I disagree. Its the way the news is being reported, with lies and propaganda (misinformation, or whatever that trendy word is these days), that’s upsetting me.
When did all the news reports become biased editorials.… Read the rest
Why are game shows teaching people to scream, jump and jump on other people and things?
My Mother likes to watch game shows: The Price is Right, Let’s Make a Deal, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, and the odd other. Wheel of Fortune is the only game show I haven’t seen anyone jump on the host.… Read the rest
Fast food restaurants should begin serving happy meals for pets.
People seem to be having less human children and more pets. Some call themselves their pet’s parent. (I have never called myself the parent of an animal). People seem to need to keep their pets with them and bring them in the car. So, why don’t fast food restaurants have a happy meal for cats, another for dogs, one for assorted other pets like snakes, gerbils, rats, etc.… Read the rest

Language is an art. You can make it say anything you want it to. Fiction and non-fiction, they just work a little differently.

I started typing in this post and then the Internet decided to die. Usually, the post would manage to be saved as a draft, this one didn’t make it. So, although it only matters to me, this post is being written a second time around. Kind of right when thinking of Cassandra Peterson, better known as her character, Elvira.… Read the rest
Sometimes there are things you want to say or post that just don’t agree with what you are allowed to say. I have decided to stop posting any of my real thoughts, other than general fluff and stuff people want to hear, on Twitter. Posting about real things upsets people and they don’t like that.
