You need your parents to what !!! But NOT to do what???

You know you live in a Country run by idiots if...
You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.

       Okay so most of us know this by now, but someone sent this to me with a buncj of other, You know you live in a country...etc etc etc.  Some problems with getting those messages are the peopel who send them are so judgemental  and we don't know how they live, what's in their closet. I just do think though that as people get older, they/we think we just better, more perfect, but all that we are is older and because of that, more experienced. I know many, well never mins, a few who do seem to be perfect people to me and I'm happy to know them and yet I doubt even in the positions in life they hold, they would not be this judgemental.
       Just maybe the idiots are people who caim to be such perfect Christians, yet are haters, of the government and more. I know who sends this to me and I care about him deeply-but wow! He is two side of a dull coin.
 Peace out-good will to all men and women.:)

He thinks we should, "JUST FORGET"

     Everyone has an opinion about The tragedy of December 14th at Sandy Hook elementary school. A teen in my care said this morning as more news came on about this horrible day, "I think we should just forget it and they should stop talking about it." My reply was, we should never stop talking about it and what if that was your family? No answer right away. Then he said, what good does it do, and I explained what good we hope it does.
     This is a kid who did not grow up with his own parents and does not have empathy for anyone except himself. There isn't any way to get him to understand or care and is this a concern for the future? Yes, but what can we do about it now. Educate, change laws, report and go back. Go back to a time when we had prayer in schools, and discipline was a matter of parental right, when mostly all of us went to church.
    With all of the changes that have come about the last thirty or forty years, and kids having more rights and parents less, what has happened? As a nation of compassion, understanding, helping, we have also weakened. Look at the families who stop trying, children in special behavioral schools, special classes for those who don't behave. Has that all come to be since parents lost the right to parent? Has it happened because atheists have more rights than those who are not atheists?
    I'm not suggesting to leave compassion, understanding and helping at your own front door, but we have to stop talking and start doing, start to make the changes. Maybe it can only start now with young parents. Take your kids to church, pray at meals, discipline, find positive activities, help those in need and teach your kids to help, not hurt. We all say, something has to be done, changes need to be made. When?

Morgan Freeman, said it BEST

TURN OFF THE NEWS.......

Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday :

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.
...

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

Shooter into School-kid asks, who's to BLAME?

     Yes, I realize we don't know yet and so many are guessing but I bet many are thinking the same thing and many are still wondering;How did he get in if his mother wasn't there? How or why was this young man allowed into and elementary school? My guess? They knew him, plain and simple.
     Most people are basically friendly, and I know at a local High School I go to many times because I have kids there that I meet with in some aspect or another, I am easily allowed in. If I say I have an appointment, I'm buzzed in and sometimes, I get buzzed in as soon as they see me over the screen. It isn't checked until I am in the outer office that I actually have an appointment.
    So was this similar to today? Was this young guy let in because they knew him and thought he was just stopping by to visit.
    The young boy I care for asked me tonight, so who do you think is to blame? for this happening. Blame is seen very different by people who accept blame and people who love to blame others-in my opinion. I let him know, my feeling was without knowing all the facts yet, maybe who ever didn't lock up guns and bullets separately and then hide the keys elsewhere. I just spoke with my son a few nights ago about guns, safety and a hunter who accidental killed his child forgetting he had a bullet left in the chamber. It was a long discussion. I think women hate guns more than men.
    Anyway, this young boy in my home feels it was the fault of the school because they let him in. I then told him it is solely the fault for now of the shooter who also proved what a coward he is by taking his own life. Okay maybe it's going to come out he was mentally ill and maybe a doctor or shrink of some sort knew the possibility of today's action. Yet many times no matter who we are, we end up saying, if only I knew, If only I saw the signs. But we don't think to look for signs when we help people no matter what position we're in, every single time.
    Who's to blame? Does it matter now? Yes, and right now is when people need to make different plans for allowing people into schools, sadly just as they do onto planes? Make a meeting room so that people can't get any further that a certain dividing space between classes and a reception area. No wonder more parents are home schooling children. It isn't only what kids see and do in school, it's who comes into their schools to do it to them.

Appliance Parts Replaced? GO HERE! GREAT PLACE!

      Hey People! It's me again. I didn't believe it when I first found a part I was looking for, for my meat slicer. I first went to some dot com site and while they were out of the part I wanted they would get it, but get this, The part was 12.99 ad S&H was 8.99  BALONEY! Did ya hear me, I said BALONEY! This is the plastic cover guide/guard for slicing. THE answer is next :)

   I called Lowes. I bought my slicer a year ago to bake chicken and roast beef and slice for sandwiches and salads. Somehow I threw away the much needed part. So I called Lowes today at their toll free number 866-802-6383 and asked about the part. You won't believe the difference. The nice woman on the other end who was in North Carolina sent the address/web site to me which is:

                                    ereplacemnetparts.com

I was thrilled to see the price is 6.27 and S&H is only 3.81 !  Now this is a company to buy your parts from and thank you Lowes for being so helpful.
All I can say is, keep searching, honest companies are out there and there's more that one as I learned today.
