Are we? I’ve been wondering about it for quite a while. There was so much Biden could have accomplished over the last two years, but his desire for bi-partisan agreements stalemated important issues. The biggest, of course, should have been codifying Roe v. Wade. They still have two months and no effort is being made….
Jen and I recently had an evening dining with a group of couples that we like, respect, and cherish our friendships with. This is sometimes hard when you don’t share religious beliefs, political ideologies, and in some cases just a geographical environmental difference that has shaped our viewpoints. So, we were very careful not to…
Do you have things from your past that you worry about, maybe even worry about it catching up to you? Some might think of an old boyfriend or girlfriend, an ex-spouse, maybe even someone you were just mean to. My worry isn’t about someone, although I have some people that I had less than stellar…
Once upon a time there was younger me. I was able to run, jump, roll and spring up, lift large items, crawl, etc. without a thought other than doing it. These days, I groan, crack, pop, hurt, get cramps, have lost range of motion, getting lung scans every year, keep my pain pills close, and…
On the brink of our president announcing some kind of student loan-debt relief, I’m seeing the conservative viewpoints being plastered all over social media. Many of these folks are true conservatives of the old Republican Party, because the new version doesn’t have any problem creating the highest debt of any administration before it, it just…
I’m 61 years old and I still haven’t figured out this road I’m on. I’ve come to so many crossroads, forks, and Y’s and if I was to have had a road map, I might have to admit that I’m just as lost and haven’t gotten to where I started so many years ago. When…
For the last few weeks, I’ve been making a point of not watching news other than to get local info and the weather. I have to say I have felt better and have been less stressed even though I’ve gotten bits and pieces of the craziness going on. I’m not sure I can keep it…
Twenty-seven school mass shootings in 2022, so far. That would be a horrible number if we were talking about the entire history of the world, but that is just the first half of 2022. When is enough going to be enough and when do we address the issue head on with substantial legislation? Is legislation…
In Texas, if you want work done from a contractor, you’re going to eventually run into folks that are wrapped up in the world of the GOP Far-Way Far-Right-Winged Conspiracy Theorists. They are prime targets, especially the white blue-collared guys. These guys are the uneducated white males, typically, in fear that they could have their…
I’ve been watching many sources of news trying to get a balanced feed of information. I’ve come to the conclusion that near one hundred percent of the people covering events are in agreement. We are in some very strange times, maybe even unprecedented and I think the majority of people are unclear of how to…
