Just My Personal Opinion, Of Course...

  When I wake up very early in the morning and be in the middle of a discussion during work hours from about 20 years ago, I have to wonder, now what? This time I turned over and went back to sleep only to wake hours later in the same type of work conversations... So I began to explore...what's happening in life that has brought back PTSD nightmares--remembering the confusion and anger that led me to realize I had no choice but to retire, earlier than I'd planned. I had been fortunate in my career, loving the work I was doing as I moved from office to office, getting promoted, better pay... Until I was promoted into a position that was beyond the clerical roles there... To a boss who taught me what was needed to centralize classroom scheduling and management for an entire campus... Something you must learn on the job, since there is no training, at least at that time... Again, I was loving it, gaining knowledge, working with faculty and deans and the Provost for Instruction, wi...

  By the time I was promoted to Associate Director of Facilities Planning and Management, which I later learned had been negotiated by my former boss, Bill Campbell, Director, I'd had over 30 years in the administration of West Virginia University. The last years of that career were changed by...white men seeking power... until I went into Job Burnout trying to deal with men who knew nothing about my job... It is now Day !?! (Who knows how long it will last?) of the shutdown, with soldiers not being paid, their family begging for exempting them from the closure... With more people being fired, with the democratic party being blamed for not being willing to support a decision to take away health care to millions... Do they really think anybody other than these White Supremacists Men think we believe their shenanigans, their lies, their game playing?!? I've been listening to Frank Shaeffer who says that he's an atheist who prays... I liked the fact that he is willing to share...

  Yeah, right... 

  "Come on out, Mike," the man said in a deep, self-assured voice.  "I mean you no harm.  I'm here to help you." Help, my ass.  That voice couldn't possibly belong to the one Milton's men had left behind.  True, Mike had called for backup, but they wouldn't be looking for him in this dump.  Besides, he knew everyone on the force and, despite the darkness, Mike felt positive this guy wasn't one of them. "Hiding is pointless.  I can see you." It was a trick.  Mike ground his teeth together, itching to pull the trigger.  Suddenly, the need for revenge overpowered common sense.  Mike felt a rush of hatred, so powerful it overtook all sense of reason.  Like a slow but insidious poison, revulsion seeped through his veins. Scrambling to his feet, he lunged toward the silhouette in the darkness, still clutching his weapon in his right hand.  With lightning reflexes, the man gripped Mike's wrist with one hand. "You ready to talk now, Mi...

  Hi Everybody, I hope you read this post first because I wanted to share my personal growth of what has evolved in my own relationship with God... It is quite interesting, or, I suppose, uniquely my plan for life as written by the Great I AM...  For He has certainly taken my thoughts in early life and changed me into an individual who is quite the opposite of what an individual may be, given my background and family. Before going further, I just have to hope that you enjoyed the last several videos above that kept popping up... Maybe when Bamm Bamm was over, the YouTube genies decided to continue the music... I loved them all--they have a wonderful message with lots of emotions! I just finished Some Like it Hotter , yes, a free book that I automatically signed up for and really didn't take the time to know what it's about, although I recognized that the title was an offshoot from an old production...  These days I'm having problems with names, like most older folks ultim...

  The Past Is Prologue... I'll be posting on this book, as usual, for Book Readers Heaven, but while I was reading, I found myself again wondering... How does a single book get to my attention at a time when they seem most appropriate for TODAY?  This book takes us back to the beginning of time and presents, mainly, the ongoing arguments between religion and science... My faith in God is real. There is no questions in my mind that there is the Great I AM! Other than that, and as you already know, I do not even know what "Conservatives" are supposed to be as it relates to politics. E.G., I'd never heard of Charlie Kirk until he was...dead... What I mean by that is that, apparently wherever this man was, he was never on any of the news stations I've watched. So, this morning, a video pops up as I was looking for the book trailer for Old Earth. I was not impressed. There I said it. But, really, folks, when an announcement that somebody is dead, do you immediately go ...

Recently, I got up, did the routine of feeding my cats first, and then turned on the 10PM news from the previous night. I normally start reading around 5PM most days and, if a book is really good or close to ending, I may continue to read on until I give that latest read a ranking which is sent to GoodReads and Amazon... I was, as so many others were, devastated to learn of more children being killed or hurt at a school... I am, I now admit it, in deep depression during which I can be triggered constantly by outside actions... How can we continue to claim to be a land of the free when children are murdered by those who are allowed to have guns to enter schools and shoot! And the very next report shows a man attacked on the street by ICE, taken to the ground and beaten by at least 4 men! This is not the exact video from that program, but it occurs so frequently that it always shows the exact image--a lone man, or woman, being attacked violently by men wearing masks, sometimes with no id...

  Hi Everybody,  Aside from sharing the above video for your information, once again showing just how bad it is here in America, I wanted to steal from DJT for the first time in my life, stating, "I hadn't thought about it..." Yesterday, I had what most people call a "last straw" moment... Do you ever get to a point when you know there is nothing you can do, but you are frustrated so much that you decide I just have to protest! Yes, of course, I've been protesting regarding the administration in the U.S., but this was much more personal... You see, a number of years ago, I had to have cataracts removed from both of my eyes. But, at the last moment, at least it now seems to me, I was "told" that they would be adding my prescription for my eyes directly into my eyes... Not having time to even think or realize what that might mean for my life, I responded "Cool!" and the procedures were schedule one right after the other. Now I want to quick...
