Let’s talk about comments and site content

by

A few have complained about the political memes, news essays, and even contributor content. Here’s the bottom line on all that – YOU TOO CAN CONTRIBUTE. And I’m not referring to the parroting of partisan talking points on comments, either. If you have a counter-point to anything posted here, by all means spell it out WITH CITATIONS.

Some have told me you aren’t happy with Heather Cox Richardson’s recap of the news. That’s fine, give me one to post that shows “The other side” of that “rhetoric” if you will. And considering it takes THREE STEPS to get to her essays, that are posted in the overnight hours on a separate platform, any “forced” exposure to her writings is on you. I publish her news recaps and essays because she is an eloquent writer and speaker, telling the news in a way that we can all understand while leaving it completely up to us as to how we feel ABOUT the news, rather than being told the news AND how you should feel about it.

And for those who comment or email me with insulting F-bombs (telling me to satisfy myself in a productive manner) will get you blocked from the site – and endanger your access to ANY domain powered by WordPress.

So, for all my loyal readers and newcomers – email me with content you want to see, whether it be memes, limericks, or even counter-points to the news: [email protected]

as for the rest? well, Fuck you too.

Sincerely, Me

Travel days are Long

And made all the longer when there are ticketing issues — like for some reason, the airline where the ticket was purchased doesn’t forward the wheelchair information (which was entered on the outgoing trip 2 weeks prior) to it’s codeshare partner, who then won’t allow you to board because the Captain doesn’t want to accept the chair if it hasn’t been confirmed (even though it’s confirmed on your second flight of the day!) and that desk doesn’t open until 7am, when your flight is scheduled for 5:50am, so they move you to the 9:05 flight, but then forget to issue the ticket when they do that, so you end up racing to the gate despite having been at the airport 3 hours ahead of your original flight and six hours ahead of the rescheduled one — and your connection that was supposed to have four and a half hours to make was cut to one and a half and you are racing to make THAT.

There’s much more to this story, but I was awake for 36 hours, then slept 8 and am back at work already first thing this morning. Mike crashed out around midnight (early for him!), and will probably be recovering for most of today. We did make it home on our originally scheduled flight, but all in all, I was awake for the better part of 36 hours (slept about 45 minutes on the plane) and Mike was closer to 24 hours, and with the stress of the day, we just need some rest.

I am happy to report that all 16 bottles of alcohol made it home safely, as did our fancy basket (hamper for those of you in the UK) that was given to us by great friends.

We’ll be back to your regularly scheduled comedic relief later on.

The Stroopwafel and unlimited prosecco helped. Especially after the 6th glass.
