A tribute of a master, just because .

It's time! The political atmosphere is poisonous. People are attacking, killing, and maiming others, not because of war, famine, or pestilence, but because of the political views we hold. We have moved to the point of our politics defining who we will associate with rather than our humanity. We are becoming increasingly a society that is so divided by our political affiliations that the long...

Can you name them all? Some are obvious, because they're labeled, but whatever.   Did you have flashbacks to obscure, publicly rejected, but secretly fun to drive cars? I've owned a couple of these.

My thoughts for today have to do with technological advancements. There's good and bad in technology. People disconnect from reality, not usually a good thing. People can productively work from home, which is usually a good thing.  Yesterday, my city's internet service went down at about 11 am and didn't return for roughly 24 hours. People in my city threw a fit in many instances. I had to...

I've been getting roof quotes for my home and garage. It's a bit daunting. One company wouldn't even give an estimate because of the pitch of my roof; he recommended another place though. I had one estimate so far and it was for about what I would expect, $14,900 and I was guessing it would be about $15K. I've got two more contractors coming Monday for an estimate, but I doubt it will be much...

Time to cleanse home, family and myself.  Remove the negativity and open myself to positivity.  Time for me to once again begin anew & try to be a better person.  Let go of the bitterness, sadness and anger.  Time to be fresh.   I shall try to follow the words on the image posted.  Time to think before hitting the <enter> key or speaking.  Time to let things roll off of my back...

Have you ever had a day or week in which you felt like you were trapped in a Twilight Zone episode? This week, more specifically today more than the other days this week, not only are my dreams really crazy, but EVERYTHING has made me feel like I'm in a Twilight Zone episode. Verbal exchanges, work-related server crashes, my kids actually cleaning up after themselves, the weather going from a...

Je suis réapprendre le français. J'utilise YouTube, “ Learn French with Alexa .”   “Bonjour et beinvenue” is how most of her videos begin. I took French in High School (Freshman year), but that was quite a long time ago. I was actually surprised at how much I actually remembered. I don’t think that I would go through the trouble of relearning French if I didn’t have people to practice with...

I was reading around today and came across this. It is an ongoing advice column that I would normally avoid. The headline caught my attention. My Sister-in-Law Says I’m “a Communist Who Wants to Kill Babies” So I Read it and it seemed all too real. Dear Prudence, My sister-in-law and I have very different political views. Actually, my entire family and I have very different political...

What are your thoughts regarding the so far lameass defense of Donald J Trump in his historic second impeachment trial?

This is short and sweet... Is my household less "American" because we don't watch Football / the Super Bowl? Quite frankly, we don't really watch any sports in my house. On rare occasions, when there's NOTHING else on TV, we will have a baseball game on, but that's pretty rare. We usually find something else to do. I've been to HS football games [my brothers played]. I've been to hockey games...
