I'm not big on following my family traditions mostly because I follow the traditions of where I am at - at the time. Traditions are different and I seem to like most of them.

On New Year's Day I think I will cook Mom's traditional meal which is supposed to bring in money, success, prosperity, good health and I forget if anything else. I have to have her tell me again what all it is but what I remember is cooked greens, black eye peas, pork (I think) 12 green grapes (one for each month) - I forgot what else. My daughter who has only lived in Florida follows my Mom's tradition. I've been so non-traditional that I can hardly remember any of the other traditions from my friends. Then Mom can take some to Dad and they both get to celebrate one more family tradition.

I know one thing I don't have to worry about anymore is hang overs. If I ever did have a tradition it was to not party so hard on New Year's Eve. Now I sleep through it.

As long as nothing bad happens in the next five days - I get to close 2019, my first year of retirement, feeling totally blessed with time to enjoy what I worked for since I was 15. Sadly it was a very hard year on my parents.

good morning cs community.. wishing all a blessed day ..

Death of infants seem to be on the rise here in Belize, the USA and other places.

The dads are physically beating two months old, eight months old babies to death by multiple cranial fractures etc. ??

Parents are you crazy ?
What can a newly born defenseless baby do to you so bad ?

Why go and copulate in the first place ? They did not ask you to bring them into existence.

Government what will you do to these wicked parents who are of well sound mind but just have the Hollywood pretense and find multiple silly reasons to do these sad things to these babies.

Drug addict parents give the child to a family member of sound mind or to the government rather that harming the child on your cocaine high.

It's so sad and I feel it for these children.


All countries should give lethal injection or electrocution to all parents who willfully kill their children.

KILL AND BE KILLED !!

In my million dreams, I never dreamt to be in this place. I had to be confined in a place where, nothing could quenched my thirst.
Yeah, I was so thirsty that I could not be relieved with any beverage. All I needed was alcoholic drinks.
I was a hard drinkers for two years, anytime of the day, I got drunk looked for a fight.
I could still remember at about 8:00 am of July 12, 2005, I was lying on our couch with my youngest son, when my cellphone was beeping , messages notification. I did not mind as I was sleepy from a night work, and thought it was not that important, otherwise it was a call. Then it rang, I picked it. It was a police calling on the other line, telling me my husband got accident and they brought him to a nearest hospital. When he mentioned the hospital, thought my husband was not that serious as it is, a small hospital with no facilities, good only for first aid. But hurriedly i went. I dropped by at my office to take some medicines with the thought my husband would need it, and my sister was so hysterical , as she also received a phone call from the police station. I supposed drove a van but she said it would be safe to have a PUV as I had no sleep yet. While we were riding in a bus I was praying the Lord's Prayer. And the phrase, THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE was so emphasizing. When we reached the said hospital, there were lots of people there, including my husband's relatives and our friends. I saw a man sitting near the entrance of the hospital, he was with my husband riding in that motorcycle. I asked what happened. He just stared at me. One of our closest friend, told me.."Gie be strong, look at the sky and ask Him for strenght." I replied , what are you talking about?, I don't like your joke"". I went directed to the Emergency Room, with the thought my husband would still be there. But a nurse stopped me. I was almost mad, when the doctor came out,, and told me, "Mrs. be strong, I am sorry, but he is gone". I felt I was so writhe . The place of accident was deserted and none came to help. The driver who side swiped run, did not helped them.
It was the hardest time of my life. Thought it was the end of the world for me. How unfair the world was. The next month was supposed he scheduled to return to work as a sailor and supposed it was his last contract , and will no longer work overseas, as we talked that things was quite difficult for me managing a 3 chained business, so we supposed concentrate on our business and be together, and thought of having time for each other.
Since then, I turned to alcohol, which I never tasted since I was small. I wanted to feel strong with alcohol. I let my husband's remain in our house for 3 months, which most people, thought, I was out of my mind. But the fact that, I could not accept that he is gone. He might caused a lot of stressed in me as a good looking man attractive to women, a chain smoker, and hanged out with neighbors with drinking sessions. But he was responsible husband , never forgot to tell me am beautiful, never forgot to have that compliment everyday....he cooked for me whenever he's home and the love he had for me as his wife and his children and a lot more...
Since then, i became, a person that would easily bite. I decided to be away for a while, took a break. I left my business with my sister, as I was worst, I could not understand the mistakes of my employees.
I went away, got associated with people, enjoyed what they did . Like gambling and night life....that happened in two years. Just to realized I got but little cash in bank, my cheque started to bounced back. Bottom line...I went stray...totally lost.
My two feet brought me in a BIG Jail ..
The first year, I could not be here. This is a real Jail for me,no alcohol, no beer houses, no gambling , cockfighting...
But turning around, looking at people around me, thought,if they were able to stay..I could do as well. 11 years of being here is an accomplishment .

I hope to find a confident man who knows and understands what makes him tick after everything he has been through at this point in his life. One who has learned from it and wants to apply it to a new relationship. One who knows how to communicate and isn’t afraid to be open and honest. A sense of humor, sincerity, loyalty and being a romantic would definitely be a plus.

...Sure, the blood testing, and ruling out of the underaged, or of close cousins, (except in places like US Appalachia), make some sense. But we license just about every other nanny state confiscatory taxation generating activity, except parenthood. Want to cut hair or trim cuticles? You'll need the paperwork, ma'am. Severe measures to ensure compliance, with state rules on entrance to the role of parenthood, including mandatory surgical sterilization, welfare amount adjustments, tax policies, fines/prison time, etc. Biomarker controls. Assessments of requisite parental groundedness and financial abilities, and perhaps more, needed for the tickets. Mein Fuehrer, wir muessen es doch vermeiden, dass unsere Untermenschen ihre eigene Kinder haben duerfen. Who said that?

I saw an article where Ivanka expressed her desire for her father not to run in 2024. It's been hard on her and Jared as their personal lives still require security. Media follows their moves and they don't enjoy the continues stress of questions by news asking about their future. It's kind of a "Just leave us alone, we want to return to a more normal lifestyle" sentiment.
Melania is right behind her with the same sentiment.

What a wonderful feeling to end a day full of Love. Dad turned 90, Mom, all my siblings came together at an Italian Restaurant even both my kids drove a 100 miles to be together, 15 of us. My brothers got Dad out of the rehab facility for 4 hours. Lots of love and laughter. Dad had it all together today, sense of humor and all.

The question is will he remember it tomorrow? Probably not but maybe. Anyways there are hundreds of pictures now on FB to show him when we visit and to revisit the memories every year.

What a great ending to a day.

Caught the Royal wedding this AM, and while hardly a royalist, enjoyed the show, and seeing this nice socially active couple. But I was saddened to see that the bride had only one member of her family in attendance, namely mom. Gossip media bring up alleged big family issues on dad's side. Of course, historically, and present day, hard to beat the British Royals for treetop family dysfunction, with some notable exceptions. They should clone the Queen Mother. Aa-V.
