blogging with training wheels

i have dyslexia /learning disabilities and never learned to type .writing has always been a challenge .having a blog without spell ck means writing it in gmail remembering to to hit save before i cut and paste-lost a lot of the first food bank blog that way.didn't have the heart to try to reconstruct it.

i have great conversations that folks say i should blog but mostly the take too many words to do them justice. so for now my commitment is to blog something,anything at least twice a week till it becomes a habit and less intimidating.then maybe i'll start saying more of what i really want to say.

food for thought

first friday senior mercy brown bag food bank

3 natural flavor purified water apple drink 0% juice lots a sugar

1 lb dry beans

1 can tomato paste

2 cans mixed vegetables does anyone ever wilfully buy these?

8 snack size butterfingers granola candy bars

1 box cereal 8 pk cinnamon candy sprinkles oatmeal

1 pk english muffins

1 partially rotted cabbage

5 apples

what more could a person want for the next tow weeks? protein?nutrition?

less survival

actually i first noticed this phenomena at the senior center lunch.the first time i went there i noticed when folks lined up for 2nd helping there was a men's line and a women's line. something i hadn't seen since grade school .i asked the women sitting next to me what that was about and she said it was because the men used to push the women out of the way

this says nothing about the impossibility of the frail elder of any gender having a chance to get more food.


want to say more,say it deeper,talk about it in relation to culture and social change.

ah well slowly, slowly bit by bit i hope i'll gain momentum.i know i'll never learn to spell.
and there doesn't seem to be a spell ck here.

so much to say so little energy

sooooo little energy -more one of these days -please stay tuned
