Thoughts of the day
- I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why the Leap Day falls in February but it would be nice if we could have that extra day in June or September.
- I was looking back through my blog and this is the first time I have published on February 29.
- I did post about Leap Day in 2020 but that was on February 28. In re-reading that post, people are still as dumb as ever. Here's what I wrote:
People tore Garth Brooks a new one on social media after he performed a concert in Detroit.
If Garth had decided to wear nothing but chaps and a sports bra then I would have been in total agreement with social media.
But Garth wore something more appalling according to these folks.
He wore a Barry Sanders jersey.
For those that don't know, Barry Sanders is a Hall of Fame running back who played in the NFL for the Detroit Lions. He wore #20 and is regarded as one of the greatest players ever.
It makes sense to wear the jersey of a beloved figure while performing in that town, right?
Here's the jersey:
In my opinion, we haven't evolved much since then and some might even argue that we have gotten dumber especially when it comes to politics.
Thoughts like these should really do wonders for my anxiety and depression.
Meme dump
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello.
Talk to you soon.
I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.
I love the rodeo one. And the what season is it. (please don't let it be winter anymore.... everything is in full bloom here)
ReplyDeleteThe robins were hanging out by our grape vines so hopefully spring isn't too far away.
DeleteI had forgotten about the jersey story; and yes people aren't any smarter. Love the clothing tag meme!
ReplyDeleteI had as well and I am so ready to be done with those tags.
DeleteI've given up plants and do not feel so superior drinking water. Beside, my cat uses all the windowsills where I would park plants.
ReplyDeleteThe things we do for our furbies.
DeleteSeriously he was in Detroit wearing this Detroit Jersey and they thought it was endorsing Bernie Sanders? Oh my God. Scary. And these people breed. Now me not hearing something said correctly again and making that mistake is different. I'm hearing impaired. Like I thought she said, "breastfeeding to make the biscuits moist" Honest mistake really, not stupid. That is my story and I'm stickin' to it.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was the only way to make proper biscuits.
DeleteThere are glimmers of hope, my friend. The dumb have always been with us. It's just that in the old days, we didn't have social media. Dumb has gotten louder, that's all.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Debby. Social media has given them too much of a voice and it is easier for them to find like-minded folks.
DeleteSomehow I missed the Garth story back in 2020. What a hoot!
ReplyDeleteSo much has happened since then. This was also right before COVID exploded.
DeleteI think those plastic thingies grow out of the carpet at night.
ReplyDeleteThey are working with the Legos.
DeleteThank you for making me laugh today! The Cult is so stupid!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome, Dave.
DeleteThose tiny plastic bits are so annoying, I have to be sure to catch every single piece when I'm cutting them off new socks or towels in case the cat finds one and tries to eat it.
ReplyDeleteVery annoying.
DeleteNumber of rodeos, not amount of rodeos. Maybe by your third rodeo you will get it correct, meme-writer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the correction.
DeleteSorry for being unclear. I'm not correcting you. I am correcting the meme-writer. I am sure you would never commit such a grievous error that I get all petty about for some reason.
DeleteI used to be an editor a lifetime ago so I get it, Old Lurker. Whenever I see first annual, I feel my blood pressure rise.
DeleteGarth Brooks is still alive? I'm pretty sure I haven't seen him since I went to a concert of his back in the mid 90's.
ReplyDeleteI think he just made headlines for pissing off some folks re: Toby Keith.
DeleteOk, so Garth Brooks is ZADDY and he could totally get it.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, the memes are on point and the one about trying to figure out the season TODAY is way too relevant!
XOXO
Thunderstorms, sunshine and snow in the past 24 hours here.
DeleteLove that mom one! I shake my head every day about people's idiocy and the fact that they put it out there on social media. There are many in my area of WA who don't understand how a primary election works. Eye roll.
ReplyDeleteI worry about Kyle and Hayden's future social media usage and I hope they stay away. We are keeping them off of it as long as possible.
DeleteAnd I deliberately posted yesterday because it was Leap Day. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Leap Day!!
DeleteI laughed til I cried at the first meme about the toddler :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, many folks are dumber than a bag of rocks, as a friend used to say. But now they get together with their friends on social media and tell each other how right they are about everything. I have to tune it out most of the time. I just don't have the patience. I fully agree that the extra day every four years would have fixed things just as well in June or September. Maybe it was Aussie scientists who came up with February 29!
I think you might be onto something with the Aussie scientists.
DeleteToddlers aren't the only ones who have the diaper check. Older people do too but I think they smirk about it afterwards. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Good point, Mary.
DeleteI've worn clothes with those tiny plastic bits digging into my skin SO MANY times in my life. They are both an annoyance and fairly useless.
ReplyDeleteCan confirm, Bea.
