I keep hearing my conservative friends talk about the conspiracy that some new world order is being brought about and has secretly been in work for decades by the liberal 1%.
After listening to this, I can’t help but think – there’s your new world order taking shape … and it’s frightening 😳😬
Just something I was thinking about …
Hope you’re watching this historic event!! After nine long years, we are launching US astronauts on a US vehicle from US soil, right there from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The weather is looking sketchy, so I hope they don’t have to scrub. But if they do, they’ll try again on Saturday!
So I guess we will have a sham of a trial with NO EVIDENCE & NO WITNESSES (as it currently stands) . . . 3 votes on amendments so far. (Yes talking about the impeachment.)
I can only hope if for some reason I am ever on trial, these “justice seekers who swore an oath to this country, its people, and God, to be impartial” (& who will do as their leader bids) control my trial . . . Oh but wait that would never happen, as I am not a dictating monarch. I am the everyday American – you know just your average person . . . probably JUST LIKE YOU. I am not rich, nor do I have people in my back-pocket & kissing my ass. Nor would I want or choose to be like that. I was raised better & I have a conscience!
If you are so sure your leader is innocent, then look at all the evidence – but no, the Republican Party would rather turn a blind eye for partisanship – shameful & disgraceful 🤥
Just something I was thinking about, as I watch this shitshow . . .
(Yes, Sadie has been watching & paying attention 🤨😡🤢)
Sounds like a recipe for disaster … that our tax dollars are paying for 😶

Hey my Blog Buds . . . pretty much done with the house, but have to finish up the garage and the yard, but working it. Hurricane Harvey didn’t keep us down though it’s been a damn long haul back . . . and to say my husband and I are ~t~i~r~e~d~ is an understatement! 😐
I’ve been watching the news and all the shenanigans going on. I could spend all day writing about how bad this all is, but I just don’t have the time or the energy. I’ve been watching a lot of Rachel Maddow lately – I like the way she connects things that seem unconnected.
I’ve started watching CSPAN, too – live and in color! I watched the Brett Kavanaugh hearings — wow, that was a circus & Matt Damon’s SNL’s sketch was damn near spot on LOL 🙂 I watched the Barr hearings, too. I’ve got a date with the Mueller Report – though it’s not my job to read it, as I don’t serve the American public. BUT every Congressperson who has not read it is derelict in their duties.
But I had to comment on this . . .
Though I’ve heard him say those three words before, after his little performance making everyone uncomfortable, I couldn’t help but shake my head in utter disdain . . . this man truly needs help. His abandonment and self-esteem issues, are just so sad and disconcerting, besides the impression it makes and the message it sends to the rest of the world . . . but our late night hosts have plenty to work with.
Anyways, just something I was thinking about it . . . (and wanted to let you know Sadie’s still alive and kickin’ 🙂 I read a few of your blogs here & there, but it’s been far and few between for now.) Hope this finds you all doing well 🙂
Well my blog buds, it’s been about ten of the longest months of my entire life. We were flooded during Hurricane Harvey, losing both cars and 90% of our possessions. Our house, after taking on over 20″ of rain mixed with disgusting sewage and toxic chemicals – and then stewing in it for five days, before it drained off – had to be completely gutted four feet up from the foundation, removing everything structural.
After we were rescued by boat, it was five days before we could get back in the neighborhood. After the flood, what was left of our lives (my 56 years and my husband’s 58 years and our 39 years together) fit in less than a 10 x 10 storage shed. It’s been pretty challenging lately, and I wish I would’ve been writing about it all as we went through it, I just didn’t have the strength. This has probably been the most challenging and overwhelming thing I’ve ever had to deal with.
We are finally back in the house, after living in our kids’ travel trailer for almost five months in our driveway, and our house is actually starting to look like a home again. We have worked hard, especially my husband, as he has been doing most of the work himself. He just finished tiling the kitchen, and the majority of work left consists of tiling one last bathroom (walls and floor), various trim pieces and other miscellaneous stuff, but we are getting close.
Anyway, Sadie is alive and mostly well. I have so missed reading all of your posts!!! More than you’ll ever know!!! I just wanted you to know I haven’t forgotten you, and I’ve been down, but I’m not out 😘
Hope to catch up with you all soon. And yes, I have been keeping up with President Trump’s escapades… and have had plenty to say about them, and so many other things, as well as this whole flood recovery. I’ve just had too much more important stuff going on in my life to be able to focus on writing. Maybe soon . . .
Until then, I hope this finds all of you doing well!
Just something I was thinking about . . . my blog buds!! ❤
I’ve been pretty busy lately. Haven’t even heard Spicer news. And I certainly hadn’t heard about this . . . so had to reblog!
You can’t change stupid or superiority behavior . . . and in this instance it makes you more of a hypocrite . . .

You remember that one company that used to stuff your mailbox full of coasters installation discs every single goddamn day of the week, your only reprieve from the madness being Sunday? Well, America Online finally discovered what it takes to be relevant: apparently Mike Pence uses it.
On Thursday, the Indianapolis Star revealed that not only did the Vice President use private email — something for which Donald Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton, was demonized — but he conducted state business on an insecure, almost-forgotten service that was presumed dead long ago. Unlike Hillary Clinton’s private email server, Pence’s AOL account was hacked.
Clinton was spotted on a flight from Boston to New York on Friday and a passenger managed to catch the very moment the former Secretary of State saw the USA Today headline about Pence’s private email. The passenger sent the photo to friends…

Oh Happy Sunday!!!
I’ve been trying to get back in the saddle and swing, and Song Lyric Sunday is one of my favorite exercises in sharing 🙂 Helen Espinosa hosts this great prompt idea.
I wrote a post for my other blog – Windchimes and Dreamcatchers, and it really got me to thinking. On that platform, I post poetry, fiction, romance, and writing prompts that I don’t think fit the platform of this blog, and usually never anything personal. As I was working on it, I wrote one line that just hit home something fierce 🙂
Helen’s prompt for today is to share a LOVE song in honor of Valentine’s Day (and her upcoming wedding – YAY!!)
I’ve been with my husband going on 40 years. We met when I was 16, he was 18; we got our first apartment when I was 17. Neither of us could wait to get out on our own and live our own lives – together 🙂 Though we didn’t make much money, we managed and still had enough to have quite a bit of fun close to home. We were together about eight years when we decided to start our little family.
Though I couldn’t begin to count all the love songs that have been close to my heart for different reasons at different times, I have a few all-time favorites. I shared a couple of those on my other blog, yeah, I said a couple 😉
As I was writing a line below the video for Sonny & Cher’s I Got You Babe, and listening to the song, I couldn’t help but tear up. This was our song from the very beginning. It wasn’t all that old in 1978, we really were pretty young. But something about when we talked (and when we didn’t), we just knew we were soulmates – and yes I believe in that sort of thing 🙂
It’s just a simple little ditty, some might even say corny now – but it is so much more. So, here it is, the song that probably would be my #1 go-to love song to describe us ❤
I Got You Babe – Performed by Sonny & Cher
They say we’re young and we don’t know
We won’t find out until we grow
Well I don’t know if all that’s true
‘Cause you got me, and baby I got you
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
They say our love won’t pay the rent
Before it’s earned, our money’s all been spent
I guess that’s so, we don’t have a pot
But at least I’m sure of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I’m sad, you’re a clown
And if I get scared, you’re always around
Don’t let them say your hair’s too long
‘Cause I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won’t let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
Anyway, just something I was thinking about . . . my soulmate, our life . . . ❤
[I want to thank Linda Hill for her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt today – Ham.]
Donald Trump is a ham. His ego is so huge, because his self-esteem has to overinflate itself AND be publicly acknowledged to overcome the damage done when he was the only child of five sent away. (Yeah, I threw in a little armchair psychologist there!)
Just yesterday, he ordered 350 more gold-plated Cross pens (made in China) because he has already handed out, after one use I might add, 150. My dad was in the service my entire childhood & the pens they used then & the ones government employees use now are Skilcraft – which by the way are made by blind and disabled Americans here in America. Being somewhat of a pen/pencil connoisseur, I can tell you they write just as a good as a Cross.
When we are trillions in debt, in all honesty, why are we wasting pens? Sometimes tradition has to go by the wayside when times are tough . . . I know this first hand & most recent. Every little thing adds up. I used to work as a purchaser for the government & I also know when you are given a budget & you don’t use it all they reduce your budget the next year – so you are encouraged to spend your money whether you need to that year or not – which is crazy. Think about it – if we all did that, we’d never have anything saved. Just seems so wasteful to me . . .
The President also said the media was an enemy to the people of this country. He only likes media outlets that toot his egotistical horn. How dangerous his statement is – if you don’t feel it . . . it’s dictator-speak. Not unlike that of Stalin and other “leaders” who were destructive and evil in their throne of power.
I am a trained journalist. I fact check (through several different reliable sources) statements of fact that I write about, regardless of my own opinion. I believe in the power of journalism – NOT fake news or alternative facts, but true unbiased fact sharing journalism. There are still true journalists out there reporting the facts, even if you have to seek them out.
So I say again . . . President Trump is a ham, and too much ham will always cause bloat and discomfort and could lead to other more serious issues . . .
Just something I was thinking about . . .
A little piece of me died today . . .
What more can I say . . . All I can do now is pray . . .
Yes, I watched it (well most of it) – the inauguration . . .
Hard to swallow these feelings of consternation . . .
Just something I was thinking about . . .
