tielan: Yoda, deal with it (SW - Yoda deal)
Friday, January 22nd, 2016 09:44 am
Today is grumpy day. It may be that I’m tired, and I’ve been tired all week. The tingling has stopped, but the slight ache in the right and left hand hasn’t. Not convinced there’s “nothing there” but can’t really prove otherwise.

Also, fandom is kind of pissing me off right now.

If I won the lottery, I'd do all the usual financial things - diversify, invest, etc., drag my friends out for various holidays, and quit my job, yes.

But then I'd get an electrician's ticket or a plumber's ticket, and/or learn how to generally handyman. And then I'd offer repair services to domestic shelters and stay-at-home mums a couple of days a week, and encourage other women to get similarly rated for repairs, etc.

Reading a travel article dating back to May last year.

Apparently, at the end of December, a Chicago, IL woman felt the desperate need to reply about 50% of the the comments on the article (almost all of them made back in May) and tell them:

a) how wrong they were (re: criticisms of US Drivers, cheese, food, banking),
b) how they must have been in the wrong part of the country (re: Driving While Black, pro-gun attitudes in the US, crime)
c) how right they were (re: the US is a Great Country).

My dear woman, you're a kind of American that gives America a bad name. Shut up and let other people have their say without chiming in about how your experience of America is the only valid one.
