I TOOK A KNEE


It’s fun to be a kid again, fall off your bike and skin your knee, road rash. It’s another thing when you trip as an adult and get carpet burn. Now that’s another term we used when younger, but with a totally different meaning. 


My problem this time was not age. It was the result of not looking where I was going due to mega salivation. You see, we have recliners and I pushed the button for mine to go back to upright so I could get up and get another slice of pizza and refill my wine glass with Chianti.


Returning to my recliner, I did not notice that the footrest had not completely returned to the upright position, but was sticking out where I had reason to believe it wouldn’t be from past experience. WHAM!, my left foot caught it and down I went. Normally, you would use your hands involuntarily to break your fall. But what do I let go of to do that, the pizza or the wine? Sacrilege!


Those of you who know me well will understand that I did neither. My instincts had me hold on to both and my left knee suffered for it with a serious abrasion (see photo). I got up still clenching the wine glass and paper plate. Yes, the wine spilled onto the recliner and carpet. Yes, the pizza went flying off the plate onto the floor. 


This is where my involuntary muscles kicked in and dropped the now empty paper plate and lungedo for the slice of pizza on the floor before our dog got to it, and she is quick. As fate would have it, the slice landed on the floor cheese side up. So, how was your Friday night?

  Ever since Trump came down that gilded escalator, I have posted the following and similar. I will continue to post until my last breath or until a second person listens.  The sad part is that we were warned by patriots from Alexander Hamilton to Barry Goldwater, Billy Graham, Bob Robinson and Ghandi. I could even go back to the ancient Greeks.  “Now I understand What you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now” You keep watching the left while the right strips you of your rights, your freedom, your Republic. “FREETHOUGHT OF THE DAY (We Were Warned) The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout wisely. They are trying to force government leaders to follow their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of...

Caught Between Two Worlds

I was just an infant when I was taken from my homeland of Canada’s First Nations. “Now I live as a foreigner to my people. The pain that is often spoken of that comes with such separation and loss is only dwarfed by the pain of being taken from the life you were born into and forced to live an alternate reality that shouldn’t exist.  This is a perspective not brought up enough. However, it explains the common feeling of being caught between “two worlds” shared by many who are victims of this industry. The knowledge of the industry, its propaganda and the global child supply market along with my own first hand experience makes me a formidable threat to this trafficking scheme. It’s been my steadfast pursuit of the truth that has empowered me to raise my voice despite worldwide opposition. . . . From childhood innocence, to truth in adulthood, I have learned of horrifying atrocities committed in the name of “adoption” or rather the act of taking someone else’s child to own them. The ...
