Only in America!

A lady wrote the best letter in the editorials in ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:
Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Arizona is addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house.

Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.

But I say, "No! I like it here. It's better than my house. I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house)."

According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to educate my kids
You are Required to provide other benefits to me & to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house and what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I also DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! So you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous This is? Only in America .

IT'S A FUCKING JOKE!!!!

So a while back, my friend and favorite male blogger Sage wrote this post. Here is what it said (the part I am talking about).

"Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for your wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic.

Secretly...guys feel left out. That's right...left out. There's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life.Men as a whole are either too proud or just too embarrassed to admit it.This is why a new holiday has been created .

March 20th is now officially 'Steak, Blow job & Shut the Fuck Up Day.'

Simple, effective and self-explanatory...this holiday has been created so your ladies can have a day to show your man just how much you love him.

No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town the name of the holiday explains it all...just a steak, a BJ & shut your mouth for the rest of the day! That's it!

This twin pairing of Valentine's Day and Steak, Blow job & Shut the Fuck Up Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere will try THAT much harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It's like a perpetual love machine.

The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.

Come on folks lets get this thing started!"

Ok, he wrote that as a joke (though I'm sure he's all for it). I thought it was funny as shit. I read it to Benny and he thought it was funny (though I'm sure he's all for it too). So, most agree it's funny because it's a joke, right? That's right, I said MOST.

OK, so why would someone get all upset about it and throw a big hissy fit? Oh ya, because some just like to be pissed. The person that did was all "Valentines isn't just about women,that's so sexist, not fair to same sex couples, blah blah blah...." She actually wrote a whole post about how wrong this is.

Are you kidding me? IT'S A FUCKING JOKE!!!!!! If you can't find humor in harmless jokes then you must be pissed all the fucking time!!!! I admit, some jokes are just plain mean and not funny but this wasn't one of them. Come on now.

Life for that person must suck. They should find a new one.

It's almost 3am so....

this could be either really interesting or really stupid. We'll see.

Ever read a blog and they have SO much fucked up shit happen to them daily that you think they have got to be full of shit? Ya, me too. I just want to call Bullshit with every post. But, I continue to read because it's funny to me. BTW, I never leave mean or rude comments because that would just be shitty. Actually, I don't leave any comments because that would just feed their need of attention. So, I blog about them behind their back. Because that is way more mature. lol

I LOVE the show Jackass because I cry from laughing so hard throughout the whole damn show. Seriously. Watched one tonight where Steve-O waxed his body. Well, bikini line, chest and eye brows. I woke up Benny I was laughing so hard. Them fuckers are so stupid and it cracks me up.

Toot was standing on bleachers earlier and some kid knocked her on her head. She actually landed on her head in the floor. She didn't cry but I think it was because she was in such shock. One second standing on her feet, the next second, standing on her head! I was kinda shocked too and the little shit that did it got away. My kids would have apologised over and over. She still got the Frisbee so ha ha!!! And yes, she was fine. As she says "Cowgirls don't cry"! Her song, not mine.

Hummm, what else. Oh ya. I learned something about myself today. I automatically don't like other people named April because there is no way that they can be as cool as me. BUT, after I get to know them...... I still feel the same way. Just kidding. Maybe.

Why are pro choice folks pissed about the new law in Utah? It says that a woman can be charged criminally for aborting/killing the baby inside of her if she does it illegally? I thought they were pro choice, not pro killing babies? And I thought they wanted it LEGAL to kill babies so women WOULDN'T do it illegally. Guess I am wrong. If ya want an abortion, do it the legal way (and early enough so that the pro choice folks can say it wasn't a person) so us tax payers don't have to cover the bill when the guy you paid to beat the shit out of you goes to far and puts you in the hospital. Seriously? This wasn't already a law of some kind? Oh, I guess that should be a woman's choice also. Fuckin stupid.

Think I will get any mean/rude/nasty comments on this post? If so, who really gives a shit? I don't.

Have a great Friday folks. Mine is starting out pretty good so far.

Screw being PC!

I am so sick of the political correctness bullshit and it's about to drive me crazy. Oh wait, did I just offend crazy poeple?

I think it is so sad that people have to watch every freakin word that comes out of their mouth because they might offend someone. I personally don't because I really don't give a shit (and everyone I associate myself with agrees with me).

And what makes someone worthy of being offended? If I call my husband an asshole jokingly, am I offending true assholes? If I say 'that stupid rug tripped me', am I offending the stupid people of the world? When I told Benny he was a dork because he sang some cheezy song, did I offend the dorks? What about when I called him a freak? I didn't take offense to it. I mean, come on now.

Now, I'm not for calling people names to be mean because that's just... mean. Ya, sometimes I do because I can be a bitch (did I offend dogs or women on that one?) or I'm just being silly but I don't not do it because it might offend someone. True story, my mom told my son to sit Indian style one day and my sis in law jumped on her saying it was offensive to Indians. The correct wording is cross legged. Are you kidding me? Do the Indians even know that they are suppose to be offended by that? And why would they be? I have a lot of Indian in me and I wasn't offended.

I really think some people just LOOK for reasons to get pissed and cause a commotion. Is their life really that boring? When someone makes blond jokes, I don't get offended and throw a hissy fit. Hell, usually I will tell them one right back that's even funnier. Just because someone has an opinion, that doesn't make it true. Also, when someone says 'All so and so's are ......' obviously their thinking is off so why would I even care what comes out of their mouth?

I just think people need to chill the fuck out.

How do you know when a blond is having a bad day? There is a tampon behind her ear and she can't find her pencil! hehe

Seriously, just grow up

I have just about decided that women are the meanest people around. Not teenage girls, not bullies at school but grown ass women. Seriously.

For the last 2 weeks I have seen 3 cases where women just acted like complete fools. They were mean, destructive, hateful, aggressive, calling others horrible names and spreading rumors. What the hell? I thought we were suppose to out grow that back in high school, not get worse! It seems men are more mature when it comes to the way you should treat others.

Two of the cases was on the internet. I am sure you have all seen it happen, especially among bloggers. I guess it's just so easy for some to be nasty online because you are hiding behind a screen. Just because it's easy doesn't mean it should be done. And not only is it just one person, once it gets started, tons of women jump in from both sides and get nastier and nastier. It's really sad.

Then there was one case that I got to witness. Women in their 40's throwing drinks, breaking phones and getting into a fist fight. It couldn't end there though. No, they have drug it out for the last two weeks seeing who could piss the other one off more. When I heard about it and then saw some of it, all I could think of was how these women REALLY need to grow up and REALLY need to get a life. If they have nothing better to do than act like this then something is really wrong. That goes for all the women that act like this online too.

So I have an idea. How about everyone just get along seeins how it's the holidays and all. How about we learn to bite our tongue and just walk away or turn off the computer. I know people wont do it for long because some people just crave drama but lets give it a shot for say....the next 3 weeks. Think ya can handle it? Hey, then maybe try and do something nice for someone else. You never know, you might find yourself being a little happier in life.

Leave me ALONE!!!

How many of you have neighbors you just can't stand? I know I do. At our old house, our nearest neighbor was a little over a mile away. It was great. I loved the privacy. The house I lived in before that, my only neighbor was my parents and they were still 100 yards away. They were great neighbors because they respected my privacy.

In the house we live in now, horrible neighbor. She is also about 100 yards away and there if a chain length fence between us. This does not stop her from bugging the shit out of me.
She is the woman we bought the house from. NEVER buy a house from someone that will live next door to you! Trust me.

After we moved in, she would still just walk in to the house on her own. OK, I am a very private person and don't like people in my house or even on my property unless I invite them so someone just walking in is a big no no. The first time she did it I had just had surgery and was doped up on pain pills. I just kind of stood there in shock and didn't say anything. The door she would just walk into was the door that comes in from our garage and then you have to walk through Little Mans room. We don't even use that door! So, we put a note on the door that says "Please use front door".

After that she started using the front door but she would barge in when I opened the door. By this time I REALLY don't like her and definitely don't want her in my house. So then I would open the screen door as I was shutting the wooden door behind me and that seemed to work.

Then the other day she really pissed me off. I was in the dining room doing school with the little ones and all the sudden I hear someone yelling my name. I get up and walk into the kitchen and she is at the back door, with it open and her head hanging in my house. To get to that door you have to walk through my gate and across my back yard. She told me she lost her phone in my yard and would be looking for it. I just said "ok, whatever" and shut the door in her face. How in the hell she lost her phone in my yard I will never know. But that's not the part that really pissed me off.

An HOUR later, I go outside to load up and go pick Little Man up from school. Her and another man are in my yard looking at something over by Benny's shop. I loaded up the kids as my blood is now boiling and walk over there to see what the hell they are doing. She then proceeds to tell me that there is a busted water pipe. I just look at her and said "I know, that's why I have the water to outside turned off. Benny is planning on fixing it this weekend. Did you find your phone?" I didn't say it in the nicest voice. She just looked at me and said "Oh, yes I did." And with that I turned on my heels and just walked off.

Do you think she got the hint or am I going to have to actually tell her "Listen, I don't like you and I don't want you over here. We bought the house from you. We are not renting it so it is no longer yours. STAY AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

I bet she wouldn't listen even if I told her that. I love my house and love our place but I don't know if I can deal with her much longer.

Verizon SUCKS!!!

I am so sick of what is going on with my phone and computer. It drives me crazy and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it so I am going to bitch about it.
I have had Alltel as my cell phone carrier for years. I don't even have a home phone and haven't in about 4 years. Our phones always worked great and basically everyone I talk to was on Alltel too. Back in March (I think) I got rid of my satellite internet and got the little thingy so I could get my internet through Alltel. It worked great! It was fast and I never had any problems.
THEN, Verizon takes over. Now everything SUCKS!!!!
My signal bounces all the time. I can have a full signal one second and then it will say "No Service" the next second WITHOUT ME EVEN MOVING!!!! That makes it VERY hard to finish a conversation. I cuss more now than ever because every time I get a call dropped, I cuss Verizon. Then, it started screwing with my internet. NOW I'M REALLY PISSED! I get kicked offline all the time and it has gotten sooooo slow. The signal on it bounces just as bad as it does on my phone.
I thought Verizon was suppose to be so good. I have seen their commercials. What was that they said about no dead zones? They are so full of shit!
I talked to the Verizon chick (that use to be my Alltel chick) and all she could say was "Give it some time. It should get better." WTF! Are you kidding me? It SHOULD get better? It better damn well or I will drop them (and loose my deposit) faster than they can drop another call! And I am not the only one that feels this way, EVERYONE I know is having the same problems.

A little if this and a little of that

Just some randomness for ya.

I watched a show last night and I couldn't tear myself away from it. Benny actually said, "No wonder you went to school to be a drug and alcohol abuse counselor". It was "Steve-O, The Demise and Rise". I like Steve-O. I think he is insane and so funny. But, he was OBVIOUSLY very drugged up for the last however many years he has been on TV. I think it is wonderful he has made it over a year of being clean and sober and hope he continues to do good. I was also great to see that he could still be crazy and funny without the drugs. And yes, I am one of those that watches Jackass and Jackass 2 over and over.

In a town about 2 hours from here, they had a protest with the black panthers and skinheads. The KKK decided against a rally so it was about 200 black people vs. 15 white people. They had the cops standing between them with their shields and everything. OK, this all seems very weird to me. Lets see, we have the black panthers, skinheads, and the KKK. Really? Why? I understand that the black people in this town are pissed because nowadays EVERYTHING is race related against them (being sarcastic). But why would the skinheads or KKK care. I don't get it. Life has got to suck when your world revolves around race. Do the Black Panthers and KKK just sit around and bitch about each other all day? Sounds fun (more sarcasm). The town I live in is about 50/50 black and white and has made national headlines for things that got turned in to racist activities. It wasn't the people of the town that turned it in to that though. It was the NAACP and the media. We didn't have protests and rallies and the shit got handled right. I guess the people in my town aren't as ignorant as others.

I feel a little better today. Now I am just really dizzy and weak. I hope I am all better by Friday because we have family coming into town to visit. For one night, I will have my cousins 5 year old son staying with us. I am sure Toot and Smiley will have a blast. Little Man will be staying with my mom that night to stay away from all the craziness I am sure will happen. Smart kid.

I am loving the weather we have had this week. It's hasn't reached 90 degrees all week!

And lastly, Benny bought me some fancy chocolate last night because he felt bad for me. It is soooo freakin good. He is the best husband EVER!!!

HE HAS LOST HIS FUCKIN MIND!!!!

I got served with papers today. From my ex husband. Little Mans dad. At Little Mans school.

He says I am a danger to Little Man and he wants 100% custody right now.

What the fuck is he thinking!!!

Gotta go to court this Thursday.

What the fuck!

You fuck with my family and you are in a world of hurt. I PROMISE THAT!

I just wanted to add, I have NEVER had to take Little Man to the hospital or the doctor for injuries. The last time (and only time) I have ever had to take him to the hospital was when he was diagnosed with diabetes. Can't say the same thing about his dad and stepmother!

Well that sucks!

I went and got some gas today and guess what, gas has gone up 50 cents in the last week here!!!!
That really sucks. Was not near as much fun filling it today as it was 2 weeks ago. It went up 20 cents yesterday alone. Guess I should have filled up yesterday.

Also, I gotta add this. I have the news on right now. I usually don't watch the news but I lost the remote and I'm just too lazy to get up and change it. I'm actually not really watching as much as it's just on. About every 15 or 20 minutes they show the local stuff. I say local even though it's not local to me. I live about 30 minutes from Louisiana so I get Shreveport news.

Anyways, people are stupid. I'm starting to think most people are. We have had A LOT of rain lately and everything is flooded. They have shown 4 times that I have noticed a woman that drove threw basically a river going across the road and her car got stuck. Who would have seen that coming?! But here is the kicker. SHE HAD HER NEWBORN BABY WITH HER!

What an idiot.

Pissed again!

Three post in one day! Look at me go.

Anyway, Benny has direct deposit so I never see his check stubs. I thought his checks were suppose to be more but never really thought more about it. He came home last night and emptied his pockets and his check stub was among all the crap.

HE PAID OVER $1200 IN TAXES!!! IN ONE FUCKIN WEEK!!!

That's about 30% of his check!!!

Did I miss something? WTF is that all about?!!

Little update

OK, I cheated and wrote the last post yesterday for today.

Since then, I have come down with a major kidney infection, Smiley cut his foot REAL bad right on the arch of his foot, and a pipe busted and flooded half my house. I can barely walk, Smiley can't walk, and half my house is covered in water. UUUGGGGHHHHHH! I need help! :(

So yes, this week officially SUCKS!!!!

TORNADOS

We had a F2 tornado go down our road Thursday night. Thankfully we were not home. Our house is OK but we will need a new roof. One tree in the front yard is spit so that will have to be cut down and removed and one tree in the back yard was completely uprooted. Benny's shop was torn up pretty good too.

The kids are really pissed about one thing though. And this one thing has caused many to stop and take pictures. Remember that tree with all the wisteria in it. The wisteria is gone but something new is added. Check it out.

I guess I wont be working out on that anytime soon. Funny thing, we have NO idea how to get it down and Benny wont be back home for over 4 weeks.

I would like to add that on the same night, Mena, Arkansas was hit with a F3 tornado and destroyed. Please say a little prayer for everyone affected by this horrible storm. 3 people lost their lives and so many lost their homes.

Oh, Benny did the sweetest thing and surprised me by pulling up at home yesterday. He had taken off work for my birthday!!! Best present ever.

WTF

I was just messing around on the internet yesterday and came across this http://www.popeater.com/music/article/some-fans-still-support-chris-brown/389095...




If you don't feel like clicking over to it, here is the first two paragraph out of it.

"You'd think that two felony charges against a star who allegedly beat up his equally famous girlfriend would quickly deplete his female fanbase. For Chris Brown, there's still some hardcore supporters out there who refuse to believe their idol did anything wrong.

The first signs of this trend became apparent when a survey of Boston students showed that 46 percent thought Rihanna was responsible for Brown's alleged attack on her. Similar mindsets were exposed in a New York Times article titled "Teenage Girls Stand by Their Man." In the report, a Bronx ninth grader says that even after seeing the photo of bruised and bloodied Rihanna, that "she probably made him mad for him to react like that ... You know, like, bring it on?""

If you don't know what he did to her, you can see the pic here. I'm not posting it because it is so bad.

WTF!? 46%!? How can anyone think that she caused this or deserved it?! No person, woman or man, deserves to be treated like this by their boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. This made me so sad and mad.

What are we teaching our kids?

I am sure some people have said "Well, if she goes back to him then she deserves it." I hope that when someone says that, they don't really mean it and are just venting about how stupid it is for her to go back to him. Seriously though, watch what you say around your kids. They tend to take things you say literal.

If I ever heard one of my children say that she or anyone else that is a victim of domestic violence deserved it, I would flip the fuck out. Maybe because I have been there but I would like to think I would still react that way had I not gone through it.

I really hope that something changes and that people get a clue about domestic violence. Please teach your kids that it's not OK and not the victims fault. Hell, that's one reason why so many stay in that situation, they think it's their fault and not the abusers.

Crazy? Ya think?

I was talking with Carrin the other day and we started talking about people getting off by claiming insanity. Like mothers that kill there children for example.

Then later on I read the news and the guy that beheaded the other guy on the Greyhound bus and then started EATING him got off because the courts found him insane. Ya think?! Did they really have to have a trial to figure that shit out? He just has to go to a mental institution for treatment.

Here is my theory.
Any one that murders another person is insane. If they were not insane, they would not have done it. Anyone that hurts or kills children, is insane. Same reason.

I DO NOT THINK THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EVER WALK FREE AGAIN!!!!

With the guy I mentioned, he will be evaluated every year to see if he is sane enough to release WITH NO CRIMINAL RECORD! WTF! He killed a guy and then started EATING him.

This is what I think. If a person is insane and then takes meds and becomes sane AND THEN chooses to quit taking their meds, well then they are CHOOSING to be crazy and do crazy things. They should be held responsible for all their actions.
Just like if I choose to drink a shit load of beer, black out, and then kill someone because I drove drunk, I would go to jail.

Or I could just sue the bar that served me the beer. That shit actually happens. Can you believe that? So stupid. Sorry, getting off track.

I have had my share of mental problems so it's not like I am not sensitive to people with mental disorders. Also, my cousins ex-wife is bi-polar and we were real close at one point. She chooses to not take her meds because she doesn't like the way they make her feel. Well, last time she quit taking them she tried to cut her son out of her own stomach. She knows this and still chooses to not take her meds. So, she is making a conscious choice to be crazy. I think if she does something illegal, she should be held accountable, meds or no meds.

That's my opinion and I can assure you it wont change.

Have a great weekend!

WTF and other stuff

OK, I had a funny little text convo Benny and I had that I was going to post about. Then, I read an e-mail I got and it all changed. Let me do some explaining.

I got an e-mail saying I was rude and judgemental for calling Carrin a yankee. First of all, I didn't call her one, I said she sounded like one. Second, SHE IS ONE! WTF!

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of yankee is (I looked it up):
1 a. a native or inhabitant of New England
b. a native or inhabitant of the northern United States

99% of you realized I wasn't being rude but there is always that 1% that suck.

I didn't mean to offend any yankees by calling them yankees. That is what I have heard and said ALL my life. I have friends that are from up north and they have never cared. Hell, one of them is my sis-in-law and she has never cared. I have heard them call themselves that. To me, it's like saying I am a Texan. Yes, I am a born and raised, honky tonk lovin', fried chicken eatin', beer drinkin' Texan that says 'yall'. And, proud of it.

So if you thought I was being rude and judgemental well, all I can say is, LIGHTEN UP!
I'm so tired of all this political correctness bs.

And if ya get bored, go take this little fun test here. I'd love to know your results.

Have a good day YALL!

Ohhh, and just cause I think it's funny and to lighten the mood, I'm still posting the text convo Benny and I had.

Me: Have I told you lately how much I love you? It's more than this! My arms are spread wide open by the way.

Benny: The one thing we do best is say that we love each other AND WE MEAN IT! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, BODY AND SOUL!!!

Me: I wouldn't say that is the BEST thing we do but we do it better and more than anyone I know.

Benny: You must be thinking with your arms and legs spread wide open them. LOVE YA!

Me: Love you too Baby!

Benny: And soon too!


He's so good to me. I couldn't live without him.

Are you F***king kidding me!

I just read an article and it really pissed me off. It's here if you want to read it. I'm throwing in my two cents on this one. I can't help it.

It's about Nadya Suleman. Who's that you ask. She is the woman that thought having 14 kids while you are single AND unemployed was a good idea.

First of all, there really needs to be an investigation. She was on disability because of a bad back BUT she can carry 8 babies at once. I've been pregnant 3 times and it killed my back. I can't even imagine what it feels like to carry 8.

Second, she says she's not on welfare BUT does receive food stamps. Am I missing something? Isn't that the same fucking thing? She stated that she used her disability money to pay for the in vitro. Shouldn't she have used that money to feed the 6 kids she already had? Just my opinion.

Third, they are requesting that Medi-Cal (the state medicaid program) pay for the 8 babies stay in the hospital. Isn't that welfare also? OK, I thought so. Like the working people of California don't have better things to do with their money.

Forth, somebody really needs to take a look at the Dr. that agreed to do in vitro fertilization on a single, unemployed, mother to 6. Maybe he can pay her medical bills. Seems fair to me.

Fifth, I didn't know you could get disability for a child that has ADHD. My niece was diagnosed with it and I know it's not an easy road for her or her parents but, disability? Really? Little Man is not considered disabled and he has diabetes. You know, a disease that can KILL him.

Sixth, she says she is going back to school to get her masters degree in counseling. I thought that was funny because I believe that she needs some serious counseling herself. Also, good for her on trying to further her education but who is going to pay to feed and clothe these children? Student loans my ass! It's the taxpayers paying for it.

And the last thing, NOW, she has up a website asking for donations to help her raise her 14 children. WTF! If you feel the need to go online and beg people for money to help you PROVIDE for your children, ummmm, you shouldn't have had that last litter. I'm sorry, calling them a litter was mean. It's not those children's fault that their mother is COMPLETELY INSANE! I really feel sorry for all of these children.

I don't get why someone would want so many kids but if you can support them and provide the love and attention they deserve, have at it. But if you can't, stay away from ANY and ALL sperm!

OK, my rant is over. I feel a little better now, don't you? If you disagree with me on this, I would be really interested to know why? If I'm missing something, please enlighten me.
