Bluntness

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

Bingo!

 And a fine, happy Monday morning to all you!  From what I'm hearing, quiet Christmas's seemed to again be the norm this year.  Sometimes, I think the media hypes the holidays too much.  But a lot of it also has to do with 'keeping up with the Jones's.'  Many people feel they need to have bragging rights about their holiday dinner, and they need to back up those bragging rights with pictures on Facebook, and Instagram, and Twitter (or whatever social media platform they're on).  Personally, I could really care less if you jammed 40 people into your house just to create a photo op.  I really do think if every time we saw one of these pictures we'd comment "Jesus, that's big fuckin' crowd,' people might stop posting them.

I had one of my memory dreams last night except this one was different.  I went back to Lebanon Valley College, though I didn't go back in time.  The English Department was, and still is, housed in what used to be an private residence.  However, everything was current.  Every professor I ran into had been a fellow English major, except they had all aged and I had to match their names with their older faces.  It was a fun dream.  LVC is one of the top 10 Liberal Arts Colleges on the Eastern Seaboard.  You can see some of the old private homes housing, the English Dept.  and the Foreign Language Dept. This is where I went to school.


And I had to guffaw yesterday when someone on Twitter posted, "Candace Owens ending Trump's political career was not on my Bingo Card for 2021."  Her saying "he is old, born before TV," is a freaking hoot.  Alex Jones is calling him a Dirty Liar.  I can only wonder about the Evangelicals who believe he was sent by God.  I mean do they think Trump is speaking for God when he says they should get vaccinated?  Holy Shit!  My money says that's not on their Bingo Card.

  2. A quiet Christmas was perfect for me and a quiet New Year will be just as good.

  3. I think the media hypes everything up.

    And trump himself has never said he was religious, or said he even believed in a god way before his presidential, err, or lack of, years. So why do the religious whackos think he is????? I will never understand that.

    1. They believe God is working through him because he put 3 Conservative Judges on the Supreme Court (Coney Barret, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch) for the singular purpose of over turning Roe v Wade. And sadly, that's just one of their reasons.

  4. Having a large crowd for Christmas would be my idea of hell. I know some people enjoy it but I think most women are glad when it's all over! Bah humbug?
