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

In response to "Family Secrets "

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.

Eleven Uses for Drinking Straws

Yes, it has been awhile... but I did blog during the month of March. It was a poetry blog - one entry per day. A challenge I managed to accomplish, though I did have to do a few days at a time, then put them in as separate entries, but still... Here is it if you want to check it out:

In Pursuit of Poetry

Blogging about all things poetry - starting with 30 days and 30 poems

Blog City - Day 1599

Since Fivesixer

likes facts on Fridays, let's give him 11 uses for a drinking straw except drinking that's too dang easy.

1. blowing paint across white paper for a cool splattered effect.
2. a tourniquet - if you are in dire need, though it would be better to use reusable heavier plastic straws for this and maybe even bind a couple together - they come in big packs and who needs that many reusable straws anyway.
3. hair rollers
4. pea shooters - a grade 7 fall pastime.
5. a stir stick for your coffee.
6. a telescope to peek through.
7. chopsticks - again the more sturdy reusable ones for this would be helpful.
8. a pointer - use this instead of your finger when reading - a book or around the room (if you are in kindergarten).
9. art material - for gluing small pieces onto your wonderful design.
10. a breathing tube if you are underwater or need a traiatomy
11. a stick to poke dead things on the beach.

Okay so all of those were not from google. But from Google I found this...

and
http://www.instructables.com/id/11-unusual-uses-for-straws/
Who knew they could be so versatile.

Happy Weekend everyone!
