Something to Ponder

By my Friend Gerri Merida.....a Nurse and mom

I believe I'm turning into a grumpy old woman. Seems the older I get, the less tolerant I am to ignorance and bullshit. I realize that every generation believes that the next one has it better than the one before, and doesn't appreciate that fact. I absolutely DO feel perfectly comfortable with a lot of new thoughts on many current social issues, many of which the generation before me (including my own parents whom I totally love and admire) don't agree with, but I just feel so disillusioned with the direction of other society trends. When did so many decide that society and the government are responsible for taking care of them? When, and why, do so many think that they don't have to follow the same standards as the rest of society? Where are we headed? Why do so many only consider themselves? ? I don't feel like I am the only one in this world, and nobody owes me anything. I don't believe my single minded thoughts are above everyone else's. I believe I am part of a family that includes multiple generations, part of a local community, part of a valuable community, state, and nation. AND above all, I am grateful to have been born in this country. My grumpy, aging self wonders. ..if so many are unhappy here in the U.S. why don't they move to another country? Perhaps people would stop complaining and truly appreciate what we have here. We have a great nation - and you just might see it if you look beyond yourself.

Just so damn tired of all the Racial Crap

A friend of mines partial post.....
Danielle Marie Moll
Seems sad to me that as I scroll down my news feed, there is no trace of little Ahlittia..... Only four days after her little lifeless body was thrown out with the trash. Yet, my news-feed is still full of the same story people were complaining about weeks ago.

And my response....This is not open for debate this is my fb page and its my opinion and I wont apologize for how I feel......
Danielle Marie Moll..I am so anger I could spit nails...the media and DOJ is still going after Zimmerman..get the hell over it.. he was found innocent by a jury of his peers..I guess now if you don't like the verdict lets just take it to the Justice Dept and have them file charges against someone that has been declared innocent. .this is not a good thing.. I thought we had rights and that there was a thing called double Jeopardy.. so if you don't like the out come you keep filing charges til you get the out come you think is fair..BS...I did not say I'm agreeing with the verdict. .but IT's DONE!. Move on...!!!!. NOW.. we had a child murdered in our city .. she was thrown away in a trash bag and into a trash can.....It doesn't matter to me that she was African American..she was SOMEONES INNOCENT CHILD....she was murdered by someone she knew who just happens to be AFRICAN AMERICAN....when the hell are we going to stop looking at skin color to decided when to be OUTRAGE. ..I'm dam tired of this racial crap.. Grow up people. it is getting old and worse than back in the 60's.. when are we going to stop letting people like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson stir the pot........I am trying to raise My Matthew to look past the skin color and into the soul of people..its really hard when you are living in a Nation that even the President it stir the pot...
