Domestic Violence: It's EVERYBODY'S Business!

Image
Domestic Violence does not discriminate against age, race, color, creed, gender or sexual orientation. The U. S. Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) defines domestic violence as a "pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner" .  The definition adds that domestic violence "can happen to anyone regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender", and that it can take many forms, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional, economic, and psychological abuse Our society, both here in the United States and world-wide, have been conditioned to think and believe that domestic violence only means women and children.   But the sad fact is, it also includes boys and men. “When we ignore male victims of domestic abuse, we also ignore their children, who continue to be damaged by witnessing the violence regardless of how severe it is. We cannot br...

Being The Dregs Master

Image
dregs:   the most undesirable parts;  the last remaining parts Back when I was a kid, I saw this documentary on how gold is made into bullion.  It was fascinating to watch those little nuggets melted down and the man skimming the top of that golden liquid with a ladle like instrument.  The narrator informed us that he was removing the dregs.  Being a curious child, I asked my mother what dregs were.  She said that was the stuff that was useless and worthless.  The same process was used in making wine, she told me.     I then asked what would happen if they kept those dregs in.  She informed me that the gold would be worthless and the wine would go bad.  It would be of no use to anyone! The removal of the dregs is a painstaking process that reaps great rewards.  It is a process that cannot be hurried.    Dependent upon the individual product, the removal technique may require numerous efforts...

Image
Cranial Uppitus Gluteus Maximus Dysfunction.   More commonly  known as, Head Stuck Up Your Ass Syndrome .  This is one of the most common dis-eases known to humankind.  There are no pills or serum to cure this malady.  Nor are there any modern conventional medical means in which to have it surgically repaired.   At least not yet! But do not fall into despair my fellow earth travelers!  There is hope!  In fact, many are taking the opportunity to self-heal themselves by moving with the energies of a shifting process.   This shifting process is none other than …  The ASS-cension . The ASS-cension is the process of pulling one’s head out of one’s ass.  And thankfully it is a process that all human experiencers will go through ---eventually.  No exceptions! Right now, the entire population of human experiencers are currently  in the state of ASS-cending on various levels.  Sadly, those who have succe...

So in honor (and in celebration) I am reposting this review for you! Be Sure to purchase your copy TODAY! Book Review by Julia K. Cole After reading Poisoned Heart , tears filled my eyes.

On the contrary! Vera’s love and respect for Dee Dee is apparent with each page you turn. Done with class, style and taste, P...

Congress and The President: A few Reminders for each of You!

Image
I will remind both Congress and the President -- of the following: (1) you are public servants.   The American People are not your servants -- not your slaves.  You work for the American People.  (2) you have proven you are irresponsible, incompetent and self-serving.   Your actions, both past and present, are proof of this. (3) you are dispensable and can -- WILL -- be replaced . We The People see this and are rapidly growing tired of it.  Enjoy the time you have -- it is growing shorter each day.  You are dispensable. And you can be -- and will be replaced!  Remember that! (4) the American People as a whole are not ignorant -- We are not mindless sheeple.  We The People are educating ourselves and each other.  Many of us take the responsibility to remind their fellow Americans of your flagrant disregard of this Great Nation and her people.   Yes Congress and Mr. President -- We The People DO KNOW the difference b...

Dirty Spending Secrets REVEALED

Image
Let's take a look at a few of the things you member of Congress have been passing over the years ...  $50 Million a Year for 1,125 Postal Workers Who Are Ordered to Do Nothing Each Day. Explains why my mail is always late!  And too, it helps me to understand  why the Post Offices are being forced to shut down!  Guess those folks who got paid for sitting  on their butts can now do it at home. $2.6 million to teach Chinese prostitutes how to drink responsibly on the job. This one caused my imagination to go into over-drive.   Now I wonder--was Congress  concerned  that the prostitutes would be too drunk to give a blow job properly?    Or maybe their concerns were over the thought of  these prostitutes injuring themselves while being on top? (Puts a whole new meaning on the old "don't drink and drive!" -- don't it?)  And then there are a few questions that came up --- Am I to assume American ...
