Just A Thought

 The slowest story ever told.  This is the story of the remainder of Donald Trump’s presidency.  

 I love these kinds of optical illusions.  It’s another one where different people’s brains see and interpret it differently.  For quite a while, I could see nothing but a bag clip sitting on top of the counter.  Finally my brain altered my perception, and I could see the bag clip sunken into the counter.  Now this is my brains, default interpretation of this image and I see the sunken bag clip more readily than I can see the bag clip on top of the counter.  This is strange.  Some people said that they at first could only see the sunken bag clip and they couldn’t see the bag clip on top of the counter. 

  I want this mug.  It so perfectly reflects what is going on with our president and his presidency.  Maybe in the future, he might be crowned with the title of the 21st century mad President King.   There is a hidden message in these lines.

 I just had a thought about Mr. Trump’s magical power.  It’s amazing how he can always spin a loss and turn it into a belief that he has won big!   It seems that he doesn’t hold any Trump cards with Iran.  He has lost the war.  

 

America 250 🇺🇸 It is really unfortunate that the year of America’s 250th anniversary is actually a really bad year for America.  Everyone has to go ahead with celebrating an America that doesn’t really exist at present.  The present state of our country certainly puts a damper on the meaning and spirit of our countries anniversary and this year’s celebrations. 😔  I take it back.  America does still exist to the American people. People do still care about celebrating our countries 250th anniversary and consider it to be a big deal despite the current mess with our government & leadership at the national level.  They don’t define America.  The people do. 🇺🇸 🎉🎊 I have tears in my eyes writing about this. 😭

 Well said. 👍 https://youtu.be/At9gznfg9mo?si=CyV50lJfve4LcsCR

Wow, is this like the beginning of the coexistence of humans and robotic humanoids?  I’m kind of joking, but we don’t know what kind of wild future our world is in for.  https://youtu.be/glfTpD9iKhs?si=uAaz4iU4ZxWAsZjy

  Right Donald.  I’m sure that you can have conversations with Iran that will magically result in a complete and total resolution of hostilities after you have bombed the shit out of the country and murdered their leaders and civilians, including school children, when they did nothing to America to justify or provoke the attack.  You were proudly proclaiming to have decimated Iran militarily, economically and otherwise.  I’m sure the Iranians are really in the mood to release all hostilities and engage in peaceful negotiations with the United States of America.  No big deal, all is forgiven.  The time is now to let all bygones be bygones. 🙄  It is also a brilliant strategy to attempt to conduct productive negotiations and a resolution of hostilities in a situation where these negotiations must go according to your wishes within a time frame of 5 days in order for you to not follow through with your threats of conducting military strikes against Iran’s...

 This is the best app game I have ever played. 😄 Sometimes it takes me more than one or two tries to get through a level, but I can always eventually finish the levels with the number of moves allowed.  Whenever this ceases to be possible is when I stop playing app games.  Thus far, this has not happened with this app. 😄👍 I did pay for no ads, which was totally worth it!  It would pretty much be impossible to play with the ads. 

 My favorite cleaning supply that can be very helpful with lots of different cleaning tasks is the melamine sponge! 👏🙌 Lucky are they who are privy to the secret of its powers!  They are very inexpensive when purchased on Amazon in packages of 100.  I believe I am reflecting on my appreciation of the melamine sponge after it was very helpful today in making a cleaning task very easy.  A damp melamine sponge made the task of dust removal from a strange fabric covered light fixture very easy!  This required trips to the sink for rinsing, but who cares when you have a little cleaning wonder that can perform small miracles like no other cleaning supplies can.  https://a.co/d/07bTREoc

 I’m definitely a big fan of words.  Numbers and math aren’t my thing but I love words!  I can’t stop playing this game.  I just keep restarting and re-trying with each level if necessary until I succeed with the number of moves allowed.  At least maybe I will spend less time looking at news. 🤢

  I had been thinking about the possibility of Iran or Iranian allies striking back against the United States here in the United States.  I don’t know why people, including our president, would just assume that this doesn’t happen and can’t happen.  Why would anyone assume at this point in the 21st-century that the United States could launch an offensive and unjustified war against another country and not be at risk for any retaliation here in the United States.  You would think that 9/11 should’ve taught everyone that other countries can launch attacks against the United States here in the United States.  What does Iran have to lose when the United States is already launching and all out offensive attack against them?

  I just thought about library card catalogs.  It’s pretty wild to reflect on the fact that when I was young, we had to go to libraries if we needed or wanted to find information about anything.  Then we had to look in card catalogs to see what books or other resources were available at the library.  This seems incredibly primitive in comparison to the way things are now.  I don’t know what’s more crazy.  The seeming primitiveness of the way things were when I was young, or the level of technology that now exists just a few decades later.   Could things really be so different within a single lifetime?!!  I know I have reflected on this before and I feel convinced that surely there must not have ever been any other time in the history and evolution of humanity when things changed so quickly in such a short span of time.  Okay maybe except for the people during whose lifetime they figured out how to create fire.  I can imagine this was pre...

This song was around when my children were young.  I loved it as an adult. The audio sounds a little different, but this is the original video. https://youtu.be/MYXJlfcfFKU?feature=shared  

 While at the Dollar Tree,  I opened and was flipping through this book.  It looked like an interesting and nice book until I closed the cover again and noticed the upper left corner.  🤢 Maybe the stories that people wrote were okay but I have zero trust in Fox News. 😒

 Damn scammers.  I had my first experience today of believing that I was communicating via email with a friend who was making a request for help only to discover that her email had been hacked and I was communicating with a scammer and not this friend.  People can really suck. 

 Happy Presidents’ Day to Presidents, citizens and patriots of the United States of America! May our country always find its way way through times of darkness and light to fulfill its destiny as a nation of freedom, opportunity, and equality for all men, women, and children.  May the beacon of America’s light never truly be extinguished and may this light always shine its way toward a bright and promising tomorrow.  ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸🙏  🎉 I’m sorry about your enlarged head, Mr. Trump.  This is what the AI image generator gave me.  I guess it has a sense of humor. 🫢😅 Update: I realize that truth be told Trump does not deserve any apologies.  Not as an adult for all his harmful actions as a person in positions of power and authority and not as an elected official and world leader.

 We can always count on the RGV to see trees for all seasons.  Alas I have no Irish ancestry.  I had hoped to find some to give me a reason to identify with and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day but I have non. 🌲 ☘️
