WHAT IS DEATH?

What is it about death that can make the strongest man weak and the 

determined, confident woman weep.

We look at death as an end, but too many it marks the beginning maybe as 

an infant, maybe as an adult.  Like the pimple-face acne of a baby, or the

pimple-face acne of a teenager, we can all hope to see the age spots of 

an old man or woman.  This is what some of us try so desperately to hide 

- to conceal by the stoke of a

brush through make-up, or the fine prick of a needle.

Death.... it is a word that has both the meaning of beginning or end.  

How can we even purse our lips to say this lonely word that many see 

only one single, dark color - why

do we wear it among the weeping living souls of a non-breathing human - 

it has the clarity of a belief of no ending, like looking into the 

bottom-less pit of a hole or dark never

ending tunnel.

Some will grasp hold of this work and it will tightly bind our flesh, 

and others will run hoping to escape the inevitable clutch it will 

indeed have on our being.

Death.... maybe if we say it enough we will think it easier to face.  We 

believe in God, we believe in the power of God, but death for each one 

of us is simply as easy as looking in a mirror.

Death.... is our face to face.

That Pathetic Little Human We Call A "MAN" Who Runs 'FAT SHAMERS' on Twitter!

Alight, here we go!!  I don't normally watch television during the day, but it was on and the Dr. OZ show was blaring!  It seems Dr. OZ invited a pathetic individual on his show.  What a waste of time Dr. OZ!  Allowing the twit to get on TV and waste your time, the audiences time, and now my time..
This reminded me of a Jerry Springer episode.  Since about 10 minutes of my time was wasted staring at this male bully who started fat shamers on Twitter, I would like to give my take now.

I looked at the twitter site.  I read some awful tweets.  I closed the page, and thought to myself, this guy obviously has some issues from a childhood past, or he was picked on, or his mama didn't teach him how to respect people, especially women!!  Now I know it can be fat men or women, but the site seems to be geared more towards fat women.  Listening to him on the show also gave me the impression he hates fat women.  By insulting fat people (women in particular), he gives tough love.  His sick demented mind thinks that by name calling on fat people, they will want to lose weight because of embarrassment.

What I can't figure out is this - I see a tweet pic of an overweight person at a gas station and an insult is given.  Excuse me stupid ass - how would this overweight person even know you're giving them your 'TOUGH LOVE??'  Nevertheless, I think there should be some legal consequences. I think there should be a Twitter account for the people that are shown on his account to shame him for his shameful personality.

You make no sense!!  I will say something to you, MR. FAT SHAMER - what are you compensating for?  Can you get those grey strands of ugly hair out of your beard please, or dye it??  And, honestly, from a woman's perspective, I don't care how in shape you are, not only is your personality horribly flawed, but your not so great looking, if you know what I mean...

How about this, can I start a 'FIX YOUR FACE SHAMER'  because you really need a good look in the mirror buddy.  You are a disgrace to society and shame on you for being a man.  Poor women, look at what we have to go through!!! :)

SAVE ON YOUR STORE CREDIT CARD!!

 

This past week I had to get a birthday present, so I stopped at the department store - also had a store credit there that was burning a hole in my wallet, so I found something, went up to the cashier and THEN it all began!! She says, you know you could save $30.00 if you opened a store credit, 'no thanks' I say - then she says it again!! and adds ' you could turn right around and pay it off'!  I said yep, but it is a reflection on my credit report - THEN gives a disgusted shaking head look and says it one more time!!

 I simply glared and handed over my store credit, goodwill coupon and additional 10.00!!  Sorry, if I don't want to save money, that is the problem with the world  - they strove the cards at you, but when you really need it - you get a big fat NO!!
 Just put me somewhere where I am not a danger to society, and can't get out because I don't want a store credit card!!!  Just irks me!!  i get they have to ask - but ONCE would be enough!

THEN.... oh it doesn't stop there!!  Go to Target (for my client - I use her credit card),  can you see where this is going???...... Do I want to use my Target (save) card - I just say 'no thanks - not this time'...  AGAIN...... oh you could save 5% PERCENT she says - ( bought TP and baggies) came to about 15.00 - do the math - how much am I really saving on $15.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 OK, I admit I did get a bit snippy, I pull out MY Target card and show her, and then tell her this is for someone else.   Why in the he..  should I have to explain to her - mumbled all the way to my car!!!

Humans...

I was thinking about this...
I came to the conclusion that we all (humans, anyway) revert back to our childhood (or babyhood if you will), BUT in babies its 'cute' and funny!  

Comes the chart: 
    

Babies       Older Adults

Drool  - funny           

 Drool - disgusting

Stagger when walking - cute and funny        

  Stagger when walking - disgusting & drunk

Fart - funny  

 Fart - gross and disgusting

Accidental pee - awwww that's ok                  

Accident pee - OLD, OLD! WEAR DEPENDS!!                                                                                                                                                                    

Saying a word funny - sooo cute                     

Funny word -NURSING HOME FOR YOU!!

College and the $1000 Child tax Credit

I am told by the Government that I need to participate in the college expenses of my soon to be adult (18) child. I say adult/child because unless she gets married at 18 or enters the military, she's still a kid in Uncle Sam's eyes when it comes to college. Till 26 I think!  So, there's this handy form the government makes parents fill out (otherwise you won't get a Stafford Loan or be eligible for fed grants) so they can tell you as a parent, how much you can afford to pay for your CHILD'S college education.  We're all too stupid to figure it out! With all the debt this country holds right now, i have to laugh at this form. it reminds me of a drunk telling another drunk not to drink!!! Of course they don't want to know about any of your debts. You know, your mortgage, car payments, living expenses and so forth. When big man Uncle Sam came back with a figure on how much I should be plunking down, I was wondering if they were basing their calculation like how we spend in this country.  Only, I can't print money!  I want to help out for college. I don't WANT Uncle Sam telling me what I need to pay! 

After doing my taxes this year, my CHILD doesn't qualify for the $1000 child tax credit because its for ages 16 and under. According to the IRS, my CHILD is an adult at 17 (since she doesn't qualify for child tax credit),but when she goes off to college at 18, she's back to a child again. Wow, that's pretty amazing.  How much is 1+1??? Maybe that should be a mandatory question before you can actually work for the Government.  Box of rocks.. It's not the 'American Dream' anymore.  its an American fairy tale. 

The Dogs Eye!

Why does it cost more money to have my dogs one eye looked at than both my eyes? $165 for a DOGGIE EYE SPECIALIST to  visually look and see if she has a cataract!! No instruments used!! What does that take, 5-10 minutes tops?  Local vet says, "Hey I see a cataract, but you should call this eye specialist." I called and was told $165 to look straight in my dogs face. Can't we pass the $165 visual inspection, because I know damn well there's a $400 test after that.  MOVE ON WITH IT!! 

RANTS

THE CHECKOUT CASHIER

I buy 4 items.  The cashier asks if I want a bag?  It isn't the first time this has happened. "No cashier, I want to look like I am shoplifting when I leave your store by carrying all this stuff in my hand.  Seriously, is the store trying to save money this way or is the cashier really that.... well, you fill in the blank ______?

HUGH HEFNER 'COUGAR'

Just read an article on Hugh Hefner and his 27 year old WIFE!!!!!! If
you who didn't know he is 87!!!!! SIXTY YEAR DIFFERENCE!!!! First thought that might come to your head is S.O.M ('sick old man'), but I say, S.O.M. (smart old man). She is the sick one, and certainly past the "father figure" thought - don't know that many 60 year old men who father children (although I'm sure they are definitely out there). Hugh is the king of cougars!! or, maybe a better name fit for him would be "Rhino" - equivalent to "female cougars". There should be a street named after him after all!! But alas, I'm sure she married him all in the name of LOVE - it's just that what would that love pertain to!!

GINGER

Why do people call red heads 'ginger'. The color of ginger is

orange/brown. Why don't we call them cayenne pepper??? Sounds stupid

you may say, BUT - I don't think so.

PEOPLE, WHY??

Why do people sit in their car (on a warmish day) with it left running - just talking on the phone AT ALMOST $4.00/GAL - probably the very same people that complain about the price of gas!!!!!!





Gadgets And The Simple Life

When all the social media gadgets came out I thought, "wow, my life is

going to be so much simpler". When one small sentence or thought crosses my mind, I can just "tweet" it. Or, when I want to wish someone a "Happy Birthday" - hey I can just "facebook" it by clicking on a "happy birthday' icon. Email, text,....... what next???  BUT, what about the hug or smile you miss, the fear, sadness or anger in someones face, or the joy of ones eyes when "hearing" the voice of a first time mother.  ISN'T THIS WHAT LIFE IS REALLY ABOUT???  Don't take away the 'gadgets' - they can be a great and useful tool in business and in ones personal life. Hey.... I'm using it now, aren't I????

Just be aware of the fact that just because something is 'simple' doesn't always mean better - isn't it better to lean on someone rather than a gadget????
