    Tell me about it. I went to Home Goods on November 1st to see if they had any Halloween stuff on clearance.

    The entire store was decked out for Christmas and the Thanksgiving stuff was on clearance.

    Of course, since I live in a decaying, haunted house, Thanksgiving themed decor would clash with the natural ambiance .


  • I don’t have a lot of hope. For anything useful to survive in this country, we need progressives to take over. However, I’m afraid things would have to get much, much worse before that could happen.

    I’m doing the whole peaceful, “No Kings”, protests, but unless they really, really grow, it isn’t going to go anywhere.

    Despite what seems to be the case, I don’t think the right is winning solely because of racism. President Pedophile won both the first time and, bafflingly, the second time because he promised to make things better.

    It was a lie, but it was a lie too many people were desperate to hear.

    Giving hope is a winning strategy, but it needs to translate into results.

    I’m not really hoping for the Democrats to win. I’d like to see the right (both Democrat and Republican) lose. I’d like to see a real progressive option emerge. What we need more than anything is people to run. However, the people who actually care about the people are mostly also struggling to survive.

    I do think there’s a better chance of a progressive revolution in the Democratic party than there is in the Republican party. These kinds of flips have happened several times before. I’d like to see it happen again before it’s too late. However, we (the people) have to get a whole lot nastier.

    A woman’s son was given an order for an MRI because of some heart problems. He was very nervous about it, but he didn’t want to tell his mom why.

    His parents were divorced. Turns out, when he was staying with his father years ago and came home with a black eye, it wasn’t caused the way he described. He and his friends were playing with a BB gun, and he got shot in the eye, and the BB was still in there under the skin. His father made him promise not to tell his mother.

    They put a magnet up to it, and it was attracted to the magnet. They had to get it removed so they could get the MRI.

    The chef’s kiss to the story:

    As a child, his mother had lost an eye after being shot with a BB gun.
