Happy Thanksgiving To All!


By Andrea Menzies
A poem by Andrea Menzies
From my new book of poems I am going to publish online called “Poems From The Pain Hole: A Collection Of Poems About An Abuse Toilet That Claims To Be A State.”
1 All of Virginia is a nightmare hole of pain,
2 the agony is not hard to explain.
3 The second I leave it goes away,
4 Agony is Virginia’s game to play.
5 Ugly men and a pathetic music scene!
6 Symptom of a land eating women’s dreams!
7 I have not had one single happy memory in ya,
8 Ugly-ugly sewage hole called Virginia.
9 There is not one single good redeeming town
10 when first here I looked desperately around.
11 Now I know a future happy day
12 will only happen with Virginia far away.
13 Have not had one single happy memory in ya,
14 Ugly-ugly sewage hole called Virginia.

I am going to get all the healthcare checks I can get for the next couple of months. Evidently healthcare is going to go back to medieval practices for women soon due to politics. Blaming women for needing healthcare is like blaming turkeys for Thanksgiving. They should hide deeper in the woods, or they are asking for the shotgun!
A great quote for a tough week.

Here are my top photos from the Halloween party at Songbyrd DC friends helped me attend. The costume contest with the Queen of the Damned and Aliens was great! Dancing to an amazing retro 80s DJ was great. DC even has a University street called Avenue Q, and I was parked near there. It was also great to get slightly away from the garbage hole of Virginia I hate completely. Unfortunately they announced the party was over at 11:30 PM closing time. What is this a crazed super Christian town from the Footloose movie? When I went to dance clubs in Texas they didn’t close until 2 AM, and later on Halloween. When I went to dance clubs in New Orleans they closed at 4 AM around Halloween. Clubs did not even start shows until 10 PM at night on week nights when I went to New Orleans a few years ago. Around Virginia they think night life starts around lunch time which sucks crap. It was a vivid reminder of why there are many fact reasons I am always trying to leave this area for every holiday, and will leave again in the future. DC was not far enough away at all which was dog poo sacks of disappointing.

There are good events happening in DC and Maryland it turns out in 2024. I thought my Halloween was destroyed by the need for car and RV emergency repairs. I had planned to go to Texas and New Orleans to see childhood school friends for the holiday. I am single so I was hoping to talk to guys. I have met nothing but the most grotesque and abusive human sewage ever born going out in Virginia downtown so that is never happening again. A lucky break happened in that friends are going to DC and Maryland for events there, and can give me a ride. Halloween 2024 is not my wishlist dream, but it will have some fun things to do.

I have a mini RV, but the hitch rusted apart and broke. This has cancelled my New Orleans travel for October. Next time I will just get a hotel, or plan to sleep in a sleeping bag in my car. I wanted to carry more stuff, and have more room when traveling. I thought I could travel more often, and longer, and not needing hotels in an RV. The RV has been an epic money pit, and it was eating my travel money. If I had taken the payment money for the RV and put it in a travel account it would have done twice as well. The rust bucket has destroyed my October as I did not go to many concerts I wanted to see locally as I was purchasing supplies for the RV. Then it rusted over and broke when I tried to use it today! It sucked! I am selling it off this time for sure!

I am not injured, but the school I was working at had a real gun lock down today. I thought it was a drill as there are so many yet the guns were real. Teaching is somewhat simple and nice until it really is not in scary ways.

It was scary watching the vice presidential debate part where they tried to blame illegal aliens for housing prices. It reminds me of this joke on housing prices. No candidate blamed greedy house realtors, construction, or greedy land sales policies welcome to capitalism. Instead they victim-blame buyers for being bad at budgeting for ever buying fancy brunch or lunch.

It is an adjustment of sails sort of a week. You can choose how you handle things sometimes.

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.
