I knew one of us had to do this

I just applied for Phil to get health insurance.  Major accomplishment.  It took about an hour, all online, quite easy.  I went thru ehealth, and our household income qualifies for a tax credit, for an individual plan at $70 per month premiums, $20 doc visits and prescriptions. But they will also first see if he can get Medicaid, which I'm thinking is going to happen. He's still out of work, and if he gets on Medicaid, he'll have to stay under $1300 a month if or when he does go back to work. This is one huge worry I'm taking care of, and we'll be notified by mail with a week or two.  My point of contact is Iowa Health Link. Yay. 

Guts (a poem just now. read when ready)

Guts I went to get my bearings, hang-ups risen by degrees and the polished sky perfectfully breakable as fine china, releasing a deep knawing of being, undelivered again, and getting out, really getting it all out, without delay. Everyone could no longer handle a trying at open spaces, demanding a curb to excessives, a sign to obey, and a  mind to stop thinking, stop ticking, stop charming. I'll slip.  Falling is easy when you've stood too long for something, throwing shadows and dead limbs. I take it double with a condition.  Triple with a heart. Alright, that's all I have to say.  I've always been loud. s.grutz  

a little bit on Free Sheri!

At this point, doing online activism should be the way to go during this pandemic, but I'm thinking of getting signatures in person, just be on the spot, and take any heat. Anyone, anywhere, can fight for me simply by using the slogan, Free Sheri!  a wrongfully blacklisted woman in rural America.

Good news!

I'm going back to work.  Full time light industrial packaging.  Pays good, hope I can handle wearing a mask all day.  Have to.  Have to stick it out.  Instant money for us.

a bit on Joni Ernst

If the television commercials are right, Joni Ernst has voted time and again against pre-existing conditions for health care and services. It may or may not mean that she doesn't have a heart, but rather, works to erase everything Obama has done by following Trump's words of "winning" and any other Repub who aligns with "Us vs. Them" so the innocent are caught in this crossfire. You can't even imagine how many times I've written to her over my daughter's CF, and what wasn't there, until Obamacare. Huge disappointment that my voice went nowhere.

How to write a poem #6

sit, stare, or move, up to you.  Get that first line down right away, and don't lose it. You could start one sharp line, short, then build your next lines. I used to go short, then long, distress signal, but even all short, or, all long are good. Trust yourself.  Best to not know anything, not even really try, just open. You could make a tidy poem by coming back and fitting the premise you established into the end. Determine your language to be uncommon to daily speech, and fitting to poetry. Don't use heavy, big words, but use it like practical math. Good luck.  Do it!

Me thinks you think too much!

I'm still this little girl.

et, too, babe? oh fuck.

1-800-273-8255. National Suicide Prevention Hotline. Is it just me, why'd you hang up on me 3 times. (don't you get it Sheri, you're all Glam Rock, you're not death break bones and stuff rock. Do we really gotta talk to her.) fuckers.

Yep.

Huh!

from Live 2

The end of love There are dark nights in the town that run out of exits, running out of patience, especially with nothing on the shelves but books, when we couldn’t grow anything but cold. Something grows tired on vines and low trees and it always looks like bruises, wondering if I’m still good. You and I had a few choice words, a few delectable moments, what I did my rain dance to, “Good Life” by Inner City, and really stomping out grapes, really loosening the soil. I wasn’t made for gardens. I wasn’t made to wash my breasts like tomatoes. There is the good dirt that came from blood and knew my name was in a bucket like an abundance of words would feed someone all season. Where were you? I danced until the time ran out and we saw the body cutting itself on the teeth of wild nights. There in the dark, you were those seeds we fed the birds from shadows that ruined what we grew, the birds taking off like

Tonight, few words.

The Suspect Target has been captive of their own audience, their own engagement of daily life against a large current of misshaping the reality of what the person thinks, dreams, or imagines themselves to be. It is designed to make use of a human puppet into a scheme of oppression that takes whole the world they're living in, forcing an attempt of making sense on a graph of the power unaccountable. Lifetime attempts. The body record. The indisputable.

it has been known somewhere in my personal history that I went to them over combined forces of remote abuse knowingly ignored and subjegated on innocent citizens. The surveillance issues perpetrated against a targeted individual have superseded the American way of life, belief, or action to perform a lasting impact for the good of humanity.

You have got to read this.

  Brain functions that can be activated remotely include: -The so - called Voice-to-skull (voices in the brain or* synthetic telepathy *) through the auditory cortex; -Brain Imaging ( producing images directly into the brain , and generating vivid dreams); -Mental pain (brain shocks, sensation of electric shock and electric current in the body); -Production of physical pain from brain electrical stimulation (toothache, muscle pain, stomach pain, etc.); -Production of sparkling lights ( phosphenes ) and production of phantom presence sensations by activating the left temporoparietal junction; -The Heart (can be paralyzed, delayed or accelerated by the adequate stimulation of certain cortical and subcortical structures); -Respiratory movements (rhythm and amplitude can be controlled remotely); -Secretion and gastric motility ; -Mental Functions (thought flow, language control, aggressiveness); -Sensory Functions (listening to sounds and seeing images produced by the target brain through

I forgot to tell the nurse a few things

blogging or on Facebook, I'm leaving out words, unintentionally. if I don't go back and reread it, it won't make any sense. also, drop dead tired all the time. almost fell in the bathroom today.  taking the OTC every morning. you know, Phil, and my mom, they think I'm risen emotionally because of beer drinking.  No one realizes that I break. It's been up to 26 years of surveillance targeting, so the breaks I have, could be artificially induced.  If it's Scary Sheri, then I guess I'll have to accept that.  But remember, I'm not to blame for any of this.

Monarch target.

when you realize it continues to all go wrong

you just said 10 dollars an hour. your ad said 12 dollars an hour. "no it just got raised from 9 dollars an hour." So, basically you don't care about economic variances in the market, and tell us to just accept. There is nothing in this job, but a pay check. hello? There's no aesthetic. hmm. I'd hire those with a felony.

hmmm.

Dollar General, DeWitt Iowa, kid walks right in front me shopping, nothing. "Well excuse you!" nothing. check out, kids wanting toys, screaming, kids screaming behind me, obese mother with 3 obese kids going on and on with cashier. "Really?" "yeah really." "no sack, no receipt." Jesus, why do I love the poor? listen up Sheri, you didn't have another kid, and every Christian now will make you pay for your sins! oh fuck it. "When did you turn into a grumpy old man, Sheri." hmm, it happens.   listen up, Sheri! it's a market. the guy said it. They'll pay you for character development. oh shit. Edit or delete this Like  ·  Reply  ·  11m Sheri Grutz   they'll pay you for getting their kids in line, for being thin, for financial services.

I really see how this grew. I like. Art Beacon Des Moines.

Interesting advertisement placement

Since I just became a Sustaining Member of NPR morning edition, I'm hearing today, an ad or a plug from the local broadcaster for Midwest Basement Repair:  "we will make your house clean, and healthy."  it's that word, 'healthy' that got to me.  Sheri has never given us a picture of health.  Fuck off.

also, sz.com doesn't realize what it does to my mental health

also,  sz.com  doesn't realize what it does to my mental health when they delete and remove me so often, and this, hopefully is my last. I'm schizophrenic too, and still struggle with thoughts that I'm a bad person, all imaginary made up lifelong emotional tagging thru this surveillance. I'm not dwelling on suicide, but I worry a spontaneous response to another wrong against me. and if I don't stop sleeping these days and nights away, I'm never getting my life back on many different levels. just drop dead tired. nurse coming this Thursday, really wanted a psych nurse, but probably not. will ask about this dizziness, sleeping, and weight loss.

Mothers, when your 18 year old son is diagnosed with schizophrenia

Stop being a control freak. Suggest him working on a farm, or in landscaping. Get a new family pet, and let your son live with you. Realize he will sleep. a lot. Make it his responsiblity to take his meds and get to doc appts. he is not a broken person, he is carrying this like a soldier. Respect! Don't start correcting him, blaming him, and being like you're the total normal person. Take inventory of yourself! Be an example of what you hope he will be, but realize, he may not. Let him make mistakes. Take the good with the bad, and remember, he may not see the future.

check this out on sz.com, ha!

"Dont comment on my post again squirrel your a sarcastic condescending ass wipe ive seen your comments for months your a troll dont comment again." Yeah, totally true about Mr. Squirrel,but Daze saying it would have automatic suspension! This guy is still on there.

One more time to get it out of my system, and piss people off...

Well, you better be pissed.  "This doesn't need to be posted a second time, Sheri.  I'm trying to be respectful to you."  Well don't hurt yourself. They have taken everything from me!  Don't you fucking get it!

I've got a current new kind of activism

Typically plays, are plays.  They are One Act plays, or longer. I would have no idea how many people have written 10-minute plays, the way I have, or that I even stopped calling them that and went with 'sketches' which could have been skits, especially things I was acting out as a child. I have posted openly about all of the genres and target audience of writing I have done, and I'm proud of how vast and varied it all is, starting just with poetry, and really growing beyond my wildest dreams. One place I have talked about it is on sz.com.  I have no proof of what another woman on there has tried copying from me, but she has already mentioned her "10-minute plays, and sketches" her exact words.  I called her out on this to say that this is too close for comfort for me, and I was suspended for 3 days. Then I posted just the other day, my birthday pic, and she posted her pic on my thread saying she looks and is a lot like me. Well, I took this one

Summer swings (today's brief poem)

Summer swings The catch phrase is chased beyond getting like an additional home run to a big lead or a cutting into distance with a day grip Discoveries are made in water already reaching a point of changing the last to the first when details are in between There's someone who says it's everywhere if you're in the thick of it and read so well like a favorite season meant to be finished I had a history unearthed for the world they will put in a museum and never use s.grutz

NPR/Marketplace

I went out yesterday early evening, and I had NPR playing on the car radio, and the Marketplace report was talking with a woman who mentioned something about her 'job reputation', which sounded a lot like advice, or criticism against me. These people are still acclimating this tragedy of mind control/surveillance torture into, "It's no big deal," they've become so used to seeing and hearing and watching me, that they miss the greater reasons why my life is so difficult, and that their involvement is partially to blame, and then that I'm just like anyone else, and THIS is, is you and everyone that becomes a part of your surveillance is just how they keep the heartbeat of America. oh fuck.  I'm never getting out of this.  It's been clear since the beginning.

This is not waiting (poem for today)

This is not waiting The replacement of energy was an idea before truth. Someone thought, no matter if it's good or not, we are the source of connections. We make use of what they do, burning as they do, we make the sight for sore eyes seem like nothing. When the clock itself is an engine. Stalled, side-tracked, wild words are growing little face or hands in the telling. Bitter roots or bending to reach a deep down day pressed, as a lull takes over a radiance speaking of working hours, collecting a  last minute survival in various lengths. There is a wall unbuilt to fit capacity of free thoughts in or about each part of what symptoms show, detectives arrest the eager one worn in the wind, dry eyes caught in the act of confusion. This is not waiting.  This is locked land. And someone opened minds to this. s.grutz    

I should have made this list at age 18.

Counter-questions for new employer: Will there be a man or woman working here who will intentionally or unintentionally not want my presence at this job either because of image or persona I present during working hours, or online that will prevent me from doing my job? Will I get protection from any person or gov, slander or intentional harassment that creates an unhealthy environment to work in? Will these inter-personal problems be heard and addressed by H.R. in this company, resolved, and not lead to any kind of action that will diminish the desire to work hard, feel appreciated, or seen as a person who does not get along with people? (dreaming, Sheri)

My response to another person on Messenger

certainly you must know that your contacts don't want to hear this, a chain message. I've done it one or two times to my contacts, and my lover said, No way. Usually I only do them to make the sender feel better that I have. I Don't Know You. for instance, you never respond to my posts. I don't see yours. Please don't mistake me for someone who would take heed to this message.

Once..

Once, Phil thought I was paying for gas at Kwik Star, and I thought he was paying at the pump. It was never paid. The next day when he went in, they said he didn't pay. How cool is that? yeah, we owe stock in this company, they had better treat us good.

My Review of Rudy's Tacos

My review of Rudy's Tacos in the East Village, lunch today. We weren't greeted when we came in, and I had to ask a young woman who seemed to be working there, talking to a couple of people casually at a booth, if they were open. They were open, and the place was lovely in decor, slightly rustic, with light American music playing. Phil choose a far corner booth, cushioned and spacious, easy to get in and out of, but we found out we were sitting right by the take-out window, the only people we saw with masks on. The waitress brought us regular menus, not disposable kind, and we decided quickly. They did not give chips and salsa. I ordered the Southwestern Chicken Salad, and Phil got a combo meal. My came on a beautifully designed big plate, and Phil's came on about 3 separate smaller, slightly boring plates. Food came in about 10 minutes from ordering. His did not come with enchilada sauce. The only thing that came in a bottle was the hot sauce, the red ketchup kind of bottle

Deoge new grooming today.

quote from stackexchange:

There is no strict cut-off point. In most cases, ten people is not really a crowd. But 100 people usually is. The conceptual difference is when you stop noticing the individuals and only see the group. But this is not a rule of English. If you consider other languages that you know, you will notice that words like "crowd" are not (usually) defined exactly as a particular number

I just ordered these (among other things) thru Target

Unbleached coffee filters. I can’t find them anywhere in my town. I used to use them all the time, after reading that the bleached kind CAN do a number on those with depression.

I made cake yesterday. it's yummy.

Sometimes people must think,

Sometimes people must think, It's understandable, Sheri, that you got pd. sz, you have two disabled kids, a single mom, a difficult life. I really don't think it works like that. but it is one reason why they give us a check. to get us out of absolute poverty.
