But you must let go, nothing this women does will help this child. Not until this child sees for them self that they have a problem and wishes to seek help. Addicts will always blame someone else for everything wrong with their life, never themselves. They will just about kill you, zapping you of everything, your life revolves around them, keeping them out of harms reach, keeping them from drinking, doing drugs or whatever becomes you whole life. Until this women seeks help for herself, she will be no good to this child. You have to be healthy in order to help someone… » Posted By BigDogMom On April 8, 2011 @ 3:37 pm aud, isn’t that sad that they are so blinded and bound by their fear and anger? » Posted By BigDogMom On April 8, 2011 @ 3:25 pm bito, with anything “walking the talk” means a big deal to people, especially Independents. To say that Tea Partiers have “Over Stepped” on their part is putting it mildly, in fact I think that they have “overstepped” so much, that they are about mid way down from their fall off the political cliff… » Posted By BigDogMom On April 8, 2011 @ 3:21 pm I’ve experienced what you have described, no matter what you do to help someone suffering from addiction stop the destructive behaviour it will never work, the addict needs to do this himself. Sad to say, that some addicts never reach that bottom that they need to in time to save themselves and recover. She needs to get counciling herself to learn how to set boundaries and to heal herself…then she can help him. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 8, 2011 @ 3:12 pm From the study: New York experienced the most significant increase in peace as a result of decreases in violent crime and the homicide rate. http://www.visionofhumanity.org/info-center/us-peace-index/ » Posted By BigDogMom On April 8, 2011 @ 2:55 pm PW, along with the “shame” gene… » Posted By BigDogMom On April 8, 2011 @ 12:46 pm I hope it’s true and that they nail her ass, this would shut the Republicans up for a long time and maybe, just maybe stop them from accusing the Democrats of voter fraud all the time… » Posted By BigDogMom On April 8, 2011 @ 12:44 pm I believe the Dems are walking a political tight rope, they are like deer in headlights, they have lost their voice for some reason, they are scared of saying what they stand for because they fear losing the center as well as losing their big Corporate campaign donors. They too have bought into the Republican fear machine. They got burned by the Republicans on Health care Reform, so what do they do now, say nothing. This morning Bill Bradley was on Morning Joe, he said that once we remove big money from the campaigns for both the house and senate and have public financing of campaigns, this is the shit that we are going to get. Once that is removed, the fear is removed, then maybe they can get down to real governing and stand toe to toe ideologically. Also, it would help if the President was a little more vocal and set some kind of agenda for the Dems…I feel like we are walking in the wilderness, lost. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 4:17 pm KT, I don’t think it’s Walker, I think it’s the Fitzgerald boys that are behind most of the shenanigans in Wisconsin. Walker doesn’t seem too bright, re: the fake Koch Bros. phone call, voter fraud via messing with the ballots seems out of his league. I believe he’s more of a puppet, than a puppeteer. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 1:20 pm Chase, being over there is penance enough! » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 1:17 pm Yep, it’s kinda like if the US Chamber of Commerce hates it, then it must be OK! 😆 I do like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, I think she will bring some new energy to the Dems, she is a great off the cuff speaker, clear and concise, something that is much needed. Plus she’s got chutzpah, something that quite a number of Dems seem to lack these days. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 1:15 pm bito, this is not just a “budget”, but a “cause” according to Ryan…do like your new title for it 😆 » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 1:10 pm Patsy, that is weird, most people just vote straight Dem or Republican, well, if there is a recount, they should be able to pick up any abnormalities. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 1:03 pm bito, I saw that, gee, would have really like to have seen how he linked 9/11 to the Wisconsin election and budget cuts, that must have been a stretch even for ol’Glenn boy there….and we all know that ALL students who protest are Lenin’s “useful idiots”!!! » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 1:00 pm bito, OMG, did I just hear the angels up on high start singing and the heavens open up or is my mind playing tricks with me? 🙂 (right now doing a my happy dance 😆 !!!!) » Posted By BigDogMom On April 6, 2011 @ 10:35 am Well night all, take care, peace, love and all that other crap… 🙂 » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 6:52 pm Cher, sometimes listening is the hardest things to do. I hope that they give you some key questions as suggestions to get people to open up to you, sometimes it’s hard for people to speak about what’s going in in their life or their feelings about something. I also hope that you will share these with us, so we too can help. I know that a good sense of humor always helps break the ice…I think the Pope and Walker joke might do it! » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 6:49 pm As of 9:45pm 50-50 split..woo this is close. *Edit* 278/3630 precincts in » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 6:36 pm Cher, I really don’t know what to think since I didn’t hear it for myself, I was just going by your transciption of the call… » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 6:34 pm bito – Not a one, you need to go to liberal blogs to find out what’s going on. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 6:19 pm Cher, do you think this was pre-recorded? » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 6:17 pm Artist, I just don’t get where the Republicans are coming from, what are they thinking? My sister-in-law is now in a beautiful facility due to the ravages of Type I diabetes, the family could no longer care for her, her medical issues where just too great for us to handle. What are they going to do, tell these people and their families to pull themselves up by their boot straps and tough it out? Every time I think I have heard the worst from this party, something else comes out to top it. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 6:13 pm Cher, I agree, the Dems look weak and the President is once again capitulating to the Repubs…I also get that this could be a political move of looking like the sane ones if the government shuts down and it will shift the blame to the Repubs, but highly doubt that it will work, the Repubs have too good of a message machine. I don’t get the move, I’ve just about had it with the messaging..maybe that should be your question tonight…WTF are you doing? » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 5:26 pm Cher, I had the same question, see below for Adlibs answer, it’s not really $73 billion and too confusing for me to explain. Per Adlib: The figure of $73 billion is confusing because it is only compared to Obama’s originally proposed budget for 2011. The reality is, the cuts compared to last year’s budget are only $33 billion Obama’s original proposed 2011 budget was higher than his 2010 budget by $40 billion. So now that he’s working on a new budget that is $33 billion less than 2010′s, it is rechnically $73 billion less than his originally proposed budget. I think Obama and Dems are using this irrelevant number to make the $33 billion in cuts look bigger but comparing them to a proposal is a bit deceptive. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 5:07 pm Abby, unfortunately the American public doesn’t get involved until it effects them directly…once the parents of autistic kids loose funding, or elderly parents are sent home, or I fear, many die from these cuts, will anything be done. I just pray the Dems take this one up and I also pray the families members of loved ones on Medicaid to keep them alive rise up and speak out! » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 4:55 pm Other News today, Bristol Palin made over $250 as abstinence advocate In 2009, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol joined a teen pregnancy prevention nonprofit called the Candie’s Foundation. Today, the Associated Press reported that the Candie’s Foundation released its 2009 tax information, revealing that Bristol was paid a salary of $262,500. […] But a closer examination of the tax form by ThinkProgress shows that the group disbursed only $35,000 in grants to actual teen pregnancy health and counseling clinics: $25,000 to the Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center and $10,000 to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. […] Thus, the nonprofit paid Bristol over seven times what it paid to teen pregnancy prevention groups. […] Many critics have pointed out that the Candie’s Foundation appears to be geared towards improving the public image of Cole’s company rather than reducing teen pregnancy. http://thinkprogress.org/2011/04/05/bristol-palin-profiteer-teen-pregnancy/ So, basically she was paid to promote the Candie’s Corporation, she should have just made a commercial or print ad wearing there clothing line for all the good she has done. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 4:49 pm The public needs to be educated on Medicaid, 88% of recipients are the elderly or disabled, I need to find the figures on how many of these are in nursing homes. Many boomer’s who have or are about to have parents in homes need to learn that when the money runs out in this program, old mom and dad are going to be living with them. Do you know how expensive this is going to be for them? This would kill any retirement dream these boomers had and sink them into poverty because of the medical costs. Does the public know how hard it is to take care of a person with Alzheimer’s? How about the severely disabled children? Or people like my sister-in-law on dialysis? Do we just let them wither away and die? This is where the Dems need to take a stand and get out the word on this and this time the MSM needs to get the facts straight!!!! THEY SHOULD BE CALLED: THE REPUBLICAN DEATH PANELS!!!!! » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 4:40 pm KT, I believe the average, working person is just waking up to that fact. The Dems need to be more vocal and supportive of the average working person and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is just that person to lead the charge. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 4:16 pm Adlib, Medicaid is even a bigger stick to beat them with: Do you want to know how many will be thrown out of nursing homes once the money is up and sent to live with their children? Or the severely disabled, like my sister-in-law or children, the only thing keeping them alive or their parents out of poverty is Medicaid. 88% of Medicare is for the disabled and elderly in nursing homes. No Insurance company wants these people, they are too expensive to care for, not good for the bottom line. » Posted By BigDogMom On April 5, 2011 @ 4:07 pmComments Posted By BigDogMom
