My Daughter the Shock Jock!

By -
We went trick or treating this weekend. It is usually an adventure to do so with 4 children with disabilities. The main issue is how long will they last. With one daughter, I have to worry about needing to use the bathroom. It went well this year. That is until my social butterfly told an older woman that she was a "grown ass cow" for Halloween. This stems from many years ago when her sister told us that she was a "grown ass teenager" for Halloween. Of course, she had a teen attitude. The younger sisters ran with her statement. I do think my daughter does is out of shock value. The thinks it is funny. We keep reminding her that she can't do that to people she does not know.

Trump Ends by Highlighting his Failures

By -
Trump is giving a speech at the reflecting pool. The same one with shoddy work paid to a contractor linked to trump. He also wants to show off all the gawdy things he is doing to Washington DC. Gold plating everything, while taking commission on it. This guy is tacky with a capital T. Then, there is that Nazi monument he wants to build to himself. He is putting it in front of Arlington. That should be a slap in the face to those who served and died on the battlefield. I bet he thinks his accomplishments outweigh their sacrifices.

Why I hate Sports!

By -
When I was younger, I used to watch sports all the time. Things have changed. What changed my mind? Money. Greed. These people make millions to play a sport. I think teachers should be getting that kind of money. Players do not teach anything. They do show what greed leads to. Then, you have the owners. The most greedy people in the world. They always complain that they do not have enough money, especially when it comes to building stadiums. They blackmail municipalities to pay with their tax dollars or the team will leave. Then, they get the rent from the venue, etc. Look at coaches, just like CEO's. They get these huge dollar contracts. They might start out strong and then fail. When it is time to cut them, they have a payout for their contract. Failing upwards. Players do not get paid equally. Usually, there is one star and then the money trickles downward. You have players risking their health for one or two people. Do they get a bonus when injured? Unfort...

Eating Out is Overrated

By -
Beware eating out at some of these chain restaurants. Basically, you are eating frozen food reheated. They may have created the meal, but places like Sysco have used cheap ingrediants to come up with mass produced versions of it. Plus, you have to contend with the restaurants not paying employees what they are worth and expecting you to foot the bill. I'm happy staying at home and making my own meals. I pick the ingrediants and it is not some frozen tv dinner. Are these companies making it any cheaper to eat out? Look at these CEO's claiming poverty while getting billions in bonuses. They get them even if they are failing. Once it is time for them to leave, they get a golden parachute to thank them for their failure.
