      Snow!!! Well in my AOR, overnight we received rooftop covering. I’ll settle for a “buck snow” which is a light covering on the ground in order to highlight the deer. Just returned from checking the grounds.

    The news is doing a story this morning on how much childcare costs, according to them it’s as much as tuition to a public college. Although I know it has always been expensive, I wonder if the increased costs has anything to do with the government? I know a lady who owns a daycare and according to her 75% of her kids the government pays for their care. Many of those have mothers who are on welfare, which blows my mind why their mothers can’t care for them.

      My daughter was talking to a friend of a friend at school and someone needed a babysitter so we went to meet the young lady and her children as my kiddo is looking for a little side job.

      Here is what we encountered;

      The mom had 5 children under 8, one with autism, one with ADHD one with “so many things wrong with her that they don’t know what is wrong with her” but “she isn’t here much because her dad’s parents have primary custody of her because they lied and said I abused her.”

      Along with the 5 children there were 2 cats and 2 dogs one of which was a pit bull who had to thrown in the backyard because he kept barking.

      Oh and if my daughter had a problem while babysitting she could yell down to the guy who lived in the basement (because his landlord threw him out of his apartment for some unjust reason) but he worked nights so try not to bother him.

      The mom couldn’t pay much because she was already getting FREE child care from the state but getting the younger kids there was a bother and the un-nice woman who ran the place didn’t like when the mom brought her puking kids to daycare. “What was she supposed to do with them?”

      Anyhow, I didn’t walk out because I wanted my daughter to get a good look at the reality of liberalism. I told the mom that I thought it was a bit too much responsibility for the kiddo and wished her luck.

      The girl child was for once speechless.

        When I first started joining FB groups I was shocked at the people who would get on FB and ask strangers to babysit their kids. Like so much anymore, it doesn’t shock me anymore. Just disgusts me that people will advertise on FB for a babysitter, especially when it’s their infants. That is also very common to see the post: I have to go back to work and I need someone to watch my baby from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.

        What disgusts me more is when someone they don’t know say they will watch the baby is for them to comment back and ask if they can start tomorrow. Then you can follow the comments and without them ever meeting them in person they set it up to bring their baby.
        I see people being more thorough with who will dog sit than people who baby sit.

        Then of course there are always the posts looking for someone who is licensed because the state is paying for their childcare. Those posts are always followed with comments about how if they have family members they don’t have to be licensed and the state will pay them to care for their kids and how this person’s mother or aunt keeps their child and the state pays them.

    My gripe of the day. I tracked my UPS package this morning and the b-holes dropped it off at the PO. I get so tired of them doing that, one of the reasons I do order some things online and specifically through UPS or Fedex is so I don’t have to go to the PO to pick it up. The PO never delivers packages, just a card saying my package is at the PO.

      They do the same thing to me often. Because driving a quarter mile up a twisty driveway is too much to ask of them I guess.

        We do have a fairly long and steep driveway and it’s more like a cattle trail this year with all the rain, but I’ve had a large package and a small package and they’ll deliver the large package yet take the small one to the PO.
        I was told today by the clerk at the PO that it was going to get worse this year because UPS had trouble getting all the packages delivered last year. So they’ve already informed them they’re going to be dropping off more packages. They’re going to have a truck now that just delivers packages to the PO.

      My gripe of the week. I ordered wine through a wine club (first time ever). They deducted the amount from my credit card almost a month ago, and I still don’t have the wine. Supposedly, my state required that a private courier deliver it, and the courier will call me when they are going to deliver. The wine club (owned by the Wall Street Journal) can’t tell me when that will be, or who the courier is. I have called them four times so far, and must call them again, it seems.

      I have been barred from the local UPS office since I’ve been there on more than one occasion to axe them why they still can’t find my house which hasn’t moved in over 4+ years. I make Mrs. T answer the door if’n I’m home. Luckily, I haven’t been barred from anyplace that really matters. 😆 😉

        We don’t even have a local office, we have a drop off spot through another business who just puts labels on for them.
        Their call center is usually no help, but not as bad as Fedex.

          It’s really a distribution center with a very small office tacked on, but they don’t like me much.

            I wish we had even that. So all I can do is call and complain.
            I had a dvd made by a local television station a few years back of him on a children’s show when he was a child. They threw it in my yard with my dogs. It was pure luck that I even happened to see it when I came home. I would have been furious if they had chewed it up because it took me two years to finally reach the right person who could find it and transfer it to a dvd.
            After that we built a big box with Packages painted in bold letters on the top and three sides and set it beside our gate. One time since we built have they actually placed packages in it. Although I always give those instructions and clearly tell them it is beside the gate. I always get told that they either couldn’t locate it or the package wouldn’t fit.
            It’s crazy they have to walk by it to get to the gate and it’s right beside the gate.

    During a campaign event in New Hampshire today, Hillary Clinton was asked about the women who accused her husband of rape and sexual assault.

    The woman pointed out how Clinton recently said all rape victims should be believed, and then asked, “Would you say that about Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and/or Paula Jones?”
