When children are growing and in their formative years, vocabularies for them are also growing. My son would sometimes say to me he was “flustrated”. I would try to correct him and tell him the word was frustrated. He would reply ‘no I’m not just frustrated but also flustered’! My idea of being flustrated is being flummoxed (unable to understand) and frustrated (distress annoyance), especially because of an inability to change or achieve something. I have two recurring themes that are driving me lately on the internet. First is the questioner of the financial expert, any so-called expert “my house is paid off and I have 4 million dollars is that enough “? Spare me – how did this genius acquire that circumstance? I’ve got to assume by a gift or inheritance. Secondly the TV show 60 minutes is now repeating shows about which they have aired the same facts but different places and different people. Mass shootings need not talk about the number of dead and the weapons used but who by name actually are stopping change. Name the Senators name the Representatives! Explain to the public what they can do to force change and how to get it done. Make news reporting different than other on-air programing.
I too am going a bit round and round with this blog so I will stop producing it until at least after the elections in November. With as much as there is at stake in this election I only want to say: VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!
