apparently doesn't care about children going without food, vaccinations, or heaven forbid an education. She's more afraid they will be traumatized by hearing a four letter word.

Have you ever misunderstood the meaning of a song?

Have you ever heard a song many times while growing up, then heard it again when you're an adult and realized
for all those years you misinterpreted the meaning of the song? I heard Bread's, "Everything I Owned," this morning and it finally dawned on me it was about a person mourning the loss of a parent, not a romantic partner.

I was watching a video, that features a musical artist listening to music from previous generations, that he'd never heard before. When the opening lyrics played about being sheltered from harm, and,"you gave my life to me," I said to myself damn it's about a parent. Then when the video host broke in, for his first comment on the song he said right away, it's about the loss of a parent. I was like damn how did I not pick up on that long before now?

Saw on Huff Post Facebook Reels

Marjorie Taylor Beyotch is actually ticked off at tsf over bombing in Iran. She says she hasn't heard of any Iranians killing Americans and tsf shouldn't be helping Netanyahu with his war, instead says he should be using U.S. resources to stop Fetenal trafficking.

Also they reported some of the Proud Boys are expressing anger over it too, saying its going to put Americans at risk of Iranian terrorist assaults.

My guess their real motivation is anti semitism, but them breaking with tsf on anything is a bit of a shock. Wonder if even some of his bootlicking crew are starting to question their cult leader?

TV Line Email- Food Networks Anne Burrell Has Died

Says Food Networks Anne Burrell has died. No cause of death has been released yet. She was only 55. RIP Anne. I enjoyed watching her on a number of their shows. Sad her and Carl Ruiz both passed away so young.

Feeling Useless

In the summer my sister and I always try to make the front of our house look nice. She doesn't live here but we have the house in her name because she paid to have it built on our family's old farm land(it hasn't been a actual farm since I was born), and I have chronic mental health issues. I have lifetime use.

Unfortunately I have very little coordination and though I try to help with physical upkeep I always end up screwing up. Like today I went to plant some flowers out front and when I went to get back up off the ground to move farther down I ended up, falling on my butt into the rose bushes. I have a few stinging scratches on my back, but otherwise I don't think I hurt myself. I did end up breaking my cardinal solar light and might physically hurt tomorrow.

Now don't get me wrong. I love my sister and she gives me a lot of financial support, and she's pretty much all the family I have left except a few maternal cousins. I couldn't make it without her. I do know, however, she is going to say she has to do all the work, and can't count on me for anything. It hurts to hear that. She's a lot like our late Mother that way. They both accused me of messing up on purpose so they wouldn't ask me for help again, or because I don't concentrate on what I am doing.

The first part isn't true because why would I purposefully set myself up for them to bitch at me? The second part I will admit is sometimes true but often times I can't control it. I always have maintained I have an absent minded professor brain. My mind does wander off unless it's engaged in something that hold it's interest
I excelled at subjects like History and Creative Writing , but struggled with things like math, drawing, and motor skills.

I think I was born this way and it's not my fault, and some of my teachers and therapists along the way have told me that. My Dad understood and was patient with me because he had a cousin who was apparently a lot like me, but a lot of others have agreed with my Mom and sister.

It's just hard to deal with sometimes because I don't want anyone to think I don't want to help, but I know either way, it ends up disappointing me and others around me. It seems like a never ending cycle.

I am not going to be one of those neighbors

who goes to the people across from me and yells at them, and have never contacted the authorities for violation of town code.

I simply need to vent, and ask what type of morons have a bond fire when we are already in the midst of an air quality alert, due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires drifting our way?

Like Al Gore once said, "The Death of Common Sense," and I'd add the death of consideration of others as well.

Happy Dog Mom's Day

to all my fellow Dog Moms. Dakota sends kisses. 🐕

Advice Needed! How discourage a vixen fox

from coming into my yard. My dog has alerted me several times that she is in his fenced in play area. She jumps the fence. Last night she was at the bottom of the deck stairs. I don't feed the dog out there, but I know the birds drop bird seed in there. Do they eat seeds? There is a squirrel that comes around occasionally but it's out in the daytime.

I appreciate nature and don't want to harm the fox just don't want her coming near the house or in Dakota's play area as one of our previous dog got a case of mange from rolling in fox poop on a walk.

Any suggestions. I blow a whistle when I see her in the pen. She takes off, but comes back the next night.

Today is my Dakota's 6th birthday.

Hard to believe Dakota is 6 today!He still acts like a puppy!
