Passions in my life

 wow. i think some people may live off their passions. maybe it is satisfying to them or something. maybe it is a way to live your life. hm i really don't know about all of that. maybe it will make someones life more fulfilling. I have a passion for writing and it just feels good. Like dancing when i was a young one back in the 80s. now that, all of that was fun. didn't write much when i was a teen. but when i was nine or ten i wrote a lot and i also read a lot. it was fun and i was quite comfortable doing all of it. now after living  years as a single mom i see alot more that i need to express. get it off my chest. all of this writing is really great cause to me it is like therapy and i think better. all of that. yes indeed.

This Standard American Diet

 The diet of America. SAD. Maybe things are changing for the better. I mean since food prices have gone up a bit I think people are not eating out as much. Like fast food. We used to go to get fast food a few times a month and we would order something from home. But now I watch where our dollars go and well it  is no longer Chinese . I write this because Chinese cuisine is really expensive. I have read that one would do better ordering a pizza rather than order Chinese. This is because pizza uses less oil than the other. Well that is what I read. Also pizza is much cheaper than Chinese takeout. But yes, I have noticed that fast food has really gone up. The last time we went to McDonalds the number one was almost ten dollars!! Shocking. Just thought to myself.."this is just too much" and what happened. And the dollar menu, well I was too shocked about the number one being ten dollars. So lately we have been shopping at the grocery store and watching the prices. There are some items that have gone up there also, what am I saying, mostly all of the prices of each item has gone up. But well, thank you God, some items are on sale and well one could work with this you know. So I just buy more of what is on sale and buy less that is not on sale that week. For us it all evens out and well it works. 

Thank you for reading. God bless.

sugar addiction

 Ok. That is me. Well sort of. I eat alot of sweets. It just gives me plenty of pleasure . It makes my mouth happy. I eat sweets everyday. When I am satisfied with my munching I tone it down a bit and go for something healthy afterwords. like if I made something homemade like blueberry cobbler. I made a blue berry cobbler about a month ago and I ate the whole thing in three days. I know, shame on me and my taste buds, shame shame shame.

How about you? Do you like sweets. Homemade sweets?

The Obesity Epidemic

 I had looked at the comments on an Amazon book about obesity. As a matter of fact I looked at a few comments and most of them were favorable about this one book. Most people that commented on it loved how the author wrote it. Most people were satisfied. But this one person only gave it a one star rating and I thought that was so wrong. They wanted to read more about other people, how other people dealt with their obesity.

In a way I know what it means to be obese. I have been carrying around an extra hundred pounds for over 20 years. I blame it on the medication I have been taking. It is hard because I needed medication and the stuff I am on, was on, makes you gain extra weight and for me I craved sweet breads. I just could not help it. I mean I live in this body. And that is what was so hard about it all. 

I just don't know what else to say about it all.

Impact Of Social Media On Society

 Now what can I say about social media? Well for me it hasn't been the easiest thing. I mean I have found people to act worse than being together socially. I found it hurtful and well that just spoiled everything for me and the people on the platforms. Family, friends, it all didn't matter. I found people to be negative and very hurtful. Like the devil was coming out of everyone and no one not really paying attention to how they were behaving towards others. For me I don't think I am missing much not being on Face Book or X or TikTok. Plus I am terrible with the layout of most of them. I don't do well with technology with most of the programs. No give me a phone. A plain ordinary phone and a good friend and we will have the best of times:)


The Rise Of AI

 Not too long ago I wrote about AI on this blog. I mentioned something like: the things that happen in our imaginations could possibly happen in the future. I talked about StarTrack or something like that. Come to think of it I remember an episode on the Twilight Zone where this machine, which was actually a AI man, had a lot of human qualities. The lady in the episode was actually falling in love with it or something. Come on now folks this was tv back in the day and the Twilight Zone always had interesting content to view. Hm I wonder if the Twilight Zone still comes on. I don't watch tv much anymore.
