Another day in Paradise!

Posted byTime Traveler of LifePosted inUncategorized

Well, not quite paradise, but living in a rural community in Kingman, Arizona, our little piece of land with our home, held together with love and determination.

Life would be grander if the interest rate were just two percentage points lower. To all the Mortgage Companies, I was a Realtor and can see right through your attempts to get us to refi! And a HELOC is a credit card secured by our minimal equity in our castle. Without a rate reduction, the only one that makes $$ is you! All of your offers are filed in my circular file. Thank you, Rocket Mortgage, for selling my name to EVERY MORTGAGE BROKERAGE in the God Dammed world!

My next rant is in regards to the current supply of representatives that we voted for in the silly hopes that they would give a damn about our welfare after they were elected! Really? Do you not get a salary? So, what is the donation that you are begging for that will do for me? Can you not do anything until my little $10? donation, gets into your tiny, greasy grippers? Additionally, could you please let me know why you don’t allow comments from us? The hundreds of solicitations daily from EVERY person ANYWHERE in the US are clogging my mailbox and they cannot be unsubscribed!

And please do not continue to try to make me believe that you “need 10,000 signatures by Midnight to prove the American people will fight extremism every step of the way.” Why do you need money to sue the president? Sue away! He has done it for years and NEVER pays the attorneys, and they keep coming back again and again.

My final rant is about the packaging of everyday items. I understand that you must keep them closed so that they reach their designated place on the store’s shelf thousands of miles away. But do you have to use glue to seal them so that they would pass inspection in space? How about the instruction printed in English or translated and large enough for human eyes? Add pill bottles to this rant! Is it really necessary to put those large capsules in a tiny bottle to keep the pills fresh? Many times they get stuck and to get them out you have to empty the bottle! Not fun! Enough!

Just a reminder! My books are published by Draft2Digital and are destributed to: Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Everand, Smashwords, Tolino OverDrive, bibliotheca, Baker & Taylor, BorrowBox, Hoopla, Vivlio, Palace  Marketplace, Odilo, Gardners, Amazon or on http://www.brendacolbathbooks.com

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day, and we’ll talk again soon.

Biography Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die. I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect? Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing. My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda. Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated. I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.” I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class. After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome. I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.
