thought for the day

If I won the lottery, I'd do all the usual financial things - diversify, invest, etc., drag my friends out for various holidays, and quit my job, yes.

But then I'd get an electrician's ticket or a plumber's ticket, and/or learn how to generally handyman. And then I'd offer repair services to domestic shelters and stay-at-home mums a couple of days a week, and encourage other women to get similarly rated for repairs, etc.

Friday Sel is Snarky Sel

Reading a travel article dating back to May last year.

Apparently, at the end of December, a Chicago, IL woman felt the desperate need to reply about 50% of the the comments on the article (almost all of them made back in May) and tell them:

a) how wrong they were (re: criticisms of US Drivers, cheese, food, banking),
b) how they must have been in the wrong part of the country (re: Driving While Black, pro-gun attitudes in the US, crime)
c) how right they were (re: the US is a Great Country).

My dear woman, you're a kind of American that gives America a bad name. Shut up and let other people have their say without chiming in about how your experience of America is the only valid one.
