It’s been almost 6 years since I left Home Depot. Since I walked out of the store I’ve had nothing to do with them, aside from my taxes at the end of that year. And of course friends who still work there (there are certain bridges you don’t burn even if you do get fired). It’s not a bad place to shop at for home improvement, but still some triggers are best avoided….
So fast forward to today, when I get an ‘invitation’ to apply for a Home Depot card. Hard Pass….
I think I’ve just placed my last Newegg order today. Their customer was always good, and they’ve seen to it that idiot UPS driver were properly ripped new ones in the past when things went wrong. But when I go to order a new charger for my phone, and I get greeted with 4 pop-up ads in a row for Rakuten related services, then I need to reevaluate whether or not I really need to shop there anymore.
Sorry, Newegg, it’s not me. It’s you…
I’m not going to endorse any candidate for President, yet (it is far too early). I will say that when I vote in 2024, it will be for the most qualified candidate. Mike Pence has thrown his hat into the ring, and declared his candidacy. I’m not going to endorse him, and I’m probably not going to vote for him. But I will say that he is the most qualified Republican so far. Cheetos-Face’s campaign will probably end with him locked up and facing multiple felonies. Ron DeSanctimonious is too far to the right, and some of his actions with migrants are bordering on human trafficking. And he’s also yet to learn that you don’t fuck with The Mouse. But Pence, let’s remember that on January 6, he was presiding over the certification of the Electoral College, and he shut down attempts to introduce “alternative electors” (no wonder why they wanted to hang him in the ensuing riots).
No, I won’t be voting for Mike Pence. Yet. But he is the most qualified Republican….
7 years ago today, I went to Mother’s apartment…. A subsequent call to 911, and the responding fire personnel immediately called out the chaplain…
But enough about the circumstances about Mom’s passing. Let’s shake up a 2 litre of Safeway Strawberry Soda, chug a plate of deviled eggs, and walk up and down every aisle in the local Walgreens. And pour one out for Mom.
May Barbara Bryant continue frolicking in the Beer Volcano and Stripper Factory…
