Got to wondering why. Did I just miss the simpler times, when things made sense, or is my age progression getting worse? The obvious answer was perhaps a little of both. THAT brought me to the question of why. How did things digress to this level, and why didn't we see it coming? Just random thoughts, but when we were kids, we were dreamers. Before drugs to stifle our imaginations, we dreamed of becoming/doing great things when we grew up. In retrospect, I distinctly remember being told to stop daydreaming and concentrate on the blackboard. When I watched cars passing by instead of fixating on the teacher, I was told those cars would pass but I wouldn't. Yet, I did. In my senior year, I was taking Math Analysis, Advanced Physics, NJROTC as Ensign in charge of the Color Guard, and was on our school debate and wrestling teams. Had my own car, too, that I'd rebuilt and paid for myself. When we were growing up, there were plenty of apathetic and lethargic lemmings who were quick to point out we couldn't do what our dreams came up with. Since misery loves company, like crabs in a bucket, they'd try and keep us with them so they wouldn't have to admit who/what they were. When I joined the Navy, I became a Precision Approach Radar technician, repairing/calibrating a radar system that would lock onto aircraft two miles out and land the plane on the #2 wire while the pilot was reading a comic book. I was responsible for getting our radar Cat one certified for the first time in two years after I found a ding in the waveguide on the backside of the island from a previous crash after being aboard for three weeks. Yardbirds couldn't find it, I invented a way to track it down using a TDR and got a BennieSugs cash award from the Navy. I'm not saying this to brag, only relate a part of my story. You see, I didn't listen to the lemmings and naysayers. Perhaps it's time to stop drugging down innovators and people who could become the leaders of our society instead of forcing everybody to be the same. The former, to me, would qualify as the definition of insanity. That's the direction we seem to be heading. What's YOUR dream today? GO for it !

View MoreAdmin Jim posting for her. Well......it looks like the FB "things" have again determined that my alter ego (The Cairo Curmudgeoness) and myself are somehow or another a "bad" influence. As you may or may not be aware, a couple of months ago I was forced into providing additional authentication to be on FB. This all occured at the same time FB determined that The CCess needed to give me the new page experience. It took over a week that time. I have been having to login several times a day, basically everytime I switch between the 2 accounts. This involves entering my password and then exiting FB and going into the Authenticator app to generate a code which I then had to enter into FB (within 15 seconds). Well, today FB decided that it didn't like the code being provided by the Authenticator app. Tried about 20 times going out and generating a new code each time. When FB forced the new page experience on The CCess it began to cause problems for both my husband and son as they were both administrators. In fact my husband had to remove himself as an administrator due to the effect it was having on his other page, The Cairo Curmudgeon. Now, "they" expect me to go through the recovery process. The first 2 steps involve providing my email (no big deal) AND providing a copy of my official ID. The 1st time I was angry, this time I am livid and frustrated beyond words. Who knows what steps 3 - whatever will be. Will "they" require DNA at some point? How is it that I have to provide an "official ID" but the platform seems to express the belief that voter ID is discriminatory? The hypocrisy is so blatant and "in your face". I am going to be taking some time to determine if I am willing to provide "THEM" with my driver's license. I know many of you might think I am being silly. After all that information it out there. But as I have said repeatedly each of us must determine just how far we will be pushed To all of my family, friends and followers I do care about you deeply. I may or may not be back. I may just set up a new FB page personally. If you receive a friend request, check with my husband or son for validity. If you want to contact me, try email or call I don't think messenger will work!

He summed it up as "until I hear you repeating what I told you, you haven't HEARD me". Kinda like the auditory version of an optical illusion. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Until you see it, you can't. That's why most readers are more effective than others in making a point. They read the words visually, and say them mentally. Should you be so inclined as to write them down, they're almost impossible to forget. Beginning to catch my drift? Anybody, given ALL the facts, WILL arrive at the proper conclusion. That's why the media eliminates anything other than what they want you to think/say. That's called indoctrination, not education. People don't think for themselves anymore, only what they're told to think. Precisely why I tell everybody to research things for yourself. Get ALL the information, not just their "Cliff's notes" on a topic. Every one of us learns differently, and the challenge lies there. Communicating effectively. Since we're all different, taking the tack of approaching from every degree in a circle doesn't work when you consider we're more like marbles. We're not one or two dimensional, we're all three. In order to properly communicate our point is akin to a gunner, or a pilot. Azimuth, trajectory, elevation all come into play. You know when you've hit the mark, the look on their face is clearly evident. Until then, they haven't heard you even though they've listened. No, they're not ignorant or stupid, they're just different than you. That's the critical difference today. THEY want to force everybody to be the same, WE celebrate the differences that brought us to this party. I don't need to convince you, my job's to get you to see things as I do, and let you make up your own mind. Should you disagree, fine. Help me understand why. Without force or mandates. Now, the onus is on YOU. Until I can see it and understand it from YOUR perspective, I won't. All the games you want to play are ineffective against truth seekers. Celebrating and using our differences made us great. Socialization is destroying that. Just be you.

Matter of fact, might not watch the original for awhile, either. That bunch of hollyweird hypocrites had me wound up enough with the antics of alec, and now matthew. Y'all obviously don't know what's happening here and who/what you're supporting. "IT" was originally set for release 7/12/2019, but extended due to lockdowns and "scheduling conflicts". All of the streaming services then wanted to buy the rights, but Paramount refused, saying it was only meant for the big screen, and won't even stream on Paramount+ for at least 45 days after full opening. Due to the release almost three years later after all the trailer hype beforehand, they released it after their rights to the copyright on the original article had expired in Jan 2020. Now, there's a lawsuit over that. Doing research about this movie sickens the patriotic soul. Like the jacket patch fiasco that cost them the backing from China and Japan's company. Fascinating stuff. Disgusting. In our face. At a time when our country SHOULD have worked together, SOME greedy hypocrites only cared about money. While we were all concerned and could've used the distraction, they withheld many films like this and Mulan, waiting for more money. Yes, at the time, I'd have paid more for a DVD understanding they had to offset losses from the bigscreen release failure. They couldn't/don't give a rat's behind about this country, only the money. A movie about our military. I'm a REAL vet, not a wannabe or an actor. I would've felt the need for a distraction in our suffering nation and released DVD and streaming. People like Keanu Reeves would, too. Picture what Audie Murphy would've done. Make no mistake about the dirty history behind this. Including the suicide by one of the original screenwriters they dedicate it to. Not our military. Not the ones who brought them to the dance. You can disagree with me, I fought for your right to do that, not just act it out for big bucks. WHEN I find a copy of the DVD at a yard sale for $1.00, I might pick it up as long as not one penny goes to those worthless examples of our nation. They've ruined the original and this new one as well for me. On second thought, I'll just keep my dollar.
