Weird feeling...

I don't know how to describe it. There are some mornings when I awaken, with a big event looming, and I immediately know what's going to happen. It's a gut feeling of some kind. There were days when I had a big project or interview or college final and right when I awoke, I had a good feeling of how it was going to go. Even for things as unimportant (on a grand scale) as a sporting event which I've been looking forward to, I'll wake up that morning with either a good or bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and almost every time, that feeling foreshadows the actual results. I was nervous all week about the Supreme Court's healthcare ruling. I could hardly sleep this week. I was let go from my insurance plan 2-3 months ago, was rejected by another due to pre-existing conditions and was nibbling on my nails, while rocking in my chair (man, I sound old) wondering if I'd forever be rejected due to my health history. When I awoke this morning, even though I didn't sleep much, I had a bounce in my step - I felt good. I immediately turned the television on and waited and waited, feeling optimistic about the ruling (which I hadn't felt in some time). Just a little after 10 am EST, it was made known that the law was upheld 5-4. I don't know what it is, but perhaps I need to do some legal sports betting when I awaken in the morning. Big money!

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
