Narcissists can never be held to facts, for only Their Truth, as they define it, matters.
"We will be a nation of meritocracy," he says in his speech today, the world's cameras upon him.
Well, darlin', I present Exhibit A: Pete Hegseth, a TV personality whose only corporate-management responsibility was rife with stories of his mismanagement, corruption…
It has begun: the annual search for a paper calendar-planner which,
-- I think I'll use,
-- I envision as integral to some future life organization,
-- I hope will somehow make / help me be "on top of things."
Purchased each year.
Rarely used.

Yet another reason to love living in Maryland!

If there is one thing that has continued to be true about my life, it's how much my life keeps surprising and delighting me. Years ago when my father bought Buffalo Gap Retreat center, it wasn't the happiest of moments in our family (the purchase was, as it is called, "the straw that broke the…
Folks, it ain't WATER that hydrates you internally; it's water with lots of electrolytes in it that creates the conditions to open your cells for water/hydration to go in and for waste to come out.

I wrote, the other night, a haiku expressing both my hate of mosquitos and my joy in the splattering of their bodies, blood-filled or not. I then posted my haiku on Facebook, which apparently inspired others to write and add their own, and for me to write a couple more.

The random not-randomness of life, chapter gajillion and 473.
So, in the last two days I've been in this "let's do it, fall is coming, things have been sitting around too long" mode of getting rid of some items (some mine, some my mother's) by way of my local Buy Nothing group. So, here I am…
I am the maker of many-things-dehydrated. I am the maker of cowboy candy, which I find incredibly delicious and zingy. I am the maker of soaked walnuts and other soaked nuts, though there is not much *making* involved in such activities.
