Bluntness

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

The 118-year-old floor

 This morning, because the temperature was a comfortable 58 (F), I decided to switch to my fall wear, which is also pretty much the same as my winter wear: sweatpants and sweatshirt.  I love sweats, big, and baggy, and warm, but only as casual wear at home.  There are those who think they're great casual wear in public.  Nope, not for me.  A pair of pants and a shirt are nice for the simple reason that not everybody looks good in sweats... in public.  Just like yoga pants.  You have no idea how many times I have come to being blinded by women showing up at the flooring desk wearing yoga pants that are stretched to the max.  When you can see their stretch marks through the leopard skin pattern, there's a problem.

And yesterday was a day of accomplishment!  I have a big home improvement project coming up.  Currently, my washer and dryer are in the basement.  That's changing.  They are being relocated to the 2nd floor walk-in closet.  I'm speaking American floors here not European, where they think of the first floor as the ground floor.  Right now, there's carpet... or I should say was carpet there.  I removed it yesterday.  This is what that 118-year-old floor looks like.  I'm betting there's lead in that paint, so I'm not sanding it down.  Rather, I'm going to be putting in some marble plank flooring that I'll be picking up from work today.



And, of course, yesterday the DOJ filed an appeal with the 11 District Court regarding failed judge Ailleen Cannon's decision to join Trump's defense team.  That is what people are saying, in case you didn't know.  Perhaps it's because she is completely ignoring the facts.  Even though the 11 District Court is a bit lopsided, 6 Republicans 5 Democrats, the belief is there will be no problem.  Siding with Trump would shit away all precedents and prove that the district is corrupt.  I'm not saying that isn't going to happen, just that it's unlikely.

Ronnie D, the governor of Florida is coming under a lot of fire for his political stunt of flying immigrants from Texas to Martha's Vinyard.  Ronnie doesn't think about the details, though.  When he attempted to parade the smugness of his stunt at a press conference, his braggadocio stumbled badly.  His hands fluttered and flailed almost as bad as Donnie Jr.'s on a good day.  As someone pointed out, this is why Ronnie doesn't want to debate.  When things move away from his prepared statements, he flounders and gets angry.  I suspect Ronnie will be a one term governor.

  1. Oh you're so right about yoga pants. I do yoga in shorts because I look terrible in yoga pants - like a hard boiled egg on toothpicks! As for wearing them round town, oh my word, no way!

    1. And it's not only yoga pants, but people also come into the store wearing those flannel bottom pants that look like pajamas.

  2. DeathSantis can fuck all the way off. Trafficking in human beings to make a political point that simply showed that he and the GOP don't give a fuck about people.

  3. Enjoy that project!!!!!

    And I agree. It drives me nut when people wear exercise wear or sweats out in public. People can't get dressed for a day out or run errands for once? Too me it's just pure laziness. And your right. Most look like slobs and can't wear it right.

    1. And it doesn't make a difference in regard to gender, there are sometimes when flippy floppy is inappropriate.

  4. Sounds like a good project, Dave R. Look forward to seeing the final results. Our hardwood is only about half that old. We are getting closer to sweat pants weather out here. Just a few more weeks and the shorts will have to go into hibernation.

    1. This is the beginning of a whole house redo. And while I will miss the shorts and T-shirts, I also enjoy the comfiness of sweats.
