And on the Eighth Day, God said … [again]

Posted on June 15, 2020 by cordeliasmom2012

Yes, I’ve posted this before (more than once), but it’s still a favorite of mine – and many of my newer readers haven’t seen it. I re-post this today as a thank-you to everyone who gave me virtual hugs in response to my last post. I apologize for not responding to any of your comments. There was some upsetting family news, but it’s being handled, and I’m feeling much better now. Hugs back to all of you!

And On the Eighth Day, God Said …

LET THERE BE BLOGGERS!

And Men and Women – old, young, tall, short, fat, thin – of all races and creeds came from many varied and far-reaching lands and formed a World Within a World.

And God called them Bloggers and was pleased.

But sometimes the Bloggers were confused.

And sometimes they were sad.

And sometimes they made God frown.

But God’s forgiveness is always sweet.

And so, my children, please come forthwith to our World Within a World, which we call the Blogosphere, and henceforth may ye create.

***

May our blogging community always remain strong, and may we bloggers share our love and support across cities, states, nations, and continents, regardless of our race, religion, sexual preference, or political affiliation, and despite those who would make those aspects more important than they should be.

Struggling Along

Posted on June 12, 2020 by cordeliasmom2012

I’m in no mood for writing today (virtual hugs are welcomed).

Let me just share some photos from this past weekend:

State University of New York at Buffalo, Amherst Campus (SUNYAB)

Greek Columns at Baird Point, SUNYAB

Guard Geese

“Listen Up, Kids!”

Hidden Beauty

It’s beautiful weather here today. Some time outdoors may just do the trick.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Facebook Link Is Fixed

Posted on June 6, 2020 by cordeliasmom2012

I never knew how much I used Facebook, until my link stopped working and I couldn’t log on for several days. It’s all fixed now.

However, those of you who followed me on Facebook before that link failure may need to re-follow me in order to get the most recent posts. Considering the way my Followers number dropped when the link failed, there must be a bunch of you who follow me through Facebook.

Please click on the button on the right side of this page (about half-way down) to re-follow on Facebook. You’ll be glad you did.

Thanks, everyone!

PS: If anyone has any problems with that Facebook button, please let me know so I can take care of any issues.

FURLOUGHED: Week Twelve (Final Episode?)

Posted on June 5, 2020 by cordeliasmom2012

“OLD LIVES MATTER, TOO!” – I think someone should put that on a protest sign.

By now, the entire world has seen video of a 75-year-old white man (later identified as Martin Gugino) being pushed to the sidewalk by Buffalo, New York police. Mr. Gugino is shown lying unconscious on the ground with blood flowing from his ear while dozens of cops simply walk past him. One cop who does try to stop to help is ordered by his colleagues to move on.

Mr. Gugino’s “crime” apparently was that he didn’t immediately leave the area after a peaceful protest when the 8 pm city-wide curfew took effect. He is shown in the video approaching two police officers and gesticulating, and is then shoved, falls, and hits his head.

The rally had been organized to protest against police brutality. Ironic, right?

Thankfully, Mr. Gugino survived, regained consciousness, and was able to converse by phone with New York’s Governor Cuomo. I have no idea what was said in that conversation. The two policemen involved have been suspended pending internal investigation.

The ongoing violence on both sides makes me want to never leave my house. The continuing saga of the COVID-19 epidemic makes me want to never leave my house.

Unfortunately, I have no choice in the matter. If I want to pay my mortgage and other bills, I need to work – and I am returning to my office on Monday. Definitely not looking forward to it. Not looking forward to wearing that hot mask every time I go in and out of the building and every time I leave my private office within the building.

But we all have to do it.

With luck, maybe I won’t have to do it for the rest of my life. Government-subsidized housing which fits into a budget solely supported by Social Security is starting to look real good right about now. Perhaps it’s time to start checking out some of those places, as I hear they have a waiting list of 5 to 7 years. Heck, by then maybe my house will have finally been updated enough to sell at a profit. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Meanwhile, I have other issues to deal with. There’s work, there’s health, and …

For whatever reason, both my personal and Cordelia’s Mom Facebook accounts have been royally f*d up. I can’t log in to either and can’t find any way to contact tech support to resolve the problem. So, for those of who you follow me on Facebook, you might want to switch to Twitter. That account seems to be functioning just fine.

Happy Weekend, Everyone. Stay safe and healthy.
