When Classy

By Andrea Menzies What is classy when you are rich, but trashy when you are average or poor? I saw this posted on Instagram, and some of the answers are surprising. Not driving, having a vintage car, biking, or having a license is another mark of wealth. Having a 4000 dollar Italian racing bike your chauffeur drives you to use is healthy, environmental, and wise. Speaking two languages got many…

U Phoenix Escape

By Andrea Menzies I escaped the nightmare that is University of Phoenix this week, and transferred schools. The flashy advertising sucked me in, but full blown con-artists run that school and they should really lose their accredited status. Google the phrase “University of Phoenix lawsuit” and the Internet explodes with examples. No the problems are not a thing of the past. I dropped a class…

Bike It Up

By Andrea Menzies

The good news is I was feeling well enough to bike 4 days this week 3 or more miles. I have been able to practice running errands with the e-bike. Yes the battery helps, but you still have to steer with your arms, balance on two wheels, and many roads are NOT fully made for bikes so you end up walking your bike on the sidewalks or lawns near roads with no bike space. Sunny…

Protest Week

By Andrea Menzies Lots of action online with the protest week for No Kings Day. Many people are out and about normally not the type to protest. My group cancelled, and I am going to find a new group to join for the next set.

Happy Friday The 13th

By Andrea Menzies Happy Friday The 13th To All! Today I fell and skinned my knee. Darn Friday the 13th I thought! Now the question will haunt me did I randomly fall, or subconsciously make it happen due to knowing it was the 13th? Was I just more aware of my bad luck due to it being Friday the 13th? I tend not to go out on Friday the 13th not because of my own superstition, but because I know…

Bashing Call

By Andrea Menzies Protesters hearing the call for justice are being bashed down this week. I joined several Feminist Alliance groups online to protest against Trump this week. Unfortunately I had to go to the hospital twice, and protesters were being bashed down super hard so I had to cancel going. Violation of the right of free speech is being tossed around like a frisbee this week in the USA.…

Record Bike

By Andrea Menzies I was feeling so much better today I set a record for my longest bike ride on the Strava app. The new bike is working great! I am glad I finally have a working bike as the weather is good enough for it. I have a ton of night school research homework to do, and having transportation to the library for homework is a much needed school tool for productivity.

Single Ladies

By Andrea Menzies I am one of the single ladies, and have not even had a cheek kiss in three years. This month marks the three year point, and this made me upgrade my dating profiles to premium. I have had many long term dating relationships before, and have been married and divorced. I can have long term relationships, but the jerks of Virginia THEY have been dumping ME. This is why I am only…

Back To Bike

By Andrea Menzies At long last I can bike again, and biked a three mile ride. I am going to keep Pine Sol and hand sanitizer on me every second of the day this summer as I do NOT want to deal with that crap one more time. I had a flu shot at Walgreens just before summer, but that helped nothing at all. I labeled my first return ride the feeling better ride, and it is way better to not feel…

The Day Off

Better Days

By Andrea Menzies All the heaven saints made antibiotics, and after taking them I am much better. Thanks to all the people who wished for me to “get well soon” when I was sick. As a substitute teacher I work at the desks of the sickest teachers in the district, and this leaves me constantly extra sick. This is just one of the reasons I am going to night school online to NOT be a substitute…

Super Sick

By Andrea Menzies So sick with bronchitis. I finally got a doctor’s prescription for antibiotics as the first doctor refused to prescribe them leaving me in agony days longer. My podcast usually starts up again in summer reviewing books, but I am too sick to even read right now. It will be on hiatus longer.

Bad Cold 2

By Andrea Menzies I had to go to the emergency room I was so sick this week. This time it was not COVID even though I had COVID19 a month ago the emergency room verified. I am thinking of filing a complaint as the person sticking me for blood tests did such a bad job there were pools of blood everywhere. They did a hand sick for no reason, and kept the needle in hours longer than needed then…

Yearly Remembrance Note

By Andrea Menzies It is time for my yearly remembrance note honoring my father lieutenant colonel Neil Menzies for Memorial Day. He died when I was a child of his military combat wounds, and it caused hardships for my family. He is the man in the picture below, and I am the baby. The toll of war has many price tags on the soul.

Show Take 2

By Andrea Menzies Note on Assemblage 23: They fixed the ticket issue and gave me a refund on the second ticket! Yes I was stuck hunting for parking forever, and missed many songs. But I love Assemblage 23 shows no matter what happens, and I am glad they had the great taste to put on an amazing show. The first time I saw them I was in San Antonio, and the fire department almost shut the venue…

Assemblage 23

By Andrea Menzies I made it to the Assemblage 23 show at Renegade in the DC area. Unfortunately I bought the ticket online, and it deducted money from my bank. Then NEVER sent me a Google ticket or email ticket so the venue refused to let me inside without buying a fresh ticket. When VNV played Silver Springs it was a FAR better show in every respect. Whenever a good show goes to Virginia they…
