Food for thought, or not

Saying something profound sounds so self important, ya know?
Being liberal has no longer taken on the hippy look, have ya noticed?
We as Americans have been yelling, "I am as mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore!", but is anyone listening? NETWORK movie, circa 1976: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(film)
Some days?
Why are some rainy days romantic at times and at other times they are scary?
Have you ever noticed that people who think they aren't judgmental are?
Here's one for the ages, how can shrimp be colossal?
Threw that one is a joke, an oxymoron.
Okay where did the word, "shrimp" come from then?
Or any words for that matter?
Oh I do understand derivations and all that, but what made German, Latin, and French words end up in our English dictionaries and why didn't they ever use our English or our American words, no originality, really?
Now we tell our children that the sky is blue due to its reflection off of water, but lots of sky is not over water and is still blue, huh?
And not to throw a wrench into the whole concept, but many waterways today are brown and green and red due to sediment, so how come the sky still appears blue?
Gray I get due to clouds, but blue?
Why do people get so upset about not having enough certain types of weather, like too little rain, or complain about it being too hot, or too cold to only realize later that the weather has/will/always does change and eventually comes back to one type of weather that you prefer?
Human nature, but what really is HUMAN NATURE?
I do know that we are all human, but due to environment or nurturing we all react to similar situations in different ways at times, no two people will be able to understand all adverse circumstances in the same way, why?
And how can we disclaim those reactions as human nature?
Horrific actions of violent behavior is never considered "HUMAN NATURE", although concurrent acts of similar behaviors have been noted in medical literature, so cannot negative dangerous bad behavior also be considered, Human Nature? (Hope not.)
Why is home-made sometimes better than store bought, and sometimes vise versa?
It is inevitable that people react to certain news items in different ways, and that I believe has to do with nurture vs. nature and politically taught by ingraining those ideals in their brains, not that much different than hate or love, understanding, compassion, prejudice or bullying, ya think?
I believe that to be true, although changeable throughout life with the realization that some ways are better than others presumably with entitlements form peer groups or not so much.
Decency is set by example, or is it?
Can the worse of us grow up in horrible situations and pull ourselves from them?
YES! But not always.
 And the best situations have the worst results on some adults? But not always.
Life has no rhyme or reason, at times.
So questions are always good, not always, and is it better to think than act at times too?
Evasiveness is acceptable in some social circles, and in some cases thought to be polite or rude?
Balance in conversations is a delicate social grace that at this mature age I still have not yet learned.

Just some things to think about I hope.

Get back to me, whenever you have no or some time to discuss or remain silent about this, whichever is better for you or me.

Happy good night or not.
This is wishy washy or not.
Next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
Or not... PLEASE THOUGH!
I enjoy your feedback, silence so very much, ha.

PS Moving on...

Great rainy day TV on Netflix ...I have been watching season 2 of Stranger Things, enjoying it as I know everyone else is too... also watching The Mist, that I had started before that, from Stephen King, almost decided not to watch it when the first credits rolled due to it being a Weinstein Production, but I succumbed to my better judgement and watched it anyway for the actors sake and entertainment value with the thought he no longer will be profiting from it, and he has been stopped in his tracks from this while being accused of allegedly of horrid sexual harassment of nearly seventy women, and even three or more counts of rape! In my opinion it sounds true to me. Horrible, but why should the actors lose out because of him?

Earlier today the adjuster came he was here to check our home for damage from Hurricane Irma, we determined prior to his visit that our  minimal damage that we repaired already, the sofits and the gates locks were below our deductible of 2K. But then the garage door has some dings and doesn't go down right, wind they determined and he checked our roof and he said it has some edge damage that might be able to be just repaired or might need to be replaced, and the electric down on the dock that blew off was also considered hurricane related... I had thought it was turning the bunks related, but no. Hubby admitted they were falling off when we returned from our evacuation!
So who knows what will happen now, I thought we were a definite denial, but just needed to contact them for the hotel reimbursement? More food for thought, hmm?  A can of worms.
