Merry Christmas to all of my New and Older Internet Friends, 2022
I have always had a journal. It has been my salvation:
"Christmas 10:45 p.m."
December 25th, 1993
Dear God,
Just a cover of satin white snow for a perfect effect on this, your special day. A bit of winter flu to remind me of my physical vulnerability. I missed all but your celebration. Happy Birthday...Thank you for your love, your generosity, your precious gifts to me. How could I be so blessed? The Christmas decorations evoke barely a bit of spirit from me. Daisy's stocking will hang over our tree as a reminder of what loyalty is. She will have our hearts forever.
Thank you again, for my peace and tranquility, my boys, my friends and yes, even my family.
Love Kitty

Now the Blog is working!
It took years but Blogger pulled through finding the paper bag I've had myself tangled in. It is my "Happy Place". Hopefully it is open to the public now!!
Honestly is there a safer place in the world to hang out to write? Since 2008 words and Google carried my thoughts until we both could figure out where Kitty Kelso was headed, (even then)?
To find this gem of a Google group stuck with this project for a very long time. Thanks to all of you guys and girls....we are here, again. Ready??
7:45 a.m. I am begging my own brain to not be shy. Commenting here or there across social media doesn't bring near the reality as this open window to my soul....but, hang on,
I saw a photo this morning that someone shared on Twitter. It was one of the most clear photos of Mars I have seen. The capture of the ground shot made me imagine it might be inhabitable in 1000 years or so. Elon is going to allow mud throwing and deception now on his new perch, Twitter, so we with a functioning brain, run. We are the people of truth in life, always. It worked much better for me ever since I could figure out the word, "no" didn't go far in my early family home.
So allow me to babble here and I organize my endeavors for this next decade.
p.s I am totally dyslexic, ADHD, etc. 😏

Life's Work....
I have been meaning to do this for years, but I was always working. I am going to list all the jobs/personal growth matters, and training that got me here today....just to name a few
1. 4, 5, 6, 7 yrs old Dance Lessons, nothing too fancy but my mom always clapped with other parents. (Validation of life officially begun? (Was it the tutu?).
2. 5 yrs-old I was chosen to be a flower girl in the St. Joseph's May Celebration. I felt pretty, I got a new turquoise dress. My mother and father sat at the card table with me for a second...they fought the entire time. I already had a very sick stomach because my dad didn't come home the night before. My May Celebration was ruined, I threw-up.
3. 10 yrs, I went door to door and sold color-made-to-order pot-holders, you know the ones. $0.5 cents each.
4. 12 y/o I was a brownie and a Girl Scout for several years...without which I would not know much about creating by sewing, experiments, hiking, camping for 2 wks - 2 summers.
5. My mother joined me up/into the Junior Women's Club.....I golfed. The first three holes were hot and terrible. I got a 78 by 3 holes. I walked off and back to the closed shack. I wandered on to 3 steps to the square cement fenced bandstand to wait for my mother. I was pretending something silly like an old dance I suppose, and here came a dirty man...up the three steps to me. There was nobody else around. I didn't like the looks of him, he had a long coat on and it was really hot outside; I knew even at 8 years old to duck under the ropes that lined the cement square and I ran behind the shack where I hid and waited... No more golf for me. Both parents continued to play golf. Within 6 years, my dad lost our home to a gambling debt. There was a room in the basement of the big nice golf course, a big room with a bar. It was called the Men's Room. Tables everywhere, they were gambling for sure. Kids could go only to the entrance of this noisy but scary room. Dad always said yes for soda for my brother and me. We just hung out for about 5-6 hrs (empty except for bartender and the appropriately 50 men, in the Men'sRoom). The course let us roll golf balls around on the practice putting green in the front of the main building. This was a Church to Sunday routine.
Dad got his first, second or was it more?idea for making money. He moved out, I was 11. However, he controlled all angles of my household for my life thereafter. He dropped by some nights. It was awful. He was awful. He left 3 more baby girls for my mother to not raise. So I became their best chance. I was 6 for the first sister, 9 for the next, 12 for the last sweet blessing and responsibility. My only brother was 1 year older than myself. He did not help. My mother always drank too much. She didn't say much ever. I was lonesome so I began working as soon as I was able. 12. I worked for him, dad, holidays, etc, invoices, envelopes, filing, phone..etc. He left me there often by myself...he played golf at the country club 3-5 days a week. I also learned how to lock up and clean my home, and dads small office.
(to be continued..often)

To sue or not to sue each other....politics GOP vs DEM
There sure is a lot of time and money beings scattered throughout the lawyers associated with the amazement to keep the slinging going...it's a paycheck. Sadly this is the way politics work. The people on the fringes of the belongers, lobbyists? work harder to make the deal and urge politicians to sign off, again and again. We have learned so much. Much we shouldn't have learned, it is sad.
I will pray they are not on the government paycheck....that's your money.
For heavens sake, do not bring that horrible family back for us to "admire". No, it's not going to happen no matter what side of government people what to hang onto, this is not acceptable.
People are angry. It's about half and half...shockingly ...but, both sides are angry...they will fight in the streets and they will die. That is the scenario I walk away with. If you take a citizen's right to vote far away from him, this will make him/her travel as far as it takes. One mailbox, the line might have ppl for paperwork...then what? A few beers and here they come....
Yes, Hamdan is cute.
