Sometimes I forget....

That stupid people will get nasty to you if you do not see things their way.  They will also manipulate the facts or things said in a conversation to what they think is their point. Ignorant people have an insidious way of getting under my skin.  Most of the time I can ignore them, they are dense, so why even bother trying to talk some sense into them.  But on that rare occasion, when I just can not take the hypocrisy, self promotion and total disregard for anyone or anything around them, I loose it. Hey, Im human after all, and really how much ignorance can one person take?

I should know that I should never actually write something down, send a letter or IM pointing out that they are losers or pieces of shit or how obtuse and hypocritical they actually are.  But unfortunately I dont always listen to my own advice, and I know better, yet something just takes hold of me and does crazy things.  Maybe at the point when even cold hard facts make them even dumber, its just more than I can believe and delirium takes hold of me.

So how do you deal with a moronic asshole anyway?  Thats not easy, I would have to say the best most beneficial way is to just completely ignore them.  However sometimes thats not that easy, especially on social networking sites when every time they post something more unintelligent or hypocritical than the last, they tag you, dragging you back into their dumb little self absorbed world.

In the end, I know I am wiser than they are and in truth, I am a better person than they for the simple reason that I want the truth, facts, knowledge and understanding rather then just take someones word for it or rely on a "feeling" because "one day a long time ago something bad happened".  For whatever reason they just don't have the capacity to see the whole big picture and are usually afraid of what they do not fully understand on their own.

So my advice is to just steer clear of Stupid People, you will usually gain nothing from conversations with them and only end up making yourself look like the bad guy no matter how dimwitted and hypocritical some people are.

Snow Day

So it was supposed to be the storm of the century, 24" or more of snow, traveling bans, alternate side of the street parking suspended, stores running out of bread, milk, eggs and toilet paper, and then it bared down on us over night.

I checked the employee website in the morning before i even looked outside, in giant letters it read...CLOSED...yippee SNOW Day!

By the time I looked outside, I have to say I was a bit disappointed.  We had gotten about 4" if that of snow over night.  the street outside my house was clear and another plow was coming down the road just for good measure.

I made some coffee and settled in to check out the morning news.  By 7:30 am they had lifted the travel ban and most of the silly other things they do when we actually get 24" of snow.  I checked the employee site again, still no work.  Im pretty sure I could have made it if I had tried.

So I figured that I would do a little work from home, right after I clean my car off.  Needless to say, work didn't go that far its actually harder to work from home than one would think.  Im done now, thats my story, now Im going to take a nap...

Happy Snow Day All

Charity - The Sato Project

There is a place in Puerto Rico called Dead Dog Beach.  It is named this because this is the place where bad people go to dump and torture unwanted dogs.  People use these sick and baby animals for target practice, shooting and beating them and just leaving them for dead.  These dogs are called Satos which loosely translates into street dog.

There are estimated to be tens of thousands or maybe more of these satos on the island of Puerto Rico where shelters have a euthanization rate of about 97%.  These poor animals don't have a chance.  They are usually small to medium (between 30 and 45 lbs) sized dogs and very smart and quick to learn.  They are a mixed breed animal that usually has similar characteristics such as crooked ears and a short snout.  They are primarily a combination of working class dogs.

The reason why this charity holds a place in my heart is because my boy, Reilly is a sato.  I adopted him in November 2013 from a rescue and he really is my heart.  Of course he is seriously spoiled like the rest of my animals but I just can not imagine him living the life of one of these unfortunate street animals.  That is why I choose this charity, The Sato Project as my 1st charity to donate my profits too.

Thier website is http://www.thesatoproject.org/

If you have any questions or comments please email me or post your questions here.

Thank you all in advance for not only your purchases but for your support.

2014 In Review - for better or worse

Wow, I just cant believe its actually the last day of 2014 today!  It has been a game changing year for sure not only for me personally but also for the United States and the World at large.

For myself, if you read this blog, you know that In April I made the decision to have bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve) and on September 2nd, I actually went through with it and as of today, December 31st, 2014 I am down 65 lbs total from my pre surgery weight of 348 lbs!

In December, actually about a week ago, Xmas Eve, I got a huge diamond engagement ring from my long time (14 years) boyfriend, which made me very happy!

In the world, early on in 2014, we had to deal with these assholes Isis hacking off peoples heads.  I dont know about you but there is nothing there but sand and people that live in sand, why would anyone that isnt a soldier want to even be there?

There was the Malaysia airliner that went down somewhere in or near the indian ocean, never to be found again and another one later in the year that was shot down over the Ukraine.  I would stay off that airlines for sure.

We had huge mudslides in washington state that killed 40 people, what a way to go right?  Oh and how can we forget the Ebola scare in the US?  Unfortunately its still raging over in africa but didn't come anywhere near what a lot of people thought would happen on US soil.

We had Robin Williams suicide, NFL Players beating their wives and children, Bill Cosby rape allegations.  The deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner that lead to people rioting (protesting?) in the streets and even worse, the execution of several police officers.

On a better note, we also had more states open their minds and hearts to gay marriage and a few more that legalized marijuana.

We had the GOP take over the senate, the economy start to get better and I read yesterday that the gas prices are at the lowest price ($58.00 a barrel) since 2009 (i'm thinking the gas prices should be lower then, maybe under $2.00 a gallon)

And to end the year right, Sony pictures gets slammed by Lil Kim for a comedic movie about trying to assassinate him.  What a little bitch he is!  I guess he still doesn't realize that his whining made that stupid movie a smash hit because NOW everyone wants to see it!

All that come this way, Have a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year!

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to any and all that come here to read.

I look back on this year as one of a lot of change.  It started off slow, a lot of snow and bad weather.

In April, with the coaxing of a couple of friends, I finally made the appointment with a surgeon to get the bariatric sleeve surgery that I desperately needed if I ever wanted to live till I was 50!

In May, I could barely walk or bend over or breathe for that matter.  I was still not totally convinced about even having the operation.  It was a major change and expense even with my insurance.

By mid year, June, I was probably at the heaviest I had ever been, 350 lbs.  My diabetes and overall health suffered greatly.  I was diagnosed with sleep apnea now too.  I was taking 200 units of insulin a day and my blood sugar was still not under control.  The gardening that I loved so much, I just could not do.  The puppy I loved so much, I just could not play with.

By the middle of June, I decided I would just go with the flow, make the doctors appointments, pay my co-pays and see if that lead me to the surgery.  My pre surgery appointment was June 30th the surgery was scheduled for July 16th.

The day before surgery it was called off because of the Pulmonologist insisted I go on a CPAP machine before the operation.  I was going to give up, but I decided I would just do what I had to do to get the end result.

My surgery was re-scheduled for Sept 2nd.  And this time, I was present and accounted for.  I even brought my CPAP machine (which they never bothered to put on me or make me use while I was there, guess it wasn't so detrimental after all!).

My recovery into September was hard, I'm not going to lie.  They kept me in the hospital for 2 days because the anesthesia just wreaked havoc on me and lets face it, it was a major operation, removing 90% of your stomach.  It was hard and uncomfortable to walk, but walk was what I had to do.  I was out of it for at least 4 days.

I started to get better, I followed the Surgeons orders, and started to loose weight for the 1st time in years, I was actually able to lose weight.   Not only that, my insulin intake went from 200 units a day to 60 units a day.  Pre-surgery my A1c was 10.6, today, its 6.6!

So Today it is 3 months and 22 days since I had this gastric sleeve surgery and I am down 63lbs.  I still have at least another 100lbs to go but just being down this first 63 lbs, I feel like I can do anything.  I feel great, I am starting to look better and I go for walks now, and I can sleep on my back now!  (yes I got rid of that stupid CPAP machine that I never used!)  I cant wait till the spring I have so much I want to do in my yard and now I CAN!

As I look back on this year of change, I can honestly say that I am truly happy with the decisions that I have made for myself.  I have also learned that sometimes the decisions are hard but the rewards are great and the sacrifice doesn't really matter.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Everyone !!
