Games That Daddies Play

-

I listened to the song, Games That Daddies Play, by Conway Twitty for years. I then got involved with a woman with a child that didn't have a father. I brought him into the family, so he could get an idea of how the family operates. The boy needed a positive male influence in his life to show him how to be a good man. I did the best I could to make sure that he grew up to be a good and decent man. He and I are still close. He is a good and decent family man. They have the same kind of family we had when I was young. He was loved and accepted into our family as if he were blood. I have been around him since he was 9 years old. I saw wrong and did the best I could to make it right. I made mistakes with him, and we had some rough spots, but I never gave up on him, and he never gave up on me. I have screwed up everything in my life. Except my marriage, and the kids. My kids are good decent adults and are not someone society can do without. They are my legacy. I am proud of all my children. I never had any blood children, I just tried to help those who didn't have a father figure. I did what I could based on what my father taught me. I didn't marry any of their mothers, but we all get along. If the dad would have come to the door wanting to have a relationship, I would have let them. But not one did. I don't usually let this information out, but it needs to be said; that not all men play those games that daddies play. This song opened my eyes to see that what was in front of me. My father did the same with a very good friend of mine. We have been friends for 45 years. he gave me a bicycle last month. He told me, to have the bike, because my father bought him a bike, when he didn't a bike or a father, and he never forgot. Like I said, I did the best I knew how, for good and bad.

My Father

 I had been prepping all my life for the death of my parents. When one day the hospital called and said come see your father if you want to see him alive again. So I did. I got to see him. I told him that I was ok now, and would be ok later. We had made peace about 10 years before that. We were in a good spot, Which was funny, we were never really in a bad place, we just didn't see eye to eye. I got a call a week later from my mother that he had passed. So I drove 4 hours through the early morning hours, crying and mourning my father. All that prepping that I had thought I did, turned out to be a lie. Because I wasn't prepared at all. My father and I were tight. We were both truck drivers, worked outside at manual labor. We both had an appreciation for classic cars. My father was a a hot rodder and a gearhead from the 1950's. We went to car shows together. The last one we went to was the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale AZ in 2007. We had the best time, as we always ha...

Rich Men North of Richmond

  You can't help anyone move forward if they can't get out of their own way. Those Appalachian states get more money from the government than they pay in taxes. Why not use that money to retrain people to do a job with more of a 20-year life expectancy. Maybe then there won't be so many "people dying i the street." He needs to look at himself, and the poor, and put some of the blame on them, before he goes blaming others. Look in the mirror, then out the window.  Too bad for the firefighters. They get what they get. They made their bed, time to sleep. That is what happens when you get involved in politics. Firefighting is a noble profession and business, politics is not.                   The firefighters and Disney 8/2023

Thayer Immigration Initiative

-
I proposed this about a decade ago. No one wanted to listen. This is my solution for the immigration problem. Thayer Immigration Initiative 1.   Declare six month immigration, amnesty, grace period or whatever you want to call it. 2.   Notify all illegal aliens that they must register within the time period in order to gain citizenship. 3.   Divide the country into sections along the lines of the United States District Courts. For the purpose of all legal proceedings concerning immigration. 4.   Aliens must prove that they have held a job are crime free, and have at least an 5 th grade understanding of the reading, writing, and speaking of English. 5.   Once they are registered, then confiscate their next three years Federal income tax as a fine for entering illegally. After three years test them, issue them a Social Security card, and citizenship.    6.   All persons who have served in the armed forces, and have b...
