Speedy Gonzalez is a Mexican hero
In this day and era of being ethnically sensitive and the cancel culture, many icons from the past have been discarded. One of them Speedy Gonzales is seen in his native Mexico as a hero rather than being offensive. The fast-running smart-mouthed mouse was created in the 1950s, and became a children’s favorite in Latin America. Speedy came from the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. His major traits are the ability to run extremely fast, speaking English with an exaggerated Mexican accent, and also speaking Spanish.Speedy's

Dead eyes see nothing
Growing up in the county I saw dead animals all the time. Dogs, cats, skunks, deer, mice, etc. and they all looked the same. Their eyes were open but without life in them. I also became used to dead bodies because I lived near the community church. I cared for my mother at home as she was dying and did not notice anything specific but with my husband, it was very different. When I observed that he was no longer breathing there was still a little bit of movement in his fingers.

Widowhood can be lonely
I joined several widow support groups on social media and have begun to notice a growing trend. I began seeing more posts about advice for moving on than I did about dealing with current feelings of grief. When I questioned the shift in focus in one group, I received a number of hateful responses so I deleted myself. I said I thought the group was for sharing feelings of grief and not about dating. A widower said he thought dating issues should be in a different group so he got it. Everyone else who responded said I was too extreme and they all wanted to know there was hope and they could be happy again.

Barney Fife was two-timing Thelma Lou
Hindsight truly is 20/20 when it comes to THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW and deputy Barney Fife. Some fans of the television series are just now picking up on things that others caught during the sitcom's original run from 1960-1968. In the very first season Sheriff, Andy Taylor's right-hand man exposes himself as a cheater. It was done subtly and no one called him out on it. He proudly proclaimed that Thelma Lou was his girl but there was another woman that Barney was stepping out with on the sly.
