It is Monday morning, 5 December 2022, and I’m getting my head, my life, and my to-do list together for the week.
But first, let’s review some of the mischiefs I got into over the weekend.
I commented on a story posted online about how being a working mother is impossible… and I took a bit of umbrage over the term “working mother”. I know the writer intended to talk about women who have children and have jobs/careers outside the home. I didn’t care for the term, however, as it implies that women that are stay-at-home moms don’t work. All mothers work. All parents work. My mom didn’t have a job outside the home, but she worked… and what she did was different than what my wife does, as my wife has a career outside the home. Pick better words.
The former guy made comments demanding that Americans abandon the Constitution and reinstate him immediately as President of the United States. Many people, including myself, made the observation that Trump swore on the Bible to uphold and defend the Constitution. I also noted that Trump has an extensive track record of breaking vows… just ask his wife and ex-wives (sorry, Ivana, I know you aren’t available for comment, but your sentiments have been pretty well documented).
I pointed out that Herschel Walker probably ought to leave topics relating to science to people that work in those fields.
I could talk about my weekend as a sports fan, but that’s a great big barrel of suck.
A phrase that should be used more often – “I’m not qualified to comment”. If you don’t know what the hell you are talking about, educate yourself before commenting. If I don’t understand an issue, I read.
OK, it’s about time for me to throw my breakfast in the microwave and grab a cup of coffee. I made extra on Saturday morning, and Lisa made a wonderful assortment of breakfast pastries yesterday morning. I’ll reheat the Saturday hash, and Dane can have the pastries before he heads up to campus.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
