YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS!!! OR BE FINED!

It has been estimated that almost 4 Million people will end up paying fines for not getting the mandatory health coverage the government wants us to spend our money on.

If  it will cost you more than 8% of your income you will be exempt because you are lower class. Most all of the upper class who have money still left over to burn at the end of each month will go for the insurance. This leaves those estimated middle class individuals earning below $60,000 or $120,000 if married in the pot that will experience the biggest losses and the most trouble by having to get the insurance.

When they have to give up to 8% of their income for insurance, you will see a lot of these people go bankrupt and lose everything. If they refuse to get it they will be fined anywhere from $600 to $1,000 dollars or more and it will come out of any tax money they expected to get back for that year.

Many of these people need this tax money for necessary repairs to their homes or auto’s. They pay down credit cards and other bills including property taxes with their tax returns. It will hurt these people tremendously.

Isn’t there something that is just plain wrong with the government making you do something or getting fined if you don’t? If this is allowed to happen then what will be the next thing they will be fining us on for our own good?

Exactly what will it be that they will make you spend your hard-earned dollars for next? Even if you can’t really afford it!

This isn’t the way that our government is supposed to work. Did you get to vote on the health care bill? No, neither did anyone else and why not? You weren’t included in the law making process this time. It wasn’t put on a ballot for the American public to vote on. How about next time they want to pass something that makes you pay for something even when you can’t afford it? Will you be included then!

Probably not, since they did it this time, they will most certainly do it again!

This is something that has to be stopped and rather quickly I might add. It’s not the way our government was meant to operate.!

We are the people and we are the government in this country, of which  those elected should all be doing things for the good of everybody and not telling us we have to do something for our own good, that many will unfortunately have to choose not to do and be fined.

That’s Just Plain Wrong!

TAYLOR BOOKER a True Roll-model

A young lady named Taylor Booker is a real hero and should be a real roll-model for young people everywhere.

The story has it that an elderly woman suffering from a stroke, miss-dialed the phone for help and got Taylor’s house instead. She answered the phone and after a few words were spoken, quickly jumped into action, realizing that the person on the other end really needed help.

She grabbed a cell phone, dialed 911, and began relaying information from the lady to the operator. Emergency crews were able to get to the lady’s home quickly and credit Taylor with saving her life.

Way to go Taylor!!! We just wish more young people were as caring and concerned with what happens around them as you are. I hope that you get some type of recognition for your heroic act and please continue being the kind of person you already showed the world you are.

The world would be a much better place, if more young people carried the same outlook on things as you.

Government Bailout for Home Mortgages

Finally the government has instituted a plan with the four big mortgage lenders in the country, and they will be giving many homeowners some much needed help in the months to come.

So remember to call your lenders soon. To save your home.

To bad there is nothing they could do to help the millions who already lost their homes, because they didn’t see how bad off people were until now.

On account of their blindness and delay in action, Millions of lives have been hurt.

Bankruptnooption.
An update to this is that they actually didn’t start helping until years later. What a scam that was. It finally took the president to make them do it.

You better shop those farm markets and produce stands early.

You better get there shortly after they open or it may be slim pickins otherwise.

You see, during a recession everyone learns to fend for themselves and they learn to do things that save them money.

One way to save a huge amount of dough is to shop your local farm or produce markets. They have tons to sell in a very limited time frame and you can get some great deals on produce there.

People usually get all their seedlings, plants and seeds for their gardens there in the early spring also. During hard times there are more people that plant gardens than when times are good and they learn how to can fruits and vegetables just like grandma used to do. So expect to find standing room only this year when you go to get yours.

That’s why I say to visit them early this year, or you may be the one left buying the sour grapes or planting spinach and onions! Hey wait a minute, I like onions, but please hand me a couple of those tomato plants too, would ya!

Bean counters and the Walton’s?

Wow imagine this. The people who keep track of stuff, (I call them bean counters), said that we are returning to the days of the Walton’s.

For those of you who don’t know the Walton’s, they were a TV family back in the Seventies, that had multi generations of their family, living together under the same roof. From great grandparents, down to great grandchildren, they all lived together.

Well that’s what the number guys say, is happening in America as we speak.

I am just going to say this about it. I can’t stand when the number guys come up with something they see happening in their number counting and think that they have just discovered plutonium or something.

Most of the time, if they would get their noses out of the numbers for just a minute and look out a window they would be able to predict their numbers just by watching what is happening in this country!

Listen up number people out there, With all the Unemployment and Home Foreclosures that have taken place over the past year, as MILLIONS of people have lost their homes and have been devastated, it wouldn’t take much of a brain to figure out that many of those individuals had to go live with their relatives for a while, until they can get back on their feet!

So if you ever discover something really significant with your number counting, please let us know, but for now, just keep counting. We know what is going on in America, we weren’t born yesterday you know, but if your numbers ever find out why they still insist on making one ply toilet paper, Please let me know and Shut up John Boy were trying to sleep!

Health Care For Everyone

I just don’t know where I am going with this, but one things for sure, If we let our government make us get health insurance and then let them FINE us if we don’t, there is definitely something wrong in America.

That is exactly what the health bill will do to each person who doesn’t buy health insurance. It will let the government place a fine on anyone who doesn’t purchase health insurance for their-self and their family.

Imagine that, first you are MADE or rather FORCED to buy health insurance for yourself and your family. But if you can’t afford and refuse to buy the coverage required by the government, you will be FINED by them. They probably will withhold your tax refunds or garnish your wages to collect the fine.

For anyone who is pretty well off, this bill is great. For anyone who isn’t hurting and getting by with a few bucks to spare, all the help they give to them may help. But it will hurt MILLIONS of hard working citizens who are really just struggling or have lost their health coverage and MILLIONS more who can’t afford it.

Sure I agree that everyone should have the right to see a doctor when necessary, but to give All Americans, health coverage by making you buy it and be FINED if you don’t is just plain wrong.

It isn’t stepping up to the plate to do what America wanted, let each person be insured even if they can’t afford it and without penalties.

This is the biggest failure of government to do what would be right for the majority of people, that I have ever seen in my lifetime.

THIS IS WRONG PEOPLE! It will hurt the very MILLIONS who don’t have health coverage now because they can’t afford it. It’s not going to hurt the already insured, or the well to do.

I personally know of several times in my life that I couldn’t afford health insurance and didn’t have it. But I wasn’t penalized for not having it!

Now the government, who I guess is now for the rich and it shows, will make anyone who can’t afford health insurance get it or be fined. That isn’t what Health insurance coverage for everyone was supposed to be about.

Many presidents in the past have mentioned health insurance for everyone, and not one ever said, that those who couldn’t afford it, would HAVE to buy it, much less get FINED for not doing so.

The government was supposed to come up with a way to cover those who can’t afford it and not by making them pay for it.

It looks like the government has gone to the rich and they won’t ever give anything to the less fortunate in this country that would really make a difference and really help them to get ahead of where they are at now. That’s why you saw bailouts for WALLSTREET and MILLIONS of hurting people lost their homes, without any offers of help from the government that would have stopped the banks from collecting on those who had lost their jobs because of the recession!

I’m sorry, but you know what anyone who agrees with this health bill can do! You can take your health coverage for everyone and your big fat wallets (money) and shove them you know where!

Bankruptnooption.

Several states already are saying that they will take this to the supreme court as soon as Obama signs the bill. While other states already are circulating petitions, to give the voters the right to stop this from happening in their states.

I guess a lot of people don’t like this kind of lawmaking. Hey!

What are they thinking up there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buncombe County, NC. Teacher is a Loser

In Buncombe County, North Carolina, if you attend the Enka Middle School, then you better get ready for bullying of a whole new level from teacher, Rex Roland.

It seems that he hasn’t learned, that his role is to educate and nurture the students, to bring out the best he can in each and every one and treat them as if they were real human beings.

He writes little derogatory comments on your papers before he passes them back and has been writing these comments as a way to “Relate” with the students.

He has been writing things like this; “-20% FOR BEING A LOSER” and it was double underlined to top it off.

When I once asked a teacher a question that had already been asked and got a derogatory answer back,  no longer speaking to teachers became my own way of showing that the teachers weren’t worth my time. I was told that “I had asked a stupid question because that question had already been asked once”.

Sorry, I must have missed it, I thought to myself as I sat down humiliated, with the 2nd grade class laughing and no real answer given. Right then I decided  never to talk to another teacher again unless made too, and I never did after that, until college! Up to that point, I had looked up to teachers as being the most smartest and caring people on the face of the earth, other than my parents, but the mental anguish from her reply had hurt me deeply.

Most children look up to teachers as being next to their parents, yours do also, because we tell them directly to do what the teacher says and to pay attention to the teacher, and with assertiveness while doing so.

But comments like he is making, are the kind of things that can hurt a child deeply, and for a long long time to boot.

Apparently this has been going on for some time now, with the principal only being able to stop it for a short period, but it has started back again.

The Buncombe county school district says it’s a personnel matter that is being investigated. What a crock of bunk.

If this teacher is not reprimanded hard, for his derogatory and mentally debilitating comments towards young children, then he is getting away with a crime more than bullying and we should pray that he would give up teaching, so as to never hurt the mental well being of another child ever again.

As parents, we place our childrens physical and mental well being in the hands of individuals we don’t know and if a bad one like Rex Roland slips into the system and is allowed to go on hurting children like he is, than we are opening up the school system for other forms of abuse and bullying that we as parents won’t stand for either!

I hope that HER PARENTS LOOK INTO A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY, BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT BUNCOMBE COUNTY HAS FORGOTTEN JUST WHAT INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OUR CHILDREN ARE ENTITLED TOO! And the girl definitely has a case, and it has been allowed to happen repetitively now.

As for the parents who don’t think there is anything wrong with that type of commenting, just think back when you were told something bad, after expecting something good. It hurt you didn’t it? Well it’s time to step up and back the poor girl as she should be, or maybe the next bad note will be directed towards your kid. Then how will your child feel?

Great News!

Great News Everybody, In the US there are 16% more millionaires now, than there was in 2008! And that increase happened during the worst part of the recession. I wonder if the 16% of unemployed and the 16 million people who lost their homes had something to do with those new millionaires, some how. Don’t you think?  Anyway Isn’t that great. Whoo Wee. Yeah. Hoo.

I know what to do. All of the unemployed out there, rush down to the boat docks and to the country clubs of America and lets all celebrate with them.

Yea right, they’d have some big security guard throw you out on your ear and we all know it. Besides, if anyone did get in, you already know there wouldn’t be a place for you with your name on it, unless it was the White House and you weren’t supposed to be on the guest list.

You see, those new millionaires  got that way, because they helped fuel a bad recession by putting people out of work in order to make those millions.

As long as that last dollar they cut from laying you off, put them over the top, that’s all that matters. The ironic thing is, that if all of them were asked, I bet there isn’t a single one that would remember your name if they had been the one who let you go.

That’s millionaires and that folks is how much they care about you and how much of a human being they really are to everyone, except their own.

Any millionaires in the crowd care to take a stab at a rebuttal? It’s your stage!

The Government Loves You Fatso! (POP TAX)

Wow, did you ever imagine that the government loves you so much that they would take care of you in every way imaginable. Even in ways they shouldn’t be doing, because that is not why they are there.

Anyway, the new way they have thought of to love everyone, is to put a Fat Tax on many peoples favorite beverage and to tax it so heavily that you will not be able to drink as much because of the high cost. That will cause you to lose weight and be healthier, thus lowering the cost of health care in this country. Fat Tax MY Ass! Or FAT ASS TAX!!! You decide!

Wow, lowering the cost of health care for everyone, when they have been unable to come up with a health care plan for months and months now, that would give coverage to millions who go without it. If you added together all their pays for all the time they have wasted on the health care issue, they wouldn’t need the Fat Ass Tax on pop.

To do it, they are affecting no one but the lower class, because they are the ones who will suffer and skip buying pop, because it will be something else they don’t have money to afford anymore.

I have heard that the average price will go from a national average of $1.70 to $2.37 a two liter + the state deposit on top of that. That is a total jump of only 67 cents per 2 liter bottle. Not to bad Hey! That equals up to only a 40% jump in price. Just drink more BEER, it will be cheaper than pop soon!!!

I wonder why they just didn’t double or triple the price instead. Talk about price gouging, its to bad price gouging doesn’t pertain to taxation or they would end up with hefty fines or community service for even attempting a jump in price like that, but that’s our loving government for us.

Oh yea, that’s right, they already serve their community don’t they! Scratch that, Just throw them all in Jail! Do they have pop in Jail?

Just think America, the next time that you, or your family go out to eat, or to the movies, or bowling, or the fair, or a beach, or a park, or anything fun that we can barely afford to do once in a while now, it will now cost you more. Just Great, I already had to give up my cable TV because I’m turning into a couch potato!

Answer me this, would you! Just what the hell are the kids supposed to drink when we take them to all the fun places anyway? I haven’t seen a good substitute for pop in the same form as a dispensable fountain drink yet, that kids would ask for on a regular basis.  I know……Fountain CoolAid!!! Yea.

Nope, that wont work either, because that has sugar in it too. So how about a good glass of Fountain Water, little Suzie, to wash down that CANDY BAR  and all that PINK COTTON CANDY YOU JUST ATE!!!!!!! (Do you really think that just pop is the problem? What will be next people?)

Through this whole mess, the only thing that hasn’t gone up much in price at all is pop. The manufacturers have cut corners where necessary and have managed to keep their prices stable for the last year unlike most everything else that we buy.

They are about due to have to raise their prices sooner or later and now with the new Fat Tax added to pop first, how is this going to affect them or the price of pop if they raise their prices after the Fat Tax. Maybe they can just lay off more workers, so they don’t have to raise the base price any higher.

It’s no wonder why the government is becoming less and less credible in the eyes of the Hard working Tax Paying, Voting, American Citizens.

Did you catch the Voting part people???????? Huh!!!!!!!!!!!

Now pass me the popcorn and my pop and get the hell out a my favorite chair because I’m ready to watch a little C-Span on cable! I wonder why they don’t put the government channels on regular TV so everyone could watch?

The State Fair Grounds.

The State Fair is a Michigan Institution. The only way to keep it profitable is to downsize, lay out plans and what must be included, minimum, would be to pick a new city to host it each year, if they wish, they could add to it.

For Example, Taylor’s community center is worthy of a state fair. If it were there than I might go. Easy in and easy out. Like most, I dont go to Detroit unless I have to. It’s just too complex for driving, too big and too busy. The people are genuinely great, but I’ll still pass unless your driving!

So dump the fair ground.

As for turning it into an aquarium, Isn’t there a nice one on Bell Isle we discarded to save money? Why not put money into it again instead of starting over.

How about making it a Metro Park so all the homeless can live when Detroit tears down 12,000 condemned homes where they live now. Each person could have their own tree and camp all year. Or go one step further, Make a homeless community and provide showers, toilets and phones. Then more homeless could find jobs. Give each a mail box on the park road with their name so they can get their jury summons and be a real part of society.

Sell it and let a developer put in a Wallmart.

A Gift for his Family.

Just imagine working for a company when you hear that the owner is giving up the business to retire. Wow, I guess the questions would start to fly and you would have to wonder if the new owners would keep you on or not.

Now here is a twist that you never heard of and unless the greed that is sucking American businessmen down the deep end, is broken away from and their business attitudes change, you will never hear of it again and that’s a guarantee.

The twist is that after thinking of selling his business for a while, he decided that he couldn’t see anyone else running the business but his employees, so he decided to give it to the employees, all 300 + of them and not leaving out a single person who is working there.

The man felt that some of his employees were not only loyal, hard working people, but that many of them had been with him right from the start and that they all felt like an extended family to him, so he could see no alternative than to give the business to them.

What an unselfish act of kindness and generosity towards all those people who could have possibly ended up jobless had he sold the business outright.

American businessmen buy and sell businesses left and right in this country, but I have never heard of such a kind act as this. You would have thought that with all of the businessmen who have come and gone you might have heard of something nice like this before now.

What gets me the most is that many businessmen own a lot more than only one business. You would think that with that kind of success, that someone along the line sometime before now would have given one of their businesses to the employees to have for themselves. But greed has always taken over all the owners until Bob came along.

The gift he gave is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to each employee.

I just hope that his story will live on for generations to come and maybe eliminate some of the greediness that American businessmen have, then maybe more workers will be treated as the human beings we are and not the replaceable idiots they look at us as being.

Bob is a real role model for our children and socieety and I hope they learn of it and try to make their workers feel just a little more appreciated in the future.

Thanks Bob for showing the world just what real careing and unselfish generosity really mean.

Warning: The Loan Sharks are Coming!

Hurry, Get Out Of The Credit Pool!! Here come the Sharks.

Loan sharks are people who loan money at extremely high interest rates. They are usually unscrupulous individuals who loan money to needy individuals and expect usually 25% to 50% interest or more.

You must pay it all back, including the interest by a certain date or the interest increases. Failure to repay the debt usually results in property damage or physical harm to you or one of your loved ones.

Well a bank called the First Premier Bank has stepped into the class of being a loan shark. Led by Miles Beacom, CEO of Premier Bankcard and a South Dakota credit card marketer, the bank has decided to offer credit cards to high risk individuals with a $300 credit limit.

They are offering an extremely high interest rate of 59.9 to 79.9 percent annual percentage rate (APR) on these cards.

People, the highest any bank has charged any high risk individuals, is around 25%. They are charging more than three times that rate.

If you were to charge just $100 on the card you would then owe them $80 dollars on top of the hundred you charged and for each hundred that you charge. That is almost double the money you charge. That is more than most unscrupulous loan sharks would charge you and the banks are supposed to be licensed to do a fair business in this country.

OUTRAGEOUS! TO SAY THE LEAST!

Where the hell are all the citizen or consumer watchdog groups or consumer protection agencies in this country when we need them? What about the government stepping in to squash this unfair business dealing. This isn’t right America!

The sad part is that they have sent the offers around to people who are bad at managing credit and probably don’t understand what the term amounts actually mean to them and they said that the return from the offer was almost double over the return they get from their lower interest offers to less risky customers.

I’d say they are definitely sharks taking advantage of a group of consumers, who are definitely ill advised as to whether to accept an offer like that or not.

You know, things are really getting out of hand in the banking world and I sure hope some organization can stop these sharks from feeding on more of the poor people they are targeting with their get rich scheme, that is intended to make high rates like this look normal to everyone, so that more banks can jump their rates to the moon just like they did.

There has to be some kind of consumer law against a business doing something like this to the hard working people in America.  There has to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, or God help us because the next depression will definitely end up being a recession! (That is if we don’t pull out of this one first.)

If your credit isn’t that good, you are better off getting a secured credit card and using that to build up your credit rating.

DO NOT ACCEPT ONE OF THE SHARK CARDS OR YOU WILL BE SHARK BAIT

The New Displaced Workers Guidebook (Michigan) is Out

Well, apparently there is someone in Michigan that does see what is going on and wanted to help. The Dean of the House of Representatives, John Dingell had a displaced workers guide on his site, listing many ways to find help in Michigan.

Problem was, unless you visit his site regularly, most people who are loosing or lost their job will never ever know the guide exists. I never did and I wish I had known about it when I was laid off for 14 months! Well it does exist and it has been revised.

The New displaced Workers Guidebook ( for Michigan) is now available and is like the encyclopedia of  “Where is What” for anyone loosing or who has lost their job.

Moneys Tight. is here to let the country know about things like this. That’s why we are here. We spread the word to you and you pass it on. So pass this on to anyone you know who is down right now and needs a little help.

Thanks Mr. Dingell for helping people when they can use it the most.

I would like to see some of the other states representatives step up to the plate for their citizens who need help badly also. If anyone knows of resources for other states such as this then by all means let us know so we can get the word out to those who need it.

Click the following link to get to the Guide and remember to let anyone who you think may need it, know it is here for them, thanks to the Honorable John D. Dingell. He’s one representative that knows we are all in this together folks!

Haiti – Donate to the Red Cross

Just imagine sitting in the hot sun with dirty crying people all around you. You sit and sit because you have nothing left that you owned but the clothes on your back. Your bed is now a park or a street filled with hundreds of strangers in the same situation as you.

No food, no pillow, no water, no bed except a piece of scrap cardboard pulled from the rubble. Your bathroom is anywhere you can find a space that isn’t near anyone else and totally visible by everyone.

Hunger and thirst start to set in day after day as you hear people constantly fighting for some scraps they found in the rubble. Someone near you offers a little corner of a slice of bread they stole from someone else because they can see that you are starting to get weak.

Deadly fights for anything that is edible or drinkable are the norm now and you don’t have the strength left to fight. You just go over to where the fight took place to look for something edible that may have dropped to the ground during the last fight.

Life has stopped and now you just sit with people you befriended and wait for some help to arrive. All the while looking at a backdrop of death surrounding you, unable to escape the smell of rotting flesh that lingers in the breeze.

One can only imagine what those poor people are going through.

Send every cent you can, to a reputable charity that has pledged to help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake. They surely need it.

Finally after calling in help after trying to get her to move, she was taken to the hospital, seat and all. The woman had to be surgically removed from the seat. Her fatty tissue had actually grown together with the seat material and was a part of her body.

They are investigating to find out why the boyfriend waited 2 years to call in help and whether she was there on her own accord.

Later the man tried lifting several cars the same way and couldn’t budge one of them!

Can adrenalin give someone super human strength or is their really divine intervention? I guess the answer is simple. If you believe, than it was divine intervention, otherwise it was the adrenalin rush that did it.

The sad part is that everyone must always be right and many people can’t face the facts that they choose wrong, even if it is proven.

Alert paper delivery man saves 93-year-old man…..

Cristal Shaw, a 40-year-old news delivery man, noticed that the papers had collected on an elderly gentleman’s porch for three days. Recognizing this as unusual, he notified police and they found the man alive with a broken hip, after he laid on the bathroom floor for three days. The man is recovering in the hospital.

This goes to show you how some people will react in peculiar situations. Some will put forth more thought and effort, acting upon what they feel, where some just continue through their regular paces. Had it not been for this observant and very intelligent man acting upon his intuitions, the elderly gentleman could have died before being found.

I feel that Cristal Shaw deserves an award from the city that he delivers in. He is truly a person who cares about others and his job and is a good role model to follow. HATS OFF Cristal, You Deserve It!!!!!

What happened with the Asian Fish poisoning project?…..

Last week they were supposed to poison a section of a river, to stop the spread of Asian Carp. Since then I have not heard a word as to what happened or if it worked or not.

Anyone Know?

The polar ice caps could melt in 5 years…..

Wow, just imagine what will happen to all that wild life. Many animals will die or become extinct if they don’t find land and learn to adapt real quick to their new environment, which is highly unlikely.

The bad thing about it is that we are not doing a thing to save any of the affected wildlife right now from becoming extinct. If we start now and start putting them in zoos and transferring them to similar climates we may be able to save a few or even a few species, before it’s to late.

Metro Detroit area unemployment estimated at around 50%…..

I just heard it estimated that the unemployment rate was about 50% for the Metro Detroit area.

Type Detroit blight in The YOU TUBE search box and check out some of the videos. You will fall off your chair when you see the vast areas full of dilapidated houses and businesses. And that’s just what some brave souls filmed while chancing to drive through the area.

Go ahead and check them out, you will utterly be amazed!!!!!

Teens find baby and hear from her twenty years later!…..

Twenty years ago two teens found a newborn baby on a porch step and turned it over to the police. They gave the baby a teddy bear at the hospital where she was being checked out to see if she was OK.

Time passed and a couple adopted the baby. The baby got older and never knew she was found abandoned, until one day she read a cutout article her adopting mom had saved, explaining how she had been found and by who.

Wanting to thank and see the teens who found her she ended up finding them on Facebook. She emailed them and yes she had found them. The rest is history.

Imagine the emotions that were flowing at that reunion! Thank ‘you for good kids who decided to step in and do the right thing. They are the reason for the happiness that came from a bad situation to begin with. If only everyone taught their kids that well! What a place this would be to live.

A child full of pins and needles?…..

Apparently, a father while seeing a woman who he said had cast a spell on him, had inserted Almost two hundred needles through the skin of his child, over a period of time.

The child was x-rayed for some reason and that’s when it was discovered.

Father arrested, and doctors slowly over time are removing the needles but some involve the heart and the lungs so the doctors have to figure out what to do.

Now folks, I had repaired some plumbing for a friend a month or so ago and cut my palm while doing so, not realizing what actually happened.

I spent the last month after the cut scabbed over, in extreme pain any time I would use or flex my right palm. Just the other day after rubbing the scab hard because that’s what I thought the pain was from, it fell off and there was a little black speck underneath it. I scraped it with my finger nail and lifted up a copper splinter just over a quarter inch in length and pointed inward towards the knuckle where your fingers join the hand. I pulled it out and treated the wound.

Now it is well, but that splinter gave me a little taste of what that child must feel with all those needles inside and under his skin. I can’t imagine how that child could have moved a muscle or functioned, much less than consider the pain inflicted by his father while doing this to his child.

All I have to say is, an EYE FOR AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH AND A NEEDLE FOR A NEEDLE!!!!!!

I feel that only locking up this sorry excuse for a human being for however long, just isn’t good enough for all the pain he caused his child to experience in his young and fragile life to this point.

What about you?

Secret Santa’s…..

Well the Secret Santa’s are at it again. They are a group of well to do guys that run around at Christmas time and give out $100 dollar bills to people who look like they need it.

All they ask of you is that you pass on a simple act of kindness to someone else.

Don’t hold your breath though. You have a better chance of hitting the lottery than running into a Secret Santa!

I guess the thought is nice though!

…..Tiger Woods

…..Michigan Smoking Ban

…..Three year old kills self with gun

Here’s the News;

Tiger Woods…..

Wow is about all I can say. Isn’t it amazing how the all the media, TV and radio personalities have jumped on the band wagon with this story! Wow, I don’t think that there is one person in the U.S. or abroad who hasn’t heard about this story, somewhere.

It has hurt his life and fame tremendously and he will never be able to completely erase the slate, ever. So either stick with him or against him, but the ball is already rolling with what the fallout will be from his actions, so either back him or forget him, but let’s get him out of the news already. Let’s get the spotlight back on Washington and the economic crisis which hasn’t gone away yet and will be around a lot longer.

Michigan Smoking Ban…..

Well people, we just lost another right to a privilege here in Michigan. If the Governor signs the bill, than as of May of 2010, there will be no more smoking in any public place in Michigan, except at a Smokers store that sells tobacco products. Maybe.

What seems to be happening though, is that the smokers are more and more willing to give up alcohol also.

More smokers that talk about loosing their privilege to smoke legally, in a smoking section just for them, as it has been for years, are now saying that they should push for a ban on alcohol because of the all the health related complications it causes, along with all the domestic trouble and deaths it has caused from drunk driving.

Imagine that! The people who don’t smoke, care enough for the smokers health and their own, to want smokers to stop smoking and the smokers actually are starting to care enough for the health of those who drink, along with their own safety, that they in turn are talking about working on a full-blown campaign to start eliminating alcohol from public places.

Wow, what a caring world we live in! Now doesn’t all this caring leave you feeling just a bit warm and fuzzy all over!

Three year old kills self with gun…..

This is a case involving immediate family members.

I guess a three-year old child visiting their 43-year-old grandmother, wandered out of sight in grandmas house while visiting her and got a hold of the loaded pistol she kept for protection at night.

The unfortunate child is not with their loved ones any longer, and they are grieving heavily as anyone who lost a child or grandchild would be.

With a society as huge as ours (over 300 million +) we can expect to hear this a couple of times a year at least, with or without gun laws and with or without the gun owner and victim being close relatives.

Do you think that grandma loved the little child so much, that she will live each one of her remaining days on earth, persecuting herself for the stupid mistake, that took her dear grandchild’s life in such a tragic manner? Do you think that every time she hears of someone else on the news that made the same mistake, she will die a little more inside because of her tragic memories? Do you think that locking her up will prevent this from ever happening again? Would the millions of dollars spent in incarcerating these people, be better spent on gun education material and an ongoing preventative advertising campaign that is similar to the one for drug abuse and addiction?

You take it from here people-

…..AN ACT OF KINDNESS.

…..The New Raisin Girl.

Now here is the news.—

AN ACT OF KINDNESS….. I caught a neat story of an act of kindness that was completely from the heart. It seems that a woman was going to take the money for her mortgage payment and help out her daughter by sending the money to her for food for her and her kids, as they had recently discussed in a prior phone conversation. The big problem is that she would have fallen into foreclosure by not paying the mortgage that month.

So she calls her daughter and starts telling her that she is sending the money for food and finds out that she has dialed a wrong number and gotten someone else instead.

The lady she got (Virginia Saenz) was so taken by the meaningful words and explanation about the money, that she told the lady she was going to buy the food for her daughter so she could make her mortgage payment.

Virginia then called the daughter and asked what she needed and the reply was for just a couple of things which told her they really needed a lot. So she and her fourteen year old son went shopping Thanksgiving morning and bought the fixings for a complete turkey dinner and enough groceries to last until the daughter got some more money.

The groceries were given and Virginia Saenz said “I think it’s what anybody would have done.” end of story.

Wow, you just don’t find kind people like that too much anymore, and I think that Virginia Saenz should be honored for the act of kindness that she showed to a fellow human being in need and who was a total stranger to her, besides!

Wow again! Just stop and think what a better world it would be if more people would do what they could for people who are truly in need!

The New Raisin Girl…..

The girl on the raisin box is being changed to a more modern looking girl from now. I guess a lot of people who eat raisins are not happy with the change.

I will add a poll somewhere and the votes will tell.
