The race is on…. But not today
I have been on baby watch for about 10 days… This
will be our 19th great grandchild.. (I see I need to
up
date my front page).
The due date is actually the 13th… and for a while,today
We thought it was going to be a go, as we head to the
hospital. But everything
came to a screeching halt.
The kid… said.. “no way jose”…. Lol… So we are back
on watch again. I do
the daytime Tuesday thru
Friday, as everyone else works on those days.
So back to square one …kind of .. the baby is
dancing but he isn’t ready to appear yet.
By the way, it is the craziest thing… do you know in
our area, you can’t sign up for registration, UNTIL
the baby is coming. If it
is night time, you go to the
ER, but if it is daytime, you go to the registration
desk. While Mom was in
pain, she did make it thru
all the questions and sign off on all the papers.
You know… if I go in to get my leg amputated.. I can
give you the answers you need… and sign the papers.
If I am going to have my tonsils taken out, I can
talk to you, and sign the papers.. Or any other procedure.
But I am here to tell you.. from past
experience of having
been pregnant 7 times… there
is NO WAY IN HELL, I
am in any mood to talk to you, give you information, or
sign papers… you will be lucky to get my name.. and you
will be lucky if I don’t question your mother’s heritiage,
and a few other words that no one wants to hear
in a hospital lobby where the registration. And I won’t
be whispering. Had to be man who came up with that
policy change.

Bernie, Bernie, we thought we knew ya...
So Bernie Sanders has thrown in with the witchy woman???....
How sad… so sad…
So sad for those who believed in him… Those who stood in
The rain to see him… those who stood in all kinds of
weather to be able to vote for him in the primaries.
So sad for all those voters who are 18 to 28 who for
the first time believed in the man… that they counted.
How many of them … won’t vote in November… figuring
what is the use… things will never change… They thought
Bernie would have made the difference.
Why didn’t he stay? He
said he was in it to the end.
Did he lie? He just as
well, as slapped all those who
believed in him…….. too bad he didn’t believe in them.
After all, what would have been the worse that could
happen? To go to the
convention…. And let the vote
go…let those stand up and yell his name? Let those
delegates sing his praises and name to the rafters?
What was the harm? Sure
the vote would be lopsided.
But who cares… the peoples votes counted… the people
who believed would have understood, if he conceded
after the first vote… But
now? Why now?
And why, oh, why, did I think it would be different this
time? Why did I think he
had a back bone? Because at
the end of the day…. Politics is always the same..
Sadly..
Bernie, I guess we didn’t know you at all…

What a difference a hair cut makes...
I was in yesterday getting my
finger put in the socket
again, after having straight
hair for almost a year..
Putting one’s finger in the
socket is a slang way
of saying getting it curled.
After getting all the rods
put in, and then the
solution put on, I offered to
sit in one of the
back seats that wasn’t being
used on the other
side of the wall. So the gal
could cut hair or what
ever while we wait the 35
minutes.
In walked a young man.. who
had long hair. I would
say at least a foot long on
all sides… while he didn’t
look sad, he didn’t look very
happy either.
The other gal started on
him.. and I had changed seats.
When it came time to rinse
out my hair, I stepped
around the wall, to see the
young man with a short
hair cut. About inch and half on top and the sides
real short. And a slight grin on his face as he looked
it over. The gal finished up and then washed it for
him.
Then the real grin started..
He looked great. We all
commented on it.. I told him that not only it looked
lighter, but he looked
lighter.. I looked at my gal, and
said.. look at the grin on his
face.. Then he really smiled.
What a difference of the hair
cut… The old didn’t look
bad, just this one looked so
much lighter..in his soul.

Life in the USA....
Life in the USA makes
blogging harder…
There is no good news on the
media of late.
With the shooting in Florida, the police
shooting of the blacks, and
the blacks
shooting the police.. it is
hard to be
happy.
Even though none of these
things are
even close to our home town,
it still
makes it hard to be happy and
write
a lighthearted blog.
In my personal life, I have
some ups
and downs.. We have a good
friend who
just went thru open heart
surgery and
he will be going home. As the
King will
be going down to help him. He
made
it thru the surgery just
fine. So that is good.
And at home here, we are on a
baby
watch for our great grand son
who is
due on Wednesday. So for us.. we have
happy news.
