I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

My PCP is an angel and she felt bad "because she wasn't there on Monday" when I got the call so she asked the nurses to clear an hour for me - that's the most time I've ever spent with a Dr. in a non-social setting.  She is going to follow me closely through all treatments with a once a month appointment and others if needed because every med I ever take raises my bp and that makes her nervous - me, I could care less - I just wanted to make sure I could get something to make me sleep at night - that's all I need - that and pain meds should the need arise - I am covered and in good spirits thanks to all my friends on here.

One tiny problem though (her name is Munchkin) bit a lady in the lobby this morning (no blood just little teeth holes in the pant leg) because lady in question owns a very nasty Jack Russell (that wears a closed muzzle) - lady didn't have Russell with her but Munchkin "knows" so she bit her - just what I needed to start my day - good thing lady and I are "dog owner" friends so it was laughed off however Miss Munch will be sporting her own very fashionable muzzle by the weekend!

Oh my Sandy ...sorry about Munchkin's episode!

Ok, then, straight to the Halloween House of Horrors you go!  And don't forget the grands. They wouldn't want to miss out on all the fun!

Never repent!!

Sandy....I'm so with you.  I have read next door, but it became so boring.  I guess it is too much a reminder of Mitty himself --- not much spark or feeling about anything, just the same somewhat dull expression that he tries to animate but doesn't always work well, or the bully comes out, along with the liar, or the fake Fox news and or polls.  I just have trouble in a non-changing environment I guess.  

So glad that you did get to have a quality one on one with your Dr.  We all want to be heard, and when we are -- even if it is about medical issues, it tends to calm the storms.  We start to feel we can exert some control.  I don't know you well yet, but every ounce of me wants you so much to do well.

She had one, anyway. He was an FBI agent. One wonders how he coped with the Adam's apple. I don't know if they are still together -- her voter fraud was in 2008, I think. Maybe 2004. It all blends together.

Athena, I disagree with you about Willard and religious influence. There is in Mormonism a believe in the White House Prophecy. Their take is there is a secret code embedded within the Constitution that when the US falls into a state of disrepair, a faithful Mormom will be called to leadership to right the country and bring it under the fold of  the Mormon Church. Willard has been groomed for this all his life. He and others, believe he is divinely called to the Presidency. Brigham Young's great granddaugther gave an interview about how she left the Mormon church and the White House Prophecy and why she is not voting for Willard. I read it on the Dailykos, but you can goole it, I'm sure it's all over the internet. I have several non-Mormon, liberal friends who live in Utah and have talk about the prophecy for years.

Thanks, Lassie!

Enjoyful - re the houses - I was referring to the TV show "Big Love" the main character had his other 2 wives living in the houses immediately adjacent to his main home - he was not openly a polygamist at the time. When he got elected to the state government he outed himself.

Lassie, thanks for that link.  I feel some concern over much of what is said and can easily see why Joseph Smith was shot and killed.  I also am able I think to see a little bit more about why Mitty feels such disdain for so many and is so often rude and obnoxious. He has the power of his God behind him which would 'trump' anything...........so you can be rude and obnoxious and lie up one side and down the other and just do about anything you want, riding rough-shod over anything and everything on your way to your millions. 

I would I believe, find the comments of many, many others very interesting if they were to read this piece.  Can't imagine anyone easily accepting a "church-run" Presidency.

I thought it was the "White Horse Prophecy", but I suppose "White House Prophecy" is more aptly named.  Whether the LDS church publicly acknowledges this Prophecy or not, I've been around this church some and I know that the most supreme hierarchy is in SLC, not D.C., and this has always bothered me.  In other words, if the hierarchy in SLC wants something, and Mitt is President, that will be his first allegience.

imho, I think Mitt's rudeness and obnoxiousness comes from his personal nature coupled with his CEO experience.  We remember he was somewhat of a bully in prep school and in life, never really had to struggle.  No doubt, his LDS experience feeds into his superiority complex, but I don't think that same experience would affect a more humble person that way.

Edited for this (and I'm sorry if this has been said, tried to find what Chickadee said about serving in a mission for the LDS, but couldn't find it:

Mitt Romney actually received a draft deferral from the church because he was considered a "minister of religion" during his two and a half-year mission. He received additional academic draft deferrals before and after that. During Vietnam, the government forced the Mormon church to choose one male every six months to be exempt from the deferral. Mitt managed to squeak out of that too by living in an area of the country with few Mormons. This ensured he'd get his exemption and not be up for the six month exemption. This helps explain a bit of his spoiled sense of entitlement, doesn't it? Mitt doesn't want to do something, Mitt doesn't have to. The Mormon church takes care of Mitt. And Mitt gladly rewards them with dollar bills.

Remember, this church dropped polygamy in order to become part of the United States...much like Romney has switched his views on abortion to try and become President.  It's about reaching a goal, more than a core value.

Thank you, Sunny.

Did anyone watch the Al Smith dinner comments? I thought Romney charming and inoffensive. If we saw more of charming Romney I wouldn't find him so repugnant.

I read Ann Romney's comments and didn't think she equated mission and military service. I think she said something like "people serve in different ways."



Did I misunderstand?
