sunday not so funnies

signs from today

 this one is from the UK, during Thing Two's "family vacation "

and these were in Colorado...

the behind sign reads 

"Are we great yet? 'Cause I just feel embarrassed."

also,  release the Epstein files 

take the keys

and keep her locked up

lies lies lies

convicted felon Tina Peters is a lying liar who lies and she is exactly where her lying self should be - in  a Colorado prison serving her sentence - the "Democrats" in Colorado did not cheat in the 2020 election - Thing One lost because he's a losing loser who loses

 and he can't sell her a pardon - she was convicted of state, not federal, crimes

p.s. - i can't think that, as vain as Tina Peters is, she would (at 69) appreciate being called "an old woman", not even by her Dear Leader - she is the opposite of innocent or a brave patriot (guilty brazen parrot is more like it) and her only "torture" is being held accountable for blatantly betraying her constituents...

just sayin'

tariffs are taxes

trickle down economics...

the importer pays the tariffs and then passes the tariffs on to you by increasing prices...

tariffs are taxes 

paid for by the American consumer...

that's YOU 

 YOU pay the tariffs 

and the White House is bragging about raising YOUR taxes by $150 billion (that's billion - with a B) without giving a good expletive deleted what YOU think about it 

just sayin'

attempted murder - part two

 

caw caw caw 

museums are woke?!? seriously?!?

after Thing One posted this (direct quote) on his small social media network on the morning of August 19, 2025

"The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of 'WOKE.'"

(there's more - you can search for it with your favorite search engine - if you feel like lowering your IQ)

anywho, i was left wondering who might have written the following Yelp review of The Smithsonian...

"TWO WORDS: BOR-RING. 1 out of 5 stars! Extremely WOKE! Why focus on how bad slavery was when it only affected a VERY SMALL percentage of people AND ended A VERY LONG TIME ago??? Also, don't bother visiting the Holocaust Memorial Museum unless you just really want to ruin your day looking at grainy, old photos of very unhealthy people looking very sad over some bad things that happened almost a hundred years ago! NO THANKS!"

seriously,  who thinks like that?!? 

just askin'

also ... release the Epstein files

grain moon

eating my feelings

Melissa's yellow and green summer squash sauteed in butter with the very first Roma tomato and onions,  hash brown and (a splurge!) scrambled eggs ... think it will lift my moaning myrtle mood?

Sven Thorson

 my Viking, Sven, lost the will to go on in the middle of a seam...

i unscrewed his bottom plate and realized that his innards are beyond my skills - so i put him back together and packed him up for the repair shop ... our sewing machine repair guy lost the will to repair machines, and now there will be a search for his replacement ... difficult ... and there are no dollars to pay anyone, either...

 there would be a huge sigh here, but sighs aren't cutting it this morning...

wah wah wah

Toilets are the perfect place for a good cry. The echo really makes it feel dramatic.
