I have discovered as I get older, I have much less tolerance of other people's rank stupidity. Case in point--my ex calls tonight (after my boys have tried to reach him at the appointed time again) and his first question to my 14 yr old was "What did you pack?"(he picks them up tomorrow for visitation). Chris' response was right on the money--"Clothes." Just as deadpan as he could get. See, my ex has a problem with what I pack for the boys when it comes time for him to visit with them. If it is anytime in the summer, I am not supposed to pack any long pants or jackets. So I do anyway, just because I have the sense to know that once in a while, it gets a little chilly in the evening, even in summer. I have no idea what he thought was going to get packed for a weekend where the temps have not gotten out of the 20's for days, and snow is expected. Again. I swear next time I will take the phone from the boy and tell their dad that I packed shorts and tanks for them, just in case it reaches the upper 80's while it is snowing.
Geez.......
Of course, we also have the national peanut butter scare. Believe me, I don;t want my kids to have salmonella anymore than the next parent does. I spent the first 45 minutes of my shift yesterday pulling the email about it and then pulling and counting the product off my shelves. As I am doing this, some lady apparently passed thru the aisle just before I got there with the buggy to put the stuff in, and was bitching out the other manager for it still being on the shelf. Not wanting to hear that the warning had just been on the news half an hour before--which we don;t have access to while we are working, and that we had just checked the email screen and found the notice so that we could pull it. Patience, people, we have to have time to react to it. Hell, I was the first to sign off to our DM that it had been done.
So it is back to JIF for us for a while. I never used the Peter Pan brand, but I do use the Walmart version, and it is now in the trash. I do have to say that neither of my kids thus far has shown any signs of being ill, so I figure mine was ok, but I replaced it with JIF anyway.
Next on my list is Pelosi and the gang of rogues running Congress now--and I include quite a number of GOP in this too. Once again, Grow some balls. Stand up for what is right. And what is right is giving our troops the SUPPORT they need and the MEANS to accomplish what they need to do so they can finish the job and get back home. They DO NOT need our wimpy assed Congress passing any kind of resolution saying that "War is wrong, we shouldn;t be there, we won;t fund any more troops. "
Give me a break.
Most of you people in the Congress VOTED FOR stopping terrorism. Whatever it took.
So did Iran or Syria or who buy you off?
Who has you by the nuts?
Sorry if I seem a little crude, but ya know, I am a little incensed at this point. When I turn on my radio and hear people talking traitorously about this country, I blow my stack. When the whiners can;t even back up their positions---instead just yapping about how wrong it is for us to be over there in Iraq, about how many people we are losing over there. And then when asked to back up their whining with facts, they just lose it and can't handle the heat. And then resort to name calling and yelling, and anything to get the rest of us to shut up.
Like a bunch of 6 yr olds fighting over who gets the next turn on the swingset......
No wonder the rest of the world has no respect for us.
We don;t even respect ourselves most of the time.
Go right ahead, vote for Hillary or Obama----reap what you sow, people. More of the same crap that this Congress has forced on us.
Newt for President......
Hey he's the only one who hasn't declared for 2008 yet out of everyone I thought would.....
As Earl Pitts would say, "WAKE UP AMERICA!!!"
