Bluntness

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

The Good Thing

 Oops, I did it again... slept in, that is.  To be honest, it wasn't as though I went to bed last night at 11 PM and slept the entire night away.  For some reason, I've been waking up around 0200.  Most nights I just wait to fall back to sleep.  Last night I put that time to good use.  I made notes on The Body Under Ice.  I'm finishing off the final chapter and, as always, there are points that have to be explained.  Sometimes those changes are no more than adding a simple sentence earlier in the book.  You know, simple things say so much.

And the screw in the title refers to one of he several securing the control panel of my treadmill.  Repairs are complete!  It's be lubricated and the belt has been centered.  The only thing missing is that one little screw.  It fell into the space below the motor and the only way to get it out is by turning the treadmill onto its side.  Well, that ain't gonna happen.  There are 4 other screws holding the control panel in place, so I'm not too worried about it coming lose.

Here's a bit of a funny.  Yesterday, Madonna announced her Celebration Tour.  While she does have her loyal fans her are overjoyed, most of what I've been seeing on Social Media has not been kind.  There are comments about the standard 2 hour delay before her show starts, could this be how she proves to herself that her fans will wait an eternity to see her show, to comments about carbon dating to ensure it's the true Madonna.  One fan, desperate to prove his loyalty Tweeted out "sure, she looks weird, but it's still Madonna."   Honestly, I think she's looking pretty good for an aging Asian woman.😎😎😎


Of course, Americans concerned about Democracy are unhappy with the House committee assignments.  People are wondering how George Santos could be put on 2 committees.  Well, you have to remember that Republicans don't give a shit about America.  They are selfish and self-centered.  They also know many of their campaign contributions come from corporations who also don't give a shit about America.    Republicans don't understand that for every action, there is a reaction.  They truly believe that they can act and everyone will accept what they do.  They barely scrape by with a majority in the House during the midterms and they are treating it as though they have a mandate.  They will never learn.  They do not consider what the consequences will be, only that they need to say "shut up, we're in charge."  They are going to fail horribly.  That's a good thing.

  1. Madonna doing the "2 hour delay" thing just shows a complete lack of respect for her fans. Or maybe they're all the same age as her (and me) and just fell asleep!

  2. Well I have to say I was happy with Madonna's announcement, and I will say she can perform still pretty well for her age. The last show I saw was her Madam X concert Philadelphia was lucky enough to get. And there she was not late but except by 15 minutes. While some days I think she is a little bit odd and brings a lot on herself, I will say when these new performers are up and coming you're going to be hard-pressed to find anyone with a career as long as her these days. And what an incredible songbook.

    1. I'm glad you were happy, I'm also glad you only had to wait for 15 minutes during her Madam X show. That's the show she cut short, remember, because of physical issues, knee injuries, you know? Here's a link if you've forgotten.

  4. I saw Madonna here in Chi for Madame X and everything started on time. Maybe five minutes after the time it said on the tix? Didn't have to wait.
    And I saw the announcement. Mama looks good and it's rocking the no-eyebrow thing. Not my fav, but I was more than willing to go see her. Tix are sold out here.
    As for the Repugs, you are right, they don't give a rat's ass about the country. They put that idiot in those committees cause he's going to rob them blind. He's a scammer.

    XOXO

    1. I'm glad she was on time. The Madam X tour was the one in which fans filed a class action lawsuit because she kept starting so late. Let's hope she's still healthy by the time she gets there. 😎😎😎 And the Republican universe is heading towards a Big Bang!
