Friday - early
Leaving for the CT scan in 25 minutes. Gives me enough time to get there, get parked, get into the place, deal with whatever paperwork and still be before the appointment time. It's a 30 minute drive by Interstate, which is actually out of the way compared to Highway 80 - but that takes significantly longer. I pretty much feel another visit to IHOP coming after I get done with that scan. I've had one of those before, it doesn't take long and that's the only thing I need to do. Get the scan, leave. I've still got something going on "down there" and it's been over 3 weeks now. So yes, despite the fact it's going to cost $800, I want to find out what it is for my own peace of mind if nothing else.
Kamala has dropped a portion of her plan for "economic recovery" out. It's a Communist Manifesto plan as far as I'm concerned. I've been calling her a communist for a while, this so-called plan is nothing short of far left progressive nonsense. They blame corporations for price gouging by corporations so they want to put price controls on things like groceries.
Do you remember the gas lines in the early 70's? I faintly remember it, I was pretty young at the time. Price controls resulted in fuel rationing. Gas stations had X amount of fuel and when that was gone, many of them simply closed down for the day, leading people to become even more panicked over the availability of gasoline. I can only imagine this kind of nonsense going on at a truckstop and having trucks lined up on the road outside of the stations.
Can you imagine that happening with food? I hope the left media outlets start expounding on this s*** and actually tell the truth of what a plan like that will actually create instead of the normal, glossed over, fact-eliminated "reporting" that they always do. I'll tell you this: If Harris wins and this is the result? I'll be filling out the freezers with fresh meat regardless of cost. We went through empty grocery store shelves during Covid, our house had plenty of frozen meat. That didn't count for the toilet paper fiasc, where you had to drive around town to find even a few rolls of tp, that was the beginning of it and then pretty much everything disappeared off of grocery store shelves.
They looked like a Cuban version of a grocery store.
BTW, 87% of Americans still think the border situation is a problem. Guess who is the Border Czar that did absolutely nothing about the border and didn't even visit the border? It's become a greater problem in the public view now since all of these murders and rapes have been reported that were done at the hands of illegals. What I love is the left saying that she was never the "border czar" despite the fact checking that has occurred now that the left is attempting to gaslight everyone into believing their version of revisionist history.
Well whatever. I was watching the news and saw them drop this intended price gouging legislation that Kamala wants. If republicans keep control of the house, it will never happen. In my view, there are no guarantees about Congress or the WH and who is going to end up in control.
Meanwhile, the folks are leaving this morning, I believe, for their anniversary, the kids will be coming home to - not them being here, lol. They won't mind for I am not going to put up with the whining about dinner and what is being served, I will simply go to McDonald's, get them the chicken nuggets they love and that will be the end of that. They can play their games and basically do whatever makes them happy. Although we went on vacation recently, it was all of us and a large crowd of people. That wasn't alone time for them. They did spend an extra night down there after everyone left, but down time away from everyone is necessary, IMO, for a healthy relationship.
I wouldn't know for sure, I am twice divorced so there is no level of expertise coming from me. But I do remember the first marriage, getting away was always fun and relaxing. I have no plans of ever getting married again, I am not even interested in any kind of relationship, at least not at the moment. That can change of course, but marriage? Let's be in a relationship for several years and then we can talk about that. I have no prospects and those that I have had I have simply brushed off. Not interested. Politely conveyed, but still spoken in a way that makes it clear I am not looking for relationships and I don't want freinds with benefits. I am trying to follow after the Lord so that kind of eliminates sexual encounters outside of marriage.
If you are doing that, I am not judging you, this is solely my take of it on biblical structure.
Anyway, I need to leave.
G'day.
