Hi there~
Me again, mouthin off...Does anybody REALLY care about what is happening to Tiger Woods? Don't we have enough of our own problems? Do they have to keep his story as the top news story for every news cast? So, he cheated, she is taking him to the cleaners, and he is losing sponsors~~big wup! He brought it all on himself by not controlling himself. I get a kick out of these doctors now calling it a 'sexual addiction'. Yeah, put a name on his infidelity! Don't put the blame where it belongs~his brain made him do it.. whatever! He thought he was so indestructible and so irresistable, and all these women (12 to date, now) are so heartbroken over the exposure. (boo hoo for them too!) Gee, he could print out a calendar and hang it on his office wall! These women are nothing but groupies, what did they expect? With all the exposure that he gets, you can't tell me that nobody in this world didn't know he was married...so what's your excuse now, girls?? One girl says 'I didn't even get a birthday card from him'. Who's fault was that? Each one of them should have sucked the life out of him financially before they climbed into bed. I am so over this story..let it die already! Just tell us the final result and let us know how much his wife got before (or after, it doesn't matter) she takes the kids to Sweden to raise them. Gee, maybe his next job will include 'do you want fries with that?'

Just the beginning~~~
Good Morning, earthlings! This is my very first blog, so I'll try to make it look like I know what I'm doing~~I was once told by my brother-in-law that I should become a news reporter, cause I always have something to say about whatever is going on. I tend to come up with the obvious (to me!) questions, but no one asks. I am always thinking 'outside the box', and I can't comprehend how I come up with questions that no one asks. Must be the 'creative' side of me that creeps out.. Anyway, a little about myself: I am a single grandmother of 6, and I love everyone of them. They are so much fun! My 6 year old grandson is constantly amazing me with his exploration of the world. I love to sit and watch him discover what is going on around him. I have 3 kids, my baby is now 30. With each one of them, I had to go back to work, and I missed alot of their discovery stages. It is so wild to see my grandson become amazed at something he sees. Usually, it is something that we have taken for granted all these years. He is the one that I see the most, as he lives about an hour away from me. I live in Florida. Four of my other grandchildren live in Virginia, and I miss them alot. I try to get to see them atleast once a year, but we keep in contact constantly. I have another granddaughter here in Florida, but I haven't seen her in over a year. She lives with her mother now, and being a teenager, she has her own life going on. Each one of my kids are the parents of both a boy and a girl. They all know that when grandma is around, so is a camera.
Anyway, enough about them for now.
I was a semi truck driver for 8 years, and I have been in 45 states and parts of Ontario, Canada. I enjoyed it very much, and don't regret learning how to accomplish driving a big rig. I have so many pictures from around our great country..I have alot of sunrises, sunsets, thunderstorms with light bolts shooting throughout the sky. I have a picture of a billboard that I actually turned around and went back to take the picture. It was for a 'Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival'. I knew if I described the billboard to my boys, they wouldn't believe me. I saw the Hoover Dam before the roadway was closed to truckers. (due to 9/11). I saw an awesome ice storm up in northern Ohio on U.S. 20 that covered a house and the trees in the yard. (my fav winter picture). I took a picture of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and had it blown up into a poster. I love to take pictures. Somehow, someday I will find a way to write and take pictures. I love to do both. They say that you should find something you love and do it. Well, this is the beginning. Now, if I could figure out a way to make money doing it....
I was hurt 2 years ago while I was in the truck, and even though I am in the process of suing them for getting hurt, they cut my work comp off in April 2008. I survived until Aug of 2008, and then I had to find something to do. I knew the owner of a restaurant, and talked him into hiring me so that I would have some kind of income to try and survive with. But, due to the economy, the restaurant closed in Oct. 2009. I was supposed to go for an appeal hearing in Nov, but it was postponed until Jan., 2010. I am desperately trying to survive. I know there are alot of other people in worse shape than I am, but I am scared. I have been in this house for over 5 years, and I am now 3 months behind on the mortgage. Last month's electric bill was $ 409. due to my well water tank having a hole in it. The pump was constantly running, and I couldn't do anything about it. This month's electric bill is $ 479., as I didn't get the tank fixed until Thanksgiving weekend. My neighbor replaced the tank for me, as I couldn't afford the plumbing people to do it. My next project is to have my front steps fixed before I fall through them. The people that owned this house before me had no clue when he built the stoop, and built the steps out of stucco and chicken wire. I have cracks in some of my walls where (I assume) the house is settling. The previous people didn't have the substandard plumbing replaced when there was a recall, so I have had (to date) 3 leaks. One of these leaks happened when I was on the road for 3 weeks, so the water ran into my bathroom for the time I was away. He could have had the plumbing replaced for free, but now when I have a leak, I have to pay for the repairs. My kitchen counter/sink/cabinets have to be replaced because of a leak in the plumbing under the sink. The bottom of the cabinets are warped, and the kitchen drawers become moldy.
I have been selling (real slowly) some flea market stuff on eBay to try and survive, but there's got to be a better way. I just wish this settlement was over with. A friend told me that the lawyers have this way of dragging things out to get you to either say 'forget it', or you die. That way they don't have to pay. I have two specialist reports saying I that I need further treatment on my hand to be able to do the things I used to. (tape your ring and pinky finger of your major hand~mine is my right hand~together and try to do things that you normally do.) My fingers are basically useless, and I have trouble doing even the simplest of things.
Anyway, I'll let you go for now....I need another cup of coffee. Have a super day!! Remember, no matter how bad things get, there is always someone else out there worse off...I am blessed, and I know I am loved...I just have to figure out what I'm doing, and which direction I am headed in. I welcome comments, and anything that you can inspire me with, I look forward to reading. My brother once told me: 'I always think I have it bad until I talk to you'. As true as that sounds, I had to laugh about it. Sometimes you have to laugh, I have found that it hurts to much to cry. Have a super happy day, people! I hope to have many friends out here in cyberspace!
