Some how we have fallen in to the time line where the most stupid people are the ones leading the country and the most greedy are in charge of the public money. There was a movie based on this … or several dystopian ones. But anyone who has seen this simpleton’s tRump Towers penthouse apartment can tell you he has no clue what looks good or is even acceptable. The idea that making everything gold is good taste shows just how lacking in good taste this moron is. Hugs

Yet big tough weak president in name only keeps claiming that the world respects us now. According to the orange bloat owned by Putin and Musk the world laughed at the US durning Obama and out right eat the US lunch after stuffing us in the our locker during Biden. Yet ever poll and by every measure the reverse is true. But when did reality or facts matter to the dear cult leader and his maga lemmings cult followers. Hugs.

Think how petty and stupid this is. One must never criticize the dear leader, the god of the maga cult. Think again if Biden had done something like this, the right wing media would have lost their minds saying how weak it made the US look. But because they are either enamored of tRump or terrifying of him, they accept it with out thinking what it means. Hugs.

This is important to read. Ron and I get lots of these and because we did have a car mistaken for ours that came by mail, Ron keeps panicking that these are really. I know he is struggling with memory but I am worried he will try to pay one of these. Yesterday I walked by his desk as he was calling someone, then I noticed the toll file folder. I asked him and he said he was calling the state toll people to make sure. I told him Ron please hang up. I showed him how they all come in from different email or addresses. None of them the official state toll places. Hope this helps others getting these scam texts. Hugs

Why so many people are getting scam texts saying they have unpaid tolls
A rise in text messages telling people they have unpaid toll fees is emerging as the latest iteration of a ballooning form of fraud.

I am sitting in the car waiting for Ron to get his Brian MRI for dementia. I got my own blood work done as the doctor checks for the salt wasting and cancer signs. Won’t that be fun if I end up having cancer just when Ron gets diagnosed with dementia. Hugs. Kamyk is still in the ICU fighting pneumonia and sepsis so of course his family is arguing over what to call him. He hates his first name, it is the same as his father which he feels abused him and is a narcissist. He chose the name Kamyk pronounced Camick or Kamick. Soft kay sound, am then followed by ick. I guess the father feels slighted with everyone calling him Kamyk and I noticed his sisters have gone back to calling him by his dead name. I told them how I felt about it and that I wouldn’t dead name him until I heard from him that he wanted me to. Hugs

Hello Everyone! This week I decided to try something new. I’m going to leave work at a decent time. So, for a week, my goal is 6:30am – 4:00pm. I’ve managed two of three days so far, and I’m really feeling better. It’s bothersome, a bit, to walk out of the shop and know that I have so much left to do, but I’ve found that doesn’t change no matter what time I leave.

I still hate mornings, though. So, a bit of morning coffee humor. Hugs! Randy
