RICH DEMOCRATIC HOMOSEXUAL CELEBRITIES

My daughter and I were in line at Kroger, and usual had to wait to pay for our purchase!



And what do most folks do when they are standing in the check-out line?



So my daughter was reading the latest escapades of Tom, Katie and Suri, and commenting on the absurdity of Tom and scientology.



Then the adventure began.



We got up to the register and obviously, the cashier figured we were comrades in her disdain of all things hollywood.

She leaned over and said, "Do you know what the real problem is?'

I thought she would give the usual comment about how Jesus is the only true way, or some variation thereof, but I was wrong.

She leaned over and very quietly said..."The problem is Hollywood is filled with rich democrats. Rich democrats and homosexuals who believe everything they hear"

Okay, so I am not rich and I am not a homosexual, and I am not a celebirty, but I found it very difficult to remain quiet.

I leaned over and very quietly (and politely) replied "There are democrats and homosexuals right here in this town and I really don't think they are the problem. (I didn't defend rich folk--sorry).

And I walked out of Kroger. I turned to my daughter and said "This country deserves everyone they vote for."

New Job, Less Stress, More Money

Need I say more?
I am now doing community collaborations-in other words, I get to schmooze for work. I try to get communities to work togther on issues.
Now, you must know, I am not , at this point in time, a supporter of Hillary for the democratic nomination for president. However, IT REALLY DOES TAKE A VILLAGE to raise a child, and I never could understand the objection to that concept.
I surely don't want the government interfering for the most part (government defined as community) but, how many of us can tell the story of Mrs. Brown letting our mother know she had seen us at the local candy store, when our mother thought we were in school. Or how many of us were able to go to our neighbor's house after school, because our mother needed to take grandpa to the doctor.
How many of us could depend on our neighbors for help if we needed it now, and aren't our neighbors quicker to step in then asking the government to do something?
Community, folks...we are how things happen!
