Lets see who I am ....... Shall we ?

     

 Greetings from the far side of the inter web . Before my mother passed away she and her sister worked on the family tree . ( I could not begin to tell who started and could really care less .....)
OUCH ! ....you may say but you see my mothers family has to be taken with a shot of bourbon . To Hell with a grain of Salt or a spoon full of Sugar .Come to find out this is a serious business.... You would not believe the stuff One finds out about Ones family when you jump on ancestry.com .I mean I have worked on the tree my self and before mom passed away in 2008  we dabbled along with the Whose uncle was that ? Is that her sister ? Who do they belong too?"deal. I really enjoyed working on the family tree with her .Than she got sick and died 6 months and I put the family tree out of my mind until spring before last and I was at my moms house moving some of her plants ...( she loved plants) Until one day I looked in the old chicken coup I stumbled across this box of papers and low and behold there it was ..... My mothers family tree thrown in to a box in a leaky old chicken coup .   I it scooped in up and brought it home and it sat in my office for a year and a half than I dumped it out and started organizing each piece of paper and every little scribble ..   Jumped in with both feet and ordered the kit from Ancestry DNA...made an account and I'm off and running .

                                             BUM.... BUM ......BUM .........M....

 This is not the whole who's your daddy thing . I mean, I know who my sperm donor was and that is all he will ever be to me . What time we did spend around each other I discovered him to be a fake and his family just excepted it . I could never live in a world like that pretending to be something bigger then who you are and I know the man that has his last name on my birth certificate is not the giver of life that runs threw my veins no matter how much I wish that to be . But I am a firm believer that one creates their own connections and family as ones life grows and changes . Blood relation is not always a good thing. ( personal experiences aside but , I am sure many of you reading can relate ) I am excited and looking forward to the fact of knowing with out a shadow of a doubt who I am and what I am made up of . I really don't care about the psychos and sycophants that I was forced to be around in my youth or at anytime in my life for that matter in my mothers immediate family   (and if someone takes offense to this than you must of done something in your past ) lol Believe me they know who they are .....  I started a blog years ago "Letters to Damian" for my grandson for one day he will know where he comes from and know we have always cared for him especially during these times we don't get to see him.

 Okay well there was a brief babbling about my beginning of this part of my family voyage .

      Good Peace to you and yours .

This is how I feel about taking a knee

It has been brought to my attention by a loving Sister that I have made statements to both sides of the " kneeling debate" .Please allow me to clarify how I feel about this . Our country being what it is , allows us to disagree and allows us to show how we feel within the law. This Nation gives us these freedoms for expression . I could careless about Football and can certainly careless about Trump . What I do care about is my voice and , I believe in the Constitution and the Bill or Right and I believe these very things are in danger . I believe that our history is slowly being taken away from us with the allowances of the destruction of our historical statues and landmarks and the land of which they are built upon , because to some are offending . Why is it since Trump has been in office all of a sudden this figures of OUR HISTORY have become offensive ? I believe that this childlike behavior and it offends me as an American .I believe that many of us that have been long out of school need to go back and review our Constitution and take a refresher course in American History . I was unaware of many details were are being left out of many of these shares and posts created and left by others and after doing some homework concerning the bigger picture over this kneeling ordeal. Which is that these stadiums that these players play in are under contact with the government for their general up keep and repair and in the government taking over these stadiums a contractual stipulation for owners and players was created and agreed upon that to improve this Nations morale to bring us closer together as a Nation .

A 62-63 of the league rule book .

The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.

During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

Now I am all for peaceful protest and I understand what the players are doing , but in signing their multi million dollar contacts to play by kneeling they are in breach of that contract and should be held accountable . We as a Nation are allowed the freedoms of expressions under law but in doing so at time consequences do adhere there in . First infraction is to be fined . Second infraction is to be suspended . Third and final infraction permanent removal from team . In many peaceful protests some are arrested and fined . But here for some reason this is not the case . One can not have it both ways ! The NFL has not fined any player or owner .So contracts should be pulled . With our Nation in such a state of unrest this behavior is only leading to more unrest . Trump is dividing us as a country he is allowing distraction to our history and no good will come of it .

I believe Our Nation as a whole is in trouble and it is only going to get worse .Mother Nature is in upheaval . We have more homelessness and poverty . We have more sick and more in need . And all anyone can talk about is taking a knee . Don't you see it all of this is just a smoke screen for what is really going on ? Trump will soon have us at War with North Korea and he could careless he will just take his privileged family and jump on a plane and keep them safe while the rest of us struggle to survive . Kim Jong-un is threatening to test a Hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean that will effect not just us but all humans .The Oceans are a large source of food supply for us humans . That poison will spread just like the poison that spreads across our country now . HATE!!!! I believe that Trump is not looking out for the greater good as a Nation or anyone for that matter .

That is how I feel . Good Peace to you and yours . Thank you for reading .
