That's where my isolation is mostly felt. I don't want to participate in mask-wearing as I sense a certain evil in the whole thing. My wife and I are pretty content just staying home, but interaction with others is lessening and much of that is due to the division of people on a number of issues. Satan is dividing people with distrust and disagreement.<br /><br />I've always been a loner, but now I can no longer be that in the world on my terms. Our home is my world now.<br /><br />But it's okay.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-30588018292945820302020-09-28T03:06:06.963-07:002020-09-28T03:06:06.963-07:00Lee,

Correction, now I have DH home wit me during the day which is a bonus. I love having him here. Now, I have someone to talk to! :) Hopefully things will continue to improve and these restrictions lifted. This is temporary. Try to interact with the blogging community to help with your feelings of isolation, my friend.

I just don't get that fueled up by what's trending though sometimes I catch up later when everyone else has cast the fad aside.<br /><br />I'm annoyed by what's going on, but I guess I just don't like things getting changed and rearranged and that's what's happening. I just go with the flow and wait for the flow of the Spirit to carry me away. I'm just trying to settle in with some popcorn to witness the crazy show that's going on around us and hope I don't get carried away by the maddening mob.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-5356105999662603192020-09-24T22:16:50.440-07:002020-09-24T22:16:50.440-07:00Guy, I'm a fan of metaphors, but don't kno...Guy, I'm a fan of metaphors, but don't know what neither a Lancia is nor a Delta.

I was j...Quite a blowout for The Carpenters, Lee. <br /><br />I was just telling my Brother the other night how I remember in high school (circa 1976) a person was considered hopelessly "un-cool" if they liked The Carpenter's music. Although I didn't necessarily broadcast it proudly, I ALWAYS loved The Carpenters music and never once pretended to dislike them in order to appear to fit in with the "In-Crowd".<br /><br />And I remember that a few years later, it also became "fashionable" to hate The Eagles' music. SMH!!<br /><br />I have never been one to follow the trends, and that includes Facebook. From all I've heard from friends in recent years, I'm so glad I never created a Facebook account for myself. I can barely even imagine all the arguments that would eat up my free time if I were posting my thoughts / observations at that website!<br /><br />The next time some very concerned person tells you that YOU need to wear a mask in order to protect OTHERS, remember [Link> <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJpS_jajub0" rel="nofollow">THIS VIDEO: Doctor Ted Noel, an anesthesiologist with 36 years experience wearing masks in operating rooms, explains why masks don't work</a></b>. <i>That's some anti-viral protective device, eh?</i><br /><br />As I said before, the whole "mask" demand is simply a way that the social engineers can *"keep the fear up"* until the poisonous vaccines are available -- and soon after that, attempted to be made mandatory in order for a person to function in society. <br /><br />Years ago, The Holy Spirit told me to reject ANY vaccine Uncle Scam attempts to foist on me! I'm not buying it! I won't even be accepting it for FREE! No vaccine for me! If anyone ever injects me with one, my physical body will *ALREADY* be dead before the needle pierces me, so it won't really matter at that point.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b>Stephen T.

One day, I received an email from the powers that be at Pandora, informing me, from that point on, Pandora was going to reinstate all of those tracks.

I’ve just learned to adapt and figure out how it works. I’m sure in time you’ll do the same an who knows you may find that you like somethings about it when you’re more familiar with how it works.<br /><br />I sure wish sleep masks worked because DH can’t stay asleep most nights and occasionally I have problems with it. As for face masks mandated because of the pandemic and Facebook, all I can say is FB has turned into a rude, know-it-all community that has to get their last dying words in to agree with you to prove their point which never changes anyone’s views on the topic. Most people do not know how to be civil anymore. I usually avoid anyone who comments do not line up with my way of thinking and trying to sway someone that they are wrong is like hitting your head against the wall. It hurts a lot. Facebook is plenty full of fake friends. Where I stand on face mask use is I use them but if you don’t that’s fine. Just like I’ve said before regardless if someone’s wearing a mass or not, if it’s normal times or pandemic if I feel someone isn’t well then I’m going to avoid them. That all being said, if you’re still curious to know how people feel about anything and you filter through the words with thick skin leaving the negativity behind then do it if it makes you happy. It’s your FB wall, just like this is your blog. Who am I to say, you should or shouldn’t feel or do this or that? Oh well…I’m rambling again. <br /><br />Thanks for the BotB results. I went with The Carpenters. :) Have a funtastic day, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-68929625517933331822020-09-22T09:45:36.038-07:002020-09-22T09:45:36.038-07:00I've all but given up on Facebook.

And as far as getting into any conversations about religion, politics, or whether or not to wear a mask, forget it.<br /><br />I'm glad Karen and Richard Carpenter won, but really I'd be just as happy if Leon or George won.
