Bluntness

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

Unreliable

 Well, it's chilly willy cold outside this morning with the temps sitting at a cool 15 (F).  Things freeze fast when it's this cold.  If you don't believe me, you can ask my dogs.

I have  dental appointment this morning.  I don't mind going to the dentist, usually only a cleaning is involved.  Today we'll have to make another appointment to have a filling fixed, part of it fell out.  My employer provides dental insurance for part-timers, $12 a month, which will cover everything, including the cleaning and the free toothbrush they will hand me before I leave the office this morning.

They had candy for us yesterday at work for... you know, Valentines day.  Euhhh.  Most of the good stuff was gone by the time I got there at 1 PM, meaning all I had were Skittles to hit my sugar fix.  Sadly, I did see quite a few Reese's peanut butter cup wrappers in the trash.  For those of you who don't know, I live about 13 miles from the Reese's factory, or what used to be Reese's.  Hershey Foods bought them a long time ago, and in case you're wondering, I live about 14 miles from Hershey.

For those who have interested in what the new tank looks like, here's a pic.


And what about the accounting firm Mazars, USA not only dumping Trump as a client, but sending the New York AG a letter none of the information they've provided her is reliable?  Son of a Bitch!  He's unreliable.  I do not doubt for a second this is going to come as a surprise to many of his MAGA followers.  This makes Loser #45 look like a conniving, lying, sack of shit crook at best.  Oh, and it wasn't specifically about him, but his organization.  Translation, he and all of his spawn are guilty.  If this was you or me, this would drop our credit score from 840 down to 10, or possibly 11.  Probably all of his loans will now fall due, not that he or his spawn will be phased, they'll simply default.  They've done it before.

Reese's candy catastrophe

Evidently there's this big to do going on about Reese's and their peanut butter Christmas trees and, since the Reese's factory is just down the road from me, I thought I might as well comment.  First of all, you have to remember that this is a piece of peanut butter candy dipped in milk chocolate.  Secondly, this is mostly to be eaten, not looked at.  I don't know anybody who unwraps a piece of candy just to look at it.  In fact, there is only one reason this candy tree even exists, and that is to be eaten.  You're not going to frame it and hang it over your mantle.  You're going to take a bite out of it.  It should not be about how it looks, but how it tastes.  Get over it people.  Still, there are those out there who want it to look a lot like this:


Gee, now ain't that cute.  Bet it's homemade.

What's actually inside the wrapper is something like this:


Now, I'll be one of the first to admit that this does not look a lot like a tree.  And I will also admit that perhaps Reese's went a little too far in calling it a tree.  Christmas lump might be more apropos.  But then I also have to admit it is just meant to be eaten.  In fact, the truth is most people will unwrap this bulk produced candy and shovel it into their mouths with out so much as a curios glance.  People, get over it!  There are more important things to think about in this world then they way a freaking piece of candy looks.  Like... will I be finding the new Fallout Four under the Christmas tree this year.
