It has been a while since someone tried to insult me by attacking my writing and longer since I took any of it seriously.
Strangers on the internet have no credibility with me and even if they were professional writers I can’t say I would or wouldn’t be upset by their criticism.
Those of you who have been around know I believe good writing is subjective and as such I am certain some people don’t appreciate my work just as I don’t appreciate that done by others.
You can even connect that to my refusal to be blamed for the actions of others. I didn’t make you steal anything, take your clothes off, lie or pay off porn stars.
I don’t let guilt do much to me probably because those few things I feel guilty about can wreck me if I let them, but that rarely happens.
Haven’t got time for it.
Someone said they thought Larry Allen dropped dead from a heart attack and for a brief moment I thought it is a good thing I am going to get checked out by the cardiologist.
And then I remembered Larry Allen was significantly bigger than I am and figured that size sometimes has a negative impact on a heart.
Besides I had my tiny black heart broken and removed so there is no real concern there.
Can You Fix A Broken Gate?
My daughter told me one of the gates in the backyard is broken. She is concerned I fix it or get it repaired ASAP so the dog doesn’t decide to go on an extended walkabout.
I told her I don’t think that at 14 he is particularly interested in doing that but I got a look from her that may one day cause a boyfriend or husband to freeze.
It made me smile and I told her I’d take a look at it. It appears one of the pickets has broken free of its screw overlords and that is the source of the issue.
I played around with whether I want to use matchsticks, a wooden dowel, wire or metal to kill the jailbreak but I didn’t take much action.
Laughed because I saw some of the materials I would use to repair when I went through Dad’s tool chest last week.
Since I haven’t yet moved those items here they don’t me any good. I may have what I need here as well but if not I am not worried.
I have easy access to all that I need and more.

Had to help someone out today with some Generac generators and snorted thinking back upon someone who tried to tell me that electric generators aren’t safe.
It was a ridiculous and ignorant comment but I didn’t bother to push back upon it because some things aren’t worth the time.
Reminded as well about how I shared a common response to those say Jews have no historic connection to Israel.
I took a picture of the Arch of Titus and shared a snippet of the history
The arch contains panels depicting the triumphal procession celebrated in AD 71 after the Roman victory culminating in the fall of Jerusalem.
I suppose some would argue that just as someone told me the convicted felon got screwed because his hired attorneys couldn’t convince a jury of 12 people he was innocent.
Same person repeated a bunch of gibberish some dunce on a corner shared with her about why the trial was unfair.
Made me shake my head trying to figure out what the hell was being said because it was an incoherent mashup of information that didn’t relate.
If they had said the coefficient of your shoe divided by the diameter of his head yields a variable that proves X is y I might have had more faith in the validity of their nonsense.
Ok, I wouldn’t have but I can assure you that what I just shared sounds more coherent than what they produced.
I Wrote Several Letters Today
I wrote several letters today expressing my frustration about a few things and a few people. I put out what I am bothered by, what I hope to accomplish and a few other thoughts in general.
Considered whether to send, post or delete.
Walked out and someone said “see you later” and I said maybe.
“Do you have plans to move out.”
That last line was said flippantly and I kept walking and replied “you’ll find out.”
Inside the car I took a moment to adjust the side view mirror and went over a mental list of things to do. Thought about writing it down but didn’t feel like being that organized.
Got midway into my workout and thought about what I had heard was going on at a prior place of employment and was relieved I am long gone.
If you work at it things fall in place and you end up where you are supposed to be or so the poets say.
