Add-Mired, to your list of Desperate measures.

If it's not one thing...It's one thing to be tired, a common feeling word, we can all relate to, on many of occasion. It's a whole other set of circumstances to be "mired" as in "bogged down", like you're just trudging through it. Like when we watched a few movies recently, experienced these stronger-than-average feelings words...well at least we experienced this drudgery of an existence, by watching actors posing as the ones who back then, experienced this muddy existence in reality. Which is sort of the point of this post, my reporting to you, as I do from time-to-time, about not only words that can expand your "emotional vocabulary" (or what's sometimes termed "EQ"), but also how these things get so-called reported...

"As he was saying" As in within 90 seconds (no exaggeration, as I'm actually reporting to you on facts and letting you decide...) the "correspondent" this AM, "reporting" on the "dire" circumstances from a land far, far away (the name of which will be withheld to protect their privacy, in case you are tempted to reach out, with good intentions)..."It's a desperate situation...you must be feeling desperate...they're getting desperately short on...as they remain mired in such strongly disparate positions, caught in the middle of this civil war" So, how would you feel, if you were the one getting interviewed...more like provoked, wouldn't you say...? Hardly a time to prey on someone's weaknesses, in my opinion. But I'm just sayin'...

How are you really feeling?" After all this hype on how you are, supposedly, with all the reporters reporting on your feelings...are you, like me, feeling just a bit weary, leery, wishing they would just "stick the facts, just the facts..." Would be a welcome departure, from these dire circumstances they tell us we are in...

Oh, by the way, today is, in fact, the last day for filing your tax return...how RU feeling now...?

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
