Confused? You’ve come to the right place.
Confused? You’re not alone.
Confused? How could we NOT be confused?

- my own thoughts and feelings,
- other people’s thoughts and feelings, and
- so much more.
Confused by any of these photos?
Yesterday, I was confused and delighted when my walks to and from work started and ended with two versions of the same song.
I hope the staff at cardiac rehab isn’t confused when I’m steppin’ out there at 7:30 this morning.
No matter how confused or confusing I am, I won’t forget to thank all those who helped me create this post and you — of course! — for visiting this confused cat, today.
No confusion regarding how much I enjoy your blog and the music of Joe Jackson. I do get a little confused though when my wife tells me I’m worth having around because I never fail to untangle a blob of her jewelry, and there have been many blobs. I guess we all have some value to humanity. Good luck with re-hab.
You have value to me, Ray — no confusion there.
Protect the Press indeed, Ann.
Here’s something I check everyday to ease my confusion. Note the recent addition under the Masthead.
Thanks for checking and protecting, Mark.
Confusion…”believe half of what you see, none of what you hear.” ?????
I was so confused, I didn’t realize that Benjamin Franklin said that centuries before this song:
Wisdom…through the ages.
Wow, that’s some confusingly tangled jewelry! I hang my two necklaces that are on chains from a little hand towel rack that sits on the bathroom counter. Did you ever get them separated?
I hang several necklaces separately, Sunny, but I wanted to wear the black cat pendant yesterday. Unfortunately, that’s been confusingly tangled up with several other necklaces for years. I did extricate one necklace from that confused jumble, but not the one I wanted. Maybe I’ll unconfuse and detangle the rest of them this weekend. Thanks for the non-confusing comment
I am confused by several of your photos. Why is the jewellery tangled? Whose is it? What was on track 4 at 9:48 in the morning? Why are there 2 similar photos of noodles?
But I am quite happy to be confused and to make up my own explanations. Hope you have a not-too-confusing day.
Maureen,
1. Jewelry gets tangled.
2. It’s mine.
3. One of the pieces from the “100 classics” collection was playing. I’m too confused to remember which one.
4. I often take more than one photo of something.
I am quite happy you commented and I hope my explanations are not too confusing.
Thank you!
I am never confused. I prefer to think of myself as perplexed, which puts quite a bit more responsibility on the world for how I feel. In recent months, I am daily dumbfounded by the state of things and, if I can summon the courage, bemused. Most all the time I feel mystified.
I don’t think you are ever really confused either, Ann. You are just negatively capable! Remember, as Mark Twain said, god only created Man because he was disappointed in the monkey.
You are infinitely capable and dumbfoundingly wonderful, Marcia.
I was briefly confused by the word “irromible” which at first I thought was like Edward Lear’s “runcible”, but I checked and it’s a perfectly cromulent Spanish word.
Now I’m confused over what the Spanish for “cromulent” might be, but that’s the beauty of language.
Christopher, Google Translate happily supplies “cromulento” when you type “cromument” into its English-Spanish translator. The power of machine learning!
Thank you for these beautifully cromulent comments.
Confusion is the norm for human civilization.
Your comments are above the norm, Maria.
I am confused by the state of your tangled necklace which looks quite similar to your dinner! Hope you managed the untangle!
I’m so glad you noticed the similarity! You help me manage my daily confusion, Lisa.
Confusion is growing by leaps and bounds these days. Information overload makes my head feel like your necklace … lol.
I often feel like my necklaces, too! Thanks for the clarity of your comment.
I love the creative way you set up the posts I have read!
I love this creative comment!
I’m confused. How do you untangle those necklaces and that spaghetti?
There are so many tangles, Derrick! Thanks for being confused with me.
