  • Never In Town

    Never In Town

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am never going out in the downtown areas of Richmond, VA. I had people ask me out to singles nights in Richmond recently, and NO will always be the answer. I am single with no boyfriend, and I hate it. In 2005 I had horrible experiences in Richmond and Petersburg, and I had to go to rape therapy for that for years after the nightmare at Fort Lee. I still like friends, music, and nightlife. I enjoyed socializing and dating in other towns. The Richmond and Petersburg toilet hole of singles nightlife is a disgusting mix of horrible music and people I never want to see again. People thought P. Diddy was a wonderful boyfriend before that was shown to be VERY wrong, and many happy looking situations have an ugly abusive dark side people rarely want to talk about normally. Yet people think it is a great idea to take me to singles nights locally lately, and it is wrong. It is no vague whimsy I feel that tells me never to go out in Richmond or Petersburg again. It has been over three years since I have gone out to a Richmond nightclub, and I plan NEVER to see the vicious, ugly, and abusive people in town there again. I still like music, friends, and dating. Unfortunately people I hate with all my soul are the ones I have met in the areas near Richmond, Virginia.

  • Rain Cycling

    Rain Cycling

    By Andrea Menzies

    Hot and rainy weather but not too rainy for the bicycle. Fourth long bike ride of the week. I met with video game groups in the park to discuss game battles today. People play basketball in the park, volleyball, and now bike to play video games as well.

  • Pee-wee’s Bicycle

    Pee-wee’s Bicycle

    By Andrea Menzies

    My urge to bike around for summer has hit Pee-wee Herman’s bike level. I now know why he had to go on a big adventure just to bike more. For years I could not understand why the bike shop girl kept wanting to go on a date at the drive-in with Pee-wee, but after I grew up and re-watched it I realized Pee-wee must be rich. His house is filled with toys and has no work tools, he turns down massive money for his custom bicycle, he is on a first name basis with a super rich kid living in his same area, Elvira is at the bar he stopped at, and he travels to Texas to find his bike at whimsie. Everything points to ultra wealthy in the story! She wants to be married to be joint on his epic bank account. As a kid I never noticed these details. I just re-watched it streaming on Max, and my review is the movie is perfect five stars.

  • 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.

  • Irony Bike

    By Andrea Menzies

    I finally got money for an ebike, and ordered the dream ebike! I ordered it, but cannot ride it due to being sick. I feel like the man in the Twilight Zone episode with broken glasses that cannot read in a library. I even bought new tail lights, and a bike Garmin and Sunny heart monitor for it. Not only do I want more fitness experience, but the ebike is useful as gas free transportation. Bikes do not cause joint damage like jogging, and studies show bike use prevents cancer and heart disease. I love camping, and it fits in an RV better than a big non-folding bike. Every entertainment district is making car parking costs what feels emotional like 1 million dollars, and a good ebike can cut down on parking and Uber fees so that I can go to music concerts more without using a car near downtown. I have had the picture of this bike on my wall for months. Buying it now helps me avoid nightmare tariffs and fees. At University in New Orleans I used to bus and bike everywhere to see concerts. The bike is so close but so far away!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pre-Party Graduation

    Pre-Party Graduation

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am at a graduation pre-party for Alexandria Menzies in Fredericksburg, VA today. We went to Cracker Barrel and Quality Inn. Cracker Barrel is really giving away free onion fries if you download the app and start an account at dinner. We ate some, and it was great.

  • Hacked Chapter 2

    Hacked Chapter 2

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got hacked this week, and can’t be reached well. Turns out there’s things called RAT viruses called Remote Access Trojan computer viruses. It is why you don’t want to click on strange e-mail links, and strange text messages links, but also they can do Remote Access over the phone in a call as well. Thanks to all the people who called, and mailed me many repair fix ideas. Unfortunately revoking access, reinstalled Windows, and returns to default settings all did not work, my computer is still crashed, and I am going to be offline on my computer a bit. The scammers are evil at making scams seem realistic, and faked being trusted workers at my school. I will never trust workers claiming to be my school again no matter how trustworthy they claim to be as some of them are disgruntled human sewage. I will change all my passwords this week in addition.

    *Note it was not fake workers pretending to be University of Phoenix. It was their real workers, called from their real hotline on their real logged in website that gained remote access, and put 15 spyware viruses on my computer crashing it which virus protection had marked clean right before the call.

  • Phoenix Computer Crash

    By Andrea Menzies

    A University of Phoenix worker crashed my computer yesterday. Any recommendations on how to get control back? A female in the financial department demanded to have remote control over my computer. There was no task that remote control was needed for in her directions for signing online student loan papers so it seemed odd to me. I have taken University computer use classes in Louisiana where the teacher said never give remote control of your computer to a help desk caller it will crash your computer. Yet I wanted my loans signed fast so I stupidly agreed. Bam, the computer crashed right after the call. It never worked again. It was working perfectly before the call. I had a paper due that night and had to write it on Google documents on my phone. Often I use the library computers 2 miles from my house for home work what if she had crashed a government library computer? A word of advice to anyone online reading this people working at phone help support desks are often petty and vengeful; they will try to crash people’s computers remotely, and you should never agree to remote control. Not only do I use my computer for school, but also I use it to get jobs at work. Luckily I had several relatives agree to loan me an extra computer, and the library nearby can transfer text from my tablet and phone into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents. How do I get it working again the computer was new?
