When My Queen Left the Earth

May 2, 1930 — August 2, 1998

When My Queen Left the Earth but Never My Heart.

I see you within me. Our souls are one.

Missing you always. We Love You Mommy. Looking forward to being reunited with you for that will be a Glorious Day.

Your Loving Children,

DeBorah and Stephen

The number #1 Woman in my Life was and still is my Beloved Mother Mable Elizabeth Palmer. Sunrise: May 2, 1930 ~~ Sunset: August 2, 1998.

Because of You Mommy I am. You were the Living Biblical example of the Proverbs 31 Virtuous Woman for truly your price is far above rubies. And now you wear your Heavenly Crown.

Why I Call

Yesterday I Spoke with Dixie from OPWDD (Office for People With Developmental Disabilities) in Albany. OPWDD Falls under the domain and jurisdiction of the New York State Governors office. I learned that services and programs for Autism/Developmentally/Intellectually Disabled New York State citizens is funded through the state but they get the bulk of their money from the Federal Govt.

The Federal Govt determines what and how much funding these programs and services receive. So for those of you who don’t believe that decisions the government makes won’t affect you. Well Think again. Today it is my brother Stephen and the people who reside at QCP Bellerose or go to the AABR Day Treatment Center.

Tomorrow even though you might not have a family member with Autism either you or someone you Love may get into an accident, suffer TBI Traumatic Brain Injury or you could have an illness that affects your cognitive and/or physical abilities. Truthfully the aging process will affect you in some way. The Bible says that the Outward man perishes day by day.Being a Christian will not protect you from illness or injury so that’s why you need to participate in the government process so you can get the benefits, services and programs you will need should your health decline. Barring death by injury or accident you will get older and your body will change as will your physical abilities.

November 2008 I had a minor stroke which affected the vision in my left eye. High Blood Pressure. I became a Pre-Existing condition. Fortunately for me I belong to a Union DC 37 and my workplace provides me with health benefits. Even the Health Insurance did not pay for everything but Thank God filing for bankruptcy got me out from under all those debts. Bankruptcy is a Blessing. As are Unemployment, Food Stamps, Soup kitchens and Food pantries. I know because I’ve had to make use of all these government programs. My brother Stephen receives SSI and Medicaid. One day if I live to be 65 I will receive Medicare. Yes we do need all these Blessings & Benefits and Yes it is the job of the United States Government to care for the citizens! Don’t get it twisted!

So that’s why I call. Don’t wait until it is too late and suddenly you or your family need the benefits and find they no longer exist.

If the benefits/Government Assistance don’t exist never will you after a while!

No Man is an Island by John Donne

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend’s
Or of thine own were:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

John Donne

Lately when I read the newspaper or read news articles on my cell phone I get the feeling more and more each day that the Oval Office and White House cronies are just another version of the movie Goodfellas or the TV SHOW The Sopranos.

People judge those who have a rough life in Urban areas but these White House aides and Cabinet members are more thuggish, ghetto hood rat than anyone living in the poorest neighborhood in Queens or Brooklyn. Dhrump cronies drop more F-Bombs and make more threats than any Gangster Rapper. The 1% are the real Gangsters.

As for #45 aka Agent Orange, There is no honor among thieves. Never mind Draining the Swamp! Somebody Take Out the Trash!

Gotta keep the devil way down in the hole.

Share Your World – July 31, 2017

July 31, 2017 Cee Neuner

Good morning everyone. I thought I would switch things up a bit on Share Your World. I will still be asking four questions, but the fourth question will be the same each week. The last question will be about anything that inspires you.

If you had to have your vision corrected would you rather: glasses or contacts? Or what do you use if you need to have your vision corrected?

I wear Glasses. I tried contact lenses years ago and I never could get used to them. They irritate my eyeballs. I guess I don’t like having anything actually on my eyes. Plus one has to be all the cleaning solutions needed for contact lens. Too much work. Glasses are ready to wear without preparation.

Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?

I grew up with dogs because we lived in a house but since I’ve lived in smaller spaces where I cannot keep a dog I’ve had cats for around 30 years. I think that both dogs and cats are wonderful.

If you were to buy a new house/apartment what is the top three items on your wish list?

One level. No stairs or steps. Safe, clean with amenities neighborhood. Near transportation ie buses and subways since I don’t drive.

What inspired you this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

I am a broken, scarred, battered Vessel but God has seen fit to use me in the battle for Civil Rights, Autism Rights which are all Human Rights. Despite my personal health and emotional battles I’m right there in Stephen’s corner always and forever.

With Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on our side Stephen and I are Autism Activists Advocates. We are Transformers! We are Autism Warriors! Without Jesus and Stephen who both give me the strength, courage and fortitude to keep moving forward, well I could not but them both of them I Can.

Praise God for the Best Brother in the Whole Entire World Stephen Vincent Palmer! ❤ ❤

Isaiah 54:17

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁷No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
