Thoughts, we all have them. What is yours?

What is on your mind? I love all type of topics and will talk about almost anything! So, what is happening with you lately?

Come, tell me about yourself. What excites you about writing? What other things do you do: Art, music, animals?

I was just surprised by the pick because he retired from neurosurgery practice over a decade ago and has, in the time since, arguably built a higher national profile for himself in politics/public service. It would be like wanting to meet Mark Wahlberg not because he's a famous actor, but because of his prior musical accomplishments with The Funky Bunch. It's a totally valid choice, just an unexpected one.

Humm, why not? A highly respect neurosurgeon and he has a fascinating life history. No one could ever guess that he would have made it to become a doctor let along a neurosurgeon.

Thanks for reading and your valued comments.

My first visit to your blog! Thank you for the trinket.
I imagine the frying pan was used for all kinds of things, back in the day.
I actually won a skillet toss competition at a county fair!

I have to agree with you. Home is my favorite place as well. However, I do like to travel on the occasion and get a change of scenery, but it's always the best to walk back through the home doors!

That's unacceptable regarding the parking situation. To be told you're allowed to park someplace, and then not allowed to park there due to a requirement that clearly should have been mentioned in the letter. I usually use the valet parking option for my eye appointments, as it's free and reasonably convenient.

I used to go horse riding as a teenager. We lived in the city and I begged my parents to let me have a horse, and I swore I would look after it. Fortunately, they said no because that would never have worked out

I used to love horses though and I spent all my spare time at the stables, which were a half-hour bike ride away. But it's different when you chose to help muck out the stables when it suits you compared to having to do it because it's your horse, in the freezing cold or when it's raining.

I haven't been near a horse since then. I would probably be a bit scared of them now.

Great advice! As I reach the "mid-career" level of my life, I find myself thinking more and more about retirement and what planning I should do now to make sure that those later years are properly financed. But I'm honestly surprised at how many people my age don't have ANY retirement savings. Or much savings. Many of them are the result extenuating life circumstances (which no one can control), but there are quite a few who just "haven't gotten around to thinking about it" yet. That terrifies me because, as you said, starting earlier in life is the best way to ensure later success!

I had heard of Narcolepsy but I didn't really know what it meant, so I found this very informative! I can imagine that it must have been quite scary at times.

Blog Harbor #28

Prompt #28: If you could create a charitable foundation with billions of dollars in resources, what causes would you try to tackle?

It would be to end homelessness. In a country as wealthy as ours, homelessness should not be rapid. With billions in resources, no Veteran, senior or child should be living on the streets. First, temporary shelters could be established using vacant city lots with over site by the charitable organization created. These temporary shelters should provide housing, showers and food sources. Helping those to be clean, fed and have a place to sleep, then programs to assist in obtaining employment should begin. I would love to see a program where everyone who is considered homelessness, would be involved in the program itself. A organization that would employ billions of dollars/resources should be able to utilize the talents (even how minimal) of those who are being helped.

If people are healthy enough to do some type of work, should do so. Any skills taught or brought to the organization by the homelessness, would apply back into the organization. Clerical workers, trades, talents learned via Veterans can be utilized to support the organization. It sounds like a massive take on, but I do believe it could work. Those individuals that have health issues, whether drugs or illnesses, would have to be exempt for the work contribution program and be encompassed in a separate program but indirectly connected to the charitable foundation. As these individuals improved in the health situation they would be required to give back in some fashion.

I don't have all the details work out in my mind but I do feel it is feasible.
