Post Black Friday

Hurray hurray we survived

another Black Friday to be archived

With all the shopping done,

there's miles of wrapping paper to be unspun

At present I know where the scissors, tape, labels and pen are

The unwrapped gifts and empty boxes scattered afar

The pile with the wrapped is very small indeed

Now is the time to apply artistic ribbon, not race with speed

With AMAZON PRIME why, I wonder,

Did I have the delivery here to put me under

All the tags and ribbon, bows and tape

What goes to who, who wanted what?

Definitely a new resolution apparently clear

I have to start in January to be done this time next year!

A topic that is too judgMENTAL ::... transgenders

Too few role models: SOURCE A question was posted on QUORA and I felt compelled to respond: Why don't transgender people use the restrooms corresponding to their genitals to try and end the needless transgender bathroom controversy? It is none of our business. This reminds me of things we have to struggle with growing up::…. what IS our identity? What IS our moral standard? Should others have THE right to determine what is best for US? Almost ALL of us in the age of inBETWEENers (born 1960 to 1965, neither Baby Boomers, Generation X, nor Millennials) must REMEMBER what the biggest questions of our day were? If others forgot, I can share with you: Do you or don’t you circumcise your newborn son? SOURCE : "Boys" by William E. Rochfort Remember that? I do. Is it necessary or more to do with mental well being our our son: likeness to daddy. It was something I read avidly read about because sometimes reading becomes “PEACE of MIND”. In this inst...

Testing ... reDEFINING

Postings on the Edge a twist of words as reference to Postcards from the Edge. Kindred spirits join the journey. But first, you need to begin with me firstly by watching "Bright Lights" with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds Take in the poignant moment when Carrie visits her dying father, Eddie Fisher, with more forgiveness than any one I've ever known. Compassionate creatures enveloped from the vessels of "Singing in the Rain" fame, Debbie Reynolds, and her daughter "Princess Leia" Carrie Fisher who wrote "Postcards from the Edge" starring Shirley McClain and young upstart Merle Streep. I watched this this afternoon after taking the HUNKster's suggestion of HBO's "Bright Lights" last night when we returned home after sharing a hearty dinner with great friends. Quality overpowers time every time Suggesting quality is not defined by length of time spent together, but in the value and peaceful-ness ...

A mom's brag book of her #A+mazing millennial children

None of my kids read any of my blogs so it is pretty near 100% guaranteed that it is true. However, my one daughter told me that at least one of her friends reads this blog Out of the 6 or 7 blogs that I curate and/or I write about varying topics that interest me or developed or furthering knowledge on something that grabs me. Having grown up conversations with a daughter is a new and wonderful experience. How far we've both grown from a nervous wreck of a mother, tasked with an ailing son who needed additional care and attention while she was a bright shining star, oozing with talent from every pore. A mother's gift is sometimes recognizing the gift in her children. Why else would Elvis Presley's mom have been the subject of his first recording? A miracle talent nurtured and encouraged by a mother's love. There are far too few examples shared in the world these days. SIDEBAR: (I haven't done one of these for quite so...
