Bluntness

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

Washed Out to Sea

 I had baked a pecan pie on my birthday.  Since it's recommended I cut back on high carb / high calorie foods and I didn't want to throw it away, I ate it yesterday.  The entire thing.  I mean, I wasn't about to throw it out.  Why would I waste food?

My brother's taking me out for breakfast this morning to celebrate my birthday.  I will probably eat toast, and several other things.

I am going to stop baking bread for a while.  I bake it frequently, and just as frequently, I eat it.  So many carbs.  I am a carboholic.  Always have been.  Candy, too.  

Today is also a work day.  I really am tempted to call in and take a personal day.  Probably won't.  Either way I'd get paid 8 hours. 

The woman fixing the drywall on the ceiling just realized she had scheduled the repairs over Thanksgiving, a natural mistake since I didn't really know when the holiday was.  She sent me an email asking to start a day earlier.  I just sent her an email asking if she could start after Thanksgiving since the Electrician is scheduled to be here on 11/22.  I'm waiting for a response.

Here's a shot looking out my front door.  Notice the bright golden leaves of my gingko?


And wasn't yesterday fun?  Holy Crap.  Benny Shapiro flipped out on Twitter, blaming the Orange Anus for everything.  The OA, himself, flipped out because it's never his fault.  His entire life has been spent shifting the blame to someone else.  In this case, the blame needs to be spread over the entire Republican hierarchy.  They've been setting themselves up for this ever since they managed to stack the Supreme Court.  Calling your political opponents every name in the book is a fail; the MAGA brain is incapable of understand just how bad the Nazis truly were.  Overturning Roe v Wade hurt the GOP badly.  Their intent to tell women to "shut, we're in charge, and we're going to tell you what you're going to do," simply failed.  America is Centrist, not Conservative, so trying to force Conservative values on the entire country will never work... unless you live in Florida.  Of course, thanks to climate change, Florida will soon be washed out to sea.  Will Republicans learn anything from this?  Probably not, rocks don't think.

    Pecan pie??? I can not begin to tell you how many times I have eaten an entire pie or cake or package of cookies because I was raised believing there were starving children in China that would die to have what I had. Sort of a Diabetics response to "waste not want not".

    Oh, and Happy Birthday also.

      Thanks. I actually only have a big problem with ice cream. I made 2 gallons of homemade and it lasted 2 days.

    Too bad the hurricane didn’t wash Mar a Lago out to sea along with its orange resident.

      That would pollute the entire eastern seaboard and kill all those fish, better he rots on dry land.

    Ok, so I'm not a big fan of pecan pie, but bread? It's my kryptonite. And you know how long it takes to burn those calories...
    As for the Orange Anus, I am so happy they're dragging him for all he's worth (which is not much) and blaming him for the pink trickle. The Red Wave never happened and you are right, America seems to be more centrist than leaning right.
    Love the Ginko!

    XOXO

      Savor this. Pecan pie a la mode? French vanilla ice cream? Unbelievable.

    Happy belated birthday, Dave R. Love pecan pie. Can't wait for Thanksgiving to eat way too much of it. Good luck with the carb reduction and congrats on your new Senator. I have been following Fetterman since he was mayor of Braddock.

      Thanks. You'll find that after a certain age, birthdays are just another day. On of the smartest things Fetterman did was to do that debate and stand in front of a televised audience. That took balls of steel and Pennsylvanians recognized that. They declared him a winner when he had a 3% lead, and they had barely stareted counting the mail in ballots.

    I don't often go on a carb binge but when I do - hoh boy!

      Carbs will crush any attempt at a diet for me.
