But I Remember!
Republicans have tried to blame President Obama for all their mess. But I remember! If you've ever had any debt you know it takes you longer to get out of debt than it did to get you in. If you decide that you are going to take your lunch to work instead of buying it then you have to buy your supplies usually up front. So you had to spend some to save a lot. Funny how the government does that, and the Republicans want to the current government for ALL of the debt. The debt that came under their watch, when they had a hold of the checkbook. But I remember! Am going to vote to give them the checkbook back? Oh Hellz NO! And their buddies who got rich off us, from our taxes, such as Halliburton. Well, do I even have to remind you of the mess they've had their hands in? I'll mention just a few: in recent news the deal with the concrete & THE oil spill (death and destruction of workers & wildlife, loss of jobs in the coastal areas), have you forgotten about the soldiers being electrocuted in the Halliburton showers in the Middles East? Have you forgotten? But I remember.

Here not there, there not here
This post started out as a comment on Logtar 's blog post Colombia or Chicago home? I decided to flesh it out more & post it here since I haven't really sat down & written something personal in a while. Life has been busy. And that's fine with me. I'm not going to take on any guilt for having a life.
Logtar, I know how you feel, I think. Canada will always be home, the home of my youth. I left in June 1975 after graduating from high school. Kansas City is the home of my adulthood. I've gone to school, worked, bought a house, made friends, good friends, lifelong friends. But I feel torn. Not complete, ever. I'm always missing something, someone. It can be something as small as a Coffee Crisp chocolate bar , or a standing on the end of the dock watching the Northern Lights with a loon crying in a distance, or as big as missing Christmas with my whole family. I've been like this since I was 5 years old & my parents divorced. I've spent part of the year in Canada & part in the USA, for thirteen years. Always missing a parent. I spent my young adulthood looking for love, to try to fill that empty spot in my heart/soul. I'm a very emotional person. I've been hurt many times. I may not be complete, but I'm more. I've had more experiences, more cultures, more languages. I persevered and still found my soulmate, my husband of 25 years. His parents are also divorced. He spent years living and moving all across the USA , even many years in Australia. I think one of the things that has bound us together is that he has had a somewhat similar life experience. The same for Logtar & Bea. Far from home they found each other. And there they found home.
