I noticed alot of people are down with the flu this year. Start listining to mom and wash your hands when you walk in the door and a few other spots also. That is how you cut down on the colds and flu bugs that are out there. I noticed with myself that when I wash my hands more I don't get sick as often also. And several are going thru cancer also now. This has got to stop at this point. I know there is a cure for cancer out there the Specialest's have got to get up off thier asses and put the drugs out there. Well 3 deaths from cancer is a little much for one family to go thru in a years time. I can not complain to much with 9 deaths in one year when the Hippies sister passed on. The last time I was in the St. Louis area is about when it all stoped. Yes there are alot of hard feelings that are left over in what went on and all I can say is I hope I am a better grandparent after the way I was treated by some of the family members that I have. Once I got old enough I started to voice my opinions and the poor woman who raised me knew She diden't raise no fool with me. Alot of my Cousins I just love dearly and nobody can take that away. I am built like all sides of the families that I have. I think I got all the left overs(laughing). And alot of good teachers on how to be totally cheap and frugal all at the same time. With 2 of the families that are in huge numbers of course and lots of cousins. Well at least I love my red heads of course. My hair has got darker with age and maybe it is the genetics that I have and that is ok. So I will not complain at all. Anyway I can now sit back all week and be alone now and go without the T.V. and a few other things during the week. Sometimes it is nice to have alot of time alone here. I can get more done alone thru the week than most can even bother in a month's time. Well Olliver is hollering again when the T.V. goes to the parental controle mode. Note to self beat the child who did this to the T.V. I won't go that far except slam the door in her face at this point unless Liberty-Ann really adjatates me. Liberty-Ann does have a last name which it is not Mercer at this point since all of the family has droped her on the curb in how she treated my Sister- in-Law. To beat a woman who is dieing of Cancer is sick. That is what this child did to the woman who raised her as her own. Now I never ever hate anyone at all. I do not even Hate my ex husband. Liberty-Ann got the Hatered from me. Becuase more than 3 folks told me about the girl beating a sick dieing woman. That is what alot of people diden't know that I was going thru in the past 4 years almost. That is why I am againsted "Doc's" bad attatude against me for sticking up for myself and getting my backbone back. He was acting worse than a spoiled rotten teenager of todays world. Alot of men I do know I just do not trust at all still at this point of time. I still don't trust the Hippy and I have known him for over 16 years at this point. First of all I do not put up with much from a man at all and refuse to. If a man doesen't like it oh well you have to totally earn my trust. I can still smell a woman beater from miles away and I have been away from the ex for almost 20 years at this point. ANd once I moved to NY State I trus nobody at all hardly. A very good friend will tell you I still do not trust her Husband all the way after 6 years. He hasen't done squat to me at all and I trust him with children all togeather. It is how I am. And will be. I know that my Hippy means well at all times. He asked earlier if I wanted food when he ate and I said no I will eat later on. I am still not really hungery at all but will eat here shortly. One of the perks of being alone is that I eat when I want to eat. Some folks complain about it but I can say I keep my own scedual up eather way. After this long why bother to change now. Ok folks have fun and play even harder.
