America's merry maid

2007-07-31T12:56:00.000-05:00

Here is the new maid that America needs, to run around our back country and city streets picking up all the garbage american's are throwing out their car windows. She is sweet, and smiles all the time. Working at a pace of a 10X10 room every two hours, this little merry maid should be finished with the United States in 400 years.

Finally the "soma" you have all been waiting for

2007-06-14T16:15:00.001-05:00

If anyone is offended by what I say, there is many new drugs (thanks to our drug companies) that can help tune out truth. Yes it is true! Finally a pill that allows you to stop thinking when someone is telling you like it is. It comes in a very paletable little pink tablet, and tastes like bubblegum. From now on, when the news is on and they are telling you how many people died today in Iraq, you can run to your medicine cabinet, pop our new pill, and wham-o the no think tank has been turned on. No more feeling sorry for people, no more getting irritated when someone suggests something that might apply to you. Nope, cause you don't have to listen anymore. In fact, you wont listen at all with this new wonderful invention.

Teenagers in Mercedes Benz

2007-06-14T16:01:00.000-05:00

If you were at a lost as what to buy your deserving graduating student for graduation gift, then you haven't thought of a new Mercedes Benz. What other way to say "hey, all I got for graduation was a damn card, but you, you deserve the best". Teenagers these days, they deserve nothing but the best. They have become very talented at spending mommy and daddy's money, and deserve to continue to have all the finer things in life that we never had. Front and side impact air bags, in case they are out late partying at a club when they are supposed to be studying at that ivy league school your paying for. Safety first! Nothing says "I love you, but never paid two licks of attention to you for 18 years" better than a $60,000-$80,000 vehicle.

2007-06-14T15:45:00.000-05:00

My husband swears that someday soon the financial dividers will ease there marks for middle to lower class people. For those people who have always dreamed of having a baby, but who could only dream of affording it, will soon have another option. Walmart who offers us middle to lower class citizens, a way to pay from anything from laundry soap to online music, will soon offer a low cost baby adoption market. Any child from China to California, walmart will offer the lowest prices to owning a child of your very own. Yes if it has been your dream of owning a child from Nigeria, walmart can make it come true! Please, Please however, keep your receipt to ensure money back in case of malfunction or misgifting. ( don't ya just hate it when you ask for a small black child, and get a large oriental one). Great for fathers day!! Check it out at www.suckingthelifeoutofpeopleforyears.walmart.com

Only Barbie can drive this thing

2007-06-14T15:33:00.000-05:00

Driving yesterday, I was at a stop light and heard some obnoxious blonde through the window of her car on her cell phone. I look over at her with my "what the hell is wrong with you" look on my face, to see that she is a 100 lb blonde driving a new white hummer. WOW! I don't think she has any military back ground to be driving this thing. I feel sorry for the poor fool she parks too close to at the mall. I think she had too much tanning lotion on, and it was clouding her thinking, to buy a vehicle like this. I guess only Malibu barbie is equiped to drive this beast!

Albanians embrace Bush???

2007-06-10T15:26:00.000-05:00

The albanians embrace George Bush when he recently visited their country recently. Some people waited all day to just catch a glimpse of him. Hum....... The albanians saw this visit from the president, as a reward for their support of anti terrorism. Hum...... Well this guy did a hell of a job bull-dozing this country, if only he could convince his own.....

2007-06-05T14:08:00.000-05:00

Pat Robertson warns of terrorist attack in 2007. Of course, I am sure that Bush Jr. probably had special interest in helping along this guy in his so called "visions from God". Everone needs to read "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" by Greg Palast to learn more about this snake. Money is his so called driven passion. People that have been around Roberts claim they have never seen him pray once. I believe it! He is too busy scamming money out of poor little old ladies like my grandma, to pray. Does anyone think that God intended people to be this rich because of using his name? People all over the world are starving, but this guy is eating filet mignon every night of the week selling bibles and self help tapes. It makes me sick. This is blasphemy. Together, Bush Jr. and Robertson and all the interested parties of this money making scam, can keep the public in a scare of terrorist attack. America, keep over spending, keep polluting, keep hating, keep your eyes shut of real news, keep your heart and mind closed and this could be the end of our great melting pot.

Jr. keeps the far right christian vote

2007-06-05T13:56:00.000-05:00

Of course, when our great and fearless leader proclaims to be a christian, he can keep these evangelical christians all happy by fighting the so called fight for illegalizing abortion. Abortion is a strong issue, but when world destruction is right before your eyes, shouldn't there be a bigger movement for saving our earth. What has our great leader done about abortion for these evangelical christians anyhow? Of course, it would be in Jr's interest, to keep these christians happy and convince them there is no global warming. Jr likes to contribute largely to pollution, with his oil well investments. By convincing this far right movement there is nothing going on, he keeps his vote. By convincing them he will do something about abortion, he keeps his vote. By keeping homosexual marriage illegal, he keeps his vote. What do all these things mean, if our world is falling apart right before our eyes? I would hope that God would give these people strength to recognize these immediate issues.

Evangelical Christians believe there is no global warming

2007-06-05T13:45:00.000-05:00

Of course, if you believe guys like this, there is no global warming. He does however, believe in crystal meth use and young male prostitutes, but global warming....well I would like to see this guys face (when he's not talking in tongues) when New York City is under water, and no one can come to church due to global catastrophe.

America and China #1 contributors to global warming

2007-06-05T13:41:00.001-05:00

Only a small portion care I guess, cause few change their habits. People are still buying ozone killing suvs and throwing away beer bottles in their trash. I guess that it must not directly effect them if all the polar bears will be extinct in a short time. Maybe these people will get the picture when their city is completly under water.

We could live on the top of a garbage heap

2007-06-05T13:37:00.000-05:00

Our new homes could all be built on piles of garbage waste. Forget about second hand smoke people, you could get cancer quicker than you can imagine, living in this environment!

TREE HUGGERS?

2007-06-05T13:34:00.001-05:00

I saw a suv on the road that had a bumper sticker that said tree hugger. They were driving a suv, and there was only one person in the car. No car pooling that I saw. Funny, how do these people call themselves tree huggers. What ever! Killing my ozone, one minute at a time!!

What once was, will be again

Does the ignorant sleep better at nights?

2007-06-01T14:27:00.001-05:00

One would think, it would be hard to sleep at night, with all this blood on his hands. Apparently, the ignorant sleep better at night, with no conscious to bother them. Dollar bills dance through his dreams.

2007-06-01T14:19:00.000-05:00

In case you wanna know....I don't go get my nails or hair done. I am not up on the newest pop songs. I dress like a hobo and still think Bob Dylan should be on the countdown. I don't buy $100 jeans or take my kids to month long vacations in Europe. I don't think women should dumb themselves down to get a man's attention. I vote every chance I get. I don't spend or live beyond my means. I do think things would be better if we instilled some values from the 50's era. I am disgusted with the selfishness of our country. I am not a size 0 supermodel, but I do have something to say about this world we live in.

Misleading millions.....#1 jerk

2007-06-01T14:07:00.000-05:00

Maybe this jerk can explain it to us better so we understand? He hates to see bums on the streets when he is trying to get to church on Sunday mornings...remember.

2007-06-01T14:01:00.003-05:00

America is forced to make them rich

2007-06-01T13:32:00.000-05:00

Because of this very uneven distribution of money, we are forced to make companies like "walmart" rich. Where else can we afford to buy a bottle of laundry soap. Not at $6.25 an hour. No way can you buy a $6 dollar bottle of laundry soap at your local retailer, if you can buy it at this life sucking hole. This company is also responsible for telling consumers what they need. The result, America buys into it, and "they" get rich. Everyone should watch the "High cost of low prices" movie if they really want to know what pigs really are. These majorities rule our country. All the decisions are made for us. It seems there is nothing more we can do..........?

The high cost of war

2007-06-01T13:21:00.000-05:00

It is always good to know the reasons for the war. Another great effort by our American government to cover up the fact of their greed. A lot of blood has been shed for oil. No other reason. Point blank truth! OIL. We aren't helping Iraq in any way, except gaining control of their oil. Nixon got impeached for less. What is the deal with this administration. Do they have a stronghold over people. Or is it that people are too scared to stand up for what they believe in. I can't imagine people are proud that we are fighting a war for financial gain of the certain interested parties. It is not like this oil control is going to help the American people in any way other than ultimate control of prices over the American people.

Only they care if you buy into that crap.....

2007-06-01T12:44:00.000-05:00

If you buy into this hollywood mania, the "no think holding cell", than you just make these companies richer. Than how can we complain about the price of gas, or a gallon of milk? We have asked for this decline of our country by buying into this fantasy world. Every dime we spend on these "ideas" that they put into our heads, is one more dime they can add to their pocket. That is why this hollywood facade rules our country. People have lost touch with real issues, only to be told by the media which issues to devote all attention to. Being told by society which clothes to buy, which books to read, what programs to watch on t.v., what car is cool to buy, what clothes to buy our kids. When will we Americans take back what is rightfully ours.....the right to choose and be independent thinkers. Thinking for ourselves on what we think is right, and not the media or hollywood, would slowly drive back the country, to where our forefathers originally planned it to be.

We can all start by stop buying into this crap!!!!

2007-06-01T12:32:00.000-05:00

Hollywood is not real! As the human race, we have to care about our country and the issues facing our society. Blockbuster movies, are not a reflection of our lives! They are a facade, an escape to not think about problems. A teenage mother living in a back alley, is not going to have her life positively influenced with life changing lessons by a Hollywood movie.

We are at war....so let's go shopping?

2007-06-01T12:25:00.001-05:00

As Americans, are we desensitized by horrors, or is it that most people only care about themselves?

Top story of Fox News

2007-06-01T12:14:00.000-05:00

A rich person's missing dog. Are you kidding me? All the issues facing our country, and all they can talk about is a missing dog.

Everyone seems to just care what this idiot does, and not the real issues!

2007-06-01T12:11:00.000-05:00

Maybe she can cash in on some of her daddy's stock if times get hard. Hate to live without her $400 nightly face cream.

This is where the working class poor will soon live

2007-06-01T12:03:00.000-05:00

Not worrying about putting $100 dollars in the gas tank of his suburban is he?

The next great depression

2007-06-01T11:36:00.000-05:00

Milk is gonna go up to $4 a gallon. I was wondering if the cows wanted fair labor wages? What ? I suppose at $6.25/hour, most people are gonna stop buying milk for their kids. Not everyone is on welfare, and can just go to the store and get whatever they want for dinner. It makes me mad. It all has to do with the price of gas, but this gas thing is effecting everything. I know everyone is probably talking about gas hikes all over the country, but it is ridiculous. Without raising minimum wage, people will not be able to survive. People have gotten so use to living this comfortable life style (with their credit cards) that they cannot make it paying more than their minimum payment each month. These poor women who are single moms probably have it the worst. They have to use at least half of their paycheck to put gasoline in their cars, to get to a job that only pays a little above minimum wage. Then you have the price gouging of the gas and electric companies to boot. How is someone suppose to pay their rent or house payment, pay their gas and electric bill, pay their telephone bill and what have you, and still have any money left over to buy a gallon of milk at $4 a gallon. Whatever! We are slowly headed for a recession. The second great depression. Only the rich will survive it. I'm not rich, nor do I ever want it. Why would I want to be rich, so I can watch others suffer while I buy a $500 handbag. I would be tortured daily in my mind. No thanks! Better to have your family and health, than an extra buck or two. Pray that God gives you enough to survive, but not too much that you forget him. If everyone lived like this, compassion would be the ruler.

THE LIFE OF THE THRIFTY

2007-05-29T15:23:00.000-05:00

There are friends of my family (whom I will discuss later on in more detail) are the strangest birds I've ever known. Frugal to the T. They find the weirdest ways to save money.
There father grew up in a poor polish family, that were pig farmers. He had to spit in his food, so that none of the other children would eat his share of food. Later on in his life, he married the prom queen. Strange huh? Well anyhow, she was willing to accept his strange ways of life and his quick easy steps to save on cash.
Throughout the time that I have known them, they have done some of the most shocking things to save a buck or two. A great example is their prominent use of dumpsters for diving. They wait at night when stores have shut down for the evening, and they send in the smallest member of their crew to examine the finds. You would be amazed at the things they have found inside dumpsters. Mostly grocery stores, are required by law, to throw away food the day it expires. My friends retract this food, and support their households with throw away food. Most of the time, this food is in great condition, and tastes just fine. I am a little cautious of consuming meat or dairy products that have been thrown away, but I don't mind other finds.
Another example of their thriftiness is their restriction of electricity. For the seven years that I have known them, I have only known for them to have maybe one light on in the house at a time for a limited time. They made a sun-roof in their kitchen, to catch the sun for use in their kitchen, and they never have anything running most of the time in the day. At night, all the lights are shut off, and maybe the television would run for about an hour. Their electricity bill runs about $12 a month. Could you imagine having a electricity bill that low.
They reuse everything from milk jugs to plastic silverwear. Where most people would think nothing of it, to throw these things away and purchase more, they faithfully wash these items for reuse in the future. These plastic containers they have saved, can be used for them to restore food that has not been eaten in the refridgerator. Not much goes in their trash. Any uneaten food gets put away, no matter how small the quantity.

Memorial day weekend

2007-05-27T15:28:00.000-05:00

Well, this could be the best time to plant your garden. I bought some ferns to plant in my backyard. Nothing grows back there, it is like a playground for moles. I have still to find the cure of why those things love my , cause the dirt stops the blades. I feel like a jerk, so I turn around to make sure no one sees me. I am feeling like the neighbors are watching thinking "stupid woman she can't even mow". Fortunately, no one sees me and I restart the mower. It is funny how we plant stuff in the garden. I love to plant things, but I wonder sometimes why I planted certain things. Like chamomile, I planted it last year in my garden, thinking that it would be great for tea. Well, I didn't have time for tea ( or didn't take the time). The pleasure I did get off the chamomile, was it smelled terrific. I would pluck off the flower tops and smell them over and over, like a child. The smell reminded me of bubblegum.
If you want your garden over runned by a so called herb, I suggest lemon balm. It smells very nice, but that stuff will over take your garden in one season. It is even growing in the backyard, and the lemon balm was originally planted in the front. Why couldn't my bleeding hearts spread all over the yard like that. Oh no, it has to be something like lemon balm that is ruling my yard (that or dandelions). I actually heard you could pluck off the tops of dandelions and batter and deep fry them, and they taste terrific. I haven't tried it, but I am sure it does. I have had dandelion leaves in salad, and they just taste like leefy greens.
I planted some tomatoes, squash, radishes, cucumbers, sunflowers, green peppers, and hopefully soon hot peppers. I bought all my plants at Menards, I thought that I would give them a try. Seems like Walmart, has some of the cruddiest plants ever. The plants I have bought there last a few days and start dying. Low prices always, cruddy plants always. That is another subject, another day "Walmart". Suppose I could get sued for rambling about them. Well land of the free maybe I should.

See what my husband can do!

The life of the poor

2007-05-25T22:27:00.000-05:00

I have been a waitress for 14 1/2 years. Ouch! I am so sick of waiting on people I could scream. It is not like everyone is jerks, just most of them. I have had the most outlandish experiences, waiting tables. It seems like the higher end the customer, the more irritation. The other night I waited on this lady, she wanted this, and that, which is okay, but, she goes to pay and she gives me her credit card, and she sets her purse down. I quickly look over at her purse as I am running her credit card through the machine, and I notice that her handbag is "Prada". I immediately think "wow", as I stare at what a "Prada" bag looks like. I would never have known, without the big "Prada" logo on the front. Anyhow, she tells me thank you for everything, and that everything was excellent. I bid her farewell, and go to their table to clean it off, and low and behold there is a big whopping two dollar tip on the table. Now, the first thing that immediately comes to my mind is, way to save money for your next "Prada" bag, by jerking your waitress. What the heck was that? People can afford a "Prada" bag, but they can't afford to at least leave a 20% tip. I, however, am not going to buy a "Prada" bag with the great donation she put forth my way. Well the life of a poor person is how it goes. Note: the best tippers, are the poor. Thank you working class poor, for your understanding.

Abbie and I

Vacation is here!

2007-05-25T14:14:00.000-05:00

My kids are officially out of school. Oh boy! You parents know the fun that is gonna bring. I love my kids, but they are 11 months apart in age, and fight constantly about everything. I need a huge list for them, of things to do, besides irritate. For some strange reason, kids today, you have to tell them things to do. It is like they have no imagination left. When I was a kid, I would go build forts, or play army games or make up a pretend game, or play dungeons and dragons or something. My kids and kids in general, are losing touch with their imaginations. It is probably from all the input they get everyday. Too much television, or video games, too much fast paced action all the time, but none of it involves their interaction. All they have to do is sit there and be entertained. One could say, "well you should restrict or limit the uses of these luxuries". Yes I could, but I think the damage is there. Even toys for kids are targeted at instant gratification. My kids were born into an era of "soma" using thinkless tribes. I hope through my prepping (and nagging) my children will eventually see through this facade that corporate america has put in front of our kids. BUY! BUY! BUY! no matter if you can afford it or not......but that is another topic for another day.

TOP TEN REASONS WHY I'M FAT (AND DON'T CARE)

2007-05-24T21:12:00.000-05:00

1. Everywhere you look there are toothpick women. They don't eat much and if they do, it is four skittles and a stalk of celery.

2. Once you are size 12, the next size up is 14, and they consider this plus size. LOL

3. I cannot (repeat cannot) get full off a small salad and a piece of meat that is the size of the palm of your hand.

4. I don't think they make light beer any lighter than what I am drinking.........as I write.

5. I am completly comfortable with laying down on the bed, sucking in my gut, to button up my pants.

6. When I see these women compulsively exersising (this word is also related to the word exorcism) I feel sorry for them, that they need something else to do like cleaning their own home instead of their maid.

7. These so called "thin women" spend most of their time tending to themselves, and the way they look, that they forget about everything else in life, except themselves.

8. Jared from subway is still ugly no matter how much weight he loses.

9. Nothing is cuter than a baby pig, even if he is covered in mud.

10. I can ultimately blame the media for making people think that they have to look or act a certain way. I guess you have to be skinny, blonde and stupid to be a news castor.

*Ladies just remember that there is a beautiful quality about every woman, no matter how heavy she is or what she looks like. You cannot say that about men. LOL sorry guys. There is just something about women, that men don't have. A beauty, that only God created.
I am a size 12, and not the most beautiful woman in the world, but, I can honestly say, that I love myself. I can find beauty in myself beyond the media and magazines. DO NOT READ THOSE STUPID MAGAZINES IN THE GROCERY AISLE WHILE YOU ARE WAITING TO CHECK OUT. IN FACT, TURN THEM AROUND, SO OTHER WOMEN DON'T SEE THE COVER. IF YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO PREVENT ONE TEENAGE GIRL FROM THINKING SHE WAS INADEQUATE IN THE WORLD'S EYES, YOU SHOULD DO IT.
