First.. the debate. Holy sh*t. Really? Almost every one of them sunk right down to the low depths we’ve seen in recent years. Nothing new. It actually looked like a comedy act. I was looking at that line-up and said over and over again.. really??… Is that ALL ya got, Republican America??….. *sigh. As much as many people LOVE that Donald Trump is railing against the machine we’re all coming to distrust and maybe even hate – He’s not coming up with ONE SINGLE ANSWER for the many major problems we face. Not one. – I talk to people all over the world all the time, I am the great deal maker, I think I can get along with him! I would talk to him! I have great people, great teams, She’s ugly, he took money from me, I went to her wedding because she asked and for business sake I did it! I will build a great wall! I am a builder!!…. Please. Please…. just shut up and go home. So glad Walker had the good sense to go home. Huckabee is too religiously emphatical . He’s a preacher, not a President. Fiorina, well I had hopes…. but if you read into her true story, she is a bitch with a capital B and a liar. While a little backbone and a strong woman in office is appealing, that kind of Bitch is not what we all want in office for four to eight years. Disagree? Ok, if after you’ve read her full history and yes, the lies being told, you still want to stand by her, you go ahead, it’s your right after all. And hey, she’s not the only one lying.. they all do it! To be fair. Christie is hated by his own New Jerseyites, and he’s a thug, plain and simple. Rubio – I kinda like him until he starts his warmongering crap, then I think I really don’t want his finger over the nuclear war buttons. Carson – nice guy! I bet he was a heck of a brain surgeon! Doesn’t have any experience whatsoever in this field, and wants to defund planned parenthood, and that’s just stupid on so many levels – so… yeah. And I just don’t think America is going to elect another black President right at this point in time. We weren’t mature enough to do it the first time and not much as changed. Jeb Bush – I don’t think he’s a bad guy, surprised he wasn’t the one back when George 2 was elected. But the whole lot of them is more of the same, I truly believe it. What a zoo. Actually zoos are filled with animals, who have more integrity. Not a fair comparison. If you disagree with me on any of this, I have no problem hearing you out in the comments below. I understand this is just my view and your points may be valid. Just be kind in your delivery. Speaking of which…..
My Dad. Well. His insurance (Medicare) has done a fine job of covering his needs up to this point and I hope that continues. His issue is – he’s in a very nice rehab facility now where they are treating him well and monitoring his condition but can’t really do much with him as far as rehab goes because he’s got that dang 20 percent heart function. He’s realizing it ain’t going away and the idea of going -home- where he lives alone, just probably isn’t going to come to fruition. Since I am the only family member willing to deal with his -issues – I am left with the difficult conversations to have with him, with the health care providers… with the chores that come with his needs at this point, like doing his laundry and feeding his cat and doing his banking and cleaning his home and visiting him regularly and buying him this and that and those things too, at reconciling the not-so-awesome relationship I have with him …. (literally every time I walk into his room I am chanting, be kind Karen, Be kind.) He said to me yesterday – Jeez, I think this is probably it! It’s over. And I said.. well, you’re still here, and you have all your marbles. You look alive to me, so you have to decide what you want the time you have left to look like. It’s your decision if you will make the best of it or let it take you down. We’re talking about nursing homes, and I’ve had to look into what title 19 will require. His few assets will need to be turned over to the state. That’s another ugly conversation I am not looking forward to. I keep asking myself, are you being kind, Karen? In your delivery, in your tone of voice? Because the sad reality is it’s not easy for me to be kind to him. And that’s not a great feeling inside of me. Still searching for a way to let that go… been trying for years.
*sigh… I had more to say but that’s enough to digest in one morning, don’t ya think? None of us really needs more rants, we need blue skies and palomino ponies. Just that.. are ya in?… let’s go.
