The children in the freezer

Yesterday I was reading about a mother who beat and made her son drink cleaning supplies in trying to teach him a lesson. the I read about the dead children in the freezer.
As I sit as person, a daughter, and a mother, I have to ask what goes into a person's mind to make them want to harm a child? The woman went on her day, every day knowing the bodies of these children were in a freezer.
I think tonight we need to pray for our children and the parents that watch over them
the closet and the clothes

I am a packrat, flea market,estate sale, yard sale, second hand store person. These areas have furnished my home, and my wardrobe. I did not know how bad it effected me until I decided to redo the closet. I found out I had 42 coats, 19 pair of black pants, 12 pair of blue pants, 21 beige shirts and the list goes on. there were 91 pairs of sandals 3 pair of the same color boots ( OMG) to make a long store short it was a mess. I had enough clothes to fill a room and I did. As I begin to reset the closet so my husband can share it too. See he was in the hall, I was thinking I can just sale these. Naw! These clothes were designers and many are in the best shape they are in because I take care of them and I get the best of the best.
Anyway, I was thinking, someone is looking for a job, or in need of some clothes and do not have any so I am going to my blogger friends for assistance. I want to donate these clothes to someone so that they may enjoy them as well. See many are in a a size 16 and 14 and the pro se is not in a 9-10. Oh I forgot I am a sale freak too because I buy winter shoes in the summer, you get the point.( anyway) the I am giving away clothes and all that can not go in is going as well. I am given away coats too. See they are heavy coats and I have the dry clean every year.
Finally, you say okay, why you have so many coats. Well, when I was little I had to keep my coat in good condition because we were poor. So when now I buy coats and have them clean so if I see a friend or family that does not have a coat, I don't have to wait. I buy kids coats and if it reasonable I get it and keep it. I don't keep coats long.
anyway, if you know someone or if it is you, just email me at samantha_28935@msn.com( the real prose name) and I will be more than happy to drop or meet you. Or if you know a place in need, let me know. Not everything is about making money. I feel like a millionaire when I can give too. Now I am still going to my favorite places, it is just going to be hard to look and not buy.
What happens when you reelect a President that lied about the war, lied about weapons, and tell you things have never been better ? A country falling apart.
Septebmer 11, was our turning point in our country, but it was our President that have done far more than terrorist could have ever done. Our Present sent our sons and daughters to fight one war and later to another war in claiming victory which they are still fighting for that victory. He sold us a bad dream of other nations plotting after us, when in reality it was his advisors and other government officials he brought into office. You knew it was a game because during his reign, people left without given any notice.
Oh, we complained about the Clinton years and what he did with that Intern. But as we complained, we were able to feed our families, pay our rent and house payments, and yes, put gas into our cars. Now that the bailout has failed, we, Americans, who was once a proud country, with freedom under our wings, have been reduced to borrowing that cup of sugar, flour, and bread from other countries in shame. We have always been the country that bailed other out, now we need bailing ourself.
We are so pride in fighting a war we are losing, Our president don't have sense to say quit. Not on his sorry watch. Putting billions of dollars into a country that is killing us to leave. We snub our nose at taking care of our country to give others who wants us to leave freedom. I thought when you take over a country with oil the gas should be cheaper. then again if your family has stock in shell then it could get higher
As we continue to drive ( if you still can) read, or see on the TV many Americans losing their homes, jobs, and the stocks fall apart, I wonder what the people who voted for Bush to return to office is thinking. Maybe they should have a lot harder as they too, get boxes to pack their belongings to their new home, the curb of the street in their own town.
Or that person who has to cut back on driving and feeding the family. No we are heading towards harder times.

First he says to us he is sorry for slavery. No money was given but sorry.
now he has passed a bill honoring Issac Hayes, get real!
Okay our community is in a mess, our country is in a mess, Issac Hayes is somewhere looking up at us and can not do a thing. Did I miss the boat on this one.
Naming building of blacks, having black day is not help us as a community. Wall street is having melt down and he is trying to change the airport to Hayes name. I could understand if he found a cure for a disease or changed world to provide food for everyone.
he sang some songs got famous, move to CA. and then believed in Xenu like God was a fictional person.
Oh but you guys were hard on Nikki and she was inexperience and played the race card. Looks like it is still being played.
I guess when I go the the Dixie Queen he is going to name that the Maxine Smith building or drive by the Food stamp office it will be named BB. King building. or better yet the Mata place will be called the Fred G Sanford station.
just to make blacks feel like citizens of this wonder city

For the past 3 months I have been trying to get into my passion job, the legal field. You would think that all that has happen, i would just go the other way. I have been on interviews and when attorneys find out what all I have done, they do not call me back. I have been grilled about who taught me this and one attorney just flat out told me that I know too much. A great change has been going on in my life ( if you have been reading, don't feel sad) and my desire has been growing. Because of this, things have happened on my job as well.
I want to be a legal assistant but I can't get the chance. I will not give up so that is not an option. I have went to the Memphis legal placement and now I am just sending my resume to every law firm in Memphis, what do you think?
Only family and Friends

For about 6 months, my cousins, their friends and my brother-in-law knew that my mom's sister was ill and that she did not want to see her. I wrote a blog about that but that is another story.
With all doing their part they kept my mom's sister illness away from her and the fact that she was dying. My mom took it real hard because the fallout was about tringles that my grandmother left and the sister wanted all of it to go to her child. My mom has since then sent her cards which she never replied. During her illness leading to her death, my mom pleaded to see her sister to tell her she love her. No one did a thing. My mom pleaded for cousins and friends to tell her sister she loved her. No one did a thing. She was cast aside like she had no heart and no feelings.
The hatred that was in my mom's sister's heart was more than I have ever seen and I had to wonder if my mom was in that position and she ask me to carry something like that out, with my heart could I do it.? No, I love my mom too much to allow her soul to be judge by hate. It would have been up to my mom to tell her that and be held accountable. I see now that when they were all carrying that out, they were declaring my mom dead too. Funny she was named on the ob. I guess just to make themselves look good. From all my cousins and those who took part in this, you will be held accountable by God.
My mom is still hurting and I can not tell her that her sister was buried next to the Aunt I loved so much. It is going to be hard for me because I loved my Aunt Martha and did not know this woman who is next to her. Or that my Brother in law knew of this and took part in the funeral. I guess there is no such thing as family sticking together. My mom is the only one now. Her mom, dad, and both sisters are gone and she being the baby is even worst. Even after the death, no one called her to let her know she died, she heard it through other people.
God has a purpose for her being the last and I pray that he will show her. Right now I do not consider any of those people a part of me and I have no plans to be in their lives. Since they have killed us off. there is no need to come and see us when our transistion to the other side comes for us.
I want my mom and my family to be surrounded only loved family and friends
An Inside job

I work hard for my little trinkets that i wear and have in my home. Stealing from someone's home is a shame.
The lady who home was broken into was frantic and I know felt violated. Trusting someone who she thought she could trust steal from her home. I bet that lady would have given her anything if she asked for it.
People think that they are smarter than the police but, in all, it is the person who knows the home is the first suspect. Was it worth it? No, but tell that to the person stealing at the time.
for all of you who think you are smart, there is no way that stealing, setting people up, or masterminding the job is going to get you rich or give you a void out.

I prayed and asked God for something and he started the change. I, just like others want the blessing but not the process of what it takes. After I prayed a month later things started to go wrong, or right in my life. My husband and I parted, my daughter and I could not see eye to eye, I was unhappy, and I was having problems on my job. I knew I could not ask God why like I did not know because I know he was doing a makeover and it was not going to be nice.
With prayer I went through so many emotions, from worrying to crying to anger, and hurt. My life on the outside look like a mess with dirt all over the place, but really, it was spring cleaning. See, it is easy for people to say let God handle it but it is hard to do. God was taking everything out of our lives and exposing them to us. My husband later lost his job. Was I walking with God when I was scared or have I always done this? I was a wounded person on the battlefield of life. So I went through all the motion of talking to God to crying to him. Then I made my peace and let go. Of course, I was hurting and that is where I found unconditional love. I learned that during the time of my sister and my dad. I learn that I have no control over anything including my own life( funny how we think we do).
As I became stronger I learn to read and I started to mediate and I get up every morning at 3am to pray. I have a prayer partner in California and we call and pray together. See God is doing a makeover in her life too. My peace gave me comfort and I soon reached another level in my relationship with my God. One day, I became weak and my God knew this. I found myself in the bathroom taking a bath, again, pouring my heart out. I need the comforter to hold me and tell my soul it would be alright. I had to go back to the word and I did. Just as I finished, my husband knocked on the door and I let him in. It had been a while since we had talked like friends, laughed, and just held each other. That moment we did. God confirmed what was needed for me. As I hugged my best friend I thanked God as I have received the greatest gift of all.. the head of our home.
Everyday is a new step, a new prayer, and stronger faith. I no longer take anything God has given me for granted. Today we have to many people doubting God's word and saying that his blessing can not come true today as they did thousands of years ago. I say to you, God's word has never changed, we have. We never question him for the good times only when bad comes into play. We consider bad things a punishment and good a great gift.
I thank God for allowing me to endure a storm because it taught me so much about me and my husband. We have a foundation. We have love and with that it could only be accomplish by God's grace and mercy. For those of you who are trying to repair or help your life, I say let it go. Life is too big for a person to handle. It is so big you need a mighty God to handle it.
I have been reading in the newspaper about what is going on with parents selling their children for sex, and not reporting them missing.
First little Caylee. This mother waits one month before her MOTHER reported the baby missing. Then photos comes out of her partying the day the little girl became missing. This mother ( i will say at the moment) has refused to tell anyone the whereabouts of the child or her state.
In Memphis a man beat to death his infant child and then left the scene.
Next is the grosses of all. a 25 year old mother and her married boyfriend were texting people to have sex with a 5 year old and was grooming the 10month to follow. The mother was going to watch so that she can get her rocks off too.
No I did not want any children, but that was my choice. I can not understand why people would have these children and hurt them? I could think of a lot of people that want children so badly and can not have them. My sister and her husband adopted a child and she is the love of our lives. When I was expecting my child ( my daughter) I was willing to give her away. It was my mother that talked me out of it. Because I had her, it was my job to be a mother. I had to put my wild ways away and be a parent. What is so hard for that?
we can come up with a million laws to protect the children but in all, they are in harms way and not by the stranger on the street, but the stranger in the home they call mommie and daddy. We as people look the other way, or say it is not our business, but in all, we are just as guilty. When I see children not at school and it is 10am and they are playing in the street, I call the police. When I see children in the street playing and it is late at night, I call the police. When I see children that look like they have had on clothes for days the same ones, I call children services. Just like I would do for an animal.
IN all, we just have some sick Mudda's out here. We can no longer say it is not in our family because they are, Their names are uncle, aunt, cousins, daddy, mommie, and jr. Our children are in danger and the parents are the mastermind of the danger.
R.I.P Tootsie the dog

She was a stray that found us. A tiny little thing that was full of fight. When we took her home she was just happy to have food, water, and a place to lay her head. When we left our home, she was family and if she was not welcome then we were not welcome.
she got sick a week before we left our home and was never the same. It was so hard to keep her well and we had surgery and medication to keep her well. Last week was a year that he became ill and on August 18,2008 Toots, a fighter of her life, gave in to a seizure and died. She died in my daughter's arms and in our home.
It is hard to believe that she is gone, but this little dog was a fighter and taught me to fight. She became dependent on us and we took care of her like a sick family member. she could not bark or had that fight that we were use to seeing. Yet, she had that fighting spirit.
I never loved a dog so much than I loved her. We buried her under the family pet tree in my sister's yard. she is there with my sister's dogs and she is still loved.
Rest in Peace fighting toots, rest in peace you are free
Blacks in Memphis

I have had some time to really get over the August 7th election to voice my reflections on the overall process and the outcome.
I was thinking how and what was said by the media as my friend, yeah, I consider her, Nikki was losing the race. What is true is true.
Blacks don't want this world to consider us to be equal but we are far from it. We have to be better than any other race in getting jobs, education, and rights before court. We are considered lazy and up until this point, I really thought it was just a statement.. But, we are lazy and still just as ignorant as the days are long.
Obama is playing the White image and Ford married one. I had no problem with that but they really feel that this country is looking at them as men, when it fact, are looking at them as Black men. one dark who has a white mom and one looks White.
I had to sit down and listen as our own Black media talked about how she played the race card when Herrenton did it and was praised as being a smart Ghetto man. We are a trip. Then we sit all around and complain and gripe about how bad things are for us. We are too lazy to make a change and I see that in Memphis. I can say this, when we had Hackett in office who was a white man, we had pick up. or streets were clean and Memphis took pride in it's city. Things were not perfect , but they are better than the slums we live in now. But then they say all Blacks are use to this.
I called Nikki and told her not to give up. she is 37 and has a bright future. In fact, working this election with her as even made me want to move forward in my stand still life. and Wendi was wrong, the elderly does sit on the porch waiting for something. My grandmother still had one check coming in the mail. She did not trust the bank. Wendi as nasty as she wants to be, took that as a fact instead of a symbolic. Again another ignorant Black taking something out of context.
Maybe a Black man should not be elected into office, after all, look what our Black man did to our city.
Nikki Tinker lastest TV Ad

I was listening to the radio talk show about the recent ad of Walter Bailey stating an issue against Steve Cohen regarding the name change of a Former KKK and racist person honored in a park.
The timing of this ad goes with the timing of a bill that Steve Cohen did saying sorry ( nothing more, nothing less).
Okay when Corker used a distasteful ad bring an image that Ford Jr, was a man having sex with anyone and the logo " Call me" was displayed, the White media said nothing about that.
The truth is the light and I feel that Cohen does not care about Black Memphians except on election day. He talks about the building of the Airport but again, unless all the Blacks live out thate, it did not benefit no one but Businesses. When he talk about the money for the Med. The med is still in financial hardship and it is nasty going in and coming out.
He says that if he re elected that he would find a way to help the community, Something we needed when he was going in. Issac Hayes endorse him and Hayes lives in another state so so how would he know what to do?
This ad shows where is morals are because if he was against any injustice he would start where he has power and that is in the House to make changes in the courts that are down here being ran by his crooked friends. The act was a pony and show act, but hey no one is looking at that..
AND AS FAR AS OUR SO CALLED OFFENDED BLACK LEADERS.... PLEASE YOU SELLING US OUT TOO SO DON'T EVEN TALK
If we are going to call a spade a spade, then call a crooked Congressman who is using Blacks and thinking they are dumb to keep his job.
I am dealing with something that is really heavy on my heart. It is because of this that I can not sleep, eat, or think. I find myself crying just thinking about it and then have to put on a face to go to work. As I write this I was thinking about where is my faith in God and the willing to fight the good fight.
Now I am no quitter, I fought First Tennessee in the courts for four years and I fought to the end. Even when I lost my home and all everything I worked for, God gave it back with more. Somehow I am faced with another fight which is more personal than material and I begin to pray and I was thinking about Peter.
As you all might know that Jesus asked Peter to come to him and between them was a body of water. Peter started to walk and became scare and doubted God and begin to go into the water. As he did, he cried to God. As I begin to type this I recall where a great storm was gaining and Jesus was sleep and the men on the boat became afraid and called upon Jesus.
As my heart ache, I think of Peter on the water and wonder why was he afraid? Jesus had told him to come. Then I find myself on the water and scared and crying to Jesus myself. It is hard to see when you are praying some thing or someone that you have no control over. I can imagine Peter did trust Jesus but was just scared of the unknown or that Jesus would forget about him and let him go under.
Right now I am just putting my first foot into the water getting ready to walk to Jesus. I am praying I don't doubt him and sink.
