Wanna be a member?

https://hymnsandhome.com/2024/07/25/qmq3lct Now that I have gotten in to the habit of blogging on here, I feel kind of guilty when I don’t.  I might as well have been raised Catholic. The truth is, I haven’t written anything in a while because I bought a green screen.  It started when I saw Avatar and I thought “Hell, I can do that.”. No no. Just kidding. It started when I saw two 8 year old boys on You Tube making green screens with chartreuse construction paper.  I said to myself, I said I said, “I can’t be stupider than an eight year old.” Even though I didn’t really want to test myself and learn the horrible truth.

I have gotten so pre-occupied playing green screen games that I haven’t been thinking of things to blog about. It did occur to me, somewhere along the way, that I might want to write about  how irritating it was to hear them play the Helen Reddy song “I am Woman” at the Academy Awards when Kathryn Bigelow walked up to receive the prize for Best Director . Geez. Could they be a little dorkier? That song was lame and never  even genuinely relevant when it was new. But perhaps I am not understanding something. Maybe  the basis for picking the “walking to the podium song” is to reduce the winner to an embarrassing sociological stereotype. If that is the case, then I would like to insist that in the future, when that other gender starts to dominate the director prize again and Martin Scorcese or Steven Speilberg wins the award, the Academy play “I’m a Man” by the Spencer Davis Group . But its too late to be talking about this now. My infatuation with my new green screen made me lose my window of opportunity . Damn.

More so for the fact that I am in that category of people who is in line for a 39% increase in health insurance premiums. I don’t really understand a country that wants to protect and defend insurance companies like these.

His worst piece of advice was  “Don’t let the dogs sleep in the same room with you. They’ll use up all the oxygen.” His best piece of advice was “For Chrissakes, Merrill, just stay out of the stock market.” But his most frequent piece of advice was “Why don’t you  join more clubs.” Back when I was in high school and a member of almost nothing, I would throw his words right back at him. “Why don’t you?.” I would say because he was a member of nothing. We didn’t even have a religious affiliation.

But now, despite my genetically inherited inclination toward being an unaffiliated loner,   I find myself an involuntary member of many many things.  Why, just in my neighborhood alone I am a card carrying member of  three different supermarkets, a beauty supply store, an office supply store, a pharmacy and a gym. Fingers crossed they haven’t noticed I don’t attend meetings.  (Although that might be a good weight loss technique: having a look at who else  is on the membership roster for the Ralph’s Club.)

https://www.adroitprojectconsultants.com/2024/07/25/ebua9nmnalq I also had no choice but to become a member of three unions, (even though I only wanted to join one) and seven internet sites, ( even though I wanted to join none. Spammers were opening fake accounts in my name and I needed to reclaim my online birthright. ) I guess my father would be bursting with pride. But  of all the wonderful wonderful  clubs whose cards I now carry in my wallet, there is only one club card that has any real meaning to me.   It is the one club on whose board  I would proudly serve . I have a feeling I might be the only member in my demographic sample. Perhaps by a good 4 or 5 decades. But I believe I could use that to my advantage. I bet  I would  dominate at those meetings! I would rule that club. There’s no debate I couldn’t win . I would be their queen.  Well, back to my green screen.

  1. https://www.inaxorio.com/tctqzjy0vg The torture in that dog’s eyes! click here My parent’s black lab adored me when I went to visit, and refused to leave my side , even when I was practicing the violin. She flinched every time I went near the E string, but hung in there. https://www.inaxorio.com/wi59ipzqkj7 I’ve been urged to join more, but never have the enthusiasm others do, and hate being signed up involuntarily for a committee I know nothing about. https://autismwish.org/1yu3d5m68p I have plenty of interests, but apparently they don’t have groups for most of them. (Especially ADD support groups.) I need tips and help, but ADD people are too frazzled to get one up and running.

  2. see I hope I’m not becoming extravagant in my blog comments, but if you are indeed a card-carrying member of the mac & cheese club then you need to know about my pal Suz’s blog. No, this is not spam, I promise! It’s a mostly LA-focused blog that reviews the mac & cheese served in the metro area. They also test and review various recipes for mac & cheese. It’s at http://www.weheartmacandcheese.com.

    • get link Wow. You are a font of info. That Babelfish thing is amazing. I’m glad to know about it. And I will check out the Mac and Cheese blog, tho I don’t actually EAT much mac and cheese. or I would quickly weigh 300 pounds. Instead I just like to imagine attending a Mac and Cheese club meeting. I would like to get a photo of withered expressions of disappointment on the faces of the rest of the membership when they see someone my age come in the door.
