First, choice. Saw a cartoon where a woman is deciding between a man who attempted a coup and wants to be dictator, and an 80-year-old man. Personally, I completely agree that 80 is too old. We need young people who grew up in the ‘modern’ world, but I would still choose the 80 year old, because he is at least trying to do good for the country, and make life better for the citizens, unlike the buffoon of the other party, who just wants power and control over our daily lives.
Second, what is up with Firefox? Some pages don’t load at all, I keep keep ‘non-responsive’. This is just the past few days. Is it the heat? Has the fox gotten heat stroke or something? Come on, Firefox. Get with it.
A couple more that I have been thinking about for a bit. Well, my brain is drain and I have totally forgotten one of them, but the other is I watched a couple of movies about the Windermere Children, 300 children brought to England when the camps were closed in the Holocaust. They were brought to a facility by Lake Windermere and lived there for four months while they were eased into life without Nazis. It was very uplifting, but also very horrific when it was mentioned how they could see the chimneys glowing and see the smoke 24 hours a day while people, including thousands of children, were cremated. The horrific treatment, the starvation, the hell some of them spent their entire lives in up to that point. Almost all of them had lost their entire families to the Nazis. Here is an article about it:
I see pictures of people proudly wearing Nazi-themed clothing, giving the Hitler salute, pouring out hate and vitriol, and all I can think is, what if it were your children? Is it okay so long as it’s children of people you hate? What kind of human being are you? It is completely disgusting, appalling, horrific to think that it happened in the first place, but more so that there are people who are happy about it and want more.
Okay, remembered the second one. Prince Charles at 70. Five years ago. Harry had recently gotten married. He and William were interviewed for this and the difference between that Harry and the one we are seeing now is remarkable. I am wondering has he been brainwashed? Something has gone seriously wrong in those five years. It is kind of disturbing. And sad. Not sure whether to think he is an utter moron, or feel really, really sad for him.
I, my own little (HA!) self, have been struggling even more than usual. So much pain. The other day I could barely move. Awake all night most nights, and then sleeping in bits and pieces all morning. One day I slept for 15 minutes. Fifteen Minutes. Come on, body, what is going on here. My brain is not working at all well, I have gone pretty deaf in the only ear that really worked, my eyesight keeps getting worse. And we have murdered the planet with our gross greed and stupidity. Parasites, willfully destroying the host we need to stay alive.
On the other hand, loving my new toaster oven/air fryer, got a new battery for my kindle keyboard. I replaced it a few years ago. Both keyboards, in fact. My oldest one has bit the dust. The battery does not seem dead, but the screen is just frozen in a very wonky manner. The newer (refurbished) one is just getting so slow, and I may try the battery in the old one, but definitely the newer one. I also bought an Oasis during the Amazon “OMG, we are having a sale. You know, when we raise prices then mark them down to still higher than they were and call it a bargain’. Because it has side buttons. It is still crap, and if you have ever seen or used a kindle keyboard, you will know exactly why I say that.
Anyway, me and Gertrude are plugging along, gone out a few times with my friend to do a bit of shopping (hanging off a carriage so I don’t fall down in pain). I’d say, in spite of all of it, things are going pretty well. I have really good friends, and something to laugh about on a daily basis. And Gertrude, who cracks me up on a daily basis. She is without a doubt, the stupidest cat that ever lived. Highly amusing. LOL It’s all good. Relatively speaking. LOLOL
