Julianna Moore - Sarah Palin

I am conservative. I have strong beliefs.  It just hurts to read articles and comments from people, like Julianna Moore, who are beautiful, smart, successful and clearly, completely against me.  I feel the hate.  It is hard to watch a movie with an actress that would erase you completely if she could.  The comments she made about her role as Sarah Palin and divisiveness was what I expected it would be, but I accepted the teased bait for the article,  hoping it wouldn't be.  The comments from the public that followed were typically vitriolic.  Of course actors and actresses are entitled to opinions, but theirs carry more weight than the rest of ours.  It is offensive that someone like Meryl Streep will play Margaret Thatcher.  How can Ms. Thatcher be treated well by someone who openly admits to "being on the other side."  Julianna Moore has "no respect" for Sarah Palin, yet these women will benefit from the accomplishments of people they disrespect and no doubt will  perpetuate their dislike to others  in subtle ways they represent these women in these films. 

"The man with the microphone" has the power.  The entertainment industry has exerted incredible influence over the society we live in. I don't believe it has been all negative, but many God-haters and America-haters have held sway.  Our lives and nation  has been altered forever by their representations and opinions and spin on people and events.  Again Once More I am disappointed, but then, I am conservative, I have strong beliefs and I just can't see things the same way Ms. Moore and Ms. Streep do.  Unfortunately they will negatively portray women who I can admire.  I suppose the only positive in this is that I can still believe in spite of all this influence.  Yes, they have power and influence, but not all-power and they are not the only influence in this country/world.

I am still here, but the store is still gone!

I gave away alot, there is still a bank account so I can pay the most recent, but hopefully final bill.
We received the prop. tax bill for the store.  It came yesterday and coincidently a lady from assessors office came by for information.v I asked her for help with finalizing this account and with changing the addresses on several BRMS bills.  She was willing. 

I totaled up all the property tax bill and for once,  I have more money in savings than I needed for the tax bill, a first. 
I am trying to diet.  I took PlexiSlim with the Accelerator pill.  I am excelerated all right.  My mouth feels like I took a decongestant and I'm hot.  Yesterday it felt like current running down my arms.  I am a little more active, but the weight is not really coming off.  I tried weight watchers, but I don't like being limited!  Of course I need to be limited.

We're deleting the Again Once More Facebook...Ella Berry is relagated to Vada's spare bedroom. 

All that really matters is being with God in the end.  I really believe God's handling everything.
