  2. I just wonder where this allergy came from because it seems so prevalent now.

    I really think part of it is we are all freaking out about getting sick. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap after everything you do. Take a medication if your not feeling 100%. God forbid we let our bodies fight infection and build an immunity to stuff.

    An email I got once, enititled "People over 30 should be dead":

    According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived.

    Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.

    We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.)

    As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

    Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

    We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors!

    We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.

    We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

    We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. No cell phones. Unthinkable!

    We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms. We had friends! We went outside and found them. We played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt.

    We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents?

    We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.

    We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.

    We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them.

    Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

    Some students weren't as smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. Horrors! Tests were not adjusted for any reason.

    Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected.

    The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law. Imagine that!

    This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one of them!

    Congratulations!

    EXACTLY! But now, we have become such pansies and weenies.

  3. Don't rush to judgment. The husband could have been abusive and what she did was the only way to get away. It happens wait till you hear her side of the story before the name calling starts.
    Maybe, except she left her kid. If she was in an abusive relationship, and left her kid, name calling still ensues.
    Then she should have taken the kid with her!

    Exactly what I was going to say. I sure as hell wouldn't leave my daughter behind. That's really dicked up on her part. And to think I posted this article in the first place to possibly help. :nono:

  4. I accidentally bought crunchy peanut butter. I hate crunchy peanut butter on PB&J sandwiches.

    Lesson: Don't assume things will be where they last were in Walmart. Due diligence is required.

    :nono: Crunchy peanut butter is the ONLY way to eat a PB&J sandwich.

  5. Shoot it over to me, I'll look it over.

    I had 12 to look over two months ago for a position I was hiring for - good gawd were some of them awful. If it takes you 6 (!!!) pages to tell me what you've done, umm, I'm not even looking at it.

    lol, I've been told anything over one page, MAYBE two is too much.

  6. Maybe if parent's would teach their kids some values instead of making the schools and government do it, they wouldn't be saying to buy certain brands. And if parents would make their kids go outside and play instead of sitting in front of the TV with a bag of chips, they wouldn't be saying 100% juice.

    Now I am not saying I think them saying what brands to buy is right by any means, for a public school system. Private schools, they can say whatever, you don't have to go there.

    I have more to say, I just can't find the words. Its late and Im tired.

  7. Was wondering if there was anyone near me that is able to write well worded resumes. I hate writing them and am not very good at it. If there is someone that would help, it would be greatly appreciated. You can come to my place, or I can go to yours. would like to do this in the next couple of days. Pizza or beer of course.
