Grandma's 5 Questions for 8/9/20
Posted: Sun Aug 09, 2020 8:28 am
1. Name a food/dish/meal from a LOCAL restaurant (NOT chain) within 50 miles of your home that you feel is in the top 25% of foods/dishes/meals you have eaten. Name the restaurant too.
2. Last night I was nervous to go to Navy Pier because of the recent massive wave of "violence" and "criminal activity" in my neighborhood. Sure enough, at 9:36pm there were reports of a fight breaking out on the street two blocks from where I live. At 10:07pm there were reports of shots heard 1 block from where I live. At 11:46pm there were reports of a man being "robbed" 5 blocks from where I live. At 2:04am (I would have been home by then) there were reports of another fight (3 blocks from where I live) in which someone pulled a gun.
Meanwhile, we have Mayor McCheesecrotch Lori Lightweight who freaked out enough to be driven to the lakefront to yell at a bunch of gay white men for congregating without masks nor social distancing.
Sooooo..... Which of the following do you feel should be THEE #1 priority for the Mayor of Chicago to focus on and address?
a) The "pandemic".
b) The massive increase in criminal activity including but not limited to shootings and innocent people getting shot and killed in ALL neighborhoods.
c) Her hair (she went out to get her hair "done" during a "stay at home order").
d) Telling an Alderman his is full of shit, calling the White House Press Secretary Karen and telling her to watch her mouth, and saying fuck you to our President - despite the Alderman, Press Secretary, and President being 100% right in terms of what she felt the need to be disrespectful about.
e) Poverty and Homelessness.
f) Tourism
g) Continuing to make her stupid fucking "memes" and trying to be funny.
h) Keeping her carpet fresh - for her wife.
3. This morning in the elevator.... Beautiful nurse headed to work. Friendly, pleasant, all good.
Except, she looked and seemed to be exhausted. Hung over? My guess is it was a strong possibility.
Should nurses be forced to take breathalyzers before starting their shifts - and if they fail a reasonable "limit" - be sent home?
4. I have neighbors (a married couple) across the hall from me who leave their window/s open probably 24/7/300 (not 365).
If I leave my window/s open, it creates an air current strong enough in which our doors actually rattle.
That's annoying. What's more annoying is that the neighbors keep their window/s open no matter what the weather is. Even if it's 95 degrees with 95% humidity. Because of it, my apartment often becomes warm, humid, and unpleasant. Even if I have the a/c running. I realize everyone has a right to keep their window/s open but it affects my mental and physical health. On a side note, the building has sent numerous emails telling people they must close their windows when not home - due to possible rain/leakage/flooding - which happened to my next door neighbor.
Is it wrong for me to say to them - When you are not in your apartment, not only because of the building requirement/s, but can you please close your window/s - and explain to them how/why it affects me. Yes or no?
5. Think of the entire United States as a whole. Which do you feel is more prevalent - Racism against African Americans or Anti-Semitism against Jews?
