Associated Bank really pissed me off in Columbus.
I needed a notary Monday and it seems everything was closed except the Associated Bank of Columbus. Since notary's are not part of the banking system but a State thing I went there to get a couple document's notarized. Just a quick thing - no big deal.
I walk in and 2 employees are sitting around doing nothing, not one person in the bank. I ask if there is a notary available and a woman says "we both are". Then she asks if I have an account. I say no. She says "Well, we won't notarize unless you are a bank customer". What the fuck? WHAT? - way way to busy? MERRY FREAKING CHRISTMAS TO YOU ASS Bank.
I will never step in that bank again. She was so rude.
*******************
Monday we were going about our day and the house was all nice and warm. In the afternoon I was wearing a T-shirt and it was a little warm. I checked the thermometer and it was 72. Few hours later DJ mentions "it's warm in here isn't it?" "yea it sure is " I said and checked again. 72. hmmmm REALLY? 72? I was about to go get my pro thermometer and looked closer at our NEST. OH! It's set to read the DOWNSTAIRS . . . . . I click to the right setting - OH! it's 78 in UPSTAIRS.
Saving money NOW!!

Not sure who follows Robert Reich but this was an interesting conversation

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This morning I phoned my friend, the former Republican member of Congress.
ME: So, what are you hearing?
HE: Trump is in deep sh*t.
ME: Tell me more.
HE: When it looked like he was backing down on the wall, Rush and the crazies on Fox went ballistic. So he has to do the shutdown to keep the base happy. They’re his insurance policy. They stand between him and impeachment.
ME: Impeachment? No chance. Senate Republicans would never go along.
HE (laughing): Don’t be so sure. Corporate and Wall Street are up in arms. Trade war was bad enough. Now, you’ve got Mattis resigning in protest. Trump pulling out of Syria, giving Putin a huge win. This dumbass shutdown. The stock market in free-fall. The economy heading for recession.
ME: But the base loves him.
HE: Yeah, but the base doesn’t pay the bills.
ME: You mean …
HE: Follow the money, friend.
ME: The GOP’s backers have had enough?
HE: They wanted Pence all along.
ME: So …
HE: So they’ll wait until Mueller’s report, which will skewer Trump. Pelosi will wait, too. Then after the Mueller bombshell, she’ll get 20, 30, maybe even 40 Republicans to join in an impeachment resolution.
ME: And then?
HE: Senate Republicans hope that’ll be enough -- that Trump will pull a Nixon.
ME: So you think he’ll resign?
HE (laughing): No chance. He’s fu*king out of his mind. He’ll rile up his base into a fever. Rallies around the country. Tweet storms. Hannity. Oh, it’s gonna be ugly. He’ll convince himself he’ll survive.
ME: And then?
HE: That’s when Senate Republicans pull the trigger.
ME: Really? Two-thirds of the Senate?
HE: Do the math. 47 Dems will be on board, so you need 19 Republicans. I can name almost that many who are already there. Won’t be hard to find the votes.
ME: But it will take months. And the country will be put through a ringer.
HE: I know. That’s the worst part.
ME: I mean, we could have civil war.
HE: Hell, no. That’s what he wants, but no chance. His approvals will be in the cellar. America will be glad to get rid of him.
ME: I hope you're right.
HE: He’s a dangerous menace. He’ll be gone. And then he'll be indicted, and Pence will pardon him. But the state investigations may put him in the clinker. Good riddance.

I'm loving the stock market. Dropping for no reason then zooming up for another no reason and now zooming down for even more no reason.
The economy is doing well, there is no real threat of a recession even though the talking heads are trying to talk you into it so you keep watching their news.

here is some good news - FOX Fake News is having ratings issues! Hannity's ratings are down 19% since the Mid terms and 30% in the coveted 25-54 year old's (meaning of the ten of the 25-54 year old's only 7 watch now) . and Tucker and Laura are down 20%
Maybe more people that love propaganda news and their hate filled rhetoric are seeing that the GOP is NOT working for them anymore?
