GIVE THE GIFT OF HEALTH! A CRASH COURSE IN HAPPINESS. THREE THINGS PEOPLE NEED TO BE HAPPY: (1) HEALTH; (2) TIME; AND (3) SUFFICIENT MONEY TO MEET THEIR REASONABLE NEEDS! MUCH BEYOND THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MAKE YOU ANY HAPPIER AND MAY IMPACT THE OTHER TWO AREAS, AND LEAVE YOU UNHAPPY! GIVE IT A WHIRL. RIDE THE HISTORIC HOLIDAY CAROUSEL IN WESTLAKE PARK, DOWNTOWN SEATTLE. NOV. 24 TO JAN. 2, 2018. I JUST TAPPED INTO WELLSFARGO.COM, AFTER SEEING THAT, PRESIDENT TRUMP, IS THINKING OF FINING WELLS FARGO MORE FOR THEIR SECRET ACCOUNTS . . . HEY, NEWSFLASH, YOUR GIRLFRIEND, SHELLEY, BACK IN 2011, WHEN, I WAS ANTICIPATING, THE ATTORNEY'S FEES FROM, MY $357 MILLION SECURITIES CASE, MY $56.7 MILLION FROM MY IRON COUNTY CIVIL RIGHTS CASE, AND SEVERAL MILLION FROM, CEASE & DESIST LETTERS, ON SEVERAL OTHER MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CASES IN NEVADA, SETTING UP A AMPED UP, ACCOUNT WITH WELLS FARGO IN PAROWAN, UTAH, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SHELLEY, AND FRANK, AKA, ALLAN REX BESS, OF INTERPOL, HAD ALL KINDS OF SECRET ACCOUNTS, THAT WELLS FARGO WOULD DISMISS WITH, WELL THE NUMBERS ARE OFF JUST ONE NUMBER . . . AH, IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO KNOW, THAT, ALL MY MILLIONS WOULD GO INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S BANK ACCOUNT, IT TOOK ME THREE ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THOSE ACCOUNTS AND SET UP OTHER ONES, TO NO AVAIL, AND GIVEN THE ACTIONS OF THE MISSOULA, MONTANA, WELLS FARGO, WHO TRIED TO DENY ME MY OWN, DAY OLD ACCOUNT, ACCESS TO MY MONEY, SHELLEY HAD HER FUCKING HANDS ON THAT ACCOUNT, TOO, IT IS CALLED, 24/7 SURVIELLANCE AND 24/7 ACCESS, ALLOWED BY THE NSA, MORMON CONNECTIONS! LOOK OVER AND THINK, OF YOUR PILLOW TALK WITH THAT CHICK! SO, I AM GETTING ON MY BLOG, FOR MY MORNING ROUTINE, AND WRITING, AND I CAN LITERALLY, PULL UP ANY .COM, AND FIND, MY BLOG AT THE TOP OF ANY HOMEPAGE, EVEN OVER THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE OF THE .COM, SO, I DID JUST THAT, ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A MEANS TO FUCK WITH THE HACKER SHELLEY, AND LOW AND BEHOLD, I GET DIRECTLY INTO "MY" BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITHOUT, EVEN NEEDING TO SIGN IN! MUCH, LIKE THE CLIVEN BUNDY, HOMEPAGE, WITH A BLOG, THAT LOOKED LIKE SHELLEY'S LACK OF CLASS, STYLE, LITTLE KID COWBOYS, HORSES AND WHATEVER, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, THERE WAS THIS FINE PRINT, THAT SAID, "POWERED BY BLOGGER" SO I CLICKED THAT, AND IT WENT, LIKE THIS .COM, DIRECTLY INTO MY BLOG, WITHOUT ANY PASSWORDS OR USER NAME! SHELLEY, SHELLEY, SHELLEY OR WHOMEVER WORKS WITH HER IN THIS GAME OF "OPEN SPACES" IN WHICH, WHATEVER TOPIC, I WRITE ABOUT, SOMEONE IS ASIGNED ACCESS OR GIVEN THE FUNDS, THAT I MAKE ON THAT PARTICULAR BLOG! RACE: MILES. KENNEDY: KENNEDY OR HIS DOUBLE. RELIGION: RACHEL. THE CONSTITUTION: SUE. SECURITIES: SHELLEY. GOVERNMENT: KAY, POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR, LAW DEGREE OR ME! NO, THAT BITCH IS A SHITTY, AMBULANCE CHASING, TORTS ATTORNEY. SO, ON AND ON, AS I WRITE ABOUT, A NEW TOPIC, THEY PICK FROM THE COP SHITS, AND ASSIGN SOMEONE, WHO, POSSIBLY, THROUGH, THEIR BACKGROUND, COULD HAVE WRITTEN THAT BLOG, WHEN, I HAVE WRITTEN, EVERY LAST GOD DAMNED ONE OF THEM! MONOPOLY MONEY, WITH AN ASSIGNED PIN NUMBER, TO MY MONEY, AND ACCESS, TO MY BLOG, THAT WAS REDIRECTED, THROUGH, MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT, JUST 9 FUCKING DAYS, AFTER I STARTED THE BLOG! MILES WAS THE FIRST TO KNOW I WAS WRITING A BLOG. THE GOVERNMENT, OR SOMEONE WITH ACCESS, SEEING THAT I HAVE A UNIQUE STYLE OF WRITING, CHANGED MY BLOGSPOT SET UP, AND COMPUTER REGISTRATION, TAKING IT FROM, JO BESS, TO WRITING, WITH PARENTHASES, "YOU!!!!!" TWO DAYS, LATER, THEY CHANGED THE NAME ON MY BLOG, TO JOANN SECRIST! ASK YOURSELF, WHO THE FUCK HAS, THE POWER, THE ACCESS, TO ABILITY, TO GET STRAIGHT INTO MY BLOG? MORMON NSA, FBI, CIA . . . THE DEEP WEB, AND THE DARK INTERNET WAS CREATED FOR THE CIA, TO SEND MESSAGES, AROUND THE WORLD, BURIED, AND BOUNCED AROUHD TO 5,000 CITES, BEFORE, LANDING ON A SECRET IP NUMBER . . . ANYONE BUT ME, IS THE ALLEGED WRITER, WHEN, ANY ONE BUT ME, COULDN'T WRITE A FUCKING ONE OF THESE BLOGS! THEY ARE ALL TOO FUCKING BORING! THEY READ IT AFTER THE FACT, AND THINK, I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THAT . . . YEAH, ONCE YOU HAD ALL MY IDEAS, MAYBE IMITATING ME, BUT, STARTING A BLOG LIKE THIS FROM SCRATCH, AND BUILDING IT AS FAST AS I DID, FUCK NO, AND YOU DON'T WRITE ANY OF THEM, ANYWAY, YOU JUST STEAL THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRY THAT ONE ON FOR SIZE MR. PRESIDENT! CONTROLLED BY THE NEW YORK MOB, SLEEPING WITH THE MORMON MAFIA, AND DEALING, WITH THE LEGALIZED MAFIA, THE COPS, OF ALL LEVELS, FLAVORS AND SIZES! I DIG FREEDOM, FROM ALL THIS SHIT--AIN'T NOBODY GOING TO CONTROL ME!

I HAD TO LAUGH, MY SON-IN-LAW, FORMER, NAVY SEAL, BIG ASS DUDE, STRONG AS AN OX, BUT, GREW UP, ON COLD CEREAL, SOME MEAT AND POTATOES, MAKING MY VERY HEALTHY, SUPER WOMAN, DAUGHTER, ON THE WALLS AT ALL THE LA FITNESS CENTERS I GO TO EACH DAY, CHEERING MOM ON, PERFECT BODY, AND SHE DESERVES IT--SHE LISTENED TO HER MOTHER, TALKING ABOUT EATING RIGHT, AND EXERCISING, AND ACTUALLY, PRACTICED, WHAT I PREACHED! LOL. SHE HAS TRIED TO IMPROVE HER HUBBY'S DIET FOR YEARS, AND HAS FINALLY GIVEN UP! SADLY TO SAY, ONE OF HER THREE SONS, ALSO, FOLLOWED, DAD'S EATING HABITS AND SHE HAS A HARD TIME GETTING HIM, TO EAT HIS VEGGIES, AND HEALTHY TOO. DALLAS IS 8 YEARS OLDER THAN, GRETA, AND, THE CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST, AS MY FATHER WOULD SAY . . . DALLAS IS STARTING TO GET HEALTH PROBLEMS, FROM, HIS SHITTY EATING HABITS, THAT I HAVE WARNED HIM ABOUT TOO, OVER WHAT THE 17 YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED, WITH GRETA THE PICTURE OF HEALTH, AND HIM, STRUGGLING AT BEST. SO, LAST TIME I TALKED TO GRETA, WE BOTH GOT A CHUCKLE, WHEN, SHE TOLD ME THAT DALLAS, SAID, THAT HE IS SCARED TO GET OLD WITH GRETA! LOL. MIRROR MIRROR, ON THE WALL, I BECAME MY MOTHER AFTER ALL! LOL. I AM NOT A CARETAKER, AND NOT THAT PATIENT, PARTICULARLY, WHEN, I CAN SAY, "I TOLD YOU SO!" LOL. GRETA'S REPSONSE, IS, WELL, YOU BETTER GET HEALTHY! LOL. SERVES HIM RIGHT. WHAT CAN A WIFE, HALF YOUR SIZE DO? SPOON FEED YOU LIKE A BABY? LOL. TALKING HEALTH, AND THE LACK OF CARETAKER IN ME, SOCIAL WORKER MAYBE, NURSE, NEVER . . .

SHE HAD SOME CONTRAPTION, ORANGE RUBBER, HOSE, WITH HANDLES ON IT, AND SHE HAD THIS, ELEBORATE SET UP, AND SHE, TO HER CREDIT WAS EXERCISING, LIKE A GOOD, AGENT, WORRIED ABOUT EVERY POUND SHE PUT ON, OR AT LEAST THAT WAS MY FIRST IMPRESSION, LIKE WHO, EXERCISES IN THE BATHROOM, FOR GOD SAKES? SOMETIME LATER, AT 7:00 AM, WHEN, I CAME IN TO DO MY WEEK CHORE, THAT I HATE, NOT BECAUSE, I HATE THE WORK, I HATE THAT IT FUCKS MY SCHEDULE, AND I AM OCDC, OR ANAL RETENTIVE ABOUT, NOT DOING AT 7:00 AM, WHAT I GENERALLY DO AT 5:00 AM, AND I AM NORMALLY, OUT OF HAMMOND HOUSE, AND ON MY WAY, DOWNTOWN, BY 6:00 AM, SOMETIMES, AND I LOVE IT, BY 5:00 AM, ROCKIN' TO MCD'S AND CHOWING ON TWO BURRITOS, HASHBROWNS AND SLOGGIN' DOWN, A FEW DIET COKES, BEFORE HITTING MY COMMUTE TO EITHER BELLEVUE OR KIRKLAND! SO, I COME IN, LOADED FOR BEAR, PLASTIC GLOVES ON, BROOM AND DUST PAN IN HAND, IN ADDITION TO ALL PURPOSE CLEANER, FOR ME AND REBECCA, MY CLEANING CREW PARTNER, WHO IS A GREAT PARTNER, AND WE HAVE A SYSTEM WORKED OUT, AND ALL GOES, SMOOT, UNLESS, I THROW HER, COFFEE OUT, LIKE I DID, WEDNESDAY, JUST THOUGHT, IT WAS SOMEONE WHO PUT ON THEIR MAKE-UP, AND LEFT THEIR COFFEE, WITH SOME TEA TREE OIL, AND SIGNATURE, LOTION . . . THE WHITE TORNADO, HIT AND I JUST GRABBED ITEMS AND TRASHED, THEM, ON MY ATHLETICLY COMPETITIVE, ROMP THROUGH MY MORNING CHORES! SO, THE SAME, LADY, I SAW, EXERCISING, AT 5:30 AM, IS LAYING, PROSTRATED ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR? YOU HAVE TO GET OUT, WE ARE READY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE. I CAN'T MOVE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU WERE JUST UP EXERCISING, SO GET UP AND GET OUT, IT IS TIME! I CAN'T MOVE, I FLIPPED MY ACLU OUT! SERIOUSLY, YOU NEED TO MOVE. NOW, DAUGHTER GRETA, TORE HER ACL, AND SOMETIMES, HER KNEES, FLIP OUT, SHE INJURED IT IN THE MILITARY IN JAPAN, WHILE GOLFING WITH SOME DUDE, WHO, TIPPED OVER THE GOLF CART, AND SHE HAS HAD TROUBLE, WITH IT EVER SINCE, BUT, I WARNED HER, NOT TO GET SURGERY, AS LONG AS SHE COULD, DO THE MAJORITY OF HER EXERCISING, AND HOBBIES, LIKE ROCK CLIMBING . . . GOOD GIRL, STILL, FIT AS EVER, AND NEVER GOT HER ACL, WORKED ON! SO, I THOUGHT OF MY DAUGHTER, AND I WAS SOMEWHAT SYMPATHETIC, BUT NOT MUCH, ALL I CARED ABOUT, WAS GETTING THIS DEAD WEIGHT OFF THE FLOOR! DO YOU NEED ME TO CALL THE PARAMETICS? THINKING THAT WOULD GET HER ASS OFF THE FLOOR. SHE DIDN'T MOVE, SO I THOUGHT, LINDA, MEAN AS ME, IS HERE AND I AM NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO MUCH, INCLUDING CALLING FOR HELP! I TOLD LINDA THE SITUATION, AND SAID, I DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO MOVE THIS CHICK. SHE DIDN'T LOOK UP AND SAID, YES, YOU DO. OH, THE STAFF IS FINALLY, SEEING ME FOR THE BAD ASS CON LAW CHICK, I AM! OKAY, I WILL HANDLE THIS, AND I WENT BACK IN THE BATHROOM. CAN YOU MOVE? YOU NEED TO GET INTO A BED, AND OFF THE FLOOR. I WAS MORE CONCERNED GETTING MY JOB DONE . . . I AM VERY, TASK ORIENTED, AND I AM A BITCH, UNTIL, I GET MY CHORE DONE, OR MY BLOG, DONE, THEN, I AM NICE AS CHRISTMAS PLUM PIE! LOL. FINALLY, I GOT A REPONSE OUT OF THE WOMAN ON THE FLOOR . . . SHE SAID, IF YOU CAN HELP ME, I CAN, PROBABLY MAKE IT TO A BED. BUT I HAVE A TOP BUNK, SO WHERE CAN I LAY? I AM TRYING TO HELP HER, AND GRABBING ALL HER SHIT OFF THE FLOOR AT THE SAME TIME, AND REBECCA, CAME, IN, SHE TOOK OVER, BEING THE CRUTCH, AND I CARRIED HER SHIT TO THE DORM, WHERE WE LOOKED FOR A BED. I WAS ABOUT TO OFFER MINE, NOT WANTING TO, BUT, THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT KICKED ME IN THE ASS, AND I SAID, YOU CAN LAY IN MY BED . . . OH, HERE IS AN EMPTY, BED, SOMEONE GOT KICKED OUT, FOR MOUTHING OFF TO THE STAFF, THIS MORNING, JOYFULLY, YOU CAN LAY HERE! WE GOT HER OVER OT HE BED, AND DROPPED HER, MILITARY ASS, OVER ON THE BED. i ADDED HER STUFF, AND SHE SAID, I NEED TO BE ON A LOWER BUNK. OH, SO THIS IS WHAT, YOUR KNEE IS ALL ABOUT, HUH? THEY SAID I HAD TO HAVE A DOCTOR'S ORDER. YES, THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. CAN YOU TELL STAFF, THAT I NEED A LOWER BUNK. NO, THAT IS NOT MY JOB, YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH STAFF, YOURSELF. THAT IS ABOVE MY PAY GRADE! LOL. YAHOO! BODY OFF MY FLOOR, LET'S ROCK-N-ROLL! REBECCA, WAS MORE SYMPATHETIC, OFFEREING TO GIVE HER SOME EXERCISES, FOR HER, NOW, CHARLIE HORSE? WHAT THE FUCK, SHIT THE OTHER NIGHT, AFTER ADDING, 20 POUNDS TO ABOUT 40 MACHINES IN ONE DAY AT LA FITNESS, IT FELT LIKE I HAD, TO LARGE KITCHEN, KNIVES, BURIED IN THE BACK OF BOTH, HAMSTRINGS, NOT JUST ONCE, THAT NIGHT, BUT TWICE, LEAVING ME REELING IN PAIN! A FUCKING CHARLIE HORSE? MILITARY? GOOD GRIEF, CHARLIE BROWN! AFTER I FINISHED ME CHORE, AT BREAK-NECK SPEED, I NOTICED, SOME HANDSOME FIREFIGHTER, WITH SEVERAL OTHER MEN, IN THE DORM . . . YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME???????? YOU SERIOUSLY, CALLED THE AMBULANCE OR FIREFIGHTERS? NEVER! LOOK, A CHARLIE HORSE, JUST NEEDS TO BE RELAXED AND LET BE! CAN YOU IMGINE, WHAT, FOUR FIREFIGHTERS, AND ENGINE, COSTS, JUST TO COME DOWN THE BLOCK AND ATTEND TO YOUR LAME ASS, CHARLIE HORSE? FUCK! COME ON, MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD, MOST OF THIS SHIT, IS NO BIG DEAL, AND YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE, AND LET THIS THING PASS, JUST LIKE GALLSTONES! WE WONDER, WHY, MEDICAL EXPENSES ARE SO EXPENSIVE . . . IT IS BECAUSE OF DUMB ASS SHIT LIKE THIS! I TOLD REBECCA, THAT I HAD NOT BEEN TO THE HOSPITAL, SINCE MY SON, ELLIOT WAS BORN, AND HE IS 34 YEARS OLD! GIVE THE GIFT OF HEALTH! REBECCA TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD A BAD COUGH, THE OTHER DAY, AND EVENTUALLY, DECIDED, SHE NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION . . . LOL, SHE GOT TO THE CLINIC, AND SHE DIDN'T COUGH AT ALL, AND SHE WAS EMBARRASSED, AT THE LACK OF SYMPTOMS, THAT LED HER TO THE CLINIC IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE DOCTOR, ASKED, IF SHE WANTED HIM, TO GIVE HER SOMETHING, JUST IN CASE IT CAME BACK! LOL. SHE WAS MORTIFIED. BUT LET THAT BE A LESSON, THAT MOST OF THESE THINGS, COUGHS, FLU, COLD, ARE GOING TO LAST, 7 DAYS, GET SOME OVER THE COUNTER, SHIT, THAT TAKES THE COUGH AWAY SO YOU CAN SLEEP, BUT GOING TO THE DOCTOR, IS FUCKING RIDICULOUS! THE BEST REMEDY, FOR, A COUGH, WE USED TO CALL THE POVERELLO CRUD, BECAUSE, WITH 168 PEOPLE, TOUCHING EVERY THING, ALL THE TIME, AND COUGHING, THE FIRST YEAR, I GOT THE COUGH, FROM DECEMBER TO MARCH! BUT, JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER TOLD YOU . . . WASH YOUR HANDS, IN HOT SOAPY WATER. EVER SINCE THEN, I WASH MY HANDS, IN THE HOTTEST, SOAPIEST, WATER, I CAN STAND, AS OFTEN, AS I REMEMBER AND SURELY BEFORE I EAT . . . NO, COUGH, FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, LIVING IN CLOSE QUARTERS, WITH SICK PEOPLE, ALL THE TIME! THIS IS NOT AN OLD WIVES, TALE, JUST GOOD COMMUNITY HEALTH! DO US ALL A FAVOR, WASH YOUR HANDS, EVERY TIME YOU ARE EXPOSED, TO, COMMON AREAS, AT WORK AND SCHOOL, OR ON THE BUS, OR AT HOME, BECAUSE, THAT WILL KILL THE GERMS, BETTER AND CHEAPER, THAN ANY DOCTOR AFTER THE FACT! ANOTHER SAFETY TIP: A BUS DRIVER, THE OTHER NIGHT, ANNOUNCED TO THE BUS, ON A DARK, COLD NIGHT, WHEN, SEEING RIDERS, AND GETTING ON AND OFF THE BUS, WAS A SCARY, ORDEAL, THAT, WE ALL PROBABLY HAVE A LIGHT, SOMEWHERE ON OUR CELL PHONES, AND WE NEED TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND IT, FOR SAFETY, AND IT IS ALSO A HELP, TO THE BUS DRIVERS, ON NON-LIGHTED, BUS STOPS, IF YOU WAVE YOUR CELL PHONE LIGHT, HE/SHE CAN SEE YOU, AND YOU CAN USE IT TO GET ON THE BUS, EARLY MORNINGS AND LATE NIGHTS! THE OTHER, NIGHT, SOME GUY, STUMBLED, GETTING ONTO THE BUS, AND HIT HIS HEAD, AND AS PEOPLE TRIED TO HELP HIM, HE FELL, ALMOST UNDER THE BUS! FOR YOUR OWN, SAFETY AND HEALTH, AND KEEPING THE TIMED, BUS ROUTES, ON TIME FOR EVERYONE, GETTING TO AND FROM WORK, PLEASE, USE YOUR SAFETY LIGHT, OR JUST OPEN YOUR PHONE, LIKE MY OLD SCHOOL STRAIGHT TALK, SO YOU CAN SEE, AND DRIVERS CAN SEE YOU!
