  • Snow Armageddon

    Snow Armageddon

    By Andrea Menzies

    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.

    Resolution Keeping

    By Andrea Menzies

    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.

  • New Years Past

    New Years Past

    By Andrea Menzies

    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.

  • Game Ring

    Game Ring

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am going to ring in the New Year playing PC video games. I have reactivated some PC games on Adventure Quest 3D (user Poedaughterz Blue Dragon server free on Steam games), Genshin Impact (user UID 683053596 Poedaughterz), Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 (Poedaughterz on Steam), Pokemon Go (user ID 942584611615), Rec Room (@poedaughter7 free on Steam), and Tarisland (Eu-1 Poedaughterz free on Steam games) to chat with friends. If you know me online please add me to friends. My vehicle is not working well enough this month to drive to my favorite nearby towns in freezing rain. Downtown Virginia has no other thing to socialize with, but criminal human sewage I have fled in terror from years ago. Every Virginia dance club is a disgusting liar pit I NEVER want to see again in my nightmares. The great thing about online chat parties is the game provides hot looking battle clothes, music, hairstyles, and digital taverns for drinks, and you don’t have to spend a million dollars on Lyft and Uber when you have a mount in the game. Game parties are the obvious wave of the future.

  • Hog Holidays

    Hog Holidays

    By Andrea Menzies

    How did I not know “Hogfather” the British holiday comedy has moved from Netflix to Amazon Prime? Santa gets kidnapped by ghosts and the Grim Reaper has to save Christmas. It sounds scary but it is way more PG Monty Python than scary. I watched it on Netflix as I have been a fan of Terry Pratchett since I was a kid, but it shot over to Amazon when they made the “Good Omens” book into a TV movie. I am rereading the books on Kindle this holiday for certain my review is the book is amazing.

  • Theory of Everything

    Theory of Everything

    By Andrea Menzies

    “Sick people usually aren’t smart.” Is a strangely frequent statement in a week where a CEO killer has hit the news. I am rewatching “The Theory of Everything” streaming on Prime video as a reminder of how true that statement is not. Insulting a person for the color of their skin they were born with or religion is bullying, a slur, and abusive. Insulting a sick person for their brain or body health they were born with and calling them crazy, not smart, and bad is also bullying, a slur, and abusive. I think “The Theory of Everything” 2014 is a great movie, and I give it a five star review.

    My tribute to Luigi. Hope he doesn’t get killed too quickly “by mistake” JFK style.
