Unbelievable Article

Judge to Rule on Merit of Christ Case
I cannot believe I saw this in the news. Obviously, a priest in Italy has broken two Laws by "abuse of popular belief" and "impersonation" for his claim that Jesus did live and was born to a couple named Mary & Joseph in Bethlehem.
The priest's atheist accuser, Luigi Cascioli, says the Roman Catholic Church has been deceiving people for 2,000 years with a fable that Christ existed, and that the Rev. Enrico Righi violated two Italian laws by reasserting the claim.

Seahawks vs. Steelers


Okay, I really thought the Colts would be going to the coveted game this year; but it was not to be. I hoped the Bucs would at least get past the first round; but it was not to be.
I don't want to even express my pick for the Super Bowl!

My best friend sent me an amusing fact. Did you know that nine of the ten most watched TV programs of all-time are Super Bowls? Thanks LB.

New Picture of Nate the Great



I would say that Nate, the Great approved of Christmas.

Keeping up with the Pervs

My brother forwarded me a site that will show all the registered sex offender on a map; so you will be able to click on each one to see a photo and details of their criminal involvement. Please save this and check regularly. I was surprised that my search turned up 179 offenders. The website link is: http://www.familywatchdog.us/

Teletubbies Revisited


When my children were very young, one of them (Names are concealed to save any undo embarrassment) was hopelessly addicted to the Teletubbies. We had large stuffed tubbies and slippers and sheets and on and on. Well, today my grandson has found a VHS tape of the Tubbies. Now do not get me wrong, I loved this program. It was a really cool show for young children and I could enjoy the cheerful little innocent cherubs also; not like Barney who irritated me.
When I did a search for the Teletubbies this is what I got as the number one find.

White People Harmful to the Environment???

According to an article on "Global Warming Could Spell Disaster for Blacks" the following statement was made: Relatively, Blacks are environmental Good Samaritans. Per capita, we (meaning blacks) emit approximately 20 percent less carbon dioxide than Whites – well below 2020 targets set by the U.S. Climate Stewardship Act. Not only do we use more energy-conserving public transportation, we spend considerably less per capita on energy-intensive material goods.
Where I live currently, there is no public transportation available for me to use. I would use it if I could, but rural areas rarely have that service.
Living in the South most of my life, I have heard a lot of black/white issues, but this one tops the list as absurd. EVERYONE will be affected by global warming in a negative way. EVERYONE needs to make an effort to keep pollution down. Why does EVERYTHING have to be a black/white issue?
I got this article off of BET.com; whichmakes sence that it is biased. That brings up another question I have; why now do we not have White Entertainment channels, magazines or websites?

A Scarlet Letter for Misconduct in Tucson, AZ


It’s not a scarlet letter. But it is a bunch of letters on a red tag stuck to someone’s house — if the occupants have gotten into trouble with the law for such things as parties, noise or litter.
Sounds like just another way to control how citizens use their "private property". Just goes to show how a couple of stupid assholes can ruin it for everyone.

Kids & A New Job in a familiar Place

Over the Christmas Holidays, the children kept me busy doing one thing of another. They went and saw the movie Fun with Dick and Jane, not really my kind of movie. Jim Carey irritates me, but they enjoy his antics. We spent a lot of time at home, just hanging out and enjoying being together. I think everyone had a real nice Christmas.
I have encountered computer issues with installing my camera; missing parts of Windows XP Service Pack 2 CD. I have tried so many times to correct this error; I am at the point where I don't know what to do. Any ideas; please help!
I just couldn't go back to the Misfit Cleaners and work there one more day. I am not a wimp or lazy by anyone's definition of the words; but that was too hard of work for too little pay. I am now doing Customer Service at home. It is with a company called Work at Home Agent and seems to be okay. At least I don't have to leave the home.
Went over yesterday and spent the morning with my Momma and Sheila, planting flowers in her yard. My dad just completed (well 99.2% complete, needs to case in the bottom only) his latest project. He built an outhouse in his backyard. He told me the symbols on the front indicates either male or female; crescent moon for female and star for male. Once I figure out the camera issue, I will have a picture. Currently it is still in camera, just waiting to be downloaded.

Health Alert for DeKalb County


A DeKalb County health inspector found a frozen guinea pig tucked in a freezer at La Sabrosa restaurant, 2857 Buford Highway. According to the chef of the restaurant it was for his personal consumption and even had a recipe that said to serve with salad and beer. Despite the frozen critter being found in the freezer where customer's food is kept, the inspector gave them an 87 on their inspection; which was up from it's previous inspection score of 79.

I really hope this is not one of JJ's & Stace's favorite restaurants, because I am sure this would ruin it for at least one of them.

More Drunk News


Giving homeless alcoholics a regular supply of booze may improve their health and their behavior, the Canadian Medical Association Journal said in a study published on Tuesday.
The participants in this study experienced less encounters with law enforcement and also fewer hospital emergency room trips.

"The alcohol gets them in, builds the trust and then we have the opportunity to treat other medical diseases... It's about improving the quality of life." said Dr. Jeff Turnbull, one of the authors of the report.

Jumperpool.com


Most of my friends and family know that I have lost several people I care about to suicide. My step-mother, Sandy, my cousin, Charles and a very good friend of mine, "Lissa. I am including a link to the Jumper Pool, a site I have mentioned before. I am prone to depression, as I believe a lot of people we all know are. Maybe even someone reading this right now is. I am just too stubborn to take a permanent solution to a temporary problem and I personally know my God would not want me to hurt everyone I love this way. NOTHING IS EVER THAT BAD! The Jumper Pool site promotes getting HELP, not jumping to your death.

Photo of Jumper ....note the horrified look on all the by-standers faces!

What?!?


The School of Textiles and Design at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have begun what is believed to be the world's first-ever study on how women's clothing affects the bottom(AFP/Illustration).

Hmmm..... I really don't know what to add other than why is it just limited to the female bottom???

Bionic Dolphin


I found a very cool watercraft while surfing the Net. It is made by Innespace Productions and is called the Bionic Dolphin. As you can see from the pictures is really looks like a dolphin and actually maneuvers like one also. They have other products like Jonah, an ocean rescue vehicle and the Shark, an electric dry ambient submersible.

Drunk New Alerts

A new law goes into effect today that will require firstime driving under the influence offenders to wear orange vests emblazoned with the phrase "I am a Drunk Driver." The idea is to shame the drunk driver's into not becoming a second time offender. With over-crowding of jails and the billions of tax dollars it requires to maintain them; I think any thing is worth a try!

A judge in Kingston City faces censure after appearing in court as a lawyer and judge while drunk. Unfortunately, in NY they would not have a law like Tennessee; just might offend someone!
