The V.A. Is Screwing Over Veterans – The Daily Show with Trevor Noah (Video Clip) | Comedy Central
Language alert- it’s the Comedy channel!
Am I the only one?
Not my idea of fun.
I know the answer. It’s always yes, you are! I should stop asking….but
Cleaning my apartment today, I was trying to get that wall under the cupboard, you know the one that your trash can sits up against? I’m reaching with a damp rag of cleaner and cannot reach the bottom. Basically I’m standing on my head with one hand gripping the wc so I don’t actually fall on my head…laugh…it’s been done…and I think, does everyone have this problem that cleans their own homes? Or do you ignore it, hire someone, or bribe a kid? The kids around me are older and up to my old tricks, they don’t fall for bribes. I miss those days.
Note the hose and pouf slippers!
Moving on to dusting, probably second hated chore under mopping. I like pine cones. I keep them around all year. I also love birds. I combined these two collections on a large metal tray, never realizing what a pita it is to clean.
Then there’s this tile in the bathroom. White with mottled gray. I say tile because that’s what they called it when I moved in. It’s really thick linoleum type stuff and it resists all cleaning products. I haven’t tried pouring on full-steam-ahead liquid bleach, but I doubt that would even work. There are gray stains of footprints that have been there since I moved in. My apartment was brand new when I moved here. Since they are on either side of the commode, I figure some construction guy made an imprint while using the facilities. I use bleach cleaner in the bathroom for sanitation reasons of course, but nothing budges these footprints.
An update on my dish account: Three weeks ago they canceled the account so I’ve had no tv reception which is not a big loss. 75 dollars of my rent is mandatory tv hookup, so that’s the only thing that maddens me. I was told they would send a basic unit that comes with the apt and an empty box to send the old one in. Still have received neither item. It’s a back and forth between he said he said with the apt people and dish. So I gave up. When I’m steeled enough to attempt another 45 min hold time I’ll call back.
I have no idea what this is about. Questions: Where is it plugged in? Why would you do it outside under a tree?
I guess this was a no worm day, but my mini world is sparkling!
FOWC: Classified
When it comes to you
I can’t be denied
That rare smile
I live to eye
Your happiness seems too rare
I’m by your side because I care
A friend, a lover, in you I spied
Our relationship can’t be classified.

MLMM Tale Weaver #199
She walked around, hands on her hips, surveying her husband’s situation. After assessing his position, she clicked her tongue. “I knew this would happen one of these days. . .stuck, aren’t you? Or are you playing kissy face with the dog?
Her husband Joe was the friendly, accommodating type, never letting anything outwardly bother him. This afternoon he was trying to coax the family dog out of her doghouse. The elderly dog had holed up in her house the entire day and Joe was concerned.
“Well? What do you have to say for yourself? Are you staying there all night?”
“Poppy’s sick, I think, June. She hasn’t come out of her bed all day. You know she’s old.”
“Yes, that’s why I told you she needs to be put down. The kids are gone and I’m sick of her making messes.”
Joe backed out of the doghouse and stood to confront June. “You know, June, sometimes I think your emotions are so shut off since the kids left that you have no compassion at all.”
“I’m fine, and you, Joe are just too open to your feelings, always have been. The dog needs to go!”
Joe went into the house and picked some treats and a hunk of cheese to take to Poppy. He then made an appointment with the veterinarian. Poppy had been a sweet faithful companion to the family, even June, who ignored her completely. It was time to reciprocate.

MLMM Photo Challenge #240
Is this the way the breeze blows
Only one direction, to the right
Are we forever to endure this wind
This wave that tries to control our lives
We can fight against it, write songs, hold signs
But you can see
The damage has already been done.

FOWC:Trail
Now, this is a trail! The continental divide going through Colorado is a sight to behold. It is fascinating to see the flora and fauna change as you rise higher and higher on Trail Ridge Road.

REBLOG: Leaf and Twig, gotta love it!
Word of the Day: Camaraderie
A very nice word for any day, especially here on WP. Writing a blog exposes yourself to others, and opens the door to friendships all over the world. It’s much more friendly and giving than social media such as FB and Twitter. You may use a prompt of any kind, or just express your opinions, ideas, and open yourself up to others. You can display photographs, poetry, prose, cartoons–all your choice.
Camaraderie, yup, that’s what it’s all about, folks. Thank you to all. I appreciate your reading and comments are the favorite of us all. ☺️ It’s feedback which we all need from our contacts here.

Last days of autumn
Fields are barren of their crops
Dark trees, lighter skies
