Even though I’m getting more and more comfortable with gardening, Daddy is always watching over my shoulder.
Whenever I’m working with the plants, he usually says something like…
“Add a little bit of this!”
“Add a little more of that!”
OR
“Not too much!
“That’s enough!”
“Put it over there.”
“Move it over here.”
“You don’t need to do that.”
“Look here bae, do it like this.”
And when I get it just right, he reassures me with a super sweet …
“There ya go!”
I’ve lived my entire life anticipating those words when I’m in the midst of learning new things from Daddy.
If you listen VERY CLOSELY, you can hear him say that to me in previous videos 🙂
Anyway, today, I made more room for my spinach by replanting my rosemary and basil.
Best believe Daddy’s right there watching every step.
Enjoy the video and note that the voice-over near the end is not necessarily synced with the plants that are shown at the time.
I wrote this in 2016 but it’s even more relevant today.
I know this lady who was raised in a very depraved environment. She, her mother and her siblings were treated as if they were the private property of her ‘father.’
This young lady had been worked, raped and nearly beaten to death. She was not allowed to go to school so she never learned to read.
Throughout her teen years, her ‘father,’ who had been her main abuser, gave his friends permission to violate her in any number of ways. As a result, she gave birth to six children; each with a different man. Her father sent several of the children away because he said that it wasn’t his responsibility to feed them.
Sadly, the young lady was never told of their whereabouts. Before long, she and her remaining children suffered the same fate.
This young lady, who had nothing but the clothes on her back and three children in tow, did…

Cooking metaphors for gardening? That’s so Lady G!
Bonus: Me watching for fireflies. Unfortunately, you might not be able to see them flash because they go so fast, but at least you can enjoy the sounds of the crickets chirping on a beautiful Southern night 🙂
Happy Father’s Day Daddy! Thanks for being a great DAD! Love you!

Come along as Lady G rambles and sings off-key to a few of her favorite dusties!
Don’t know what dusties are?
Dusties are little known songs from a bygone era.
Anyway…
Never one to miss an opportunity to introduce thoughts that take unexpected twists and turns, LadyG gives you a plethora of non sequiturs along with loud Southern mama laughter !
But isn’t that what a ramble is supposed to be about?
Unscripted foolishness in 3rd person 🙂
Enjoy!

This week, the cousins discuss:
“What Time Is It?” written by Ron’s Father, Fletcher Brown, around 1974.
Sadly, it touches on themes that are still very relevant today.
The Devil.
ANYONE who knows me knows that I used to joke about Facebook being THE DEVIL.
I joked that because I believed it encouraged stalking, lying, jealousy, narcissism and the like.
Don’t get me wrong, I know that Facebook is useful for people who want to keep in touch, raise awareness or distribute important information.
But, sometimes, I wonder if the bad outweighs the good.
Peep this…
When I was in Seattle visiting one of my oldest and dearest friends, we watched a documentary about how a certain political campaign, using a group called Cambridge Analytica, commandeered Facebook to target certain populations with false ads, confusion and other disinformation.
The goal?
To sway them politically and influence voting.
The old scare the shit out of ’em, depress ’em, or piss ’em off strategy!
Timeless!
Sadly, it worked!
Quite a few folks fell prey because they believed what they read.
Hell, they made the ads look and sound convincing enough.
So, for instance, some ads were used to scare people to the polls and other ads were used to make people feel so discouraged and dismissed that they would opt not to vote—they weren’t even trying to get some of these folks to vote for someone else, they were, in fact, trying to get them not to vote at all.
And this was all served up on a nice platter of Facebook!
Currently, the informed public is fully aware of this fuckery, as evidenced by this testimony.
But for those who still need a bit more convincing, check out this article which details the whole evil plot.
Which brings me to my original point…
Who enjoys engaging in evil plots?
Wait for it…
The Devil!
Just kidding…
Hmm…
Now, far be it from me to give you a problem without offering a solution.
That would be RUDE!
LOL!
Here’s the solution to “turn off” political ads on Facebook.
Just click past any pop-up windows in the article.
Frankly, there’s no reason to believe that they won’t start the same shit again this election year.
So, I urge you to turn these ads off for YOUR peace and for the goodness of us all!
We can’t take another four years of this INSANITY!
A VERY special year!
