With Carlos’ vision issues, we’ve had to change the way things
are done at Casa Bob y Carlos, and one of the things we changed was the setting
of the thermostat. We keep it set for heat at 68-degrees, and for the AC at 80-degrees
and it works just fine. But Carlos had difficulty seeing the settings and so I set
it for him, explaining that there are three buttons along the bottom of the
thermostats and the far right one turns everything on. “Push once for heat. I have it set at 68 and so the heat will come on if it’s colder than that.” Carlos thought he needed to raise the heat so a couple of
times this past winter I came home to find the heat on at 78 degrees. The same
for the AC. “Push the button twice for the AC. I have it set at 80 and it’ll come on when it gets too hot in the house.” I came home the other day and it was 67 degrees in the house
which, yes, should mean he’d want the heater on but … Anyway, he found a smart thermostat that is voice activated
and wondered if we should get one, and I said:
It doesn’t, but he did, and very colorfully I might add. |

After the recent cheering by the right at the thought of Roe
v Wade being overturned coupled with this latest vote, it isn’t any clearer
that the GOP only cares about a fetus, and not a child. And they don’t care about women, or mothers, at all. |

Eric Clapton who fought against COVID mask mandates for his
tour last year has COVID must cancel the remaining dates on this leg of his
tour. If only there was something he could have done … Sorry, not sorry, Covidiot. |

We’ve been watching The First Lady on Showtime, which tells
the stories of Michelle Obama, played by Viola Davis, Betty Ford played by
Michelle Pfeiffer, and Eleanor Roosevelt played by Gillian Anderson. I adore Viola, but her performance seems more caricature
because she changed the way she moves her mouth, pursing her lips in way that
seems unnatural to her, though reminiscent of Obama. Anderson is good as
Eleanor, though she comes across as quite frail and I never got that impression
by reading about Eleanor Roosevelt. But Michelle Pfeiffer is brilliant as Betty Ford. Subtle,
quiet; she reveals the character sometimes without saying a word. I’ve always
liked Pfeiffer and thought her a good actor, but she’s amazing in this. The
last episode dealt with Betty Ford's mastectomy and Michelle Pfeiffer slayed that
role. I’d watched her alone as Betty Ford. |

In the wake of these two latest mass shootings
in the United Sates of Guns, ALLEGED mad of ‘g’od Franklin Graham posted
to Facebook that only a relationship with Jesus Christ can stop gun
violence. Really, Frank? Really, Cuz, there have been 198 shootings in
this country so far this year so please tell me when Jesus is gonna stop
the madness. Or maybe he’s too busy picking winning basketball teams and
baseball games. Fuck all the way off, charlatan. |

Talk about a snowflake … according to ex-Secretary of
Defense Mark Esper’s memoir, A Sacred Oath, Thing
45 once demanded that former General Stan McChrystal and former Admiral William
McRaven be recalled into active duty just so that they could be court-martialed
for criticizing Thing 45. Seriously, what a little bitch. |

Amid the political backlash with the GOP over Florida’s ‘Don’t
Say Gay’ law, Disney will be donating ALL the profits from its pride
merchandise to charities that help the LGBTQ+ community like GLSEN, PFLAG, The
Trevor Project, Zebra Coalition, Los Angeles LGBT Center, LGBT Center Orange
County, San Francisco LGBT Center, and the Ali Forney Center. Mickey has zero fucks to give. |

Meghan McCain wrote a book after leaving The View that she called Bad Republican: A Memoir in which she “expresses how it is to feel like you no longer fit in with your political party.” The book first came out as an audio book and when a paperback version was released it sold … 244 copies. Ouch. PS I imagine that hair pin cost her more than the book made. |
