The End of FACEBOOK!
First there are community chat rooms that have better interfaces than Facebook! I for one like PATH! But this is not the reason for the downfall of Facebook! The downfall of Facebook is very simple, its a fad!
Everyone knows this! One time I would have all my family and we would communicate strictly through Facebook! That has been replaced by the old fashion way of talking or txt'g via a cell phone!
Facebook's first mistake was buying a rarely known company for 1 Billion dollars! Instagram is kewl but the features already exist in other apps! The second mistake is thinking it has something to sell! It's not like Google or Apple, it sells nothing except these silly add's one may click! Anyone who pays for that is silly!
The downfall of Facebook with be the result of Facebook thinking it is what it's not! It's not too big to fail and fall like domino's! It's been nice knowing you, but like many companies that thought they were something I say, you will not be missed!

What will you do this November?
I loved Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and enjoy Barack Obama as our president!
I remember a line from Ronald "Are you better than 4 years ago" as he took on Carter. It wasn't Carters fault! He was taken on by big gun's the lobbyist!
This is a very short blog, 4 years ago President Obama arrived to a possible depression, somehow with patience and wit he took us to where we are today! It's not perfect yet but Republicans got us into this mess, do we forget so fast and put another one back!
Just ask yourself how were we 4 years ago! What was our country facing as a republican left office? And it's easy what do do coming November for the presidency and, congress and senate!!

Embrace change, the only "constant"!
It is often said that if you're not moving forward, you're moving backwards! The only way anyone can move forward in to embrace change! If you can be assured of anything on earth is that change is the only constant!
Wether you want it or not people, places and things are constantly changing! Those who embrace change and sometimes at a high price tend to be happy and live very good life's! Those that don;t end up falling further and further from mainstream America!
Look around, if you have children they change before you're eyes, if you have a garden it changes before you're eyes if you have friend's they change before you're eyes for good or bad!
We are about to change! We don't know where but we know when! You see Rob would be happy (Luis) with me if we lived in a cardboard box as long as he is with me, but I need family and friends and so it's time to change!
I have always embraced change and am happy that I foresee change in the very foreseeable future!

Mothers Day WITHOUT a Mother!
Born Catholic and raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, Mothers Day was everyday! However in recent years before my mom died Mother's Day took a different meaning! It was a time like other holiday's we made a special effort to all get together at Mom's house and eat bring some flowers and just enjoy her company!
For the first time in my life I don;t have a mother on Mother's Day!But the saddest thing is I don;t have a mother any day! Being baptized as a Catholic at birth there was something given to me called a Godmother! I never thought much about it until my mom died! I have known her she is about 10 years older than me and I call it wisdom on my mothers part for she has been my joy in recent weeks!
Her name is Lidia DeJesus, she lives in MA and she has been there to give me some wisdom and listen to me, but more important she has become my substituted Mother! She called me to thank me for the flowers I know send her instead of my mother and to tell me this would be a hard weekend but to be strong for my mother is resting in better place!
I appreciate the kind loving words! She recently told me and I deal with issues with my siblings "that as you age it becomes easier just to turn the other side of you're face"! Abilio sometimes you just have to let it go even if you're right! This is the wisdom I miss from my mother but am happy the creator provided me with someone who would take over when my mother died!
I dedicate this to my Godmother! She may never read it but I deeply appreciate her on this, the first Mother's Day without my mother!
Happy Mother's day to everyone and please appreciate you're mother! A treasure that once gone is never seen again!
To My mother and Godmother!

Help wanted, nobody available! Lazy fucking Americans!
Everywhere I go I see help wanted signs around Tampa Bay so I ask myself why is unemployment so high iin the USA and Florida! It's a very simple answer! Americans have become accustomed to getting money and not working!
The unemployment system was to support people during a recession, but what has happened is worse than a recession, people don't want to work!
I have family members working two full time jobs! Dam they not only found one hob but two! I have some friends that it cost more to go to work than they made but within mnths they were making 18 hr. I moved here and before I was disabled I got a job at 100k.
So it sup[rises me when I hear the horror stories of no work! I also have moved cross country twice for work and down the east coast for the same. So the bottom line based on my view is there is work but America's love doing nothing. Some prefer to steal to get by or street begging and then beach time. After all this is Florida and who the fuck wants to work, right!
I tell you what, cut benefits and stop handing people free stuff and you will see how fast they get a job! Help the sick, disabled but make it so healthy strong people work. IT may not be at the pay scale they are accustomed to but that comes with time and proving yourself! This may stop the drug problem we are facing with our young people. Get some pride, get a job!
Back in the middle 60's we had a bad recession and I remember going from 60k to 25k and I thought my life would end! Within 6 months I was making 80k. I loved to work and the pay showed!
So lazy Americans get off you're coach stop getting obese and work hard and keep America moving forward!

How do we grief and deal with depression?
Meaning: Intense sorrow caused by loss of a loved one (especially by death)
Losing someone or something you love is very painful. After a significant loss, you may experience all kinds of difficult and surprising emotions, such as shock, anger, and guilt. Sometimes it may feel like the sadness will never let up. While these feelings can be frightening and overwhelming, they are normal reactions to loss. Accepting them as part of the grieving process and allowing yourself to feel what you feel is necessary for healing.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve — but there are healthy ways to cope with the pain. You can get through it! Grief that is expressed and experienced has a potential for healing that eventually can
What is grief?
Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. You may associate grief with the death of a loved one – and this type of loss does often cause the most intense grief. But any loss can cause grief, including:
|
|
The more significant the loss, the more intense the grief. However, even subtle losses can lead to grief. For example, you might experience grief after moving away from home, graduating from college, changing jobs, selling your family home, or retiring from a career you loved.
Everyone grieves differently
Grieving is a personal and highly individual experience. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith, and the nature of the loss. The grieving process takes time. Healing happens gradually; it can’t be forced or hurried – and there is no “normal” timetable for grieving. Some people start to feel better in weeks or months. For others, the grieving process is measured in years. Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow the process to naturally unfold.
Coping with grief and loss tip 1: Get support
The single most important factor in healing from loss is having the support of other people. Even if you aren’t comfortable talking about your feelings under normal circumstances, it’s important to express them when you’re grieving. Sharing your loss makes the burden of grief easier to carry. Wherever the support comes from, accept it and do not grieve alone. Connecting to others will help you heal.
Finding support after a loss
- Turn to friends and family members – Now is the time to lean on the people who care about you, even if you take pride in being strong and self-sufficient. Draw loved ones close, rather than avoiding them, and accept the assistance that’s offered. Oftentimes, people want to help but don’t know how, so tell them what you need – whether it’s a shoulder to cry on or help with funeral arrangements.
- Draw comfort from your faith – If you follow a religious tradition, embrace the comfort its mourning rituals can provide. Spiritual activities that are meaningful to you – such as praying, meditating, or going to church – can offer solace. If you’re questioning your faith in the wake of the loss, talk to a clergy member or others in your religious community.
- Join a support group – Grief can feel very lonely, even when you have loved ones around. Sharing your sorrow with others who have experienced similar losses can help. To find a bereavement support group in your area, contact local hospitals, hospices, funeral homes, and counseling centers.
- Talk to a therapist or grief counselor – If your grief feels like too much to bear, call a mental health professional with experience in grief counseling. An experienced therapist can help you work through intense emotions and overcome obstacles to your grieving.
Coping with grief and loss tip 2: Take care of yourself
When you’re grieving, it’s more important than ever to take care of yourself. The stress of a major loss can quickly deplete your energy and emotional reserves. Looking after your physical and emotional needs will help you get through this difficult time.
The difference between grief and depression
Distinguishing between grief and clinical depression isn’t always easy, since they share many symptoms. However, there are ways to tell the difference. Remember, grief can be a roller coaster. It involves a wide variety of emotions and a mix of good and bad days. Even when you’re in the middle of the grieving process, you will have moments of pleasure or happiness. With depression, on the other hand, the feelings of emptiness and despair are constant.
Other symptoms that suggest depression, not just grief:
When to seek professional help for griefIf you recognize any of the above symptoms of complicated grief or clinical depression, talk to a mental health professional right away. Left untreated, complicated grief and depression can lead to significant emotional damage, life-threatening health problems, and even suicide. But treatment can help you get better.
Contact a grief counselor or professional therapist if you:

The stock market at 6000
Lines of unemployed people
Hunger lines
People loosing their homes faster that those buying (we lost ours)
People lacked confidence in the future
President Obama brought back a sense of calm! He was confident things would get better and they have! This is not a long blog! Just to think we would even consider putting a rich unconnected person back in the white house in mind boggling. The man needs 8 years to try and fix things and then we can judge him on his accomplishments!
He will go down as a President Reagan and Clinton! I actually think he will become one of the greatest presidents of the country ever!

The downfall of Macy's, CREDIT CARD whoring!
First don't get me wrong! I love Macy's! I have been shopping at Macy's for over 40 years! Of course most of the stores I shopped at were not called Macy's but they have cornered the market by buying everything that competed against them!
I HAD TWO FILENE'S CREDIT CARDS. I REALLY LOVED FILENE'S, BUT MACY'S MUST OF BEEN AFRAID OF FILENE'S! i NEVER WAS ASKED 12 TIMES AS I WALKED THROUGHPUT FILENE'S IF I WANTED A CREDIT CARD! I JUST LIKED THEM SO I HAD TWO!
I spend my life telling corporations and government that if you focus on quality products and great customer service all of the other needs resolve themselves. If customers love the store and you do a great job with the customer, you don;t have to ask they will open credit cards and do what it takes to be part of the family!
I used to be a BLACK DIAMOND card holder! Spending 6-10k a year at Macy; not because I was asked if I needed another card, but because I loved Macy's. Well recently I am getting upset that the focus seems to be "do you have a card" rather then providing a quality product and exceptional service, or you're treated different. I even had someone recently tell me to hurry up, they had things to do!
Macy's should remember that yes they have been here since the I" I love Lucy show"! But so was Grant's the then largest US chain! They are gone! Then came Aime's and they are gone, Kmart followed and they are hanging by a thread! Walmart is having it's challenges and unless Macy's changes their behavior they too will go the way of the dinosaur!
MACY'S STOP WHORING CREDIT CARDS AND GO BACK TO BASICS. QUALITY SERVICE AND PRICE!
