"I'd tell you a memory loss joke, but I keep drawing a blank." I forgot a meal on the menu list that I posted for this week. So I am adding it here. It's: Homepot Chili I still haven't decided if I will walk to the fruit stand and buy a couple of sweet potatoes, which I did not receive with my grocery order that was delivered this morning. It's hard to make Sweet Potato Pizza without them. I may rig up something else instead, but the idea of using sweet potatoes was to includ

I memorized my social security number. I memorized my own phone number. I memorized my home address and zip code. I memorized my car's license plate number. I did not memorize my bank account number. I did not memorize my driver's license number. I did not memorize my paypal number. There sure is a lot more things I did not commit to memory than things I did. I am not sure anymore what I should train my brain to recall on demand. There's all these phone numbers - I use an add

Ever have one of those days? Well, I'm having one of those mornings. Hopefully it will only be the morning part of the day. I am grouchy, irritable, grumpy. I am angry with myself. I did stupid stuff. Doing stupid stuff is not a new thing with me, so I know I will get over it. Eventually. It's the getting from here to there that can be a struggle. I have had it with myself. LOL. I know how ludicrous that sounds, but that pretty much sums it up. I have shortcomings. Doesn't e

I have heard it said that my office looks like a picture of one of those Hidden Object games. And they aren't wrong. I am one of those people who has trouble throwing things away. I will donate. I will refurbish, recycle, renew and reuse. But unless it's trash, I won't trash it. So consequently things stack up sometimes. To be honest, my whole house is a bit like that. Overfilled. Cluttered. Filled to the brim. Make no mistake though, it is organized, regardless of how some p

I noticed that there is a pattern (one might call it a trend instead) of female weather presenters on television wearing 4 and 5 inch spiked heels. I had to ask myself why a person needed to wear the most uncomfortable looking shoes to talk about the weather? Well it turns out there are a couple of reasons. TV stations often have appearance guidelines meant to look “polished” or formal on camera. High heels are sometimes considered part of traditional broadcast fashion for wo

I have had people lie to me. I have had people lie about me. Sometimes the lies were way out there tall tales that no one could possibly have believed. Could they? Sometimes the lies were about the person telling the lie for the most part and I somehow got a dishonorable mention. Sometimes the lies turned out to be a twisted up version of the truth. Has any of these ever happened to you? If so, did it make you ask yourself how their memory of a situation or event could be so

I wanted to help. People were working without getting paid. People were not receiving their food benefits (SNAP). Prices of everything from utilities, fuel, and food have gone up considerably making it even more difficult to stretch that budget. It has been hard enough for me to just stand by and watch certain things take place that are not okay, but to think some of our most precious people, our children, our seniors, our Veterans, might be having to choose not to have a f
