Hate Virginia

What causes depression rapists beaters Fort Lee hate them all legally? Have not had one single happy memory in ya nightmare sewage hole called Virginia.

Rain Cycling

Hot and rainy weather but not too rainy for the bicycle. Fourth long bike ride of the week. I met with video game groups in the park to discuss game battles today. People play basketball in the park, volleyball, and now bike to play video games as well.

Pee-wee's Bicycle

My urge to bike around for summer has hit Pee-wee Herman's bike level. I now know why he had to go on a big adventure just to bike more. For years I could not understand why the bike shop girl kept wanting to go on a date at the drive-in with Pee-wee, but after I grew up and re-watched it I realized Pee-wee must be rich. His house is filled with toys and has no work tools, he turns down massive money for his custom bicycle, he is on a first name basis with a super rich kid living in his same area, Elvira is at the bar he stopped at, and he travels to Texas to find his bike at whimsie. Everything points to ultra wealthy in the story! She wants to be married to be joint on his epic bank account. As a kid I never noticed these details. I just re-watched it streaming on Max, and my review is the movie is perfect five stars.

When Classy

What is classy when you are rich, but trashy when you are average or poor? I saw this posted on Instagram, and some of the answers are surprising. Not driving, biking, or having a license is another mark of wealth. Having a 4000 dollar Italian racing bike your chauffeur drives you to use is healthy, environmental, and wise. Speaking two languages got many votes. Spa therapy treatments for the celebrity's eccentric exhaustion versus normal therapy another one. The ultra rich also avoid paying taxes, and that seems to take no insults from the mass media which is owned by the wealthy. Know others I have missed? https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/2025/06/23/when-classy/

Protest Week

Lots of action online with the protest week for No Kings Day. Many people are out and about normally not the type to protest. My group cancelled, and I am going to find a new group to join for the next set.

Happy Friday The 13th

Happy Friday The 13th To All! Today I fell and skinned my knee. Darn Friday the 13th I thought! Now the question will haunt me did I randomly fall, or subconsciously make it happen due to knowing it was the 13th? Was I just more aware of my bad luck due to it being Friday the 13th? I tend not to go out on Friday the 13th not because of my own superstition, but because I know some real weirdos are superstitious and go into trouble maker mode on the 13th. Oh well I will just stay away from hockey masks to be on the safe side and read these memes from yourtango.com

Bashing Call

Protesters hearing the call for justice are being bashed down this week. I joined several Feminist Alliance groups online to protest against Trump this week. Unfortunately I had to go to the hospital twice, and protesters were being bashed down super hard so I had to cancel going. Violation of the right of free speech is being tossed around like a frisbee this week in the USA. I got an e-bike because my family worked travel jobs when I was a kid, and I saw people riding folding e-bikes to clean well funded public transportation in other countries all the time. We have been completely fooled in the United States to think of well funded public transportation, schools, rights, and healthcare must be impossible dreams as poorer countries already have them daily.

Record Bike

I was feeling so much better today I set a record for my longest bike ride on the Strava app. The new bike is working great! I am glad I finally have a working bike as the weather is good enough for it. I have a ton of night school research homework to do, and having transportation to the library for homework is a much needed school tool for productivity.

Single Ladies

I am one of the single ladies, and have not even had a cheek kiss in three years. This month marks the three year point, and this made me upgrade my dating profiles to premium. I have had many long term dating relationships before, and have been married and divorced. I can have long term relationships, but the jerks of Virginia THEY have been dumping ME. This is why I am only looking for dinners in the Maryland area, and I have fully given up on dating in the Virginia area. No I will not meet people alone at houses, and only crowded well lit areas with security are okay for dinner in modern day. I want friends and maybe more not wallet theft.

Back To Bike

At long last I can bike again, and biked a three mile ride. I am going to keep Pine Sol and hand sanitizer on me every second of the day this summer as I do NOT want to deal with that crap one more time. I had a flu shot at Walgreens just before summer, but that helped nothing at all. I labeled my first return ride the feeling better ride, and it is way better to not feel horribly sick. Now if I could just do something about not having a date, boyfriend, or even a kiss on the face in three years as of this month which I completely hate some real problems could get solved. I went to Planned Parenthood recently, and all tests showed I was healthy and fine. I guess I have to go to towns with a real music scene to meet people which this state has none of at all.

Day Off

Day Off

Better Days

All the heaven saints made antibiotics, and after taking them I am much better. Thanks to all the people who wished for me to "get well soon" when I was sick. As a substitute teacher I work at the desks of the sickest teachers in the district, and this leaves me constantly extra sick. This is just one of the reasons I am going to night school online to NOT be a substitute teacher anymore. I have a million plans for summer, but being trapped in bed was not one of them. 

https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/2025/06/03/better-days/

Bike Irony

I finally got money for an ebike, and ordered the dream ebike! I ordered it, but cannot ride it due to being sick. I feel like the man in the Twilight Zone episode with broken glasses that cannot read in a library. I even bought new tail lights, and a bike Garmin and Sunny heart monitor for it. Not only do I want more fitness experience, but the ebike is useful as gas free transportation. Bikes do not cause joint damage like jogging, and studies show bike use prevents cancer and heart disease. I love camping, and it fits in an RV better than a big non-folding bike. Every entertainment district is making car parking costs what feels emotional like 1 million dollars, and a good ebike can cut down on parking and Uber fees so that I can go to music concerts more without using a car near downtown. I have had the picture of this bike on my wall for months. Buying it now helps me avoid nightmare tariffs and fees. At University in New Orleans I used to bus and bike everywhere to see concerts. The bike is so close but so far away!

https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/2025/06/01/irony-bike/

Super Sick

So sick with bronchitis. I finally got a doctor's prescription for antibiotics as the first doctor refused to prescribe them leaving me in agony days longer. So many doctors are afraid to over prescribe antibiotics they now don't even properly prescribe antibiotics without a battle. My podcast usually starts up again in summer reviewing books, but I am too sick to even read right now. It will be on hiatus longer.

Bad Cold 2

I had to go to the emergency room I was so sick this week. This time it was not COVID even though I had COVID19 a month ago the emergency room verified. I am thinking of filing a complaint as the person sticking me for blood tests did such a bad job there were pools of blood everywhere. They did a hand sick for no reason, and kept the needle in hours longer than needed then would not give me antibiotics I requested. Doctors so fear over use of antibiotics they don't even respect appropriate use anymore. At least they did give me the medicine I needed by the end. I know they were crowded and understaffed, but that was strange.

Yearly Note

It is time for my yearly remembrance note honoring my father lieutenant colonel Neil Menzies for Memorial Day. He died when I was a child of his military combat wounds, and it caused hardships for my family. He is the man in the picture below, and I am the baby. The toll of war has many price tags on the soul.

Show Take 2

Note on Assemblage 23: They fixed the ticket issue and gave me a refund on the second ticket! Yes I was stuck hunting for parking forever, and missed many songs. But I love Assemblage 23 shows no matter what happens, and I am glad they had the great taste to put on an amazing show. The first time I saw them I was in San Antonio, and the fire department almost shut the venue down for overselling tickets. Something weird always happens at shows close to selling out. My review is the show was still great.

2025 Happy Graduation Alexandria Menzies

Here are the Top Videos from Alexandria Menzies' University Graduation from Maryland Washington last week. She finished classes in 2024, but she they let her walk across the stage this month in May 2025. People gave me a lot of crap for going out to wild concerts as a young woman, but if I did not love music a brainy University graduate would never have been born.

Happy Bike Month!

Happy National Bike Month! Some day in the next year I will upgrade back to an electric bike. For now I am using non-electrical. To celebrate I am watching Murder She Wrote streaming on the Roku channel because she is on a bicycle so much I am starting to think it was sponsored by bicycle manufacturing. It suggests that is how you survive to become an attractive older woman by being on a bicycle all the time. My review is the show is hilarious.

Graduation Pre-Party

I am at a graduation pre-party for Alexandria Menzies in Fredericksburg, VA today. We went to Cracker Barrel and Quality Inn. Cracker Barrel is really giving away free onion fries if you download the app and start an account at dinner. We ate some, and it was great.

Hacked Chapter 2

I got hacked this week, and can't be reached well. Turns out there's things called RAT viruses called Remote Access Trojan computer viruses. It is why you don't want to click on strange e-mail links, and strange text messages links, but also they can do Remote Access over the phone in a call as well. Thanks to all the people who called, and mailed me many repair fix ideas. Unfortunately revoking access, reinstalled Windows, and returns to default settings all did not work, my computer is still crashed, and I am going to be offline on my computer a bit. The scammers are evil at making scams seem realistic, and faked being trusted workers at my school. I will never trust workers claiming to be my school again no matter how trustworthy they claim to be as some of them are disgruntled human sewage. I will change all my passwords this week in addition.

*Note it was not fake workers pretending to be University of Phoenix. It was their real workers, called from their real hotline on their real logged in website that gained remote access, and put 15 spyware viruses on my computer crashing it which virus protection had marked clean right before the call.

Phoenix Computer Crash

A University of Phoenix worker crashed my computer yesterday. Any recommendations on how to get control back? A female in the financial department demanded to have remote control over my computer. There was no task that remote control was needed for in her directions for signing online student loan papers so it seemed odd to me. I have taken University computer use classes in Louisiana where the teacher said never give remote control of your computer to a help desk caller it will crash your computer. Yet I wanted my loans signed fast so I stupidly agreed. Bam, the computer crashed right after the call. It never worked again. It was working perfectly before the call. I had a paper due that night and had to write it on Google documents on my phone. Often I use the library computers 2 miles from my house for home work what if she had crashed a government library computer? A word of advice to anyone online reading this people working at phone help support desks are often petty and vengeful; they will try to crash people's computers remotely, and you should never agree to remote control. Not only do I use my computer for school, but also I use it to get jobs at work. Luckily I had several relatives agree to loan me an extra computer, and the library nearby can transfer text from my tablet and phone into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents. How do I get it working again the computer was new?

Baby Chickens

Today was a baby chicken day at Motoaca High. I am a teacher there many times a year, and some of the science projects had the life cycle of chickens on display. The cuteness was making my eyes burst.

My friend from school Eugene finally went home after having a good visit. It is really strange seeing friends you made in your school years later in life.

Tax Day Blues

Just a couple days from the April 15 tax due day in the US, and tempers are still flaring about money all around. The worst part about paying into taxes for some is knowing many don't feel the burden as much.

Off It

At long last the doctor's office note says I am off quarantine. This is my third case of COVID, but my vaccine injections have always been current. My last vaccine was less than two months ago. The science on the shots is glitchy at best. 

https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/2025/04/02/off-quarantine/

Bad Day

I got COVID last week, and doctors verified it in the St Francis Emergency room today. I got super sick last week after biking a week ago, and it got worse instead of better. At first I thought it was really bad allergies, but it was not. COVID may not be in the news anymore, but it is still out there.

New Rack

I got a new bicycle rack this weekend for bike camping in DC. I have collected toy panda bears since I was a little kid, and at long last real ones are nearby at the Zoo. I'd better see them quickly before some weird political fight sends them away again for good. I also plan to bring one million gallons of anti mosquito lights, nets, and spray because yes I have camped in Virginia before and they have the "no see them" near-invisible breed of mosquito.

https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/2025/03/25/2025-new-bike-rack/

New Rack New Travel

Good news as I got a new bicycle rack and invited to go to DC travel. The next few weekends I will be going away on extra long trips to DC and Maryland towns to stay at friends houses and camping. I have seen nothing but a horrible toilet for nightlife in middle Virginia, but I have a car and can get away so it all works out. Sometimes you have to have a bad weekend to remind you of how great the good ones are. Thank heavens for good concerts, camping, bike trails, and bike groups in the area or my eyeballs would explode with boredom.

Toilet Dumpster

Richmond, VA night life is a toilet dumpster of pain. Every social spot is the ugliest sewage pit I have ever seen. I thank all the gods in all the heavens in my childhood I lived in better towns like Austin and New Orleans, and so know to flee away from the human garbage that is all I have seen near Richmond. My life is instantly better the second I go away from the town, and my every goal is centered around moving FAR away from Richmond, VA. I saw a nice webpage showing a fun looking night spot near Richmond, and tried it tonight. It was all Photoshop. The place was so ugly it made me want to vomit within seconds. I could not even go in it was ugly just walking near the window. It was a real dumpster fire.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Weekend. I had to go to 4 stores to find Saint Patrick's Day cookies. The least celebrated holiday this year.

Anne's Birthday

Happy Birthday to Anne Brockett! She is having the landmark birthday party for her 80th today. This is why I had to drive around to the airport so much this week. It was for the many trips for our out of town family. We had many restaurant dinners for both Mexican fajitas, and also Chinese food. Tonight was one of the cake parties with candles. The clean up will be wild.

Top posters of the week at places I work for Chesterfield Schools. I started teaching there in 2019.

First Month Phoenix

I made all A grades in my first month as a University of Phoenix Master's Degree student in the Masters of Education program. I have been planning on enrolling for years, but my student loans were blocked. Also it is intimidating going to school as an adult, and juggling my teaching day job with night school. This is why I went to online school as it is organized well for working adults. Thankfully, the conflict is resolved and school is going well this month. I enjoy having real challenges for the year.

https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/2025/03/02/first-month-phoenix/

All A Grades

I made all A grades at my University Night School classes this week. I am trying to keep up the winning streak so there will be no weekly podcasts on my WordPress blog.
