Where is the entitlement?


What gives a person the right to treat someone else badly? Is it that they think so little of them self that they must try and rip someone up just to feel better about themselves? I have found that this is more times than not, just the case. What makes them feel that the person they are ripping up really gives a flying crap?


I was taught by my Mother to try and treat everyone the way you would like to be treated. However, when you are they only one to be using this life lesson, it makes it hard. What the hell has happened to people, and why weren't they taught the Golden Rule? Lazy parents is mostly what I see. Parents that have all the time in the world to make these children and no time to teach them, so in turn they are not really parents, are they? You don't have to inseminate or be inseminated to be a parent. A parent is the one who teaches you right from wrong, guides you, shows you how to be a worthwhile person. So you can be someone that adds something to society, not someone who just takes from society.


Damn people you are given such a gift when you are blessed with a child, a perfect human. You can never teach them to remain perfect but it is your job to keep them as perfect as you possibly can. This means getting off your ass and doing some work. Know where they are, know who their friends are. In other words, give a damn! If you can't do this, then don't have them. As the rest of us will end up supporting them for the rest of their life in one way or another. There is no crime in not having children and enjoying your own life. There is a crime committed when you have children and fail as a parent due to laziness. Sometimes a good parent can fail, but it was not from lack of trying. Sometimes a lazy person will produce a great kid, but that is pure luck, but for the most part this is not the case. In my opinion, this is what is wrong with society today.
The above rant has nothing to do with the child you see on top, he is mearly a beautiful child and my Grandson.

Something stolen from Angie

Here are the rules for this little game...List one fact, word or tidbit that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your first or middle name. You can theme it to your blog or make it general. Not as good as Angie's but here goes.

T Tomboy as I was called in those younger days. I guess that is why I chose to become a firefighter in my younger days. You could always find me in my youth up a tree or surfing with the boys.

E Emotional, very! It doesn't take a lot to make me cry, a sad movie or just look at me cross eyed.

R Ready to go anywhere or do anything. I was once told "if someone told you to go to hell, you would pack!"

R Reliable, always have been. Steady, on time, you can count on me.

Y Yap-per, I just love to talk, unfortunately I don't like to write, if only I loved to do both I could write a novel bigger than War and Peace. PS Y was hard to come up with.

Dreams

Have you ever had a dream that when you woke up you said "What the F was that about?" Dang I was in a place that I haven't been for years. What the heck? Nor would I ever want to be in that place again. The dream was so real that I had to think about it for a few after waking just to make sure it wasn't real. Blast.

I hadn't been thinking about it or has anything popped up that would remind me of that time. That was just strange. That was the 2nd time in the past few weeks that I have had this similar dream.

What the hell???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It's Cold

Well, I have the day off and it is so darn cold, it just 64 degrees but the wind is blowing, not just blowing it is howling. Probably around 50 to 60 mph.

Not that I had anything to do, but it would have been nice to have a day just to sit out on the porch with nice weather. Or to work with my container garden. Just too cold. So I am watching movies and sitting with the afghan. Not to say that that is a bad thing, it is pretty nice too. You know what? Some Hot Cocoa would be nice right about now. If only I had a maid to go get me some but I am warm under this cover and don't want to get up.
