FIRST ADMENDMENT … LIKE IT OR NOT..

FIRST ADMENDMENT … LIKE IT OR NOT..

The founding fathers gave us several amendments. The first two were the most important to them..  Freedom of speech was listed as #1. Freedom to own a gun is #2.. (well, freedom to bare arms.. I think is the words..)

With the Jimmy Kimmel … like him or hate him … makes no different, why he said it.. it had to do with Trump’s age difference from his wife.. He had no clue what was going to happen 3 days LATER.. at that dinner. . So unless you believe he is a prophet, you have to believe what he meant. He said it 3 DAYS BEFORE the big dinner. What he said, granted,  was crude and rude.

But the court is really in your home.. who controls your t.v. set?  Who reads the paper or another media?  YOU DO.. No one forced you. So if you  hate the likes of Jimmy Kimmel and other who are comedians.. DON’T   WATCH IT..  DON’T READ IT. That is your fault.      There are now hundreds of different channels .  you can scroll by facebook or internet pages.

In the name of comedy, anything can be said..  doesn’t have to be true.. it can be warped, bent and etc..  and truth went to the way side since Nixon’s days..  to even go to court to sue for slander or definite of character is hard to do.

And if they say…  IN MY OPINION… well that erases truth as you might know it..   as it is their OPINION and they are entitled to that.. just like you are..

And for those who want to break the 1st Amendment   … remember the next one down..  could fall with it as well.. if not before.

It is going to be a long 2 years.. and may the system hold tight…     AND VOTE.. this is mid term voting.. it is the start of what to look at in 2028.    And if you don’t vote.. keep your mouth shut.. you didn’t care enough to make changes.

HOW MANY BBQ'S ARE ENOUGH

 My husband the King..  has a huge smoker type bbq.(he loves cooking his brisket in that) ..                      he has a pellet stove...   and he thew away his Webber away as it rusted out last year..   And TODAY...  we went to Home Depot... just to see what regular BBQ  are running..   I hate the phase...  "lets go look.. just looking"   

Because today..  we came home with a two burner Webber (his favorite) ... for cooking just for us... 

By the way when we have family over for dinner last week.. he cooked with his pellet... BUT he forgot to add more pellets...  needless to say..  dinner was late.. and our son will pass the story on to the other boys..  lol...   And that was one of the selling points...  You see the pellet stove takes too long to get to the heat you need to cook..  (well... pellets  in the hopper.. help..lol) 

 So once again.. we have 3 BBQ...   so how many does your husband have?

IT ISN'T ABOUT DYING... IT IS ABOUT LIVING..

 It isn’t about dying… it is about living…. 

You can chose to live or die the rest of your life… You have the choice to live until you die.. or sit and wait to die.. not much fun in that… but sure is when you chose to live until you die..

When I was a cna many years ago..  we had a lady come to our place..  turn out to be one of my co worker’s sister. She had just lost her husband a few weeks before..  she had been sick and getting weak.. so she came to us. Health care Center..  better known as a nursing home in the old days..    She was grieving as she had taken care of her husband in ill health for 5 years.. and now he was gone..   One day she seem to be pretty low..    I was asked to take her to the dining room.   She could walk, transfer herself.  But was weak, as she wasn’t eating well.    I was putting on her socks and shoes before she got up into the chair.  She was telling me that she was going to die.. she knew it.. I’m  next. I asked why she thought that..  she didn’t have an answer…  So being the blunt person that I am..   I told her, you know.. you have a choice.. You can live until you die or you can chose to sit and wait to die..  it is up to you..  she said, yes, I suppose so….   I asked how old was her mother when she passed..  she said in the upper 80’s..  She was 63… so I told her.. you know..  you might have a long wait if you sit in your chair and wait to die.. … she looked at me, like I was crazy.. And we went off to the dining room..

I went on vacation the next day… for week..  I came back and walked by her room and saw it was empty..  I asked her sister.. where is she..  she said she is gone..  I told her … I guess she was sicker than I thought.  So sorry for your lost.. The sister laughed..  and said no…  she isn’t dead.. she went home yesterday..  I said oh, good.. good for her..   Then the sister told me the message her sister told her to give me..  “Tell, Cis .. I am going home to live until I die.. and for starters.. I am going to do some travelling that I have wanted to do for years..”   The sister told me thank you .. for what ever you said to her.. by the way.. the sister passed. But the patient one lived for 8 more years..

So you see, we do have some control over how we live …. Or die…  So it isn’t about dying.. it is about how you live..
