[“Free Covid test kits”] Who cares? The Covid scare is over. “Covid” ended with the Super Bowl where, to prove the point, 60,000 people crowded together without masks. And no one died who wasn’t going to die anyway. The people have given up and are learning to live with Covid. |
![]() They say, “We have about 25”. We stop. Ask the garden person where are they. He looks dumfounded, admits he doesn’t know what they are or what they look like. Bingo, not one cordyline in the store! We stopped at a garden center down the keys and got our 2 replacements. How do these monster stores stay in business? please tell me? |
Why do these crazy drivers speed up to a red light? |
[Fat Bottom Girls] I’m not trying to be rude or funny but can someone please explain the recent infatuation with huge Botox butts? I think they look silly. It’s almost like the girl has a suitcase or duffel bag on her back end. Queen – Fat Bottomed Girls |

[“History and the Church”] All through history there are whose who would burn books or edit them to remove unpleasant parts of history. This is a fatal mistake unless you want to relive history. You can skip over the parts you don’t like but don’t try to change them or ban them or remove them. |

[PCs And Phones] I am starting to realize how completely people are who use nothing but cellphones and not real computers anymore. It is scary how they are so closeted. |

[“Check out frustration at supermarket”] We could go on and on. These people who are working in the stores are useless. I used to feel sorry for the workers who worked the self-checkout since automation was going to take their jobs away. Now I embrace it! From Southwest Airlines to Ikea stores, humans are treated as cattle, and the clerks (or customer service agents) are just window dressing. |

[There’s a hole in the bucket, there’s a hole …] According to records obtained by The Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act, Mexican smuggling gangs have sawed through and breached segments of the new border wall 3,272 times in the past three years. Mexico to pay for it. They didn’t. There were claims the wall would be erected within months. It wasn’t. Declared to be impenetrable. It isn’t. The previously undisclosed maintenance records the newspaper obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol show that the federal government has spent $2.6 million repairing breaches to the wall between 2019 and 2021. Battery-powered angle grinders and demolition saws and then, under cover of darkness, cut through the base of the 18 to 30 foot tall steel bollards. Once severed, the steel beams easily can be pushed aside to create a gap wide enough for people to pass through. Link |

[Bad News] It is amazing how the media has brainwashed the public into viewing the unimportant junk news they display online instead of real-world news. It’s turning this generation into 1984 useless eaters and blind followers! |

[Double Bagging Problem] I have a solution to your double bagging problem. Buy some re-usable bags and no one will question your bagging skills, you will be able to put a lot more in them, and it will help our fragile environment. Also, it will be a big middle finger to the oil companies that make money from single use plastic bags. Winner-winner-chicken-dinner |
