Readers,
I'm sure you all have a Face Book account but if you don't or haven't seen this video I thought you might like to have it for viewing as it seems to explain a subject and explain another subject we all should have the most disgust for along with a half dozen more!
Like I have explained before I was lucky to have parent's that although they weren't up on ADHD or ADD did go light on me in the punishment department for the most part!
Well I mean who wants to spend all day in their room for whatever thing they may have done that they were lucky they didn't get some bridle wreath or a belt for in the first place and a few things I might contest even now but I'm alive and have fond memories of my child hood for the most part except the time I stepped on that 16 penny nail and it came out the top of my shoe but that was my fault wouldn't you think?
People that purposely abuse their own children are low-life's and I've known a few and to be honest I have three grown children okay the one that's 18 is my ex-wife's baby but they all are too me in one way or another and I have my own particular situations with each that I wish I had handled differently in a much more quickly thinking way than action but that is life and I hope they forgive me if they thought it was the wrong action to take just like have any such thing in my background as a child which I won't even go to because there are so many or a small percentage of people that give no lee way in any situation other than what they consider what could, should or might have been done until they face a similar situation themselves!
As for the true abusers of the world they should be held accountable and will be here and in the next life!
As for charities with regards to young people I have one that I have wanted to donate too since right before Hurricane Ivan and when I get into a position financially I plan and will do just that!
Which one would that be?
The one that saved my best friend and his wife's son- God let me tread light here because saying someone saved another can be well I'm superstitious so forgive my hesitation but they all know who they are that is the people involved.
St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis is that organization I believe in with all my heart!
I had a plan that was supposed to be kept in confidence and retroactive to the beginning of 2004 whereas any home we completed would garner a donation to five organizations of our clients choice and it wasn't supposed to be advertised.
- St. Jude's Children's Hospital
- Habitat for humanity
- Penelope house
- Ronald McDonald House
- The Big Oak Ranch www.bigoak.org
The gift was to come out of our profit or loss regardless. Unfortunately Classic Southern Homes, LLC was devastated by the hurricane financially and was unable to even collect enough money to pay my sister-in-law her final pay check and it was her job to handle getting the list together for that commitment from the clients. We were not asking anyone for a donation we just wanted to know their preference if they had one!
I have a proof of a newspaper ad that shows that silent promotion of our whole companies values and I hope it never made it too print.
By the way it was an easy decision to help the Ronald Mcdonald house because when my youngest son to this point anyway- just kidding maybe Alex, okay?
Anyway, Alex you may remember had surgery in Atlanta at Piedmont Hospital on several occasions and their wasn't a Ronald McDonald house nearby.
Why mention it now?
Because I hope no one saw that dang advertisement for our homes and I know someone locally will see this and it buys me time to make a dollar before they come looking for me! Laughing. I am serious though thank you too my parents giving hearts and to Three Doors Down and especially my daughter Allison for bringing them to my attention when I was so busy I felt like an Earth-worm in a fire ant bed!
It certainly wasn't her fault- my sister-in-laws, nor well it was mine because I hadn't experienced a storm's after effects on a home building company to that point in my life- so one day that will be rectified in my life-time. I certainly didn't expect to go bankrupt over it before completing a recently made decision prior to the storm.
Yeah we all have unfinished business on this planet and the object is to get the list as short as possible before we leave and move on to the next life regardless of our beliefs or something like that! Even if we don't have a gun held to our to head to help us remember the list! Should I say "you know what I mean?"
God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge! Just don't spread that around right now because I need some time to raise some cash! the above stated that is about a debt to some organizations I'll either pick or call my old clients and ask them and the Bankruptcy court can sue me for paying off an old debt that I may not even owe on paper other than in my heart.
Do something yourself when you can for somebody as some one said yesterday it will make their life better and the part about how you feel doesn't really matter!
No offense intended.
Seriously keep that in mind when dealing with people under stress because they sometimes or most times have things on their mind that you would not believe unless it was brought to your attention and they can get depressed seriously over those things left unsaid!
The bottom-line is protect your children from people that would do them harm!
