Smoke and Mirrors

Starting "anew"........................................

2011-05-19T10:25:00.000-07:00

Well, we seem to have "found" him. There are still so many things to rant about. After a long time away- I must get my thoughts in order and prepare for the onslaught............

The New Crusade......................

2010-09-09T06:36:00.000-07:00

Well it seems there's is a New Crusade. And behind this one as the ones before is Religion and Money. What do these two things have in common you ask ? They both fund Politics. For as long as there has been these three things we will have WAR.

A Couple of News Articles from Internet................

"Mankind found Not Guilty of Mammoth Murder". That's what it said. Seems we have been wrongfully accused of a murder of a great creature. Seems it was climate change that got Mr. Woolly. But what about those pictures you see of cavemen spearing a Mammoth? LIES ! ! ! ! I think we, "mankind", deserve an apology for all those years growing up thinking we were the culprits of this crime. Plainly we were set up to feel guilt and shame for something we had no part in. Sure, maybe a few cavemen harrassed a mammoth here and there, but does it warrant a picture in every World History book ?? Another. "New $1 Coin Adds to $700 Million Boondoggle" What is wrong with the way our money looks now? I think it is a way to slowly introduce us to the new universal currency that many have stopped talking about. There's a lot of things that you never really hear about anymore. Nothing on 9/11 and how it looked like an inside job. The fact that we still can't get Bin Ladin, the gas prices, etc,etc.

"Red Wire, Blue Wire" ???????????????

2010-08-10T12:27:00.000-07:00

Why is it when you get an auto-response system it's like disarming a bomb. By the time you get to the last, what they like to call "prompts", I forgot what the first one was and have to go through the whole damn menu again. Then, even when I make a selection I'm not sure if I answered the question right and have to go through a new menu of "Are these responses correct?" for each question I was already not sure if I answered right in the first place. Oh, and to add to the chaos they ask questions that are "YES and NO". It's like passing a Bill through Congress, minus the free hunting trip to Texas to shoot some animal from some other country that has no business being there in the first place. And yes, that is a hit on lobbyists. I swear, how can these people walk in sunlight ? OK, off topic- sorry. To hell with it, I'll cut the BLUE wire.........................

"We're going to need a bigger boat"

2010-08-07T10:19:00.000-07:00

Two Headlines that caught my attention today as I wonder through AOL. I'll see if I can get the links on here. 6 Americans Killed on Medical Mercy Mission in Afghanistan. Strange, we offer Humanitarian Aide to everyone but ourselves and it seems to be encouraged by our Government. Am I the only one who notices this? Could it be the Corporations that fund these "Missions of Mercy" get tax breaks, and , the government can use the "See, they killed our civilians" defense to justify being there. If you want to do a "Mercy Mission" do some volunteer work here at home. Instead of "shelling" out millions of $$ to a foreign country. Put it back into your community.http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/6-americans-among-foreign-doctors-killed-in-afghanistan/19584827. The other "Another Bruising Month for U.S. Labor Market". No kidding didn't I go over this already? http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/careers/july-jobs-report-unemployment-remains-high/19583596/

What's Next ?

2010-08-06T14:10:00.000-07:00

OK. BP to drill again, social security going in the "red". What the hell has the people we elect to run this country done? Oh, wait--- we don't elect CEO's and board members of corporations, do we? You know- maybe you should watch a movie- "ROLLERBALL" a 1974 movie that took place in the future where Corporations were in control around a game. HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Then "SOLENT GREEN"- hope I spelled that right. Why do most of the movies from the 70's seem to spell our future. I hope I'm not here when it gets to "LOGANS RUN". My crystal would be turned to ash by now. Don't even get me started on 2012. That's a later date. GOOD LUCK. (any misspellings are not my fault)

Beenie Weenies

2010-07-31T08:20:00.000-07:00

The best way to make beenie weenies is as follows. You will need :
1 pack of Hot Dogs
1 16 oz. Bake Beans (whichever flavor does it for you )
1 slice of cheese

On a microwave safe plate cut the hot dogs into peices 1/4 in. and place in microwave for about 1 min. Move them around and cook again for about 45 sec. (Make sure not to burn, microwaves vary). Set aside and put the bake beans, slightly drained, in a slightly covered microwave safe bowl (those things "splatter") and cook for 2 min. or until steaming (remember, microwaves vary). Stir and place slice of cheese on top then hot dogs. Cook for 1 min. Stir to blend cheese, baked beans, and hot dogs. Serve or eat it right out of the bowl.

Long time between post.

2010-07-29T09:33:00.000-07:00

Like many things- there is always something going on and can't post. But, as fate has seemed fit to jump in the way as if it was a depressed frog in front of a car (my wife knows what I'm talking about). I have time to add to this venting device. I see someone in CA. caught on and said- "You make too much $$$,$$$". Good for them, it's about time. See my post from NOV. Now that I have this time I'm going to catch up on technology. I'm going to go from STUPID 4.0 to SLOW 5.0. So please be patient and understand I am operating on before mentioned STUPID 4.0.

Back to basics...........................

2010-04-17T13:49:00.000-07:00

There comes a time when you just have to press the "reset button" of life. Do you know what I mean ?? It all comes down to basics. Say "please", "thank you", "yes"-not "yeah", say "no"- not "nah", open the door for someone, use your turn signals. I think we learned most of these early in life. You need to treat people as if they have had a worst day than you are.

Politicians

2009-11-02T13:14:00.000-08:00

When the hell are "we", the common folk, going to start putting these politicians in "check". For too long they have ran amuck and put our country in "muck". I belive the problem started when they started living in Washington D.C. They were "corralled" in one place so that the lobbyist can go at them like fish in a barrel. It evens happens at the local level. A discount on a car here, a better price for a plot of land there, yadda-yadda. When someone runs for office at any level instead of saying "Thank You blah blah", they should just say "CHA-CHING BITCHES, I'M GOING TO CUT BUDGETS IN SCHOOLS, FIRST RESPONDERS, GET RID OF PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN OF EVERY KIND, AND YOU KNOW WHAT? SCREW THE ENVIRONMENT- I GOT A FREE CONDO, AND STILL DRAW A SIX DIGIT SALARY. WOOHOO, AND YOU PUT ME HERE". Does that sound about right? That's how it feels anyway.

The cold shoulder of a GPS girlfriend.

2009-06-28T17:14:00.000-07:00

My father has a GPS for his car. He was on his way to an appointment and used it to get to his location. The friendly voice told him where to turn and the direction to go- well, "she" instructed him to go 0.9 mi. and make a U-turn, right past a his turn. He saw his destination, saw the turn lane but followed "her" directions. He asked," why would it tell me to go down there when there's a turn lane right here?" After he made his turn "she" stopped talking to him. Don't worry, I think they'll work it out.

What the hell were they thinking ???????

2009-06-28T16:38:00.000-07:00

What the hell were they thinking giving these companies money that we, the tax payers are funding ???? Seems the credit card companies are raising the fee to use their card or some such thing. Didn't they get a "truck load" of money from us and now we have to pay more ?? Look at it this way--- YOU JUST COVERED THEIR "BONUSES" WITHOUT CUTTING INTO THEIR PROFITS AND YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY THEM AND THE RATE INCREASE.

The Ones That Make The Rules.........................

2009-03-27T17:47:00.000-07:00

I heard on the radio show a good point... These people that make the decisions to cut budgets, i.e. close schools, let go of "First Responders", Teachers, etc, etc........ How much do they make a year? I think there is a problem with someone voting on their own pay? A "conflict of interest" they call it. School Board members, City Counsel Members, State Representatives and Senators, all the way up to the Federal level. Maybe they should be held accountable to the same standards they use to give someone or some program the axe. More later

"Chimps Gone Wild" & More.......................

2009-02-19T14:51:00.000-08:00

OK, a 200 lb Chimp, (I say that because they don't like to be called "monkeys", it's a species thing I guess. I believe a chimp is an ape. I'm just covering my bases on this- Don't want one of those hairy bastards knocking on my door upset..) Beat the the ever loving hell out of some poor lady. I heard an interview with the "owner" of said Chimp, when asked why she thought the chimp did what he did she said because the chimp didn't recognize the lady because she got her hair done..... What the hell is that??????? Not thinking that maybe the Zanaz ( I can't spell something I don't use) she gave him had something to do with it....... She is in her own little world- and I for one would put this nanny of "BONGO" in jail. And why in the hell would someone own an animal of this type???? I think maybe she should have let him hit the "herb" over some damn pharmaceutical made by man. Live by the sword-die by the sword I guess they say.

2009-02-17T14:04:00.000-08:00

Hello..... "pan-handlers". Can't stand these people. I've seen them, male, female. Their stupid little signs-"will work for food", "homeless", and the catchy, "homeless and hungry" (a double whammy on the guilt). And sometimes you get the "Disabled Vet". I have had a few in my time, as I'm sure you all have at intersections. One I remember well. A guy in a camo jacket with a beret on came up to me at a gas pump and said he was a "disabled vet" and ask for money. I calmly told him I was too, (which I am) and I have a job, then gave him directions to the nearest VA Center. Another I saw was in front of 7-11 asking for money, a man asked him, "You hungry?", the guy said "yeah", the gentleman said, "C'mon, I'll get some food". The guy came out pissed because the man was going to get him food not money. When you see the people at the intersection think twice. Don't even make eye contact with them. Or if your feeling "saucy", have them dance or tell you a joke, hell sing a little tune for the money so badly want. That's degrading you say?? And standing at an intersection begging for money isn't??? At least they would've provided some service for YOUR hard earned money......

Another Day..................

2009-02-16T14:38:00.000-08:00

Well alright.... We have it all now. 8 Babies to a welfare mom, stimulus package, plane crashes---- and falling objects. Has anyone gone to see if there was an impact to explain what it was-- they can find a passport out of the rubble of the World Trade Center but they can't get the economy right. Does anyone else see a problem with this ?? Banks are getting all this money and what are they doing with it ???????? Buying other banks? Paying for vacations? Giving out bonuses ? HMMMMMMMM ? ? They are giving money to the same people that caused what"s going on in our econonmy. How can they fix it now ?? The auto industry did the same thing to themselves- they made cars no one could afford and say, "Poor us, no one is buying our cars". Jobs went overseas- people lost their jobs- then their cars- then their houses. Builders came in and built on any piece of flat land and are crying no on is buying houses. Drive around neighborhoods and see how many "FOR SALE", "FOR RENT" signs you see- it'll blow your mind. You have CEO's that are'nt buying stock in their own companies- that understandable-when they sell them you no they get looked at. The rat jumping a sinking ship vision comes to mind........ This comes down to the Federal Reserve.........that's a whole new post in itself...........

Nadya Suleman

2009-02-15T06:23:00.000-08:00

Well, It seems Nadya Suleman now has a Talent Agent- Is defrauding the welfare system and pumping out children a talent ?????? Well there is the wanting to look like Angelina Jolie thing. I did visit the website she has- left a comment--- No death threat, nothing against the children. I'm waitting for her to come out and say she does'nt know why people are so upset, and it's taking a toll on her. Of course trying to get more sympathy and attention. I have no sympathy for this "woman". This isn't a case of a woman giving birth to 8 children- This was a planned event- like ordering a pizza. Did she think Companies would be knocking down her door to help ? Is the book she is going to write going to be a "HOW TO" ??

Just started..............

2009-02-15T05:09:00.000-08:00

Greetings all. Just starting this, so please be kind. I needed an outlet, as many of us do. We see things that just get under our skin. And I figured this would be perfect.

Thanks
