Sir BUDDY:  My sidekick and assistant  I wrote this a number of years ago. Thankfully, I can capture these thoughts and moods as they are dispersed into the universe, hoping optimistically, it can help others. My one daughter told me once:  some of her friends, read my blog for shits & giggles when they're drunk. I really haven't imparted that much advice over the years, if anything, sharing that as you enter your 50s, you are charting a new course in life.  No differently than the cliff to leap beyond becomes a metaphor for being at the tip toe point  before you jump :: into a relationship, a new job, a difficult decision, financial security. I haven't written on this blog for quite some time:  I've been dabbling (cheating on this blog) with creating my own domain website - more than once with different providers (I will write about later), sidestepping to Wordpress (which turned out to be less blogger friendly than anticipated, created a great, small

EXASPERATION DESPERATION MOMENTS OF DEPRESSION SPIKES IN ANXIETY are all symptomatic of an employee attempting to adjust to a brutal culture, more military than wellness bent.  MENTAL HEALTH Is an increasing crisis that is rising to the top of society's concerns, bias, alienation, bullying cause this to rise. COMPANIES MUST RISE UP Out of compassion, recognition not by the decrease in productivity, but extreme measures in which to communicate that any form of racism (in any form by way of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, origin or otherwise) even reversed racism:  bias against white skin.  REVERSE DISCRIMINATION is rampant but silent.  The media's credibility is at an alltime low.  Charges of fake news or media focus on despair and violence, of which ratings can be capitalized on and more advertising revenue raised. HOW THE GOVERNMENT LIES There is a phenomenal episode or documentary of HBO (who is not just Game of Thrones content!!) that commu

Under a celebratory mood after decompressing from "another day in the real world" meaning paying the bills so I can retire at freeDUMB75 [my unique self-term ] ... having a few chuckles and many inspirations from circulating around the community online. When I am online, as a form of escapism of the mental or mental-health kind, I am the driver of my path merely by the barest of fingers only by tips, I can navigate what I am reading [mostly] relatively carefree but usually in the knowledge accumulation or enlightenment or humorous vibes. You see, I am the driver, mechanic, doctor, therapist, politician, activist, feminine, enthusiast who loves her city and likes to see the best in everyone and everything.  Unlike so many of us, we've been kicked a few times, had to kick back another moment, if not physically, mentally inclined. My mother and even youngest daughter have communicated that I am too much of the trusting kind.  Then on an excursion adventure minutes fro

Well, if you happen to have a family that includes me (oh dear) a stepdaughter (oh my) and a diva daughter (sigh) ....... then there is the youngest daughter whom I never seem to get into spats with at all.  How is this possible?   Heck, find my THISnTHAT playlist on iTUNES.  I'm just playing SHUFFLE and amazed at what a selection.  Sometimes we even surprise ourselves eh?

SOURCE There are a few things that are really annoying me, but I am really trying to focus on trying to withdraw something positive from this whole experience.  One of the gifts wisdom has so wonderfully bestowed upon me is to try to turn EVERYTHING from wine (or whine) to vinegar (rinse out the anguish) to champagne!  (Pop, let it out.  Let er RIP!)   Well, giggle, snort ... very few people even read my blogs.  Like today, for instance!!  Geez, what a day of a hell on a week bouncing around WIRED.  This really young chap where I work came sauntering in today (yes, that is a great word even for someone not writing a novel or a script ... to be made into a play or a movie ... where she stars opposite that guy who plays the latest Superman and Man from U.N.C.L.E. dreamboat of "if I were 10 or 20 younger....).  I complimented him on his advancement which his chest puffed right out of when he then introduced his brother, whom he was escorting and showing around his new workplac
