You can Help Ukraine

-

 My last post "You Can't Help People" must not be misunderstood. It's about people in the U.S. who prefer their lifestyle and want you to fund it. Not at all about people in real need. 

I have, like many, so much anger and frustration and fear for and about what's going on in Ukraine. I'm not going to virtue signal. We can only pray and find a legit organization that can help them, although right now that seems impossible. 

Ukraine is a deeply Christian country and a deeply resource-rich country. The first matters more, but the second is why Putin is attacking, really, and the first will come under attack if the nihilist wins. 

And they are taking their own defense seriously, not waiting for help from a lethargic Europe. I can't accept that Europe was so useless in this drama. 

The words of the president Zelensky resonate: "I need ammunition, not a ride."

Kallman's Syndrome: The Secret Best Kept

-
I went to my cardiologist yesterday.   Every year I have to wear a Holter monitor for a day because of a heart ablation I had in 2007.   If you don’t know what a Holter monitor is, it’s a 24-hour mobile, wires-hanging-off-your-body EKG.   The nurse practitioner saw me, (not the doctor, which is ok because his voice puts me to sleep).   She was very sweet.   She asked me if I was still taking Estradiol and Progesterin.   “No,” I said. “I’ve totally gone off those.   I was on them for a very long time and I wanted to be sure to stop.” What I didn’t tell her is how long I actually had taken those hormones.   37 years.   I started with HRT when I was 17 because I have Kallman’s Syndrome.   You may never meet a person who has this condition.   It only affects 1 in 10,000 people (or 1 in 86,000, according to one source) so that’s quite a range and far more males have it than females (as do most negative things).   So, being female, I am quite an oddit

Do I Really Have to See the Barbie Movie?

-
 You know, I was going to write an essay about the Barbie movie .  I am pretty close to deciding that I don't need to spend $8 or more (plus gasoline), 3 hours, and some brain cells looking at pink (only pretty in its natural settings) silliness.  Therefore, I think I will also save the time writing this trying to explain why I probably won't see it unless it comes on YouTube and I'm too tired to do anything else.  Some are talking about it like it's the most profound art of the summer and an insightful exploration of sexual power dynamics. I have enough problems already. And I watched the other half of Barbenheimer already, Oppenheimer (it is brilliant except for the unnecessary and nauseating sex, which I guess was put in there to show what a womanizer he was).  I've already spent my 3 hours on movies for the summer.  Oh, and three on Sound of Freedom, but that was obligatory. And worth it; despite the controversies (ginned up by media that will attack anything
