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 story does not make it true. The Bad Bunny halftime music quickly became a magnet for the same type of lies. It was fully surreal how weird stories were flying into being after a bit of costumes and dancing. It just shows people should not blindly believe Internet gossip and wild stories.

Happy Superbowl Weekend
By Andrea Menzies
Happy Super Bowl weekend to all. It has become as much of a holiday as Thanksgiving or Halloween by this point. I don’t follow sports very much, but I do like the half-time show and funny commercials.

Why Road-trip
By Andrea Menzies
People often ask me why I buy so many books on road-trips. Here is an example of why I am trying to drive to escape Virginia. I text my daughter and mother many examples from the years I had to get rape therapy after I was in the military, and how military wife teachers torture me daily when I am working at my teaching job. I found a new school I have to put on-block this week due to a co-worker constantly screaming.

Meta Outrage
By Andrea Menzies
Here is a new article posted February 4 on BlueSky about the latest horrible things META has gotten from Trump. Huge profits, and almost no taxes for social workers or school teachers like me. More people should be outraged, but the news is not posted on Facebook. 13.7 billion not paid in taxes, and people wonder how teachers with degrees like me lack healthcare in America.

Work Back
By Andrea Menzies
I am so glad they are giving me more teaching work to do tomorrow. Snow days are fun at first, but the snowman company loses charms really fast after the first couple days. I am starting to understand why many really scary films have people being trapped in the snow as part of the plot.

Happy Groundhog Day
By Andrea Menzies
Groundhog Day is February 2nd so Happy Groundhog Day to all! According to legend the groundhog runs from a shadow if there is going to be a long bad winter, and with the storms we just had here it is clear he will need Olympic grade running shoes for his shadow this year. Maybe a tiny racing motorcycle to escape the monster shadow.

Facebook Done
By Andrea Menzies
My Facebook is now deleted. The real page for me at https://www.facebook.com/PoedaughterFH7/ is now on delete. I may reactivate it years from now if a friend dies, and I want to post RIP before deactivating it again. Facebook thinks the “real names” policy makes it easier for school friends to stay in touch, but if you ever had military men pointlessly try to abuse and harass you to death like I have it makes it SUPER easy for men who want to stalk and abuse women find them online and harass them. People who want to commit identity fraud can easily find your work, home, and school information, and use it to impersonate you. Going on vacation? Facebook helps people who want to rob you know when you will not be home to guard your stuff. Facebook used to claim it would be spam free, but now wants to sell expensive things every two seconds on marketplace and expensive and useless online dating. It is a shower of advertisements. Worst of all the Facebook founder Zucker-jerk is totally dumping funding into terrible politics. I have to at least try to lower the content that is driving the spam Olympics of Facebook. Many other people are so fed up with social media funding jerks that Livejournal has actually been getting traffic again, and there is a new social media refugee group on there. In addition Bluesky has dedicated itself to social media that protests the agenda of mainstream social media. People wonder where the money is coming from to fund the evil actions shown daily on TV, and every Facebook click creates user traffic that funds expensive advertising.
P.S. I know Instagram and X are just as bad in many ways, and I am cutting back on using them as well. Tumblr, BlueSky, Live journal, and WordPress are the only places I will post from now on if I have an update.

Artic Bummer
By Andrea Menzies
This Artic Blast is now officially a bummer. All schools, airports, and work things are closed. Yet fun and social activities are also not-do-able for the week as well.

No Speaker
By Andrea Menzies
Everyone keeps trying to get me to work in Spanish speaking jobs this week. I do not speak Spanish. Any person in my family speaking Spanish learned it from a book. My parents worked travel jobs in France and Germany when I was a kid. They were both U.S. citizens born in the USA, and I was born on US soil. My passport says I am a US citizen. I mentioned to a few people I spoke other languages as a kid at lunch one day, and I am from Texas. The other languages were German and French as my dad worked in Germany. It is a seriously prejudice and disturbing trend I see in Virginia that they think all Texas people are originally from Mexico. You put me in a class filled with kids from Mexico they may get killed with me not understanding them at all in an emergency.
This is why I am leaving Facebook: A conversation someone said to me on there. Ronaldo AquinoIsn’t there an app or two for that? I saw this old Chinese woman using it with a nurse. Ronaldo Aquino Andrea Menzies It is slow as a nightmare to whip that out in class. Also students use slang that is not programed into apps so that is not a real option for teachers at all. I tried it and students misbehave like garbage ever second a teacher tries to use Google translate. Thank you for being an example of why I am quitting Facebook. Everyone criticizes me and gives me NOTHING but STUPID answers to my every statement.
