Bluntness

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

Wrong Color?

Well, it's Tuesday and my first load of laundry is in the dryer.  My 2nd, sweatpants, will be going into the washer shortly.  Moving both washer and dryer to to the 2nd floor was a smart move, since the big PC is up here.  The only thing I don't like is the vinyl floor - it's faux marble, has a lot of white which shows up dog hair.  Holy Crap!  I had no idea there was so much dog hair floating in the air around me.  

We had a big carpet carpet install returned.  There are 7 rolls of  shrink wrapped carpet sitting back in receiving, each with the dimensions of a room written on the wrap.  Beaucoup Bucks $$$$.  The customer claimed it was the wrong color.  Well, that's a lie.  I can remember 2 times when the wrong color carpet was sold.  Both times, the installation was stopped before the installers cut a single piece of carpet.  I'm betting that in this case, wrong color means the customer didn't like the carpet after it was installed.  I don't doubt this happen more and more frequently because carpets are expensive now.  Two years ago, the same carpet would have run $3.25 a square foot, today it costs $5.37 a square foot.  American capitalism is destroying itself.

Back when the electrical work was being done for the laundry move, I used a small piece of plywood to keep Biggie at bay in the kitchen.  Believe me, he so desperately wanted to go hang around with the electricians.


You know, it doesn't seem a day doesn't go by without Ronnie DeSantis doesn't do something that heralds his turn to the far right.  Black people are furious about his attempt to whitewash their history.  Ronnie doesn't understand.  He desperately wants Florida to become the white Mecca.

The voters in George Santos' district are furious with him.  I would be, too, if he represented my district.  While Democrat and Independent voters want him gone, some Republicans, though still claiming to be angry, would rather he stay.  They don't want to lose his vote and they're worried that they'll do that if there's a special election.  They are totally clueless as to how badly this hurts them with the voters.

Republicans are also suffering from multiple identity crises.  A outstanding example of this is in Butler county, in western PA, where not two, but three different groups are claiming to be the true Republican party.   These problems are only going to multiply for the party of Trump.  I find this hysterical because this is happening to the Republican party across the entire country.  They are using their "shut up, I'm in charge" tactics upon themselves.

  2. Awww Biggie!
    And you know the fuckery of the Repugs will not abate. If anything it'll get worse as 2024 approaches. Death Santis is auditioning for the White House, right? He wants to be as Fascist as possible without actually uttering the words...

    XOXO

    1. Interesting, I have no problem with Blogger. DeSantis big problem is that he believes that lie about America is really conservative, they just need the right leader to bring it out.

  3. Regarding that carpet, will the customer be reimbursed? I very much doubt that would happen over here!

    1. What we'll do is order the correct color, if that's really the problem. If it isn't, that customer will end up getting a refund.

    1. DeSantis, like most Republicans, is living in a universe of his own making. Biggie and Lily say Hi!

  5. American capitalism needs to sit down and put brakes on. Prices of everything are going up....while minimum wage stays down. Soon no one will be able to afford anything....then retail and such will be really hurting.

    If George Santos doesn't get removed he will most likely be voted out if he makes it that long.

    And Biggie's stance while sitting is adorable. Lillith is the same here when workmen come in. She follows them around and watches them as if she is making sure they aren't doing something they shouldn't.

    1. American capitalism won't sit down until it breaks. George is on the end of a very shitty stick and till all is said and done, he'll be kicked out. There goes his pension and his lifetime medical he was bragging about. Lily is not as nice to workman as Biggie, she barks at them.

  6. Well blogspot seems to want me to only comment as Anonymous these days. So, here goes. Is it just me or did someone take the cover off the sewer and all the repug rats got out?

    1. Sixpence has a problem, too. I don't know about the sewer, I'm more likely to believe they're escaping from the mouth of Hell.

    2. Turns out I was logged in to Blogger with the wrong email address. They thought I was new.

  7. People who cannot afford new carpet will be keeping the old longer. It will be like we are living in Russia of the 80s... we will own nothing, but we will be happy :(
