Cleverly Disguised as a Responsible Adult

Hello! Welcome to my happy home on the internet! If you’re looking for jokes, memes, and stories, you’ve come to the right place.

I’m the caregiver for my Veteran husband. I’m a bonafide baby boomer, too. I looked in the mirror one day and saw my Mom looking back at me.

DianeEgan.com on Medium

I started writing on Medium.com in 2019 because my therapist isn’t available at 3:00 am on a Saturday night.

Medium.com is an outlet for me to write about my journey as a caregiver for my husband. It’s like the diary I had when I was a teenager, but this time I don’t have to hide it under my mattress!

My Meme Collection

Memes  are good for the soul.

I collect them for lots of reasons. They make me laugh. They make people think. Sometimes they make people think I’m an asshole. I’m okay with that, too.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Feel free to right click, save and share the memes you find on dianeegan.com. If one of them made you smile, remember where you found it.

Jokes

Laughter really is the best medicine. It gets me through bad days when I don’t want to pick up the phone, and call a friend. They have enough problems without listening to my bullshit.

I was nine years old when I told my first joke. I learned it during summer break from Catholic school. I told it to a friend of my Grandma’s when I stayed at her house for part of my vacation..

“Hey. Do you know why they put a fence around the convent?”

“Because when they say ‘nun,’ they mean ‘none.'”

Grandma spit out her beer and tried not to laugh. I didn’t get the punchline until I went to public school years later. I just liked watching adults laugh and spit out their drinks.

Good times…

Politics!

It’s the white elephant in the room. For the record, I’m a No Party Affiliate voter. I don’t believe in party lines. I pick candidates based on their values…period.

That being said, I voted for both Ronald Reagan and George Bush (both of them). When Al Gore lost the Presidential election to George W. Bush in 2000 thanks to Florida’s ballot hanging chad problem, I was okay with that.

My dad, a staunch Democrat in Pennsylvania, was not. A few months after Gore lost the election, the price of gas skyrocketed. Dad told me that it was my fault, because I lived in Florida and we lost the vote for Gore. Yeah…it was not a fun phone call. If he only knew who Mom voted for. Her secret was safe with me!

I didn’t always vote for Republicans. I voted for Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. But, in 2016, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Hillary. I believed Donald Trump’s promise to drain the swamp, and I voted for him.

I waited for his promises to come to fruition. Did Trump drain the swamp? No, he made his own swamp.

Healthcare companies suck billions out of Medicare and Medicaid by double billing and over inflating medical care provided. Pharmaeutical lobbies control Congress to this day. Defense contractors continue to rob the Department of Defense. Nothing changed.

I knew Trump was unhinged after reading his Twitter tweets in February, 2017. His behavior and thought processes became progressively worse.

Trump is incapable of appointing qualified people to head Federal agencies.

He values loyalty over competency. When things go wrong, Trump blames the very people he selected, calling them “stupid, nut jobs,” etc. Trump had a 92% turnover rate during his first administration, and a 45% turnover of his second hires.

That being said, what website wouldn’t be complete without a collection of Donald Trump and Elon Musk memes?
