Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

I'm with you about English. As to AI, to deal with it, I slowed my typing speed a lot Still, it sneaks in and does its thing. So annoying!

Ai is notorious for changing text messages.

In response to "Just games"

I've stacked hay bales when I lived in Maine, it wasn't easy. I escape into word searches too!

In response to "Think about it."

Some years back Dune by Frant Herbert struck me as an allegory of some Catholic church doctrines. I was not impressed with that story either. Game of Thrones reminded me of Dune. Both books had their own story. Also seemed to have something else going on inside the story.

Tell me about the Bible being used as a weapon? I read it as a look into passed historical reality.

Muslims, Jews, Christians, women's rights, ageing populations, health issues, insurance prices, and others, all must be the targets.

Nice to know you read what I wrote. Write On.

I agree with Kåre เลียม Enga

sadly, the Bible is being used as a weapon.

I've never read Game of Thrones or watched the series. I did play Gaby's game here on WDC but didn't know any of the background.

I never got swept up with GoT. Lord of the Rings? Read it in a weekend (I think) many years ago.

Do books reflect or influence culture? Of course. The Bible is still used as a weapon of war by many Americans.

In response to "July Sales"

I love the craft fairs but not shopping in the bigger stores. When I was laid up after my back surgery I watched a few Christmas in July movies on Hallmark.

Clothing is definitely more expensive these days, sales matter.

In response to "Grandma is at home today."

My paternal uncle lived near my grandfather.

My maternal grandmother lived close to family in the hollow.

My father's family tended to live close, even moving together to Oklahoma and South Carolina.

My mother's family scattered.

I wish... but we both know about wishes without wings.

My experience in Thailand was mixed, but I don't doubt that families remain close as friends often do. In Costa Rica it can be multi-generations living in the same area.

And I'm spending a lot of time teaching my granddaughter sewing and crocheting, I love that.

Moving Toward Goals

Tonight, tell us about something you have never done, but really want to do? Why haven’t you done it?

Quote:The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies
in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled,
but it is a calamity not to dream. . . . It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars,
but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.

Benjamin Elijah www.livinglifefully.com/unfulfilleddreams.htm

I would like to take more human anatomy classes. I would like to finish the rooms inside my house. Maybe, I would like to do a master degree. I think I would like to do deeper studies in Biblical history.

Why have I not done these things? Various reasons. Lack of a good support system. Lack of monetary ability. We are still working on finishing parts of the house, it's just a slow, go as we can thing. I like the thought that online studies are getting easier. I'm not very brave as a commuter any more. I really like living where I am. I don't feel an adventurous need to move anywhere else. I will always have goals I think. I have lots and lots of various interests, sometimes I don't focus in on just one enough to make more progress on just one.

Sometimes now I'm just paddling in place.

Happy Trails
