Just Me

Well here I am at age 87 almost,88. I am wondering what I am supposed to do now. I have had several surgeries, three husbands (all deceased) three children, only one still speaks to me, and four grandchildren, again only one still speaks.

The fact that I am Catholic was an accident. Noting my second husband was and didn't even go to church I decided to join the church as most of his family were Catholics. Biggest mistake I ever made. It brought on panic attacks and really never fit. Previously I had been a member and presiding officer of several Masonic organizations. The office I loved was Chaplain because I always felt I was speaking directly to the Creator. This probably began as a child when I had surgery. I was picked up and carried to the lap of someone who gave me the choice of staying with him or going back to my life. I guess you know which I chose.

Now I am wondering  if I  made a wise choice as I am now trying to recover from my latest surgery. There has got to be some reason for all this. It would be nice if someone would tell me what that is. Why am I still here and what in hell am I supposed to do now?

New appointment

 Well my appointment yesterday resulted in hurry up and wait. There are only two therapy offers in the area now. Looks like I have to wait another week for an appointment at Cibola Hospital. I can't believe Good Sam sent me home with nothing except what I knew from my previous experiences.I guess I did learn a little from the therapy I had there. So time marches on- slowly! I would like to practice with a Cain while I am waiting, but I don't want to fall again and start over.

Miss me yet?

 I have been in and out of health care facilities for a couple of months.I tripped over what I thought was a ladder, but apparently my own feet.  ended up breaking my femur from a previous hip replacement.What a great way to spend the summer! I am now at home, but not free to do what I want. It has been a learning experience for me that I do not want to repeat.

At the moment I am trying to heal and decide what to do next. At first I rejected the idea of a new book. How many can you write in one lifetime? On second thought perhaps there is something new to be offered to my readers.Isn't that why God gives us the same experiences? I need to think about that!

I have an evaluation appointment on Friday so PMS can offer their opinion of where I am. If nothing else I believe I have learned to stand up for myself and not just say okay. Perhaps that is what this was all about? Anyway I will get back to you all when I decide on a future! 

 

Is he dead yet?

I saw this question the other day and there was no need to add a name to it. It is a question I wake every day with.There is really nothing I can do to make it happen. One would think with the thousands and thousands marching against him he would get the idea that it is time for him to go.I can't imagine how it would feel to have that many people marching in protest of me. It makes me wonder if he has any feelings at all, He just keeps sticking his finger up there with a pen attached to sign new orders. It appears that even his current wife has had enough. I would think so! I would think his children would feel the same if it were not for the money that ends up in their pockets.

So I am just one who keeps asking, Is he dead yet? 

Not that

Apparently a bolt of lightening is not going to strike Mr. Trump. I wonder just what the Creator has in store for him before he completely destroys America? I suppose he could still suffer a heart attack or a stroke.That still would not leave anyone responsible, but him. It is a shame that his antics caused such a division with the people. I don't think No Kings Day was meant to be an insult to the military. It was meant to tell Trump enough is enough.I don't know what will stop him, but something had better and soon!

What now?

After seeing a quote yesterday that Trump had finally made God mad, I really thought he would be hit by lightening during the parade this morning.No the jerk is still with us! It would have been perfect and nobody would have been responsible! I don't know how much more crap we will have to deal with before this ends. I would think he has hurt enough people already. Even children, taking away free lunches and deporting people who have done nothing wrong! Will this ever end? 

Trump can blame Biden for whatever he wants to, but at lest he had sense enough to drop out of the race when he noticed his health getting worse. Trump just keeps mouthing off and blaming everyone else for his faults.

Bothered much?

There are two things that really bother me. First Jesus is supposed to be God's only child right? On the other hand we are all supposed to be children of God. Something just doesn't add up! The other thing is about tips. If restaurants paid their employees a living wage tips wouldn't be necessary, but the prices would go up. So any way you look at it the customer pays. It is cheaper to just eat at home and screw the restaurant owners!

Who are you?

I don't understand how Republicans, whether elected, appointed or just voted wrong, can just stand by and watch their country be destroyed by corrupt people. Are they so afraid of retaliation or are they just plain blind to what is going on?

Sugar Cookies

I needed some cookies but didn't feel like going to the store. So......

Sugar Cookies     400 degree oven 10 minutes

2 eggs, beat with a fork

2/3 cup oil 

2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp.. lemon

3/4 cup sugar

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

To egg add oil, vanilla, lemon. Blend in sugar, Add flour, salt & baking powder. Drop with teaspoon 2" apart. Smash with greased glass dipped in sugar. Bake 8-10 minutes.

Sick of Trump

I am so tired of the shit Trump is getting away with. It is hard to believe Republicans are closing their eyes and simply not seeing this crap. Some are even going so far as to say he is the greatest president we have ever had. Seriously? A great president is going to defy the constitution and the court system? All it would really take is for one police officer to arrest him. If Musk was banned from the prison he couldn't interfere this time.I suppose that is too much to hope for! Why in the world would I expect anything good to happen during this administration? 

Happy Mother's Day

I have three children, four grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Of those individuals one son, one grandson and one great grand child communicate. I suppose it could be worse. At least I have a representative from each generation still talking to me.

My first husband was a womanizing jackass, my second husband was a committed alcoholic. To say I have had an easy life would be a joke.It began in Ketchikan, Alaska and moved on down from Washington, California to New Mexico. I like the little town of Grants so I think I will stay. I have had many pets along the way. Skippy, Alfy, Bandit, Pepper, Tippy, Ebony, Smokey, Ejay and Lilly. I think she will be my last.

On this Mother's Day 2025 it is a bit lonely as most of my family do not even speak to me. That is mostly their choice! So I wish my friends a happy Mother's Day instead.

Simple Soup

 With the weather so crazy it is sometimes nice to make a simple soup.

Busy Day Soup

1 # ground beef-brown & drain.(I added a little onion and garlic)

5 cups water

28 oz. diced tomatoes

1 package onion soup mix

Simmer for 1 hour then add-

1 cup macaroni & 1 3/4 cup frozen vegetables, cook for 15 minutes. 

Feel free to add seasonings of your choice.

Democrat or republican?

 I don't consider myself either. In the last election I voted for Harris because I felt Trump was unfit for the office of president. I haven't changed my opinion. Today I cancelled Occupy Democrats from my Facebook posts. I just got tired of all the crap. If Trump is as guilty of half the crap they say he was he would be in prison or a mental institution. He isn't a great president and never has been in my opinion. I have no idea what is going to happen, but something has to change. These lies on both sides have to stop!They are driving everyone crazy!

I don't think Kamala Harris could have made as many mistakes as Trump has. It is probably time we gave a female a chance to govern too.

Catholics

I joined the Catholic church intending it to please my second husband. It was also the reason I had my third child, I thought giving him a child of his own would make him stop drinking. How wrong! He just drank more. My daughter no longer speaks to me and I haven't been a practicing Catholic for 25 years. After my divorce from said husband I no longer wanted to be told how to think and act by men of the cloth. It took a long time for me realize this. I had always had direct communication with God and really didn't need a third party to interfere.   

Survival

Yesterday I survived my first Medicare appointment. After the questions offered by the nurse the nurse practitioner came in to do her thing. I couldn't resist wondering out loud why with thousands marching in protest of Trump he hasn't been assassinated. Her answer was,"he is the president". After thinking about her answer for hours, I had to laugh. In the history of presidents there have been five assassinations. among them Lincoln and JFK. I certainly wouldn't put Trump in that category. In my opinion both Trump and Musk belong in prison for what they have done to the United States, starting with buying the election. My question would be, why is nobody doing anything about that? That started everything. We have never had a president who believes he is God and he can defy the constitution. I hope I live long enough to enjoy the outcome of this crap! 

The NP went on for ten minutes about how great Trump is and stating that everything against him is propaganda and lies. I ended by saying she was entitled to think what she wanted to. I should have added-and so am I!

A question

I wonder if those thousands of people marching against Trump on the weekend of April 6th kept one word (leave) in mind this weekend, would God listen?

I don't get it!

Every day I wake up with the thought that this may be Trump's last day as president. I really don't care if he is thrown in prison, a mental institution or plain dead. I just want him gone! I never thought in my 87 years of life that I would live to see one man defy the courts and do whatever he desires. That is just plain sick. It is like he has protection from somewhere! It was recently that thousands of every day people marched against him in every Sate.It apparently didn't matter. He continues to do whatever he feels like, whatever the law says. I really do not understand. What in the hell is he still doing here? 

False Alarm

As it is now April 14th and Trump is still alive and kicking, apparently the picture of him in a casket was false. Trump has many things up his sleeve to destroy everything most people rely on. His latest is screwing up Social Security. I have a word of warning for you Mr. Trump If you try to screw up Social Security you can't even imagine the number of people who will stop you. You might want to stay in Florida because you will never again be able to enter the white house. I'm not sure how this is going to end, but you had better lay off doing anything to Social Security.

Fraud

Everyone knows there was voter fraud in the last election. My question is why isn't anyone doing anything about it? Musk helped Trump win by buying votes- no secret. In the last two months Trump has gotten by with pretty much whatever he wants, as long as it puts money in his hands and the hands of his rich friends. He doesn't care how much it costs the average person. How much more shit is he going to get by with before he is put in prison or a mental institution?

Join or not

Today as I opened my computer I noticed several posts about crowds gathering all over the United States  to protest Trumps games. I knew I couldn't join them but I could respond to the posts and pass them on. I am sick of the government not doing anything to stop this crap. but maybe the massive crowds will cause them to get rid of this insane creature before he destroys everything he touches. Somehow he needs to be stopped! I am not sure what is wrong with him, but something is!

True or false

A few days ago I saw something that came through on Facebook that stuck in my mind. It was a picture of Trump in a casket with the date April 12. I know the 12th is on a weekend and he always spends his time on a plane traveling to Florida to waste more money on golf. At last count it was 18.2 million. I can't even imagine that much money. Anyway I will wait another week to see what happens.

Are you crazy?

I can't believe there are still people, probably republicans, who believe Donald Trump is the greatest president there ever was. Are you people blind? Maybe you just don't care that he is giving the U.S. a bad name all over the world. This man belongs in a mental facility, in prison or dead. Take your pick! It doesn't matter as long as he is off the streets. He can take all of his fancy friends with him, including Elon Musk! What is it going to take to get the country back to what it was? I know it won't happen with this jerk!

Wake up!

 Wake up all you people who think Trump is a nice old man! He isn't. He is a dictator who is stealing your life and your country. Oh and he isn't alone. He has all his super rich friends helping him! Someone needs to do something before we don't have a country left.

Is there a God?

All of my life I have believed that there is a Creator called God. Now I am wondering if He/She really exists. If this entity is real how could Trump & Musk get by with all the crap they have pulled? As an example,they have caused people to be without employment just because they can. Now they are about to cause thousands of people to loose their income through Social Security. Is this fair you may ask? Well I guess it is if there really is not a Creator. It seems nobody can stop the destruction these two are creating. The constitution and rules mean nothing to them, well of course unless if you have tons of money. Brains are not necessary! If there really is a Creator when is He/She going to remove this crap from the earth? I can't be the only one asking, when will they get theirs?  Judging from the past two months I don't expect anything new to happen.

I don't get it!

At the time of the last presidential election two guys buy the results and nobody does anything. They are still out there screwing up the world as I know it. It's difficult to know which one is really in charge. The fat one thinks he is God and nobody can tell him what to do!The other one, who shouldn't even be in this country, spends his time looking for fraud, which really isn't there. Nobody is doing anything.I don't get it!

What I really don\t get is why nobody has taken a shot at them and ended all this garbage? The fat one has made sure all his rich friends are appointed to high offices, even if they don't know what they are doing. I don't get it!  

With all the guns in the world and people with itchy fingers how are they all still alive? I don't get it! 

Closed group

I chose to close my group, "Picture This" because members were busy focusing on other matters. I will not close this blog because it will remove all posts since 2009. I hope all concerned are happy with my decisions. There is enough going on in the world today.

A simple wish

Every day I wish this would be the last day on earth for Donald Trump. Unfortunately it never happens. He has done his best to destroy the United States and nobody seems willing to stop him. I really don't want him to be assassinated because I don't want anyone else to pay for his death. I actually would be satisfied if he died of natural causes, like a stroke or heart attack. He is grossly overweight and that could easily happen. I just realized the reason my wish is not being granted. Perhaps it should just be, the last day he is president. He has already stated that he stole the election with the help of Musk. In any other country both of them would be in prison for the rest of their natural lives. He is already a convicted felon who should be in prison, not sitting behind a desk in the oval office.

So maybe if I change my wish to, let this be the last day that he is president, it will work. I'm going to try it and see what happens.

Wishes

For some reason I keep thinking back to 1979 when Bing Crosby finished playing a round of golf, had a heart attack and died. Perhaps it is because Trump spends every weekend playing and has spent millions enjoying his favorite sport. He does not deserve to sit in the seat of the president after all the lives he has ruined and ended. I am not sure who he thinks he is, but this is not the role he was elected to fill.

He is responsible for hundreds of deaths, thousands being fired from jobs and having their credit cards frozen so they can't even buy food. What kind of president does that?

It looks like he is in the pocket of the man in charge of Russia. Wow that's nice!

I don't know how the U.S. will ever get rid of him, but if they ever want to be a healthy country again it is the only thing that will work. So I still wake every morning thinking this might be his last day. It could happen!

Free Speech

Wow until January 20, 2025 I thought I lived in a country that offered free speech. Everything has apparently changed.Unless your name is Donald Trump or Musk you have to watch what you say or you could end up in jail. They have the freedom to say whatever they want, but not you. If this doesn't sound right- it is not! There is no place one could could go to complain. It wouldn't do any good anyway. So I apparently no longer live in a free speech country.

Changes

According to the latest news Trump is parading around as the king instead of the president. Well Mr. Trump in America we don't have kings. Perhaps you should find a country that will accept your BS.You might try Russia. It looks like they will accept any trash. You might take Musk with you. Nobody voted for him. He is a figment of your imagination! He apparently doesn't intend to take the time to father his 13 children.

Butter cookie,no eggs

 Butter cookie-no eggs

Combine 1 stick melted butter, 1 cup flour, 5 Tbl. sugar, 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp. vanilla. Roll into balls and press on cookie sheet with a fork. Sprinkle sugar on the cookies. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Money wasted

I really hope Trump is proud of the money wasted so he could watch a football game and a car race. His fat ass isn't worth it while people starve and are forced to look for new jobs because he decided to fire them.! He is a worthless piece of shit who should be spending his time in prison instead of on Air Force 1 flights.

President duties

In my 88 years of life there have been 16 presidents of the United States. Some I didn't like too much but in all that time there has never been one who intentionally set out to destroy the U.S.- until now! Trump is doing a fantastic job, with the help of Musk. Where do you think all the money they found went? Not to the poor that's for sure. Right in their pockets! I am really sick of these two and can't wait for their games to come to an end. Enough is enough! I hope all those people who voted for Trump are happy with what they have done. Personally it just makes me sick!

A winter feast

 Vegetarian Chile

1-2 chopped onions                         1 chopped green pepper

2-3 carrots thinly sliced                    28 oz.can crushed tomatoes

12 oz. frozen or 1 can corn                2 cans black,pinto or kidney beans

1/2 cup water                                      1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

2 tsp. cumin                                        few shakes Tabasco

1 tbl. chili powder

Cook in crock pot 4-6 hours low. serve over brown rice or pasta.

No way

In my opinion Trump should still have to pay for the crimes he has been found guilty of. Just because he conned people to vote for him shouldn't matter. I find it humorous that the country will have flags still at half mast on the day he is supposed to take the oath of office I keep thinking maybe he won't. Anything could happen..
