THIS I SWEAR



This I swear is true

My love for you will last
Till time itself is through
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
This I swear is true
(Swear is true)

My heart is yours my dear
There will be no one new
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
This I swear is true

(Swear is true)

I promise you that I
Will never make you cry
This love will be eternally
Cross my heart and hope to die

My lips will kiss I vow
Nobody else but you
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling
This I swear is true
(This I swear is true)

This I swear is true
This I swear is true
This I swear is true
This I swear is true

This I swear is true
This I swear is true
This I swear is true
Ooh

SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU


I know Bob didn’t deliberately {walk out} on me when he was walked into Heaven with Yeshua.

BUT, I still MISS his presence.

**********


I don’t have plans and schemes
And don’t have hopes and dreams
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you.


I don’t have fond desires
And I don’t have happy hours
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you.


I don’t have happiness, and I guess
I never will ever again
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he’s been here since then.


I don’t have love to share
And I don’t have one who cares
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have You
You, you, you
You, you, you,
You, you, you,
You, you …

You

CENSUS CIRCUS


It seems to me, that our household gets picked to have our brains picked every 10 years.

No joke.

E.V.E.R.Y.T.E.N.Y.E.A.R.S. the Hargand household get “chosen” to “take part in the Washington State Census” circus ...


And every 10 years, I REFUSE to do it:


Like clockwork.

Right off: It is AN INFRINGEMENT ON MY RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. I do not {chose} to do this activity – it is being FORCED on me AGAINST MY WILL. Therefore, it is an infringement on my birthright, as an American Citizen, to say ‘yea’ or ‘nay’ to this particular activity; which I find offensive in every way possible to be offended.

Not necessarily true – the government may try to scare you into believing you must comply … but, that is not necessarily truth. I choose NOT to – and I DON’T HAVE to. Legally.

Secondly: There is NO actual benefit to ANY American Citizen to be so scrutinized by their neighbor.

Thirdly: IF, as the government arm (and/or the state rep that shows up if you refuse to comply) tries to brainwash you into believing, the questions are “to help your community/national region at large” … then, WHY ARE THE QUESTIONS REQUIRING A RESPONSE ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PERSONAL SPACE AND LIFE? The “community at large” & “the region at large” DOES NOT NEED TO KNOW my name, gender, sex, age, ethnic background, financial background, my educational background, my religious affiliations, my reading habits, my seeping habits, or my eating habits! The Census Questionnaire too closely resembles that of the DSHS.

And I just find the racial aspect of the questionnaire highly offensive – for many reasons, but mostly because I do not feel that the racial card should be used for any reason, in America:

NO ethnic race should be given special considerations: I find the entire census circus bullshit highly offensive. American Citizens understand that skin color is NOT a deciding factor in how Americans live in America; that people, in America, are being divided into {special} sectors of life – for special privileges given based ON SKIN COLOR, IS NOT OKAY WITH ME.

NO!

I do NOT have to answer those types of questions for anyone – concerning anything.

The questionnaire is personal.

And my personal life is private.

So, I steadfastly REFUSE to comply with answering the questions.

THAT IS MY RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.

And I find it very curious that every damned time one of those ‘state representatives’ come knocking on my door … they are ALWAYS of an ethnic race I AM NOT.

Not that it seriously matters – because I would STILL NOT “comply”.

IF, as the government wants us to believe, they “need” this census to decide how $$$$$$ should be divvied out … the government CAN TAP INTO THOSE “NEEDS” ALREADY RECORDED.

NOTHING, concerning ANY of these ‘factors’ will seriously be changed for the better with the census report. The census report is not productive, based on the questions asked - ALL the questions being asked are geared towards special treatment. MPO

I refuse to be a hamster on a hamster wheel.

So, when the woman showed up the other afternoon, I just refused to ‘comply’.

And I said, “Surely, you people can find someone else to pester. I am sure that our Name is not the ONLY Name in America … I am dealing with my husband’s death this year & I really do not have the time; nor the inclination to deal with government bullshit: find someone else to answer your queries.”

And I shut the door.

Knowing that 10 years into the future, I will have to refuse to comply again.

MOD Tanmen, China CLAM SLIPPERS


Have I mentioned how much I LIKE this slipper pattern?

I believe I have ;-)

It is SO EASY to make up – and lends itself well to modifications.

I just finished up this pair of slippers:

Giant Sea Clam - Tanmen, China
MOD Tanmen, China Clam Slippers

I like to design around nature's color schemes, and I like quirky creations: slippers are what I am doing this year ;-)

I have a few more slippers to knot up that I will make in this type of design – then, I think I will make up a few just plain.

After all, though there are some women who are as quirky as I am … most are just plain janes. LOL

WHEN I NEED YOU

BOB WAS MY FAMILY - HE WAS MY WORLD


Every day with my gentle giant was a day I always felt blessed.

And loved and cherished. Unconditionally.

our 1st date 45 years ago kick-started a lifetime of love that will never end

Even though Bob’s physical presence is no longer with me, he is always with me
(https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2018/12/widowhood.html).

I love you, Babe.

Always.

NOT FOR DANCING – BUT I LIKED IT :-)


When went out to night spots the first year of our life together, if there was a live band playing where we ended up - Bob would request they play this song for me.

It is not a dancing song, but he knew I liked Eric Burdon's vocals - and I liked the organ ;-)

I love you, Babe.

Always.
