Congratulations Sandie, you captured the essence of a man who karma had come back around to haunt him for the misdeeds that he had committed against them....As the sayings go "What goes around, comes back around" and "you reap what you sow"....Very well written observations....

Hi Regis:
This is not a new book, it's been published since 2006. I've just forgotten to advertise this book with this "Lifetime" ID. I had this book posted with my other ID Sandie May Joyce, but I've just discovered it is not posted with this one. I'm just posting this now. It was an oversight. My own fault. Hope everything is now in order with this "Lifetime" site. :o)
Thank you for your wonderful comment!!!! :o)

The Crying Princess (Book) - 12/1/2008 4:42:34 PM
I've read THE CRYING PRINCESS, from first to last, from "Once upon a time," to "...lived hapily ever after." Simply holding the book in my hands transports me back to childhood innocense. It took me back to childhood dreams of waking one morning to find out I was really born a princess. I look down from my bedroom loft to see below me-- my royal mother and father. And life changes for me forever, for I am now a princess. Thank you Ms Joyce for sending the royal carriage in the form of your book THE CRYING PRINCESS.
You will be drawn into the story and discover why the Princess Elysia crys crystal droplets and why Twilight the flying fish tells her "... We must be calm."
You will see for yourself the fantasy beings that live in the Princess's world by many illustrations. You will see a tiny purple dragon that lands in the middle of the princess's palm, a white-winged horse, Reddy the dragon and a fussy-girly creature that looks like a cat.
I read the book for my own pleasure. But, oh--to have a child sit on my lap, boy or girl, and read the story out loud. Transport yourself back to childhood, for in THE CRYING PRINCESS you will encounter challenges aplenty, interesting life forms and most of all a royal future to be planned! Thank you Ms Joyce for carring me back to childhood on the back of a red dragon!

Inside Miles' Hut (Short Story) - 9/16/2026 3:19:02 PM
Hello Ron:
They all do that in the AI videos or the Chinese drama videos. One person narrates the whole show, and it doesn't matter whether the person is male or female. People who watch the show would know who is talking. One narrator is acceptable in AI shows.
Miles has lived in the forest environment for many years, ever since his brother was killed in war. He has learned his tricks, like jumping from one tree to another. He has also set up traps for unwanted visitors who may trespass upon his turf. This is his "territory." He knows how to jump high and disappear into the secret hiding place that he has built for himself.
Thanks for watching and commenting on the video! More on the way...
~ Sandie :)
Inside Miles' Hut (Short Story) - 9/14/2026 7:43:11 PM
I don't recall the Kingdom of Largo. But it certainly is interesting how you've used AI to carry out the scene. Quite vividly, I might add. Especially when Miles starts moving through the trees like a man squirrel.
Unfortunately, the voice sounds very much like your voice and not those of the two men.
Ron
Inside Miles' Hut (Short Story) - 9/14/2026 10:52:00 AM
Recalling that segment of "Kingdom of Largo," your video is a fine representation of the scene.
Chinese Drama Ep. 8 - Tommy Tells A Secret (Short Story) - 9/5/2026 3:08:59 PM
Ron, my dear friend:
The video is clearly understandable even if the dogs were switched. It's the story that counts. There will be more episodes. This is an ongoing story. I make the episodes as short videos because FB Reels only allow each episode to be under 180 seconds. If I made the episode longer, the ending would be cut short by FB. Posting my video in the Story section on FB is even harder. They would cut my video short to make room for Ads.
I have also made an episode of the Forest Man, too, based on a part of the story of my ongoing "Kingdom of Largo", but that one was made in silent mode. That was before I discovered the voiceover thing.
Also, another episode of Emma and Theo joyriding on the outskirts of the palace in their twin-seater dog wagon. That was also in silent mode. Instead of my voiceover, I wrote text to explain what's happening in each scene.
It's fun to make these videos from my stories. Yes, I am experimenting a lot lately. It's never too late to learn something new. I am learning as long as I live, one day at a time. New things inspire me!
~ Sandie :)
P.S. Coming up episode: Watch what happens when Chairwoman Wang appoints her husband, Derek, as Director to replace Uncle Clarington.
Chinese Drama Ep. 8 - Tommy Tells A Secret (Short Story) - 9/3/2026 6:23:07 PM
It looks like you're experimenting. Instead of the boardroom characters, you now have two dogs. Perhaps Tommy was brought to the meeting and was eavesdropping? Anyway, you started out with it being Coco and Derek from the meeting, but then, she is only talking to Tommy…part of the confusion along with why you would switch the dogs except if you are just experimenting.
Grandma shooing the dogs off the couch was rather undramatic. Hot chocolate is a stimulant and probably would prevent someone from trying to sleep.

Thanks so much, Ron, for taking the time to watching and listening to the videos. I have been creating videos for the psst two months, but only found out the voiceover thing with these two videos, so you can say this was my first try on the voiceover.
Ahh!!! I have also made a video based on my poem, "A Modern Fairy Tale." I have post it in the Blogs section. I have also made an animated video based on my poem, "Piggies' Farm." Please go to my poem Piggies' Farm to watch that video.
Thank you so much!!!

Boardroom Chaos - Part 1 (Short Story) - 8/23/2026 9:41:26 AM
I encourage everyone to watch both videos. It's a great attempt at an author moving from writing a screenplay to creating a video from the screen play using AI tools.
I was a bit confused between a shareholders annual meeting and a quarterly board meeting. But your CEO is clearly in charge and the supposed loss turns out to be embezzlement by members of the board. Showing her ability to keep tabs with what was happening to the company between board meetings with all of her other obligations.
Ron
Boardroom Chaos - Part 2 (Short Story) - 8/22/2026 10:17:16 AM
I really confused how the bribery resulted in a loss by transferring small amounts. If criminal activity occurred, the culprits should be prosecuted, not just fired from my directors post.
The chair woman certainly seemed in charge of the situation.

Hi Ron:
I don't care about Trump now. He is a very sick person, both physically and mentally sick!!!
Then again, our Canadian PM, Carney, isn't much better either. It looks like both Canada and the U.S. have chosen the wrong leader.
We are having another election in August. So, hopefully, we will elect a better leader.
Thank you, my dear friend!

Cloned - A Repost (Short Story) - 7/22/2025 11:58:52 AM
It's good to see you posting again. It's a good story with a great twist. But it will be a long time before androids looking and acting exactly like us will be able to be created. While recent studies have looked into all kinds of strange phenomenon, there is no conclusive evidence that there are or have been extraterrestrial beings here on earth except in science fiction like you have written.
Crop circles have long been known to have been done by farmers as a joke or as a way to get attention. Farmers in Wisconsin are creating very intricate mazes in their cornfields and making a lot more money from people coming to run the maze than they ever would make from harvesting the corn.
Trump is now admitting that many of the conspiracy theories that he promoted were merely ways for him to gain political and monetary advantage from so many followers like you who began to believe that everything that he posted was true.
Recently, Trump told everyone that he was going to increase tariffs greatly on other countries. The stock market fell dramatically from people who believed him. Since then, he has been moving towards a more moderate approach with negotiation. Just part of his deal, where lies work in his favor because people believe them to be true.

Elon Musk's Reels (Short Story) - 9/5/2024 9:40:46 AM
That's a wonderful story about how you had to make yourself valid. Not only in college where you excelled, but when you had children and were able to give them the time that many working mothers don't have.
But I must say you were a champion at getting them hooked on junk food!
My twin brother and our sister who came along 5 years later were lucky to have a stay at home mom who made us homemade baked, canned and fresh food to our great contentment. It was only when we traveled by car that Roger and I always insisted on having a hamburger and fries with a malt when we stopped at restaurants.
Mom made us the best donuts and donut holes that you could dunk and plunk in your mouth in homemade coffee with condensed milk in it. Later, I recall her buying fresh hamburger on Friday evenings when she was working. Fry up a lot of the hamburger until it was crispy good and make homemade crinkle cut French fries for us to enjoy. The best thing my parents ever did for me was encourage me to try new things and to go to college in whatever field I wanted.

Stephen King's New Books Continue To Suck (Article) - 11/22/2024 10:48:57 AM

Stephen King's New Books Continue To Suck (Article) - 5/30/2024 1:23:58 PM
I read years ago in (I believe it was Writer's Digest Magazine) that Stephen King hires ghoast writers (who were fans of his, thus able to mimic his style) to write his later books. All he had to do was review and tweak the manuscripts. King had a good thing going for years, not that I'm a fan of his, but gees! Number after number! Who gets published like that these days?
Stephen King's New Books Continue To Suck (Article) - 5/29/2024 7:10:48 PM
Thank you, Jane and Miss Poetess!!!
Stephen King used to think a lot in his old style. He thinks, and he would write his thoughts at the same time. Through his thoughts, he would tell his readers what is happening in the story. His readers would be able to connect with him through his thoughts. When it was time to have a new character in the story, he would introduce his new character in detail. Sometimes, his new character would open up another story when he tells us about the new character's life. There would be more stories for us to read.
I cannot feel the same mental connection in his new books. That special bond between an author and his reader isn't there. I'm very disappointed if he allows his son, Owen, to write under his name because what I'm reading from this first story seems to be the style of Owens, NOT his.
Sandie
Stephen King's New Books Continue To Suck (Article) - 5/29/2024 2:10:10 PM

Damn Those Electric Cars!!! (Article) - 6/29/2023 6:03:10 AM
Dear Ron:
I like to see warplanes and tanks become electrical vehicles, and when the computer system goes down the warplanes drop to the ground.
I like to see trans gender people become trans robot, and when the chip inside their brains takes over the activities and thiughts process, the brain becomes useless from non-usage, then the people will become fully-robotic.
This will happen, but most probably, you and I will not be here to see the robotic generation.
Sandie
Damn Those Electric Cars!!! (Article) - 6/28/2023 8:55:32 AM
You are welcome to your opinion of the matter, but most people, in their daily drives/commutes do not drive over 50 miles. Their cars can charge overnight like their phones and other electric devices everyone is so dependent upon these days.
Unfortunately, the family farm has always been a very risky business. There are many expenses and a crop can be wiped out by a windstorm, a flood, fire, or worse, drought. Even crops like trees, now being burned as some kind of illogical idea of lowering the carbon content of the air--go figure--are now burning across Canada in wildfires, anyway, because of drought.
All across North America, family farmers in the red have been forced to sell their farms or convert to other purposes like a battery farm. Years ago, my uncle and cousin planted their dairy farm in cedar and oak trees. My cousin has since cut down and sold the lumber from the cedar trees and cleared much of the land for his remote control model plane, car and boat park with a campground. His wife has an assisted living facility where they take care of adults with down syndrome.
Most of the food we eat comes from factory farms and is greatly adulterated with growth hormones, pesticides, herbicides, toxic fertilizers, weed killers and the like. Bon appetit!
We got rid of tetraethyl lead in gasoline 50 years ago when we learned lead in the atmosphere was harming our children's brains. Now, CO2 from burning gasoline and natural gas is ruining our climate with carbon in the air. Wouldn't it be wise to put up with the inconvenience of charging to save the planet and us in the process?
Incidentally, since 1993, 30 years, I have been dependent upon my electric chair, with a 20 mile range I have never had to use, to carry me about 10 or 15 miles every day in my daily activity. Not once have I been held up because my chair, sometimes low in charge, failed to operate. I wasn't even challenged when we lost power for three days a year ago. With two chairs fully charged.
Rent a hybrid car for long drives.

Sandie,
God is using you powerful in these last days to stand for justice and stir our emotions with truth.. We all have our own resources in our country without reliance on foreign batteries which cause their own pollution when extracting them from earth. It's all to make communist countries rich where we are scrambling for survival to get back and forth!! It's about in the end income redistribution to make us weaker.. Thank you dearly for speaking our minds and hearts ): Glad your better

Apparently, you didn't take the vaccine because of the nonsense you heard on the Internet.
As soon as you get over what you're going through now, be sure you get vaccinated or take whatever remedies your doctor requires, because the long-term effects of Covid-19 are not something you want to deal with. My brothers didn't get vaccinated and are experiencing repeats of the virus.
This virus is one that adapts well and even has become more infectious as it develops new strains. Why boosters have become necessary. I will be taking my annual booster with my annual flu shot.

Cheney Has Failed Miserably (Article) - 8/18/2022 1:22:27 PM
Ron:
You'll need to take that brainwashed blinders out of your head. You said there is no proof that if the Democrats win then the economy and the country will be ruined. Take those blinders out of your head and take a look around you at what a shameful state your country is in. The past several years have been the proof.
Liz Cheney's mission to destroy Trump supersedes all her reasoning to have a leader who would make a greater good for the country. An election is all about choosing a leader who can do the job, and who can do it better for the country and its citizens. It should not be biased.
Regardless of what you think about Trump, my observation is that Trump can do a better job than Biden, who is nothing but a puppet in the White House, taking orders from foreign countries to destroy America from within. This is what has been happening for the past several years. Not only America's economy has gone downhill, but it affects the whole world as well just because you have a corrupted puppet in the White House working as president!
It's time you take your head out of the sand or make that great leap from the bottom of your well to see what really is happening in America!!! You need President Trump like you need him yesterday!!!
With President Trump being the president he can save the American economy. He may also stop the Russia-Ukraine war, and stop the inflation of the ever-rising prices for everything. President Trump has proven to be a peace-maker of wars between two countries, he has made friends with America's enemies and turned them into friends, and he works for the greater good of the country for 4 years without taking his salary. He has donated them all to charities. President Trump only has one goal in mind - to work for the greater good of America to make it great again!
So, I am asking you, the one who is wearing brainwashed blinders, to take that out of your head to see the world as it truly is and not let this blind hatred of Trump supersede your sense of reasoning.
Sandie
Cheney Has Failed Miserably (Article) - 8/18/2022 11:05:40 AM
Liz Cheney learned a great lesson from her father's nefarious service to George W. Bush. Honesty wins out except in this case. Wyoming is well-known as an oil-producing and wild west attitude strong Republican state. Like most Republicans, brainwashed to the idea that if Democrats win anything the country will go to hell. There is nothing in history that proves that.
The loss not only shows that most people in Wyoming who would come out for a runoff primary are staunch Republican followers brainwashed to believe that Donald Trump is some kind of a savior rather than the conniving crook he really is.
And lastly, the loss shows that money works, especially among Republicans who gladly take large donations from anonymous donors through PACs.
Like the former governor of Alaska, Liz Cheney will come back and will be stronger than ever because she is on the right side, the side of truth and not living the lie.

The F.B.I Raid (Article) - 8/15/2022 12:39:19 PM
Hi Ron:
The White House said they were not involved in this, and they will not interfere. The question is: Who ordered the Search Warrant? And how did the person who ordered the search warrant know that some classified materials were missing? Isn't it self-admitted guilt?
And why have the F.B.I. raided Mar-a-Lago, and took possession of all the information that had been declassified by Trump when Trump was the President?
If they said that Trump has taken some Classified documents, when did that happen? Which classified information they are talking about? I am sure President Trump must have declassified ALL before he took possession of them.
As a sitting president of the United States, he could classify and declassify any or ALL information before he took possession of them.
We need to investigate who had ordered the search warrant to be executed to have the F.B.I. taken possession of the declassified information from Mar-a-Lago.
This is no joke! This is serious!
~ Sandie
The F.B.I Raid (Article) - 8/15/2022 11:51:31 AM
Like I stated before, it looks like the brilliant Trump has made a serious mistake by removing sensitive documents from the security of the White House to his personal house and then denying that he had them and even lying that he had returned them.
I believe the process of justice will find out and I believe that what is happening is not twisted in any way by political agendas. As far as a Republican agenda goes, I believe that many Republicans are disgusted that he would make such a stupid mistake.
Ron
The F.B.I Raid (Article) - 8/14/2022 1:48:34 PM
LOL!!!! Should the Dems or the court even specify which documents are classified? I'd really like to know the ones that they say are classified. They don't even have to go into detail, just tell the public what they are. (i.e. Box #____ - Clinton's email) That's all I need to know.
Sandie 😃
The F.B.I Raid (Article) - 8/14/2022 1:33:23 PM
Trump will have to testify in court if he's being charged with spying, and will have to verify his findings. If he can't or is not allowed to testify on what he has found as a result of spying, then they can't prove he's been spying.

Dear Richard:
Yes, I have been seriously ill for the past several years with Long COVID and pneumonia. I am still recovering, but I don't sit around; I use my time to do and learn new things that inspire me.
It has been 4 years now since I caught Long COVID in 2022; I hope my full recovery is in the near future.
There had been a lot of cancer victims in our family. When my brother passed away in 2022, I was actually waiting for my turn to have cancer. Unexpectedly, Long COVID and pneumonia got to me first. This was the serious illness that struck me in life. I hope that by now I may be allowed to live longer. I refuse just to sit around. I want to be productive for as long as I live.

Sadie I'm truly sorry to hear of your brother's death Dear. Hugs are being sent to you. We will place our brother's ashes in the ground next Friday. He was very good at art as well and designing things. We will always miss him and love him. He's with our mom,dad, brother and sister.
I think your jewelry is gorgeous and you will be a big success.
I too had missed a few years through many deaths and I went through depression but I thank God above for helping me through it. I've been on a year so far this time. I hope you keep writing so I can keep up with you.

Hi Ron:
No, these wires are tarnish-resistant. They don't change color or turn green. I also read the feedback too before I bought them. Thank you so much for your concerns.
Tomorrow is first day of the Chinese New Year. This is the year of the Fire Horse. A year good for renewal of energy and beginning of new projects. I am looking forward to create more wire-crafts.
I'm so happy to see you are still here on authorsden.
Chat later, dear friend!
~ Sandie
Thank you, God! (Poetry) - 2/16/2026 1:58:32 PM
That is a beautiful collection of jewelry. I hope that it won't turn green in use.
I believe that it is your own resolve and not a higher power that moves you forward to financial security and openness.

Oh dear Sandy I can relate, in 2022, I lost my mum and a few months later my partner. In 24 I lost my eldest brother and two months ago I lost my other brother.
It’s good to see you creating again, the care and patience in your work really show, and it’s clearly bringing you back into life at your own pace with such depth of love through so many trial and tribulations. Life can be so bloody tough, yet in that hurting comes beauty.
Miss you and your poetry from the depths of your soul.
My New Line of Jewelry (Poetry) - 2/5/2026 6:47:05 PM
Thanks so much, Ron!!! I'm sad to know that some friends have left. Recently, even our best friend Regis Auffray has passed away as well. That took me by surprise as well. I always thought he was going to stay for a long time because he was in good health.
Regarding my brother's artistic value. I knew he had that in him, but our parents played favoritism among their children. We just let our oldest sister and brother outshine everyone else in the family. We let our parents brag about my sister's achievements and we've just be invisible. I had been invisible pretty much most of my life with my parents until they chose to come to Canada to be with me and my brother who was the least of their favorites. They made us feel honored to be chosen.
Anyway, I did have a great time with them during the last 16 years of their lives which made me realize that whatever they did was due to the traditional Chinese culture. We enjoyed their time with us. My dad paid a lot of attention to me and every I had a promotion at work, he took a bunch of us to celebrate in Chinatown. Daddy stayed with us for 14 years and was gone too soon because of lungs cancer. My mom stayed with us fir 16 years, also left too soon because of cancer. I'm surprised I'm still alive and kicking Thank God!!!!
Anyway, I'm so glad to see you are still here.
Yes, I will write poetry too
Happy New Year to everyone!!!
Lots of love,
Sandie
My New Line of Jewelry (Poetry) - 2/5/2026 2:17:51 PM
It's really good to see you back and feeling better. I know this is the poetry section, but I also know that you want to reach as many of us as possible.
Unfortunately, many have left AD in your absence. Some of them permanently, like your fellow Canadian, Felix Perry.
Those jade pieces are very beautiful and I'm sure if you open a website or sell on eBay like I do, you may get some good money from them. I'm sad to hear that you lost your brother. But I wonder why you didn't know about his artistic ability before.
Come back and write poetry again. A few of us who comment anymore will let you know we are alive and still reading poetry and commenting.

I think you are going a good thing to spend time talking with your Third Auntie. You both can learn so much from each other, especially you can learn so much more about your large family, and then your auntie can learn more about your generation, the family she left behind. You both should feel blessed. God makes miracles every day. Your Grandmother sounds like a very good grandma.
Gav
Third Auntie Is The Best (Poetry) - 10/10/2023 9:09:39 AM
It's universal: Grandparents are wiser and more loving than are parents. The world would be greatly diminished without them. Parents get a second chance at kindness when they become grandparents. That's the cycle of life. Great story!
Third Auntie Is The Best (Poetry) - 10/7/2023 12:09:20 PM
Hello Ron:
The word "Steal" which I used was only a figure of speech. We never had to "steal" anything in my childhood. Everything was given to us. But since you have pointed it out I will correct it by using the words "helped ourselves" which I think now is more appropriate. Thank you so much for pointing it out!
I suspect my Grandmother knew the children would be hiding underneath her bed eating the stuff out of there anyway, since this had happened as well in my Auntie's generation. My Daddy had 7 other siblings. They all had fun doing the same thing we did.
To me, the word "Steal" is to take something that is not mine without permission, so I had used it. I can't remember whether or not I was hungry, but it seemed a lot of fun at the time to eat the cookies. There were many other good stuff there as well... like the dried shrimp and scallops, the abalones, which normally were used to cook with congee and soup, and the sheets of seaweed from Japan (must have been brought to my grandma by Third Auntie), but we ate them dried anyway. The abalones were tough, I had a hard time chewing them. We ate those things just for fun. Grandma wasn't really mad at us, she knew we were all doing it anyway.
Sandie :)
Third Auntie Is The Best (Poetry) - 10/7/2023 8:57:16 AM
What wonderful memories. And I'm glad you're back in touch with your third aunt. And your cousin, too. As we age and lose our elder relatives, they become more precious.
This past year, I lost my last two aunts, 93 and 97, both wives of my dad's brothers. The first wrote a one-page, but very detailed, letter about her 7 children every year. Her son's wife has taken over that family duty and I'm very grateful to hear from them once a year. The other was always so kind right up until the last time I saw her when another AD author went to visit my last uncle and her about 4 years ago. He died 2 years ago one month short of 102.
I'm sorry that you were so hungry you had to steal. My mother always kept a large coffee jar full of fresh cookies for my twin brother and I when we came home from school. We would grab a handful and then take off and do whatever we were doing after school munching cookies as we went. Stealing was something I never did… Probably because I didn't have to.
Ron

Hi Regis:
Thank you so much for your comment! I think at my Auntie's age, I would just talk about the happier events with her. She, too, shares with me her fonder memories. I think it is better that way. Should either one of us leave this world, we would leave with love and fond memories inside us.
Sandie :)
Third Auntie Is The Best (Poetry) - 10/6/2023 10:36:26 AM

I think 💬 that is the best reassurance. And to have that return to you from your own children is a beautiful feeling and a wonderful thing. Blessings, Valerie
The Fur Babies Grown Bigger After Two Weeks (Poetry) - 9/17/2023 2:25:29 PM
Thanks so much, everyone! I want to announce that I have been feeling much better these past several days. My coughs are almost gone, and I could even sing. I had tried to test myself not to use the oxygen up my nose. I took it off for 1/2 hour at a time, and I didn't even feel my lungs were stressed. I hope in time I will practise some more in this manner and will gradually extend the time that I won't need the oxygen. I hope to be able to breathe on my own by the end of next month.
Wolfgang, my pal, is so naughty. He goes into everything and is always fast as lightning. I opened the fridge, and he would jump in immediately. I had to tell him "No!" and be firm with him. Then when I opened the freezer, he was in there already before my eyes would even look at the stuff in there. He's so fast as lightning. Such a naughty boy!
He walks around with his tail straight up in the air, and sometimes he would be so obscene that the tip of his tail would reach his head, and his butt would be exposed. LOL!!!!! This must be the male thing. He's a boy! He's been neutered already before he came to us as I was told, yet he walks around and is so obscene. Hehahaha!!!!! :D
Stanzi is more quiet, although she, too, jumps and dashes around everywhere. I tried to take some more photos of them, but they moved around too much and would not sit still. We have to watch them closely. They are like two toddlers, everything they could find they would put that in their mouths, or play with it. My daughter spent the money to buy them a lot of toys, but all they wanted to play with was the twist ties. Hahaha!!!!
Anyway... I'm so glad we've got them. In the beginning, there was a cat with an extra finger on one of his front paws, and we were supposed to get that one, but by the time we wanted to take a second look at him, he was adopted by someone already. Then we've found these two guys. They are as cute as ever!

Fur babies make you feel all warm and fuzzy and are much cheaper and easier to maintain than human babies.
If we teach our children well, they will honor us and take care of us in our old age. Some wise advice from someone who knows from your experience recently.

Hi Ron:
Perhaps you are not an animal lover or a cat person.
We've always had cats in our house, and they are so passionate. They love us! They don't have any attitudes towards us. They would rush over to greet us in the morning as soon as we wake up as if to greet us good morning. We love them and would never let their litter box stink.
Thanks to my daughter, who has OCD, she keeps everything clean and sanitized all the time. My place is always spotless. The kitties are healthy. Wolfie and Stanzi are short-haired domestic cats so they do not shed hair like those with long hair, but even if they do it's part of catslife, and it is acceptable. My place is vacuumed daily, sometimes, twice, daily on the weekends. Our pets need a clean, healthy environment to live in. Pet owners should never allow their place to be messy and smelly. Poops got to be cleared away regularly to the toilet from the litterbox. Animal lovers will understand what I'm talking about. If you love your pets, you'll need to create a clean healthy environment for them.
When my children were small, their first pet was Freddy. We bought Freddy from the Humane Society so my children could feel a sense of responsibility towards Freddy and in turn my children could feel themselves being important.
Sandie
My New Fur Babies (Poetry) - 9/7/2023 12:53:26 PM
Kittens are a lot of fun and really cute. Unfortunately they going to cats with attitudes and, sometimes, disagreeable habits. What I can't stand his cat hair everywhere and the smell of a litter box.
Ron
My New Fur Babies (Poetry) - 9/7/2023 9:45:48 AM
Thank you, dear Poetesses and Poets!!! We did not get these kitties this week. Wolfie and Stanzi came to us two weeks ago and they were 10 weeks of age then. In another two weeks, they will be 4 months old. They are still so active. Often jump and dash around like the Supermario brothers of the Nintendo Game, always get into trouble by putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. They are like two little toddlers!!!
Wolfie, the orange one, is so close to me and he sometimes sleeps with me on my bed like my Big Boy Pride did. Sometimes, I wonder if he was the reincarnation of my Big Boy Pride. I remember when Pride was a toddler, he jumped and bounced around like the Supermario too.
Oh, these two kitties have lit up my life. I am so happy now. I can't imagine a day without any pets in our home. We've always have pets. They are like children.
Sandie :)
My New Fur Babies (Poetry) - 9/6/2023 7:01:33 PM
OMG!! It must be kitty week because I rescued a baby kitten a week ago that someone dumped off at Lowes parking lot. So we took her in named her Tinkerbelle and my brother in law who's very lonely took her in happily!! Lovely story Sandie!!

Hi Joyce:
I was born into a very large family. Both my father and my mother have large families. My Dad had 8 other siblings, while my Mom had 17 other siblings - reason: My mom's dad had six wives. It was legal in ancient China and Hong Kong. The multiple-wives policy was only abolished in the '70s. My own real grandma was #5.

So true, I have a page, but haven't been to it for a while. Quite boring and a waste of time. I check up on friends sometimes, but nothing really exciting going on.
PS
Immaturity Has Its Limit (Poetry) - 8/4/2023 1:13:13 PM
I have a page. But nothing more. I thought it was a place where families could interact the way the original students did when the concept was developed for college students to communicate with one another more easily.
I still go there to find pictures from my family they never send to me. That's okay. They are tied up in their busy lives and just dump that information on their pages so that anyone who wants, like me, can go and look at it.
But you sound actively engaged in some kind of discussions, like the old chat rooms. I wouldn't touch those with a 10 foot pole. You're right, they will come back at you like polecats.

Hi Jane:
There won't be any politics, as Facebook is now banning all Canadian news, and banning its members from posting any political news, or even reposting and sharing of news from any news organization or news outlet. Facebook has become one big media in Slumberland. Nothing to see, nothing to post, nothing to read.
People post things but only mumbling to themselves, there aren't many others who would respond. Occasionally, I still have friends who would console me for my COVID mishap. When I post my work, then only a handful of friends would respond. Not sure if it's worth my time in there anymore. I will miss my friends though, I think I will just step in once in a while. It's too quiet and doesn't hold any interest for me right now.
Sandie
Immaturity Has Its Limit (Poetry) - 8/4/2023 9:12:46 AM
I must agree, Sandie! I couldn't bear to do the fb thing today. I don't like the negativity and anger there. Hey! You know, my friend, I'm all about peace and love. As far as the politics go, I don't engage in those types of conversations because it starts a war. I'm an Independent and I study both sides of candidates and use my BRAIN (most people think we don't have them) to decide on my own. We are leaders, not followers.
Love ya!

Thank you for sharing your opinion, Sandie. To me, all of social media is a melting pot of chaotic expression. I have very low expectations of it all so, I do not lose any sleep over it. I do use it to share my "poetry" and such and I use the messenger function to communicate with the "snowflakes" in my relationships, each one unique. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

AND AN 'OPINION' IS EVERY PERSON'S RIGHT, SO NO 'SCUFFS' FROM ME AT ALL. IN MY OPINION ALL OF THE EVENTS WERE OCCURRENCES THAT GOD, OF COURSE, ALLOWED. AND, AS SO MANY THINGS THAT HE ALLOWS ARE, THEY ARE A MYSTERY TO US AND WILL REMAIN SO UNTIL THE APPEARANCE OF HIS NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH.

My Dear Third Auntie (Poetry) - 6/29/2023 10:27:08 AM
What a wonderful story! But concerning her age, keep in touch with her often. She may not have long to live and you need to keep her thinking of you and your extended family as a comfort for her as age isolates her from her earlier life and lost friends, relatives, like her sisters and her husband.
I lost my last aunt about two months ago. She was 97 and the wife of my dad's brother who lived to 102. I saw them both when a fellow author, Scott Zachary, drove me to College Station to see them about five years ago. I felt bad I hadn't called, but the last time I did, I got her daughter, my cousin told me that she was suffering from dementia

You looked great in a tiara of flowers in your picture. But what this poem needs is a picture of what you are describing needs to be shopped for.
Can't wait to see the cute picture you come up with.
Glad you have a caregiver. While not valued very much they sure can be a big help.

Do You Want Your Daddy To Be Your Daddy In Your Next Life? (Poetry) - 6/17/2023 10:57:01 AM
An interesting life story in the Poetry section, and very personal. You clearly show us Chinese mores that persisted even in colonial Hong Kong where sons were honored far more than daughters and men of means could have as many wives as they could afford, and therefore, many children.
But you clearly showed how things changed for your daddy when you got to Canada and started to assume Canadian values and mores. You are a product of mixed family and cultural influences. It is your strength and sometimes, your concern. But anyone would want to have the rich life that you've had and for you to have it over, the way you want it to be, would be nice.

Do You Want Your Daddy To Be Your Daddy In Your Next Life? (Poetry) - 6/17/2023 8:15:32 AM
This is a heartfelt poem. Sandie, I think you have made your decision out of the love you have for your dad, making sure he will not have to suffer the same hardship that he had in this life. It's a logical decision. I also saw the same post in Facebook but others would always say that they would like to have their daddy in their next life. Your answer is exceptional, but it also makes sense.

Do You Want Your Daddy To Be Your Daddy In Your Next Life? (Poetry) - 6/16/2023 1:22:32 PM
Thank you so much, JoAnne!!! Yes, I have probably outdone what the doctors have expected of me.
I am feeling so good right now but unfortunately am still in need of the oxygen tank. I am at Level 2 for activity and Level 1 for sleeping. I hope within the next two or three months I will be able to get rid of the oxygen tanks and be back to my normal self. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. God is watching over me!

Nothing, But Tears (Poetry) - 10/4/2022 8:50:12 AM
So sorry that you have lost your parents and your brother to cancer. But think of your heritage, your children who will benefit from all your works that you have done--especially your beautifully illustrated children's books. And members of your extended family and their children will remember you long after you are gone for those books.
The best way to avoid cancer is to eat a healthy diet and exercise so that you stay physically fit and have a high level of cancer fighters in your body. We all get cancers all the time. But if we have a powerful, healthy immune system, they are gone before they grow.
Don't believe all of the claims of bogus supplements but get checked early and take the treatments that the doctors are working hard at to defeat cancer.

Thank you, Joanne! I appreciate the information! I shall check out that song!
It's true about friends. Yesterday, I had been so upset I wanted to cancel out everything.
I began to deactivate my Facebook account, but Facebook kept asking me "Are you sure?" And it would not allow me to deactivate my account. I then I felt as though my action may seem like a betrayal to my friends and fans. I then chose to deactivate my account temporarily, which I'm glad I did.
I deactivated it around noon time, but by nightfall I missed my friends already. So, reactivated it again.
That was my feelings. I can never betray my friends.
9nce again - Thank you for the meaningful song! I truly appreciate it!

Dumbass World (Poetry) - 10/1/2022 7:57:26 AM
Yes, there is a large proportion of society that doesn't care and doesn't act to make things better for the rest of the world. I'm not sure about deifying dog poop, but it is an interesting thought.
I just watched Crazy Rich Asians and found that the whole movie was about the uncaring excess that wealthy people do in their wealthy enclaves like Singapore where the poor are conveniently hidden away but still used by the rich for their comforts.

Crypto Coins, Bitcoins, Apple Coins, Tesla Coins, etc. (Poetry) - 8/3/2022 8:08:35 PM

Crypto Coins, Bitcoins, Apple Coins, Tesla Coins, etc. (Poetry) - 8/2/2022 9:45:46 AM
An article with some good advice. As convenient as these crypto currencies are, they are dependent upon the Internet, like most business, these days.
Like we found out here in Texas with the power grid down over four days in the dead of our rather warm winter, a time without the expected necessities can be difficult to weather. It's always good to keep at least a month's supply of food and water if needed as well as cash or even gold or silver for if it gets tougher because of the cascading effect that might happen from one system like the grid, shutting down the Internet and more.

Crypto Coins, Bitcoins, Apple Coins, Tesla Coins, etc. (Poetry) - 8/2/2022 4:46:14 AM
It is so dangerous when you don't know enough to invest in something. Anything that sounds too good to be true it usually is. There are too many instances that I read about people getting scammed out of their life savings. Just a week or so ago I read from the yahoo front page news that a guy who sold his home to buy the coins and lost his life Savings. He then borrowed 100K from his mother to buy more and lost that 100K as well. When he tried to retrieve what was left of his investment the Platform was nowhere to be found. All these coins things are scams, they are nothing but the old pyramid game. They use the money from the new investors to pay the old investors. The pyramid is bound to collapse at any time.
I will not buy into these scams no matter how enticing they may be, and I won't regret it one bit!

This is a very wise write Sandie. I personally cannot see the logic of this type of currency. Since there is nothing tangible to back up the currency, it sounds like a good old fashion Ponzi scheme. Time will tell if I missed out on the deal of a lifetime or I was one of the smart ones. lol

I Dreamed Of Mommy Last Night (Poetry) - 6/15/2022 4:14:24 PM
I AM 77, MY MOM DIED MANY YEARS AGO. I ONLY DREAMPT OF MY MOMMY ONCE, BUT IT WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT. MY MOTHER WAS NOT A RELIGIOUS PERSON BUT HER MESSAGE TO ME WAS THE EXTREME OPPOSITE RELATING TO A SUBJECT WE HAD NEVER DISCUSSED BEFORE. FIRST, LET ME EXPLAIN THERE IS A OLD CHRISTIAN SONG THAT GOES, IN PART, LIKE THIS; 'IN THAT GREAT GETTING-UP MORNING, HALLELU! HALLELU!' REFERRING TO THE FACT THAT AT THE END OF THE WORLD, JESUS WILL RETURN AND TAKE US ALL TO HEAVEN. UNTIL THEN THE DEPARTED 'SLEEP/REST' IN HIS PEACE. SO WHEN MY MOTHER ASKED ME THE QUESTION; 'WHO WILL WAKE YOU IN THE MORNING?' I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT AND I WOKE UP IMMEDIATELY. YOUR MOMMY CAME TO YOU WITH A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE AND I CAN RELATE TO HOW GOOD THAT FEELS, INDEED. GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO REACH OUT TO US JUST WHEN WE NEED IT MOST.

My grandmother was quite strict. Made me take a nap and kept me from running around outside. Staying awake the whole time waiting for her to come and tell us we could run outside again. But later in life, she became my companion for road trips that we both enjoyed, both with her driving and with me driving.
My other grandmother was a softy who made great eggs from her chickens in the morning. I remember seeing her comb her waist length gray hair on the dining room table like rolling bread dough. I would have taken her on road trips, too, but mom said that she had a heart condition so I didn't.
Without the medicines you describe, my first grandmother got cancer and died. My second grandmother got Alzheimer's and died five years later at 90.

Hi Sandie:
I have placed a comment to you on your Facebook's post, but I might as well place the same comment here as well:
You are right, Sandie! The Version of a grandma or grandparents, or even parents rests upon the grandchildren or children. Every child is an individual and may have different feelings towards their parents and grandparents. You are blessed to have a loving grandmother who had your best interest in her heart.

I Dreamed Of Mommy Last Night (Poetry) - 5/26/2022 7:54:34 AM
Thank you, everyone!!! I love you all so much!!!
On the day of my birthday, I woke up early, and immediately I thought about my mom because she used to give me lucky money in a red envelope for good luck on my birthday. That morning I felt depressed, feeling there was no longer anyone around who would give me lucky money for good luck (Traditionally, the lucky money had to be given to me by someone older than me, i.e. my parents or aunties). Same on Chinese New Year's Day, I have not had any lucky money for many years either. I felt depressed, but the thought of my children and my brother coming over to celebrate with me on my birthday made me happy again. I got out of bed and began working in the kitchen. I love to make treats for my children to eat. I love them all unconditionally. We had spent a great day together!
Then Mommy came to me in my dream and handed me a beautifully designed red coat. I'm assuming she wanted to give me something much nicer than a red envelope. I think the red coat was like a red envelope for good luck. I was so happy that my mommy remembered my birthday and she came to give me a birthday present in my dream.
Sandie

a very special birthday gift…She is telling you she is around you, and always
caring for you and loving you…
She is a beautiful lady…
Love,

How so very precious ! I know she really came to you. Sandie, I believe you are very gifted spiritually and can see. I see loved ones who passed in dreams and it's incredibly comforting to know they are waiting for us and safe. They are so very concerned for our well being every hour of every day..I hear Chinese moms do everything for their children and she looks like such a sweetheart and I know she's so very happy !!!..The spiritual world is more real than the physical if we open our hearts. I'm so happy you had this beautiful time together in the dream world. She knows you cherish her and awaits your return to your real eternal home):

This was a wonderfully beautiful tribute to your mother. I could see the love and light she brought to your life. Even though she is in heaven I can see the beauty and love still remains.

A beautiful poem for your beautiful mom! You have so much love for your her, and you showed the world how valuable a mother is. Your mom and dad makes a great looking couple. Your dad is tall and handsome, and your mom is very pretty! Like mother like daughter!

Your daddy's tall and your mommy's good-looking… (A line from the song, Summertime)
I can see why your parents, although they moved all the way from China to Canada and brought you along, were the guiding light of your life. And I can see why she would still be guiding you like she did all those years you were so close.
And happy Mother's Day to you as a mother. I hope that your children have recognized you and your importance to them during yesterday's holiday.

Thanks so much, Joanne, Richard and Regis!!! My mom and dad had both passed away already. My dad in 2004 and my mom in 2006. Sadly, they had both died of cancer, but I'm happy they are both pain-free now.

And Just Like That... (Poetry) - 4/16/2022 10:12:49 PM
I find it ridiculous that people would quickly turn their backs on Will Smith after all the good things he has done to inspire the children and the movie industry.
I think he is at a difficult time, and I wish more of his friends would come forward to defend him rather than bash him. I am appalled at how many have turned their backs on him! I'll have to ask... Just what kind of friends are they?
Hollywood is the most heartless place to be working in!
How many white pedophile directors and actors/actresses had behaved in the worst possible way and were still welcome to walk the dirty carpet of the Oscar? But as soon as a black man did something out of the ordinary everyone jumped on him as though he has done the worst possible thing on earth!
I agree. Will has done wrong! But I don't think he deserves the scrutiny from everyone. It was an emotional moment for him, knowing that his wife, Jada had once had an affair with Chris Rock, and against his better judgment, he acted in an emotional manner. We must ask ourselves a question: Haven't we all done something wrong in our lives and regretted it later? The answer is... We've all been there emotionally at one time or another. I am mad at the ones who call themselves friends who would suddenly turn their backs on him. To err is human, and Will IS a human being after all. He should be forgiven and move on, but to call for punishment on him rather than to help him be emotionally stabled his friends and the movie industry have failed him.
His wife Jada lacks love and compassion for her husband, she had an affair with Chris Rock once in her life, so to say that Chris did not know about her illness was a lie. Chris should be the one who should apologize for his tasteless joke. He should feel guilty for ruining Will's life, and Jada should be ashamed of herself for her betrayal of her husband whose intention was there to protect her.

I deeply respect masculinity. We need it in our world, God is the one who provided it, but we also need to be mature enough to handle things in a proper way so as no to give reasons to try to cancel it.
CERTAINTY (Poetry) - 4/15/2022 12:54:11 PM
SANDIE, I CAN RELATE TO THIS. AND THIS HAPPENED ONLY A FEW YEARS BACK, I KNOW I WAS MY 70'S AND I AM 77 NOW.
I DREAMT OF SEEING MY MOM IN A WAY I HAD NEVER SEEN HER AND SHE SPOKE TO ME AND ONLY ASKED ME ONE QUESTION; WHO'S GOING TO WAKE YOU IN THE MORNING? (THE 'RAPTURE' OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD, IS OFTEN SUNG OF AS...'IN THAT GREAT GETTING-UP MORNING, HALLELU, HALLELU!!!1CORN 15:51-53, 1THESS 4:16-18)
THIS WAS AMAZING TO ME FOR TWO REASONS; FIRST, MY MOM WAS NOT A RELIGIOUS PERSON. SO FOR HER TO APPEAR TO ME AND SPEAK OF THE 'RAPTURE', SOMETHING WE HAD NEVER TALKED ABOUT WHILE SHE WAS ALIVE, WAS A SURPRISE, BUT...A PLEASANT ONE. I DO BELIEVE THAT IN DREAMS GOD USES THE IMAGES OF THOSE WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH TO GIVE US MESSAGES FROM HIM...IT MAKES US MORE RECEPTIVE OF HIS MESSAGES, AND THEY ARE LESS APT TO BE DISCARDED OR FORGOTTEN. AND SECONDLY, THOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP, I TOO WAS GRATEFUL JUST TO SEE HER AGAIN.
THANKS FOR SHARING, SANDIE! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
REGARDING WILL SMITH (Poetry) - 4/15/2022 12:14:11 PM
FIRST, BEFORE I START LET ME SAY, I AGREE WITH THE 'GIST' OF THIS SHARING, THOUGH I AM LOOKING AT IT FROM A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ASPECT. SECONDLY, JADA DOES NOT HAVE A TERMINAL ILLNESS. ALOPECIA IS A CONDITION BY WHICH ONE LOSES THEIR HAIR, IN A GROSS FASHION ALMOST OVERNIGHT; ONE DAY IT'S HERE THE NEXT DAY IT'S GONE. IT IS A CONDITION THAT MEN ADJUST TO BETTER THAN WOMEN, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND OF COURSE, CAN BE VERY DEVESTATING EMOTIONALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY. SO, WITHOUT QUESTION, HER ON-LINE POSTS EXPRESSING HER CONCERNS AND FEELINGS ABOUT HER CONDITION WAS KNOWN BY EVERYONE...INCLUDING CHRIS ROCK. THIS SAID, I AM SURE HE COULD HAVE FOUND ANY OTHER SUBJECT TO GET A LAUGH ABOUT, I MEAN REALLY. NOW GETTING BACK TO WILL...I LOOK UPON WILL AS A YOUNG MAN WHO MADE A BIG MISTAKE. A MISTAKE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF HE HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT. BUT HE, LIKE ALL OF US, IS HUMAN. AND IN THAT MOMENT HE REACTED TO THE VERBAL ATTACK WHICH WAS MEANT TO BE FUNNY AT JADA'S EXPENSE. GOOD NATUREDLY, SHE LAUGHED BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE CLIP OF THAT MOMENT, IT WAS HER IMMEDIATE FOLLOW-UP EXPRESSION...THAT SHOWED HER TRUE FEELINGS AND THAT'S WHAT WILL SAW AND REACTED TO. HAD WILL THOUGHT, HE WOULD HAVE WAITED AND MADE IT HIS BUSINESS TO APPROACH CHRIS AFTER THE SHOW TO PRIVATELY LET HIM KNOW VERBALLY HOW HE FELT. BUT I GUESS IN HIS ANGER, HE FELT; IF THIS MAN ATTACKED MY WIFE PUBLICLY, I CAN DEFEND MY WIFE PUBLICLY AND HE DID. SO, NO...HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT, BUT...I UNDERSTAND FULLY WHY HE DID IT. CAUGHT OFF-GUARD NOT EXPECTING THE ATTACK, HE REACTED. AND HOW MANY OF US WILL ADMIT TO BEING GUILTY OF DOING THE SAME THING...OF 'LOSING IT' WHEN WE SHOULDN'T HAVE? BUT CAN I TELL YOU WHAT REALLY THREW ME FOR A LOOP? THE GROSS LACK OF 'UNDERSTANDING' THAT HE RECEIVED FROM SOME OF HIS PEERS AND THE PUBLIC. I TELL YOU...PEOPLE ARE SO FICKLE! YOU CAN HAVE DONE SO MANY GOOD THINGS TO BE ADMIRED AND RESPECTED FOR IN YOUR LIFE, BUT WHEN YOU 'TRIP-UP' THE SAME PEOPLE POUNCE ON YOU LIKE THEY NEVER KNEW YOU AND WORSE...LIKE THEY NEVER MADE A 'MISTAKE' IN THEIR LIFE. I THINK THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH WE NEED JESUS IN OUR LIVES. YOU KNOW, HE CAME TO TEACH US...TO FORGIVE AND NOT JUDGE OTHERS. AND THOUGH THIS IS NOT EASY TO DO, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE HAS DELIBERATELY BEEN HURT...IT IS POSSIBLE. AND I THINK THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT IS TO TRY AND PUT ONESELF IN ANOTHER PERSON'S SHOES. I DON'T THINK ANY OF US WOULD BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE ANOTHER IF WE ASKED OURSELVES; WHAT IF IT HAD BEEN ME...WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE? IN THAT SAME SITUATION OF TRYING TO DEFEND A LOVED-ONE, IS IT QUITE POSSIBLE THAT I WOULD HAVE REACTED THE SAME WAY? I AM GLAD THAT THEY DIDN'T TAKE HIS OSCAR AWAY AND I AM HOPING THAT, EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL GIVE HIM LESS SUSPENSION TIME...BECAUSE HE DESERVES MERCY!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING.

Hi Ron:
No, they have not cancelled it out yet. It is a long process of brainwashing and this is just the beginning.
Next time when someone insults a woman, the husband would think twice before he does anything to protect her. Then, more and more, and later it would become normal that women can be insulted and the husbands would think it is okay for them to be insulted. It's a slow process of brainwashing. Women's place in society is gradually taken away. The proudest function is being a mother has already been taken away as the brainwashed women can't wait to say "I'm a woman, but I don't want babies, I will abort it and am proud that I have done it!" In my opinion, feminists need to think twice about women's place in society.
Years ago, a woman stayed home to be a mother and grandmother. The men went out to work and brought home the bacon, but it was up to the mothers and grandmothers to make the bacon into dinner and cooked up a storm to feed the family. She also made the house a home for everyone. Don't call me old fashion, but that is a woman's function which the men could not live without. That was a woman's function in society. The function of men in those old days was being providers and protectors for their wives and their families.
But now, modern women aren't viewed as important as those in the old days anymore. Modern society does not respect women as in the old days. Sad indeed! But that's just my opinion.

That's what just about Hollywood is. You are only good for a few good movies and then as you age they try to push you out to let some new younger ones in. I doubt if there are any new actors who could pick up where Smith has left off.

Masculinity is not in danger. But bad behavior, especially among people of fame, should not be given another level of immunity. Like the former president claiming that women like to be groped and completely getting away with it because he was such a wonderful model of masculinity--not!
Ron
And Just Like That... (Poetry) - 4/2/2022 10:45:39 PM
We all have an opinion and we all have a voice. However, we are NEVER cancelled by the one who MATTERS THE MOST - OUR MAKER! When we finally go to meet our maker we will have to answer to this foolishness. AMEN!
REGARDING WILL SMITH (Poetry) - 4/2/2022 10:28:32 AM
That's okay, Alex! That just means they're one member less, but they are suffering a big loss of this one member because Will is a big star. I'm sure a lot of second-rated stars or starlets would love to see Will fall. That is why they are going to full force to criticize him. Hollywood is a conscienceless place to work in. No one is your real friend. When disaster strikes, you will see friends' true faces.
What I will be sad to see is that having his first Oscar may be taken away, other than that the organization will just suffer from one vote less. But knowing Will, he probably will not care if they decide to take back the Oscar that they give him. It will be just an eyesore for bad memory if he keeps that with him in the house.
I honestly have no idea why only Will Smith needs discipline and not Chris Rock since he started the whole thing first by making fun of Jada's bald head. In my opinion, both are at fault.
Sandie
REGARDING WILL SMITH (Poetry) - 3/31/2022 10:24:32 AM
Thanks, Ron, for agreeing with me! Will Smith has always been a good guy. To think that he could be ruined by this clown face, Chris Rock, is not fair. Will has come a long way to be where he is today. I think you are right - a slap is not a punch. People are so ready to ruin him. Not fair. Everyone should just let it go and move on.
Sandie
REGARDING WILL SMITH (Poetry) - 3/31/2022 8:36:03 AM
Who deservedly won best picture? Don't know.
Who deservedly won best actress? Don't know.
Best supporting actor and best supporting actress? Don't know.
Who slapped who and why? Do know and can't help but know.
I have no respect on either side of the slap, only the knowledge that this is the world that we live in now.
REGARDING WILL SMITH (Poetry) - 3/31/2022 8:22:44 AM
I agree with what you said. And I would add that a slap is not a punch and rarely inflicts any more damage than a sting that lasts only momentarily but gets one's attention that whoever is slapping you is angry with what you said.
Chris Rock is well known for his snide remarks, a part of his appeal as a comic. It was an unfortunate statement.
Will Smith has always been a standup guy, faithful to his wife and children, and a good example in the parts that he plays, started out as a rap singer with a clean rap, into a beloved superstar. I believe we should accept his apology and let everything go as a momentary act of defense and nothing more. No harm done, just words.
