  • New TicTok

    I have a new TicTok as my old one got hacked. I managed to get control away from the hackers, but now I must start from scratch. Add me here. In addition my Snapchat sent out hello messages. This was an automated message and NOT me trying to talk to people. Thank you for your support in an age of social media being weird.

    Pokemon Go Meetup Day April 20

    Pokemon Go Meetup Day April 20

    Wow today’s meetup group I went to had over 80 members for events, raids, and raffles in the park! They even had ice cream vans AND taco tables by the football game. One section I was in is for grownup people, but another section is for Pokemon Go fan kids as well. Downtown Richmond nightlife is filled with crime and violence the last few years, and so I need downtown alternatives. Pokemon Go makes a lot more sense in pretty weather like today. I had a bad cold last week, but was better by the weekend. I lost my gym membership, but with weather like today all you need is tennis shoes to work up a sweat. Lucky me my bike still works great for Spring Events.

    Marked Safe! Whenever I see the Media make a huge deal out of a trivia fact I wonder what huge  scandal a PR firm was hired to cover-up?

  • Away Week

    Any week where I get time away from Virginia is a good week. I have hated Virginia with all my soul, and am saving every penny with extra jobs to move away from the sewage pit.

  • Not Rare

    By Andrea Menzies

    Many teachers are working as teachers and bus drivers in Virginia, and it is not rare. Here is a good article on the topic. Note the person interviewed for the article must be a supervisor, and not a normal teacher. They make WAY more than me.
