Resolution

 I'm fixing to defriend a lot of people on Facebook because of their obnoxious, relentless political opinions. On both sides.

I am no friend of Trump. Not at all. Rarely if ever have said a good thing about him, because there is little good to say. Don't know what I'll do about voting. (Other than doing it in person). I have to vote for positions other than the president. (I never use the phrase "fixing to" either, except when angry.)

But this slander against Amy Coney Barrett by women is amazing. Disconcerting. Disgusting. As someone quipped, "Yeah, it's like the Handmaid's Tale if the handmaids had law degree sand were appointed to the highest court on the land."

Do they think they are helping the cause of women? Do they really think Roe will get overturned? Why are they so afraid of that? (Maybe because it's bad law?) Do they really just think we need more abortions in this country?

Are they embarrassed because of their own deficiencies? Jealous a little, maybe?

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

Annie Dillard on Writing Advice and Some Observations

-
  https://getpocket.com/explore/item/write-as-if-you-were-dying-read-annie-dillard-s-greatest-writing-advice?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us I frequently listen to a podcast called THE HABIT. Its host is Jonathan Rogers, who for the most part interviews writers with a Christian focus. He is a better interviewer than I, and he runs a community of writers. I recommend him. I do have to say that the podcast makes me feel very shallow as a writer.  One reason is that Jonathan Rogers has a signature question, Who are the writers that make you want to write? If I ever land on his program (a dream), I will need an answer to that one, and right now I don't have one. Sure, there are writers I like, lots of them, but reading them doesn't send me to my computer to get cracking. They are more likely to make me think, you've got no business doing this writing gig.  Actually, bad or mediocre writers motivate me more although I am not exactly proud of that. And the fact that what I want to
