  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Yearly Note

    Yearly Note

    By Andrea Menzies

    It is time for my yearly remembrance note honoring my father lieutenant colonel Neil Menzies for Memorial Day. He died when I was a child of his military combat wounds, and it caused hardships for my family. He is the man in the picture below, and I am the baby. The toll of war has many price tags on the soul.

  • Show Take 2

    By Andrea Menzies

    Note on Assemblage 23: They fixed the ticket issue and gave me a refund on the second ticket! Yes I was stuck hunting for parking forever, and missed many songs. But I love Assemblage 23 shows no matter what happens, and I am glad they had the great taste to put on an amazing show. The first time I saw them I was in San Antonio, and the fire department almost shut the venue down for overselling tickets. Something weird always happens at shows close to selling out. My review is it was a great show.

  • Assemblage 23

    By Andrea Menzies

    I made it to the Assemblage 23 show at Renegade in the DC area. Unfortunately I bought the ticket online, and it deducted money from my bank. Then NEVER sent me a Google ticket or email ticket so the venue refused to let me inside without buying a fresh ticket. When VNV played Silver Springs it was a FAR better show in every respect. Whenever a good show goes to Virginia they manage to destroy it. They have zoning ordinances out of a Footloose movie. However I still enjoyed the songs I heard, and my review is it was a good show.

  • Happy Bike Month

    Happy Bike Month

    By Andrea Menzies

    Happy National Bike Month! Some day in the next year I will upgrade back to an electric bike. For now I am using non-electrical. To celebrate I am watching Murder She Wrote streaming on the Roku channel because she is on a bicycle so much I am starting to think it was sponsored by bicycle manufacturing. It suggests that is how you survive to become an attractive older woman by being on a bicycle all the time. My review is the show is hilarious.
