So my last three quite political posts got some interest...

 

And let's hope this one might as well too!

Not to be too besmirching of our governor's trying to do something good...but and this is a VERY BIG BUT! Let's face it when not all your seniors have received the first vaccination and you decide to move on by adding to the feeding frenzy by throwing another group into the mix...

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM!!! That is unless you are going to get more vaccines that would be double or triple what you have been getting! 

Okay, my husband is a retired fire chief and deputy, and my cousins are retired teachers and to me, there are no better groups of people more deserving to get the shots, but if one system isn't working why throw in another one??? There is sure to be havoc ensuing shortly!

Tomorrow is the day that the fifty-year-olds and older in those groups mentioned above teachers, firefighters, EMTs, etc. are set to be on the list to also become eligible for the vaccines... meanwhile we still wait, and have been waiting since the whole shebang began... We, my husband and I, are in our seventies my husband with high blood pressure, and me with MS, asthma, heart disease, CKD, and hypothyroid. We have been on several lists and never once have been scheduled! Even have received phone calls that we still are on those lists and we even receive weekly texts.

This system stinks.

And I recently found out that our county of Charlotte, in Florida, is one of the worst as far as receiving the vaccine. We are NOT a wealthy county, and if that is the governor's criteria for getting the vaccine, as many believe, that could be one of the reasons why we have not!

I like to say we are living large in the cheap seats here in Port Charlotte! With a waterfront property, ten minutes to the harbor via our pontoon boat.

But the governor, I suppose, doesn't see any of us wealthy enough to contribute handsomely to his re-election, in my case, even if I were wealthy I would not.

I'll tell you why, this is as if you have not been following my blogs, which I have been stating loudly and clearly my opinion of him... An Ivy League education does not buy you common sense, you have to be born with that. And no, I am not putting down all Ivy League-educated people, I have a few in my family and they are great... but thank G-d they were born with common sense as well, a family trait I do think... 

Any-who, he has too many issues with his own identity, he keeps thinking that he is the X-so-called president! I was NOT fond of him either.... for many of the reasons mentioned previously in my most recent blogs that recapped those issues.

The original motivation for our governor to do something other than what most states were doing by making the first doses available for 65 and over were his own parents, he even stated it, every other state were initiating their roll-outs with 70+, but he was motivated by love for his parents, okey-dokey! I suppose by now they have gotten both doses since now the rest of us older folks with also younger children, okay a few years older than our own governor, but they too are Floridians waiting for their turns... and hoping that their parents have theirs, but have seemed to be thrown under the bus!!!

UNFAIR! Totally!!!

And as of tomorrow, unless he foresees that he is having more than any other states' share of the vaccines percentage-wise since none of them have gone that route that I have heard of to another grouping... if we are getting triple the amount then OKAY, it might just work!

As far as I know, we are not getting that many more or more than we were going to get, get it?  I had wished months and months ago that our X-so-called president while still the president would get COVID-19 so I thought then he would understand the need to be serious about its effects on people... NOT A HOAX and my expression I had coined was I would hope that he would, "get it to get it!" But after he did get it he seemed to never ever get it, understand it,....so do you think our Florida governor would get it to really get it??? I don't think that would ever happen.

To be honest I would not wish it on my worst enemy...

But he is not my friend nor my enemy... and so, do any of you think if he got it he would get it?

NOPE!

To him, it's a weird numbers game.

Whatever looks good, he goes for it.

We are doomed.

I barely leave the house now except for doctors and hospitals...it will be years folks and even after you get the vaccine remember it is not a free pass to remove that mask or not to social distance!!! Still be careful as if you are still able to spread it, which you are, as per Dr. Fauci!

And so we must go for now...

Please be smart, as well as safe.

Have a very pleasant night.

Count those blessings, and we will too!

Next time, please be here, or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say Good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia but American-made. I will comply anyway for the fun of it,... so I will say Good Day!

I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. And without a second thought, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,...some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd but,...as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though tipping the scales around seventy pounds, HA! A very big one! 
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.

                            3 months................................................3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. 

Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for Australian shepherds, only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. The middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards as well as difficulties...We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in from my previous family, stating, that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!

And please don't forget me, I am Chance a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven! I enjoy a good tug-of-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

Now my name of Chance is because I was given another chance, could be only the second one or perhaps more... The animal control lady came out to see if I had a chip with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
