Bullying

I had a thought last night as the news was going on and on about the upcoming presidential election.  They were talking about the back and forth of "He said.....well he said.....and he said...."  You know the garbage that goes on and suddenly it made me think that it was a form of bullying.  Do you see it?  It's a grown up kind of bullying and name calling.  Do we ever grow up and get away from our youth?  Why can't we play nice on the playground and quit the name calling and verbal shoving that is going on.  Every four years, no wait every year it goes on and on.  We are trying to teach our children not to bully, not to shove, not to be mean to other people, yet here we are everyday on the television a reminder that we are not doing what we preach.  How will we ever change?  How will we ever make an impression on our children to be better people when we NEVER change.  I don't care if it's the name of the game in politics, STOP IT!

Stepping down from the soapbox.

One Restful Day At A Time

Sorry I've been missing, but Sunday there was just nothing to say and yesterday the migraine monster popped up.  I started seeing a white light-thingy-squiggly in my eye and knew that if I didn't get proactive and take something and close my eyes for a bit the migraine would soon follow.  So far, I've been pretty successful in keeping them at bay with simple Advil and I was yesterday too. 

This is day whatever of my not exercising, so far so good but looking forward to getting back to it next week Wade.  The knee is better but not great and even last night as I was walking it just went with a sharp hot poker feeling again.  Got to be easy still. 

Trying to find something to write about today, the first thing I do is to go to the NaBloPoMo website for an idea which always is posted the night before.  I went and there was NOTHING!  What happened, someone fell down on the job there.  Have we run out of ideas or did the idea person just go to sleep, forgetting their job.  Now I'm left to my own imagination for ideas, as usual! 

Think I'll have an opinion on some stuff:

• Oklahoma politics - Stupid!  Makes me want to move.
• Politics - Stupid in general...Really, Republican party, is this all you have to offer up, really!
• The Bachelor Ben - Stupid!  Is it really surprising he picked her or that he took a step back after he saw her antics on the show.  My take is that it won't last.
• Just heard a news report about people stealing Tide detergent from store shelves and re-selling! What?  Hmm, black market Tide!
• Pinterest - Not so much anymore...Delete!  Had posted some stuff that I felt might not be accredited back to me, the creditor!
• Girl Scout Cookies - Not in my house! (Really would like but the hips not so much.)

Super Tuesday

Today is Super Tuesday here in Oklahoma.  I really can't wait till this stupid election is over, mainly to have different news to watch.  I'm already tired of the commercials and every single news program is nothing but election stuff.  The main thing I'm ready to end are the phone calls.  They come every single day, several times a day, Sunday's included.  Yesterday, when I got home from a very long day at the office I checked our phone messages which usually area NONE.  There were no less than six messages, one was a message we needed.  That meant five were political and they were all within less than an hour.  I'm glad I wasn't home.  Last night I went to the walking group and while The Hubby was home but on a walk with Clayton I came home to find the light blinking.  There were another three messages, one an actual message.  It is just ridiculous.  I deal with sales crap calls all day long at the office and trust me, you don't want me to answer your phone call.  Normally I am a very nice person on the phone but sales calls and now political calls...OOOOOOooooo!  Unfortunately the political ones are usually automated and recorded,  I can't rail at anyone person! 

Politics...??? Who Me!

Two down and four to go. Do you think more will drop and we can start all over again! Here's to wishing!  We need a whole new cast of characters please.


Mitt Romney
Ron Paul
Rick Santorum
Rick Perry
Newt Gingrich
Jon Huntsman

The Subject I Said I Would Not Talk About!

Yes, I'm doing it again but it's not too bad, or is it.   Politics.  There I wrote that nasty word. 

(Now, no nasty comments please.  This is my opinion and only my opinion and just what I think as I have that right, okay!)

Here in Tulsa there is a ton of uproar going on with our city government right now.  The mayor and the city council are at each other's throats and frankly I've had just about enough from ALL of them.  It's kind of like he said, she said, they said, you said but we, the public, really don't know who said what.  I have to say that, in my opinion, some of the councilors have been on the city council way too many years and need to bow out.  I think they are just a little too comfortable in their position and take advantage with the notoriety that it all brings, good or bad.  Politics.  I think that if you "go into politics" that it shouldn't be a career.  I think that can bring all kinds of problems with a persons ego and a skewed view of power.  I kind of, kind of think that politicians should not get paid, that it is a volunteer job.  I know that is not realistic but it would be nice.  A politician should be there for the people they represent, not what they want out of things and I think the longer they are in office, that is where it can kind of get a warped outcome. 

I'm sure this doesn't make a lot of sense but I just had to get out of my mind this garbage so I can stop thinking about it.
