Trump fires FBI Director Comey

Apprentice President Donald J Trump appears to be carrying on his role as "FIRER IN CHIEF" continuing to fire key persons in the US government namely now the Director of the FBI.
Director Comey, who was actually investigating Russian involvement in the 2016 election, is the latest victim of Trump's power grabbing tactics as he slashes away at any persons he considers a loyal Obama employee, regardless of their service in prior administrations. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, who Trump fired following her effort to make the White House aware that Trumps National Security officer Mike Flynn could have been compromised by the Russians, elicited little activity by the WH to secure Flynn from sensitive meetings until they became aware that the Washington Post was about to release an article on the issues surrounding possible collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign!
Minority leader Chuck Schumer calls for special prosecutors to continue what FBI investigation has started.
Jeffrey Toobin, CNN's senior legal analyst,  reminds us that in the history of the United States, the only other president to behave in this manner is President Richard Nixon.
Trumpers will have many excuses as to Trump's actions and why Trump included in his firing letter that he is NOT under investigation by the FBI, another obscure act by this bizarre man who has accidentally ended up in the Oval Office.
This man is not only the farthest image of a world leader ever to be seen, but a very dangerous man whose election has turned their rose garden and our global affairs upside down.
Those individuals who will be approached by Trump to take Comey's place should remember that Nixon cronies who were sucked into Nixon's web went to jail...Nixon did not.

What I miss about driving around!

My car radio has recently become possessed by demons....you might think I'm crazy but whenever I try to turn the radio on ( or sometimes just turning the car on works too) this high pitched squealing along with a sound similar to nails on a blackboard ( that made you squirm right? Cause it did me too : 0 ) starts to ring out and surround me. I turn it off... nothing ... still screeching ... I pull over the car and press every button on the dash and still nothing...I have to literally turn off the car and wait ( if you just restart it too soon the demons still have possession ) so when I saw the above video I just had to share it ...it's so much fun! https://youtu.be/ln3wAdRAim4

And I miss it just as much as Michelle does ( I have to admit here that I sang along too...did you? Admit it if you did!) and for more fun 

Teeny tiny video...

I've been thinking...dreaming and talking tiny for about a year now and while I was doing this research I found this wonderful true life video.  When you have a quiet moment (!) please watch this video.  I found it so moving and hope you will too.

All things tiny...

seem to be cute right? Well that seems to hold true to Tiny Houses as well, at least I think so.
Tinies come in all shapes, sizes and styles from a simple caravan to a mass of shipping containers, to a tiny cottage, or a house on wheels so that you're always home no matter where you roam!
They cost less to build , although luxury houses can cost more than my present small old house ( 134 yrs old ) . They cost less to maintain, allowing owners to do more of the things they love rather than being a slave to a mortgage, and they cause you to take stock of what's really important in your life without the focus being on acquiring more "stuff" and the effect that has on your time. I wish for a tiny house on wheels so that no matter where my family is (presently 5 hours away), I can up and move closer in order to be a part of their lives rather than a mere visitor. I miss my children and grandchildren, and that's a big driving ( no pun intended) force in my interest in going tiny. So have a peek at this movement that is sweeping North America ( most prevalent in Portland Oregon ) and think about whether or not you could live tiny...maybe even off grid!

You can build more houses but you can't make more land...

Which is the point of a new petition which made me aware that the government is talking about grabbing back the green belts for future development.
The problem is that at some point this drive to build bigger a bigger houses in bigger and bigger housing developments is going to crash and burn when the house you paid 1/2 a million dollars for is only worth $250,000, and the yard that house is on leaves only a shred of garden area for bees and birds and butterflies and squirrels and rabbits to live in and they start to vanish from our brick clad landscape!
What are we doing when we must drive 20 minutes to find a government funded piece of grass with a swing and a slide on it...as Cat Stevens so eloquently sang...Where do the children play?
I'm tired of the SUV ads that depict these gas guzzling vehicles climbing mountains and driving through streams when really they're all parked at the grocery store 15 minutes from their homes!
Why are there rules that say you CANT live in a house under 400 square feet...there's lots of people doing it and leaving a tiny footprint on our lands but the rules say NO! Why? Get involved
by putting our names to petitions that will help to save our greenbelts and wetlands...our nature
Wow, glad I got that off my chest and I apologize to all SUV owners...but it's true!

It's raining again! ...

All day my body has been screaming at me .... P...A...I...N...I know it's gonna rain! Matt kept telling me " it's sunny out its not raining" ....but now it's raining and everything hurts...EVERYTHING! Oh well typical fibro body stuff.  Otherwise I made some jewelry for my tiny house! I can't work so money is limited and making jewelry doesn't require too much physical labor although I can't sit for too long. So if I make enough and try to save I can pursue my tiny house dream...I did mention that I'm dreaming of building a tiny house on wheels and maybe by the time I can afford it they will have changed all those nasty rules that say you can't live in a house that's under 400 square feet...what a stupid rule!
Anyway speaking of tiny houses, here's a super video that I came across that is truly magical...lets see if I can figure out how to embed the video...hmm!
I did 

And now for something a bit more uplifting!?

WOW...that was a bad bad day in my last post but as you can see I'm still very much ALIVE! But had a few close calls in between...more heart attacks, more pain issues but now I'm just accustomed to taking each day as it comes...some good, some bad, but I'm not on a boat fleeing from a war torn country clinging to my starving children so I'm good right? I have to update my pic as my son is now 20 years old ( how the hell did that happen) and I'm still 29!!!NOT! Illness has aged me beyond my real years and those wrinkle creams don't seem to work on me! (I love the fact that all the ads use 20 yr. olds! )
Presently I'm stable on anti depressants but unstable on my feet! However I have a current fascination with going "tiny". Not my body, although there are quite a few parts I wish were tinier, but I mean tiny house living. If you haven't heard of this movement it started anew in 2011 when people began to realize they were slaves to there mortgages and possessions and decided to live a more simple existence...this is a BIG movement in Oregon especially and though it sounds romantic the realities are more impactful than dreamy. Keep posted for my dreamy plans.
