Welcome to my Blog!!

Having an opinion is better than not having a thought of your own.
I have many of both....
Pull up a pew and grab a hot, steaming mug of your choice.

In response to "Oct 6 - Ancient Curses"

Funny about Florida. And I think you did hit on a fact, there.
As for curses, I do curse sometimes, my favorite curse being, "shut up!" Now there is nothing wrong with that curse, except when I say it to inanimate objects. Like this morning, to the Microwave's beeping. As to the bigger kind of curses, I think someone put a curse on my house. Not a week passes that I have to call a repairman for one thing or another.

I hear you. I, too, moved to FL from NY. Although it's been four decades since, it's been, as you so aptly put it, topsy turvy. FL has its many plusses but it isn't the same.

In response to "Oct 5 - October"

That's how I feel since moving to Florida from Tennessee... I lost all sense of season by being here. We usually have "fall in spring" because that's when the live oaks decide to dump all their old crusty leaves. I literally have dead leaves swirling at my feet when I'm supposed to be surrounded by irises and redbuds. Sometimes when I see a flock of geese flying I can't remember if they're supposed to be flying north or south depending on whatever season I've forgotten it is!

It was nice stopping by - I should read your blog more often. Take care!

Sounds like you're describing a typical day for me too. It's still too warm for jeans, too cool for shorts and if I put on long sleeves, it's too warm for that and too cool for short sleeves. Always damned if I do and damned if I don't.

I so agree with your last paragraph. I was an only child and I was quite like your description, there. To this day, I have a mind of my own. Not that it has always been to my benefit, but it is what it is.

Enchantment means different things to each of us. I get this. Thank goodness for our Enchantment.

In response to "Sept 22 - Tupac Shakur"

I wasn't into Tupac Shakur either, but I loved the quote.
And yes, he was probably talking about the underprivileged people of color, but the idea speaks positively to all of us, daring us to rise over difficulties, regardless of our color, background, and stance in life.

So true! And you don't have a split personality. You are multi-faceted.

In response to "Sept 19 - Freedom of Speech"

Nor did Melissa and Mark Hortman, they have children as well not just Kirk.

"I think there are many people, on both sides, that are responsible for stirring the pot and creating a very real, very visceral hatred for anyone who disagrees with their view point. I think it’s dangerous and needs to be called out. And I think the very worrying trend of “fake news-ing” things you don’t want to discuss, threatening journalists who ask tough questions, and even cancelling talk shows is going to make the problem that much worse. When you start censoring the news, what’s seen on TV you start to tread in dangerous water – the type that was wide spread in Germany 1930/40, the type that’s in China and Russia now.

We need platforms that discuss the different viewpoints. We need people who are willing to call out people in power when they say something wrong, stupid or dangerous. Satire and comedy has always been a very powerful tool to do that."

You've hit the nail on the head, censorship is extremely dangerous. What Kimmel said did not harm anyone, he drew attention to the fact there was a lot of finger pointing and the new ballroom focus for the cheeto. The cheeto is weird everyday, why would that offend anyone?

In response to "Sept 19 - Freedom of Speech"

"I am an outsider. I don’t really understand American politics."
I'm in the states and I don't understand it, either. And my opinion doesn't matter, also.
The way I see it, though, it used to be better than this, way back when.
And I learned what Kimmel said from your entry. I don't much watch or care for TV, and the internet is even more iffy.
Then, about Charlie Kirk, yes, no one deserves that. Especially not his two very small children and young wife.
Good entry.
