Hating just ain't nice

Undeniable Facts of Life :

*****VERY wise words: "Eat your food as your medicines.
Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your
food."

*****My dad’s best advice to me: ‘Son keep your words soft and sweet, you might have to eat them.’

Imma start with smiles.  There are comments that make me smile, laugh and think.  Last night I learned from Betty I have been pronouncing Prescott ALL WRONG, but I was very surprised at 'Case-grand'.  What I really learned is I am not alone in mispronouncing city names. I thought it was just a ‘Southern Thang’.  BUT.....

Sweet Chatty, I am a Luey-ville kind of guy.

And then Myra is debating Tallassee, AL, I ain't even trying. LOL

You guys that read and comment will never know how much I appreciate the comments.  I also appreciate folks like my dear wife who reads mine, yours and others but never comments.  I know many read and don't comment. I read several blogs myself and do not comment.  Bloggin is going the way of the T-model Ford, but I will probably be here when they close the door.

Life changes sounds like Rick’s book, and life does do some changing. I have strong feelings about some subjects. There are times I vent but at that same time I know differences in this world are what makes the mix so good. I disagree with some of my kinfolk. I have differed with my best friends but it NEVER caused a major problem because of a difference of opinions.

I cannot imagine being in someone’s ‘skin’ who  hates anyone who does not agree with them. I love life too much to take time to HATE stuff that in the end, has no consequence ON MY LIFE.

Being honest I have thought lately about death. We have lost friends, one I have known since 1954. One I have known only a couple years the other I met in the 70’s when she was the young bride of a friend. I have never been a learned person, but I am good with logic. I have passed a lot of tests in my life, just depending on logic. My logic says, ‘Without a catastrophic event (wreck, cancer, unexpected heart attack) I have 5 to 15 years left (I say unexpected heart attack, ‘cause I ain’t allowing me to have one!).  Hey that isn’t long. 

Talking to my beloved nephew Howard who had suffered a heart attack and was told he would not live long, he said, “Uncle Jack, heart attacks are over blown, they are not just for the rich, shucks even us poor folk can have them.’  Loved that dude, he died at 36.

In the ‘relative’ short time I have, I refuse to ‘gather me some stress’ by hating anyone. Hey, I just HATE hating. Can I do that? hahahaha
