As far as the topic of this thread, giving trophies to all doesn’t help anyone. Example, Obama got a Nobel peace trophy before he did anything, and never did anything as far as peace. Another example is my hub told me last night that on his Marine forum they were talking about the gauntlet, and how the old timers said how bad they hurt the next day. The newcomers to the Marines were arguing that the gauntlet was abuse, and glad it didn’t exist, anymore. There you have our new world of namby pambies, hypocrites, and cry babies; even in the Marines. Sheesh! I am not bashing the Marines, but times have, certainly, changed.
Do I get a trophy for having two difficult pregnancies, and two c-sections because I am so petite, (being cut open is not fun; just sayin); and then raising them by myself because I picked the wrong husband? I was blessed to have my Marine hub come into my life at the right moment to step up as the step dad. No need for a trophy. All are humble in my house. Just trying to keep on keepin’ on. But, have to say my hub is my hero, forever!
And, we are both sad to witness what is happening to our beloved country. God bless America.
