Selfishness vs Self-centered

Hey this is Yaminah with another segment of I got issues.  Toddy I want to talk about selfishness and being self-centered. For a long time I was guilty of accusing people of being selfish. it was not until I got enlightened that I now know the difference. A person who is selfish tends to do or say whatever is necessary to secure whatever they want for themselves at the detriment of others. They don't care who they hurt in the process so long as they get what they want. I see that every day as people will cut you off in traffic in order to get over with no consideration as to whether they slam into you or you into them. 

On the other hand you have people who are self-centered. meaning the look out for themselves and put themselves first but they are not putting anyone else in danger as they focus on themselves. There is nothing wrong with that. Truth is you are no good to yourself or others if you are not taking care of yourself. Even on the airplane they admonish you to put on the oxygen mask first should the cabin lose pressure before attempting to help anyone else. 

We have become a society where self-centeredness is frowned upon and is being perceived as selfishness. That is an error in judgment. Just because some choose to put themselves first and focus on themselves does not make them selfish especially if their actions does not negatively affect anyone else. We all came here for the experience and we all have to learn to navigate this realm for yourself. Helping others is an option and should not be labeled as a requirement. The same opportunities afforded to one is available to all. So the next time you are tempted to accuse someone of being selfish, ask yourself who are they hurting? If the answer is no one then you should reconsider and think perhaps they are just self-centered. I'm just saying, I got issues. What about you,?)i(

Google

This is an open message to Google. I would like to be able to call the US Virgin Islands from my Google Home Mini and Google Voice app without having to pay for it. I have called your customer service many times asking them to address this issue and they keep telling me that it is my cellphone carrier that is blocking the call. That is not true! I have been a T-Mobile customer for about six years and I am able to call the US Virgin Islands (area code 340) without any issues. So can please do the research and realize that Although the US Virgin Islands is in the Caribbean among the British Virgin Islands and other independent islands, they are a US Territory. The same President to run the United States runs the US Virgin Islands. The same laws that apply to the United States also apply to the US Virgin Islands. Calling the US Virgin Islands is just like calling any of the 48 Continental States. So can you please fix this issue? I'm just saying. I got issues. what about you?)i(

Vitamix Blender - Not metal friendly

 

This morning I made my breakfast smoothie as usual using my Vitamix blender. To clean it I add a bleach tab and warm sudsy water in the dish pan and then pour it into the blender as I tend to use that water as my dishwashing water afterwards. As the blender was engaged I heard a clicking sound and became quite concerned. When I examined the water as I poured it out I discovered bits and pieces of metal. Knowing that the only solid thing I put in the blender was the bleach tablet I immediately accused that was the culprit. "But how can that be?" I thought to myself. The bleach tablet is made of power. It got more confusing as I washed the dishes only to discover more metal particles that clearly was more than the bleach tablet. Still confused I continued to rinse and dry the dishes. That's when I noticed the cap to the mason jar was missing a lid. As I inspected the metal fragments I pulled from the dishwater I realized that they were in fact from that missing lid. Somehow I missed it while pouring the dishwater into the blender.

I bought the Vitamix years ago as an alternative to the juice machine as I realized I was loosing a lot of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables by using a juicer. Since the Vitamix came highly recommend as a source to grind those fibers into water consistency I was sold. Now I have discovered, purely by accident, that it can also blend metal I had to share. I don't think I will ever need to blend up metal but it's good to know. I'm just saying - I got issues, what about you?)i(

Life can be Great!!

Good morning FB family. It's a great day to be alive. Nothing remarkable going on in my world. I am just happy to see the sun. No doubt there are some who did not wake up today and even more will not see the new year. I don't ever take life for granted anymore. I am here for the experience. So while many are living to die, I choose to live period. Everyday I do what I can to extend my life span. Truth is once I discovered the key to living a stress-free life I am in no rush to leave this realm. Everyday is an adventure. I am no longer preoccupied with the mundane issues that used to de-rail my life. I have tapped into creation itself and it is such a beautiful thing. Life still presents its challenges and people still do their best to irritate me but the beauty of it is I no longer react to them. I choose what I want to focus on. 

For example, the other day I was driving with my granddaughter as my car is in the shop for over a month now (no worries) when she pointed out an accident in front of us at the corner of Covington hwy and Lithonia Industrial. I looked but did not see it. All I saw were cars waiting for the light to change. My granddaughter was dumbfounded that I could not see the car that had slammed into the side of a truck. As we banked the corner and she kept pointing out the accident eventually I saw it. I was amazed at how I am able to fine-tune my awareness to block out the things that do not serve me. My granddaughter was amazed as well. I did not want to miss this teachable moment so I shared with her that whatever you focus on becomes your reality. We are all creators in our own right but if you keep observing other people's manifested creations, you will no doubt make it your own and bring that experience to yourself. 

Case in point. A few weeks ago a friend of mine shared with me about the many accidents she saw while driving to work. Every time we spoke she made it a point to tell me about these various car accidents. I cautioned her to stop observing them or at best to not keep speaking about them or else she will draw it to herself. She did not listen to my admonishment. A few days after our last conversation she called to report that she totaled her car. I was not surprised.

The thing is, whether or not you subscribe to the belief that you draw the things you focus on to yourself or that you are a creator does not matter. Everyone does it either by default or on purpose. Being ignorant of the laws of the universe is no excuse. We all eventually manifest what we focus on. How quickly it manifests depends on how we feel about the thing we focus on. 

My suggestion to you is to try focusing on the good things but more importantly make feeling good your priority. Remember thoughts become things and you get what you expect. So always think good thoughts and always, always expect the best. I'm just saying. I got issues. What about you?)i(

TSA/Homeland Security Travel Restrictions

It's been over 20 years since 9/11 and yet we are still experiencing the aftermath of that tragedy. Some might even go so far as to say we are being victimized yet again. Especially when it comes to traveling. We all know that Homeland security and was created after 9/11 to help curtail the threat of another attack or at least that is what they would like us to believe. And TSA increased their strictness on what you can and cannot bring on an airplane for seemingly that same reason. I am all for increasing safety but my biggest issue is after all this time we still cannot bring water through security. So you're trying to tell me that TSA and Homeland security cannot figure out a way how to test water to determine whether or not it is an agent that can be used to bring down a plane? They pull out their little gadget to swab your hands and swab your suitcase when they suspect that you might have been handling bomb making material so why they can't develop something to determine whether or not your water is a solution that can be used to bring down the plane? To me the easiest way to test that is to just have people take a drink of their water. But we all know water is not the issue.

The issue is that 911 created an opportunity for airport vendors to capitalize on the restrictions. 

After 9/11 a lot of things were just ruled out as inadmissible to take on a plane. A lot of people's stuff was thrown away because they did not meet the three ounce requirement even though the container may say more than 3 oz you can clearly see that the item in the container was less than 3 oz but they just had you throw it away anyway. It's almost like they could not think for themselves. What TSA reps failed to understand is that guidelines are something that you use as a gauge. You have to use your own judgment to determine what fits and what doesn't fit. But like so many people today, they cannot think for themselves and have to rely on a script so to speak in order to do their jobs. I can't tell you how many times people have echoed that they have to throw away their food because a TSA agent determined that it was not suitable to go on the plane. I myself had to throw away food that you obviously can look at it and tell it is food and nothing that you can use to bring down a plane. 

Bottomline is after 21 years TSA and Homeland security needs to develop a formula to help determine whether or not our water is safe for consumption. It's not fair for us to have to pay $5 or $10 for a bottle of water at the airport when we could get that same bottle of water at a convenience store for a buck and a half. I'm just saying. I got issues, what about you?)i(

Elections 2022

Across the country,, today November 8th, is Midterm Elections. Many may not go out to vote because they have lost faith in the system. I encourage you to go make your voices heard

Here in Georgia the Governor race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp is at the forefront. Governor Kemp has launched a few ads claiming that Stacey Abrams blindly follows President Biden and is solely responsible for throwing America into recession. In fact he goes so far as to caution voters not to let Stacey Abrams do to Georgia what she did to America.

First off last time I checked Georgia was in America so if she damaged America, she damaged Georgia but we know that is not the case. secondly how can one woman have that much power? Especially when there are checks and balances in place to safeguard against such tyranny? Clearly Governor Kemp think people are stupid and won't question his remarks.

Listen, recession does not happen overnight. As a country we have been inching towards it for years. It just so happened that it came to existence during the Biden Administration. There is no way one person can cause a recession.

Governor Kemp has made some crucial decisions which have negatively impacted the quality of life for Georgians. He made it easy for criminals to carry a concealed weapon, he signed a no condition abortion bill, and made a fiscal of a stimulus program to aide the states needy families. His disregard for the safety and well-being of the people of Georgia is a public record.

Everyone is entitled to their views and opinions. There is no need to complain about the state of affairs if you are not willing to do anything about it. Whatever your motivation let it propel you to go out and vote. I'm just saying - I got issues. What about you?)(

Georgia's $350 Stimulus Payment - Card Unlocked

Governor Brian Kemp approved a one time $350 stimulus payment for Georgia's needy families ie anyone receiving SNAP, Medicaid, TANIF benefits before August 2022. The payment is issued on a virtual Mastercard if they are signed up for email notifications or an actual card will be mailed to them if they are signed up for mail notifications in the gateway system.

A number of people are still having issues accessing the funds on the card. I have discovered that one of the issues is that the card may be locked.

So let's say they get an email notification about the virtual card, they will need to click the link in the email which will take them to the online portal that they can view and activate the card. They will be promoted to enter their client ID and date of birth to gain access. Then they will be promoted to create a user name and pin for the account. Once that is done they can view the card number, expiration date, and CVV number which they can then enter into their Walmart, Google, or Apple pay.

The key thing that may be the main issue why a lot of people are not able to use the card is that it may be locked. In the portal there is a lock button on the profile. Make sure it is set to "unlock" otherwise it won't work.

I don't know why that feature is not set to "unlock" automatically or why it is even necessary but I am sure there is a valid reason for it. I just don't know what it is.

It just seems to me that this whole process could have been more simple if the state had just opted to do direct deposit or issue checks. There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of this money will go unclaimed either because people cannot access the card or they grow frustrated trying to use it to no avail. I'm just saying I got issues, what about you?)i(
