No whining allowed ...

 Who Me ? whine ?...

          I just finished deleting a post that I started last night and spent about an hour writing.  Last night I thought it was a gem. Filled with bits of humor, honest fears, a peek into my inner soul and an open look at my lost loves, bad decisions and unrealistic dreams I have for what little is left of my time here on this marble !

          Turns out upon rereading it this morning it was merely a collection of whiney little tidbits of things I can't control in my life and was feeling sorry for myself because of my inability to deal with them.   Without going into details it's due to some recent health issues.   I have been a bit bottled up which gives me time to do a lot of thinking. We all know that is never a good thing in my case.  However I have no desire to transfer my problems to the general public.  (obviously I didn't feel that way last night)  So I decided to lighten up the post a bit and possibly still get answers to a couple questions that are troubling me without actually 'whining'                   First off.  Dreams.   How long should one stay mad at a person that wrongs them in a dream?   I wake up gritting my teeth and choking my pillow often .  So mad I could .... well you know..  over something they said or did in a dream.  Usually it passes quickly but now and then it stays with me for a good while. My dreams are so realistic that it's hard to just dismiss their actions.  Perhaps one of my readers could suggest a good therapist.                                                                                    Health...   What a year.  Sticks up my nose, tubes up my rear, blood taken out, vaccines put in, x-rays to see what's inside,  thyroid scans, electrodes,  probes,  new meds and still exactly where I was at the beginning of the year.  Does anybody else want to just say 'STOP'  Your doing nothing but lightening my wallet !!!!!!!  (okay maybe that qualifies as whining)                                                                                                     Politics... (the forbidden subject)  Politics has taken one of the joys of my retirement from me and is threatening another.  I truly enjoyed Facebook.  It was one of my favorite pastimes communicating with friends, most of which I had never met, from all over the country and the world.  That's gone now.  So many have made it a platform for political views that it turns my stomach.  I still visit it daily and post some light humor and keep in touch with friends but It's hard to weed through all the hate and BS to find the few people that truly understand that it is supposed to be Social Media.. not a political rag.      Slowly but surely that concept is creeping into the You Tube world.  There were always political extremists on both sides but they were avoidable in their own little groups.  Lately a few people in the bushcraft community, knife community, prepping community have decided to save the world by sharing their political views  and solutions on the rest of us.  Not interested.  I don't care if you are Liberal, Conservative, independent or from outer space.  Bring up politics in your video and I'm gone.  I refuse to let you ruin my one safe haven.   Of course I will always have this forum. With zero followers I have little chance of offending anyone.  Plus so far I've been pretty safe on Instagram.  Note I said 'So Far'........
