Nobody’s Perfect: Airline Passenger VS Shawn Spicer
Nobody’s Perfect
This week, we have two men who were so absurd, they got the beginning WWIII off the news. Everybody on the planet was talking about the doctor who got on the United Airlines flight, then got off, then snuck back on, and THEN…he had to be dragged off screaming.
He is now in the hospital with his lawyer, who asked, “So, where was your can of Pepsi?”
Everyone under the sun has an opinion on the matter, but really, the guy acted like a snowflake. Clearly, he has watched too many Chinese Lives Matter programs. The lady in the movie is even more of an idiot.
The good news is now, we ALL know that you can get kicked off any flight at anytime for no reason whatsoever. So what’s new? One time, my husband and I made reservations at a Dierdorfs and Hart Restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and she seated us at a really romantic table and right in the middle of our salads, the waitress asked us to move because a “regular” client wanted our table.
It wasn’t a ‘request.’ They grabbed all our stuff and we had to follow, and yes, they moved us to a less than romantic table. We finished dinner, and never went back.
That restaurant is no longer in business.
And then there’s Shawn Spicer’s grand moment of momentous “Brain FART!” I don’t know what he was smoking before he came out to handle the press, but to say that even HITLER didn’t use chemical weapons made you wonder what in the world you call the gas ovens?
Gas weapons?
Seriously Shawn. And then he goes on to say that at least Hitler didn’t gas his own people, trying to make Assad to be worse than Hitler.
It is painful to watch: First one foot. Then the other foot. Clearly Shawn needs some sleep.
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week?
Is it the doctor who didn’t want to get off the plane and threw an adult temper tantrum?
Or is it President Trump’s Press Secretary, who either didn’t pay any attention in history class, or John McCain is writing his notes.
And the Award goes to…………….(drum roll)
HILLARY CLINTON! For getting so desperate for attention she is modeling high heel pumps because they were named after her.
Wait…there’s that Pepsi commercial….this IS getting complicated.
Nobody Flashes the Bad and the Funny
Nobody Flashes
I was just thinking: My generation suffered the insanity of the Vietnam War. We never DID get a decent explanation for why so many of our young men were sacrificed there.
If it was to prevent communism, as Eisenhower said, then it failed.
And isn’t it ironic, that our current leaders of America, most of them grew up and were against the war in Vietnam.
No more. They now make up the globalist elites who are now beating the war drums for Russia. (Clintons, McCain.) And Trump? We now have no clue.
Well, as the song says, they are now the Masters…and hearing this song again made me wonder why Bob Dylan got the Nobel Peace Prize.
But, let’s not forget our funny side. These made ME laugh.
They Start the Wars…for Who?
NOBODY REMEMBERS
President Trump today didn’t score many points with his supporters today. To us, it looks like the man has caved. He has joined the globalists: McCain, and Schumer. Due to the images of children hurt by chemical attack in Syria, he has changed his tune on Syria. America once again, has done the global elites bidding.
This all came quickly:
First: Steve Bannon quit, or was demoted, or whatever. Another man good man falls. 
Second: Senator Nunes “excused” himself from the committee of investigations against Susan Rice. Another criminal will go free.
Third: As I write this, it’s being reported that President Trump has sent 56 missiles into Syria.
Forth: and most importantly: Hillary Clinton has come out of hiding, with a new confidence and arrogance that we haven’t seen before, blaming Russia for her loss.
Yes, the bitch is back.
Syria did NOT attack America, and Trump told us he would not take us into wars where the United States was not harmed.
But…oh…the video. Children’ were hurt. Emotional pictures were sent out everywhere. 
So, Trump is warring up. If you go by this action…Obamacare will not be replaced, the next coming war will need higher taxes, and more American soldiers could die. When the economy is so bad, it’s usually a war that is the answer. The damage done by Obama is so overwhelming Trump’s promises will be hard or even impossible to reach.
So.
History tells us that our past Presidents have started many a World War….on purpose.
Not even into his first year, and Trump has caved.
This is an excerpt from one of Judge Napolitano Books:
Before his election, FDR said: “I have said it before and I will say it again. Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.” His Plan? Provoke the Japanese navy into killing American sailors. ON September 27th 1940, Japan, Germany, and Italy entered into a mutual assistance treaty called the Tripartite Pace. The Pact required the three nations to come to each other’s aid and protection if one of the others in the Pact was attacked. In other words, if Japan attacked the United States, the United States would surely retaliate against its aggressor: in doing so, Germany would surely retaliate against its aggressor and Germany would then come to Japan’s assistance. FDR responded to Churchill’s pleas to enter the war, “Although I many not declare war, I many make war. ”
The McCollum memo. The memo stated: If Japan could be led to commit an overt act of war, so much the better.” FDR fired Admiral James O. Richardson, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Fleet, who voiced objection to the provocation plan at the White House during a discussion with the president.
FDR confessed, “I just want them to keep popping up here and there and keep the Japs guessing. I don’t mind losing one or two cruisers, but do not take a chance on losing five or six.” Keep in mind, two lost cruisers equal the deaths of 1,980 men, roughly the number of men killed at Pearl Harbor. Moreover, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson’s diary reveals the intent to provoke an attack when the United States issued as ultimatum to Japan twelve days prior to Pearl Harbor, demand that she removes all troops from China and Indochina, bad break the tripartite treaty with Germany and Italy. Stimson said, “We face the delicate question of the diplomatic fencing to be done so as to be sure Japan is put into the wrong and makes the first bad move. Overt move.
The U.S. Government marshalling its resources in preparation for a full-scale war including the purchase of “$3.5 billion worth of military supplies from automobile plants alone.” He inserted the draft and said, “Your boys are going into training to form a force so strong that by its very existence it will keep the threat of war from our shoes.” As history, would later prove, this was a complete and utter lie.
The US continued to monitor Japanese communications but consciously chose not to prevent the attack.
AT Pearl Harbor, 2,403 Americans died and 405,399 Americans were eventually killed throughout the course of WWII.
The truth is, the ultimate crisis war is a dear friend of the state. In fact, the government uses war at the ultimate means to expand its own power, size, and scope. It does so in a multitude of ways, to which we will return below: Tax and budget increases, security laws and regulations, nationalization of industry, censorship of speech and expression, suspension of due process, warrantless searches and seizures, and blanket arrest of war resisters. This list goes on and on.
President Trump said that “It’s in our vital National Interest that WMD’s”…yada….yada….what?
Well, this Nobody Wonders why the bullet in the head of a young child in Chicago, Detroit, or St. Louis, is any less dangerous than a chemical weapon? You can kill people with swords and cars! Dead is dead, no matter how it happened, right?
Where was the outrage and pictures of all the young Christian children lying in blood and headless all over the Middle East?
How many trips has John McCain made to the “rebels” in Syria?
Too many to count.
It’s the same old twisted talk we’ve heard all throughout history.
We are told, that Assad DID this, even though Obama said that he gave us all his WMD’s.
I found this video below very interesting…it’s all about False Flags, but, the most important part is at 1302. Watch that, and tell me that this could very well have been a false flag to get us into war with Russia.
McCain, Hillary…that’s ALL they talk about.
And by the way, remember the Muslims got WMD’s from AMERICA.
One last note: This is my first post ‘against’ President Trump.
And no, I believe with all my heart, that Ted Cruz would have done the exact same thing.
The man who told us everything he will do will be for America…just did something for the world….unless of course he was just showing off to China and North Korea.
Still, all the democrats and republicans are joined tonight in approval, how nice.
I suggest we all stock up on Vodka.
Nobody’s Fool: Kristen Meghan Edwards
Nobody’s Fool:
Chemtrails. They are never discussed on any weather channel in the United States, and yet, we have all witnessed them. Basically, chemtrials are weather modifications.
China uses them, Russia uses them, and both countries TELL their people they are using them. But here in the United States, well…comrade, you don’t really need to know. After all, unlike communists countries, WE are a democracy, so we protect you from worrying about this.
(Ironic, no?)
I’ve been seeing chemtrails on a weekly basis here in my neck of the woods for years, and I noticed, the pilots go especially crazy two or three days before a big storm is predicted.
And when the storm hits, it’s always seemed worse than usual if the chemtrials are heavy.
So, here’s a nobody who works in the field, highly educated, and she is very concerned…but instead of the usual conspiracy “They want to make us all zombies.” reason that is being imagined, she comes to a much more scientific and logical conclusion: It’s all about the money.
If you control the weather, just think of how you can control the crops (Not to mention stocks) and promote that necessary scare tactic called “climate change.”
So, in celebration of Kristen Meghan Edwards, I am proud to present this week’s Nobody’s Fool Award to her in honor of her bravery.
Keep up the good work Kristen…we really DO want to know why our government won’t talk about this.
And by the way: Stay away from area 51.
Nobody’s Perfect: Susan Rice
Nobody’s Perfect
Susan Rice, Obama’s former National Security Officer, is all over the news again: it seems it has now been discovered that it was she who put forth the ‘unmasking’ of classified material about President Trump and his administration, to, well, who knows how many people, which is a felony, but Susan denies it:
Rice said unmaking names in intelligence reports she received is standard procedure insisting, “I leaked nothing to nobody,” adding there is “no equivalence” between unmasking and leaking.
(It depends on what your definition of equivalence is.)
Rice said, “The allegation is that somehow Obama Administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes. That is absolutely false. I was the national security advisor. My job is to protect the American people and the security of our country. That’s the same as the secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the CIA director, and every morning to enable us to do that, we receive, from the intelligence community, a compilation of intelligence reports that the intelligence community selected for us on a daily basis to give us the best information as to what is going on around the world. I received those reports as did each of the other officials, and there were occasions when I would receive a report in which a U.S. person was referred to. Name not provided, just U.S. person. And sometimes in that context, in order to understand the importance of the report, and assess its significance, it was necessary to find out, or request the information as to who the U.S. official was.”
Yes, yes…Susan’s tongue is formidable. After all, she used it to cover up Benghazi. She used it to cover up the fact that Obama traded five terrorists’ commandos for an American traitor…but I hate to say it…
Susan, you have competition. I noticed that recently, your tongue is starting to get you in trouble. That statement you gave last week about President Trump having too many “white” people in it, showed your TRUE racist color. That statement pissed off a LOT of white people.
That’s not good.
So, I’d like to help you out. After all, Obama deserted you, didn’t he? He’s off having fun with 51 men on a tropical island doing God knows what, and once again, you have to stay here and lie to cover up his orders.
So, here’s my suggestion. When you get called in front of Congress, you just send this lady up there to speak for you. Her tongue will do the job that is wearing yours out.
Nobody should have to continue to wear out their tongue with lies as much as you do.
I present to you, the master of tongues, in fact she holds the record. (Love the lipstick)
If nothing else, Having her testify for you in Congress, just might wake those guys up. And besides, we the American people are getting tired of your banter. Please…take a break. After all, Nobody’s Perfect, Susan. Not even you.
Democrats Use the Good Hearts of Conservatives to Get a Soccer Stadium Built By Deception
Nobody Wins
There is one thing you have to say about the Democrats: They are clever, clever, clever. They’ve been promoting putting a Soccer stadium downtown St. Louis for over a year now. Of course, they wanted the people to pay for almost all of it.
“It will bring jobs! It will be great for the community and children’s soccer teams!” We heard this cry for months. As you saw in one of my last posts: It’s a third world ghost town down there.
The people said, “No.” Our new Republican Governor said, “NO WAY.” But, did that stop them? Hell no. The stadium is being built for the new generations of Democratic voters: the Hispanics and the Muslims. Maybe soccer will take over baseball in St. Louis, but…it’s mostly whites that go to the baseball games, even though most of the players are Hispanic. Go figure.
To me it’s whites will soon be the minority and we need to keep St. Louis, democratic.
Liberal logic 101.
They’ve found a way to get the taxpayers to pay for that stadium, and the public doesn’t even know it. They are getting it by playing on the soft hearts of the conservatives (Who PAY the taxes) to give more money to our police Department. YES! More money for our poor police. Look how they’ve been abused. Every hour we are being bombarded with commercials trying to get everyone to vote for Proposition P. Cops wives crying for support. Really emotional stuff.
Wow. The city of Ferguson? The city of one of the highest crimes rates in the country? How can you NOT vote for it?
Still, MORE taxes?
Really?
This is how:
I received this email from my local Republican representative:
We have an election this Tuesday. On the ballot is a proposition P.
We see a lot of signs that say vote yes on Prop P, Support your police.
Your ballot language will show that this proposition is for police and public safety.
There is no accountability for this tax increase. Once a tax increase is approved it will probably not be decreased. It would be great if all of this money went to police but it won’t.
Our county executive, Steve Stenger started out requesting a 1/4 of a cent tax increase which would yield $8 million for unincorporated St Louis county. By increasing this to 1/2 cent and including all of the municipalities he will now get $48 million. He announced a week ago, that he is going to work with the new mayor to get funding for the soccer stadium and for renovations to the dome.
Current funding for the police could be redirected elsewhere.
We are seeing a lot of ads asking our support for prop P but nothing against it. No one wants to admit they don’t want funding for police.
Right. Very Clever. As usual the money will not go to the police, but into the hands of the rich democrats and their crony’s.
And this is the party who says it despises capitalism, and the police. That was the giveaway right there wasn’t it? They were trying to help the ‘police.”
*$%&&%
I’ll vote it down, but as she said, there is nobody giving the other side of the story…and busy conservatives will only see the ads.
Like I said: Clever, Clever, and despicable. Here’s one of our good county mayors going into more detail…the democrats are already spending it on other things…
The vote is tomorrow.
John McNutty McCain: Our Rabid War Dog
Nobody’s Opinion
We had the race card, the LGBT card, the Islamophobia card, the white supremacist card, and now we have the Russia card.
John McCain in the Light.
And nobody plays it better than John McCain.
John was on some Sunday morning talk show this morning, talking EVER so sweetly to liberal bimbo, Martha Raddatz, slamming down the Russian race card viciously, yet trying to put on his “sweet” face.
I hate it when he does that. It’s like watching a gremlin trying to smile.
“They’re succeeding in continuing their dismemberment of Ukraine, they’re succeeding in exerting enormous influence in the Middle East, which they never had before,” McCain said.
Nobody Says: Well, Gee John. Where were your concerns about Russia when Obama was President? I don’t remember you getting this upset about it. And by the way, who let Russia get away with all this stuff? President Trump?
“They are succeeding — they have succeeded in interfering with our election, and we know that they continue that in the French elections and other elections. And so far, they have paid little or no penalty for all of this misbehavior.”
Nobody Says: Really John? HOW did they interfere with our elections? Did they go to Ohio and milk some cows to get votes? What? Are you, dear globalist siren, scared that France will come to its senses and elect Marine Le pen? Is Russia standing in front of the Louvre telling the people of France to vote for her?
“The fact is that we know for a fact the Russians tried to change the outcome of our election, attacking the very fundamentals of democracy,” McCain said. “We need to know how, we need to know why, and most of all we need to know what to do to prevent this kind of activity, which they continue to carry on in free nations around the world.”
John McCain in the Dark.
Nobody Says: Our democracy is in trouble John, but its not Russia that doing the damage.
Yes, yes…the Russians do it, the Chinese’s do it, the birds and the bees do it, and we do it, and if we don’t like the country, why, we go in and just put our own puppets in place. In fact, what are you saying John? You don’t know why they do it?
How stupid are you? Same reason WE do it. And you’re a Senator? Good lord.
“I hate the press. I hate you, especially,” he told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd, who laughed. “But the fact is, we need you. We need a free press. We must have it. It’s vital.”
Nobody Says: We don’t have a free press John. Our government/corporate media controls every bit of info we see on TV. They have paid millions to social psychologists, and social engineering experts, to make sure that the masses are lead to think how they want us to think.
Gee…in that last election all that money went to waste.
You’re just mad John that your candidate, Hillary lost. And frankly, the fact that Arizona has a governor like Jan Brewer and you as their Senator makes NO common sense whatsoever.
Mr. McNutty: We have enough problems without you going around trying to start WWIII. If Russia DOES attack the United States. I’m looking at one man right away to blame.
Senator John McCain–fueling the flames of war.
Somebody look at his Cayman Island accounts.
What Day Is This?
Nobody Flashes
President Donald Trump, has just signed an executive order that all politicians must pass, and use Paul Ryan’s health care law. If they don’t then he threatens that he will put Maxine Waters in charge of the Pentagon. 
In other news, Obama has just finished his new book, called, “Dreams of My Gay Lover.” Already, Shepard Smith has bought the first hundred copies which he is sending to the Adams/Hays hotel as a complimentary book meant to replace the Bible in the rooms.
Hillary Clinton has decided to run for President of Canada. And Obama is considering a new career as a host in his own TV talk show, his first guest will be Valerie Jarrett, who plans to dance the Tango in full hijab to show how easily it can be done.
On the opposite side of the planet, Australia has decided to give every citizen a gun, and a pound of ammunition. China has decided to kick out all American manufacturing businesses, and NIKE’s will now be made in Idaho.
Vladimir Putin is making a trip to Disney Land in Orlando, where he will be escorted around the park, by his new big fan, Lindsey Graham.
Food prices are expected to come down by 50% this year, and Congress has decided to cut all taxes by 75%.
Chelsea Clinton will be working in Libya soon, as the ambassador from the United Kingdom.
Bill Clinton will divorce his wife on grounds that she physically abused him, and he will be given a ‘safe place’ provided to him with round the clock protection.
SNL will be cancelled due to lack of an audience.
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders will divorce their current spouses and hold their wedding in Michael Moore’s basement.
Michael Moore will lose 200 pounds and become a porn star movie producer.
Lassie has been brought back to life by her DNA, and cancer has been cured.
And that is all the news that is the news, on this day…April 2…..wait…What day is this?
Nobody’s Fool: Marine Le Pen
Nobody’s Fool.
Here in America, they really aren’t saying much about MS Le Pen, who is running for the Presidency of France, and when I saw this was over 20 minutes, I said to myself, “Do I have the time today?”
Boy…am I glad I made the time. She had me glued to her every word after her first sentence.
This woman is phenomenal. She is even more truthful than President Trump, and the very clever BBC reporter places all the traps of trying to make her look like an idiot, and she turns it around with blinding speed.
You won’t regret watching this, and after watching this, think about Hillary Clinton, and compare.
Of course, they predict she can’t win, and I really don’t see how she can lose.
So, Congratulations Marine Le Pen, you win the Nobody’s Fool Award for this year so far, and I’m hoping the French people rise up and take their country back.
The people of the world, NEED you on OUR side.
France, DON’T MESS THIS UP.
Nobody’s Perfect: The Democratic National Committee Staffers, VS Columbian Nurses
Nobody’s Perfect
This week we have some serious firing among many people who are now looking for new work:
First up…Hillary Clinton is back, and so, all the people who ran her campaign have been fired. Coincidence? Are you kidding?
From Breitbart:
All Democratic National Committee staffers have been asked to submit their resignations amidst party turmoil, according to a new report.
Former Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was ousted as the party struggled from the primary election cycle to the general with their nominee Hillary Clinton. Losing candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders was rumored to have been seeking the ousting of Wasserman Schultz as a consolation in the results after Wasserman Schultz showed favor to Clinton for President over Sanders. Brazile took over afterward, but news that she leaked questions to Clinton brought more upheaval and eventually the election of Perez.
The one who really should have been fired, Hillary Clinton, gets to come back…and hire all new people.
And then there were the nurses and doctors in Columbia who decided to make fun of a naked unconscious man waiting for surgery.
It’s nice to know that, like democratic staffers, the doctors and nurses in Columbia take their job seriously.
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award?
Was it the democratic staffers who, despite all their herculean efforts of cheating and fraud they couldn’t get Hillary Clinton elected?
Or was it the bunny ranch nurses who just couldn’t help making fun of a man who was butt-naked.
Nobody says….the Democratic Staffers win! Nobody could get that woman elected. You had to feel sorry for the staff…
As Obama famously once said, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.”
As far as the nurses go…they might have done us a big favor. People here in the States are going to think twice about going south of the border for a cheaper operation. Unless of course, that was Hillary Clinton laying on that table…
They could sell tickets.
St. Louis: The New Dearborn
Nobody Cares
“It worse than I thought.” 
I said this to myself, yesterday, as my husband and I were coming home from downtown St. Louis after making a trip to visit the Busch Brewery.
I hate to write about gloomy things, but really, I wonder if anybody else notices stuff like this.
Most every city in the United States has a highway system which passes around the main city: Chicago, Kansas City, L.A. Atlanta, all have highways that circle around the outskirts. If you are traveling East coming into St. Louis and going toward the Arch, you go north once you pass over the Mississippi, and get onto highway 70, heading North than West. Highway 70 will take you right out to Colorado.
If you go South, you won’t see what I just saw. 
It’s been quite a while since I went downtown…many years in fact. The last time was before Obama was elected. And sure, the closer you got to downtown, the older the brick buildings were…all built during the 1940’s and up. And on the North side, there were factories.
But, so what? They were just old. Brick buildings can last forever if taken care of.
It’s about a 30 miles stretch of highway, and what I saw was beyond believe. Not one, not two, but hundreds, just hundreds of buildings falling down. It looked as if, a bomb had gone off. Roofs collapsed, whole sides of buildings gone, windows broken…complete devastation everywhere. For over 25 miles. Wow.
Why hadn’t I heard about this on my local stations? East St. Louis never looked this bad. Who owned all this property? This was a whole section of land, once developed with neighborhoods, and businesses and factories, and…I was shocked.
Shocked by two realizations: In ten years St. Louis is worse than most third world countries. And the fact that NOBODY anyway, in any news station, or paper, or pundit…nobody even talks or mentioned it. That to me was the most frightening realization of all.
You turn on the local news and they usually start out with: “And you local weather for today” and then they mentioned how many people were shot dead the night before. But, the state of the city? Not a word. Just who won the baseball game.
I have been living in my little neighborhood cocoon. I ignored the pawn shops, going up all around.
I even told myself that Ferguson, was a staged event…and I didn’t need to go to those stores anymore.
I have forgotten about the nuclear waste dump near my house, and that Zika is going to be making a big debut here this summer.
I have been living in some sort of denial. And trust me, if I could move out of this hell hole, I would.
I had NO idea just how bad it was. 
What’s even funnier is that Obama decided to build a National government building to hold our records in North St. Louis. People will have to drive through this horrible landscape if they get a job there.
And if I want to depress myself further, I remember the fact that SOMEONE likes to destroy government buildings that hold FBI, CIA, and other classified records. Oklahoma City, and Building 7 were destroyed, to use two examples. They will build it, and sure enough, some how it will be destroyed.
The once thriving riverfront is now…dead. The city is filled with Muslims now.
Nobody talks about it.
The democratic mayor wants to sell the airport to…anybody really. China wants it, and I bet China will get it. Or the Saudi’s. 
What I really am trying to say, that if they can hide how BAD the condition of the city is from you, you have to wonder…
How bad of shape IS the country in that we don’t know about?
For that matter, the world?
What I am trying to say is: what we see on TV every day, is smoke and mirrors. They act as if the country is okay, everything is normal.
The country is in much worse shape than any of us really know…and that’s why…people are leaving the cities.
The only building I saw among the rubble, that was new…looked like this:
St. Louis once had 850,000 people…it now has only about 350,000.
And at least a third of the population are Muslims. And yet,
Nobody Knows, and Nobody Cares…but me. What HAVE they done to our country?
What..indeed.
Nobody Remembers the Gravestones of Lovers Never Made
Nobody Remembers
My parents, young and in love.
I had a ‘creative’ dream last night. In my dream, I created this beautiful engraved headstone for my parents, both of whom passed away many years ago: It was just ONE gravestone, but it was big enough to cover two graves. On the side, was a stone engravement of my father’s profile. And he was holding in his arms, his wife, my mother. And she was happy, and in love, and young, and cuddled softly in his arms. She was wearing her favorite checkered dress, and her high school saddle shoes. It was them, at the beginning of their love, when their love was fresh and new. Their names were engraved on the right of the stone: the stone replicas of them both…engraved on the left.
This huge headstone was so beautiful in my dream, I woke up and wondered why MORE gravestones of married couples aren’t seen in graveyards. All the graves are separate. Why not make just one gravestone for the couples who mate for life, to be remembered as mates for all eternity? I bet there are many couples that would love that.
I’m sure I had this dream because neither one of my parents got a traditional funeral. My father died first, and my mother donated his body to science. He died of a humongous brain tumor…we thought, naively at the time, that he would go to Washington University and would help the students study brain tumors.
After he died, I put together this big shelving, meant to hold various things…but it was, to me, his headstone. It’s in the kitchen now, holding up bowls and a popcorn machine, and NOW on the very spot where he died, there a statue of King Tut.
That’s my dad’s gravestone. King Tut. I think he would find that amusing.
My mom, also died in our house. She made me promise every day that I would NOT put her name in the papers, nor tell anyone about her death. She too, gave her body to science, hoping it would help someone. Like my father, she too suffered horribly in the last years of her life, paralyzed on one side as was my father. Both with massive damage from hemorrhagic strokes.
The day she died, I was sleeping next to her bed, passed out on the floor, exhausted from the night before. I had been up for over 40 hours trying to suction mucus out of her throat because she had pneumonia.
The nurses would not come.
I remember thinking when they came to take her body away, that there would be no place for me to mourn, and no one to remember her to me. No one knew she died. No one was there to console me, tell me stories about her that only they knew. My husband did the best he could, but now I know that funerals really are a special necessary. To help the people who love them bear the sorrow.
Nevertheless, funerals are too expensive for many now, and I have to wonder…are people cremating and donating because they can’t afford a funeral?
Right above the bed, where my mother died, I put a giant poster of the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Whenever I asked her if there was one place she would want to go, she said it would be to Germany to see that Castle. So, I got a big beautiful gold frame, and engraved what I thought would go on her grave, and hung it right above the place that she died, in her King side bed which seemed to engulf her tiny body.
She never had the money to go to Germany, and I didn’t have the money to send her.
Eight months after my mother died, I had a dream, that her body was going into a cremation oven. It was on New Year Eve, 2002, that I had that dream. Her spirit hugged me before she went into that fire, and the love that I felt from her in that dream was bigger than ANY love I’ve ever felt on this earth. It was surreal. I often wonder if my mother’s body had been cremated that night for real, and why emotions in dreams can be so much stronger than in real life.
It was much later that I found out that bodies donated to science can go ANYWHERE. To dental students, to just about anywhere. The thought of my dad getting his teeth pulled out by a bunch of college students, when the real thing they should have been studying was his brain, left me horrified.
And by the way, in case you think that my parents were not religious, nothing could be farther from the truth. God, in our family, was in your heart, and in the sky, and a mystery to all mankind.
Which is why, the day after the dream, my husband and I both bought a Mega Million ticket, in which, we BOTH had the final number as 7, I took it as a sign from my parents who were thanking me for their lovely headstone that I designed in my head. Saying “See…you’re mates too!”
My mother’s King size bed was donated to the Veterans and in its place is my drum set, sitting under her ‘gravestone’ Castle in the sky. I play Gene Kruppa once in a while, because she always said when I played Gene Krupa’s “Sing, Sing, Sing” it put her to sleep.
You can’t do that in a graveyard. Just putting up the drum set alone would take a good 40 minutes.
So, don’t ask me why I’m telling you all this. It’s just that sometimes, when you have a creative dream…but wait! I just googled ‘coupled gravestones.”
I’m not the only one who had this dream…..darn. I was all ready to go be a stonemason.
You learn something new, every day….I better start saving up now….
Okay, bring the whole bed!
Makes you wonder who posed for this….
MY personal favorite and the one I would pick.
Congress & President Trump: There IS a Better Way. Find it.
Nobody Remembers
Listening to the doomsday whining about the failure of the GOP Obamacare lite, I got to thinking about two men; Reagan and Edison.
But before I remember Ronald Reagan and Thomas Edison today, let me say this:
I think, after hearing about the “failure” of the Trump/Ryan health care repeal failing all day…I’m actually hopeful. It’s a GOOD thing it failed. FINALLY. It’s being debated as all legislation should be. And anybody with a brain knows it. While the cable news networks are all crying that this is the end of the GOP, it’s all nonsense.
Good thing I’m not on TV, I would be saying “Hey, remember, Obama GAVE us this nightmare, do you think we can fix it in a day?”
This should give us hope, not despair. Better a good plan, than one that will cripple us further. Everybody knew, except President Trump and Paul Ryan, that universal health care in America will leave the almost destroyed middle class bearing even more of a burden than they do now. I would LIKE to think that President Trump will see that his wish for universal health care is not what the people voted for. This country is not the America of 2000, the year Trump wrote about his desire for universal health care in his book. I would hope he sees, that even though it’s what he thinks is best, is NOT what America wants. Nor, is it in line with free markets.
So, yes, I’m happy tonight. You can’t fix stupid in a day. Mr. President…WE CAN WAIT.
Every day, I roll my mouse over a mousepad that I bought in Ft. Myers, Florida, in the gift shop at Thomas Edison’s winter home. It’s frayed around the edges, and worn, and yet, it’s one of my favorite things. It has a picture of Edison and the words:
“There is always a way to do it better….find it.”–Thomas Edison
That’s what ‘we the people’ should be demanding of Congress. Hey guys, start over. FIND a better way.
There’s another favorite item of mine, and it’s a book called The Notes. It was a collection of Ronald Reagan’s Private Collection of notes that he kept in his desk, mostly quotes from others that he used to live his life by.
Let me share a few of President’s Reagan’s favorites.
Regardless of theoretical pretensions, socialism is nothing but the application of dictatorial power— Leonard Read
(Universal health care IS socialism.)
The germ of dissolution of our Fed. govt. is in the Fed. Judiciary, an irresponsible body working like gravity, gaining a little today & a little tomorrow, & advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction until all shall be usurped from the states & the govt. of all be consolidated into one. –Thomas Jefferson
(9th Circuit Court, Obamacare.)
It will be of little avail to the people who laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood: if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow. –Alexander Hamilton
(Obamacare is HOW many pages long? Thousands?)
And last but not least:
A nation can survive its fools & even the ambitious but it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears no traitor: he speaks in an accent familiar to his victims & wears their face & their garments….he rots the soul of the nation. He works secretly & unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city: he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. –Cicero
And so the infection of the ‘deep state’ is now to be feared. But hey! Thomas Edison didn’t give up. And because he didn’t give up to find that better way, the whole world was born anew.
Come on Congress…turn that light back on…go back to work…And Mr. President…
You KNOW….there has GOT to be a better way…FIND IT.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
