Must do, because I found a car title in with the appliance manuals and reciepts for shit not medical shoved in the medical file, etc. Hubby don't read filing tabs it would seem).
Also took cat to vet for her yearly (she GAINED a pound. goddamn it) and got diner.
All in all, fairly good use of my day and I accomplished mostly what I wanted to.
Today's agenda:
-get plants- yay!
-plant plants- also yay!
-Clean under stove and finish cabs/drawers
-Get curtains down for washing
-Clean porch. zomg does it need it.
-Start on windows. We got 30 windows. It is not that big a house but we got 30 windows. So I am only slating starting on them and not finishing them today cause I might give out before they do. No big, can finish them tomorrow
so my ex-wife reached out to me yesterday. she wants me to go to DMV and obtain the titles for a couple of trailers we had when we were together. apparently they are registered in my name. she can't find the titles. then I need to transfer them to her name
now, I don't mind helping her out, but sheesh. titles aren't something you just throw away; they're filed away in her house somewhere. she's an accountant FFS, part of her job description is to be organized about important pieces of paper. and yet, every single time....
I'm working out, capturing and medicating one more catto, cooking big pots of chili & bolognese & rice & pasta, finishing my nails (after several weeks break) and........ um....... reading?
Okay okay, I have some physical pain/injury issues but fuck, we're kinda old! WTF!!!
You shoulda seen my plan last year when I took the entire week off. I can get some stuff done when I get off my duff and do it already (and am not exhausted from working, cause I love my job, but it doth take a toll)
Yeah but hers is an Old. However! She got big male kids who I assume are pretty healthy/strong, who should be doing the gravel and porch, at least!! Put them kids to work!!
Trump Conducts Marathon Reading Of Arby’s Menu In Appeal To Meat Lovers
WASHINGTON—Bowing his head as he solemnly recited the fast food offerings, President Donald Trump conducted a marathon reading of the Arby’s menu Thursday in an effort to appeal to the nation’s meat lovers. “French Dip Royale, Classic Beef ’N Cheddar, Double Beef ’N Cheddar, Half Pound Beef ’N Cheddar—that’s from the Arby’s slow roasted beef menu, items one through four,” the commander-in-chief said while a retinue of Arby’s executives stood behind him with their eyes closed and their hands clasped in prayer. “This is my favorite: Arby’s value menu, item two—ham slider. I love ham sliders. Don’t we love ham sliders, America? I read this passage every night before I go to sleep. It’s calming.” At press time, Trump’s approval rating had skyrocketed by 30 points.
Well, here we are, still no sign of my tax refund, which is $1500, so I definitely want it back.
Today is an exciting day in the local paper: they print all the names of people and businesses that failed to pay their property taxes on time. You won't see my name on that list, fortunately, because I got a mortgage that includes my taxes. Most of the properties are vape or pot shops, but there are a few trailer homes listed, too, which you should not have to pay taxes on.
This is the last Friday I'll drive my delivery route. Going forward, we'll have a static drop at the corner of 25th and Robinson Friday's from 11-12. I'm sure we'll do good traffic, but I worry about our participants who don't get delivery. Six in one hand, half a dozen in the other, lots of people need clean supplies.
"Religious freedom" and "parental rights" are not infringed if there are rules to prevent widespread illness in a school. I hate this bullshit ... the government isn't stopping you from not vaccinating your spawn, it is saying they can't attend school without being vaccinated. Like "No shoes, no shirts, no service" ... it is to protect OTHERS. The wedge is between "must provide public education" and "sincerely held beliefs."
Luckily, there is an alternative these days. It's not great, and not all districts have people who know how to do it effectively, but we need to start building that capacity instead of letting shady 'non-profits' take our students away. And that's to put all their classes online and tell them "We are providing you an online education until/unless you are safe to be in the presence of other students."
See my comment below. Prayer U's bullshit doesn't meet state standards in any state I know of. Even places that actually use it only do so as a supplement to other lessons.
That sounds like it might work, but in Connecticut there is ZERO oversight on home schooling. The parents register and then the next time the state sees or hears from the students is when they take the GED exams. Not a great system, IMHO.
Not talking about home schooling. I'm talking about online classes provided by the public school district, with proper procedures to ensure (as much as we ever can, absenteeism is a huge issue) students are engaged with material that meets state standards and working consistently.
Cao ran for the Senate and the witches beat him. Well, TimTim beat him anyway.
Also, because I pay attention to things like this, I heard WAY more Republicans make fun of his furrin name than anyone else. Which goes a long way to explain why they didn't come out and vote for him in Youngkin numbers.
Which is why when people make fun of names like that, I don't hear "Hung Cao is an asshole," I hear "Ha, ha, foreign names are funny and stupid." Even when I know the person making the joke well enough to think they meant the first thing.
True story: We had occasion to travel through the western roads of Virginia during that election and while there were plenty of Republican signs out there, none of them had her picture on them, as all her signs in the eastern part of Virginia did. Not a one.
It depressed me for days but it is not as if I did not already know what it was like out there.
This is how Thiel believes he will control the US as a "technocracy" ... embed his useless, data gobbling shite into every major agency in the US government.
Should we now start saying "Virginia is for lovers (of Christ)?"
"We wish him well in his future endeavors."

"Hung Cow". A cow is female, so how can she be "hung"? "Hung Bull" seems to be more likely.
is hung hermaphroditic?
They present as a cow
For years I have occasionally tried acting as insane as Hung Cao. Never got me to be secretary of anything. Life is so unfair!

If you have ever been to Virginia, you already know what a whacko this Cao guy really is.
So day one of my workcation I:

Okay okay, I have some physical pain/injury issues but fuck, we're kinda old! WTF!!!
I am exhausted
Me, too. I had to lie down before we even got to cleaning up the computer area.
This is more than I've accoplished in my entire life, and I'm 11 years older than you.
You shoulda seen my plan last year when I took the entire week off. I can get some stuff done when I get off my duff and do it already (and am not exhausted from working, cause I love my job, but it doth take a toll)
I need a nap after reading that.
Nap is saturday :D
Like we believe that.
I KNOW.
husbands. pfft.
Yeah but hers is an Old. However! She got big male kids who I assume are pretty healthy/strong, who should be doing the gravel and porch, at least!! Put them kids to work!!
They're working full time XD Hell, eldest is working 3 10 hour days back to back!
I love the 10 hr shift- way easy to pile on the OT with out realizing it.
no, they are flex. No OT for them
Our folks were incredibly ass-busting hard workers and Depression kids, and we all know how to work our asses off, too, but I claim OLDNESS, now.
So are YOU. Gaaahhhhh!!
rofl wanna hear something funny? I got most of that done between leaving wonkette about 830ish, and before hubby got up AT NOON
I can get a lot more done when he is not underfoot
JFC!!!!!!!!!!!
What are they, anyway?
Some are GREAT! I have about a third of one.
No fuckin' way is that one day unless you're a quintuple octopus with the strength of 12 men and the speed of Usain fuckin' Bolt.
I'm horrified.
lol naw it sounds like a lot, but I purposefully did manageable planning. Cause /lazy at heart/
Sure. We all believe you.

It's always the bigotry with them, it really is.
Wiccans, nasty people with their many spirits, patchouli, other scented oils, and stuff. Often times lots of fun!
Wiccan dance if we want to
We can put a hex on ol Hung Cao
So he don't win, and if he don't win, wiccan

Which is why when people make fun of names like that, I don't hear "Hung Cao is an asshole," I hear "Ha, ha, foreign names are funny and stupid." Even when I know the person making the joke well enough to think they meant the first thing.
He is a total asshole. Another ladder puller.
Ladder pullers are assholes by default.
Of course he is. I'm just saying the racists have so tainted making fun of their names that I don't find it funny anymore.
I try not to on principle (my maiden name rhymed with something and I got a lot of that as a kid) but I make exceptions for people like Hicsbreath.
It was witches versus sacred Cao.
