If you have never known heart pounding desperation for your safety …. never had bombs going off around you … and never known the hopelessness of seeing a plane fly into the sky, leaving you on the ground … then count your blessings … and remember those in Afghanistan.
You may think you are fooling someone … but in the end you may be the one who is the fool!
The satisfying feeling of looking at organized cupboards … if only you could do it once and have it stay that way!

The satisfying feeling of finally killing that gnat that has been buzzing around my office all day.

LOL! Well glad to know you did something satisfying today, but…..Poor gnat, how do you think its poor Grandma will feel when it doesn’t show up at her place.

Do not weep for this gnat. He/she had it coming and it was not likely to find a mate and live a productive life in my office anyhow.
And for the record, when I find a lizard that has wandered into my house, I gently gather it up and put it in the flower bed outside. So it can kill gnats!!!

Oh gosh! I see I should kept quiet about your cold killing of the poor gnat, but no worries, I didn’t shed any tears over the gnat! I don’t weep for the ones I kill either or the flies. I had the satisfaction of killing a fly yesterday.
Lizards in your house? Oh yeah, you live in Texas. 🙂

I’ll bet you’re happy to kill flies, as that provides ingredients for your favorite pie recipe.

Those Afghans are standing in a ditch filled with sewage, and which yesterday was filled with bodies, just so they can get on a plane and get the hell out of their own country, and come to the USA. I feel sad for them, and the horror they’re going through. But it also leaves me feeling grateful that I live in such a great country as the USA.

There is something insidious about cupboards and pantries who somehow manage to rearrange themselves. Perhaps this is proof of evil fairies. 😉

I am fortunate to live in the USA . . . even if it’s not perfect.
And I am happy to report that our pantry/cupboards/fridge/closets are organized enough to be satisfying! Most of the time.

Joy, nicely done. Your reference to “fool” in the second story reminded of a very short story in yesterday’s crossword. The answer to the clue is the final word.
