Sam's Club - Membership Renew Adventures

The Godfather is most generous and usually pays my Sam's Club membership via his business plan.
This year was different and Sam's requested a membership fee from me to continue shopping. 
I paid.

Some days later I inquired on the difference on this year's membership with their Service Desk as The Godfather thought memberships were paid for all associates accounts.
They explained that only the primary business account holder's membership was paid.
Toby: "The Godfather is never wrong!!!"
Sam's Service Desk: "Who?"
<stormed out of the Sam's Club>

<gathered composure and returned to Sam's>
Sam's Service Desk: "The Godfather may think all account memberships are paid for, but The Godfather is incorrect. We see this scenario all the time...."
Toby: "What part of 'The Godfather is never wrong' is ambiguous to you?"
Sam's Service Desk <smirking>: "And The Godfather must not like you very much....."
Toby: "Why?"
Sam's Service Desk: "For the same price, you could have a membership with all benefits."
Toby: "And....."
Sam's Service Desk: "You have no benefits.  However, there is an added bonus; You paid for The Godfather's girlfriend's membership!"
Toby: "That's not a bonus to me......"

Sore Loser Republicans

Republicans in Wisconsin and Michigan lost their power and now in their lame duck sessions they are reducing the power of the new Democrats who won but have not been seated. North Carolina did this as well in 2016.

This is a disgrace to democracy as is the gerrymandered districting. Colorado just voted to have 3 Republican, 3 Democrats and 3 Independents do the next redistricting, eliminating the party in power from being able to choose their voters.

Dead Guy Wins Nevada Race

Brothel owner who died Oct 16, 3 weeks before the election, won his race. The Republicans are so entrenched that they would rather a dead guy win than a Democrat. Now it is true that they will give his seat to another Republican, but still come on people.

Arizona

Election Day got off to a rocky start when voters in one town outside Phoenix showed up to vote only to find their polling place had been foreclosed upon the day before.

Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes said the landlord of the building, which appears to be a strip mall, locked it overnight after workers already had set up the polling place. There are ballots inside the building, he said.

Fontes said his staff was working with the sheriff’s office to see whether they could forcibly enter the property to collect the ballots and equipment. In the meantime, he said, poll workers set up a temporary polling place in the parking lot.

Coors vs Miller

With the Colorado Rockies(Coors Field) and Milwaukee Brewers(Miller Park) in the NLDS the two beer companies have a friendly wager that who ever loses has to buy the other teams fans a beer before the NLCS begins. Of course both brands are owned by the same parent company so it is just a give away to the winning fans essentially.

I am

So on the way to the hospital the other day to visit my girlfriend who has now received a lung transplant I come up to the intersection of Airport and 6th Street. There is a plastic grocery bag in the middle of the intersection. Airport Blvd is 6 lanes and 6th Street is 4 lanes and this bag is right in the center of the interchange and moves as cars go whipping past. As cars turn it moves this way and that but basically stays right in the same spot just spinning from all the movement around it.

I look at the bag and see my life right now. I have no control, I'm being spun this way and that as I try to put out the dumpster fire that my life has become. I think I am starting to get a cold, my back hurts, my feet hurt, I'm losing my mind. I'm working on pure adrenalin it seems now. I don't know how much longer I can do this. There is so much work to be done at her house to get it ready for a lung transplant patient. At least I had a vacation right after her surgery so I started the work with something in the tank but the tank grows drier by the day. More people have started to contribute but it seems like I am all alone in this fight.

I'm tired, I am the plastic bag.

Colorado Weather

We have been having some active weather lately in Colorado. Lots of rain, hail and wind. With all the rain the soil is saturated and you add in the wind and now 2 of my trees have been blown over. We propped them back up and tied them to posts with ratchet straps. One of the trees, the Northern Elm, though is probably 20ft tall so I don't know if it will make it. The other is my peach tree. The peach is the only tree that has fruit on it still as all the apples have disappeared(squirrels?) and the cherry had no blossoms this year.

From the mouths of babes....

In the front yard god son playing on the sidewalk with a rollie pollie, up walks god daughter and stomps on the rollie pollie. The mother asks why would she do that. The god son responds trying to diffuse the situation, "Don't worry mom his soul is with Jesus and his body is with concrete".









God son believes that Jesus must be a zombie because he died and came back to life just like a zombie does.










Musings from the hospital.....

While taking my girlfriend for walks around the hospital floor there is a prisoner who is chained to the bed with a guard always in his room. My girlfriend has COPD really bad so we take breaks as we walk and we took a break right at the prisoners room and he was watching TV. He was watching.....COPS.

On the menu the other day at the hospital I noticed they had Beef Wellington. I like Beef Wellington. Filet with vegetables wrapped in a puff pastry, yum. Well it turns out Beef Wellington at the hospital is ground beef with a vegetable compote covered by a soggy bread like substance. So I asked what would Surf and Turf be at the hospital, girlfriend responds

"Pigs Feet and a Goldfish".

We laughed for quite some time at that.

They will soon be unemployed and on the government dole that they rail so hard against. What will it take to convince someone like this to make better judgments, they vote against their very own self interests.

Fascinating.

Red Hen Protestors

This is one of the funniest articles I have read lately. It's just interviewing protestors and reporting at the Red Hen.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/outside-the-red-hen-fire-and-ire-on-social-media-come-to-life/ar-AAzdtSt?li=BBnb7Kz

Funny Lines from the article:

LEXINGTON, Va. —America broke out Tuesday afternoon in this small Shenandoah Valley town.

“Just to let these people know that we don’t appreciate their communism and their kicking out our public servant,” said Chris Wayne, 35, 

Wayne gave his occupation as “vigilante” — he pointed to the “VGL-NTE” license plates

“It’s lost its way. There are too many come-heres and transplants and carpetbaggers,”

“Don’t eat at the commie cluck,” read one woman’s hand-lettered poster.

“This town is full of people who don’t know Jesus Christ and rebel against Jesus Christ through their sins,” shouted Dianna Orea, 50

Edgar Orea, began railing against “Sodomites.”

A ponytailed man came up with a bucket of chicken manure and dumped it on the corner in front of the Red Hen and was promptly arrested. 

And the Best one...

Wayne and Jennings, the Confederate flaggers, quickly crossed the street to get away from the anti-gay sloganeers. “We don’t want anything to do with that crazy religious bigot stuff,” Wayne said.

This is America Today. I weep.

[Voice of Keith Morrison - Dateline] "Oh, That Pesky Constitution......"

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents...

...as seen in the comments on the separating of children from their parents in the immigration debacle happening along the border.

Not sure how anyone with a conscience could think this is a good idea to separate families. These children will be traumatized for the rest of their lives and will come back to haunt us once they reach maturity. I believe this is how terrorist are formed.
