Remembering my Grandpa 2 Years Later. RIP Pa!

2 years ago today my late grandpa passed away. Earl "Joe" Stein was born on March 1 1925 in White Pidegon, Michigan. He grew up in Clinton, Michigan where he met my Grandma, Ruth, in 9th grade. They got married on January 26, 1945 in Detroit, Michigan and about a year and a half later had my aunt, Debbe. In 1952, they had my mom, Melani. My late Grandpa was the oldest of 4 brothers and outlived them all. He was in the Navy for 22 years and constantly moved. My late grandpa had a triple bypass, lung cancer, 2 twisted bowels, and a fractured hip joint and still survived. Ever since the cancer he had trouble breathing. He was on oxygen 24/7 until he died. He also had sleep apnea. July 4, 2009 my grandpa passed away. His heart was only working at 25% when he passed away.

I remember he would say spaghetti was his favorite fruit. He did that to make me laugh and my Grandma makes mean spaghetti. He would call froot loops, frooty loops, just to be funny. We would have flag raisings in his backyard because he had a flag pole back there. He built a garden in his backyard and grew lots of stuff I don't remember all he grew but i was a lot. He did love his bar in the house he would have his martinis and bloody marys. He loved, golf, football, especially Michigan State football, He and my aunt would bet on the games when her Redskins played, she was always and still is for the Redskins and he was for the team playing the Redskins. I miss those bets. He love the History Channel, especially shows about the Civil War. He loved the shows NYPD Blue, Law and Order, and he would watch the news every night. He was a staunch Republican and so is my Grandma. You never ever get them started on politics. He and I would play Acey Ducey the Navy's version of backgammon.

Well I can't think of anything else just RIP Pa i used to call him Pa. 1925-2009. He would have been 86 this year. my Grandma will be 86 in November.

Something That Gets On My Nerves and Makes Me Sad!

I have to express my opinions and feelings on this. My Hero Alyssa Milano tweeted yesterday that she "wish the paparazzi would leave her alone at yoga class and that bloggers would stop buying the pictures and posting them". It makes me sad that Alyssa can't even go to her yoga class without the paparazzi being there. It's not fair that just because she is a celebrity these "people" follow her and take pictures of her. Being a paparazzo is not a job it's people who stalk and take pictures of other people for their pleasure and money. Nobody should have to go through that in my opinion. Everyone is entitled to privacy and I think Alyssa deserves all her privacy and to be able to go to yoga class without the paparazzi being there and to enjoy her pregnancy too. This is a very special time in her life and she should have all the privacy she wants and needs to enjoy it. I think somebody should go around and take pictures of the paparazzi see how they like it. That wouldn't stop them though. I wish there was a way to stop them. I know that Alyssa's Army would block all the paparazzi from Alyssa if we could. It just makes me sad and gets on my nerves that this has to happen to her. I love Alyssa so much and she shouldn't have to deal with this. I guess that's all I have to say right now. I would like to add a little something I just wrote to this blog post:

I love Alyssa Milano and I can’t stand the fact that the paparazzi thinks it’s ok to follow her around on foot and by car and it scares me that something bad will happen to her one day, like getting in a car crash because of the damn paparazzi. It’s not fair! Alyssa is the sweetest, most compassionate, and amazing woman on this planet and she deserves respect and privacy from everybody. Alyssa is going to be a mom soon and she deserves privacy to enjoy this special time in her life with the ones she loves. I wish there was something I could do to help her and protect her from these “people”. I mean it’s not real job if all you do is go around stalking people to take their picture, it’s a crime is what it is. There should be a law to prevent such horrible acts. It’s weird I actually feel guilty for being a regular girl who doesn’t have the paparazzi following me every day and night. I want Alyssa to have that too so bad. She deserves it more than anybody. The way she handles it though makes me love her even more. She’s so inspirational! I want her to be able to walk down the street with her husband, son, hopefully future children, and dogs without being harassed by the paparazzi. Just leave Alyssa alone for crying out loud show some respect just be a decent human being for once in your lives and see what you’re really doing to her and all the other celebs too. Alyssa we’re here for you every day and we support and love you no matter what.

Letter to Alyssa Milano!

So last night I was very upset and angry there was a guy on twitter who was being rude to everyone and Alyssa Milano! I haven't been that upset and angry about something like that in a long time but anyway I wrote this letter to Alyssa a little while ago just felt the need:

Dear Sweet Alyssa,

You are the sweetest most beautiful woman in the world. Alyssa’s Army always has your back and we always will. You don’t deserve any rudeness or disrespect of any kind especially from that guy last night. Anybody who wishes ill on an unborn child has no conscience or sympathy of any kind. I can’t tell how mad and sad that made me and everyone. Alyssa’s Army came together last night for you and that rude guy is no longer on twitter as far as I know. I can’t tell you how happy we all are about that. He was rude to just about all of us as well. I wish you didn’t have to see such horrible tweets like those from last night, but there are so many more of us who tweet you love everyday. I’m so glad that all the rudeness from last night is over and dealt with.

Your precious baby boy will be happy, healthy, and strong just like his mom. Don’t worry about what other rude people may say; the only thing that matters is what YOU know and how YOU feel. You and your sweet baby boy are so blessed and will always be blessed. I hope you, David, and your baby boy live a long, happy, healthy, life; filled with nothing but peace, love, and happy memories. You deserve every bit of this happiness in your life and don’t let any body make you feel any different.

We all love you and your baby boy so much! I love you and your baby boy so much! We’re always here for you when you need us and we always will be. You’re our Angel, Hero, Idol, Inspiration, and friend. We’re all so very proud of you and you mean so much to each of us and me.

So, keep smiling and again we all love you! Alyssa’s Army is and will always be here for you! ~Hugs~ Mwah!

So there it is! Just sharing some love to Alyssa! <3 : )

Another Reason Why I Love Alyssa Milano!

This is just another reason why I love Alyssa Milano: http://www.babybugliari.org/ Alyssa and her husband David have set up this website because instead of gifts they want people to donate to UNICEF USA! Please donate if you can! I tried but it doesn't like me for some reason. Is there a better hero/idol/inspiration/role model better than Alyssa? I don't think so! <3 : )
