Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Stayed for 10 years. Stupider. Stupider. Stupider.

Believing those who said no way I could be an astronaut - because I was a girl. Mid/late 1970's.

I probably would not have made it into space (motion sickness), but probably could have been involved in the space program somehow. Sigh.

Do not feel bad - Because...

Hubby was just the opposite. He thought he could be an astronaut. In high school, he exceled in the sciences, won a grant to a famous planetarium for studies, etc.

When he got to college, he realized it wasn't all glory to study to be an astronaut. Too much mathematics (enter, early 1970s, no computers to speak of), absolute geniuses he had to compete with, too much in the way of boring studies.

In other words, he had glorified it....

I fooled around and fell in love. - or so the song goes.

Ode to a toad

I don't know why you started with me,
or how you dared keep it going so long.
We stepped out of bounds willingly
knowing it was so very, very wrong.

No matter how deep or how real love gleaned,
it only worked as recess, a sidebar, a damn fool's dream.
Lost in the moment of you all I needed to be,
it was you changed the rules, asking her to set you free.

In to deep, no choice now but be true,
while fully aware not a wise thing to do.

Let the games begin choking, you had no clue.
What it felt like year two believing in you.
Testing her love and mine, you kept on.
While we stood true, steadfast, and strong.

Add humiliation, you had no clue.
What it felt like year three believing in you.
Walking the world in defense of your mess.
This reason, that, playing stupid and dense.

Isolation the finale, you had no clue.
What it felt like year four, believing in you.
My family and friends, all threats to your case,
for me simply easier to no longer face.

To myself, my heart, no choice but be true...
betrayed that and left, hating me more than you.

Words against action, clearly your heart in question
yet you forced one of us to make your decision.
Well played, dude. No remorse or regrets, your heart fully protected,
whatever happened was fate...and that you accepted.

One constant question always seems to be why.
Why we clung to your transparency, she and I.
We loved you so big, so hard, for so long,
We backed up that love, never to be gone.

Spirit broken, judgment impaired, self trust a deep crack,
I feel only in spurts now, but working on that.
Very few in my life loved me tried and true......
Someday you'll get this - not one of them was you.

Apparently, no ex is ever ex enough to sleep - with his brother - nm

Many business opportunities came my way and I was too stupid to see them. Another one comes to mind of letting some good friends get away.

Running in a field in the dark, fell in a hole - and broke my leg.

And that was just one thing.

Listened to my sister when she told me to lick the frost - off the pipes in our freezer

Panicked, ripped my tongue off and slept with a wet face cloth in my mouth for many nights.

Did not listen to mother when she - told me not to touch the dry ice-nm

Obama won he last election with 11 percentage points higher than Romney of the women's vote. Why, then, do we accept the fact that his administration paid the women on his payroll less than his male employees last year? The median 2012 salary for female employees of the White House was $62,000; for men that number was $71,000.

If I Were Trump, One Thing I Would DoSep 10, 2016
I would ask all my supporters to tell any pollster who calls that they support Hillary Clinton. One of two things would probably happen: 1. Pollsters fall for it and get the election wildly wrong. 2. Pollsters don't fall for it and can't make any predictions. Either way, it would be the end of the disgusting, crooked polling business that seems to be more trying to influence opinion than objectively reporting it, and we'd all be much better off without them. ...

Is This A Punishment Or A Healthy Thing?May 01, 2012
I have 3 grown kids in their 30s and one is 40. Two of them can't seem to remember my birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day.

There have been occasions where I get a card and once or twice a gift, but not usually. One child does routinely send a card but never a gift. They are all professionals and fairly well off. So there I am on all their birthdays and a ...
