No, I will not go silently into the night. This involves my social security and healthcare. We all have preexisting conditions, especially the ones who have contracted Covid-19. If we lose our pension and our healthcare they might as well line us up against the wall and execute us all over a "certain age". Plus I don't like the turn this country has taken by giving the uber-rich and corporations permanent tax breaks but people on the lower pay scale a short term tax break. BTW those people not paying payroll taxes right now will have to pay them in April. I want a country that cares about every one of it's citizens and other people living in the country. America is great because of our diversity. I don't think the Founding Fathers agreed not to fight if their demands for a free and democratic society were not successful.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div class="_6c7i" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline-block; max-width: calc(100% - 22px); overflow-wrap: break-word; vertical-align: middle;"><div class="_680y" style="display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%; position: relative; vertical-align: middle;"><div class="_6cuy" style="flex: 1 1 auto; min-width: 0px; width: 416px;"><div><div class="_6qw3" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; border-radius: 18px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; position: relative; word-break: break-word;"><div class="_72vr" style="padding: 8px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">Plus I am ashamed of the heartlessness of our fellow citizens who see nothing wrong with caging children and separating them from their families.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div class="_6c7i" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline-block; max-width: calc(100% - 22px); overflow-wrap: break-word; vertical-align: middle;"><div class="_680y" style="display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%; position: relative; vertical-align: middle;"><div class="_6cuy" style="flex: 1 1 auto; min-width: 0px; width: 416px;"><div><div class="_6qw3" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; border-radius: 18px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; position: relative; word-break: break-word;"><div class="_72vr" style="padding: 8px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">Go ahead and delete me if you like but FYI everyone is getting ready for a civil war but it was fomented by the hate and vitriol of our dear leader.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div class="_6c7i" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline-block; max-width: calc(100% - 22px); overflow-wrap: break-word; vertical-align: middle;"><div class="_680y" style="display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%; position: relative; vertical-align: middle;"><div class="_6cuy" style="flex: 1 1 auto; min-width: 0px; width: 416px;"><div><div class="_6qw3" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; border-radius: 18px; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; position: relative; word-break: break-word;"><div style="padding: 8px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I was right. 2020 sux.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p>Miss Pambhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00925155431309819652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636206148855802897.post-86819153288327640352019-04-17T21:52:00.003-04:002019-09-18T14:33:47.598-04:00It Ain't What You Think<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was thinking about how the way things are labeled sounds like what they're not. That's why people are always confused about political terms. I know I always was when I went into the voting booth and tried to decipher exactly what I was voting for and if the wording meant what I thought it meant. It's important to get online and research each issue and candidate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One such example is The Right To Work State. That's total bullshit. It's actually the right to control workers and prevent unionization so workers can't have a vocal advocacy organization.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Georgia is a Right To Work state that has stamped out most unions in our community. Violence broke out and people were injured or killed for demanding higher wages and better working conditions decades ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another example being used to misinform people who aren't aware of the deeper issue is Religious Liberty. That's code talk for the base to unite and shun anyone who isn't of "our" religion. You know which one I'm talking about. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">People started this extremism and became divided when they turned their backs on an influx of immigrants into our communities. People who go to church every Sunday and raise their children to follow in their ways have turned on immigrants seeking a better life for themselves and their families.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "corbel" , "verdana" , sans-serif;">“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself ... " </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Leviticus 19:33-34</span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What really pisses me off is the fact that people are too ignorant to understand that the illegal immigrants migrated to our community in the 21st century because of corporations and to escape violence in their own countries. People are mad at brown people because they have flooded into our communities and send their kids to our schools and drive on our roads. They blame the immigrants for the rise in taxes and the cost of living and the fact that they aren't getting a raise again this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They don't realize that these people pay taxes into the system which is being funneled into our treasury every year to the tune of about twelve billion dollars a year. The illegal immigrants aren't ever able to access this money and if they are banned from entering America or living here, we will lose that much in taxes.<br /><br />Don't get me started on immigrants. Just like I figured, when they clamped down on illegal immigrants, people went underground, and now there is a severe shortage in the farming industry, causing farmers to lose millions of dollars in waste. Crops are left rotting in the fields.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When the economy was booming before the great recession, employers posted signs at the Mexican-American border advertising jobs in the carpet industry in north Georgia. Thousands of people flooded into the community working in various jobs. They raised their kids, and bought homes, in the belief that they would be setting down roots and become a vital part of the country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today, you can notice a change in the area. There are lots of stores with signs out front advertising to the Hispanic community all over Dalton and Calhoun but there are not as many people from South America as there used to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know of families who went back to their country voluntarily when their visas ran out. Their children had been raised in America and gone to school with American children and were fully assimilated. They faced a cultural shock when they went back to their parent's home country to live. A friend of mine, who told me about her friend and their family, said she got letters from them sometimes and the mother told her there weren't any stores nearby and it didn't matter anyway because nobody had any jobs or money to spend. It was heartbreaking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another family who came from England had to leave after their visas expired. They had established a business in America, which was very profitable, providing taxes which helped pay for government services but they still had to leave.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another friend told me about a lady who came to America years ago, long before the rift of today. She described her South American friend as beautiful, vivacious, and interesting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Georgia may be very much set in it's ways but we have visitors from all over the world and we used to have a reputation for great southern hospitality. I guess that was back when Christians really believed in following the good book and treating everybody with courtesy and respect. Well, not so much. We mustn't whitewash slavery in our attempt to honor our heritage and we must not accept the hateful racism of any race, color, or creed ever again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When religion, be it Christianity or any other religion, is used to control people and separate them, it is not a godly religion. God is Love. How can God be black, or brown, or yellow, or </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">white when he is omnipotent? How can God be love and yet hate anyone who's not a white Christian? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We can't afford to allow Religious Liberty to take control of America. That is an oxymoron. Either religion is </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">free for all</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, or it is state run. Our forefather's came to America to get away from that. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Donny was going to work one morning when a white work truck stopped in front of Valley Point School to turn in. There is lots of construction work going on because Valley Point is building a new school building. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Donny was sitting, waiting on the man to turn in, when a car </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">suddenly</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">hit him from behind. The impact was so unexpected that he took his foot off the brake and it rolled into the truck in front of him. Now both bumpers are dented and the tailgate looks bad. Fortunately, the guy's truck wasn't damaged because of his trailer hitch but the car that hit Donny was totaled.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The insurance company finally approved the repairs for Donny's truck. Donny asked me to meet him at the house around four o'clock so we could take the truck to the mechanic, Mr. Carroll, to get it fixed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had been at the Whitfield County courthouse this morning. Later I picked up my friend, Joann, and we went to the Cracker Barrel for a bowl of soup. She paid the bill and I paid the tip. That's how I know I had my wallet then. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Later we went to Walgreen's and while we were in line I got out to look for my pocketbook I had stuffed behind my seat. I needed my dark sunglasses because the sun was finally shining too brightly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I rushed home to meet Donny and we took his truck to Mr. Carroll's and started to go home but I remembered that Mamma said Donny could drive my daddy's truck while his was being fixed so we went on to Mamma's house to get the truck.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As luck would have it, it wouldn't start, so we called my son and got him to come help push the truck away from the carport so we could get close enough to boost the battery off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I went to the Walmart Neighborhood Market after that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I tried to find my wallet and tore my pocketbook apart and looked all around inside the truck but couldn't find it. Naturally, I got mad and started panicking and calling Joann to ask if she could remember where I had it last. She mentioned that I'd gotten out of the truck. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She drove around Walgreen's and I called them to see if anybody had turned it in. Joann even called the Cracker Barrel for me. Nobody knew anything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After about an hour I finally came home and looked for it even though I'd already got Donny to look for it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The phone rang and I answered it. Somebody said they were Officer Rittenhouse from the Dalton Police Department and wanted to talk to Pamela or </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Donny</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Strickland. I was excited and said "I'm Pamela Strickland. Did you find my billfold?"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She told me a nice 85 year old lady turned my wallet in to the police. I asked her where she found it and the lady said it was at the Walgreen's. The officer said I could come pick up my wallet at the police station.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I couldn't believe my good fortune. I offered Officer Rittenhouse a reward for the lady who turned my wallet in and she called the lady to tell her that I wanted to give her something but she said she was just glad she was able to help. Her name was Mrs. Manis. She has renewed my faith in people again. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There aren't enough stories about good people who do good deeds and I believe people like Mrs. Manis are few and far between. They deserve a special thanks and honor. Not everybody would be that honest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I took a cake decorating class one time and I learned to make some decent cakes. I even made some cakes for some </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of the people in my family for</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">their birthdays and some people ordered cakes from me. I finally realized I needed to take pictures of some of my cakes so I could have something to remember them by. I never did learn to make marzipan, much to my sorrow, but cake decorating is fun. Behind every cake is a story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a good thing I got the urge to start a fire in the goat pen today. I don't usually have urges like that. It's a good thing because it was daylight and I had time to try to figure out what to do. </span></div>

No I'm not.<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;">I'm sorry. Anyone who still supports Trump has to have been blind or just don't care. I do. I care about this country and the damage he and his cronies have done. I care that the election was corrupted and interfered with by an outside source, RUSSIA for God's sakes! I care that the Republicans are in a position to completely destroy social security, medicare and medicaid. I care that the representatives in Washington are not working in the best interests of our country and our people but are whores for corporate money. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;">I am not ashamed to say that I used to believe Nixon was our worst president until George W. Bush took us into two endless wars that helped destabilize the Middle East and created more enemies than allies. I really thought they had scraped the bottom of the barrel when John McCain picked Sarah Palin for a VP running mate. I won't even go into my feelings about HRH Ronald Reagan. But when the ELECTORAL COLLEGE defied their purpose and chose Donald Trump for president I saw a whole new level of ignorance and it all isn't on the Donald's shoulders. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;">I see it in his followers who don't care about women and children and elderly who will be affected by the changes his administration makes. I see it when his followers say nothing when people want to steal national lands and use them and leave them in ruins like our national parks and public lands. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;">I am sick of what Trump is allowed to do and I am on pins-and-needles waiting on Mueller to gather enough evidence to present to the courts to prove that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians in a money laundering scheme that spans nations across the world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;">I care when a man who is too stupid to try to understand his duties as the leader of the greatest country in the world, attacks our government and our laws and denigrates judges, lawmakers, news organizations, and constitutional scholars in an attempt to break the law and benefit from his office. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;">TRUMP IS A CONMAN AND I AM NOT FOOLED.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 17.42px;">Now, do what you will but I was really hoping you were beginning to see the light and realize Trump and the Republicans don't give two shits about you or me or anybody else unless they can steal from you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let me preface this with "I have never been mistaken for a Republican" </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay. This is getting better and better. The other day I had an experience at the hospital with one of my FB friends when she innocently whispered to me that she thought we were the only two Trump supporters in the waiting room, I was speechless. Well, not really. (You know me, right?) I looked around the waiting room and saw a bunch of elderly people and a family of Hispanic people. Hmm ... Believ<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">e me, not many people in Georgia are Democrats. We both had a good exchange and a few laughs with a stranger in the lobby. It wasn't contentious, just lively, if you know what I mean.</span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Later on, my mamma reminded me that her husband had written several letters to the editor in the local rag complaining about "takers" or whatever it is conservative, tight ass, privileged, white, males complain about. I don't take the Dalton paper, so I'd forgotten. It was enlightening but I still didn't regret complaining loudly about Republicans trying to take social security and medicare and medicaid from us.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
She asked me if I wanted the government to support us from the cradle to the grave and I said, "Hell, yeah. If they can afford to take us into two wars they sure as hell can afford to feed people and give them healthcare!" ((I was a little loud.))</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I stand by my stance and believe that a country as prosperous as America should be ashamed to have homeless people and allow poor people, and children and elderly people to go hungry and be denied healthcare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I told her that if she followed me on FB she should know I'm not a Trump supporter. I came back today and checked to find out she had unfriended me. I'm sure she hasn't been on my friends list for a long time because I don't have any less friends than I've had for months. Anywho ...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
After I was with Mamma and came back to the waiting room I asked her how her husband had done. She said they had to put a stint in. I told her I hope he makes a speedy recovery.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I'm not trying to shame her but I want to know why Republicans think they deserve healthcare but people who don't have lots of money don't.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Despite the fact I embarrass my Christian friends sometimes I have a big heart and I bought into all that "Jesus says" stuff and believe his greatest virtue was his giving and loving heart and his compassion for others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I also believed that this country was great because everybody was entitled to justice and equality for all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Maybe I'm a dreamer (flower child), but I'm not the only one. I want healthcare for everyone, even the assholes who would deny it to others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">

Later I got this message:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Pam. There are no words for what you wrote on your public face book page. I was in shock that you could lower yourself for such stupidity. There are no words for you..... and by the way I never de-friended you. YOU have defriended me. I feel sorry for you and never in a million years would have believed you were that evil and downright mean. I am sorry that when security was called they did not haul you out of the hospital for the vulgar cursing you used in front of the young adults and the folks that were there and worried and concerned about their loved ones. They did not want to hear your CRAZY political views. Every one was looking at you. I am so hurt and mad that you could have wrote such a stupid story.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">

I responded:<br />
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">I did not unfriend you. Really. I am surprised you bothered to read my FB page and I am sorry you got so upset. I didn't give you a hard time and I didn't KNOW SECURITY WAS CALLED, if they ever were. I was not trying to offend anybody and I was telling the truth. You DID say that we were probably the only Trump supporters in the hospital. I did not use your name and I did not try to embarrass you. I think your husband's politics speaks volumes about your crazy political views, not mine. Get over yourself. I was trying to point out that people deserve healthcare no matter who they are or who they vote for</span><span style="line-height: 19.32px;">. If you can't see that it is your business.</span></div>

I was in the hospital waiting on my 88 year old mother's procedure. I've been in the hospital about a dozen times since 2013 with Daddy and Momma and Donny and my son and myself. I do understand the pressure people are under while waiting on their sick relatives to get HEALTHCARE. I was not writing a stupid story but while I'm at it I'd like to ask WHY DON'T PEOPLE BELIEVE EVERYBODY DESERVES HEALTHCARE?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">

I'd like an answer from someone. Why don't people in America believe everybody deserves healtcare?<br />

Was I really too mean, for God's sake . . .</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">There's nothing like a good walk to get your juices pumping. I have a great place to walk near my house. I go walking down Chitwood Road where they always have the Battle of Resaca each May. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are a few houses out there but it has rolling hills with broom sage sweeping the fields and I feel like I step back in time as I traipse about. When I was young, we always explored the woods.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;">To anyone who "suffered for the last 8 years under President Obama," please read this response from SCOTT MEDNICK when a Facebook friend told him, "We suffered for 8 years. Now it’s your turn.”</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Here is Scott's reply:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">"I am surprised you would wish suffering upon me. That of course is your right, I suppose. I do not wish harm on anyone. Your statement seems to continue an ‘US v THEM’ mentality.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">The election is over. It is important to get past campaigning and campaign rhetoric and get down to what is uniting not dividing and what is best for ALL Americans.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">There will never be a President who does everything to everyone’s liking. There are things President Obama (and President Clinton) did that I do not like and conversely there are things I can point to that the Presidents Bush did that I agree with.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">So I am not 100% in lock step with the outgoing President but have supported him and the overall job he did.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">And, if you recall, during the Presidential Campaign back in 2008 the campaign was halted because of the "historic crisis in our financial system."</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Wall Street bailout negotiations intervened in the election process. The very sobering reality was that there likely could be a Depression and the world financial markets could collapse.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">The United States was losing 800,000 jobs a month and was poised to lose at least 10 million jobs the first year once the new President took office. We were in an economic freefall.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">So let us recall that ALL of America was suffering terribly at the beginning of Obama’s Presidency.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">But I wanted to look back over the last 8 years and ask you a few questions.</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Since much of the rhetoric before Obama was elected was that he would impose Sharia Law, Take Away Your Guns, Create Death Panels, Destroy the Economy, Impose Socialism and, since you will agree that NONE of this came to pass, I was wondering: Why have you suffered so?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">So let me ask:</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Gays and Lesbians can now marry and enjoy the benefits they had been deprived of. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">When Obama took office, the Dow was 6,626. Now it is 19,875. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">We had 82 straight months of private sector job growth - the longest streak in the history of the United States. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Especially considering where the economy was when he took over, an amazing 11.3 million new jobs were created under President Obama (far more than President Bush). Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Obama has taken Unemployment from 10% down to 4.7%. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Homelessness among US VETERANS has dropped by half. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">Obama shut down the US secret overseas prisons. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">President Obama has created a policy for the families of fallen soldiers to have their travel paid for to be there when remains are flown home. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;">We landed a rover on Mars. Has this caused your suffering?</span></div>
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 19.32px;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">God, I hope this is a good year. I seriously have my doubts though. We shall see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's not even the middle of the month and our nation is already in free fall. We have learned, barely a week before the inauguration of president Trump, that the Russians were in contact with the Trump team before the election and they worked diligently, leaking information to discredit Clinton. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our government and the electoral process have been compromised. America has never had so direct an attack from a foreign government before. How we respond to this attack on our democracy, and their successful elevation of a buffoon to the highest office in the land, who is Putin's puppet, will test the very fabric of democracy. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't hold high hopes now that the Republicans have control of the house and the senate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One quarter of the voting public support this traitor and his swamp of deplorables who will dismantle our government and squeeze every dime out of us. They don't even understand the damage they have wrought. They don't care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Obamacare is not the real name for the health bill. It is called the <u>Patient Protection Affordable Care Act</u>. Republicans labeled it "Obamacare" to undermine the</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> President and the policy. The ACA, short for PPACA, strengthened patient's coverage and expanded their healthcare. People didn't face lifetime caps on coverage for catastrophic illnesses or denial of coverage for preexisting conditions, two of the most important benefits of the ACA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />The ACA was based on "Romneycare" which Mitt Romney created for his state when he was governor of Massachusetts. If you do a little research you will find that his plan was based on the Heritage Foundation's plan. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Believe it or not, the Republicans did draft</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> a similar health plan previously.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Heritage Foundation is a conservative research think tank organization that evolved from the John Birch Society. JBS was an extremist group that nearly died out until the Tea Party arose during the economic recession. They are anti-government radicals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Presidents have tried to introduce universal health care since Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in office in 1933. Republicans have always opposed it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Republicans have already passed a bill in the senate on Thursday (1-12-17) blocking six parts of Obamacare. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When Republicans stayed in session until 02:00 Friday morning, they blocked coverage for preexisting conditions, contraceptive coverage, child health care program (CHIP), allowing children under 26 to stay on their parent's insurance, medicaid expansion for lower income, and veteran's coverage. All of these things have been a godsent for millions of people who didn't have insurance before. Now, it is being stripped away from us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is only the beginning. They're going to work on social security and medicare next. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">God help us all.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This has been a long year. I haven't felt like I've made much headway this year. Nothing is like I imagined it would be and I am disappointed and disheartened.<br /><br />The 2016 Presidential election was a big dud and my favorite candidate didn't stand a chance. We are now doomed as democracy is sidelined and the mega-wealthy take control of the government. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm old. A lot of people are older than me and we will all face the suppression of government assistance and protection we have known for so long. Our old people will be destitute. I'm close to it already.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once corporations take over and destroy every branch of government that used to work for the people, not big business, we will all be fearful of death panels. Actually, all they have to do is cut social security and medicare and raise insurance rates or deny coverage and we won't even need any death panels. Old age, heart attacks, and strokes will take us out pretty fast. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't mind it for myself but I do hate it for the people that have worked all their lives and paid into the system who won't be able to pay their bills. I hate it for the young people who are working on barely minimum wage who won't ever be able to afford a home or an education. I hate it for all the peons who shuffle to work every day just to put food on their table and a roof over their heads for themselves and their families. I hate it because it is the death of the American dream.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We used to say "anyone could grow up to be president someday." How prescient! We should modify that saying to include . . . "but that doesn't make it right."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am deeply sad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't know where we will go from here but since time only travels in one direction, we will see.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Don't you just hate it when that happens? The month gets away from you and before you know it, you haven't got the job done. Well, that's me. Busy, busy, busy and not a lot of progress to show for it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner at Mama's house. Donny and I brought the turkey and dressing and my specialties; potato salad, deviled eggs, and macaroni and cheese. Mama cooked the vegetables and Colt made a pie. He made a cheese ball and sausage balls, too. That boy can cook better than I can.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mama's sister, Mary Jane, was there, too. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each time we are together, it is a blessing. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Scout came out to get some leftovers for supper. That's the best part of Thanksgiving.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today was Alice's birthday and Colt took us all out to celebrate at the Cracker Barrel. She slept through the beginning of the meal but woke up and after trying to figure out where she was and what was going on she got to eat her cake. She was hilarious. </span></div>

<u><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">TRUMP</span></u><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The scariest thing I can think of this Halloween is the coming election. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQWryHG7tPoby6Rkwk39RUSjD3Aeu7HH7k03EOeO0Zemh7EU139R39OMVudnwKaoIH9GxipWMZ2zNT5rY1EHnwp-h-QbOoWdz6pTyhrc9fFIhmHTdBIuN_b4XTEEyWpFOZ_IOjcRKhK8c/s1600/trump-800x430.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQWryHG7tPoby6Rkwk39RUSjD3Aeu7HH7k03EOeO0Zemh7EU139R39OMVudnwKaoIH9GxipWMZ2zNT5rY1EHnwp-h-QbOoWdz6pTyhrc9fFIhmHTdBIuN_b4XTEEyWpFOZ_IOjcRKhK8c/s400/trump-800x430.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really dislike this man. He is an arrogant, narcissistic, megalomaniac who denigrates men, women, veterans, POW's, handicapped, a Gold Star family, Muslims, Latinos, blacks, immigrants, unions, the media, his opponent, her husband, his own political party, our military, and </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>god knows who else</i>. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He is very negative and constantly puts down America, our political system, the Speaker of the House, and even Rosie O'Donnell.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Donald Trump thinks he's a great deal-maker but he's really just a con. He thinks it's good business to short-change employees and businesses whenever he can. He's bankrupted four times! Does that sound like a good businessman? Does deducting a loss of nearly one billion dollars and possibly not paying income taxes for 20 years sound like a good businessman? Does avoiding paying taxes for roads and military and other taxes make him smart? Is that the kind of man you want in the White House picking taxpayer's pockets? I don't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are too many incidents for me to start mentioning so let me just say, "Google it!" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Any time you read something I've written I don't expect you to take my word for anything. Google it. Look it up. Do some research. You have the world's encyclopedia at your fingertips. You're not a baby. Never take anyone's word for anything without verifying the information. You're a chump, if you don't. That's what people like Trump depend on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nearly every woman has had a skeevy experience with an overbearing man who behaved inappropriately with her. I've experienced more than one occasion which was frightening so I know how serious this subject is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When a man thinks he can jump a woman and take advantage of her and brags about it, he is a sleazy, little man. Trump is a sleazy little man with sweaty, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">little</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> hands. He is bold and arrogant because he has money and thinks money can buy, or buy off, anything. He likes gaming the system. He's gaming you and me and if he wins the presidency we are all screwed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How the heck anyone could think he would be a good leader and an excellent commander-in-chief I'll never understand. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trump projects an image of a bully. He could be playing hardball with the Sopranos but he does not belong in the White House.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the man who championed the birther movement even though it was a nonissue. It wouldn't have mattered if Obama had been born in a madrassa. He would have still qualified for president. His mother was an American.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Any naysayers seem to believe that Obama's mama hopped in a time machine after she gave birth to him in Kenya, then had a fake birth certificate that proved he was born in Hawaii because . . . Well, I don't know the "because". Obama's mother could have never dreamed her son was going to be president thirteen years after her death. That's just crazy conspiracy theory crap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trump is the epitome of everything that is wrong with America. He is a whiny little bitch that doesn't have any concrete plans to help this country. He keeps saying in a braggadocio manner that he has the solution but he never maps out a plan to strengthen this country. He doesn't even understand how our government works. How could he govern?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trump is too bored to prepare for the debates. What makes you think he will do the day to day duties a president has to do? He'll hire "the best" consultants to sit in for him and allow them to govern. That's why he chose uber-conservative, Mike Pense. Trump will come out and accept the credit for any successes he can tout but will quickly point blame to others if his administration fails. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mark my words!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Between now and the election, I might have to vent on my blog some more. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've got to convince my husband to vote for Hillary instead of a passive no-vote. I played the granddaughter card on him. I told him I don't want to live in a country that learns open bigotry and misogyny from a president like Trump. I want my granddaughter and other women to live in a world where women are treated with respect by everybody. Men are led by example. Our leader should have respect for everyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">God help us all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I saw a sign the other day. It said something like "my life didn't turn out like I expected it to be" and I thought that pretty much sums up my whole life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been painting and cleaning up around the house. I'm trying to get Alice's room painted so she can have a cheerful place to play. I am a horrible painter and if it wasn't for Colt I would have never gotten started. One gallon of paint wasn't enough so I had to buy some more. I've never painted the walls any color except white so I was a little anxious about smearing the walls a jackfruit yellow. They turned out fabulous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The grass seeds that Colt planted when he repaired the lawn is so thick I have to raise the blade on the lawnmower all the way. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This has been a busy summer. I had been mowing Moma's lawn until she got a wild hair and bought a riding mower so I didn't have to do that any more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I got to see Alice pretty often this summer and enjoy watching her develop and grow. She's a smart baby and has a great personality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We didn't have any cookouts or do anything with the family this year. I miss that. We used to cook out at least one or two times a year when Daddy was around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It won't be long before Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas. Whew ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Three fourths of the year is gone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The presidential election is impending and everybody is on different sides. This is the most contentious and disgusting election of my lifetime. I hope to God everyone gets off their fat ass and go vote.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That's all I have to say about that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ah, summertime! I'm relishing the heat. It feels like the sun warms me down to the bones. I've been taking antibiotics and I'm not supposed to get too much sun. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday afternoon I was going to mow but I was cleaning up a part of the yard instead. When I finally got around to getting out the lawnmower so I could check the oil and gas I noticed the cover for the air filter was missing. I found the filter laying on the ground but I never could find the cover for the box. I walked all over this yard, looking under bushes, and around anything that might have knocked off the lid. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Today my son came to visit and cut some hedges in the front yard. I decided to rake under the bushes just in case I lost the filter lid in the front yard last week although I don't believe I wouldn't have noticed it being missing while I mowed the whole yard last week. I finally started raking on one side of the bushes while he cut them standing on the other side. I had forgotten that there are yellow jackets around there. They got after me and started stinging me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Colt told me to run to the house. I ran onto the carport and started looking for the ammonia and cotton balls I leave sitting on the fence for just this kind of emergency. The stupid yellow jackets were still following me and wouldn't quit stinging me so I had to run into the house. We trapped them in the washroom and I ran into the dining room. I made Colt go around to spray the yellow jackets but he said they were at the door and he let them out instead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I was stung at least four times. Once on the hand. Once on the leg. And a couple of times on my torso. Every time I feel a twinge I jump, thinking I've been stung again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Oh well, that's what I get for not thinking. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I don't know what I'm going to do about fixing the lawnmower. Maybe I'll tie the goat outside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I hope I have a better day tomorrow.</span></div>

my monthly</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thank you for your kindness and patience in taking the time to peruse my weak attempts at humor or whatever you want to call my monthly ramblings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I haven't been very forthcoming about my life and my family because it seems there is </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">always</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">too much drama. (Don't ask.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Did I tell you I hate drama? Well, I do. That still doesn't mean I don't cause as much as I experience. I say that to my shame. I have the manners of a billy goat and I'm not a peace maker. That is not my job. I don't have a job anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think I should get involved in politics. I'd have to be better than the politicians we have now. Am I right?<i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm getting tired of everybody else going to Washington and getting rich making backroom deals. I figure I can run on the Honesty platform. Heck, most of those congressmen take a couple of years to become really corrupt (aka richer) and I'm such a dummy it would take me literally years to learn their tricks and the voters could vote me out by the time I become corrupted. </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Years, I tell you!</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I miss having a period. Now I don't have an excuse to bloat and pout for a week. Strangely, I miss that. I also don't have a rage of hormones to course through me and engulf me in righteous indignation. Therefore, my flame is becoming dim. That's why I'm becoming a monthly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If I could, I would rant and rage, but I can't do that anymore. I haven't felt as full of myself and as inflamed since I lost my daddy. I know that probably sounds stupid and I know it came completely out of left field but that's the truth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When my daddy was alive, I wondered if he read my blog. I always kept a keen eye and tried not to say anything I shouldn't. My parents didn't like too much drama, either, although sometimes I have to wonder.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyway, I never did learn whether my mother read my blog except for the time or two I showed her something I'd posted. I didn't know if my daddy knew I could even spell, much less write until one time he asked me to write something funny for the old car club he belonged to that he wanted to share. I never did get around to writing that story for him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My aunts read some of my stories and told me they liked them so they may have told Mama and Daddy about me. I didn't think they cared.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's funny that you can be born in a family and feel close to one another and when the unthinkable happens and you lose a linchpin everything changes. That happened when we lost my father and I've seen it happen to families around me who have been crippled with pain and loss. It happens every single time someone loses someone they love. That's why I want to say be gentle and be patient. Their lives will never be the same and it takes some time to adjust to the rest of their own lives. Just hang in there. It'll get better. That's what they say. I'll tell you when it happens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Between running to doctors and dentists and trying to maintain, our lives are very full right now. All in all, it's not so bad as long as you look on the bright side. I'll let you know when I see it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Take it easy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the weekend of the annual Dixie Highway 90 Mile Yard Sale. I noticed people are setting up </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">several booths</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> in anticipation. It's always a big deal and traffic can be bumper to bumper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have to be careful not to rubberneck and run over anybody.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was sidelined l</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ast week</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> when my truck had to be worked on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had to go to the dentist Monday because I developed an infection in my gums!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mamma's ankles are swelling and Mary was complaining with a pain in her buttocks. Colt and I have bad coughs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know it seems like one thing after the other is always going on and it's not happening news or interesting stuff. It's just plain boring day to day life. I prefer it to the alternative. Wouldn't you? I hate the drama.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are lots of things going on but they're big things and little things and things that don't really mean much to anybody but us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wish Daddy was still alive. He would have a blowout birthday party for Mamma's 87th birthday. That's a lot of candles. We'd have to have the fire department on standby. I miss my daddy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">MONDAY</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today was one of those days. I had a dentist appointment but was late because I realized our goat, Bonnie, was out and I had to go looking for her before I left. Thank goodness our neighbor caught her and was bringing her home when I started looking. He probably heard me yelling for her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After my dental appointment I had to rush home to make sure Bonnie was still in the pen. I shut the door so she couldn't escape again. I didn't have time to look for the hole in the fence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I ran to the electric company to pay my bill that I had forgot all about until the other night. I was happy I got it paid within the grace period and didn't owe a late fee but when I went back to my truck to leave it wouldn't start. Oh great! This day was turning out to be a doozie. I called the mechanic and then Scout and Donny, just in case I needed them later. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wasted about an hour trying to get my truck to start.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Donny finally told me to mash the doohickey that Scout pushed when it wouldn't start the last time. I looked around under the hood. To say I'm inept is a compliment. I took some cover off of something and then had to put it back on because I didn't see anything there to push. I finally realized the doodad was right in front of me but I couldn't reach it. No problem. I got my trusty old back scratcher I carry in my truck and used the handlike stick to push the spring a couple of times then I tried to crank my truck and, by golly, it worked! That was a relief. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm just glad to finally be home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">TUESDAY</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, today was another day. I thought, "what the heck, I'll do some running around" clearly ignoring my precarious predicament from yesterday. I convinced my buddy, Joann, to go riding around with me and we ended up at Burger's Market in Carbondale. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lo and behold, the truck bowed up on me and wouldn't start. Who'd a knew? Well, we called in the cavalry and waited. It was a long hot wait. Joann and I got comfy with a sun shade and ice cold water compliments of the lady from Burger's Market. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Joann was rescued by her friend, Nancy, who came down to Carbondale to pick Joann up. My son, Scout, came by after work to see if he could help. Nothing we did worked. He gave me the number for the wrecker service and left. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It wasn't very long before Donny arrived from work and tried to start the truck. No such luck. We finally gave up and called Dalton Wrecker and had them haul my Ford to the mechanic in Resaca. We've become such reliable customers we've built sort of a bond. I hope he won't mind coming to get the keys to my truck in the morning when I call. Crap! I wasted a couple of hours today because I didn't take the truck to the garage the first thing today like I should have. I should have known better.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love April. It's probably my favorite month. Everything starts blooming and the weather gets warmer. I can remember years ago when I got my first pair of glasses and rode around in awe looking at the flowers and trees that were in bloom. I hadn't realized how blind I was until then. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Only one thing mars the beauty of the month. This is the month that my dear cousin, Donna, died unexpectedly 36 years ago. She was only 20 years old. I wonder what she would have been like if she was alive today. She was funny, and cute, and a great friend. We grew up together so she was almost like a sister to me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NRw45yOsZb4/VxG1ZPaI__I/AAAAAAAAFeQ/ClshwhaEt8A_HtnFiAL-WcBVvE47ULwWwCKgB/s1600/IMG_20160414_194108-COLLAGE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NRw45yOsZb4/VxG1ZPaI__I/AAAAAAAAFeQ/ClshwhaEt8A_HtnFiAL-WcBVvE47ULwWwCKgB/s320/IMG_20160414_194108-COLLAGE.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Donna was also very stubborn. She got mad at me one time and wouldn't talk to me. I can't remember what she was mad about but if she was around I'm sure she would remember. We lived near my grandmother's house and I would see Donna out there. She acted like I didn't exist. It really hurt my feelings and made me sad. I begged my grandmother to talk to Donna and get her to forgive me (for what I don't know) and talk to me again. Thankfully, she listened to Beulah and forgave me and we became fast friends again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't know what I would have done if she had been mad at me when she died. I don't get over things easily. Neither did she.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She was mad at her mother before she died but my aunt told me that Donna forgave her. I don't know if that was true or not because I talked to Donna on the Sunday before she died and she told me she was never going to trust her mother again. She found out her mother had been seeing her ex-husband but lied about it. Donna didn't like David. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Donna never forgave people for lying to her. She dropped several friends she grew up with for lying to her and not taking her to Florida on vacation one year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After Donna died we talked about her all the time and tried to piece her last few days together. I found out her husband had been seeing another woman who had been calling Donna's house to talk to him. Donna said she could hear a baby crying in the background. She thought it was her husband's baby by the other woman.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He was a notorious liar and told some outrageous tales. He had her convinced I was chasing after him and drove a wedge between us. She should have known I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. He was young and ignorant and wanted to keep Donna away from everyone who would support her. After she died, he and his sister went to an attorney to try to get Donna's house. He also told Donna's mother that some woman was chasing him at work. He had the nerve to say that people were teasing him and would clap their hands every time he walked by. I didn't understand what she meant until she told me that he meant the guys at work were accusing him of catching the clap from that woman. He was nasty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He told so many lies that we never did know what really happened to Donna. He said some nasty things about when the detectives interrogated him. He was one of the most disgusting people I've ever known and I can't understand why Donna put up with him. I think he played on her sympathies because he lost his father when he was young and Donna lost her father when she was little, too. She got in over her head before she realized what he was really like and never had a chance to get out of the situation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We always wondered if he had something to do with Donna's death. There never were any definitive answers for why she died. She died in her bed and was supposedly asleep when she started convulsing and bucking in bed. Her husband said he straddled her and held her down instead of getting up and turning on the light. He didn't even call an ambulance. He called my grandmother and said Donna was dead. She ran out to my mother's house and knocked on the door. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Momma was sitting in the den, waking up, getting ready to go to work. She said she heard Beulah moaning and yelling "Open the door. Donna's dead!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Momma hollered for Daddy to wake up; Donna was dead. She said Daddy jumped out of bed and rushed to Donna's house before she and Beulah even got there. Donna was laying on the bed, in her jeans and shirt. Daddy leaned over her and started doing CPR on her. Momma said she was on one side of Donna's bed, rubbing her hand and calling her to wake up. She said Donna was already cold. Daddy told me later on that Donna's jaw popped when he tried to open it. He thought she had been dead for a while.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That was the most devastating and tragic thing our family had ever gone through. Donna's daddy died in a trucking accident when she was a baby and our family reeled for years from that death. Donna's death would take decades to recover from. Actually, we never completely recovered from her death. Our family split and turned against each other and has never recovered. If anybody had told me our family would have disintegrated like we did, I would never have believed them. We used to be so close I thought we were invincible. I wouldn't wish that pain on anybody.</span></div>
