That sinking feeling...
That sinking feeling can best be described as making a purchase and reaching in your pocket... MY WALLET... where's my wallet?? It was simple, you changed pants and forgot to transfer the contents of your pockets to the pants you were wearing. That sinking feeling was replaced with the angry at yourself feeling!
Maybe it was different... MY PHONE... where's my cellphone??
I did that once. In a computer store. I placed my phone on a shelf to look up a price at the scanner station. As I got to the front of the store, I realized I didn't have my phone. Running back, not 2 minutes later, the phone was gone. Heading to the front of the store I was looking around to see if anyone had my phone. First stop... customer service as I explained what had happened. The attendant had me describe specific details about the phone... "This one?" yeah... wow, close call. "The salesman in that department brought it to the front" she said. That sinking feeling was replaced with the I'm pretty fuk'in lucky feeling!

Fraudsters
During my browsing the internet through social media and somehow with dating sites , I've been astonished and extremely wondered how dare some men can Impersonates a woman character...showing love...deep affectionate personality, warm soft words with sexy pics!!! Just to cheat, deceive, bluff and steal money from men !! Is the ignobility has reached to this lowest level of ethics? Who gave you the right to rob or deceive the others? Beside many women got to adopt this track and they always targeted the Old Men......That's absolutely disgusting and really weird....of course there's many procedures could be made in case of worse..But I'm here blogging to warn people who not aware of such bad news people! 
Comfortable in my Skin
Never judge a book by its cover. t's a way of saying don't judge others…before you learn who they are on the inside. It’s a great saying but the reality is that human beings judge books by their covers. All the time. Sure, you’re great once you get to sit down and chat but the world is judgmental.
There are different ways people judge you:
1. By your wardrobe
2. By your Time Management (punctuality)
3. By Your Preparation
4. Manners and etiquette
5. By your Language
6. LASTLY BUT MOST IMPORTANT – APPEARANCES
It is the last one that’s my subject of discussion.
Appearances can be deceptive
No One is Perfect
No one is equal
If you are thin, will a stranger assume you are mean, vain, and controlling? And if you are overweight, are you observed as sloppy, slow, and lazy? A poll was conducted by Rebecca Puhl, PhD, at Yale’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, asking women “to envision a female stranger who was either ‘overweight’ or ‘thin,’ then choose one pair of words to describe her.”
Per the results of this poll, overweight women were described as “slow,” “undisciplined,” “sloppy,” and “lazy.”
The article also stated that, “a study of out of the University of Manchester found that obese women had more trouble getting a job … gaining any weight at all or having a baby face (chubbier cheeks, less pronounced cheekbones) could lead to lower wages and reduced career opportunity.”
On the flip side, the poll also concluded that thin women were described as “bitchy,” “mean,” “controlling,” “conceited,” “vain,” “self-centered,” and “superficial.”
All women – thin and fat – are judged by their size.
If these conclusions are based off of what history has depicted and what our minds preconceive, how do we change things for the future? Can’t an overweight woman be a go-getter with game-changing ideas? Because a woman is thin, is she automatically controlling; or, could she perhaps have fantastic genetics and is actually a very understanding, compromising female? And, when you see a woman on the street, at the grocery store, or at the park, are you subconsciously or consciously judging her worth based on the size of her body?
I think we women are all guilty of this. So, how can we change it?
If you are overweight and struggling to find a job, does this information push you to lose some weight? Or, if you are thin and always misjudged to be a snob, would you gain some weight to push those notions away?
Why do we care what others think of us?

Going On A Trip
My sister invited me to go on a trip with her to the next province over to spend a week at a cabin in the country. Will be little over a week. Probably not going to have internet but I'll survive lol.
My plan is to smoke lots of pot and do lots of fishing

took me 30 years to realize
Just getting back from taking a small trip....nothing significant to talk about...but, along the way I bought a pack of new socks. You know that little plastic thingy that holds them together...well, I just realized that you don't need to break that to get the socks loose. One side is designed a little thinner than the other side to allow it to bend and pull through the sock. It only took 30 years to realize that...unless it is a new design. 
no feminism again.

Sleepless in London
It is now 4.45,am,and I am wide awake,and up since 3.30.
I don't believe I was ever a good sleeper,but,it is getting worse.
I'm sure shift work,over a number of years,at different times of my life,play a part.
Still,being reasonably healthy,retired,and not a prisoner of the clock,makes it bearable.
Living alone,I wonder if a partner would relax me more,and help me sleep?
This is the longest time I have been on my own,for many years.
In some ways,it's nice.
Doing my own thing,without offending,or finding things being changed,and not knowing where they are.
Still,man or woman,were not meant to be single.
Even Roman Catholic Priests were allowed to marry,at one time,until a stupid,jealous Pope,forbade it!
How much safer and better world today,especially for children,if that buffoon,had sense!
Right,my first attempt at a Blog!
Not too bad,I hope.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend,and,try not to be sleepless.
Nite/nite,or,morning/morning.
Mike.

Trump takes action to help the hurricane victims in Florida.
This time he got involved.
Yep, instead of playing golf in Florida during this potentially devastating hurricane, he took executive action to help the residents in Florida.
Instead, of playing golf in Mar-a-Lago today,
he's playing golf in Virginia.
He really shows how much he cares !
I remember conservatives often whining about how much golf Obama played. But, Trump plays way more golf & also cheats on his score,
and not a word about Trump's golfing and the soaring $$$ costs from conservatives.
