    Self Care & Alcoholism

    Self Care & Alcoholism

    I discuss, living and dealing with alcoholics. That always having to care for an addict gets exhausting. Even when you love them very much, it's still tiresome. I discuss how, taking care of yourself is important. You can't take care of others if you don't care for yourself. This is not something wise or new. Everybody knows this. But it's true! We need to actually do it. I discuss trying to put myself first.  Yet, I end up feeling so guilty. I discussed moving to a red state to get out of the crazy left-wing state of Oregon. I discuss the political ramifications of living in a liberal state.

    24 Hours Of Guilt

    24 Hours Of Guilt

    What's keeping me up? Missing my mom, massive guilt, regret and PTSD. Throw in some anxiety with stress sprinkled in...and you have yourself a mental case! Yes folks, I'm a mess. But I'm a well meaning disaster that's trying her best. 
    what else has been keeping me up? The Biden administration and our government must be taken down! They need to be held accountable. They should be executed for their crimes. Evil, pure evil. America's citizens should storm the capital and pull each and every one of those bastards out of their seats and hang them! 

    You Have Potential…

    You Have Potential…

    What has been preventing me from counting sheep? The word POTENTIAL. Drives me crazy. Dont't care for the word, "potential." When people say, "they have so much potential.." I discuss why this sentence bothers me . I also talk about participating. What constitutes, "participating?" What do you need to do to get a participation award? How much do you have to participate? I go on about my thoughts on the word, "participation." 

    Bitter Betty

    Bitter Betty

    I highly suggest not listening to this episode, if you get offended easily. I discuss obesity and my stance on it  You probably won't like it. Let's just say, the truth hurts. To quote Jack Nicholson, “ you cant' handle the truth!" What's been keeping me up? Obesity and women in the workplace. I detest working with bunch of women!  I don't like working with more than two women. I also discuss obesity, and how I'm tired of the excuses. If you are overweight, it is your fault. Deal with it!

    That’s Someone’s Family Member…

    That’s Someone’s Family Member…

    Addiction is no joke. Homelessness is no joke. That's someone's child, parent, spouse, friend, etc.  To call an addict and/or homeless person a, "loser," is wrong, in my opinion. Addicts come from all backgrounds, are all shapes and colors. Addiction has no preference. No type. I don't think people WANT to be addicts. Wasn't a choice. They aren't losers. They are human beings that have a disease and need help. My heart breaks for those with no support. People that look down on those that are homeless or addicts, bother me. 
    I also discuss parenting. How sick I am of people blaming parents for their grown, adult sons/daughters that get in to trouble. Nature versus nature. Or is it both? You can do all the "right" things as a parent, yet still have a kid that gets in to trouble. And be worst parent but have a son that turns out great. 
    What's keeping me up? The self righteous, sitting on their high horses. Peering down at you, judging your parenting skills. The homeless, addicts and our veterans. Phew...that was long winded! 

    Pets & Politicians

    Pets & Politicians

    I discuss the heartache of losing a pet. The difficulty in having a member of your family pass. The grief that follows. I talk about people trying to tell you how long and how to grieve. I also discuss politics. I talk about dear ole Joey. Joey, Joey, Joey.... what else is keeping me up? Anxiety over Michelle Obama becoming our next president and the state of our country. The state of our world. 

    Let’s Use Our Words

    Let’s Use Our Words

    Let's use our words. Is it possible for people to form coherent sentences any more? Biden and his administration babble. They speak jibberish. And the far left scream. They literally scream at top of their lungs. Yet none seem to be capable of talking. Of having a respectful, calm, educated, coherent conversation? When citizens aren't yelling, they're setting things on fire, stealing and breaking windows. How does this help your cause? How does this change the world? What's been keeping me up? Hypocrisy, poor communication and ignorance. 

    Tired Of Your Freaking Parades

    Tired Of Your Freaking Parades

    What's preventing me from counting sheep? Pride parades! Pride parades, gender parades, African American and Latino parades. Everywhere I look, some group of people are causing back ups on our streets so they can draw attention to themselves. So they can claim they, "just want to be LEFT ALONE, darn it!" All while making a mockery of themselves. While doing anything BUT staying out of spotlight. Hypocrisy at its finest. Sick of the parades and months of the year dedicated to groups of people. It promotes segregation, prejudice and racism. Narcissistic behavior is running rampant.
