I had to laugh at the addition of, “with your hot drinks” on Rory’s first question. . .As soon as the first hot sweet liquid coffee hits my lips. I turn on the kettle and I usually empty the dishwasher while I’m waiting. I’m not a person who can sit and do nothing while waiting for anything. Impatience, anyone?

I am probably too honest, here in the blog, too. If you are asking about life, I am not hurtful, but if asked, I’ll answer honestly.

⁉️ 💯% 🤦🏼‍♀️🙍🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I have no idea. We did have a 45 player on our huge console stereo but I can’t remember my first purchase. The first album my dad purchased when I was in high school, was an instrumental recording of ” Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No 1 in B Flat Minor”. When buying the stereo he told the salesman he would only purchase it if he included the record that was playing as a demo. Deal done.

I see now I completely omitted the last question about noise. I blame this on my lovely new editor of photos on the aforementioned upgrade.🙄😫

Now for my answer to number four, apparently I let it bother me more than I should. I was at dinner a few days ago and the loud voice of one of us was so distracting people were staring. That is annoying, you can only take a close person’s loud voice so long. Yes, just had to sit there being stared at.

Something I did? Probably

Something I said? Definitely

A laugh not appreciated by the crowd?

Jeez did I actually say that out loud?

There’s only so much I can fake

After that it’s my Murphy fate

Maybe I should just isolate

Then no mischief I could make.

Wondering if this karma thing

Will catch up and bring me a sting

Oh well, I think it’s probably much too late for that

I’m incapable of keeping things under my hat.

Frustration number two zillion: last night I found 3 posts from 2016 that would work well for this. One even on the 25th of October…did I copy and save, of course not.

Now searching today I am told there are no posts from 2016, no matter the date. I think Murphy is sitting on my shoulder today. Maybe I should go back to bed and hope for a do over.

A frustrated day with the iPad

I think I may end up going mad

In addition to the upgrade lark

A dog near me with its constant bark

A few weeks of this off and on

I can handle as the norm

But lately it’s a nonstop sound

For the loony bin I am bound

A total of irritants not refrained

Tolerance level sufficiently drained

Call the white coats, they are trained

To handle overloaded, frustrated brains.

You know how I love updates…🤬 I don’t know if it’s the new update for IOS on my Apple iPad or WordPress, but I am tearing my hair out trying to post anything, or add a picture to a post. I wrote Apple asking to remove the upgrade that is driving me crazy. That is sad because I have so enjoyed the ease of my new iPad compared to my old one. Now it’s just irritating. Anyone know how to remove an upgrade?

Trying to write this post, the screen jumps all around, the line of B, I, etc is on top, hiding my words and I can no longer just tap on an icon without having to choose from a menu, which does not include: just give me the damn site!

Unless this changes I may have to just quit, it’s too frustrating.🤯

Grasping a stick, a vine, a leaf, anything. I will hang on, I’ll not let it win. I’m changing my mind, do you hear me? I don’t want to die! Give me the strength to hold on, climb up. I don’t want to end my life here.

I made mistakes, thought I couldn’t take it anymore, but I was wrong. I’m clinging to my life here, are you listening? Give me the strength to crawl back up. I can’t let go, I won’t.

Gerry felt a heavy root, strong enough to pull herself up onto the cliff. Muddy and exhausted, she gazed down at the dark cold water. Did I mean to get so close to the edge, did I really mean to end it all? I need help.

Pumpkins, witches and ghosts oh my!

Trick or treating under moonlit sky

Watch out for the goblins on the street

Don’t smile at everyone you meet

Hold tight to your plastic pumpkin stash

And have fun dancing the monster mash.

The girls were joking with their mother about spirits. The three decided to hold a seance to see if spirits really did exist. Suddenly the room’s door opened. Something seemed to float in. It was only a feeling, nothing visible. Whatever it was, sat in the empty chair between the girls. The girls couldn’t believe their eyes as the table started to rise. They all lifted their hands but the table still rose.

The girls’ mother had unwittingly welcomed a spirit. The room was dark except for a single candle burning on their rising table. They all lifted their hands, but it kept rising. Suddenly the spirit must have left because the table dropped back down. As the table stopped moving, the candle went out.

The adventure into calling spirits was not repeated but the belief was proven. The question still remains, who was the spirit that visited them?

We may stand here gazing at the scope of these giant redwoods, surely a present vision of the hope of eternity. How many centuries have they seen and how many more will they endure? They’ve seen the best and now the worst of us–disregarding nature’s importance.
