Cement Floors???

I watch House shows on HGTV. Can't say I understand why anyone would want polished cement floors for actually flooring. Can you say back issues in the very immediate future?? I'm know psychic but I do see it.

Family Court????

I watched Dr.Phil about a week ago. The topic was about family court. A young mother was talking about how she told a judge that the father of her baby threatened both of their lives and he needed to have his visitations revoked or at least, the very least, supervised. The judge accused her of lying not once but many times. And his visitations continued. Now where is this precious baby??? Dead and so is his father because the father killed them both!!!!
I was shocked and then pissed right off. Of course, this is not the first time the court system has failed and I'm lumping the almighty judges in that category.
Children are dying because some judges are not listening. I agree with Dr. Phil, we can't paint all judges with the same brush stroke. There are some who do their job. Because it is a job. But the one I mentioned in the beginning was not doing his job. His decisions were not based on all the evidence and he showed blatant disregard for a baby's life. He should take responsibility for what he has done. And his weak attempt at an apology obviously showing no remorse is a slap to the face of that baby's family.
As far as I'm concerned he should be charged with his death. He was no different than an accessory.

Mailman........

My mailman constantly, continually, all the time getting my mail wrong. The post office expects each person to put their name and full address, including 911# on the envelope. OK. So what's the problem after that??? Where the hell is it going??? I figure it's a relative not far from here. We can't stand each other. It's a mutual thing. So if my mail is going there I know I would never see it despite the fact the person has a completely different address than me. And who cares if that is against the law!!!!
I've complained at the post office but to no avail. It continues.
Any other job, except for a weatherman, a person would get fired for non-stop screw-ups. Apparently he gets benefited for a poor work ethic.

Oil Spill................

BP hasn't figured out how to stop the oil spill....give me a break!!!! Don't be drilling if the highly paid team hasn't bothered to foresee ANY possible problem that could arise in the future. BP fucked up big time and so far they've done squat to rectify the situation. Our world is being destroyed because of greed.....the all mighty buck. Now don't we all feel special.
There was a quote I read once that always stuck with me but I forget the author. "WE DIDN'T INHERIT THE EARTH FROM OUR ANCESTORS, WE BORROWED IT FROM OUR CHILDREN."
So true.
I think the BP bigwigs who make all the decisions should be charged with something .....like being so stupid to cause such an assault against Mother Earth. Look at the destruction their greed caused us all!!!!
PLUG THE DAMN HOLE!!!!!!

New Products

My beef today......how many products can the population handle??? Come on...how many different choices of Tide detergent does the world really need??? Or Sunlight or air freshners or mayonaise or cell phones...... And who really wants anything smelling like lavender and vanilla. Good Lord what a combination. All these various smells are a weak attempt at aromatherapy. Very weak since the smells don't even come close to the real thing. Probably because there are so many chemicals in everything. If anybody is getting headaches out there and you buy this kind of stuff....there's the culprit right there. Try using the real thing....real essential oils. The smells are natural, wonderful and they actually help cure problems that ail you. Quit creating make-work-projects and get back to the basics and stop changing everything. It ends up being worse. We're supposed to be creating a society with less garbage so stop creating things that become obsolete and fill up the dumps.
Ok so I got a couple of beefs in that one. As long as somebody is listening I don't care.

Gripe for June 8 2010

Little tired of gravel truck drivers that think they own the road and will run over top of anyone in their path. Guess what guys, you're not the only ones on the road so BACK OFF!!!!!!!! That's why there are speed limits because you jerk offs couldn't stop on a dime and the rules of the road apply to you too including red lights!!!!!!!

Daily Rant for May 31/2010

OK I wonder who gave driver licenses to some of the people out there. These people driving around like nobody else is out there on the road, like we're mirages or something. Especially the ones in the over sized Tonka trucks attempting to intimidate anyone smaller than them. All of them going to fast and chanting "Get out of my way before I run you over!!" Too many men who haven't grown up or they forgot where the brake pedal is or they're too busy talking on their cell phones or Cb's, paging one another because they're too bored to stay focused on the damn road so the rest of us get chosen to play a nice game of pedestrian pinball.

GROW UP!!! And pretend that every driver around you is your grandmother. Is that how you would treat your grandmother???

Lies.....

Why does someone who claims to love you continue to lie repeatedly??
Wouldn't it lead you to wonder what is being hidden from you to the point you don't care anymore?? Detesting the energy surrounding you in your own home. Not even listening to what he does say because the truth is not present 90% of the time, not receiving any assistance with the children he helped to create, and basically ignoring you until he wants you to do something for him. Don't look this way Pal!!!!

Secrets Part II

Secrets continue to be a problem. I guess its too much to ask to hear the truth.

What's With That??

The problem that set me off today is me thinking I'm having a civil conversation with my sister about kids hockey of all things and then she's all upset from a question I asked, causing us both to leave in a huff. How long she holds this current grudge remains to be seen.

But I notice that with too many people lately ....normal conversation is few and far between. They all seem to be in a bitch!! What's with that??

Time to take a happy pill. Figuratively not literally!!

I can't handle all this bitchiness. No wonder I get a tendency to stay to myself.

Cheer up people!!!!!

Where is the Common Sense??

I was just watching the beginning of Dr. Phil before my son arrived home from school when Dr. Phil announced the topic of today's show -- a 12 year old girl was arrested for writing in washable marker on her desk.

OK......which part is more stupid??

That the school didn't just get the girl to wash the desk ..... maybe even give her a detention for her very weak attempt at vandalism

OR

that the police arrested her ?!?!?!

I know Dr. Phil and the girl's lawyer explained there's a law about spray can graffiti with damages over $250 in New York. First glance would tell anybody actually thinking that this doesn't come close.

I think the police need to focus more on the drug dealers, murderers, rapists and pedophiles, you know, the ones actually committing crimes instead of harassing a 12 year old who likes to write. Now the already congested court system is plugged even more by an educational department who is going overboard in the control department. I hope they are actually teaching the 3 R's since they are showing the student body how NOT to use common sense.

Give your head a shake.

Survivor Update......

I'm like two weeks behind but no worries this will catch us all up.

The teams took a totally different approach to the hidden immunity idol this time. The villains agreed to throw it away.....well except for Russell and the Heroes scrambled to find it. Go figure.

Did anyone see James all slicked up for that reward challenge?? Talk about sizzle. Whoa Baby!!!

The Heroes just about won the immunity challenge..... just about but too close is not close enough.

First blind side goes to Cirie. JT screwed her over again!!! At least she wasn't bitter about it.



LAST EPISODE

I got a major problem with the challenge.
Who the hell would want to eat JUST chocolate when you haven't eaten anything but fish, rice and water (oh sorry can't forget boiled chicken)for the last like 15 days. Yeah real good choice for the body. I wasn't surprised the guys weren't overly enthusiastic about the reward. I wouldn't touch the junk either. Puking and diarrhea sounds like an excellent after dinner activity. So Jeff didn't need to get all pissy about it with Colby. Big deal!!! Chocolate!!! YECH!!!

Poor James got hurt. OK so why didn't Colby get to step in and take over after James was forced to leave? He was sitting right there. Talk about bullshit!!! And then Jeff goes on and on about the villains winning again. DUH!!! They were ahead with an extra player. No Einstein thinking on that one.

Normally, Jeff doesn't piss me off but that one definitely got me yipping at the TV screen.

JT better be careful, he's starting to scramble and since he's already won $1 million, I guess that's no surprise.

The Heroes are always ahead on any challenge and then they lose it at the last second. They better get their act together or their tribe will be gone.

Can't wait to see Boston Rob and Russell butt heads tonight.

GO HEROES GO!!!!

Jesse James.........Enough Said

Jesse James..........yes, enough said. He's earned the Prick Award for the month. In my opinion his prickish behaviour is equal to Tiger Woods and the rest of the male population who can't seem to keep their pants on and the sluts who are looking for notoriety by sleeping with them.

I'm really not sure how he can live with himself while Sandra said time and again about how wonderful he was and she believed he had her back, not to mention going to bat for him so he got custody of his child. Nice.....real nice.

Survivor......

Survivor ..... enough said. You either love it or you hate it. I lean towards the love it side but I definitely wouldn't be crazy enough to sign up. Going to a basically deserted location on an island with nothing warm to wear during the night...especially on those rain soaked days and sleep on bamboo all the while playing mind games with the rest of the players who are a bunch of people you wouldn't associate with anyways on a good day and vice versa. Sounds like fun. All to get a 1 in 20 shot of winning one million bucks. No thanks.

But I am enjoying this season of Heroes versus Villains.

I was really surprised Stephanie was voted off so early, agreeing with James where the nobody was shutting up to listen to JT point. But yes, he did go over the top, yipping at her at tribal council.

Who the hell pulled Stephanie's arm so hard it was yanked out of its socket?? Somebody needs a chill pill.... pronto!!!

The heroes seemed so in sync for the first couple of days and then they lost the second challenge.....

Listening to Russell go on and on, bragging about him being the best player is boring. So far he hasn't proved it especially when he made the decision to go after the immunity idol after the rest of the tribe agreed they would all get rid of it when found. And what's with him and Pavarti at night sleeping so close when he's married!!!!

Not really sorry to see Randy go so soon with his constant sunny disposition or lack there of.

Coach goes on and on with tears even about how the rest of them don't possess the integrity that he does. He then tells Randy he would write down Pavarti's name before he would write Randy's. Well I know how to say LIAR!!! Talk about hypocrite. He wrote Randy's name down. The whole world saw it. So the dragon slayer needs to shut up about how his supposed morals and admit he's just like the rest of them.

Now that I critiqued the first 3 episodes, I need to end there. Because unfortunately, I have not as yet watched last weeks. It's next of my to do list.

Olympics

Right off the bat, I loved the Olympics. Loved them!!!! Except for the unexpected death of an athlete the day before the games began. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I believe the committee should have foreseen such an incident occurring. Now maybe they will be better prepared.

My biggest disappointment out of the whole games was watching the Men's and Women's Hockey. No, not about Canada winning. No way! I'm ecstatic about their gold medal wins. Yeah Canada!!! No, I'm talking about watching the US teams sulking over the second place win. The majority of them were sulking. But they shouldn't sulk too much. After all, they earned the silver. Maybe that wasn't good enough. Most of them couldn't bring themselves to say 'thank you' when they were being handed the medal for goodness sakes. That's rude.

These people are supposed to be adults and they were acting like a bunch of 5 year olds. Sorry, that's putting down 5 year olds because there are 5 year olds who behave WAY better than the US players.

Not exactly good sportsmanship which is what the Olympics are supposed to be about.

Truth ....can you tell it???

The pet peeve for today is when I listen to somebody tell me a story about something that happened to them. With each telling of the story, small details keep changing....small but noticeable details. Transforming the story until resembles nothing of the original. And with that the person defends the newest made up version as absolute fact. That's annoying and disturbing.

Pay attention to those little white lies because they soon turn into complete works of fiction and you will begin to question anything and everything.

Tiger Woods

OK, here's my two cents about the whole Tiger Woods thing. I'm in shock....another husband caught screwing around on his wife. That's what about the 1000th one this month alone.
Does anybody remember Halle Berry's second husband?? He seemed to possess the same problem. Nobody probably remembers him. Probably because he wasn't as well known as Tiger Woods. So I guess with that reasoning the public is supposed to care more. Wrong!!! Another guy caught with his pants down.
Here's a tip guys. If you don't want to deal with the consequences of cheating on your wives, don't CHEAT!!! If you can't stay faithful, don't get married. Addiction or no addiction.
Simple. End of problem.
Besides, whatever happens between him and his wife is private. End of story.
So enough about Tiger Woods already and the rest of us will somehow get on with our lives.

Cell Phones

OK people why is everyone always on the damn cell phone.... talking, texting, whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah..... Get your head up and actually look at the world around you. Ignoring the rest of the world while you talk or text someone you just saw like 5 minutes ago. Give me a break. I don't care how important your job is (if you're daring to use that as an excuse) or how popular you think you are in school. The latest gossip can wait. The message they left you will still be there when you get out of the car!!! That's why God created answering services!!!!

I agree 100% with Oprah......get off the damn phones while you're driving. Nothing is more important than another human life and whatever it is can wait until you get out of the car. If you are stupid enough to think you are superhuman and can take you're eyes off the road for more than 10 seconds do us all a favour ......when you kill somebody save the "I don't know how it happened, I only took my eyes off the road for a second" speech. The family doesn't want to hear it. You killed their loved one. SAVE IT!!!

It's illegal where I live and I thank God everyday for the new law. But yet, there are the ones who pretend to forget as they drive by with their phone stuck to their ears. I hear the fines are pretty big, hope their wallets hold that much cash.

They won't be getting any sympathy in this direction.

Use common sense..............
