Wear a Damn Mask - It's a No-Brainer

Wear a Damn Mask – It’s a No-Brainer

America is full of many thoughtless, selfish people who think their rights, their own perceived rights, are all that matters. I’ve read countless articles explaining the reasons why you should wear a mask. It shouldn’t even be an issue at this point. Wear a damn mask. It’s a no-brainer. To not want to wear one? What a horrible attitude to have against the living, breathing humans around you to…

George Washington - Trump - Racism

George Washington – Trump – Racism

Washington Crossing the Delaware

While reading the news today at Common Dreams, one of the few online sites that prints the unvarnished truth I can trust. I read an article:

Lawmakers Welcome IG Probe Into Violent Police Clearing of Lafayette Square

Peaceful Protesters at Lafayette Park Terrorized by Police to Make way for Trump’s Phony Photo-Op With a Bible

It was about the investigation into…

Doesn't That Just Give You Goosebumps?

Doesn’t That Just Give You Goosebumps?

Texas Governor Greg Abbot opened his mouth and shoved his foot inside. Furious Texans revolt after the governor gets caught on hot mic admitting his reopen order will worsen the pandemic

    If you are a Republican pro-lifer and think women shouldn’t have the right to decide whether to have an abortion, or even choose to learn about contraceptives from their doctor – or think a fetus should have…

I've Been Gone For Awhile. I'm Back

I've Been Gone For Awhile. I'm Back. Life is no longer the same. It moves on, with or without us.

This past year or so has been a hairy time for me with 2 cancer surgeries and a couple broken bones. My arm is currently in a purple cast. I had to let things ride for awhile. Hopefully some of you are still out there.

The tone of this blog will expand because I’m not writing on my other blog and stopped paying the premium fee for the website. I got swallowed up with too much I could reasonably…

The Insanity of Trump

The Insanity of Trump

This was written because of an article I shared on my Facebook. There are millions of people anxiously waiting for the outcome, the next step of what to do – regardless of you are Republican, Democrat or independent. We are watching our country being torn apart. I believe there will be violence because the emotion of hatred is so high for the “other side” no matter what that side is.

As Trump…

Should Unanimous Jury Verdicts Apply to State Criminal Trials?

Should Unanimous Jury Verdicts Apply to State Criminal Trials?

I read something today you should read – before you read what I have written.

http://amylhowe.com/2019/09/30/court-to-consider-whether-right-to-unanimous-jury-verdict-applies-to-state-criminal-trials/

This deeply disturbed me because it was something I was unaware of, as I’m sure many other people are as well. One thing we do know, though, is that black people are disproportionately convicted of…

River Music - part 1 and 2

River Music – part 1 and 2

I have been so busy lately trying to keep up with everything, including my online stores and dealing with an un-cooperative health. I’m going to be putting more on this blog of what I put on the other blog because I’m having trouble keeping both of them taken care of. I used to only have 2 blogs and now it’s much more.

Do you Know What is Killing You?

Do you Know What is Killing You?

Copyright Reuters

I have been writing about Monsanto for about 15 years on various blogs and Facebook pages. I learned about them 20 years ago but was writing online.  I learned about Nestles and boycott any product they make or company they own. Why aren’t you? Do you not know? Why do I?

MYST the Book of Atrus

MYST the Book of Atrus

MYST the book of Atrus by Rand and Robyn Miller

  This had a profound impact on my life in the early 90’s as it did on millions of others, especially women. It was the first computer adventure game that opened the doors for all computer games that came after. It was a phenomenon that had players spellbound, attached to their computers while living in a different world. The prologue to the game…

"Nana, Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People? "

“Nana, Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People? “

  I am honest, with myself and the people around m. I don’t lie. I simply don’t. The words that come out of my mouth and the words I write are true to the best of my ability. I don’t pretend to be something I am not. I don’t think I am always right. I can admit when I’ve been wrong.

No one is perfect. We all make mistakes along the way with good choices and bad choices. Those choices all have…

When the Information Highway Was a Two Lane Road

When the Information Highway Was a Two Lane Road

Before the internet, the information highway was a two lane road. If you didn’t have a chance to learn anything new in the last 15-20 years, where you even begin? If you went back just a few decades the world as we saw it moved at a much slower pace.

Even though Windows 95, with the first “mouse” came into some people’s lives in the 1990’s, the vast majority of homes did not have a computer. It…

Necessary Go Fund Me Campaign

Necessary Go Fund Me Campaign

After I started the Go Fund Me campaign I added two updates and photos that aren’t below. You can go to the campaign using the link below. I’ve tried to keep my issues separate but I can’t anymore.  I’m fighting cancer. I won the first battle with liver cancer with a liver transplant, but the medications I have to take suppresses my immune system so I can’t fight off much of anything. I’ve had…

Take a few moments to relax. Close your eyes and let it transport you. Leave a commen . What do you think?

I had to take a break from working on the store – to work on my music. Oh why can’t I do 6 things at once!!

One Foot After The Other (and Don't Look Back)

One Foot After The Other (and Don’t Look Back)

The only legacy of real value you leave behind when you leave this earth is the effect you had on other people. It is powerful because you can change lives – for the better or for the worse. Affecting someone’s life means they will affect others. Lift them up or drag them down. In that way you live on through others long after you are gone.

What you do, say and think always has a consequence. We…
