Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 05, 2021

I am a strong woman… because I had to raise my self. Birth Family would have been happier if I wasn’t born. So… I am stronger from that aversity.

My mom was the strongest woman I ever knew. She raised 4 strong women, just like her.

My Mom was strong enough to raise 5 kids and make it to 103.

So you don’t need anyone to open that jar for you?

So that, kids, concludes today’s class on genetics and heredity!

My wife is a strong woman because her father was a strong man.

My mama, too . . .strong, pragmatic, . . .Her two sayings? “Everything will be all right” and “Take two aspirin and lay down for 15 minutes.”The rest of the time it was “Let’s get on with it.” Wasn’t one for melodrama, my mama!

And, to think, all along I thought Ma Barker had only four sons.

I heard Walt sometimes refers to his wife as “Right Cross Aunty”… ☺

I am a strong force due to my choices based on my situations. Farming has no room or use for a whinger or idler (also, adopted as a five year old, left home for good at 15). Been taught by Life, take my cues from Life. Life says I need to be strong and gave me every opportunity to become such. No regrets.

She obviously didn’t get it all right.

In my case it was a strong grandmother. My mom to this day sits in front of the TV drinking with no ambition but to get to the next drink.

I am a strong woman… because I was able to endure a lot of teasing/shaming from a lot of people (family included).

So many times when I could’ve ruined their lives, and even more times when I should’ve.
