Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  Old age is rebelling against my physical body. Campers, a more correct statement would be … “Becoming mature is your mind’s attempt at applying the emergency braking system on the out of control rollercoaster   your physical self   has been forced to ride” In my case my calendar age is 69. My personality is at an age that is best described as “ childish “, at best. “Physically, my body claims that my total disregard of the Golden Rule “My body is a Temple” . Because neglect accelerated my aging, I am presently   the unproud owner of an abused eighty-five year old body. So, Campers … “What do I wish I could do more every day?” “Walk” I absolutely beyond any doubt very much enjoy walking “ Ruffles  & Pringles”, my beautiful Chorkie,  same litter sisters. No destination . No hesitation. Walks for recreation. Definite and final answer … “WALK” “Pringles on the left and Ruffles on the right. “

  Home from a day of testing at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. So far all the results for the cancer show I am still in remission. However, I have many post treatment complications. Today’s appointment showed something serious is going on with my trachea air way. I have had it for six years now. They weren’t meant to be “ permanent ”. I had asked for them to remove me it. They are saying it is best to see what is going on before removing it . Removing it is easy. Due to the tissue damage from the radiation and my having it for over six years now it may be impossible to put back in. That would certainly be a disaster because I would have to be on a respirator for the remainder of my life. I agree to doing a full work up before making such a tough decision. I have full confidence in my treatment team.  (After all, Princess Margaret is a world renowned treatment centre. ) So, I will be getting every type of scan there is and a complete investigation of my airway and throat. The...

Trump saying that he will “ take ” Cuba and that he can do “ whatever he wants ” should be proof enough that he is a danger to world peace. Not to mention that the statement itself is a  “Declaration of War”. I do not recall the Congress of the United States agreeing to his starting another war. HAVEN’T THE CUBAN PEOPLE SUFFERED ENOUGH FROM THE STATES FIFTY YEAR OLD EMARGO THAT HAS KEPT THEM TRAPPED IN POVERTY? The citizens of the States need to grow some balls and impeach Trump and ALL his inner circle of corrupt thieves. When he is finally dethroned it will be very interesting to see how much he and his inner circle have stolen from the American taxpayers. Guaranteed it will be an enormous amount and it will be in unrecoverable crypto currency. (“Trump coins “, no doubt! ) He claims he doesn’t take his salary. (Which is the one and only truth he has ever spoken.) He doesn’t need his salary. He and his corrupt Cartel are raking in billions with slippery under the table deals, outr...

  Does the majestic butterfly remember being the catapiller? A magical metamorphic transformation takes place within every cell of what was once a catapiller. It’s transformation protected by the enameled shell of it’s Chrysalis. It’s existence as the catapiller is erased from existence. Or is it? Cell by cell the caterpillar dissipates into a genetic metamorphic soup. Powers beyond our understanding rearrange and rewrite every cell with the instructions of how to become the butterfly. It  was  a catapiller . What it is at this stage is known only to itself. The process a marvel of nature. A process we are incapable of comprehending. One crawling worm-like creature enters a cocoon and a beautiful coloured flying piece of art emerges. “ The marvel of Nature’s Beauty “ Marvel’s such as this stimulate my pnuerosynoptic pathways. Expanding my thought process into the darkest least used areas of my subconscious mind. Those shadowy areas of the mind that are seldom used in ever...

  Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Definitely a dog! No doubt at all! I am Blessed with having a calming affect around all animals – dogs, cats, rabbits, coyotes, opossum – you name it I can calm and pat it. My family and friends call me a “ creature teacher ” or an “ animal whisperer “. Perhaps it is because during my nomadic youth I often lived in the deep forest or worked on farms to make money to live. In the forest I could approach most any animal I came across. I have patted many white tailed deers, raccoons, rabbits and one very special time I spent a half hour with an Ocelot. I didn’t get to touch her but we shared my lunch and had a talk. Whether in the wild or in the confines of a farm, I very much enjoyed being amongst the various animals. I have always had a dog and cat. I has a Chihuahua named “ Leo The Blunder Dog “. I rescued Leo from a crack House when he was very young. Leo bit me ten times a day, but rarely left my side. I never did figure out w...

Dear Dann, I believe we may have found your sanity! Remember you lost it in 1969 after doing those 2 tabs of Double Orange Barrel LSD? Well, if you take a deep dive into the mind of your invisible friend and check his underwear drawer I believe that you may locate it hidden in the diary of your other personality. Your invisible friend has kept it safe all these years. (Even your other personality had no clue your invisible friend was in possession of it.) We apologize to all three of us. Also, do not forget that we have pre-planned your senility! Your scripted lines are easily found within the windmills of our minds. I almost forgot … I wanted to apologize for the spontaneous bowel movement on the rush hour bus the other day. (Thankfully most of the riders were all getting off the bus at the next stop.) I believe that the only people who knew that smell was emanating from you was the bus driver and the tall dude talking to his foot. I shall contact you again when the doctors take that ...

  MARCH 8, 2026 LIGHTHOUSE DANN This is Melania Trump’s Rump at some ‘ Epstein ‘ guy’s house. (It’s on an Island somewhere.) Honest, she barely knows him! (She was only there to polish this pole.) And perhaps give “ Donald”  a go. Which she did. And now and now, well now, SHE IS THE FIRST LADY! A testament of hope to pole dancers everywhere. SHE IS ONE CLASS ACT!

  This antisemitism against the synagogues here in Ontario is wrong! There are many types of Judaism. The Jews living here are not the “ Jews  ” living in Israel. I don’t recognize any Israeli as “ Jewish ” – my opinion of them is that they are fake Jews who are using Judaism to conceal their Zionist acts of terrorism.l THERE IS NO PLACE IN CANADIAN SOCIETY FOR VIOLENCE TOWARDS YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN. We Canadians do not roll like that. That hatred you are feeling is “ ANTI-ISRAELISM ” – not antisemitism! IT IS ISRAEL, WITH THE STATES SUPPORT, WHO ARE RAPING AND MAIMING INNOCENT CIVILIANS. IT IS ISRAEL AND THE STATES WHO ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO START WORLD WAR THREE! Not a Canadian Rabbi teaching brotherly love to his congregants. Please stop these attacks against your fellow Canadians! IT IS ISRAEL WHO ARE SLAUGHTERING INNOCENT CIVILIANS, MOSTLY CHILDREN. IT IS ISRAEL’S TERRORIST IDF FORCES THAT TAKE PRIDE IN KILLING UNARMED CIVILIANS, USE CHILDREN FOR TARGET PRACTICE AND RAP...

  What is the last thing you learned? Is this a trick question? I have yet to have learned my ‘last’ thing. I am alive. The last thing we all will learn is, “This is going to be a bummer.” Then we die, Campers. However …. If the question is focused on what the last thing learned in the ‘academic’ sense was, which I believe was the asker’s intention, then the response should be academic. Earlier today I was watching a documentary about the history of building the railways in North America. Campers, I am glad that today’s Daily Prompt has given me the opportunity to share an extremely interesting, informative and important piece of North America’s recorded history with you. Something I think we should demand that Trump and all his Administration sit and watch. Campers, this blew me away … “The four major railways being built required an enormous work force. Lumberjacks and road builders to clear the path for the tracks, track layers to lay the rails, surveyors, architects, business l...
