Here are this week’s questions:

1. Who is your oldest living relative (aunt, grandparent etc)? My brother-in-law.

2. How often do you visit them or is distance a factor? It’s been years but they have visited me.

3. Have any of your family lived to be 100? No.

4. Would you like to celebrate your 100th birthday? What a question!

Gratitude: I would be grateful if we did not have a warring planet.

I open my blinds and see blue clear skies and a quiet sunny day, safe and sound in my small apartment but I’m feeling so sad. I know we will be sending more young people out to give their lives. Our supposed “pullout” from Middle East areas was never going to be a solution. I personally think there never will be a solution. These conflicts have been going on forever and even before 9/11 we’ve been in it, never out of it, starting with our huge consumption of oil years ago, where it is and how we get it. Our powerful position in the world, and the convenience and money oil generates promotes my assumption wars over it will never end.

We need to know and think about all of the military personnel stationed outside the US and realize war is and has been ongoing.

JJJ 28 – Congregate (Slight rant here)

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
Congregate, ok I get it
I just wish they would
you know, all those elected persons
sitting ignoring jurisprudence
skewed and paid for at what price
they don’t even treat each other nice
so when are they going to do their job
instead of acting the first-grader mob remembering it’s for US they work
and stop acting like loud mouthed jerks

The Sunday Whirl

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
The mouse penetrates the maze and the red glow appears on the monitor. The curious creature prowls ahead, slowly stepping and peeks around the corner. The hard edges seem to soften as the drip of the scientist’s new concoction enters the tiny one’s bloodstream. The mouse, however is not the frail animal to be treated crudely and takes an impetuous leap to the top of the maze structure. The scientist sighs, as once again he has underestimated the small mouse who is now staring back at his captor.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt – The USA

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
It seems to me these days turmoil is becoming the “norm”. Everyone is intentionally stirred up into frenzies and acts upon poor information, bad advice and overpowering political influence. This phenomena travels around like a sneaking predator, eagerly consuming even the most temperate minds. My personal opinion is this has increased since election 2016.
