headache. I did not go into anaphylactic shock. But holy cow am I am wiped out. I had not personally read about fatigue as a vaccine side effect before I got my shots, but now I’m reading that yes, it’s pretty… Read more »
With needles that is. I got my first COVID vaccine shot in mid March and will be getting my second one on April 16th. My husband has also had his first shot and will be getting his second on April 19th. I know a lot of folks who have gotten both vaccines and more who are scheduled for their second. … Read more »
Today is a very easy holiday to observe- it’s No Selfie Day. You might wonder why this is a thing. But especially for young women, taking and posting selfies can be a very stressful thing. Getting that perfect lighting, using the right filter, wondering how about many “likes” you are going to get- it can be very damaging for anyone’s… Read more »
I had really hoped that between the public backlash against the January 6th riots and Joe Biden being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States that some semblance of normalcy could come back to American politics. That we’d stop having to deal with friends and relatives who had bought into some of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories… Read more »
