Hardest Thing About Blogging

Mama’s Losin’ It
This week for the Writers Workshop I picked #3-What do you find most challenging about blogging?

I find a lot about blogging challenging but that is because I want to know how everything works.  I am getting into design blogs and that leaves little time to actually write blog posts.  It amazes me how people can design blogs and also find time to blog as well.  I guess part of my problem is that I work from 8-5 Monday through Friday and then go home at work on designs.  I seem to be working all the time and that leaves little time to actually blog.  I also have a hard time trying to figure out what I want to write.  I have tons of post sitting in my drafts folder but I don't know how to finish any of them.  I always have great ideas for post and then after I start them I get busy and never finish them.

Another Great E-mail

I do like this approach!!  Too bad none of our politicians can get this done...

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010

Put me in charge . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for
Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans,
blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want
steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women
Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test
recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and
piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get
tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your
"home" will be s ubject to inspections anytime and possessions will be
inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your
own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or
you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of
trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We
will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo
and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of
the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before
you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem,"
consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for
doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's m istakes we should at least
attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system
rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is
correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will
voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t
welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Idiot Sightings

IDIOT SIGHTING
I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00
I said "May I have large bills, please"
She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size."
When I got up off the floor I explained it to her....

IDIOT  SIGHTING
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car, we were told the keys had been locked in it.  We went to the service
department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver
side door. As I  watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried
the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.  'Hey,' I announced
to the technician, 'it's open!'  His reply: 'I know. I already got that
side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , MS

IDIOT SIGHTING
We had to have the garage door repaired.
The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not
have a 'large' enough motor on the  opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at
that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a  1/4 horsepower.' I
responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.
He said, 'NO, it's  not..' Four is larger than two.'

We  haven't used Sears repair since.


IDIOT  SIGHTING
  My  daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I
gave the clerk  a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way
you can just give me a dollar bill back.
She sighed and went  to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but we
could not do that kind of thing.'
The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.

Do  not confuse the clerks at McD's.


IDIOT  SIGHTING
I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local  township administrative office
to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!
I don't  think this is a good place for  them to be crossing anymore.'

From   Kingman ,   KS

IDIOT  SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco  Bell    and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceburg lettuce.
 -- From   Kansas City

IDIOT  SIGHTING
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,
'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'
To  which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

Happened in   Birmingham ,   Ala.

IDIOT  SIGHTING
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.
I was  crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She
asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing  driving?!'

She  was a probation officer in   Wichita  , KS


IDIOT SIGHTING
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the
company due to 'downsizing,'
our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more
often..'
Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at  each other with that
deer-in-the-headlights stare.

This was a lunch at  Texas  Instruments.


IDIOT SIGHTING
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not
turn on.

A deputy with the  Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.


IDIOT  SIGHTING
How would you pronounce this child's name?
"Le-a"
Leah??                NO
Lee - A??            NOPE
Lay - a??             NO
Lei??          Guess Again.
This child attends a school in   Kansas City ,   Mo. .
Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.
It's pronounced "Ledasha".
When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said,
"the dash don't be silent."
SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember
to pronounce the dash.
If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.

STAY ALERT!

They walk among us......and they VOTE

Australia

Mama’s Losin’ It
I picked #4-A country you would like to visit.  There are so many different countries that I would like to visit.  I have always wanted to travel and go all over the world but if I could only pick one I would pick Australia.
I have cousins that are from there and there is also so many fun things I want to see.  I am hoping that one day I will have the money so that I can go there and site see.  The men also are super sexy when they talk.  They have so many cool animals.  There is just so much culture down there.  I am saving my penny's so that I can go one day!

I am starting a couple new project and need some help.  The first one is a blog I have started for people who have placed their children for adoption.  It is called Birth Parents Place.  People that have been reading my blog for awhile know that I placed my daughter for adoption when I was 20.  Since then I have seen a need for safe place for girls or guys that placed their child to go and talk without people judging or saying mean things to them.  I also have started a Facebook Fan Page so if you know of anyone that has placed their children please pass on the information.

I hope everyone has a great Friday!
