Today I talk about some interesting “coincidences” that happen as my old car died (199,009 miles ) and I got approved for a car loan (I couldn’t even get a best buy card a few months ago). And I needed a reliable car as I drive about 400 miles a week.

Luckily a nun with a 2003 Toyota Corolla traded in her car (with 39,000 miles on it). I got a car that I will have to work to afford the car payments, but I don’t have to worry about it breaking down.

I had started off the day with Joel Osteen in my head saying “God wants to do you favors if you just ask.” So I did, and he did. Thanks God.

Love and Respect

Key Points:

Your relationship will have issues. Men and Women are different. When you learn how to address the differences, you have a better chance to get off the “Crazy Cycle.” The crazy cycle says that when a man acts in a non-loving way to his spouse, she feels unloved. When she feels unloved she acts disresepectful to the man. When the man feels unrespected, he acts in a non-loving way (and aroudn and around you go).

Its a great book and a great conference. Check out Love and Respect at amazon.com

I’m not making this up. MTV has a new show “Sex with Mom and Dad” where Daddies little skank has been knocking boots with her boyfriend without protection so we bring in Doctor Drew to get her to talk about the details of her sex life with her parents.

They are so proud that she’s going to be a responsible slut.

I couldn’t take it when the switch to the homosexual who dates “bad boys” and his Mom doesn’t approve.

911 Cab Service

People are calling 911 to get an ambulance to take them to the corner drug store. They won’t help themselves. This is an EMERGENCY number.

People Who Have Quit Life

I went to a school for high school children who “couldn’t make it in a normal school.” They are from ages 12-22. There is a probation officer on site. This is funded by you and me via taxes. This is their last chance to get a diploma. All they have to do is show up and breathe. There are no tests, quizzes, OR GRADES. There are competencies. If you can do this, you pass. If you miss three days in a month, you are kicked out (but can sign up again next month).

This opened up my eyes and I just can’t conceive the idea of quiting life, and expecting the world to do everything for them. I was the first kid in my family to graduate from college. I’ve paid for every dime of my college (both times except for a few grants). It’s taken me longer, but I’ve done it. I didn’t sit back, expect someone to do it for me. It’s just sooooooo weird, and yet I saw it with my very own eyes.

I’m happy that there is this oportunity who do want to try. However, for the 25% (my number, just guessing) who are sleeping in class, we are paying for the school, and we are paying for their welfare. It’s time for them to pick up the check. Worst case scenario they go to jail – and WE PAY FOR THAT TOO.

I don’t have an answer. Hope is not a drink we can sell them, they drink it, and they’re fine. It just doesn’t happen. The bad news is the people who are working are paying for these people, and as the economy goes into the toilet we need to look at things to cut. If these people will not even try to help themselves then… I don’t know. Do you?

My New Name is AIG

So the US Government is broke. Here is a solution:

Instead of giving 85 billion to greedy pigs on wallstreet, why not give it to everyone who is an adult in the US? (301,000,000 people). Give the government 30% (so they get 25,500,000,000 back immediately). This would leave everyone with 297,500 to um. PAY OFF THEIR HOUSE, or their credit cards, or their sutdent loans, and nobody is in debt, and everyone wins. This includes the people who screwed up on Wall street, and the people fighting over seas.

Why can’t we do this? If we’re going to pay someone PAY ME!
