A constant barrage. Why do you think? (please leave thoughts in comments).
….thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!
I died today. Okay, I didn’t, but if I had, it’d be cool.
My kids are doing alright, got to spend time with all of them recently. So it’s cool.
Abortion is not a Federal decision, or a State decision, it’s a personal family decision.
Crimes are crimes and should be treated as such, but personal decisions, personal, sometimes life and death decisions, should be weighed by the family first.
In cases that only affect the family.
Two and a half years — your age when we met.
Your mom (my high school obsession) called me on Superbowl Sunday 1989.
We set a date to meet, but as would happen repeatedly the following 20 years, drama intervened and we convened days earlier in front of a liquor store on La Paz road in Mission Viejo. She’d driven up from San Diego after attacking your grandmother with a shoe, more on that later, but this isn’t about her.
You were in the backseat.
After a few months, we all moved in together in Huntington Beach, and your mom and I married a couple years later.
I think it’s wonderful that you remember your sperm donor so fondly.
Those times when he:
brushed the knots out of your hair (because you’re mom didn’t have the patience)
held you during the night terrors until you were 4
changed your wetted underwear and bed sheets
provided a home, food to eat and your own bed
taught you that there’s nothing you can’t overcome, especially homework that time when you were giving up, crying on the kitchen table because you didn’t get it, and then you did
video taped every one of your school shows
took you to the emergency room at all hours, regardless
bought the albuterol, amoxicillin, claritol and all the other meds prescribed to keep you breathing
encouraged you to follow your dream
objectively gave you kudos where deserved, and offered constructive criticism where needed
warned you about Sean, let you make that mistake, on your own, anyway, but always watching (yes, there’s things you don’t know)
paid for car insurance, bought you a car, bought you a phone, paid for your phone and usage, even when you upgraded without asking. but that’s just money.
paid for two semesters at the University of Hawaii
Took you back and forth to work, at whatever job, whenever, when asked.
Showed up at your door with the uhaul at 5am, with the contents of your storage unit, already packed, for the Dec. 10 combo garage sale we had planned. In which you made out pretty well, including the meatball sandwich from Lucci’s, while we were making deliveries after a long day.
Oh wait, that wasn’t the sperm donor. that was me.
Me during the day. Me at night
figuratively and literally
During the day, I prefer being anonymous.
Neutral color clothes, no eye contact
swift, direct movements
later, vodka brings the swagger and the attitude
Largely reserved and staying under the radar in public
Apparently I prefer to speak out at night, apparently there are times I can’t contain myself, because I’m apt to first check facebook comments in the morning and am often surprised at what I said
damn
I meant it at the time. No issue there.
Actually, there isn’t anything I’ve said that I regretted.
But there have been times when I regretted that I didn’t monitor the conversation well enough.
Donald Trump: (interview with The Daily Caller – 11/14/2018)
“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes, which is what I’ve been saying for a long time. I have no doubt about it. And I’ve seen it, I’ve had friends talk about it when people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.
The disgrace is that, voter ID. If you buy, you know, a box of cereal, if you do anything, you have a voter ID.”
———————————-
I have voted in every election, as long as I can remember.
I have always had to verify my name and address. Including a signature next to my name.
Is this scenario possible?
I do not know what the laws are in other states.
I wasn’t there. I don’t know.
It’s easy to enrage the anti-Trump faction.
Maybe there were legitimate reasons POTUS elected not to honor fallen WW1 soldiers.
I believe in God.
I believe in an inclusive God.
I don’t believe in religions that exclude.
period
From one of my recurrent dreams (there are too many)
Living in a circular house
Lots of closets
Convergent identical hallways
Plethora of bedrooms (all with closets)
The cast in each room rotates
All family, friends and acquaintances.
I CANT FIND MY PANTS!!
