    Seriously if I wanted to find some entertainment in something going around and around and around in circles.....I could just watch my dog chasing her tail. At least I find that humorous. Nascar is boring.

    Oh wait...something for Dr. T.

    Nascar "drives" me insane with boredom. There ya go.

    <div class='quotemain'>

    I see that some are concerned about our jails. Let’s start by registering all illegal immigrants. BTW do you know that half of the identify theft in the USA is done by illegal immigrants? We certainly do not want to try to put a dent in that.
    Reference please.

    I want to see a refrence on that too.

    I know illegals do contribute to identity theft, but that 50% seems way too high.

    mostly bologna with bread and water

    can anyone say scurvy? :hmmm:

    I could say alot about the treatment of people by providing only bologna and bread and water but...I will refrain.

    "Quote" For those that do not think by putting illegal immigrants in jail is possible there is a sheriff in Arizona that disagrees. He has created barb wire tent cities to house illegal’s and he can feed them for around $1.00 a day – mostly bologna with bread and water. And wonder of wonder illegals have left his county in droves – he has not had to deport anyone.

    I'm not sure I agree that has put a dent in the numbers. Just means they have avoided his area and have moved on to others. Again...So we make this a country of wire tent cities. Our taxes are still going towards the housing and feeding. Doesn't matter if free or retained.

    High/Low for 6/3

    Low: That sick cat, remember, we fixed it's eyes (well, eye) and nose, bottle fed it, etc. As I said, it was not going to be our cat. We gave it away on Saturday. Today when we saw the new owners they told us the cat was killed by a dog. I was not attached. The sad part was my wife was/is really sad about it.

    High: Identified a nice piece of land start begin building a home on.

    I told you that you should have kept the cat. :rolleyes:

    Okay an animal childhood story.

    We had a poodle by the name of Tou Petite Chason. We called him Tou Tou. Well anyway....my mom would have that dog groomed once a month. After about 5 years of the grooming expenses my dad decided he could save the family some money and do it himself. He had a hair cutting kit. He proceeded to take poor Tou Tou out to the garage to "groom" him. We knew there was trouble when my brother came in asking if there was a picture of a poodle in the Encyclopedia. My dad shaved every bit of that dog. Normally he had the little fluff on the top of the head. He was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. But that dog prounced around like he was "it."

    Oh btw....my mom never allowed my dad to groom him again.

  9. A New Kind Of Traffic Report...

    That has been making the rounds for a couple weeks. The story I heard from an employee of Bonneville Communications is that she had been taking some medications that morning and apparently she went a little loopy there without even realizing it. She momentarily lost control of what she was doing and reverted into doing something else. She probably even had her eyes closed at the time.

    A similar thing happened to me once. I had been pulling another 18-hour work day and was talking to my wife on the cell phone when a customer came up to me. I didn't hang up the phone, just set it down to deal with the customer. When our transaction was over, I forgot who I was conversing with and said "I love you". He gave me this funny look and said "What?" and I covered my tracks by quickly saying thanks for coming in. Then when I picked the phone back up, my wife had heard it all and grilled me about who else I was telling I loved besides her. So I had a little explaining to do. :wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko:

    Yes brother in law...explain. :hmmm:

    Extremely controlling. She has to report every move as to how, when, why, with who and what time. Gets upset if she wants to do "family things." He wants to know why he's not invited since he is "part of the family." She can't participate in any of her high school activities. He expects all her free time to be spent with him.

    A thought - Let's pass a law that states that it is a felony to be in the USA illegally. This would make all illegal immigrants felons under the law and end the argument as to their legal status.

    It is already a felony to assist anyone in breaking the law – therefore anyone that assist an illegal immigrant in staying in the USA can also be tried under the law. For examples, doctors or hospitals offering care to illegal immigrants can be tried. Lawyers suing in behalf can be tried. Land lords renting places to stay to illegal immigrants can be tried. Employers offering jobs to illegal immigrants can be tried.

    I like this idea because it puts the burden on those that are creating the problem. It puts those that contribute to the problem at greatest risk and responsibility to be prosecuted under the law.

    Remember too that we can allow anyone needed or that we want in the country to come in with legal status. We can and should define what is legal and expect both those coming to our country and those living in our country to be subject to the law.

    The Traveler

    So in making it a felony to be in the US illegally...would we then be putting them into prison? Seems to me all we are doing is changing the venue of where our tax money is going. Either we are paying taxes to feed, house, etc. while they are free or we are going to still pay taxes to feed, house etc while they sit in a federal prison. Making it a felony doesn't appear to me a solution at all.

    Just an update on my FIL and I will also ask for prayers. We just found out that my FIL has two Subdural hematomas and will go to surgery either tomorrow or Monday along my my own father for another surgery. If you will please remember them in your prayers.

    You got it. My thoughts will be with you and your family. *hugs*

    I am the middle generation. I have children still at home and a very sick and aliening father who has prostate cancer, which has spread to his bones (and is now causing him pain) and he has Alzheimer’s too, which is mild for now.

    I also have a father in law who has been in and out of the hospital since January and currently they don't know what is wrong with him. My FIL can't walk and he is very sleepy he basically refuses to eat more than a few bites a day so he is on IV fluids. He is very confused and lives in a different time (year and place). Last night when we went to see him he told me he had been on a Safari and had seen tigers that day. He will be talking and then his jaw will drop and he will be alseep....

    Four years ago I lost my mom to lung cancer, she was diagnosed with it and she was gone within a month. The suddenness of her illness and passing caught us by surprise and I was a little upset that I didn't get more time with her. Now knowing more about terminal illness, and sometimes pain, her quick passing was actually a blessing. One day after we knew her prognosis was not good I asked her if there was anything she wanted me to know she just put her head down and shook her head no. I was also told about writing a letter to my mom and I also had my children and dad do this as well. I think this is a great thing to do if you feel like there was some things you want them to 'take with them when they go'.

    I wonder what would happen if your husband just randomly told his father he forgave him for all of his past abuses and wished to give him a fresh start with him. Does your FIL live with you?

    The letter is an excellent idea. With Father's Day coming up I think I will act on this. As Strawbery already knows, my dad also has Alzheimers which is progressing rather rapidly. We are also waiting on results of a biopsy to determine if he has prostrate cancer. Strawberry and I have much in common as our dad's are only a year apart in age and suffering from the same afflictions. Alzheimers is a horrible disease. I hate to say this about my dad and death. Knowing that I am eventually going to lose him to the Alzheimers..I would rather lose him to a cancer than to the Alzheimers.

    Just one addition to my above comments. I feel so bad that many do not have strong relationships with their fathers. My dad and I are extremely close and I am blessed with that. I think that is why all that is going on with him makes it even more difficult.
