Me? In a ONSIE? Who knew...Those Two

        After a few hectic days I was invited to go to my daughters' and her boyfriends' home for Thanksgiving and stay over. Just going down there, the ride and the peace was wonderful but arriving, that was a whole new world. The welcomed feeling made me feel right at home. Wafting from the kitchen were smells of turkey, homemade stuffing and those strings beans, wow. Oh, don't let me forget the mashed potatoes ! I ate too much but not enough. I'm sure you understand that. A feeling of being satisfied hit me well before we sat down to eat. It was the atmosphere, the family, joking all around, talking about things you know only can be kept with family, a glass of wine and a dog. A very special dog name Virgil. He's an English Bulldog who is so lovable that I wouldn't care what I was wearing. I just enjoyed him, that face, the love he offers.
            Thanksgiving over all too soon, I knew another bite would not pass between my lips, but then my daughter brought in some mini cannoli's but made in tiny, tiny  pie shells like a with chocolate chips on top. Delicious, scrumptious! I wanted to savor and honestly took my time to taste and not just slide down my throat. The three of us sat down to relax watching a marathon of Blue Bloods. Soon after her boyfriend leaves, comes back downstairs with a onsie on, a star wars theme,or batman? It had a cape on it. This guys is not just smart and funny, but sweet and always himself. Then my daughter says, oh yeah mom, I have one for you too. Wrinkling my brow I think she has to be kidding! I know she would not mind a one piece anything to fit me. Oh Lord-she did. So there she was in her Princess Leia Onsie and mine was a Koala Bear, gray and white. Into the tiny bathroom, not meant for changing, I slipped jeans off and a onsie on. I bust out laughing before I even had it near me.
      Edging it on, up, buttoning buttons and putting the hood/hat on with ears attached, it fit !!! Oh CRAP! They weren't kidding and to top it off, I really had fun with it and didn't mind a few pictures even feeling comfortable. I have never liked picture taking, even as a kid. We sat down all three, relaxed in our onsie's. Oh it was so warm and comfy. I had a great time ! Great family, atmosphere and Virgil cuddling up at times. Couldn't have been better:) Thank you J&D...I love you both.

Staten Island MALL-No Christmas-SHOP Elsewhere

       The Staten Island Mall has removed Christmas, but says your children can get pictures take at Penny's, the lower level, out of sight! Screw that! No parade no inside tree, No Mention of CHRISTMAS? WHO owns the MALL anyway, the SYRIAN Government?
    There are many shops in Staten Island who love CHRISTMAS ! Private CRAFT makers welcome your AMERICAN money. Go to Nursing homes and see what these toy, wood workers make ! Get friends and family and more friends-MAKE your own Parade! Of course we also know, shop on line, saves stress, gas, waiting, driving and gives you more time with those who love you and you love back.
    So put on some tea, set up the shopping list next to your computer and go. Make sure you have hot chocolate and marshmallows for the kids.
     If you don't celebrate Christmas and you're Jewish, support your Christian neighbors. WE need to support our neighbors and friends, our family and those we don't know enough about, but who we need to know more about. Talk to your neighbors, bu hey You're NEW YORK, you know what to do. Wish I was back.

U.S. Copies FRANCE & TRUMP

       Why did it take the massacres in Paris to have out politicians suddenly talk gutsy? NOW Donald Trump doesn't sound so much like a big mouth. After OBAMA said ISIS is Contained, we know as we always did, except OBAMA of course that they are far from Contained. They are mad males who call themselves men and females don't forget. These people disguise themselves in burka's ! Not all, I know, but how do wee as REAL honest and good people, citizens know who is behind the mask of a religious disguise, a burka? Men can stand under the burka, disguised as women they don't have any use for.

   So now we have THE United States Politicians talking tough! Why Now. All the talk from the candidates saying Trump is a big Mouth. He should be, someone should be. I have a  family member who told me, that's all we need,  some crazy guy in the white house-well to me, better than, much better than and a real man for AMERICA, not hiding behind his religion protecting those who bring harm to citizens. Go Fuck yourselves you phony Politicians!

Donald Trump is ROCKY

      I know, blah, blah blah. But I don't care. Personally I am sick of seeing men and women who debate as if they are working in an office. They shouldn't have to be pushed over the edge to show passion for AMERICA. Donald Trump brought that and he didn't need a push !
     I may be too old now to benefit from a new GREAT President, but our children and grandchildren and great grand children are not. People who don't like Trump call him a loose cannon. Are they nuts? Do they really think he'll just blow up countries without thinking? You forget, he has children and has a very young son too.
           He has as much love for his family as the rest of us do and that's why he won't be  a loose cannon, but he will be on fire to make change and make change happen is less that four years. I won't even get into this president except to say, if you are black, don't worry about claiming him-he is bi-racial. So if Ben gets in then you have someone to be proud of, really proud.
     We have many people in America who would be better than the majority of candidates present, but not many want that job. So let's give credit to those who are running-except Hillary. She's a crook, liar and was involved in land deals resulting in the death of a man named Foster, look it up. Did she or Billy boy take care of his family? Enough said.

       Donald Trump will be the first President to resemble ROCKY and who ever didn't like that movie-Move to Russia, China or Japan.

Christie, Trump, Fireballs

           America who are you looking for in a new, Thank God, New President. Like most politicians they tell us what they think we want to hear. Two are not politicians as we know it and that's Trump and Carson. I can't give specifics as I don't have that kind of mind that absorbs everything political.
        I do know, I don't want Hillary. She is a liar. Look at the most recent Benghazi but her horrible history goes way back with Billy boy and please look at their land deals and their so called friend who was killed, Mr. Foster, not suicide. They only  look out for number one and that's where it ends.

      Let's look a little at Trump. He doesn't have to be involved at all. Financially he can do anything so why put himself out there to be ridiculed? Because he has faith in himself and true Americans that we can be great again.  Everyone brings up immigration because they want the Latino and black vote, yet we have Trump who tells us he will stop ILLEGAL immigration. ILLEGAL people. ILLEGALS who are taking away our jobs, education, social security, taxes which they all get. That's fair?
          But it isn't that simple. He knows it to. Trump needs people in his cabinet that will help him change the country. I think his ego is a huge part of this, but maybe that's good. He has something to prove.
    Now Christie-I would love to see him debate Hillary. He was a prosecutor and he knows her history and he knows what she is, yes I said what she is. I think these two men are the top choices.They have fight. They want to roll their sleeves up, literally and work !

    People take this year, examine these runners, listen and listen more. Vote with you brain. Don't vote the women vote, Latino vote one way or another, black vote one way or another Asian vote one way or another or any vote that has to do with race, culture or religion.
Vote this:

  •    Jobs-keep them in America-Fine those who take them out of America
  •    Health care-you should not be fined because you can't afford it or have to go on welfare-what kind of choice is that?
  •    Education
  •    Social security
  •    Housing
  •    Tax reform
  •    Illegal Immigration

Best Western 40% off over 62? AARP, go after them in Brooklyn

       Today I called Best Western and asked for a reservation for this Saturday, the 7th of November at the discount, and was told, no rooms available. I needed two beds. I told Josh who I spoke with that my screen shows two beds available. He let me know he could only give the rate available, that they only hold a certain amount of rooms for the 40% senior discount.
    So I then went to December, the 28th-now he says, I can give you 20% off, not the 40%. Why? They don't have it at this hotel, not what he told me the first time. Then he said again, they only keep a certain amount of rooms for that discount so none available. He did say he could give me that discount at another (less desirable location ) my words, not his. I know the area.
   Then I went to Feb, my birthday and now he says I can give that to you for 155. and change plus tax-PRE_PAID ! What BULL sh-- is that ??? Come on AARP, get on them, This is unfair business practices.
