"A RED ROSE FOR MY LATE POPPA VIC". Top Story - February 2025. Content Warning.
Today I 'reflected back' to September 1996. The story is written by me, a 75-year-old woman. However, the video reflects views of an older woman and as a young girl who was always their daddy’s little girl. February 14, 2025, is a day of reflection. My conclusion is now and always was, “My Poppa was my dearest and most caring Valentine a girl could wish for. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Letter To No One
I am sitting here today writing this as I have just come home from seeing all of you and realizing that all my past failures and mistakes are always going to be helg against me. I am never going to escape the foolishness of my past. Those mistakes I made back then are haunting me and I don't know if I will ever be able to escape them.

"EVIL HUMPTY DUMPTY FALLS". Content Warning.
This is a tall tale of evil and good and how evil clowns & charlatans tried to steal from the poor to supply the wealthy. There have been many stories written throughout the decades of time. I author this tale of an evil Humpty Dumpty and Joker in the year of our Lord 2025. Pull up a chair, grab a popcorn, and a cup of hot cocoa and we will sit by the fireplace telling tales of good vs evil in a world of chaos. The truth is in the video I created in Microsoft Video Editor Pro.

A Nation of Snakes
I wake to a country I barely know, Where kindness fades and hatred grows. Once built on dreams, now cracked and torn, A house divided, faith forsworn.

Between the Lines of Time
I was born beneath the hum of neon, under Reagan’s watchful eye, when boom boxes roared on street corners and dreams were sold in lullabies.

Symphony of Silence: A Boy's Journey in 900 Words
In a quiet village nestled between rolling hills and whispering pines, there lived a boy named Eli. When Eli was born, the village elders gathered at his cradle, their faces etched with unease. A peculiar enchantment had settled over him: he would speak only 900 words in his entire lifetime. Once those words were spent, his voice would vanish forever. The elders whispered of an ancient tale—a bard who’d angered a forest spirit, cursed to lose his voice after squandering his words on lies. But Eli’s parents, farmers with calloused hands and tender hearts, refused to call it a curse. “It’s a riddle,” his father said, “and riddles have answers.”

Oh, that cookie crunch, as well as that gooey caramel all covered in chocolate and when you take that first crunchy bite I swear I can feel my smile a mile wide.

Thou jolly fellow scorned by all The one that causes men to disregard their lives And forever chases away hope’s light.
