Some years ago, I visited Montevideo, Uruguay and spent some time with the mementoes of the sinking of the Graf Spee, mainly a large eagle and an anchor. Today, I'm watching a movie about the sinking of the Graf Spee. Yeah, connections everywhere!

Here's a photo we can all post on June 14. You're welcome😁👊

Gandalf said: Saruman believes it is only great power that keeps evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love.

My cat, Sis, (7 years) loves being outdoors! (We live on 3 acres.) She only comes inside to eat or if the weather is bad.

She's like that nosy neighbor that NEEDS to know everything that's going on!

The times that she sleeps inside, I love to feel her purring next to me as I fall asleep.

Trump is the Harvey Weinstein of Presidents. Weinstein is in jail and Trump is not. What's the difference? Both wealthy and powerful yet Weinstein was convicted and sentenced to jail and is in jail. Trump is President. How did this happen? I'm guessing it's the puppetmasters behind Trump.

Why aren't ALL the former Presidents speaking out? If every one of them spoke out against what is happening and reinforced the basic concepts of power and the rule of law, it could make a big difference. Especially George Bush.

The Trump Administration cutting back or eliminating daycare centers on military bases is a big "FUCK YOU" to women serving in the armed forces --- and-- single Dads! Just the beginning of big changes coming for military women, I'm sure. Bit by bit returning women to drivers and secretaries.

Am now the proud foster Mom to a tiny, naked squirrel that my cat and I found on the ground. Just a couple of weeks old, hairless and blind. Feed every two hours, once during the night. He's now called "FBS" Fucking Baby Squirrel. lol Already spent $60 on this guy = to one week's groceries!

I'm going to learn to code so I can make my tech do what I need without spending hours going through apps already available that don't really do what I need done. Well, yes, it will take me hours to learn to code - but - then FREE-DOM!

Today, I begin my journey to "uncouple" with Amazon. I am fully entwined in it all and piece by piece, will dismantle that relationship.

Today, looking at Tubi as an alternative to Prime Video; got a new Library card and signed up for ebooks; checking Costco against my Amazon subscriptions, etc.

I was lying down and my cat came and looked at me. I said, "Do you want to go out?" and she meowed. I got up and let her out.

Has anyone read the newest Executive Order which takes over.........everything and is clearly a coup? We apparently now have to depend on Congress (sigh) and law enforcement and military to uphold their oath to the Constitution. Get ready people, things are about to go to shit.

Trying to Predict: What Next?

What next in this insane US government? Women. First with military women - NO women in ANY combat role and put pressure on high-level women officers to retire. Fewer women admitted to military academies and no sexual harassment reporting. As a start...

Today, January 20, 2025, is a day that will live in infamy. Inauguration of a convicted felon, sex offender, racist as President of the United States.

The irony of this happening on Martin Luther King Day.

83-year-old here who just opened a shop on Etsy! It wasn't easy and my only helper was ChatGPT. lol. It's not much but it's honest work. (And contributes a bit to my income.)
