But at least you didn’t get a butt in your face
My husband went to the bloodmobile to give blood today. When he got home, he said, “I had to wait in line an hour, they couldn’t find a vein, and there weren’t any Nutter Butters.”
“My day was worse,” I said. “The TV went off while Mama (my mother lives with us) was watching Bonanza, she spilled her Ensure on the carpet, I tried to go to the grocery store to get some more Ensure, and found out I lost my car keys.”
“I guess your day was worse,” my husband said.
Later I told my sister about the TV…
Lol. Thanks for reading, Michael. This ID thing has become quite controversial.
President Biden described the voting changes as “an atrocity.”
The new Georgia voting laws have elicited a national uproar, but is it warranted? Will the new laws return us to the era of Jim Crow restrictions designed to keep Blacks away from the polls?
“It’s backlash for Georgia electing its first Jewish and first Black senators,” according to U.S. Sens John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
President Biden described the voting changes as “an atrocity.” He told reporters, “They passed a law saying you can’t provide water for people standing in line while you’re waiting to vote. …
Humor
People flocked to my glowing screen with its provocatively subtle message.
My popularity has soared during the pandemic, which might be why I am getting snarky.
Truthfully, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Popularity is not all it’s cracked up to be.
I was feeling beautiful and superior at first, when people began choosing me over the regular human cashier. Her formerly friendly smile was concealed by an unflattering mask and a plate of plexiglass, bringing a smirk to my normally serene countenance.
Abandoned and ignored by those who preferred human interaction, I was used to sulking and glowering in my corner of the store.
But the pandemic changed everything. Suddenly the…
If you’re a creator rather than a news reporter, your stories need a personal slant.
Writing a blog post gives me the chance to be creative and convey any message I want. No subject is off limits. I can be political, personal, spiritual, funny, or passionate.
That’s why I love this platform. Writing creatively, connecting with readers, and conjuring up stories out of thin air is an amazing high for me.
But when I joined News Break as a content creator, things were different. News Break wants local stories, and the editors have made this clear with their latest platform changes.
Stories are now rated from 1 to 10, with payment based on the story’s…
I didn’t follow his diet, but the pounds melted away
My husband has lost 40 pounds. I don’t think he needed to lose that much, because he has never been what I would call fat. But at 220, 5 ft. 10 in., he was heavier than he wanted to be, so he set a goal of 180, which he reached this week.
We celebrated by toasting with glasses of lemon water, since he gave up wine as part of his diet. I’ll get to what else he did to lose 40 pounds, but first a bit about my weight.
I didn’t follow his diet plan, but with a few minor…
Don’t we all, at one time or another, wonder where God is?
The other day, a friend said something that annoyed me. She said, “We need to keep praying for our country!”
This should not have irritated me, since I’m a Christian and believe in prayer. But I wanted to say, “What do you think I’ve been doing? I’ve been praying every day, and God hasn’t ended the pandemic.
He hasn’t slowed down the murder rate.
He hasn’t helped our political parties come together for the good of the country.”
If it sounds like I was a little mad at God, I was. Why keep praying if he isn’t listening?
But I…
Biden’s executive order calls for equal access to sports
My neighbor, Crystal, hopes the Georgia senate passes a proposal that would prevent transgender girls from playing on school and college sports teams.
“It’s crazy to think girls can compete fairly against biological boys,” Crystal, who is the mother of two girls, said. “It might not matter when they are younger, but what about high school? A transgender girl would have a big advantage.”
But banning transgender girls from sports might be illegal. According to some lawmakers, a ban would violate President Biden’s recent Executive Order prohibiting discrimination based on gender identify. …
