Toys In My Attic

Sharing my random thoughts on the passing scene.
Lose it? No. Give it away and/or reject it? Yes. And I know that I continue to be saved the same way I know that I still love my husband: because I choose it each and every day. In neither case does that mean a dependency on works, although in both cases works are an important…
Interesting talk with Q, my 16 yo, just now. He mentioned anti-war people who don't make the connection between their abstract principle and their own personal desire to wipe out those who disagree with them. That led us into a general discussion of morality, and how humans would…
Do automated phone systems reduce anyone else to incoherent, mouth-frothing rage, or is it just me?
. . . A cardboard box after my cats have gotten hold of it.
Obama’s presidential library looks like…[FILL IN THE BLANK].
Why? They'll only get in the women's way.
Men belong in the kitchen
As a female Uber driver, I've been asked before - usually by men - if I feel uncomfortable picking up male passengers. I don't say it, but I'm usually thinking, "Well, I didn't until now!"
Uber will let women drivers and riders request to avoid being paired with men starting next month in the US
Stolen squalor
Is there a type/term of “Stolen Valor” when people pretend they grew up poor?
Well, see, Target actually makes a profit.
I just looked up hers and Angel Reese's salary - $80k a year??? How are they earning less than a Target store manager???? Tf
Straw man. That's not what we believe. We have no problem with the idea that a woman could remain a virgin her whole life; we just don't think she DID, nor do we think it was important or necessary for her to do so. But sure, tell us how "promiscuous" it is to have sexual…
Protestants will believe Moses parted the Red Sea, and that Jonah rose after 3 days in a fish. But a woman remaining a virgin for life? Nope. Sorry, that’s a miracle not even God can perform. Those protty broads really are promiscuous.
If you're an employee, the employer's profit margin IS your responsibility, because it is part of how "what you are worth" is determined. This is especially true of sports teams, whose job is to put butts in the seats and get people watching.
If you’re an employee the employer’s profit margin isn’t your problem or responsibility. They need to pay you what you are worth or they can’t have said employee. Only in the US are ppl expected to have some bizarre allegiance to a company with no reciprocation. It’s a work cult.
A street fighter? Gavin Newsom?! Please. He's an expensive suit topped with hair gel. The only thing he knows about any street is the few seconds of it he sees while his chauffeur opens the limo door.
Here’s the thing about our Governor @GavinNewsom - he’s a street fighter. He’s not going to let Trump or anyone fuck with California or our country. If Republicans want to bring knives to the fight, he’s bringing tanks. We’ve got his back.
No, here is the scenario: I walk into my kitchen and you're there, I shoot you before you get a chance to start your little sob story. Tell it to the EMTs.
So if I come to take bread from your house and my kids are starving, you will murder me? Here is a scenario: You hear a sound from your kitchen. You walk in with your gun and you see me holding your bread and soda. I raise my hands and say "I am hungry". Will you shoot me?
M'dude, if you come into my house in the middle of the night without my knowledge and permission, I'm not sitting down to interview you about your intentions and motivations.

Because . . . other people's lives and decisions are not my responsibility? Because that's not how salaries work, and this is comparing two completely separate and different things?
Why is it “if you can't pay rent, buy fewer lattes” and not “if you can't pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts”?
I don't have to imagine. Biden had the whole Epstein mess his entire administration, and did exactly this. And we reacted the same way we are now.
Imagine if Biden had a horrible scandal involving child sex trafficking, and ordered all Democrats to stop talking about it, even making phone calls to order Democrats to be silent.. Imagine how Republicans would react to that. Need I say more.
PRAYER REQUEST! I have gotten the interview for the promotion I applied for. It's tomorrow. Enormous numbers of things hinge on this potential promotion. I would appreciate prayer that 1) I don't completely freeze and choke up during the interview, and 2) that God will let me…
One more time for the hard-of-thinking: why do you expect to live on a minimum-wage job?
The yearly pay at the federal minimum wage: $15,080 The average yearly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment in the United States: $17,340 We need living wages and lower housing costs. This is not sustainable.
Just?! JUST?! There is no "just" about being inside my home!
Are you insane? You seriously think you should be allowed to kill someone just because they’re in your home?
Pro tip: If you're going to withhold your company to punish someone, make sure they actually wanted your company first.
Yep, we’re avoiding the US like the plague in droves. Your own citizens can fill your hotels, restaurants, theatres etc. Sorry, America, Canada is not coming. 🇨🇦🤷🏻♂️😆 #ElbowsUp #BuyCanadian #boycottUs #boycottUSA.
Has anyone else noticed that the left only gets concerned about government spending when it involves protecting the United States?
Aside from the obvious moral abomination of these raids, think about how much money and resources we are wasting on this bullshit. Your tax dollars sending armed gestapo agents with helicopters to kidnap farm workers, the hardest working people in the country. Insanity.
Then don't live here. No one will force you to.
The USA is a SHITHOLE country.
