Maria got a photo of Bud in his barn tower where he goes to get out of the rain. He loves snow but doesn’t care for rain. I see that Maria put a pillow on the hay bales so he could be high up and keep his butt and belly dry and cozy. He is pleased up there.
Today, I got a peek at Maria’s almost finished “Meditation Tree” Wall Hanging.
It’s one of her most creative and striking creations; it is not done yet and not yet on sale. If anyone is interested in it, they can e-mail her at [email protected]. I love this one.
She says she has more work to do. The circle on the bottom represents an energy field. She gave a blue sky to this one.
It’s not a quilt or a potholder but a hanging piece. I almost hope no one buys it (shame on me) so it can hang on the wall here. That is not likely.
And I know she wants to sell it to someone other than me. She loves it most when her work enters the world to brighten someone else’s life or home.
Your constant mixing up of Bud and Zip is a clear indication of cognitive decline. You do it much too frequently to excuse it as a minor slip. Please mention it to your doctor. Anti-dementia medication can help.
🤣
No, it’s not cognitive decline! Jon’s got dyslexia, both Bud and Zip are 3 letter words, and both Zip and Bud are black and white (and small, compared to all the other animals). They are very similar in those ways and I can see how the two names are a bit interchangeable while he is writing. Lighten up!
OMG I can’t believe someone wrote this and thought you would find it a helpful piece of advice.
PERFECT response, Jon, to this moron named Peter.
Everyone is entitled to a mistake now & then. Especially us old folks.. You rock Jon. Mitsakes or not. LOL!
Dear God Peter!!!!!!!!
I found an enticing little book on eBay about George Washington’s rules for civility. This has tipped me off the fence in favor of buying it. I’m pretty sure there would be something about not ever getting so personal with someone you don’t know. Posts like this make me want to be a better person and be DAMN sure I don’t ever come across so hurtful or as such a presumptuous, posturing, pompous ass.
Thanks, Diane; people with learning issues and disabilities are familiar with the Peters of the world; we are taught to laugh at them and try never to give them the satisfaction of hurting us. Peter is cruel and assertively ignorant; I know the type all too well. I do have to laugh, although I used to cry. Nobody with Dementia could publish a blog daily and take flower photos, for better or worse. As Peter proves, there are far worse things to be than Dyslexic. Hey Peter. one can be demented and seem pretty healthy otherwise, as you demonstrate. For the record, I am 76, apart from being Dyslexic, and the only neural issue I’ve noticed is a loss of some short-term memory, which is disturbing to me but quite normal for someone my age, according to my doctor. I am all too functional, and I wish I couldn’t read messages like Peters, which I wouldn’t be able to do with Dementia.
I always feel the need to post messages like this so others (including me) can learn to be empathic to the millions of people with learning disorders. Shallow people will never grasp this, but others will, as you can see from these messages. So, thank you for responding. Among other things, the blog is a significant victory not only for my Dyslexia but also for my acceptance of aging. I’m not heading off to a condo in a warm place. People like Peter can hurt others and make them run and hide in shame for being different. He will fail with me. On top of anything else, people like Peter are cowards; he will run and hide when challenged, there is no response he really can make, and then he’ll go on and do it to somebody else.
I can handle it; it makes me feel good about what I have done. It’s also true that for dyslexics, the words Bud and Zap are mind-bending. Two creatures I often write about with the same three letters make me crazy but not ashamed. Peter, you are a poor excuse for a human. Get lost; please stay off my website. I love my life and have real work to do; You and your messages are a waste of time.
Thanks for the support, people. You remind me that most people have good hearts and much compassion.
Could not have been said better, Jon. And please know your blog is significant as well to countless others, for many reasons.
You are significant to me, Diane, thanks.
Parents get their kids names mixed up all the time…perfectly normal
Why can’t you just proofread?
Why do you think I don’t, Jane? You might want to read up on how Dyslexia works if your interested in it.As it happens, I do proofread and I also have an expensive proofreading software that makes more mistakes than I do. Beyond that, I don’t choose to spend all day proofreading, I’d rather be writing. I write a lot, as you might have noticed. I didn’t start the blog to proofread all day. And I don’t mind making mistakes,it’s just not important to me, and it’s rather human. My blog is quite successful. I’m not the New York Times. I hope that answers your question. If my blog makes you uneasy, than I have a question for you. Why are you reading i?
