I love this short two-minute You Tube video from yesteryear’s Designing Women, as Julia, running for political office in the episode, passionately expresses her beliefs (and mine) on the subject of … well, just take a listen.

Smashed
Taking the trash out into the alley behind our place, I ran into this …


“Uh oh,” I thought, “there’s a story here somewhere.”
A discarded (before Halloween!) strange-looking jack-o’-lantern hunkering down at the feet of a thoroughly smashed mirror.

I moved closer, snapping a few photos (I’m not sure why).
“How very sad,” I cringed, “and somebody’s in for some bad luck!”
“You obviously know not of that which you speak,” a crystal clear voice came from the shards.




I walked away, educated.
This Is Why He’s Not My President

Trump and his entourage responded with mockery to weekend “No Kings” protests by millions of Americans — embracing the narrative in a way that explains his growing hubris and belief that he has unchecked power. cnn
The president and Vice President JD Vance this weekend both posted AI memes to social media depicting Trump in a crown. The one Trump shared was a mocked-up vision of the president flying a fighter jet emblazoned with “KING TRUMP appearing to dump raw sewage on protesters. cnn
This Horrific Embarrassment is a President of the United States?

Bathroom Basking
A blog category about finding “interesting decor” in various bathrooms I’ve come across.
So yesterday, Robert and I drove over to Bluffton, South Carolina to attend my daughter Amy’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for expansion of her Savannah- based medical company, Coastal Care Partners.
Afterwards, we had lunch at our VERY favorite fried chicken restaurant on the planet, Cahill’s Market and Chicken Kitchen. (I love its name.)

Cahill’s is a working farm.



At my age, I always pay careful attention to the whereabouts of the nearest restroom.
Restroom? Do you really rest in a restroom?
And here are a few other synonyms for restroom …

Bog?! Jakes?!
Anyway, before leaving Cahill’s and driving back to Savannah, of course I had to visit the, the … garderobe.
And look what I Halloween-y found!



I left the, the … watercloset, relieved and in a bit more of the upcoming holiday spirit.

Repressive Evil Has Its Hold on the “United” States

I simply don’t understand our federal government’s Administration of Hatred.

WHY would these people take something born out of LOVE, the gay flag, and “recreate it” as … terrorism?
It makes NO sense.
Except perhaps in the twisted minds of authoritarian strongmen dictators and their blind-to-truth followers.

An excerpt from the disturbing article …

Here’s the link to the full disturbing article:

And here’s the beautiful Progress Flag the article references, along with the meaning behind the colors …


Maybe I’m stupid, but I don’t quite get how …
LIFE
HEALING
SUNLIGHT
NATURE
HARMONY
SPIRIT
And inclusive Love directed toward Indigenous Peoples, People of Color and Transgender People …
… are terroristic threats.
This is fascist insanity beyond belief.

But this is my country too, and I call upon …

… all true patriots to condemn this cancerous Avalanche of Hatred that Trump and his cronies are unleashing upon our nation and its very soul.

Long Live Love

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 9/15/25 #2



Wait, let me get this straight. Folks are getting fired from their jobs for exercising their first amendment right to speak freely.
But this guy can call for execution of American citizens with no punishment?
Incredible hypocrisy.
You Know You’re Getting Older …
… when your daughter asks you to pose AS A SENIOR CITIZEN for some “professional photos” for new advertising for the Savannah medical company she founded and runs, Coastal Care Partners.


It took all my acting chops to pull off such a difficult and challenging role.
Here’a a link to Amy’s very cool business website:
The “President” …
… of the United States is insane.
Surely everyone realizes that by now.

I try not to listen to him, but this short video is worth a few seconds of your time …

I realize that many, perhaps most, bloggers don’t want to get into politics. But I believe my United States is at a crossroads, and our current President is steering us down a Deadly Drive, one that will destroy our Democracy. I call upon my fellow bloggers and citizens everywhere to speak out against this tyranny and authoritarianism. If we love our country, we must.

Speak Out!
