In the Beginning
Here is how it all began so long ago. I was about five years old then. Now Iām eighty-six years and counting. Once upon a time there was a little girl who looked at the sky and never forgot what she saw. The CallI heard my father calling to us as he hurried in the dark from the barn toward the house. āCome outside,ā he yelled. āEverybody! Come now!āMy mother and my aunt Louise hurried out onā¦

Conspiracy Theories
The Gordian Knot isĀ an ancient mythĀ about a knot that was tied so tight that nobody could unravel it. Looking at this myth from another perspective, there are numerous ways to interpret this dilemma. For example, how can a knot in your shoelace, be undone so that you can thread it through the holes to lace up your shoes? Answer: You pick at it, and pick at it, until it loosens enough for you toā¦

Concern
All over the world, people are concerned about what is happening, to us, to the environment, to our future. Here I quote from an article on Substack: by Dan RatherĀ andĀ Elliot Kirschner āThe United States of America is and always has been an idea more than a place. Yes, we are rooted in our past, but just as importantly, America is about the dreams of our future. I have borne witness to too muchā¦

Terror
In 1970, my husbandās employer transferred us and our two children to Venezuela. We enrolled our seven-year-old son in the English-speaking grade school set up years ago by American companies for the children of expatriates. I was looking for a preschool for our four-year-old-daughter who was clearly bored waiting every day for her brother to come home so that she would have someone to playā¦

Red or Blue, Which are You?
Do you really know what you're voting for? Have you really examined the issues against the values that you personally hold?
Photo by Element5 Digital on Pexels.com I started out as a Republican, because my father was a Republican. Thatās how a lot of us began our first voting experience, right? Then, as time went on, I began to vote for candidates by the way they looked to me and only vaguely because of their message. Much later, in middle age, I became a Democrat because my second husband was a rabid Democrat, andā¦

Thirsty....
Thirstyā¦.
Is being thirsty the same as being driven? Maybe, in some sense it is, but rather than being compelled toward achieving a goal, as ābeing drivenā implies, being thirsty, points more toward longing for something that has not yet been achieved.

Update on: What??? My Hard Drive is Toast?
So I went through the machinations of downloading the installer and trying to get Windows 10 upgraded, only to get the message again and again that it was a corrupt file.
A few weeks ago I got a call from āLindaā at Hewlett-Packard in response to a blog post that I sent to HP Tech Support. She was very sympathetic to my problem and said that HP was willing to repair my non-functioning Spectre laptop after all even though it was out of warranty. I sent it back immediately and got it back almost as fast. It seemed to work ā¦ at least it turned on okay.
The computerā¦

GUNS: Getting Serious....
This customizable weapon now accounts for nearly one in five guns sold in America.
Ā Bullet Wounds by the AR-15 are Different
Heather Sher, a radiologist, describes the path of a low-impact bullet through an organ like the liver as āa linear, thin, grey bullet trackā with ābleeding and some bullet fragments.ā She had seen many such wounds, and unless the bullet passes through a vital organ such as the heart or through the aorta, the victimās life can usually be saved.

ANOTHER Virus???
When a virus becomes ridiculous....
Just when you think you know how to avoid this recent outbreak of flu, weāve learned of another strain!
This new virus apparently has stricken Republicans in Congress.Ā Seems it hit Republicans attending that meeting called by President Trump last week.Ā Fortunately Senator Durbin was immune and able to relate details of the meeting after its conclusion.
Those at the meeting, who were evidentlyā¦

Growing Up ... and Growing Out Of
Growing Up ā¦ and Growing Out Of
Several years ago, I wrote a piece about adult children who could not get along with their elderly parents: Whatās Up with these Middle-Aged Children?Ā Ā This topic resonated with many of my readers, and I understand why. Ā Yet, there is more.
What about the children who were abandoned by their parents? How were they to resolve the relationship with the people who gave birth to them if they neverā¦

What??? My Hard Drive is Toast?
IF this is true, and IF this is known throughout the industry, I should have gotten a different response from HP when I sent my Spectre back to have the motherboard replaced.
A laptop computer that Iāve had for only two years failed, and it costs too much to fix it.
I bought the HP SpectreĀ x 360 Convertable in July of 2015. According to the specs, Windows 10 was pre-loaded, and I would not have to upgrade from Windows 7 as I would have to do on my other two computers. Sounded good, as I needed a new faster computer for work that I had planned. I bought the laptopā¦

Housing by Lottery
Itās no joke. Housing units for low-income elderly are handed out through a lottery!
āYou won the lottery.ā Those were the words a man heard a few months ago when he was notified that he had been awarded an apartment at the Federally subsidized 63-unit Michael J. Fitzgerald housing project on Chicagoās northwest side.
Hundreds had applied for these units from whom only sixty-three applicantsā¦

The Inevitable Facts
All of us want to make America greater than it ever has been.Ā
Before that can happen,we have to agree on a plan of action. We apparently have resources available, but our resources are not bottomless. Some have estimated that the damage to Houston may exceed 100 billion dollars. A similar amount probably will be required to repair Florida.Ā Ā More than 50 inches of rain fell on Houston and thereā¦

After Charlottesville: A Letter to my Children
Iāve written my children a letter every day that Iām away from home.
Ā BY DANIEL BISS AUGUST 15, 2017
Throughout my time in Springfield, Iāve written my children a letter every day that Iām away from home. Itās a little way to stay connected and remind them Iām thinking of them even when Iām somewhere else.
I spent all weekend trying to decide how on earth to talk to my children about the nightmare that unfolded in Charlottesville. So I wrote a letter, and Iā¦
