NOTE FROM THE TSC:
Dear Fellerettes and Fellers,
I know that you are probably wondering...what the had happened to Taylor Swift talk?
My answer is...it is here...it always has been...and it will always be.
I don't display all my souvenirs...I don't do much talking about her.
I do a lot of worrying about her...selling her freedom...putting herself in a vulnerable position.
As much as she tries to keep herself on the ground...friends...it is just impossible...at her level.
She is handling fame so smoothly...she is surrounded by god people...I just said God...I'll leave it as is.
Taylor recently looked to buy a castle near the folks of her beau....whats his name?
She did this once before with her splash pad in Rhode Island....hey...she is winning in the real estate game too.
The foundation she is building is one that will last for eons...how long is an eon anyway?
She is overloaded with money and trophy's...and good looks and a good heart...
I think that she actually believes that her friends are really her friends...maybe they are.
Maybe she will beat all the odds and not fall off the tight rope...I certainly hope and pray so.

Michael, There are so very many reasons why I adore you. The last time my cell phone died, I decided I was just going to buy a cheapie one and price shopped online...as well as reading the reviews of people who owned the different phones. Ended up with a no contract phone even though we have a family cell plan and I just love it. One of the features on this phone, since it's a no contract phone, is that it can't download anything that would eat up your cell minutes without asking you first. I'm telling you Michael, my other phone was always doing something in the background and this phone just isn't. I love that. Someday I might get rid of our cell phones but for now it's not really practical. Our families are long distance and I spend a lot of time on the phone with them. Most of them aren't online so communicating that way doesn't work out. Actually, some of our phone conversations are me searching online for things they need and don't have access too. I'm the shopper for all those hard to find needs that go with long term health issues. Which makes sense since I'm going to be paying for it too. Plus whatever else research they need but don't have access too. Plus the money stuff. I've been doing my families income taxes....parents, sister, nieces, nephews, their girlfriends/guys...son and his friends...as well as ours ....for decades. Spend a lot of time on the phone with my family long distance. They are my peeps. I think it's really cool that you have a gaming computer with awesome sound and a huge screen. Sure is easier on the eyes. I've adjusted my type size up and up over the years on my computer. My vision is completely corrected with glasses...don't want to give the impression that I have any problems because I don't....but my vision has long been so bad that without glasses I'd be legally blind. I truly appreciate being able to see and having the tools to see well. The irony is, that while I drag my feet on the cloud and having automatic downloads to my cell phone, hubby is a computer geek. It's what he's done all the decades we've been marrid and what he was getting his bachelor's degree in while we were dating. Recently we were talking about the federal data breach where all the folks with security clearances had their personal information stolen. I was reading an article that detailed the specific things the auditors had nailed them on before the breach and how they hadn't been addressed. When you get down to the nuts and bolts of it Michael, there's a disconnect between the reality of running a mainframe (which is what hubby has long done though he is also a Certified Network Engineer and has a B.S. in Computer Science) and what vendors put out. In the case of the federal data breach though, they were stupid....they didn't have any inside security worth diddly once the outer perimeter was breached. You can't tell me that the cloud is even remotely secure. Everytime we turn around now there's another article of this retailer or that retailer getting hacked...Target, Home Depot...a whole bunch more. And they, supposedly, were somewhat invested in security. That said, I like to choose what I spent our money on and that whole thing of we'll give you so much free cloud storage and then charge you a monthly fee to store your stuff...noodles to that. I don't even want to pay for cable tv (now that we have Netflix), much less for something as boring as data storage. But then again, I'm a fan of decluttering. If I can't fit what I own into a reasonable space in my own home environment, then I don't really need to own it. I pretty much always have a pile of stuff that needs to go to the donation box every month. There's a drop box just a mile down the road which is really handy. It's on my way to the library.

Now that is a beautiful castle.
I don't really follow who Taylor's friends are in general. Along the way, I've read Lena Dunham saying she and Taylor were friends and she's in the Bad Blood video with her. Can't say I'm impressed with Lena but then again, when you hang out with a group of people, in your 20's, there are some people in the group you are really close with and others who other people in the group are really close with. It's just the nature of having a large group of friends. Who can really say who each of the people in a group are really close too except the people themselves?
I should probably add that Lena has long standing mental health issues (which she talks about publicly) and Taylor, being Taylor, would likely take that into account for some of Lena's actions.

To be fair, Lena telling her own story about her mental health issues.
....that said, Lena has flat out lied about being raped. That's entirely separate from having OCD.
I'll also add that hubby's family has members who struggle with mental illness. One person was obsessive compulsive. One person is bi-polar. Another person was schizophrenic. There's a reason our son chose mental health as a career. He wanted to help others.
What I'm saying, slowly in my usual way, is that I understand mental health issues are tough. To me that's not an excuse for lying about something so major it can destroy another person's life. Mental health is mental health. Manipulation and intentional lying are manipulation and intentional lying.

Totally agree with you, Nash. At her core, I'm certain she's still the same person, but I've had growing concerns about the group of friends or people she's associated with since the genre jump, specifically. In that, it's like her whole crowd/scene has morphed these days and I'm not sure their intent and hers always match up (if that makes any sense? I mean this whole Pop world seems different from the Country world she's used to) I'm afraid she's going to get led into some type of trap and be hurt in some way. When you get as big as she's gotten, even if you're careful.. it seems that it's impossible to protect yourself/be protected by others in the same ways she could before. It especially scares me when all the sudden she's seen with people like Kanye West *who's never had any interest in her, so you wonder why now? All in all, everything together just gives me a bad feeling. However, I'm sure *or let's hope* that she still has a few genuine good people around her that constantly look out for her with a pure heart and not with their own agendas. May the angels look after her and her family, each and every day.

Michael, There are so very many reasons why I adore you. Jo your post was so awesome that I would like to store it in the cloud to reread and reread again. Long live the cloud!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just doing some math...in my head...not on some machine...or calculator gadget. I figure just that Jo and Jeff can write so beautifully and poetically next to my chicken scratch- They may never know how much I adore them...but I do + love = we are equal in all ways. Now tell me...how can any machine compute that equation?

I used to use this line in years of yore..."I could build a castle with all the rocks you throw." Don't know how or where I heard that line...probably from dad.
Lena seems to be one of those people that doesn't change for the camera...she is who she is.
Though lets face it...she probably wasn't disciplined right...probably from a mother who didn't know the difference either.
I suppose that their is no proper edicate anymore...no more eating at the table...no more proper attire...no more manners.
HA...all of this coming from a guy who would rather swing from grapevines to the coconut tree for dinner!

This is a topic that needs to be discussed further Jeffery.
I suppose that some folks... like Taylor...are just drawn to good people...kinda like us I suppose.
Even in her country days she had good friends...she helped them and they helped her...the way it should be.
As you know...many of her friends only want face time with her...but I think Taylor knows who is sincere or not.
I believe that she knows who her real friends are...it is us my friend...the fans.
The multitudes of fans that have her back... are her friends...that is pretty cool!
Time to get with it...catch up later.

I think Windows 10 is a whole lot better than Windows 8 ever was. I hadn't heard anything about Taylor and Kanye but since my daily reading is the Wall Street Journal, that's not unusual. I honestly don't know much about Kanye other than he's married to a Kardashian (couldn't tell you which one) and he did the thing to Taylor at the music awards. Which was wrong but Bey, in her usual nice girl way, tried to make it right when she gave Taylor her time to speak when she won another award at the same show. Kanye had been touring with Jay-Z (at that time) and who knows what he thought....help a brother out by standing up for his wife...maybe....no matter what was in his mind, he was off stealing Taylor's moment and the world told him that. Including Beyonce, right there when she gave Taylor her time.

Wow...I have a learning curve for 10...I upgraded from windows 7...it is getting better though.
I guess I will miss the concerts in Denver...oh well...it is too crowded anyway...not to mention the expense.
I'll just wait until she makes the Southern states...I know she likes Tulsa...can't see her missing that city.
Anyway ...kinda bummed and at the same time a bit relieved!
Now the pieces are fitting together...Taylor hanging out with Jay- Z...at after parties.
I am sure there will be a duet in the making...heck that is the least that Taylor can do for Kanye.
That debacle by Kanye cemented Taylor into stratosphere status...I just bet cha that something is in the works..

Michael, I bet you are onto something....a duet with Jay-z would be awesome. Beyoncé would be great too. Beyonce is famously known for how nice she is. If that's who Taylor is friends with now, she is in good company. Jeff, waving hi
