Kristi Noem the republican governor of South Dakota is in the news but not in a good way depending on how you feel about dogs. Noem is a strong contender for Trump's VP.

Noem writes that she "hated the dog" as it was "untrainable." The dog was “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.

“At that moment,” Noem says, “I realized I had to put her down.” So she took Cricket to a gravel pit and took care of it herself. It took two shots.

Double standards are principles that are viewed as acceptable for use by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable and taboo, when used by another group. The double standard can be described as biased and unjust because it violates a basic tenet of modern jurisprudence: that all parties must stand on an equal footing before the law.

It's everywhere !! Women on dating and social media sites with photos of their large backside. I'm not attracted to big butts and don't understand the concept... Is it actually a lure for men, or do women with big butts only believe it is?



In high school I often heard the phrase: The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'
Maybe there's truth to that statement. I don't know.

Y'all canNOT make this suff up.

Upon Your lips sweet bliss awaits speak with fire now wild one!

The subject of whether or not if Trump has absolute presidential immunity went to the Supreme Court. They delayed it going on their busy schedule until it got to a critical point of them making a decision. When they got around to discussing the topic, they rendered a decision without making a decision... It's called a delay.
Favoring Trump, the king of delay tactics, gets a delay. Their inability to show some cojónes gave him what he needs. So there is a chance it will be (conveniently) scheduled after the election. He gets what he wants and their hands aren't dirty.

One reader comment on the subject of immunity, made an important observation:
The Supreme Court has lost their integrity.

Maybe you are like me and have a long list of things that really piss you off. I'll start with websites returning a 404 message. Comcast is my internet provider and this week, they sent out a new gateway/router with minimal instructions that required me to download their app on my phone to set the unit up. I don't want to use my phone and was looking for a way to do this via desktop computer. Calling customer service is a process because they are resistant to allow me to speak to a person. Their system is designed to be fully automated, which is okay if you only need one of the 5 problems listed in their menu system.

I wasn't getting anywhere because my request wasn't in their menu and (stupidly) accepted instructions by text. That wasn't any better. I called back and waited for live assistance. It sounded like the woman had a dog and baby in the background... probably working remote. She explained I could go to their website and make the selection 'activate' that will give me the necessary details to setup the new equipment by desktop computer. That's when I received a 404 message.


Okay, I'll try this YOUR WAY and downloaded the app, but it was asking all kinds of bullshit questions like alternate phone numbers and email addresses. Just get me to the setup page! Well... that didn't happen.

I read about Tourette syndrome and guess an episode was beginning to take hold of me. Thinking of a logical way out... the gateway I've been using wasn't broken, so I didn't see a need to switch to a new one that could require me to setup passcodes of all of the 16 devises in my house. I dropped the new gateway in the shipping carton and went back to work.

Always expected... there's a survey after the call to customer service that I'm known to ignore. This time, I actually went through the process, trying not to use profanity when filling out the 'other' selection that gave me the opportunity to actually type in a 404 message ended my desire to install the equipment. The old gateway wasn't broken and there wasn't any need to fix it.

My guess is I'll get an email followup about the setup.

Maybe I should switch from cable at $90 a month to wireless 5G home internet from my cellular provider at $60 a month. That sounds tempting.

In the mean time, I'll be thinking of more things that reallypissme off...

Yesterday, I deleted all the dating apps that I had on my phone, and cancelled the subscriptions. It's a money pit anyway, and I didn't really get any messages from people I matched with. One of the apps is set up, so the woman is the first to write. After 24 hours of no messages, the match expires.

I was on that app for quite a few months. I think for about a year. During that time, I had matched with five people, but no messages came after the match was mutual. Finally, I had had enough and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and the app itself from my phone.

The other one was a no match bonanza as well, so I threw in the towel and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and deleted the app as well.

I now only have two dating profiles. One on Facebook dating and this. I use this profile for the blogs, so technically it doesn't count. Will I be back on those apps again? No. Too much time and money wasted.

Today, I found a job posting for a warehouse job at a company that's literally in nerd heaven. They are looking for someone who has warehouse experience, and is familiar with picking and packing orders - which fits me well. Deadline for applications is tomorrow, so I have sent an application today. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon. If not, I'm just going to continue working where I currently work.

Fingers crossed.

Years ago, there were stories about Americans vacationing in Philippines who were detained by airport security when a single bullet was found in a coat pocket. Arrested and forced to pay fines to be released from jail. The 'bullet-planting' scandal was eventually resolved by investigation.
Twice this month, I've seen stories about Americans with bullets in their luggage. They were detected in a foreign country while on vacation. Security there isn't lenient in the least. Prison and huge fines. One guy is facing a 12-year sentence.

No guns... only a few bullets that (he said) wasn't cleaned out of his luggage before going on a trip.

Some reader comments did ask the question as to why the bullets weren't found by security scanning BEFORE they left the US?

Bullets in your baggage... Don't leave home with them!

Are you better off now than you were four years ago? I'm certainly not, along with many other people.
