Should we now start saying "Virginia is for lovers (of Christ)?"

"We wish him well in his future endeavors."

Corporate speak for GTFO and feel lucky that a matchstick factory in Northern Wisconsin needs a manager.

*"What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat them and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women that are going to win wars.”*

Cao better hope the Trump admin doesn't find this quote. Acknowledging women can fight is prolly a shade too DEI for them.

"Hung Cow". A cow is female, so how can she be "hung"? "Hung Bull" seems to be more likely.

For years I have occasionally tried acting as insane as Hung Cao. Never got me to be secretary of anything. Life is so unfair!

"It’s more that people who get “100% disabled” from all the times they got “blown up in combat” tend to receive awards like that."

Actually It’s more that people who get “100% disabled” from all the times they got “blown up in combat have a nice little plot of land in Arlington Cemetery...I dunno...Where I come from, 100% disabled = 'dead'

So day one of my workcation I:

- completed the heavy dusting, including the ceiling fans, baseboards, and ceilings

-Scrubbed the fridge inside, outside, on top and under neath

-Started on clearing out the cabs and drawers in the kitchen

-Got and laid the gravel for mini Path in back

-Cleaned up computer area including under the desk where all the wires sit and collect dust

-Gutted the filing cabinet, which took the longest but was easiest to do, and re-organized the filing. I chose less folders in the hopes that hubby will deposit everything in one or two of em making it easier for me to go through and file away properly (before then he'd just been shoving stuff wherever. 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?

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."

verne's avatar

pray that those online classes are not prager u

MRK's avatar

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.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

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.

MRK's avatar

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.

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

MRK's avatar

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.

Well Dressed & Incredibly Jen's avatar

He is a total asshole. Another ladder puller.

Ladder pullers are assholes by default.

MRK's avatar

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.

Tell that to Winsome Sears.

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.

WaPo editorial board: California’s ‘conversion therapy’ bill puts ideology over free speech [https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/04/23/californias-conversion-therapy-bill-puts-ideology-over-free-speech/]

The Supreme Court struck down Colorado’s law because it regulated “speech based on viewpoint.”

Yet abortion gag-laws remain unscathed.
