Hi. Would you like your...

I'm about to head out to Erin's. She offered to pay me to mow her lawn. I'm too ashamed to settle on a dollar amount so whatever she wants to give me, I'll be glad to take. There was rain in the forecast. But the sky is beautiful and the air is cool. Excellent day to do some yard work.

Since this is a short post, I'll continue with some other thoughts.

I've put up my receipts for my LSDAS and LSAT registrations. I spent $225. Money that I don't have. Now that I've pretty much committed myself, I am having major second thoughts about law school. Dusty said that it would be a good investment. I wanted to hug him and punch him for saying that. It's nice that people believe that I can do it. But I'm so worried about being good enough for law school and being able to come up with the loans for it.

I started my application process for unemployment benefits and I still haven't gotten a decision if I a can draw on those funds. I hate the idea of using public assistance but I'm going to need it if I am to pay off some of my bills. I'll be thankful to get off it-- if I ever get on it.

I did have an interview last week and I was supposed to have had call back if they were interested. At least they told me that. So far nothing. But I do have some hope with Whirlpool and county put up another position that I could possibly fill. There is hope.

I'm still dying from that workout at the Y yesterday. Usually I do well with the legs and balancing. This time it was abs and upper body. Whoo! I'm going to sleep well again tonight even if it takes some pills.

Yay! Keep going with law school!

Did I miss a post? Unemployment? What's going on?

^Yeah, I got fired. Personally, I think the owner was cleaning house. I was let go as soon as the last girl completed her training.

I'm desperate for a new job but something other than retail. Cross your fingers for me!

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Whatever happened to the Queer Golden Rule?

Wow, Tyler Whitney is popping up all over the gay blogging circuit but the rest of America doesn’t care. Mr. Whitney is an 18 year old staffer for a Republican candidate for President. He was outed. This has caused a little firestorm amongst the gay bloggies with many calling this guy a bigot, an a-hole, and even worse. The way some people have responded to this, Mr. Whitney is fit to be tied to the stake and burned for not being a good little gay. I do not deny that Mr. Whitney has done some pretty offensive stuff. Carrying anti-gay placards that aren’t even fit to be called “homophobic” certainly strikes points against him. However, as I read more about him the more I genuinely feel the need to reach out and hug him. Because I know that he has got to be feeling pretty alone. He’s getting grief from two communities who are openly hostile to which he belongs -conservatives and gays. I have to ask though, is he really deserving of such scorn? Look, his “crime” is working for an
