This is a huge pet peeve I have . It's about people who think scarring the crap out of your baby and makeing it scream and cry is some how funny? Well it's Not! Don't you realize the brain is developing and verry fragile in a baby and small child. You go around doing dumb shit to make your child cry and then wonder why they developed mental issues . I am really keeping this as clean as I can but it's so hard. I'm so full of anger and sadness because our society has fallen so far. I pray God gives me the grace to keep love in my heart for mankind. Trash me on this if you wish and I will only ask God to bless you.

I saw this post by my grandiva the other day on FB and because I'm so proud of this my wild child granddiva - I'm going to share what she wrote. It may mean nothing to you but it moved me. Long read but goes fast: Imagine what this was like for a young person: It i a nice tribut

I can’t even begin to explain the crazy journey I’ve been on the past few months. When I got the CJO from Delta I started selling everything I’ve worked my entire life for. I moved out of an apartment I was sharing with a friend who turned out to be more like family. I left my steady income to head to training, 6 days a week for 6 weeks. I didn’t know if I would surpass all of the Delta standards & have a job at the end of training. There was a few times I was nervous that I was in over my head.
During training Covid-19 started happening around the world. We had classmates with friends and families in the hot zones. We watched the news every morning as this developed around the world and seeing our future job cancel flights to the places we’ve been dreaming to visit. It felt far away since we were in own little bubble in the training center. I think all and all I left the training center 5 times in 6 weeks.
It seems almost over night Covid showed up in our backyard. We felt the anxiety and panic of the world creeping in more and more with each passing day.. one week the airports were full and the following they turned into a ghost town.
Our company had to make some really tough decisions and getting our wings was one of them. My hearts goes out to the classes behind us that have to wait to get their wings now. You worked so hard and I can’t wait to see you in the sky! Stay positive, those wings are coming.
My class & I were fortunate enough to get our wings. Even if we’re taking a leave (1-12 months long) or not flying as much as we would like. The goal was the wings & I feel more than BLESSED to wear them proudly. I’m a Delta Flight Attendant!! I’m honored to work for a company that puts safety NUMBER 1 consistently. Every flight I feel safe regardless of the situations going on around us.
I’ve had the opportunity to be apart of a bigger picture. We’re transporting items that are critical for hospitals. As a team we’re delivering essential personal from point A to point B. We’re getting people home who have been stuck in other countries for weeks. We’re continuing to connect the world & do our part for humanity.
I’ve had the most intense, uncertain, and REWARDING few months of my life!! I’m not sure what the days, weeks, or months ahead of me will contain but I’m SO happy to do it with my crews and company. Here’s to the future! May it be full of good health, adventure, and optimism.
I wanted to give a very special thanks to the humans that have gone above and beyond to make sure I have a bed to sleep in, all safety precautions I need, and food in my belly. My Father Rick has been working endless hours of overtime to make sure I have everything I need!! I couldn’t thank this man enough for EVERYTHING! My Aunt Carol has pushed me and motivated me everyday. My Mother Michelle has been a great support system and I miss her dearly during this time! Savannah in Atlanta & Raiden ave been so kind letting me stay with them and helping me get adjusted to this lifestyle.
Ayla took my little chunky cat baby Luna in since I wouldn’t be able to take care of her, thanks for loving her and spoiling her! I appreciate y’all more than I could ever put into words. THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!!!

Ha ha my son left his 12 yr old son with me for a week. I haven't watched a boy child in almost 50 years. When the divas were little I was younger and still in the working force with much more energy or patience than I have as a retiree. I was a bit scared at first. The family left ALL the Christmas leftovers with me since my man child eats a LOT. That actually does my heart good is having a good eater in the house since I have to fight with the tiny furball to eat, she hates to be bothered with eating.

So far it's been fun. I give him an early morning chore and when he is done he can do anything he wants all the rest of the day. Mostly he wants to game, which gives me time to game. Him on the comupter and me mine. Then we watch a movie together. I get to enjoy his laughter. At dinner time he cleans his plate, that makes me very happy. Also nice to have someone to cook for.

He also talks my ear off but I can deal with that, harsh as it is. Crappy Pandemic keeps me from taking him places so we are stuck in the house with each other. He begged to stay with me which makes me feel mighty special.

One day my son texted to tell me to make sure he joined a zoom program for learning and I said No Way Jose - I'm not a practicing disciplinarian, I'm just a Nai Nai that gets to spoil her grandchild and I"M loving it.

I'm only 3 days in - hope it keeps going this well. Today I'm going to teach him how to play backgammon.

After 10 days treatment at a big hospital, Finally, my Dad's heavily pheumonia (both his lungs ) seemed under control. The next step before me was; to take him back to that nursing hospital or take him back home with me? According to his current weak body situation (he unable take care of himself), I knew clearly that my duties in the future days... after calculating my abilities of caring and other uncertain affairs would be happened. My wish to fulfill his desire(back home) guided me making this decision at last:take him back living with me.

After a long distance travel, last evening the 120 took us back from Pudong to Puxi and after one night rest, this morning he knew that he was at home and felt happy. I could feel that from the way he looked at me and his smiling. The familiar surroundings, my face, my voice, my touch and everything can comfort him I know. I am still his dear daughter though he was away from home for more than a year and a half .

In short, the family affections are more than anything else I don't want him feel alone while walking on the last journey of his life.

Mom & Dad had their 64th anniversary yesterday. Baby sister talked the care center into letting Mom and her offsprings to come see him through the glass. Lots of signs were made saying things like WE LOVE YOU, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, PLEASE EAT, et al.

There was double doors, we could go through one door into a little cubicle about 4X8 which we crowded into with are faces pressed up on the glass doors into the care center where they wheeled my Dad to on the other side. Every single one inside and out had masks on. The most fun was watching Mom say and use her hands to show Dad over and over how much she loved him. At one point we had a countdown and all screamed at once I LOVE YOU to Daddy.

I kind of felt we gave him a flash mob of love. For my MOM it was a joyous joyous day in the midst of this crazy virus. We know the care center has covid cases so we all are quaranteening ourselves for awhile, keeping fingers crossed to.

real love ………………..

It was just confirmed last night that I have a Son and 2 Grandsons I never knew about.

First of all I am adopted and have since found both my birth Mother's side of the family as well as my birth Father's side.

It started when my half Brother Keith (Father's side) called me and told me according to Ancestry.com I have a very close relative who thinks he is my Grandson. I looked at my DNA relatives and saw where in DNA strength the Grandson's strength falls between 4 of my half siblings and 2 of my half Nieces and 1 half Nephew.

I called the Grandson last evening and asked him to look at his DNA relatives and see if he not only sees Keith, but also sees Bruce, Lisa, and Karen, all on my birth Mother's side. He said yes. They all are 2 generations away from him. His Father was also adopted and I spoke to him (my Son) Sunday.

I have never been married and until now have never had any known children.

Ain't life grand ?!?!

My Dad was a proud man all his life. As a Father he was a hypocrite who taught us do as he said not as he did. No one is perfect. He loved the family and we are a large loving happy family.

Last year after a few accidents I bought Dad a box of Adult pull ups. It is probably the only time ever in my life that Mom got mad at me and rolled her eyes into the back of her head because I insulted Dad's dignity by buying pull ups. I told Mom I would give them away but at least take 3 in case Dad get's sick in which case, he loses control.

Two months later Mom called and asked me to order more, they prevented the mess from accidents. Still he did not lose his dignity in full. Now after being in this rehab facility for five months, he has virtually no dignity left. He has been in Adult diapers (I didn't even know they made them) and has no problem with anyone seeing him in them. The disease strips one completely of their dignity.

In my mind, I've already lost Dad. He may recognize me when I enter but forgets I was there ten minutes later. Soon he won't even know me. The worst part is that he sleeps 22 hours out of a 24 hr. day. That is no life, none, nadda, asta la bye bye. If he would have known this was his destiny he would have taken himself out last year. If death with dignity were offered here, one bro and myself would vote for him to take it, however the rest of the family would consider that blasphemy. They want him alive whether he is gone in his mind or not. When Dad was young he was the same, his Dad was in a dead coma with a strong heart and my Dad kept pounding him to keep that heart beating for as long as he could because he couldn't let go.

He has good insurance so the doctors will keep him alive most likely for years to come. Maybe it would be a good thing if he didn't have insurance. I would never dream of letting one of my dogs suffer, as much as it kills me, and it does, I put them down when they are stripped of a quality life.
