There are many "best" moms out there, according to Facebook

Facebook cracks me up on holidays (not literally, but I do always have lotion with me, just in case), especially birthdays. I mean, sure, it's nice to be told, "Happy Birthday!!!" However, when standing back and thinking about it, it's also kind of strange to be told such things from people I haven't talked to over the phone, let alone seen in the past 10-15 years. It would be incredibly strange to receive phone calls or cards in the mail from these very people wishing me a happy birthday, would it not? In any case, with today being Mother's Day and all, I'm having to chuckle at some of the statuses on the before-mentioned social networking site.

I can't tell you how many times I've read the following statuses this morning:

"Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!"

"Happy Mother's Day to my mom - the best mom in the world!"

With the first status, my immediate thought is, "Who else would we wish a Happy Mother's Day to? Fathers? Sons? Brothers? Blow-up dolls named Woody?"

I find the second status a bit perplexing as well, because the adjective "best" alongside the noun "mom" signifies that there is only one best mom in the world. However, this has been declared by seemingly countless different people, so how can there be one "best" mom, when there appears to be several? It's not like in the Olympics, Gold medals are handed out to everybody after a race, and an announcer then says, "You're all the best! Congratulations!"

So, I think there's only one way we can settle this dispute - a "reality" series competition. I shall start writing it shortly, and will call the show, Bada*s Mothas. ...To be continued...

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...
