Examining the levels of mania in any environment require the examiner to fairly and reasonably evaluate the defining normal values of the environment and all the factors of the various participants. Failure to equitably balance the concepts can result in critical mistakes and disregard for the truth. In most cases, it requires a degree to make such a diagnosis. 

 As time progresses and life's challenges, news, and information are presented; the question of feedback, interactive exchanges, learning, and so much more are curiously being reviewed in my thoughts. 

Much lost content via "comments" discourages input due to the "block" being effectuated here on realneo. 

Regression with the "regime" winning by squelching the truth seekers is apparent. 

A State of Ohio government website link takes you for seeking help with the SAVE THE DREAM programs which lists all the counties in Ohio to the below link when you click "Cuyahoga County". So, I guess you have to be German to get help or something? Amazing government programs that frustrate, derail, and send people into a seek and find mission simply to get help.....Surreal.

Approximately 2 hours ago, my friend posted this on facebook...."about 20 minutes ago I heard gunshots out front, now the cops are all over the park looking for evidence becuasethey found the guy around the corner shot!!!! And people wonder why I want to move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Apparenty there has been another shooting in the vicinity of the Roberto Clemente Park on Seymour near Fulton Road.

Outstanding performance....Harry gives her heart to the people she represents.............. If only more attorneys knew the heart of this woman.......... I know she's acting...but I have faith there are more people out there with her charisma, passion, and amazing analysis of the "System" that has defiled many citizen's faith in the justice system.

Ward 14 is victimized again...According to Channel 19 news..."It happened Tuesday just before 6:30 p.m. Police were called to respond to the Caribe Bake Shop on Fulton Road for a robbery in progress. When they arrived they found the female victim with a gunshot wound to the head." Read the full story at the link below. 

 

So many times, I have opened this window to attempt to write a hearty blog recently and never gotten past the first thought....My heart seems so heavy and at a loss for words. Tragedy has hit below the belt this time and I simply cannot pretend that it's all okay. It's not. I see the headlines, but they don't process. I try to read some of the news, but it just drains me. I try to find the heart to fight the battles, but cannot find the gump. I try to find the motivation to react to the list of things to do...but find myself depleted before I begin.

Will you make a wooden bowl, wooden spoon, and special table for your parents when they need you as they age? 

The Grandfather's Table

Surviving countless losses, tragedy, and challenging life obstacles can teach you to appreciate your blessings far beyond words. Today, I sat with my father who shared a priceless childhood story...As tears rolled out of his eyes discussing family dynamics and experiences that "shaped his entire life" (as he put it)....he tried to keep the point humorous despite his sadness. I wanted to video tape his endearing story telling session, but didn't have the resources to do so, so I tried to jot down some notes for a hopeful, "next time" that he'd revisit such a story.

Coty is the young man on the Left with his brother, cousin, and teacher.

"Don't count the days, Make the days count!" That was one of our High School mottos along the line.

This is the United States of America....and yet our people tend to live in fear of retaliation in their homes and workplaces daily. Sadly, our society has dynamically been altered by the recent historical practices that were allowed to spiral out of control around our world. Sadly, the people of our world should not be forced to live in fear and be violated with abusive practices everywhere they go.....but it's a strong reality that is quietly survived daily by some of the most endearing people I know.

For years, searching the "Unclaimed Funds" of Ohio and around our world has been a pasttime that I enjoyed. It's like a little "Treasure Hunt" where you can actually find names of people you know and mail them their claim forms for money they are owed! I have found names of friends, family, and employers over the years.

So, the police are too busy to handle all their calls and overwhelmed to degrees of questionability.....What do we do as citizens? Is this a good or bad thing with a population decline, too many quotas of low income citizens that cannot afford to sustain all that traffic court business or is it just the "Blue Flu" saying haha to the people? From what I am hearing from several cops....it's getting ugly out here.... Pretty scary if you ask me.

It's not nice to abuse others....It's not nice to attempt to control others or to assault them with negative words. But sometimes, it is necessary to defend against an abusive person to protect one's own life. It's an ugly process...and it's difficult...but it can be endured and survived...Prayers to all the victims of abusers around the globe! May God Bless.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Check out the little piglet....so cute... so innocent! 

Delightful moments of parenthood have encompassed several enchanting trips to the zoo... it's a great precursor of the world a child must grow up in our town....the archaic, the lethargic, and the wild....the beautiful, the ugly, and the fun and games of life.

I am much amazed by the transitional phase of Tremont development over the last few years. For the last several decades...Tremont West Development Corporation was much obliged to suck behinds with the City Leadership to have millions of dollars in HUD FUNDING ALLOCATIONS STEERED into this very "needy" community. As a result; the low income citizens used as quotas to ascertain countless funds; were STEERED OUT of this community as it outgrew its britches! 

In a little town called Cadiz, Ohio is the birthplace of an American legend; Clark Gable. I was blessed to take my mother and my daughter's father's mother there for Mother's day several years ago. Hearing their delightful stories and seeing the glee and excitement in their eyes as we toured this simple attraction was priceless.

The original REALNEO article by Lily Miller about Occupy Cleveland is an excellent introduction to our local needs with the Occupy Cleveland activities. (I am reposting this because all the photos on the original post are consuming my computer during download...stopping thoughts from flowing...)

YMCA, YMCA, YMCA,....la, la, la....YMCA!!!!!YEH!!!!
