Bluntness

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

Will there be Conflict?

Tuesdays are usually garbage days, except on holidays, or except when we have Mondays like yesterday with ice and snow.  Since those big trucks didn't go around yesterday, they make their Monday rounds on Tuesday.  Garbage day for me will be tomorrow.  Good.  I've a lot to put out.

I did drive over to my local Giant supermarket after shoveling and scraping my way out yesterday to buy myself an ice cream reward for all of my hard work.  No, the dogs didn't get any.  They didn't help shovel.  In fact, while Lily was outside for a bit, Seig was sleeping soundly on the sofa.  In case you didn't know, dogs sleep about 18 hours a day.

And yes, I did eat the whole thing

My aunt's viewing / funeral is Thursday morning.  I'll stop in to say to my cousins, but then leave.  I'm not a big funeral person.  They rarely celebrate the person's life, rather their intentions aim more to wring out a few tears and to propound upon an afterlife.  I don't think people even remotely understand how long an eternity truly is.

And I saw this in Al Jazeera yesterday, yes, I do find other viewpoints interesting.  Civil War in the United States.  I do believe many Conservatives have not problem with the idea of this country going to war with itself.   Let's be honest here, they are not intelligent.  I like the part where the author calls them 'hillbillies.'  Honestly, these people, the Cawthorns, and the Marjorie Taylor Greens, and the Boeberts,  have no concept of history, they believe themselves to be special, to be chosen.  These same thoughts prevailed in the Conservative south prior to The Civil War.  Many actually believed the 'war' was going to be over in a few, short weeks.  It wasn't.  What they thought was going to be an easy peasy victory turned out to be a long, bloody conflict.  In the end, they got their asses beat.  And the Republicans today?  Clueless as Hell.  The only way to peaceably remove them from power is to vote them out, otherwise conflict is possible.  Either way they're going to lose.

  1. Yes, vote, and then vote, and then vote again in every election you can from the bottom to the top.

    1. You would think that people would have realized by now that Conservatives only care about Conservatives.

  2. That's what I think too. They often have interesting news bits.

    I have long thought something is going to blow. Were currently at a hard boil with the lid about to fly off.

    1. I check their news feed daily.

      Selfishness will destroy the Conservatives.

  3. Ice cream is such a good treat.
    And Al Jazeera actually has great reporting. Their point about the country going to war with itself is not unfounded. Americas are indeed an uncultured, selfish bunch. They voted Marge three names and Nazi Poster Boy into office, no? They ARE a reflection of their constituents.
    And I have not been to a funeral in years. I don't like them.

    XOXO

    1. And those 2 names you brought up are from the south, the land that never learns.

  4. I don't think there will be civil war, but I do think there could be Northern Ireland civil unrest and bombings. People forget we had those things going on in the 60's. Sorry for your lose. I don't like funerals either.

    1. The unrest is a definite possibility. One of the bad things about funerals is people wanting to know how many people show up.

  5. Don't blame you for not sharing your ice cream!

    1. If I could live on ice cream alone, I probably would
