Americans are nasty people! Jessica is beautiful and talented and………….she’s born under the star sign of CANCER! Hello!!!! These people are round, voluptuous, heavy-set, fat! Just like the moon, their weight and their moods change. Americans can be very stupid and ignorant. The minute I saw her, I thought she’s a typical Cancer! How come the rest of the people in this great country don’t know that?
My father, the late Dr. Bryan would have been 117 years old today. He was a paperboy at the time the Titanic sank, remembered the Hindenburg, and many other historical events. He was a walking library. I visited his grave a few weeks ago and said prayers for his rest and safe return. Everyone who remembers him tells me what a wonderful man he was. Yes, he was that, a kind, gentle soul. He loved sports particularly football. I remember as a little girl watching him listen to his old radio. I remember hearing Dizzy Dean say “high fly ball”! He also loved wrestling during his time: Billy and Bad Boy Hines, Fred Ward, and others. Every Xmas, we bought him a recliner from Raymond Rowe Furniture. He always hated it, but would eventually sit in the chair to watch his games. By the end of the year, he needed another chair because he had “wrestled” the bottom out of it. Every move, every hold, that chair would suffer from my father’s movements; all done while sitting and watching wrestling matches. I loved my dad because he was a fair man. He wanted his children to develop along their natural lines. So it was natural for me to become a professional singer. He hated Church. My father would sleep everytime he attended. My mother finally asked him not to come, but he was glad! His father was a minister, my mother’s father was a minister, and several uncles (on both sides) were ministers. Is that why he hated the Church? My father just thought the biggest hypocrites attended Church and he definitely was not a hypocrite. My father and Dr. Brewer were friends. I remember the drug store and the people that patronized it. I remember Charlie “King” grocery, Mr. & Mrs. Terry (grocery), Miss Wilhemina, Dorothy Lee, The Crescendo Restaurant, Mr. & Mrs. Joe, Mildred Terry (I also knew her as Mrs. Rivers), Mr. Terry and Barry Rivers, Rev. & Mrs. Hannan, The Haygoods, Rev. & Mrs. Rogers, Rev. Lang, Dr. Gallimore, Dr. E. Bryant, Dr. Reid, The Charlestons, Crawford and Jackson, Dr. Coffee, The Merriwethers, Sconiers, The Huffs, Sandy Allen, Mr. Sherald, etc. So many of his friends and he loved them all. So, here’s to a man that loved life. Happy Birthday, Daddy!
I heard very bad news the other day. There is a tent community in Columbus, Georgia behind Winn Dixie on S. Lumpkin Rd. Or shall I say, there was a tent community there. One of the homeless guys that lives there would do occasional work for me. I will call this guy “Girth”. Girth told me the Columbus Police came on Christmas Day with baseball bats, tore the tents down, put the homeless out, some were arrested. One officer in particular spoke very badly saying he doesn’t give a fuck about homelessness, get a job, etc. Does this officer know what kind of cause he made? I would love to see the re-action from his action. This officer made the cause for himself to become homeless in the next years, perhaps his children, etc. The way this economy is who knows who will be next? Valley Rescue Mission had no room for these guys and they were left once again on the street. This tent community was a place where the homeless felt a sense of belonging. How could the city do such a thing? We who have must provide for the ones that don’t have. We cannot take people into our homes, our shelters are full, please allow these tent communities to remain standing as long as there is no crime, filth, etc. No one knew this community was behind Winn Dixie, it could not be spotted from the road, and the residents never hassled customers. Now where did they go?
