What are you thinking about?

Lovely to hear, I do the same.

I think all creatures do the best they can, and that's why I can't hate anybody - there are people I like, and there are people I don't like, but again, I don't hate anybody.

Because how can you hate a living creature when they are doing the best they can.


I don't like that some people have too much while others can't get food on the table - I don't like war - I don't like lies, etc.

But I think the best way to fight for what I believe is true and good is to be the change I want to see in this world.

That's why I always do my best to act in a kind and productive way - it isn't always easy because none of us is perfect, and I can get angry sometimes when I see how the system and our politicians are lying to people, etc.

Same here, I may dislike certain things or people's behaviours but I don't have the hate gene.

If anyone ever feels they have no control over anything in this world, well we all have control over our individual actions and we can make small changes within our small scope of our world and with the people that come into our sphere.

For instance, I have been generously donating to The Salvation Army every Christimas each time I grocery shop, well my daughter just told me that that organization refuses to help LGBTQ families. I can tell you that I will donate to other organizations that help all people because even LGBTQ families have children that may need assistance and that fact should change any organization's way of doing things. Be better Salvation Army.

What else am I thinking about? Well I made homemade pseudo-Bailey's but after smelling both Jameson and Bushmill, I had to choose Jameson because it had the closest smell to actual Bailey's and it came out too choclately (next time only 2 tablespoons of Hershey's chocolate syrup) and way too boozy (next time only 1 3/4 cup whiskey) and maybe just a touch more almond extract. I will be making another bottle soon, more to my tastes but I made that bottle for my son, who knows he may like it that way.

Right now I am thinking about ingredient amounts to turn the Bushmill whiskey into a pseudo-Fireball concoction. I just ordered Indonesian cinnamon sticks and dried poblano peppers from Amazon for the heat and spice. It's both art and science getting these recipes just right.
