MORE MAMAW CHRISTIANS

Good evening. ☕️🌄

*Please forgive the grammatical errors.  

Pip watch! We're on pip watch. How exciting! My grandma gene is going hard right now.

So

I'm pondering moving to Henderson, NV. I currently reside in Enterprise. Enterprise is also called Las Vegas the same way Encino is called Los Angeles but ain't no one who actually lives in Encino call it L.A. I live in Enterprise.

Henderson, NV, can be summed up like this: Google map search "sushi restaurants" and Olive Garden pops up. I kid you not. The town does have a beloved Mister Kim's Korean BBQ oddly enough but Mister Kim's is a chain AYCE restaurant and we all know how much Southern Nevadians love to eat - buffets like an ocean as far as they eye can see. Anyway, I like the town. It's hick. It's small town. I was at Starbucks and a fat old Karen with a bird's nest for hair stared at me like she wanted to say something and I got excited like a long forgotten actress making a comeback in aTarantino movie, "Oooh say it. I dare you. Say it!" But she didn't. Perhaps her radar went off letting her know I grew up in a place where literally anything can be used as a deadly weapon even at Starbucks: napkin dispenser, chair, straws, all of it could put you in a coma, lady, all of it I promise you. I don't condone violence but I understand it.

While waiting for the metro some old man missing more teeth than he had left, engaged in conversation with me by asking where I live. The conversation went as well as could be expected with a man who looked like he fought in the civil war. It ended with his utter confusion as to which way was east and which way was west. He scampered off when I reminded him Las Vegas Blvd runs north and south. In truth I think he was beginning to sundown. 

America. When our country goes completely up in smoke only Gen X'ers will survive and the country will end with us because all the women of my generation are pre/post menopausal. Just take it back, Mexico. In 40 years ain't no one stopping you - although you might be met at the boarder with an army of midlife crises content creators who will insist on a dance-off first. 

Day 43 government shutdown. 🫤

Obviously. When was the last time politicians cared about the American people. We're all just unwanted children stuck in the middle of mom & dad politics while they go through yet another bitter separation for the umpteenth time. 

"They'll get paid on the 30th" the Orange tube donkey said like politicians are doing TSA employees a favor by paying employees. You know Trump wants us all to be serfs. 

And y'all think he doesn't have dementia. Are you sure? Is this real? He can't even be thankful without sounding completely insane. Can you imagine him saying Grace before dinner? 

THIS THIS THIS! 👇🏼

I'm finally reading Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance before becoming VP Vance. I've been curious what inspired Ron Howard to direct a film based on this book by this author aside from the fact it spent 54 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. I'm about halfway through the book now and it definitely is a hillbilly elegy albeit very well written and quite interesting. He's a good writer. Vance had more layers to him before becoming the nitwit MAGA mushroom you see before you today. I'm not fond of storytellers in written form lacking dialog as in there is none in this book, furthermore I don't know how a script was manufactured to make a film but I guess that means I have to watch the movie now when I'm done reading the book. If all I knew about J.D. Vance is what I'm reading in this book I'd say he's a likable guy, or at least he used to be. In the book Vance fought the good fights, praised blue collar working class, and knew the difference between right and wrong... Aaand then he went hard deep into politics. Still, it seems growing up Appalachian wasn't that much different from growing up prarie like I did. If Vance went back to being the guy who wrote Hillbilly Elegy, shedding off his Maga snake scales and just went back to being the guy who fought bullies and loved his Mamaw to no end, he could actually be the next president of the United States running as either Democrat or Republican. Only time will tell I guess. Who knows, maybe he could even get us Independents and Libertarians back to the Republican party. I'd still like to see Newsom run for president but I'd also like to see Vance go back to the man he was when he wrote Hillbilly Elegy. Additionally I think Vance would get the Christian vote which is in part how Trump (somehow) won 2024. Catholics and evangelicals, and oh boy is there a lot of them in this country, believe only God wills it, and while Lutherans too believe we have our own personal relationship with God, unlike evangelicals we know man is responsible for himself. 

Man must be obedient to the teachings of Christ, FYI that includes the removal of all seven deadly sins from your life, if he dare calls himself a Christian.  

CHAPTER 6: "... where she would watch Law & Order, read the Bible, and fall asleep." Welp, that's describes me at least five nights a week. "Mamaw, does God love us?" She hung her head, gave me a hug, and began to cry." Also describes me at least five nights a week. 😏 

I like this book far more than I thought I would. No wonder it was on New York Times bestseller list for 54 weeks. It's just so relatable. Humble. Human. 

I'm too lazy to type out the following quote so here's a screenshot of what Vance wrote in Hillbilly Elegy: 

Oh. You mean like this?👇🏼

I don't know what kind of crosses those are BUT commonly known among Christians, Catholics wear crucifixes,  protestants (if they wear any cross at all) wear small silver crosses. No self respecting Lutheran/protestant who actually follows the teachings of Christ would wear such an embellishment as those monstrous crosses shown above. It's a false praise. Its virtue signaling. It's the same reason Lutherans/protestants don't have crucifixes in their houses, or statues of Christ, or paintings of Christ, or candles with Christ's image in their homes, praise be to God and the son of God, not embellishments. You and me, Mamaw! 

Gentle reminder: All members of ordained clergy swore an oath to God. 

That oath: chastity, obedience, and poverty. Their earnings come from the church in the form of stipens (less than minimum wage). 

Pope Francis is deeply admired among Lutherans for upholding his oath of poverty. He reportedly didn't reside one day in the Apostolic Palace instead chosing to live in a guest house at the Vatican which was reported to be a single room and bathroom.

It is reported Pope Leo XIV returned Catholic tradition by living in the papal palace as is his right.

Martin Luther's reformation oppose those trying to purchase their way into Heaven. Wealth can buy you many things but it cannot, will not, save your soul. 

NOTE this is what a decent sane person says who is admittedly not Christian:

Me too, brother. I support atheists if that's what you want to be. We got bigger fish to fry.

IN THIS EPISODE of sharing a bathroom with a man:

It's hetero males like Trump who encourage filthy dudes like the one I share a bathroom with to leave ick stuff like this in our communal shower. 🤮 Is that what I think it is? is that mold on it?! Gross!! Males are so gross. He's going to be single until the day he dies. And by the looks of it "something" is rotting off his body. 🤮 Nasty. 

Thank goodness for Sesame Street. The only thing in our country that makes sense to me these days. 

I love you too Elmo! 

Sonetimes the doom scroll can be rewarding. 😏

We're so inundated with politics (everywhere!) it's no wonder pet reels are the most popular subject on a social media. I miss the days when we got our news on TV at 5pm. We had favorite news anchors and our country wasn't a 24/7 horror freak show because we were ignorant of it. Only at 5pm, 6pm and/or 10pm did we suffer the news and usually we (kids) were out the door immediately after supper to play until the street light came on. I also miss the early days of the internet, AOL chat rooms, watching the car wind down that mountain until the ultimate jump scare, and back when ASL meant something other than American Sign Language. (Sigh) How fast it all changed. 

The tech world is working fast and hard to make us gals AI boyfriends. Can't say I hate the idea especially since fleshy men are struggling with body rot apparently. 🤮

🤮 Dude. Bro. 

MAGA, so ridiculous even James Woods jumped ship.

Welcome to sanity my guy. 

AND ANOTHER THING

Preach Preacher! 👇🏼😀

For two years in my teens I attended Catholic church and considered converting to Catholicism but then I came to my senses. 😏 Don't need no priest to talk to God. You ain't His secretary, sir. But in those two years I learned a thing or two about their catechism (oh dear!) And it amazes me still how supposed-catholics get their own faith wrong. 

"What happens to a good person when they die who are not Christian. Do they still get into Heaven?" 

"No. They go to Hell."

Um. That's not in the Catholic catechism. I believe that's what y'all purgatory is for. We protestants however just think you die. The end. Into the ether. Unless of course you're of different faith then you go wherever you've prepared your soul to go. God speed.

ANYWAY

Called it! 

Bro, my cow-bro, Google Ed Gein! Your human is a cannibal! I mean you're probably safe and all but - CANNIBAL! 

(Sigh)

Are the kids okay? 

Are they?

The carnivals are in town. Take your kids to the carnival. Do everything and anything to give them good memories of childhood. I've seen a few of these being set up. I actually like carnivals. We had them come and go on the prarie when I was a kid. Very innocent times they were. 

I pray for us. 

Hear it from your human leader, Catholics: 

As I preach, no Christian defender of the faith supports war. We are conscientious objectors. Always have been, always will be.

Don't believe me? Hear it from the Pope:

Thank you, good sir. 🙏🏻

God bless us all.

In closing...

I liked him when he ran for president. I didn't like him in the White House. He was stronger on the road than in the White House. Just my opinion. I liked his wife as First Lady, though.

OK Bye 👋🏼 

100% ALL YOU

Good evening. ☕️🌿

*Please forgive the grammatical errors... or not I couldn't care less. 😏

OMG Smartless got Cillian Murphy as a guest. LOVE him. He is a perfect example of why American women will travel out of the country to find a man. 

Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer are fantastic of course but I cannot stress enough to also see Cillian Murphy's earlier works. Disco Pigs, genius, but you must (must!) see Breakfast On Pluto.

After Oppenheimer Murphy also did an artsy film called Small Things Like These that I absolutely love. 

We need films. Our heart, souls, and sanity depend on books and films to help us cope with THIS 👇🏼 nonsense. 

ANYWAY

My late night doom scrolls is 90% no one being able to do Jungkook's Tiktok double 360 kick spin dance. Imagine if the internet came out when WE Gen X'ers were in our teens. No one would use it. We couldn't record a single skillset picked up in the 80's. 😏

Being 57 years old post menopause which means nothing to the men folk so sshhh I'm not talking to you fellas sit this one out, I've been encountering a mild assortment of gender neutral medical pains none of the men folk in my camp knew anything about. "Abdominal pain? Tooth pain? Never heard of such a thing." Sigh. 🙄 And then men wonder why they must be financial providers. I also experienced some painful swelling on the inside of my cheeck, canker sores perhaps. I was talking with a guy from Mexico the other morning at breakfast who said a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil from time to time helps the body with swelling. Daddy Google said rinse the mouth with warm salt water and then soak a cotten ball in EVOO and place the cotton ball inside the cheek for a few minutes. It worked! That guy was right! Again, not American. You must travel, ladies, if you want a man who can contribute anything other than money and gross d-pics. Thank goodness for the kindness of strange foreign men. 😏 And then I had pinching pain on my lower right side under my bellybutton. Fearing it was my appendex, I checked in with daddy Google once more. I didn't have a fever or nausea and the pain seemed like it was moving around my bellybutton weird as that sounds but daddy Google said drinking a teaspoon of EVOO in the evening before bed would help with gut swelling, lower side pain, and tummy swelling, and it worked! I bet it was his mama who taught that guy about the benefits of EVOO. It actually worked! The pain on my lower right side for the past two days is gone. My gut is flat again. Crazy! EVOO. God bless everyone who makes this magical tasty elixir. 🙏🏻 I'm supposed to be on the Mediterranean diet but good luck finding Mediterranean restaurants in Las Vegas. 

WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS

Where are the 1940's moms? What happened to them? The good 1940's moms who had endless hugs and baked your favorite cake when you were feeling down. My grandma was the greatest. Whatever you needed she magically had in her purse. Kleenex, change, chapstick, a ham and cheese on white, shoelaces, Q-tips, she had it all in her purse. 

My gripe for the week:

THIS! 👇🏼SERIOUSLY you gaggle of B'S! No one cares about your kids but you. Women who think their vaginas are made of gold are delusional AND their kids are the worst behaved. 

AND ANOTHER THING

Keep your dogs on a leash. It should be law if your kid or dog comes at me with or without you I can bat them away like I'm trying out for the Yankees. If it's a crime to hassle your kid, it should also be a crime when your kid hassles me. Dig? I'm 💯 over people thinking I'm the least bit interested in their dog or kid because you think your vagina is made of gold thus your kids and dogs must also be made of gold. Dogs, kids, people in general need to be well behaved minding their own business preferably two feet away from me when out among the general public. I don't meander when I'm out and about. I actually have things to do and places to go that's why I left the house. Look hon, I'm from the clique-generation X where we say "You and yours" because the general population are not welcome in our lives. Unlike today where people are so needy and desperate for attention they crave the general population everywhere to notice them all the time. "Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!" Whereas my generation X make it loud and clear, "Get the F away from me FOREVER!" Even our moms were like, "Go outside and play FOREVER." 

The's a trail behind the house that takes you to grocery stores, restaurants, stores like CVS, and metro stops. It's a nice peaceful 25 minute walk UNTIL someone (sometimes with an unleashed dog) feels the need to get attention from me. Get the F away from me. I don't want to talk to anyone. This is not a bar or a meet & greet. I just want to enjoy my walk from A to B WITHOUT YOU. Again, I think I should be allowed to bat these people away from me like I'm in Dawn of the Dead circa 1978. I don't even look friendly (my resting B face game is strong) AND I pull up my headphones the moment I see someone walking past me. 

There's a crazy Asian woman (it's ALWAYS Asian women!) who will cross the path just to physically run into me. God tests my patience he really does because I fantasize taking this brick of a cell phone and turning her head into a canoe. I don't condone violence but I understand it. 

Did all the nightclubs and local bars in Las Vegas shut down? Are there no more dating apps? Did the internet break? These are the places, fellas, that are safe spaces for you to try meeting women (good luck!) I don't drink but I'll eat at a bar if it's nearby and I like the food - when I'm feeling social that is. Its like people (men) who join gyms because they think that's where they should go to meet women. Gross. 🙄 FIRST OF ALL you have to try harder before you even leave the house, fellas. I share a bathroom with a guy in his mid to late 30's maybe early 40's and he is an absolute PIG in the bathroom. Just a slob. He's going to be single until the day he dies. 

EXAMPLE: What are these brown flakes he leaves in the bathroom sink? In the sink! 🤮 Every single day he leaves them in the sink. NASTY. I have to scrub out the sink with bleach every day just to wash my face and brush my teeth. 

We all know boys are ick but do you have to go out of your way to be this much ick, guys? Males like this guy are why women don't want to meet other men let alone date them. The ick-men C-block all other men. So nasty. 🤮 I wrote a nice note and left it in the bathroom but he don't give a single F. It's no wonder I have not had any romantic feelings for a man since 2012. Again, I don't condone violence BUT I UNDERSTAND IT.

"I rather crave violence." 

Jo March, Little Women

I understand, Ms March. I understand 💯!! God tests my patience every day. Every dang day.

All this static and skism in society is why the reproduction rate is wayyy down. According to daddy Google ain't no one making babies anymore. The Republicans blame porn for the long term decline . If JD Vance becomes the next president we'll see how many adult shops are still open in 2030. 

I personally have no use for adult stores. I never did really. I find them all rather silly. I went only to please the man I was seeing at the time. 🙄 If male/female hetero couples need all the rubber bells and whistles to enjoy each other's company, that relationship is already doomed to fail. God blessed hetero men and women with the necessary body parts to have sex. AND ANOTHER THING now that I'm much older and wiser, what's the point of being promiscuous? What's the point? Sex has no real value without love and marriage. Still, for whatever reason, however it comes about, the less children screaming on an airplane or in a restaurant is fine with me. Who can afford children anyway? Have less children. Let the ones alive today stand a chance.

(Sigh) 

I'm constantly reminding myself it's their world now, the kids. The less kids born the easier it will be for the smart ones to be found. Kids today will need the smart ones to keep them alive in the future like every generation before them. 

For those of you over 70 years of age allow daddy Google to explain...

As I've said before, it's their world now. 2026 and beyond are for the kids. The same kids who love shopping Erewhon, you know, the bougie grocery store where a half brick of firm Tofu, cubed, cost $14 in a plastic container. If you're feeling down you can always pick up "homemade" chicken noodle soup for $50 a jar. Yeah. $50. But hey, maybe the broth is made of morphine and in that case worth the money. 😏

If the kids today are making that kind of coin good for them. Use the internet. You pay for it. Use the internet and make money like this girl. For years I thought she was eating bull testicle. I'm still not sure what she's eating. Some say monkey brains but she eats this all the time. Her oddly large forehead lands in my doom scrolls at least five times a week. I mean how many monkeys are there in her country, or bulls for that matter? Any guesses what she's eating.

You and me, Jon. 😄 why didn't more men of our generation age like you? I'm currently at Starbucks (headsets on of course) the unspoken rule of everyone facing the same direction while seated at our tables means nothing to this guy who is facing me at his table. 🙄 FYI fellas, staring at women is creepy AF. 

Help me Jon Bon Jovi!  

The only place I'm okay meeting a man is if I'm having lunch at a bar which I do maybe once a week when I'm feeling social. I don't have a kitchen so I do eat one meal out a day. My generation (X) met men at bars. That's it. Bars. I don't drink but I do like socializing maybe once a week. At 57 years old I'll still go to a bar if I like the food. 

This is why so many people meet in the work place. You get to know each other over a period of time and laws in the work place protect women, or at least they're supposed to. 

It takes time for relationships to grow - all relationships. Somewhere along the line people 50+ forgot everything they grew up doing. Remember high school? Remember wanting to ask that pretty girl you like to the movies? That nerve wracking ritual never changes. Never. You still have to get your car washed, buy a new shirt, maybe some new shoes, get a haircut, make sure you have money in your wallet for burgers or pizza after the movie, you still have to be funny, charming, and want to be a better man to earn her trust and friendship so she'll keep seeing you, and if you're lucky maybe she will want to go miniature golfing with you the following Sunday. A second date, success! That never changes, fellas. Never. In 2021 I once heard a guy say, "If she doesn't sleep with me on the first day I'm dumping her." Good! Dump her. Do her that favor. Creep. Regular every day bums thinking they're Rockstars. It's sad. Sadder still are the women in 2021 and 2026 who belittle themselves by agreeing to be used. Do I love Bon Jovi, yup, I sure do. I love their music. I love the memories. I loved the 80's. That band had an excuse for prior youthful bad acts but it seems they did in fact grow up as all real men ought to do. They got married, had kids, bought houses, and become a healthy part of society. And then there are men today in 2026 with nowhere near Bon Jovi man-stats who think they're entitled to whatever from women just because (sigh) they were born males. I mean. 🙄

Finding a mate like finding God like finding anything you want badly enough takes time, love, and devotion or you'll end up on the wrong side of instant gratification every single time. Feeling the results of bad decision making is entirely up to you, no one else. No one is to blame for your lonely misery but you. You can be mister high and mighty alone on your peak of manhood OR you could be loved and adored. I'm single but I'm content. It's the people who say, "Oh I'm so lonely and miserable" I don't feel sorry for. You don't have to be miserable. You chose to be. You too can be alone and content.  It's called hobbies, friends, loving your friends and being loved back. If you're miserable it's  💯 because you want to be.

I LOVE YOU TOO PIGEON 😘 

See how easy that was. 

 

Who wants to go to IKEA for lunch. Yum. 😋 Swedish food is so good. 

This is the view from my bedroom window right now. Beautiful romantic  sunset. "Kiss me and I'll kiss you back."  

POPE LEO XIV take us out. I love my Midwest boys. 

Amen 🙏🏻 

Okay Bye! 👋🏼
