Idus Martiae: with the Vernal Equinox to follow shortly...

 









"The pope cited the case of a woman he met who was  pregnant with her eighth child after already [having had] seven Cesarean* sections. 'That is an irresponsibility!' , he said. The woman might argue that she should trust in God. 'But God gives you methods to be responsible', he added".




HAILING TO THE "C" ...


REMEMBER:  'a' before 'e'... especially after THIS 


CAESAREAN
                









· The classical Caesarean section involves a midline longitudinal incision which allows for a larger opening to deliver the baby. However, it is rarely performed today, as it is more prone to complications.



·         The lower uterine segment section is the procedure most commonly used today; it involves a transverse cut just above the edge of the bladder and results in less blood loss and is also easier to repair.
























Caesarean births from the archives of antiquity...


But this procedure is not without
its occasional complications...

A  Septic, Gangrenous, Wound...
(is) worse  than the Ides of March !!!


the Alleged birth of Julius Caesar was by
Caesarean section

IT'S NOT JUST RESTRICTED TO RED WHEELBARROWS , (DON'T 'CHA KNOW ?)

·     An objective correlative is a literary term referring to a symbolic article used to provide explicit, rather than implicit, access to such traditionally inexplicable concepts as emotion or color.
·     The most often cited 'objective correlative' of the poet is the red wheelbarrow glazed with rain.



Pursuant to the array of emotions portrayed above, let's start with 'SAD' correlatives and ultimately finish with 'HAPPY' ones:


...








ANGRY ...

FRIGHTENED...

SNEAKY...


...

















 FINALLY...WE GET TO
 " H-A-P-P-Y" ...




KNOW WHAT? How about blissful?

Now that's spending quality time between my two favorite states' "rhodies" !


My cherished rhododendrons: our Savannah residence (top) and a propos Michigan (bottom)





TWEET ALL YOU WANT: WE'RE [SO] ON TO YOU


The latest Tweets from Brandon Vandenburg (@Vandenburg85) contain this choice tidbit: "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man". 
Psalm 118:8.






























MY NOTE:  What this sad individual is doing (via his twitter communication) is commonly referred to as 'gas-lighting'. The latter is a technique employed by narcissists and sociopaths to fool you into second guessing yourself. I've been the recipient of such deceit myself and its nothing short of horrendous.




That said, this former Vanderbilt student is an addict of the "good times"... his (prior) acts thus demand both forfeiture and steep fines.






He worships at the shrine of power ... as do almost all narcissists and sociopaths...






Taking 'depravity' as his main course 
Now, he must slither down his high horse...




Don't be in denial of your past deeds, young man;
Plus, you've sharpened your OWN dirty knife 
Now awaits the sentencing phase...
(Good God, what you've done with your life !!)
