Hey, guys, don't take me too seriously when I clearly label my entry as "silliness." It amuses me when something utterly outrageous pops into my head. And I just have to share it.

Yeah, I call myself Pragmatist in this diary, and I am that. But a lot more, too. I had a lonely childhood and my books and drawings were my companions. It wasn't that I was neglected or didn't have friends. I was shy and a dreamer. But I grew up.

I need to apologize to my sister for slip of the fingers when I implied that Tucson storms from the Gulf of Mexico came from the southwest. And I had a map open right in front of my face when I typed that. Storms from the Gulf of California come from the southwest, but the Gulf of Mexico is definitely southEAST of Tucson. Sorry, Sis. My bad.

And Ironweed from Pennsylvania--thanks for your comment. I wanted to read you, but Search couldn't find you. I tried three times. Where are you?

Well, I don't know how big that ball bearing would have to be. I'm no engineer. But I can see that thing bopping down the slope, bouncing off of boulders, and smacking down pine trees. Have to be a pretty big ball, wouldn't it.

Well, as I said before, it would probably land in a gulch and go nowhere.

How do flowers know when it's time to peek up from the ground and bloom?

Shalom, and y'all have sweet dreams.

    LOL! I could never accuse you of silliness, Chaya!
    And creative questions like yours show that you have marks of genius!
    I tried to help but I couldn't find Ironweed either. *Frowns*
    Love,

    Thank you, dear Chaya. I am now looking up sites on 'Living With An Alcoholic Partner' and will take baby steps to get Jake to acknowledge that there is a problem and then we will work together to try to fix the problem. I'm not asking him to be a teetotaler, but I just want him to be a moderate drinker. And no hard liquor. Those are poison to him.
    Thanks for your empathy and understanding. You're a blessing to me.
    I love you.

    I should have known that you would not be thinking of a common, run of the mill, small ball bearing lol.
