@iqrafatma1278 I suggest a duel and the survivor can decide.

The correct term for this woman is “Mom.”

What is the correct term for a woman whose house is like this...

[Catherine Mulcahey @Fclatty]

@BhattiLaib9960 I feel sorry for you if you have more than two legs. I know some people who only have one and are getting along just fine. Most of us have two.

[Catherine Mulcahey @Fclatty]

We know every man is bigger, stronger, faster, more resilient, and probably smarter than every woman.

⭐️THIS is a GREAT read ⭐️

I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!”

Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes.

And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it.

Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner.

Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes.

And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush.

When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived.

The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story.

Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent.
Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why.

Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work.

They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on.

So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard.

Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week.

It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle.

Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth.

Report her to your state or local agency for elderly people. Ask them to take her into protective custody for her own good. She will appreciate your concern

In seventh grade, I got a ride to school every day in an Edsel. A pink Edsel!

@jaredlholt You seem intelligent. Why are you expecting choices that are not insanely weird?

[Catherine Mulcahey @Fclatty]

@RonFilipkowski Income and available time change for people I’d think putting out important stories once in a while without a paywall would be an advertising expense. People who have never read CNN or NYT or WSJ or any of the paywall-protected media might become subscribers

@ronsterd89 It’s not like the children’s menu in restaurants. You’re allowed to buy children’s shampoo for yourself.

@todayyearsold I don’t think it made people thirsty for Pepsi.

I believe Donald’s mental acuity is the same as it has been for a very long time.

@maher841195881 @Her_Nonymous_D A lot of people thought Ted Bundy was good looking.

[Catherine Mulcahey @Fclatty]

@Her_Nonymous_D I’m old and slightly disabled. Strangers often offer to help me get the walker in and out of my car and I’m usually grateful. Sometimes someone seems a little off and I just tell them I’ve got it. But I don’t keep doing anything with the walker until they go away.

[Catherine Mulcahey @Fclatty]

@covie_93 I get injections and infusions frequently, sometimes on the back of my hand. I never get bruises that look like that. I’m older than Donald and have less fat on my hands. Do you think they might be lying? I would be shocked.
