Monday Night Music

I can't believe it myself - I've been off of cigarettes for 4 months

I've had dreams about them, but I haven't backslid except in my dreams, and even then I know it is wrong to smoke.

Anybody trying to quit - hang in there. We can all beat this!

(I had another smoking dream last night, but I guess it's a nightmare, really)

What's for Dinner, Mon. June 29, 2015

Black bean "lasagna". It's meatless monday!

It's also enchiladas, or whatever you want to really call it - but delicious, it is!

I absolutely despise bell pepper, so those are not included when I make mine, and nobody misses them.

The Whole World is Watching - Within Temptation

It seems appropriate on such an auspicious day for equality

Democratic candidates need to address

income inequality, justice inequality, and finance in politics.

I don't think anyone denies that - but our party and our candidates need to address the we are too weak to do anything progressive nonsense that has plagued our party for the entirety of 3rd way's ascendency.

We can do better than that, and it's time to prove it, potential nominees.

I had a nightmare last night - Michelle Bachmann was my coworker.

:shudder:

I read an article yesterday about how she's still on the take, etc., even though she isn't running for political office. Somehow, in my dreamscape I ended up in a plenum diagnosing fiber optic cable problems with her. She was just as awful at that as she was in Congress, and mean to boot.

Ugh.

I thought I would share that with everyone. In the light of day it's hilarious, but it was spooky in my dream.

I love my Galaxy Note 4 - but

Did anyone have problems after the security patch? It went out not only to Galaxy phones, but tabs, too.

It is a train wreck.

Apple aficionados needn't get excited, I'm still well aware that I have superior hardware, and won't be changing ... ever.

I don't think I have ever loved my cat more than now.

I have a severe phobia of roaches, and a HUGE one crawled in under the door because it is raining. She has chased it all over the house, laid in wait, and is STILL keeping it at bay under the dresser in the bedroom.

She's like a terminator. I love her so.

As Democrats, we are idiots to NOT rally around O'Malley

I love Sanders - He's in my signature. O'Malley is a fantastic candidate.

It's early, thank goodness, and I can evaluate both, but it is really difficult to pick between O'Malley and Sanders. I'm a terrible supporter - I can't throw my support behind either of them because both are too good.

I hope my mind gets made up decisively, because we are idiots not to rally around O'Malley, and idiots if we don't support Bernie's momentum.

We are up for an interesting campaign season, that is for certain.

Will Hillary supporters sit on their hands

and not vote for the nominee if it isn't Hillary?

"Just asking".
