But For How Long (POEM)

But For How Long
David S. Nicholson
Feb 7, 2015

 Long and twisted desert road.
Faded photo with burned edges.
Clown that smiles and cries inside.
Voice screaming, fractured and tormented.
Desire to be happy and the reality creeping in.
Pain of the flesh hides the pain inside.
Distant memories so like yesterday.
Waters run for wild to calm.
The sun warms my face.
Flowers, not sand beside me.
Happy once again, but for how long?

HOW TO MAKE ONEDRIVE MEMORIES FROM THIS DAY GO AWAY

Image
Memories from this day is yet another super annoying thing from OneDrive. Remember it making hundreds of albums you did not ask it to do or wanted? Well this is like that - yet another feature almost no one will want. Go to your phones settings, then apps then click OneDrive. Last, click "Memories from this day" to turn it the hell off and make it leave you alone. Honest to GOD if this pile of storage space did not come with my Office 365 subscription I'd uninstall OneDrive and never use the dang thing. But since I want the storage space - I use it. BTW I'd kind of LOVE it to have a dark theme, but then again I been wanting that on Facebook for Android for a very long time.

A Puzzle and an Old Photo

Image
308 pieces and 34 minutes. About average for me. This was a fun one to do. I see in the same folder there is a couple other puzzles with boats. I like boats, but have rarely been on one.  A photo from a building that had been renovated quite a lot since this photo was taken. I was amazed how much money they put into it, but was told there was a change in the bylaw to make it imposable to tare it down and build a new one.

 The Creeping Flesh (1973) 9/10 A scientist discovers a giant skeleton and finds the flesh will grow back if water is spilled on it. He then becomes convinced that it’s the origin of evil and that evil is a disease of the blood.

In Facebook Jail Again

Image
I should not have to say this, but there are people eating livestock deworming drugs, so here it goes. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, THIS IS SATIRICAL COMEDY, DON'T TAKE A COMEDIC POST AS MEDICAL ADVICE. There, did I make it clear enough? Anyway. Facebook tossed me in jail for 3 days for posting the thing you see below. You know, after a year and a half of letting people post the same stupidity as real. I appealed and lost almost instantly. I have no doubt in my mind that it was NOT looked at by a human. A moderator would not have gotten to it in literally 10 seconds, so this is doubly bullshit. Anyway, here is my strike and the offending post.
