Time to change the name of The "White"House

The adjective to describe a most visible structure in our country is unfortunate at best. I personally found it ironic and satisfyingly amusing when the first black man moved in. His family may be the greatest to ever reside there and care for it.

What’s a good name?
Possibly:

The People’s House
President’s Mansion (after most states gov mansion)

IDK... but it shouldn’t be the “white” house any longer in my opinion!

I just told my boyfriend I am moving out.

It’s over tRump. I’ve been seeing him 2 yrs+ and we tried out the living together (10 months now) but it only showed me he’s not just conservative. He really supports that fucker and admitted it not only a half hour ago.

We are polar opposites on this and neither can be moved. I. Will. Not. Move. On. This.

I am so fucking tolerant of so much. But not this.

Anyway, fuck this sucks. How can a person be so cool and so fucking stupid at the same time? Damnit!

I found a place first. Now the awkward shitshow will begin. Ugh!

Scored fresh PNW oysters!

Friends have a cabin with private beach access. They don’t eat em. I do! And told em if they would pick em up I would gladly pay. No. They weren’t having it.

Yesterday, they picked half a bucket of big ones! Around 11:30. I had em in my hot little hands by 2:30 since they have a drive. But by 4:30 I was ensconced on the river with shucking tools!

Heaven sent, wonderful surprise for Memorial Day BBQ. Low key but the food was too too good. Beers to go with and lots of mj to make you get the munchies for more OYSTERS!

I like to shoot em with bloodymary mix and Titos.

Generation X - gonna ride out Covid like no other generation

We the latch key kids.
No helicopter parents.
Agent orange running thru our veins....along with nicotine, alcohol, and thc!
Didn’t live with mommy and daddy till after 30 and would never want to!
Didn’t have tech to dumb us down as kids and young adults.

And we’ll watch it all burn down to the fucking ground and “dance with ourselves”!

Ready. Steady. Go!

Marijuana packaging SUCKS!

I know there are labeling requirements but just slap that fucking label on a sandwich baggie and fucking sell it to me even cheaper! Shit!

Those stupid commercial art zip bags fail all the time, have a double crease at the bottom where you have to dig out the last of yo weed and sometimes don’t tear open right so if you aren't near a pair of scissors then you might have to go rabid on the damn thing!

Jars suck too! Wasteful! What happened to film canisters??? Just slap a label on that and forget about the jar. Film canister production would come back. Glass thrown away is wasteful dangit! Reuse that film canister for the roaches!

Don’t get me started on the packaging for my PAX ERA vape. O.M.G. When I am done opening it we are both breathing heavy and that box (that is 1000x the size of the cartridge) is in shreds! Fuck.

Am I getting old?

Learning to play Madden football on PS4

A friend loaned us Madden 2020. I really like the lifelike play and commentary. This can be useful to pass the lockdown time and get sports addiction fix.

I haven’t played any video games for about 25 yrs so I am very handicapped! Still learning the buttons and there is so much to watch and take in during play. I will be practicing for a while.

Meanwhile, my bf is bashing the Raiders with Patrick Mahomes at the helm. Chiefs 21, Raiders 3. He knows what he’s doing.
I’m in trouble!

Spaghetti sauce last night...

I used chicken Italian Sausage, a jar of 4 cheese sauce and embellished that with garlic powder, fresh homegrown oregano, rosemary and parsley.

This was extremely good served over regular noodles. BUT. Today. I fried some polenta slices (basil and garlic premade) and served the rest of the sauce over that fried polenta. Effing amazing!

I am making banana bread with walnuts right now and the whole place smells wonderful.

Rainy day in Seattle area makes for good cooking weather.
