I had been feeling sickly for some time now. As an Uber and Lyft driver I’m exposed to a good many people and during my off days when I felt the worst, I kept thinking maybe I’d contracted something from one of my passengers. One one occasion, I had a passenger I’d picked up from a trip to London call me a few days later to let me know she had Covid. I waited a few days, didn’t drive and waited…

It’s a line my sister used on me once when I made some inane comment. Inane to her and in retrospect I remember it infuriating me. I don’t recall what we were arguing about because it happened so long ago, but that line stuck with me. We live in an era where people are spewing half baked ideas all the time. How many times have you heard someone obviously parroting stupidity because they think…

I hate to bring this up and I hope my writing about it doesn’t cause more problems. Did you know that sites with the word “porn” or “sex” in them will generate tons of unwanted solicitations?  Add to that other words that can relate to that but have other uses.  “Nasty” comes to mind, I use that word all the time instead of dirty or messy when it’s very bad.  Then any word relating to body parts…

votefab40.com/2024/yolanda-weber I believe I told you all my story. Fortunately, my lump was found early, but there are countless of women who don’t make it or… don’t try to make it, either because of age or how advanced it was when discovered. What was interesting to me is the psychological journey that accompanied my diagnosis. With any disease, introspection became a part of my…

If I were President, I would listen to the people and focus on what is important. Immigration: A wall would not be necessary.  It is time our borders were more secure. But, There is a process of coming to this country and it should be done legally.  People should petition for their right to stay in this country should they already be here.  They should show themselves to be conscientious…

A friend of mine just posted this on Facebook, sent to her by someone I don’t know, Tom Row. It was too good not to share. Whether he originated it, I don’t know. It really doesn’t matter, because I’m absolutely certain I’m not the only one who has felt the same. By Tom Row – I don’t think anybody should be allowed to graduate from High School until they’ve read one of the most important…

A MAN IN WINTER REVIEWS

I’m certainly looking forward to reading this !

When I was a teen, I was hit on by a married man. He was a guy I’d known in school ( a senior- I was a freshman) and I’d always had a tremendous crush on him. We hadn’t seen each other in several years. I’d moved away and forgotten about him. Suddenly, I find him when I’d gotten a job at the same place. Needless to say, when he showed interest in me, I fell seriously hard. I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS…

A Lovely Father’s Day – in Pictures

Even though I am not a father, I was out enjoying the day. Here’s my day in pictures starting with this father playing in the sand with his little girl. It was a lovely day. Remember sand castles? A breakfast treat This is my Where’s Waldo picture. Look closely and perhaps you’ll see everything I had hoped to capture in this shot. 😊 An artist displays his work on the boardwalk. So many…

I hope like heck, they will read this. What I like and don’t like. This is the city I drive in when I’m in the city. First of all, I want to say, up until recently I’ve loved driving. Unfortunately things have changed. It’s not, for the most part, the people. Yes, on rare occasions I will get a flake and/or an intoxicated person, but overall, my people have been wonderful. Almost always, they…

My Life in Song and Religion

I know my posts tend to be, “woe is me-ish”. but I’d like to hopefully depart from that… sort of. I wish I could insert pictures, but for some reason that hasn’t been working for me of late. Pics seem to want to accumulate at the bottom of the post. I’d like to change my site photo, but I’ve yet to figure how to access that feature as well. So, until I figure out the changes WordPress made two…

Guilt and Broken People

I was reading an article on Quora about a woman who discovered the past of an odd uncle she barely knew.  In going over his belongings after his passing, the family discovered his hidden past.  He had been a victim of  sexual abuse by a priest.  The why of the idiosyncrasies and oddities of this relative came to light.  Her putting the pieces together after going through his stuff was a feat in…

I want to dedicate this post to my granddaughter’s love, Benjamin Polson, who died January 13 when the roof of a home he and two other firefighters in St. Louis, had gone into collapsed. The other two sustained injuries, but survived. He was only 33 years old. I wish, I could have met him, since I always felt he was instrumental in impacting my granddaughter’s life in a positive way. Every day,…

Living in the Shadows

I got to talking to a friend of mine who was having difficulty coming into her own. Like myself, I believe this person selects partners that though may be verbally encouraging, are in fact enablers. I have felt that way on more than one occasion. Then I thought of this one couple in particular, but I’ve seen it in others as well, who had, what appeared to be the same level of fame or success in…

Do Overs and What If’s (Is it Fate?)

This is a post I started two years ago. I was in a contemplative mood apparently and to be honest, I have no idea where I intended to take it or where it could have gone, <big smile> but here it is. Photo by Ketut Subiyanto on Pexels.com What if I had my life to do over again, would I find myself in a different time and place or would I be where I am today as an inevitability of FATE?  My…
