The Bag Lady

Questions this week are based on a comment from Marilyn Armstrong

1.  Do you watch black and white movies? I have but not lately. I rarely watch tv anymore.

2. Did you date your brother’s/sister’s friends? No, they were much older.

3. Did your mother ever wear high heels? Sure.

4. Can you remember the washing powder your mother used for the laundry? No. I remember lye soap.

Gratitude: I am grateful for a new friendship.

Never be afraid to tell someone you love them.

No bindings
No heavy blankets
My consciousness
In endless windings
Eyes drooping under pressure
No dream state or comforting prayer
Drapes closed, even darkness
These thoughts cannot harness
I only want to sleep
Sadness wants into creep
I need a change
Bring the light

The internet stopped. It’s been very slow. I looked at the panel, saw switches in rows. I flicked a few that had no lights. They refused to move, were really tight! Well guess I’m done surfing for tonight!

Breaking the bonds of inertia, Joe raised his arm holding an empty beer glass, an apparent signal to his friend, Nick who just got home. “Where ya been, Nick?”

“Well what’s happening right now is, I’m ready for another beer, so how bout it?” Nick sighed and went to the fridge.

Easy Peasy Writes

I was brought up to respect authority—police, doctors, elders, teachers, including our government; the president, vice president, and members of congress. It is incredible to me to see, hear and read what supposedly respected men and women in the Supreme Court are doing. Some are controlled by Donald Trump who appointed three conservatives, making the court no longer a biased free court. According to historical facts, SCOTUS was never intended to be apolitical, a sad fact in my opinion. I always believed, naively, that the term “judge” as a person, should be honest, fair and unbiased. We as a nation have become victims of an ultra conservative court, ignoring the basic tenets our country was framed on.
