She’d had it sliced away leaving a scar, even nearest and dearest friends were oblivious to her inner sorrow. They knew something had changed in her demeanor, missing her blithe spirit and sudden raucous laugh at their jokes.

Sue was never what you would call the life of the party but she used to let her emotions free in the small group of friends.

Sue met her fateful need of what might be interpreted as enlightenment on a sunny day at the beach. She was mindlessly drawing pictures in the sand with her nephew when approached by a handsome young man. She and her nephew were at once fascinated by tales he told around the images drawn in the sand.

The afternoon led to a too brief encounter and the man disappeared. After she had offered her heart and was dismissed, the operation occurred.

Diet food labels tend to deceive

What is it really, your children receive?

Fake sugar, carbs and chemicals reign

Tired, they don’t gad about, and found lain

With laptops, computers and cel phones all

Hazed in “good” chemicals, and energy falls.

I saw the original as a child, most of the time with my head in my sister’s lap I was so scared. This remake does a good job in my opinion: “War of the Worlds” starring Tom Cruise. Of course everything went dark with a thunderstorm as I was watching 😂

Three branches of government

Myths of power

Spirits run, lost in translation

Growls from ancient bones in graves trickling up from the dead

Hums from the false heard as they pray

Glum birds observe all as they watch and listen from willowy branches

Hope wanes in the breeze.

It is unlikely that anyone would witness the enthusiasm the usually reticent bishop displayed as he loudly relished the hot dog. His presence was obscured by the “Get Your Dogs Here” sign. Mustard and relish, ketchup, and even onion bits trickled down his chin and onto the archaic somber costume bearing his profession. Hardly anyone could blame him because his usual holiday fare was thin beet soup provided by the dour mistress of the convent. It was rumored a myth of fiction but in actuality it was an almost daily occurrence. The stringent menu the mistress supplied was on a budget scale that kept the funds for the convent well in line. It was times like today when the bishop was free to enjoy the “sins of the indulgent”, that helped him cope the rest of the year.

“For all the talent and competition, the league is fighting a bigger battle”

“Active and retired servicemen, contractors, GS civilian, reserve, national guard, and military dependent are all eligible to play as long as they are stationed on their respective bases. All players must show identification to prove location — lest we see some MBA super teams.”

“Now, I know what you might be thinking: military men playing sports ala the infamous Top Gun volleyball scene. And while you’ll find the same camaraderie and fun-loving play, there is much more to this league than just guys getting together on the court.”

“The MBA has worked to promote mental health and suicide prevention within the military community since it was founded in 2017.”

“What a year!” exclaimed the general to his wife who was watching the ball drop in New York’s Time Square. “Gone by so fast, and yet no consequences for our fearless leader who certainly seems fearless the way he keeps promoting lies instead of the truth.”

After moving into the new apartment complex I found I can’t take my trash out to the humongous dumpster myself. It’s not accessible to wheelchairs. The manager said I need to call the office and one of the maintenance guys will take it for me.

I can imagine what a pita they think I am. When she first told me that, I said no way I’m going to call somebody every time I need my trash taken out, but that’s what I have to do. She won’t let me leave it outside my door so I have to wait for them to come, let them in and they pick it up and take it out. I invested in some huge thick construction bags and pile my regular trash bags in it to be taken once a week. They’re so big and thick the trash is well sealed. They’re never filled but you could store a body in them they are so big😱😂. The guys are always nice and say it’s fine, but I feel bad about it.

Really looking into the mirror, the woman saw no regret

A little mole here, a freckle there, and wrinkles around her mouth

Smiling remembering happy times, lifetime’s experience

Far be it for me to downtrod the races

But I’m doing my homework

Looking beyond the faces

The beef-witted noises heard from the dais

Who should we vote for or be complacent?

Holidays just came and went

With no vindication spent

Adjusting their words to suit no masses

Only rich ones in supposedly upper classes

While others strive to show hope

As their powerless seats dangle by rope.
