Talk Shows

Was watching Tv today like i normally do as i race around the house cleaning all the disaster that is here... and a new show came on ... The Bonnie Hunt show... i was like heck i should check this out see what its all about.... talk show hosts are a dime a dozen.. but i always like Bonnie hunt when she had her sitcom... so why not... usually they love to make a fool of their guests or get to the bottom of some huge thing that is going on in the world... And the good ones actually show you a little of themselves....and i have come to the conclusion that bonnie hunt is just like everyone else.. she has her mom on the show often... and she calls looking for people who used to be in her life... she is one of those people that i really believe that she is genuine.. that she cares... she did a sketch with kids... and she was so concerned for one of little boys that she followed up during her next show to help build him up and give him some confidence... I felt better for wasting an hour of my life watching the boob tube..

My 35th Birthday

Jaum Getting His Very First Pedicure...
Them Singing to me! Yeahhhh for Haupia Cake!

What a wonderful day. My Neighbor Took on the task of taking my kids for the whole day. While Jaum and i just went and did whatever we felt like. We went and paid the nice man for my bird and took her to visit her brothers. Then we went for a beautiful drive around this island with out the kids yelling and complaining how boring we are and its hot in the car.... we went to a mall and looked at the places that WE wanted too.... Then I got Jaum to get a Pedicure with me.. it was nice and i love that He got a little pampering too.. Since He spends his whole life spoiling Me. And i am truly spoiled... I never want.... Then we did a little Christmas shopping and He bought me a new sewing machine since mine has decided to rebel against everything... right in the middle of my Christmas sewing!!! Then we went to dinner at a Fancy steak house... where we were waited on hand and foot... and weren't worried about the chicken nuggets burning someones mouth.. it was weird...But a welcomed change... then we hurried home to rescue the neighbor from our children... who had a great day at the pool and playing with friends... and didn't fight all day long UNTIL i walked in the house! imagine that! smiles.then Jaum disappeared and went and got me my favorite Haupia Cake (coconut).. I count my blessings, i have a husband who loves me, kids that are great...good kids..even if they fight each other, GREAT friends who are there when i need them and always offer me a chance to help them out! Even those who are far far away from me. I just hope that I make them feel as loved and lucky as I do!!! I am a Very Very Lucky lady!

Department of Vetrans Affairs... HAHAHAHA

Slight rant if anyone things the Department of Vetrans Affiars is the greatest you might not want to read any further!
Ok so where to start... i see thsi from 2 sides adn neither are pleasant.. fromt eh side of a military member CURRENTLY servicign the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.. And a retired Member who now after laying his life on teh line needs assistance from teh country whom he WILLINGLY vowed to defend...
The servies seems to want all that you ahve and are for nothign in return. They pay our men mere pennies on teh dollar to leave home and family to go to foriegn lands to be shot at, blown up, spit upon and called pigs, or to spend montsh under water with out seeing the sun or smelling fresh air.. The same jobs done by civilans are for twice the amount, with regular work breaks, adn great vacationadn retirement packages plus most are union... oh sorry our service men loose their vacation time If they happen to not be allowed by their commands to take those much needed vacations! and once they are finished with their time in teh military they are discarded like trash no longer needed or wanted.. when later in life the effects of what they have been through shoes up they need the help of that SAME government that asked them to GIVE THEIR ALL, welll then the tune changes... they have to fill out paper work after papare work and wait months on end to jsut find out they didnt fill it out right or that it isnt enough for the VA office. Some of our Vietnam vets are require to have incedent report numbers names and contact information from teh peopel that were around them when they were getting blown up and shot at... hell these men were worried about not loosing their lives not about getting the name and ranks fo the men who were dying aroudn them ... now they are treated liek liars and theives jstu trying to get enough money to live, since their lives have now been forever changed by war. My father who was directrly under several hundred agent orange drops has suffered from Horrible high blood pressure depressionand now a ceribrial brain hemorage cause by that high blood pressure which teh Va says he doesn thave... he was a once vibrant man who always provide for his family even though he suffered inside fromteh horrors that he had to face.. now he is a mere shell of himself, his emotions effected by the stroke, his eye sight lsot on one eye... he is unable to walk with out assitance of another person or crutches.. both his kness need to eb replaced.. he can no longer ever provide for his wife and himself adn what does the va tell him... you arent disabled adn there is not enough documentation that thsi is caused by thsi so called high blood pressure adn that there isnt enough proof that his knee (which was broken in boot camp we hav epicutres to prove it) was c uased there. not to mention the Post tramatic stress disorder that RE-surfaced after teh brain hemorage... i mean what kind of gervernment does this to the men who fight to keep it free .... what ever happen to taking care of ones own? Dotn get me wrong I LOVE THSI COUNTRY and woudl never wanna live anywehre else but i really think that it is time that the whole country knew the plight of our vetrans adn our current fighting men! Then maybe they wouldnt be treated liek dirty socks... It makes me sad to knwo that these brave men are living on the streets adn strugglign to make the Choice power of food this month. What else can be done where do i turn to get help for my father and those many others who are fighting this never ending battle with teh VA?
