PLEASE NO LECTURES about how there should be a comma between “PLEASE” and “NO” in today’s title and on the button I made for a client and for myself.
PLEASE NO LECTURES about all capital letters, also.
PLEASE NO LECTURES about my hesitancy to respond to what I experience as lectures on Twitter with a photo of my PLEASE NO LECTURES button. PLEASE NO LECTURES about my similar hesitancy to call out mansplaining.
PLEASE NO LECTURES. My harsh inner critic gives me way too many lectures already. I’m not going to give a lecture about the harsh inner critic because I suspect you probably know about it.
PLEASE NO LECTURES about my images for today.

PLEASE NO LECTURES about the National Days or about this Presidential joke:
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “PLEASE NO LECTURES.”
Thanks to all who helped me create this PLEASE NO LECTURES post, including you!
When I was walking around my neighborhood on trash and recycling Tuesday, I noticed several throwaways:
I took that throwaway shot of my favorite building in the neighborhood because demolition trucks were parked outside, and I’m afraid it’s going to become a throwaway.
Last night, I asked this question on Twitter:
.
Personally, I would never throw away
books,
musical instruments,
confidential documents (without shredding them first),
interesting architecture,
my values,
people, and
cats.
Because I’m trying to throw away a few pounds, I saved part of that latest culinary masterpiece by Michael for today’s lunch.
… inspired me to ask a question on Twitter last night about making a difference.
That question is getting fewer responses than my last questions of the day usually do, but I still hope it’s making a difference, even if it’s a small one.
It actually doesn’t make a difference to me what level of engagement my questions have on Twitter but it does pique my curiosity: Why is that question having a different level of responses? My best guess is that my Twitter followers are modest and unsure about the differences they are making. My work as a group therapist (which is how I would have answered my own question about making a difference) has taught me that people often make a difference well beyond their awareness.
Are any of my images today making a difference?
I’m relieved that the delicious ricotta gnocchi with pesto sauce from my favorite local Italian restaurant is not making a difference in my weight loss goal. We’ll see if the National Days for August 7 will be making a difference for anyone.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “making a difference.”
I’m someone who really asks a lot of questions, but I don’t think I’ve ever asked, “Who are you really?”
Who asked that question is Michael A. Singer, who I really like.
Who am I really is someone who probably DOES ask the question “Who are you really?” but not in those exact words. I think that’s what I was asking last night on Twitter:
Who are you really? Are you someone who wants to see my other images for today?
Who is the Daily Bitch really?
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “who are you really?”
Several of the timeless lyrics had to do with time, including “Time in a Bottle” and “Yesterday.” I guess time is timeless.
While writing this “Timeless” post, I am very aware of the passage of time, and it’s exactly one year since we drove to Maine to pick up our shelter cat Joan and bring her home.
What’s timeless in my other images for today?
I just spent $20 dollars on a harness and leash for Joan so she can spend time outdoors. I hope she enjoys it.
I look forward to your timeless comments, below, and timeless thanks to all who take the time to visit this blog, including YOU!
