Trump's former the lawyer Rudy Giuliani is a central figure in an investigation into election interference in Georgia. He's due to appear before a special grand jury and has been telling prosecutors that following his unspecified medical procedure, he cannot travel to the state to appear because he is not healthy enough to fly.
Giuliani told prosecutors his doctor ordered him not to fly, but that didn't stop him from flying to New Hampshire on August 1st where he incriminated himself posting the visit on social-media.
Georgia prosecutors said they had obtained records showing Giuliani had purchased multiple airline tickets with cash, including tickets to Rome, Italy, and Zurich, Switzerland, for flights between July 22 and July 29. All of those dates were after the witness's medical procedure.

After the disaster that was last week, I did some thinking over the weekend, and I came to the conclusion, that I am simply not ready to be the one who closes the warehouse. It was way too early to give me that responsibility, which I told my boss today.

I relayed what happened last week, and I told him straight up, that it was way too early for me to be able to close by myself, and that I required more training in order to do that. Ease me in to the whole closing routine. I also need my other coworkers to play ball with me, and make sure that I take over something that isn't a total dumpster fire. By 4 pm, we need to have everything packed up, so I only have to focus on the remaining few orders.

My boss was very understanding, and told me that he heard a similar story from one of the other people that work there, so we both agreed that I need more training. Now, I'm gonna be trained properly, this time. Maybe in a few months, I am ready to have the responsibility of closing up shop, but until then, it's business as usual

Having commented on several blogs and been given the order of the boot, along with other posters, in no uncertain manner by certain O.P.s I have to call in to question people's own mentality. There seems to be a group mentality on here of late which defeats the whole object of blogging. Control freaks springs to mind to say the least.

On one particular blog about libraries I found this interesting comment.

Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental disorder in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior.

Common sense springs to mind that if you continually slag off others on here by calling them bastards, commie, d*ck heads, get back in the kitchen, do some knitting, the list is endless especially from one particular poster, are you not totally guilty of the one thing that you decry in others.

Answers on a postage stamp please.

In a village, a poor old farmer had a lame son. Everyone in the village called that boy unlucky.
One day, king's army came to the village, and took all the strong young boys to be soldiers for the emperor. Only the old farmer's lame son was spared, because he could not fight with a broken leg. Everyone said, “What a good luck!” The old farmer replied, “Good luck?, bad luck?, who knows?”
So, don't pride on your good-luck and don't grieve over your bad-luck.

There is a child inside each one of us, our ego does not allow to come out, but comes out in front of the person we are most comfortable with.

In the past that seems so long ago I kind of found my way back to me in this crazy site.
I went through so much emotion and in the end I found without realising it that I needed to learn how to deal with Me, I realised that She had been buried so deeply inside my heart because I was needed as a Mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend etc.

Almost it seems a lifetime ago when CS helped me find Me again I didn't comprehend then how much so many faceless strangers could help me find my soul again.

So when life decided to knock me down a few steps, I came back to the place I felt safe enough to put out into the universe "Me"

From thinking my life was going to be this gentle growing old with someone special who I loved for the Man he is, but I discovered when I was told I am not enough, that I maybe was just there to help him find himself.. surely you would crumble into pieces if that was as real as I wanted it to be?
And yet I find I feel lighter and I can see the Woman who was quietly waiting for the next phase of this crazy ride we call life.

So here I am :
"Hello again"

I'm grateful. Thankful and feel blessed for every breath I take.

Being over the hill is only a state of mind. Our body might be beat, our minds tired, our strength diminish but the reality is, we are capable of steering our mind set against all these negativity and live our lives full of joy and happiness. You're with someone or alone, doesn't matter. Only you, (me) and no one else is in control.

At 71, I feel like I'm still in my 30s. Very strong and very healthy. This is not about bragging, just to share my experience and way of life with the hope that some people can say: "I can do that". That is, if we choose to live on the positive side of life.

Life is short. We have to make the best of whatever life throws at us. I have done this and that. I've been through every imaginable challenge there is. With vigor and hope, I've weathered it all. And here, I'm still breathing, free and healthy.

I can only thank God and all those people that have always been there for me.

Thanks all for your warm wishes and Bill, thank you again.

Remember, the key to a good life isn't ALL about money. This doesn't mean we limit our ethical and moral way of producing goods to afford us the comforts it offers because of money.

Remember, too, its ou content and happy disposition at what we have and be happy.

Simplicity is the key. God Bless all.::heartwings:

Love is all there is. Even our enemies deserve to be loved. Having said that, avoid those that want to harm you. Thank you all again.





Yesterday at Captain's Crab

Two weeks ago after church.

And my breakfast everyday. I mostly eat organic food. Fruits and vegetables and exercise everyday.


Two weeks ago at the gym. Remember to burn all the toxic in our body.

When the virus occurred, I guess almost everyone of us must have been hit in one way or the other.
It struck me at least 3 times, one time I lost my breath for a full day, was not able to climb stairs or I thought I'd die soon.
Though I'm still here, as most of us are (with some exceptions, my elderly foster mum and dad, for instance) it seems, a lot has changed since then. Yes life just does not feel the same - what is back to normal?
On certain days, death might appear closer than life?
My bowels started to have allergic reaction to almost all food, except vegetables and fruits (and nuts - leaving me act like a squirrel when munching them).

At some stage, smell was gone. Being slightly autistic, the fact that I could not smell had significant impact on how I perceived the world around me.

Due to my lack of understanding and persistance, my life was off the hinges before 2020.

Being in isolation has tought me, there is not a single person who can be in charge of my life. I knew this before, but to some extent I had to be reminded again obviously.
If I want to live, I have to take over. Not depend, nor being in need on / of others.

Dramatic circumstances drew me back to prayer, and G'd.
Sad to acknowledge really, but this is the truth, in my case.

While living my life now, day by day, taking moments step by step learning to walk like a little one...

A few days ago I was walking home from work through rural area where I live. Alongside the road grow bushes of blackberries. Loads, of blackberries.
And suddenly I noticed, like, a light was switched on:
Every single one of those blackberries look a tiny bit different!

And, guess what? I also noticed, they all TASTE different, too.

I cannot recall ever having had this sensational taste before? It was like, another dimension?

So, my smell and taste are back, vaguely I remember a few weeks ago I asked G'd to heal things in our bodies as a general prayer, for all people.

How great, amazing this is, I cannot put this in words? What a Creator we have.

This whole thought and idea makes me humble and small, and yet He wants to share His greatness with us?

So the end of the story for the moment is this:
I can live my life, without G'd. Without acknowledging who He is, and what He has done and does and will do.

And end up in a pretty messed up position with myself.

If I choose to listen to Him, and acknowledge who He is... my blackberry G'd...


Disclaimer: this is a momentus sharing personal experience. And even though I write: 'we' feel free to think and believe differently. The faith has to come personally into one's life. There will always be some questions unanswered. x

There are people who masquerade as healers and profess to have the ability to change a person's life for the better, as long as they follow their instructions. This is just another method of exerting control over vulnerable individuals, and establishing a regime of power to satisfy the purveyors need to dominate. These power seekers can be found acting independently or in religious cults. Don't be fooled by their willingness to help, or stories of successful outcomes. It is all a confidence trick. Your mind belongs to you. Don't let anyone try to interfere with it. Most problems can be solved by taking the time to reflect on issues and deciding the correct course of action. You will then have the satisfaction of resolving matters yourself.

For so long I have been stressed, numb, no empathy and tonight I got free. I found out that I am human and not a beast. Even though we were both created on the sixth day.

I realized that dancing and enjoying the company of other single women can be so freeing. Knowing that I can go out and enjoy myself...without a man. Life is starting to take on a new meaning. Point is it is ok to be sixty six years old and single. Feels kinda good.
