All glasses may look much alike, but when you put them on, there can be a huge difference in what you see...

I just squeezed enough chocolate syrup out of a very nearly empty plastic container to add to just a little bit of almond milk, all the chilled almond milk that was left, to make a nice, small glass of chocolate milk. I would have rather had a large glass of chocolate milk, but a small glass was probably what The Doctor would order.

Work was interesting, tonight. The main reason that The Democrats who I telephoned to contribute to The State Democratic Party was that they were unemployed. Several said that they were supporting one or two of their children, without a job, and there was one lady who said that she was supporting four grand kids on her retirement check.

The first lady who I reached by phone said that she had just found out that her pharmacy was doubling what they had been charging her, making her take a double amount of pills, and that she didn't know how she was going to pay for it.

I spoke to a 96 year old woman who was hoping, "not to make it to 100, because 96 was bad enough." Thinking back on this conversation, I am not sure if I should feel sorry for this lady, or maybe myself, because she was most likely pulling my leg.

Are you one of our strong Democrats, I asked one man on my call list.

He initially replied,"Republican," but then changed it to, "A Conservative, actuallly."

One guy picked up his phone, said "We're ok," and hung up on me, before I could say a word.

The time to cook the water in the microwave to make my coffee Melitta style is 5 minutes, and 45 seconds. The time to cook my water is 2 minutes, and 45 seconds. I just cooked the tea water for the coffee amount of time. OUCH, my tea is HOT!!

I get less done as A Poet, and as A Father to these dogs, when I have a job, than I do when I do not have a job, but twice a month I am rewarded with a check that makes things sail a bit smoother around here. I am able to continue as a memoirist, on the job, jotting down interesting bits and piece from my days on the time clock.

If I had a tv, and Nancy Grace came on,
I would change the channel, or, maybe,
blow up the tv, which is what I have
effectively done by having the cable taken
out of this home.

I need more info. to respond to idiots. Well, I shouldn't call them idiots; but I should call them misguided, and it is I, maybe, who is going to be their guide to back to reality, or, perhaps, to reality for the first time.

Why would a guy working a minimum wage job brag to the world about being an intensely Conservative Republican? It doesn't make any sense. I can understand why the multi-millionaire business owner staunchly stands with the party of The Elephant; he wants to keep the guy at minimum wage at minimum wage while he works for his company. It is important to make more, and more money, and not look out for those working for you.

I've walked the dogs. Now, should I take a shower, or take a nap, or work on this article that I am working on. I need to buy some groceries, but I am short on cash, and will have to eat frozen bread type things out of the freezer for at least a day.

I went to The Pharmacy and took my blood pressure. It was 139/89. I took it again, right away, and it was 115/76. I took it right away, again, and it was 94/78. Which of the three was correct?

I have no lasting energy, today. I nap, I get up and do some things; I nap again. Oh, time to put a load of washed clothes in the drier. Maybe I am doing more than I think that I am.

The dogs are not, initially, thrilled about being thrown an ice cube. "What?" they seem to say. "Is this all I am getting?" After a minute, or two, each dog starts to lick, then bite his ice. Sometimes, you have to take a snack wherever you can get it.
