The “OMZ, I can’t TAKE this pain has subsided”. The worst day was Wednesday, the second full day after the operation. I’d been released on Tuesday in the afternoon, with bags of pills to take the edge off, manage digestion, and otherwise make home management easier. Fortunately, in a former life, my husband did nurse …

I found this report online, and thought it important enough to link here. This report is from 2018, but the practice of using Federal money from taxpayers to fund terrorism is still an issue. I do hope that the Ag Dept. is one that get audited, and SOON. One likely offshoot of the elimination of …

Who knew? Not me. I had to take a trip to the ER this morning. I’d been coughing uncontrollably for days, leaving me breathless and a little lightheaded. It honestly felt as though I was not able to get any air in. Fortunately, I have a breathing machine, called a nebulizer, that delivers asthma meds …

It’s partly the pain anyone who loves Shakespeare would feel. I attended Lakewood High School, in Lakewood, OH. That was back in the bad old days, when the standard English curriculum was rife with Old Dead White Men. And, probably the most outstanding ODWM of all – William Shakespeare. I was fortunate to be able …

I decided to follow my own advice to others: Stop trying to be everywhere for everyone – follow the directive on airlines, when in crisis, put the mask on YOU first! So, although I know my daughter is missing me, I’m taking care of myself, because: Yes, my husband would like me to fuss over …

Not just personal. National. International. Personally, I’m now waking up without that “OMZ, I have SO much to get done today that is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL!” feeling. See here for some details, and here. Prolonged stress can wreak havoc on your mental and physical well-being. It’s been a long time since I slept soundly, without suddenly …

I found this on The ZMan. I think the term would appeal to many who cannot, WILL not, consider whether the so-called Conservative side would be a better fit for their underlying principles. What I have found is that political labels are remarkably long-lasting. If, as a youth, someone identified with Liberalism/Progressivism/Democratic/Other Labels, they have …

I’m in favor of paper ballots, assuming they have watermarks, AND are numbered. That would provide an audit trail, something very important when tomfoolery is widely suspected. AND, IDs. Must have AND show, in person, when registering, AND when voting. It still won’t stop the voters registered in more than one state. That group includes …

Last year was challenging, mostly for the ungoing health problems of my family. This year is starting out on the wrong foot, too. My husband’s brother, after a long hospitalization and hospice care, died on January 23. It was anticipated, although my husband remained hopeful until that last week. As he and his wife were …

Comments were closed on this post by the time I’d seen it. Hey, it was my anniversary this weekend! No fancy stuff to celebrate, I was battling a respiratory infection. So, not a Whoop-de-doo celebration. Just rest and recuperation. And a lot less online stuff. I used to be a quick up-and-out person in the …

And, we’re just holding our breath, praying that our Official Enemies don’t decide to launch a war. Who are the official enemies? That would be China, North Korea, Iran, along with their lesser allies – those who have not declared themselves publicly, but would be happy to jump onto the train, should they perceive the …

When I offered to help Fran with this blog, I set up a separate email account for it. Then, promptly forgot that I had done so. I reactivated it today, and have been working to take care of business. If you’re having problems with commenting/registration, I’ll be looking into it this week. I can only …

I was catching up on some feeds, and I ran across this – about how information is moving to a “Packetized” format. What is a packet? It’s the organization of some information into a small package/format, that can be quickly disseminated to a wide audience. For example, the news used to be in newspapers, tabloids, …

Here’s a link to some worthy quotes, many of which I had not seen before. It’s been a strange Christmas season, so far. At Thanksgiving, my grandson (taking a semester in Iowa) was diagnosed with pneumonia. The campus was one day away from shutting down, and that included dining services. We all rushed around, sending …

If, as some think, the federal income tax will be abolished, there will be MANY industries affected. Among them include: The entire accounting industry. That portion of what they do for those whose only contact with them is filing taxes once a year will likely just about disappear. If there is no federal income tax, …

On the second, and last count. This is good news for him, and scary news for the rest of NYC. The expectation is that the ‘Peaceful, but Fiery’, Outbursts of Calls for Just-Us will commence by the weekend. Well, the Leftists have to have some time to organize these spontaneous outbursts.

I’m not one to spend a lot of time correcting people. Unless I have personal knowledge to the contrary, or the misstatement/claim/lie is particularly bad, I tend to think Bull$hit, and move on. But this truly irritates me. Vox Populi, one of those “I’m SUCH an Ultra Male, that when I pontificate, don’t even QUESTION …

Knowledge is Power. A little Knowledge is a dangerous thing – which implies that Greater Knowledge is not. Education is the Key to a Good Life. We’ve all heard similar sound bites before – all of them glorify knowledge as the most important aim of humanity. One of the slurs against Christianity is that it …
