1960 - 2018
i remember starting with John Ralston and know every coach since then .... except ... who the hell is Eric Studesville? was i asleep in 2010? delusional? um, i don't remember that guy at all. he must have been an assistant coach or something and was put in when McDaniels (cheater) was ousted.
i'll have to look into that. but if i had a million on the table that i could name them all since 1976, i would have never ever remembered him.
go cow!
and you try to tell me they don't know what's going on.
they absolutely DO.
yay for the cow and her baby. 💜💜🐄🐄

oh i have been sick this weekend.
well since last week actually. but Saturday and yesterday were especially bad. my nose is so raw from all the tissue action. sore throat. hard to swallow. sneezing. coughing. wheezing.
yea, i'm a catch.

black monday
it's definitely black monday in the NFL.
several coaches were fired today, including ours. now we are on the hunt for a new head coach and according to John Elway, probably a new QB. Case Keenum did not turn out to be what we thought he was going to be. it was just a rough season all the way around.
"Elway now will search for his next head coach. Elway's inability to find a quarterback helped sink Joseph. Finding a coach and QB combo that can work together is atop the offseason priority list for the GM whose Hall of Fame shine is beginning to finally wane in Denver."
it is pretty sad to think how far we've fallen when only three years ago we won SuperBowl 50. we have not had back-to-back losing seasons in the double digits since 1967. *sigh*
oh how the mighty have fallen.
but alas. i am not a fair-weather fan. i stay true to the Orange and Blue. always and forever. win or lose.
it's just more fun winning.

the legacy
what an amazing article about Resident Chump's disgrace of the Office of the President of the United States.
At least one accusation of rape from an underage minor. A massive, decades-long record of income tax fraud. Seventeen investigations into his activities. Virtually every major organization he has run for two decades under investigation.
A corrupt and fraudulent family
foundation. Hush money to mistresses to help swing an election — felony
violations of campaign finance laws. Seeking and embracing the help of
an enemy to win an election. Repeatedly obstructing justice to cover up
those crimes.
Selling out American
interests to patrons overseas. Profiting from the presidency. Helping
foreign murderers cover up the murder of an American permanent resident.
Attacking our allies. Destroying the international architecture that
has been the foundation of our strength.
Lying to or misleading
the American people on average 10 times a day. Celebrating Nazis as
very fine people. Building detention camps for children on our borders.
Racist policies that turn away good people from our shores. Serial
misogyny. Upwards of 20 allegations of sexual harassment.
An international record of celebrating despots and
autocrats and kleptocrats and brutal totalitarians and enemies.
Unprecedented isolation from America's friends and a repeated record of
insults of them and international rejection of him as a trusted leader.
Attacking
America's law enforcement institutions. Attacking America's
intelligence institutions. Collaborating with fellow travelers in
Congress to circumvent the laws and to undermine decades and decades of
regulation. Irreversible damage done to the environment.
A
campaign to take health care away from the neediest Americans. A
systematic effort to deport productive contributors to our society who
have lived and worked here for decades. Hypocrisy. Vulgarity. Deceit.
Mounting evidence of criminal behavior. Serial violation of his oath of
office. Serial betrayal of his country.
This is our
president. This is the heir to Washington and Lincoln. He stole the
office with the aid of our enemies, and he has done grievous damage to
this country ever since.
Sometimes I walk through Alexandria, Virginia, where I live, past the
places Washington walked, and I have to admit it, it makes me physically
ill. It is hard to imagine that there is a line from George Washington
to Donald Trump, that we could have so squandered the legacies of past
generations.
!!!
he is the biggest imbecile on the face of the fucking planet!!
what part of the word "confidential" doesn't he understand?? fuck! Seals, Rangers, etc are NOT allowed to even tell their families where they are. yet dumbfuck announces it on one of this Twitter posts?!?!
and how dare he have a military jacket on. you know the person who's father bribed a doctor to say he had bone spurs and couldn't be drafted.
omg make it stop!!!

Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts isn't getting any "award noms" because she robbed Ellen Burstyn of the Oscar in 2000 when she won for her role in Erin Brockovich.
her portrayal in that movie was not a "stretch" for an actress. ANY actress could have done well in that film. she didn't play a character beyond a woman in her day to day life.
however, Roberts couldn't hold a candle to Ms. Burstyn's portrayal of Sarah Goldfarb in Requiem for a Dream. she was also up for an Academy Award and i was absolutely stunned that she did not win. and was more stunned that Roberts did. if you haven't seen that movie, it's a must. not for the faint of heart though. here is Ms. Burstyn in a pivotal monologue from the movie.
i truly believe that somehow Roberts "bought" her Oscar that year. and now that she's maybe done an excellent acting job and she's not getting recognition for it - well perhaps that's a bit of karma.
i haven't seen the movie Ben is Back but will probably watch it when it comes on cable. the thing is, for me, i've lived the life of the parent of an addict (still do). i have since my son was 13. he is now 34 and has been clean from meth and other drugs for over 1 year. he's been clean from marijuana for about 1.5 months (he relapsed). there is no actress that could EVER understand that role, as the mother who cries for her son every night, not knowing where he is, if he's safe, warm, or alive, unless they've lived it.
i used to like Julia Roberts circa Pretty Woman days. however, since the robbery in 2000, i haven't watched a film with her in it. we shall see when the Oscar noms come out. if she doesn't get nominated, i could count that as vindication for what she stole from Ms. Burstyn.
updated: interesting i was just reading this article and came across this: "Today the 85-year-old, who’s treated us to memorable on-screen turns in The Last Picture Show, The Exorcist, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (for which she won the Best Actress Oscar), and Requiem for a Dream (for which she was robbed of the Best Actress Oscar), is recognized as one of the finest actresses to ever grace the screen. And she’s far from finished."
oh i concur!!

as if
we all didn't know this already.
once a liar, always a liar. funny that he was taught by his father to be a liar.
he has NO idea about what it's like to serve his country or a damn thing about the military. so his display today about visiting the military in Iraq is freaking meaningless. he's all about the photo op and trying to bolster his image to the general public.
and while he's jaunting around, hundreds of thousands of federal workers will no longer be receiving pay by the end of the week because of the government shut down. they will get retro-pay, but that doesn't help matters when you have to pay rent, mortgage payments, car payments, utility payments and purchase food for your family.
he has the unmitigated nerve to say: "It’s a disgrace what’s happening in our country," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "But other than that, I wish everybody a very merry Christmas."
he is the disgrace. a piece of human excrement.

wow
what a great, great kid. a beautiful testament to how his parents raised him. class act for sure. SOOO many people should take a lesson from him.
not everyone can pay off their parents' debt totally, but it's just appreciating them and letting them know it.
Happy New Year Brady Singer.

perfection of the flop
there is no player more dramatic in sports history than LeBron James. he is really ridiculous.

i miss MJ. i can't wait for *this*.

the day after
it's quiet today. was supposed to snow later (not much but at least some flurries). ugh. apparently now it's not. what happened to our snows here? they've all but disappeared. makes me sad. i love the snow. fall and winter are my favorite seasons. both seem to be fading away and we have spring warm and summer hot all year round. kind of like we are turning into arizona or something. meh.
i am at work but not much is happening. i'm trying to get payroll completed.
in the quietness, i was checking out some videos on YouTube. i came across this one that is mind blowing. these can't be "coincidences" but rather events directed by the Universe. seriously.
the one with the baby and the one about the twin bothers on the Mo-Peds are the freakiest to me.

letting go
i did not hear ftom Skeet today. no happy holidays or merry christmas text.
this is crystal clear. he does not ever want contact with me again.
i'm having such a hard time letting go. but he played me. played with my emotions. my heart. and when i consider this, he is not someone i want in my life. i still believe he was falling for me and he felt it disrespectful to his dead wife to have fallen for someone so soon after hear passing. he led me on. and then ran like a coward. not caring about the destruction he left behind.
i would never trust him again so this truly is the end. 38 years and *poof* it's all over. he truly has been the love of my life.
last time i will ever mention him.

merry christmas eve
the holidays just don't mean the same to me anymore.
when my son was young, i decorated and we celebrated for the month of December. i always tried to make it as festive and happy as possible.
having spent the last 12+ years alone at the holidays, i basically dread it now. i tortured myself yesterday and watch about 5 Christmas movies. people happy. people in love. people loving the "magic" of Christmas.
i just don't find any magic about it anymore. i don't decorate. it's so much about commercialism and how much money you have to buy expensive gifts for people.
ugh. i have a throbbing headache. but here i am. at work. at 2:00pm on Christmas Eve with no where to go and no one who cares whether or not i'm alone.
it is almost as if it wouldn't matter at all if i weren't here anymore. i mean seriously. who would notice or give a fuck since they don't notice or give a fuck now.
no snow in sight, the sun is out. it sucks.

unbelievable
by now you may have heard the story of the veteran who started a GoFundMe page to raise money for Resident Chump's border wall. i've talked about it on here.
i find it disgusting but over 200,000 people have put their names out there that they are racists fucks.
and learning more about the man who started this colossal cluster fuck is Brian Kolfage. what a piece of work this guy is. come to find out (big surprise) he's a race baiter, and has no problem calling #44 a drug loving homosexual. he loves to sue you if you say anything to him that hurts his feelings (defamation of character) but can talk trash about everyone else. hypocrite.
the thing about this GoFundMe page is that it influenced the vote to shut down the government. 400,000 workers are being forced to work for no pay. but wait. does the Resident still get a paycheck? how about the senators? congress? are they working for no pay?
no. of course not.
and leave it to this snot-nosed, pathetic, miscreant to do this right before Christmas.
why does it surprise me? he doesn't give a shit about ANYONE but himself and one of his daughters. you know the one he thinks is hot and would definitely screw if she wasn't his daughter. what father says that kind of shit?
so angry about it, i can't really type about it anymore.
but yea, Merry Christmas Eve.

unhinged
even Republicans are freaking the fuck out.
"The President has taken a wrecking ball to every pillar of stability and security we have erected over the past 60, 70 years," an emotional William Cohen, himself a former defense secretary, told CNN's Jim Sciutto.
And the world had better prepare for an unchained US President.
"There is a lot of concern like I have never seen in my life," Adam Kinzinger, a Republican House member from Illinois, said on CNN, reflecting the sentiments of his colleagues at the events of the last few days.

"There is a lot of concern like I have never seen in my life," Adam Kinzinger, a Republican House member from Illinois, said on CNN, reflecting the sentiments of his colleagues at the events of the last few days.
A senior conservative House GOP member, who supports Trump, told CNN's Jim Acosta: "The wheels may be coming off."
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio warned in a tweet that the Mattis resignation letter
made it "abundantly clear that we are headed towards a series of grave
policy errors which will endanger our nation, damage our alliances &
empower our adversaries."
But critics charge that Trump's troop
withdrawals will simply hand over tracts of the Middle East and
southwest Asia to American's foes such as Iran, Russia, ISIS and the
Taliban.
Another Republican who
usually supports Trump, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, warned an
Afghan withdrawal would pave the way "toward another 9/11."
we told you. we told you in 2016. this would be the biggest mistake the electoral college EVER made. he did NOT win the popular vote. so how does that work? the people did not vote for him, yet he's in office. what is the point of voting then?
i absolutely remember sitting dumbfounded that he had been given the presidency. i still am today, and every single day when i read the news about the latest buffoonery he has displayed. i've been embarrassed for our country as we are the laughing stock of the world. every day i think it can't get worse.
and it does.
i called it
i know i'm not the only one who thought it or said it, but from the very first day, i knew it was him.
the thing is, after the whole Christopher Watts thing, how in the hell did he think he'd get away with it? really?
another douchebag in prison for life.
grrr
i hate this fucking piece of shit so much.
and THIS makes my stomach turn. i mean i literally get sick to my stomach when i read this. it gives me chills up my spine. WTF is wrong with people?? 191,000 narcissistic assholes who support this misogynistic, pathological lying, delusional, insane fuck up. and the guy who started it is a disgrace. an absolute disgrace. fucking white privileged prick. it might as well say "Welcome to the KKK."
i truly wish there was another place to go to get away from this miscreant. i seriously may look into Canada.

facecrook
yes, kids.
another post about FaceCrook.
here is yet another article about how FB used your personal and private information, including private messages. giving the information and/or access to your information to other companies.
Zuckerberg is corrupt as they come.
i missed FB at first. but the longer i have been away, the more grateful i am that FB doesn't have it's claws into my personal information and data.
not that i have a thing to hide; however, when i had FB on my phone, FB did NOT need to have access to every text message i ever sent or received. and you know they did. remember around Cambridge Analytica time? when dude downloaded his FB data? yea. that was it for me.
thank gawd.

i'd say that $5,000 is a nice little xmas bonus. not sure i'd want money going into a 401(K) right now as things are volatile; however, still very cool. gotta love employers who give back to their employees.

hunters are sick
anyone, and i mean ANYONE who can shoot a defenseless animal, minding it's own business, just living, is fucked in the head. i don't buy the "it's for food" excuse.
obviously in this case, that doesn't apply.
this guy is a serial murderer. serial killer. he's demented in the head. to slaughter hundreds of animals for no fucking reason is beyond deplorable.
he should be in jail for a lot longer than a year (of which he will probably spend 6 months). then he'll be out doing this shit all over.
humans suck.

rest in peace always
i haven't felt good today. severe nausea, migraine headache.
i did get out to go grocery shopping and then came right home. "they" said the weather would be warm and in the 50s. i don't think so, when i was out the wind was blowing and it was freezing. ok, well not freezing as in 32° but still very cold.
tomorrow having lunch with my son. today was his wife's birthday. he was able to see her grave for the first time today as well. he did better than he thought he would. he said the sun hadn't shown itself all day until he got to the grave sight. right when he got there the clouds opened and a ray of sun broke through. Adrienne knew he was there and she smiled on him and showed her joy. this was the first time they were together since before she was murdered. he took her a bouquet of her favorite flowers, a cup of her favorite Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte, and a Christmas blanket with puppies on it to keep her warm.
you will always be loved. he is yours and you are his forever. r.i.p. sweet girl. 💜💜

poor kitty
if you are feeding your cat (or dog .. or any pet for that matter) this kind of garbage in the first place, you don't deserve to be a pet owner.
you might as well be feeding your pet grain and ground up pieces of other animals (not the meat or organ meat); i.e. hooves, stomach, bones, etc. that's what "by-product" is. no nutritional value, but just the left overs after the meat is extracted from an animal.
disgusting!!!
feed your pet a well researched, premium, holistic, nutritional, all natural pet food. there are many. and no. Blue Buffalo isn't one of them.

while i haven't agreed with everything Hick has done in his tenure as governor of Colorado, this is probably one of the best.
i am happy for this guy.

i have been listening to a station i created on Pandora seeded from the song Back on My Feet Again by The Babys. that particular song because back when i graduated from high school, i moved in with my fiance. one day i came home from work and found a "treasure hunt" of sorts with notes all over the apartment leading me to the stereo and was told to push "play" on the cassette tape (yes, cassette tape). it was that song.
listening to this station has brought me a flood of memories from that time in my life. the unfathomable heart break breaking up with my fiance, to finding love again with my soul mate, whom to this day still dominates my mind.
skeet.
a short time together during the summer of my 18th year, created a lifetime of thinking about him after our relationship ended later that year. i had never forgotten him. he had contacted me in 1992 or 1993 and we missed another opportunity to be together.
38 years of wondering. wondering if he still had my class ring i had given him. the story behind how i had to replace it because my mother was so pissed that i gave it away and how every time i look in my jewelry box, there sits the replacement and i would think of him.
i truly felt that a Higher Power had brought us back together. he discovered my name and birthday in an old address book he found while cleaning out boxes in the basement. two days before my birthday. he googled me, found my LinkedIn profile and in 2018 on my birthday, 25 years later, he called me at my work.
the second i heard his voice, time stopped for me. it was like being punched in the stomach, all my breath left me. for two months we talked constantly. there were two times that we talked for 16 hours straight. we talked about the past, what we had gone through, what we were going through, the future, our lives, everything. how are feelings were still so strong for one another. all i could think of was "what a love story we will be able to tell the rest of our lives." true love survived. i was the happiest i had been in my entire life. he had been married and she had passed away almost a year earlier. they had been married 21 years and were best friends and very much in love.
i had never found love after him. sure, i had relationships, but he never left my heart or my mind. none of those relationships lasted. nothing ever stuck.
i truly believed that this was my time. that all the bullshit i had ever been through, all the hurt, physical and mental abuse, lies, cheating, was going to be washed away because he was back in my life.
2 months of bliss. two months of my heart racing when i'd see his phone call come in. or a text message. we planned a meeting at a restaurant where he used to go while he was in town that summer working on a ranch. that was for August 13. reunited. spend a day together. trip to the mountains to watch the persied meteor shower that night. i couldn't wait to see him again.
and then on March 31, 2018, he said it was over.
i was gutted. destroyed. devastated.
he said he never led me on, that i was just projecting these wishes and dreams. that he was just being a friend. that it all meant nothing. not even when he whispered to me on one of the 16 hour calls "i like you soooo much." and the 16 hour marathons - that was just catching up. it all meant nothing, really. and he was just gone.
and i'm still not over him/it. 38 years of wondering, wishing, dreaming, hoping, daring to believe. gone. over. in 2 months.
The Flame. i hadn't heard it since the 80s, but it was my song about him. i cried every time i heard it. through those years. but it's been probably 20 years since i heard it.
i cried today too.
and then heard If You Needed Somebody by Bad Company. so i looked up the video. ironic thing is that's about how he looked when i met him. almost identical to that guy.
*sigh*

and so it begins
i called it.
this does not surprise me at all.
dude lawyered up right away. if you had nothing to do with anything, why would you need to do this? and criminal defense attorneys are not cheap. so unless you had something to hide, why jump that way right out the gate?
and one thing that has bugged me. right from the beginning, the first article said that after she was seen at the grocery store, she and her "fiance" met to "exchange" their daughter. that made my feelers go up right away. having worked in family (divorce) law early in my career, you would only meet the other parent to "exchange" your kids if there was contention and discord. parents going through a divorce would meet in a parking lot at a McDonald's or something to exchange the kids for visitation purposes so as not to cause drama at either household.
if they were still together (as he claims), why would they have to meet in a parking lot somewhere to exchange their daughter? that doesn't make sense.
big. red. flag.
a vigil was held last night in the community. a family member made some interesting comments when asked why did they wait 10 days to report her missing.
this is not going to end well. i hope her mother gets custody of the baby when he goes to prison.
seriously, i should have gone into law enforcement. i would love to be a detective.

sickening
it is really and truly sad and sickening to me that "men" do not believe women, girls, children when they are sexually assaulted.
they are liars.
they came on to me.
they deserved it.
it was consensual.
to find out there is a history of rape kits being destroyed across the country is pathetic. no wonder women don't want to report. they are made to feel like they are at fault.
having been sexually assaulted by a school bus driver when i was 12 ... and realizing years later in my adult life that it happened more than once and my mother let him come to the house to pick me up (who does that???) and take me out in the country or his house, i realize has affected my entire life in relationships.
so many broken women and girls. to be violated in such a way and to live with the fact that no one cares about what is happening or has happened to you, is devastating.
my heart breaks for all of us.

good 'ole boys in Texas
so the DA speaks out on why she offered (and accepted) a plea deal. i don't know that i buy her story completely; however, really?
because the victim is a virgin, bruising and other injuries to her vaginal area can't be proven as rape because it could have been consensual. and a NURSE of all people, said that the defendant didn't "look like a rapist." wow. just wow.
hope that nurse is not an ER nurse and never is responsible for taking a rape kit.
my heart goes out to this victim. and this piece of shit will get his someday.
karma is a bitch.

this is the life
ahhhhhh. nothing like a little pampering. hair in a turban, just chillin in the tub.
really?
WOODLAND PARK, Colo. — The fiance of a Woodland Park woman missing since Thanksgiving is cooperating with law enforcement, according to a statement issued by his lawyer Wednesday.
really?
1st. so did Christopher Watts.
2nd. why did he need to hire a lawyer right away? you know if he's cooperating and all.
at this point, i would bet my next paycheck that he's involved.

what the fuck??
this is completely insane. i mean i am shaking i am so mad.
Ex-Baylor Frat President will not go to prison for four counts of sexual assault. are you KIDDING ME???? he pleads to a lesser charge of unlawful restraint, gets a 3 year deferred sentence and pays a $400 fine. after three years, this bullshit is expunged from his record.
"The evidence is incredible," Vic Feazell, the woman's attorney, told KWKT. "He nearly choked her to death. He raped her violently. He left her passed out in her own vomit -- the rape exam confirmed rape."
the DA who gave this deal should be fired and not allowed to practice law EVER again. this is just another fucking story of a rich white boy getting off for his despicable criminal behavior and being told that his action of totally defiling a woman is okay. and we fucking wonder why men always think it's okay to sexually abuse a woman. because our society tells them it's OK!!!
here is the victim's impact statement.

I have to live with the fact that
after all these years and everything I have suffered, no justice was
achieved. I have to live with the fact that my rapist will go home
smiling and happy and laughing at me. He stole my body, virginity and
power over my body and you let him keep it for all eternity. (Assistant
District Attorney) Hilary Laborde (where are you Ms. Laborde? Are you
here in the courtroom? No?) and you (District Attorney) Abel Reyna
(where are you? Are you here? No?)
If
I had the courage to come back to Waco and face my rapist and testify
you could at least have had enough respect for me to show up today. You
both will have to live with this decision to let a rapist run free in
society without any warning to future victims. I wonder if you will have
nightmares every night watching Jacob rape me over and again.
Of
my body lying unconscious and alone in the dirt waiting to die. Of my
face transforming in your nightmares into someone you love. Your mother,
your daughter, your niece, your granddaughter, your best friend, your
wife, your girlfriend. Jacob Walter Anderson. It must be horrible to be
you. To know what you did to me. To know you are a rapist. To know that
you almost killed me. To know that you ruined my life, stole my
virginity and stole many other things from me.
i am sick to my stomach.
Just like Brock Turner

i am offended
guess i should have thought about this when i was in 9th grade at Longmont Jr. High School which became Sunset Middle School when they changed Jr. High from 7th, 8th and 9th grade to 6th, 7th and 8th grade and then put 13-14 year old girls (9th graders) in schools with 18 year old boys (seniors). however, that's a whole other rant. anyway ....
i guess wasn't a freshMAN, i should have been a freshMORE (like sophomore). 😒
just for definition purposes:
Freshman is commonly in use as a US English idiomatic term to describe a beginner or novice, someone who is naive, a first effort, instance, or a student in the first year of study (generally referring to high school or university study).
New members of Congress in their first term are referred to as freshmen senators or freshmen congressmen or congresswomen, no matter how experienced they were in previous government positions.
High school first year students are almost exclusively referred to as freshmen, or in some cases by their grade year, 9th graders. Second year students are sophomores, or 10th graders, then juniors or 11th graders, and finally seniors or 12th graders.
At college or university, freshman denotes students in their first year of study. The grade designations of high school are not used, but the terms sophomore, junior, and senior are kept at most schools. Some colleges, including historically women's colleges, do not use the term freshman but use first year, instead. Beyond the fourth year, students are simply classified as fifth year, sixth year, etc. Some institutions use the term freshman for specific reporting purposes.
when? when does this stop. i mean seriously. STOP IT!

hand me a tissue
poor whiner millennial Ariana Grande had a bad year. i mean really bad. so much so she had to cry about it while accepting the Billboard Woman of the Year award.
my 34 year old friend who is in stage 4 kidney failure due to complications from Type 1 diabetes has had a bad year. she is married with three kids. one girl in college and two boys in high school. she is sicker than a dog every day, constant trips to the doctor to be poked, prodded and have blood taken from her. ER visits when she gets so dehydrated from vomiting so much. can't keep food down. is still working full-time to help support her family and keep her health insurance. and i talked to her today about how she wants to just give up because she's so tired. she knows she's dying. she knows there isn't much hope for her. and she's just exhausted.
she's not going to see her kids get married. she's not going to see her grandchildren.
but Ariana had a horrible year, yo. she had a breakup with a guy she got engaged to after knowing him for 2 months and her drug addicted ex-boyfriend died of an overdose. and you know she's had to keep her shit together, yo.
fuck you. my friend should be Woman of the Year. she's gone through more in the last year than you ever will in your entitled, spoiled, little life.

pot, meet kettle
in what fucking universe is this acceptable? for a President? current or former?
every day i am more baffled (if that's even possible). how in the hell is this miscreant our President? what is wrong with the people that voted for this deranged lunatic? i mean seriously. there isn't feasibly ONE positive thing you can say about this ridiculous excuse for a human being.
what. the fuck.
baby Jesus please get me through the next two years.

the cost of forever stamps are going to increase from $.50 each to $.55 each in early January.
stock up now at the cheaper price. because, you know, they last forever even if prices go up again.
PS: the Frozen Treats stamps are scratch-n-sniff! (yes, i have had them and verify this information.)

and so it continues ...
now we are banning songs from Disney.
we need to ban every single song in the universe if it talks about a male or a female. so sick of this utter nonsense.
but wait! we should ban all Disney animated movies. what about Beauty and the Beast? Cinderella promotes bullying and child abuse. we could go on and on.
ban. fucking. everything.

i don't understand how this is even possible. seriously. WTF?
20 Most Expensive Drugs
i am appalled. what human being (other than a rich sports athlete or entertainment celebrity) could afford this? forget asking the government to step in and do something about it as they are just as greedy as the pharmaceutical companies are.
$52,332 a MONTH????????? shit, i don't even make that in a year.
i read an article last night that says we are living in chaos. it's constant. it's all consuming. and it's beyond absurd.
how on earth can anyone sustain?

that's what i say
i've been saying this for years.
i started by saying no child (pre-tween, teenager, etc) should have a computer and access to the internet in their bedroom. they should only be able to use a family computer in a family room where anyone can walk by and check in.
this article is really disturbing. i do know that if i had a young child, tween, teenager, they would not be allowed a cell phone until they were 16 and had a job.
i don't know exactly what 10 year old should be doing but i absolutely DO know that it shouldn't be begging someone not to commit suicide on a social media app. this floored me.
what have we done to our children? what happened to our social interactions with others? every day i feel like we are closer and closer to living in the world of Demolition Man where you have intimacy with VR goggles and the best restaurant in the world is Taco Bell.

this is all bad.
not that we had a season anyway. no chance of playoffs, etc. but this is bad for him. ugh.
as far as the Broncos, i'm shocked Joseph still has a job. two straight losing seasons. takes me back to the 80s 90s. i mean we have had losing seasons before. but it really is hard to take after the grand win at SB50. it's always a fun time when your team is doing well.
no one talks about it, but isn't the NFL just like "slavery?" i mean you're "owned", you can be sold, bought, traded for other people. you have to go where you're told. and once you're worn out, you're nothing. tossed aside like yesterday's newspaper.
these are things i think about all the time.

steve perry
if you know me, you know that Journey was one of my favorite bands of all time. i had every album, saw them three times in concert. was madly in love with Steve Perry. i remember being heartbroken when he left Journey. it was hard to understand.
just came across this interview which really made me smile. i've heard tracks off his new album, Traces, and love them. not the same, not better but different. glad to hear and know he's back.
we missed you.

earthlings + unity
i was trying to figure out how long it's been since i've eaten meat. i'm guessing roughly 10 years? it was the movie Earthlings that put me over although i've had what i call "meat guilt" since i was a child.
i remember at 5 or 6 eating chicken off the bone and thinking how barbaric it was and what if a big giant came along and cooked my leg and ripped my flesh from the bone while he was eating it.
now, i don't know how many cows it takes to create 12 million pounds of beef, but i bet it's a lot. hunters and meat eaters say things like "our ancestors did it to survive" or "PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals."
why are people so outraged at the Chinese for slaughtering dogs to eat them and then stick a fork into their steak? sentient beings are all the same. cows have emotions. pigs have emotions. turkeys. chickens. they are family driven. they experience fear. love. why is it okay to eat them and not okay to eat dogs, cats or horses? it's not.
you cannot say you love animals and turn around and eat them.
you can watch the movie for free here: Earthlings
don't be complicit.

well, i just stopped listening to our local radio station KOSI 101. forever.
do people really have so little to do? REALLY?
a song that has been playing since 1949 and has been recorded by multiple very talented artists. a light-hearted song that now "millennials" think is talking about date rape drugs and kidnapping has been banned from multiple radio stations across the country. it's been a staple in the holiday music repertoire for as long as i can remember.
but now in the #metoo movement, which don't get me wrong, i support 100%, this song has been deemed reprehensible.
i guess we should ban Little Red Corvette by Prince because that song talks about a prostitute and is degrading to women, right? or one of the other tens of thousands of songs that reference women in a negative light.
when does it stop? seriously. WHEN? if you are offended by a song, i have an idea. CHANGE THE STATION. press skip. fast forward. whatever it takes. just like you don't watch movies that are offensive to you. but what behooves you to make sure NO one gets to choose what they want to listen to? who died and made you god?
is it your lifes mission to be the morality police and force everyone to think how YOU think?
isn't that just a bit narcissistic?
oh but wait. we ARE talking about millennials. narcissism is their middle name.
UPDATE:
i just looked at a poll on KOSI 101 website. they asked their listeners if they should be playing "Baby It's Cold Outside" and only 5% say no ... 95% say yes. out of 11,824 responses, 591 people said no. 10,641 other people say play it. *smdh*

Sully
sully will return to America's VetDogs in New York through the holiday season before joining the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center's Facility Dog Program. he will go onto to serve and love other deserving Veterans. he will not be assigned to a specific person but will rather be a "rover" (no pun intended).
i miss this dog still ...

i subscribed to Pandora Premium a bit ago and am on a free trial. today i was in a "soft rock" kinda mood and holy crap - what memories! this is just a sample of what i've heard:
mike and the mechanics - silent running
sade - kiss of life
broken wings - mr. mister
if you don't know me by now - simply red
holding back the years - simply red
johnny hates jazz - shattered dreams
little red corvette - prince
takin me back to a much better time - although at the time i was thinking the same thing i am today. hindsight is 20/20 isn't it? go figure.

this has always been a bad time of year for me. always. but trying to go off depression meds at this time has been a particular challenge. why am i going off? because i can't afford them anymore. with pharmaceutical prices on the rise, what is a person supposed to do? and because i have the crappiest insurance in the world (UnitedHealthCare), they will not cover the latest med i was prescribed despite my having tried every other fucking anti-depressant there is out there. and literally, the world is going berserk when they are raising prices so much on things like insulin, that people aren't going to be able to afford that either. what kind of world do we live in? you have to be rich just to be able to take care of your health??
having anxiety and panic attacks. it's hard for me to want to get up and get ready for work. i'd rather just stay in my pajamas and snuggle with my cat. i don't have the desire to talk to anyone. don't want to answer the phone (not that anyone is calling).
i just am so over everything, you know? read a really tragic story about an adult woman who suffered from depression her whole life and she ended up jumping off a cliff in the Grand Canyon. her family could not understand. why is it so hard to understand that some people just honestly do not want to deal with life anymore? and they aren't being selfish. they are in so much pain that people can't see or make tangible. isn't it a little selfish to expect a person to live like that? just because it will make you sad if they are gone?
ugh.
don't trip about this post. i'm just talking.
