    Scary Year

    This cartoon is too true in 2025. Plans for Halloween activities in DC areas now have to balance around troops everywhere.

  • Thanks For Wishes

    By Andrea Menzies

    Thank you Internet friends for wishing me a happy birthday. It is bittersweet in that I don’t get to see all the long distance friends I miss so much very often. I am happy to see them wish me a happy birthday, but unhappy that it reminds me I can’t visit them more frequently. It does remind me that I used to be far more socially active, and that I will go to nearby towns to make many new friends soon for events this month. I am a single woman that very much hates having no man to date. Halloween is a great time to meet people at events in towns not in Virginia at all.

    • Note by far my favorite birthday gift was the Garmin 935 fitness watch and fitness band. Oh so inspirational for biking fun.

  • My Birthday

    Today is my birthday, and my watch became a cake picture! Thanks in advance for the birthday well wishes!

  • Travel Away

    By Andrea Menzies

    It is still my vow to never go out in Virginia night life again. I still love music, but Virginia is a nightmare of con artist scum. One night I went out and a guy screamed “hold this” and the guy put a beer in my hand I was not drinking, and a cigarette in my hand I was not smoking, and snapped a photo. Then he threatened to put the photos all over the Internet if I did not pay him as a bribe. I had no money to give him. It happened dozens of times more before I started slapping men. Men have tried to roofie my water one million times. This NEVER happened in Texas or Louisiana! Virginia has garbage for night life! Road trips away from Virginia are all I will pursue for music, fun, or dating. All people in areas not around Virginia know you are the people I want to socialize with and NEVER Virginia people. It is my birthday this week, and it makes me long to go out and be social, but a road trip far away from Virginia is the only option.

  • Almost Birthday

    Almost Birthday

    By Andrea Menzies

    The temporary work I got with Kelly Staffing was over faster than I thought, and now I am back to teaching again. I forgot one of the reasons I quit pursuing temp work employment is they often promise far more employment time and money than they can deliver to employees. It is almost my birthday, and having free time to plan a good party with balloons turns out to be the most valuable use of my time. I did make some extra money from the job, and now I can go to extra Halloween activities far from the horrible place that is called Virginia. It is my every dream and goal to move far away from the Virginia area.

  • New Job

    New Job

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got a new job plus started this week! I already have a medical assisting certification with Excel and typing from years ago, and was taking light refresher courses in that subject online. In addition I have a University degree, and employment services verified both this month and got me a new job. My other job was not giving me enough work or hours, and I was glad for the upgrade. The job economy is really rough right now, but there are still a few opportunities out there particularly in healthcare jobs. I am so happy the change worked out.

    • Note: I have been applying and reapplying for this same kind of job for YEARS in Virginia, and it is officially weird that they picked now to notice my application. Oh well better late than never.

  • Udemy Classes

    By Andrea Menzies

    This week I am obsessed with Udemy classes. I am still going back to get my grad school degree. However classes are full and I have to wait a couple of months to start class. The Udemy platform lets you explore online school topics for not too much cash. Many other classrooms are online, but this is one of the few with discounts and quality. My job has not paid me anything this year yet, but when I get paid I am so taking classes.
