This is my post for #freewriters 2476 prompt so much cruelty hosted by @ mariannewest

I should change my name to @myhusbandsjob since I no longer have a job unless you want to call pulling weeds a job and there is only so much I can write about pulling weeds. Today while pulling them I ran into an area of well rooted in weeds and had to use both hands to get them loose. Now my bad hand is hurting pretty bad. It has been getting worse but I still can not bring myself to have the surgery, having 3 bones taken out is not sitting well with me but I do not know how much longer I can deal with the pain.

My husband fished today, or I should say he tried to fish. He set his bait traps in the area where he caught bait last week and only caught 14 bait. He pulled all of them and moved to a different area and caught 7 more. He went to Moo Moo island where he saw grass last week and set them again. This time while they sat he fished Moo Moo and with the 21 bait he had, he caught 9 legal trout and several that were under sized. He only had 2 bait left so he went to run the traps, he pulled all of them for only 2 more bait, so he put them all in his boat and was home by 11:30.

Have you ever wondered why there is so much cruelty in the world? Why are so many people so unhappy that they want to make others unhappy, too? My town has a FB page and every day several people are downright mean to others. They do not know each other but feel the need to belittle them. Then there are the people who find they have to say something nasty to you if you are not in the same political party as they are. Why do they feel the need to cut someone down because they do not think the same as you? All they need to do is scroll on by. When I see posts I do not like, I do not read them.

You still have employment though ... leaving a record of life on Hive with one good hand is harder than most of us are working!

Scroll on by is much needed wisdom today ...

I can't believe I used to keep up with the weeds and fish and now the weeds take all my time.
