I am laughing my ass off over here. I've never seen anyone act so childish in my entire life!

A friend of mine was accused of "harrassing" some girl because she was told that she slept with her husband a few months ago and she confronted her about it. The girl cried like a little baby to try to get someone in trouble for doing NOTHING! Joke's on them... The cop who came to see my friend also thought it was nothing but a joke and laughed his ass off, but I would take offense to the whole situation if I was my friend. Hell, I woulda pressed charges on HER.

It must suck for this girl to fear losing what she lied to get back in the first place. She didn't want her boyfriend when she thought he was by himself, but when she found out he was dating someone, she found out that she no longer had any control over him and she had to have that control back. Not that it mattered-- my friend who was dating him wasn't really into him anyhow and had been cheating on him the entire time they were dating. I wonder what it felt like to try to steal my friend's husband from her? I wonder what it felt like when she found out that he was only using her and he wouldn't sleep with her???

See, at first my friend thought that they had slept together, because that is what she was told, but then she found out that she sure tried to sleep with him and that he turned her down because she is too big for his liking... he likes a little meat on his woman's bones, but he doesn't want to have to flour them to find the hole! And now she is trying to cover this up because her boyfriend (the one that my friend had dated) is now out of prison and if he finds out that she tried to sleep with my friend's husband, he might leave her. Course, she sells her company on the internet and otherwise anyhow, so if he will put up with that, he should put up with a small indiscretion while he was locked up... not like she succeeded anyhow; aside from the aforementioned reason her husband wouldn't sleep with her, he doesn't sleep with "escorts." (If YOU are interested in "escorts" in the Wausau or Antigo area, visit these webpages: http://www.escortreviewworld.com/escort-service:404.html, http://www.angeltyler.com/)

The funniest part is that this girl who thinks she has her hooks in her man so well, doesn't know a damned thing... Like I said, the joke's on her... She should ask to see her boyfriend's visitor's list from when he was in prison... there is a person on that list that visited him on a regular basis-- the very person she told him he had to stay away from. Guess he still doesn't listen too well!!! And the joke-- well it's on her.

Liar, Liar

Take a look at the picture above... what do you see? Do you see two faces, one perpendicular to the side and one at a bit better than a 45 degree angle, or do you see "Liar Liar" written in cursive handwriting in two different colors?

It's all about illusion: Illusion of the mind created to make us believe things that are not true and illusion of the eye to make us see things that are not necessarily there. I hate liars. I hate being lied to. To me, there is no worse crime than a lie. You can beat me, emotionally abuse me, degrade me every chance you get, but do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT lie to me! There is nothing worse than a lie.

Regardless of what has been done, if you never lie, you never lose your integrity. Lies perpetrate lies, and he who lies, cheats and steals as well. That is what I was brought up to believe. If only I could trust the person who lies to me, I could get through absolutely anything else that has been done, but when a person lies to another, trust is completely nullified.

The only real remark I have to say about lying: think twice before you do it. Remember, no matter what you ever do, if you always tell the truth, you NEVER lose your integrity, and you will always be ahead in life. Lies wreck people's lives, hurt family and friends, and take away all the trust and honor that has been bestowed upon you by the ones who trusted you. Is that really worth losing? In my mind, hell no it isn't, but I guess we all have our own value systems.

Men Who Take No Interest in Their Kids

Today I gripe about men who throw their kids away. What gives a man the right to father children, play with their little minds, make promises to them that he doesn't follow through with, and walk away from the best things that he has ever done in life???

I mean, what makes these men tick? I have the two most beautiful children in the world, and their father has pretty much simply walked away from them. It's not like I got pregnant and he didn't want the kids... we were married and both wanted a family.

He goes months without seeing the children... makes promises to them about when he will see them, what he will get for them, things he will do with them... and then nothing. My second husband is essentially their father. He has taken on the role of Daddy, and both children look at him as such. In fact, after not seeing her biological father for almost a year (his choice, not mine), when she did see him, she wouldn't call him Dad until my husband told her it was ok and that she was special because she had two daddies.

He also does not financially contribute to their wellbeing whatsoever. Hell, he still tries to borrow money from me and has taken my son's social security check more than once for his own wants. I have a court order for child support, but they don't do anything to enforce it. Two years ago I wrote off over $12,000 in child support so that he would take care of the children while I was really sick and in and out of the hospital for a couple months.

It's not like I am hard for him to get along with either... I don't push for the child support... I don't try to withhold the children from him... In fact, I encourage him to spend time with them, and though the monetary help would be greatly appreciated, I would much much rather that he spent time with them and was there for them emotionally. I would write off his child support every year to keep him out of jail if he was there for them as a father-- if my kids could grow up and say that their daddy was there for them all the time and they could count on him.

Any of you absentee parents out there who neglect seeing your children think about this: one day you will have to answer to those children why you weren't there. You will have to explain why the bar or whatever was more important than those babies were. And someday, when you are old and dying, maybe because you weren't there for them, they will leave you alone as well to live out your last days with your regrets... Think about it. Just pick up the phone and make the call... tell them you love them. Take a day and do something with them. Hell, take an HOUR and do something with them! They are worth it and the time you spend with them will enrich all of your lives. There is no job more rewarding, and the benefits are awesome!

Why Do People Ask for Help They Only Want to Find Fault With???

I receive emails daily from many people... hundreds and hundreds of people. I enjoy reading the jokes, get all tingly about the inspirational emails, etc. There is one type of email that gets under my skin... I really love it when people email a whole bunch of other people asking for help with something and then find fault with every plausible solution that is offered to them.

So, I have come to this conclusion: these people don't want help, they just want to bitch and have people feel sorry for them. If you offer them a solution, they shoot holes through it faster than you could ever imagine. But if you commiserate with them about how absolutely terrible and hopeless their situation is, THAT makes them happy.

Take, for example: person A emails group B about how she really needs a job she can work from home. Person B from the group emails person A and tells them about a great opportunity that would cost nothing to start, except they would have to put in a less than $20 a month phone line to work. Person A says they cannot afford to do this, so Person B tells them that the phone company will bill them and they will have made 30 times that by the time the bill is due. Person A continues to find fault and makes it clear that they didn't want a REAL solution, only to bitch and have people feel sorry for them.

My point is, if you don't really want a solution, DO NOT ASK FOR ONE!!! Simply state, I WANT TO BITCH, PISS AND MOAN ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE MY LIFE IS AND I WANT YOU TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME. Don't ask people to go out of their way to think for you when you have absolutely no intentions of employing any solution they may offer. If you ask for help simply to see how many people care enough about you to reply, heed this: sooner or later, people are generally no longer going to give a shit about what you need "help" with because they will see through your bs and just hit the delete key. I know I sure have learned where my delete key is!

Airports, Airplanes, and Smokers

Let's talk about the airlines for a bit....

First of all, I flew to Montana last weekend to take my niece to her mom who had just moved there from Wisconsin.

When booking our tickets, I found it appalling that it was more expensive to book a round trip ticket and a one-way ticket than it was to book two round trip tickets. Guess what??? I booked both of them round trip and my darling niece simply did not fly on the way back. What kind of sense does that make??? Beyond that, my niece is two years old... past the 24-month mark when you can fly with them on your lap. Though I was not allowed to fly her on my lap and not pay for the extra ticket, they still allowed me to hold her throughout the trip! Also, she weighs about 30 pounds and her ticket cost just as much as my ticket did... no discount for a child. Essentially, I paid for a seat that did not need to get used.

Another thing I really love is when you get online and check your flight status and what gates you are flying into and departing from in your connecting airport and you find that you are flying into gate C13 and back out of gate c14. Mind you, I checked this info directly before leaving for the airport. Then you get to your connecting airport and find that you flew into gate B14 and have to go to gate F10 on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AIRPORT to connect! I don't know why I bother checking-- it's never right. In the 50 times I have flown in the last 2 years, I think that only once or twice did I actually get accurate gate information. Why post the information if it is totally incorrect???

And airports in the North have absolutely no consideration for smokers. You have to go out through security at the main terminal to go have a smoke before you depart. Then you go through the bullshit of getting back in through security again. Now, you get to a Southern airport and even if there is no room in the terminal area for passengers who are smokers to smoke, you will find a restaurant that allows you to smoke. This avoids the huge inconvenience of having to go out through security and back in again. Even if they want us terrible people who smoke to go outside, there should be a place within the area only ticketed passengers can be to go outside and support your habit! I understand the non smoker's right not to be exposed, but smoker's have rights too and it's about time we were treated that way! We pay our taxes on our cigarettes in hefty amounts to have that right.

Basically, flying is a convenience when compared to driving, but the airlines make it seemingly inconvenient in little ways. And they know that you would rather fly and get there faster than drive, therefore, they really don't care enough about the little things to make them any easier on us.

This REALLY Gets Under My Skin

This really gets to me... this man was convicted of raping and murdering a woman in California... he was scheduled to be put to death by the California Department of Corrections in February. Two hours before his execution, it was called off because the judge had ordered that a doctor give him the injection. No doctor would do it because of ethical issues, so on he lives.

Here's my question... WHO WORRIED ABOUT THAT POOR GIRL'S CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT??? He sure as hell didn't when he raped her, tried to strangle her (the belt broke), stabbed her, and left her to die in a remote vineyard in California in 1981. When does this girl's family and loved ones get to stop their cruel and unusual punishment? The system is backwards. Maybe we should go back to the electric chair... then this asshole would have something to bitch about. Did he properly anesthesize this girl before he did her in? I bet not... Now I am not either pro or against the death penalty as it stands today. But, I do believe that if a state sentences someone like this to death, that should be carried out in a timely fashion. If now, the state did not have a death penalty, the family would have had closure a long time ago when he was sentenced to life. They wouldn't be suffering waiting for a sentence to be carried out.
