Beneath the Wraps

          The other day I went to the hair salon to get my hair cut and colored.  I had  made an appointment for 8:00 but had forgotten I had made it for that time and did not show up until 9:00.  I think the stylist was mad – which she had reason to be.  I was upset with myself – and here I ’ ve been taking this Prevagen (which by the way does not seem to be working; at two dollars a pill, I would think my mind would have cleared that first day).          She said she ’ d color my hair and reset the appointment for my haircut.   But it was the cut I needed more than the coloring. I had purchased only one bottle of hair coloring and was willing to try it by myself – but with less hair.   She agreed to cut me and commented on the thickness and length of my hair.   She then read the directions of the hair dye I had purchased and proceeded to get it ready to add to my head.   I was...

  My first post this month and I still seem to be running on empty.  I was intrigued by my brother ’ s post (found here ) and often wish that I was as profound and gifted with words as he is.  I absolutely love his comparisons and thoughtfulness.  I recently gave a thought on light and had meant to include rainbows in my thought but had forgotten to.   It wouldn ’ t have been as good as how Steven had put it.   I suppose I could use real names now.   He isn ’ t Corey nor am I LaTiesha.   The photos I have used are pictures of how we look though our names were changed for various reasons (some of which I explain in the very first post on New Years Day 2012) The news has said that the mask mandate will lift come March 31.   I noticed many have already decided to enforce the lift as Roland and I had gone to Costco today and I saw more patrons without masks than with them.   All of the workers were wearing masks.   I didn ’ t notice...

              When the stay-at-home order was given in March, there was a great number of people who did stay home but there were many who had the attitude that “I still have freedom . . . nobody tells me what to do . . .” and have contributed to American stupidity ever since. I don’t like Walmart for many reasons but Roland just so happens to have a Walmart card and Roseburg has a Walmart and so we have been there numerous times – though I have not accompanied him as often as Jenna who wanted to go to Roseburg last and I wanted to stay home with Bonnie (the dog) but Roland had me go and Jenna stay. Because there was no iodized salt offered at Costco, Roland wanted to stop by Walmart first to get some.   The last time we had gone to Walmart there was a line of people waiting for consumers to exit the store and were allowed so many at a time (depending on the amount leaving) maintaining a social distancing.   Everybody required to wea...

I’ve been watching the Daily Social Distancing Show because Trevor Noah makes the news entertaining because the news by itself really isn’t.   After watching this segment, I am shaking my head.   Does the guy who filmed the Costco employee truly believe that the sun rises and sets just for him?   Does think he is immune to driving 100 mph on the wrong side of the road?  Does he think not taking  others into consideration is okay?   Because, heaven forbid, someone site him or jail him for reckless driving, does that mean he they have taken away his freedom?   No.   He is still free to make dumb choices.   But he can’t expect the consequences to work in his favor.     If I go somewhere in which a policy is enforced, I can choose to abide by what is expected of me or I can choose to avoid said place because I don’t wish to abide by their policy.   In this case Costco has required each of their customers to wear masks and dist...

                On Saturday I went with Roland and Jenna to the big city of Roseburg as Roland wanted to get some more soil and plants to add to our yard and garden.     Jenna at Home Depot             As we were near Costco, I mentioned to Roland that we ought to get gas.   We also need milk and so picked up some additional items as well.   We also had an opportunity to allow Jenna a thrilling moment that we of course would never have planned for.             As we were walking toward the Costco entrance, Roland noticed a ReMax balloon out in the parking lot.   It appeared as though it was lifting off the ground and then back again.   Corey and I had actually saved our money for a balloon ride and were majorly disappointed with the results. ...
