I’ve been trying to find time all week to post but as my old Granny used to say, “If it ain’t one thing, it’s another.” And that sure is the truth! Today, the dreaded flat tire. Thankfully, it’s in the yard and I’m not stranded on the road somewhere. Anyway, it’s been quite a while since I did a What’s Eating Aunt Debbie? post so it’s about time, yes? There’s a lot on my mind these days…but now that I have some time to actually sit and write, I can’t think of everything I wanted to say! Go figure.

I’m so sick and tired of the lies and liars in politics these days. Namely, Donald J. Trump. Haitian immigrants are NOT eating cats and dogs for fuck’s sake! There are no reports, no evidence of this happening! What the hell is wrong with DJT? Aside from being the most ignorant man on the planet, and without a moral compass, I mean. Lies like this tend to cause harm to others. In this case, immigrants are being targeted by Trump supporters. When will they see what a lying sack of shit he is? Or do they know and they just don’t care because it gives them an excuse to be terrible people? And that JD Vance guy is a piece of work, isn’t he? He’s just as bad a DJT if not worse. I know no one’s perfect. ALL politicians put a spin on things. ALL politicians lie but when everything that comes out of their mouths is a flat-out lie, or misinformation/disinformation it’s just unacceptable! Let’s get back to “normal” ok? Get rid of DJT once and forever! If we elect that man as POTUS we deserve everything he dishes out. Please don’t throw away your vote. Vote BLUE.

Not too long ago, I was told that I should be able to be friends with people regardless of their political views. To a certain extent, that is correct. For example, I can be friends with someone of a different political party with different views but if they are perpetuating the misinformation and LIES, then I’m done with them. Spewing hate, racism, bigotry, and LIES tell me what kind of person they are. End of story.

What’s up with the Postal Service? I am sick to death of waiting and waiting for packages to arrive. Informed Delivery might tell me I have a package expected to arrive on a certain date but it actually arrives 3 or 4 days later. When I mail a package it takes forever for it to reach its destination. I don’t know if it’s the Postal Service here in SW MO or if it’s all over. We pay ridiculous shipping prices (that includes stamps!) so I think we should get what we pay for, don’t you? If we pay for Priority Mail (prices starting at $9.25 lb. for 2-3 business days) then we should expect delivery in 2-3 business days. I’ve shipped packages via Priority Mail (from SW MO) to my daughter in TN and had the package end up in FL and stuck there for a week! When it finally leaves FL it goes to Kansas City, MO, and sits for several days before it finally gets to my daughter. There is no excuse for this kind of service! I know shit happens sometimes, but come on! Similar things happen all the time. I just want the USPS to “shit or get off the pot,” as my old Granny used to say.

Are you a Facebook user? There’s always something going wrong or at least wonky. I check my Being Aunt Debbie page and see 2 notifications that tell me my “scheduled post has been published” but yet even after reading them, they don’t go away. One is from 2 weeks ago! I tried to delete them, clear them, and mark them as read but still, they don’t go away. Why doesn’t anything work the way it’s supposed to?

Yesterday, on the anniversary of 9/11, someone asked, “Why did the Twin Towers burn when they were made of steel?” I couldn’t believe the stupidity in that question! The Towers were not made entirely of steel. The framing was made of steel. But regardless of how much steel was used in building the Towers, there was still drywall, curtains, carpeting, flooring, furniture, paper products, and numerous other items that freakin’ BURN! Plus, you’ve got JET FUEL that exploded when it hit the buildings! Can you imagine how HOT that burned? If you fracture the structure or the foundation of any building IN THAT WAY you damn right the building will burn and come crashing down! Conspiracy Theorists, shut the fuck up already!

So, that will be the end of my rant for today. What’s eating you, my friends?
