It's Been Soooo Long

Haven't been here for 2 years. Wow!! How time flies when you're having fun. NOT!! Two years ago I brought my mom and stepdad to CO from FL to live. Packed up their 2400 sq. ft. house iin 5 days, got the movers lined up, bundled them up, and went from tropical climate to snow in 4-1/2 hours. He had been sick - his kids around but no one helping either of them, so they were basically alone, both in their 80's. She was in hospital and I went to take care of her. Finally said - Enough!! I can't travel back and forth each time you are not well. Either here or......

So we're in CO. He took ill on New Year's Eve, went to hospital on New Years Day, left us on the 31st. We knew it would happen, just not as quickly as it did. So now to get her back to some kind of functioning health. Trying to do that and maintain some kind of personal life. Yeah, right!! Haven't had that in 2 years now. Everytime there's a hint of my having a life, boom! something happens. Pneumonia, back pain, headaches, a fall, etc. etc. Well, finally got the health issues sorted out. Pain under control - as long as I don't have a life it is (that's how it feels). My own health issues crop up when I don't live my life as I need to. So two years of my own health going down the drain. Finallly getting that under control for myself, and whammo!! The back pain is back......

Ugh!! More later. Got to go.

Thanks for being here for me to rant a bit.

Ho Ho Ho? and other offensive shit

I'm sorry, but I'm definitely not offended when Santa rings out with his HO HO HO.

What's with all of you peoples??!! Please please get a life. He doesn't say Ha Ha Ha, it's Ho Ho Ho. Don't know about you, but no one's called me a ho lately. Pretty soon you'll want him to slim down because he's offensive to fat people (oops, I shouldn't say the f word - sorry, overweight people).

What does offend me is the latest Burger King commercial showing angry moms wanting to 'off' the king because he makes a sandwich that's better than theirs are. Now that is truly offensive. Why would anyone make a commercial with violent moms wanting to kill someone - never mind that it's over a stupid sandwich. What are we trying to teach our kids. No, it's NOT funny!! Now that's offensive.

Someone Like You

I am so into Van Morrison lately.

So my favorite Van Morrison song got pulled from YouTube. Go figure!!
Sorry folks. Will look for another version.

My rant for the day

I am so sick and tired of everyone having to apologize for anything they say that might offend someone in this universe, or for anything they might do that is funny that might offend someone in this universe. What ever happened to free speech and the right to laugh at ourselves. Oh yeah, I forget, the shrubs and the bushes get in the way of our sight and we can no longer express what to many is just funny. If we can't laugh at ourselves, damn....get a life, people!!

I was lucky to grow up in a city with many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds represented. I had black friends, white friends, German, Polish, Italian, Jewish, Irish, Catholic, Protestant. We ALL joked about ourselves, laughed about ourselves, and we all knew it was about certain truths that were part of our lives and heritages. I can't remember any of us being offended, since we ALL laughed out loud and told the jokes about our own.

So what's the deal, peoples. Someone cut off your laughing buttons? Someone say you cannot ever say in humor what is sometime truth without offense? How did Don Rickles ever make it in this world? Or Johnny Carson, for that matter. What ever happened to calling a spade a spade?? And how dare you impose your own moral code on mine!!! I happen to think mine is pretty good, probably even better than yours since I wouldn't even dream of imposing mine on you.

Okay, I'm done for right now. There will probably be more.

I just had a birthday - a real Halloween baby - born during a full Blue moon many eons ago.
:-)
I can rant all I want.
So there!
Have a great November.

Rep. DeFazio on the President’s Veto vs. the President’s Iraq Request

Let's see - $600 billion WAR, $10 billion KIDS
600B = WAR
10B = KIDS

Yeah, let's save money and cut out the kids' stuff. Besides, no health care means less mouths to feed in the long run, anyway.

hmmmmm.......

WHERE

has my country gone?


tears rolling down my cheeks.
