Just looking forward to the stalinist military parade. Why celebrate our independence when we can have a parade in honor of our great leader? Unfortunately for him he is not in a country that he can take over. Could you imagine the atrocities he would commit if it was within his power to do so? He could become infamous as one of the most hated leaders in world history.

Aus is okay but the PM is a bit of a god botherer!

Interest rate down to 1% which is fine unless you are about to take on a mortgage and not factoring in that this rate will shoot to 6-7% when all the takers are on board. It could take down quite a few first time buyers.

Winter here at the moment. I’m in Victoria with lows of 0 and highs around 15. A great relief from the 50’s of last summer.

Brief news from Oz! Please don’t let Boris take over UK Inc. I know I’m not there anymore but I don’t want to see my homeland a standing European joke like USA.

So hope your good and the ‘people’ look after you

The states are a shit show as you know. You can't escape politics. I've tried. McConnells' sorry ass is up for reelection and with his wife, #45 and the massive money he's taking from insurance, pharma, and any other thief, his war chest is massive. Since the High Court just said gerrymandering is fine with them we are going to be the most conservative nation in the world. Life sucks

You should have a look at the chat rooms from time to time, @Amisja - there are still quite a few of us who were here back in Ye Goode Olde Days about, though many of us don't post as much as we once did.

If you look at the current conditions in America through my perceptions, things pretty well smell badly, the political scene, the elections a year and some odd days away. On a personal note I'm finer than frog hair even got a personal best today made it 11 miles (17.7km) to work and 1.6 kilowatt-hours of electric. And I do hope all is well for you!

Starting out on a road trip this weekend. Been wanting to do this for a couple years, but massive forest fires were a factor in not going sooner. Looking forward to just being away from most everything and setting out with minimal plans.

Very depressing and in many levels . Part of me , thumbs up looking at the mirror ," thank u ma'am for not bringing another human in this shitty world ".
And part of me , " what can I do to change these shit on my time and era "? I see no hope and I see people in this country and my state showing their stupidity and abcense of compassion daily .

In other news , I ve been working a lot lately . I will like to know y , money are not a great concern . But I am working .
I look like a troll most of days , and I sound like one too .
My anger is growing daily ( nightly actually ) especially when dealing w hideous parents , busted paidophiles , victims of drunk drivers , or just plain stupid " oh here is a gun let's go shoot animals and maybe our knee / eye / face ". None of this is new to me , I am doing this for 20 plus years ? Wtf. But my tolerance is growing thin . Really thin A lot to take in , a lot to give out , and my own state of mind can't be expressed . I am dreaming of a job like a dishwasher or such . Talking to nobody and no humans

Still single and not looking , but if u know anyone who wants to date a 48 yr old woman who her idea of good times is staying home , pls let me know Is my understanding that if u don't do any extreme sports or yoga or drugs , at least in my state , u have to learn to eat alone

Dogs are doing great . Music makes things better . Had some visitors and expecting another best friend to arrive next week.

Still turrets ( it has to be !) and especially when dealing w 45 s supporters . Man . So glad my father is not alive . My mouth lately it has been the mouth of a sailor , and I don't spend anytime debating anything w these assholes . F off , that's all I got for u ".
Agnostic site is not working for me for over 3 months now . No notifications , not able to see posts except if I go to page of people who I care follow . I get some general feed but I don't get near half of the groups I follow .

I missed sue , Keith , bill , and few others
Here was your update ma'am

I’m in the US and all I can say is: this episode of The Handmaid’s Tale SUCKS.
The only rights that matter seem to be straight white Xtian cis men. And neo-Nazis. It’s disgusting. Then there’s the concentration camps for detainees—and children separated from them—-at the borders.
I’m on the eastern seaboard, in North Carolina. I’m not physically close to done problems, though our state is woefully gerrymandered in favor of Republicans, and we have the KKK around. Cowards in masks.
On the positive side, there’s still beauty to be found. I’m lucky to have beaches to the east, mountains to the west. Good friends, and a fine daughter. Crazy but loyal cousins. And great barbecue! That makes up for a lot, lol.

BoJo has the brain of a Machiavelli inside the body of a clown.....and Hunt rhymes with.....?

Life, don't talk to me about life......
