Good news as I got a new bicycle rack and invited to go to DC travel. The next few weekends I will be going away on extra long trips to DC and Maryland towns to stay at friends houses and camping. I have seen nothing but a horrible toilet for nightlife in middle Virginia, but I have a car and can get away so it all works out. Sometimes you have to have a bad weekend to remind you of how great the good ones are. Thank heavens for good concerts, camping, bike trails, and bike groups in the area or my eyeballs would explode with boredom.
I am so glad the hiring event I went to today confirmed I am able to get a school job placement in other towns. The night school program I am taking has jobs in far away towns on the border of Virginia and other states so I can get out of this horror toilet state for road trips on the weekends. All the Valentine’s Day store items make me hate Richmond more completely. I used to enjoy weekend dating when I was younger, but in Richmond, VA I have only met the most disgusting abusive human sewage I have ever seen in my life. The pathetic night life makes meeting people impossible. The loneliness of this pain pit is indescribable agony.
Welcome to the Podcast Return of “Frozen History 7 Book Reviews” on WordPress. The last episode was in 2024. This week marks the return of reviews with Episode 9 of Season 6 – Animal Stars.
The TikTok ban made me return to doing a podcast. If people don’t point out real information about politics, books, and jobs is happening on the Internet all webpages will get banned. It is like blaming Turkeys for Thanksgiving to say controversial thinking is the fault of webpages that have that thinking published.
This is the 4 star review of the book by Marty Becker fully titled AnimalStars Behind the Scenes with Your Favorite Animal Actors. My uncle Jim Brockett has an interview in this amazing book on page 236 called “Diamonds Are a Big Cat’s Best Friend” talking about his many movies including Evan Almighty. There were dark days before animal trainers were put on movie sets where animal abuse sometimes went into films. The American Humane Association documents their battle fighting against animal cruelty in the book. I think the book is great, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Woot I got the 30 day streak badge on the Sunny Heath and Fitness app. You can use their equipment for extra points, or use it for free with other equipment you own already. It is thousands cheaper than Peleton. My mom and daughter ate dinner with me around Christmas time, and they made what seemed like one million cakes and pies. I am trying not to let the calories do what they want to do on my thighs. In addition this is my last post on social media for a while. The other day one of my students quoted a social media post I made back to me from weeks ago. I never try to add students to my accounts, and it is against school policy. A few of my student friends from High School and University are all I want to see viewing my posts. Unfortunately students have older friends, older family members, and make fake accounts for Internet stalking. Your life is pretty pathetic if stalking a single mom teacher online is the one way you can feel excitement in your life. So I am taking a break from social media on the Internet, as it seems nice educated student people never communicate with me on social media anymore and trolls, scammers, and haters have become the entire population of the Internet. I blame Internet phones greatly because when a $2000 desktop PC was the one way to go online nice and fun student people were 99% of the Internet. I couldn’t wait to open my e-mails to see all the party and concert invitations near campus that were not fake scams. Once prepaid Internet phones started to be sold next to pawn shops in strip malls the Internet was almost all trolls, con-artists, and porn spam overnight. Fitness apps are the only good thing left online, and my latest New Year’s Resolution is to only post family or fitness app related content if I ever post again. People who are depressed cannot get out of bed much less do many workouts, and I am showing off my positive view on life.
Many thanks to my friends from New Orleans that sent me information about their safety this week. It is nice to know we still stay in contact over the years and are still friends. I used to live less than ten miles from the Quarter in an apartment by myself for years. It is strange New Orleans had ramming safety barriers, but skipped using them that night. Every concert I go to lately has guards, bag checks, and pat-downs. Some will not even allow normal sized purses. I thought they were paranoid, but that is the right amount of carefully watching customers in dark times.
I am a teacher, and school has been cancelled for three days now by a Snow Armageddon. Below are some snow covered decorations looking pretty. It is a good thing I found some good fitness hobbies. I would be bouncing off the walls by now without them. My sleeping pillow loves the rest, but my wallet will hate this by the end of the month. Three credit cards gave me threats yesterday on the phone. Bills do not pay themselves these days, and this snow needs to let up to give me work.
I’m keeping my New Year’s resolution of doing more types of fitness using the free Sunny Heath app. I lost 5 pounds in 7 days. Being obese fat increases 13 types of cancer’s risk a problem I don’t want. The videos are free, and you don’t have to buy their equipment. They will however show commercials for their equipment because that is their job. Hundreds of videos on yoga, kick boxing, Pilates, treadmills, magnetic bikes, and more are on their app and Sunny Heath and Fitness YouTube. The videos are by professional personal trainers. I just got a badge for doing 600 fitness workout minutes there. I give them a 5 star review because it is the best working affordable thing I have tried in years.
Dear New Orleans friends please check in on blogs or social media. Let me know if you are okay. I am working teaching jobs right now because I graduated University with a bachelor’s in New Orleans before hurricane Katrina, and my completed high school diploma party was in Austin, TX. I still visit friends every year or two in these areas for birthdays, baby showers, concerts, and anniversary parties. I was scheduled to go to New Orleans for New Year’s this year, and would have been right next to Bourbon Street on New Year’s Eve. I was in a pretty dark mood when my car broke down, and I had to cancel all my December plans, and missed friend time. It seemed like random horrible luck. Now I know someone must have been praying for me pretty hard, and the bad luck was good. There was a horrible bombing on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on New Year’s Eve, and now I live in fear that people I know may have been sitting right there in areas I recognize on TV news. I have gotten some texts, but some more messages would be appreciated.
It was New Year’s Eve years ago that I gave life to my daughter in Texas surrounded by a boyfriend, friends, clubs, concerts, and parties. Without my dating and friends my honors student daughter would not be alive. I hate my sister Lily Duran forever for dragging me to the toilet hole called Virginia where I have no boyfriend, no dating, no friends, and no parties. I have no real joy in the sewer of agony and crime that is Virginia. All my doctors tests showed me healthy, virus free, and clean at this month’s doctor testing, but that is not good enough here. People in Virginia have been blocking me from dating fearing I will get attacked again. If men attack women it is the attackers that are garbage NOT the woman. The horror is the clearest of all on this New Year’s Eve the worst I have had in years which used to be the best night of all. At least with a new year I have hope to get back to the fun places, people, and times.
