Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Twitter strikes back

First off, a BIG apology to everyone who left a comment yesterday morning, I went to publish and hit 'Delete' instead and those comments disappeared... forever.  Your voices are all very important, so a big apology.
Yesterday the lawn was mowed and the weeds were wacked.  I'm clearing out the area on the far side of the fence.  Originally there had been grass there, but I left it grow wide.  The grass is coming back.
I also went to my neighborhood Giant to pick up dry dog food.  I always buy the big bags since the 10 lb bags only last about 5 days and they're more expensive.  And they were sold out.  Every other facing with large bags of dog food was filled, but not the Beneful.  Now, I understand everything is contracted (I work in retail, remember); Purina gets only a certain number of facings for each of their brands.  Beneful is allowed space for two 28 lb bags and when they're gone, they're gone until the next delivery.  This is a regular occurrence.  Well, not anymore.  I went home and ordered from Chewey.com.  The dog food arrives today.
For those who didn't see (and I'ms sure there are one or 2 of you out there) Twitter has calling the Idiot Jerk on his lies.  Now, they didn't come right out and say he's a lying sack of shit, what they did do is note something is false and provide a link to the truth.  His lie was about mail in voting and they called him on it.  He does not like to be called a liar, and that's happening more and more and more.  Americans are fed up with him.  I would not be surprised if he and Melanoma have already made a list of what to steal take  when they get kicked out of the White House.  
This afternoon Space X is launching Americans into space.  It is about time.  We belong there.
Finally, some more of my roses.  I've Dahlias coming up all over the place.  And zinnias.  But here is a pic of the white and pink rose bush.

  1. Twitter fact-checked him, found out they were lies and let them stand.
    So his minions will still read and believe them.

    1. Of course they will, but the fact checking cuts back on the shock value.

  2. It is about time we started to control the lies on social media. I have also been ordering my cat food online. I still go to the store to get my own food.

    1. It's a first for me with the dog food. I'm too cheap to buy my own food on line.

  3. Your flowers are so pretty. I always enjoy seeing them.

    I'm having one of those moments when everything about this country is making me almost physically ill. Dump, his supporters, evil racism, the way the pandemic has been handled. Some days it just all seems like too much. ☹

    1. It will pass, just like he will.

      After seeing your pictures of zinnias last year, I planted some of my own. I can't wait.

  7. Love your rose bush! I hope I get some plants in my mini-garden. It's my first experiment with outdoor plants and I have to say you and John (of Going Gently) were my inspo.
    As for Twitler, the meltdown was delicious. it's also shameful that a fucking social network would have to fact check the president of America, but it's 2020 so yes.

    XOXO

    1. He did flip out, didn't he? And just because they called him a liar to his face.

      Delete
  8. He'd never shut down Twitter, my god where would he vent?!?!

    I never understood space travel. I think money could be better spent on other things. Besides if we did find other life, Id feel sorry for them. We'd ruin their planet and lives too.
