We Americans are not known in the International community for our humility periour humility. Maybe we should do something about that 🤷‍♂️

I guess you could say as a kid I was somewhat mischievous-I consider a more along the lines of Mala Justice given my experiences early on. 😏

I notice a lot of women crave attention -from man. I noticed it in their actions. I also notice a lot of women aren’t willing to give their attention -to men. At least that’s my experience in the town I live in period

Are you concerned about me -if not why should I listen to you (your) issue(s) with me?

I’m ashamed to say this, but I notice alot of my fellow Californian’s are quite loud, and vocal.

Unlike some people, I like making amends! I stopped making them ‘kinda-sorta’ some years ago because:

•I was the only one making them

•It got to the point where people had no clue when I approached them to make one 🤔

The more you have, the more you have to lose.. If you don’t wanna worry about being ripped off then put your treasures elsewhere.

I heard someone saying a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous many years ago that the better they get the better the people around them get come to the better of the people around them start to look. I haven’t found that to be the case.

I get more out of this than what I put into it -I don’t do nearly as much in recovery to stay sober as I did to get drunk! Tru-shtory!!!!🤷‍♂️

Being a doormat in this program -is closer to the spirit of it than even mildly, or casually arrogant when speaking up to those who have harmed us. 🤷‍♂️

Things that I have done thousands of times that Jesus has never even done once – Things that I never should have done or things that I should have halted after 2 or 3 times. How can this happen? Justification! A twisted sense of it being right rather than wrong. Humanity is littered with it-and I’m no exception. Yelling at people! Stepping on a bunch of ants for crawling on my shoe! When they in fact are only doing what God-created them to do.

I notice I need eye candy frequently to adjust my state of being. I noticed that when I was younger I did it a lot by looking in the mirror at myself and getting something out of it that adjusted my state of being in a positive sense apparently. There are better ways of doing… period of acquiring that desired is desired effect.

It takes alot (of money) to stay #1 in the 🌎.

As we decline in this country in certain areas while striving to remain #1 by ascending, spearheading in others, that saying “We’re still the greatest country in the 🌎” year-after-year… is really starting to wear thin -still #1 compared to what? Who? 😏

You go into to a pawn shop or a jewelry store to sell something and they tell you it’s out of style, the quality is mediocre… You sell it for dirt and then you turn around a week later and go in to buy the same thing from a different sales person who doesn’t know you’re the one who sold it to them… And it’s a masterpiece of rare quality.

Pawn shops, jewelry stores can afford to pay dirt cheap prices because of the people that go in there all the time either “D”esperate or with no clue what they’re selling. And that’s what screws over legitimate customers going in to sell their goods.

A friend of mine says something is worth what people are willing people are willing to pay for it. Apparently that holds true for what people have no choice but to sell it for as well.

Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems to me that in many instances a man who goes into a liquor store and robs it with a gun and gets $250 to get about as much time as a man who goes into a computer and steals millions.

It was also brought to my attention that women whom the molest young boys get far more lenient sentences the men who molest young girls or Bois young girls or boys.

Do some classes in society have higher rates of crimes being solved in other classes experiencing similar victimizations?

I noticed in our little city that where certain people of influence live comcall they get their streets redone, repaved when they weren’t that bad to begin with calm while another area is of town where the streets are horrible they remain so.

Many people in this country are in absolute denial look denial about the fact the fact that the more one person takes away fix away the less there is for another.

If you are at a birthday party with 20 other people and one guy decides hes gonna take 7/8ths of the birthday cake and eat it for himself and an 1/8th is left for the remaining the remaining 20 people…. Same thing with our resource base on this planet -and it is “OUR” resource-based as far as I know! Same thing with the economic system and money in this country… And last time I checked we did not have an unlimited resource-base on this planet. But none of us has (free) access to resources on this planet. It’s all controlled (just like the land in this country -there’s tons of it everywhere and people who are born on North-American soil in some cases haven’t got a pot to pass in!

Distribution of fine metals around the globe:

•I believe there is a reason beyond the simple access and availability of fine metals on this planet for our own use – I believe they play a role in the balance, in numerous ways, of/on this planet.

•Have we developed some kind of an X-ray machine that can detect find metals all around the globe yet? They’re still gonna be tons of gold laying around on this planet somewhere calm, diamonds…

The more materialistic we become, the more our population increases, the more we ravage the materials on this planet -and the more (air) pollution and waste we will accumulate.*

*By the way, why aren’t we doing anything to restrict the carbon monoxide going into our atmosphere which is destroying the ozone and heating up this planet? Has it been decided that it’s too late to do anything about it? And a handful of elite people will go into some spaceship or go underground with some spaceship are going to ground while the rest of us develop various skin cancers and watch our planet die out on the surface?**

**And what of the wildlife and sea creatures which are being ravaged more and more more everyday – Man we’ll just continue to do so in the name of survival until everything’s gone and yeah so everything’s gone and then he dies last is at the plan?***

***The rain forests are being ravaged daily -Do you have any idea how much paper I throw away in myesterday in my mailbox every week? Most of which goes to the city dump as far as I know? All in the name of Commerce and profit? Credit card and loan companies continually harassing me -ads…

We had an opportunity in the seventies to install carburetors on cars that will consume far less gas and I’m assuming pump far less pollutants into the atmosphere. But the A-rabs wanted nothing to do with it -How long did we honestly believe we could get away with what we were doing? Did anyone ever bother to give that any real thought? You thought the planet was too big to harm? Well I don’t look so big now! As I’ve said many times before “The hardest truth for a man to believe is the one he doesn’t want to believe is true – While the easiest lie to believe is the one he wants to believe is true!

Women for example, fall for the charm of men of ill-repute all the time -because they want so badly for it to be true. Conmen out to convince people of an easy buck… spend this much and get this much back….. People want so badly to believe that it’s true, they fall for it. All based on self.

The idea that our way of life in this country has something to do with the problems and it never occurs to certain people. And in some instances people will vigorously deny there is. They want to protect our way of life -or theirs to be more frank.

As a friend of mine would say in meetings in Alcoholics Anonymous, “Damn people at home squeeze the toothpaste from the wrong end and put the toilet paper on backwards-and it’s-and I live alone!”

I’ve got hundreds of movie that I picked out myself – And I have to pick through 10 or 20 of them to find the one I wanna watch lol 🤷‍♂️

Another friend of mine and the program would say “Keep your thoughts higher than your thinking” 🤓

Did I ever tell you about the time I went to the group grocery store to get some food I’m food and saw my neighbor working over there in the produce department And thought I’d get him a Box of corn dogs. It was 4.99 for the 16 and 8.94 for the 30 🤔 looking back. There was no price on the shelf where the large Box was so I asked one of the clerks. In the back of my mind I was hoping to save a little money on the deal. They said it was 8.94. So I went up there grudgingly with my groceries and the Box of corn dogs… For some reason at the register they wouldn’t scan so the cashier gave them to me for 4-bucks. Once again, Thank You Lord 🙏

Another time I lost a piece of the attachment that attaches to the kitchen faucet I had bought a couple of years earlier @ Wally-world. The one where you can make the water come out sprinkling or in a steady stream… I couldn’t find the piece that screwed on to the end of the faucet. First I went to Walmart and they didn’t have them. So then I went to Lowe’s and they had one but it was too much money. I had a young guy helping me and I told him all I needed was the part that screws on to the end of the faucet thread – He opened up the box on the spot, pulled apart the whole thing – and gave me the part I needed. WOW! That’s not exactly how it went -the exact story was even better than that -but I just can’t remember all the details. 🤷‍♂️ But that was more or less the gist of it.
