not sure why it took me so long to join the TN group here..guess I'm finally getting used to DU and how it works! Ive been around DU a while, live in Bristol, Have a absolutely drop dead gorgeous 32 yo challenge daughter and wife with Copd. I am retired now. Worked my last 9 year sas upper mgmnt in the intellectually challenged adult field. I was over supported living homes in that field. ( my largest workload was 13 home, 3 individuals per home, 13 home managers and approx 75-100 staff, I was on call 24/7) That tidbit is not to blow my horn,,but to show what I believed in,fought for,DID in my real life, and quite frankly it almost killed me, I ended up in ICU right before I retired and told the Director my truths.
So I feel introduced, I have my strong opinions on DIDD in Tn and of course the politics of Tn. I look forward to some intelligent conversations with fellow Tennesseans.

Soph0571 posted this 5 days ago and it tore my heart out. 5 days in this situation is an eternity it seems. I dont feel this post got to people then, I still cannot read this simple "silver linings" post with tearing up over the sheer truth of children.

God Bless the Children that got caught up in an adult's mess

I was in grocer yesterday, getting a few supplies we ran short on. And say an elderly couple, 70s , with obviously hand sewn masks on.
The gentleman's was the American flag design and the ladie's was a red mask with the "MAGA" logo cut out from the cap sewn on it.
I probably should have said something about their hero, but I was honestly a bit shocked.

DimwitDon,, to save your "barely past primate stage" base from any further distress about possible abortions and such, next time I have sex, I'll wear a sock. Hope this helps.

and standing in line. And this store had no marks on floor where to stand for social distancing, so I laid down and my heel accidently, touch the person in front of me. The Maga turned around and said "WTH??"" I stood up and said, " Im 6 ft tall, I was just trying to figure out where to stand, put your gun away"

Credit to a 6ft person who posted anonymous,, but it made me chuckle..

just had a long talk with Mrs K
we are honestly going through things,,,house sales, family dying,,my rum drinking and this morn I happened to blurt out my heart,,and she just stopped.. stared at me ,,,, cried all I said was "it is easy to say you love, there is a far greater responsibility to know that you are BEING LOVED"


addendum to GD forums,,lets just take the responsibility of being loved....

we are honestly going through things,,,house sales, family dying,,my rum drinking and this morn I happened to blurt out my heart,,and she just stopped.. stared at me ,,,, cried all I said was "it is easy to say you love, there is a far greater responsibility to know that you are BEING LOVED"

buy ground beef,chicken ,turkey you choice,, 1lb to 1pack ,buy taco seasoning,brown your protein and stop,,do not add the water that taco seasoning asks for...add the taco seasoning. add anything that you like on tacos,,onions peppers and on and on , and then add instead of water, jars of salsa, your flavor,your heat, I do do a 16 oz jar of salsa for 1.5 pounds of protein, but it can vary, beauty of this recipe.

now you have your protein mix,, buy 10 inch tortillas, I use special hi protein, lo carb kind and lets build,, 9x 13 pan lay down 2 tortillas and wrap sides up,,, toss a layer of your protein mix on and put 2 more tortillas down, etc etc unil 9x13 dish is full,, it is 4 layers in this house. toss all in a 350 degree oven for 30 mins. Cut like you would a lasagne, serve, I serve with a dollop of FF sour cream,, and just enjoy..

She is 81 yrs old, and asked me quite simply,, " my church wants to online services, but I have to join FB to do it" She was worried because I think FB is evil,,and still do. So I told her,, " here is your choice,, " You will not be able to talk while on FB live,you will only listen to the Pastor, you will not have the chance to say hi to your friends like you do when you go to church. If you truly love the way your pastor preaches, then go ahead. She said no,, it's not that. And I told her,,, do not join FB for this,,just say a prayer to God and let him know,, and my GOD MOM,,, call your friends that you miss. FB is EVIL" she just told me she loves me,but needed to hear it. I told her I loved her, and don't panic Mom.....
