WHY

Posted byTime Traveler of LifePosted inUncategorized

There are so many Whys in our lives—many more during this administration?? than we ever had before.

Every organization and group is soliciting us hourly for donations of $5, $10, $25, or more to combat the terrible people who have been elected to run the country and protect our environment! They are doing such a great job making sure that we and our once great County continue to circle down the drain.

I personally get 20 or more emails from our newly elected Senators and Representative asking for donations to stop the terrible things that are happening. Really?

You were elected and aren’t you receiving a sizable salary “to do your job?” and didn’t you shout that if elected you would do wonders and shit marigolds? So far, marigolds and your personal bank account have grown, but my personal income has not. However, prices at the grocery store have grown in comparison to your insistence that you need even more $$ to do your job.

I just deleted one today that gave the names of at least 5 Senators and Representatives that stated I have been solicited 5 times and why haven’t I responded? And wondering why I am not fulfilling my obligation to give until it hurts.

I would like for them to get up off their lazy asses and FIGHT for the country, and little old me.

I wonder why any other solicitation for money for any organization has an “unsubscribe” button that works! Nearly ALL political solicitations have them, but they DO NOT WORK! I have unsubscribed on some a dozen times, and right behind it is another email begging, and some of them are downright insulting! AND YOU CANNOT RESPOND TO ANY OF THEM! I get it! You only want money, not my opinion or concerns.

I wonder what happened to all those BIG Republicans who were shouting how they were not only backing Kamala but were voting across the party lines???

I am probably just misinformed and do not have the mental strength to understand the political game because of the misfortune of being born a female.

I am retired and damned tired of the “same old thing!”

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear one politician tell the truth?

I was a Realtor for close to 30 years, and my Motto was: Do the right thing, because it is right! I was never sued, and no one ever looked the other way at the grocery store.

Here is a silly idea. Politicians, why not try that motto on for size?

It might be a snug fit, but you will sleep better at night!

Biography Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die. I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect? Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing. My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda. Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated. I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.” I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class. After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome. I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.

  1. I feel this. Having attended Sen Schumer’s organizing webinar to fight healtchare cuts, am disappointed in his budget vote. Mutual aid is the way to go right now, get out there and volunteer, even if underground.

  2. I am more than disappointed in his and the other Dems vote! I am recovering from a stroke. I have most of my mobility back but haven’t driven much. We will have to resort to Bartering and helping each other. Those of us who have been poor will know how to make a penny stretch.
