I don't really have a point, other than to see how it is going and tell everyone "Hello!" and wish all a wonderful April. Maybe I will have a point soon! It might be political, or about one of my favorite 13 TV shows, or a remark about a new Macca song, or just a memory of one of my favorite screeds of yesteryear. We shall see.....
Hello everyone!

In the Christian religion, patience is one of the most valuable virtues of life. Increasing patience is viewed as the work of the Holy Ghost in the Christian who has accepted the gift of salvation. While patience is not one of the traditional biblical three theological virtues nor one of the traditional cardinal virtues, it is part of the fruit of the Holy SpiritSo it is. This is where I worklol

A very nice thread indeed! Well, I shall endeavor to discover more patience within myself, and pass it along to others as I go along my way!
Unclear? Well, sometimes the road is clear, and my mind is clear, and sometimes not! So now I go to sleep hoping to wake up very clear headed for another lovely day!

I will! I hope you are being "symbolic" about the two months! I would like to finish my album and get my apartment all cleaned up and say my druthers to folks I have in mind! Good druthers for the better part, of course!

This sounds like a thread I would have started. I keep coming back....but I'm not sure why.....when you've exhausted the Paul was replaced situation, I'm not sure what's left unless Sir Paul starts his own reality show...Perhaps "Who Wants to be the Next Paul Mc Cartney"?

court room komedy
" from a book called Disorder in the Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place.

WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male. _____________________________________ ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ______________________________________ ATTORNEY: Doctor , how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?

WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question?
______________________________________ And last:
ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No.. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law."

復興ふくしま 3.11から 3年目の闘い 帰村 悩む子育て世代 「子の健康心配」 飯舘区域再編あす1年 除染遅れ 先見えず 安心な生活へ 即急に制度を ■菅野村長に聞く (2013年7月16日 福島民友)
全村避難が続く飯舘村の計画的避難区域が、3区域(帰還困難、居住制限、避難指示解除準備)に再編されてから17日で1年となる。再編後は、賠償や村内での事業再開のほか、復興住宅整備などを盛り込んだ復興計画が進められているが、国直轄の除染は大幅に遅れており、復興への影響が懸念される。「いつ帰村するか」「どこに生活拠点を置くか」。村民の頭から消えることのない問題が横たわり、子育て世代にとってはその決断と選択が一層複雑なものになっている。 同村児童委員の長正サツキさん(66)と佐藤まき子さん(60)が福島市飯野町に約1年前に再開した子育てサロンには約20組の村の親子が集う。長正さんは「同じ状況の人が集まる場所ができたことで、避難先での苦労や食の安全などの話を共有できている」と話す。 「娘の健康状態が一番の不安。心配は一生続くと思う」。サロンを利用する斎藤陽菜さん(32)が最も憂慮するのは長女菜々ちゃん(1)の健康だ。村は除染終了後の帰村判断基準に空間放射線量「年間5ミリシーベルト(毎時1マイクロシーベルト)以下」を挙げている。一方で国の除染計画では全20行政区の居住地周辺、農地の除染を本年度までに終了させるとしているが、15日現在で本年度中の除染開始が予定されているのは4行政区のみ。 斎藤さんは「放射線の影響が出るといわれているのは何年も先。放射線が避難前の状態にならない限り村には帰れない」と打ち明ける。川俣町の村小学校仮設校舎に子ども2人を通わせる佐藤順子さん(31)は「学校が川俣にある限りは帰還しない。ただ、教育設備が戻った場合の対応は決めかねている」と教育面への不安を挙げる。

I'm taking part in this, as I do appear and disappear for months on end, and then come here to stick my head in this crazy world. I do like to put my two cents in here and there, and everywhere. But when Dr. Robert gives out his happy pills, I need to interject my observations, even if only to babble my utterings for my own "venting". Perhaps someone reads this and understands, or doesn't understand, but finds humor in the babblings.
Life can be so unkind, confusing, and observing the lives of others can also be one of "entertainment", even if it seems to be a strange task of observation rather than participation.
We need to address the babblings and seek wisdom from it or in spite of it. Sometimes we get entertained as well as learn something.... even if only to be thankful for the madness in your own life that it's not as bad as someone else's madness.
Seek peace, love to all and realize you are as old as your arteries....
You may try to feed it with healthier food, or supplement you way to a happy, healthy place, trying to return to the days of one's youth, perhaps try to tint the hair, trying to erase time by covering the gray, but it's still gray hair tinted over. One may try to find the fountain of youth through elixirs, wrinkle creams, facial gadgets that are supposed to"exercise" the face to erase the footprints of time on one's face. I've even seen signs at a local "beauty" shop that has a cream for wrinkles on one's neck. But I say this, stop fighting the signs of aging by thinking that creams will erase the years, or the appearance of aging, wear a scarf or turtleneck, or for those who are dapper, wear an ascot. Hmmmm. For those who have the money that can afford a plastic surgeon, no amount of botox, collagen, or facelifts can turn back the clock.
I say grow old, face it and deal with is as part of life's process. Being that there are more baby boomers than other age groups, stop trying to look like you're 35, or thinking you look 35...be what you are. Take care of what you have left...and stop trying to go back to what was, or what you thought of as "what was".
Okay, my happy pills are kicking in, inspite of the physical affliction that has kept me from work this day. Even in sickness, trying to find some sense of things, and making it humorous, even for one or two people to read and chuckle, or consider, it's worth the effort. I'm hoping that in some time DOC even gets a chuckle out of this, for DOC is part of that "baby boomer" age group....Let us wear our wrinkles with pride, and not be ashamed of those threads of silver that are coming through the follicles of life....and though we may be having more difficulty getting out of our chairs, or grunting when we have to bend over to pick something up off the floor, and even if we have more difficulty digesting raw vegetables as we did when we were younger, let us press onward with our walkers, canes, hernia belts and "Depends"...even if we don't have the teeth we were born with,and have less hair, and things have sagged below the equator, stop thinking we have to look young to feel young.....
May this go well with you...if you dare....and if you have drudged forward with my ramblings...be of good cheer....
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's going to run to him.....
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn....
Even Bill the Paul Mc Cartney impersonator points the way....
May this serve you well.....
