Let’s Get An Early Start On 2024

Don’t know about anyone else but I’m ready to bid farewell to 2023. Have been since the first month of it! All we can hope for is a better next year. I don’t think I’ll hold my breath until that happens though.

I’ve sorta sat out most of 2023. Not sure how but by keeping my hands occupied with needlework and not turning the television on I almost got through unscathed. But then, about three months ago my cell phone died and nothing would bring it back. You just haven’t lived until you try to do CPR on a cell phone. I’m not sure I wanted that particular one back anyway. It had an unfortunate habit of hanging up as soon as someone answered my calls. And the only calls I answered were spam that I didn’t want to talk to. I’ve discovered that I really don’t care for things that are smarter than I am — i.e., cell phones, TV’s, all the things that advertise themselves as “smart”.

When my old TV died a couple of years ago I tried to find another “dumb” set. Never found one. I wonder if they even make them now. Ended up with an Amazon Fire TV. It worked well until the day after the warranty ended. So now I seldom turn it on. I can get music and movies on it but not regular TV programs. I know that if I try to replace it I will have to get another “smart” TV and at my age I’m just not ready to have another device that is smarter than I am.

Guess I had better get busy now. I have some more sewing to do and it’s only a matter of time before the computerized sewing machine decided to take a vacation on me just like all the others.

Oh, but now let’s take a look at my laptop! One day after the warranty was off on it I couldn’t turn it on. Had to get a new charge cable for it. In the past year I’ve had to replace the cable 4 times. It stopped on me again a week ago so I stuck it in a corner, resisting the urge to kick it to save my toes from being broken in the process. Finally I tried again and it had learned it’s lesson this time. Can’t say too much because I want it too continue working for a little more time until I can afford to replace it with an upgrade. All I can say there is that I told someone I was going to find someone to do an exercism to get rid of the demons that possess all of my electronics.

Hope you all have a Happy New Year, and I sincerely hope it is better in all ways than this one was. Realistically I know it will be worse because of the election, but I can still hope,

Michelle For President

I just saw an article by Ted Cruz that says Michelle Obama could probably win the Presidency in 2024. I say GO FOR IT MICHELLE. She would certainly have my vote and according to the article she has a 48% chance beating out Biden’s 36%.

Frankly I think it is high time we put a woman in the White House — not as a First Lady, but as the President. I know others have run for the office in the past but look where that got us. The Turnip in 2016 for starters. Hillary wasn’t very popular as a candidate. But then I wasn’t thrilled with her as a First Lady considering how she continued to support her husband when he had his affairs with other women. That’s one think I just can’t understand. “Stand By Your Man” isn’t a very good reason for staying with a cheater.

I personally stayed longer than I should have because of my Catholic upbringing, but even though I married the guy for life he apparently didn’t have any intention of doing the same. That’s just me though. I gave him second and third chances but he wasn’t interested.

But enough about me. I am so excited after seeing the article about Michelle Obama. She is a remarkable woman, and most of all she is very intelligent. Personally I think she would be just what this country needs.

Okay, I know a lot of people will disagree, but really, have the men done anything to bring about peace in this country? They have brought about insurrection, war, mass shootings, all total chaos if you ask me. I have thought for several years that we should have a woman running the country. And a woman like Michelle is a true pearl in this country full of stone cold greedy people. I’m loving the idea that she is just being considered. She is not officially running right now, but I’m hoping she will say yes. According to the article by Cruz she has a chance to put the Turnip in his place just by being there.

Okay, this is as political as I will get this time around. At least until time to bash the Turnip again. Seriously, I have so much contempt for that demigod who should still be sucking on a pacifier.

That’s all. Now I’m going to start trying to come up with a slogan for Michelle. If only it can be something as simple as “We Like Ike”.
