Is it cold enough?

So my not old enough to be doing this refrigerator is acting up. Thank goodness we have a second one I can use. Yeah, we have two.

Mainly because the minuscule space his parents allotted for a refrigerator when they (cough, cough) ‘designed’ the kitchen only allows for a small one with little space in it.

We were given a fairly new white one when a neighbor moved away that fit actually in the space. It looked better than the old coppertone one we had. We moved the old one to the back porch and put the ‘new’ white one in its place. One problem, the new one given to us died about a year later. We decided to buy another white one rather than drag the coppertone one back inside.

(Confused yet?)

Not long ago, we bought another ‘second’ refrigerator after our ancient one on the back porch died. We were used to having two by then. The new one went on the back porch because we had no size constraints on what we could put there.

So here goes…the one inside is slightly older than the one on the back porch but both are not old. Right now, the one on the back porch is jammed full because the one in the kitchen is acting weird.

We emptied it and unplugged it for a while hoping that maybe a compressor froze up. We’ll see if it stays cold for a couple of days, then I’ll move things back.

Oh no, there’s no global warming…

Usually at this time of year I am making a lot of soups, stews, and other tasty cool weather meals.

We’ve had temperatures in the mid 80s the last couple days.

Neither one of us wants those cool weather meals.

Global warming?

What say you?

Let’s do the Limbo! How low can you go?…

The Republicans are doing the Limbo dance straight to the bank after they pulled another dastardly deed raiding medicare and medicaid to fund the rich (who we know NEED all that money so badly.)

Bunch of smug looking bastards that should all be thrown out of office.

The lack of humanity and compassion in these people is beyond belief. However, research shows that a severe lack of compassion seems to run rampant in the wealthy.

Let’s forget the damned wall…

Let’s forget that damned wall and spend the $10b on healthcare for everyone, putting stolen funds back in social security, and giving all children a proper education.

Money like that could be used for the infrastructure that is such a wreck.

How about taking care of our veterans, feeding and clothing our people, solving the homeless problem.

We don’t need a fucking wall, we need all of the above and more.

#45, tear down that wall!

We do not need that

Brian, the guy that does my lawn maintenance, was here yesterday. After I’d given him his check, he surprised us by knocking on the door. He had a small bouquet of flowers in his hand and told me he’d found them on The Curmudgeon’s truck tire.

Oh, great, this set The Curmudgeon off. No one messes with his truck.

I told Brian to put them by the stop sign, as I realized they were a memorial to the lady that died in our driveway. Yeah. Oh. Fun. Now we’ll be moving flowers from off his truck to not on our driveway. The Curmudgeon is not happy about this.

Vegas a sign of troubling times

The horror of the Las Vegas shooting could have been prevented with stricter gun laws. Wake up and smell the gun powder. Things need to change!

From Newsweek:

Nevada has some of the most relaxed gun laws in the country, a legislative condition that is sure to come under renewed scrutiny in the wake of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history on Sunday night in Las Vegas.

Nevada law does not require firearms owners to have licenses or register their weapons, nor does it limit the number of firearms an individual posses. Automatic assault weapons and machine guns are also legal in the state as long as they are registered and possessed in adherence to federal law, according to the National Rifle Association.

Nevada does not prohibit the transfer or possession of assault weapons, 50-caliber rifles or large-capacity ammunition magazines. Local law enforcement issues concealed handgun licenses. Open carry is legal without a permit.

Let’s stop the hate.

Another day another Orange idiot problem

Putting #45 and the Republicans in charge of this country is like giving the town drunk the keys to the local liquor store.

As CHIP expires unrenewed, Congress blows a chance to save healthcare for 9 million children.

And, it only gets worse.

So #45 cannot get worse?

Wrong! He has gone lower than a snake’s belly and is still finding lower ground to go to.

His twitter comments on the Mayor of San Juan Puerto Rico are beyond offensive.

We need to have him removed from office before he does more harm.
