LOL, that was the first one I meant to highlight. Also the irony of old ladies on medicare at Tai Chi - my neighbor is 70 and works out six days a week, doing the squat-walking with huge hand weights,

Ahhh, so there IS one skill you supposedly lack, but I supposedly have! LOL! Of course I read all your poems and freewrites and anything else. You have been a loyal friend, never doubting me, nor seeing

Mark Twain thought his best novel by far was the one about Joan of Arc Nobody today has heard of it... "The Nutcracker" was the least favorite (most disliked!) composition of Tchaikovsky. He

Your freewrites are so fun, so full of surprises. You are the master of the unexpected, and the fresh twist. I still have some of this stuff in my sewing bins! I've never used it--too intimidating for

Before Freddy, there was Eddie - what a beautiful creature! And what a beautiful poem! This: I sometimes wonder why I have pets at all, or love anyone at all, because the loss of them is so terrible. Why

I love good news and stories of healing. Keep telling them. :)

Sam, are you familiar with this "Polyface" method? A one-star reviewer (see link below) doesn't recommend the book. The photo on the front cover caught my eye. Polyface Designs: A Comprehensive

Interesting! Futuristic, sci-fi, post-apoca-typian, set in a new world. You remind me of missionaries in africa couldn't grow garden vegetables without pollinators - the seeds sprouted, the plants grew

"Herbs and anointing, with prayer has healed four known tumors" - thank God you're healing from this! Thank you for all the information you share. You could write a book on all the unconventional

Good advice. THANK YOU. I keep hard copy instructions with each kit, and pray I never need any of them! ... we should be digging daily, to learn as much as possible...just in case. Please remember that

I feel your pain! Two months since you posted this (I'm always late to the party) - you may be two YEARS dealing with the aftermath. This reminds me of the August 2020 derecho: This kind of tree they call

Your photos are brilliant, bright, colorful, beautiful, inviting. YES! But come on up those stairs and sit a spell with me. There is something very friendly about a visit on someone's front porch. yes

Project Lockstep. The lockdown. Maskers and vaxers accusing the resisters of being selfish, cruel, evil people who'd spread a disease rather than suffer the inconvenience of staying home or wearing masks

"Was the government teaching school-children to hide under their desks just to induce fear and funnel black tax money into a fake Cold War arms race?" - that, I could believe. But this - I struggle

You believe the moon landing was faked....? You don't believe the earth is flat, do you....? My husband is scoffing at the idea of nuclear bombs not having caused the damage to Heroshima and Nagasaki.

So many many things to ponder and comment on - the one I seize first: my first book, written at the age of ten, was the story of a child who had to experience the aftermath of a nuclear war while he journeyed

Wow!!! You have so many many blog posts I need to catch up on. This - must get my EE husband (electrical engineer, god of electromagnetic radio waves or frequencies or something like that) to read this!

Why read dystopian fiction when you live in one? Funny. Since 2013 or thereabouts, I began to grow weary of all the post-apoca-topia, my term for the ubiquitous and annoying post-apocalyptic-dystopian

Oh dear, I guessed wrong. I was certain this is the haiku I had seen before: a sleepless night my body’s edges obscured where do I begin? Woodpecker... Dogs at dawn waking us... It's all very very relatable.

Love it! My "tin foil" apparel is made from silver-lined and radiation-blocking fabrics. Seriously, I'll be looking into this now. (Grounding/barefoot, wand-holding, why not the tinfoil!) Spot-on,
