....stories on the Beeb always get me thinking. Apparently, now that fertilized human embryos have had the same cold treatment for a few decades, it starts with unfertilized eggs. Surgically (read---invasively) harvested after a few toxic weeks of drug treatments, done to have many more available than the usual one lonely seductive ovum hanging out each month on the surface of one ovary, shaking dat booty for all those upstream swimming hopefuls,---it is quite costly. Money grubbing companies even had martini lubricated parties, where younger women, mostly, were encouraged to pay big for the service, after frightening them with tales of later life infertility. And now one shameless group is using mobile clinical busses for the abuse. But unlike with "spare", discarded aborted fertilized "cell masses", which can often be frozen for later reproductive use, frozen eggs are much less viable, especially in women in their 20's-----precisely the biggest users. When asked why do so, most ladies said they couldn't find a partner they wanted to have kids with. It is a safety maneuver. Anyone seeing any similarities here with (paying) so called dating sites? Present hcompany excluded. Stay tuned, folks.

What do you prefer:
Summer/Spring/Winter/Autumn/None?
and tell us why?

Too good not to share??

Every second someone leaves this world.
Age has nothing to do with it.
We are all in this line without realizing it.
We never know how many people stand in line for us.
We can not step out of the queue and then close back again
Nobody can avoid this queue.

So .... while we wait in line Let moments count.
Make the difference.
Firm that phone call
Set priorities.
Make time.
Give people the feeling that they matter.
Let your voice be heard.
Make the little things big.
Have someone smile. And especially yourselfMake that change.
Put yourself at the top of the priority list.
Make sure you tell people that they are loved.
Be sure that you do not regret anything.
Love.
Close Peace as far as possible.
Make sure you are ready.

At school my teachers thought I would never amount to anything. I haven’t seen any of them since I left so they probably don’t know how accurate their predictions were. None of my achievements in life have been more than minor. This has, from time to time, caused me anxiety and dissatisfaction, but not anymore. I’ve found that since I’ve been living on my own I no longer care about achievement, or lack of it. A bit more money would be nice, but it wouldn’t take much more to spare me the usual end of the month juggling.

This made me wonder how many of the ambitions we have are for the sake of other people.

......................... Maybe yes. Maybe no.

It's been a mixed bag of weather these past few weeks. Lows in the 40's (Fahrenheit) highs in the 70's and yesterday kicked up winds of 25mph gusting to 40 at times.
I have a fan in the window of my home office that's 20 years old and sometimes It squeaks because the bearing/bushing in the motor is worn. I haven't bothered to open the cover to oil the bushing.
A few times it's stopped because the bushing/bearing is worn.

This morning, I opened the bedroom door to a heavy burning electrical smell throughout the house. Although it's a strong smell, it didn't set off the 3 smoke detectors in the house!

I took the fan from the window and moved it outside on the patio, opened all the doors and windows. Strong winds are helping remove the smell from inside.

I'm sure there's a song about 'something burning' but I think it's related to a country music star and his girlfriend!

You are not your age, nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight, or the color of your hair.
You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks.
You are all the books you read, and all the words you speak.
You are your croaky morning voice, and the smiles you try to hide.
You’re the sweetness in your laughter, and every tear you’ve cried.
You’re the songs you sing so loudly when you know you’re all alone.
You’re the places that you’ve been to, and the one that you call home.
You’re the things that you believe in, and the people whom you love.
You’re the photos in your bedroom, and the future you dream of.
You’re made of so much beauty, but it seems that you forgot
When you decided that you were defined by all the things you’re not.

(Not, by Erin Hanson)

There is someone who is with you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He or she never departs from your side, day and night remains with you. There is only one person who can make you happy, who can really make you feel good. Who? You are, of course, yourself. You have your own best friend constantly with you. Amazing, right?

Doesn't life happens as we make it?

Or do we just accept what cards are dealt with us and then make do of what we can do? (or not do for that matter).

What about destiny. Do you believe in it? If so how much of it do you truly depend on it and or do you, like me, do everything to direct and control our lives?

Lately, I have been flummoxed as to how life is unfolding before my eyes and for the love of my life, I don't want to really fight anything that is happening anymore. In other words, I think it has become easier for me to say: Well, if it is meant to be, then let it be.

What about you? Do you have anything to share?

Quite honestly, even I myself is finally sick of this 90 percent of front page on our blog section to be dominated by the American politics ss though we have contracted CS to be nothing but an expose of the American political activities. I do have two of them and yes I am guilty but day in and day out, it is wall here, wall there, Pelosi here, Pelosi there, Trump here and everywhere and I am a bit tired of it.

So I hope some of you will join me on this discussion. After all we do all have lives, don't we?


PS. Is the word destiny more applicable to those who's afraid of going out there and dream to accomplish beyond their expectations? Then again, what are our expectations?
