If there is a movie that I watch over and over again and recommend over and over; it’s Cloud Atlas, which features Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Susan Sarandon. http://amzn.to/2dUNYDa http://amzn.to/2dPOs2h While a lot people will not be interested in this because it seems too sci-fi or who don’t believe in past lives, but weContinue reading “Book and Movie Review: Cloud Atlas”

Unsolicited Advice
When I read Anna Redshaw’s “On Unsolicited Advice” on her blog, M.E., Myself and I ( https://the-slow-lane.com/2021/04/16/on-unsolicited-advice/), it hit home for me, but different reasons. Like Anna, I have chronic illnesses, but unlike Anna, I don’t mind suggestions about how to deal with the pain and disabilities and know they are sharing their ideas becauseContinue reading “Unsolicited Advice”
Too Many Deaths
Between mass shootings and black people being killed by police, you have to wonder why and what you can do about it. Guns and the easy access to get them are just partially to blame. But what is most to blame is attitudes. White supremacy, the selfishness of conservative Christians who are so far awayContinue reading “Too Many Deaths”
Sleazebag Loses
I’m so glad to see that Eyeman finally is being forced to pay for his grifting. He lived off the donations from supporters, money that was supposed to be used for political campaigns, like one of his first; demanding that car tabs be a flat rate and ignoring that the fees from these tabs goContinue reading “Sleazebag Loses”
Hatred and Discrimination
I find it sad that so many people “hate” others who are different. Growing up, I thought everyone thought like I did, that all people were people, even with their differences. As I got older, I felt that maybe racial biases were more of a southern thing until I started seeing the racism all aroundContinue reading “Hatred and Discrimination”
Drinking Tea
I don’t drink coffee, which is weird to a lot of people since I was born and raised in Seattle, the birthplace of Starbucks. I’ve never been a big fan of alcoholic drinks either, not beer or wine and only occasionally mixed drinks. But I do drink a lot of tea; both herbal and teaContinue reading “Drinking Tea”
Republican Short Attention Span and Selective Amnesia
One thing about conservative Republicans or “Trumplicans” is their double standards about rules rights. They demand “religious freedom” for themselves and the demand that no one else gets the same rights, insisting that America is a Christian nation. Spoiler alert: it’s not. They want to determine what others, who don’t follow their own ideas, beliefsContinue reading “Republican Short Attention Span and Selective Amnesia”
priorities
More people died in the FedEx shooting than got blood clots after the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. But when the vaccine showed a problem with a tiny percentage of people, it was immediately stopped. When guns showed a problem with a huge percentage of people, it’s completely ignored.
Responsibility
“You are not guilty of being white, but if you are white and do not act to redress the crimes the system commits against people of color, you are guilty of participating in their oppression. Blame is not the same as responsibility. Responsibility literally means the ability to respond. In other words, to do somethingContinue reading “Responsibility”

1. Fill in the blank. If _____ were bigger, I would like it. My bank account. I could do anything then. 2. Fill in the blank. Oh baby that feels good. Will you _____ my _____ ? Cuff my hands behind my back, strip me naked and spank my ass. Is that too much? 3. If you couldContinue reading “Repost of TMI Tuesday: September 1, 2020: Sex Craze”
