Alcoholism is a scourge we also have in the family, you’re not alone by any means.

sorry
I didn't have that problem with a parent, thank God. My oldest son was an alcoholic who refused help or to seek help.

In response to "Identity Theft Leaves You Vulnerable "

Triggered my memory of having a Bank of Montreal account, ages ago.

I use a local bank where they know my face; but, identity theft goes far beyond that. One thing about WDC I like is that much of my writings are here which gives me a fighting chance to retrieve what I've written and a chance to prove that anything I've written is mine.

As for passwords... I can't remember them all. So, yeah, some are far too simple and others are written down. I use my WDC account daily. That helps.

It's okay Lyn's a Witchy Woman

. I actually like the song... and sometimes its good to get the blues out of you so that the sun can shine again.

Those two songs are my blues tunes.

After I listen to them it is often good to listen to something upbeat like Overcomer.

In response to "Say Something.... I Was Just Joking"

"I was just joking!" would be my pick too. I have some family members who deliver horrible insults then act like anyone who reacts without a hearty laugh has no sense of humor and / or is stupid. It's mean all around.

Big hugs on the song triggers.

Yes, number 8 is senseless. It only shows how flimsy and empty the ideas or the talk of the person who says it. Mostly, I shrug such cliches off.

The video is... triggering.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost... there but not there.

Yeah... #8 is cruel.

Life Long Learning

Blog City - Day 1760

Prompt: "We don't stop going to school when we graduate." Carol Burnett Do you agree with this quote?

Most definitely. I believe learning is a life long pursuit. I believe if we continue to look to the world and wonder, we keep our brains younger than if we stagnate. We are not meant to stagnate. The world does not stay the same so we must adapt and to do that we make the world our classroom. In some ways, it is only after we graduate that our real learning happens. School tries to give kids real life examples and lessons, but it is never the same as real world experience. And you get that and a whole bunch more.

The best learning happens when we make mistakes and learn from them. 'Life is not a dress rehearsal', I've heard it said and we must be ready to face the day to day.

Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Stretching beyond the expected is what makes life great. Messy, but great.

Keep learning. Keep stretching. Life on. Strong, creative and in your right mind.

I am a teacher. I am a huge fan of Carol Burnett. Good comedy requires intelligence - both to understand and to write it.
