Good Monday morning to everyone! It’s been a wonderful weekend with the roommates! I’ve had piles of laundry and been to Kroger 3 times in 3 days. It’s A FULL HOUSE over here but that will be changing later today as one heads west to return to the campus in the hills. Roomate 3 gotContinue reading “The Eve of THE DAY”

Good Thursday morning to everyone BUT the Black Lives Matter Brigade! They are destroying Philadelphia over the shooting of Walter Wallace. Walter was wielding a knife at two officers and wouldn’t drop it after being told to… so they are gonna bust windows, steal Air Jordans, terrorize citizens all to let us know that HISContinue reading “The Brigade, The Nobody and The Polls”

Joe Biden His campaign effectively stopped the day it was confirmed (yes.. it has been confirmed to be Hunter’s laptop even though your news… and I use that term loosely.. hasn’t told you yet) is filled with the real emails, texts, photos and videos of Hunter. They can sling the old “Russian” word but theContinue reading “The Candidate, The Justice and THE MOB”

I wrote a blog about Facebook censoring my posts a few months ago. In the blog, I said it was very disheartening to see that a social media platform was selectively choosing what could be seen by people. I wasn’t posting questionable pictures or encouraging violence, I was simply using my typing skills to postContinue reading “The Silencing of A Story Has Made Alot of Noise”

I decided to go back a bit in history to tell a story about a man that chose to calm the fears of American citizens in the midst of an unthinkable tragedy. I just finished listening to a podcast that told the story of the 3 Mile Island Nuclear accident and some of those sameContinue reading “A Good Leader Calms Fears”

The pretzel twists of the media are on full display as I type this today. Their bias and selective story telling is appalling to me. Some of you read this and think… this patio blogger acts like she’s the “media police” telling us all about their wrong doing and never giving them credit for gettingContinue reading “The Broken Moral Compass of Many Is Obvious”

This is a blog that is so far outside my realm of knowledge… it’s a difficult one to write. First, let me clearly state that I am absolutely NOT a tax specialist by any stretch. I’m one of those people that actually needs an accountant to help me gather my information to “give to theContinue reading “Tax Avoidance = Excellent Accountants”

Last night as I lay in bed watching tv, my phone started lighting up. Not with texts from the poker playing roommate but from the news media. At 8:01…. “an officer was shot in Louisville, KY by protesters”. At 8:22… “2 officers were shot.” My first thoughts are of the families sitting at home prayingContinue reading “If YOU Want Better Lives for Blacks… Then STOP Supporting An Organization That is Destroying Them”

A long time ago I wrote a Blog and I referenced a quote that applies to everything we are seeing and hearing from politicians, pundits, and media today. It goes like this: Facts Don’t Care About Your Feelings – Ben Shapiro It doesn’t matter if you “like” Ben or even if you agree with hisContinue reading “The Outrage Over A Vacant Seat Is Based On Feelings NOT Facts”

Good Morning to you! It’s been a bit since I’ve written a blog but I thought I’d jump on the laptop this morning just to share a few words. The reason for the pause this time in my writing hasn’t had anything to do with the roommates. They are managing life just fine at theContinue reading “Nashville Isn’t The Only One That LIED… They Are Just The One That Got Caught”

Ob-struc-tion – n. the action of deliberately hindering a legal process I’ve been told for 4 years that OBSTRUCTING investigations is wrong… and even worse… it’s illegal. Every single mainstream news organization and thousands of guests reported on the activities of President Trump, his family and his staff and came to the conclusion that theyContinue reading “The Crime of Obstruction…”

As we all try to make sense of the chaos that has enveloped our country since May, it’s hard to not lose sight of the rest of the world. We get lost in our own communities. Over the past few months, we’ve watched cities across the country struggle to survive amongst the violence meant toContinue reading “Peace IS the Prize”

Happy Tuesday to Ya! Yesterday was the “unofficial” end to the summer of 2020. I’m usually so sad to see summer end. This one… not so much. At this time in my life as the roommates are getting older and flying the coop I find myself wanting time to slow down… This year… I’m willingContinue reading “Believe The Facts…. NOT the Falsehoods”

You don’t have to look too hard to see vast areas of the country becoming FED UP with the COVID mandates that they are forced to abide by. When this whole virus thing began we were asked to cooperate… shelter in place… don’t go out…. all to allow our health care community the time neededContinue reading “In an Effort to Save Lives… COVID Guidelines Have Destroyed Them”

My writing of the Blog has slowed a bit over the past few weeks. I’ve got 2 reasons for that. One is that my roommates have been requiring a bit more time and attention which is absolutely my daily priority. The 2nd reason is the stories that the media is choosing to report and theContinue reading “Silence is NOT an Option if You Care About the Health of Our Youth”

Yep I’m gonna go “there”. I’ve occassionally remarked on social media about this movement and received replies that I just “don’t understand” the plight of the black people in this country. I, as a college educated white woman raising 2 white roommates, living in what people would consider an affluent community…. just don’t get it.Continue reading “This is What I Think of The Black Lives Matter Organization”

It has been MANY minutes since I’ve sat down to write a blog. Life with the roommates has been a bit chaotic lately. Trying to get one settled in at college along with managing the social life of the one left at home has been time consuming. Let me say.. as a parent, my utmostContinue reading “The CDC Changes Rules, Pelosi Renames the Deplorables and USPS Scandal”

My Facebook Friends asked for this one…… This was a difficult blog to write. I made 3 attempts at “Simplifying” this complicated story. The roommates kept chiming in.. nope… too complicated… try again. So this is it. My final attempt. If this one is too complicated I’m just writing… “Kevin Clinesmith and Carter Page areContinue reading “The Kevin Clinesmith / Carter Page Story Simplified”

Happy Friday! I’m heading into the weekend like a sloth on a hike. I have many tasks that need to be completed…. none of which I have interest in completing. I honestly had NO intention of writing a blog today. I didn’t have much to write about. Then as the day wore on and myContinue reading “The Middle East, Masks, and Media Muzzles are the Topics Today”

Good Thursday Morning to everyone that gets to GO to school because it’s “A” Day. Yes, that is right… the roommate is an “A” Day student so he will be strolling onto campus today with a mask & binoculars to see his friends because even though they are THERE… They cannot be anywhere NEAR. TheyContinue reading “The Media WON’T Say His Name… they are too busy with COVID and The J-K Combo Ticket”

HAPPY TUESDAY to ya! The reality of being old once again smacked me in the head. Last night my roommate informed me that he was hosting Poker night. I asked, if I should make snacks as I did a quick inventory of cereal, stale saltines and a package of Kraft American cheese slices. No worries…Continue reading “Hospitals Aren’t Corrupt BUT the Seattle City Council and Andrew Cuomo ARE”

Good Monday morning to you. It’s been a minute since I’ve written a blog. My blog break was simply a pause brought on by lack of time (I’m gonna blame the roommates for that) along with more reading and less writing. I have also spent too many hours staring through a piece of glass withContinue reading “The COVID Catastrophe That The Media ISN’T Telling You About”

Civilized societies all have rules and laws It’s a tough world to raise kids in these days. I am trying to raise 2 roommates to be productive, compassionate, law abiding members of society. We have rules in our house. They must be followed. As the roommates have gotten older the rules have changed…. but theContinue reading “The Double Standards of Justice and Media Bias Have Never Been More Obvious Than They Are Today”

Good Friday Morning to everyone!!! It’s been a few days since I’ve posted here. I traveled across the ENTIRELY TOO LONG state of Tennessee yesterday. Don’t get me wrong… I love my State but as I cruised along for 7 hours… I did think that from tip to tail, I wouldn’t be opposed to shrinkingContinue reading “Drugs, Schools and The Offensive Funeral of John Lewis”

Happy Friday Morning to ALL! It’s time to start the weekend and I for one couldn’t be MORE excited! I don’t have plans but my roommates do and that makes me a HAPPY PATIO LOUNGER! All 3 of mine will be walking around a field hitting a ball while I shall have peace and quietContinue reading “I Didn’t Think it Was Possible To Have a Worse Week than Andrew Cuomo or the Redskins……But Then It Happened”

Good Morning to everyone that knows the lyrics… “I get by with a little help from my friends” I think Chicago’s Mayor Lightfoot needs to be singing the tune and embracing the concept. I realize that politically the President of the U.S. is not HER “friend”… but sometimes friends can be made in the unlikeliestContinue reading “Dear Mayor Lightfoot: It’s OK to Admit You Need Help”

Good Tuesday morning to everyone that thinks their small town lifestyle ain’t looking so bad these days. Yes, it is true we don’t have the Museum of Natural History or Broadway plays down the block. We don’t have the sights and sounds and I suppose some of the perks you get from living in bigContinue reading “While cities are being destroyed …. Mayors are playing politics with taxpayer money”

Good morning to everyone that knows what “The Webster’s” is. Last night whilst writing, I asked my roommate where the The Webster’s book was. His response…. “??????” I explained… “the big book… the dictionary…. to look up a definition”. He pulls out his phone, “No idea…. but I’ve got Google, whatcha need”. The distance betweenContinue reading “Here’s the honest truth…. you’ve been lied to!”

Good Morning to everyone that is hearing CRICKETS these days from the morally righteous celebrity gang! All of us lowly ordinaries are waiting to hear your voices so we know which direction we should be pointing our wallets and voices. The ones that have made their money pretending to be something they are NOT andContinue reading “Hey… All you Freedom Fund donors…. WHERE ya at???”

Good morning to everyone that KNOWS they are being lied to by the media every single day! They are referred to as FAKE NEWS and they swoon, clutch their pearls and claim that nickname is merely a right wing Trump supporter label. I myself think it’s a bit too kind to call them FAKE. TheyContinue reading “Is the media lying to you? Yes!”

Good Monday morning to you! It’s been a quiet weekend for us. One of my roommates spent alot of time at the grassy field hitting a ball, one was at Pickwick with friends and the other had to strap on a mask and go into the ER because someone broke their hip in Oxford, MS.Continue reading “How can we make a difference?”

I’m going to share some quotes that I have read that you might find very interesting. They are real quotes from medical providers regarding the status of their health care systems. Read them and see what you think: Dr. Bernard Camins, associate professor of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, says thatContinue reading “People in hospitals HAVE Covid… But they aren’t there BECAUSE of it…”

I’m a huge fan of Denzel Washington. He’s appeared in some great movies that my roommate and I have enjoyed. I know NOTHING about Denzel’s political views. I thought about googling him before I started writing this but decided… Nope.. I have NO REASON to become versed on his politics. In actuality, it’s better thatContinue reading “Is Denzel right???”
