Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Planet Fitness, Eggroll in a Bowl, & the Stock Market

Well, today is Monday, my 2nd day off in a roe.  Big Seig is standing on the bed barking out the window... he does that sometimes because he likes to bark.  He also barks when he's outside, in fact he will walk around barking at nothing in particular.
Anyway, yesterday was busy.  I started up my membership at Planet Fitness.  They just opened a new one in what was my old Giant Supermarket.  It's close. .8 miles.  As Timmy (that's right, attendant's name is Timmy) took me on a tour I noticed how the layout was very similar to the one on the Carlisle Pike with the only difference being that their locker rooms were along the back wall rather than the side wall.  There were also, as is to be expected from a newly opened gym, a lot of fatties there.  I'm not being derogatory here, just stating a fact, and the sad truth is that in 2 - 3 weeks they will stop showing up.  Too much work, you know?
Yesterday I also made Eggroll in a Bowl - which is pretty much the eggroll filling without the wrapper so it isn't deep fried.  However, instead of pulling out my Yang Can Cook Book, I looked on line....   Weird.  Who ever would have thought that so many very white, non-Asian women could come up with so many variations of the same Chinese recipe?  I mean it's just cabbage, carrots, ginger and garlic doused with a little soy sauce, yet there's a Paleo version, and a low carb version, and a high energy version, and satisfying version... and they're all pretty much all the same.

This is what mine looked like
And as I was checking out Bloomberg this AM, I saw that stock markets around the world a taking a hit thanks to the GOP's failed Health Care Disaster.  An interesting point is that here in the US that big, big rally was fueled not by savvy investors at all; rather it was caused by what they call Mom and Pop investors, mostly Trump supporters who know absolutely nothing about the Stock Market but believed that Idiot's message.  So they will be the ones taking the hit.  Tough Shit.
You will notice, too, that I totally ignored the fact that Conservative News Sites are crapping all over themselves because... Conservatives just failed in a very public, huge, huge way.  In fact their failure was huge it's probably going to smack the hell out of the Stock Market.

  1. One of our Labrador retrievers, Chablis, was blind. She barked a lot. The vet said the barking was a kind of sonar and helped her know where she was in relationship to objects, house, garage, furniture. Maybe your dog's eyesight is diminishing?

    1. No, he just likes to bark. When I bought him 2 years ago from the breeder here were 4 puppies left, 3 of them rushed me, Big Seig stayed back and barked at me, just daring me to buy him
