Warped Gratitude Blog

Today I am thankful for the insight of an unfortunate email from my Democrat Senator and a Liberal Troll.   I'll start with the Liberal troll - well make that trolls.....they're probably not even real people.  If they are, they're quite gullible.  They think that getting rid of guns will solve the violence that is allegedly epidemic in our community.  Remember....I live in Colorado.  Um....this was the Wild, Wild West at one point time.  People had to be tough to survive the land.  Colorado was build on the backs of minorities and women - tough people built this place. We survived guns.  Even with all of those guns, there were no mass shootings in schools until 1999.  I graduated from a Jeffco school in 1987 and intended to raise my kids there.  I wound up moving away from Jefferson County in 1997 because the district ignored tips about violent threats of other students. This is WHY the shooting happened at Columbine. ...

Today I grow tired of the numerous threats that impact the schools in the state of Colorado . Apparently, this is going on across the country. My kids are terrified. Keep in mind, we were stalked by my ex-husband's family. Our terror could be worse than that of other families. I am NOT going to mince words here. The politicians need to stop playing games, start reviewing the situation with open eyes and secure our schools NOW. The Democrat politicians who fill my Facebook feed are whining about the need to curtail the second amendment.  I wonder, on some sick and disturbing level, if a political faction would not be above calling in threats to numerous schools to try to compel parents into giving up their freedoms. Here is the thing - I DO NOT SEE OR HEAR ONE SINGLE THING ABOUT SECURITY IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. NOT ONE THING. How did that little F*(##@!% get into the school?  Why in the heck did the school cop run? David Hogg is right about one thing, the...

Today I am thankful for insight. I think I understand the problem of CO-PEP and other government run social service programs..... they're automated! They've gotten rid of caseworkers....you know, the people you can actually talk to, who are supposed to understand family situations....the kind who are supposed to pay attention and make decisions.  The people we can share paperwork regarding fraud with. Now, everything is automated. Machines make the decisions.  Case workers have been replaced by call center staff who tell the people who they are supposed to represent to hire attorneys they cannot afford. I get it now. My ex is a covert narcissist.  They are very good at making themselves out to be victims.  They only provide as much information as they can to paint a picture. He's convinced everyone that he can only make $12 an hour based on a call center job he held for a few weeks.  He's passed himself off as homeless and has been put in a shelt...

Today I am thankful for the internet..... even though it can be frustrating.   Do you remember that scene in Men in Back, where K shares with J that the supermarket gossip rags contain just enough truth to help agents see what it going on? This is how I feel about conspiracy websites. Sadly, it is always the same.... after every mass shooting.... there are news stories on major networks with witness accounts claiming multiple shooters on the location. When one tries to put together a compellation of these stories, the are removed from the internet. I just saw one this morning from a station in Houston as a KHOU 10 reporter was in Florida to cover a sports story. Now....I can't find it. I saw a similar story from a Las Vegas station shortly after that shooting. There was one from a Denver station after the theater shooting.  I think it was KUSA. These legitimate stories tend to disappear after a couple of days. It's just enough to make me...

Today I am thankful that I'm reminded why I need to get back to being me.  They say change comes about in three incidents. Over the past five years, I have gained about forty pounds and four dress sizes.  This happened when I gave up vegetarianism due to the discovery of my allergies: I can't eat soy, wheat, peanuts, eggs, shellfish, bananas, peaches and many other things. Someone told me about Jackfruit .  They said I could cook with it in a similar fashion to tofu. I was excited and ran to my favorite Asian Market in Aurora.  I love the people in this city because they are so friendly.  I had so many questions about the food, a kind young woman gave me a lesson on how to pick it out.  I picked out a beautiful one!. Then I learned that the little threads that surround the meat contain latex .  She helped me so much, I had to buy it.  I couldn't put it back.  I am deathly allergic to latex.  Even though I bought a Jackf...

Today I am thankful that I change my email addresses several times a year.  I just forward the mail from my old email addresses to the new ones. Someone.... managed to hack two email addresses I've used for over 20 years. According to Msn and Hotmail, they were still signed into the accounts.... they even went so far as to change my recovery phone number. The last people who hacked these accounts were my in-laws. I found out, eventually, that they got my password from my ex-husband. Sweeties - I don't get email there. Have fun trying to track me down. If you still believe I'm a black magick witch, it's a Thursday during a waning moon. I'm all for bloodletting and cursing. ****** Mikey.....Mikey....pay attention - You've won. You don't have to pay child support for at least 2 1/4 years. No one I know about has even discussed defunding your champions over at CO-PEP - yet. They've voted to defund the Colorado Civil...

Today I am thankful that I have a battery of appointments at the local breast cancer treatment center.   10:00 a.m.  I leave in about 45 minutes. I'm hoping for good news. 2:40 p.m.  They found a lump.  The doctor believes it to be benign. I'm just going to continue drinking my essiac tea....just in case. See? Second opinions are always important! I go back in six weeks for my final results. Love ya, S.

Today I am thankful for the realization that I share too much of myself online.   Sigh.... I just had an alleged psychic email me on my business account. This person knew far too many details about my life.  This person even wrote about things I've never shared here. The writer went on to tell me that I was taking on too many jobs and that I should focus on my life's passion....helping people through hypnotherapy. That's probably good advice.... Then, this person, went on to make a few predictions about my life. It was even predicted that I would marry a man of a certain ethnicity and certain age who hailed from the Tri-State Area. Well....it turns out that I have a Facebook friend of that exact age and ethnicity who hails from New Jersey. Everything that was mentioned was posted to Facebook in the past eighteen months. This is strange because I don't post very often and my friends list is set to private. I'm going to bet that a Facebook fri...
