Still Crazy After All These YearsI am still patriotic, as my parents raised me to be, but it becomes more difficult as times "progress"... I also would still rather live here than anywhere else, all things being relative.
Does Trump have spending tax dollars down to an art? After firing the head of the US statistics – Trump had a photo OP in the Oval office and he had a few of his own statistic charts.

Uncle Sam's Travel PlanI am a veteran of the first Gulf War, so yep, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. I also spent the year before that in Korea. I absolutely loved Korea and still miss it to this day, though I imagine it must have changed a lot since then! It is such a beautiful... (...)
Grrrr, wish I could get going again! I keep adding pictures to my laptop for art inspiration, but I can't seem to get motivated to do any artwork again. I put it on my to do list for the day and wind up not getting around to it. I think I have the curse of expectation. This is the last... (...)

Does this weird anyone else out? I mentioned sheepshead fish before, so I thought I would ask. When swimming here, they actually cluster around you and their markings are really pretty. But that grin! (Apparently their teeth are like that because they consume a lot of shellfish.)
Last night was bittersweetSo our daughter had her last cello lesson at home. Since school is starting there is no longer the need for the lessons. I'm going to miss hearing her play at home. The cello is big and will be hard for her to bring home every night. She will... (...)
Why don't they listenSo I went to get lab work today and I told the tech that no one ever has luck getting blood from my arms and they always have the best luck on my right hand. Well she didn't listen. She tried both arms and couldn't find a vein. Two painful sticks.... (...)

Hall & Oates - She's Gone People who cared about me stopped her from ever contacting me. Family even gave me money to go to Las Vegas with gambling money to get out of my depression

Thanks everyone. It's time for me to log off.Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, is quoted as saying "The two most important days of your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why." Take care of yourself. You're needed.
Self-confidenceI once walked into a room full of strangers, my hands shaking. But instead of hiding, I smiled, stood tall, and spoke up. By the end, people listened—not because I was the loudest, but because I believed in myself.
So, How's It Going?Now that Trump has stripped away your Medicaid, made it impossible to get SNAP (food stamps), imposed tariffs that will cost you an estimated $2,700 a year, you're losing your job! Labor statistics just out show that the unemployment rate among... (...)
