Why?

I am trying to get back to writing daily but it’s not going well. I’ve been Covid-free for a couple of weeks now, but I’m having a hard time getting my routine back, such as it was. Some days, I want to write but can’t think of anything to say. This morning, the subject of “why” came up a few times. So, here goes:

Why can’t they make packaging easy to open? Some people have arthritis in their hands, like me. It’s not terribly bad – yet – but I still struggle to get things open. And then I lose my patience and want to chuck it out the window!

Why aren’t public restroom doors automatic? It defeats the purpose of hand washing if you have to touch the nasty dirty door handle. I always use the paper towel I dried my hands with to open the door, but then I’m stuck with the paper towel because the trash can is rarely close to the door. Ugh.

Speaking of paper towels… Why are the paper towel dispensers so far from the sink? I am disabled and I use 2 crutches. I cannot walk without them. I have to be extra cautious about wet floors because if one of my crutch tips hits a wet spot, then I’m down for the count. I don’t especially want to fall on my face. So if the dispenser isn’t close to the sink, people drip water across the floor, making a mess for me to fall in. Surely I am not the only one who worries about this.

Why do people give God credit for everything good that happens? If a person passes a difficult test, for example, they give God credit for it. Why? God didn’t do the work. He didn’t study for the test. Why does God get credit for the good things but doesn’t get the blame when someone is killed in an accident or when someone is the victim of murder?

Why do people get so worked up about stupid memes? I mean, I know that people have different perspectives; perspectives that are based on their own life experiences. But why get so worked up? If you don’t like something you see, then keep scrolling, delete it, unfollow it, or whatever works. Don’t comment, just move on because the person who posted it has a different perspective based on his or her own life experiences.

What are your thoughts? Let’s discuss…but in a friendly manner. Any rude or nasty comments will be deleted because…this is my blog, not yours.

What’s Eating Aunt Debbie?

Oh, so many things are eating at me these days. It seems the state of this country is in the toilet. Everything is such a mess! It’s exhausting and I know I’m not alone in feeling the way I do. Here’s a quick run-down of What’s Eating Aunt Debbie:

  1. You’d think the damn police would be on their best behavior these days and following procedure, to-the-letter, to protect themselves and their department from bad publicity and lawsuits. But no. More police shootings occur. More wrongful deaths happen. Unnecessary violent treatment on routine traffic stops. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! You don’t need to draw your gun on a routine traffic stop. You don’t need to shoot an unarmed person! There is no need for excessive force when you’ve already got the suspect on the ground and handcuffed! You do NOT need to shoot a man in the back!
  2. Joel Greenberg, Seminole County, FL tax collector faces a total of 33 federal charges…including sex trafficking, fraud, and bribery. What the hell is wrong with people these days? Give them an inch, they take a mile. LOCK HIM UP! What scumbag will have that position next?
  3. Matt Gaetz. Where to start? The investigation into Greenberg led the feds to Matt Gaetz, who faces charges of sex trafficking and sex with a minor. Gaetz reportedly asked then-President Trump for a blanket pardon. Who the hell does that? Requesting a blanket pardon tells me all I need to know about someone. Another scumbag in politics. LOCK HIM UP! 
  4. Many people, when asked why they have a problem with the LGBTQ Community, they will say, “that way of life is against my religion.” That’s ridiculous. Their lifestyle doesn’t have a damn thing to do with you. If GOD thinks it’s a problem then let GOD take care of it! Here’s a thought: If God created everyone, then he also created every single gay, lesbian, trans etc., person in the world. Maybe God created them the way they are. Maybe it’s all a part of God’s plan. Maybe God is trying to teach us all something! Pay attention!

Well, that sums up the bullshit that’s clouding my brain this this time around. I’m sure more will come next week! What’s eating you these days?

If you don’t like what I have to say that’s your prerogative. This is my blog and I’ll express my opinion as I please. Just remember, I know how to delete comments and ban people from my blog/page
