My young men are delivering food to those in need

A anger rant I’m not posting this for their good boys teb. So none of that I’m just pissed scared worried. As I sit on back porch having a coffee and my pipe. This shit storm was coming regardless and as we all know. Unlike South Korea that acted we just got it’s a hoax from the ass and trash right wing.

Anyway so my friend sgt major retired army volunteers at local kitchen. And he reached out to me for help. They are down a van and two volunteers. So I work Monday- Friday third shift. So my boys stepped up to help seven days week they show up 06:00 to deliver three meals to those that cannot get out so dad will just use the Kia Forte to commute to work Tacoma is on detail .

Talking on phone my one son told me they have fifteen stops. He said the Tacoma bed is loaded. Here is what the beautiful people that the repigs who don’t give a shit about are eating today.

Breakfast- a container of oatmeal 2 hard boiled eggs and bagel with container of cream cheese or Pat of butter and 2 pints milk.



Lunch - bologna and processed cheese a bag of chips and apple bottled water.

Dinner- spaghetti just sauce no meat a roll a salad and two cookies.

My boys told me about this young woman at home two kids on their route. When I handed my debit card to them. To fill up Tacoma. I said you get the lady 2 gallons whole milk for her kids every other day or daily you ask her if her kid need. Then on phone this morning I told him. You ask her if she wants a turkey or ham potatoes. We have two deep freezers.

This shit sandwich just pisses me of it reminds me as kid. Regan cheese the mills and the mines we’re laying men off. And we really were ok at that time our mom still worked as a RN. The old man got unemployment.As we hunted ate deer meat and canned tomatoes and vegetables that mom put up.

Last night in bed my wife said she’s afraid to look at our portfolios. Me I’m a pension worker through union 8 more years maybe 10 will retire. After the boys established I told her don’t worry about it. I never look at portfolio she takes care of it. I said it’s bull and deck is stacked against us

Fuck the republicans

Be safe good health to you and those you love

when a big order of groceries arrived. These online delivery companies are great, but their employees are “out there” and are not wearing masks.

I’m going to sweat this out for the next two weeks.

family/sons and they appeared to have learned well from you. I got a post yesterday from a childhood friend, it was a video of a pulmonologist at Weil Cornell Medical in NYC. They only treat COVID 19 patients at this 1200 bed hospital right now. He said the number 1 route to get it is hand to face. Hand to face. Watch where you put your hands, wash or disinfect as needed. He stated masks are not that necessary as long as people are not coughing or sneezing on you, and they often remind you do not touch your face. Social distancing and limiting the number of people in your circle also helps reduce the chances of catching or passing it along. Pass this along to all and keep up the good fight.

Tell your missus I feel the same about the retirement account. It will come back.

Stay well and stay safe.

RW is killing us on purpose and now drumpf has a 500 billion slush fund to steal the election - we are well and truly fucked.

So glad you & your boys are pitching in and helping others, I love to hear stories of good people doing good things, there's so much darkness around in these greed and ignorance and hate driven times.

There's another new story line - at least new to me, We know someone who owns a restaurant that's been open for 12 years and he had to close this week. It's not economics, he just can't get the food he needs. It's a asian fusion restaurant and their biggest seller is sushi and he can't get the fish. The supply chain is not working right and it's going to get a lot worse I fear.

Fuck the repugs indeed!!!

Be safe and take care!

Defending warriors stepping up.

The ole sarges will be making cloth masks. Distribution centers have set up for drop offs and they'll be sent around the state to hospitals. They'll go to the support staff - admin, janitors, LPNs, etc. They can increase protection by 50%. As soon as the material shows from Amazon, fire up the sewing machines and crank 'em out. Oh yeah, there will be some for friends and the people on the front lines keeping things as normal as they can be.

You don't have to wear a uniform to serve.

Yes indeed: Fuck the republicans. There's a special place for them in the latrine detachment in hell.

Again, stay safe and virtual hugs for you, your family and. most of all, the boog and your rescued horse.

Help me to keep my faith in the human race.

You are setting a wonderful example for your boys.

Our government officials in charge can go F themselves.

Please stay well everyone at TEB’s house.

I’d get myself to wherever you call home and hug you and your wife for raising such good boys. Then I’d save a little loving for Boog and mama’s boy goldy.

I would shake those boys’ hands (they probably have enough middle age women hugging them with the aunties et al)

I’d make a quick sweep to say hello to the rescue animals animals you give shelter to, then I’d be on my way.
