"Just Sitting By And Watching It Unfold"
That's what we have come to, a world of sitting and watching people rather than being helpers and doers. Oh yes, some Tweet with their fingers, and some write blogs, and some do a lot of talking, some even donate money, but most sit and watch...the t.v. news, the computer news, the iPhone news...

What A Day
"The Republican Party has got to get a grip on itself. Right now...." ~ Colin Powell Beautiful Fall Day! I just love it. What will it bring? What will I accomplish? Who will I meet? What will I say? This is a day that should not be wasted. This is a wonderful day for baking. It is chilly enough that...

No One Quite Like Rose
She loved to sing and dance, even while she washed the family's clothes on a washboard in a galvanized tin tub in the back yard, hung the clothes on the line, killed, plucked, cleaned and cooked one of our chickens for evening meal, swept, mopped, etc., etc. Today would have been her one hundred and...

Narcolepsy???
Just as the "flashing chyrons by the hour" are showing President Trump's wild claims to Mr. Biden and giving him pangs on what to do about the unlikely situation (New York Times), I'm having "flashing chyrons" in my head that come from another source and interrupt my train of thought and seem to...

"Oh My!" - An Apology To Kabu
I would never have chosen to stress you out. Never in a million years. You have enough on your mind without me adding to it. It made me sad to read your comment to my last post and I am making a commitment to never write anything political on my posts at Blogit again. I've always pretty much stayed...

On Finding Out
"We're gonna find out. And--and, by the way, when I say you're gonna find out, you can never really find, you know there are gonna be-- no matter what numbers we come up with, there are gonna be lots of people that did things that we're not going to find out about. But we will find out because we...

He Laughed At Me
Decoction, infusion, tincture, compress, ointment, poultice-- Several years back, a favorite nephew of mine gifted me with a wonderful book titled "The Complete Medicinal Herbal" by Penelope Ody. It is a practical guide to the healing properties of herbs. It is a fascinating book. But, I must admit...

Is It Really Over?
"Blogit began as fun, turned into an obsession, a writing contest, a fishing for readers race, and then, it all became too much and I had to step away." ~ Benzinha It is difficult to know when it is time to step away from Blogit and move on to other things.

Spider Fangs Time
The state of Missouri, where I have always lived, is right smack-dab in the middle of the range of recluse spiders in the U.S. This time of year, end of summer, cooler nights, fall and winter coming on, I always begin to worry about spiders coming inside. We have already found two black spiders...

Seconds Count
Day after tomorrow, for one second it will be 9/19/19 at 9:19:19. It seems that every day something occurs that will never happen again, and most of those things we probably missed, are missing, will miss. What could one do for that one second that would make a difference in someone's life? Probably...
