The Israeli War, Climate Change, Ohio Politics, me….
I read in one of your blogs that it’s okay to blog for yourself, so I’ll take you up on that, especially since I’m the most frequent reader….
Maybe I’ll ask Shannon tonight to help me get a new blog layout. But I don’t know what to do with my pages. I didn’t understand at the get-go about pages, and I filled them with things that by-passed my blog. In other words, little if anything in them is also on my blog. Duh…I blew it. Also, some of my pages have been marked “Private” by someone apparently who thought they shouldn’t be read by others. Maybe I can undo that, with Shannon’s help tonight. I also didn’t realize folks would have to scroll down to the very bottom to read an addition. So, if anyone should stumble across one of my pages, beware.
That out of my way, I turn to this blog. My recent reading informs me that I’ve become astonishingly ignorant of the world out there. My psychological training was inward focussed, and so much has transpired “out there” that I’ve dropped irretrievably behind. Besides, the need for sleep is growing, robbing me of time otherwise spent. My daughter — let’s call her Elvira for privacy–has come to live with me and that gives me a little more time to spend. As mentioned before, I don’t spend my time volunteering out there in the world…(having quit driving gives me one excuse).
Recent attempts to understand world religions suggests that part of one major religion is dangerous, and that if I don’t want to be visited–maybe from another country– and killed for mentioning them I’d do well to skip that topic.
I’ve gotten way behind in my filing of articles, since no one will want them “later,” just as I had to discard hundreds of articles from my dissertation and my book Fallout.
This is disgusting! Here I am feeling sorry for me–even for my imaginary reader–for being ignorant! When I looked back through my filing and came across 9/11, I got to thinking again. Shut up, Nan! More later, if there is a later.

Glad you have your daughter with you Nan.

Please let me know before you throw out any more articles. There is a way to scan them so they can live in the computer. Love you! and I agree, sometimes seems better to keep your mouth closed about greater cultural events. Even though you and I wouldn’t intentionally disparage a group or hurt anyone’s feelings, there are times that no matter what you say, you are going to offend someone. Or so it seems.

I lost my first response, but it was something like this: Notice that I don’t call people names, but when it comes to the truth versus hurting someone’s feelings, I prefer the truth. Thanks for the comment.
It’s just that I don’t understand the current war situation so don’t understand the truth about it. Thanks for the comment!
