So I’ve read several accounts of people (or do we call them comrades now?) who object to people hanging lights outside and city tree lighting ceremonies. I know, I know, poor people can’t afford to decorate their houses so it hurts their sensibilities. And the city tree lighting ceremonies, well, everyone who comes to watchContinue reading “Merry Christmas! And a quick question”

On yes. My rant about Socialism and capitalism and confusion. So I watched a video of a lecture given by a young conservative male. A young liberal male in the audience rose to ask a question: Why can’t capitalists agree that businesses should share the profits with their employees? He went on to say thatContinue reading “Let’s see, where was I?”

I don’t consider myself a conspiracy wonk, but I have to admit that cov19d couldn’t have happened at a better time for the haters of this country. (Now I have to type this with one hand because Smaller Black Cat is insisting on sleeping on my left arm.) And as for the why would ChinaContinue reading “Confusion + Covid 19 = Socialism”

Well, my inner happiness project is not coming along very well. My apologies to Buddha. I took a few days to be ever alert to my inner feelings and tried very hard to extract joy. Is it that I just have a depressive personality? I think so and that in turn saps my energy andContinue reading “It must be 5 o’clock somewhere or another way I’ve changed during Covid 19”

…which I rarely do, more like never, he said things, people, and other external things do not bring you happiness, your thoughts do. So today I put that to the test. I got up this morning like usual, hobbled down the stairs on sore feet, made coffee and did the crossword puzzle and cryptogram. OfContinue reading “To paraphrase Buddha…”

I just want to say please Uncle Joe, make it snow for Christmas. If we can still have Christmas. I’m one of those people who is believing that we are about to witness the demise of our country as we know it. Millions upon millions of us think like this. Our Capitalistic Republic is goingContinue reading “Should I or shouldn’t I. That is the question”

How many times does the person you’re talking to look at you like you’re crazy? Ok, maybe that only happens to me, but maybe not. Sometimes you can pick up that they misconstrued what you just said, or they’ll say, “What the hell are you talking about?” But other times they won’t say a word.Continue reading “Just so we both understand…”

One of my very favorite places to visit, New Orleans! Who wouldn’t like it!?! That is a rhetorical question. Ok now, just forget for a moment about all the drinking (there will be a recipe for a drink later though). New Orleans is much more than Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. The history ofContinue reading “Laissez le Bon temps roulette”

Sven came home fishless and my dear friend’s husband came home gooseless. Actually, my husband is allergic to fish but he really enjoys fly fishing, especially with his Son. He also loves talking about it. From years of listening to him, I call fly fishing ‘fishing for the intelligent.’ Sounds like a book that needsContinue reading “What about the fish? And the geese?”

So I guess the US is going full out for socialism (I’m assuming Biden will be named president soon). And actually, we’ve been experiencing socialistic polices for years. Teddy Roosevelt, a republican known as a progressive, and his niece and First Lady, Eleanor pushed for policies that would help people overcome obstacles of life, someContinue reading “I’ll take capitalism, please, with a side of socialism”
