35 British Basics Americans Think Are “Illegal”

 

What I’m Thankful For

Lord, thank you for:

Family

Friends

My Church Family

Good Health so far

Living in a free country

Another good day

And so much more…

 

Poor Caroline

She lost her father and an Uncle to murder

She lost her Mother to cancer

She lost her brother in a plane crash

She’s losing her daughter to cancer

Her cousin has lost his mind

Keep strong Girl!

 

I’m No Catholic

But I’m becoming a fan of Pope Leo.  He seems to be a man of tremendous faith, cares about everyone, no matter what religion they are, and is walking the walk.  He is one Christian who takes Jesus’ command to care for immigrants, the poor, and those less fortunate seriously.  And that he’s pissed off MAGA doesn’t hurt his standing with me either…Well done, Your Holiness!

Let’s Get One Thing Straight

Did You Believe Any Of These?

 

You Are No Christian

If you cheer at elderly, disabled, poor working, or kids not being able to  eat. Jesus would be ashamed of you.

I May Have Found My Calling

Maybe writing is the thing for me. I’ve got so many ideas going through my head, I literally can’t sleep at night.  I’ve written a bunch of fanfiction, and am working on some short stories/possible novels.We shall see..

If Trump Can Get A Third Term..

I’d gladly vote for Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. Hell, If they didn’t want to run, I’d vote for George W. Bush.

The Best Game I’ve Ever Watched?

Last night’s game 3 or the World Series was one for the ages. Let’s See:

The best player in Baseball reaching base 9 times, with 4 intentional walks

Freddie Freeman hitting a walkoff homer for the second Word Series in a row

A strike that wasn’t a strike resulting in a pickoff

An incredible relay throw to cut off a potential game winning run in extra innings

A Hall of Fame bound  pitcher getting a clutch out in probably his final appearance in the big leagues

Several clutch pitching performances

We’ll see if any of the remaining games can top this!

Oh Amanda

How can I get your attention to talk to you, get to know you better, and let  you know that I’m interested in you? We have so much in common!

If You Can’t Accept Me Because Of My Weight And Looks

That’s your problem, not mine!  It still gets on my nerves every once in a while, but not as much as it used to. I shouldn’t have to change myself to get your approval.

Charlie Kirk Was Not A Nice Guy

He was a racist, homophobe, Christian Nationalist anti-woman bigot. That being said, he didn’t deserve to be gunned down either.  I don’t know if we can ever get back to political parties being able to agree to disagree.  Differences of opinion should not result in violence. And let us not forget  about former Minnesota House speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog, who were victims of a political based murder a few months back.

Remember This, Donald

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.

Theodore Roosevelt

The Hypocrisy Of It All

Where were all of the GOPers who are mourning Charlie Kirk’s  murder when Melissa Hortman, former speaker of the Minnesota house of representatives, her husband, and dog were shot and killed, and a state senator and his wife were shot and severely injured?  Oh right, because the Minnesota victims were Democrats.

To Those Who Bullied Me In School…

Be glad Reddit wasn’t around back then. I would have not vowed revenge on you, but r/nuclearrevenge.

Make It Make Sense!

So…getting shot and killed while trying to overthrow the government gets you a burial with military honors at Arlington, and you family gets 5 million dollars?!

Any Parent…

Who would disown their own child because of their sexual orientation is no parent. What ever happened to unconditional love?

When did caring for America’s most vulnerable kids become political?

A Confession

I’ve told you all about how bad it was in school, how I was bullied all the time because of my weight.  But what I didn’t tell you was that it got so bad at times that I wanted  to end it all.  The pain and humiliation was so bad I just wanted to kill myself.  I felt like no one, not my teachers, not the school administration, not even my parents cared about me, and that everyone would be better off if I ceased to exist.  Thankfully, I never went through with my plans.  If you’re in the same situation, don;t give up.  Keep looking until you find someone that will listen to you and take you seriously.

I’m A Christian..

That practices the teachings of Jesus.  I show compassion for those down on their luck, do not hate anyone because they think differently then me, don’t condemn Gays or minorities, support immigrants.  Too bad most of these politicians who claim to be Christian don’t follow the same path!

Letting Poor People Starve……

But coming up with 200 million to build a ballroom onto the White House. Just another reason to call for a general strike.  The French had it right back in the 1790’s…

If Anything Good Has Come Out Of Losing My Parents...

Is that my oldest sister Julie and I have gotten closer  She's 11 years older then me, and was out of the house, married, and had a kid before I was 6 or 7.  Aside from seeing her a couple of weeks during the summer when I was in my teens, we didn't see much of each other.  Even after we moved here to West Virginia and we lived right next to each other, we still didn't talk much, because she and Mom didn't get along.  But since our parents are now both gone, we see and talk to each other every day.  She's been such a help...

Just Remember…

Your past doesn’t define your future. If there have been rough patches in your life, don’t let them control you, like I did for so many years.  You can’t change your past, but you can prepare for your future, and it could be brighter then you ever expected!

A Profound Quote

"The Only Power People Have Over Us Is The Power We Give Them"

Don’t Worry

There is no child crisis.  Who the Hell would want to have a kid in the US at this time anyway?  It sound like the GOP/religious nuts want a fresh supply of white kids to do all the work, since red states are killing child labor laws.

I Wish I Knew What I Was Doing Wrong

I’m a nice guy, respectful to everyone, you’d think that there would be a woman out there that would be interested in me.  I have no illusions of grandeur about myself I’m just an ordinary average guy in search of love.

Some Books I’d Love to Have With Me If I Were Stranded on A Desert Island

1: The Bible-As a Christian, that’s a no brainer!

2: Anything by James Patterson-Got to have some action and mystery!

3: 2 or 3 books from the Game of Thrones series: They’re long, have to have something to kill time.

4: A few from Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series: mystery and humor. Stephanie’s always getting into some sort of trouble while bringing the bad guys in.

5: Any of my history books, I’d go crazy without them!

What’s your list?

Thanks And Praise To You Lord

That those polyps taken out of me during that colonoscopy came back clean!  I guess that shows that you have more for me to do, just please show me what it is!

If ever there was a book that sounded like it was written about me It was this one

 

One Fat Summer by Robert Lipsyte. Change my name for Bobby Marks’ and it does a good job echoing what I went through when I was a kid. The bullying because of my weight, the criticism from some of my own family, having few friends: sounds all too familiar. The only difference was that I still have not been able to lose weight even after over 40 years. I knew that there was probably going to be a lot of blowback in my mind when I read this, and I was right. I never want to read this book again, It’s the closest I’ve come to having a nervous breakdown!

Linda Ronstadt-When Will I Be Loved

 

Better Late Then Never

My Mom left me some money when she died, so I decided to use it to go back to school. I wanted to go to college after high school, but I was not in a good place when I graduated because of all the bullying done to me.  I’m taking classes at our local community college. So far, so good. I’m really enjoying it, and hopefully this marks a  new beginning!

Reading Is Power

If you don’t read, you don’t know what you’re missing!  Expand your horizons!

That all those that bullied me and otherwise tortured me in school are mostly happily married with families but I am all alone.

If I Were An Officer In Any Of The US Armed Forces..

I’d resign my commission effective January 20.  Trump not only wants to use the military to possibly take over Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal,  but also wants to use them against peaceful protesters.  I would want nothing to do with any of those actions.  They would be unlawful orders, but  I don’t think that would stop him.
