I got pneumonia today, and had to go to the emergency room. Don’t wait too long to go to the hospital if you need it. I am going to use hand sanitizer every two seconds after this hassle. #2026 pneumonia visit

Arm Price
By Andrea Menzies
Part of why I am not going to Saint Patrick’s Day events this weekend is the high gas prices. Here are some funny jokes I saw about it online. It is strangely comforting to know I am not the only person cancelling plans due to high gas prices.

Daily Nightmare
By Andrea Menzies
Song I sing as I wake up daily from nightmares:
Rapist-Rapist
Human sewage all Fort Lee
Rapist rapist all my
Tortured eyes did see
Military men disgust me
All the rapist beater men disgust me
They are ALL rapist beaters,
They are all sewage beaters,
That is all I ever-ever saw with my eyes,
All of Virginia
Rapist hole-rapist hole,
Hate-them hate-them forever
With all of my soul!
Have not had one single happy memory in you
Ugly-ugly sewage toilet hole called Virginia.
*P.S. Complaint messages made me take this old poem down from Instagram, but I still hate Virginia with all my soul. *Note that seeing Trump get away with with rape crimes has aggravated the nightmares to a far worse state as I had to go to therapy for being drugged and beaten many times in the military back in 2005. Now seeing military men glorified in the mass media this week has made the nightmare completely worse on every level. A few military people will be worth praising, but many will misuse the power to torture women. Google the phrase “military rape” and you will see that I am not alone as a female in this situation. Therapy does not un-rape women, and only blames the victim for their pain as clinics attempt to shove drugs down their face with deadly side-effects. I found the pin I bought as a kid, and it is still true today. Note that many stores sell merchandise protesting the unpopular oil wars. If the middle east had no expensive oil would the military be there? No.

Elephant vs Alien
By Andrea M.
Every alien show says humans could not build large monolith buildings so aliens may have done it. They never mention many cultures had HUGE workhorse animals by the hundreds. Some even had trained elephants hauling wood and stones. Due to lack of antibiotics and food large human cities had only 50 or 60 people in most cultures 200 years ago or more. Each man could usually only lift around 200 pounds so HUMAN labor could not move things. However, huge stables of tamed horses, deer, elephants and other donkeys and llama existed all over the world humans could get animals to drag stones with large harnesses and ropes. Alien shows are fun to watch for pretty camera images, and pretty photos of interesting tourist destinations. I wish I could travel more frequently. I also think the government has been caught being less than truthful about many things, and we live in a time of caution and paranoia. I have watched a few alien shows, and I always detect the logic flaw of “only high tech can move things” which is never addressed. Without fossil fuel technology far more work animals were used in the past. With leverage, fulcrums, rope wheels, wooden rollers mixed in with the construction monolith stones could get moved, and they never mention this idea at all. Work horse transport had a second advantage, and there were few fatal wrecks. Horses have instincts that make them avoid running into other horses, and cars have none at all. With war being a modern problem with fossil fuel I almost envy times when loving furry animals for transportation was a social normalcy and not pollution making gasoline guzzling cars.
Old breeds of work horses and elephants are super huge and can lift large objects. -

Car Better
By Andrea Menzies
Many thanks to my family and friends which helped me get my car fixed this week. That is the one good part about this area is I have my mom, daughter, and a few cousins that are great at fixing cars in the area. The super cold weather has been hard on cars, and my sick car has been a challenge. I wish I did not live in a car dependent area with no buses available. I lived in France and Germany as a child when my American citizen family worked there, and public transportation was so clean, maintained, and on time transportation was never a problem. I lived in New Orleans for University and street cars and buses were easy to take, and running day and night. Car manufacturing leaders lobbied the governments in many U.S. areas to make roads non-walkable in the 1940s saying it would promote car manufacturing jobs. Now most of the jobs are gone overseas, and we are stuck with roads with few sidewalks and bike lanes. Many bike lanes are painted in this area that only run near parks, and don’t run the full street. House rental and sale websites want to list property as “near walk and bike trails” as the trails go nowhere and lead to dead-end roads constantly. The problem is people trying to go to work, school, and weekend social activities have limited transportation. Uber, other rideshare, and taxi rides are super expensive, often slow, and destroy a work-day’s profit margin for their personal profits. Cars use fossil fuel which makes pollution, are dangerous for wrecks, and cause many social problems. Forcing people in the U.S. to be dependent on cars destroys the ability to be productive many days.
The car was sick.

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 flare in many areas. People want to blow off steam seeing music, but rent and parking downtown now seems to cost one million dollars. Uber and cabs are now extremely expensive. Music fans now park at a nearby hotel, and scooter a couple of miles into downtown areas. Unfortunately no area is safe anymore. The result is crime scene photos covered in tiny scooters that are a strange mix of the childlike and the morbid in one glance. I seriously do want to buy a tiny bike-scooter after seeing tiny scooters all over the last set of Austin music district murder photos. The scooter people were the ones that lived.
So many scooters! 
14 inch wheel E-Bike scooters are only 50 pounds, and 20 inch E-bikes are an unusable 200 pounds. -
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 nights in Virginia not only was the music horrible, but a hail of gunfire made everyone hit the ground hiding every two nights. This did NOT happen when I went out in Texas and Louisiana. My social life was constantly better in both states. Virginia really is a bad place to live in horrible ways. Lifting gun restrictions as the American economy goes to crap was a really bad idea.

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 as well as weekend friend meet-up groups. I am looking at Google maps to find bike routes to nearby stores. It is a really good thing I have taken up bike riding as a hobby at this point as it is emergency back up transportation as well as a fitness gimmick.

Travel Thanks
By Andrea Menzies
Many thanks to my video game meet up group, student groups, and music friends I met for travel in Maryland this month. I play many MMO games with online chat including World of Warcraft, Adventure Quest, and Guild Wars. I am attending night school, and need extra homework books. In addition I go to concerts with online travel groups. I did each in Maryland, and used my many camping tents, lights, and batteries to save cash on hotels. The weather was too bad for travel for a while, but the ice melted a bit so I was still able to go at the end of the month. After every place in Virginia was horrifying and abusive to me I was very glad to find some better places to socialize with on weekends. In addition I have been going to many online night school classes, and the University campus libraries are far superior in Maryland which is how I made all A grades at Universities in 2025.
