Why?

Why O why is the human race a strange bunch these days?

Why?

When hanging up the phone do some people say "can you believe that?" Like you have your whisper 2000 cranked and can pick up the entire conversation from both people.

Why?

Do we expect everyone to respect us but in turn give everyone else little respect? What happened to the old addage that you treat others how you want to be treated yourself?

Why?

Do some complain when their kids turn out the same way they were and are today.

One Party?

So how long have I been sleeping or what size rock have I been living under? The reason I ask is that over the last few weeks all I hear about are the Democrats. Seems as if we have moved from a multi-party government to just Democrats according to the mainstream media.

All I have heard is what the Democrats have to do to win the house and the senate for the next few years. Nothing to the opposite of what the Republicans have to do to keep them. It is all about the Democrats and how they "will" win both sides of Government.

It is getting a bit too much but what do you expect from a "neutral" media? For them to actually report fair and unbiased news? Naw, don't be silly.

Just had to fume on this since election day is tomorrow!!

Who would have tunk Jon was correct

Funny thoughts

Does anyone know how to turn off this big ol' light on the front of my vehicle. It is a big neon red light that reads "Please pull in front of me, I insist!". This noon I went to Chili's about 10 minutes away from my office and had 5 vehicles pull in front of me.

It was not like this was a one lane street where they "had" too, it is a major road with 3 lanes in each direction. But people insisted on pulling into my lane when there were 2 other lanes to choose from and a larger opening behind me.

I almost swapped paint with one cuz they got pulled into my lane so of course your next maneuver is to get into the middle lane from the right lane to pass. Well as I was getting into the other lane to pass they decided they wanted that lane as well only going 10 mph. It is not like I drive a small vehicle that you cannot see.

=================================

OK secondly I pulled up along side of a old and beat down van with some advertising on the side. So I took a look over and noticed that it was a Home Maintenance company. If this fella pulled up to your home in this old and beaten down jalopy to fix your home how comfortable would you feel with him and his work? Not wanting to sound mean or anything but I would have to send him or at least question him on his work for a couple reasons.

1. How handy is his work if his van looks this bad?
2. Does he not get enough biz so he cannot afford to purchase a newer van? Especially these days when large vehicles are out there for far cheaper due to gas prices.

Appearance is so much in the business world these days, especially to businesses that plaster their name on the side of a van or truck making their truck a rolling billboard.

Well anyways this was my drive to Chili's at noon to meet Mr. Sprybot (which by the way Stevie P. spells my name when reading it backwards, coolness).

=================================

One more funny thing I was just realized about my community. Recently an active adult community rose from the grounds a few blocks from where I live. Even more recently a 3 story 3 tier nursing home arose adjacent to that community. Well I noticed on the other side of the street is yet another nursing home currently popping up out of the ground.

If you lived in the Active Adult community how uneasy would that make you feel? Maybe if you are not active enough they automatically kick you up to the nursing home. Or aftter living there a while you start seeing all of your neighbors walking all of their furniture up the road to their new room at the nursing home.

Buzz light head!

Not much of a week since for most of it I have been feeling a bit lightheaded. Even taking a class I am still feeling light headed, so it is not for a lack of trying to fill it with good stuff. My wife has said that it is sinuses so I have been taking sinus medication for the last week or so. Not much fun with my head throbbing, lightheadedness and such.

To add to that a few times I was feeling a bit nauseous and ready to chunk all around my desk. Well thankfully I did not but it got so bad that I actually went to the Dr's office. For those of y'all that know me I am one to visit his office. Well what good did it do me? Not much for the problem I went in with so he decided to add to it by telling me that I have some crazy numbers for my cholestoral. Otherwise I went in there paid over $250 for them to draw blood and tell me about my cholestoral. Well it did not explain my head problems so I guess I am on my own for that.

Being from Wisconsin the notice of what I eat is making my numbers get all wiggly like that is not real good (Ok it is not good for anyone to hear this). That means I need to cut out or reduce red meat, sausage, cheese and the like out of my diet. This stinks since I am all about all of those things. What else is there to eat? Nothing!! My life is over as I know it.

Oh, the good news is that I realized on my own why I was feeling rather chunky. Last week I started drinking Green Tea, the hot version of it and soon after drinking it each time I had the feeling of blowing chunks. Again I never did actually blow chunks,thankfully. Well today I have not had any Green Tea and have not had the feeling so all is good there but still a bit woozy in the membrane!

Something else that is not going to help the situation is that I have been soda, pop, soda pop or coke (however you say it from where ever you are from) free for a week and a half. No that is not the reason, the light head started a day earlier than soda, pop, soda pop or coke free days.

Toodles.

Just wrong!

Halloween is just around the corner and this is a time for people to get dressed up in goofy costumes and look silly for a few hours. Why then do people feel it necessary to pull their pets into the mix? I do know a few people that have dressed their pets up and are unashamed by this. Not saying that they should be ashamed. Take a look for yourself at a few pics I have found.

Just look at the poor thing and how uncomfortable he looks in his little lizzard suit.

OK I have never heard of a dog with big buns before but now there are two of them!

This one is just flat out wrong!! This is where Fox may find a new show, "When Pets attack" if he ever realized what his "loving" owner did to him. Humiliation I tell ya.

These pictures speak for themselves.

Poll Question to the right-->

Blow Pops

OK This weekend we have our Fall retreat with the Junior High kiddos from my Church. So to be the cool leader for the kids in my cabin I thought what kid does not love a sucker. OK I admit I have been one of those a few times in my life but the ones I am talking about are the ones on a stick with the bubble gum inside. How many licks does it take kind, oops those are the tootsie pops aren't they?

Well anyway I am tooling around the candy aisle at wally world (Wal-Mart for those unfamiliar with said store) and the only size bag that I could find was one with 71 pops. OK my cabin will hold maybe ten kids but what I know of right now is that there will be 5 of us in the cabin. That means I have 14.2 pops for each of the kids. If I were smart and went past a hospital I would have just stopped and got an IV for each kid and load it up with liquid sugar. Cuz the students usually bring the candy aisle with them as well as me feeding them more via blow pops.

Oh yea there is a "snack" shop there as well where they can get fueled up for the remainder of the night. The best thing this year is I do not have RT in my group anymore. He would literally bring his whole bedroom along with a 12 pack of Mt. Dew (or were they Cokes) for the nights. Well anyways he is no longer in my group and I will not miss him this time around. Do not get me wrong he is a great kid with a great heart but those two things I will remember the most. Especially this summer in Costa Rica he was all about getting a huge bottle of Coke at the corner little store almost everyday. Also his jokes, if you can call em that, until 2 in the morning were just the worst.

Well anyway we are off this evening and back on Sunday, SWEET (literally)!!
