I was out of debt four years ago. The Dave Ramsey Debt Bomb worked great, and other than the car and house I had no debt at all. And I owned another house free and clear that I was about to get back. Days away from eviction day, and then I could sell it to someone who would actually pay me for it. Crazy thought that. Things were looking up. Of course there was that weird WuFlu touching our western shores with a few thousand confirmed cases. But even the target demo of old people with underlying conditions suffered less than 1% deaths, making it way less dangerous than previous pandemics. All we really had to do was take care of them and everybody else should be okay. Trump’s national emergency declaration was just a preventative measure. Right?
I went to court four years ago. Me and Mom drove up to Northern Minnesota where my house and the courthouse was. We ate at a Pizza Ranch along the way, filled with other people enjoying some of the best buffet pizza in the world. In a darker moment of speculation, I wondered if we were ever going to go back again. There was that crazy flue spreading out of China after all. Never knew where that could lead, but it wasn’t affecting us. I dressed up in a suit, and we went to court to deal with a man who had decided he wasn’t going to pay for the house he bought from me. My lawyer did all the talking, the judge ruled the man had to leave, and placed an eviction date of March 20 on the case. I was about to get my house back, and the world was good.
Last week’s 60 Minutes of Hate from President Biden showcased him shouting at his many domestic enemies, including Trump, the Supreme Court, and unarmed protestors. And he was very vocal when it came to supporting the golden jewel of Ukraine from Russian aggression. He was less vocal when it came to Hamas and their October 7 attack on our ally Israel. He didn’t even mention the Israeli and American citizens currently held hostage by Hamas, but he did tell us that he was going to send the Navy in to build a new pier in Gaza so it will be easier to send supplies there. I’m certain Hamas will be thankful to their sugar daddy for the gifts he will bring them. Our ally Israel… maybe not so much. Our allies deserve better than these people…
Last week’s 60 Minutes of Hate from a President Biden probably high on his son’s drugs sported a shouting mad Biden spewing the typical lies and vitriol towards anybody who doesn’t share his glorious vision for the future. He compared Trump to Hitler, called unarmed protestors a knife to the heart of his Democracy, and threatened the Supreme Court. The father of a Marine killed in Afghanistan and another son who committed suicide at the grave found himself arrested for daring to protest Biden, and Biden couldn’t even accurately name the young nurse recently murdered by, we think, an illegal alien. And of course the Democrats were angry that Biden called him an illegal, not that he couldn’t say her name. We really do deserve better than these people…
It was my birthday last weekend, and I had a great time with friends. Spent the week before setting up for them to arrive and then we played games. It was great. Then I spent this week finishing up a story I wanted to finish for an open call and spent Saturday once again playing games with friends. And today is a birthday dinner with my dad. You could say the last two weeks have been a great time celebrating another year of surviving on this rock we call home. And I’m tuckered out. I’ve had a lot more people time than normal the last two weeks, and while I loved it, I am a bit peopled out. Hehehe. I look forward to more get togethers, but I also look forward to recovering from them as well. 😉
