Another day, another story and this is our history. Make it a worthwhile one. Enjoy your day and be safe.

On Monday, November 25, 2019 a female student at Kingsborough College, Brooklyn, NY was about to use the bathroom when she felt someone behind her. A man pushed her into one of the stalls and tried to sexually assault her. She manages to get away. Kingsborough College did not inform their students about this incident. I am re-posting Sarah’s Kingsborough College bathroom story. When Sarah was leaving school on September 21, 2018, she phoned me saying, “Mom I am shaking.” I asked her what happened and she said that when her class was over, she went to use the bathroom. There were three young women in there. They left quickly and someone turned off the light. The bathroom got pitched black. She exclaimed and put on the flashlight on her phone. Wondering if anyone was still there. She got herself together and slowly walked out, shining the light around. Thank God for her cell phone. College life is not easy some people are going to hate you and you have to be ready for their attacks.

Thanks be to God we are seeing another day. I hope today is a better day for you. Enjoy and be safe.

It’s turkey week so my turkey, is soaking in water with 2 cups of lime juice, 1 cup of vinegar and I cup of salt for 4 hours. After soaking I am going to clean it then season it with blended, ginger, garlic, onion scallions, cilantro and salt, put it into the baking dish, leave in the refrigerator to marinate. Wednesday night I am going to stuff the turkey then put into the oven to bake.

A wonderful safe Sunday to you and your family. Remember to follow your intuition. Do not let the naysayer’s opinion stop you from achieving.

Life is good, we are seeing another day. Thanks be to God. Enjoy your day and be safe.

One thing that amazes me is hearing lies flow from an adult’s mouth. Today lying seems to be the acceptable thing. Many men in prominent positions tell lies and the women who are in their midst show how much they agree with a liar. Judgement day is coming. There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Proverbs 6:16-19.

 

Free; Without cost or payment, but many officials don’t know the meaning of; ‘FREE’! They say that college is free in New York. The funds are sent by NY State to the college to pay for your class course, but no funds to buy books etc. After the course is paid, the balance remaining goes to the student. In most cases the funds are not enough to pay for the class course and the student ends up with a bill. So have money to help pay for your college course and to buy your books.

The easiest word to say yet the heaviest word is, ‘Sorry’ because the meaning is profound, but in most cases, it is not said with sincerity. It is mostly said for gain. They say sorry because they want something. Mayor Bloomberg said that he is sorry to Blacks and Latino because of his legacy of, ‘Stop-and-Fisk’. Thousand of Black men and Latino men were stopped by the police for no reason. 99.9% of the time no illegal items were found on them or any of them were perpetrators of a crime. The first time Paul was stopped and frisked, he was on his way to school. He was 15 years and then on two other occasions, 16 and 18. I believe Stop-and-Frisk is meant to belittle Black and Latino men. Like I said before; most people say they are sorry because they want something.

A wonderful safe Sunday to you and your family. Remember to listen more and speak less.

Seamless is shameless. Yesterday Paul decided that he was going to order food from Boston Market. Although there was food in the fridge, we all decided to have something different. He placed his order through Seamless and 45 minutes later we got a phone call from a number in Chicago, Illinois. The moment I answered, the person hung up. A few minutes later when I checked the order status on the computer it said, ‘Delivered’. I called Boston Market who contacted Seamless and they said that the delivery guy rang my door bell, he also called but we did not answer so he left. This guy was dishonest, but I hope the food went to someone who needed it. Seamless said that they will give Paul 50% off his next order. They must be crazy. Last night was the first and last time we will use Seamless delivery.

Some people are provocative. Just freaking confrontational. Sometimes the only thing that stops them is a, ‘fuck that blow’. That is the blow that the victim attacks the bully with. After being bullied over and over again the victim decides to defend him/herself and they strike with all their might. It’s like they say to them self, “I know you can beat me, but Fuck that, I am going to defend myself. A fuck that blow can be deadly. Parents talk to your children about bullying. Stop them before you lose them. It’s about time the bullying stop!

Paul and Sarah call me ‘Old fashion’. I am not upset about that because I know that there are some things I do not agree with and I am not going to do. As the old Trinbago folks used to say, “Yuh better kno’ yuh place.” They meant that you should have respect and I am respectful. Paul and Sarah think at times I go overboard. They are young and some of the things that they find are funny or not a big thing I find them just wrong so they insist I need to lighten up. But at 59, I am set in my ways and blessed.

Asthma is one of the worst illnesses anyone can have. It is scary to see how difficult it is for someone to breath while they are having an asthma attack. The sad part is that an asthma attack can kill. Paul and Sarah both had asthma. I wanted to know what was the cause so I paid attention to what they ate and I cut out the foods that triggered it. I made sure they did not walk bare footed, when they showered, they dressed in the bathroom. During the winter when they go outside, their scarf covered their nose and, in the summer, when the humidity was high, going out was limited. Parents, caregivers etc, need to pay attention to their loved one to see what causes the attack. May the LORD bless you more and more, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the LORD who made heaven and earth! Ps.115:14-15.

May the LORD bless you more and more, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the LORD who made heaven and earth! Ps.115:14-15.

Yesterday I took a day off from the internet even the news. I was tired of hearing and reading about the massacre of the family who were on their way to a wedding in Mexico, about the number of planes that crashed into buildings this week, the fire that is burning down California, the man who acts as though he is a God etc. I had enough!

Happy Wednesday to you and your family, I have been hearing that CBD Oil is a good pain reliever. As we age aches and pains are the main things that distresses our bodies. Paul sent me some info so I am sharing it.

To many people are being battered so I have to say this again. I have no sympathy for a man or a woman who beats their wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend… significant other. One day as you raise your hand to beat him or her it will stay up. Lots of men and women would be walking around with their hand in the air.

I got a phone call from a man. He said he would like me to do a survey and he would pay me $10 for answering 6 questions. I started to laugh at his thinking that I would be excited to get $10. He continued speaking, but I hung up the phone. To send me that $10 dollars he would want my personal information.

A wonderful safe Sunday to you and your family. Remember your pastor, priest is not a God. Stop making your children see them as their godsend.

The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday. Family and friends get together to pray and remember their friends and family who died. It is also done to help support their spiritual journey. I pray that all my relatives and friends are resting in peace.

All saints and all souls: I pray for the souls of my parents, brother Reynold, sisters Maureen and Brenda, my nephew Stuart, friend Ali, all my other relatives and friends who went on to the other world. Rest in Peace.

I believe the fires are biblical and God is in charge. California is being reduce to shreds. The news talks about the homes that are being destroyed, but I did not hear them mentioned anything about schools or churches. I guess all schools and churches are still intact. My prayers go out to the people, the animals and the land. Dear God of I pray for deliverance for California
