There is nothing new about My being lost! I'm lost much more often than I am" found." Come to think about it I have not been "found" in years!!
For you folks who insist on rating my abilities as a writer. I will tell you up front and personal. I'm a Redneck. I come from a long line of rednecks. I sit quietly by the "crick" and listen to the mosquito buzz. My favorite music is country, and the laughter of my man and my children, and my children's children!
The literal description of a redneck is a person who works with their hands. That is a person who earns an honest living and does not hurt any one along the way.(Or tries not to!) That is a person who does not work it around so someone else earns their living for them. That is a person I am proud to know.
I am proud to tell you I come from a long line of REDNECKS!
If you are not up to seeing the word "Ain't" in print..you won't like it here...If you don't like a person who is shameless about feeling bad when bad things happen to good people...this is also not the place for you!
If you think the Pacific North West is heaven ...well so do I.....just don't let someone convince you to come here unless you are independently wealthy or you can live on small wages....cause that is what we have! Small wages! We also have the same high costs as every where else!
Today they opened a shelter for women here. Boy! That is a relief. In Spokane it is nearly against the law to be homeless.
With the things that are going on out in the world. With people losing their homes and the cold weather we had this year, I was worried. Nope! I was beside myself with fear for loads of people. If it wasn't the seventh worst place in the nation for Meth and meth problems I swear I would do more than I do now. I just don't know HOW I can help! That drug is the worst in my memory!
I'm perpetually 39. I think my eldest daughter will be the same age as me this year! I grew up in the sixties. WOW....I am a very old 39! Drugs are not a new subject to me. What can we do to help these folks? Do you have any suggestions? Is there any help for them?
In my world, and it is a broad world. I don't know of any family that is NOT touched by this nasty nasty drug. People in their sixties are busted every day for dealing . They are just trying to get by. They are dealing to pay for their OWN drugs!
Think about that! some of you have parents in that age group.
Has it occurred to you they might be on Meth? Get Mom and Pop off the streets! Hand them a Bingo card, or maybe a drink!
You know the symptoms. Bad teeth, weight loss, hallucinations! unsafe sex practices...
Hand me that bingo dauber!!!
