My Auntie Do! Let me tell you . . .

I should have known better when I first saw my Auntie Doreen with a Google page.  My Auntie Doreen, who we call Auntie Do is about as old school as you can get!  As far as she is concern technology is an enemy for the enemy.  So we have to give her the benefit of the doubt when it comes to social media because she still is illeteral to both social media and technology. (Sidebar: I just ask for an ass kickin from her! WOW!)  Now when she started posting simple things I was like "Good Auntie you are catching up with us in the social media world!" I was so proud of her trying to keep with not just her kids and grandchildren but also her nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews.  And then she had told me that she wanted to try to keep up with me. (Giggles . . .hahahaha!) Right, too funny y'all!

So does a good niece like me do?  I teach her the simple things with certain apps that she can use and have fun with.  That way she can show a little something something to her son Larry and to her nephew (my cousin) Quenton.  I can not show and explain every thing that I know because it will be way over her head to the point I will get a beat down from her for her not understanding.  Now this would include her finding different apps for variety of ring tones.  (She heard my Japanese ring tone and she was like "I want that on my phone!"), so I did.  I had to teach and tell her to stay out of her settings because she kept changing things and then want to know why her phone was not working.  AUNTIE!!! For real?

Ok, now that was a while back in this year and recently my Auntie Do decide to  IM in Facebook.  Now I hope y'all are sitting down when I explain this.  Most of my family members know that when you IM me on FB, I get trigger finger happy.  And when they send a post they let time goes by before sending another message.  Because once engage in a conversation on IM then for every one sentence they are typing, I have already given them eight sentences which often leads to them telling me to slow down my typing so that they can get a word in.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen I am laughing my ass off because I can image their faces as I am typing the words in the screen and pressing send.  The only person who did not know about my happy finger was my Auntie Do and boy did I let her have it.  I started off slow with her in the speed and slowly I increase my speed of typing.  Then I started to go so fast in the my typing that Auntie Do managed to typed "Slow down B*tch!  You are typing too damn fast for me to read."  I was on the floor dying from laughing.  But then Auntie Do let me have it too. . . . I got every bad word in the dictionary follow by "I ought come up there and kick your genius ass!"  For me it was a great torture practical joke well done on my Auntie Do to make up for April's Day!  It was hilarious!

So then later by a few weeks, I had finished another piece in my blog and a couple days later I was checking on the status of my blog when I came upon something that struck me like hhmm.  My Auntie Do, y'all she was at it and she cut loose on Google+.

The message read like this:

• Dam Victoria stop we cannot keep up with you stop baby please
• Larry wife can Quenton can but auntie can't I am old o by the way I am moving to Huston and packing up Wednesday looking for a apt in Huston Thursday love you (Now this is a great topic for Is That English!)

So in my mind I was like "What did I do wrong now?" and I did something I knew that I should have not done - I called Auntie Do. (Here is another ass wooppin' that I done introduce myself to.)   Auntie Do answers the phone and she said "Hello sweetie!" and there was something about how she said "Hello sweetie!" that made me nervous at the same time felt funny.  I told her that I read her message on Google+ and that I got some understanding of what she said, and as I was trying to finish my sentence Auntie Do just goes in and rips me a new one, y'all.  (I could not breathe! I was laughing that hard.)  She begin to tell me about a conversation that she had with her brother (my uncle) Rodney.  She and Rodney were trying to figure out how the click the link on their cell phones to read my blog.  (I am trying to get my head around the fact that these two need and took an hour and half to conversed on how the click the link on the cell phone to read various webpages!) Both my Auntie and my Uncle were trying to, not only, console each other on the complex of how to use the new technology of the smart phone but also teach each other on how to use social media on their smart phone.  How many of you have family members like my aunt and uncle?  (That is funny shit, isn't it?)

Y'all, I am not going to call my Uncle because that is another ass woopin' I would be introducing myself to and I need to keep the current ass that I have.  I don't know why my aunt figured that my uncle would be able to help her out with something like that: he is as dead as a door knob when it comes to technology.  But between the two of them they still until this day, cannot figure out how to click the link to open the page. 

Simple instructions people: to open a link, just move the mouse over the attached link until it turns blue and then click it.  It will automatically open on another webpage.   Now if you are opening the link on a smart phone like my aunt and uncle, then the link itself is already blue and all you have to do touch it one or two times. This will be followed by a request as to where you want to open the link on: either Browser or Chrome. (Most of us have ready enter our password to use Chrome and have set it up to always be in use, right?)  Now explaining this to my aunt was like taking a beauty pageant queen camping.  NO! it can not happen nor can it be comprehend. 

For my Auntie Do, today's technology features are too advance for her even though the act of it is simple to do. For us tech savvy people most of us can not comprehend as to why they, referring to some elderly and to those who are technology challenge, do not get these simple features.  Yes, we can zip through them with the greatest of easy and that is why we love technology - because it makes our lives easier.  Am I not right?  Raise your hand if your are a gadget person?  If you have 5 or more of today's technology gadgets then raise your hand?  Hhhmmm . . . yeap!

My Auntie Do got ONE thing! A smart phone and she still can not figure it out! 

But y'all, for my Auntie Do, I am the one who is getting her ass kicked because according to her, auntie Do, I am the smart one of the family.  But does she not know that I have blonde moments too? Yeah I know how to configured switches and routers; and I know how to use Visio to create a network connection in an office of building; and I know how to do the math to create 1024 IP addresses from 255.255.252.0/22 in Class B IP address.  Aw hell people! I will just take the ass kicking from Auntie Do as I explain the simple stuff of technology.

 I need life insurance for my ass.  Is that possible?

The Reason for Striking?

So many of you know that I live in Milwaukee, which for me I am still trying to get use to. Why? Because having to live a long time in Chicago and have lived in Istanbul, Turkey, can you now understand the small factor here?  If you have read Research this Dum Dum! then you can understand why I am still trying to come to terms about the size of  the city.  Any how, for a while the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) and the County of Milwaukee have been in talks regarding the bus drivers contract. There were so many things that did not know make common sense to me at all and has made me mad about the whole thing in general.

Now for those of us that take public transit to and from work/school, we know from first hand that sometimes the bus drivers will ask to be excused for a moment while they run to go to the washroom.  After all they are driving those buses for well over an hour time in one direction.  Of course they got piss or whatever, even I may need to take one after being on the bus for more than 30 minutes.   So I am wondering how insensitive of the board of directors to not allow them (the bus drivers) to have ample amount of time to use the wash room let alone have a decent lunch or dinner.  Those wide asses take an hour lunch, why can't they?   They are really the one who are providing that service and have to deal with the public on a daily basis.  But this is one small reason of many as to why the buses drivers are in an uproar.

Image your company telling you that they want to hire 100+ more part-time drives who will not be obligated to participate in the retirement fund pot.  Giving employment is always a plus however sacrificing your current employees is not.  Then to understand that they (the board) wants to change the current retirement benefits that is in place by ending it soon than the expire time and extending it as to when you can retire to receive the full benefit package.  I can see where this double punch can be a threat for the full-time employees especially since they are working really hard for their retirement fund.  From this last part of the sentence, since after July 4th about 22% of the MCTS drivers (those who have been there for more the 10+ years) have cashed in on the current retirement plan and quit all together. 

Now from what the news has been reporting that the average bus driver in Milwaukee has a salary of $62,000 a year. WTH!  I want to make $62,000 a year and all those who also would like to make $62,000 a year raise your hand!  But after talking to some of the drivers on the routes that I catch to and from work, many say that it only possible because of the overtime they often have to do.  There are some complaints in regards to the part-time workers who there now because some of them have called off work simply because they want the day off.  Well hell, let me do some overtime like that too.  But the bus drives are not just complaining about what they are asking for; it is because the board of directors are not willing to at least compromises on them.  And because of this non compromising mentality the bus union had declared a 72 hours strike on July 1 at exactly 3:00 am to July 4 at 3:00 am. 

Ladies and gentlemen, the action which I describe in the previous paragraph caused three things for us everyday people.  One, we had to scramble to fine other means to get to work which include many of us having to walk a great distance to work.  Two, some of us lost three days of pay, and three, a few of us simply lost our job.  And what was the two things that board of directors thought they could do for us everyday people to try to smooth things out.  They give us one day of free access on the bus system and depending on what kind of bus pass you had, you were compensated as much as $10.50 for those three days.  WTF!  Let me get personal for second (*sigh*). . .and say $10.50 does not compare to the fact that for those three days I lost $432.00 in wages.  Them f**kin fools played with my rent!

Now the two main men who are doing these damn negotiations are J. B. for the Bus Drivers Union and C. A. for the Milwaukee County. (For the protection of the two parties involved and two I do not want to be sued for having an opinion that comes along with freedom of speed!) Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me for a minute for I am about to get real on this one.  If I was Mr. J. B. (yes I got some inappropriate thoughts regarding this man) I would tell C. A. pussy ass to man up since he is always talking about what is good for the people of Milwaukee and that the money that he is dealing with belongs to the people of Milwaukee.  And as for J. B. with his pencil dick ass, needs to stop playing around with people's jobs.  The bus drivers themselves do not want to strikes because they got bills to pay and that mistress to suppose.  But wait, gets even better, towards the end of July, in the mist of negotiations, these two fools here said they will resumes talk on August 10th and the first thing that came out of my mouth was "Which one of these two asses is going on vacation?" 

Ladies and gentlemen, I do apologies for my insensitive speech in this piece, however no body likes it when someone else is missing with your money.  Can I get AMEN?  We all got bills to pay and mouths to feed.  We don't have time for stupidity nor can we ignore coming to compromise in the work place to get your employees to provide better services to your every day paying customers. 

Now negotiations here in Milwaukee are still on going between the County and the Union.  And I take it that things are not going well because I keep getting a different bus driver on my way home.  It is as if I am doing speed dating Monday thru Friday with a hint of Russian Roulette!

What I have learn so far!

In my Introduction to you piece I had mention that I have been wanting to write for some time and I wanted to write about my experience of living Istanbul, Turkey.   However upon me starting to write I started to come up with all these different ideals as to what to write about. When I started my new temp assignment, my job wanting me to do research on how to start a blog and maintain it for work.  You see my job has a blog but they were not doing anything with it, just sitting there waiting to be acknowledge.  I (at that time) did not know anything about starting a blog let alone maintaining one. So I started spending countless hours on research.  (After all I am the research Queen!) Reading valuable advise and helpful hints to expand my understanding as to exactly how blogging is done with the help of social media, it can help get the viewers and/ or make money from writing a blog.  Sweet! However I am not in it for that.

The one of the few things that I keep seeing is that when writing my blog make sure that I make it mine by being myself.  Ladies and gentlemen, are you guys for real?  Are you saying that it is ok for me to be myself in my blog?  That in it its self can be dangerous and the reason I am saying this is because I do wonder about a lot of things and I have a lot of ideals that I want to put on paper not just
in what I was originally wanted to write about. I definitely want to have fun with it and be hilarious in what I write.  I know that there will be sometimes where I would have to be both objective and subjective in what I write.(Hhmm!)  However anything and everything that I will write about will be written in sincerity and from my heart. Ok I might throw in some hormones (giggles. . .hahaha!), however I want people to know that I really do like to write because I believe that I can best express myself when I am being angry, aggressive, passionate, silly, and psychological in a common sense kind of way.  After all my blog is called "The Common Sense of It All!"

Another thing that I learned was that I should have at least a pipeline of 15 drafts set up and getting ready for publish onto my blog.  Now this is all cool and dandy if you are planning to post a piece a few time in a month.  So in my mind I am thinking that if I post about 8 pieces in a month's time, that 2 post each week, then I should be good, right?  Now take into consideration that people like have lives to live. And this would take some serious commitment on my part to actual sit my butt down and focus on writing these pieces.  With that said, I soon quickly started writing in short quick drafts and saving them so that I can finish writing them later.  Now for me this does make common sense to for the fact that I can add little by little while I am thinking about that topic and other topics. See the thing about writing is that you always have to go over what you are writing about and have the "I" dotted, the "T" crossed, and the punctuation in the right places.  it also causes you to do some extra research if you have to.  That will not always be the case with me because I am writing to express myself for everyone to view my mental picture. 

Now as I continue with my research, I am also starting to real understand the importance of using social media to work in my advantage. Sharing my blog on the major social media websites like Google +, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Stumble Upon would help reach people that I would normally would not have.  Though I am not too sure about LinkedIn because that is very professional website and what I will be writing about will not have any relations to it.  With Pinterest I would need to learn how to create those wedges so that you pinned my blog if you like on Pinterest. This was another thing that I had learned as I was doing my research on starting a blog.  And as for Stumble Upon, this is a new website to me so I really have to explore it some more.  But here is a contradicting thing that I ran across.  Some bloggers were saying that having too many social media can to bad for you.  Not understanding this piece of common sense at all!  However since I am writing for pure enjoyment, I will stick to the top 6 that I mentioned earlier.  And for those of you who are looking into blogging for money should do further research into Snapchat, Vemco and others.

This brought me to a question as to how would I go about organizing my social medias with my kind of schedule?  I am like everyone else; I work a full time job and I go to school full time.  I have a family life, a social life, and sometimes a dating life. (That is a strong sometimes!)   So in my research I recently learn about Buffer, Hootsuite, and Rignite and how they help me with spreading my blog across various social medias all at one.  For what I understand them to be as three different websites that can help you to monitor all your social profiles in a single dashboard as well as letting you to engage with your social profile from it.  But the thing with them is that there is a small monthly fee to use any of the three, and I would advise to everyone to really think about how you use social media before getting one of them.  I was not happy with Buffer because I was only able to add LinkedIn and Twitter; Google+ was not available to supposed however I can still add other social websites.  Rignite let you have up to 30 while Hootsuite allows you to have 35 social medias.  Now this got me to think about just how many social medias did I sign up for and now I have to make a list to understand what I signed up for out there!

I think the number one thing that I learned from my research is . . . be careful with your spelling and prevent typos, especially with Twitter! It is damn shame that we only get 140 characters to say everything.  However this is why proofreading is very important. To correct yourself before posting. Because you can't do rough drafts on Twitter!

WOW! I can not believe how much time and effort I am really putting into getting my blog out there to entertain people with!  And I am still researching because it is always good to have that knowledge in the back of your head for later situations. (After all I did say Research this Dum Dum!)  This acknowledge is going to help me to share my writing abilities, my wittiness, and my crazy thoughts with everyone.  Well, not everyone, only with those who have common sense.

Stay tune everyone . . . . (A smile with a wink!)

Research this Dum Dum!

I believe that I have found a new addiction to have that will not cost me a penny.  It can probably make me some penny if I do it right.  However if I am not careful it can create for me some difficulties that I am choosing not to have.  It all started when I decided to go back to school to get my associate degree back in Chicago in 2008.  Part of my homework assignments call for me to do some research on various things. I graduate with an Associate to move on to start working on getting my Bachelors, and then there were more things I had to start researching for.  My research started to expand beyond homework and into new interests that were slowly being developed.  From food, to wine, getting out and about around Chicago and into watching Korea soap dramas.  But then I moved to Milwaukee where my research came all about getting around this small town.  Yes I did say small town because that are less than 700,000 people living coming after living in Istanbul, Turkey with a population of 14.3 million people and Chicago with a population of 2.72 million people. 

Here in Milwaukee I find myself research about the history of the city as the culture that once exist here before coming to where we are now.  Reviewing the restaurants are a must especially since I found a place that will delivery ice cream; yes, ice cream! (Thanks Pizza Shuttle!) Watching the local news has provided some interesting bits for my to do some research on; the Milwaukee name itself has been interesting upon looking up.  And I would encourage everyone to take the time out to really good to know what is in your neighborhood, city, state, and country.

I am learning that the more research that I do the more things I am learning about, even though most of it has no interest to me, however it is always good to know some things.  I usually don't care for cars but lately I find myself getting excited over them.  I also get excited about researching major companies like Samsung (huge fan here!), Rolls Royce, and Jeremy Clark of Top Gear (him of all people!).  When I am on Google+ chatting with other members about various things especially about IT relate things, I always say that I recommend that they do the research to see what they find. 

Now my job, I am not an news anchor or scientist however I do feel that by doing the research on various things, even on those subjects that have no interest to neither you or I, however it could be very beneficial to us in the long run.  I think that men in particular should do extra research on women since they are often confused by us.  (Sidebar: being a woman does have it benefits and I love them!)

In fact I think that before some people open their months and say something that they have not otherwise say (and this would include me from time to time) should do some research first and keep their mouths closed later.  Because we live in a society where the information is right at our finger tips and some of us are choosing not the gather that information up to make us stronger.  What is the old cliche, "A mind is a trouble thing to waste!' and yet there are some of us who are literally refusing to use that very beautiful gift, are wasting our own mind.  But then again there are some who believe that they are full of accurate knowledge! Right!  It is called tunnel vision, break it so you can see the bigger picture here dum dum!  But then again there are those who do not have common sense and think that they are geniuses, right!  And there we go with that damn tunnel vision.  That is what leads to ignorance and non tolerance of others' behavior and inexcusable social behavior. 

So as I continue to do research for work and for school, I vase knowledge of whatever can be good for me and terrifying for my family. Why? because they want me to be done with school already!  Hahahaha . . . . maybe NEVER!!  There is simply too many things to be learned. 

This boy from Ireland!

Now usually I do not write about celebrities because I don't think much about them in that way or any other way, but come to think of it; I did have a whole fantasies thing with Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes.  I may talk about them in good spirit or repeat a rumor that I do not believe in, and I will wish them happiness.  Of course if I don't like an actor or two, well there must be a reason.  However the kid that I am about to talk about in this piece has cause me to have mixed emotions which is quite an accomplishment because I do not do emotions. 

I first saw this kid (Sidebar: Yes I get to call him a kid because he is younger than the 5 years radius in which I would date him.) when I was living in Istanbul, Turkey (2001 - 2004) in the movie Bend It Like Beckman(2002)! I am a huge fan of Keira Knightley and I love it when she does time pieces.  I think she is at her most beautiful-ness when she does those kind of movies.  I saw him and I though he was a pretty boy with those eyes that can cause trouble for girls. Ok! I thought.  The next time I saw him I was visiting France (2005) and I saw him in Match Point and I was like "There is that kid again. My has he grown up and got himself a little manly man there.  Oh how nice to see him."  Being a fan of Woody Allen, I thought this movie was one of best piece after Small Town Crooks and Scoop (love Scoop!).

I saw advertisements for Vanity Fair, Alexander and Elvis but did not put two and two together because I was not interest in viewing those movies and I continue to see ads and reminders of Velvet Goldmine, which is another movie that I have not seem.  I did watch the movies The Emperor's Wife and Mission: Impossible III  but I did not realizes that was him. (Sorry sweetie!)  I was mad while watching Prozac Nation and I wanted to tear them kids a new ass!  However I felt in love with him in August Rush, but then I was like "Oh that poor baby.  You are breaking my heart!" "That damn kid!"  And let me tell you - that is when I started to get emotional over this damn boy! (Yeah, didn't I tell you that I do not do emotions?)

For the next years I was busy with the Illinois National Guards, work and school but I saw the advertisements for Tudor and I heard good things about the show including its nominations.  I also heard something bad going on with him personally around this time and I prayed that he got himself together and become stronger.  But I am sorry to say that I have yet to see the show however I did recently purchase the TV Series to watch later.  I did watch From Paris with Love, with him being the character of James; see I am long time fan of John Travolta however I did want to snack him upside his bald-ass head for the trouble that kid had to go through with his (Travolta) crazy ass.  (Smiling over here) I have to admit that kid did look real sexy in that role and it was enough for me to purchase it.

Sorry to say from 2010 and up until now still, I have been pretty busy getting my degrees and that both television and movies, I could not make time for until last year.  Now . . .how many of you paid attention to CBS when they broadcast the television series DRACULA?  I happen to catch it on episode 3 when he and Victoria Smurfit were going at it (Lucky BITCH!)!  (Sidebar: Where in the hell did these emotions come from?)  I was configuring a switch, writing out the subnetting for the ports when I  looked over and saw that scene and it made me forget what the hell I was doing.  It was enough to cause me to go through Cable on Demand and look for episodes 1 and 2, but then I got stuck on episode 1 with the bathroom scene; you know the one where he is coming out of the tub, getting ready for the introduction ball.  Yeah, that scene and who ever was the one behind the camera I need him to come to house and create that same scene with me coming out of the water like that.  OMG that was completely sexy! It was just enough to make a girl wonder . . . . can we play wash up? (DID I NOT TELL YOU BEFORE THAT I DO NOT DO EMOTIONS?)  BUT HELL!!

Watching Dracula cause more than emotions than I have to give! Mr. Alexander Grayson had me ready to pack my things, get a ticket to London and be his personal bitch.  That in itself is saying a lot!  This MAN portrayed Alexander Grayson as a strong, passionate, "I won't be Damn!" kind of man attitude. Lord have mercy and this is a good thing.  Mr. Grayson's manner was a six pack of whoop ass already open for a sip. (Hhmm, I want glass!)  I will not get too carried here because Dracula: The Introduction and series will be coming out soon. Oh yes I got some words for Mr. Grayson and the whole Dracula series. (NOW I HAVE TOLD YOU TWICE ALREADY THAT I DO NOT DO EMOTIONS?)

But let's move on about. (sighing for sec here!). .this Man today and his works that have caused me to look at him with a new fresh set of eyes. (See, I am single now and mama can put you on her lap for desert!)  Yeah, I heard some bad things about him, and I sure that during that time that something happen with him where he needed an outlet and probably did not know where to turn.  But that is his business and he is allow to express himself, after all he is human, just like the rest of us.  The positive parts that came from all that and it IS all good because from that negative period in his life, in these past recent years, we (the fan and the admires) have watched him become this superior actor that can adapt to preform in a variety of characters including those in 6 Souls which I so want to give him a beat down for creepy ass neck thing and for going after the child.  Yes, you will get the 6 souls and the host and I found this movie to be heaven for me in a psychological I took it apart kind of way. (Look for that piece in my blog later.) Just know that I had fun with it! (LOOK HERE! I AM NOT TELLING YOU NO MORE!  I DO NOT DO EMOTIONS!)

Let me come, and please do, to a closure of this piece.  I am so anticipating all of his future works which would include Stonewall and Damascus Cover.  I am praying that DRACULA will return for a second season because I so need a fix and badly! (I am buying a whole news set of towels just for that season!) And Francis, if you ever play another role like Valentine Morgenstern, I'll kick your ass!

Mr. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.  I am wishing you much success . . . and food! Boy, is somebody feeding you over there? (A smile with a wink!) Take care sweetie!

Why take Revenge!

Now I am not one to seek revenge out on people for any reasons.  Yeah, I will cut them with a few words but to simple go after them and do actual damage to their reputation or cause some major bodily harm is way too much for me to do.  However I am one to say the I do believe in Karma and I have always say that what goes comes around, and it will come back to the person who did the harm to some one or to those who had not cause them harm in any way.  For me revenge is when some one who told you that they never do something in regards to you, due to one reason or another wind up having to come to you in humbleness and sometimes in shame. 

But that is not always the case especially in marriages and friendship.  Lord knows us women can be extremely vindictive towards our husbands (or at least I can be when I get marriage again).  We woman will try to and often success in taking everything away from him just so that he does not have to opportunity to share with that other woman. (Ain't that right ladies?)  However there are some husbands out there who knows how to take half as well and this often leaves the wife madder than before.  For example on the news about some weeks ago there was a story about a husband who wanted half of their possessions.  So what did he do?  He got his chainsaw and cut everything in half and this would included the couch, the televisions, the bed, the dressers, the refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer, and the plates, everything in the house which they have shared in their marriage.  Yes he literally split everything in the house in half.  (Sidebar: I want to know what the hell she did do to cause him so much angry?) 

I was on the website Reddit when I came across this joke:

There was a man who had worked all of his life and has saved all of his money.
He was a real cheapskate when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife:
"Now listen, when I die I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. Because I want to take all my money to the after life."
So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died she would put all the money in the casket with him. When one day he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to their best friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait a minute!"
She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket and rolled it away.
Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in there with that stingy old man."
She said, "Yes, I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was to put that money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."

Now I had a boyfriend like him and I am so thinking about how slowly I can torturing him.  In what method to use because there are o many ways I like to try out on his butt!  And you know what is the sad part is?  That I had thinking about this for quite some time now.  Yes I have! And there are times I wish I could slip his ass an Viagra but nevertheless he is who is; and I am currently accepting new applications.

Now as a child growing up I often heard my grandmother say "Do unto to others as you will have them do unto you!"  At that time I did not understand what she meant until I reach adult hood and the older I get the more and more I find myself doing exactly that, treating those in the same likeness as I would want to be treated.  Though sometimes that is not often the case because we all will and do cross paths with some people who are just pure evil in their hearts and no matter have nice you are to them they remain evil.  I think that is where "what goes around comes around" come from and would you believe that many of us do not realizes that karma is visiting us at the time when things are not going way.  Most of us will cough it up to bad luck or something else not realizing that is Karma the lady herself playing and refusing you things that you are seeking. 

So if you don't mind revenge is not something I do not want to waste my time on.  Beside that I am not interested in blocking my blessing.  But who knows who will cause me to lose my mind, right?

Coming ahead this month . . . . .

Happy August people!  I know for some people this is the month that you have been waiting for.  Why? Because your kids go back to school!  And you are looking forward the having that peace and quiet for those few hours at home.  You will be able to get most of your house hold chores done, complete those long waiting errors without having the kids in your hair, and perhaps getting to salon on time for once. 

However with this month also brings a new set of goals to complete and those few remain tasks from last month to finish up on.  but this month I also want to discuss what is going on here in Milwaukee with the Bus drives vs. the city negotiations.  These negotiations have been going on for quite some time now and there has even been a 3 days stop drinking strikes. ( Don't get me started!) As I writing about this, I believe that it will come in 3 or 4 pieces; depending on how pissed off I get in writing it!
Of course I thoroughly having conversations with the buses drivers themselves in getting their put about all of this.

This month also wraps up for me in one more class finish for my Masters.  In 3 weeks I would have to take the finals; isn't it funny that you know when the final is coming but yet you are still not prepared for it?  However believe it or not that is when I need a bottle of Gray Goose to be sitting on my desk.  And as September slow itself to us, I have no ideal what class I need to take next term. 

What I do know is that for some us we better hurry up and use some of those PTOs we have left, get a head start on that school supply shopping, and make a list of the Christmas toys that you need to purchase now.  (Yes I said Christmas shopping.) But before we get that far ahead, for those of you who have teenagers in high school you should be getting ready for the Homecoming dance first. 

I feel for all the fathers whose daughter(s) are going on their first dance!  Mind wrecking isn't it?  So you got all of this month and next month to think about it!
