Complaining....no one sees what I see.

I was thinking....I do that quite a bit .....but anyway, I was thinking about people and how they communicate and what is becoming of everyone. I have a son 15, all he has ever wanted was a cell phone...."he has his own phone in his bedroom...with his own phone number separate from mine"!!! but, he still wants a cell phone!! I think to myself, Why? When we were younger we had to talk to our friends on a wall phone with a 10 mile long cord (which was stretched to the max), hiding in the bathroom hoping no one could hear what we were talking about....(the hottest boy in school, knowing we would never have a chance "go out" with him). do you know what kids are talking about these days? and what they are doing....whew! if only these parents knew. My son tells me everything.... yes. Everything! I'm not old but I'm beginning to feel that way, because I just don't get the TEXTING thing!!!! Its all about texting these days. These parents (I am one of them) buy their children these cell phones with cameras and who knows what kind of pictures these kids are sharing, and Internet and music ....access to ANYTHING! I just don't get it, People wonder why these kids are growing up too fast and turning on their parents and killing people.....They have no guidance or discipline. And just how many parents go through their kids phones while they are asleep or check their My Space...hmmm Don't know what they are doing huh? What are their friends like? do you even know them? WHAT COLOR IS YOUR KIDS EYES?? I bet some parents don't even know because their kids are always walking around with their head down texting... missing out on whats going on in the world. No conversation...no communication what so ever unless its with their thumbs!! It just makes me sick. I am frustrated with this because I bought my son a cell phone.....i know!... now, all day long he's got that stupid phone in his hands TEXTING....for what? Pick up the land line phone for goodness sake and call someone!!!...I do have a cell phone...but I don't use it...I don't have a plan and I won't buy minutes or a Sim card...I'm not being tracked down everywhere i go (calls 911 in case of emergency). Everybody I know has one...don't people know that all of their texts are being recorded??? Delete doesn't completely Delete those texts people! My opinion....sit back and look at whats going on!! in the past 10 years all of this technology is booming....and it is very CHEAP, EASY TO GET, and you can communicate to ANYONE, ANYWHERE, at ANYTIME. WHY???? Are we being treated like kids...being distracted for some reason? blindfolding us with cheap cool electronics so someone can do wrong....It will be too late when we finally wake up and realize what is happening. Read the news... or watch it. It all makes sense but no one listening. It don't stop with technology either, Pills....How many people are on pills these days?? for what? Does everyone have a hurt back?? Does everyone need pain pills? or Disability? It is soooo easy to get drugs these days and the Welfare will pay for it...ha ha..that is crazy!!!! no.. what is crazy, there is pills to get you off of pills!!! ha ha ha ha...now that's crazy!! What has happened to this country? no ... its not the country...its the people in it. And who let it get this far? My daughter is 5 years old, It kills me to think that in the next 13 years she will have to either, be one of them (drug head on disability) or she is going to have to really work her butt off in life, just to get the things she NEEDS!!! she won't even be able to enjoy life. That is sad. There is more to life people than a just a device in your hand, a pill to snort, a TV program to watch, or what this one said about that one. Well I think I'm done "Complaining" for now...tune in for next weeks complaint session..ha ha. I wonder what that will be....

Interesting points, and I as a young 'un myself I do think you say some valid stuff. However, it would seem your son is a smart kid and chances are with you as a mother your daughter will be too. You just got stay open with them, let 'em know they can tell you anything

p.s. Thanks for following/all the nice comments

The power of prayer

 We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire.  God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks t...

Everyone wants to be rich...Just another complaint session..ha ha

I was watching  " How'd you get so rich" and it got me thinking....ha ha..here I go again thinking.  I really don't think I would want to be rich...yeah maybe have a little extra money to play with, but to be a millionaire or billionaire...no!!  In order to be rich you would have to take money from someone else, like people  who are hard working, living paycheck to paycheck, or people paying for something they will never really own. The Lottery for instance...some people spend several dollars a week on the lottery in hopes to be rich, or just a few dollars richer...they (lottery) are making a killing off of that few dollars a week...The same goes for these gambling places...People spend their whole paychecks on a machine!!! They are not stupid!!...you can't get rich from those machines...but I'll guarantee that they are getting rich from your hard earned money!!! The $100-$200 pair of jeans...come on people don't tell me you spend that on jeans?? ...

I Miss Me!

 It's been almost 6 years since I last wrote about anything.  So much has happened since then.  I love to write, not saying I'm a novelist, (one of my unrealistic goals), but to me, it's the same has having a conversation. I love to talk... about life, dreams, the unknown, how life works and why things happen or exist.  I really enjoy figuring out complex behaviors or solutions to ailments.  Long story short...I think I just enjoy learning and understanding.  Somewhere in the past, I left myself behind.  Who am I now? where did the old me go? why did I change? I would describe my inner self as caring, funny, creative, artist, crafty, fun, talkative, loved to dance, write, talk to anyone kind of woman.  (... that word alone makes me feel old...but 'girl' is too young and "lady" is too proper to describe me lol...Ugg) anyway... I was that person, not so much anymore. I tend to shy away from being outgoing to more reserved or "shadowed" is a better ...
