God Save the Queens

BY WILLIAM B., CONTRIBUTOR VENDOR

Back when I was younger I remember Queen Elizabeth. I’m gonna say she was spectacular in her form. She really was a spectacular lady. I watched her when I grew up. She was in movies! One short film with James Bond, and in a scene with Paddington Bear.

To me, she was a generous lady. I’ve known her over the years by watching her on TV and she gives. I think she gave money to the United States when we needed it. I think in the '50s.

She was a very loving lady to her family. Her family meant the world to her. It broke her heart when her grandson Harry and his wife Meghan left the business. I’m gonna say the business because it is a business but also a gift they inherited. That really broke her heart.

I think when they left that changed her a lot. I think she did love Meghan and she loved her grandkid. And now they’ve got two, right?

She even believes in second chances for people. I know this for a fact because look what she done when we had our war years and years ago. The British came to OUR aid and they didn’t have to do that. The queen had that done.

I would have loved to meet her in person. I believe I could put a smile on her face. By singing if nothing else. I believe she loved music of all kinds. She loved animals. She had all those dogs. I can’t have a pet, and I miss that.

We lost an amazing woman when we lost Queen Elizabeth.

I want to add two other ladies we lost in the last few months that meant a lot to me. We lost an amazing singer that I met when I was a child in the hospital I was in — Loretta Lynn. My favorite Loretta Lynn song is "Don’t Come Home a Drinkin.’" She did good gospel too. Certain songs she couldn’t sing while being filmed because she would cry. I can relate to that.

Another great lady we just lost was Angela Lansbury. I watched her on many, many movies and she was a great lady. She was in Beauty and the Beast! I watched her in Murder She Wrote. She had more gifts than Carter had liver pills! An older person my age will get that joke. You could also say she had more gifts than Quaker has oatmeal. I should have said grits. I love grits.

We also lost a few actors and singers during the pandemic. Makes me think, I must be getting old! But at times I don’t feel my age. I feel like a young teenager. Because I won’t stay at home. Getting out and staying active is what’s going to keep me alive. I have some operations coming up, but I’m gonna fight to get where I need to go. I’m not a person who can sit at home and give up, I was in the boxing ring at five years old. That’s how I broke my nose. But that’s a story for another time.

A Key To Life Is Qualification(s)

BY MAURICE B., CONTRIBUTOR VENDOR

Do you have or are you able to meet certain qualifications? One can speak on their experiences of flying, but can they truly fly? No one can tell someone how to fly a plane if they've never been in the cockpit.

The same goes with many other aspects of life, whereas yes instructions are given on how to do many tasks in life, but the explanations of the hardships that come along with it are never pointed out. Being a single individual and sharing the topic of prosperous and productive family life is just a person's observance of what they could fathom because there are so many different circumstances that occur in life. There are so many changes or ways to go about being productive that not one person knows all the answers to what makes "The productive family life."

If a couple has been together since the 7th grade, then married when they got older and is now in their 60s and has never looked or touched another individual since they have been married, they know a lot but can still only share their experiences of how they made it. They can’t know all the other possibilities on how relationships can be.

Most likely every individual takes the notions of their childhood life experiences from home and moves forward. They can be good or bad, but they move on trying to make do with what they've experienced. Then some run into some kind of harsh experiences as youngsters at home and things just don't add up. Therefore they are not able to understand how to weather the storm that they find themselves going through, and the actions of love are found out where they can find it.

Sometimes the streets are showing them "artificial love." The streets love no soul, but they fall deeper into the search for that feeling of being cared for which covers up the hardship that they experienced. Then the acceptance of being in or out on the streets seems to be an ongoing motive. The motive that one received from the beginning of the party is the major motive that one continues in their later life. The party is the lime life of how to continue to cover up the possible structure of responsibilities in and of living. To be at a party is to have fun without any cares, an aspect that can and will grow on many. Because living a responsible life brings about times of boredom or situations of hardship and bad memories that are disliked.

People must be focused on how to overcome and override many issues. Being responsible means that there is a structure that was normally formulated or instilled in a person from an adolescent age, but during that age, the mind is developing and processing so much that the time of remembrance is mainly focused on the good.

When one thinks of life being a party and wanting the party to endure forever, the party becomes all about enjoying one's self depending on the degree of that individual's desire/qualifications. On the other hand, when dealing with the principle of structure it's observed that the factor of responsibilities lay within the resources that one is involved with. When one thinks of life as a game or a business then all playas go at it or treat it just as such.

Many individuals who treat life as a game of eating and eating greedily spend their time getting more of whatever it is what it's all about, and by any means necessary. When one has many responsibilities then the weight is upon one's shoulders whenever one hasn't adapted to the concept of having a lot of material things in life but refused to downsize to their qualifications.

Participants who are eating greedy sympathize with it because their simple analogy is to receive more only to meet their qualification. Is that wrong or is that right? With the equation being a negative and positive being all of what controls life that it takes a neutral to balance things out, therefore in some aspects it's wrong and in some aspects it's right, but because it takes both to make most things equal then any person should find out what they qualify for towards all circumstances and situations in and on this life's plane .
