Year: 2021

So I feel better this Sunday morning…


Kinda feel better after getting the realization that I did not have Covid-19. Sveta and I are very careful, but after having so many people we know die from Covid-19, you get nervous at times…

We received a painting yesterday from a friend of Sveta. Actually a painting sent by his wife to be exact, for he (friend) is no longer with us….Covid-19 took him several months ago…

Received yesterday…

Interesting painting and we have another one from the same painter….I am not sure why we received it and the exact driving reasons why we got it, but….we have it and I hung it last night….the painting is from and by the dad of the wife of the friend of Svetochka whom just died from Covid-19…

The whole family got Covid-19, one died, two are basically semi-bedridden for a very longtime, one (the painter/dad) has given up on life and refuses to ever get up again, and several more recovered. I do not know how extensive the whole family is….but it whooped the family badly…

This is the first one we received years ago…

Painted by the gentleman (painter mentioned above) and thus, a touch of his soul is available in the work he does…

I like them and we are very glad that we are the recipients of some of his work…

I hope he recovers and paints more, as we like his paintings very much…

Guess I gonna have to take a Covid Test today…


Running fever last night, had a soar throat for several days and feeling like crap most of the time…

Better check it out and make sure that I do not have the Queen Omicron or King Covid-19…

All Hail Queen Omicron…

Also going to be bitter cold for the next few days. Talking about getting down in the -30’s C and that will be no fun for Muscovite’s. Moscow is balmy compared to the Tiny Russian Village at winter time…

I have a SweetPea…

1. Remember to take covid test today!
2. Be extra Grumpy!
3. Drink extra coffee!
4. Hug my SweetPea!

There, that covers that…

Update: So I took the test and am okay. But still running a 37.5 fever and feel like poop…

One line at top (C) okay. If line appears top and bottom (C & T)? Not okay!

Could you even imagine the implosion in the USA if rates were as high as Russia’s?


It is called having tools to work with to help when times get rough…

MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/. The Bank of Russia raised its key rate for the seventh time in a row, this time by 1 percentage point to 8.5% per annum, the regulator reported following a meeting of the Board of Directors.

And in the USA it is? (Below)

The current federal reserve interest rate, or federal funds rate, is 0% to 0.25% as of March 16, 2020. The federal reserve ordered two emergency decreases to the benchmark interest rate in March 2020 in response to the economic impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. On March 3, it was cut to 1.00% to 1.25%, and then again to 0% to 0.25% on March 16.

The interest payment alone on the debt would critically crush & finish the USA, all by itself…

Could you even imagine the implosion in the USA if rates were as high as Russia’s? Yet they should be at least this high as in Russia….interest rates are the way that countries cheat the system for a short time at least…but the increase in debt interest is exponentially destructive to the system….and thus, we have cheating going on to kick the can down the road…

Ouch!

And guess who voted against, “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices” at the UN?


The UN General Assembly has finally adopted a resolution condemning Nazism, neo-Nazism and all forms of racism. A bill co-sponsored by Russia. It had 130 votes for it…

The US and Ukraine voted against it…

Did I say, US and Ukraine voted against the bill and just the US and Ukraine voted against the bill?

Hmm….US and Ukraine? What does that tell you?

US and Ukraine?

No one tore it down and that is good…

Gotta feed the babies…

Again Sanctions against Russia by EU…


It gets worse everyday…

I know say the EU, “Lets sanction Russia again and again and again and shoot ourselves in the foot for the hundredth time!”

BRUSSELS, December 16. /TASS/. The European Union is preparing a full set of sanctions against Russia, which will be discussed at the EU summit on Thursday, EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrel told reporters as he arrived at the meeting of leaders of 27 EU states in Brussels.”I cannot tell it (which sanctions in particular – TASS), we are going to discuss it before we have an agreement, but we are preparing a full set of sanctions,” he said.Asked whether EU countries will be able to reach a consensus on the issue, Borrel said: “Yes, this time, yes.”

Never ends and will never end until something Crashes, something Wars, something Explodes, something does whatever something is suppose to do – that these idiots want to have done – and or do – as they do what they do and make no sense to anyone but their own pathetic mental state that they live in…

Starting to look like the world is definitely over run with stupid these days? Maybe it has always been that way?

Yet, if stupid was a crop? We have the “cream of the stupid crop” coming to the surface in abundance these days…

Update: On the next day…

BRUSSELS, December 17. /TASS/. Leaders of the 27 EU member states unanimously agreed to extend economic sanctions against Russia by another six-month period, European Council President Charles Michel told reporters on Friday.

USA: So there, that will show you for not inviting us… (Sandbox brat strikes again!)


Just how pathetic is this? USA politicians are boycotting Olympics that no one had any intention to invite them to in the first place. They were never invited. Would not be invited. Due to the political garbage they would have spread in the first place. The USA has some incredibly stupid government politicians!

“No invitation has been extended to US politicians whatsoever, so this ‘diplomatic boycott’ simply comes out of nowhere. Such a pretentious act is only a political manipulation and a grave distortion of the spirit of the Olympic Charter,” Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the US Liu Pengyu said.

“In fact, no one would care about whether these people come or not, and it has no impact whatsoever on the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics to be successfully held,” Liu Pengyu mentioned.

PS: Talk about breathing a sigh of relief at not having to put up with the spoiled brats!
