I was trying to think of what to write here all week. Then I remembered a book I have called "...And you think you've got it Bad by Barbara Fairchild Gramm. It's a book with a collection of turn-of-the Century Life and House-keeping things and ads. It's really very interesting on the beliefs and the things they were encouraged to do or follow back then compared to today. Here is an example: Care of Infant Many babies die before they are a week old because they are handled too much or not taken care of intelligently. The first bath coming too early kills many. Your very own elbow is the best test of the temperature of the bathwater. But before the child is twelve days old, cleansing of the skin can be done with olive oil or lard. For a stuffed up nose in an infant, a squirt or two of breast milk dripped into the nostrils will make darling baby sneeze, then sleep. I wonder how this idea really worked back then or how many people followed this advice. All I...
Was going to post something yesterday like I've been doing but I got up a little later then I usually do, just after six. Not I real big deal. Well then the husband for some reason got up too. So there went my quiet time when I write. So seeing I'm a lone right now I'm going to write something. The only problem what. I wrote a number of ideas down yesterday. So I'll make a few comments on the things I wrote down. Idea number 1) Idiocracy: If you have not seen this movie I recommend you see it. You don't have to watch the whole thing if you don't want just watch the beginning. The part where they show how the world is getting dumber. It's is happening right now. Idea number 2) Weather While places south and east of here are getting blown away, us up here in Wisconsin are getting more snow. I'm so over winter. Idea number 3) Air traffic controllers I have a solution that would work. Just have set shift people. Just like where I work. ...
I've been watching too much news lately. I usually get ticked off when ex president Dweeb is on or some of those other Maga morons. The last thing I just saw on Yahoo was a head line that said he said, "If he is not re-elected there will be a blood bath". How can anyone still stand behind someone like that? Someone answer me because I don't understand. All he does is promote hate. As for being a religious person, he can't even quote one thing from the bible. He says it's a personal thing. Most people who are followers of the bible can quote a lot of different things from the bible at the drop of a hat. He can't. He only wants to BE worshiped himself. Why do people think he is the second coming? He, in my book, is the anti-Christ. He promotes hate instead of trying to find a solution to problems in better ways. Does he understand that he can only serve for four years if he got elected again? Or does this dictator thing make it not so? And what makes him t...
