Who looks into the mirror Seeing their true selfā Only the delighted child A teenager finds flaws themselves Their supposed friendsā influences critical Adults choose not to see behind their face Seeing only the outward beauty they crave A reflection of their internal desire
āHave a lookā, Joe said to his wife. āIt wonāt be long before the symbol of America as a safe welcoming place will be gone forever.ā āThanks to the climate change deniers and the new administrationā, Sue replied. āToo bad they acted the way they did, now we are all paying for it!ā
Children aside, do you celebrate your birthday/anniversary or is it just a normal day for you? The fam usually does something for me.
Do/did you always give your child a birthday party when they were young? Yes always.
Would you prefer to give your child a party, or take them and a few friends on a special outing? Weāve done both.
If your child was born on Christmas Day (or a few days either side of the 25th), did they have a āhalf birthdayā in June, two presents/celebrations, or something else? One of my granddaughters was born on 12/23 so I send her bday early and Christmas on time.
Gratitude. I am grateful that regular soccer is over and new sessions outside of high school begin.
Joe was beside himself, his smile broadening as he relished seeing the emails from his wife to his best friend, Mike. Joe tricked them into revealing their affair online in a TikTok video. Joe tried to be sad about it but now had proved what he had suspected for months.
āYou donāt need that solventā, Joe complained. āBleach isnāt a necessary level of clean for a simple crumb of bread! I think thereās a fortune to be had in pushing these harsh cleaning products when soap and water will do.ā
The password refused to print on the bank website so it was back to redoing it. Finding a cromulent word for the premium site was an irritating job. Colorful words stumbled into my mind as I repeated the task. It was taking a toll on my fossil brain! Then finally it got into gear and I decided on the word shippo which means tail in Japanese.
My daughter: E-mail: Are you not answering your phone? Sent from my iPhone

I had a late shower, fixed a latte and washed dishes all apparently loud enough to not hear my phone ringing. I sit on my phone in the wheelchair when Iām moving about so sound was muffled. I caused a big panic and on Wednesday weāll get an extra key made for my apartmentājust in caseš
Iāve always had my phone on me since I lived in my old apartment, when I used a scooter instead of a wc most of the time. I fell off the scooter which was heavy and I couldnāt push it away from me in order to get to the phone which was on the bureau so I had to take it apart. After that I could push the smaller pieces aside and I did that old hip exercise we used to do back in the 70s where you scoot along the floor and I was laughing as I did it. I wasnāt hurt but I had to get the phone in order to call someone to come and help me get back up so since then, Iāve always had the phone on me .
All is well and I turned the ringtone upššš„“š
The singe of a summer sunset glimmered in the heat index of high nineties, as I began searching for a particular scarf needed when the air cools. Another hint of my advancing age felt as I straightened up too quickly beside the bureau and scraped my knee on the drawer. The demons of age visit often now.
Years ago I decided to reside near the sea where I could wade in the cerulean shallows with my also aged companion, Jeeves, my Irish wolfhound. The salt water trickles around our feet, and we see the bonfire is already glowing. All the mothers and grandmothers were arriving to celebrate Motherās Day.
Only a trifle irritation as I boarded the train to see where flax and its byproduct bysuss was harvested. My intended destination was across the sea to a Mediterranean area named āthe Fertile Crescentā, but the head of the household said our budget was not that big. The intrinsic value of a flax crop is amazing. It is a lifesaving source of food and the waving fronds suggest an almost biblical image. This fiber has many uses as a good source, such as food, clothing, twine, rope and oil from seeds. Canada, here. Come!
āFlaxseed is one of the oldest crops, having been cultivated since the beginning of civilization.ā
āFlax is produced on about 12 million acres globally with the largest areas of production in Kazakhstan, Russia, Canada and China.ā
āFlaxseed is emerging as an important functional food ingredient because of its rich contents of Ī±-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and fiber. Flaxseed oil, fibers and flax lignans have potential health benefits such as in reduction of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, autoimmune and neurological disorders.ā
