I am so very behind with emails. Apologizes to everyone I haven’t responded to yet. I’m having to make some changes with some ads as a preventative measure for some that may disappear in the future. Because GOOGLE hates not controlling all the ads in the entire universe, and I hate Google. So there is a lot going on behind the scenes. You can expect some new ads tomorrow and I apologize but they are necessary.
Also someone asked for an Open Forum today for personal reasons, and I love her so I am going to do it a bit early. However, Open Forums are usually for Friday or Saturday and they never expire. You can always access the latest Open Forum by clicking here. I use that link almost daily as my place to share. I’m trying not to drag my drama into every damn post here. I’ve heard the feedback. I understand. That is what open forums and to some degree the comments are for. 🙂
So I am sure everyone who doesn’t comment much about the community stuff wants to know what the heck I am doing going to a food bank. So here’s that story. I have told you before that I live in a shack in the ghetto. And that is mostly true. However, the shacks on either side of me have been knocked down and made into lovely homes. There has always been a smattering of those. I purchased this house from my fathers estate when he passed. I was already living in it. It is where he wanted me to live. It is the house I was born in. He wanted me to teach at the school next door where I attended a very small part of first grade. I had a college job I wanted to take in Tampa. But, mother worked her magic from beyond the grave and I was randomly offered my choice of a couple of teaching slots next door. It was great. I walked half block of work each day. I kind of just settled in.
So that is why I live where I live. I am really low maintenance. I don’t need a fancy house. I’m not a clothes hound. I don’t like to even wear shoes let alone expensive ones. I live to save for travel. Sorry I am making this story much too long. Anyway I drive a 2007 Honda and the longer I live here the more I dress like the People of Walmart. And I’m fine with that.
So, the church on the corner where I went to kindergarten, has been handing out food to my community for weeks on Thursdays at 3:30. I few times I have passed by and seen lines down the street. Lines of cars way nicer than mine I should point out. Today around 4:15 I was making a quick dash to the corner store, and I noticed no one was in line. On the way back, it was the same. I figured they were done. I drove past the entry to get in line, because I don’t need a food box. Then, on the other side of the church (the exit) there was a volunteer hysterically trying to get me to turn into the church. I said I was good. He kept insisting. I realized that the volunteers could not leave until all the food was distributed. I do admit I barely get to the grocery store these days and when I do there isn’t much produce there. Now, I think I know why!
So I pull in and there are only two cars ahead of me. The guys asked, “One family?” and I replied, “No, just one person. Just give me a few things. ” However, clearly they were ready to go home. Then guy said they were out of some things. I was more curious than anything. They put it in my trunk and I went home. Here is what I got. Like 30!!!!!!! Georgia peaches. Yum but I’ll never eat thirty peaches. A cabbage that for some reason I was insanely happy about because I don’t think I’ve ever really bought a whole cabbage and I have some very expensive pork chops that would go nicely with it. A whole bag of onions. Onions are my favorite veggie and I buy a back of them every time I am in a grocery store. I love onions. At least two dozen large cucumbers that appeared to be the home grown kind. A big bag of potatoes. I feel like I am forgetting something.
But I wanted to end with Two one pound bags of Pork Rinds Panko. Yeah, I dunno either, and I am southern born and southern bread. I enjoy a pork rind from time to time. But what the fuck do you do with pork rind panko? And why two pounds?
So ANYWAY. I kept about half a dozen peaches and the onions, and a few potatoes and the cabbage and a few cucumbers (and the 2lbs of Panko because… I dunno). An took like 20 peaches, some potatoes a ton of cucumbers over to the fancy good Christian neighbors next door. They gave me a box of what I thought was probably food bank leftovers (the are both pastors at a nearby church) and I was happy to get it. My anxiety keeps me from leaving the house unless it is an emergency. Like I am out of wine, which I actually am at the moment. lol.
So that is why I am eating food from a food bank. I bought ONE nectarine the last time I was at the Publix and it rotted in my fridge because I have had no appetite at all for quite some time. Right now, I have two fresh peaches baking in the oven after seeing a really quick recipe (I can’t stand up for long really, anxiety) that is basically kind of an eggless oatmeal cookie crumble on top. Sounds yummy. I’m going to have to make a cobbler or something.
Okay. I’ll shut up now. Your turn. I have to go watch this double eviction on Big Brother!
That is really exciting! It was your moment. People basically are so kind I don’t know why I think otherwise?😕
Enjoy your stuff!!!
I have just enough time to watch last night on line before tonight.
You have the best stuff happen to you. 😊💛
Its hard to remember that most people are actually nice and giving. Its the few turds that I run into that seem to stick in my mind. I want to start looking for the good in people again. I feel like its been awhile
Pork Rind Panko is for people doing low/no carb who want to fry stuff. I’ve ever used it but maybe someone else has.
I have several elderly neighbors, and people who don’t have transportation around me- when I have the opportunity to get food boxes like that I always distribute to them.
I founded and ran a food pantry for 15 years before The retired in 2017. Because it was a kosher food pantry, we never ever had pork rind panko.
Thanks for the Open Forum. Pork is great with cabbage, I like it with lots of onion. I like pork rinds occasionally but I’ve never tried the panko.
I’m low maintenance too. I drive an older car, and wear men’s t-shirts (less expensive and the men’s large is almost a shirt dress for me). I went out to bring in the garbage can, and had the usual anxiety of having to wave or possibly talk to neighbors. One older man did a very enthusiastic wave and I looked down to make sure a boob wasn’t hanging out of the loose tank top.
I had groceries delivered and a young man called me sweetie as he offered to carry bags in. If I had a twenty I would have handed it to him. I was also thinking he must be southern.
Stress has been creating havoc with my body. My sister has been practically begging me to visit. I want the booster first before I go to LAX.
I’m supposed to fly from SFO to Boston next month to visit family that I haven’t seen in 2 years and I also want to get the booster shot before I go. I hope, I hope, I hope I can, or I might cancel the trip.
When you guys keep talking about the booster, are you talking about the second shot or the third Pfizer shot that I don’t even thing is out yet?
I use pork rind panko as binding for meatloaf and breading for fried things. Freeze what you can’t eat for another day 🙂
Here’s what I’ve been doing with peaches lately: wash, cut in half & remove seed. Add a small pat of butter & some dark brown sugar in the middle of each half & place on rack in air fryer for 4 minutes on high. Ice cream optional. Serves 2. You can also bake, microwave or grill, but I have to justify the purchase of my air fryer. Besides, it is fun. Actually, I could eat both halves by myself, but I do not think that would be good for my marriage. If I am ever single again I will definitely eat both halves.
My teen great-granddaughter #2, studying applied physics at university just eloped with an idiot soldier who told her he was being deployed to Afghanistan & she fell for it. Most young people don’t read the news anymore. Her school is a few hours away, so now he gets her $1100 military housing allowance to rent an apartment in town with an Army buddy so he doesn’t have to live in the barracks anymore. Fly Boy just bought me a whizbang new trenching tool for going off-road in my Jeep. I just might ram it up the backside of soldier-boy next time he dares to crosses my path.
Well that is what I did with two of my peaches only I mixed raw oatmeal and cinnamon in with my butter and brown sugar. filled the FOUR holes and ate every last one. The most I have eaten all week. Not I wish I had the stuff to make oatmeal cookies.
I’m still not sure the guy I dated years ago who told he he was a navy seal was actually a navy seal.
Tamra I have read you for many years and never commented before. I love your posts I love your purple pen but mostly I love you. You’re very genuine you’re very empathetic and open about your needs and struggles. I feel like your long lost cousin then I talk to you and I just get. I wish you only good things for you in banjo. On on a related note many years ago as a single mother I went to our food bank weekly I was touched by the generosity and quality. It’s there to help out a neighbor.
Thanks for commenting. Today was A DAY. I didn’t even have time to post anything. Check open forum if you are interested in how I survived with no toilet and a flooded bathroom. for nearly 24 hours.
I love cabbage and pork with potatoes. I don’t know how yet to cook for just myself but I plan on learning. TT , I understand how difficult things are.
Currently this native Californian registered Democrat is looking forward to casting her vote to recall our governor.
OOOOOOOOFFFF! It’s none of my business, and I haven’t been watching a lot. But it could really mess up the Biden administration and shift Congress Republican. Or put everything at a standstill. Doesn’t he only have one more year left on his term? Can y’all not wait until next November? 🙁
In other news, HYPOTHETICALLY if you needed to bail out your toilet and 1:43 am and didn’t have a bucket, What would you use?
Did you turn off the water? The valve should be behind the toilet.
I get it and do what you need to do. What happens if he is recalled? I mean you know, after he goes for dinner at French Laundry? Is the election moved up? Does a lieutenant governor take over?
Whichever of the 46 candidates that get the most votes is our next governor.
Ah, so they just hold another election right away? It would seem like it would take a few months to make the ballots and by then… it’s almost regular election time. This sounds like a lot of money being spent that could go for homeless people and Covid stuff.
Welp the valve is apparently as old as the house and rusted shut. Looks like I am going to need a plumber. I needed a new flap to keep it from overrunning but I haven’t felt well enough to even know where to go get one.. I’ve replaced that before And it is kind of the problem and I’ve been paying a high water bill for a couple of months now. Procrastination.
Never a dull moment around here even at three thirty am.
A mixing bowl.
I went with a vase, but the flap is wonky so it keeps on filling.
I am probably going to blow up the entire toilet. The Internet said try vinegar and baking soda. I thought I was out of Baking Soda because the big box is almost empty. Then I found the kitchen box and just dumped in a shit ton of baking soda and Apple cider vinegar. Either the whole house is going to blow up, or this is going to work.
Send us positive vibes.
Also, I have have to pee like a Russian race horse.
4:23 am. The baking soda and vinegar plan did not work I cannot shut off the water to the toilet because it is rusted shut.
Now the BATHTUB is filling up with toilet water. Which I suppose means I have a place to pee now that the the toilet is still overflowing.
Fuck!
This is sounding more expensive by the minute.
5:40 am I got the bathtub unstopped. But the toilet continues to be completely full and overflowing at times.
8:39 am finally get in touch with a plumber. Despite describing my problem in detail, I have an appointment between 1pm and 5pm They will call me back an hour before. I’m going to try to catch some zzzzs.
TT, just replace the entire toilet. You can do that yourself but you might want to get a plumber because the bolts the toilet is set on and the waste pipe may have issues as well with age. I recommend the Kohler high toilet 18 or 19”? The seat is taller and easier on the knees. When I replaced my two, they were around $200 each. They flush far more efficiently. The hub calls them the turd sucker 5000. When a man endorses a toilet, it has to be good because they’re so full of shit. J/K. Not really.
Argh. Did I mention the shack only has one toilet?
Is this related to the peaches consumption? Sorry, first thing I thought of. Any plastic cup or similar item you can toss away after the job. Had similar issues last March.
You can empty the cup into a black plastic trash bag to toss or empty in the yard.
Cut a milk jug, use the handle to scoop water into the bathtub/ shower? Gosh you had a heck of a problem in middle of night! Hugs! P. S. Love pork chops never had with cabbage now I’m drooling!
I think a lot of us Democrats & Republicans are so fed up with one set of rules for him & one set for us this jerk blatantly rubs it in our face. Not to mention the increase in crime and homelessness. I mean it’s now an everyday occurrence to worry about a junkie darting in front of my car while I’m driving down major streets. And trying to distract my nieces/nephews when someone decides to pop a squat on the side of the road. Who wants to see that? We can’t even take the river bike trail anymore. It’s disgusting. Did I mention I am fed up. Lol? So in answer to your question I for one can’t live another year under this dictator. I refuse to leave by home unlike many dear friends who have fled to other states.
no. we will end up with that jerk talk show host Elder. He says no help for homeless problem, no mask, vax mandates and no abortions. 5th gen Californian here at 70.
Dictator? LOL
Seriously Do you really think any of those other clowns that are running are better? How about the mayor’s responsibilities in your area? Seems they have a duty to deal with it on the local level. Wow, what a concept.
Don’t do it! You’ll end up with Jenner!!
Don’t worry I doubt that one will get many votes.
Wow, who washed your brain?
Just went to the East coast and visited my parents for a week. It was a great trip. We have a summer house in a beach town. From what you say it reminds me very much of your housing situation. It was a tiny little town when my parents bought there shortly after I was born. I used to jump bikes with my friends on the empty lots that are now filled with multi million dollar homes that dwarf my house. But I love it and I cry every time we go with my husband thinks is hysterical because I never cry. My parents are both elderly and having health problems. As is my dog. It was a great trip but also bittersweet. Sometimes everything is horrible and beautiful all at once. I know I’m going to regret writing all this in the morning…
The short time I lived here as a kid, we used to go camping at Isle of Palms off the coast of Charleston. Tent camping. Campfires, Mama used to make pineapple upside down cake on a coleman stove on over the fire… I don’t really know how she did it but she did. The campsite was called The Sandollar.
Now it is Wild Dunes. A huge community with houses, hotels, golf courses…and gated entry. 🙁
Some of my favorite food ever is corn and potatoes cooked in aluminum foil under a campfire. I’ll trade you my moms crab dip recipe for your moms upside pie. Her crab dip is out of this world. And yes it sucks. You want to see small towns succeed but the way they change so fast is sad sometimes. Sometimes smaller and a little simpler is better.
Would you share your Mom’s crab dip recipe for the greater good of the TT family?
Yes, please Fizz! 🙏🏼
Yes! I’m excited you want it! I’ll come back to this post and write it. Xx
Yes!! Absolutely! I’m talking to her on Sunday, it’s her birthday. I just want to make sure I have everything right. But in the meantime a pound or so of fresh lump crab, a half of a large white onion diced, a small jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise, worcestshire sauce, Tabasco sauce and lemon are the things you need at the ready. Also weird as it sounds a glass loaf pan. It’s baked and for whatever reason it comes out best in that. I’ll get you the full recipe on Sunday. Thank you for asking! I love that you want it.
Me too, please!!
Sorry, Fizz, you lost me at the H word! It’s DUKES or nothing round these parts. lol.
Hahaha! I can’t even buy it here in California. Basically you just need a full fat mayonnaise.
I actually get a lot of my groceries from a food pantry. In NY “Trader Joes” gives out charitable donations of damaged or soon to expire merchandise. Normally that means the perishables have less than two weeks but if you cook it the same week you can make pretty decent meals at a discount.
I do help organize it so that helps, but once you find one that gives mostly fresh fruit that is a great sign. Some give canned goods but those are low in nutrients. I feel like there is a a whole culture behind it that someone could make a documentary about.
Enjoy the peaches!
That is nice to know about Trader Joes. My local one is usually packed full of shoppers with masks on.
Good Morning Tamara…I havent posted anything lately but I pop in every morning to see the posted Topics. Sooooo…I am curious if you have been following the Murdaugh family murders and recent shit show of events that have been happening up the road in South Carolina??? I was wondering if you had considered doing a Topic Thread on all that?
Omg! That story is wacky!!! Way too wacky…..multiple recent murders, one in past and the murder of a gay man that could also be related. Plus dad “scion” embezzled? Talk about a true crime dream. (And a sad reality for the people who are living it )
I’ve been following it. Wow, just wow.
This family wielded so much power in that area and I believe truly got away with murder multiple times.
It’s so weird that Alex Murdaugh somehow gets shot in the head changing a tire but it’s superficial. All to deflect on what he’s really been doing. Embezzling, drugging, paying off people to shut them up. I believe there’s much more to this family.
Wonder where the older son is. Hmm…
Yes! I was going to ask the same thing! I’ve been obsessed with this case!!! It’s got all the makings of a Southern Gothic Netflix doc. I’ve been reading/listening to everything I can on it. So far my theory is:
Alex hired someone to kill his wife, and his psycho son Paul got in the way.
Paul is the one that killed Stephen Smith after discovering his older brother Buster and he ware having a gay affair. Can’t have that outed in Hampton County, god forbid!
And Paul was obviously responsible for the death of Mallory Beach in that awful boat accident where he was “drunker than Cooter Brown.” Not sure what happened with the maid, but with all the witness accounts on how violent Paul got when drinking, I can see him having an argument with her and pushing her down the stairs. Why else would his daddy settle with her family for $500k?
Maggie was ready to divorce Alex’s ass (she had ordered a forensic accounting of assets) and find out he was broke after embezzling from his law firm. I’m sure his years-long addiction to Oxy was expensive.
Alex shot himself to make it seem like someone was after the family for revenge to take the heat off himself. Then went off to rehab to get right, and perhaps get a defense together.
It will be so interesting to find out what really happened!
I haven’t had time to pay any attention to this, but from the little I know, I felt confident that Alex shot himself in the head resulting in only a superficial wound.
Here is a virtual friend of mine’s writings about the Murdaugh case. He is local in South Carolina.
https://www.islandpacket.com/opinion/article254116673.html
What is it about South Carolina???
Thank you Tamara: I use the island packet and Fitsnews for most of my updates on this case
Fits seems to have changed hands and isn’t that great anymore. Island Packet is where it’s at. 🙂
https://www.islandpacket.com/
I agree with just about all of this….I think the shot in the head was a ricochet from a set up “shooting” for him stopping to “change the tire” for a mercedes that has run flat tires so no spare or jack. they found the knife used to slash it. But totally set up to garner sympathy.
And yes if Honey Boo’s mother can spend a million a year in drugs so could ALEC.
Just a real shit show.
When I was in high school I got bad grades and HAD TO GO TO COURT OVER IT, my parents and cousins never had to go to court for bad grades. Our school and magistrate worked together. it was all over my undiagnosed ADD because after I got on meds I did fine in school. No, I don’t take them now.
Anyhow, the judge made me volunteer at our local food bank and it was hard emotionally.
Some classmates saw me working and they were embarrassed and I know they were scared I was going to tell everyone. never said a word, I was always the type who stood up for kids who were bullied and I know my parents would beat the living you know what out of me.
And then the families that were denied because they made $100 or an insignificant amount too much a month. That changed my whole outlook on our system. I am so glad now most food banks don’t ask questions and just give.
Always look out for your neighbors especially the Tamara Tattles neighbors who are anxiety impaired. No shade TT. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Yay peaches!
I like to caprese with peaches instead of tomatoes!
The sweet, salty, and savory is just the best!
3:47 pm I’m in full blown panic mode. The plumber finally came, is a terrifying clusterfuck. I will apparently have no toilet for days. I am paying a couple of thousand for a thing that may not work. Also a RESTORATION company will have to come and redo my bathroom floors and maybe install the toilet at some future point. My insurance is supposed to cover all of that minus my deductible. Maybe. If not that will be several thousand dollars to have my crawl space pumped out and all sort of outdoor pipes replaced because there is galvanized steel involved and there should not be. until they do that the toilet I NO LONGER HAVE cannot be turned on or off. The restoration company wants to deal with the insurance agent. It’s now four pm and I have not heard from them. The snaking out the pipe is EXTREMELY loud and terrifying. I have a huge 70 foot tree in my front yard near where the water pipe is and if those roots are blocking the pipes and he can’t get through it’s basically tough titties.
Also my crawl space is full of sewage.
I don’t have a pot to piss in, LITERALLY. I am in full blown panic attack mode and crying intermittently. Banjo can’t be in the house for any of this. How am I supposed to live with no toilet until this ends?
4:45 pm IT WORKED! IT WORKED IT WORKED! The plumbing line is clear to the street. The plumber has left to go to Home Depot to get a new chair height toilet and install it. Then later the restoration guy is coming to provide an estimate for all the shit happening in the crawl space (literally) and the changing out of a lot of pipes so that the shut off valve for the water will work. SUPPOSEDLY, I can file a claim for all of that with my insurance. #FingersCrossed!
The good news is that the first bill was $2k BUT I got a very nice letter from President Biden this week saying that he put $1400 in my bank account, and the IRS recently returned my over payment so I am not really freaking out about any of this. NOW. It’s been a nightmare, but I am now waking up from it. Now if you will excuse me I have to go pee in the bathtub while my fake husband is off handling all of this for me.
Yay! Shitter’s no longer full!
6:54 Got new pot, spent tons of money. The restoration man is here, and the plumber was leaving. Thankfully, they were talking when he was leaving I took the opportunity to pee in a toilet. It isn’t flushing right.
So he is back in there again. With the restoration guy. Two guys are in my nasty bathroom discussing the issue. LOL.
7:16 pm Now there is some disagreement about who is doing what to fix the lack of water pressure for the toilet.
9:30 PM The new toilet flushes properly! Thanks so much to whoever told me to get high (chair level) toilet! So much easier on the knees!
The other dude who is sending me to another dude, Is coming… I already forgot when to pump and dry out my crawl space, and seal it and do some other crap. Early next week.
Then Joe, a third guy is going to come in and tear up my original tile floor from the 1950s and refloor the bath room and replace my vanity which was also filled with um (toilet, sorry) water!
I’ve already paid a few thousand. THE GOOD NEWS IS the second guy filed my insurance claim for me Thank the Lord because it was an Indian dude who was completely impossible for me to understand.
The fourth guy, Joe will come in and finalize MAKE IT NICE!
The best news is my deductible is way less than I thought only $500. I thought it was $1500.
So I have a toilet I can use now. No more peeing in the bathtub. And we are all going to live happily ever after. Thank you for listening.
Sorry I didn’t get to cover the RHOBH reunion today but if anyone feels like sending me any IG etc photos my source is back I just haven’t had a chance to chat yet. I also have some MORE RHOA casting news that I didn’t get around to posting.
Back soon with all of that. But I have had one hour of sleep in the last 24 hours and I am too old for this shit.
Thank goodness it all ended well. It sounded similar to what I had going on in March. They had to re-route my sewer line from the toilet to outside and it is placed in the basement. I am so happy for you that it is over!
I’m so sorry about all your plumbing issues! NOTHING is worse than water problems, except toilet water problems. Glad they are fixed and once your whole bathroom is redone, it will be beautiful.
I would like to report that my SO’s surgery on Wednesday went well and today he didn’t even need pain meds! He won’t be able to do much for a week or so and the staples come out on the 21st. Thank all of you who sent prayers and good wishes. As it turns out, while I was waiting at the hospital there was an announcement that there were some extra vaccine doses available if anyone was interested. Evidently some scheduled people didn’t show and they didn’t want to waste any. I have now received my booster shot! Great timing! And, thank goodness cuz I’m playing Nurse Nancy, no side effects.
About the pork rind Panko – they are used a lot in Keto recipes as they are low in carbs. Good for diabetic diets, too. I use them all the time. Sorry this is so long winded!
Good news! I’m happy your SO is doing okay and you got your booster shot.
So many here have me interested in the pork rind Panko.
No worries about being long winded. I was happy to read.
Thank you so much
So glad to hear your SO is doing well. Sorry I seemed to overtake this day with my drama. I will never appreciate using the restroom in my own house more than I do tonight.
Covid is super scary. And I hope you will all get vaccinated.
TT, Mr. Shay & I got back from Florida a few weeks ago )I know, I know…) and our TV had died and we had a plumbing issues. Figures when we decide to say “Screw COVID!” and go balls to the wall on a ridiculously expensive vacation that we’d come home to some sh!t. Then my sweet, precious 16 yr old puppy started having seizures, which warranted a 3 day stay in the doggie ICU @ OUS Vet Hospital, which came with a $4500 vet bill. No doubt he’s worth it. He’s resting well, and is on an anti-seizure med which seems to be working. No rest for the wicked. I used to cuddle with my pup when I first found your site in ’07, and would read about that sweet Banjo.
Saturday 9am finally getting some sleep. Phone rings. Phone keeps ringing every five minutes for two hours. FUCK IT! I answer it, perhaps someone is dead in a ditch somewhere.
It the restoration people. I talked to the guy at that company about next steps. It was to put a fan or something in the crawl space for four days. What I didn’t realize is that it would be using my electricity. More money spent. They came over and they were two abject morons. They said they needed to clean up the floor in the bathroom and they brought this giant air filter to deal with the bad air due to sewage. There was no sewage in my bathroom. There was a little bit of pee followed by massive flooding of clean toilet water. That was cleaned up immediately or at least yesterday.
What they did was throw all the wet towels an a really filthy mop, my swim shoes and miscellaneous trash into THE BATHTUB. WHY? The giant air filter they wanted to put on my toilet tank. um no, it’s too big. I told them three times it was unnecessary. Even if there were toxic fumes in the bathroom, My feet literally touch the bathtub when sitting on the toilet. The small sink is right next to the toilet. The entire bathroom cannot be much more that 50 square feet. The air filter thingy was three feet by three feet. GET IT OUT OF MY HOUSE.
Then the put the thingy in the crawl space and left. No idea what next steps are.
At least my toilet is pretty and easy to clean.
Tamara
Pork Rind Panko is bread crumbs
I am so sorry to hear about all your plumbing issues. It sounds like a nightmare! I have an interesting tidbit. So, I was driving back from taking my kids to stay with their dad for the night ( that’s a new thing but I am much better) and I was driving through a long stretch of farm land. I saw a big tent in the distance and thought “oh, I bet that’s a good produce stand.” There are alot of Amish people in that area and they have the best vegetables, fruits, and baked goods.
I pull in. It was a church tent revival! I have lived in Kentucky my whole life and I have never actually seen a tent revival. I threw it in reverse real quick.
You totally should have gone! The fourth or fifth person to come to do something about the sewage backup is arriving in a few minutes. I’ll be so glad when this is over. I better go pee while I can lol.
I’m pretty sure it was one of those churches where the females only wear skirts. Not my idea of a good time on a Saturday night!
EVEN BETTER! THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS! I WANT TO GO WITH YOU! Glad you seem to be feeling a bit better. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to reach out. The shit (LITERALLY) is hitting the fan and for almost 24 hours I didn’t have a pot to piss in, AGAIN, LITERALLY. Still ongoing…
That you can talk about the fancy vacations you’re gonna take and be proud that you took food from a food bank really makes you a asshole. You have been bitching about your shack falling apart for years but have been to lazy to do the upkeep on it. I’ve seen many posters on here come to your aid and back you no matter what.that you have turned on. No need to tell me to die in a fire or show me a door because my first and last post is just to tell you you’re a lazy asshole. That’s me keeping it classy on how I really feel you lazy freeloading fuck.
If you had read past the headline, you would know what actually happened and how I ended up getting up food (that I really did not want or need) from the corner church. I can totally afford fancy vacations but I haven’t been anywhere in years due to my dog. As someone who has a a Master’s degree in reading, it is painful that your reading comprehension is so poor. Is there a community college near you? I think you will soon be able to get basic reading classes for free! It would totally be worth your time. And also, it’s been a really long time since I’ve told anyone to go die in a fire so you must have been lurking here for a LONG TIME (mostly due to all the wildfires, as it became not a joke anymore). But for you, just to thank you for being such a long time reader, I will gladly tell you to GDIAF. Thanks for reading, or you know trying the best you can to read. Really. It means a lot to have such a long time reader like you. And as The Beatles say, here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson Jesus loves you more than you will know. Just like me.
Also, if you need food I have two pounds of Pork Rind Panko to send you… hit me up on gmail with your address.
TT, that was an epic read.
I just left the house briefly and the church has taken down all the Food Bank signs. That explains why the volunteers were literally flagging people down on the streets to come get the last of it. And also reminds me I need to eat the peaches. I’m still struggling to eat. It makes no sense. IT IS JUST SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO ME! 🙁
Those would make some HAPPENING Fried Pork chops or Fried Chicken!!!
I am not a fryer. My sister makes the best fried chicken in the world but she doesn’t really like to do it, and I am not there for all the Sunday dinners. So It’s usually just Thanksgiving. I bring my $100 salad. Because that is pretty much how much it costs to make a fancy one for my family who seem to love getting married and procreating. lol.
