  • You might be too right.

    My wife lives in another county and is only around on the weekends.

    She is a huge turtle nut and has several stuffed turtle toys on the bed. I’m in finance journalism and sometimes talk to the turtles about convertible bond transactions and other boring stuff.

    It helps me work through things. Probably headed for an institution in the future.




  • Over the last 10 years or so, some kinds of convenience foods have gone up a lot. Like some types of

    “value meal” is over $10. That’s a bad scene if you have several people to feed.

    You can beat that by cooking your own, but if you have been working a 12 hour shift that is a harsh scenario.

    It just seems like people, and I’m referring to the U.S., getting food should not be such a press.


  • It’s kind of hard right now, because food prices have gone up so much .

    But you don’t have to poison yourself

    Rice would be a choice, but I got type 2 diabetes a couple years ago after having pneumonia.

    What’s really bad is bread, which is annoying because it is relatively cheap.


  • I also live alone, and my kids are grown up and gone.

    I came to feel that “It’s not worth it to cook for just one person” was a pretty lame excuse to eat frozen food and other garbage.

    I’m trying to cook more stuff I can freeze or at least store for a few days.

    Still pretty lazy though.


  • I’m over 60 and not at all represented by these old motherfuckers. It’s partly their age and partly their wealth – they can’t represent people who actually work for a living.

    There are various theories of how age and term limits could limit this.

    Here’s my fantasy, which is just that.

    Set up an AI unit that’s been programmed to a 90 IQ level. If these assholes can’t beat it in chess three times out of five – or checkers for that matter – enjoy the rest of your life on the porch.

    Just a fantasy.
