I grew up near birds for almost my entire life, beginning at age 5 when I lived in Long Beach Long Island, NY. On the beach in Long Beach there were so, so, so many seagulls. I enjoyed watching their behavior sitting alone on the sand in early Fall. Such bullies. Survival I suppose. If you sit and watch them for a while, you will see how clever they are….
The Bathroom Behind the Food Inventory When I was in high school and still working for the Diocese of Rockville Center, on Long Island, New York. The Diocese (the Catholic Church) had it’s main office in Rockville Center. I started working there when I was in my group home; the group home administration asked me if I would be interested in a special assignment. The special assignment turned out was…

Well, I lived the first 30 years without… meaning paycheck to paycheck. Then I remarried and life got easier. Actually, completely different. Completely alien to me … I was allowed to hire a cleaning lady, a landscaper … what? I was extremely uncomfortable. I was more familiar as the worker bee these people were. I felt guilty. It took me over 10 years to stop feeling bad. I felt undeserving….
Bad energy can be like germs….germs that give you a cold or the flu …. because you’ve been in contact. Negative energy just LOVES to rub off and spread itself around. The American Indian believes that White Sage (a dried plant), when burned, used in a ceremonial prayer will remove negative energy. I provide instructions below. DON’T DO WHAT I DID ONCE! IF YOU SMUDGE IN THE WINTER, OPEN THE…

PREPARATION….BE A GOOD PARENT! Please don’t leave your children confused, bewildered or a dang mess! I expect to live to my mid-70’s or perhaps a bit longer since I have lived and taken much better care of my health and fitness than my ancestors. However, when our children are grown, our responsibility as parents is far from done in so very many ways. There is one aspect that many do…
In news recently there have been many prominent, powerful, wealthy men accused of sexual misconduct. Yes, #MeToo. But, the common response from many of the accused has been that they will take time for soul searching. And that is good. However, I am tired of this poor response of “soul searching”. Hey, most of these men have a boatload of money. So do something useful… do some pocket searching and donate…
I was raised Catholic. That just meant that I went to Catholic church on occasion, when my mother remembered to send me to church; of course I got baptized and I made my communion but not confirmation. My grandmother was a nun fanatic and about the Catholic Church. As I got older I stopped following the Catholic Church at all. What the hell is with this limbo …eternal fog? Who’s…
When we were at the MGM in Las Vegas, it turned out that it was the same time that the Latin Grammys were being held there. There were so many people at the MGM dressed so beautifully for this event. I’m a little social butterfly. So I went up to these people and congratulated them on how lovely they looked, wish them a lovely event and asked if I could…
