After watching this video a friend had posted on their facebook status I couldn't help but feel for these men and women and their families, what they go through for the people of this country. Election aside I think we really need to remember and to think and pray for these men and women and their families. Seems like the media has forgot about these people while the election has been going on kind of nice not hearing all the medias negativity about it, but sad that it looses all the recognition these people get. I for one am thankful for these men and women who are out there so we can live normal lives back here. Think about those who are away this Thanksgiving and Christmas, don't forget about these guys over there because they are doing it for us.

Like this even does any justice to what they are doing, but people need to stop saying "cut off funding for the war" and things like that because there are a lot of soldiers over there that need encouragement for what they put up with on a day to day basis a long with their families.

car buying

So Lindz needs a new car...BAD. I feel bad for her driving the car she does I know she hates it, and I don't trust it. As bad as I want to buy something cool like a Land Rover Discover (I heard the are full of problems) and no it get 11 MPG but she would look good driving it. haha. So then I go back to the Corolla I mean it will be almost new and be a very reliable great car to have. Then I go look at saabs, BMW's that are a little older and a few more miles but still in the price range, I still go back to the Toyota's I know they are great cars that last so I think as long as Lindz drives it and likes how it drives that is what we will be getting seems to be practical and being practical is a good idea right now.

Stir something up.

On my way to lunch Tuesday I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on an "Obama 08" tie. Again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn, even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

(not me something I read)

As a side note you will think that this is not relevant because it will only affect those making 250k or more a year, but I but the owner of the restaurant could be in that range, then he hires less people, the people that work there work more, and maybe he can't afford to have them all working there so some get fired, and the ones that stay have to work harder but do not earn more money. Interesting if you look at it this way right? I mean your boss having less take home will probably end up making you have less take home if they can still afford to keep you on staff. Especially if you work for a small company.

Wii?? DVD player....guess not

So I was thinking we could have less cords going to the back of the TV that is placed on the mantel by using the wii as a dvd player and not having another one downstairs. To my shock and surprise the Wii doesn't even have a DVD player. Weird. Seems like every other gaming system has one. Thats stupid if you ask me. I guess the blu ray player is the must have right now but for $250 and to have to pay more for dvds that I never buy, because I mostly just rent out of the redbox it is not worth the money until it becomes mainstream. Thats what I hate about the wii, I mean you can get on wireless internet but the thing doesn't play dvds I dont get it.

The Neti Pot

This thing is genius, I love it. I have a lot of sinus problems, I used to get a lot of really bad sinus headaches so after a few visits to the ENT doc, he told be I had broken my nose in 3 places and if I had nose surgery I would not have sinus headaches anymore, well it was the worse surgery ever absolutely miserable, but it seemed to work for a little while. Then I started to get more headaches and became way more sensitive to smells. I can't handle different laundry detergents, dryer sheets, lotion of any scent, different shampoo, basically anything different. I feel bad for Lindz she has to live with me and has to be careful what she uses for her hair and so on cause she knows I can't handle smells. When I say I can't handle them I mean I get congested and a bad sinus headache almost instantly and start feeling sick. The absolute worst smells that I can't handle at all are those plug in air fresheners or car ones. Candles are also not allowed.

So yeah, I am basically a weird-o. Ha sorry. But on Tuesday on my way home from work I stopped and bought a Neti Pot which I had heard of before but thought was to weird to try, well I have become desperate so I bought one. I have now used it 4 times and am already noticing the difference this thing is great, hopefully no more addicting nose sprays for a while. I am going to post a pic of this thing weirdest thing but it works and works awesome. check out some youtube videos of people using it.

Take Two

"I just have to ask why people are so emotionally moved by this whole election thing? People bawling and chanting at a victory rally? These people are simply public servants, politicians. Nothing more nothing less. They are not gods and I find that people who look at them that way perplexing. The idea that a person is endowed by god to rule went out with the kings and queens.

The fact is, Gov't cannot solve people's problems, even though more and more people think so, only people can solve their own problems. That is why people are constantly disappointed in gov't."

I just pulled this from a favorite forum I think it sums it up its not ones sided it is just someones idea of what happened, how emotions get mixed into the election. I liked it.

IM BACK

After some time away (got married, went on a honeymoon, caught up on everything.) I'm back. Well what to talk about on the morning after the election hhhmmmmm maybe the election. It turned out as I thought it would with Mr. Obama taking the win. As angry and disgusted as I am right now and last night, it is time to get over it and start gaining a respect for a new president. This will probably make some people wonder, but I am not going to sit here and take stabs at the guy who is going to be president for the next 4 years at least. I think if he is going to be president, I will have respect for him. I had talked with some people while in Rome about having a certain respect for our leaders, saying you don't have to like everything they do but there has to be a level of respect still in place because they are our leaders. So I am sticking to what I said. So to anyone that wants to "throw it in my face" that Obama won save your breath or your typing because it is over one side won and it wasn't what I was pushing for but there is nothing to do about it now, so I will take a positive stand about the whole thing. Please feel free to comment.
