In response to "Keep on trying."

I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!

In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

In response to "Blessings "

Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.

I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.

Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!

Have fun with these words: jawhole, navy, garlic, read, to, bottersweet, abuse, venture, apple and harmful.
(jawhole means cesspool; sewer entrance)
I’m presuming the word bottersweet is bittersweet?
Jawhole is a word I’ve never before come across. Although I once wrote a story which included the opening to a sewer.

The Vacation

. In the story the protagonist suffers abuse from the boy she loves.
Domestic abuse is on the radar these days in Australia and as far as I can gather it’s the same all over the world. The sad part of domestic violence is that little children are privy to those violent scenes. It’s so harmful to their well being and mental health. Instead of being tucked up in bed and being read to before going to sleep they’re listening to fights and bad language. I’d venture to suggest the little ones who are subject to scenes of violence are scarred for life. If the children are eventually taken away from their parents to a place of safety, it’s a bittersweet moment for all concerned. The children may be safe but they’d miss being away from their parents no matter how dysfunctional the may have been. Being separated from family can have a long term effect on children and it’s a fact that many such children join the military when they’re grown, whether it’s the army or the navy. Perhaps they are seeking the security they never had?
It’s winter here where I live and one’s thoughts go towards comfort food. I’ve been cooking up a storm. Besides making a spaghetti sauce with lots of garlic, we’re also having apple pie and custard to finish off the meal tonight.
