Trump Wants To Kill Us

Trump Is Trying To Kill Americans By Sewing Fauci's LIPS.

As I sit here in front of my computer tonight I'm asking myself, "What can I do to help stop Trump's actions?" 

I'm at a loss.  He is literally trying to kill us #babyboomers by not letting us know the truth.  The truth about what's really going on.

Right now I am so ashamed of this country and its leadership, and I need to quit watching the news.

But that's not me. How can I use my voice to stop his STUPIDITY?

REVOLT is the first thing that comes to mind.  But how do we do that? 

I'm so sad, frustrated, infuriated, sick to my stomach and disappointed.

WE MUST VOTE HIM OUT!

Life In The Mid-West During Lockdown


I really haven't had anything positive to say, so I've avoided writing.

But, I thought about it and I do have positives:

We Are Healthy.
We Are Safe.
We Are Helping by Doing Lockdown.
My Husband Hasn't Lost His Job.
My Daughter is Able to Have her Psychology Appointments Online.
We have Food.
We have Toilet Paper.
Our Dogs Are Healthy.
Enjoying One Another's Company.
My Family is Healthy Thus Far.
My Son and His Family Are Healthy.
and last but not least... WE ARE NOT STUPID, we ARE WISE.



I was literally shocked today to read that Trump wants the world up and running by Easter.

Is the man insane?  Actually, he'd rather see Americans die than have a broken economy.  How sad.  Truly and completely sad than he doesn't have more empathy and compassion for mankind.

And, #whereisFauci?  The only person it seemed like we could trust what he was saying and had a competent background in science to make sense of it all?  Is Trump shutting him up?  Trump doesn't like being upstaged, but I don't think that was Dr. Fauci's intention at all.  He was a calm in the storm and now he's not talking during the Rally Updates.

My heart hurts.  My heart hurts for our country on so many levels.  All other countries have been laughing at us the past few years and now they are seeing how truly incompetent our President is.

For us... we will continue to hold the line.  Stay at home and help in preventing the spread.  We are not stupid, we are wise.  Don't let allow this President to sway you into thinking everything will be ok because we are in a different world now.  We need to STAND UP to what we know is right, we are wise!!

Attending "Senior Hour" At the Local Grocery Store #HyVee on St. Clair and Barry

No, Senior Hour isn't like Happy Hour.  Senior Hour is 7-8 AM when one of our local grocery stores has selected just for seniors to shop for groceries.

Yesterday we participated because we needed some staples. 

I have to give it to the local #Hy-Vee off St. Clair and Barry Rd. #HelpfulSmileStrong  They had a security guard at the front door.  A smiling, nice jovial guy.  Which was a pleasant surprise.  And EVERYONE was working in the stores...the managers, the stockers, the checkers.. everyone!  Just trying to make sure that the customers had what they needed or could find it.  Yes, we were able to get toilet paper and paper towels. I didn't notice if there was a limit, we aren't the hoarder types.

When we pulled into the parking lot at 7:02 AM, I couldn't believe that the parking lot was full up to the street.  We were already wearing our gloves and I had on my face protection.  Not looking very becoming, but I didn't really care.


Really ~hot~ huh? LOL
What absolutely amazed me were the shoppers... and not a good amazed.  They were about 95% elderly, well over my age (LOL).  But I would say I saw perhaps 5 people out of hundreds wearing any gloves.  Those gloves, by the way, are still easily available. I saw even less wearing ANY TYPE of FACE PROTECTION.  I can say I'm glad I did.

I thought maybe I was the weirdo here until I ran into a Dr. and his wife that I know, wearing the same protective get-up.  We looked at each other and I held up my hands and said to the wife, "WHY IS IT ONLY US?" She shook her head and said, "I don't know!"  

It truly made me want to go home, get on Amazon, order a case of gloves and stand in front of the store and hand them out to each person entering.

It took us almost an hour to muddle through the aisles amidst the other folks.  Then we packed it all in the car and came home.

We have totally new rules in the house..... NOTHING is brought in without being sprayed down with #Lysol or wiped completely with #Clorox wipes.  Call us crazy, but we're taking this really seriously.  It took me longer to wipe each single item from the grocery store down and put it away than it did for us to shop for them.  I don't care, we're doing our part to stay safe.

I've even talked "Mr. I'm Not Worried" into wearing gloves. So when Mr. Positivity conforms you know it's serious. 

I'm still thinking about and worried about my family and friends.  I talked to a friend yesterday that the store he worked for was closing.  Instead of keeping the workers jobs for them when they opened back up they fired everyone and will not pay them their accrued vacation pay.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  #Savers 
is the company (on Barry Rd.) and I think this is atrocious of them to do this at a time when we are all worried about the future.  Closing down is understandable, but pay the people what they have coming.  I'll never go to that store again.

Read a book today, call a friend, Facetime with family.  Try to do something to keep your mind off the situation. We're all in this together

The Awakening, in The Dawn of COVID-19

The Awakening, in The Dawn of COVID-19

This is an old blog I had that needs to be resurrected.  Resurrected to try and help people realize the severity of the situation the United States is in amidst the #COVID19virus.

First and foremost, I'd like to recognize this Champion, that tried to warn us what was coming, but the Chinese government/police shut him up.

Dr. Li

How sad that he died from the virus, merely trying to warn the world.


 

In my 65 years, I never imagined I would see what we are facing and doing today in America.

I think the eye-opener for me was going to Sam's about two weeks ago and seeing the toilet paper aisle. I was so taken back, I couldn't believe my eyes. There was nothing there. I was shocked. There was absolutely no toilet paper in a place where toilet paper and paper towels are King.

Let this picture sink in.
Upon getting home, we then started our self-isolation.  It was a real eye-opener.  Wide eye-opener!

Upon getting home, I wrote this."Here at home, we are taking precautions. My daughter has OCD and anxiety over germs, so we are taking extra precautions. But people, I've never seen anything like what Sam's felt like today. I spent a good amount of time watching people, looking in their eyes, their expressions, their body-language.... being an empath it was evident to me... people are scared. I think that last night's address from Trump caused that fear. How do you go from "it's just like the flu and it will go away" to a stone-faced discussion about how it's now a pandemic. Sam's visit today was even a bigger awakening for me. Wide-awake awakening. I've never seen anything like it and I was extremely "taken back" at the severity of the situation. It made me think of what it must have been like during the depression, although that wasn't a disease. I thought about a friend of mine that cannot go see her mother in the nursing home anymore. I thought about friends and people I know that have health conditions and their immune system can't tolerate any type of exposure. I thought about people who have elderly family members in their home that don't want to bring it home to them. I'm shaking my head. I can't believe this, is it real? Yes, it is folks... very real. If you don't believe me, take the time to look around. This is a different world than we've ever faced before. I'll never make fun of the people who are worrying about being able to wipe their butts in the future. I have never considered myself an alarmist. I consider myself pretty level headed under pretty much any circumstance. But THIS... THIS is something we've never experienced. If you think it's a joke or over-sensationalized... I have to disagree. Get your head out of the sand and prepare for the next 4-6 weeks of wiping your asses and hopefully living through this. Peace out, mic drop, whatever..... blessings to each of you as we tread through this together, because it's going to take EACH ONE OF US to be vigilant."

That was March 12th, the year of the pandemic 2020.
