Free Republic

Momto2....

....you are absolutely correct and it took your concise listing to jolt me to the truth.

It WAS all about getting Obama re-elected, wasn’t it?

Let the citizens realize this, even the lo-fo voters.

It’s the same old story ain’t it...”they came for her and I did nothing; they came for him and I did nothing; they came for me and no one was left to do anything.”

Please let American “get” this, Amen.

Anyway, if you chance to read my rant to which this is a comment for, I did not really “do” all those things I claimed to do, such as getting the Delaware GOP vice chair elected. But I took credit for it. Plus there may be some literary license.

ahem.

I just don’t know what to make of all these scandals, guys, my head is spinning.

It’s like....all that I’d been praying for suddenly came to be and I’m suspicious.

Rush Limbaugh, well you know I love Rush, but he’s just been all over the place and did you know Rush Limbaugh reads this thread?

Not that his theories are wrong but I’m not buying his theorum that the IRS intentionally “outed” itself, that this was all planned.

This IRS thing is pretty big and there’s just nothing about messing with the IRS for political gain will ever get you anywhere.

There’s a bureaucracy that needs a low profile.

Even though I’m sadly in agreement with Rush that this will not, under all circumstances, end with the media and lo-fo voters saying....”ayup....our bad, we was wrong. We thank y’all for finally waking us up.”

To that effect....you get the point.

But I know a lot about it all and watching this while messing with Sussex county I oughta get a prize.

But any damage to this administration will be minimal and I’m talking to myself as much as you might perceive I am lecturing yon reader.

Well I’m home and ready to start contributin’.

Goodness, what a weekend. Daughter, soninlaw, grandkid...all went home. Drove off in...what? Yep, Billy’s car.

What a pain in the butt, the man was my husband for 25 years, he died, I want to give my car titled in his name, to my daughter.

Now I understand there’s rules and there’s rules for a reason.

But folks they had me jumping through so many hoops that I finally lost it, there on the Georgetown circle, as I parked the Jeep and walked round and round to this building to that building to this building and back.

The right hand had no idea what the left hand was doing and, as is my wont, at some point I lost it.

It involved 31 days instead of 30, nasty New Jersey types messing with my land and enough bureaucrats to fill a cruise ship and WHAT SHOULD BE GOSH DARN SIMPLE IS A BIG FREAKING ORDEal!

Ending by, heh, a big hug from my choir mate who showed up out of the air and pulled me into her arms. I looked around at the shocked faces who no doubt wondered why would anyone get near, much less hug, this crazy woman?

I did, I looked around smug as choir mate continued to hug, I told her of nasty New Jersey people, County plat people don’t know what the hell they’re doing, discrimination due to my Tea Party rank, how I was major in getting the Delaware GOP chair elected from the heathens of Sussex county....I rocked the Circle.

And I’m not even proud of it but if ever bureaucrats and bureaucracies become alive to drive us insane it’s my simple procedures to handle my husband’s affairs and how every bureaucracy has new rules, coming from where, who knows....did any of the people I ELECTED have input into these new rules?

Aw let me shut up.

God is messing with me sometimes, He’s got plans for me and who knows, it might be Rocking the Circle....it’s better than an Angelina Jolie movie.

Okay....living rent free in my head....on to actual current events and y’all shall be proud that I have, as is also my wont, kept up to date on all things scandal.

Let me catch my breath.

Morning AB, All...

...busy, busy, busy. Going to church, Pentacost, choir singing PLUS.....

...TADA!!!

....I am being inducted on the church finance council.

so okay I was inducted last year and basically all this means is I was too dumb to get out of it.

But daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law are here so my family will hear me sing and see me honored.

;)

After we might go to breakfast but at some point we will be home and all the visitors will go home and I will back on this thread.

Thank you AB for doing this thread.

Got so many stories....I rocked the Georgetown circle this past Friday guys....moved some mountains.

I am known far and wide.

Well yeah there’s five Sussex county council people and all five of them are my Facebook friends. One I play Angry Birds with it and another I play Words With Friends.

Went to a GOP meeting, Sussex, got introduced with great applause.

Heh.

Raised hell in department of wills, member of my choir works there, she comes out and gives me big hug, folks you can’t make this up.

Nasty people behind, from New Jersey...got notice from the county that it will NOT be pursuing any issues with boundary lines. Entire county council told Plat guy to knock it off.

I told the guy, who called me by the way, THIS AIN’T NEW JERSEY YOU MORON!!!

Heh.

Rocked the Georgetown Circle I did,...living the moment.

Also, as a news junkee, I am glued to TV all week.

I know what’s going on and will tell y’all about it when I return.

Take care all.

I’m going to respond to your assertion that the Irs often settles for their original assessment by a third.

This is true but it’s very much part of the plan. They charge for the tax as they claim is owed. Then they add interest and penalties. When they settled they will kindly deduct the extra charges with the end result being they get most of the tax they think is due.

However, I’ve done payroll all my life, also tax returns. Spent a lot time dealing with IRS. MAN I COULD WRITE A BOOK.

But i never ever lost to them. Never.

All you gotta do is document their error, overrun them with words. My experience is that they give in. They aren’t half as smart as me.

Boo hoo says this Xavier guy from California, boo hoo for the poor Irs.

He promoted that awful women from that non profit section because she was a stellar employee.

Heh.

Where’s Humblegunner when you need him?

She wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal so evidently she wanted it out there.

But dag, all day, all damn DAY every news leads with Angie and her boobs.

THEN, because this isn’t enough, every celeb what had the same thing then becomes the subject of endless interviews and sheesh Louise....enough already.

You’re just not right about your assertion that America’s not paying attention to all of this.

OH YES THEY ARE!

I know, I know, he’s been wearing teflon for so long it’s hard to believe that his feet are of clay.

Just to speculate like the political junkee that I am (not that I’m necessarily proud of this)...I think the Clintons are behind all of this.

Oh no doubt that Hillary was part of the cover up...she was working for Obama. The plan was to keep foreign issues out of the news leading up to the election. Polls showed Romney losing in every major category on which most people vote...EXCEPT for Foreign policy.

And terrorism was still a major concern of the Anmerican people.

So they somehow manage to rescue Bin Laden and that was a talking point. They needed to tamp down terrorism concerns...they needed to say Al Queda’s on the run.

I’m not telling y’all anything you don’t already know...except as I see it, they had to get Hillary on board with their plans and that included not drawing negitive attention to that situation in Libya.

I think she went along, knowing as the political animal she is, that he and the Dems would owe her big time.

I think she downplayed the dangers at the Libyan embassy though she most likely would have beefed up security had this particular place not been under the presidential campaign radar. Why wouldn’t she? Hillary’s never been afraid to spend money, she’d make it into a fortress no problem if it kept her behind high and dry.

But there were reporters looking into Libya and some congress critters were visiting there. Hillary went along and assured all that things were fine in Libya...why we’re about to set up a full-fledged embassy there, Ambassador Stevens regularly apprises me of the situation there.

I don’t think Hillary liked how this was going and she knew 9-11 was coming up. Terrorism always increases that time of year cause, you know, the Muslims, they’re just so clever and think we’d figure it out.

I also think that she didn’t like the stupid thing about the video but nonetheless she set it up, an assistant found references to an anti-Muslim video by an Egyptian Muslim cleric speech and Hillary’s lost billing records in her closet, she’s seen frogs on fence posts when her faithful husband was having fun in the oval office...a video causing a riot is right up her alley.

I really don’t believe that ANYBODY expected for anybody to die that night. I think somebody at the CIA, realizing that the administration wasn’t going to help Stevens, surreptitously told those seals to go in and try to save. I even think Hillary tacitly agreed to it, I think she thought it would be ok.

It’s not that Hillary loves life and Navy seals. It’s her position as a political animal and Secretaries of State are not normally praised when their Ambassadors die on the job.

She knows this.

But it was either work it through or have it all go down in flames, all of it, the years with Bill (who was also in on all of this, of course), the disappointment for the presidential run....Hillary now realizes she will never ever be able to run for President.

No way can she survive this. Benghazi will be a number one topic of any political campaign she would run.

I don’t know how but all of this was orchestrated by the Clintons. They want to bring down this regime and who knows, probably not but who knows so I’ll throw it out there, maybe the Clintons and some of their friends (and they got plenty) are blowing it all sky high because they are really worried for the country.

Anyway, it’s my theory of the day.

Talk amongst yourselves.

I know they took him in a room this past weekend and sweated him straight, I know this.

He was told to look presidential but look somber when discussing Benghazi deaths. Toss off any suggestions that you lied about what happen, blame it on the confusion of war. Refer to the opposition who are making this political. At times, pause and look thoughtful...maybe a slight....but don’t overdo it....stammer. Knit your brows once in a while, eyes upward but not to the side....

okay...do I have the above right? That’s their guy.

Will the folks buy it?

Tell you, I still dunno...we got a media there desperate to believe that ...TELL THEM IT AIN’T SO...!

We shall see.

As I said in a post upthread, people are either going to agree with your assessment or they shall be charmed.

I am tempted to agree with you...I think he looks like a big liar but hey, I don’t like the guy, my opinion is tainted.

Alas it is the media who now pray desperately that their guy has feet of clay.

Going to go either way....his reputation depends on it.

Oh....

...and one other point....

As I type this...RUSH IS COMING ON IN A FEW MINUTES!

Excellent timing!

Just tuned in to this and I predict one of two things will happen as a result:

ONE-his charm and gravitas will convince the media and lo-fo voters that their fears that he had faults were but figments of their imaginations....

OR....

TWO-the public will despise him all the more.

There will be in-between...I think how well Obama acts the part will determine his future.

That’s my speculation...it’s what I do.

I too am most amazed at this IG.

It seems like a good system yet they sometimes villify the IG or make him seem senile.

Crossing fingers on this....NOTHING on earth could hurt an administration more than this.

I just don’t seem this admin surviving this.

I’m going to order those books right now.

thanks.

Come on....they did the infamous document dump on a Friday as is their wont for bad news.

If they planned this story to deflect from Benghazi (and much as I love M. Bachmann, she’s out of line inserting her nose in this) they would have orchestrated as if some grand and new news to digest.

This is going to hurt them more than anything...maybe even Benghazi.

But hey, I speculate.

And as hard as it is to believe, sometimes I’m wrong.

ABSOLUTELY EVERY ONE....yes even the lo-fo voters, is affected by this. NO ONE....NO ONE will defend it.

The lo-fo voters might not pay as many taxes as most of us but they all pay FICA so they understand taxes coming out of their paycheck.

NOT GOOD.

And here’s my speculation....I’m good at speculatin’....rumor I hear whispered is that Mark Levin’s extracted the IRS to have to admit they did this as reparations for the damages done by this egregious invasion of privacy.

Sheer genius but I caution, I’m speculating here.

But seriously, why on earth would the IRS come out and admit this...voluntarily?

Between this and Benghazi....dear Lord it took almost five years but those thugs have got to be known.

Also, NEXT time those liberal a**holes go claiming some shooter or criminal is a right-wing type they will look so stupid, so stupid.

Again, sheer genius....fighting the Dems by their own rules.

And hey, while I’m at it, I’m kind of impressed by Karl Rove’s group coming out with an attack ad against Hillary. Of course, the media boo-hooers are whining that it’s too soon, she deserves the benefit of the doubt.

OH NO SHE DON’T. She lies about people, she lets them die in faraway places, and further, the witch has already testified. The pubs need to keep attacking and keep attacking. They’d for sure be doing it to us.

That woman has never done a good thing once for her country. She’s mean, vicious, unlikeable, dear Lord and they’re thinking of making her President?

Forget that now, thank goodness.

I was scrolling casually around and came upon your post.

I am so glad you said it.

Cause I’m thinking, this is the U.S. military...if they knew Americans were in danger....THEY’D FIND A WAY!

To even whisper an assumption that it might not have mattered is not a good idea. Again, our side wants fair and decent. Let the left go on about how it wouldn’t have helped. Our side should keep the even keel by insisting there were ways to assist that never had a chance but for the stand down order.

So here I sit mentally composing what the Republicans have to do and boom, in one sentence you punch it out.

Republicans continuing to play by a different set of rules has brought us to the precipice. No sane person sits down to a game and one side gets more pieces than the other and so on regarding rules. Unless, of course, they agree to different rules ahead of time. In either case, no one chooses a different set of rules for no reason.

The Dems go for the throat, use the emotions, and it seems to work. It sure would be nice if Americans were the proud folks they once were who would demand fairness and some set of principles.

We've go to play by THEIR rules. Now what would the Dems do if they had a Benghazi in their hands?

Man, they'd be out there with sound bytes of sobbing Mothers and Fathers on their days, begging Hillary and the President to please tell them why they didn't send help for their sons that they too could enjoy the parental holiday as Hillary does with Chelsea.

They'd milk it for everything and it works. The pubs are going to have to play by the same rules. Hire somebody to write the scripts for God's sake and stay away from those milk toast consultants.

If the opposition doesn't start playing by THEIR rules, they must accept loss from here on in.

I mean, such a simple concept.

Countries close embassies for various dangers all the time; even the USA does it once in a while.

But they left Stevens there so okay, maybe there was an arms running operation...gun running operations have been around since Reagan at least. But they couldn't give the guy some more security? Couple of marines stand guard?

I am so incensed by all of this, this flipping the bird to American citizens....and the IRS!

I got thoughts on all of it.

I'm sitting here kind of bored

So let me get the prose flowing....I will leave for now with one thought...

Yesterday I sang at something called "The Rite of Making the Definitive Promise". In a nut shell, this is when a woman, married or not, single or not, kids or not....becomes....ahem....a nun.

So yeah, I sang at this ceremony and it was cool. But one word...a word that EVEN I DID NOT KNOW....!!!

>>>> DISCALCED >>>>>>>.

Do not look it up, that would be cheating.

I will give you a hint....this is the "Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites" and neither of the two candidates was DISCALCED.

Next.....what the Republicans should do, step by step, about Benghazi.

Heh.

So you think a congress critter, preferably Republican, should put forth a law that would outlaw female voters?

You somehow think this would serve the Republicans better?

Like I said, Heh.

This is all I care to say in the matter, those who disagree, take the last word.

It’s like Beghazi, to the end they never admit they’re wrong.

I think this silly attack on women voters makes us all look like dummies and the far right-wing retards they label us with.

Here I sit early in the morn having been awakened by some kind of cat howling brawl outside my bedroom window shortly before 6 am. I ran outside to try to break it up (whatever that cat was howling at, this was very loud and sounded vicious). I did run the offenders off but then I got scared.

One of Billy's cats, name is Lily, pretty calico girl, misses him so bad she howls sometimes at night, a painful howl, God I know she misses him, she loved him so much.

And she hates me.

Well HATE might be too strong a word; I was always the one who put ear drops in, pulled out mats....you know, the "bad" guy. Billy was her lover and it's too bad Delaware just passed same sex marriage cause soon I shall be able to marry my dog and by Lily, who is very liberal, she should be able to marry Billy.

If he were alive, that is, but hold on! I see no reason why we can't marry dead people. Give it time.

Anyway I got scared cause I couldn't find Lily; she has been trying to escape whenever I open a door...probably wants to go out and find Billy.

So there I am, outside just before dawn, all over my yard calling Lily, begging her to come home. Cause I couldn't find her in the house after the cat fight outside and I was convinced one of the fight participants was Lily.

I give up, go inside, sit down and just cry my heart out. Billy would never forgive me if one of his precious cats got out and got hurt or something.

Later on I am puttering around and out, boom, comes Lily.

I wanted to smack her.

So today it's all Benghazi and folks, this is just so bad. Hillary Clinton has never done a single damn good thing for this country. She's been nothing but a witch and a liar and brings absolutely nothing to the table, never did.

Now she lets four Americans just die? Oh I know Obamer called the stand down order but Hillary, mistress of lies and demonization, well.....see below....

As always, thank you AB for doing this thread, I, for one, appreciate it more than you know.

I want somebody, a reporter, an elected guy with air between the legs....somebody, to ask that awful Hillary woman....just ASK HER THE FOLLOWING:

"Madame Secretary, would you have let Chelsea stay at that Libyan embassy with the same security status as ambassador Stevens had?"

I watched that lying Carney yesterday and I could see those he's been fooling for some many years were getting angry.

Well why not? They've had their feet urinated upon while Carney told them it was rain.

Heh.

Their chicken select was the best chicken one could buy. Pricey though. I think this is based on cost more than anything.

With all due respect, Romney wimped out on Benghazi big time.

Can you ever just be happy?

Such an unpleasant person.

Hillary Clinton is one of the biggest zeroes to ever hit this country.

When she was first lady I remember a “lecture” she gave the then newly elected senators. She told them that if they didn’t follow the Clinton talking points that they would be “demonized”...yes that’s the word she used. Made a lot of those senators mad, God love them politicos all.

Now we can DEMONIZE her and we don’t even have to lie to do it. She is just an awful person and will burn in hell. I will smile and dance as she goes down.

I’m in!

Republicans too scared to do this but the Dems would do it in a minute and would do it well.

Okay, I will, as is my wont, tell the Republicans how to handle this.

Get some movies/video of those four Americans...maybe playing with their dog, hugging their child....something like that. Make a montage of all four of the dead guys, cute little scenes that show them doing what Americans do when not being left to die by their own countrymen.

Now, after a nice montage of video clips guaranteed to bring tears, get that awful shrill woman’s yelling...”WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?”

Make sure the video montage has the dead men’s names, the names of their dog....make it maudlin....put up short verbiage clips like what they wanted to do someday, dreams they...pay some Hollywood dude to make a great little clip. For enough money anything can be done.

All the while have Hillary keep asking over and over...

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!

Americans will be screaming for that awful Hillary woman who is the WORST Secretary of State EVER and her Obama enablers.

;)

I can forgive you for agreeing with Obama.

But liking arugula?

I do not forgive.

For now, all I can say is like you, I suspect something not quite right here.

One thing, these surveyors were lollygagging all around my property line, get this, on the day of my husband’s funeral. My son-in-law, who meant well, was out there yelling at them, telling them to go away....

Son in law, not too bright, but he was passing to me all the things those guys were saying and one thing soninlaw told me was something about “the county made a mistake”.

My neighbor on one side is taking this very serious, she was boo-hooing that it would cost her $1,500 to move her fence and she had pets buried there.

Why is she so worried? I asked her if she had a survey? She said....”I did at one time” which, I must shrug. I would never lose such a thing but I guess you never know. She did say it was over 24 years ago.

Neighbor on other side says this is all about some other guy down the street whose fence was like ten feet over the line.

Heh.

Well truth is....I planned on tearing down my back fence anyway so it don’t much matter to me if in the end it turns out they get four more feet from my backyard. It’s plenty big and less for me to mow.

I suspect, but bear in mind I don’t know much about this, that those two neighbors on either side of me were too supposed to get a survey done as their lot boundaries changed. I suspect that builder got a survey and snuck it in because I don’t think they got a survey. There’s a history with the guy who owned my house before and he was a stickler and bit of a pain. He for sure had a lawful survey done and I think those people behind me want to lessen the easement of forest they are obligated to provide.

Again, folks, I dunno. But I got me a column read by everybody in Delaware, I am a recent widow....I shall use the Democrat method of making it all about emotion.

Pics of me chained to my fence, waving my certified and signed survey around....WHICH HAS AN ACTUAL PICTURE OF MY FENCE ON IT!!!

Heh.

God does this stuff to me, serious. Cause though I write fiction, even I couldn’t make it up.

PS...don’t forget pic of loyal dog who will run off once the constable tears down my fence. She will be sad too.

HEY RL!!

I bought one of those skillets at WalMart!

I love it!

Don’t yet be flipping food around but it’s just the greatest thing, really perfect for me, now a single person wanting a meal for herself without a lot of fuss.

Folks, sorry to be late with this but just now watching Fox News Sunday.

It was Chavitz, I think, and some Dem from Mass. Y’all mighta seen it earlier.

Man, how much money or promise did they have to do to the Mass Dem to go on TV and defend Benghazi?

The lamest, the funniest....my winner for the MOST ABSURD TALKING POINT OF THE WEEK....are you ready?

Asked if it wasn’t true that increased security was requested over and over again by the Libyan ambassador, and was always turned down.....Dem from Mass says:

“Every time increased funds for security at our embassies was requested, THE REPUBLICANS ALWAYS VOTED IT DOWN”!!!

That is so damn lame....but hey, the lo-fo voters, they buy into this stuff. Not that a lo-fo voter would be watching Fox News Sunday but you only gotta reach a few.

“Don’t pay any attention to that stuff about Ben-Gazi Meghan. I heard from my hairdresser that it was the REPUBLICANS who turned down funds for more security. Now they’re trying to pin it on Obama and once again, more racism, all the time from these people.”

Tell me why.

Thanks CB.

First, I do think there’s a strategy behind what’s going on but won’t bore with it.

It’s just, dag, why on earth would the Sussex dept of land or whatever just, badaboom, send me a letter, a FORM letter, willy-nilly telling me to move my fence? Shouldn’t they check into that sort of thing?

Seems to me this guy showed up with a survey, boom, everyone involved is supposed to move their fence. I got two neighbors or more involved with this. We are ALL upset, of course.

BUT....

...here’s my secret....I talked to BOTH of them on either side of me. Seems to me that one guy once owned the plat of land that includes my neighbor to right and left. MY plat of land was somehow sub-divided from this bigger piece of land.

Both of my neighbors hemmed and hawed when I asked if they had a survey like I had, a signed and certified thing. I don’t know why, but neither of them HAVE a survey of their lot. I have my suspicions, of course.

Anyway....I shall write on Delawarepolitics.net all about it...my council woman reads that column and she’s in touch with me. You must smile, but I was the campaign finance Treasurer for her recent opponent’s campaign.

Heh.

Already I put in a blurb....”let us see how Council Woman Joan Deaver assists me in this”.

Something very strange about this and I think I am caught up in it, always the innocent I am.

God does this weird stuff to me so I will write about it.

Am watching Chris Matthews....bunch of liberals....Chrissie seems upset over that 15 year old morning after pill.

Which is just an awful judicial decision. We need to get these powerful unelected judges outta there.

THIS might be the issues that unites liberals and conservatives cause we all have children.

One can hope, huh?

Morning AB, All....

Sang at 8:30 mass, now back home.

Doing okay for the most part.

Except for those awful people telling me to remove my fence, it is on their property. Here I sit with a lawful, signed and certified copy of survey taken when I bought house, ten years ago. It has a copy of the fence and it most certainly is within my property line as surveyed.

In 2013, guy behind me takes another survey, according to their folks, my fence is in their property line.

So the Sussex county department of land or some such sends me an email and also demands that I move my fence or the “constable” will get involved.

What about MY little piece of paper saying my fence is within my line? What, some guy gets another survey ten years later and HIS is the right one? How much money are these people paying for this?

How’s this for a headline....”newly widowed woman shot by constable in a gun fight resulting from woman trying desperately to save her fence which keeps in her dog that she desperately needs in her time of griving” ?

Like that?

Do I really need this people? I spent last night head in arms just sobbing. Also, get this, both my shed and MY WELL are also on his property line....dear Lord....doesn’t MY survey mean anything? For the county land guy just sent me a note to move my fence...nothing about MY survey....done when I bought my house as the law requires. So I guess I am what.....chopped liver?

Anyway, morning AB....obviously I will fight this, but of course....and thank you AB for doing this thread.

Watching Meet the Depressed now, taped Fox News Sunday....let me catch up.

Evening all. Apologize if I missed you, watching DVR.

Well I’m sitting here laughing out loud.

Every word...EVERY word you wrote is true. OBVIOUSLY true.

And I’m not going to quote you, make yon reader go back and read.

Mr. No Lib...WHO’S going to make the case?

What elected Repub is going to stand tall and proud, tall, proud and self-secure that he (or she) is doing the right thing?

Who, and when, will they say the following:

“Ladies of Gentlemen of the Press, Citizens of the United States....

I call this press conference on behalf of my fellow Senators of both parties (say....they got Lieberman, for example, to vote with them....like the Dems call “bi-partisan”) have decided it is time to launch an impeach motion against President Obama.

Our reasons are as follows:
....insert your post here....

We have a President who has refuse to act to save American lives in Benghazi and now we learn this administration knew about the Boston bomber and did nothing.

For that inaction we have dead, crippled and maimed Americans.

We then discover that these Russian brothers were paid and supported by the American government!

This is more than our country can bear. Way more than we need bear.”

Mumbles McConnell?

THAT’S A BIGGER PROBLEM than this traitorous president and his Judicial henchman....good looking black guy, forget his name as I write in haste....

A bigger problem in that WE HAVE NO OPPOSITION PARTY!!!

That’s right I said it.

Thank me very much.

I am a bit full of myself but above, my post about victory, sarcasm added perfectly.

I never ever read the comments to my posts though each one comes into my email box.

I frankly do not care what they say....I put my post so they can argue amonst themselves. I’ll not get into a war with dolts via commentary.

I only do that on FreeRepublic.

Heh.

Okay, I apologize but I got a good smiley story that I want to share.

http://www.delawarepolitics.net/delaware-tidbits-and-politics-read-it-and-weep/

Above is a link to a post I made on Delaware Politics.net. Let me give you the background...

Delaware’s GOP new vice chair is Nellie Jordan....God Bless America!

Nellie asked me to be an alternate for her to the Delaware GOP convention held this past weekend. Before Billy died I was reluctant, mostly because my loyalty to Delaware’s GOP is shakey at best.

Nellie, however, is a friend and a fine woman. She is of the Sussex county Tea Party sort. I worked with her off and on through the years. Sometimes she goes to my church but she’s a parishioner of another church nearby.

There is a fine, fine tradition here in Delaware that when the Sussex countians get uppity and start looking to get elected to both state and party posts....well there’s only one thing to do.

Get one of the elected GOP, someone who’s got the edge on the upstarts that want to mess up our Delaware RINO good thing. WE MUST NEVER FORGET MIKE CASTLE!!!

So they think. As I think.

Heh.

They did this another guy last time ran for Delaware GOP Chair and they got one of the elected Wilmington GOP types, which is Democrat lite, to run against him.

Of course those elected guys, they’re just lending their name to the party to use it to get rid of the upstarts thinking the GOP shouldn’t be Democrat and other silly thought.

Nellie is from Chile by the way, and one of her truly great campaign points was her connection to Delaware’s hispanic community.

And she is a sweet sweet woman, called me often throughout my husband’s loss, even through this Vice Chair thing and her own son just underwent surgery.

Sure enough the nasty GOP get one of Sussex elected guys, this time a girl name Ruth King.

I used to like Ruth King. Due to re-districting she is no longer my Rep but she once was.

Don’t you know King throws her name in the ring to run against Nellie Jordan?

Sweet Nellie Jordan, here she is ready to step up and help lead the party....just the nicest person.

And God knows those elected name-lenders well they’re not busy enough doing what they were elected to do so they want to serve in the state party what hypocrites.

Anyway, I wrote an editorial in the infamous Delawarepolitics.net, for which I write and everybody reads who is anybody.

Link is above.

I was brutal.

God bless me.

ANYWAY NELLIE WON!!!!

She is the new Vice Chair of the Delaware GOP.

I couldn’t be her alternate but I’d like to think my sarcasm helped Nellie out.

;)

Morning AB, All....

....singing at 10 am mass.

Spent weekend with daughter going through all of Billy’s stuff.

Folks, I got comic books, an unbelievable stamp collection (with 18cent American stamps!)...big as a phone book, carefully filled with stamps from all over the world. Got to be almost 50 years old cause I don’t ever remember him saving stamps.

Also hundreds of LP’s.

the comic books all in ziploc bags and he already priced them on Ebay. Estimate collection is worth in the thousands.

Found three BEAUTIFUL, brand new, electric guitars. Going to get assessed at music store.

Keyboards!!! Gorgeous keyboards, huge amplifiers, speakers as big as a room.

Yes I knew these things were there but Billy had three rooms plus a closet in the garage that were his alone. I seldom went inside.

I ALWAYS complained about the “stuff” he had piled in closets.

Gonna have a huge flea market....got three 33 gal trash bags filled with clothes that HAVE NEVER EVEN HAD THE PRICE TAG REMOVED!!

Gorgeous clothes.

Just unbelievable....and there’s more.

“Talk” at you all later.

I dunno....Amber’s no Celine. I thought some of those notes were stretched a bit too far.

Frankly I think Angie’s going to win this.

Kree has the better voice but Angie’s all over it with beauty and style.

My thoughts of the moment....

BTW, I have barely been popping in on this thread so if I repeat the already known please forgive.

But guys...I think Nikki Minaj is a pain.

Mariah Carey isn’t much better.

Randy’s “Yo dawg” has grown old.

And the other guy, don’t even know his name, is boring with a capital “B”.

Gimme more time and I’ll tell you how I really feel.

Evening SJ....all.

I should thank those of you who so kindly sent condolences re the recent loss of my husband.

So far I’m doing ok. It wasn’t totally unexpected.

At any rate, thanks again, especially you SJ...who followed up with me and that was so nice.

But I’m here and life goes on.

At times I can even laugh.

I am impressed.

Thanks so much to all condolences.

I have, by now, lived every day of a week without him. A normal day that is, not the frantic funeral and viewing days or the foggy days after his death.

Today is the last such day, this Sunday that I cook, watch the Sunday talk shows and work this thread.

I carefully assessed each day, how it will change without Billy.

I used to go to the grocery store on Weds. for example. Well I don’t need to even much go to the grocery store save for milk and stuff. I’m the sort that goes to BJ’s and buys in quantity. Which takes care of pets.

On Thursday nights I go to choir practice. Billy always took care of the dog those nights, made sure the light was on. I left the dog alone in the house, nervously. I lock all the doors at night, something I could always feel safe that Billy did faithfully. Had to lower a few blinds.

I’m adjusting, I’ll be ok.

He was determined, just determined, to never be put in a hospital again. Yes I had the medical people on the phone with me much of the day. Billy said no to doctor office visit, no to ambulance, no to any oxygen which they were going to SEND DIRECTLY TO MY HOUSE!

I’m not going to say I didn’t know how bad it was. But I didn’t think it was so close. It wasn’t until a fretful weekend that had me feeding him Ensure and running to drug store for Mucinex cause I thought he had a cold.

He knew what was happening. He handled it well.

The evening before the morning I found him gone, I finally went to bed, exhausted. I knew he was dying, in fact I told him he was dying.

“We shouldn’t talk about this,” was his response.

I asked him if he wanted to die at home. “YES” he shouted, shouting with a whisper as he could barely breathe.

I was tempted...so tempted. It was torture. I couldn’t call his family....they knew not a thing. What could they do? Why add to their distant torment? My daughter was with me...via telephone...that whole day. And the medicos.

The night I left him he still knew my name and who I was. He was getting dates mixed up and he didn’t know the dog’s name. He was fading, I knew it. I feared more than anything that he would totally lose his mind, that he wouldn’t know who I was, who he was.

It’s one thing for HIM to refuse medical aid. But with a lost mind I’d then be in charge. I’m just not so sure I could have avoided calling for help.

He bid me good night, said to stop worrying, I was nagging him. He told me he loved me and would see me in the morning.

I said my prayers that night. I told my God that I didn’t think I could go through another day like today.

It is said that God does not give us more than we can bear. I found Billy dead the next morning at 5:30 am.

He looked peaceful, he appeared to have been in no pain.

Anyway....that’s the end of it.

And don’t go calling me “special” or wonderful or exceptional.

All of you take a long look at that person you most love in life. Doesn’t have to be a spouse though that’s more appropriate. Consider if they were suffering from lungs that didn’t work...consider your beloved was making the correct decision for them, indeed as most of us would make.

Every one of you would do the same thing and so did I. I’m not particularly special but I did pass the test.

It was tough but he smiles down on me as he finally breathes cool, clean air denied him the last few months here on earth.

I’ll be okay.

I also heard that Jane Harmon and Whinestein are introducing a bill to ban pressure cookers.

If they can’t ban them, cause owning pressure cookers is allowed by our constitution, they want to limit the amount of nails a person can buy to put into a pressure cooker.

I used to live on a farm oncit. We used pressure cookers to can vegetables.

I can’t imagine how those two managed to carry a pressure cooker around ready to explode in a backpack.

She pissed me off with her gun control nonsense.

Billy’s not here but he’d have walked over to my kitchen perch and complained about that b**ch endlessly.

So I shouted out to the emptiness...”Come here and try to take my gun you” , insert bad name here, I shouted.

There’s is no limit to how much I despise these politicos and their silly gun control laws. I see the Senate got some sense knocked into it.

Here in Delaware they passed a really stupid background check law. A local Republican VOTED FOR IT!

I will do everything in my power to get him kicked out...take to bank.
