  • Secret Price

    Secret Price

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am applying to do an online master’s degree in education.  Yet many schools are completely telling lies about the price of their program with tuition and fees. I have had to discontinue many applications and programs as they suddenly admit the price will be at least twice the amount listed on advertising. They have an advertisement price, and a secret price they really charge. Thank goodness someone passed laws saying they have to disclose the information. My undergraduate degree was from a super expensive school, and the government limits maximum amounts of lifetime student loans. What is a good affordable program?

  • When Classy

    When Classy

    By Andrea Menzies

    What is classy when you are rich, but trashy when you are average or poor? I saw this posted on Instagram, and some of the answers are surprising. Not driving, having a vintage car, biking, or having a license is another mark of wealth. Having a 7000 dollar Italian or German racing bike your chauffeur drives you to use is healthy, wealthy, environmental, and wise. Speaking two languages got many votes. Spa therapy treatments for the celebrity’s eccentric exhaustion versus normal therapy another one. The ultra rich also avoid paying taxes, and that seems to take no insults from the mass media which is owned by the wealthy. Know others I have missed?

    P.S. To all the people who think bikes are all cheap here is the Mercedes-Benz one for $7000 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1AbxgLeX4W/

  • Happy Friday The 13th

    Happy Friday The 13th

    By Andrea Menzies

    Happy Friday The 13th To All! Today I fell and skinned my knee. Darn Friday the 13th I thought! Now the question will haunt me did I randomly fall, or subconsciously make it happen due to knowing it was the 13th? Was I just more aware of my bad luck due to it being Friday the 13th? I tend not to go out on Friday the 13th not because of my own superstition, but because I know some real weirdos are superstitious and go into trouble maker mode on the 13th. Oh well I will just stay away from hockey masks to be on the safe side and read these memes from yourtango dot com.

  • Bashing Call

    Bashing Call

    By Andrea Menzies

    Protesters hearing the call for justice are being bashed down this week. I joined several Feminist Alliance groups online to protest against Trump this week. Unfortunately I had to go to the hospital twice, and protesters were being bashed down super hard so I had to cancel going. Violation of the right of free speech is being tossed around like a frisbee this week in the USA. I got an e-bike because my family worked travel jobs when I was a kid, and I saw people riding bikes and folding e-bikes to clean well funded public transportation in other countries all the time. We have been completely fooled in the United States to think that well funded public transportation, schools, rights, and healthcare must be impossible dreams as poorer countries already have them daily. Meanwhile we have a president that thinks a 400 million dollar fossil fuel using airplane for daily personal use is an okay transport option.

    People have been using e-bikes to get to public transportation that allows bikes on board in Europe and Asia for decades already.
    Uber and Lyft are rip offs compared to real transportation solutions other countries have. Meanwhile our president thinks a 400 million sky airplane for personal use is normal.

  • Record Bike

    Record Bike

    By Andrea Menzies

    I was feeling so much better today I set a record for my longest bike ride on the Strava app. The new bike is working great! I am glad I finally have a working bike as the weather is good enough for it. I have a ton of night school research homework to do, and having transportation to the library for homework is a much needed school tool for productivity.

  • Single Ladies

    Single Ladies

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am one of the single ladies, and have not even had a cheek kiss in three years. This month marks the three year point, and this made me upgrade my dating profiles to premium. I have had many long term dating relationships before, and have been married and divorced. I can have long term relationships, but the jerks of Virginia THEY have been dumping ME. This is why I am only looking for dinners in the Maryland area, and I have fully given up on dating in the Virginia area. No I will not meet people alone at houses, and only crowded well lit areas with security are okay for dinner in modern day. I want friends and maybe more not wallet theft.

  • Back To Bike

    Back To Bike

    By Andrea Menzies

    At long last I can bike again, and biked a three mile ride. I am going to keep Pine Sol and hand sanitizer on me every second of the day this summer as I do NOT want to deal with that crap one more time. I had a flu shot at Walgreens just before summer, but that helped nothing at all. I labeled my first return ride the feeling better ride, and it is way better to not feel horribly sick. Now if I could just do something about not having a date, boyfriend, or even a kiss on the face in three years as of this month which I completely hate some real problems could get solved. I went to Planned Parenthood recently,  and all tests showed I was healthy and fine. I guess I have to go to towns with a real music scene to meet people which this state has none of at all.

  • Better Days

    Better Days

    By Andrea Menzies

    All the heaven saints made antibiotics, and after taking them I am much better. Thanks to all the people who wished for me to “get well soon” when I was sick. As a substitute teacher I work at the desks of the sickest teachers in the district, and this leaves me constantly extra sick. This is just one of the reasons I am going to night school online to NOT be a substitute teacher anymore. I have a million plans for summer, but being trapped in bed was not one of them.

  • Super Sick

    By Andrea Menzies

    So sick with bronchitis. I finally got a doctor’s prescription for antibiotics as the first doctor refused to prescribe them leaving me in agony days longer. So many doctors are afraid to over prescribe antibiotics they now don’t even properly prescribe antibiotics without a battle. My podcast usually starts up again in summer reviewing books, but I am too sick to even read right now. It will be on hiatus longer.

  • Bad Cold 2

    Bad Cold 2

    By Andrea Menzies

    I had to go to the emergency room I was so sick this week. This time it was not COVID even though I had COVID19 a month ago the emergency room verified. I am thinking of filing a complaint as the person sticking me for blood tests did such a bad job there were pools of blood everywhere. They did a hand sick for no reason, and kept the needle in hours longer than needed then would not give me antibiotics I requested. Doctors so fear over use of antibiotics they don’t even respect appropriate use anymore. At least they did give me the medicine I needed by the end. I know they were crowded and understaffed, but that was strange.
