Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
Oh, what's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
Right on, baby
Right on, baby
Right on
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What's going on (What's going on)
Yeah, what's going on (What's going on)
Tell me what's going on (What's going on)
I'll tell you, what's going on (What's going on)
Right on, baby, right on
Right on, baby
Right on, baby, right on

C.: What’s wrong, d.c., you look a little frustrated.
d.: I am, Cal.E. I’ve had the same ad for my book, “ Precision; A Crime of Passion; The Original Magruder Mystery” for the last ten months. Now, it “does not meet the criteria” for Meta, Facebook's parent company.
C.: Why would they say that after it’s been on Facebook for the last ten months?
d.: IDK, Cal.E. The only thing I can believe is that the management of the ads changed. Much like my nursing job, sometimes these jobs are occupied by people who have no real experience in the area they are in charge of.
As I have stated before in this blog, the best professors and instructors I had in nursing school and college were the ones who were still working at “normal jobs.” These people knew, from experience, what would really work in the “real world” and what didn’t. Knowing what doesn’t work in reality can be life-saving in my profession. Wasting time with an outdated or unrealistic technique can cost someone his or her life in healthcare. It is best to learn, I believe, from those who have experience in a clinical setting, not just reading words in a book.
C.: So, what do you plan to do, d.c.?
d.: For the most part, nothing. I advertise my book on other social media outlets, as well as on websites for newspapers and television stations. I know that I’m not the only one that this happened to from reading other author’s posts on Facebook. I must believe there is some kind of glitch in their system now that is spitting out false data. I hope that problem will be solved soon. Otherwise, I will spend the money I have invested in advertising with other social media outlets and websites. I can’t reason what changed when my ad. has been approved for the last ten months, but strange things do happen.
C.: Well, if you want to drown your sorrows in some of my fine specialty drink, just let me know. The first drink is “on the house.” After that, I will need to start charging for my “Beet Juice and Ground Catnip” drink.
d.: Thanks, Cal.E,, but I’m working at The Kennel all weekend. I must keep my wits about me in case of an emergency. I will talk to you tomorrow, right here on Cal.E.’s Corner.
