Conumdrum....

Senior and I have been laughing all day about Assads 11 year old Son punking out Obama on Facebook today.

With the UK withdrawing support and now Germany. It puts POTUS in a conumdrum of sorts. Now he has to attack so he doesn't look like the weak leader the world knows him to be.

I can't wait to see how this plays out.

Will He or Won't He?

the DRUDGE head line is "Brief and Limited"  Well see...  

Either way, this does make for a cool pic.. 

I Really Hate It When...

The TV in Seniors "Man Cave" goes on the blink. And he is in the living room commandeering my TV.  Then I can never watch any of my good shows. Because He has sports on.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE football, Baseball ( whoo hoo Atlanta Braves--avoided the sweep! )  and NASCAR (-when they are not going around an oval..I like the road courses.)
And, I am the commissioner of our Fantasy Football League. Women are the fastest growing demographic in fantasy football, this year I am happy to report that we have 5 female owned teams, and 5 boy owned teams..Therefore we named the divisions Estrogen and Testosterone. Whether you like football or not, it is still fun to play and fight for bragging rights. This year I am awarding an actual trophy, so there is more of an incentive.

The boys ( and I use that term loosely)  are all ready running their mouths about who is going to take home this years championship trophy. They assume we girls belong in the kitchen and are going to end up making them a big "Roast Beef Sammich" as it was told to me yesterday.

It is turning out to be a real battle of the sexes. It is incomprehensible to some of them that we girls have taken over half the league. What these boys don't realize is that 4 out of 5 of us , are seasoned Fantasy Football players, and the one who has not played, is a football fanatic in her own right and loves her LSU Tigers. Many a day last season she and I chit chatted about what teams did what on Sundays, she was anxious to join our league.

The one man ( not Senior) but still a retired Senior Chief is the one with the loudest mouth.He is the commissioner of our Fantasy Nascar league--a league that currently Yours Truly , yes ME -JUGM is leading. So, yesterday during our football draft I politely said:  " If you run your football team the way you are running your nascar team, then you will be an easy win for your opponent"  It was met with lots of jeers and LOLs

The "Man Children"  have drawn the line in the sand  and we Ladies have crossed it . We have torn off our aprons and burnt them in effigy, we have thrown down the rolling pins, and have printed out NFL stats, and watch daily on who to play and who to sit. A sleeping giant has been awoken, they opened the door, now we are going through it...

Time to put the men and kids to bed girls and go out for dinner! 

Yea! that is what I am talking about!

If your not paying attention...

Then you should be!  I can't handle a "fluff" post today. There are too many more pressing issues that have me angered this morning. I drink my coffee and flip through the headlines....
More evidence of the "divide and conquer" strategy that is being carried out by Obama and Holder.
And more silence from " civil rights" leaders, like Sharpton and Jackson.
Thousands of senseless murders in this country and why are only a handful labeled "hate crimes" ?

The Double standard is alive and well my friends...

If Obama had sons would they look like those in the gang that carries his name? 

Stay safe out there, I feel there is a powder keg about to explode.

Red Sky in the Morn....

Sailors take warning......

Even at the early hour of 645 am, I could see it out on the horizon. The clouds moving in off the ocean.
As I left to drop the kids at school, the first few pelts of rain started, then came the thunder.
" oh boy, another wet morning" I told the boys.
ND looked out his window and noticed a rainbow....

By the time I got home, it was pouring, literally training in off the Atlantic.The local radar was red and dark green.
 Gosh I love Florida weather...

Even the dogs knew it would be a lazy morning:

 

 



Finally a break in the rain, Senior has stopped calling so he must be back at work. It is 11:30 and I feel "unaccomplished". I did however manage to rebuild NDs, Lego Police Tractor Trailer Truck that the puppy demolished last night. If he had seen the mess she made, he would have been devasted- Gosh I am a good Mom.  Thank God I have the fortitude to keep the little instruction booklets.

Piles of Junk mail to go through and shred. Actually I wish for just one big bon-fire. How does all this add up so quickly? 

More clouds, with the promise of even more storms....

Obamacare-ASaurus

 You never really see the  horrible effects of something until you can talk to those folks who deal with it all every day.

This morning, I had a doctor’s appointment to discuss some of my meds.
Last Wednesday was my yearly “lady appointment” I explained to my doctor what my wishes were.
She told me I would need to make a separate appointment to discuss the matter. I kind of left out of there scratching my head as this had never been said to me before. But, I listened and did what she asked.

Which led me to this morning, I was talking to her nurse, who was asking me all the same questions they did last week. I asked "Why was I having to come back just for this"?

In a short and unhappy way she said “ObamaCare” and shook her head.

The mere mention of that dreaded money eating, democrat dinosaur monster, burden on the American people brought shivers to me.

She went on to explain “See ,we can no longer see a patient for more then two problems at a time, Insurances won’t allow it anymore, and then there is the whole new coding issue, if we code something wrong then it won’t get paid, and a bill is sent directly to the patient. Then the patient calls us irate”.

I just stared at her and listened further “Mrs. X  it is a huge mess, we even had to adopt new software to handle all the new codes for this monstrosity, therefore last week, since you were here for your yearly physical and lady exam, we could not address any other issues you were having, those were your two health issues, anything else needed a separate appointment”. 

She elaborated more, “This whole issue is costing more to the patient then what the American people were told, We had to buy new software- that cost was past off to the patient, now people are having to come back repeatedly to have health issues addressed, and having to pay more out of pocket co-pays, And some of those co-pays are upwards of $25-40.00. It also burdens the patient in making them come back again and again..   A lot of people are going to start suffering in more ways then one”  

“Wow” I said. “ You hear about the negative effects of it all the time, but it doesn’t hit home until you can see and hear about it first hand from a health care provider” I said.

She agreed then left the room so the doctor could come in.

I got placed on a new medication, and drove home thinking of the conversation with the nurse. For some reason a line from the movie “Jurassic Park” came to mind. It is one I like to refer to in times like these:

“Some of the worst things imaginable, have been done with the best of intentions”

-Dr. Alan Grant, Jurassic Park

Democrats thought Obamacare was the answer and would solve this countries health care problems. Only it is a complete failure and costing us more and more every day. Plus full implementation keeps getting pushed back . if it was so great, then why keep delaying it all?
It is much like a man eating dinosaur, in that it is eating its way through the health care industry, and this economy.  The same people who are going to suffer the worst, are however the ones who voted for it, they are the ones who think Universal health care was a right.- They wanted it...now live with it.

What do you do When...

The moment you have waited for 3 years finally arrives? This happened to me this morning.

 I Was out for coffee with friends, when I look across at the Chick -Fila counter and there she stood: The one person that ruined my entire scrap booking life.

It is a long and sorted story, basically I confided in "DC", about a private issue with our scrap book leader aka “Mama Chick”    She gave me the advice that If I was having a problem to go talk to Mama Chick about it. " You guys are such good friends..it will be okay"  So I took DC's advice...boy was I wrong.

 Little did I know that DH had called Mama Chick, embellished it all and made it something it wasn't.

 

 After that I was considered “catty” and shunned from their inner circle. My feelings were hurt. I thought these women my friends…  I know had they been real friends, they would have never treated me  that way, and I would have been asked my side of the situation. I would have been given an opportunity to defend myself.

  “Mama Chick”  also blocked me on her Facebook, deleted me from the group’s yahoo page, and turned her entire family against Senior and me. They live across the street, every day is a constant reminder. Once we were friends, any time she needed something I was there to help out. All that gone now.
I have tried to make amends, I have tried to talk to her.. She won't have any of it. She doesn't even  acknowledge my or my families existence.

So, for the past 3 years, all I ever hoped for was this precise moment: To confront the gossiper-DC. To let her have a piece of my mind. And here it was delivered to me on a silver platter.

I got up, to get a coffee refill, I thought of what to do. My hands were shaking. I felt weak in the knees. My cheeks flushed. I sat my coffee on our table and walked to the restroom, Her back was to me. As I past, DC 's husband looked up and whispered.

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, refreshed my make up—No way in Hell was she going to report back that I looked crappy. I looked at myself, and grabbed the edge of the sink, and prayed to God for guidance.-What should I do in this situation Lord?  Her gossiping hurt deep. Those women won’t talk to me anymore, much less even look at me, all because of her evil tongue.  I confided in her, trusted her with a private matter and she betrayed my trust.

I have waited so long for this moment, I had it all thought out in my head what I would do, or so I thought.....

Then the voice said “Hold your head up, walk past, without acknowledging her, you are the better person”

 That was it?   I don’t get to confront her?  "I don't get to done my booty kicking shoes and let her have it" ?
Then I said “okay God, you know what you are doing”.   

And that is just what I did.  I walked slowly past, my head was held high. I did not look to the right or the left, just straight ahead. 

And for that, I  know and understand that I was the bigger person. She was expecting me to be "catty" and make a scene.  But, I proved her and the rest of the witches in my former group wrong. I gave her nothing more to gossip about—no reports on how “catty” I am.  If anything it would be how fabulous I looked. 

 

  I was so extremely proud of me.

And with that I smiled a confident smile and went back to the table with my real friends.

My friend “K” asked if I was okay. Her little 2 year old daughter climbed in my lap, and hugged me.

“Yep, never better” I said.
