I'm really not sure what the new meaning for woke is, but I'm equating it to TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) where people cannot get over the fact that Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 election.
Time for a new acronym WDS and that stands for Woke Derangement Syndrome.

Clips of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made it clear he will eliminate 'the woke and leftism' in America when he is elected President. Forget about anything else, it's his platform. So much that his wife Casey had a leather coat with something of the subject.
It's a drawing of Florida, an alligator and the inscription "WHERE WOKE GOES TO DIE.

Let's unite America with the perfect team to be in the White House in 2024.

Could you love and desire a mature Man with dentures?

The Foo Fighters are back in the studio and on the road with drummer Josh Freese.
In this rehearsal video, Josh blasts out some beats like he's been in the band for years.




Freese — a session and live drummer has performed with everyone from Guns N’ Roses and Nine Inch Nails to Paramore and Devo.

He replaces Taylor Hawkins, who died just over a year ago while on tour in Bogotá, Colombia.

I've been saying this for more than a year now, but today Ron DeSantis made it official and is running for president.

In my last blog about Ron, one of his associates filed an amendment to allow him to campaign and not have to quit his job as governor. Ken commented to that blog saying it was common practice. Maybe so, but Ron is going against Donald J. Trump and if the slightest crack existed, Trump would bring it up.
My questions is: Where does Ron get to draw the line of using Florida taxpayer money versus campaign funds to travel across the country? He's already been running around as though he made the announcement weeks ago.

Governor Ron "Have your cake and eat it too" DeSantis...

Fake university, he lost in court. Racking up countless business failures, he declared bankruptcy on 6 hotels and casinos.
Impeached twice.
His organization companies found guilty on multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records.
He is connected with business fraud in the Stormy Daniels case.
Recently found liable in the E. Jean Carroll case, this may open a 'tidal wave' of women coming forward with similar claims.

While claiming' witch hunt' for nearly everything, Teflon Don has squeaked through a lot.
But there is still more to go...

He faces two lawsuits tied to his alleged efforts to interfere with the 2020 election.
I think the big ticket is he will be found guilty in connection with the January 6th insurrection.
Some are talking the possibility of prison, I personally think it would be a few years of house arrest and travel restrictions.

What's next?

Have anyone listen gramophone now adays
Please tell me. :

As I ponder what it is that each gender wants in a partner, I cannot help but think that there are going to be inevitable conflicts within the opposite gender we seek.

Are we destined by life to be partners? I would say yes. We need to reproduce to be life...otherwise life itself would no longer exist. In order to create life, we need to partner up.

So therefore, we need to pick a partner we wish or want to procreate with.

For a woman, she desires security. That could be a tall guy. That could be a wealthy guy. That could be a well adapted socially intelligent guy. That might be a physically strong guy. The list goes on. Many (if not all) women want all of these traits in the guy they choose to reproduce with.

The problem is, God did not design all men in such a way to satisfy all women. If all men were tall, there would be no tall men. There needs to be short men in order to have tall men. If all men were physically strong, there would be no strong men. There needs to be physically weak men in order for there to be strong men. .....and so on and so on.

The same can be said about men's desires with the woman he wants to reproduce with....she is to be young, she is to be healthy looking (hair & breasts). She is to be of an agreeable nature. She is to be nurturing.

Not all women are these traits.

So why did God create such variations of humans?

Maybe the answer to that question has to do with Life's Big Picture.

Perhaps our purpose.

Remember, we need to partner up to have life in the first place. Need....

Maybe we are here to test our ego, to test our vanity, to test our level of selfishness.....how much will we bend to our personal desires? Will we bend to our personal desires to the point where we will eliminate ourselves...deny life; thus, deny ourselves?

Growing a banana tree from a banana. That doesn't happen, right? I'm told the only way to grow a banana tree is small trees that sprout from a larger tree. This farming information comes from people who lived in banana growing countries.

When my family moved to Florida, there were a few banana trees growing over the septic tank. The distance down until you hit cement was about 2 feet and the trees uprooted during a hurricane. We didn't replant them so no more bananas in my back yard.
Some 40 years later, my son-in-law started growing bananas that he got from a private pilot who traveled to Venezuela. The pilot brought the small trees over himself. The variety were short 'finger bananas' that were tasty. He was able quickly grow 20 trees and gave me a few small trees.

I cleared an area in my back yard, added top soil and fertilizer, watered them daily... Wow, Banana trees started growing like crazy! A year later, I'm expecting to see some fruit. Two years later, I'm expecting to see some fruit. Three years later, I'm expecting to see some fruit. But nothing.

One weekend, I was doing a yard sale and a woman who introduces herself as the daughter of my neighbor asks about the banana crop. I revealed nothing so far. She said I was using the wrong nutrient. Fertilizer from Home Depot is what I told her. No... she told me I had to put my garbage in the ground... especially eggshells.

She asked for some small trees that I gladly gave her and she said she would return to see the progress. The reason for the yard sale was to get ready to sell my house. I never connected with her again.

The woman who bought my place was Hispanic and loved my huge mango tree and a few years growth of banana trees. Sadly, when I drove by, the banana trees were gone and the mango tree was much, much smaller than when I left.

So, here I am 3 years later, living in a condo community that doesn't allow for any fruit trees. My neighbor is growing papaya and the landscaping crew pulls his trees around the time they bear fruit. Bastards.

On YouTube, I found there are several videos describing how to grow a banana tree from a banana. Eureka! It can be done and they all have nearly the same method.

As long as they are less than 8 feet high, I can grow them on my back screened in porch that get lots of afternoon sunlight. When I have enough, I'll transplant them behind the tall shrubs near the canal along the golf course.

Now, the realty as many of the YouTube photos are 100% BS, you cannot grow a stalk of 30 bananas on a tree that is less than 3 feet tall. Not on planet earth, so I'll have to do the discovery myself. If this doesn't work, I'll go to a plant nursery and buy a tree and start the process all over again.

I'm back from the Farmer's Market... unscathed. The snow-birds have gone back North so it's now possible to stop and put something in your cart without having someone jab your ankles with their cart.

That doesn't mean it's not busy, especially for a Saturday afternoon.

The highlight was when a woman had her cart cross-ways in the intersection of two aisles. She was oblivious that her cart was blocking the path of no less than 7 people. So, one guy straightened her cart and moved it about four feet from it's location. As she turned and realized her cart had been moved, the man spoke and said "Your cart was blocking the aisle so I moved it here" as he pointed to it four feet away.

Yeah... she was annoyed. The audacity of him moving her cart! She grabbed control and pulled it back to the location it was before he moved it and let him know "Oh, you're so rude."

I was done shopping and headed to the registers. She was ahead of me and appeared to be going to the front of the store as well. But, she kept looking over her shoulder as if she was ready to 'tangle' with me!

Thanks, but no thanks...

When Trump left the White House, he took documents that should have been turned over to the National Archives. Months of back-and-forth and a subpoena got some returned. Somewhere along the way, his lawyers said all the documents were returned, but they had wrong information. The FBI conducted a search to get the documents back and If you recall, Trump went on social media and in the news complaining about how the search was conducted.

Maybe you one of the ones who sided with Trump, not only for the way the search was conducted but that he had rights to keep the documents in question. That search was about 9 months ago.

We're not done yet.
I heard some things today that are news (to me) where some of the Mar-a-Lago staff revealed they were instructed to do a dress rehearsal of moving boxes a day before the search and at least one of Trump's attorneys was present for the search.
I didn't pay attention to the second part, which is more significant.
While Trump claimed it was a surprise, it appears Corcoran, one of his his legal advisers confirmed the date with FBI when they could meet to pick up the documents.

Did Trump know or did he not know the date they were to arrive for the search?
We do know he was away and It was stated he was watching via the surveillance cameras.

So far, none of this is looking to be in favor of Trump. At the CNN televised meeting he admitted to having the documents and believes he has the right to retain them.
