Cherishing Memories: A Reflection on Christmas Traditions


Good Morning World, it is now, 12/15/2025 and we are 10 days. from the Christmas Holiday. As people run to and fro, and get ready for the big day. There are somethings many forget about this Holiday we call Christmas. It is not about getting presents folks, it is not wheither you go to church. What is the importance of Christmas you ask then? Well, I will tell you what I think, and you can agree or disagree, but, as I always say when I write a blog, these are my opinions and thoughts and I have a right to write them.

When I was a kid, Christmas was all family in my younger days. We had Mom and Dad and siblings you see, and each Christmas Morning we would rush to see, what was ours under the Christmas Tree. We loved having a Christmas Tree, We loved being with family, and hearing the laughter and joy you see. But thats not all that Christmas means to me.

We were never rich, so we had one another, whether it was dad and mom or sister and brothers. We would always, have that person to talk to, to laugh with, to turn to for help. As time moved on the presents became less important to me. What counted was being with those who were my family. The traditions of candy and big meals, and mom and dad, rushing to the stores to get the deals. All good memories you see. It is what was important to them, not so much me.

We always got clothing and sometimes toys, then books we would get,you see. Reading became a part of me, as time went on you see. Books and stories of happiness and glories. Santa and even Reindeer you see, were all as we know, a fantasy. It is a tradition to let kids, think it is real, this Santa Claus, who gives presents, in truth it is your parents and friends, that you will love till your end.

So, during Holiday Season as they call it today,remember the basics is what I say. Remember to be Thankful for family and for friends, Remember it something to keep close each day til the end. For it is the moments of love, happiness and laughter, that makes the Holiday Season, all you are after. That lil joke dad may tell, that lil hug mom may give, that lil stare or laugh from siblings you see. It’s not about the presents or money, it’s about who is in your life you see. So, as Christmas approaches this 2025, Don’t go crazy with money, or try to out do, remember from me and for you, the best gift anyone can recieve, is you being you and me being me. Be yourself, and have fun, that’s the way life should be and Christmas should be done! Let the snow fall if it may, light the fireplaces to stay warm by, too. Put up a tree or decoration or two. Wear a smile on your face, and be friendly and nice, for Christmas Time is for the warm times and family and friends, that make each day, worth living my friends. So, from me to all of you, this 2025 Holiday Season, or Christmas whichever you call it, I prefer Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, others will say Happy Holidays. No matter what you call it, it should always be a Special Time of the year!

I have not celebrated Holidays at all since my wife passed from breast cancer in 2021. I spend them alone at home, watching tv, and make sure I have food and drink for me. I miss my wife and all we had, but the memories we created and lived thru make me smile and not sad. So, to all. I Wish All A Very Merry Holiday Season/ Christmas and New year ahead. May your Holidays be filled with laughter and cheer! May you spend it all with those, you hold dear!

Happy Holidays/ Merry Christmas !!!!!!

Finding Peace in Holiday Stillness


Holidays and Christmas is what many say a special time of the year. It is a time for caring and giving, laughter and living. It is a time to reflect and remember, to give and exchange. In many ways it makes us all change. For some it is pure happiness, it’s wondering and hoping for what we may get. For other sit’s the time you spend with family and friends, that makes it all worth while, year after year time and again.

For me it has never been the same, as when I wa syoung you see. For overtime and I age, certain things get to me. I do not like crowds or parties, Too many people bother me. I suffer from ADHD and PTSD too you see. Now I do not burden others with them or me, for thats not the way I am you see. So, I just go day by day and night by night, being me which just feels right.

Some think, he doesn’t attend, he doesn’t get involved. It’s his own fault, he is alone, and one his own. They are right, it’s what I choose. I choose it so, I shall not bring others down, I will never be a burden or a pain in the ass to those i am around. So, I avoid big time, and stay alone. I spend my time at home. For everyone, Holidays mean different things. I understand it and I am fine with it of course, but like Mr. Ed, I am a different kind, of horse. I feel safer and more relaxed alone, my ADHD does not kick in as much and my PTSD, stays under control. So, this is the way I choose to go.

So, let me say this to those who may know me, or of me. Do not feel sorry for me, or be concerned. I am fine an dbetter off this way, over years of it, I have learned. As a kid, I didn’t love the Holidays and I still do not today. Chaotic and crazy is what I call it. And I stopped doing Holidays of any kinds many years ago now. Even when my wife was alive, I stopped, for I could handle it no more, I would do it for her is all. Now she has been gone since 2021 and I have not celebrated Holidays since 2020. Instead, I stay alone with my memories of my mother and wife, both who were vital in my life. I would rather stay alone and live with the memories, then to be a burden, a pain, or a bother to any other. The peaceful silence of being alone, is good for my soul.

So, to all, I wish a Happy Holiday Season, A Very Merry Christmas of course! I hope when the New Year arrives, it bring all Good Luck and Happiness and Love too. 2026 is on it’s way, and I am getting older each day, as we all are you see. But, in the end, it’s each day, that counts more to me.

My Opinions of current American situation !


December 6th is upon us this 2025 is quickly rolling to an ending. As time ticks on, I wonder many times over, how bad the USA will become. We lost The Department of Educations, we’ve lost respect the world over, out economy is failling, and jobs are disappearing as left and right. IMmigration control is out of control, they are deporting people they have no business doing it to. I am not saying not to deport at all, I am saying do it right and legally. On top of all of the above, Medicare and Medicaid are under attack, Health Insurance rates are rising for all. Add in, when ya stop and look, and your food prices are rising and affordability is crazy. People are struggling to pay food prices, rents and bills they already have. And here we are in the Holiday Season again, and price sare higher than before, and people can get less for their money, becaus eof it and the value of the american dollar is shrinking. That all said whats next right?

I picked up my Iphone this am and looked at it, to check calls and etc. On my screen come supa picture of George COnway, and what he says about President Donald J. Trump. Yes, Trump is a pathilogical liar, yes, Trump is losing it , Yes Trump is a narciist. Everything is Trump thois and Trump that, name this after me he says, change the East Wing of The White House toa Ball Room, Rename The Kennedy Center to theTrump/ Kennedy Center really? What the hell is all this?

Attacking boats in the oceans off the coasts of countries, sinking em and double tapping a target to make all are dead? Look I hate drugs like anyone else, but the rules of law and war are not to be bent and ignored as Trump and Hegseth has done here. You don’t break the Rules of Law or the Rules of War, not right, that boat and thos epeople wer eno threat to America of fthe coast of thei rown country. Who makes the USA God? OUr crazy ass, sleepy headed President we have now? He falls asleep at Diplomatic Dinners, Parties and in his own Cabinet Meetings!. But, Joe Biden was the problem right? Bullshit! I tire also of people like Scott Jennings and others, bending themselves into pretzels to support and back all Trump does. I wonder if Scott Jennings and his fellow Maga and Trump supporters ever look in the mirror and wonder what the hell they are doing and why? It’s sad to see a man do that to himself and with a smug smile on his face on public tv. But, like i say with any blog of mine that contains, politics in it, these are my personal opinions and thoughts, written out by me alone. You can disagree, you can come back with comments, and clal me names if you wish, for in america we still have seperation of church and state and freedom of speech. So there ya go folks.

In the end as the Holiday Season now begins in earnest, please enjoy it and I hope you can afford foo dto eat and presents to give, this coming Christmas. If you can’t just turn on your Television and listen to all Trump is doing to take it all away from you. God Bless all, till next time!

Navigating Black Friday: Tips for Smart Shopping


Well, Friday has arrived, the day after Thanksgiving and as all now know, it is Black Friday. It’s the biggest Shopping day of each year, as Americans look for deals and sales on many items for the upcomming Christmas Holiday, which is next. Be careful, folks, don’t overspend, and hurt your budgets, or your family expenses. It’s easy to go out and look at the salesm, and go oh that cheaper, I can get someone that, and buy iy, and then later look and go, damn I overspent. Money is tight an dit is gonna get tighter as food prices rise, utilities rise and rents too. The Economy sucks folks and it is not gonna get better anytime soon, as long as we are under the Current Administration and President. Instead of taking care of America and Americans, our President wants to solved all the wars in the world and make himself famous for doing so. America first I say.

Next, the NFL Season is now heading into week 13, and looks like we shall have some surprises in the playoffs, as far as teams go. And some surprises as to those we thought would make it and might not. IT’s always interesting to see how it goes each year and many bet on the games, scores and players, me I just watch and save my money. The best part of the NFL an dthe Game sis usually the unpredicatbilty of them. Some ya know who will win, others well ya do get surprised. Who would have thought, going ito week 13, New England would be back in, KC woul dbe on the .500 mark and the Ravens too! Someone explain the Colts rise too please and Denvers too. In the end that is what makes the NFL so much fun to watch.

Ok, whats next, I do not know, for me. I go day by day as many know. I try to get up each day and be as positive as i can, and carryon with a smile on my face when I leave my home. I do my shopping in the same place, very seldom go to Malls or stores i don’t need, and watch as many shut down or move now a days. Next moving is Apple in the Salamon Pond Mall, they are leaving. Money is tight folks and it is gonna get tighter as business’s move to better locations, and try to attract customers. Apple is nop stranger to this mode so to say, they know their proces are high and they need to go to where the money may be. Copmanies like Verizon for instance, coul dbe in trouble also with their higher prices for Internent and Cell Phone Services. They keep raising their Prices, and people keep paying, butt heir services are diminishing in many ways. At some pint elderly Americans like myself will just leave their services and go cheaper somewhere. No Sense paying for what you do not use, and no sense paying extra for something that doesn’t work all the time, when you want it.

Health wise i have been through some ups and downs for sure lately. My Back is not getting any better for sure, Six Herniated discs never will. So I suffer from those. Then I have sciatica in one hip, Blood Pressure problems, sugar problems and more. I survive day to day is all. The Miriacle of it all is somehow I am still going, even after having cancer in 2013 and surviving it, and losing my wife to her cancer. It’s a roller coaster, of determination, emotions, grieving and , high and lows for sure.

I keep being told i should find someone to date or be with, just for companionship. While i like the advice and thought, I also worry and avoid doing so. I worry about losing what I have, money wise, and being used. I also, know at my age of 69, women don’t look to be dating me. I am not Mr. Handsome, nor Mr. Funny, I am not a social butterfly, I am just an average guy is all. So, I basically gave up on finding a female companion, because most want a man for their money, or for their physical abilities to fix their cars or homes, not just to have someone. There is always some demand or want that comes into play. And Yes it does go two ways ladies and I know it. The women do have the same worries and concerns in return. Plus in America today, most are on Dating Apps online, many do not date without them. It’s like a job interview when you go that way, no fun. been there, done that, and I gave up on it all.

So whats next, well, taking care of myself daily. Being comfortable in my own home and skin. Being me! Each dya is a new one folks and when you get out of bed, your eyes open and you can stand and walk and talk and eat, your ok to be on your feet. Make decisions that are good for you and you alone, unless your married of course. Make sure you keep up with your medications, Doctors and if you can exercise as you do. Treta others as you would like to be treated and try to be friendly and nice. I have always believed in that, if you do treat others like you like to be treated, you will be fine. Avoid, trouble, stay legal, and smile some. Makes life a little easier for you and all around you. And Welcome to the Holiday Season of 2025. I pray and hope all have a great Season of Happiness, Joy and Family and Friends. May the Holiday Season bring us all, some Joy in 2025!

Navigating Second Life: A Guide for Disabled Veterans


Lets discuss something different today. After many years, I returned to Second Life, the Online Virtual World, for fun and Adventure as a Disabled Veteran. My Wife passed in August of 2021, and I figured I needed a place to hang out and not get in trouble in Real Life, because I am not an Extrovert, I am an Introvert and usually quiet and shy. It’s easier to chat with others in such an enviroment and get along, usually.

I found it fun, interesting with all of it’s different builds by the people who populate it all. What I did not realize is how some are desperate and lost in it, and just roaming, or trying to control everyone and everything they can in it.

Look I love the sims of all kinds in Second Life for they are all parts of people’s imagination, and something to look at. Most people who build and start these Sims do so to entertain themselves at first, then they try to open them up to others and invite people in by, adding music and clubs and dancing. While this works for some so called clubs, and some have been in Second Life for decades now, others are started by disinfrancised or angry people who are mad at other clubs or people they have cyber-dated, that didn’t work out, So tensions arise and people move on. I understand all of that, of course and do not care if it happens to me. What I do care about is liars and the problems that some of these members cause and cry about continually.

You want to build a sim, be friendly, invite people treat them with respect and kindness. Listen to the people who visit your sim. If they don’t like your kind of music, change it some, if they don’t like certain people don’t force them to. If they give you help and advice, and they stop for a real life reason of any kind, listen to them. And whatever you do, don’t be a narrisistic person and think your always right and everyone else is wrong. Don’t kick people from your sims, unless you have a good reason folks, others notice this and you will lose in the end. If someone helped you out, and became a staff member on your sim, and suddenly has real life issues, and tells you to remove them from your staff list do so without predijuce or discrimination. Listen to them. Also, don’t because they did so, think and follow them all over Second Life, wondeirng why they are else-where and not in your sim. Look, I know some are trying to build their population for their sims in Second Life, if someone is ill, or has an injury of some sort and says, I can’t do this anymore there is a reason, and no sim owner, Manager or otherwise, has a right to follow your Avatar all over Second Life and question you about where you go in Second life, what you do in Second Life, or why your not at their sim. They can take away staff tags if you have them for their sim, all they want, but to question where you go, how long you are online in Second Life and ask you why your not on their sim is wrong.

I tried very hard to give help to someone building a sim. But when my Back Injuries came up and I stopped Djing, I was questioned left and right as to why. When I explained why it was not good enough it seems. So I told the sim owner to remove me from the active DJ list, because i was in pain from my back. Instead of doing that, I was placed on a different place in the staff list and held over. Then, the co-owner of the sim, decided I was to have my staff tags removed, Why, because he found me on SL roaming around, not DJing mind you, just in SL dancing and hanging out. He assumed I was, lying to him about my condition, told me he had back issues too, and that I lied to him, because i was signed into Second life. Let me say this to all, there are many disabled people in Second life who can not sit on their computers 24/7 while logged in, we get up, we move around to loosen our backs, to heat them on heating pads, to take meds, or we walk away from our keyboards and are not actaully there. You assume, things, I remind you, you make an ass out of you and me, and you don’t hurt me by removing the Staff Tags, you hurt your own club/sim and yourself in the end.

I started on Second Life Decades agao when my wife was alive. At first it was to chat, meet people and get away from real life. Yes, an escapism device or internet place. Then, I did some building and learning. Then, I did some Motorcycle Clubs and track riding. I also built a Casino for that Motorcycle Club. Then when the Sim owner passed away the CLub broke up and my wife became very ill and passed also. So I left Second Life and took care of real life problems and issues for years. I have seen, all kinds of Sims in Second Life, Sexual, non-sexual, BDSM, D/s and more. While they are all fun and playfull, I remind all, they are not reality. Also, I warn many I see, you have no idea who is behind an Avatar in Second Life and what they are really like. You don’t know if they are married, or single, you don’t know, how educated they may be, or how perverse they may be or how deadly they may be also. Second Life has no ability as an online Virtual World to filter out these individuals, so don’t take chances, don’t hook up with someone in Second Life and try to take it real life, without investigating. Don’t fall into someone’s web, just because they say they are Dominant, or Submissive, or have lots of money to blow on Lindens to let you build your own sim or world. Ultimately, these people who do this, abuse people, they use people and in the end they dump them like trash because they are upset with them. or they lie to them from the begining and you find out and wham it blows up. Second Life is a game folks, it’s for fun, adventure, building, music and chat. It is not real life and until you realize it, you end up running from sim to sim getting hurt or upset or mad. No reason for it. Just be you, have fun, but remember, it’s a damn virtual world, don’t get emotionally attached and wrecked in it. all you have to do is hit the X and close the program and come back later it will be there. There is always more fish in the ocean, always more people in Second lIfe, although it is slowly, losing it’s following due to just the things I am mentioning here. I like Second life, but it is not the Virtual World of it, that is the problem, like in Real Life it is the people in it, who think they know it all, that can ruin it for you. If that happens walk away is all, and let them be.

Constructive Criticism of UMASS Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Services


Recently, I have been going through some medical stuff. One is my back, whichI know full well, is associated to my bad herniated discs in my lower spine. The Second is a bout with controlling, my sugar levels from type 2 Diabeties and my Blood Pressure also. I depend normally, on The Veterans Clinic in Worcester, Mass. Which has done a terrific job of taking care of my medical needs.

The second I usually Depend on is Convienent MD, around the corner from me when things are not going right and they normally help me fine and things straighten out. I like it, and would use it more.

Finally, lets discuss, UMASS Memorial Hospital and their Emergency Room, Trauma Center. I went in on the basis of two things, because The Veteran’s Adminstraion told me to go there, for highh BLood Pressure and high sugar readings yesterday. I arrived early at 9 am there and complaine do my BP and Sugars being high and having pressure in my chest. They signed me in and then directed me to a EKG in the back, and took one then places me in a wheelchair outside the EKG area and left me there for hours, taking blood twice. Then they told me to go out to the waiting room, which I did. The Emergency Room Waiting area was full of people, sitting around in numerous conditions waiting to see Doctors.

People had been there ob=ver 30 hourts and counting waiting. Now, I uderstand it is a Trauma Center/ Emergency and they area busy place. Yet, the longest wait times ever exist here to see a real Doctor to even explain your test results. Sadly, people sit there, wanting to know the results of their testa nd if they are ok enough to go home, No one explains that the EKG is normal when it is or the blood tests are normal to you, they just make you wait to see a Doctor period. After numerous hour from 9 am to 12 pm, I sat waiting for the results and to see if i wa sok or not. I never did recieve the official results of see a actual Doctor. When you ask when you can see a Doctor or how soon or your numbe rin line, they look at you and tell you, We area Trauma center here and we have no place tp put people or rooms. We can’t tell you how soon you will be seen. Then, one of the nurses says to me, Sir if you don’t like our hospital you can go to another ypu don’t have to stay here. Thats just set me off honestly I had invested over 7 hours trying to get my test results and see an actual Doctor.

I stayed hoping even then just tpo see a Doctor an dmake sur emy EKG and Blood work was normal, so I was sure i was fine. By, Midnight, I had , had enough and basiclaly went up and had a nurse cut the wrist bands off an dtold her i was going home, I was done waiting. she was kind enough to cut my bands off, and tell me that if my EKG had sj=hown anything they would have whisked me in the back for immediate care. Then, before she would lalow me to leave, she took a peek at my blood test results. She said, and I quote, Sir I would never bother a Doctor with these results. That told me my blood work was fine. If i had been told that earlier i would have gone home, instead of waiting all that time. Their processes are screwed up in this Emergency Room due to the fact they are also a Trauma Center. The two in one combo does not work properly folks. And this is not the first time i have been through this experience with this Hospital’s Emergency Room. I know, if i have an Emergancy again, I shall not use them, it was a rude experience and uncomfortable and crazy to be there all that time an dnever see a Doctor. Others had been sittiing there over 30 hours waiting I found and one young lady had hurt her back at a gym she and told them she couldn’t sit yet they put her in the waiting room, in a hard wheelchair and she was crying on and off from pain. They ignored her repeatedly and just let her cry. I tried tpo help the ypoung woman, by getting them to provide her a pillow to sit on and they got one finally. But her pain persisted of course. I finallt told the young woman, you want them to help you have have two choices, one stand up and fall down on the floor and scream in pain and they will pick you up, they wil have no choice. Or make enough noice, crying till they come get you. It worked, they finally paid her attion and took her in. Sadly, that is what she had to do to get seen faster. This Hospital, is one messed up, mismanaged operation in my view.

If you are going to run a Trauma Center and Emergency Room you need to make changes to survive. 1) seperate the Trauma Center from the Emergency Room. 2) Hire more Doctors to man each,a nd more Nurses. 3) Be more picky on what Nurses and doctors you hire. The bedside manner of some of them is just crazy and ridiculous. 4) Expand the rooms you have in the Hospital for Admitting and for the care of patients. 5) You can not keep telling patients we have no rooms at the inn so to say and think you are going to maintain a Hospital and make money, you lose people we leave. 6) Then when patients who have waited long hours to see a Doctor, ask when they are going to be seen, you can not, sit there and tell them to go elsewhere is they do not like it. 7) And last but not finally, if you do not have rooms for patients due to overload, you ned to inform people immediately, so they can go elsewhere, not check them in, and make them wait forever. As a Hospital and a facility, that is supposed to help the people an dprovide for them, you must be responisible enough to say, we have no room here at the Inn so to say, much like Joseph and Mary were told, before Jesus’s birth. Be honest, put upa damn sign an d let people know you are overloaded, so they don’t wiat these long periods and get angry.

If as a Hopsital you can not afford to expan and seperate these two units, you will not last much longer. people will begin to go else where. People like myself wil lbegin to write blogs and reviews of your services and lack of services and problems. It’s not to be derogortory of your Hospital or your Emergency Room or Trauma Center, it’s a constructive critizism of it all that is intended here, with suggestion to help inprove it. The Emergency Room/ trauma Center is intirely mismanaged and not being operated correctly. If you have too many people coming in do something baout it, don’t let them suffer and wait.

The President of the Board, that Operates this Hospital is a Doctor Lynda Young, who chairs the board. She need to know these problems exist and she needs to know she has staff with lack of abilities and bedside manners too. Yet, as i wa stold she or the hospital as a whole wil ignore it all. You can’t be profitable or make money getting patients angry, or sending them else where after they come and check in. It will not work Doctor Young. so in the end likeme many will come yes, but like me also, many wil lwalk out, upset, angry and wanting to be seen by Doctors. They wil go elsewhere of course, and then in the end, it won’t make your opertaion, any better, it wil only decline not onlt in the services you provide by in the patient inflow. Wake up and fix this!

Political Turmoil in America: A Call for Accountability


Morning all, November is rolling right along, and soon enough Thanksgiving will be upon us. As we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday Iw ant to wish all a Great Turkey Day, and Hope all have enough for their families. Holidays are made for families and friends and I hope all have them, to make memories and share them with. As to me, I had 28 years with my wife, who passed in 2021, and we mad ethe best of every Holiday we could. Since her passing I send eahc Holiday alone ana on my own. No one can replac eher first off, and seocndly, I will never and hsall never be a burden, a pain in the ass, a bother, or a worry for anyone else. I would rather be alone than do that to family or friends. never have, and never shall. Enjoy is what I say.

Next subject Health, My back and internals seem to be failing me at the sametime. I have back issues from my Naval Injuries which include six herniated discs in my spine, three in the neck and three in the lower back. Add in sciatica in my left hip and chronic bowel problems from it and wham I am a mess. Pain gets me each night and during the dya too now. so, I use back belts, Ben Gay and other creams and try to watch how I move. Things happen in life and I shall never regret serving my Country, but, damn the price I pay.

Lets discuss the current political problems in America. many other countries are looking at America and going why is America allowing Trump to stay in office and allowing him to destroy us. Our economy sucks, our realtionships suck with othe rnations, tariffs are killing us and the world. On top of it all, other countries are going, why are Americans allowing a pedophile to run the country? Why isn’t he removed an djailed fortouching children? Why is he being protected?

I don’t have the reasons nor do I know how it can be done, only that he should go. He should be tried and convicted for these crimes against children, period. On top of it he is already a 34 tines convicted felon, a draft dodger who never served and he is killing militray benefits for Veterans, Help for the homeless and hungry and Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. he dismantled our Eductaion Department for what reason, who the hell knows. The situation is not getting better, OCngress know sit, The Senate knows it and so does the people of America. My main question is why was he elected, and secondly, whu is he being so protected by The Republican Party? and how long must this Fiasco, that is MAGA and Trump continue, before it destroys America totally? Please Explain folks? For I definitely know that hatered is growing the anger is growingm, the frustrations of Americans are growing, yet no one in Congress is moving to stop it all! Why? As people become homelss, food prices rise, peopl elose food stamps, medical benefits and insurance, laws are being broken left and right and even the courts are ignored, Americans allow trump to do as he pleases. when shall it stop and how soon?

I don’t believe Americans fully realize all that has happened so far. Once they do, I would suspect a portion will rise up and try to oust this man. It must be done correctly. Either Impeach him or use the 25th Admendment but make him go! Sadly, so many suffer while he live slike a KIng in The White House spending tax payers money on bullshit and parties!

My Opinions as of Today!


Hello November 16th, 2025. Time keeps ticking bye, and a sit does, I feel a little older each day. My body aches as my old Naval Injuries come back and my back goe sout of whack. I can feel the tingling down my left leg to my foot. I wak ein pain eahc day, with my left side aching and parts or me numb. yet I get out of bed and keep going to the best os my abilities. I take pills and relaxers and Allieve and wear back belt these days. More than likely as it keeps going, I will need mor ethan steroid shots in my spine. ithin if it gets much worse i may need back surgery, but I have avoided it so far.The pressure is constrant now on my lower back side and down my ass cheek and down to my knee. As it is now walking becomes difficult and I am uneasy at times and lose my balance. It seems to be getting worse these days. I will see my Primary Doctor soon enough and hopefully she can order some scans and see what she can do for me. I willl need more Lanicainc epatches and muscle relaxers at least, and maybe more shots or surgery. Time shall tell.

I live my my injuries daily and i can honestly say I domn’y show them or act like i am injuried, so peole don’t see it. Usually I will wear aback brace for day under loose shirts. It’s all a part of growing older.

Ok, next subject please. The Political climate in America is worse than I have ever sen it in my lifetime. I was born under Eisenhowser in 1956, I have seen many Presidents come and go. I have never seen so much corruption, so much ass kissing and perversion in my lifetime, like it is today.The Rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class pays out it’s ass. It’s sad! I hear about Healthcare left and right, If the damn Billionaires and Millionaires paid their fair share of taxes every year as the rest of us do, HealthCare would be free in America. Instead the greedy assholes, don’t care and the poor and middle class get killed finanacially and can barely survive.

Next, the economy sucks and i don’t care what President Trump says. the man has had tog o grocery shopping, or pay for gas or worry about any cost all his life. Its yucj as all rise and he says, oh it’s fine all the poles are lies, and the News is phoney. And he gets away with this shit. Sad.

I remind all who Voted Trump in you asked forthis. Bad Economy, High prices on food and clothing, fuel costs rising, and more. In the meatime, more and more is coming out concerning The epstein files and the child trafficing and abuses that happened. each releash gets worse for Trump he continues to deny what is so damn obvious to the reast of the world, he was deeply involved and knew what he was doing. he dnies, he dodges, he hides, he avoids and in the end he tries to kill the truth. the women who were the kids abused and used, now are beggining to speak out. A voye is coming up in Congress to release all the Epstein files and information soon. if the Information in those files match the just released Emails from Epstein’s family an dothers, than if I were Trump I would run, if true he should be removed from The Presidency, and all records removed and all his appointments too. Criminals who are convicted 35 times, should not be allowed to be President.

Now before I release this blog, I wantt o make perfectly clear, thes eare my opinions an dmy thoughts in the current American culture and time. If you don’t like it fine, just remember we all have freedom of speech and wheith it is my opinions on the current President, The Economy, The Epstein Case and File sor anyother damn thing, I havea right tos tate it. Period!!11 Don’t come back with the Trump code and MAGA shit at me either, because frankly I don’t give a damn. I believe what I wish to believe, period. MAGA shoul dbe banished and estroyed, Trump should face Justice for all crimes he has committted too. If he doesn’t and it looks like he won’t, whats it say about America and It’s Justice for all Moto?

You tell me folks, the last Question I have is this, If it is proven and, President Donald J. trump has sex with teenage girls who were children. don’t you believe he should face Jutice? I know i do!

Voices of Concern: Elections and America’s Future


Well November has arrived as we all know, The Temperatures are dropping here in Massachuetts. It is getting chilly once more. As we hea dinto the colder months I hope all, have a warm home and family.

Today is Election Day once again, and i hope all voted where they should, the choices of course are yours. Just try to remember you votes count and can change the direction of each state, and the country you are voting in. Be careful with who and what you vote for, for the effects can be long term as we are all learning today, in modern America.

That said, onward the world will go, with life and more. For the first time inm any decades Americans are struggling, looking for work, food, housing and trying to maintainand take care of their families. IT has become a time in my mind, we are bordering on economic failure and so close to a depression. People are out of work due the the loss os jobs, Federal Governement cutbacks and more. Their savings are diminishing and many are now homeless and in food lines and soup kitchens. It hasn’t been this bad, sinc ethe Great Depreesion days folks, so I think some should think about why it is so, and how it has come about. For those who voted for it and have gotten it, I think many are now sorry about it too. It is indeed a sad state of affairs, when an American President, only has a 36 percent popularity and is not even at the mid-terms yet. I see failure on the economic front, the healthcare fron’t, the social front at this point. Bad decisions left and right and the world is laughing at America for all it’s failures and disappointments, we are now suffereing. I will remind all, agree or disagree with what I am saying, as to disappointments, but in the end, you voted for it all. So, it is up to you to change it back.

I remind all, I write blogs like this as opinion pieces, and the opinions express are my own. we still have Freedom of Speech, Freedom or the Press and Freedom of Religion. I hope all who agree vote well and all who do not agree do too. But, in the end, the way this country goes will change many Americans futures folks, be carefull what it is please.

In the meantime life shall roll on for me as i age more and watch the world change. I pray and hope everyday, that we keep our COnstitution, We keep our Bill of Rights and lal the rights contained in it. I pray an dhope we stay a Republic and a democracy and we can hold our heads high, as one of the Greatest Nations ever an dmaintain our status and position in the world. God Bless America Folks, for I served her for 16 years and I am proud of it too.

One last note for today, Vice President Dick Cheney has passed today at 84 years old. No Matter what your political beliefs, or persuasion, He served us all HOnorably and with integerity an ddid the best her could. He deserved the flags at Half Mast, he deserves a Governement Funeral and burial and to be Honored as a man who did what was right. Anyone saying differently, needs to step back and remember, No one is forced to run for office and no one serves because theydon’t want to, they do it for the good of their country. Honor Vice President Cheney folks and say thank you!

November 2025: Changes, Elections, and Game Seven


Welcome to November 2025 folks. I hope all enjoyed Halloween last nigh and had fun.

As November rolls in, the weather gets chillier, the leafs are changing and time moves on. It seems like only yesterday, when I though a coming winter would be fun. Tjhe leafs are npow colorful and falling, and it is a time of changes. Yet we all still motivate and move, going here and there without much fear. it is great to be American and to be free, even if our politicians fights over what they want or don’t for you and me. As long as America remains free, with the rights we have, of Freedom of Speech, Laws and a Constitution that is intact. One party may win the hOuse and Senate and White House too, but my friends remember that is up to me and to you. We vote an dthe majority wins it seems, even if it hurts many people and their dreams. In a few days, Elections will start once more, for those of you voting, don’t vote on who is your favorite, vote on what is best for your future and families and mine. if you don’t, who knows where the current political climate will take us, it could be communist, it coul dbe authorian, it could be democratis or republican. It’s one thing to be a liberal or a conservative, in America, it’s anothe rto bring cummunism or authoritizism tpo America. I don’t think even under todays climates in the world, the American People would go for them. But, time shall tell won’t it folks.

Tomorrow the clock move once more, they fall back to an hour earlier. Time zones and these hour changes have been a thorn inmany people’s sides for years now. Some want to do away with it all and some don’t care. Personally, I think if we just left the clocks alone it wouldn’t makea damn difference. But, again, I am not a politicain or an average citizen lol, my opinions are my own. I just wish, it wans’t so, I don’t have a voice that loud, don’t you know.

I have been writing poems, short stories and blogs for many years now. I do so as a hobby, to be heard and to have fun. I am not doing it to anger people, hurt people or to change their minds, I just try to entertain a bit, inform a bit and discuss a bit. It’s just me.

last thing today, Tonight if Game Seven of the World Series of 2025. It has been interesting to watch and quite a fight between two great teams. I know for me, this seventh game this year, is gonna be a thing to watch,a nd to enjoy and it will have many watching. Seventh Games do that folks, it is amazing how a Series that has seven games can build to a ending all want to watch. The Tension, The stress, the joy an dthe pain will be shown once more and again. One team wil win and one will lose, but, it is a game they all did choose. Thats the good thing about Sports, we cheer on who we want to win and we atch in amazement and joy. Some have their highs, some get the lows, in the end it is the game to watch, that affects us so. So, to The Dodgers and The Blue Jays and Major League Baseball, thank you.
