I tried to stay away, well not really there's a very special little girl in my life. She will never replace my little girl who died but she is truly something else, when my baby angel died I said I would never ignore her if she decided to come back which in so many ways I believe she has. Yes, she is a cat, her name is Shadow. I believe God sent me back my angel, plus an LOL cat(her mother or father could have been the I can has cheeseburger cat) Sooner or later her picture will grace the photo for this blog.
I also deal on a daily basis with adult people who act as if they are 2 to maybe 4 years old. I used to say there were no stupid questions however with the people I am deal with I wonder but this is for a separate blog(oh, yes, I've decided during my hiatus to let it fly on this blog) Between them and work, etc who has the energy.
There are changes coming. Good ones I promise!
Now back to politics...
I so don't want to be involved with this but someday I hope to have kids and when they ask what did you do, I want to be able to say I fought(as much as I hate to say it)
Memo to whoever put together that soda tax commercial.
When it is heard on the radio that one "doctor" sounds like Hannibal Lecter, at the very least a dracula wanna be.
Here's a clip...just listen
Here's Hannibal
Yes or No
Maybe I just don't want to do it for the children. What do the children's parents do? What happened to telling your child NO once and a while? How about parent's take responsiblity for their children? Ya know every once in a while put down the cell, shut off the TV, not use the computer and pay attention to what the kid is eating or not eating!(I pay more attention to my cats!)
I'm a grown up and do not wish to be treated like a child. YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER NOR MY FATHER. I know what to eat what not to eat but ya know what broccoli gets boring, salads make me feel like a cow chewing cud and God gave us a sugar for a reason(possibly so we could have some FUN)(oops, that's it the folks in gubmint think they are g-d)
Why do you want us to drink artificial sweetners so badly? Why do you feel the need to impose a new tax on the people who can afford it the least at this time?

Is it pick on the fat kid time for adults? Even the first lady is in on this one. Why don't we ask why are kids getting fat? Would it be because you parents would have to take a good long hard look at yourselves? Do you ever go out for walks with your kids in the evening and (Oooh, scary stuff) talk to your kid like my mother did? Being an obese child is hard(I know this first hand, the names you people would hurl, etc)... to have everyone(including the president and government) now coming after you. I don't know... Maybe kids nowadays don't taunt(I doubt it)...fat people and kids are the last group you can relentlessly taunt and torture and no one says boo. We have anti-obesity organizations, a woman(who I could name but won't lest she get more press)who advocates for all sorts of fat-phobic things(her poor children), locally we have a woman(I'm starting to see a trend here) who writes for our paper who constantly talks about how restaurants/people should do this or that because she has a problem(even scarier she's a teacher and won't let her kids have cupcakes(or whatever) for birthdays she brings in vegetables, ooh fun, right)
People take your kids out play ball, walk around the block or jump rope(yes, you'll look nuts but who cares kids don't remember how silly Grandma/Mom/whoever looked, just how cool Grandma/Mom/whoever was)(notice these things are almost free, go to the dollar store for the ball/rope)
