I knew you were wondering...I bet...

I was gleefully surprised that my monosyllabic expressions are not as simplistic as one may think…did you know that, really? Sure you did, why aren’t we all full of ourselves, hmm?

Huh is an expression of surprise or disdain: used to show surprise, inquiry, disdain, or lack of interest, an invitation to agree used to invite comment, especially agreement, after an expressed opinion, as in “ Great shot, huh?”

The Canadian connection, which may interest some of us…
Eh, (1) (interjection)
Eh [ ay, e] (formal)
1. pardon me?

2. what?

3. isn’t that so?

agree with it or confirm that it is correct or accurately sums up a previous
statement
4. aren’t you with me?

Are you still also learning the language of your birthright?
No, well I am.
Yep, I am proud to be an American! And the more I learn the more I know I don’t know, but isn’t that the American way?
You see, but dang, I am still not sure from whence they all came from; in other words, ha, their derivations.
What I hope I mean is from where and why they made their way into our American vintage verbiage their origin their genealogy of whom they actually are, got that?
Don’t we all have some type of pedigree or history of our family, yes some of us are mutts. Which I say lovingly to the world since as my cousins look closely into our history of us it appears more and more that we are from many eastern European countries not just the one that grandpa used to say and so according to the standards of who knows who that would make us all mutts, huh?
But let’s not forget all beautiful in our own way…unique individuals why that applies to everyone, doesn’t it?

Sadly, I feel at times that I get complacent in my journey of trying to get to know more, have you ever felt that way?
It’s not that I ever think I know it all; I do realize at times I may come across that way, but no I never if I live to be one hundred will know everything, no one will!
That’s why as caretakers of this earth I feel so responsible to attain some knowledge while I remain, and you? How do you feel about that aspect of your responsibility?

As I have said before I have way too much time on my hands…to ponder things…
Many which I have mentioned here.


Like...
Why a man who is so ill robs a bank for one dollar to get arrested so he will have proper medical care because he was at his wits end on what to do and this was his only idea to get what he rightfully needed?
Why a young woman dies in her car in a busy shopping center parking lot because the police have their hands tied and no one is nosy enough to check the car there for days and nights at a time?
Why does a woman have to plant her dead husband’s body in her garden due to not having enough to pay for a funeral and needing his social security checks to survive and dies before she is found out and is discovered by her mail carrier…?
Why a terminally ill ninety-five year old women in a wheel chair is asked to remove her adult diaper at an airport, what’s with that?

We live in the greatest country in the world is how I always think of 'our' America but sometimes I just wonder why… and I bet you do too… some things are just beyond our control, but should they be? I think we should all wonder why.

On that thought to ponder prior to our nations and my birth weekend let me please be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
