Oh, Jeanne, you may have to "guest write" for Andy when he goes on vacation! You've inspired me to look for a genie granting me a happiness wish in a bottle of tequila (I make a mean margarita, BTW)! Cheers!!!
Yup, that sure works to help me sleep. First time with the orange turd I would get up and wander around the house at night. My PCP had the answer and wrote the Rx.
I have some, Gabapentin, that I give to one of my cats before he goes to the Vet as he is feisty! I am feisty too when I am writing postcards, letters and protesting!
I just wrote a reply to this string, but my phone disappeared it. Here’s a second try. Andy, i wish you did not use “four letter words” Surely you could find language -that doesn’t diminish people and doesn’t call to mind MAGA loving to yell in our faces. Why, Andy, do you make this choice?
Emphasis, Cornelia, emphasis. If you're not uttering 4 letter words during this evil, chaotic reign of the fat orange turd, you may actually be a saint! If you're offended, please don't read a lot of other authors on this site. They speak their readers' minds and that makes us feel like we're not suffering alone in this authoritarian regime. Even my 97 y.o. mom, who NEVER before cursed, has exclaimed an "F-U" at DT's whiny voice on TV. She derives lots of pleasure doing so---it's her way of calling out his lies and utter craziness. You do you, Cornelia, and Andy is doing Andy, like the 1st Amendment states.
Our nephew's father makes a Rye Whiskey called "Mavericks" named after the surfing spot. It is 115 proof. I mix the 4 bottles a day that I can consume with LSD, Iowaska, and any other hallucinogens to escape the new world created by the orange sac of rancid human excrement and his nazi pals. Fortunately, this doesn't interfere with my duties as an air traffic controller.
Yay, Paul Eric! You made me laugh almost as hard as I do with the Master!! (AB) The last line is perfect!! Do you do stand up? Oh never mind - just keep writing! I love your vocabulary. orange. sac. excrement. nazi pals
We have finally reached the point where it’s fair to say that NOTHING the government says is believable any more. Unless you believe in the Tooth Fairy of course.
Oh Michael, the Tooth Fairy is way closer to the Truth than the prezzidunce, that I am going to increase my belief in her (Tooth Fairy) In fact I nominate her for Surgeon General!
That would be awesome. I was swearing at the person who put cyanide(?) in Tylenol bottles back in the '80s while trying to peel the safety seal off a bottle of yes, chocolate syrup.
Don't neglect to read Anne Curzan's "Says Who?", which will calm your inner grammando and encourage your inner wordie.
And you will laugh out loud many times. As a former grammar policewoman and LA teacher, I promise you it's worth the read! Especially during those long sleepless nights when you need entertaining distraction.
TBR Question of the Day: What has Trump made you consume more of?
Dark chocolate
Yup, me too, trying not to choke as I also scream obscenities at the sight of him on TV.
OMG SO MUCH CHOCOLATE!!!
yes, the traditional remedy to recover from exposure to a Dementor ...
Oh. Very well noted!!!! 👏🏻📚👏🏻📚👏🏻
My reasoning, exactly!
Same for me, Elmdea. It is very soothing, which is desperately needed right now.
I’m eating a lot of dark chocolate too, Elmdea, but the Republicans have been drinking a lot of Kool-Aid.
No Jeff they've not been drinking Kool-Aid...........we are wishing they would.
Yes, dark chocolate. The darker the better. So soothing. A must-have during these chaotic times.
Green & Black’s 85%
If you're into chocolate, I totally recommend 85 per cent Lindt "intense dark." Not too sweet and no bitter aftertaste.
Alcohol. I have yet to find happiness or a genie at the bottom of a wine bottle, but there’s no reason to stop looking.
Alcohol too, but that message in the bottle must be stolen by Whiskey Pete!
The genie bottle should be gold, just not Trump fools-gold!

🤣😂 Love this ha ha
gummies
I second that!
Yup…
TBR. Brings instant relief.
That an a swig of Pepsi--no rum!
That and a swig of Pepsi--no rum!
Substack posts
Books. To keep my mind occupied with thoughts other than current events.
Books plus binge watching fun shows.
Fantasy novels with happy endings … because real life is just too bleak.
I would hit the heart on this multiple times if I could,
Blues music, especially blues guitar. Happy 100th anniversary of B.B. King's birthday!
Satirical columns.
Alcohol…! (esp the hard stuff)
Wheee. 👍😂
Chocolate, ice cream, beer, and wine!
All at once?
I’ll try and pace myself 😉
Oxygen. Defo.
Gabapentin
Yup, that sure works to help me sleep. First time with the orange turd I would get up and wander around the house at night. My PCP had the answer and wrote the Rx.

Sugar free dark chocolate chips. Don't ask me how much weight I gained this week.
Transmit the weight telepathically onto Trump!
Ooh, I like the way you think, John. Now if only I could gain those skills…
I Don’t think he needs Susan’s help haha
Semi-sweet chips and just starting on dark chocolate nonpareils.
Don't ask, don't tell!
News and practically every edible thing at Costco (especially from the bakery).
Alcohol
I never mix alcohol and Tylenol so I just stick to alcohol.
Ditto.
Same here. Aspirin works just fine for me.

Thanks for a grin at the end of this seemingly endless bad news day…except for Jimmy Kimmel’s return🎉
Like Lazarus! Disney is man not mouse?
No. Disney, I think, ran up against the reality of a consumer revolt!
This. I think they were blindsided by the reaction.

But you stay hydrated while on duty, right?
Heaven forbid we have a desiccated body in the Control Tower!
Love it!
Yay, Paul Eric! You made me laugh almost as hard as I do with the Master!! (AB) The last line is perfect!! Do you do stand up? Oh never mind - just keep writing! I love your vocabulary. orange. sac. excrement. nazi pals
I live in Iowa: where can I get some Iowaska?
A-ah! I'm frightened now!
Ahahahahhahahahaha!!!
I took 2 Tylenol today just to stick it to the man.
Are you pregnant, Bob?
😝😝😝
We have finally reached the point where it’s fair to say that NOTHING the government says is believable any more. Unless you believe in the Tooth Fairy of course.
I heard RFKjr is giving the Tooth Fairy a position in his cabinet.
I think that the Tooth Fairy would never accept such an appointment.
--and she will be the most qualified person in that department!
makes sense. With no fluoride in the water, the Tooth Fairy is going to get much busier...
LOL! 🤣
Oh Michael, the Tooth Fairy is way closer to the Truth than the prezzidunce, that I am going to increase my belief in her (Tooth Fairy) In fact I nominate her for Surgeon General!
--and I know she'll deposit a check of several million dollars under my pillow tonight, right?
If you have a bag to stuff it into
I was thinking he may of had a dispute with the company that produces Tylenol. It obviously doesn’t work on dementia.
I am waiting for the huge civil suit.
That would be awesome. I was swearing at the person who put cyanide(?) in Tylenol bottles back in the '80s while trying to peel the safety seal off a bottle of yes, chocolate syrup.
Yes, people have forgotten that guy, but he is responsible for all those goddam safety seals and push-down-while-pulling-up caps.
I'm waiting for Trump to pop out of his suit!
I'm waiting for his head to pop off of his neck when the blood pressure gets any higher.
Just a grammar comment. You are virtually alone in using “media” correctly as a plural noun. Thanks, Andy
You noticed!!!
Next: data.
Ooooh, tough one.
Don't neglect to read Anne Curzan's "Says Who?", which will calm your inner grammando and encourage your inner wordie.
And you will laugh out loud many times. As a former grammar policewoman and LA teacher, I promise you it's worth the read! Especially during those long sleepless nights when you need entertaining distraction.
I didn't think there was such a thing as a "former" grammer policewoman....
While I have toned down my former knee jerk reactions, I haven't fully retired ...😅
And Lynne Truss's classic Eats, Shoots and Leaves.
-which we wish Trump would do after visiting the golden toilet!
Me too! But I taught English.
English teachers always made me taut.
No he isn't and that goes for data as well. Old English teacher here.
Why does Trump hate comedians? Because he is weak: a weak, whining pussy.
HEY, don’t insult all the other – lesser – pussies out there!
Trump has made me consume way too much anxiety and disgust. In short, he has messed with my happiness. Just go away, Donald.
Yay, Kimmel’s back! 👏🥳. Now we know that boycotting CAN work, even these days! Money (loss of it) speaks to corporations/billionaires. Let’s do more!!
I’ll wait and see what happens tomorrow before signing up for Hulu again.
Wise
Right on Wis, Money & movie stars & I guess some influencers too, what ever the hell that is.
(I know, right?? What a weird job title, "influencer".)
Must bring in the big buck-a-roonies!
What boycotting can get Stephen back?
Just the subject line, first laugh of the day. Thank you
Bravo from Canada 🇨🇦
Looks like the Tylenol company had better increase its contributions to Trump.
Or sue for billions of dollars!
I like that better! That would cure many headaches!
I find my consumption of red wine and dark chocolate has skyrocketed!
Note the Past Tense in "TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING".
Too bad he’s not in the past, tenseor relaxed….
