Do I miss Alaska?

I've lived in Boise, Idaho a little over a year now and sometimes I do miss Alaska. But then I remember the hard, cold winters and some of the neighbors I had who had drug and alcohol problems. I remember how I was treated by some of the people in Alaska such as men trying to run me down or splashing me with mud in Anchorage. Or being cussed out one day because I didn't see my blind spot and a man swore at me for the entire time until the light turned green. I do not miss the disrespect as a single woman in Alaska! But in the world I've noticed single women aren't treated as well as married women. I don't think "kept" women have a clue what the "real" world really is like; never have faced things on their own like I have. Haven't known what it's like to wait for a bus in -40 degree weather, or not having a car start when it's 20 below. Or the patronizing of married women towards single woman. When I left Alaska a woman had all my beautiful material and I couldn't believe the things she said to me. Told me she'd never had to be a "charity" case like I had and went on and on. I look on the RS blog they have in Wasilla and all I can think is--"These women are a bunch of two-faced hypocrites." I've gotten on my niece's blog and she was going on and on about family members she couldn't stand. Okay, that is really being christian's right? I'll be the first to admit I've had my fair share of mistakes in my life. Going to Alaska and believing in some man and suffering the consequences. Making the mistake of returning home when I should have just stayed away. Coming to Boise and not knowing anyone and not realizing just how "hot" it gets here in the summertime! Not sure what is worse you know? The long cold winters in Alaska or the 109 temperatures here in Boise! It's a toss up you know? I do miss the Moose though in Alaska! I miss the Forgetmenot's & the aurora borealis and sometimes, just sometimes I miss the midnight sun. If I could have found a dream home in the mountains, I probably would have stayed on in Alaska and made it my home.

Fat women in America

I know being overweight or obese is unhealthy for us. I've been overweight for sometime now but not nearly as heavy as these poor ladies. I think being overweight is more of an "emotional" issue rather than just genetics or poor eating habits or not enough exercise. When I was in high school I was always told I was too fat and I weighed appromately 140-150 pounds and at almost 5 feet 7 inches tall that wasn't fat at all. I think the abuse of family members and my ex-husband and boyfriends caused me to gain weight more than anything. When you are beaten with a belt by a brother it causes emotional issues. When your sister screams at you all night long she hopes you become a prostitute when you are just 19 it causes emotional issues. Or when you are married and your husband constantly puts you down and calls you an educated idiot, that you can't do anything right causes emotional issues. I know this is why I've gained my weight. But again I'm on ano...

Alaska Men's Magazine

I lived in Alaska 14 years and never saw guys that were this cute up there!  But I did find a bunch of them who would try and run me over when waiting for a bus in Anchorage, and splash me with mud on purpose.  I dated one who left me at a Mexican restaurant one time after having a severe acid reflux attack and called me a bunch of names because I had "embarrassed him."  One time I was waiting for a bus in Anchorage and a guy went by and said --"Why don't you get a job barfly?"  Amazing to me is that I was working two jobs at the time and have never drank a day in my life.  When I lived in Wasilla I had one man follow me home and accuse me of drinking and driving!  Maybe because I wasn't skinny enough for these men and wasn't blonde and blue eyed who knows?  There is alot of alcoholism, wife abuse, and drunks in Alaska.  I don't think the Alaska Men's Magazine mentions that however.

More and more homeless families and children in America yet President Trumps cuts foodstamps

I guess homeless families, and children, and growing poverty in America doesn't concern a billionaire president who just recently cut foodstamps for America's poor. One out of five children in America today are homeless and hungry yet the richest president in America's history has cut foodstamps more than 1/2 for the nation's poor. And most of them are children. Funny how our government can build new missles, new ships, build a Berlin wall, and help the refugees all across America and yet allow America's most vunerable to go hungy. Shame on you Donald Trump, shame on you!
