Layoffs
Well, in a piece of news I find particularly disturbing, we find out that the American condom makers are having to make layoffs. The layoffs are a reaction to continuing production jobs going over seas. I fear condoms from China. They can't even make pet food that isn't poisonous. I do not want to risk STD's and baby drama to something made in China or Taiwan. So please, when you buy condoms, buy American. Please.

I am at a loss for words...
We've all seen the stories: couple married at Waffle House or Wal-Mart or whatever. This one is a story about a couple that married at White Castle.
" Usually people get married in a church, but think about it, it's going to be a wedding to remember," the bride's friend, Kelli Vanarsdale, told WYMTNews.com. "How many weddings can you go to and then talk about it later and say 'Hey, I had a wedding in a White Castle!'?""
There are so many things wrong with this I almost don't know where to begin. Can you tell by the sound of my typing that I am grinning and shaking my head? But I did say I ALMOST didn't know where to begin. Let's start with the quote "it's going to be a wedding to remember" Well yes. It certainly will be one for the books. The part of the quote that really makes me chuckle is "how many weddings can you go to...and say 'Hey I had a wedding in a White Castle'"
Well I can attest that in my life I have never met anyone that has been married in a White Castle. Is this something to be proud of? Is this something that you are sitting around with your friends and say, wow that's cool that you did that at your wedding but listen to this...? I just.. I really am at a loss. The grooms brother even went on to tell the news that "It's a beautiful thing." Check out the video,they look like they might already be related and if you listen really closely you will hear the banjos. Couple Marries in White Castle Wedding Ceremony - AOL Food

Cat-fight old school
This story makes me giggle. It is a fairly common occurence of two women fighting over a man. I will say that I think fighting over a man is stupid. No man is worth making an ass of yourself to prove yourself the alpha female, when he is a cheating bastard to begin with. If he's not cheating, but won't pick one at a time, he's still not worth it. And women who feel they have to fight over a man don't know their own worth. Move on and respect yourself first and foremost. OK so I never told you why it made me giggle. The women were ages 72 and 78. Seriously? Yep. Although the youngster of this story nearly got shot. Don't mess with an old woman with a gun! Fortunately for the younger woman, the gun misfired. I guess at age 78 the older woman had not kept up with proper care of her gun. It seems that the worst damages done were hitting, scratching and hair pulling. I tell you what, I would have paid good money to see two 70 somethings fighting! Check out the video clip from the news, you'll see what I mean!

Immaturity
This post is a personal rant. Those of you who know me, know that every year I go to a hat party. It is something I look forward to every year. This year I won't be going. Why? Well, here's the thing. I have no idea. One of the hosts told my dearest friend D. that I was not welcome. We have racked our brains and can't figure out why. Now the hosts have not bothered to tell me that I am not invited. So your next question is why wouldn't I know if I didn't receive an invitation? Here's why. The host has, for years, said that once you've been invited you are always invited. I have received invitations off an on over the years. And those of you that know me know that I have moved frequently over the past several years. I thought nothing of not getting an invitation because who can keep up with my address? It has been a party that, if you get an invitation in the mail, you are asked to spread the word to those who did not. Well that is still true, unless you are me.
I understand that I can be brash and offensive. I know my flaws. I am aware that sometimes I say things that I don't mean as they sound. The thing is, the people I have spoken to that know both myself and the two hosts, don't believe that this is the situation. But we can't know, because, officially I am not even supposed to know that I am not invited. The hosts are just assuming that I will forget about the party till it is too late. Never mind that I speak to a large number of people on a regular basis that attend the party as I have, every year.
My issue with this is not that I am not invited, it's that no one has the balls to say it to me. If you tell me you don't want me in your house or at your party then I won't come. I am a big girl. I haven't seen this kind of thing since, I don't know, High school. We're inviting the cool kids, don't tell so and so there is a party this weekend, she is too nerdy, we can tell her after the party has already happened. I have had a lot of thoughts run through my mind as to how to deal with this. I first thought about emailing them and asking them why. I thought about driving out to their house and confronting them in person. I have thought about sending out a notice to everyone that is normally invited telling them what kind of crap this is. And I have thought about playing stupid and just showing up to the party as if I had no idea that this year, unlike every other year, I am not invited. ( I will admit to the fact that I am still seriously considering the last one as immature as it is) But I keep coming to the same thought every time I ponder all this. If I act at all, I will most likely lower myself down to their level. This is an idea I absolutely abhor. And secondly, I don't believe I have done or said anything to warrant this whole situation. There are a lot of factions in this group, and not everyone loves me. I normally leave those people alone. It's just not worth the energy to fake it, or fight over it. But D. and a few others believe that it may be one of these haters that has poured poison into our host's ear.
The thing is, I have invited several friends and one of my professors as I have done every year. My professor is an old friend of one of the hosts. I now have to look like an idiot and tell them all, " I know I invited you to this party and got you all psyched up about it, but yeah, I've not been invited this year." It's a completely riddiculous situation. And it's as immature as it comes. If you have a problem with me, then come to me. If I have a problem with you, I will come to you. That is how grown-ups work things out. Either we will fix things, agree to disagree, or agree to part ways. But don't tell my friend I can't come to a party that I have always come to, and then not tell me. It's just childish. So I would like input on what you all think I should do. But I will go ahead and warn you I am leaning towards doing nothing at all and just saying screw it and them!

A woman was arrested for biting her son's principal. No this is not some tale of an elicit love affair. The woman is just apparently a grown idiot. Not to mention, she is also an excellent example for her kids. The principal told the boys mother that her son was being suspended for three days. His crime was failing to go to a room for children who have misbehaved. What does mom do? She bites the principal and punches him in the face. Outstanding. Then to top it off, she assaults the cop who tries to arrest her. I wonder where her son learned his disruptive behavior from?

This just pisses me off
The people in this article rank right up there with ignorant lazy people that have babies to stay on welfare and get a check. Granted, these particular bastards are in Britain but I am sure there are some here in the US. This just shows what's wrong with the system. This couple has not worked in eleven years because, they say, they are too fat to work. That, my friend, is crap. You can't work because you are freakin lazy! They are ages 53 and 57. And are perfectly capable of working. If you can stand to take a picture, then you can freaking work. They have two fat ass daughters that at least for the moment are working. The daughters are bigger than the parents. The worst part about this story is not that they are living off of working tax payers. The worst part of this is that they are complaining that they don't get enough money. "What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It's not our fault we can't work. We deserve more," Philip Chawner told the newspaper. Grrrrr. I could just shove a chicken leg down his throat to choke him!!! I would just have to be careful to get my hand back before he ate it. I had better stop here. I am way too angry. Read for yourself. family too fat to work and here Family who are 'too fat to work' say £22,000 worth of benefits is not enough - Telegraph
