  • Osh Kosh b'Gosh

    Finally got to Osh Kosh.  We had guests in the plane, which was fun. The show itself was pretty overwhelming.  Weather  going out was IMC (pictures below), but once we got up and out, it was beautiful and smooth as silk.  Walked almost 20,000 steps so am a little tired so you get pictures. B… Continue reading

  • Judge away Karen

    I took a friend of mine to have a procedure done since her boyfriend became unavailable at the last minute.  And that was fine. Surgery didn’t start on time (an hour late) but I could deal with that too. Met a nurse in the parking lot who has to go clear off the property of… Continue reading

Hopefully if they can… Continue reading

  • They're trying to hurry along the inevitable

     So Brandon tested positive for, and is symptomatic with the Wuflu (or he has a cold since the symptoms are the same and depending on the test, would show positive for covid regardless). And they are giving him Paxlovid (still under EUA like all of the covid shots).  And, by the by, has negative interactions… Continue reading

  • Noah Webster weeps

     The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, which at this point is only one step from the Urban Dictionary, has changed the definition of female to include “having a gender identity that is the opposite of male”. Additionally, the entry for females has been updated to include the word usually, in that groups of females are USUALLY adult members… Continue reading
