Monday Funday!
It's all fun and games in Clown World!
(Note for new subscribers: On Monday, I recap some of the positive stories/funny memes I’ve come across in the last week. We can ALL use some extra joy this week, so please add your own in the comments!)
The last couple weeks have been jam-packed with news, and a lot of Americans are confused by the “sudden” events forcing Biden to drop out. If you’re one of them, you might want to get ahold of that “conspiracy theory” friend you blew off a couple years ago. Not sure how to start the conversation? Try this:
Of course, the elephant in the room this week is Biden dropping out of the 2024 election. Looks like Obama finally sat him down and told him what’s what……
And let’s be honest, a stern talking-to is much better than Obama’s next plan…..
So now Joe is out, (and MIA) and Kamala Harris looks set to take over as the Democratic nominee for president. Luckily for her, she comes into the race with a huge advantage:
Man I love wordplay.
Is this America or a Looney Tunes cartoon?
On one hand, you have to sort of admire the problem solving….but why not just use your brain to get an actual job instead of stealing random packages?
Today we’re going to set aside our usual Monday pawsitivity for some Monday clawsitivity!
When workers at a Red Lobster in Pueblo, Colorado found a very rare (1 in 30 million!) orange lobster in a recent shipment, they quickly sprung into action to ensure he didn’t end up in a diner’s belly. After striking out with the Pueblo Zoo, the staff found Crush a new home in the Denver Aquarium, where his tank is adorned with a Broncos helmet!
Now Aquarium-goers will be able to enjoy Crush for decades to come! That sure beats being dinner!
Kai wants you to know these horrendous allegations are completely unfounded and he has no idea how they even got started……….
If Kai could talk, he might sound a little like Marion Barry……..
Holadios shared this in a comment on Friday, and I feel it deep in my bones:
On the upside, after an election we can skip right over denial and move straight to anger.
Fun Fact: This swan would make a better Secret Service Agent than the ones in Butler.
Come to think of it, she’d probably make a better Secret Service Director than Cheatle.
That’s what I found this week, Screamers! Hope this post brought a little joy to your Monday! What made you guys happy this week? Let everybody know in the comments below!

A stunning shock occurred yesterday afternoon, my youngest daughter (with the controlling husband) called me out of the blue. Fortunately I was not doing anything important and we spoke. I have not seen her since daddy's memorial service last November 2023, saw her once at the hospital in June of 2023, and not at all since April 2022!! We got in various minor arguments back then and then over nothing really her husband went into full asshole mode in May of 2022 and pronounced me not part of the family.
So anyway, my daughter, my dear Lizzie called me. I was shaking the whole time (abuse and trauma here) and felt like sobbing a few times, but I was very brave and just kept it simple and listened to her tell me about her three kiddos that are 7 6 and 5 now..... I have not SEEN those kids in over two years. OH, they live just 30 minutes south of us.
Now the reason for her call was that two whole weeks ago, I called and left a kind message telling her I loved her and missed her (something I have done many times, and her call back would usually end up with her husband yelling at my over the phone) So, with NO communication, I really have no idea whether she got my call. This blanking people is new to me. I was not raised to do this to anyone much less family.... I do not know much more now, I was hesitant to ask a lot of questions mainly because it has been so so so long,.
I am coping with this. Mainly bc I have such a great hubbs who reminds me that it is not me with the problem.
Anyway, that is that. Today is drab and rainy and I am sewing fabric and eating cheetoes, messy but fun
Harris going to speak about this before Biden, LOL:
