• Scooters and Guns

    By Andrea Menzies No matter what downtown you live near tiny electric scooters and gun violence are now normal. I thought I was living in the worst U.S.A. area, but then an old area I used to live in has suffered a bad shooting as well. Cold weather and a collapsing economy are making tempers…

  • Review Actbest Mars

    By Andrea Menzies I bought one of the Actbest Mars e-bikes, and wanted to warn other customers to buy a tiny scooter instead. The battery does make it go fast up small hills for the first two months you ride it. I bought one of these in black, and it says on the description it…

  • Gun No-No

    By Andrea Menzies I have not gone out in Virginia in years and drive to Maryland because downtown is a giant gun No-No. Local news just said they had ANOTHER mass shooting. I have no boyfriend, or husband, and have not even had a kiss on the cheek in years. When I tried the singles…

  • Car Broken

    By Andrea Menzies I cannot make it to see video-game, University student, and concert friends this weekend. Just as my life was taking a better turn with friends my car broke down. I live in an area with NO bus service for many miles, so I am unable to get to work as a teacher…

  • Still Icy

    By Andrea M. I am glad I didn’t go camping this weekend after all. For two seconds it was warm, and I wanted to travel. Yet the ice came back in a big way. Even with a huge jacket on I was cold. Here are some pictures of the car hood deep ice.

  • Tire Weak

    By Andrea M. I cannot make it to Maryland this weekend. My spirit was willing, but my tire was weak for travel to Maryland. I had planned to go to Maryland to see concerts this weekend. It is Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day Weekend a holiday when I get extra time off work. In addition…

  • Valentine Bummer

    By Andrea M. When Valentine’s Day is a bummer you must post jokes. Yes I am single with no relationship at all for Valentine’s Day.

  • Not Perfect

    By Andrea M. It is okay not to be a perfect person, and to try to live again. I may have had problems in the past, but I made all A grades in my accredited night school master’s degree program in 2025 so that counts for something.

  • Wild Stories

    By Andrea Menzies The Internet was telling wild stories about the halftime show on the 2026 Super Bowl. I have had some ex-boyfriends make up wild lies about me in the past, and was unpleasantly surprised by how people quickly believed wild stories from the Internet. Just because several people on the Internet tell a…
