Something’s gotta give, and soon!!!

Posted on by

It seems life is much more expensive today and I‘m definitely not making anymore in order to keep up with it all.  Most people I know are trying to do more with less, and now I am considering doing less with less.  I have certainly been traveling less, less road trips, less trips to the stores by making more purchases on-line in an effort to save more gasoline.  Vacations have been less the past several years, and I don’t see myself booking and trips to exotic locations with expensive hotels any time soon.  Then to top it off, Michele’s father going to jail and that means no child support.  I might have to get a part-time job to make up what I’m losing there.

What is in my mailbox now?

My stimulus check has finally arrived.  I thought it was my usual junk mail or worse yet, another bill.  It sure couldn’t have come at a better time either.  With my daughters father not paying child support since he’s in jail, it will definately come in handy.  Now I have to figure out how to make it go as far as I possibly can.  I’m pretty good at that too so some just might have to be put away for a rainy day.

Did she just say what I think she said?

Katy Perry’s new song ‘I kissed a girl and I liked it’ is very quickly becoming the one of the most popular songs these days and I can certainly understand why.  I remember the first time that I heard it on the radio. I started bouncing around in my seat with it’s great upbeat music and I didn’t even pay that much attention to the words until the song was about through.   I remember thinking “Did she just say what I thought she was saying?” and getting a a funny look on my face.  I’m not sure I like what she says.  There is enough confusion these days between the whole lesbian/gay thing and young girls don’t need the added pressure of liking that song only to be called a lesbian because they do.  I don’t think that is a consious decision a person makes.  I believe they are born that way or not for what ever reason.  I also do not feel it makes a person good or bad.  A persons heart determines that and not their choice of companion.

Going Shopping!!!

I have decided that Michele and I need some new clothes, new shoes, and maybe even a new hair cut too.  I found some great deals online with coupons to shop at name brand stores online and save a bundle.  I love to save money!!!!  I just felt that we needed something to lift out spirits and make us feel special for a while.  I saved enough money online with the coupons to pay for us to have out hair done so we got the hair part free is the way I see it.  You really need to look for online coupons too.  You’ll love them as much as I do if you like to save like I do.

Back on Michael Hayes

If you go back to the article at www.myfoxwghp.com and go to the comments at the end of that page, you will see a comment that was made about his parents trying to get help for him, but were told to ‘Wait until Monday.’ That seems to be a major problem in the mental health community. I guess it’s not good to have a mental crisis on the weekend because you might interfere with plans someone in the field might have. Can you believe that? Wait until Monday? Since the family was told that, then I don’t see why those people aren’t or weren’t held partially responsible for the murders then? Doesn’t that make them partially responsible? It does in my mind, but maybe my mind isn’t on their level, and I am thankful for that, if that’s the way it is.

My daughters father had just gone to the doctor or hospital the day before he went nuts. I don’t know what was wrong with him but there were oxygen tanks in his apartment and some other type of equipment I’m not familiar with at all. All I know is he was told not to smoke and use the oxygen. I don’t know if he has burned his lungs smoking crack cocaine or if he’s sick. I don’t know anything anymore it seems.
