THE CON MAN & HIS CULT

 

Is anyone really surprised by the storming of the Capitol! How could you NOT see this coming! For four years now President Bone Spurs has been playing these suckers like a harpsichord. Of course Trump didn't want to lose power -- his big stinky posterior is likely to end up in prison now that he's out of office. This desperate despot would resort to anything to avoid it, no lie was too outrageous, nothing was!

And sadly, we have plenty of fools eager to buy into him. The first to come to mind are the Proud Boys. Boys are the right word for them! If you need a gun to be a man, you aren't much of one! They are a sorry lot. Unfortunately these are dangerous dumb asses.

Why are we even talking prison terms? That's NOT the way to deal with insurrectionists & traitors! They should all be hanged or shot starting with Trump along with anyone within the Capitol walls who aided them! -- That's exactly what they planned for all opposing them!!! Journalists and the media were actually referred to as "soft targets".

Trump didn't even step in and try to stop them as they searched the Capitol for his own Vice President to hang on their makeshift gallows outside! These are Banana-Republicans whose antics are straight out of a Third World playbook!

And did you notice that not one of these dupes was pardoned after doing the con's bidding? -- The joke is on you, SUCKERS!!!  LOL

First, they were idiot enough to give allegiance to a sleazy con like Trump rather than their own country. Second, these domestic terrorists didn't even wear masks while committing their crimes. And third, they took selfies! These cretins are too stupid to live anyway!!!

Plus they're deranged as well! -- Hillary Clinton never ran a child porn ring out of a pizza parlor!  It's naive to believe these wacko cultists can be deprogrammed. Any concept of unity with this half-wit scum is airy-fairy, pie-in-the sky nonsense! If they were dogs we'd shoot them!

But I seriously doubt they'll ever receive what they truly deserve. Biden has the same flaw as Obama, he's too nice! And that just doesn't cut it when dealing with people of this caliber. Unfortunately it places Biden and the current administration as well as journalists and others under constant danger. This is unacceptable!!!

NEW YEAR, BIG MINOR CHANGES

 

Since I don't own a cellphone to take selfies for social media, every birthday that ends in a 5 or a 0 I have a professional portrait taken. And one with a tremendous zero was fast approaching!

I hired Photos by Martina. She is a beautiful woman who looks more like someone who should be walking a runway in Paris or Milan rather than behind a camera. I first met her 10 years ago at a Business Networking Luncheon.

I was delighted to learn that her home studio is only minutes up the road from me. Martina told me that her sister lives in my neighborhood. Well this gave me pause!!! -- I sure hope she wasn't that woman with Trump's name plastered all over her body who knocked on my door. The one I swore at and told to get off my property!

Moving right along, before my photo session another tooth cracked and broke off. I couldn't get a dentist appointment until 2 days after the shoot. Fortunately it was a back tooth but still visible when I smiled wide. I had to constantly remember to angle my head so it wouldn't show.

After the updated photo was posted on Facebook I deleted the majority of my photo albums there. I left ones from business networking luncheons, plus a few from the 80's and my childhood. I want to put an end or at least reduce strangers snooping! Other than what's posted on my Timeline no one has any business going there. Yet plenty do and it always creeps me out!

I can't fathom a person whose life is so dull and empty they would need to ferret thru a total stranger's photographs. Plus I don't like pushy or nosey people!!! The excuse always given is, "I wanted to see what you are all about." That's B.S.!  If they were honestly interested they would be reading my blog, not going thru my photos!

Well this is a brand new year, new decade, thankfully we have a new and improved President, and I just hit age 70 last week so I'm starting fresh from here! In my life at least the past is over and gone!

I'm working on a new novel (a supernatural thriller & mystery) I hope to publish in 2021.The plot consists of several stories within a story, but it all ties together at the end.

I'm keeping the previous photo on my business page because it looks more authorish.  -- That's not a word, but it should be. This is the photo I will use on the book cover.

Finally I made a sacrifice I was avoiding! I cut my newspaper delivery to Wednesday & Sundays only to save money. I read it online the rest of the week now and this is an adjustment. I miss my pre-dawn stroll out to the end of my driveway in the fresh morning air along with spreading the pages out on the floor and reading them under my bedroom window. But at least I'm left with 2 days for that.

Thankfully the online version has larger print and is easier on my now impaired vision. That's one good thing! Besides all the flashes, floaters, and the big shadow in my left eye; I now have 2 more floaters to drive me straight up the walls! One is high up on my left eye & is always flying around like an annoying gnat. The other flashes across my right eye like a comet.

Seems I'm spending most of my time (too much) online now.

I'm just hoping there won't be numerous power outages in the coming year and beyond. But then, this is Vero Beach where they refuse to bury the lines, so I'm not optimistic. That's one thing that will probably never change!

And the mystery of the Egyptian Mau has been solved! The kitty belongs to a new neighbor.

THE GIGANTIC SEVEN OMG

 

Yesterday it happened! I share the same birthday as Elvis Presley and Kim Jong-Un. One's dead, one's alive, and I'm somewhere in between.

My 70th has arrived. I still look good despite the fact that I'm coming apart from the inside.

Our society, like soon to be ex-President Pussy Grabber believes women have expiration dates. It's not kind to older women. However I am always good to myself because others are not.

"Once you hit your 70's," a friend told me, "be prepared to be for all kinds of ailments you never knew existed before."

Geez, I thought that already happened in my 60's! Before then, I'd never heard of neuropathy, trichodynia, peripheral edema, or posterior vitreous detachment.

"Hang on," she said. "It's just the beginning."

Oh joy, I can hardly wait!

At Walmart I saw a package of light bulbs claiming to last 18 years. I wondered if I would still be alive by then. -- My mother died at age 72. Before cancer took her down she was the healthiest of all her contemporaries. She didn't drive, walked every place and rarely went to the doctor. Before her cancer, she'd only been hospitalized to give birth.

Life moves at warp speed now and it's scary! Also at this age I know more people who are dead than alive, most of whom I don't want to be reunited with in the afterlife.

A psychic once told me that spirits of those close to me in previous lives were always around. Perhaps that explains my feeling of disconnect with the flesh and blood people in my life. They were never my crowd.

I've read that our world shrinks as we age. Seniors become isolated and shut-ins. However if other seniors are like me, this isn't by choice or lack of interest! Being on a fixed income combined with inflation and exorbitant medical expenses makes it too damn expensive to go out and do anything now.

If money was no object, I'd be traveling the world constantly and treating myself to all kinds of things both there and here. But that's not my reality; I'm forced to live within my budget.

However I'm not unhappy; I enjoy life in spite of this. The Christmases I've spent alone have been the most wonderful of all, -- just not the last one! 2020 was an anomaly, period!

Despite everything, I wouldn't want to be anyone else but me. Yes, I do envy people who have more disposable income, but if I could switch places with them, I wouldn't! I'd be miserable living their lives.

Never do I put my happiness in the hands of others. The best part of life now is that I no longer have to live up or down to anyone else's expectations. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. At long last, I've been set free!
