PooPoo Heads and Big Meanies

Welcome to reality

According to the Constitution, everyone is equal.  There are laws to that effect.

Finally this country realized that it takes everyone to make things work.  They all worked together.

While in College, I had a professor that told me that those that disagree the most, have the most to teach each other.  

Sit back, and ask yourself why this person evokes so much emotion?  Can you learn something from them?

re  "Can you learn something from them? " So true.

I'd honor parents and every tiny memory I'd hold precious every day every moment. You're lucky to have grown up around parents, especially two parents, no matter how good or bad or in between they were, they were yours. My father was murdered at a young age 44 when I was 12. I *awoke* at his funeral to his 21 Gun Salute at Fort Rosecrans Nat'l Cemetery overlooking the ocean. 7 guns x 3. I've been awake ever since. He was in the Royal Air Force during WW2. 

If I said any more, it would turn into political facts that Americans have ZERO clues about. So I remain, silent.

So sad you lost your dear father. --- Did you have your mother ?


Asking as I was abandoned, before birth. - I too have to remain too silent on forums, tho present family & friends are my family & tribe.
Do you have a family & friends now CosmicVanna ?

You? Silent? That is haha funny for the obvious chatterbox!   Maybe you're silent on certain topics?
 
It is hard to forget and I don't want to, but I hold no grudges or anger. I feel fortunate I was good to go at Age of Reason. I had the typical abandonment issues during the last few teenage years. Having a good foster mum though helped me cope during the hardest years, those I'd titled the Mean Years. Mom was a troubled soul after father was taken.
Mom died at 86 in 2015 after a long illness. It was expected so was easier to let Mom go. I have good family connections and a few close lifelong friends, many friendly acquaintances. 
I enjoy people and look forward to meeting you all. Someday!

Scott, I can relate to your story with you dad and the tape. In the same teenage years my mother "woke me up". She was nurse at the hospital. When I thought my whole life sucked. She made me get in the truck and took me down to the hospital childrens ward, ICU, cancer section, you name it. She told me "These people here are having a lot worse life right now than you. Some of them will most likely die today. Every time you see an ambulance or fire truck go by..or you pass a hospital you remember this and them. Unless you here with them their will always be plenty of people that are worse off than you. And they are actually having a bad day." From that day forward I had a positive outlook on life, no matter the situation. It changed me for life. Thank you Scott for sharing your story. For if it wasn't shared I would not be able to share my story at the moment with others. All in hopes that others will here the advise of our loved ones before us and heed the knowledge from the wisdom they left with us.
