Only three more days of wanting to rip my ears out if I hear another version of ANY Christmas carol, whether sung or played or barked or meowed. It actually makes the noise surrounding the Star Wars release bearable because at least they didn’t play Christmas carols over the credits.
Thought I’d go to Costco
Going to Costco is not something people like me should do during the holiday shopping season. So I don’t. I tried to go yesterday but the line of cars waiting to turn into the totally filled parking lot was a city block long in each direction. Have none of these people heard that Amazon Prime doesn’t charge for shipping to Alaska?
The best holiday present they can give us
All presidential candidates announce that their campaigns will go dark from Dec. 24 through Jan. 1. No insane and mean statements about refusing people safety. No debates about arming nurses in NICUs in case the baby comes out with a gun. No statements hating our neighbors because they are “other”. I’d almost be willing to vote for someone who would do that… almost.
So the headline says…
The headlines said that science had confirmed something that had long been a rumor about Hitler. I clicked the link thinking I would be reading about some fascinating evaluation of his mental health or childhood trauma or belief in evil spirits. Instead, I got treated to a headline that announced Hitler had only one testicle. Am I the only person on earth who could have gone to my grave without this knowledge and still died happy? And now I think I’ll just go throw up a bit.
Please, no more.
I was scrolling through news pieces yesterday when I saw a headline announcing that some Kardashian was making news because she put her butt on Instagram. First of all, that is not news. That is not gossip. That is not anything anyone should have to see or read about when searching for news. Secondly… sorry, I just threw up in my mouth at the thought of seeing that picture. I need to go rinse my mouth out and take some deep cleansing breaths while trying to convince myself that humanity is not completely doomed to inanity.
The only adult in the room
Sometimes it’s simply not fun to be the only adult in the room. While everyone else it having fun being silly and stupid, you are required to maintain some semblance of dignity and intelligence. Watching our local politicians at work I have to say that I am becoming more and more convinced that Governor Walker may be the only adult in any room full of Alaskan politicians.
Remember when you were a kid and it seemed as though it was always your parents raining on your parade? You know, they’d say things like, “No you can’t stick that dime into
Who is scarier?
Donald Trump or the people who support him?
So here’s a question
If all the Republican presidential candidates were put on a boat and sent out to sea would anyone actually search for them? And what are the chances that anyone who wanted to search for them could also be put on a boat and sent out to sea?
My Christmas wish
I wish that on Christmas day I can be diabetes free so I can fall face first into a dish of cannolis.
The most intelligent comment of the year
From Bernie Sanders… “If you think it is too expensive to take care of our veterans, don’t send them to war.”
