I know it's been a longer time than usual since I posted something. But I couldn't seam to think of anything to write about. I could do something about all the political things going on, but what different things could I write that has not already been said.  I could write about the shooting at that airport, but why.  He's just another young person who didn't see a future for himself and did not want to live so he wanted suicide by cop. For some reason he had a beef with TSA and decided to use that as his excuse to go off the deep end. Seeing he was afraid to be alone in death he wanted to take someone with him. Well he survived so that plan did not go as he had planned.  I wonder how many video games he played? Just asking, so don't get your undies in a bunch. I'm not saying he played allot. But what else do bored young people do now a days when they see nothing for themselves to do.  I could write about the weather. There may not have been the...

This past week this question has been on my mind. With all the things that have been happening lately I decided to ask people at work or that I met how they would answer three questions about respect. I was just curious to see what kind of answers I would get. Most of the answers did not surprise me. So here are the questions and summery of the answers. Number 1: Does respect exist anymore? The majority said little or not as much as it use too. Some same in some places it does. It all depends where. Few said not at all. I agree with not as much as it use too.

A few said their elders. A few said the constitution. A couple said no one. One person said an old gym teacher. Because he help him with an important medical issue. I will say I respect my parents. I guess your parents should be at...

Yesterday I was talking to the youngest one about different things. I'm not sure exactly how we got on this one subject but I think it was something people should really think about. We got on the subject of what we learn in school and how much of those things we use after school. Also why they don't teach more things that are more helpful once you get out of school. What I mean is that allot of kids do not have the slightest idea how they are going to support themselves. Allot of kids do not have any clue on how much it really takes to be a success at not getting into financial binds. Not only do allot have problems with money but they can't seam to do anything for themselves without allot of help from others who are really having a hard time taking care of themselves. Some people will say that those kinds of lessons should be learned at home. I ask how can they learn when their parents never got a clue on how to do things better. Most of them are so wrapped up in their pr...
