people, a dead mum is not a christmas decoration.

Seriously a dead chrysanthemum (mum) is just a dead mum. Would you spray paint a dead squirrel ? Probably not, right? So if you can’t keep a chrysanthemum (mum) alive and transplant it into your garden for next year, why can’t you give it a dignified exit?

I’ve been seeing this disturbing barf worthy loving hands at home craft idea since like 2018 or 2019 and I can’t believe it’s still around. It’s still ugly and it still looks like a spray paint it dead plant with some Christmas ornaments stuck in it.

People have videos on YouTube and TikTok about this. How on earth do they think that’s crafting or normal looking or festive? It looks like Morticia Adams got bored with cutting the heads off of flowers.

I’m sorry is it just me or am I being mean? There are those who like to say I am a mean blogger as some of tell me that all the time all of you lovely people out there but I might have a grinch about Christmas? I don’t think so because I actually love Christmas and I don’t see a dead mum as a Christmas decoration.

Take this TikTok from Horine Homestead:

Or this one from Lora Bo

Actually, there are tons of videos on TikTok and elsewhere about this which is just like blows my mind.

If you want to add pizazz to your front porch or front walk and more, try real greens or even something artificial and even weather resistant Christmas greenery.

I guess my point is there are so many things that you can do with so little to create Christmas magic out front of your house or even in different parts of the inside of your house and it doesn’t mean you have to spray paint dead plants.

Honestly, it looks as bad as it sounds.

And the dead spray painted ferns are even worse.

Rant over.

really west goshen residents, she loves you…

West Goshen Stupidvisor Ashley Gagme has a syndrome known as Meeting Tourette’s. But it seems like she just does verbal cartwheels in their boardroom. Too often.

Honey, we know you have political aspirations…I mean look 👀 at you never missing a photo op with Josh Shapiro, right? (Although that could also be a thing about older men maybe? ) But you kind of have to curb your enthusiasm at meetings and remember that the boardroom is full of adults, not children to be chided, right? Unless you want to be your own HBO show or something? Think of it as The Office meets Curb Your Enthusiasm….sorry I am getting ahead of myself, but oh the imagination could just run wild with all the other squirrelly behavior in West Goshen, right?

And yes, my dear, I am allowed my opinions. Be the Queen of the Word Salad if you must, just try to rein it in a little ok? I mean girl, come on now, you don’t want to have the reputation of behaving like the Democrat version of Marjorie Taylor Greene, right?

Kiss 💋 kiss 💋 and happy Friday.

these are not my people and the gop of my childhood is dead. vote to stop the dramala.

These are not my people

That is just cult-like ugliness above. I can’t get past that. I remember when I was proud to be a Republican. I do. I was even an RNC 2000 Media Relations Volunteer. I lent a U.S. Congressman who was a platform speaker cab fare because no one else recognized him. I met Colin Powell, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his then wife Maria Shriver. I felt like I was part of something that mattered.

These are not my people.

Then slowly it started to change. More and more I split my ticket when voting. The last GOP Congressperson I believed in was Jim Gerlach. Mostly because you knew he actually cared about his constituents, and proved that helping us fight eminent domain in Ardmore. Through him we met other Republican Congressmen like Jim Sensenbrenner and John Boehner. And I actually liked both of them.

But these Republicans? They are part of the political party that no longer exists. They are Trumpublicans, bought and paid for and influenced by a person who has spent his whole life gaming the system.

What has survived and what this political party has morphed into is ugly and violent and full of hate fueled rhetoric that is more cult than political. I just can’t do that.

I saw the changes coming and 2016 was when I said no and walked away. The GOP chose a man who has as his greatest accomplishment turning this country into a version of his ugly soul. That was my moment when I realized I was no longer a Republican as that party wished to define it vis-à-vis him as a candidate.

The simple truth is Donald Trump has never ever changed who he truly is. I remember when he was in the Academy Ball Book for the Academy Ball benefitting the Academy of Music. I remember thinking then now decades ago how sleazy he looked, and why didn’t the people posing in the photos with him for this great non-profit see it? I will note some of these people still support him, and I still don’t understand why now any more than I understood why then why they thought he was wonderful.

It’s simple: he’s the ultimate charlatan. He’s the Jim Jones of this era, and much like Jonestown of 1978, Trump’s followers today have drunk the Kool Aid, only as opposed to 1978 it’s not spiked with poison it’s proverbial.

I don’t know why it’s so easy for people to fall in love with him. I think they’re looking for things that are lacking in their own lives if you want to know, my honest opinion. because if you have a rational mind, he doesn’t make sense. And that’s why you are seeing all the Republicans that all these Trumpublicans used to worship being maligned because they have stood up and said enough this isn’t the party of Lincoln. This is NOT our guy and this isn’t a person for this country and it’s time to vote country over party.

And these believers? A lot of them are the ones who make everything more unpleasant even in our every day lives when they try to politicize everything. It’s like he gave the schoolyard bullies we grew up with a voice. They even bully their own co-believers. You can’t be part of the popular lunch tables unless you do exactly as they tell you.

And now there’s all this last minute campaign rhetoric coming right from the proverbial horse’s mouth, like that if Trumpublican men’s wives vote for Kamala Harris, it’s like cheating on their husbands. I mean seriously? What kind of bullshit is that? The ones that are on the fence? No one can see who you are voting for. You can vote however you choose you do not have to tell a soul. It’s your constitutional right, and as I told a Republican I know last week, the thing I wanted them to think about was the fact that they had daughters. And if they wanted their daughters to be absolutely guaranteed to have their rights preserved even to be pro-choice, then Trump wasn’t their guy. I said they weren’t just voting their preference. They were also voting the futures and rights of their children who could not vote.

I have to wonder since Trump wants to take care of all the women whether they want it or not if he had his druthers, would he repeal a woman’s right to vote just like he got rid of a woman’s right to choose?

I don’t expect my words to sway anyone. I am only expressing how I feel which is my right. do I have children of my own? No, I was never able to have them, but I am voting for the future that I want my stepson to have and my niece and my nephew and my friends and other family members kids and their kids after them.

Every day if you turn on the TV or you turn on social media or you pick up a newspaper all you see, are these rallies of ugliness. A chant of fight fight fight. Fists in the air that is reminiscent of Nazi Germany or any communist takeover even if the hand/wrist action is not exactly similar. It’s a feeling.

If you want to have your vote count, you can’t just vote necessarily the way your political party expects you to. You have to look at the bigger picture where it is literally country over any party.

Again, I can’t tell any of you how to vote, only encourage you to understand that we can indeed handle a female President. She represents among other things what I believe our forefathers wanted: the changing face of a country founded by immigrants.

Vote for our forefathers. Vote for the women who came before us. Vote for Abigail Adams. Vote for Dolly Madison. Vote for Sarah Bass Allen. Vote for Carrie Chapman Catt. Vote for Matilda Joslyn Gage. Vote for Susan B. Anthony. Vote for the Mercer girls. Vote for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Vote for any of the women whom you know or are related to. Vote in memory of those women you knew who are no longer with us.

I hope you choose Kamala Harris, just because it is the right thing to do. The GOP, the party of Lincoln is dead. Voting like mom and dad might of won’t mean anything because the GOP they believed in, again, is dead. If you had asked a much younger me would I vote Democrat let alone become one, I would have simply said “no way”, yet here we are.

Being a true “patriot” doesn’t mean walking lock step for a petty dictator waiting for his next opportunity while waving false flags. Being a real patriot means doing potentially a personally difficult choice, but as an American you know in your core, that you need to vote for a woman who will preserve the US Constitution, not obliterate it for personal gain.

Taken just a little while ago. All for corners of Sugartown & Lancaster in Tredyffrin. They are blocking pedestrians with flags and signs from feeling like they can cross the street safely. That is intimidation. These are not my people and this is the patch of ChesCo GOP chair Raffi Terzian. Is this acceptable to him? Public safely and free flow of people comes first!

Again, your vote is your choice. Just please remember all of those who fought, bled, and died to make this country truly free. Those are the true patriots. They wouldn’t want a man who is a threat to what they accomplished for all of us to get a second bite at the apple.

I am not any more of a biddable Democrat than I was a biddable Republican. I look at the candidates beyond mere political persuasion. That makes me inconvenient to any political party and I don’t really care.

I hope everyone votes as an American on Tuesday. I hope everyone votes for their country over party.

That’s all.

bah humbug if you can’t do a little holiday decorating.

I am going to be a total bah humbug here. I feel like now we have a Instacart for holiday decorating. And I love Instacart but it’s for groceries and maybe Home Depot and Lowe’s when you don’t want to get your car all dirty.

But it’s like no one wants to do anything any longer that used to bring us all so much joy. And I don’t think people are necessarily busier today then they might’ve been 10 years ago or so.

I don’t know maybe I am some kind of an old fart at this point, but I have always loved doing my pumpkins and decorating for Christmas. And that’s been since I was a kid.

When I was a little girl, I helped my parents decorate. I had the most wonderful memories of going on then snowy nights with my father to pick out a Christmas tree. Thanks to climate change we don’t get many snowy nights anymore, but I digress.

As I grew up and got out on my own, no matter how busy I was, I found the me time to decorate for holidays. And I had total joy in going to things like the Saint Davids Fair in the fall, looking for new decorations and haunting thrift shops for cool vintage things.

I figured out long ago it wasn’t so hard to make a wreath. And that was whether I was making one out of ornaments or live greens or fake greens.

I am not Martha Stewart. Nor am I particularly crafty. I can cook, I can garden, but I am not a craft diva. That’s something entirely different, and you don’t have to be a craft diva or a decorator to do your house up for the holidays!

So we learned in October that there are professional pumpkin pimpers. Because God forbid, you pick out a pumpkin and put it on your porch or your front step yourself. Better yet you need to spend hundreds of unnecessary dollars to have someone look like it vomited pumpkins on your porch or front walk.

But the holidays/Christmas? How can you want someone to make you look like you live in Stepfordville? And Christmas is not for a beige beige world.

Now I do understand when people want someone to put lights in a really, really tall tree. Most people don’t have a bucket truck lying around.

I also understand when people are having a party somewhere and they need the help of a florist or a stager to get it together. Especially if you are renting a space which doesn’t necessarily come with furniture and things to give you your look.

I understand people that when they have Christmas parties or even Thanksgiving dinner, gatherings that they go to a local florist for table arrangements. But the rest of it? It’s not hard nor difficult.

If you are unsure what to do with greens outside your house, you can buy lovely preconceived packages from BloomBox. Literally with them, you can buy DIY container kits and you’re out per kit under 100 bucks before tax.

But this new service? It’s like you’re paying for a middle person to deliver Balsam Hill. Only to be honest, I think Balsam Hill artificial greens are better looking than what I saw on that website.

Greens and stems in an old tin watering can, cut from the garden. Simple, happy and festive…and not hundreds of dollars

And just FYI for information sake, these foyer fluffernutters offer packages that start at $475.00 but that doesn’t include service packages. Those start at $380.00. The higher end of their spectrum? $1150.00 before service, service packages add $750.00 and none of these service figures includes true customization. No ribbons, no ornaments. In other words, you look pretty bland like everyone else.

Do you really want your holiday decorations to look like everyone else on the block?

If you do, then this post is not for you. If you don’t, I’m telling you I think the prices are ridiculous and you’re paying for the Emperor’s new clothes and they’re not very attractive.

Spindle tree from BloomBox. Decorations by me.

Look, I understand the time is at a premium for some people, but when you just order the holidays without benefit of participating in the decorating, you’re missing out.

And if money is no option and you want to look like it’s a Stepford wife Christmas then hire somebody with the samey same packages.

But I think the better plan is to enjoy the reasons for the season which includes being creative and even encouraging your kids to get creatively festive. Try it, it will bring you joy.

I love Christmas. I love decorating for the holidays. I realize not everybody does, but from a practical standpoint it’s easy to do yourself, and you can save a lot of money, and not look like everyone else.

Don’t be bah humbug. Remember the little kid joys of paper chains and cut out snowflakes.

But please don’t start playing Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.

Thanks for stopping by.

oh neil, nice try, and the last word? all mine, bless your heart.

Apparently I got into his head. And he’s welcome. After all, he’s a pleasant looking human and now he has better haircut styling than before:

However, you did not learn the lesson of politicians are judged by the company you keep:

So a little while ago I was on WCHE with my friend Barry. And yes we are friends who can disagree and walk away friends. One area where we disagree is him having Neil Young on a second time (as in the guy running for Congress.)

Once again, he followed in my wake, assuming he has the last word and in a sense today, trying to ride on my coattails. It was amusing. I am so far in his head he couldn’t keep my name out of his mouth.…only I am not running for office and have no desire to. And yes I have been asked over the years…by both sides.

This is pretty amusing to me. But again, at least he learned he needed a better haircut. Maybe it’s a female thing. We notice haircuts. Apparently our friend Neil might be a little insecure having had to follow moi not once but twice on the same radio show? Sorry not sorry.

But that isn’t the funniest thing. He says how he reads my blog etc. etc. yet his campaign Facebook page block’s my blog’s Facebook page? I don’t block the page, I checked. That didn’t work so well for Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale once upon a time and others Not merely referring to my blog, but all of the people who have disagreed with politicians when there is case law about it.

Whatever. It’s not the first time it has happened, and I honestly do not care, it’s just amusing. It’s also amusing when you know you have been blocked and say it and then you are all of a sudden not blocked at some point. It’s just social media.

Just like it’s social media and election season when candidates for political parties that do not actually believe in affordable housing, imply they are.

And although a candidate should actually truly as in daily LIVE the area they are running in, someone who moved into an area for college and stayed, or moved here to raise a family, or moved here because of a job but stayed are not any less important than someone who was born in a particular area. Neil it’s about the actual living here part, not when you arrived or like the fake living here as is the case with Dave McCormick, Rick Santorum, and Dr. Oz for but 3 examples.

And Neil your district extends well beyond the boundaries of Downingtown and Coatesville High Schools.

As an example of moving here, there is former Congressman Jim Gerlach was born in Ellwood City, PA which is not too far from West Virginia and Ohio borders yet he was an amazing Congressman to the 6th district. He came into the district originally to take a job in Chester County. Also important? He served in the state house and the state senate before running for congress. He didn’t just wake up and decide to run for congress. He had huge bi-partisan support when he ran for congress. He had that in his constituency all of the way through. You sure don’t.

But Neil sweetie, you will have to get up a lot earlier to get the last word on me. Sign me still not buying what you’re selling.

Kiss kiss.

That silly man thinks he gets the last word with me? LOL

radnor township want to exercise eminent domain for private gain over wayne presbyterian church. that’s bollocks.

Heavy handed leverage. That’s what a retired real estate lawyer said.

And Radnor Township is trying to wield the ultimate thug tool against with Wayne Presbyterian Church, eminent domain. And given this is for the Wayne Business District, this in my humble opinion, this makes it eminent domain for private gain. That’s bollocks.

Can we talk about how combative and rude Commissioner Jack Larkin is? I guess his life experience over the past couple of years has not taught him to be kind or humble. He should discover both qualities, after all pride goeth before a fall, Commissioner Jack Larkin. Try being pleasant and not a bully.

If Radnor Township was acting in good faith, they would not have enacted an eminent domain ordinance, and it is pretty much that god damn simple. And they are doing this against a church.

I have not had such distrust of Radnor Township since Dave Bashore was the manager and that is saying something. Radnor needs to clean house again from commissioners to manager. There are few things that upset me more than eminent domain. I know the realities of it. First hand. We saw it in Ardmore. We saw it Coatesville. We saw it in Long Branch, NJ. We saw it in New London, CT. Just ask the Institute for Justice.

You know what is worse then eminent domain for private gain? Eminent domain for public purpose that really has private gain driving it. And THAT is what Radnor is attempting which is why I categorize as really being about private gain. And in Radnor’s meeting last week, the Wayne Business Association said they support the actions of Radnor Township.

I can tell you as long as an eminent domain ordinance lurks against a church in Wayne, no one I know will be going to Wayne to even buy a cup of coffee.

A relatively newer resident spoke up, after hearing this. Not sure why he was at the meeting, but hooray for common sense:

And then there was Commissioner Jack Larkin’s grandfather I guess it is. Even HE said eminent domain was wrong. So Larkin listens to no one except himself on this it seems, so will grandpa’s thoughts matter?

This is another bad plan from Radnor Township. They seem to be making these bad plans more and more consistently.

Radnor residents and supporters of Wayne Presbyterian Church and haters of eminent domain? The clock is ticking. get those card and letters and emails and calls going and attend the meetings. This is wrong, and what is not wrong after all these decades is the church wanting to see more revenue.

Here is Radnor’s staff directory: https://www.radnor.com/government/staff-directory

And oh by the way? This meeting also had some updates about the Willows? Radnor Township should take the neighbors’ noise concerns seriously and so should the caterer in residence. I don’t think much of them anyway. I won tickets to a pop up dinner with them once, and they never honored it. I won it during COVID, end of 2019, early 2020 and it ultimately got postponed and then they essentially ghosted me. Actually I think the Willows is a hopeless mess and that is a subject for another day and it is so sad. And what about the cottage? No one ever wants to talk about that debacle and waste of a one time restoration.

Back to Radnor Township being a municipal bully. Here is the SAVVY or it all plus an article from Main Line Times. Read both and remember: eminent domain is a thug tactic, not a form of negotiation. No more Wayne for me until this is settled. Eminent domain has no gain.

A separation of Church and State in Wayne? Radnor Township makes moves to seize Wayne Presbyterian Church property. But talks have resumed.

October 21, 2024 / By Caroline O’Halloran /

Radnor Township has taken the first step toward seizing by eminent domain the parking area it leases from Wayne Presbyterian Church (WPC), a sizable section of the large Station Ave. municipal lot.

Radnor Commissioners voted 4 to 1 at their Oct. 14 meeting to move forward with an ordinance (below) that would authorize the township to file a “declaration of taking” in the Delco Court of Common Pleas in November.

gosh it’s mindboggling to be so popular with joyful miserable “warrior” women….

It’s Friday so time for yet another jihad on your faithful blogger here.

Gosh, the Twatwaffles for Trump defense is out! (Guess they didn’t like the last post mocking them?) But please remember they are perfect ladies sipping tea and spreading it, so we’ll get to other thoughts in a minute. Suffice it to say it is genuinely a marvel to live in their heads so constantly. I mean WHY? Are their lives so little that they can dish it out @everyone @everyday and seem surprised when anyone questions their ridiculousness? Long live the legends in their own minds middle school lunch table, I suppose.

The whole post: @everyone Meet the “Twatwaffles For Trump”…no apologies will be forthcoming. While I was taken aback by the lack of authenticity, unlady-like language, and obvious cultural appropriation and disrespect in the use of the word “Twatwaffle”…it comes as no surprise that the most “popular”, and by popular I mean at least 3 “likes” on her posts, our favorite rambler in ChesCo it at it once again. Per usual, she is publicly espousing her unwavering hate against other women like a school girl’s diary. Imagine being that woman standing in a beautiful garden filled with diverse plants and flowers. Instead of appreciating the beauty and variety, she focuses on a few plants she dislikes, proclaiming that those should be removed for the sake of the garden. Her actions might initially seem to come from a place of personal preference, but in reality, they harm the entire ecosystem. The removal of certain plants can disrupt the balance, ultimately affecting the growth and survival of other species in the garden. Not realizing her hate, negative energy, and intolerance damages the entire community’s overall harmony and vitality. Just as a garden thrives on its diversity, so too does a society flourish when it embraces and celebrates its differences. This is EXACTLY what is wrong with the keyboard warriors who lead the cancel culture hate filled movement. The hypocrisy of the Queen of “Hate Has No Home Here” and “Be Kind” mantras outshines her obvious lack of substance in the latest attack against Moms for Liberty members, namely Yours Truly, and anyone who supports the Republican party. Yes, we know, it is election season so we have come to expect that the vitriol from the “hate has no home here” crowd will be at its peak against those with opposing views. I was delighted to be referred to as a “Blondie” and “Barbie” as we Barbie types appreciate natural beauty, including our luscious, golden locks, and we also appreciate that Barbie can do anything she sets her mind to. Most of my Barbie friends, especially the Blondies, just happen to be intelligent, successful, beautiful, self-confident, happy, loving, and caring promoters of LIBERTY! LIBERTY in simple terms is FREEDOM AND MORALITY. Us Blondie Barbies who promote LIBERTY seekbeing free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views. LIBERTY encompasses Personal, Political, and Social FREEDOM. The right to make choices about one’s own life, including beliefs, lifestyle, and expression, without undue interference. The ability to participate in the political process, including voting, running for office, and expressing political opinions. The ability to interact and associate with others, as well as to form relationships and communities without discrimination or coercion. Those who oppose LIBERTY and LIBERTY promoters are fundamentally against the core principles of this great Nation. Those who hate LIBERTY promoters are simply against FREEDOM AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. Those who hate LIBERTY promoters are constantly pushing socialist and communist ideas and lack the ability to be happy, productive members of a society that respects individuality and FREEDOM. Some People Are Just Destined To Be AWESOME…no apologies will be forthcoming. So WHO Are The “Twatwaffles For Trump”? We are moms, active community members, teachers, coaches, business women, advocates for children but obviously we were the despised popular, pretty girls in school. Everyone knew us terrible Blondie Barbie types in high school. Prior to my brain fully developing and becoming a full-fledged adult I was crowned Miss Pre-Teen Pennsylvania, 1993 Homecoming Queen, Voted “Prettiest”, “Most Athletic” and “Most Versatile”, carried a 5.2 GPA, was the #1 high school track recruit in the Nation and earned a FULL scholarship…not by watching mindless TV shows like the Stepford Wives, honestly I have no idea what the reference even means, or pumping myself up with Ozempic to look good…it meant a daily high school schedule – up at 5:30am to train, 7:30am-2:15pm school, 2:30-4:30pm practice, 5-9pm work at pizza shop, 10pm-midnight study, and studying most of the weekends. As a fully formed adult, this “Twatwaffle For Trump” happens to own a HOT PINK racing bike, aptly named “The Barbie Dream Machine” and I sure did crank that baby to 4 TOP 10 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINISHES…oh but the fun does NOT stop there! As fully formed adults, stacks of “Twatwaffles For Trump” STOOD UP FOR OUR CHILDREN AGAINST GOVERNMENT TYRANNY! At our core, we “Twatwaffles For Trump” focus on creating strong foundations for our children and families by providing unconditional love and support. “Twatwaffles For Trump” are resilient, fierce advocates for our children and community-focused leaders. We are JOYFUL WARRIORS and powerful role models for our children and communities. While we are continuously name-called, many childish things such as “Twatwaffles For Trump” and “Stepford Wives”, stood up to absurdity of face diapers while ensuring our children weren’t harmed by asinine politicians attempting to impose reckless mandates onto the People, especially our children. While some still believe wearing a face diaper while sucking in 32,000 PPM of carbon dioxide and hiding from people and air inside their homes makes them healthy…what can I say…just another example of “Democratic” ideas that is Darwinism on FULL DISPLAY! Queen “Twatwaffles For Trump”…no apologies will be forthcoming. If I could be invited to a hair braiding sleepover party with “Twatwaffles For Trump” it would definitely be amazing if Melania and Lara Trump were the hosts. We could share stories and braid each other’s hair, maybe they bring their stylist to do it but who cares those ladies are STUNNING and hair is always ON point! Nice hair is an absolute requirement for any “Twatwaffle For Trump” and extra bonus points if you are a BLONDIE! It’s been a pretty well-established fact that blondes do have more fun! Life Tips for HATERS of “Twatwaffles For Trump”…no apologies will be forthcoming. Practice Mindfulness Techniques such as; Breath Awareness, Daily Exercise, Loving-Kindness Meditation, Gratitude Blogging (blog about things you are grateful for, shift your focus from hate to appreciation), Eat Clean, and Drink Mostly Water. Practice Joyful Warrior Techniques such as; Resilience, Perseverance, Fierce Advocacy For Your Children, Empathy, Strength, Resourcefulness, Leadership, Community-focused, and Be Loving and Nurturing. Embrace A Growth Mindset such as; Embracing Challenges, Positive Self-Talk, Adaptability, Acquire New Skills, and Step Out of Comfort Zone. I recommend experimenting with various techniques and finding what works best for you. These characteristics foster the ability to develop and grow as a kind, positive human, leading to greater achievement and fulfillment in various aspects of life. While we know it’s not easy comparing yourself or even becoming a “Twatwaffles For Trump” you too can work to not only MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN but MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN! *This post is not paid for or endorsed by any political candidate #MAGA #TRUMP2024ToSaveAmerica #Trump2024 https://chestercountyramblings.com

I have all of the screenshots because as always their groups are one leaky boat after the other. Sharing the unaltered verbiage makes it easier.

First of all (again), whom exactly is it who needs writing lessons?

While I was taken aback by the lack of authenticity, unlady-like language, and obvious cultural appropriation and disrespect in the use of the word “Twatwaffle”…it comes as no surprise that the most “popular”, and by popular I mean at least 3 “likes” on her posts, our favorite rambler in ChesCo it at it once again. Per usual, she is publicly espousing her unwavering hate against other women like a school girl’s diary.

I am shocked she is taken aback. After all this author is one of the wunderkind (not really it just amused me as a description) who literally was on video how many times inside and outside Downingtown Area School District during COVID acting like a horse’s ass?

They don’t like it that people follow my blog. I don’t pay attention to stats much except when someone like her has to talk about it like they are an authority, but that has never been WHY I write. My raison d’être has never been to be an influencer, prom queen, cheerleader, or sit at their absurd proverbial middle school lunch table. I write because I want to, I write because I can, I write because I have something to say, and that is part of my inalienable rights as an American.

I loathe absurd, ridiculous, limited, and obnoxious women. The Twatwaffles for Trump are not joyful except when they feel they have an upper hand in their unending quest to make anyone not Stepford-matching-thinking-like-them feel bad. These broads (would they prefer that description?) dislike anyone who they can’t control or understand and above all else don’t give a good god damn what they think of them. They are all about control, and it’s ironic that as purported independent and powerful women they are literally subservient to a malignant narcissist like Trump. I have always wondered why they don’t wear “He grabbed me by the pussy” T-shirts?

The hypocrisy of the Queen of “Hate Has No Home Here” and “Be Kind” mantras outshines her obvious lack of substance in the latest attack against Moms for Liberty members, namely Yours Truly, and anyone who supports the Republican party.

Someone like this author would never be invited to my home or garden. If they have been skulking about, that is trespassing. What I write about is up to me, not her/them, therefore it is my personal preference. If this verbal diarrhea social media post author doesn’t like what I write, why is she sooo fixated? It’s a big world, and an even bigger internet, why so obsessed with me? You know how Kamala says time to turn the page? This chick is like an old fashioned album with a needle stuck in a groove so all it does is skip and repeat in one spot. I can’t help her with her fixations. But hey calling ridiculous jihads on me gives her a way to fill her empty life, in spite of her having to verbally vomit how wonderful and talented she is.

The irony that the author of the Ultimate Neurotics Guide to Wearing Gas Masks in Public can prattle about seeing diversity in society, when she in fact belong to a cult that is anything BUT embracing and welcoming of anyone not in their Stepford-like image.

And obvious lack of substance? Projecting again much? I guess the difference is I don’t have to toot my own horn, and they all do. And clarity moment: I don’t actually hate these ridiculous women, I hate what they stand for and what they do to others. She’s not that important except to herself, which I guess also makes her a narcissist?

Can we talk about the irony of someone who literally defends Donald Trump talking about understanding Hate Has No Home Here? Homophobic, Transphobic, Drag Queen phobic, anything different phobic and she probably has one of those tacky assed “Be Kind” cheap pillows or wood plaques somewhere.

These women are not actually Republicans, nor are they true conservatives. They are more like living spam meets a virus. The real Republican party, the party of Lincoln, no longer exists. That is the long and short of it.

As a fully formed adult, this “Twatwaffle For Trump” happens to own a HOT PINK racing bike, aptly named “The Barbie Dream Machine” and I sure did crank that baby to 4 TOP 10 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINISHES…oh but the fun does NOT stop there! As fully formed adults, stacks of “Twatwaffles For Trump” STOOD UP FOR OUR CHILDREN AGAINST GOVERNMENT TYRANNY! At our core, we “Twatwaffles For Trump” focus on creating strong foundations for our children and families by providing unconditional love and support. “Twatwaffles For Trump” are resilient, fierce advocates for our children and community-focused leaders. We are JOYFUL WARRIORS and powerful role models for our children and communities. While we are continuously name-called, many childish things such as “Twatwaffles For Trump” and “Stepford Wives”, stood up to absurdity of face diapers while ensuring our children weren’t harmed by asinine politicians attempting to impose reckless mandates onto the People, especially our children. While some still believe wearing a face diaper while sucking in 32,000 PPM of carbon dioxide and hiding from people and air inside their homes makes them healthy…what can I say…just another example of “Democratic” ideas that is Darwinism on FULL DISPLAY! Queen “Twatwaffles For Trump”…no apologies will be forthcoming. If I could be invited to a hair braiding sleepover party with “Twatwaffles For Trump” it would definitely be amazing if Melania and Lara Trump were the hosts. We could share stories and braid each other’s hair, maybe they bring their stylist to do it but who cares those ladies are STUNNING and hair is always ON point! Nice hair is an absolute requirement for any “Twatwaffle For Trump” and extra bonus points if you are a BLONDIE! It’s been a pretty well-established fact that blondes do have more fun!

Ok that above? Where does one start? Insecure much? That’s great if she raced a pink bike, but why would I care? Was she in the Olympics? And stood up to the government? No babe, you cost taxpayers and school district countless piles of money with your bullshit during COVID. Face masks during a global pandemic were not “face diapers” they were a small thing to do and only people like yourselves were bothered. No one liked wearing masks, no one liked staying home, but as someone who lives immunocompromised with elderly relatives, why was it a big deal? The answer was it wasn’t but they were the selfish ones, projecting their tyranny on everyone under the guise of standing up to imaginary tyranny.

Does she really wish to talk Darwinism? Rich coming from a prime example of the gene pool needs more chlorine. And she wants to lament being called names? Ironic since that is rather hypocritic of her. And them in general.

Now the whole idea of them having a slumber party with Melania and Lara Lee Trump. Can you imagine? Melania would glare and stand alone with stay away body language and maybe Lara would sing? And bring their stylists to do their hair? Are they living in a Real Housewives of New Jersey episode?

But most importantly do blondes have more fun? I won’t pretend to be an authority, I am neither blonde nor do I pretend to be. And I suppose on point is a matter of LuLaRoe meets Slipada taste. These are people I have never had a desire to know, so I get they are their own mutual admiration society and hey that’s cool, they can trade their Barbies too.

Practice Mindfulness Techniques such as; Breath Awareness, Daily Exercise, Loving-Kindness Meditation, Gratitude Blogging (blog about things you are grateful for, shift your focus from hate to appreciation), Eat Clean, and Drink Mostly Water. Practice Joyful Warrior Techniques such as; Resilience, Perseverance, Fierce Advocacy For Your Children, Empathy, Strength, Resourcefulness, Leadership, Community-focused, and Be Loving and Nurturing. Embrace A Growth Mindset such as; Embracing Challenges, Positive Self-Talk, Adaptability, Acquire New Skills, and Step Out of Comfort Zone. I recommend experimenting with various techniques and finding what works best for you. These characteristics foster the ability to develop and grow as a kind, positive human

Again offering me blogging advice. I write about what interests me, moves me, inspires me, means something, and what I find too ridiculous not to mock….like these “Joyful Warriors.”

I had to laugh at the suggestion to drink mostly water. Always have. Thanks for caring.

Once again I also smell a whiff of fat shaming. That’s a common thread for her. It makes her feel better. It’s predictable, yet hardly supportive of women as she claims to be. Ozempic was mentioned why? No I don’t actually, but is she criticizing those who do?

At it’s most basic, what these women like her can’t stand is when you stand up to their hypocrisy. So they project. And if it’s not them, it’s the pseudo granny squad version of them, who like to say they were on the scene before Stepford Wives for Totalitarianism, “Moms for America.”

I have little respect for women as limited as they are, as well as being mean as snakes. (So they understand, the phrase “mean as a snake” is a slang term used to describe someone who is treacherous, deceitful, or backstabbing.)

Their biggest problem with me is I don’t goose step lock step with them. I neither need nor want to know them. I am just myself, and that is simply not acceptable in their Stepford world of an echo chamber. So their Friday fun is another attempted jihad on me, their brand of cancel culture. Whatever. I survived breast cancer and ten years on Tamoxifen, do they really matter? Nope.

Why am I pointing this out? Because I can. Just like I pointed out the like minded thing in 2021 this exact time of year who posted a photo of me in a hospital gown from some part of 2011 and the beginning of my journey with breast cancer. Either before my surgery, or before I started radiation.  That person posted it as a typical bitchy female shaming move, much like the recent fat shaming…and again it was for similar reasons. And also same time of year…

They do not like what I have had to say about any of them or their hate spewing Chiquita Bananas, but I am entitled to my opinions like anyone else. Sure they have their First Amendment rights to their opinions, but no law says I (or anyone else) has to group think agree with them and the First Amendment is not actually subjective is it?

Bless her heart, and I thank her for the additional validity that people like me think people like her and her ilk are just wrong. And super weird to boot.

So girl, bye. At you’re core y’all as a collective are a very ordinary bevy of wannabe Ann Coulters. Whackadoodle elsewhere, or run in place, it’s your party, only I am not attending.

Kiss 💋kiss 💋 for now….and y’all are about as authentic as a plastic bag.

so “blondie” was a nerve hit? bless your heart, no apologies will be forthcoming.

Gee, was it something I said? Oh my…. it must have been this post:

LOL LOL LOL LOL the Twatwaffles for Trump must be peeved. There has been a swivet storm. They are polishing their gas masks and fake golden lassos and all of it. Keyboard warriors saddle up!

I am a predictable and inevitable blogger, like an elementary school playground script, yet she barely gives me a glance? Yet she gave it an @everyone post?

Alrighty. Come on now we know y’all pore over every word. Every word. And that cracks me up.

The woman who wears gas masks to school board meetings and is known for ummm…behaviors calling me a bully? Yet when she and they (meaning plural people not a pronoun because we all know how weird they get about those, right?) name call and bully and malign, they are “Joyful Warriors of Chester County”? That is actually as hysterical as her Wonder Woman garb.

So she basically is also saying I am fat without saying I am fat as well in her little passive aggressive rant. Yeah ok, next. I mean what do we expect of the Twatwaffles for Trump? Actual normal behavior? Nope. Just narcissistic nasty hypocrisy. If you aren’t like them, you are against them etc. etc.

They don’t live rent free in my head because most of the time I forget women like this exist because I do not have these types as friends. They also aren’t actual conservatives, they aren’t real Republicans, they are just and assortment of coast to coast nutters under the umbrella of a woman who likes threesomes in Florida, but hey they are all Good Christians, right?

https://abcnews.go.com/US/moms-liberty-founder-faces-calls-resignation-school-board/story?id=107071594

Now they have moved from book banning (or they are quieter about it) onto trans kids. They are such lovely inclusive people, aren’t they? Yet they always include me regionally because well…I always live rent free in their heads…weird, right?

Oh wait sorry. Yellow flag for overuse of the world weird….

https://slate.com/life/2024/09/moms-for-liberty-donald-trump-tiffany-justice.html

But hey, I’m the problem it’s me. Talk about a yawn. I have a need for mindfulness techniques and apparently they wish to teach me how to write. I guess I should start capitalizing Region? I have “deep issues” because I think they are ridiculous and embarrassingly ignorant women? Mmmmkay.

Oh but wait…that’s bullying the in their minds.

The bottom line is I still chose not to know these people, and I am good with that. They can live in their echo chambers of hate projecting who and what they are on everyone else….that is what is truly predictable. If you aren’t like them and in in their Psycho Stepford, you’re bad.

Then dayummmm, I must be bad to the bone and damn glad of it.

Neil Young’s campaign is tanking, in part thanks to Twatwaffles for Trump. That is why a lot of Republicans who could help him, avoid him, and won’t help him. It’s why his campaign is essentially fund free.

But hey Shann-O, I don’t actually have a need to have friends like you and I am beyond cool with that. You do you, it provides endless entertainment when you surface and demand attention, because that is what that screenshot is about isn’t it?

Signing off happy that I make such a difference in the limited little lives of Twatwaffles for Trump. I am bummed however that there will be no sleepovers, sharing of confidences, and hair braiding…..oh well….

it’s stepford tribble…err pumpkin season

When a friend sent me the above, I spit out my coffee. It’s like a Hard Sided Tribble Decorating Service for Stepford wives. (if you don’t know what a tribble is, look it up.)

I think it’s ridiculous. I did not know porches needed collectives. I did not know pumpkins required concierge service.

Oh and in spite of comments from the owner on social media that they just dreamed this up, it’s not original.

What am I talking about? A pumpkin decorating service called The Porch Collective. They say they are wait for it…a pumpkin concierge service.

But see next videos and article…not original.

https://www.entrepreneur.com/starting-a-business/her-up-to-8500-pumpkin-displays-are-already-sold-out-for/458216

Of course if you aren’t interested in “The Porch Collective” you can always go “Dwell

I don’t know this must be like one of the few times a year that Stepford Village development dwellers allow color into their beige, beige world? But it’s carefully orchestrated color using a color wheel leftover from that pyramid scheme perhaps?

Oh am I being sarcastic? Why yes and that is very astute of all of you. I am not going to tell people how to spend their money, but part of decorating your home for the holidays is heart and caring. It does not take a Halloween witch to place pumpkins artfully, after all Martha Stewart has been doing it for years and tells you like clockwork every year in her magazine. Same with Country Living Magazine. Also, on Pinterest without a subscription. Or hey GOOGLE.

And don’t tell me you are too busy. No one is that busy that they can’t place a few pumpkins. And hey sure, not everyone wants to carve pumpkins, I personally don’t because I like to look at the pumpkins. And when our son was little, pumpkin hunting, hay rides, corn mazes, and a massive carving and decorating afternoon with friends was a tradition.

Seriously, have we so devolved into the land of samey same in a beige beige development world that we can no longer find joy in picking out pumpkins ourselves and placing them?

And if you do not have time to pick out pumpkins, psssst there is this great company called BloomBox and they have great prices and they deliver….

But seriously back to the Porch Collective. Not original. Here- just peruse the Internet:

Oh but dear rubes of a certain collective, they are doing you a favor and they dreamed it all up themselves over iced pumpkin lattes and a pumpkin flaxseed muffin in their cookie cutter kitchen in their cookie cutter house. Note the screenshots below, especially the comment left on their socials.

People this is as original as a grocery store apple pie. My eyes are dong the full roll. And I like pumpkins, but umm people after they dump all of these pumpkins on your McMansion porch who will be disposing of them for you? If you buy 30-60+ pumpkins where will you put them? I bet your HOA dragons might have something to say about that. They should have paid closer attention to some of the samey same businesses I found all over the country which include clean up in the prices.

But hey, what do I know? I can tell you I can place my own pumpkins and I don’t want to look like a giant vomited pumpkins all over the front of my house. I also do not want to see my design scheme replicated all over the place.

I just can’t get over the Stepford Wife of it all with this. If you use them, remember delivery and set up are extra.

Go ahead, call me a witch. It’s near Halloween, after all. But damn people, have we so fallen from reality that we can’t place our own freaking pumpkins?

Sign me cackling all the way….

west chester parking hell…there is even a you tube song

Now I knew that West Chester Parking authority was bad enough that there are even Reddit threads about it. But I didn’t know that there was a song on YouTube until today.

So some parking attendant told someone to “take it up with Ramsey” the other day. I thought I’d send an email and help out. But all emails I sent the screenshots to apparently block email. Here’s whom I tried to email:

bmcginnis@west-chester.com

rreiner@west-chester.com

smetrick@west-chester.com

parkingdepartment@west-chester.com

So then I thought that this will instead make a great blog post. So here it is.

We all have heard or actually have stories of the parking authority in West Chester Borough. And of course, there is the favorite story of the prior director, when he left?

https://patch.com/pennsylvania/westchester/fired-west-chester-parking-director-charged-theft

Like that whole thing went on for so long it was one of the biggest untold stories in West Chester Borough. He got a smack on the wrist for his theft basically, in my opinion. 

Hello West Chester has written about the insanity. Cara is just more politically correct about it compared to me. I just think it’s bullshit and have for years.

Back to this new thread popped up in a Facebook group about someone having a serious problem with one of the parking attendants within the past few days.

I’m giving you all the screenshots, names redacted.

If there’s something wrong with their equipment, they need to deal with it. Obviously these borough employees also need to be taught how to properly and professionally and politely deal with the public. You know, basic manners.

Of course another interesting aspect of the story is the fact that the head of the parking authority or whatever they call it in West Chester used to be township manager in New Garden Township . Why would you go from being a township manager to take a job like this?

NEW GARDEN — The first woman township manager in New Garden unexpectedly resigned from her high-powered municipal leadership role over the summer.

Ramsey Reiner left the role of New Garden Township manager on Aug. 22. She was hired in April 2020 to fill that position during the height of the pandemic shutdown.

Still there are more changes ahead.

Chris Adamek, the New Garden zoning officer, is also departing from his leadership role with the municipality. His last day is Sept. 30. Adamek answers questions and addresses concerns regarding property zoning, code violations and building permits.

……As for why Reiner resigned, there are no answers available for the public at this juncture.

“That’s a personnel matter. That’s between the township and Ramsey. That’s not something that we can really comment on,” said William Christman, board and township solicitor, on Friday.

Christman said the Daily Local would need to file a Right To Know request to view the separation agreement signed by Reiner and approved by the board.

Christman said the township supervisors approved a resolution to appoint John Granger as interim manager following Reiner’s departure.

Granger recommended to the board that a forensic audit be conducted in New Garden.

Granger of course was the manager in West Vincent who was moonlighting in New Garden while manager there remember? Of course Granger also did that when he was working in Bucks County with Radnor Township didn’t he? And then left West Vincent?

But I digress.

I remember being in West Chester a few years ago with a friend who got a ticket although they literally still had time on the meter when we got back to their car. My friend tried to get a hold of someone to ask about the ticket and could never get anyone on the phone or via email so they ended up just paying the ticket. I still think that was wrong.

West Chester Borough is a strange beast at times, all while being such a charming town full of history. It just always seems like dealing with that borough depends on who you know doesn’t it?

Maybe it’s time for that to stop?

The parking authority in West Chester Borough never really changes, does it ?

I also don’t understand what’s going on with West Chester Borough email and why they would block a legitimate email address? But hey I tried.
