    Good luck and stay safe in Louisiana in the hurricane storm Francine. Louisiana is a place I lived for years at school, and they get hit by storms and damaged far too often.

    One funny thing about the recent debate speech was the revival of Springfield and Alf jokes. It is retro 90s humor revivals all over the place.

    Dig Harder

    I have been single for years with no date or husband, and men are not just going to rise from the grave break into your house, and ask you out.  People give me crap for working too hard to go to dance nights and concerts. I am NOT just happy being alone I want to meet someone. You have to get out of the house and be social if you want to date someone in the modern day.

  • Great Atlas

    Great Atlas

    By Andrea Menzies

    There was a great show for Bellweather Syndicate at the Atlas show venue and video arcade in Washington DC Sunday the 1st. William and Scary Lady Sarah were there, and it was great to see them in person. I wished them a happy birthday on the Internet, but seeing them in person is always nice. I am so glad I got tickets and a chance to go. People were friendly and talkative. The pinball games were fun. As an added bonus it was across from a famous graveyard for pre-Halloween event photos. Blade was showing as the venue movie. Unfortunately epic rain hit the road so traffic was a nightmare even by DC standards both on the way there and back so I missed the first part of the show. Yet I saw the best part, and that was perfect.

  • Music Past

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am from Austin, TX. They have the logo of “Live Music Capital Of The World” everywhere as going to shows is a popular hobby people like. I am not an exception to this rule. As I have hated the abuse pit that is Virginia with all my soul it is good when shows give me a chance to get away to a better place.

  • 30 Thousand

    By Andrea Menzies

    Woot! I made it to 30 thousand steps on Fitbit working for Amazon on Wednesday. I used to struggle to get to 10 thousand a day when doing teaching work. I had to take a break from teaching as they did not pay me 800 dollars of pay at Chesterfield Schools for work I did while trying to force me to become a bus driver, and my relatives have helped me contact lawyers on that issue. Meanwhile I have resumes out at other locations that use my completed University degree. Amazon heavily tested me for drugs and alcohol and I didn’t fail any of the tests, and so it is a good reference to have as abusive ex-employers and ex-boyfriends lately have tried to lie about my personal life.

  • Under 50

    By Andrea Menzies

    Dear AARP I am not over age 50. I am under 50 by a wide margin. I checked my email at an older relative’s house computer, and now the magazine sends me hundreds of spam emails a week demanding I join. Quit it!

  • Tall Boots

    By Andrea Menzies

    I hurt my ankle badly on the job last week, and it is my new plan to wear tall boots at work. Several online articles agree that tall boots provide better ankle support and prevent sprains better than low top shoes, and I have the ankles that need them. I had already bought tall work boots yet was going to wait until winter to wear them. I will sweat all summer to avoid a repeat on ankle crap. I could not do one tenth of the fun things I had planned for the weekend as ankle pain got in the way. I even got offered free concert tickets from online chat friends, and ankle pain mixed with hail and flooding got in the way of going there.
