Has Xmas gone yet

Greatgrandchildren are not what they used to be!

If you have Echo Alexa

Amazon has just introduced Ask My Buddy Personal Alert ⨁ Network
It was the most needed function.

All of us are alone sometimes and we can't always reach our phones or press a button to get assistance. This is why everyone needs Ask My Buddy cause you can't predict when you'll need help.

If you have fallen, or need help, Ask My Buddy lets you immediately alert someone in your Personal Alert Network that you need them to check on you. You may alert just 1 contact or all of your friends or family with just one command. Simply say, 'Alexa, Ask My Buddy to alert YourContact' or 'Alexa, Ask My Buddy to everyone', and Ask My Buddy will immediately send an alert, notifying them to check on you right away. Alerts will be sent by text message / SMS, an email, and even a voice telephone call. Ask My Buddy is not a substitute for 911, but rather an additional tool offering the security of knowing help is just a shout away.

The gift question

My children each year ask me the same question. After thinking about it, I decided I'd give them my real answer:

What do I want for Christmas? I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your kids around someday, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion, ask for my help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever. Tell me about your job, your worries, your friends, their kids, your students, your fur babies. I want you to continue sharing your life with me. Come over and laugh with me, or laugh at me, I don't care. Hearing you laugh is music to me.

I spent the better part of my life raising you the best way i knew how, and I'm not bragging, but i did a pretty darn good job. Now, give me time to sit back and admire my work, I'm pretty proud of it.

Raid my refrigerator, help yourself, I really don't mind. In fact, I wouldn't want it any other way.

I want you to spend your money making a better life for you and your family, I have the things I need. I want to see you happy and healthy. When you ask me what I want for Christmas, I say "nothing" because you've already been giving me my gift all year. I want you.  

Dear Santa

More glurge ahead, unavoidable!  t'is the season.

Climate Comments

I thought the following comments on FB made a lot more sense than the ultra-wealthy climate deniers Trump team:

Mr. Trump may not know it, and his cabinet may not know it, but the debate about climate change is over. - Bernie.

The following are just folks' comments:

They just want to make as much money as possible while they are still alive. Who cares about the future?

Science deniers should be denied everything science has provided, the modern world.

It's like he's putting together a cast for a SNL parody or something!

Good thing we don't need clean air and water to survive. Can't wait until they realize that they can't drink oil nor eat money.

Has anyone else realized that each of these people are not only unqualified for the role they have been selected for but are basically an opposing force that will most likely dismantle whatever dept they are in.

I am a proud new citizen of the Republic of Ameristan, the newest member of President Putin's Russian Federation and pledge my allegiance to Generalissimo Trumpo and his fine and loyal team of enforcers. You see, everything worked out for the best - we needn't have worried!

Corporate Welfare for Publix

When Cerabino is good he is very very good.

"Our Legislature thinks help for the truly needy is an extravagance we cannot afford, but corporate welfare is a pleasure."
Look at preventative dental care for poor kids in Florida, less than 1% of FL budget state administered medicaid program goes there.  Next to WORST in whole USA.
But State of Florida will give Publix $3.5 million of your tax dollars for expansion, as well as an additional $700,000 in local incentives to expand.  Was this expansion of Publix really contingent on a tax break.  Florida has 1,000 new residents per day + tourists.

HOW MANY RESTAURANTS ARE DOING THIS?

A friend and I went out to eat for Thanksgiving three years ago at a first-class restaurant in the Wellington Mall and again this year at a good restaurant on Okeechobee Boulevard. We had been previously to both restaurants a few times and been served delicious meals. For the Thanksgiving turkey meal at both places, however, what we were served was the pits. The white meat was some kind of processed meat from turkey breasts and was on the dry side. At one establishment we were told we could have only white meat OR dark meat, but not both! Of course we resolved this by one us ordering white meat and the other dark. In both instances the dark meat wasn't that good, and neither were the stuffing or the gravy! A veggie conglomeration LOOKED good this year, but alas, it was tasteless. About the only good thing this year was the appetizer soup and the cranberry sauce. I know this probably isn't being thankful, but . . . .

Have any of you had like experiences when ordering a Thanksgiving turkey dinner? We want to know where one can eat out on Thanksgiving, but we'd also like to know where NOT to go! I could do far better at the Carving Station on Route 1 in Lake Park. It's a buffet, definitely "old Florida," and a half-hour drive from here, but they carve actual roasts right in front of you,  and their meals are delicious—about $14 a person plus beverage and dessert.

What are those Safety Pins

I wear my #SafetyPin to show I am a safe place. I will protect those who are treated unfairly because of gender, race, disability, and individual beliefs.

'As reports of hostilities against various marginalized groups following the election of Donald Trump to the presidency continue to emerge, Americans are calling on each other to don safety pins on their shirts to indicate to others that they are an ally. While it is regrettable and sad that we have seemingly reached a point where it is necessary to indicate to others that we stand by them and respect their rights (as opposed to it being a given), it is comforting to see Americans taking a stand to make sure their fellow citizens feel safe and secure.

The initial idea for pinning a safety pin on one's shirt to indicate you are an ally to anyone who feels threatened or marginalized stemmed from a similar campaign in Britain that took place following the Brexit vote to leave the European Union. The vote helped spark a substantial number of xenophobic attacks and abuse. In response, the safety pin campaign was started on Twitter as a way for fellow Britons to easily and publicly let others know that they are a "safe person," an ally for anyone feeling threatened or unsafe.'

President Obama Permanently Protects Planned Parenthood

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/09/13/stroke-pen-president-obama-permanently-protects-planned-parenthood.html  

As has been the case throughout his tenure in the Oval Office, Barack Obama took unilateral action to protect women’s constitutional rights from a rabid and toxic religious Republican attack on Planned Parenthood.  
The bottom line is that theocratic Republican states can no longer even vote to defund Planned Parenthood just because some of its clinics offer abortion services.

Thank you Obama.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES - AN EXERCISE IN WASTE

-

42% Waste

          So, I told you that I belonged to a group called: Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW). Well the CAGW sends me info on Government waste from time to time. Yesterday they sent me a note regarding where the money goes for each $1 we pay in individual taxes.

42-cents goes to wasteful, inefficient and outdated federal programs.

26-cents goes to pay the $407 Billion in annual interest owed on the national debt.

32-cents goes to pay for the services our government was founded to provide.

What a Great Country

Get a cuppa at the beginning then listen to the whole thing. Uplifting, moving, this will make you feel better than anything else.

I wish I could find the whole text, but here is a preview:

Since her first speech Michelle said she was “so humbled” by the response, a torrent of letters from women sharing their stories, parents demanding better for their children and men saying such behavior is unacceptable.

“This kind of courage and decency and compassion, this is who we are,” Obama said. “This is the America that I know.”

Michelle attacked Trump for what she described as his utter insensitivity and contempt toward women, people with disabilities and other members of society, saying that Trump “doesn’t understand us.”

“That’s why he sees veterans enduring the wounds of war as weak. Why he insults Gold Star families, folks who’ve spent months praying not to get that knock at the door. Heroes who love this country so much, they’re willing to die for it. He just can’t see them.

“Maybe it’s easy for him to mock people with disabilities because he’s unable to see their strength and their contributions. Maybe that’s why he demeans and humiliates women as if we’re objects meant solely for pleasure and entertainment, rather than human beings worthy of love and respect. He just doesn’t understand us,” the first lady told a crowd of 6,907 at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Michelle Obama full speech

Thank you Michelle Obama for opening up the conversation for women who have been the victims of trumpish/ man babies/ abusers for many past years. 
We women are now beginning to discuss our experiences and shedding some of the anger, frustration, powerlessness we felt.

My children and the people I know in CV are caring, respectful adults. 

One more thing for us all to do - go and VOTE.

R U Still Confused

Hillary Clinton LIES LESS than any other politician,

Donald Trump LIES MORE than any other human anywhere.

Has to be noted

From 10/8, 2016 By Allen Clifton

Look, I’m no mental health expert and I’m not involved in the medical field at all. But based on what I’ve read and can plainly see about Donald Trump, he exhibits nearly every characteristic linked to a sociopath. 

• He: Doesn’t believe the rules or laws apply to him. 
• Seems to have no concern about the consequences of his actions. Is impulsive. 
• Shows frequent signs of being reckless. 
• Is unpredictable. 
• Lacks morals. 
• Is a narcissist.
• Has proven to be hot-tempered and a bit of a loose cannon. 
• Lacks empathy or sympathy for others. 
• Is manipulative to get what he wants. 
• Almost never apologizes. 
• Often invents outrageous lies about his success or experiences. 
• Seems to believe that what he says is the truth, even if it isn’t. 
• He is essentially the textbook definition of a sociopath. 

However, despite the fact that he exhibits all of these signs without shame, millions of people support him.

Trump is a man who has:

This is a man who has:

Mocked a man with disabilities.

Attacked the parents of a fallen American hero.

Belittled POWs and the war record of Sen. John McCain.

Lied about how much money he raised for veterans.

Called a former Miss Universe “disgusting” and fat, telling his Twitter followers to find her non-existent sex tape. Accused an American-born federal judge of being unfit to do his job because of his Mexican heritage.

Likely avoided paying taxes for nearly two decades.

Called most Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, even though that’s not remotely factual.

Lied about seeing “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey on 9/11.

Lied about getting a letter from the NFL complaining about the debate schedule.

Tried to exploit the death of an African American woman in Chicago to say that’s why black voters will support him. Found the “bright side” to tragedies because his poll numbers tend to go up.

Settled with the Department of Justice after his company was found guilty of racially discriminating against minorities.

Has cheated on at least one wife.

Was just discovered on video admitting that he not only tried to cheat on his current wife, but he attempted to do so with another married woman.

Had his first wife publicly say that he did nothing when it came to raising their children until they were old enough to talk business.

Tweeted that women should have expected to be sexually assaulted when they mixed males and females together in the military.

Said he wants to target the families of terrorists.

Stated that he wants to ban an entire religion.

Praised a Russian president who obviously hates the U.S. and Americans.

Encouraged the Russian government to commit espionage against Americans.

Insinuated that another Republican’s wife was ugly.

Tried to implicate another Republican’s father in JFK’s assassination.

Sought out the help of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes after he was fired following multiple allegations that he had sexually harassed women for years.

Made Breitbart’s Steve Bannon one of his top campaign people.

Had a former campaign manager abruptly resign after a report came out linking him to pro-Russian groups that were directly trying to undermine U.S. policy in eastern Europe.

Called Carly Fiornia ugly.

Has said climate change was a hoax created by the Chinese — then denied saying it.

Was a leading conspiracy theorist when it came to the racist-driven birther conspiracies against President Obama. Dismissed nearly eight years of accusing the president of not being an American with a less than 30 second statement where he didn’t apologize for any of it.

Tried to blame Hillary Clinton for his racism.

Re-tweeted anti-African American propaganda created by a white supremacy group.

Played dumb about knowing who former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke was.

Skipped a presidential debate because he was scared of a moderator.

Has, on several occasions, suggested he finds his daughter attractive.

Called a husband doing things like changing diapers and helping with the children, a man “trying to be the wife. ” Has said he wants more countries to have nuclear weapons.

Said he can’t release his tax returns because they’re currently being audited — even though the IRS said that’s a lie.

Feels he has the right to sexually assault women.

Bush Cheney Emails

http://occupydemocrats.com/2016/10/10/trump-wont-mention-bush-cheney-deleted-22-million-emails/
While Trump obsesses over Hillary Clinton’s e-mail “scandal”, one wonders why the he never mentions the Bush Administration and the April 12, 2007 revelation that the White House had “lost” 5 million e-mails related to an investigation into the partisan firing of eight U.S. attorneys. Eventually, the true number was found to be over 22 million e-mails.
