Your Children Should Learn Spanish

July 18th, 2008 Me

This guy has some audacity! Talking down about an English language law, and saying our kids should be learning Spanish?

First off Mr. Obama, the national language if you hadn’t noticed.. is English you jerk. Yes their should be a law requiring immigrants to learn and communicate in our national language.

And you say my children should have to learn Spanish? Why? Because our country is overrun by illegal immigrants, because idiot politicians like yourself won’t do a dam thing about it?

I’d love for my child to learn several languages. In fact we’ve already started by teaching our children sign language. Please enlighten me sir how the hell are our children supposed to learn a second or third language when you politicians keep reducing education funding. Our schools can barely teach our children proper English for cryin’ out loud.



Nobel Peace Prize Runner Up

July 16th, 2008 Me

May 12 marked the death of a 98 year old lady named Irena.

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive…

She KNEW what the Nazi’s plans were for the Jews, (being German). Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried, and she carried in the back of her truck a Burlap sack, (for larger kids).

She also had a dog in the back, that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in, and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi’s broke both her legs, and arms, and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it, and reunited the family. Most of course had been gassed.

Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted. Last year Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize….

She LOST. Al Gore won, for doing a slide show on Global Warming.

Appalling!



How to tell you’re married

July 7th, 2008 Me

kissyfromwizzleThree women, one engaged, one married and one a mistress, are chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men. That night all
three wore black leather bras, stiletto heels and a mask over their eyes. After a few days they meet up for lunch.

The engaged woman: ‘The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, ‘You are the woman of my life. I love you.’ Then we made love all night long.’

The mistress: ‘Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, heels, mask over my eyes and a raincoat. Then I opened the raincoat he didn’t say a word, but we had wild sex all night.’

The married woman: ‘I sent the kids to stay at my mother’s house for the night. When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bodice, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eye s. As soon as he came in the door and saw me he said, ‘What’s for dinner Batman?”



Stimulus Checks Confiscated by the Government

June 27th, 2008 Me

According to this article in USA Today,

About $2 billion in economic stimulus rebate checks are being confiscated to pay overdue bills for child support, student loans and back taxes, the government says.

So far, 1.8 million rebate checks have been intercepted by Treasury Department computers showing that individuals owe money to federal or state governments. The biggest beneficiaries: parents who are owed child support.

My first thoughts.. awesome.. families are getting paid whats owed to them.. especially now with the cost of gas so high inturn driving up the prices on everything else.

My second thought is.. what scam! The government makes up money on paper to give to American citizens only to take it back nown in liquid form to pay back taxes and student loans owed to itself… talk about a fund raiser. And someone is really going to tell me this wasn’t planned out by our senior dipsticks in Washington? It’s almost blatent.



Amish Elevator

June 25th, 2008 Me

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again….

The boy asked, “What is this, Father?” The father (never having seen an elevator) responded “Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don’t kn ow what it is.”

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls
opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the
walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.

Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous, voluptuous 24 year old blonde woman stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young
woman, said quietly to his son … “Go get your mother.”

Family Reunion Over Fathers Day In Florida

June 19th, 2008 Me

We just got back from a 6 day vacation to the Orlando Florida area. Dad lives in Clermont so the Sammy Russo clan, along with one of my sisters and her family and one of my brothers, flew down to Florida. We planned it to spend Fathers Day with my dad and one of our other sister who also lives in Clermont… So it was a mini family reunion as a fe of our siblings didn’t make it. We spent a few days at my dads, we did our own thing for a day and we all did Disney’s Magic Kingdom for a da plus 2 travel days.

All in all it was a fun trip. A little bit of family drama mixed in… but a good trip. The bummer is I lost our Canon PowerShot SD1000 digital camera. I downloaded everything from our arrival through Fathers Day, but lost our Putt-Putt Golf pics and our Disney pics. Stupid me left it in the rental car… I think. I remembered an hour later once we were in the airport and about to enter security. We had time so we tried to track it down with Budget Rental Cars. Nothing was turned in.. so one of the Budget Rental Car employees at Orlando International Airport is both a liar and a theif, althought they say they are still investigating it. However, we haven’t unpacked, but I’m pretty sure it got left in the car.

The upside is my dad spent the day with Carrie, the Kids & I at Disney, so he has some pictures on his Canon digital camera. I guess another upside would be that Carrie didn’t “dislike” the Canon PowerShot SD1000.. but she wasn’t truly fond of it (neither was I to be honest). So now we’re forced to go buy another one. It sucks because right now it’s not in the budget.

Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment

June 10th, 2008 Me

A friend sent me this article from the San Jose Examiner… It’s about time….

Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment

State Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush yesterday in the House of Representatives.

According to the article back in the 2007 a substantial amount of the people thought Bush and Cheney should be impeached. Unfortunately they only haveĀ  about 6 months left in office now, so some speculate Congress probably won’t be interested.

The article said it best…

The president will, undoubtedly, be held accountable for his actions. But it will happen later rather than sooner.



Alternative Discipline Method to Spanking

June 9th, 2008 Me

Most of Australia’s modern parents think it improper to spank children. The other day I was talking to one of my colleagues about methods used to discipline children.

We talked about “time outs”, grounding, holding back “rewards” until the child displayed desired behavior etc. One of the things we discussed was the act of spanking and my friend explained that no, he does not spank any of his children.

He explained that what he does is to take the misbehaving child out for a ride in the car and talk. He said that usually this works and that the child calms down fairly quickly and really doesn’t take too much time.

By removing the child, in this case his son, from the immediate situation and providing a change of scenery, the child is allowed to focus on something different. Once the child has the opportunity to change perspective, things get better quickly and the child has better understanding of his place within the family and begins to understand the family’s concept of acceptable behavior.

He kindly shared a picture of the process which I share with you now.
