Today is Buddy's birthday; he's 17 which is really old for a dog although Dachshunds are one of the longest-living breeds. I am so thankful for him every day, esp. since I didn't get him until he was already 8 years old and I really didn't think I'd have too much time with him; maybe 4-5 years, thinking he'd likely only live to be 12-13 but God has been merciful and blessed us with more years for which I am most grateful. He is honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life and the getting him is the best thing I ever did and the best decision I've ever made. No one has ever loved me or brought such joy, light,and happiness into my life like he does and God knew exactly what I needed when He sent him to me.I have had something like 13 or so dogs in my life but Buddy is my Heart Dog, that one extra-special once-in-a-lifetime dog that you bond with like no other; he is my soul mate and the best friend that I've ever had. My only regret is that I didn't have him sooner so I'd have him even longer to love. Yesterday I also got shit under my fingernail from wiping his ass but that's what love is.
Today is also Family Day and I wonder if the 23 YR old will spend it with her BF's family as whenever she has a BF she always spends Christmas with his family and whoever her BF is at the time his family always takes priority over her own family and she treats them more her family than her own, and I had a thought as well: since Orthodox Jewish men grown beards when married (like the Amish) I wonder then if Jesus(who had a beard) actually was married afterall but it was just never mentioned in the New Testament as it was just automatically assumed as Jewish men of His era and age would be, and asking me if I prefer David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar in Van Halen would be like asking me which one of my kids I like best, and going to university ruined the kids as well; it made them "worldly" and turned them away from God and made them "Woke" and now I can see why the Jehovah's Witnesses and Amish don't want their young people going to post-secondary education as they get corrupted by the world.
I also followed this popular blogger's fan page on Facebook until she posted this photo of her 14 YR old(I edited her face for privacy) wearing this slutty dress that belongs on a streetwalker and not on a teen girl and someone else posted that it was inappropriate and everyone ganged-up on her and attacked her(and the blogger said she was "parent-shaming" her,etc) so I defended the poster saying I agreed; and then they all attacked me, and I said the blogger was also a hypocrite,too, saying what a "good Christian" she is yet she doesn't raise her daughter to dress modestly and lets her go out looking like a hooker and no wonder the teen pregnancy rate is so high, sexualizing kids so young, but as long as her kids are popular( she's always bragging and showing off how many Homecoming dances(I guess it's some American highschool thing?) the girl gets asked to and how many friends she has, and no wonder looking like that, but not in the right way,etc.) and she keeps getting likes, followers, and clicks that's all that really matters, right? and she deleted my comments and I just unfollowed her.What a shallow attention-seeking bitch. She said me calling her out for letting her daughter look like a hooker was "tacky" too and I told her it's not tacky; it's just being truthful and sometimes the truth hurts.
The one thing my hubby also can't stand are drugs and he thinks I'm a "junkie" with my medical marijuana ( and I have a video-call tomorrow morning with the doctor to re-new my prescription,too) but one thing I can't stand are uncultured, ill-mannered rednecks,either(like him; drinking right out of the milk carton, eating with his hands, his phone at the table, throwing food at the table, horking in the sink, etc) so I guess that makes us "even" and I notice as well that sadly I don't even like hippos as much as I used to now,either; I still do like them but just not like before, not like when it was an interest that both the 19 YR old and I shared in common but since she no longer likes them OR me and no longer wants me in her life it's just not the same anymore.
My life taught me to survive. Decades of abuse and trauma made me strong. Strong enough to stand against the storm. To endure.-Melissa Stewart
