When little boys were raised to grow into immature guys (into old age), not ever into real men. When teenage boys were taught, long before their teens, to mistreat women. When they were shown by the jerks and/or a bad woman before them, that we're just "whores"--. That according to them, we were planted on this earth to service their egos and sexual gratifications.

Surprisingly, this is a wonderful pie. You'll want to hush your mouth just so you can eat more than one slice of this outlandish pie! And, by all means, "lettuce" (let us) put some whipped cream on the very top! Homemade, of course. No other way to have it! Outlandish, because it is! It's ridiculous! Made of beans!

No excuse not."Do not … [Read more...]
Turning the Other Cheek
Turning the other cheek... Sometimes hard to do. We have our own set of opinions, rights, and yeah--feelings--"We the People". Do you have COVID-19?-- The year, 2019; not the number of COVID. Seriously laughing out loud about that one... I find these people as being the smitten image of Trump, himself (coincidentally or not), the bullish President/his … [Read more...]
Dirty Politics
We're not in this altogether. We're on separate sides. We don't like each other. In fact, we hate each other. The difference between sides: people who pretend/are misled by a vain leader v. the people who are brutally honest. We're divided. We might be related in some way, or at one time were. We could have attended the same school building in our … [Read more...]

Recipe for Healing a Nation
Pandemic Potatoes
Funeral potatoes originated, the term, out of potato casseroles baked for post funeral gatherings; but also for holidays, of course-- "Christmas potatoes". And for those gushy weddings in June; "potatoes for a June bride". ...Lest you forget, potluck afternoon Sunday suppers on the church lawns- In lieu of the pandemic virus raid of the rampant monstrous, beast of … [Read more...]
Learn & Live [23]
This virus is really bringing out the truths in people--separating the money-hungry, selfishness of certain individuals--from the good, decent people who are the genuine providers and caregivers to their families and communities. It reveals people to a 'T'. If people say they "don't want drama", they sure as hell shouldn't be causing drama with the intentional acts of hatred … [Read more...]
