“The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good.”
“Remember happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think. ”

On the back in large bold print is a list of political candidates whom this ill named committee “Respectfully Recommends the Following Candidates who Have Been Interviewed and Endorsed” and an offer for a ride to the polls on 5/4/2010. I’m all for giving people a ride to the polls, no issue there. I’m all for educating anyone who can’t get the information themselves BUT to outright tell people to vote because a committee says so… BOOM! I lost it. What kind of twisted sideways pig to slaughter type crap is this? Someone explain this insanity! I tried to call the number listed to give them a piece of my mind… no answer, no machine.. gee, I’m shocked.
Grrrr…..

Now that some 15 years have pass and I can look at the finite facts of everything that I tried to instill in my children, let’s look over the lessons. One; never lying to them or sugar coating answers to their questions no matter what they were. Two; always sacrificing my body mind and heart so they would have a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, food on their table and even toys for holidays and birthdays. Three; never stealing from anyone even though it would be easy because of the trust gained. Four; never disrespecting their mother in public nor private. Five; leading by example and never asking them to do anything that I have not, would not or could not do.
With these five elements I went about raising my family to be productive responsible adults that would make a positive impact on the world. My daughter will be 21 in August, Allowed her to come back home 4 times to get her self together since leaving home at 18 because her choice was leave or be honest with us what happened when we were at work. She chose to leave. At this point in her life no job, 8th grade GED education, no drivers license (doesn’t know how to drive), no medical yet (trying to get medicaid) relying on others to take her places and has no will to put forth the effort it will take to survive.
My son who just turned 18 who has not been home since turning 14 because he like his sister did not want to be honest to the people that mattered the most has been in and out of the system of staying with relatives, jail, level three group homes, level two group home and now couch surfing. Has a job (he’s a male he’d better dick is free pussy costs), 9th grade GED education, knows how to drive but no license. Has all the great ideas in the world but no follow through and follows the wrong types of influences. He has managed to go from level two group home, turn 18, get kicked out of roommate set up, refuse help from said level two group home and get his girlfriend kicked out as well in three days.
My only hope is that at some point all the sacrificing their mother and I did will matter enough to kick start their brains and they will grab their ears and pull with all their might until they hear a vigorous pop. Because they are really suffering from a sever case of Rectal cranial insertion.

Look not for a solution to your problems but rather the strength to get out of bed in the morning and off the couch to do what you know in your heart to be right. With this, our problems will disappear or cease to be important.

These are the things we’re supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain and try to slow up
Alzheimer’s Disease.. It took me 4 times before I could finally tell this brain of mine to concentrate. A great
test, do it until you get 100%!
Bet you can’t get 100% on the first try! But I’m rootin’ for ya…
This is pretty neat! See how you do with the colors! Have fun!
It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%. Follow the directions!
It’s harder than it seems, as it should be!
A brain waker-upper for today!

This is fun… interesting. Enjoy!

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is reportedly an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so ‘profound’ that the professor shared it
with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, is why we now have
the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.. So we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at
which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul
gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for
how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions
that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are,
we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now,
we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law
states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the
same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all
Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? (more…)
