Its Christmas time again  

Posted by Melissa


Well, its that time of year again, it used to be one of my favorite times. Christmas... This year however is going to be like last year. Sad. Sad for me anyway, I am broke again this year and its really a horrible feeling. I was expecting some money today the day before christmas eve, but alas, it didnt come. I am praying my check will deposit tomorrow. If it doesnt then... no christmas at my house. I dont even have stocking stuffers! Thank goodness my children are older and understand that we're just broke.
Next year we will have baby Hannah, and I will have to start shopping for her in July.

Happy Halloween!!

I hope yall had a better one than I did. I had to work and by the time I got home I just dumped the contents of the candy bowl into my Friends kids bags and let it go at that.

Its really sad, its a wonder the boogie man didnt come to get me. You know that on halloween all the ghosts and goblins come out and folks dress up so that the spookies cant tell the difference between you and them.

Ah well, i'll just look foward to next year when my grandbaby is here.

hang em high

Oh what oh what will I write about today? Oh wait! I know!
This morning, when I came to work there was a discussion on the justice system. More specifically about murders, child abusers, rapists, etc... and how our justice system isnt very good. A man who sits close to me was saying that a high number of these "poor" men and women were innocent, and wrongly imprisioned. I do agree that there are SOME. He went on to say that prisions dont work and the prisoner should be reformed.
Well, let me tell you all my opinion which by the way, was strongly disagreed with by this same man.
I believe that if you kill someone you should die. If you rape or molest anyone, be it a child or an adult you should die. If you harm someone you should be harmed in the same way.
I heard a lot of talk about due process, and that the reason the murders, rapists, and molesters are sitting in prision for years is for due process.
Well.... Lets say some murder/rapist decided he was gonna do harm to someone, lets say he thought about it for a week. Fine.. he gets a week of due process himself, then if he is found guilty by a jury of his peers he gets the death penalty. If he/she just decided on the spur of the moment to do whatever horrible act they did... well... as soon as the trial is over, march em to the chair. Why should my tax dollars feed and house this monster?
Of course I believe that public Hangings could curb a lot of the crap that is happening these days also.. but.. thats just my opinion.
When i stated my opinion this morning I got "facts" thrown at me about the hardship of todays prisioners, and due process, etc....

Finally I said, If your loved one was raped,murdered, or molested I guarantee you wouldnt be standing there defending those monsters. You would be like me, and want whoever did it dead or worse.

I understand that my opinions arent the norm or the most popular, but they are my opinions and there is generally a good reason behind why i have that opinion.
Leviticus Chapter 24
19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

Not only funny but true!

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked, “Is someone in your house?”
He said, “No.”
Then they said, “All patrols are busy - you should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.”
George said, “Okay.”
He hung up the phone and counted to 30.Then he phoned the police again.“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot them,” and he hung up.
Within five minutes, six police cars, a SWAT Team, a helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic, and an ambulance showed up at his house, and caught the burglars red-handed.One of the policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you'd shot them!”
George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

Don't mess with old people.

Stupid People

I have to say that I truly believe Bill Engvall, and Ron White when it comes to Stupid people. Bill said that stupid people should wear signs so that we would know they are stupid and not ask them anything. He has a point, I personally have encountered several people out there who are, to say the least, too stupid to be let out alone.
Ron says that you cant fix stupid. I want a Tee shirt with that on it just to wear to work. I work in a call center that deals with Tax preparers and CPA's. After working here I would have to say that I wouldnt trust anyone to do my taxes but myself. You would think that someone with a college degree would have a little bit of common sense. Dude!! if you cannot operate a computer.. dont prepare taxes on a computer.
I was just on the phone with this woman for an hour trying to get her to copy a file from her cdrom to her hard drive. It was sad... my boss had to get into her computer and do it for her via the web.

later on i will have some different soapbox topics that i can fuss about.
