What I really want to say to a certain someone, the sequel

A certain someone announced his engagement to his ex-wife today. Besides the obvious issue of THE EX-WIFE, here are some other issues about this announcement:

 1. The announcement was on Facebook... 
2. Without talking to his daughters first.
3. The relationship status was changed EIGHT days ago, but made public today (see #2, above, and #5, below).
4. His one remaining parent, who doesn't particularly care for the ex-wife, is currently fighting for her life after a major stroke.
5. This certain someone is well aware that his one remaining parent AND all of the family who is currently worried, upset, and sad about the parent's health, doesn't particularly like the ex-wife.
6. This certain someone is making the announcement about the engagement to Facebook, but has yet to say anything at all about his one remaining parent and her health situation.

 Awesome. 

 In the comment chain about the engagement, there is this comment from CS: I do love her with all my heart an it will work plz be happy for me an [the ex-wife] thank you.

 More awesomeness.

 CS, let's review recent events:

 1. Last month, you wanted her out of your life because you "couldn't stand her bitchiness" anymore, and you swore to me you would never let her live in your house ever again. 
2. Also, you very sarcastically referred to her as "mother of the year" after she left her kid for a weekend without any way for him to reach her. Now, you want her to be a stepmother to your daughters.
3. You know your daughters don't like this woman, and you know why. You announced your engagement on FB without talking to them first. How exactly do you expect your kids to feel about this? You know very well that this is not the way you should have broken this news to your daughters. What does this tell you about your current parenting choices?
4. You know your one remaining parent doesn't like this woman, and you know she doesn't want you to remarry her. You announce your engagement on FB while she is fighting for her life. How disrespectful is this to your parent? How do you expect your family to feel about this?
5. You left your daughter home alone on New Year's Eve, knowing she would have to deal with police at the door about an issue regarding this woman's son, so you could party with this woman. Clearly a poor parenting choice on both of your parts.
6. As far as I can tell, you have been nearly constantly drunk since you got back together with this woman.
7. You were so drunk tonight that you scared one of your daughters so bad she ran away. And yelled at the other one when all she wanted to do was ask you to talk.

 This is just recent stuff. There is so much more we could talk about.

 Ummm...nope. Can't be happy about this.

 And if you think a situation like this can be described in any way as "working," you need a serious reality check.

 Sorry.

Dear Hillary

Dear Hillary,  I can't explain the appeal of Donald Trump or how so many Americans drank his particular brand of Kool-Aid. I wish I could, because right now, I am very saddened by this turn of events. I can, however, tell you some reasons why you didn't appeal to many. I hope that the party in general, and you in particular, listen and learn from this. First and foremost, you dismissed Bernie and his supporters. Hundreds of thousands of people were inspired and excited by this guy, but it seems like nobody in the party even tried to figure out why. It was like you won the candidacy, and those of us who felt the Bern were just patted on the head, told to go to our parents' basements and play video games until November 8, at which time we should emerge and vote for you and never question it. That was an unrealistic thing for you to expect from those of us who supported him, and here are just a few reasons why: 1. Bernie himself inspired us. To us, he isn't a democ...

Post Election Thoughts: Sore Winners, part 1

Image
In the weeks since the election, I have seen a lot of back and forth discussion between people who used to like each other and respect each other. People I like and respect. I have honestly tried to maintain my friendships with people I know who voted for the Donald, and I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt when they have insisted that they voted for him for other reasons other than his openly and blatantly racist, bigoted, misogynistic, Islamophobic, and not exactly LGBTQ friendly beliefs. I mean, my support of Hillary was lackluster at best, so I can sympathize with people who didn't want to vote for her.  The thing that is hard to swallow about that, though, is that if you didn't want to actually cast a vote for her, there were less vile options. Gary Johnson, Jill Stein. Evan McMullin was actually a pretty decent alternative. I kind of liked him, actually. You didn't HAVE to vote for Trump if you didn't want to vote for Hillary. You really didn...

Thanks, in General

This weekend, most of us in the United States celebrated the holiday of Thanksgiving.  It is the time of year when we, specifically, are supposed to reflect on our blessings and take time to be thankful.  And eat a lot of turkey and pumpkin pie.  And do our part to stimulate the economy.  But mostly, we're supposed to take time to be thankful for our blessings. My family and I had dinner with some of my parents' friends.  My responsibility was green bean casserole, which people seemed to enjoy.  There was a full house, as always, and everyone seemed to have a nice time.   Throughout the day, I did think several times of my friend Dave, who has just lost his brother.  Mike's funeral actually took place on Monday, just a few days before Thanksgiving.  It is so sad that they had to say goodbye to Mike, who was so young.  S o many of my friends have suffered losses this year.  This did make me appreciate so much more that I am enjoy...
