Somewhat slow on the home front this week. Boredom is highly underrated. I like boredom. Boredom means no one is having a crises. No one is freaking out. No one is bothering me.
That sounds terrible doesn’t it? I don’t like it when people bother me. I figure, now that I am over fifty, I can concentrate on being eccentric.
****WARNING. MY POLITICAL VIEWS WILL NOW BE STATED. IF YOU DON’T WANT PISSED OFF, QUIT READING NOW ***
There, the legal stuff is dealt with LOL.
As to the fires in S. California. I used to live in California. I remember when the protesting moonbats wouldn’t let the Cali Dept of Forestry do any more controlled burns because the kangaroo rat would have their environment toasted.
So now, WE have OUR environment toasted. I feel bad for those who lost family and homes.
Here’s a thought. DON’T F’ING REBUILD THERE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
And, when you do, get rid of all the underbrush and burnable stuff under the trees. It is a proven fact that clearing underbrush can and will keep a fire from spreading to your home. Put in a freaking rock garden or something to look at. Keep the burnable stuff far away from your home.
As to the VA changing the flag ceremony. STOP IT. Go back to the way it was. Veterans (and I and my husband are both veterans) deserve it. We want it. Leave it the f alone !!!
As to the environment.
Yes, we are getting warmer. Yes, we are probably contributing to it. Did we cause it? NO. Global warming has happened over and over on this green earth, and it was happening long before the industrial revolution.
Here’s a thought. They have already developed the hydrogen fuel cell. Why don’t we send all the research funds to making it affordable and portable. Quit funding shit that isn’t working????
Then why don’t we make the fuel cell affordable for everyone, in cars and in homes. The only product of a hydrogen fuel cell is oxygen. Hellooooooooooo.
As to the Hurricane devastated areas. And the earthquake devastated areas. And the flood prone devastated areas.
You knew before you moved there it would happen. And, then, when it did…OH MY GOSH!! WE GOT FLOODED (QUAKED, WIND DAMAGED, BURNED, TORNADOED).
Can you spell stupid? Move. Don’t rebuild. MOVE. And don’t get pissed at me. I have lived in Florida, Hawaii, California and Texas.
Guess what? I DO NOT live their anymore. They have too many potential threats to my health and well being.
I found a place where I could live fairly safely, barring ACTS OF GOD. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, forest fires and floods are NOT acts of God. They are acts of nature and the natural progression of our earth’s changing.
If you choose to live there, then quit bitching and whining when you get flooded, burned, quaked, etc. You bought your ticket, and you knew what you were getting into.
As to the war.
Find Bin Laden. Kill bin Laden.
Take care of Iran. Tell them to straighten up and stop pointing missiles at us. Do not tolerate that from any country EVER.
Terrorists are NOT nice people Rosie O’Donnell. And Rosie O’Donnel is a moonbat.
Tell Chavez to stop or suffer the consequences and do NOT buy Citgo Gas. It comes from Venezuala. Also, do not let him EVER back into our country. And, by the way, tell all the Hollywood idiots who keep going down there to visit the little mini Hispanic Hitler to MOVE THERE and GET THE HELL OUT OF THE UNITED STATES, THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE HERE ANYMORE.
As to the elections.
Please God, do NOT let Hillary be the next president.
Alrighty then. How many of you did I piss off?

Hi ~ nice to see you posting again.
I agree with LadyG ~ "I like it when you are bored." :D
I think some of the men should have peed on the fires in California ~ better yet, perhaps 'wet down the underbrush' on a regular basis. Yep ~ that would be a good job ~ think?
:D

you know, i have thought about that. the thing is, those area's really should have never been settled in the first place. during a period of relative stability, people simply built in unstable areas and areas which were basically desert. then they brought in water to sustain the areas which were desert. i can vividly remember 40 years ago when i lived in northern california and we were all talking of seceding from the State of California because southern cali was already starting to take the water in the north.
my basic philosphy is that mankind should never have settled in those area's which, by evolution or design of God, whichever you prefer to believe in, were not put there to house mankind, and were eminently unsuitable to doing so. they flood, they experience extreme drought etc.
and yes, whether you believe in man created global warming or simply the natural cyclical changes in earth's atmosphere and climate, we are getting less rain.
so, the smart thing to do would be to relocate to area's which do not have extreme drought, put the rivers and lakes back where we found them and let those areas go back to nature.
when you live over extremely active fault zones, or in volcanic areas or areas hit over and over by hurricanes and floods, something, whether it is mother nature, experience or God, is telling you...
hey, this is NOT a safe place to make your home, and if you live here, you are likely going to experience the effects of nature in a non benevolent way.

that my friend it truly is. No, I realize it's not practical for all those millions of people to move. Uproot their lives, find new jobs etc.
but I do think about, well, I was going to say whatever possessed them to move there in the first place? but then i realized, we didn't KNOW then what we know now. My memories of Florida, Hawaii, Japan, and California are fond memories. they truly are some of the most beautiful places on earth. Also, the most dangerous.
but realistically. Take New Orleans. Why, knowing that the city is BELOW sea level and yet ON THE EDGE quite literally of the ocean, would anyone rebuild there after Katrina? It's only going to happen again.
Venice is sinking into the ocean, faster and faster each year. Now, they are building a sea wall to keep out the excess water. It will not work.
At what point do people realize that something is totally futile?
and, at what point do we quit paying for that futility?
I would gladly contribute money to the victims of Katrina to help them. But, I do not want to contribute my hard earned money so that they can build another home in an area certain to again be devastated. It just doesn't make sense.
Honestly, there is plenty of arable land, even in the US to support the population. But, the quandry is there.
I wish someone, somewhere had the power to say, not one drop of oil will be burned anymore. Figure it out and provide us with hydrogen cells or make personal windmills (already invented in Denmark, but they retail for $15k) affordable. But no, we still rely on oil, coal, and things that burn and fill our atmosphere with yucky things.
We still kill off the rain forests. We still strip mine.
We can build cars with no steel in them at all, but we don't.
We could live without steel, but we don't.
It really all comes down to the love of profit. And I HATE that.
and I am not even a tree hugging moon bat !!
But I can see reality.

There's nothing wrong with boredom, I too think it's WAY underrated :)
