Suddenly I've drifted into a crazy zone. I have nothing but time on my hands, and I live around the clock, only sleeping when I'm sleepy, only eating when I'm hungry, suspended in limbo. My Samsung smart phone is my ever present companion and it's like there's a connection between my fingers and its keyboard and I have a compulsion to just write long dissertations or crazy vignettes, my words and thoughts feeding on each other like i'm overtaken by a rogue AI entity that compels me to write about things I didn't know I knew, - like my subconcious mind is on overdrive. Like now. Fortunately, I'm not immobile nor in dire health. But I do tire easily, and like to curl up on my recliner, where i still set aside time to do patternless crossword puzzles that seem to work themselves and play Bridge on line with computerized robots - who seem to becoming more human by the day... Family relationships are normal, but there's this other world that I drift in and out of and when I sleep I have vivid dreams about all those who have gone ahead. In a recent one it seemed like my husband had hooked up with an old girlfriend. Why do I find this funny??? Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining, not lonely nor depressed, just curious about this weird state I'm caught up in. I still sometimes sneak out at night and look up at the stars... Now i'm about to gear up for my daily walk up and down the driveway. Stay tuned, - or tune out if you have better things to do than read the ramblings of a crazy ol lady. Hoping some winning POWERBALLnumbers will pop into my head. Nothing like a billion dollars to calm your impulses.

Well, what's a little "strawman" lapse between friends?

IMO, you have reached the zenith of life. We should all be so fortunate to get there. Relative good health is a bonus in the zenith of life. There is no shortage of posts that we express how much we enjoy your input here. I certainly look forward to and get a kick out of your ramblings. Keep posting as long as time allows..

Yep. Charlie Kirk said “I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” Kirk lived and died by his very own words. POTUS OJ has d8mn near hailed him a MAGA hero. Flags lowered to half staff. White folks won't be any more outraged about this killing as they are when it comes to mass shootings and conflicts where they kill each other. Thankfully, the shooter wasn't a Black man. This country would be on the brink of a race war. Let's see how long this situation keeps the news cycle busy before they go back to ICE chasing immigrants and the national guard occupying urban cities.

I hope so, good buddy.

9/11will soon be here. Maybe tomorrow we should all pause and observe a moment of silence for the dead end reached by Ubrachist in his ongoing search to explain why the Twin Towers collapsed.

Isn't a UFO that was recently discovered headed toward Earth currently being tracked and monitored? The viewpoint that, as Civilzations go, Earth is neither technically nor mentally advanced enough for Aliens to find it worth their scrutiny, is sobering to me. Like, we are to them what ants are to us. 🫨

HAIR THEN HAIR NOW (What old ladies do when they have too much time on their hands.) ************* No National Guard troops have shown up in Chicago yet. Latest news reports a confrontation between 2 women in a black neighborhood ends with one shooting the other in the face, killing her. Three-year-old playing with gun, accidently shoots and kills himself. And Life goes on... Or does it??

I figured you weren't rocking the 'rows out in them streetz.

Btw, I don't wear the corn rows on public They are just a way of keeping my real hair out of the way of my "artificial coiffs".

Write your dream and hypnagogic or hypnopompic visions in a dream diary.... When you come back to then days weeks or months later.....you will be pleasantly surprise... To find many of then if not all.....very informative explanatory and predictive....jackpot lotto numbers

Gotta wonder whose money is behind organizing both protests and burglary rings. I remember when folks in Atlanta were being given bricks to smash windows during George Floyd protests. Most recently, the Israel-Gaza conflict protesters on college campuses were being funded by outsiders. It's similar to how illegal guns and drugs show up in certain cities. There's dark money behind both sides of every issue. The burglary rings could have been created to reinforce the narrative that the national guard help is needed. Funny thing is the national guard doesn't have any police powers. Their presence in Chi-town would only last until they leave.

I'll have to read back through posts where I've objectified women. Not my thing. IMO, referencing a woman's body odor doesn't objectify her. It's descriptive. Guilty as charged. Figured it was less crass than a few other names I could have used. Again, I cannot recall us having a dialog about how much we love to poke snatchbox. Cheerleader isn't my style. I do recall the offense you took to my suggestion that young men should use older woman as a playground and bring a tub of vaseline or K-Y. Otherwise, while there may be some semblance of locker room banter between us it is usually low brow. We're not objectifying women or being chauvinistic. Definitely not homophobic. Believe everyone has a right to live their best life as long as they're not bringing hurt, harm or danger tonothers. Like snatchbox, I probably started use of the term alphabet soup community around here too. Not as a homophobic slur though. @aka Contrarian, while I can appreciate your brand of feminism, just know that it's not going to derail my commentary or sense of humor as it relates to women.

The morning newcast I woke up to yesterday was ablast with the report that a new ICE headquarters has just opened up in the town where I live, which is a western suburb of Chicago. This facility is not near my block but its grounds have quickly filled up with a large loud group of protesters. Nobody saw this coming and the mayor, who is a black woman, has not been heard from. There are a lot of Latinos living around here so we shall see what ensues. And here I thought I was removed from all of this, then suddenly it's right in my back yard. Hope they don't snatch up the Mexican landscapers who keep our grass cut. My first name happens to be Spanish so I'm keeping my ID card handy. Hola!

That's funny. As a platinum member of the hetero community, while my appreciation of women is unmatched and my affinity for snatch box is undisputed, I have never detailed my escapades and adventures in tickling tulips on this forum or anywhere else.

...just waking up from a good nap. What have we here? Oh wow. Where to begin... Yes, Hollywood does love the men-portraying-women scenarios. Popular white American actors Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon set the pace and earned kudos and laughs dressing up as women opposite Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like it Hot". As did Oscar-winners Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams, when Dustin played "Tootsie", and Robin "Mrs. Doubtfire". Nobody could ever accuse the American film industry of not having a sense of humor or of not balancing drama with comedy. And I'm not surprised Pioneer would admire Arabs whose culture is the most misogynistic in the world, demanding their woman hide their faces when they appear in public, as well as walk several steps behind their husbands when they accompany them. Females aren't even allowed to drive cars in some of these Emirates. Moreover Pioneer's heroes are the very Arabs who have replaced Jews as the exploitive merchants in black neighborhoods. (Farrakhan be damned! ) Btw, Indian men have portrayed women in the Bollywood movies. And when it comes to the complaints about how black men are portrayed in films, the "art imitating life" mantra could apply... Then, the great "chain-yanker", grumbles about me not respecting him. Can I help it if the truth hurts? Not to worry, ProfD will step up and soothe his ego after which they will undoubtedly proceed to regale each other with lascivious stories about the 'hos they have laid. Whatever. All I gotta say is Jamie Foxx as "Wanda" and Martin Lawrence as "ShaNaNa" get nothin' but love from me. Flip Wilson's "Geradine" character does,too. Laughter is good medicine. Keeping things in perspective beats blowing them out of proportion. The Madea movies have been instrumental in Tyler Perry becoming a successful multi-millionaire film mogul. Plus - he gives back to the community! He definitely has his priorities together and for this, he has earned my respect! Rehashing and focusing on the same ol tired grievances has yet to make a difference. Drone on.

No other culture embraces and pushes it to the degree that America does. They would be killed in the public square. When POTUS Obama tried to encourage Kenyans to embrace the alphabet soup community, they told him to mind his own gotd8mn bizness.

Credentials be d8mned...anybody can be a journalist or a critic nowadays. Same goes for many other endeavors in today's clown world. Qualifications are becoming more loose. Just hang a shingle or start a blog or podcast or a YouTube channel (influencer) or post thoughts on the internet or social media. There's no shortage of *followers* being led by people and institutions with little or no credibility. Most polls and lists can be used as toilet paper.

The feminization of Black men and masculinization of Black women is another form of divide and conquer under the system of racism white supremacy.

@DelanoIt helps if you are good company for yourself. The ol saw about "idle time being the playground of the devil" should probably be heeded, however.
