I am on the war path today. Have you heard "they" want to take the word mother out of the holiday and replace it with the birthing day? I spent 16 hours in labor with each of my children and they sure as hell will not be taking the word mother from me. I earned that title as did ALL the mothers in the world regardless of how they became a mother.
This 'correctness', and there are a lot of names available for this crazy correctness Woke movement has just gone too far. We need to get a grip and stop pandering to these people. I intend to use the words I have used for 83 years and if they don't like it they can ignore it. I have never wanted to take another stand on a subject, I have done that plenty of times in the past, but really...this is insane.
The flowers in all the shopping places are glorious this year regardless of the cold spells that have happened in the last two weeks. Hopefully, warmth will be around the corner and we won't lose any more plants. Ours are doing well and today should find all the big planters and window boxes full and flourishing.
We had a chair lift put in in anticipation of staying here as long as possible and it's broken, already. Luckily neither of us happened to be riding it at the time. There is money to be made if someone in that business would devise a way to fix and beautify this product. It is ugly, loud, unreliable, flimsy,...I could go on, but you get the idea. No thought was put into the design to make it appealing to see while spiraling up the stairs of the home. There are many people planning to stay in the home as long as possible and looking for ways to make this happen and a stairlift is one of them. Ours is being fixed and here's hoping it is fixed for good otherwise it may shoot one of us through the house and out the door. Problem solved.
Happy post MOTHER'S DAY. MOTHER, MOTHER, MOTHER.
