I was born into a Democrat family. They were registered Democrats; that's how my parents voted every four years...and they never missed. If they talked politics around us kids we don't remember and that is probably because we weren't paying attention to the boring stuff.
Of what I have read, most of the Democrat presidents (before the yahoo we have now came along) were good. But the Democrat party back then wasn't even close to today's party and I would have been proud to have voted for most of them. However, I didn't become a registered voter until 2012. There was only one reason for that -- so B.O. was not elected again. I wanted him beaten in the worst way, but the Republicans had such a lame candidate that it was a slam dunk for the Democrats. And what a shame that was.
Which brings us to now. Almost eight years later. I thought I would not last through the first four years but I gritted my teeth and held on for the duration. And then we got punished and received another four years of the same old crap. But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. At least I hope I can see it.
I am here to say, again, that if HRC was the only candidate I would not vote for her in a million gazillion years. She turns my stomach. She makes me want to run down the street pulling my hair and screaming at the top of my lungs. Do you get the picture? We do not need four more years of the crap the Democrats have been shoving down our throats. That woman does not represent anything near to my beliefs. But Donald Trump does...in so many ways.
Trump had our votes before the first debate was over. I cheered, I shouted, I clapped my hands. And I couldn't believe how close he came to how we both felt about this country and the current administration. I would like to interject here that I never liked that show, The Apprentice, and I never watched it because at that time I was not a fan of Donald Trump's despite the fact I did not know anything about him. But after that first debate we felt that, no, he does not scare us, and he hasn't since. He is what this country desperately needs.
My husband and I are both fed up with the BS that is currently going on in Washington and we are afraid if Hillary gets in there that nothing will change. She is a chronic liar from day one and has such a bad history with her partner in crime, Mr. Bill. She is loaded down with so much baggage it's a wonder she can even walk.
Far too many people in Washington are afraid of Trump because they know if he gets elected they will lose their perks etc., most of which are taxpayer funded.
We need change and we need a new challenge. Otherwise we will never get back what we had as far as this country goes. And as of now it seems to be headed nowhere but down. Let's lift it back up again and get it on the right track.
VOTE TRUMP!
Yes, I am still alive and kicking. I just needed some time away from this blog. And others. I read a few every day and comment very little. As a matter of fact I left some comments on one blog that I rarely read but it was a subject near and dear to my heart and I left her know it. It ended with my not visiting that blog any time soon -- I left on my terms.
At my age I get angry quite quickly. And often. My latest anger is aimed at our local township. Living here 30 years now and paying for a street light only because the radius of the light supposedly touches our lot next to the one we live on has gotten to be a pain in my you-know-what. The fee is added to our taxes so we pay twice for that light due to having two separate properties alongside one another. I have been voicing my opinion for almost two years and have also attended a township meeting. What I want is for everyone in this township to pay for those lights -- not just a select few whose properties are "touched" by the light given out. And even that has changed since the electric company has changed the type of bulbs they use -- they now shine down rather than a supposedly 250 ft. radius. That is total nonsense. At the last meeting I did not attend someone brought the subject up on our behalf but they decided to wait until the end of the year to address the matter. Well, I know how that works -- it will have been forgotten and nobody will want to discuss it. I will be there to keep it on the front burner.
If everyone paid a little for all the lights, those of us who are now paying would have our light fee lessened by a lot of $$$, With that in mind, there is another township meeting coming up this Monday and I will be there with bells on and well prepared this time to do battle with those who think they are smarter than me just because they have a rinky-dinky title.
Other than my street light battle nothing much has been changed since I last wrote at the beginning of this year. And speaking of that, I cannot believe it is more than half over already.
One thing that has been going on is the big two-story barn/garage at the end of our property that will be torn down in the coming weeks. My husband has contracted with an Amish company so I know they will do a good job. They will also be in charge of the one-story metal pole building that will be built in its place. That will keep us busy for a few months. I know that once it gets started it won't take long to finish because the Amish work fast and do things right the first time. We recently applied for the permits and picked everything up yesterday so we are good to go.
I would document the razing of the old building and the erection of the new one via pictures but for some reason my camera card no longer works in the computer tower.
That's it for now; I hope to add more things as the days fly by.
