... to remember that nothing is pure.

The dots have a very important reminder for us.



Replace emotion with determination.

I'm in phase 'D' - disgusted, disheartened, disillusioned, depressed. Toss in some anger and anxiety, and it's an exhausting mix.

If I didn't have the kid and kitcats to feed, I'd go to bed and stay there.

I don't have kids, but I have a dog, and a semi-ferral cat I keep going for. My sister always says hey what about me, but her life would be a lot easier if she didn't have to help me.

I guess we just all have to support each other through this.

Also just have to close my eyes and pretend I am in a pretty little cottage in Ireland with loads of pets and books around me, in a world where Trump and men like him don't exist.

For example: We go a long time without a ..."WAR"...

IS THAT GOOD NEWS?.............or 2 countries that are on the edge of ...."Going to War".....and they ........"AVOID WAR"........
.....................................................IS THAT GOOD NEWS? ............WHAT IS .........GOOD NEWS?.........

........................................DO WE CELEBRATE ....GOOD NEWS?.......................WHO IS JONAS SALK?....
.........................................DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID?.................................................MOST DON'T KNOW.........I KNOW

.........................................because I am .........."MATURE"..........another word for ........."OLD"..............

...............................................another one..."Hank Aaron".................do you know who he was?........or

..............................................."Buffalo Bob"???............................... any idea on who he was?................


............................................AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS!.........................................................................

OK ..JUST ONE MORE:,..What happened on this date?...December 17, 1903...................................Do you know???

OK....did the Wright Brothers who flew the first contraption ...know that they would eventually change the face of ..........'
...........................of PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FROM ONE END OF THE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER?....

...............................THAT WASN'T THE PURPOSE OF THAT ............"CONTRAPTION"......................

.................................NOW YOU WOULDN'T TAKE A TRAIN FROM NEW YORK CITY TO LOS ANGLALES .......YOU
.................................TAKE A PLANE.??? IS THAT CORRECT??.............A PLANE ...........IN 4 HOUR OR 5...IS THAT RIGHT?

a baseball legend who did a lot to break the color barrier, that great advances have been made. I did learn that. I understand and appreciate that.

Maybe my over emotional state is preventing me from clearly stating what is really frustrating me. I think being too optimistic has just as many pitfalls as being too pessimistic.

My cousin saw a girl in his class get raped by a priest, and when he told adults they said to him a priest wouldn't do that.

In high-school we got told how wonderful and perfect our founding fathers were but didn't get told many owned slaves. That the Civil War was more about economic motives than civil rights. Now DeSantis wants to have children be taught slavery was good for black people.

Good and bad both exist, but how are we supposed to combat the bad stuff, if it's not recognized and pointed out. Yes the Holocaust in Germany was stopped, but the evidence was there that it was happening before anyone actually tried to do anything to stop it. It's like 9/11. The French warned us, Bush ignored them people died, because of arrogance that we were invincible. Russia just ignored the CIA's warnings about the terrorist attack, if they'd listened maybe not all those people would have died.

This is what I fear about the Trump situation. That not enough people are understanding that we cannot just assume he's going to be brought to justice or loose, because we want it too. There needs to be an awareness and preparation for the possibility that the worst could happen, because too much is at stake to just cross our fingers and hope that it won't. But I get scolded every time I voice those fears which come from observation not from current day political pundits.
