Pictures of Stupidity Pictures

hmmm...very, very interesting....

Sox, weather and so much more...

First off, WAY TO GO SOX! WHITE SOX that is! So I am NOT going to the second game of the series tonight between the White and Red Sox. The weather; high yesterday 90, high today 88, predicted high tomorrow...56!!!! What is up with this screwy weather, huh?!?! I am just glad that it is dropping again. October and 90 degrees? It just isn't right. So I am NOT sad that the hot humid weather is leaving my fair city. Now I believe I have covered the Sox, the weather, abd it is now time for 'so much more.' Today I have decided to share another of my "Pictures of Stupidity Pictures." (yes I meant to say that.)Here we go. (Disclaimer: if you are from Kentucky or have a strong loyalty to Kentucky for some reason I mean no offense, it is all in fun now ya'hear!) Okay to the left we have a sign that just makes me sigh and shake my head. I'd really like to know what state it is from. My best guess is Kentucky, whose largest state export is weed. (I didn't just make that up, a real Kentuckian told me that. Of course he did also tell me that Kentucky is one of if not the highest states for illiteracy...hmmmm, I think I see a connection here.) Such a noble message made into a joke. Maybe I should offer to move to Kentucky and be a state sign editor. :) Never mind that would mean moving to Kentucky. I want to go west not south and east. Well that is all I have for today kids, hope you enjoyed. Keep up the good work people, if we don't give up we might jsut make it through this day.

The band wagon....

The wagon can be a good and a bad thing. If you jump on and off of band wagons just because some movie star tells you too, I think it is a bad thing. If, however, it alerts you to something that is worthwhile and means something to you and you jump on for the long haul it can be a good thing. (I am the QUEEN of the run-ons!) Two weekends ago Emily and I went home to Indiana for the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale and Quilt Auction. It is something we try and go to ever year if possible. While there at the MCC pavilion I noticed several baskets of bracelets. You know the ones, Live Strong, if you live in Chi-town they say Believe for the Cubs (hum...that one didn't work) anyway these were white and simply said ONE. I read the note behind it stating that for a dollar you could take a bracelet and if everyone in the USA alone would donate just one dollar we could pay the debt of like 12 African nations. (I can't remember the actual number so don't quote me on that, it was somewhere around 12.) That got me to thinking...I am not rich. I struggle to meet rent and bills (especially cause I haven't been working in a while) but I can afford one dollar. So I gave and took a bracelet. I decided that I was also going to use it to remind myself that ONE person CAN make a difference in this world. I can make a difference in this world. I had noticed on the inside of the bracelet that there was a web site. I didn't think much of it, until today and while I was reading my bible it became apparent that I needed to look into the web site and make sure what I was supporting was truly something that I should be supporting. It is. I am amazed that I haven't heard of this before, seeing as how many public figures and relief agencies created and support this thing. Including Mennonite Central Committee, World Vision, Save the Children, UNICEF, the United Nations Foundation and SO much more. So I encourage you all to visit http://www.one.org/ and consider if this is something that you can support and agree with. I for one will continue to wear my bracelet proudly and answer any who ask about it. Jesus said "That which you do for the least of them, you also do for Me." Good work people, if we don't give up we might just make it through this day!

Feeling pretty good right now...

I am NOT having a bad day! I have just sent out a total of six resumes in the last two hours. I have a good feeling that one of them will come to fruition. It isn't raining outside yet so I am going to hurriedly post and then walk down to the Library. (Hopefully there and back before it rains again.) Well hot dang! I actually just checked the weather....I don't have to worry 'bout no rain no 'mo! I was under the impression that today was suppose to be wet and dreary. Now iIfind out it is suppose to be clearing off with SUN this afternoon!!! This day jsut keeps getting better!!!! Oh I have a picture to share with you all. Now there are several things about this picture that I want to discuss. First off, wow am I glad that those in the morgue remained dead! I was a little worried there for a minute. Although that woud put a whole new twist on death if being shot when you are dead revives you back to live...but no it just isn't so. Second, what kind of idiot goes to a morgue to shoot dead bodies? What profit is there in it? They have already had their personal effects removed from them, they have no watches, wallets or credit cards! They can't plead for their lives, thereby giving the shooter the rush of being in control and having the power. They stink, they aren't even going to bleed. It just makes no sense at all. But then again shooting living people makes no sense to me either. I guess if there is going to be someone shooting I would rather them shoot at dead people than live people. So now I am off to the Library...I don't know about you but libraries hold a special place in my heart, I just love 'em. The way the books smell, the wealth of information, they're just wonderful. So I am off (in more ways than one!) Keep up the good work people, if we don't give up we might just make it through this day!
