(But there are much worse things I could have, I realize.)The last several weeks I've not been so good in dealing with anxiety. But I'm strong. I can journey through, a moment at a time.A prayer (even if one is not a believer, it's incredibly good advice, it seems to me) that helps is the Serenity Prayer:God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
The anxiety feels almost crippling at the moment. "Almost" - - so I'll even take solace is knowing it's only "almost," not "totally," crippling at the moment.:):) less

What's very worrisome now is that a Cat 5 hurricane is headed directly for Puerto Rico. About a million folks live there. The Island of Barbuda was destroyed by Irma but the population was very small.Some of the folks who are in Puerto Rico now fled from the Virgin Islands and Irma. Here they go again. Water is being rationed . I hope no one gets too thirsty.

Looking to yourself for solutions. Some whining about how the US pays more than its fair share. Push-Pull between threats and diplomacy. Called Kim Jong-un ROCKETMAN again from the podium on the stage of the United Nations. Elegant, articulate, presidential, thoughtful, substantive, admirable or the exact opposite? What say you? Why?

For an artist who paints on canvas would hand size matter? After all it is the brush that actually touches the canvas, not the hands. For baking I think it takes large strong hands for kneading bread dough and a lot of strength to pull a 25lb roasted turkey out of the oven without dropping it. For a sculptor large strong hands could be an advantage. For a seamstress I don't see how it would matter. For a construction worker the bigger the better because I think we associate bigger with stronger.. less

Is there automatic protection or do you just roll the dice and take your chances?

He wasn't the target but he was caught talking to the target. What did he say that might/could/will incriminate him? One wonders if the "bystander" Trumpfish will yield more than the target fish....incriminating evidence wise. Doesn't one?
When I see travel program set in foreign lands I always see a lot more people riding bikes. Good exercise. No pollution. Less expensive to operate. Why don't Americans do the same?

Something in common that unites the rich and the poor! Both groups "enjoy" having deadbeats among them. Is there a certain status in being wealthy and stiffing people? Do you look up to them, admire them, think they're swell? Getting away with something at the expense of others. Just another day at the office for some. SIGH

If the brats in your family decide to turn your dead a$$ into ashes, then you are a gone case forever.
