This is a blog for readers and writers to connect and to create a solid and sustained relationship between readers and writers.

I've been a member of CS for over 7 years now. Been blogging on & off most of that time, have made some good friends on here, but seems even some of them don't believe a word I say That's a bit cutting as I've never knowingly told a lie either here or in the real world, but I made a comment on Usha's blog & even some of the regulars don't believe what I said was true Makes mental note to review my friends judgement

So back to the original OP what do you do, well that fits into three categories, the first being exactly what you're told to do, then secondly you don't rent any long movies Thirdly you don't choose this week to give up smoking, I mean what's it going to do, kill you I've always had a passion for fast cars so sort of envisioned the end would be say a 400 year old oak tree with my head buried in it, not something the size of an atom Problem with things that small they breed faster than rabbits & before you know it there's billions of the little buggers eating you alive I'm a little short on detail as one of the side effect of an infection in your head is total deafness, I did manage to catch the doctor saying I was lucky, hmmm well to me lucky would have been not getting it in the first place, but by Saturday, I'd been taking painkillers for weeks which I realised weren't doing my any favours so cut right back, and it was then I realised how serious it was & decided to go to a private clinic, she told me I probably wouldn't have made it till Monday

My thanks to my neighbour & Biff who've been driving me to the clinic, I can't drive myself as the council have been out putting bends in all the roads that weren't there last week, plus I'm now banned by the doctor due to one of the pile of tablets I have take day & night is a narcotic

So you can choose to believe this blog or not, but i will tell you the lab that did bloods works on my sample today did question whether they came from someone still alive

TOKYO (AP) — They set records everyone saw coming and others that surprised the experts.

They suffered, and battled, and spoke their truth in ways that hadn’t been heard before.

Over nine days at the near-empty Olympic Stadium, the women of track and field delivered a memorable show, both inside the lines and out.

These are some of the athletes who defined the meet in Tokyo: Allyson Felix, Sydney McLaughlin, Sifan Hassan, Raven Saunders, Elaine Thompson-Herah.

Theirs was a sport in need of a good boost, not only because of the year-long delay sparked by the virus, but because no matter when they returned, Usain Bolt would no longer draw eyes to the track simply by showing up.

The women delivered — not so much with the feel-good, dance-a-minute vibe that Bolt brought, but with a series of inspiring performances and messages that showed the heart of their sport was still beating strong.




abridged from:

As a child I was known for make believin
All alone I created fantasies
As I grew people called it self deceivin
But my heart helped me hold the memory
As I walk through the world I find around me
Something new yet familiar's in the air
I feel it everywhere
Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night
I'm looking at you now finding answers to my prayers

It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're coming true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through

Same old stage but what a change of scene
No more dark horizons only blue
It's a new day for those good old dreams
All my life I dreamed of loving you ...

i get so angry at rain... have you ever noticed that rain is extremely wet? and on top of that its watery like a liquid.
everytime it rains and i wald around out side it messes on me, an not only me but everything. its extremely messy!
something has to be done about this rain problym a.s.a.p.!

when was the last time you took time to watch the sun rise...




or set...




you took a good look at the moon....





took time to count stars and ones blessings..

What is the next move?

I see it here in my small local communities...people openly accepting and displaying their desire to not only follow dark religions, but to show it with clothing they wear.

From what I see...it started with dividing people.
Then it followed with the genders becoming confused.
It then became where the genders went to war with each other...hating each other.
The next stage, we see the social acceptance of the dark religion through media and music.
Now today, I see people openly displaying their acceptance of this darkness.

Do you see the progression too?


What is the next stage/move?

Another side question...look at the progression I just mentioned. Does this progression mirror anything in history that we are aware of? Does Charlie Manson ring a bell? Does this not mirror the manipulation that Charlie Manson used...the only difference is, this is on a macro level.

So...what is the next stage/move?

Early yesterday morning about 2 am we had a deluge. It very briefly awoken me,
before rapidly heading back asleep
The large amount of water prevented me from playing softball last night.
.
One other result, was that it knocked a lot of ripe black mulberries off of a large tree on the side of my house.
There also, I have sugar snap peas transplanted there adjacent to a trellis
and I wanted to see how their growth is progressing this morning.
When I got to that side of my house, I noticed that the whole area was a carpet of fallen mulberries.
Thousands of them. A natural bounty.
There's tons more on the ground and way more still up in the tree.
The squirrels and birds love them.

So, I picked up a generous handful off the ground, rinsed them off with the hose and plucked the small green stem off of each of them.
I had not prepared breakfast yet, so I went inside and prepared oatmeal with a mixture; 1/2 mulberries + 1/2 grapes. Yum !

If you have never eaten mulberries, their flavor is not as powerful as a blackberry, not even as much as a blueberry. It's a subtle somewhat similar flavor to a blackberry, not as sweet either.
