I Have Been Told…

On May 1, 2020May 1, 2020 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have been told not to reply to Face Book streams I have been told my passion is bad...for me                            I have been told with love, and concern for my health I have been told to distance myself from the cesspool of politics I have been told not read the comments that denigrate our country, …

Perspective

On April 3, 2020 By liascottIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Where my neighbor sees unkempt weeds, I see a meadow that provides shelter and food for the many wild things that share our property. Where a friend sees a messy floor, I see happy dogs playing and chewing up bags and boxes that cost me nothing. Where someone else sees a dead tree, I see …

Driving While Female

On April 2, 2020 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

My driving odyssey begins, strangely enough, in my eighth year. Try, try , try, I could not read the blackboard in school. Next step, see an eye doctor and discover I was deeply near sighted.  The one moment I vividly remember is waiting for the bus, sporting my new glasses, and looking down at my …

Lean Left

On February 22, 2020 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

No, this is not a political rant, it is a statement on body mechanics, my body mechanics to be precise. It also touches on life issues, and, yes, some of what I have learned can, philosophically, be applied to the body politic. Decades ago I was informed by a physician that one leg was shorter …

What’s the Matter with Women, Today?

On February 11, 2020 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Remembering my fights with big brother 70+ years back I must have been a feminist before the term was invented. My feeling as a young girl held that I was, and should be, as important and respected as my big brother. Life slapped me in the face a bit over that belief as time went …

My Season of Lights

On December 25, 2019December 25, 2019 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have loved Christmas for 80 years. That love has changed of course. As a child the excitement comes from the magical tree and  lovely, wrapped packages to open. As an adult I found joy in two things, finding items that might bring a smile, a chuckle or a tear to the recipients eye, and …

The Truth About Bullies

On August 22, 2019 By liascottIn Uncategorized3 Comments

I have been targeted by bullies most of my life.  That may come as a surprise to those who have confided that they found me intimidating prior to getting to know me.  I credit these opposing ideas to the fact that I am typically the quiet person in a room.  For some, being quiet is …

ON Our Un-Civil War

On August 9, 2019August 9, 2019 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Comments on the social media have become so inflammatory one wonders what has happened to civilized discourse. Most disturbing are those on the far right threatening civil war, essentially stating they have armaments and would not hesitate to attack fellow citizens in order to rule the country their way. On the opposite plain are the …

The “Squad”

On August 5, 2019 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

The media creates "a star", the public embraces the concept, and here we go again. The news hawks realized after 2016 that there were many missteps in their coverage of our presidential election, not the least in giving Donald Trump a load of free advertising during the primaries while screaming about Secretary Clinton's e-mails from …

On Bernie and Joe

On June 8, 2019June 8, 2019 By ponygramIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I am an eighty year old female, which may give the "valiant warriors" among us  reason to pull up the witch word, or worse. Such is the depths to which our societal discourse  has fallen when it comes to politics. I am eighty and have voted from the day of my twenty first birthday...you read …

“One of life’s tragedies is that young people who have all their lives in front of them have no time; they are always in a terrible hurry, they want everything done yesterday.  Older people, because of their accumulated experience, have a lot of time, in spite of the fact that their time is running out fast.  A perfect contradiction.” — Franz Mairinger (1915-1978)
