Monday has started out pretty good. I connected with an old friend and met a new one. All at the Dr.'s office. It is quite entertaining to see how a person interacts with a family member, when that is a new side to them that you haven't seen before. My friend Lorri had taken her mom up to the Dr.'s office. Her mom is kinda like my mom. Has a lot to share! Also I met the Dr.'s nurse, who come to find out lives on top of the hill from where we are building our house. Nice lady, nice to know she is there when Mike and I eventually have our heart attacks, lol. She scared the crap out of me, I need to take my heart health much more serious. I want to live quite a few more years.
I was up late last night and ordered a beautiful crocheted baby blanket off Etsy for the granddaughter of some friends of ours. Hope to take it Labor Day to the Lake and deliver it. Hope they like it! Going to go stain some trim now, got cabin laundry done to the point that I have rugs and a few towels left.
I spent hours, yes, hours, staining wood trim today. That give a person lots of time to think. I thought about the behavior of some athletes that I saw compete last night in the Olympics. One person, an American vaulter, fell on her butt last night. And yet she showed the most emotion I have witnessed out of her, when she did NOT win the Gold medal. Hello! What planet are you from? You fell on your butt! And still you hoped for the gold? Get real.
The other was the men's sprint race (100 m). These guys are the racehorses of track and field. And apparently as high spirited as a fractious horse. I am sorry, but these are professional athletes. They SHOULD be role models. The winner,a guy from Jamacia named Bolt, was acting out and generally being an idiot making faces and showing goofy hand signs... I was appalled that a man could act so stupid. Of course, being a sportsman would just be too perfect. We need more thletes to act like sportsmen.
Sometimes you just never know what you will be thinking about during the course of a day.

Spell Check. We communicate extensively in a written format. Example I will reference is Facebook. Why do so many people not use spell-check. I mean, come on people, you sound like uneducated idiots, use the right form of the word, if you are talking about common sense, don't use scents or cents. I think this is especially horrid when those that are in the teaching profession do this. Especially English language teachers.
Money. Why should I use a realtor, yes they are professionals, to sell my house. They charge 6%. I have yet to see how they earn the 9K that I would have to pay them to sell my house.

Boring blurbs, Gays, and Race

Things that "just aren't right"
People that use the news/media as their bible. Go and find out what really was said/done. Don't rely on a blurb.It's boring, your argument will be shallow and I just don't care.
Gays. Why is it that a particular group of people constantly try to judge others about who they choose for a life partner?? The bible says it's a sin. Hell, I do my share of sinful things. Just don't try to get me to say your sin is "OK". It's not. I don't have the authority to exempt you. I don't have any personal problems with homosexuality, but is it any worse than some of the sins I have done? No. But I don't ask you to exempt me. That is between me and my god. I don't know anyone that has the right to throw the first stone. But I also don't think that marriage is covered in the civil rights of our country. I may be wrong, but then, I usually am.
Race. We are all part of the "human" race. The media/politicians/ regular ol' people...use the race card to try and divide people. No matter what my ethnic background happens to be, I am part of the human race. That is how I want to identify myself.
