Today's Guest Columnist: BECKS

By Bill Craig
A few days ago I wrote a blog entitled "Are we Being Sucked Into A Black Hole?", and although Becky wrote this in the comments section, sometimes someone says something so profound and meaningful that you just wanna share it and that's what I'm doing here, with her permission:

You may wish to re-read the Black Hole blog entry and then come back here

===============================================================================

First off, I think some of us have felt we have been sucked into some sort of a black hole and trying to climb out most of our lives.

How many times have we heard or been told that the end is coming over many generations?

Yes the world has and still is going to hell in a hand basket, most of it, out of our control, nuthin much we can do, except do our own tiny part in our own lives.

Higher power? I WANT to believe that, BUT, to what extreme do we have to be tested? Hasn't it been proven, in all ultimate ways, that we as humans have done a pretty f@&%d up job at caring for ourselves and the earth? We do need something to happen, and NOW. The suicide rate is higher than ever and still rising. There just isn't enough faith left for some persons to tolerate this life.

I would book my ticket and flight to anywhere but here right now.

Unconditional love. That's what we're supposed to have, right?

One really BAD thing, can be forgiven BUT maybe never forgotten. IF the forgiven PERSON, does not learn from that bad thing and isn't truly remorseful, and insults your love and forgiveness, and continues in their bad way, you have to call it quits, to preserve your dignity, self-respect and sanity.

In my own experience of loving and lost, shattered dreams, I love fast, hard and selfless. Once loving someone or something becomes part of my life, heart, mind and very soul, especially over a long period of time, it never goes away completely. It just sits there, like an empty space, A BLACK HOLE, needing to be replaced by true love, real, honest, unconditional love.

I wish that kind of love and persons for each of us.

Whoda thunk it, little ole me, profound and meaninful.

Thanks for the recognition, hope it helps someone else, sides me.

Hope the cognitive behavior therapy goes well without the use of whipping devices. But I suppose we can all use a good whipping once in awhile.

Hope you or none of your family or acquaintances have been flooded out. Sounds really bad there.

I thought California had the only slogan, when it rains it pours.

Hey that reminds me of a song, of course.

Thank you for your words Becks, some of them could have come out of my own mouth, although not so well-worded. I have often thought that there are three great healing forces in the universe: God, Love And time. Perhaps they are all the same thing.
Thanks to you and Bill for sharing this with us. *HUGS*

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t

My EOAD Support FORCE

==================================================================================== I am so very fortunate to have some wonderful friends making this journey with me, and here are just three of them: That's me with my grandson Julian at the Georgia Aquarium, next is my Grand Niece Madison born just this year, and the third picture is my Grand Nephew Matthew.I call them "The Nukes" (for "nuclear family"), and as I add entries to this blog, I invite you to send me a picture to add to my EOAD "FORCE". I just wrote an e-mail to a friend in which I told her that heretofore seemingly insignificant things have suddenly become very important to me, and these "things" are "people". Wonderful people such as my EOAD buddy "Tom T" whom I met through the message board of alz.org, and whose comments you have read on this blog. Also my friend from "Down Under" who calls himself "The Loaded Dog", but who's real

President Biden Plans To End Covid Emergency On May 11th

 Is that a sigh of relief that just washed over me from wherever you are? 😃 Great! I'm glad that makes you happy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but even though we're getting out of the pandemic status, people are still dying, and the virus continues to mutate. 🙄 I know - "Party-Pooper", right? Its latest variant is "Arcturus" and it causes pink eye.  So if you get itchy eyes, you should probably take a Covid test. It probably came from India, and it's here with us, now, in at least 10 states Here  are the latest Covid figures for the US, if anyone is interested. We live in Carroll County, Georgia and the latest figures per capita show less than 10 deaths from  January 1st, 2023 through last Monday, April 17th, 2023. That doesn't even cause a "blip" on the Covid 'Radar" here, but folks are still "trickling in" to get their vaccinations and Dondra and I have our boosters and are up-to-date. So what will you do
