Bobservations

I have often said to Carlos that if I ever decided that our relationship has run its course, that he was be the first person, other than myself, to know about.

That time has come and I explained to him that I was attracted to someone else and perhaps I would be moving on …

This Tuxedo Says comes to us from December 12/10/2020:

Tuxedo, sadly, cannot vote, but he is growing ever more furious at the way this country works.

Last week, after the g-ICE-stapo tried to enter Dodger stadium and the team owners refused them entry, the Los Angeles Dodgers organization announced that they will donate $1 million to families impacted by recent immigration raids. Dodgers’ president and CEO Stan Kasten said:

“What’s happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected. We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles.”

City of Angels to the rescue.

This year, the Stonewall National Monument in New York City is displaying only the traditional Rainbow Pride flag, excluding transgender and progress flags during Pride Month. This decision by the National Park Service [NPS] has led to criticism and protests, with some activists and visitors planting their own flags in defiance. 

The Stonewall National Monument is the first US National Monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights, having been designated as such in 2016 by President Barack Obama. It has since become tradition for the monument to be adorned with various Pride flags, including the trans flag with the NPS funding installation of the flags until this year when the NPS told photographer, advocate, and installation creator Steven Love Menendez that the park will not allow Trans or Progress Pride flags this year; Menendez says:

“I used to be listed as an LGBTQ activist, and now it says ‘Steven Menendez, LGB activist [because] they took out the Q and the T.”

Erasing our trans brothers and sisters.

You gotta love the idea of muscular men in onesies grabbing at each other  and their nice taut cakes …

Mads Mikkelsen, a 21-year-old Norwegian tourist claims that when he landed at Newark Airport in New Jersey on June 11 he was detained and put in a cell while authorities searched his phone and found that image up there … a meme he made of JD Vance.

Authorities are now saying Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.

But wouldn’t it be wild if that meme took off?

There are rumors that Kid Rock and Lauren Gropert are an item, and the couple have been spotted out and about in DC.

Just remember that the United States had a nuclear weapons treaty with Iran until a reality show host tore that agreement up because he was jealous of a Black man’s accomplishment. And then the butt-hurt asshat got pissy when his parade flopped and decided to bomb Iran.

Christian Bale is building a $22 million foster care village in Palmdale, California, called "Together California" which aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for foster siblings to stay together. It will feature 12 homes, studio apartments, and a community center. Bale said he was inspired by the challenges faced by foster children, particularly the separation of siblings, and hoped to create a place where children can feel a sense of belonging and family. 

Nice guy, eh?

Arthur Kulkov is one of the few highly successful Russian male models and has been prominently featured in American publications such as GQ and Details but the question is … Вы бы ударили его? I mean, Would You Hit It?

Meme Dump

Why Is It ...

… that no one gets my two rules for the heat: 1. Drink lots of water, and 2. Watch how you talk to me.

… that I hate when cashiers feel the need to use that marker to see if my bills are counterfeit. If I had counterfeit money I wouldn’t be at the Dollar Tree, Karen.

… that without coffee I wouldn’t be the perky foul-mouthed delightful bitch that I am?

... that whenever I tell someone I’m a ‘people pleaser, they always ask, ‘Name three people that are pleased with you.’

… that if I ever say ‘I’ll let you know,’ just know the answer is always no.

… that life seems to give me a plot twist every single week?

… that one of my toxic traits is knowing you can’t threaten me with screenshot. I said what I said. Get me a microphone and I’ll say it again .

… that while I always thought I’d age like a fine wine, but now I feel more like an avocado.

… that no one understands that if I say I can’t talk it’s because I already talked to two people … yesterday.

Monday Mood

I feel like Rosita, a lump of flesh. It's been hot ... in the 90s with high humidity ... for several days and I am not in the mood for it. The only relief came in the form of laughter when I read that MAGAts crowds booed Miss Lindsey Graham for six straight minutes when she introduced Thing 45 at a rally here in South Carolina.

That's all I've got for y'all today, but it's the little things that bring me joy. I'll be sitting under a fan sippin. a Mint Julep and fannin' myself until the heat breaks.

No Heat!

 It's never a dull moment here at Casa Bob y Carlos, and this past Saturday was no exception. We awoke to find that it was 19-degrees outside, with a high of about 35 for the day. I took off to run some errands and while I was out, Carlos called to tell me the heat had stopped. He'd called our heating guy but he couldn't come until the next day.

Back home, with  space heater, knit caps, sweaters and sweats and thick socks we muttered through the day, and night, when the temperature again fell, though not as cold as 19-degrees; this time it was a practically balmy 21-degrees.

Sunday was space heaters, socks, sweats, sweaters, caps, slippers, blankets, cats and dogs, all wrapped up in and on us. The heating guy came around 11AM and within about ten minutes warm air was again flowing through the casa,

The best part was Carlos telling the repairman how ironic it was that the heat always goes out in winter, and the AC in summer, and the repairman, bless his heart a deeply Southern gentleman, replied:

"Well, I guess that only happens cuz cuz y'ain't using the heat in summer."

PS I saw this outfit online and have ordered a pair for Carlos and me, in case the heat ever goes out again ... even in summer.
