And we wonder why?

This video shows what is happening in some of our schools. When I say socialism and indoctrination has been going on in our schools for years this is the type of thing I am talking about.

Making the child feel shame for voting for McCain and rewarding the children who said Obama. She says she allows for free choice, but look at how she talks to the children and scared the child by telling her that her Daddy will be in the war for years and years to come. The poor little girl almost cries. Now...There are many many teachers out there who do not pull this crap in our schools, but there are still many that in little ways by teaching some of the things they teach have opened our doors to being a socialist country.

And back to the guaranteed retirement accounts. If you don't think it is a real threat just google it in. ABC ran a story on it. This is in the works. They will be in essence stealing your 401's to pay for the new retirement program. After all...they did such a great job with our social security.

You really should check out Zo, Black & Right site. Now here is a brilliant man I have a lot of respect for and a much better speaker then me. His new video is great.

Well, I was going to be calm and not talk about this but when I saw this I was so mad. This should not be going on in schools. That is not what my children and grandchildren should be learning in school.

So time to meditate, go to bed. I have pink eye. Feel miserable. Just a bad week. More bad news every day. I am sad.

Work, be careful what you ask for

Well I wanted work to be busy and I got my wish in triplicate. I ran the entire night long. I didn't have very many patients but the ones I had were sicker then sick. They were trying to goooo tooo the light. I was holding on and saying Oh no you don't, not while I'm on duty.

I ended up staying late and then walking out to a winter wonderland. Not that it gave me much pleasure. Here I was 3 days ago have a nice warm walk in the woods, not snow and ice. Yick.

I talked to one of the tax advisor's and said closing my 401 would cause me a huge hit. I did stop adding to it for now. He said we should all, no matter who you voted for, no matter what party your is, write your elected officials and demand they leave our 401's alone. Taking our retirement funds is not the answer. I am not blaming this on the new president by the way. This has been in the works, but now has a good chance of being passed. So everyone, Please I beg you. Read up on it and write your letters. Seizing our 401's and taxing our IRA's is not the answer. Argentina just did that and it didn't work there, it would not work here.

So enough political talk. I agree with everyone's freedom to vote for who you want 100%. I just don't agree with your choice for Obama, but I do agree you still have the right backed by the constitution to vote for your choice. And I am praying to be wrong in my predictions. Harder then most of you can even guess. I am afraid I'm not but......

Well, that's enough for tonight, My computer has been blocked and my mouse is missing.

Meditation

Well, I am back to doing my meditation and trying to get ready for the next 4 years. Now is the time to prepare and not sink in despair.

So with that in mind we have an appointment to talk to a financial adviser about how to protect what assets I have left. I am mostly concerned with my 401 since the talk is they want to take them from you for their new guaranteed retirement accounts. I already have lost quite a bit of it from the stock market crash. I have no intention of losing the rest from government seizure. I am going to stop adding to my IRA as they are going to start taxing them and since they are doing that I might as well just keep it handy. I can save it in my safety deposit box and at least I won't lose money on it.

Other then that we have been working on a new budget. I think we will be continuing our sink into a depression and I want to see what waste we can get rid of. We dropped our gym membership and my plans on getting a new lens are on hold. I don't have TV or cell phone so can't cut any of that. We both live pretty simply. Since both my children are older we can cut way down on Christmas presents. We did however get each other a present that we may not be able to get later on so that is taken care of. And we are only going to eat out once a week. I love to eat out and hate cooking so that will be a difficult one but I am sure Rick will be able to come up with some good meals, LOL.

I start work tonight for my long stretch. I am hoping it is busy as I need to keep my mind busy. We went for a long walk the other day and I did a photo shoot. It was peaceful and restful. Then we went and shot some pool. Hitting the balls around is always good therapy. I can't change the election, but I can get ready for the fall out.




Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

What have we taught our children about this election?

1. you do not have to even be a citizen of this country to be elected president. (Kenya has made the 4th a national holiday for their native son).

2. You can lie and cheat and deceive the voters and still be elected president.

3. If you promise the voters toys and trinkets you have no intention of actually providing and you can still be elected president.

4. You can call your country evil and vile and shameful to the entire world and still be elected president.

5. if the laws bother you you can have them blocked so they don't affect you and still be elected president.

6. You don't have to have to have any credentials and you can still be elected president

7 You can spend 2 years tearing your country down to other countries and still pretend to be patriotic and get elected president

8. You can deny your faith and church when they don't look good to others and still be elected president.

9 You can allow abortions even up the day of the child's birth and refuse it medical care and still be elected president.

10. You can take the greatest country with the most freedom in the world and throw it all to the dogs and still be elected president.

I never thought I would live to see the day when America deliberately voted in a socialist. And what is sad is from listening to the news this morning it seems they were mostly just voting for a black man. If he had been a white man would the have voted for him with his socialist beliefs? Would they have voted for him with his terrorist ties? Would they have voted for him knowing full well he intended to increase taxes and drive industries to the ground? I don't think so.

I always said voting should not be about the race or sex of the person running, but on the policies he was standing for. This is a man who probably wouldn't be able to be hired for a secret service job because of his terroristic ties. But he was voted in as our President. And as President he will now be privy to all our national secrets! Because people wanted to be politically correct. Oh look how progressive I am, I voted in a black man. But did you vote in a good man?

So it is a done deal. We have another socialist president. But a much more in your face socialist. People don't care. And when the people that voted for him don't get their mortgages paid off or the new car with a full tank of gas? When they lose their job because another business was forced to close. More taxes, more separation of classes, more loss of our freedoms. And from listening I know some people had no idea what so ever what this man stands for.

So now I will wait and pray. I think it will start with a whisper and end with a roar. And we can't take it back. Pat yourself on the back for your open mindedness but kick yourself in the butt for electing a socialist and for the future you have voted in for my grandchildren and children. Personally I will start hunkering down. I will start saving my money, not going out, making do. Stretching ever nickel and dime because I personally believe this is going to be a worse depression then we have ever seen. I hope I am wrong...........

Not counting the Military vote

Can you believe it, they are not counting the military votes again. And who do you think decided that. McCain already has a lawsuit against the decision. Could it be because our military would want to defend our freedom! Demand to have your military vote counted.

I am against partial birth abortions

I am against government control

I am against socialism

I am against increasing taxes

I am against electing someone who can't show his birth certificate

I am against guiding my children and grandchildren closer to communism

I am against government controlled medical care

I am for freedom

I am for the constitution

I am for protecting the country

I am for protecting my right to carry a gun

So that is why I voted today.


How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.

35 years

Rick, being the diplomatic man that he is says I don't look any different now then I did when he married me. Nice thing about growing old with someone......they get cataracts and memory loss, LOL.

I was interested in Rick the minute I saw him. I think for me I knew already. From our first kiss to our wedding was 2 weeks. I was never so sure of anything in my life as I was that it was right to marry him.

My mom asked me if I had to marry him. Yes, I said. I love him. He sent me flowers that night.

His mother and sisters came to the ice cream parlor I worked in and scoped me out. They didn't even know he was seeing anyone. The checked to see if I looked pregnant though my MIL denied it later.

Our wedding cost us $86 dollars. We went to a justice of peace and I wore a long blue dress with polka dots. We couldn't understand the man because his english wasn't very good, but we both understood I do.

We had a small reception at his folks house and then went to a Halloween party afterward. We didn't want to miss it just because we got that married that day. We went as newlyweds. The party was great and we didn't make it out of town that night for the honeymoon so went the next day.

We went camping for our honeymoon. We had to pick up the camper at his folks and I was too shy and embarrassed to go in the house. "They're going to know we slept together", I cried. Finally Rick talked me into going in and his father nudged him and winked at me. I turned 100 shades of red.

We ran out of propane and the water froze on the 3rd night..... but we lasted another night before we got cold enough to check into a motel.

When we went to breakfast the next day I was sure everyone was looking at our brand new gold bands.

We hadn't even thought about where we would stay and rented a place sight unseen by phone. Didn't see it until after the honeymoon. Can we say low rent. It was terrible. We were so happy we didn't care.

By staying married longer then 6 months we won $600 dollars from our friends who had bet we wouldn't.

Every stick of furniture, every plate, every picture on the wall and curtain in the window was donated to us.

It has been 35 years. Not always good, but not always bad and we are both always sure of one thing. We couldn't imagine being married to anyone else. Then or now.

When I am off work we are always together........forever, then, now and always.

Lovely evening

Rick grilled some porterhouses and we had a lovely meal. Afterward we sat outside and started a fire pit. The weather was perfect. The fire chased the coolness away and the wine warmed our souls. I could see the deer wandering around in the twilight of the yard. Just a vague form. Not sure at first it was a deer. Just a shadowy figure moving in the dark yard.

We talked about getting married oh so many years ago and camping. The weather is similar now to what it was then. It seems like a million stars are out tonight and we traced planes in the sky. I could hear the phone in the house ring and work leaving a message asking me to work. Gee darn. I missed it, lol. Pour me some more wine please dear. The best thing is this evening only cost us the steak and wine. The memories will be priceless.

Isn't that the angriest cat you ever saw, and no, its not my photo but I would have loved to take a shot like that. I can only imagine the stress the poor cat felt in that house fire.

I have been visiting everyones photo journals to day getting idea's for some shots and also looking for the best price on the last lens I want. I am thinking of getting the 70- 300 IS lens from canon. I got a $125 dollar rebate coupon on it which makes it almost in my price range. I also have finally been reading my book on the camera and how to use my different lens. Better late then never. I haven't been happy with how blurry my shots have been. So much to learn. But I will.

Yesterday I was out in the yard on my belly taking shots of this cute little frog. Who knows what the neighbors or people driving by thought? Is that a fat middle aged lady laying in the yard and what is she doing? Of course no one stopped to see if I needed help. Help me I've fallen and can't reach my camera! Anyway. All these shots. I tried all these different modes. And then promptly and accidentally erased them all. AAARRRRGGGGHHHH. They would have been my best shots, I just know it.


I feel the need to get out and about today. Who knows how much longer the weather will be nice. I want to keep trying out my new camera and new lens. I want to do some walking. I want to breath that fall spicy air. I want to escape the house as I know work will call and want me to work. I want to enjoy my days off.

I work 12.5 hour shifts. Most of the time they just fly by and I am used to them. If we are incredibly busy they do a number on the ole bod but I don't mind them. Especially at night. It is quieter and you get to visit with patients without all the commotion going on. Families are usually home and the patients are catching up on the rest they need.

Just a question. Why do they get so many visitors after surgery when all people really want to do is rest between their walks and treatments. I hear so many people moan about all the company. One the one hand they are grateful they are being thought of but who wants to be seen at their worse? I make sure and nicely but firmly request no visitors when I am in the hospital. Come see after I have been home awhile and feeling better. I don't want to try and be chatty and perky when I feel so crappy.

Anyway. When I am off I want to stay off. I work a long week, I deserve a long week off. Right, right.

Well, time to get ready. Trying to adjust to the time change. I have been up since 6. Sigh. Take care all.

Peace and Love all
