Rats & Mice

I'm so tired of fighting these suckers.  You get rid of 3 or 4 and more take their place.  I've caught over 15 rats/mice, in the last 3 months, in traps and I am still fighting to get rid of them.......this is just too much effort to keep up with.  Yet, if I don't they will eventually, become family around here.  Actually, I think they already, think that they are at home.  Damn, it!

Rioting?

When you look at what's going on in this country these days, it makes you worry what will happen next?  All the rioting, is not changing what has happened or is happening, whether it be racial, or downright hatred.  No one is perfect, and it on takes a split second for anyone's life to be changed.  One wrong move, word or look, can start a war in any circle of people.  It's a mess and I'm worried this president we have will declare martial law, and cause a real problem.  That's something none of us want to see, believe me!

Garland Damage

 

This is a picture of some of the damage the tornadoes cause on Dec. 26, 2015.  It's not a very good picture, since I was in the car as we drove past.  The National Disaster Team is still on the properties,  even today.  Clean up has been hampered by several different aspects.

Riots!

HEY, YOU IDIOTS.........THAT MAN, DIDN'T DIE SO YOU COULD GO AND STEAL OREOS, POTATO CHIPS, CIGARETTES AND TOLIET PAPER!  COME OFF OF YOUR SHIT!  WHAT ARE YOU CHANGING?  PEOPLE WORKED HARD TO MAKE THOSE BUSINESSES YOU ARE DESTROYING.  POSSIBLY, EVEN YOUR PARENTS!

4th Time

Once again as the nation and world sat glued to their TV sets, the New England Patriots, took the "Super Bowl" title in a very intense game.  Predictions were alive as many were placing bets on this famous game.  The Seahawks, lost to the Patriots 28/24 and I'm sure they will have many tales to tell their families and grandchildren.
Noted for my bad luck and lack of funds, I am one of the lucky one's that didn't fall victim to loss of finances.  I'm know of one man who walked away with plenty of cash because of his hedge bets.

History on this Day

This day in history....

Just Stop It!

Hey, all you idiots, what in the hell do you think your doing?  This damn rioting because a person of race has been killed by another race is a bunch of crap!  If the person of interest was committing a crime and being bullyish, then he should have gotten in trouble.  The fact that he got killed is a part of life in your area.  What day goes by that a murder doesn't happen up there?  You always want things to start trouble about and that's why your race is pulling these bullyish actions on the rest of our nation.  Many of your own race have backed away and are trying to maintain peace, where you are making strife!  You wonder why people don't like what your doing?  Take a look at the things your looting and destroying, that people have put their life savings into!  Why do you think it is right for someone to come in and take something that don't belong to them?  I'm just tired of all the crap and you should be ashamed of yourselves.  Oh by the way, I wonder?  Do you know what the meaning of "ashamed" is ?

The Times You Dread

Have you ever felt that impending loss or failure that was just around the corner?  You could feel something bad was going to happen and it left you very unsettled.  In fact, the unknown was downright scary!
If you are alive in today's world then it gets even more scary.  It could be the weather reeking havoc; the nation attempting to dislodge our values; your health starting to slide downhill; sudden outbreak of a virus; or loosing one's job.  Each time these disasters hit you can believe that we just aren't ready.
Loosing a loved one, or finding that your life is on the rocks, is just overpowering to the human thinking.  Yet, daily we all have our crosses to bear and do so, whether it be good or bad actions.  This is a time to claim the all mighty power of our loving God.  Reaching for his strong hand during these times, can and will give us comfort and even peace. 
I'm sure you have been to the point of no return many times, as I have.  These are the hardest times to suffer through and yet with God's help, we find ourselves on the other side of the problem, looking back and hoping to never go through that again.  Having faith is one of the strongest means of surviving that I can think of.  Having your belief in God, or a supreme being is the best way to find the strength it's going to take.  You know that no matter what, you will come through the situation and be able to go forward.

The Winner Is.............

OH NO...........out of gas.............poor Dale, Jr.

Another Plane Crash

Flight MH370 was reported missing from radar early Saturday, by Malaysia air traffic control.  Search teams have spotted 2 oil slicks located in the waters off the southern tip of Vietnam in the South China Sea.  So far hopes of finding survivors faded as night fell and more than 20 hours passed since the plane disappeared.
There was no "mayday" signal sent and the aircraft just vanished off radar in what seemed to be good weather.

Danica Runs Head On

Danica Patrick and Michael Waltrip involved in this crash, which killed any chances of them making a win.

Who Me?

It just hasn't happened.  Winning the lottery is not one of the things that will ever happen to me.  I'm not lucky and I may as well accept the fact.  How much money have I seen being spent of those tickets?  It's a frenzy at the lotto machines during the times of the big jackpots drawings.  I've watched money roll down the drain in a frantic attempt to be the "one"!  That big winner of the "Power Ball" would be very nice to be.  But I know better and that's just too bad.

Ralph Waite Dies

Ralph Waite, Michael Learned, 1972-81, in the Waltons. 
TV homesteader John Walton will endure in the hearts of family-oriented viewers for decades to come.  Born in White Plains, NY, he tried several different professions in life before finding his true calling.   Waite, always seemed more comfortable in front of the camera wearing a dusty pair of work clothes than a suit.  He passed away Feb. 13, 2014 in Palm Desert, CA at the age of 85.

Health

NC is home to the offices of  don allred insurance  and is easily found on Twitter under the above link in this post.  There are plenty of notifications telling of the offices being closed due to the horrific weather in that area.  March the 1st is also listed a the date to get your health insurance submitted.  For more information check out the website.

Deaths

It seems that no matter where you live there's always a crazy person or a sick one that can't handle the stresses of life.  Maybe it's because of the way they were raised, or how the people treated them on a certain job?  Who knows what causes these individuals to act in violence the way they do?  I'm sure the attack in MD, is just one of more that will or may happen in the near future.  It is my hope that we as the American public, can find ways to get these sick people off the streets and get them some help.

Everly Brothers

Songs of innocence is sung by the two brothers.  As you know, Jan 3. 2014,  Phil passed away and now there is no more of the famous duo.  Condolences to family and friends.

A Tribute to Ray Price

This is a tribute to Ray Price who passed away recently from cancer.

Did You Watch?

I sat glued to the TV last night watching this drama unfold.  It was a sight to behold, and the end of this finale has left me a bit miffed.  Daniel of all people, turned out to be the one who did the bad deed of shooting Emily.  I'm sure you know what I will be doing when "Revenge" comes back on Feb. 27th, 2014.

Mandela Laid to Rest

Nelson Mandela is laid to rest at his home...... condolences to his family and friends.

Texas Ice Storm

These are pictures of the ice storm we had here in Texas this week.  There is still plenty of ice that hasn't melted, but the roads are passable.  The cold temps has kept it from going away soon enough.  Many are still without power because of broken lines.
