Ponder Pages

Bullying is once again in the news again. But when you think about it bullying is the news. That's all news is about. The one with the bus monitor being made fun of by a bunch of middle school kids is the latest. And now she is getting allot of money because of it. And the kids are getting death threats. Does anything here really make any sense to you? I'm glad for the lady for getting the support she is getting. More power to her. The kids should have known better. As for the people who are sending death threats, really? How stupid can you be? Who's being the bully now? I know allot about being bullied. I was bullied my whole growing up years. I was bullied by family, kids in school, and a few teachers. The thing with kids started in first grade. There a number of reasons why I think and know it started. One was a bladder issue I had. Even once it was fixed in the third grade nothing changed. Feeling bad and left out was a way of life for me. I never really had any r...

I've been trying to think of something to ponder lately and for some reason nothing new is really coming to me. I could ponder some of the same old same old but, I'm getting tired of doing what so many others are doing.  I just want to see how many people out there are interested in anything I write. So I'm going to think about a few different topics and see if anyone wants to read about my pondering. Here is a list of things I could ponder: The latest news of whatever. Earthy news(Mother Nature doing what Mother Nature does). Silly stories. My chicken with bad timing at hatching out three baby chicks last week.( Fall is creeping up on us here. Highs in sixties) My basket full of letters written to my Grandfather starting in about 1919 to the early 1930's. Old pictures from about the same time which I'm not sure who any of these people are.  Random pictures of the world around me. Maybe I could write about books I've read. Or story ideas that keep ...

It's been almost a week since I wrote anything, sorry. I'm involved with the local community theater group. I'm in charge of the back stage. I could have if I had wanted to be on stage but at the time I wasn't in the mood to memorize lines. We are doing Doubt A Parable by John Patrick Shanley. Next week are the performances. It should be a good show. There really isn't allot to do back stage but enough. The fun part will be the a couple of quick changes that has to done with the priest. This is the first real serious play they have done since I started getting involved. Anyway, I'm on vacation this next week so I might have the chance to write something in the morning. Even though I'm on vacation I still get up early. That's what happens when for the last 20 years your up around 4am at least five days a week. Here's a question. When is it going to stop snowing around here? We were suppose to get maybe an inch or two Thursday night. It did start sn...
