Clarity

I didn’t know that I have a real problem.
It appears when I received emails that have to do with people talking down to me that I want to shout back you don’t know me at all!
I suspect it has to do with the fact that these last few years I have been quite reticent as far as my involvement goes with anything public in nature!
The yearning to set people straight has been most frustrating to me at times since I know that I have had an incredible attitude about life and was totally unselfish and lived life to the fullest for a large part of my existence… but some people feel the necessity to tell me to do all those things that will fulfill my somewhat empty existence they ( here we go again with ‘they’ who are ‘they’ really?), somehow feel that I have! And they don’t know how much that hurts my feelings… and so below you will find my bio on my Facebook page … in all its glory! Hang on it could be a bumpy ride for all you newbies! HA!

“Over the thirty-two years I did work I had been co-owner of three businesses, a wicker store in Toms River NJ, one restaurant in Ormond Beach FL and underground sprinkler business which was the second largest in NJ, plus I worked in promotion and advertising as well as being a district manager for an international environmentally safe products company, as a department and credit manager for Lord and Taylor’s in Ridgewood NJ, and a sales and floor manager for Ohrbachs in Paramus NJ. Not to mention nearly forty years on and off of working with non-profits as a volunteer. Almost any ill you can think of fund raising, as a board member, teaching classes, advocacy and co-president of support groups. Also with my husband with Boy Scouts when he was scouting co-coordinator for Ocean County NJ and assistant soccer coach and Fire Chief in NJ too. And if anyone was wondering I also had the privilege of visiting 40 US states and eight countries all before I married.

I have recently been informed since I am not in business anymore that this is just my personal Facebook page not a business page and I am retired actually real-tired, and NOT a realtor or a life coach or in marketing and do not need to sell my home in a short sale and have no authority to sell anyone else's that way either! LOL So now I have put my lack of ambitions right out there for all to see...this is purely for my selfish entertainment of learning about new and different people and their lives from all over the world and here at home in the USA! PS if I wanted to have someone tell me to be positive in life I would do it to myself in the mirror, where I would actually see and hear it! And so as much as I appreciate the goodwill you all seem to have in a jar from that stockroom called never ever give up, and all is always going to turn out all right...I have been there too, and from personal experience which my sixty years have given to me! So there! Please stop preaching to us in the choir gals and treating most of us like we don't know a thing. And if I wanted to be a millionaire don't you think that I would have done that by now? That is not the only answer to happiness... peace and quiet, good honest loving friends, and family that you actually care about and they about you are worth more than all of that moola!
Now you are all informed and this is my disclaimer to any other thoughts you may have had about me... so there! I just stuck my adult tongue out at you too!
I'm getting older and not much better and "disabled" with MS and arthritis, half blind and barely can walk, but otherwise, OK, now but still thinking, although some may question that concept.
I did also attend Paramus schools from kindergarten through my sophomore year of high school, but moved to Emerson and graduated from there in 1968 in NJ; then on to LIM. But have been living here in Florida since 1986, nine years on the east coast in Ormond Beach and then almost four in Punta Gorda and the last twelve in Port Charlotte.
I write a nightly Blog: see below for the link...
It is me at my best and worst! And it's all I got these days to feel really good about! That is that I can still think; I think! LOL!
PS: Now my Blog is called Speaking My Mind! The link below is my blog:

OK, so perhaps it is a wee bit verbose although with a touch of tongue in cheek humor for any who can see it, but we all know that is me; it is all true too!

Listen I love my readership and have no qualms about you all since you have been there listening and I do believe you really know me…it’s the others who, oh dear here we go again… ‘Assume’ ( making an ass of you and me) that I am this or that!
Also that I do not care for soldiers why my dead brother was in the Air Force as a Medic during the Korean War since he was nineteen years older than me and my own younger son was in the Navy for six years and was in their nuke program and an officer and now is a nuclear engineer in the private sector for nearly ten years, and it is war that I hate not the soldiers! Let’s get this straight, and I also do not like people to tell me that their religious beliefs should be mine, sorry that is just me! No more Zealots please!
I am not anti-religion I just do not like people to ‘assume’ that I believe what they do, ok?

Boy this rant felt good once again…
Sorry if I am boring you, but I am sure that you would also love a forum for setting others straight with their assumptions of you too!
Not to be mean only to remove the unsettling feeling of being so misunderstood is what I am saying…

And so on that elongated concise, strange to some, reasoning of mine I would love to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to all ask you kindly to count all those blessings and share all those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
