Meme Monday
Today’s meme Monday is a two-for. The silly meme above, and the old school meme below, which is questions asked by AllyBean on her blog. Q1 – What’s your favorite movie? Oh gosh, so many. Maya would say, ‘Out of Africa’, because I sometimes like to watch that movie on my birthday. Such a gorgeous movie. Ted would say, ‘Flashdance’, because gosh, I love that movie, god help me. I just do. I might throw ‘Babette’s Feast’ in there, because it is lovely indeed, and I don’t get tired of ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ for some odd reason. Q2 – When trying to buy shoes, what’s your biggest problem? Arthritis. I have arthritis…

Meme Monday – Books!
YOU GUYS, guess what we did yesterday? We went to a bookstore! An actual locally owned and operated bookstore! And we browsed around, and bought a couple of books. It was glorious. After that, we went to the hardware store to buy some hardware store type things, which was a little more crowded and not so much to our liking, but we got our things and left. But the bookstore! SO GREAT! Speaking of which, I have more books in my TBR pile than I know what to do with. I have books that I received as Christmas and birthday gifts. I have books that I got through the local…

Meme Monday – Random Stuff
Today’s post is not really related to the meme at all. I’m not feeling stupid, except perhaps sometimes when I am playing my wordscapes game on my phone and the word I can’t manage to come up with is something like BANK or HER. In fact, today’s post has no theme, just hey, what’s going on in J’s life. Happy to say that we filed our taxes, and we have finally gotten our withholding just about right. We owe $50 to Federal, and we’re getting $70 back from California, so that’s a gain of $20 for us. Yay! I received a text from my credit card company the other day,…

Meme Monday
Over 500,000 Americans dead in 1 year from COVID-19. Record weather and power outages combined with unfettered greed, leading to entirely avoidable deaths. American terrorists attack the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the 2020 Presidential election. Huge protests in our streets, fighting for social justice and expressing outrage over the continued murders of black men and women. Huge wildfires, caused by a combination of drought, poor forest management, and climate change, becoming an annual occurrence in the West.

Meme Monday
Not actually a meme…it’s a book apparently. But it made me laugh, to think of poor stick man and everything happening to him on the same day. I think we can all relate, and feel like we’ve had days like this. I don’t feel like I have a lot to say today. We’ve had some rain, though not enough. Seems like the Sierras are getting snow, which is the most important thing. Our shower door broke, so we had to buy a new one. Luckily it is not so broken that we can’t use the shower in the mean time, as it will not be delivered until early March. I…

Meme Monday – Convenience Food Edition
My mom was big on raising us to be self sufficient. I think it was her number one priority as a parent. Perhaps because she was 6 when her father died, and her family was thrown into chaos. My Grandma married my Grandfather just before graduating from High School, had my mom a year later, and my uncle 5 years after that. She was in no way prepared to support a family. She ended up losing her children (temporarily, thankfully), my mother to a convent, my uncle to a foster home. When she married my Grandpa, she got her children back. But my mom had learned a lesson, to make…

Meme Monday – You knew this was coming….
Along with the rest of you, I have enjoyed seeing the Bernie memes bouncing around. In case you haven’t seen them all, here are some of my favorites. I like the idea of having them here on my blog, so in a year or two I can look back and remember this specific time. Bernie in art… Bernie in popular culture… Bernie in history, politics, and out and about… For the knitters out there… Bonus Michelle meme…

Meme Monday
One last meme while the shit head is President. We are all looking forward to the end of this Presidency. What a relief it will be to know that the person in charge is not a psychopath. I like Biden just fine. I like Harris even more. But honestly, I would rather have a rock in the White House than Trump. Right now I’m wondering in what order the Presidential pardons will come…my guess is first, people who have paid for them, then friends, then family, then traitors and terrorists who attacked the Capitol building, then he will pardon himself. He’s going to have a busy couple of days. We’re…

Meme Monday
The attempted coup last week was in no way funny. However, I am going to post a bunch of memes/cartoons that I saw online anyway. What I really want to say, however, is screw these assholes. I would add, “And the horse they rode in on” but I like horses, so I will omit that part of the phrase. I have some Republican friends that I love and adore. Thoughtful people who know better and do condemn the President, and do not think it was an Antifa hoax. This post is not about them. I have some Republican acquaintances, people I went to school with or worked with at some…

Meme Monday – Birthday and Politics
I hope you all had a lovely New Year. We did…I had a four day weekend, to celebrate my birthday on Thursday, and then the New Year on Friday. Thursday, Ted and Maya both had asked for the day off but could not get the day off. She had to work in the morning, and he had to work in the afternoon. So in the morning, Ted and I went for a nice walk with Mulder, then we came home and took showers and so on, and he started work. Maya only had to work a half day, so once she was finished we went to our outdoor mall and…

Meme Monday – New Year Version
I’ve been saving this one, and I know in some ways it may feel true. Especially the first few months are bound to be desperate ones as far as this damn virus is concerned. I do hope that things get better as the year goes on, as the vaccine comes available, as we have a more sane administration, as hopefully people can behave after the surge that is bound to happen after Christmas and New Year celebrations. Here’s another meme, while we are bidding farewell to the year that has almost ended. Such a year. From it, I hope that we have learned a few things. Wash your hands Black…

Meme Monday – COVID Christmas Edition
Merry Christmas to everyone, and let’s just hope that 2021 brings us an end to the Pandemic, and an end to the stupidity of Trump and his evil minions. I know things won’t change on January 1st, but I will say that the world already feels lighter and more hopeful, and has to me since the election in November turned out well, and since the announcements of (hopefully) safe and effective vaccines. I’m sleeping better at least. We’ve never spent Christmas just us before. It’s going to feel weird. But we will see some of Ted’s family on Christmas Eve, outside with masks. California is a shit storm right now,…
