^ God I sympathize . :(
I’m eating in my car as we speak ! Ugh.
Places are open here but the Ramen place I wanted was closed so I got this cheap asian food out of starvation.
I find it interesting. Didn't the U.K. roll out a ton of vaccines? The majority must still be waiting there too or there wouldn't be a need for this.

Off to find the best looking cowboy within 10 miles and “ save a horse “ if you get my drift. :)

Random thoughts and a random question-
* I got blocked off of Instagram b/c I had 2 FB profiles and got accused of using IG for promotion that was in violation of their TOS...........
Should I even bother to get back on IG? I miss seeing what my Canadian friends post.
On the other hand I feel like IG is a giant waste of time. More so than Facebook honestly.
Random thought- need to do laundry, blarghhhh

^^ And I actually need FB for my business
I just use FB for sales groups and Messenger.....
Which brings me to my 2nd question....Is Facebook really gathering info on our online shopping habits via FB Messenger?
Not that I care but gah the level of intrusion of privacy that FB does is beyond creepy.
Random thought- need to turn on oven

Thats tough when you’ve built a following on FB
The best thing is to diversify and build your brand on a variety of social media platforms (in case you decide to dip out from FB or if they ban you, you can still be rolling in other places) even if it means hiring an affordable social media manager to manage content on those platforms for you.

The way FB messenger was designed was terrible. It's noisy and (to me) not user friendly.

I did a trade with another artist in the AirBnB.
She was just SO LOVELY . I gave her two nights and now J and I have a big watercolor original ( landscape ).
J wants to get the framing done on it for me as a gift.
She was super organized and easy ! I can't say enough good things about her hahaha so I'll give her some shouts out on social media . Maybe I can get a few folks interested and get her some more sales.

I’ve made some tough, but overdue, decisions to throw out a lot things while unpacking. Some equipment was expensive and never used, but I’ve moved it for years and it just takes up space, and I still won’t use it for years probably. I keep telling myself that by the time I would have time and space for these things again, there will be newer things on the market and I’ll also have the money to just buy them again.

Still trying to understand why the Irish woman chooses to stay. It’s not like the money she makes here is all that great. I asked her, and her response was, “I get to spend to,e every day with my best friend”, which I’ll admit was a little overwhelming for me, but I got to thinking about this again today while coworkers of mine were making fun of fast food workers, the fight for 15, etc. Don’t really understand how they fail to realize they’re much closer to a fast food worker than they are to a CEO, amd that everything they - and I - have is much less at risk of being taken away from them from robbers than by a politician with a few strokes of a pen. If they decided they wanted to build a Walmart where I live, I know already I’d lose that fight. Not to mention seeing how stranded S was when she needed a lifeline the most, or how the system allows the girl in group care - as well as the others there - to live. Or the treatment doled out to my black coworker for simply exercising his right not to talk to the police when they questioned him for walking outside after dark, people I deployed with who are now living by a shoestring, and so much more. Then the fuckshits who promulgate this turn around and flout their religion, completely ignoring that the teachings of Jesus endorsed exactly the opposite of what this system is.
I certainly wouldn’t stay if I didn’t have to.

Hahaha I’m watching the news at my hotel and some guy from Orange County was involved in rushing the White House.
So you’re telling me this MF-er boarded a plane to DC to bum rush the White House?!?! Lollll
That’s a level of dedication I can’t replicate for a stranger or a president. Haha I’m all thinking of the flight staff “so what brings you to traveling to DC?”
Him: Trump!

I don't know if this USB microphone kit on Amazon is any good, but if you apply the code 8GDVOYFN at checkout, you order it for $8. The microphone includes a boom arm and pop filter, normally goes for $80.

George Clooney is so attractive still. I’m not sure if it’s his voice, the way he carries himself, or if he just ages well.
I feel like the same will happen for Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s so fine.

I've noticed newcomers to America revel in the amount of personal freedom afforded to individuals. I've been told Ireland is charming but still very stricken by poverty and not so great if one dislikes the influence of the Catholic Church.
My Random Thought- I'm so pissed I misplaced my Tarot Cards during our move last Fall. However, the silver lining is I can get a new set and use them to give others readings. That is more in line with the superstition of a "fresh start" with a new deck and a set of cards that are meant for others (my personal Tarot deck is what I did readings for myself with.....)

not so great if one dislikes the influence of the Catholic Church.
I certainly wouldn’t want that. But, at the same time, is it so much worse than the influences we have here, both religious and secular?

^^I think it really depends where you’re coming from. My SIL is from Iceland and she’s pretty disappointed/frustrated at how dysfunctional our country is. Iceland is a lot more ‘free’ in the sense of being more secular, healthy work life balance, being able to hike on someone else’s land, nudity not being a big deal, limits on police interactions etc. I’ve talked to Canadians who like visiting but worry about being a victim of violent crime or needing medical care while they’re here. But on the other hand my African bf thinks carving out a life for yourself here is a huge accomplishment despite all the racism and corruption. He grew up in a village with no electricity or indoor plumbing so I suppose it’s relative.

Oh definitely for immigrants from very impoverished places, America is a true ....mind trip. Indoor plumbing, running hot and cold taps, supermarkets full of diverse food....These things we take for granted in Westernized nations are not common in other parts of the world.

It didn’t turn out so bad. Mostly, they’re amused that I went back into towing and recovery as a direct result of the strip climbs shutting down with the pandemic. Guy’s still an asshole for doing that, though. But it’s not surprising. He didn’t put me with the intention of trying to embarrass me - he just likes to stroke his own ego and tell people he was a bouncer so they’ll think he’s some sort of badass. Thing of it is, the only reason he had and held that job was because his brother was a manager, and he got his ass kicked more than once after escalating simple ejections into fights. The night I got into the fight with the other stripper, they would often rob him with, “The smallest girl here has a better fight record than you”. While a couple of us from my company were printing out our decals at Copart (they’re basically inventory tags), he was talking about wanting to get into repossessions. Which, not only does he have the wrong truck for it, but he has entirely the wrong demeanor for it, and would end up turning a situation which would’ve remained peaceful into one which wasn’t.
