Shit on a graham cracker, what is this...some 450+ posts since I last logged on? Hell if I am going to slog through all that nonsense!
Someone cull it out and send me the important information, would you? Especially the posts that speak well of me... |

I am SO friggin sick of hearing about "Octo-Mom". I am sure you all know of whom I speak. The woman that recently gave birth to eight kids and already has six others, yet has NO job, NO insurance and NO husband! Nice. I suppose I could follow the lead of countless others and complain about the obvious but, that would not be nearly enough!
It is bad enough that this woman has blatantly abused the social-support system in this country but it goes much deeper than that. Clearly, she has done an incredibly foolish and disgusting thing but , as I am now very intimate with the "system" and trying to get aid , which I have PAID for over the last twenty years, she is basically the poster child for all that is wrong with people who milk our social services. Moreover, there is the matter of her parents that are forced to assist in raising 14 friggin kids at a time in their lives where they have paid their dues and should be enjoying the peaceful existence they worked so hard to earn.
It is not just about having kids, or "loving" kids. I truly believe there is a case for abuse here, as this person cannot support what she has and yet is burdening her parents, AND YOU, with her offspring! Then there is the matter of the "doctors" that allowed this to happen. The list goes on and on and, the more I type, the angrier I get.
I have been a very fortunate man. I had a good education. A great career and great insurance when the worst happened to me. Yet, I have had to fight , tooth and nail, to get the support I have earned and I did not do it by exploiting babies. And make NO mistake! As far as this woman and her actions, it is pure exploitation for personal gain. For FACK sake, they are even comparing her to Angelina Jolee!!!(sp?) WHAT!!?!??!?!??!?!?! Whatever.
All the do-gooders and liberal bleeding hearts deserve this walking, talking human fecal matter. She is a troll and a social leech. If there is any justice in this world, those kids will be removed and given to homes where they are properly supported and not used as money makers. As for the woman, jail is not even good enough. I say bring back crucifixion.... THAT'S RIGHT! I SAID IT!

I think I was listening to Howard Stern's radio show on Sirius/XM sometime ago when this first broke and he thinks the octo"mom" has some sort of mental condition. My roommate and I both are of the same mind on this. She is an irresponsible, derranged woman, who like Freeze said, is totally abusing the social programs in place for people who are in these situations - mainly through no fault of their own. I know some people like this myself, and it makes me ill to my stomach to see them get ANY SORT OF PUBLICITY!!! That pisses me off more than anything.

Dont feel bad Bev. When I was a kid they did allergy tests on me and found me to be allergic to my own hair back then. I got a buzz cut from hell. Everywhere I went with my dad, since he is a barber and knows everyone, People would say, "That's a nice looking son ya got there Teddy!" I would just smile, since I was a Tomboy, I could have been called worse I suppose. My dad would always stammer, "Well, no that's my daughter, she just has short hair." LMAO

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!!!! COMCAST!!!!! I HATE THEM!
If I were to post a picture of what I think they do to people, it would be banned!!!! LOL
Today, I went and stood in line at the Comcast office for over a half hour and the guy right in front of me
turned in a digital cable box which had stopped recording (which I know the feeling of) and the girl
told him she couldn't get him a new box because they were all out. He lost his good humor at this point and
was getting very aggitated, so I told him about my story about last night and then several others told their
little nightmare sceanarios of dealing with Comcast.
I was suprised the girls didn't shut down the customer service windows. There was blood in the water and the
sharks were swimming in tight!
I was very glad that when I got up there the nice old lady could find my account, but she did tell me they changed my account
number after they sent the bill out. Huh? WHY?
I would kill for a better alternative in this town, but the Satallite services cost almost as much once you add internet.
Guess that's my rant for this week. I'm not allowed any more! HA!!!
I just wonder if I went in and kissed the old lady's ring and spoke in low tones and asked to see the father would I get an
offer I couldn't refuse. LOL

That's true, HB. My Accord is a mere 15,000 away from 60,000 miles.
Scorp, be glad you only need the sensor. My roommate needs a new catalytic converter for his 04 Sentra. |

I NEEDED A NEW KNOCK CENSOR. THAT WAS THE MAJOR PROBLEM. WHILE HE HAD IT IN THERE I HAD HIM CHANGE THE OIL AND FLUSH THE RADIADOR AND PUT IN NEW ANTI FREEZE. (HADN'T CHANGED THAT IN THE 7 YEARS I HAVE THE CAR.) HE CAPPED OFF ALL THE OTHER FLUIDS, FILLED THE TIRES WITH AIR. THEY WERE RUNNING LOW. (I'M AN IDIOT WHEN IT COMES TO MECHANICAL THINGS. CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR MYSELF) PARTS AND INSTALLATION $350.
OH WELL! I HAVE BEEN LUCKY WITH THIS CAR. HAD THE TIMING BELT CHANGED AT 60K MILES. THAT WAS THE ONLY MAJOR EXPENSE OTHER THAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I TAKE THE WIFE AND KIDS UP TO LAKE GEORE EVERY YEAR SO I DON'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT THAT FAR AWAY FROM HOME WITH A MAJOR PROBLEM. |

come to north america, you need an act of god, or a special order most of the time to get a manual trans. last car I bought, I searched for months to find one that was 4 dr, with air, abs and a stick. I had 16K, and it was in 98, one would have thought I could find one easily, but no. settled for a ford contour (mondeo to you). was ok, not the best.
I miss driving a stick.

I thought the routine of driving with your knees was strictly a North American thing? Don't forget, people have been known to read the newspaper while in traffic too.

Yeah, right... I bet you were one of those that sit in the front row, and raise a hand everytime the teacher asks something...
With us, grades and coolness usualy didnt have a lot in common... The cool ones were those that had nice, shiny clothes, and a regular girlfriend. The rest of us were experts at skipping school, forging excuse notes, cheating at tests... And studying Jackass movies. Dirtbags, in short. But in the end... We all passed, and it was a lot of fun, I suppose.

I can't imagine what you have to deal with over in the U.S.... it's bad enough here and i am on the other side of the world.... not even in the same hemisphere!!!!!!! You know sometimes i feel that we Australians should have a chance the vote in the American presidential election...... Lord knows we have to deal with the outcomes of it.....

For all of this talk (and it clearly was only talk) that he "transcends" race, he and his sycophants are sure quick to scream about his color! Jeez, it is still on the local stations!
I have been in the position of "losing" the election in my life.I can handle that. I did not vote for Clinton either time! I got over it. Sure enough, for all of his hype, he proved to be just what I thought he was. I truly hope I am wrong about Obama. I want him to do well. It will serve me personally and that is important! But this is just too much. It has reached the point of stupidity. (Quoting Message by Head banger from Tuesday, January 20, 2009 3:02:48 PM)

Oh yeah i knew it!!! I payed attention in school....
"About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies. This strange quirk perplexes the rest of the world; but there is a perfectly good reason.
In the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him. Moreover, it reduced the chance of the scabbard (worn on the left) hitting other people.
Furthermore, a right-handed person finds it easier to mount a horse from the left side of the horse, and it would be very difficult to do otherwise if wearing a sword (which would be worn on the left). It is safer to mount and dismount towards the side of the road, rather than in the middle of traffic, so if one mounts on the left, then the horse should be ridden on the left side of the road."
Class dismissed!!! Mwahahahaha!! -Might add that if i feel the need to joust in traffic i'm in a better position...!

Umm... Cars were invented in Germany. Or better said, it was an internal combustion engine on a carriage that was otherwise pulled by horses... But hey, it was a start.
Oh, and Germans drive on the right side of the road, as does entire continental Europe. I think that the left side is only in use in the former British empire.
Oh, and I agree about the lashes. Make them 50, tho.
