Dear Mr. Spammer Commenter,

I know you’re working hard to get you link on as many websites as possible for SEO stuff and page ranking, but you’re going about it all wrong.  There are so many things that if you just did them just a little differently, I’d be more likely to approve your comment. But as it is now, I just delete them all.  Which is a waste of your time and a waste of mine.  So here are a few simple things that you can do that will make me MORE likely (although its certainly no gaurantee) to approve your comment.  If you’re interested that is.

I am so sick and tired of “The Race Card” and the “Sex Card” being played all over the place in our society today.  From the NAACP “hearing things” from a Hallmark Graduation Card to NARAL becoming enraged by an OH court ruling against a woman about her maternity leave, all that’s being said and done is not about Equality, it’s all about trying to be treated MORE special than anyone else.  And it’s not only ridiculous, but irritating and time consuming!  Not to mention tax payer dollar consuming!!  And I’m just SICK AND TIRED OF IT!!!!

This is a saying that my mom taught me as I was growing up.  “You cant’ make a second first impression”.  It means that no matter what you do, the first thing people see about you will be what they think of you most strongly.  If they see you as a nice, neat, clean cut person, then that’s how you will be treated by them.  If they see you as a punk, they’ll treat you like one… and they will for a very long time.

From One-Minute Writer:

Write about a way in which parenting has changed since you were a kid (either based on what you observe, or on what the experts recommend.)

I really like this site because it gives an interesting prompt and then only 1 minute to write about it.  However, sometimes this “prompts” me to write more.  This particular writing prompt today did just that.  I know immediately that what I wanted to say, wouldn’t get completed in only a minute.  So, if I’m going to rant, I’m going to rant on my own blog.  LOL!

At least that’s what I thought.  LOL!  Steve and I were having a cigarette in the garage and talking about Jr. High School memories.  I don’t remember exactly how we got onto THAT conversation.  But then Steve said this truly horrible thing:

You have entered a No Drama Zone!

I’d like to think that this was a “No Drama Zone”, but I know better.  This is the blogosphere, and drama abounds!  Actually, I think anytime you get a group of people, passionate about whatever topic, you’re going to find pettiness and drama.  I’ve seen it in every group I’ve belonged to, and it’s kept me from staying with a group for very long.  I hate drama and confrontations.

As some of you may already know, I’m conservative in my political views.  Well, at least most of them.  Fiscally conservative, socially liberal.  My view point is I am Pro-Choice… about everything!  I’m Libertarian, not republican, not democrat.  I believe in our constitution and I believe in LIMITED government!  Which is why I have started getting more involved in the Tea Party movement.  Because they are for limited government as well.

Personal responsibility seems to be a forgotten ability.  In a day and age where anyone can sue anyone about anything, we’ve lost the meaning of Personal responsibility.  And things just keep getting worse.  There’s little to no common sense and no one seems to be teaching it any more!  Where there’s no common sense, personal responsibility is lacking as well.

If you follow me at all on Twitter or Facebook you’ll already know a little bit about what’s been going on this week. It started Saturday with what I thought was just a gas bubble under my ribs. I went to be with a lot of pain, but expecting it to be gone in the morning. It didn’t go away. It did get worse though. By Monday I was in enough pain that I went to the Dr. He said it was my gall bladder and that I’d probably need it removed right away. He wanted me to get an ultrasound, took some blood tests and some x-rays and told me to go directly to the ER if things got worse. Well, they did. I went to the ER yesterday and got the ultrasound, took more blood tests, more x-rays and they came back with a diagnosis of “Gallstones”. They said that my gall bladder isn’t infected so there’s no rush to have it removed, but it won’t really get better either. I”m supposed to watch what I eat and talk to a surgeon about getting my gall bladder removed.

I”m in a lot of pain and my nausea is really bad too. The only thing that I”m supposed to watch out for is my gall bladder getting infected, which the only other sign to all the pain and nausea is a high temperature. So I’m keeping a watch on that, cuz that would be the only thing that will tell me that I need to ruse to the ER again. Doesn’t that sound like fun??

So what are the foods I’m supposed to avoid? Basically everything I love…. Fats and Spicey. So from now on I have to eat bland rabbit food. Which, I have been doing lately anyway becasue I haven’t felt up to eating anything other than soup or salad, and I’m still having major pains. So, I get to eat plain boring food and still hurt. Great deal!! NOT!

On top of all that I find out that Zynga (the company who makes all those really great games for Facebook and Myspace) has charged our business credit card $200. How they got the card number and what the charges are for I have no clue. I love playing those games, but I would NEVER pay for anything to do with those games, espeically not $200 bucks worth! One time I bought some extra coins for a game, not one done by Zynga, and I went through those coins so fast it wasn’t worth it. So I’ve never bought anything for the games since then, and that was about 6 months ago that I did that. And I used my PayPal account, not even my personal credit card, for that. So somehow Zynga or someone else, got our business credit card number and used it. So now we have to get those charges reversed, change our card numbers and deal with all of that crap.

THEN I got an email card from my dad for thanksgiving today. And somehow he forgot that I have two sons. He address the card to me and Rodger (note the mispelling as well), but not to Jack. Every time I think that maybe my Dad isn’t so bad and I should give him a chance to be a part of our lives (more than just on Facebook), he does something like this. How do you forget that you have TWO grandsons? I’d say that maybe because we don’t talk and such that maybe it’s an understandable omission, but we are connected on facebook, and I talk about the boys all the time. So, there’s no reason for him to forget. It’s just crazy!!

So that’s how my week has gone so far. I’ve spent a ton of money on Dr’s without getting anything really taken care of. Got ripped off by some company through facebook and my dad forgets one of his grandsons. Fun times!
