No kidding.  My neighborhood has occasional break ins, and unsecured guns are one thing they look for, because they can easily be sold.  One of my neighbor’s  got broken into, in the middle of the day.  The thieves were staking out her house, and when she left to go to the post office or something, is when they…

My husband and I sometime park at a MARTA station, in metro Atlanta, and take the train to the airport, as MARTA parking is way cheaper than parking at the airport. We had just flown back from Venice, Italy, and were pretty tired, with time zone changes and traveling all day. We got on the last train that night, and…

I have heard several stories like this today - dads who listen to Rush Limbaugh and the daughters who loathe it all. Here’s my story.

How soon do you think he’ll be on social media ranting about being cancelled?

Yup. Supposedly after 1/6, there have been thousands of Republicans who officially changed their registration to Democrat or Independent. Still, it’s probably not enough to change election outcomes. I guess we’ll see what happens in the next 2 - 4 years.

Also, consider yourself lucky if your job can be readily done from home. I may have a white collar job as a scientist / engineer, but it’s in a manufacturing environment. When the pandemic first hit, I did attempt to work from home for a few weeks. It was good time to do some research and get caught up on paperwork,…

Is that due to gerrymandering? Or is Asheville not as liberal as I think it is?

Maybe the North Carolina Democratic party will follow Stacey Abrams’ playbook with increasing voter turnout.  The demographics of North Carolina aren’t too much different compared to Georgia, and there are several blue dots in NC - Asheville, Raleigh-Durham, and Charlotte.  The state barely went red in 2020.  There…

Unbelievable, but sadly expected.  :( 

No kidding.  Although, the pandemic has taken its toll on my mother.  She’s a people person, and needs to be around them, not quarantined at home.  She’s also been flirting with divorcing my dad for several years now, but she doesn’t think she can, as he would be clueless on how to do things like pay bills, etc.  I’m…

That’s how I feel. A coworker of mine got COVID over the holidays, after she went to a big Christmas gathering with her siblings and their kids. Well, the one daughter who flew in from New York, had it, and got most of the people there sick. A friend was relaying a similar story to me about her Aunt. Again, another…

White lady here. I do call out and try to make my white friends, family, and neighbors who spew such nonsense, accountable. I sadly get told I’m a Libtard, dumb, clueless, a sheeple, or both sides are just as bad, it has always been like this, etc.  I try to fight the good fight.  I don’t know what good it does, but I…

It’s so fucking infuriating.  I read a few comments from the Senate Republicans.  Some want to blame the mob stating it was their decision to  storm the Capitol, and Trump had no influence on that.  Or just how this impeachment shouldn’t even be happening, because Trump is no longer in office.  Ugh.  I sadly doubt…

As a kid in the 80s, I loved watching The Frugal Gourmet, which was also on PBS. However, as a kid in the Midwest so much of that food seemed foreign and fancy. I mean, I was never going to make my own pasta.  Although, I do think there were a few episodes of Frugal Gourmet with Elmo from Sesame Street? Too bad the…

Too many “thats” in the legal brief.  I find myself over using the word that on occasion, and it makes for wordy, less direct speech.  

I think Business Insider or some similar news source posted about this, and a bunch of people laugh reacted. It’s so fucked up. As much as I despise Marjorie Taylor Greene and her nastiness, I would never want to threaten her with death, or laugh about it.  If Conservatives want to be the party of morals, law and…

I want unity and all of that other kumbaya bullshit.  However, I don’t see it happening with a sizeable portion of Republicans who still think the election was stolen and politicians who support that nonsense.  

Yup.  I recall during his first term, he and a few other representatives submitted a bill to abolish the EPA.  It was going to go nowhere, but his claim for wasting time on such nonsense was because it’s what his constituents wanted.  Ugh.

The Republicans I know don’t know much about Qanon, they liked Trump but wish he had tweeted less, and not be so obnoxious. They believe Biden won but they think voting fraud is everywhere. While they may not be full on Trumpet to me, or maybe they hide it, they also tolerate the unsavory parts of the Republican…

I had a brief glimmer of hope that 1/6 may have been a reckoning for some Republicans and their shitty politics. Maybe briefly. But after the inauguration, I’ve noticed Republicans have gotten a bit more vocal lately, and they’re swinging back to Trumpian politics. I truly was hoping to move past that garbage for my…
