Jayce took me to a really nice restaurant and we had a great meal. Then we went over to his brothers house (who just happens to be a police officer) and played cards for a few hours. It was nice to meet his family. His brother is a really nice guy. So is his wife and their two kids. They have a boy and a girl that are just the cutest and sweetest kids I have been around for a long time. We left a little early so the kids would go to bed but that was okay. They were really nice to me and I really enjoyed meeting them. In fact, we had a great evening and I hope there are many more.
You learn something new every day
Jayce just told me last night that his brother is on the police force. I really admire anyone that is in the military or on the police force because they put themselves in harms way to protect us. One thing that blew me away is the fact that the police department doesn’t provide all of the tactical gear that they need. Jayce was telling me that his brother gets most of his 5.11 Pants and other tactical gear online. They have just about everything that a police officer would need to protect them and be able to carry the gear they need. Anything to keep them safe is the way I feel about it especially since they put their lives on the line every day.
Wow this is great for New Jersey
New Jersey has a new web site to help people find jobs. New Jersey Jobs helps companies to find employees and help the unemployed to find companies that are hiring. It’s through the Chamber of Commerce too so that just gives people another way to search for a job. I know New Jersey has always had a bit of a bad reputation but how bad can it be when some very famous people are from there. Bruce Springstein is just one of many that grew up there. It’s really a beautiful state if you’ve never been the and also has one of the highest per capita incomes of all 50 states. You just might want to consider checking it out if you’re in need of a job. I sure wouldn’t hesitate if I needed a job.
Darn it I hurt myself!!
Some of my friends and I decided to go play tennis this past weekend since it was perfect weather on Saturday. It wasn’t too hot or too cool so we hit the courts. As luck would have it, I think I got a shin splint. Now I don’t know much about shin splints so my friend recommended I check this web site. It’s full of all kinds of wonderful information on what a shin splint is and how to make it better. In fact, it has a list from a-z of injuries. It will explain what the injury really is and how to make it better so you can’t ask for more than that. It just might save you a doctor bill you know, and I like the sounds of that.
Swine flu scare
There are so many people that are over reacting about the threat of swine flu. I have started seeing people walking around all of the time in crowds wearing surgical masks. I could maybe see it on an airplane or in Texas but not everywhere. I just don’t understand all of the over reacting. Not once have I heard that the threat is as bad as some are making it out to be. Now I could see someone being afraid if they did this.
Gotcha didn’t I?
$50 Lesson
My cousin just sent this to me in an email. I thought it was funny. No I’m not a dedicated Republican or Democrat either. I vote for the person not the party, just so you know.
I recently asked my friend’s little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do? ‘She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.’ Her parents beamed.
‘Wow…what a worthy goal’, I told her. ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.’
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work,and you can just pay him the $50?’ I said, ‘Welcome to the Republican Party’.
Her parents still aren’t speaking to me.
I love our neighborhood
One of the things I love about our neighborhood is the fact that there are a lot of really big trees. They didn’t bulldoze down all of the trees to build the neighborhood and then plant a bunch of little trees. I hate it when they do that. With the old trees left in tact, there are also a lot of animals and birds throughout the neighborhood. I absolutely love to watch the squirrels play in the trees and on the ground. The only problem I have with them is they love my bird feeders. I feed more squirrels than I do birds. I also have a squirrel feeder but they don’t only eat their food, they like the bird food too.
Well I needed something to keep them away from my bird feeders and not hurt the squirrels. I tried putting Vaseline on the pole and that worked for a short time. Then I found a squirrel repellent that won’t hurt them but keep them away from what I want them away from. This stuff works great. In fact, it will keep a lot of unwanted animals away like skunks too. My best friend had a skunk in her back yard and boy was he a stinker. He sprayed my dog when we were visiting. Since she got this repellent, no more stinker!!!
Divorce hurts children too
It’s sad when a family breaks up. Sure it’s hard on the couple but what about the children? They are sometimes treated like property or a bargaining chip which only hurts the children even more. Luckily in this day in time parents are beginning to realize just what divorce does to their children and are trying to make it as painless as possible for their children. Usually it takes lawyers and sometimes mediators to come to reasonable visitation or time-sharing if you will, for both parents. With lawyers or the court system, there’s a lot of money involved also which can lead to even more arguing.
Now there’s a software called Parenting Plan which acts as a mediator would but saves the parents a lot of money. It’s also recognized in all courts so it could save your children a lot of heartache, you a lot of money and the courts a lot of time trying to make two adults act like two adults instead of two children fighting over their children. Can you imagine how a child would feel in that situation? I have seen it happen too many times and with the divorce rate so high, I’m going to recommend this to anyone I know getting a divorce that has children.
The IRS does not email you so beware!!!!
Do not fall for this. The internal Revenue Service does not email you even if you have e-filed your taxes. It’s just a scam and they’re trying to steel your identity. I got this in my email and now I’m scrambling to make sure I didn’t mess up by not realizing this was a scam.
This is absolutely amazing
I love things like this and wanted to share it with you. Absolutely Amazing!!! Just click on the picture and it will pull up the video of this amazing scientific find. I don’t know if you are into things like this or not but even if you aren’t, you might enjoy seeing this. Is proves to me that they were here but I so still believe in creationism and not Darwin’s theory.
