Keeping Your Sanity in the Era of the Orange Orangutan


Let me begin with a disclaimer. I don’t hate anyone but I intensely dislike the Orange Orangutan With Tiny Baby Hands who is currently occupying the Oval Office. I will NEVER refer to that vile “human being” as President anything.  For all the noise, the monkey made about President Obama being illegitimate, Donald Trump is the most illegitimate, unqualified individual to ever hold that office.
Okay, now that the formalities are out of the way, how DO you keep your sanity? First, sometimes you must take a break from social media, television, even print media. Those nubby little fingers are usually quite busy and the media eats it up. Thus, he’s everywhere. If you’re anything like me, the mere sight of him of or the sound of that voice is a trigger but for our sanity, we must let it go.  
I was quite vocal on Facebook immediately following the election. My friends were certain that I was going to blow a gasket. I assured them that I was okay but I had to let it go. So, in terms of coping, feel free to vent, rant, rave but when you’re done, let it go.

I guess the main take away is acceptance. I accept the he’s there. I accept that unless Congress takes action, the Orange Orangutan With Tiny Baby Hands is going to get us all NUKED. See how easy that is…? One thing is for sure, I’m going to enjoy life every day and you should too. Let’s do this people!

Monogamy, Obamacare and Marissa Alexander

Does that seem like an odd title for a blog?  Perhaps but I am on serious information overload today!  You see, I was perusing Facebook as I often do to get material for my blog and I come across this post by Michael Baisden.  He posted a link for a video where there is a sociologist discussing the merits of sex outside of marriage.  Of course this piqued my interest but I couldn't get the damn thing to open....  Anyway, I began to ponder this concept and I touched on it briefly in my book (shameless plug you'll have to read the book).  Should we become more open-minded about the whole concept of monogamy?  How many marriages and families are destroyed by cheating, perhaps unnecessarily?  What if spicing things up meant having sex with someone who isn't your spouse or significant other?  Now this will not work for everyone but what if it works for some couples?  There needs to be open and honest dialogue between the parties involved....

Things in the news that annoy and irritate me

Well the government is now back open for business.   The troubling part is that it never should have been shut down in the first place.   A small group of Republicans (the Tea Party faction) basically threw a temper tantrum that’s going to cost America $25 billion.   I don’t know about you but when my child behaves badly there is always some type of consequences. As a parent, I don’t reward bad behavior.   If they want to behave like spoiled children I say we treat them as such.   I have heard the word sedition (1) thrown around.   At the very least, these folks should be required to repay the money. These idiotic, racist “tea baggers” hijacked the entire federal government and caused needless human suffering and now have nothing to show for it.   I think Ted Cruz’s name should be at the top of the list. In their efforts to make President Obama look bad, they have made America the laughing stock of the entire world.   Let’s be perfectly cl...
