It’s not hypocrisy, per se

Politics, UncategorizedJanuary 26, 20251KViews 0Likes 0Comments

Many say he is a hypocrite, and it's easy to see why. But it's more than that. Much more. He is a narcissist. And an apex one at that. While many people have some narcissistic traits and tendencies, A Narcissist -- someone with a true anti-social personality disorder of narcissism -- spends the entirety of their…

IMO, um, no, in my Experience

FWIW, and imo, Sharpie brand, for however fabulous it is with their permanent markers, has not produced a remotely acceptable gel pen. Short version: Sharpie S-Gel pens suck. Ima stickin' with Pentel's Energel pens. Plus, the Energel pens come in such pretty colors.

You must listen, carefully

You must hold this truth at all times: The ONLY truth that is true for a narcissist is their truth. To listen to Trump speak, and not understand that he is, first and foremost, ever and always, never-not, a Narcissist is to put yourself on a dangerous and slippery path toward belief. Note this simple, yet powerful, amplification…

Where facts have no meaning

Narcissists can never be held to facts, for only Their Truth, as they define it, matters. "We will be a nation of meritocracy," he says in his speech today, the world's cameras upon him. Well, darlin', I present Exhibit A: Pete Hegseth, a TV personality whose only corporate-management responsibility was rife with stories of his mismanagement, corruption…

Night lights

Love this night-light map of the U.S. It shows, as I see it, the visual history of westward expansion, railroads, land grants, speculative towns, massive emigration and immigration, hope ... and, let us not forget, a Trail of Tears, as well.

Say it isn’t so!

Oh, oh, oh! The day I thought would never -- could never! -- come might be upon us. Our beloved Vitamix, in service -- in regular, ongoing, handle-it-all service -- some 30 years, is fritzing a bit, making some small noises and sounding a bit grinding-ish and such. All parts accessible in the motor and pitcher-top have been…

A fresh look at the U.S.

Together, these seven mega-regions comprise 52.8% of the United States' population. Fascinating. I live in one of them.

My annual quest

Things I PonderDecember 25, 20241KViews 0Likes 0Comments

It has begun: the annual search for a paper calendar-planner which, -- I think I'll use, -- I envision as integral to some future life organization, -- I hope will somehow make / help me be "on top of things." Purchased each year. Rarely used. Weeks, months ... entire seasons, neglected, blank. I know the digital versions work not (for me), save…

Crossing paths

There's a person -- a guy, my age-ish, married with kids, nice-looking, smart, dry humor -- whom I run into a lot. We have an "Oh, hey, nice to see you," micro-conversation relationship where we might talk for 5 or 10 minutes when we cross paths, share some interesting info (or not) and that's it. Except I…

Yet another reason to love living in Maryland

Yet another reason to love living in Maryland! Maryland is a cult, not a state. (That's the name of a FB group, and I rather like it.) Kudos to the creator (lower case C).

Yet another list!

Columbia, Maryland -- the non-city-place-area-mega-HOA that gets ranked in the top tiers on so, so many national lists -- has now made top ranking in yet another list: one of the worst places to DATE! Right behind Grand Prarie, Texas, and Warwick, Rhode Island.

Beware, the easy solution

All y'alls relying on AI for writing support and spellcheck functions, tread carefully. For the past several years I've been perplexed by the odd spellcheck and grammar suggestions Google Docs and other editing tools have put forth for me to accept and include in various writing I've done. Again and again, I've thought, "No, that's not…
