Places I Have Been This Year!
Well, I wish one of the places I had been this year would be, "Permanent Kick-Ass Job" but . . . Not Yet!
Sigh.
Stupid Obamalypse.
Yes, I do blame him for the state of the economy. Things were falling apart under Bush but never have we previously been in recession this long with no recovery in sight, and I specifically blame him for things like how Boeing moved its plant from Washington to South Carolina and his administration insisted on having the NLRB enforce its rules, and then there was that case with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, all of which operate to destroy private industry. And Obamacare is going to be expensive. And the stimulus, started under Bush, didn't work and is making things worse, we have something like $5 million in stimulus funds to put new sidewalks along Memorial and Candler- which benefits who? We had sidewalks and no one is going to take a leisurely stroll along either Memorial or Candler to enjoy the, what, traffic fumes? I occasionally walk along there but it is to drop car off/pick car up from Rick's and new sidewalks add zippo to my enjoyment.
All this hopey-changey nonsense is old wine in new bottles. Same stale European style nanny state socialism with a new black sexy label to fool people.
I wonder when they publish his approval ratings, who are these 43% who approve? 9.2% unemployment, stagflation, nearly $4 gallon/petrol . . . and even for liberals, he's doing a sort of vaguely lefty Bush. We're now at war in Libya with no idea why we are there, what success looks like, or a real committment. At least Bush came up with some excuses. Then he didn't close Gitmo as promised, we're still - despite claims- at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He's not exactly touting Obamacare as a resounding success, because most people hate it. We have unpleasant and expensive new TSA body scanner regulations. So why is he better than Bush?
So Cruella, why then, is he worse than Bush?
Cos he's spending money on even more idiotic things and even more job-killing old-lefty ideas. And then apparently they want to stop cereal companies from marketing to kiddies and making McDo put apple slices in their Happy Meals . . .
It's just WRONG.
There's such a level of contempt that comes from the Left- and sometimes from the Right, although less so nowadays - This idea that you are too stupid to make choices for yourself, or that someone else gets to decide where you live, and what car you drive, and what you get to eat, lest you decide to weigh 300 lbs, etc.
Now y'all know how I feel about fat people. But that doesn't mean that someone else should tell me this. I can figure it out for my OWN damn self.
Cruella, shut up. You were going to tell us about places you had been this year.
Oh, right. Well, I went to Louisiana with my Dad for (his) Spring Break, and then I went to visit "Robin" in Richmond/DC and then I went to Miami and then I went to Huntsville.
All those places? But you don't have a job!
I don't! Please note that other people paid for all these things. Well, most of them.
First, I went to Louisiana, which was wonderful! Except my Dad, either because of his insistence on "planning", which is like, totally a four letter word to me- picked a motel like 10 miles away! It was in the middle of NOTHING. Now granted, they charge parking, etc, in the French Quarter, but if that's what you want to see- wouldn't you stay THERE? My system is to get one of those newsprint- books they have at the rest areas and find a cheapy motel that way. This place was like FOREVER away.
Listen, y'all! The first night we went into the French quarter because there was sod-all- really! to eat around the motel and we got a very diffident clerk who did not care to recommend anything, and it was raining too much to stop and find anything to eat, and the minivan did not like it and was getting blown around, and there was nothing to eat! And then, using my witch-senses, I saw an exit and we decided to eat there-
Cruella . . .
But this is the exciting part! So it was a combination SOUL FOOD RESTAURANT/LAUNDROMAT! We ate in a LAUNDROMAT!
Um.
It was good! And the lady who worked there/owned it was FASCINATED by us. Clearly, white tourists were a rarity. She had to bring the cook out to look at us.
She also did not understand the concept of tourism.
Where y'all from? She wanted to know.
Atlanta.
Who y'all visiting here? she wanted to know.
No one, we said.
Why y'all here? she wanted to know.
We just wanted to see Louisiana, you know, new Orleans, the French Quarter.
This did not register.
Who y'all kinfolk? She wanted to know.
No one, we said . . this continued in this vein for a while.
Also she said that "Camille" was a principal in a school somewhere in Atlanta and thought we knew her.
Anyway, we had a lot of fun, and I insisted on seeing the "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" house, which was very exciting, and we ate. . . Oh, I had this thing, it was a deep fried burger stuffed with sausage and cheese. I am happy I do not live in Louisiana otherwise I would have to be carried around by backhoe. And I had crawfish, and we saw a crawfish farm, and a rice farm, and an alligator farm, and I bought real alligator meat! Was fun.
Then I went to see "Robin" in Richmond, which was likewise a tremendous amount of fun . . . We went to DC and saw things! Including the Hope Diamond, and I cooked a lot, and then we went shopping and I only whined a little (this, I feel, will be extensively debated in the comments) but really! I only whined a little! and I bought a whole bunch of sweaters.
Then the Lolrus -
Cruella! What lolrus?
I mean, that I have a "friend" and he had this picture of himself on the beach- and the rolls of fat were hiding his bathing suit and he looked just like the Lolrus!
Cruella, you don't like fat people.
Well, I would say, with his clothes on, that he is more, "husky," sort of American footballer. Then with his clothes off, he is fatter but . . . oh, shut up. But he did look like the Lolrus in that beach picture. Personally, if anyone ever took a picture of ME like that, I would hunt them down and kill them. I would hire Boba Fett. Miami was fun. It was very Spontaneous, as in I realised that I was running out of documents, and it was a long weekend, and he didn't have to work, and I didn't have to work, and his sister lives in Fort Lauderdale, so why not? So we had a great time.
I dunno if he ever found his bukkit though. Snort.
Sigh.

Hello Cruella. I'm glad you had a wonderful time, but I must admit that you whine quite often. Whining too often becomes irritating to people who really just want to have a great time with you. I encourage you to just enjoy the opportunities presented before you because they can easily be eliminated. People love you. Just show some appreciation, limit and/or eliminate the criticisms, and be more uplifting and hopeful in your presentation. Trying these new things will certainly match your lovely smile. Cheers!
