So the other night I was cruising the internet, and this title caught my attention"people you are stupid"
So I stopped to read it.
It talked about we already have the cures for all major disease. And to give money to any of them is a waste of time and your money.
I was like WHAT? So of course I had to read on.......
The person who wrote this said think about this if you will, think of our president our congress well for that matter any government official do you ever hear about them getting sick with major disease? NO YOU DON'T!!! This is because they already get the cure for anything they could Get sick with. Now think about this why does our presidents need secret service after they leave office......1) so they can keep reciving any medicines they may have gotten while in office to keep their health so no one ever finds out. And 2) so they never disclose that these cures exist. Then when they are up in age where it is more approperate for them to get sick n because of age die sooner then they no longer feel they are a threat.
Now this got me thinking....could this be true?
And so off went my thinking.....and trying to cruise to see if I could find anything to back it up. I found nothing plus I lost the artical which I read this.
OK now here is my news........today I got a tablet! I am having fun learning how to use it........BUT I should have gotten a keyboard!

Any time now Enough is Enough.
Below zero.....kids home from school.......bundle up so you don't freeze.....when the hell is it gonna end?
We don't have a lot of snow maybe about 3 feet. But it is so damn cold. colder than I can remember and I remember a lot!
I am NOT one of those people who go around saying I remember when I was a kid I had to walk 10 miles to school in 30 below and 8 feet of snow. LOL no that would be my dad. Now granted I don't know for sure if he ever had to do that, but he sure like to make that point a lot because I would ask him for a ride to school and my school was only 1 mile from our house and I could have walked or even taken the bus. Well except if you had ever been on our bus you'd know why 3/4 's of us walked! our bus driver was a manic. she would pull out in front of on coming cars and say well now they better stop because I'm bigger than they are and the bus will do more damage to their car than their car to the bus and crap like that! and then their was a guy who drove it before her and he would leave his pipe in the bus and she would toss it out the window and say stinky shit. so disrespectful! Plus she liked to see how fast she could get the bus going from one corner to the next then slam on the breaks!
So most of us walked rather than ride with her.
So asking dad for a ride in the winter got you a long winded story about how he had to walk to school in worse weather than what was going on that day!
He always gave me a ride but I always got a lecture too.
Dad had his rules:
Dont drink, Dont smoke, Dont swear, Dont have sex, Dont get pregaunt while in school. Funny thing was he was giving me "Bock" beer when I was 12 so dang there went that one! and the swearing well....I did but not around dad till I hit 15. The rest I did really well on I never did smoke and the sex waited till I was 18 same with getting pregaunt. I was 19.
I wonder what dad would be saying about all this cold weather? I know he would have some answer to why. He always had an answer. it might not be right but he had an answer!

I think every thing is going to hell
You know we see more and more about people going off the deep end and going out and shooting up places and killing innocent people. and everyone blames guns.
Then you see things like nurses who are stealing drugs to either support their own habit or to sell for big bucks. Who do they blame? the drugs and a lot of these nurses are put back into the system and are still working.
Now today I read something that turned my stomach so bad that I hope to hell that I NEVER EVER LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BE IN A NURSING HOME.
The nursing assistants are abusing the residents. WHAT?
I remember when I was a nursing assistant. I was there to care for those who could no longer care for themselves. I took pride in being able to do for them what they no longer could do. In fact I was embarrassed when I had to wash a man's private area. I would say something like "ok I'm going to wash your family jewels now ok? Some would laugh at me others were grateful I didn't just grab and start washing. like some of the other girls did. In fact I was requested more and more by the men and women there because I was careful and because I was embarrassed and because I RESPECTED THEM!
That was the big thing I RESPECTED THEM! at all times. it didn't matter how far into their dementia they were I still respected them. I would talk to them as if they were still with us.
My feeling were these older people were people who went before us. They knew of harder times than I will ever know. and sometimes when they had good days they told stories. it didn't matter to me that they thought I was their daughter or granddaughter I listened and sometimes cried.
I RESPECTED THEM I honored them.
So to know that there are people out there now who are abusing residents bothers the hell out of me. What are these people thinking? and for gods sakes what are they getting out of it?
I know the frustrations of changing an old persons diaper and being upset that it was icky. But it was part of my job and I knew that going into the job.
and I also knew about those with dementia being combative and can possibly hurt you but you know that going into the job as well. SO if you already know this and this is why you are now hurting them or abusing them then God help you! Because I knew and I accepted it and when something got to be to much I asked for a quick break and walked away because I cant blame them. They no longer know what they are doing. and those who do don't you think its an embarrassment for them to have a young person change their diaper? don't you think they would rather die than live like this? But they are still here because God hasn't called for them yet. And they have to rely now on you to take care of them and they don't like it any more than you do. But if you have compassion and respect for these folks you can make it through the job. But to Abuse them NO NO NO.
I hope I never ever have to live that way. I hope God takes me long before I need to live that way. I pray for that.

1st guy) well hell our summer was so damn hot this year it had to follow that our winter would be so damn cold!
2nd guy) oh yeah that seems about right. Hey ya know I heard that it's gonna get cold again this week down below zero.
1st guy) see what did I tell ya. It's not gonna let up. We will end up having the coldest winter in history.
2nd guy) why didnt we take that offer to go over to Hawaii? this is BS!
I had to think on this one a bit. Was our hot summer an insight to our freezing winter? I know Mr Gab had seen all the beaver houses way out in the middle so he knew it wasn't going to be an easy winter.
But does our hot weather have anything to do with our cold freeze our asses off winter this year? I dont know but I tell ya what had I known that the hot weather was an insight to a freezing cold winter I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FLORIDA! THIS CRAP ISN'T FIT FOR MAN KIND!
AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN SICK AT LEAST ONCE! i THINK WE ARE ALL ON ROUND TWO RIGHT NOW AND HELL I AM SO SICK TO DEATH OF COUGHING AND COUGHING. WHEN THE HELL IS SPRING? AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME ITS GONNA BE DELAYED I DONT THINK I CAN HANDLE MORE BAD NEWS!

11 days in Whats new?
We are 11 days into our new year. Whats new?
Our oldest grandson is talking of moving out at the end of this month. I AM NOT HAPPY!
He is moving out mainly because Mr Gab has NOT kicked out our oldest son and his girlfriend and her two boys who were never to be here to begin with (the boys not the other two they were told they could stay 30 days well their 30 days expired 5 months ago but for some reason Mr Gab isnt doing a damn thing)
And speaking of THAT! I have threaten to move out myself. He says GOOD BYE
I dont think he believes I ever would.....well I would if the weather was better I would go home to South Dakota. I would live on the farm in my camper. I would figure out what to do by next winter if it went that far! BUT I WOULD DO IT!
Not just threaten because Im damn sick of this crap they dont help clean they cook but they make all the food so damn spicy I cant eat it. When I bitch and complain they "forget" the next time....and when they cook they dont clean up I have left dishes for 3 weeks (ISHY)
Finally I yelled at my oldest son You can never ever cook another meal in this house I dont give a damn if you f***en starve! He goes why. Mr Gab goes because your mother and I are the only one doing the damn dishes for more people than we need to be doing dishes for. He goes well gee all ya gotta do is ask. F**K do you know how many times I have asked? and asked? and asked? And he has never ever come out of his bedroom to do dishes!well that night he did dishes. then made spaghetti and didnt do the dishes afterwards! GOD I AM REALLY HATING THAT KID OF MINE!!!!
I told everyone that if they arent out of my house by the end of this month the sheriff will assist them out. and Im sticking to it.
I AM SO OVER THIS

Thing is there were no cookies involved just water and the more water I drank the more I tossed it!!! and of course in the dire need of being hanging over the porcelain throne wouldn't ya know it diarrhea!! I don't know how many times I missed due to the fact I couldn't turn over fast enough and I'm super PO"D at whom ever took the Bucket outta the bathroom so I wouldn't have these ghastly mistakes.

They just don't understand that no matter what I will embarrass them Sorry!
I'm afraid I've done it again.
I've gone and embarrassed one of my grand children!

She is by no means a baby.
In fact
TODAY IS HER 12TH BIRTHDAY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KELLEY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!
and many more!
But in the big picture I said Happy Birthday Baby girl. And she says "Grandma I'm not a baby I'm 12"
and I said "Honey no matter how old you get you will always be my baby girl."
She sighed and said "But grandma I'm 12"
And I said "Kelley darling look at TJ he's 18 and I still call him baby! and I will call him baby as long as I live!"
She wasn't happy about it and she went to school but I'm sure she is telling all her little teeny bopper friends that she IS NOT A BABY!

getting old
I guess Im just getting old. I'm tired all the time....never mind that I gotta stay up till midnight Monday through Thursday. Then go to bed only to be woke up around well either 230 am or 330 am to go out and pick up sons girlfriend from work. Then if Im lucky and do get to go back to sleep Im back up again by 630am to get all the kids up for school.
WTH! ALL MY KIDS ARE GROWN AND GONE! PLUS OUR GRANDSON WHOM WE RAISED IS 18 AND CAN GET HIS ASS UP FOR HIS LAST YEAR OF SCHOOL BY HIMSELF(not!!)
now I have 3 other kids to get up and get ready for school. Then open the door for 2 more of our grandkids can come.
I am lucky sorta. Daughter does take the oldest plus 2 others to school. while I make sure the last 3 get off to school.
Then if Im lucky (and most of the time I am) I take a nap once all the kids are off to school.
Now that winter is here though I drive the youngest 3 to school instead of them taking the bus. Here in MN its too damn cold for those little ones to be waiting out there, since they made the bus stop so damn far from home. (well ok its a block away but when our kids were little the bus stopped right in front of our house at the end of the driveway so they could stay inside till it came, so a block away is too damn far!)
I'm just getting old. and one of these days I WILL GO TO FLORIDA TO LIVE!

Remember
50 years ago on Friday we were all remembering the death of our President....President Kennedy.
50 years ago I was 9.
50 years ago I was in 3rd grade.
50 years ago my father would not let us watch TV during the daytime
50 years ago that changed when our President had been shot!
50 years is a long time ago yet that is one day I can remember like yesterday:
we were sitting in our class room when all of a sudden the principle came on the intercom and said our President had just been shot and we were all to go home.
We all looked at each other not exactly sure what this meant other than go home.
So we left.
I got home and mom wanted to know why I was home early.
I told her they said our President had been shot and go home.
Because dad didn't allow TV on during the daytime mom left me with my sisters and ran to a neighbors house.
When mom came back she was crying and she turned our TV on and we sat and watched everything unfold.
When my dad got home he didn't say a thing about TV being on before 6pm because he had already heard the news. SO he just came in sat in his chair and watched it unfold like we were. we didn't talk just watched.
and when they said our President was dead we sat there stunned. How could this be? In our times? It just didn't happen? At least we didn't think so! This happened like back when President Lincoln was shot not in modern times.
But it had happened and we were watching it over and over again on the TV.
The next day dad told mom that from now on she was to have the radio on all day (it usually got turned off at 7am.) and should there be something considered emergency like our President being shot she was to turn on the TV no matter what time it was.
That is how we heard about when Harvey Oswald had been shot. and once again our TV was turned on long before 6pm.
It wasn't long after that and our TV was on starting about 10 am every day. Didn't really matter what was on just so it was on so they could be first to hear about "breaking news"
Yes 50 years a lot of things have changed. and it started with our President being shot and killed. R.I.P. Mr. President in my opinion you were the best and would have made a very big mark in our history even if you hadn't been killed.

Just totally fed up
Thanksgiving is coming up and already the family feud has started. I'm so damn sick and tired of all of this that as of tonight I'm thinking of telling Mr Gab when he gets off work to forget doing Thanksgiving and go to the casino and have our own.
It starts out with our youngest son and his girlfriend. He pays this woman $900.00 a month in child support and also lives with her to help care for the kids (don't ask)
So the other day she yells at him he can't eat there as he don't pay for the groceries! WHAT ARE YA KIDDING?
SO after he tells me this I say well we aren't doing Thanksgiving. He gets mad and says so whats his kids suppose to do? I say well you and your kids are welcome she is NOT. He gives that woman Fricken $900.00 a month lives with her to help with his own kids but hes not paying for the groceries? REALLY!
Ok round two:
our daughter gets all pissy when I start talking about planning the menu and says to me well maybe you want your new daughter to help you.
Alright now let me explain.....oldest son and his girlfriend and her two boys are living with us along with our oldest sons daughter. I A M T R Y I N G T O G E T A L O N G!
So I am nice to her. doesn't mean she is my new daughter.
but we start talking and planning and I say when can you go shopping with me? Daughter says I'm super busy all week but Friday. I say ok Friday is good.
SO today I say don't forget to bring the pan over for the turkey (I want to make sure pan is big enough because Oldest son got a 21 lb turkey this year) because if its not tomorrow when we go shopping I can buy a new one!
she say ok then all of a sudden she goes I really cant go shopping tomorrow. WHAT? WE ALL READY PLANNED THIS OUT! FRICK ME!
pissed oh yes I am.
Now she text me and says "oh I cant find the pan" Ok no biggie I will go buy my own damn pan or better yet Mr Gab and I will go do our own thing and Screw ya all!
What the Heck happened to being Thankful? and family? and all the other stuff Thanksgiving is suppose to be about?
I just don't want to do this any more. This family is the original dysfunctional family of all times.
no one cares about the other oh they claim they do but not really its all about them! AND IT IS NOT THE WAY Mr Gab and I brought them up!

about 6 short weeks away
Did you realize that in about 6 short weeks we will be at the end of another year? No? Well you know it now. Yes it is that close upon us. Less than 2 weeks to Thanksgiving and then about 4 weeks to Christmas. UGH say its not so. I know there will be some one out there counting and say oh no there is this many more NO I"M ROUNDING IT OFF! I SAID IN ABOUT! I am not doing exact days or time for that matter. ABOUT PEOPLE ABOUT.
AND ITS ABOUT THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN.
We get ready to have Thanksgiving and then start the frantic shopping for Christmas. AND YES there are those who are done (snicker) and those who are just about done but need to go out on black Friday (snicker) Me? I wait till day before Christmas.....and then if I have any money what so ever I buy a few gifts. If not they all get a picture of what they may or may not get the day after when everything is 50% off. So with all that in mind and the fact that soon we will be saying good bye to 2013 and Hello to 2014 and starting this all over again and it will go faster and faster each year and I will say NO slow down but it wont. Because when your older and want more time it flys away fast then when your a kid and it drags so slow because you want to be older to do things. Live and learn. Then stop and smell the roses because even if it seemed slow as a kid its actually going faster than you know.
And to my friend, if you cant stop what you need to stop in order to try to get the help you need then I'm sorry. And if you no longer choose to be my friend on Face Book ok. But I am still your friend and still here for ya if you need me. Just don't expect me to jump on the sympathy train with ya

HAPPY 18TH TJ
Already where did the time go? yes he doesnt look happy in that picture above because he think's I'm gonna post it to Face Book. Well I didn't not this time. I honored his wish and just put it here.
our daughter gave birth to Tj 18 years ago today he weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs 12 ozs and was a OMG 23 3/4 inches long! yes he was almost a full grown kid when he was born! at age 3 he talked like an adult and understood most of the words that he was saying. Like I asked him once if he knew what it meant to be responsible? He replied "yes, grandma to be responsible means you need to take care of something or to admit to something if you did it." I said to take care of what? He said " well like if you get me a dog I would have to train it, walk it, feed it, water it, brush it and have you help me take it to the doctors" WOW he knew that word pretty well. So I asked the next question. Ok I said you said admit something if you did it what do you mean? and he said " well grandma if I broke something I have to be responsible and tell you or grandpa that I broke it not lie about it" I was floored. This little 3 year old knew what responsible meant pretty darn well and nope we really didnt tell him he picked up on it when Mr Gab and I talked.
Then this little 3 year old said to me "grandma I wanna be just like grandpa when I grow up. I want to be as big as him and I want to work like him" and I said "well baby, we will just have to wait and see. because it's not up to us how tall your gonna be or how big but you've got a good start on size so maybe (remember he was big when he was born so at age three he was like a 6 year old in size) and Jobs change so you might want to do something else" "Nope" he said "I wanna be just like my grandpa" Yes people this little boy was and still is 100% grandpa's boy. every where grandpa went there was TJ. every time we left the house TJ wanted to go with and he cried something terrible if we left him behind. It got so bad one time when we did leave him behind that our daughter begged us never to do that again. TJ was so upset, and it took us forever to calm him down once we got back home and yes he had made him self sick over crying because we were gone and left him behind so yeah he always took him with us. EVERY WHERE INCLUDING WHEN WE MOVED TO SOUTH DAKOTA!
When we first went looking at houses in SD and TJ was 3 he would run from bedroom to bedroom and he would "Claim" this one would be his if we bought that house. Well of course every one he "claimed would be his was the biggest bedroom and would be grandma's and grandpa's not his. But that wasn't what worried us. I said to grandpa what is he gonna do when he finds out he's not moving with us? Grandpa said IDK. Well we got to the house we did buy and TJ said this is my room and yes once again its the biggest room and I'm like UMMM NO WAY! He cried and yes yes that was gonna be his room. I said no look at this other room it's already a kids room its a nice room. We went to the South Dakota State Fair and he had won a poster picking fishy and I put the poster up in that room and said see it looks good in here so when you come to visit this will be your room. OOOPS! He sat down and cried and cried and cried. He wasnt leaving! So when we started to move our things from MN to SD every load we took had something of his in it PLUS he would make sure he was in the car before we even thought of leaving. He wasn't gonna let us move without him. So we said to our daughter ok its summer let him stay with us for the summer. (after all he's only 3 and she was dealing with a new baby (Aaron)) So it was agreed. But not only did grandma and grandpa get the BIG bedroom so did he. We bought a crib so he could sleep in our room with us. That first year was the year grandpa went over the road trucking. So TJ slept in the crib and I had the bed and Grandpa slept with me when he came home. We went to the farm and got the bed frame from my grandmother's room and brought it into town and cleaned it up and painted it. then we watched for a sale on a mattress and box spring and when we finally got a set we put it in the smaller room for TJ. That lasted about 2 days because Aaron came to live with us. So we put that bed with with the crib in the big room and moved our waterbed in the smaller room and TJ won! He got the room he said he was gonna get when we bought that house.
Now TJ is 18. He is like his grandpa is almost every way. He is actually taller than grandpa by about 2 inches. He is as big as grandpa weight wise. and He works the same job as grandpa. He works at Holiday stationstore just like grandpa does. And he got his wish on that too! HE IS LIKE HIS GRANDPA!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJ! WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!
and you know I always sing in true Gab fashion so here goes:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TJ
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU!
and many more!
18 years has gone by way to quickly! You've been our grandson and our son! We've raised you from a baby to a man! I hope you have many happy memories! I know we do.
