The Hitchhiker

 Mean it when you ask someone, “How are you? ”
I am not always apt to picking up hitchhikers, but on this occasion I thought of the conditions that an Old man named Lloyd was enduring. When I pulled over his mentioning his age of 89 brought forth questions as to how and why he was walking in the breezy cold snow. The winter had been very cold and icy; coming to find out that Lloyd had been without water in his trailer since, only later today. This was not the only time that I picked up Lloyd. At first, the idea of an man his age would walk the distance from the Siam community to the Local Wal- Mart  had, in Elizabethton,  to have been more than a 15  mile journey one way. Lloyd mention to me that part of this he hitchhikes and part of this he walks.
  Seeing him standing this last Friday once again prompted me to pull over and give him another ride home, but to me his stories became repetitive and very imaginary, speaking of President Lincoln on many occasions, coming to Siam and having supper with his folks. Plus, at once was amused by the same stories of his folks making the first record phonograph and having the first Television off the assembly line. These same stories, were repeating, and I knew of his aging; I had been a Caregiver to my own step- father before he passed away. I ask Lloyd if he had a car, and if it would it be ok if I gave him an old van that had been sitting in my driveway, and if it would be easier for him if he didn't have to hitchhike; I wasn't using the van so I thought, if he had a license, and if he transferred the title in his name, if he could make good use of the van. The look on his face seemed to shift from the repeating stories he was used to reciting, and it filled his thoughts full of joy. It seemed to brighten his day. His remark, "That is so nice of you" made me feel happy to help. Yet, my first concern was if Lloyd would be ABLE to drive, at his age, his repeating messages to me was his days going 150 miles an hour running moonshine, and working on some of the fastest cars in the world- it didn't surprise me. So I said you can come over and see it to see if you can drive it; which, Lloyd did come over to look at the van.  I would pay tons of money to see more gleam from his eyes as I did then. It did shift his attention, from the story of having weight in the White house, and knowing all the politicians enough to make em cringe.
   My wife wasn't so pleased to hear of this. My idea, which was not totally lame brained, was vetoed by the fact that this man may hurt himself in this vehicle,  regardless of his having credentials enough to race NASCAR since its inception perhaps, but I wanted to give the guy some weight to his story and believe that he could , in fact handle himself behind the wheel. “This can be the hardest issue that caregivers face as an older person develops conditions that make them unfit to drive. It is important to recognize how important driving is to many older people. It allows them to go where they want. It is also a symbol of independence. Caregivers need to be very clear about the specific problems that they have noticed. Caregivers can look to health care providers for help. Doctors and other health care providers can help find out if there is a mental or physical problem that limits driving abilities. “(By Germaine L. Odenheimer & Medicine, 2009) My conscience took over, once again; taking my friends and families advice, I wanted to tell Lloyd that he could go to the DMV and have everything checked and make sure that he could drive, then I could take him to the court house and get the tag and transfer title. But I needed that extra item, my friend KC to help me determine this. “If I had written the report, I would emphasize to family members that you’re the best judge of when the risk is unacceptable, and you can ask the doctor to use his or her authority to say so,” Dr. Kennedy said. “We’re the ones who should take the heat.” He has written letters to patients telling them to stop driving when his advice during office visits proved ineffective; he also keeps the online forms handy to send to the state division of motor vehicles if a letter doesn’t work.” (Solutions.”, 2011)
KC and I sat with Lloyd and the same stories came, of the Lincoln suppers; the putting away of the politicians; all that pull he has within Washington, DC. I wanted to see if he really WAS OK; I wanted to know how he was taking care of himself; I wanted him to ask me in, because of my friend mentioning to me of the smell of cat urine from his front porch. I never wanted to intrude into Lloyd's life, nor did I want to suspect that Lloyd REALLY needs HELP, and it was NOTHING that I could do. After more repeated stories, I had to cut this particular visit short. Lloyd did, while I was leaving, come back and waved me into his house; for what compelled him to do this, I didn't know.  I almost started crying to the conditions that I was met with, that Lloyd was living under. He was my neighbor, and he really DOES need professional help short of disturbing his routine. I weighed the idea with Lloyd of calling Social Services and Lloyd vehemently refuses Government treatment. I asked him to let me drive him to the doctor, and he repeats where it is, saying somewhere in Roan Mountain; but he doesn't get help from any outside county agencies. When I find out of the limits of Lloyd's conversations, he is a very articulate individual and has good communication of his needs. But after seeing the conditions that he lives under, I have doubts about his continued health under these circumstances. I have asked Lloyd, because of his concerns from the local DHS, and Hospitals, to let me take him, and stand by him. He continues to remark on his good health and his conditions as OK. I asked Lloyd today if I can bring some of my fellow students to come and help him get his place cleaned from the bugs, and piling dishes, that he can't wash because of his water pipe breaking. To me, if he had someone there, he may get irate if you tried to help him. But, I don't want to go against his wishes. “Is this a good Idea”, we thought as a family? The neighbors that I talked to was the only people that could help him, but after speaking to them, and Tommy, the householder,  mentioned that he had a Father in a Nursing home and the family’s time was divided with his care.  Gordon Sumner wrote in a song that says, "There are too many cameras, and not enough food."  I am not a professional Psychologist, and I have asked Lloyd, to even have my Instructor come for a visit. (She's a first person that I thought of that would know what to do) Lloyd’s reaction was to cuss me. I want to help you Lloyd. –Edited Revised
UPDATE: Tues, February 22:  I had to take someone to the emergency room today.  All GOV offices were closed yesterday. After I asked my Instructor some advice, I also talked to a student prior to making my decision. It seemed as if I was constantly being diverted from this mission, but I thought that while I was at the Hospital I would ask another Social Worker what she thought. She mentioned to me that DHS was not the proper agency to contact in this situation. Instead, the Adult Protective services would be the best method to go. “Adult Protective Services staff investigate reports of abuse, neglect (including self-neglect) or financial exploitation of adults who are unable to protect themselves due to a physical or mental limitation. APS staff assess the need for protective services and provide services to reduce the identified risk to the adult.”  (Services, 2011)The APS re-assured me that Lloyd situation would be evaluated within a 7 day period. I asked why he wouldn't be getting immediate help, and the social specialist, with the more than one- hour waiting time for them to answer the phone during hours of operation,  helped me to understand that, bureaucratic barriers still exist. But these are not in her words.
Update: MARCH 3, 2011. Within the seven day period I learned that they found Lloyd, and to my knowledge, he is probably cussing me, and eating hot food: “Three- Hot’s -And -A- Cot.”   He’s talking up some great (crazy) stories about Lincoln and how he came to supper leaving one of the first phonographs that came off the assembly line. Some of you that have picked up Lloyd have heard this before. APS is very good about not giving me any information; it wasn't that I was asking except to know that he is OK. APS: You can tell him where I am. Maybe we can find that gold your Pappy, and you were talking about. Plus, PLEASE GIVE HIM HIS PICTURES OF HIS DEAR WIFE SO HE CAN LOOK AT THEM AGAIN. THANK YOU GOD, THANK YOU JESUS, AND AMEN.
REALLY MEAN IT WHEN YOU ASK IF SOMEONE IS OK.

What is next? Funding for the MARINES, AIRFORCE, DEA, RACING TEAMS???

VETO ALL BILLS THE PENTAGON PASSES TO YOU MR. PRESIDENT


GUESS WHO GET'S THEIR FUNDING PEOPLE!!!


"About the only victory scored by Obama during the week came on a vote Wednesday to cancel $450 million for a costly alternative engine for the Pentagon's next-generation F-35 warplane. It was a top priority of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and passed with the votes of many GOP conservatives who opposed the $3 billion program, more than half of the 87 Republican freshmen elected last fall on promises to cut the budget.

Democrats overwhelmingly oppose the measure and Obama has threatened a veto if it reaches his desk, citing sweeping cuts that he says would endanger the economic recovery."
Cut the funding for all of PENTAGON'S ACTIVITIES. DIG REAL DEEP.

READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in ANY sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we OURSELVES are being comforted by God.....Now whether we are in tribulation, it is for YOUR comfort and salvation; or wether we are being comforted, it is for your comfort that operates to make you endure the same sufferings that we also suffer. And so our hope for you is unwavering, knowing as we do that, just as YOU are sharers of the sufferings, in the same way YOU will also share in the comfort" .- Bible

THE WORST MISTAKE EVER!!!!

"Regardless of the situation in Afghanistan, we've seen the Pentagon coming back to us asking for more troops, more resources, more time," Lee told reporters during a conference call on Thursday. "And I always said, 'If they say it's going well in Afghanistan, they want more resources, more troops, more time. If it's going poorly in Afghanistan, they come back and they say they want more troops, more resources, more time.'"


" That which has come to be, that is what will come to be; and that which has been done, that is what will be done, and so there is nothing new under the sun. Does anything exist of which one may say, " See this, it is new? It has already had existence for time indefinite, what has come into existence is from time prior to us. "- Bible



STOP ALL SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR EXISTING GOVERMENT CONTRACTORS!!


Stop spending the 200% mark-ups on toilet paper, and corned beef! Haliburton is charging you way too much. Have some of your PENTAGON GOONS go to Wal-mart to do the shopping. They can help Homeland Securty when they are picking up some Tampons for the Ladies room!

True now we are finding out the "Peace- Keeping strategies of the United Nation has done more for the Jewish Nation as a whole and has done hardly anything for the surrounding regions. Guess who has the money to commit their own BRAND of genocide?:

" Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the Prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her- how often I wanted to gather you togerther like a hen gathering her chicks together under her wings! But you did not want it! Look your house has been abandoned to you. You will by no means see me from henceforth untill YOU say, "blessed is he that comes in Yahweh name!""-Jesus


The GLORY of war and ALL of the consequences, are on the heads of those responsible. This is defiantly opposing the truth and the progress of equality when a man can look back and have no regrets of mass killings and meaningless cruelty. It is better to give to the Aged and Disabled their last comforts in LIFE, then it is to send our YOUTH as soldiers to their DEATHS !!!

"Nevertheless I ask, Isreal did not fail to hear, did they? First Moses says: I will incite you people to jealousy through that which is not a nation: I will incite you to violent anger through a stuipid nation. But Isaiah becomes very bold and says : I was found by those who were not seeking me , I am manifest to those who were not asking for me. But as respect Isreal he says, " All day long I have spread out my hands toward a people that is diobediant and talks back." - Bible


Now, in this day and time, the Military is a Progressive and Perverse form of Lasting Imperialism.
The rumors say that you have to make war to bring peace. Or, "in order to have Peace, we must prepare for War". Yet this is a lie, and must be considered the most DEADLY, mistaken statement ever made.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, AND YOU HAVE TO THINK OF SHUTTING HER DOWN....

ASK THE BANKS TO BAIL  US OUT

TVA WANTS TO OWN IT ALL

All is well with the TVA developing more ways to spend their HIGH EXECUTIVE /STOCK-HOLDERS SALARY. Oh, you said those people, anyone, even WE the People can purchase stock in the TVA? YES, only IF you HAVE the MONEY to BUY!!! OF COURSE, when the economy is on the down-spiral, The TVA announces extending their MONOPOLY to more ways of CONTROLLING your pockets-

"Data centers house computer systems and components, such as telecommunications and storage systems, used by Internet search engines and other high-tech industries. Criteria for selection of the sites include accessibility, strong telecommunications infrastructure and availability of reliable electric power."
“Recognizing these potential sites is an important part of TVA’s economic development strategy to recruit data centers to our region,”-TVA



TVA Achieves Historically Low Cost On 10-Year, $1.5 Billion Bond

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

We have forgot this one line. The line that tells us that things will be EQUAL in the job place. Although certain responsibilities create a cause to pay an employee more on their saleries, the working environment should remain the same. IS THIS NOT WHAT COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IS ABOUT? I go back to the days when the AFL-CIO was established; YES, the ELITE again were taking advantage of the working class. Is this a SIMULAR INCIDENT? How many of us don't like the IDEA of taking away these respected rights? (of course there are seedy pasts with the unions)  Do not discount the voices of the people saying IT DOES WORK. Instead, take the BUDGET FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD THAT YOU ARE READY TO HAVE MOVE IN THIER PLACE. PAY OUR PEOPLE MORE IF YOU ARE READY TO ASK,  SHOULD WE CUT? WE NO LONGER WANT TO PAY FOR BULLY'S, WAR, AND COVERT,  CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS IN COUNTRIES WE DON'T BELONG IN.[According to the CONSTITUTION this includes the U.S.A.(see spies in the US-facebook)] TAKE THAT MONEY AND GIVE IT BACK TO THE PEOPLE. STICK TO YOUR GUTS WISCONSIN- By the way if the Madison Scouts (et al) were a part of the protest .... WOW! What a way to blow your BUGAL!


ALSO: Help me verify that in 2003 the GPI index for the minimum wage earners was to be paid at $10.77
What is the minimum salary now, again? What year are we in? What are Small Businesses, that I do wish better profitability for, tied to?


Some parts of the Labor Bargaining rights MUST still exist against greedy corporate management. Look How Small Business are tied to the GPI , and so is the Minimum wage. In 2003 the index was supposed to be paying $10.77 in 2003; there was no one bargaining for those people that were affected by are a hire and fire revoling door of Profit for the corporations. THERE IS NO INCENTIVE TO GO TO WORK NOW. WHY IS MY INSURANCE BILLS HIGHER THAN MY FOOD BILLS? There are also teachers that REALLY care about their students enough to BUY them supplies so they can advance with other students that have the means. How are you going to pay THAT back?



UPDATE: FEB. 23, 2011

WHO DOES WALKER WORK FOR, WISCONSON?



 FEB. 25, 2011 UPDATE: THE GOP WILL DO AS THEY PLEASE; THE PEOPLE DO NOT MATTER.



THE GOP'S PLAN OF ATTACK


UDATE: FEB. 26, 2011 . GOP LIES EXPOSED-THEY EAT THEIR OWN

"Johnston goes on to point out that Governor Walker has gotten away with this false narrative because journalists have failed to look closely at how employee pension plans work and have simply accepted the Governor’s word for it. Because of this, those who wish the unions ill have been able to seize on that narrative to score points by running ads and spreading the word that state employees pay next to nothing for their pensions and that it is all a big taxpayer give-away"




UDATE: FEB. 27, 2011. DO YOU BUY ANYTHING THE GOP SAYS NOW?

I am very glad to hear that there has been some respect between the Police, and the rest of the protestors, who also will be affected by this outlandish GOP proposal. People on this very NIGHT are dressed in TUXES AND BOW TIES laughing and drinking their wine, remarking at the dilema. Are they with your families day and night , scrubbing the floors or cooking for a family of 8? Are they waiting to see if  THEIR PAYCHECKS will come in and look at them and wonder why it is that you GO TO WORK IN THE MORNINGS OR EVENINGS? PAY THE "PEOPLE" THEIR ATTENTIONS AND RESPECT.


AND "WE THE PEOPLE" THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO DO GOOD



"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in ANY sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we OURSELVES are being comforted by God.....Now whether we are in tribulation, it is for YOUR comfort and salvation; or wether we are being comforted, it is for your comfort that operates to make you endure the same sufferings that we also suffer.

Some Moments To Reflect On


A trip to Costa Rica with Woody Harleson would have been a bad Idea for me, If the opportunity exisited. Another bad move for me would be hanging out with Rob Lowe and his teeny friends, or Marv the sports newscaster.I think that a bad place to take Lady GaGa in her meat dress would be to a Pre- Trial Michael Vicks house.
I also think a REAL bad place to eat would have been Sparks Resturant East 46th Street, NY. December 16, 1985 around 7:00 ...ish.

  • Class envy is a pejorative term sometimes used to describe criticisms of the rich and powerful by the poor and less powerful.
    Criticism of excessive wealth and the wealthy has been a staple of political discourse for generations and many believe that societal imbalances in wealth should be reduced or done away with. A common rebuttal to these arguments is that the antagonism that the poor feel towards the wealthy is not based upon any repression or unfairness, but rather upon envy. This argument states that the poorer members of society attack the rich and their privileges because they are envious of the wealth and success the upper classes enjoy.

It stands to reason if you have bad feelings about HOW much and HOW you earn a living, you might consider these strong words as valid and perpetual.

  • I have no bad feelings for HOW much or HOW anyone earns a living as long as it's legal. They can earn all the money they want and they can do nothing with it but dance on it if they so choose.

    It's called capitalism. You are free to earn, earn, earn. If you choose to GIVE it to charity, fine; but you don't HAVE to. And it certainly isn't up to the government to make those choices for you. The government doesn't create wealth, WE do.

    "Class envy is a pejorative term sometimes used to describe criticisms of the rich and powerful by the poor and less powerful.
    Criticism of excessive wealth and the wealthy has been a staple of political discourse for generations and many believe that societal imbalances in wealth should be reduced or done away with."

    In the Christian world there are things called the seven deadly sins. They are called this because by Christian belief they kill ones relationship not only with God but with ones fellow man. Envy is one of those seven deadly sins for a reason.....
