However, if you will email your comments to: vernellis51@gmail.com I will publish them here.
I will in the future be able to accept comments, I just haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Gas Prices

My sister snapped this photo of gas prices in Lubbock Texas two days ago.I filled up yesterday at Valero for $3.89 gallon. In 2026 here locally gas prices are predicted to go up exponentially due to the closure of 2 refineries.

Update on My Bitch Printer

Well my ole printer started working. I shut the power off and restarted about a few billion times, with no joy. Then I searched for a new driver for what felt like a couple of millenia, with absolutely no joy. Went on the epson website and I guess they don't have one or I'm too damn dumb to find the stupid thing.
What I did that finally got it to print right was I unplugged the usb cord and let it sit for a few seconds then plugged it back in. Don't know why that worked but that is what got it to start printing correctly.
The next problem I had with the thing was the capacity of the ink cartridges. There is only enough ink in the silly things to print about negative one sheets of paper. So I had to go buy more ink and that stuff is EXpensive I'm tellin ya.
Anyway I think I am on the road to making two Christmas presents for my daughters. I am printing out 2026 calendars and adding some pictures to the thing. I did that back in 03 and 04 for my family back in Texas, thought I would give it another go round.
Ya'll take care and here is a semi early MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Transmission Fluid Change

Personally I have never drained the transmission thinking it was the motor oil drain plug, but I know someone who did. He will never do that again, I guarantee it.
Yesterday I took my 03 Dakota to a quick oil change place I have been going to for almost 40 years. Thru 3 different owners. I wanted to get a drain and fill and replace the transmission fluid filter.
Imagine my surprise when they told me: We don't do that here any more. All they will do is a transmission flush. But they won't drop the pan and replace the filter and gasket.
Apparently the cost to stock the filters and gaskets for the vast number of cars out there is too steep for the new owner to deal with. Oh well. I guess I am gonna do it myself, whether I want to or not. My knees don't like me gettin down on the friggin cold concrete anymore.

My Printer is Being a Bitch

I am trying to print a calendar I am making for a Christmas present. Pictures on the cover and introducing each month. I have january february and march printed out. When I went to print april all the printer would do is print out a dozen pages of gibberish. I shutdown and restarted the printer and computer a couple of times with no help. I will now try downloading a new driver. If that doesn't work I am going to have to buy a new printer. Any suggestions on what to buy? I am all ears.

Comment from Tom K: Epson eco-tank. Inexpensive, great print quality, has a low ink print option, Software has scanning and photo option

Comment from xtexan: Hi Fred...Xtexan here.. about your printer issues. first, be sure your photos are not all wacked out full of odd commands. How? dunno. second, beware of color printers...some of them can eat up your color cartridge refills...look into a Brother color as well besides an Epson. Check out prices of color refills as well before you go all out for a color printer. The fish is a blue tang from Finding Nemo...one of the most popular salt water aquarium specimens..

Keep Your Old Cars

This guy has a great point. New cars are dropdead expensive. Most of us can only afford them by getting a 7 year or longer car loan.
By the time you pay it off you have a broke down piece of junk.
But he says this one needs transmission work. You can only work on them if you can get repair parts. Ones that work.

Who Gives a Shit if Media Doesn't Show Up?

This idiot seems to think leftwing media boycotting white house press conferences will be bad for the Presidency.
What a maroon!
That would give a voice to all of the smaller outlets. In my opinion that would not be a bad thing.
Maybe we should make a federal law! Ha! All leftwing media outlets to be adorned in cat costumes with those pink pussy hats or no admittance! Haa!

Fuck I Hate Being Old

Fuck I hate being old. Being old means I can't do shit anymore.
And that ain't good.
I need a new goddamn roof. Used to I would haul my fat ass up to the roof, scrape off the three layers of shingles on the fuckin thing, then put down tarpaper and the new shingles.
But not anymore. I found out a couple weeks ago I can't hardly go longer than an hour without turning into a pussy and climbing down the ladder and going home.
With my tail between my legs. Fuck I hate being old.
$20,000 for a new roof. Fuck me silly with a handy billy.

Mechanic Work

In August of 1970 I went to naval bootcamp in Orlando, Florida. After graduating from there I went to Great Lakes, Illinois where I made a number of new friends. After leaving there a bunch of us went to Vallejo, California for another 6 month school. When we got there one of the guys had a bandage on a couple of fingers.
He had been using soap on a v-belt to quieten the noise. Only some of his fingers got pulled thru the belt and pulley.
Ouch.

Wiper Blades. Can't Drive Without Em. Can't Put Em On Either

Wiper blades. Screw em, the dagnab dagblasted pieces of evil.
My daughter has a 2015 ford escape and needed a rear wiper blade. Easy peasy japaneesy, right? Well, you would be wrong.
The video shows how easy it is to replace, but when I do it, Oh No! Hold on there, sissy, you aint gittin it off that easy.
Slide your thumb under and JUST pop it off. Uh huh, let's see you do it. That sonofabitch was held on by the glue of seven hells.
My daughter tried it. No joy. So she takes the car and blade down to o'reillys so we can let mr smart guy there do it. Uh huh.
He goes inside to look it up online. Meantime my daughter slides her thumb under, and the damn thing just pops right off.
Then he pops the new one back in.
Damn wiper blades anyhow.

The Next Government Shutdown Will Start January 30, 2026

This government shutdown will hopefully be over in a few days, after the house reconvenes and votes on the new stuff coming over from the senate.
But. The dems are not getting what they want which is illegal health care for illegal aliens funded by the taxpayer.
So January 30th this whole thing is going to start again.

Comment by Steve Clayton:The meme talking about obamacare being designed to fail is spot on. Democrats knew it would eventually fail and they didn't care. By design, republicans would be forced to intercede to help fix it and the only way to fix it would be to morph it into full-on state run socialist healthcare. It wasn't designed to fail by accident, but by design.

Why Is Government THIS Involved in Peoples Lives??

I mean, it's all well and good that .gov "Promotes the General Welfare" of people, but Goddam Sam, do they have to be the ones that make sure the lazy cocksuckers get enough food to eat?
Answer: Hell No.
Make the damn sunzabitches earn their own keep. Make the women keep their legs closed. If the women have more than one kid they can't feed, sterilize 'em.
If the women have any kid they can't feed, make 'em give up the name of the baby daddy, and go round that sumbitch up, put his ass to work, and make HIM pay for that family to eat.
I mean, don't we have a bunch of roadsides with weeds that need to be cut? Snow that needs shoveled? Pay that sumbitch $7.50 an hour, 60 hours per week. Then HE can feed his family.

Free Food in Fresno, Calif.

I just heard of this place today. I don't know anything about it, but I have to assume this is real.
A grocery store run by the Central California Food Bank. If people who don't get snap benefits this month need food, looks to me like this is the place to be.

Have a Few Jokes

A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs. She asked the blonde what their names were.
The blonde said one was named Rolex. And the other was named Timex. The other girl said whoever heard of names like that for dogs?
The blonde said HELLO!! They're WatchDogs!

I was in the drivethru at mcdonalds and the female behind me honked at me and yelled out the window "Get Moving". So when I got to the first window
I decided to be a gentleman and I paid for her food also. When I got to the second window I showed my receipt and got her food too. You're Welcome Bitch.

I think I have figured out why our generation is so smart. We had lawn darts and clacker balls. To take out the stupid ones.

Another Democrat Admits They Think Gov't Shutdown is Good

These damn democrats absolutely think they hold the winning hand. I hope the country can survive democrats.
My opinion is this shutdown will probably last thru Christmas, maybe longer. It may stop tomorrow, but I don't think so.
I think this may possibly precipitate the civil war everyone has been saying for 10 years or longer is coming.
The left is correct in one thing though. This is going to require violence, and lots of it, to end this thing.

Comment: Gary Glendenning. The left is trying to organize a mass shoplift at the local Walmart Monday the third od November.
It’ll be interesting to see if there is an ICE/National guard/police presence. That will indicate whether the overlords are aiming for riots or order in our society’s future.
I’m gonna grab some popcorn and be at Walmart Monday at the 6:30 kickoff time.

Pork Jerky Recalled from Costco and Sam's Club

I don't shop at either of these stores, there is just me in the house. But my family does.
Apparently some consumers have found wire in their jerky. That would be an odd thing, chewing on some meat then get a bite of wire.
Wouldn't that throw your tail up over your head.

In November, Food Stamp Money Will Run Out For 42 Million Very Angry Americans

All these decades of giving stuff to people without expecting anything in return are about to come back and bite us in the ass.
This government shutdown looks to me like it could go on for a few more weeks, maybe even months. Could go down as the longest one in our history.
But according to the article, in november money for snap benefits goes away unless .gov has a miracle pulled out of its ass.
Millions of americans and illegal aliens alike are not gonna get their "free" money. And then what happens.
Maybe nothing. But more likely we are gonna see a whole bunch more people in the streets throwing bricks & flaming bottles. Thanksgiving might be a little different this year.
