The rewards of profligate spending

posted in food, politics |

Turns out  that crime DOES pay, at least if your job title is regal enough. The former (small mercy) lieutenant governor has decided to plead guilty to fraud charges after a half-decade of “We are not amused” defense of profligate spending. She is willing to repay almost $310K to the public purse; pity that the amount is short of the $700K considered to be MIA.

But who am I to comment? After all, I’m not shortlisted for any such job action. Willing to assume the burden, but not shortlisted…

Today I researched yeast. Not too detailed a study, but enough to learn that there are different types of yeast available for the home breadmaker. Apparently our newest appliance will work better if we put the right magic seeds in the belly. Have to look into that; maybe tomorrow. Can you tell we’re due to go grocery shopping, when I’m wondering how to make bread?

Received  the final refund from my current medical insurance. The retired have to look elsewhere for coverage (yes, we’re looking), but I wanted to clear up any loose threads before moving on. The new lens in my eye is actually covered (for 80% of the action) which pleases me.

I’m starting to appreciate the strange humour of the twitterverse. When you are limited in letter count, you have to compensate with actual wit. I’ll not regale you with examples (you can find your own pearls), but I may have to up my ante. Next on the “to learn about” list is something called Instagram. Seems to have lots of embarrassing photos in share mode.
