Thank you, Eric! You’re so kind π Thank you for reminding me of that. I know I’m worth more than what they are showing. The sad thing is they know I am too. If it was a significant other or partner I’d be long gone. However, when it’s someone who is a friend or family… Makes it harder. Maybe it shouldn’t matter who it is… Ugh!! Eric! What’s a girl to do? π β€οΈ
Hey there, beautiful lady! I’m doing ok. Getting a bit of bad weather here but nothing too severe. great to see you, as always! π I sent you an email just now.
Talk to you soon! β€
Enough is enough. We all have our limits, don’t we? I completely agree and commend your no nonsense attitude. Why take any shit from anyone? Well said, Carisa darling! xoxo

Hehe!! Sometimes I say those words over and over in my head. “Donzo, Nada, Zip, Zilch!” Until I get the nerve to say them out loud. ;). Hehe Thank you for saying your wonderful words. I always appreciate them π β€οΈ
I posted a lot of my own posts. I think you will like the haiku (2 today), acrostic and check out the song section and go as far as 8 deep. They are good. One is real dirty but a great song so I went with it
The comment which I posted on your post named.. – ” Baby, I’m on Fire”. Just check out my comment if you wish to… By the way… Merry Christmas…!!! β£β <3 π
Hehe!! No more tears flowing! I’m all dried up. 2016 is going to be full of smiles and laughs! No more tears… Unless they are from laughing so hard!! πβ€οΈπ.
Merry Christmas!
Hehe!!! Merry Christmas! I’m so glad you’re here when I looked. I was going to come and wish you a Merry Christmas too! β€οΈβ€οΈ. Hope you were a good boy! π haha!
Seriously, you know you’re a blessing to me. I love you!! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

Back when there was time, when one parent
Was always there to guide a child, schools were
Not blamed for bad behavior, partly because there
Was so much less of it. One job per house meant
Security, health insurance, a nest egg, and plenty for
Suzie to go to college on. Forget the bridge club now
Dearie, everybody works. Corporate has found a way
To thrive in the post-liberation era: reduce middle class
Pay to the point of nudging, nay forcing the Moms to work.
It’s not about reduced free time, it’s about no time left to
Even get to know our own children. Since profit is king,
The new world order is thus: No assistance if the Dad lives
With his child, No benefits to any temporary workers, No
Labor jobs that pay a living wage north of the Maquiladoras,
No wins for unions since 1980, No affordable day care
For working Moms, No federal money for states with less
Than seventy five percent of the welfare recipients working,
No job training money left after building bombs, No incentives
For employers to pay better, No company loyalty, No profit
Sharing plans, No safe pensions, No guaranteed retirement,
No Social Security, No public transportation in many
Towns, No decent schools for low-income neighborhoods,
No safeguards for the food we eat, No plan in place to
Save the environment, No cash to save the mental hospitals,
No handouts to the homeless veterans, and No jobs at all
For those who work with their hands. None, zero, zilch, zip!
I wrote this one in 2002. Nice coincidence, I figure, with your title and my last line.
Doug… I’m not worthy of the way you comment my pieces. I’m always excited to see you in my notifications! You’re always so kind and supportive of all my work! Thank you so much! β€οΈ
