BlueKota's JournalJust saw a post on FB Misunderstood Song Lyrics
It said, "enquiring minds want to know:" "Did we ever find out why the farmer's wife left him with 400 children, and a cop in the field?" Referring to the song Lucille by Kenny Rogers. The line is actually, "with four hungry children and a crop in the field."
I wonder what that farmer was growing? 🤣. Also while I don't remember the lead in of an old joke about this song, I do remember there was one with the punchline, "you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel."
Gotcha 🤣
I am feeling kind of proud of myself today. Belong to a FB Group that posts soup recipes. So someone asks why grocery prices are high. Some answer corporate greed. Then Magats start blaming President Biden's and V.P Harris' Green energy policies for driving up gas prices, and telling Democrats to go back and take a high-school economics course because we are ignorant about the economy.
So instead of posting an angry reply I told about how my college economics professor explained that Capitalism doesn't function properly without competition and the role of government should be as a referee to prevent larger corporations from lowering prices only long enough to drive smaller businesses into bankruptcy, then raise them very high, so it leaves people with no choice but to buy it from them, if they actually need something.
One of the Republican posters wrote back is that factual or just his conjecture? I replied if you understand economics then you must know economics is not an exact science and different economists have different theories. However, many point out that enforcement of anti-trust laws has been way down since the seventies and that it does affect the economy. You can believe as you wish. I then finished with I am just sharing what my Republican Economics Professor, who had his Doctorate in Economics told us. The Republican poster deleted his question. 🤣
How To Respond,
when you make a mistake or do something accidentally, yet someone acts like you did it on purpose? My late mom treated me that way all my life.
Now my older sister treats me the same way. I don't purposely screw up, why would I just so I could get sworn at and insulted? Like that's so much fun?
I am a completely uncoordinated person. So I drop things. I have trouble following physical instructions. So if I try to assemble something it's likely to get broken. Like just now I accidentally dropped scissors in the sump pump.
It's always just been assumed it's because I don't want to help, but I do try, and that's not the reason. People yelling at me makes it worse, and that's why now I don't always offer to help, because I know how it will end up. I think family, friends, teachers and coworkers etc all think that just because I was always book smart, meant I should know how to do automatically do other things too. But one of my high-school math teachers expIained I have an overly dominate right side of the brain. He proved it by finding a way to teach me math by using right brained skills.
It hurts my feelings that I keep getting blamed for something I can't fix and I have explained that, but nothing changes. My sister is pretty much all I have left, and I wouldn't be able to make it on my own, but it makes me feel hurt, stupid, and useless. Always has.
Seen on FB Account Ridin With Kamala
Paula Poundstone, comediann: "I support debates where when they lie they get an electric shock!" 🤣 Donny would be on the floor in seconds.
I haven't heard about her in a long time, I've missed her.
If Vance told me to go to hell
I'd reply, "I've already been there from 2016-2020, while Satan was president."
Is there a word you always spelled wrong as a kid?
Mine was people! I spelled it pepole. My sister thought it was hysterical at the time. She always asked if it was a pole for dogs to pee on. 😄
That will teach her!
So I decided to hide under the bed covers to see, if after he was done eating, my dog would come and find me. He came in the bedroom, but instead of coming over, and sniffing the covers, he grabbed my shoe, and ran into the living room with it.
Just saw a truly funny T shirt
in a catalog. It had the words, "How to Identify Birds on top. Then pictures of a variety of birds. Only instead of saying cardinal, chickadee, blue jay... It just had the word bird under all of them. Then the last picture is of a squirrel and underneath it says , "not a bird." I love snarky humor! 
Exhausted today
There was a red vixen fox in my yard screeching last night. Usually a "shut up, " or go away," works nicely. Some nights I have to use a referee whistle. It took awhile but finally she moved back to the hedge row which is a good distance from the house, but I could still hear her.
The dog started to bark. I had to close the window and turn on the fan. I think he could still hear her because he barked for about 10 more minutes. Not a night conducive to sleep.
I read they scream like that when they are in heat, or to call a pup that has wandered off. I assume mating season is well over, so it must be she lost a pup, and she gave birth later in the season, because they mature fairly rapidly don't they?
I love nature, but I could do without that freaky loud scream right as I am trying to go to sleep.
Happy 75th Birthday
to my longest running celebrity crush Rick Springfield. Yes he has always been good looking but he's more than that. A gifted musician, lyricist, composer, singer, Grammy Award winner, actor, and author. Some of his songs that weren't released as singles reveal a lot of his in depth views of the world around him, which match with a lot of mine.
And he's still rocking. Will always ❤️ the Rock Doc.
