Who pulled the plug?

 Delayed Shock

Silver Trauma

Glad all over
What happened a few minutes ago, I can only think is the adrenilin from the accident being drained. It felt as if somebody had pulled a lig out, and a wave flooded out.
I wonder if there is a medical condition which stops me from panicking at the sight of blood? My Middlesbrough t-shirt, and my trousers were covered in blood, and I had a bad gash over my eye, yet, there was no sense of panic.

Miranda Lambert

 Country Music

Reba McEntire

Loretta Lynn
YouTube
These videos demonstrate what I like, and dislike about modern Country Music.
In the top one, Carrie Underwood sings well, but she dressed like Barbie. In the bottom, what can I say about The Judds, they hardly samg, mama looks like a chipmunk, and Wynonna's tan is so bad it reminds me of Ross in a Friends episode.
I never liked Dolly Parton, not for how she portrayed herself, in the 60's it was hard for a lady to be seen as other than a back-up singer, unless you listen to the Carter family. Dolly had to become what she did, to get away from being seen as Porter Waggoner's bavk-up, I admire her for breaking free. The major female singers were Kitty Wells, and Patsy Cline at that time. Two of my least favourite recordings are Crazy, sung by Patsy Cline, and Jolene by DP. 
Dolly had the same issue as Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, and many singers, when they stretch for high notes, their accent grates.
There is a wondeful crossover series called CMT, where artists from various styles join in songs, my favourite combo is Martina McBride, and Pat Benatar, what a combo!!!!!! Two attractive ladies, and two wonderful voices.


What do I find offensive?

 Media lies about Israel

Granny Site UK

I am no Prude
What I find offensive, personally, is ladies like those on Granny Site UK, who show everything online. That has nothing to do with their age, or how attractive I view them, I think images of ladies in the nude, should be kept private. The same goes for men, that is why they only partially- undressed images of me, are head and shoulders shots. 
This explains why I am populatronline, as I am not expressing my sexauality as the focus, I rely more on respect and personality. If a lady gets to know me, and sees me as attractive, that is a bouus.

On a general level, what I find offensive is the constant media war with Israel. They didn't start the wars, they didn't go killing the people in Gaza, for no reason, as Palestine does.
The people of Gaza chose help from Palestine in 1978, this allowed Palestine, and Hamas to se the area as a missile silo. What the media omit, among many things, is Hamas use "soft targets" such as schools, and civillian sites to hide in, then blame Isreal for killing civilians, If you HIDE in a civillian area, don't go crying to the United Nations when some get killed by a state defending itself.
Another aspect of the war with religion, is that while the media chase Isreal for killing Muslims in Gaza, Thousands of Christians are massacred each month in Africa, and nobody hears about that. Israel has killed less than 10% of that in all the wars in the Middle East, but that doesn't matter, Israel sells papers, Africa does not.

What defines offensive?

Gaza

Media lies about Israel
I support Israel with no reason based in politics, or religion. I support Israel to attempt to reach people to explain, wh would the smallest nation in the Middle East wish to start a war with much larger, better armed, and more media supportedI agree some of m images taken last week at haospital could be seen as offensive, and be blocked from Twitter, but what about the constant posts blaming Israel for the deaths in Gaza?
I have explained dozens of times, Israel did NOT cause the conflict, the state is defending itself from attacks based in Gaza, and funded from within Palestine.
Consider this.
In 1948, Israel was begging countries for aid to defend herself, while the Arab states were being funded from Russia. In 1978, Gaza was given the choice, get aid from Israel, or Palestine, Palestine was their choice, over time, that could have been changed, but nothing happened.
Israel has buit a state with an earned reputation, while Gaza, and Palestine with far more aid have established terrorist cells.

Why haven't I left Twitter?
I can't tell you what made me stay using Twitter, other than it does promote the blog with some degree of success.
It isn't as if I am an influencer who people look for, I am getting a lot of readers who support Reform UK checking me out this week, which is amusing as I usually slam Nigel Farage as a fake

Reba McEntire

 Reba tv series 

Comedy

Deep Space 9
I am very grateful for uplaoding YouTube Premium, I can watch the comedy series Reba featuring singer Reba McEntire.
If you watch series from the USA, you may recognise the younger daughter, she is Scarlett Pomers who played Naomi Wildman in Star Trek Deep Space 9.
I recognised another actress from a US comedy series I enjoyed during the first series, Park Overall, who payed nurse Laverne in Empty Nest.
To continue the link, the father in Empty Nest is actor Richard Mulligan, who appeared in the series Soap
I hope to buy the series for my birthday this month.

Delayed Shock

 It could be concussion 

The Shockwave

Damage Control
I think the delayed shock of my accident is becoming evident now, when I stand, I need to pause for a second or two to get my balance. This isn't only being a senior citizen catching his breath, I can feel my heart racing, and I have an almost constant headache, not serious, but there
