Dumbass Niece

IMG_2219My 24 year old niece did exactly what I expected she would do, go back with her abusive boyfriend.

About 1 month ago she called up at 10pm saying he was cheating on her and she was leaving him. Now she was over 8 months pregnant so a whole bunch of family went over and moved her that late at night. She took anything that was hers, took money out of the bank, and used all their EBT card they had. She swore all along it’s over, that’s it. I laughed at her then saying, I’ll give you a couple of weeks. Well I think they may have made it a month. lol

He cheated on her while she was 8 months pregnant, he treats her like a slave, and she loves him so all of that is OK. The sad thing is they have a new baby in the middle of this now. They’re staying in a trailer that should be condemned. It’s really not fit for human habitat.

We’ll it’s not the first time shes left him and it won’t be the last. The sad thing is she worn out her help. Everyone now seems to say, let her figure it out on her own. We won’t be losing any sleep and wasting any money helping her again. I guess some chicks sorta like a little abuse, turns them on.

If she’s dumb enough to go back then she’s dumb enough to figure her own way out without anybodys help this time. She’s a classic user, she knew she was just using everyone till the baby was born and that she was going back to him. She’d look you right in the eye and swear it was over and she would never go back… lol Laying Ho.

It’s Mothers Day…

ashannonI cooked my wife breakfast and then dinner. She had her favorite Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast and for dinner she had noodles with Alfredo sauce, butter cooked shrimp, and mixed vegetables. Not a real complicated dinner but one everyone seemed to love. Or at least everyone compliment me on how good it was.

Shannon got to sleep in until about 11:30 this morning and then she was able to take a nap this afternoon. I really do hope she enjoyed her special day.

We didn’t get her the ring she wanted we are still a few hundred dollars short. Within a month or so we should have saved up enough money to get it for her. She will get it just a little late.

The Mothers Day Eve…

mom76Tomorrow is the day we celebrate our mothers for giving birth to us. After seeing what my kids put there mother through it gives me more appreciation for my own. lol

My mother is 76 years old, she had me at 25 years old and turned 26 one month later. I was the second of 4 children. My older sister will be 52 this year, my younger will be 49, one year behind me. My youngest sister will be 45 this year (December). When you hear the expression time flies …it really does. I remember plain as yesterday my and my sisters playing in my grandmothers back yard, or riding in the back of that 1970 Ford Custom pickup truck. We roasted in the summer and froze every winter. All these years later I still don’t know why or I don’t understand why we did or couldn’t have a car. You don’t buy a single cab truck when you have 4 kids. What were they thinking or NOT thinking.

Well I didn’t want to get off to far, I’m just telling my mother that I love her and wish her a very HAPPY Mothers Day!

Our Septic Tank is Full

We’ve lived here for 4 years now and we have NO idea of the last time the septic was pumped. Well ready or not tomorrow we’ll spend a couple hundred bucks and have it emptied. So at least we will have a date and see how long it will take before it needs pumped again.

In my ‘Home Inspectors’ class the question always comes up about how often should your septic tank get pumped. The correct answer is never if it’s working properly. Some people say at least every two years, but my Spring Hill house has not had the septic pumped in over 18 years now. If it’s not broke don’t fix it is the motto to live by!

I need to start exercising

I really need to start exercising daily. I think what it is I hated exercising in the Army, because we did it everyday, and I’ve never grew to enjoy it. But I’m at a point in my life that I need to exercise because of health reasons. I don’t mean running, just a fasted pace walk. Along with some stretching and basic calisthenics.

What I really need is some type of motivation…

exercise

If she was in front of me that would give me some motivation to get me moving after her. It is so strange how a woman’s chest can motivate me! I’m sure I’m one of the few men that find this major motivation. LOL

My Niece Had her Baby

Finally it’s over… She had the baby earlier today, I’m happy that is over but sad the way her life is going. She with a 4′-10″ asshole who manipulates her into anything he wants. He’s lived with his girl friend for the last month and the night the baby is born he the doting boyfriend. It’s really sickening to even see it. Neither of them work, how they still have a broke down trailer I don’t know, but I guess they’re getting back together.

She has baby sat kids for the past year to support them but now with a brand new baby shes not going to be able to for at least 3 – 4 weeks. He is driving a friends car around with expired tags on it. I can just see disaster approaching… hopefully not, but I can’t foresee anything else.

Good Luck, She is a beautiful baby…

Canadians Top 10 List about America

Number 10) Only in America…could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate campaign fund-raising event.

Number 9) Only in America …could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans – 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

Number 8) Only in America…could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

Number 7) Only in America…can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

Number 6) Only in America…would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just ‘magically’ become American citizens.

Number 5) Only in America….could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”

Number 4) Only in America…could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

Number 3) Only in America…could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company(Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

Number 2) Only in America….could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year – for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.

And Number 1) Only in America…could the rich people – who pay 86% of all income taxes – be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.

A Dad to a 2 year old girl

isabella6Yes at 50 years old I’m a Dad to a 2 year old girl. Now this is all a little different from what I’m used to. I have 2 sons that are going on 19 and 16. I’ve always heard they were the same to raise… oh no, or at least in my case they’re not.

It could be I’m older and more relaxed about things. Maybe I’ve actually given up on a lot of things now. The little girl can do no wrong in my eyes. She’ll do something that I know I should fuss at her about and just can’t. She looks at me with those pretty blue eyes and all I can think of …it’s OK. It’s not just me either, the boys are as bad as me. She had my youngest son push the 4 wheeler around the yard while she sat on it because it was out of gas. The yesterday she has my oldest get her pool, fill it up, put bubbles in it, and keep refilling it as she poured out the water.

That HIGH pitched scream that will shatter glass, where did that come from. Whenever she’s playing or mad that’s when we all hear it. She runs around screaming! But that’s OK, she is so cute doing it. Don’t let anyone else touch my drinking glass or phone. I guess only her and I are able to do that. When she see’s someone touch my drink or pick up my phone she grabs at it screaming, “DADDY”. – I love it when she does that.

The saddest thing about it is my wife is the one that is going to have to discipline her. I’m pretty sure I won’t if it’s left up to me. I’ll get up a night just to stare at her and stand there in AWE of how beautiful she is. She truly is HELL on WHEELS when she’s awake! Her naps are 30 minute power naps.

Bartender vs. Psychiatrist

EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I’VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT.

moleSO I WENT TO A SHRINK AND TOLD HIM: “I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy.”

“Just put yourself in my hands for one year, said the shrink. Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”

“How much do you charge?”

“Eighty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor.

I’ll sleep on it,” I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. “Why didn’t you come to see me about those fears you were having?” He asked.

“Well, Eighty bucks a visit, three times a week for a year, is $12,480.00. A bartender cured me for $10.00. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup truck.”

“Is that so?” With a bit of an attitude he said, “and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?”

“He told me to cut the legs off the bed. Ain’t nobody under there now.”

FORGET THE SHRINKS… HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO A BARTENDER!

IT’S ALWAYS BETTER TO GET A SECOND OPINION.

Today is Confederate Memorial Day!

…Where is the parties, where is the day off, where is the patriotism for the Confederiacy? Oh wait, we lost the war so that is all gone. Now it’s “what could have been”.

Confederate Memorial Day is a state holiday in some states in the United States. It gives people a chance to honor and remember the Confederate soldiers who died or were wounded during the American Civil War during the 1860s.

Alabama, Georgia, and Florida will celebrate the day on April 28, 2014! YAY…HAPPY CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY!

Something most don’t know:

68bd49a3587b7510520f6a70670078d2

“The Medal of Honor”, created by Congress during the Civil War as America’s highest military decoration for valor, was never meant for Americans who fought for the South. They were the enemy, after all.

But there’s a Confederate Medal of Honor, little known yet highly prized, that the Sons of Confederate Veterans bestows on those whose bravery in battle can be proven to the private group’s satisfaction.

The silver-and-bronze medal is a 10-pointed star bearing the Great Seal of the Confederate States and the words, “Honor. Duty. Valor. Devotion.”

The Sons of Confederate Veterans has award 50 since 1977, way more strick guidelines than normal.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis signed a law in 1862 authorizing medals for courage on the battlefield, but none was issued.
