My niece and nephew are expecting their 2nd child... due around the end of this month.
Their 1st child, a girl will be two years old next month.
The second child is... (drum roll) a boy!

Appropriate to have a Hurricane baby on Labor Day weekend.

Finding a nice used vehicle for the twins. Being a car guy, can inspect and purchase right. Girls seem to love car. Has one of those AUX inputs---what the hell is that?!?! In proudly describing it to their mom, she hit me with a litany of reasonable negative cautionary statements, and I didn't react well. Pride comes before the fall, as tha Bard said. Girls gently mentioned that I could have been more diplomatic with mom. Apologized fortwith. Tail tucked firmly between legs. The art is long. But am slowly learning, with a little help from my friends.

That's each of your children, grand children and any other living offspring. You think anything the government hands out is “free?” It’s not anything close to it. Everything they do costs twice as much as it would if done in the private sector and they spend like drunken sailors shoveling piles of debt onto your children and grandchildren as they go hoping you won’t notice until it’s too late. What do they care? It’s not their money they are spending… it’s YOURS.

That’s the amount owed by every citizen of the United States for all the “free” things that have already been handed out and promised by the federal government. It doesn’t count the additional free things that the Democrats are promising which will multiply that amount to around $9,000,000 for every man woman and child citizen of the United States. That’s right, EVERY man, woman and child will owe the federal government around NINE MILLION DOLLARS if the Democrats are elected and hand out all the “free” stuff they vow to hand out. And it also doesn’t count what you owe to state and local governments.

The Democrat’s platform is a bankrupt your children and grandchildren plan plain and simple.

Good luck, your kids already owe almost a half million dollars each that they are going to have to pay back in tax increases. Want to go for 9 million each instead? Vote Democrat.

One by one, he's keeping them. China, jobs, economy, Korea, etc. Now he says he'll do something reasonable on guns in the wrong hands. Watch him. But his latest act is to begin reinforcing a law that has been part of immigration policy for decades, until partially reversed in 1999, mostly by dems. And by a few wussified others, so affraid of illogically being called racist. Now immigrants must not be on the dole too long, or it's back to the hell holes from whence they came. Just hope he would also reinstitute the effective Sponsor system. Our great President Trump. MARA. Make America reasonable again. Just watch the country hating---vote pandering moonbats piss and moan about it, and begin law suits. All go to the SCOTUS. Imagine that. Hardy har har har.

I saw my second gator in the canal across the street from me this morning while walking Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. It was about 7 feet which is still a juvenile but big enough to munch on my dog in one bite. I followed it up the canal until we got to a bridge then the creep went under the bridge and didn't come out. I know animal control was called last time but not sure if they found it or even if this is the same one. I doubt it though.

On an unusual note my son texted me that he was so angry that he could Not look at or talk to his wife because she shaved her head bald while he was at work. I tried to calm him down, asked him to send me a picture but he said, "NO I can't even look at her and Mom you know the one thing I love about a girl is her hair" my heart felt bad on one hand for him but I hadn't heard her side yet. Who knows he may have made her mad and she did it out of spite, then I couldn't blame her.

This morning my daughter texts me to say how mad my son is at her and she sent me a picture. BALD, skin bald but I still love the heck out of her. She said she did it twice in China when she lived there. I asked if that was a Chinese thing and she said nope it is just her thing. She likes it easy and besides she is starting to get grey and doesn't want hair color because it is not healthy.

I'm not meddling in my sons family. Houston we have an unusual situation here. I'm not getting involved in how this marital dispute will play out but I hope they keep me informed. Until I wrote this blog I didn't realize how funny it is now. I have to say I give kudos to my daughter-in-law for being her own woman. Now she also has leverage for the future once her hair grows out.....she can threaten my son if she catches him eating fast food she will shave her head.

HEY GUYS......I AM BACK
how you doing,its been a long time haa....hows you all my old friend.....specially Namaron????
hows you man????

I've been away from blogging for quite some time due to just having too many other things taking up my attention and time.

Deciding to deactivate my facebook account so I can spend more time getting stuff done that I've procrastinated on is a good thing. But, here I am. Hmmm...

Lots of things happening these days with a request for three calendars this year, plus the book that the First Nations publishing house wants to publish, before Christmas. I'd best get going on it.

The reason I find myself back here is to vent a little bit. Those that know me know that my relationship with my daughter hasn't been the best. Not that I haven't tried to have one with her, just that her abusive b/f is bound and determined to keep her away from me. He's succeeded, too, embellishing stories and assumptions, which she seems all too willing to accept.

I did hear from her near her birthday. She wanted me to go to a local tack store to find out how much a certain girth was for my horse, which she has and is riding. I thought, why don't you just phone? But I know the request was her way of trying to get me to buy the girth and send it to her. Well, I've bought enough tack and equestrian stuff for her over the years, I wasn't prepared to buy anymore. Anyway, I did check, and there wasn't the girth she wanted, so I told her that, and sent her some money for her birthday.

I heard from her on Mother's Day, and received some house plants in a basket. They were lovely and I thanked her, but I want house plants like I want to have to pick up after someone else. I'm terrible with houseplants, and would have preferred just cut flowers. I didn't tell her that, just thanked her for the lovely arrangement.

That's the last I've heard from her. I don't phone her due to her scheduling. She usually phones me when she's on the road, and doesn't tell me her b/f is with her and listening. As a result, nothing much ever gets said. She never asks me what or how I'm doing, and if I tell her of a health concern, she'll tell me something about her b/f - like 'big deal, who cares, Mom?'

At the end of May, her Dad moved in with her. Well, that's been a dream of hers since he left, I'm sure. Her idol daddy who has never done anything wrong finally living with her. I'm sure between her Dad and her b/f, the nasty stories about me are abundant. What's so stupid is I haven't been with her dad for over 30 years, I'm not the same person I was back then, and what the heck does it matter anymore? But I still get the 'my dad said this about you', 'my dad said you did that', and I think 'so what?' Does he tell you what HE did to elicit that? Does he tell you he's a lying, abusive guy that puts on a nice guy facade to everyone else? Of course not!

So I haven't heard a peep from her. Not one word. Then I see on facebook, that she's posted a photo of two trophies she's won through her work. The won the National Championship for the commercial vehicle safety enforcement competition, and the Driver Interview. She's the first woman to win the championship and will be going to Pittsburgh to compete internationally.

Did I get a phone call saying 'hey, guess what Mom? I won!' Nope, not a freaking word. I had to read about it on facebook. So I didn't even acknowledge the post. I didn't congratulate her or anything. She can't be bothered to tell me, I can't be bothered if she's going to treat me like I'm one of her faceless facebook friends.

A week later, and still nothing. And now, there won't be. What's she going to say? Oh hey, I won the championship. Oh great, nice to be an afterthought. The person who drove her all over hell's creation when she was younger, with her horses, and gave up everything so she could attain her dreams, and what do I get 'my dad paid for everything'. Which he did not. It galls me no end, when that is STILL thrown in my face, and it's so patently untrue. (cont in comments).

The night before last Mom didn't answer the home phone, assumed one of the siblings took her to see Dad. Then yesterday morning again no answer to the phone. Went over, her car is there, house empty but bedroom is locked (she locks it at night when she is home and whenever she leaves the house) She didn't answer the cell either.

My mind starts to think she had a heart attack in her sleep. We start to rush to the facility Dad is in when I decided to ask the siblings on Facebook - does anyone have Mom? Baby sister answered, "I took Mom to see Dad" YAY Thank you. I'm on my way to see him too.

Not sure why my mind went to the darkest place first but it did. Thankfully since baby sister is 12 years younger, she is more addicted to FB. She does everything from her watch which is as strong a computer as any cell phone. I ask a question and get the answer within 60 seconds.

It is good when your darkest thoughts get turned around.

A friend of mine has been having a right whinge about her daughter-in-law using her as an on-tap babysitter without so much as a by-your-leave. Her DIL is now throwing a strop because my buddy (who has a full-time fairly stressful job) said no when she was told she's going to be looking after 12 year old granddaughter plus two schoolfriends from straight after work Friday through to Saturday afternoon. Both of them are furious with each other.

And I'm cringing because I remember when I was first setting up my function catering business and working 60 -70 hours a week I asked my mother to collect my daughter from school umpteen times, keep her overnight umpteen times, and I took it completely for granted that I could ask.

In fact when I was going out with friends for my first social evening in about 4 months and my mother complained that I was being selfish, I was really indignant. Didn't she realize this was my first time-out in months ...

(I'm so sorry it took this long to see it from your point of view. I'm so sorry that it's too late to say I now understand.)

So this blog is for those who give and give and give again

Those who take and take and take from patient friends, family, loved ones: say thank you. They may do it willingly but it's no buzz to be taken for granted.

I'm disenchanted with America's favorite pastime. No, not baseball. I'm talking about meddling. If it's not Iraq, it's Iran. If it's not Libya, It's Yemen. If it's not Chile, it's Venezuela. And so it goes...

I'm thinking of changing my Facebook status to un-american. I side with Russia in regard to violations of the so-called Monroe Doctrine. What a crock of sh*t!

Sammie is not my favorite uncle anymore!

In fact, I think "Uncle Sam" is a F'n pervert...and always was.


F'k you, Sammie! I'm following in Trump's footsteps as in we're not paying-in one damned dime (in taxes) toward your depraved, carnalistic...
*Briinngggg*

Eh, I got a phone call from Trump's lawyer saying that I'm being sued.
