We must unite

Before you get your panties in a wad, I do not mean for this post to sound as though I dislike America. It is a beautiful place with wonderful people.

I am trying to figure out how to get away from the amount of control the government has on my life. Sad part is...There isn't one....hear me out.

I have to have money to do all of the things I need to live because somehow we got tricked into believing these papers and coins are powerful.

And even if I bought land and did the homestead thing, I still have to pay taxes, but why?

And to whom?

And what do they do with the money I am paying them?

It seems to me, like I'm making a bunch of crazy people rich while I'm left here wondering where I went wrong in life. (I'll tell you, nowhere . I'm pretty great okay, some not nice things in my past, but this isn't about that and I was young.)

It seems to me like they just keep saying things like, no you don't need wells anymore drink city water, and a lot of people do. And then they put fluoride in our water! (I won't even go into the crisis of the Flint, Michigan water, that is still needing repaired, right? Or the recent pipeline problem.)

And instead of trying to use cheaper more efficient fuel they continue to build pipelines through our lands that will poison our natural water sources. Not to mention the other tremendous issues ecologically which will result from not finding new ways.

While we let them do it to us!

But why? If we buy something from somewhere is it not ours? Then who are they to tell us what we can do on the land that we bought from them?! And why do we pay taxes for them to tell us what to do on property we bought from them?!

I had a lot more but I lost where I was going, I'm so infuriated and astonished at what is happening all around me. Not just in America, but the world. (and beyond 👻👽)

I'm telling you all if we don't start to unite they will kill us all. More of us can be born and bred until they figure out how to get robots to be their minions.

.....they keep telling me that I am free.......but they tell me what I can put in my body........they tell me that I am free... but THEY put stuff in MY body I would not and somehow that is okay...they tell me that I am free.....and they force me to pay for something that was not affordable in the first place, but they can give me a number where if I meet poverty level I won't be forced to pay the fine for not buying the insurance I already could not afford....they tell me that I am free and they will give me everything I need while making it impossible to access or find out any information on anything...they tell me I am free.

I can smell!

Been suffering from a stuffy head for a week or so. I've run out of saline for my nostrils and do not have extra funds to spend on any. No big deal...anyway, rubbed some menthol cream on a sore spot and did not go wash my hands afterwards. like I usually do. (Ok, three points here. 1. like I SOMETIMES do. 2. I say sometimes because I forget and then something like this happens. 3. Usually it's the genital region in which I touch.) so, I happened to pick my nose (not so much pick as scratch, but if you were a passerby I was first knuckle deep in that bad boy) and menthol/camphor? (Idk it smelled like mint and Pepto Bismal) infiltrated my nose and suddenly I could breath again! Amazed, I stuck my finger in the other whole...almost as far as it would go it seems like. Which is lovely! I'm happy to breath through my nose again. But sad too because the first nostril only slightly burns now. But the other burns as far as I stuck that finger. It's a little numb...but at least my arm feels pretty good. 😀

I don’t understand how you yell at a teenage cashier at a Dollar General, cuss him out over prices he doesn’t control, then go home and feel good about yourself and go to church on Sunday. Our generation is nowhere near acting entitled compared to older ones.

Locked out

Me: mom I need you to ride to the store with me.

Mom: okay you can get me some cigarettes.

Me: I'm going to pull the car up I'll be right back in.

I pull in the drive way and see her coming out the door ready to go.

Me: don't close the door!

Mom: huh

Me: don't close the door!(screaming with the windows up because for some reason my brain did not allow me to think of rolling down the windows)

Mom: (looking puzzled) what?

Me: honking horn (lmao, I know right) finally rolled window down do not close the door!!!!

Mom: (closes door) why? I have everything I need?!

Me: Well, I had to go back in for my purse, my phone, and the HOUSE key!!

What a wonderful thing it was gramps was up the road bowling.

#I wish I was rich

No one knows who done it

Me: what happened to the coffee maker?

Mom: nothing. It's working fine.

Me: why is there coffee grounds around where the water is poured in?

Mom: must have been something Gran did.

Later on, while Mom was napping...

Me: gran, what happened to the coffee maker?

Gran: nothing seems to be working fine to me.

Me: well someone put coffee where the water goes.

Gran: hmm. Must have been your mother.

The twins strike again!

Grandfather twin needs to stop driving

Gramps has macro degeneration. I am not sure how bad it actually is. I do know he should not be allowed to drive anymore. He and my mom recently went to McDonald's for breakfast on a morning I was going to be late. Gran clipped a vehicle whilst turning into the plaza where McDonald's is located.

The lady he hit pulled over and got out of her vehicle thinking that Gran was going to do the same.

Gran drives right past her insisting she was going way too fast. They drive around the plaza trying to dodge the lady. Went to McDonald's as they had intended, and went out an opposite entrance.

Things like this have happened multiple other times. I need to try to get an aide for him and my mother! And he needs his licenses revoked!

#I wish I was rich

Introduction

I probably should have done this awhile ago.

I am a woman living with her husband and husbands 86 year old grandfather with polio. We moved in with him in February 2016 because he needs someone in the house as he gets older and is unable to live alone.

Recently, I brought my disabled mother down here to NC from MI because her situation was terrible. She is currently staying with her (my gramps) 90 year old father five minutes up the road from where I live.

My husband has a shit job that he hates most days but loves because otherwise we would have no income.

Currently, I am not working at a job but am a certified CNA. My time is taken each day running back and forth from home to the twins (that's the name I gave my mom and grandpa because they remind me of twins in the toddler age) to do what I can for everyone. It is sometimes hard but sometimes rewarding. And usually makes me want a drink at the end of the day!
