| The CCR gym - legend! |
Woke up with big eye problems yesterday morning. No warning. No nothing.
Tried to just stick it out. That's may newest technique. It's not doing well.
Let's just say...
it wasn't a lot of fun...
It never is....
And I made the blunder of applying too much medication to both eyes...
I really ought to know better by this time. It appears I don't.

| What the heck????
I had my eyes bandaged for most of the day. Stayed inside almost the whole time, but did venture out a few times, once groping my way out to the road. Just wanted to be outside for a bit and get some "air." Wound up standing on what felt like the hardtop. Took a few steps, thought of taking a blindfolded tour of the neighborhood but knew I didn't dare peel off the bandages or the black cloth I had bound over the eyes to block out the light in order to find my way back to the house and was more than dubious about my chances of having someone guide me back. I also didn't know if the redneck skanks were home. Add to that, drivers sometimes speed down my street like it were the 24 hours of Le Mans. Didn't want to chance becoming "road kill." The few times I have encountered traffic on the road, while I was walking blindfolded, I just stepped aside to what I figured was the side of the road and the driver usually just edged by, slowly, most likely wondering WHAT the hell I was doing.
There are times I wonder the same thing.
These two appear to know more about what they are doing in this situation, than I would.
My problem solving techniques seem to be more of a calamity producing technique lately.
That seems to speak volumes all by itself.
Next week I am going to do the photo duties at VBS, at St. Paul the Apostle. Yes, I am somewhat dubious about it, just as I was dubious about attending Val's funeral, but I don't believe that I will take the same action.
Does that mean I am far more intimidated by the presence of Mike the narcissist than I am by Pope Urban the last or the knights of columbus? Not likely, believe it or no. I dreaded an encounter with the Griffins not so much due to fear, but due to a desire to spare everyone else, including myself, the spectacle of an ugly confrontation. Mike would have made some comment about my weight or some remark about my jeep burning up, in his typical insensitive way and I would have invited him to take a lengthy walk on a short pier. That could have precipitated a serious encounter, possibly including Mike getting aggressive, even to the point of getting physical. Didn't want to experience that or subject others to such a thing.
The issue of the 2018 reunion remains. Perhaps things will have mellowed by then. One can hope.
The eyes are beginning to itch once again and I've a fear problems are not far away. Going to the eye doctor does not seem to help. Maybe someone else in the sunshine state will have a solution or, at least, a better one than I am being offered here in North Carolina.
I am usually not so absolute in my opinions, but the meme to the left of this is very accurate.
I can no longer deny that.
What used to be the land of the free and home of the brave has become the realm of the scammer and the cheat and the predator with no moral compass.
Judgmental? Perhaps, but what else am I to think when the alleged
"leader" of the country providers the dilatory example he does and where every phone call and email I get has the potential of speaking to someone who is looking to trick me or steal something? That is reality. That is how things are now.
Republicans are thugs and liars. Being absolute again but most of the ones I've experienced or encountered, are exactly that. They have little concern or knowledge (or both) of what harms the direction they are pushing the country into will bring. How a country like ours could place such people in positions of power galls the hell out of me.
Never have I witnessed nor endured the level of stupid or docility I have seen in the people of North Carolina. So many are simply willing to accept what they are told and choose not to check things out for themselves. What galls me even further is that so many of them are professing "christians."
Really???
Have they read anything in the 25th chapter of Matthew lately or ever?
37“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, #Prov. 14:31; Matt. 10:42; Mark 9:41; Heb. 6:10inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, #Ps. 6:8; Matt. 7:23; Luke 13:27‘Depart from Me, you cursed, #Matt. 13:40, 42into the everlasting fire prepared for #(2 Pet. 2:4); Jude 6the devil and his angels: 42for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, #Prov. 14:31; Zech. 2:8; Acts 9:5inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46And #(Dan. 12:2; John 5:29; Acts 24:15; Rom. 2:7)these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Makes it kind of plain, doesn't it?
 THIS is what we're becoming. We are following the false prophet into the depths of hell. God help us... |
