Hi teal; the prettiest cobalt blue are those old Milk of Magnesia bottles.I like that color too. I have a neighbor who calls herself a witch of some sort, and has flown up to Salem Mass. a couple of times to meet other witches. You and Ed are so cute (yes cute) I love hearing about your interactions.
It's a low down bastard who will beat his wife and have her live in fear. I'd like to take a 2x4 to him myself. Once when I was working in an emergency room of a county hospital, the same little black lady came in every weekend, having been beaten by her husband. Crying, with black eyes and bruises. Every single weekend.I was so incensed I told her "I wouldn't put up with that sh*t." She said what can I do? I was only half joking when I said I'd shoot the sob. So next weekend, HE comes in--she had shot him in his leg next to his privates.I saw her in the store weeks later, she was smiling. She was still with him, but he hadn't touched her since she'd winged him. Served him right.
Swapping and swinging, whatever name it goes by, is amoral, immoral and destructive to male/female and family relationships. Of course there's a "male bias." This lifestyle appeals to men--but what's in it for the women? Are they simply functioning as unpaid prostitutes? Ultimately, swinging can only be destructive to a person, men and women, who see each other as body parts to be titillated. Marriage is cleaving to each other.
Lordy lordy! Wistful thinking darlin'. What women really want: A man who'll take car of the car, mow the grass, cry at girlie movies, bring chocolates and flowers for no reason, kiss you even when you have a cold, nuzzle and hug and not expect sex with every encounter, change a diaper, work and make a living and stay true to his woman. Those are just a few.
Have seen a few straggly bees around this spring--not many. The cost of food is really gonna go thru the roof when plants have to be pollinated by hand.
They should have kept the mothers and children together, and removed the men! And after getting every one of them out, they should be forbidden to have contact with the females ever again. And, are these men with multiple wives working to support them? It takes a lot of money to feed and clothe that many children--bet welfare takes care of the whole bunch.
I love that blue spinel--but excuse my ignorance--what the heck is a honu?
Lucky woman to have a cute butt to pinch--no wonder you're feelin' happy at work!
Ehjoyed those character sketches of the patients; my heart goes out to them..some people in nursing homes never get a visitor. Pets give unconditional love--your kind heart--and Bella's-- are doing s good thing.
For a proud woman like your mother to grdually lose a grip on things is tragic. She sounds like she may also be depressed--is she on med for that? (PS sometimes medical personnel give elderly people so many drugs it causes problems--the elderly are very sensitive to combinations of various drugs.)
Okay Florence Nightingale (the saint of nurses)! How could a man resist chicken soup and a woman willing to stick by her man! (PS I read in the paper a collector was cleaning a Civil War cannon ball he had dug up--(all of 140 years old) and it exploded. Who would have imagine it could still do that?
Hi teal, my dial up computer won't let me do the You Tube thing, and I hear two or three words before it's broken off over and over. I don't even try that anymore. So glad the Ho-medic thingy helped you, I'm gonna check that out. Due to crumbly spinal bones, I have this God-awful arm pain more and more frequently. Without a masseuse (sp?) I rub my back against a door frame like an old horse scratching his back. I've even tried whacking upper back and neck with a hammer--ANYTHING to get relief.
The bad English was so comical! Can you believe some people actually fall for this stuff? I just finished reading an Ann Rule book and included was the true background story of Mary Winkler, (Who killed her preacher husband.)She had fallen for one of these schemes and mailed the guy in Africa money to cover "expenses." They sent her a check that bounced, and the bank wanted to see she and her husband about it--Mary shot her hubby the morning they were supposed to go to the bank.
Jeri, that's just the point--I see the stars and am a very spiritual person--but I also know what's under the stars too. The stark day to day existence of fellow human beings, shouldn't come down to "getting over it" and blocking out the reality of what's out there in our society. That's not looking down--that's seeing things as they really are. That doesn't mean brooding about it. It's attitudes like that that of ignoring the plight of fellow human beings that impelled the have nots into the French Revolution and the peasants uprising against the Russian Czars. By the way, I am known as a caring giving person and well thought of here in my neck of the woods.
