In this particular case that I was reading yesterday there was a gentleman that was going to be executed unfortunately for him the execution did not work and he did not die.  Now I think that this is unfortunate and it was horrible that this happened to him, however he did kill someone and take their life from them.  This is why he was on the execution block.  So now the government or sate is asking weather it is humane to try to kill him again and to put him through that kind of pain.  My answer to that is HELL YES and this time make sure he dies.  Now from my point of view is he has taken someone elses life and that person did not get another chance.  He did not stop until they were dead so why should he get another chance to live because he was in a lot of pain from the injection that did not work?  I am sorry, this may sound heartless, but the reality of it is why should he get more of a chance and get the opportunity to live and soak the rest of Americans from their money while we house him in prison because he didn’t die the first time and it’s inhumane to try it again and put him through the pain twice.  Do you really think that he thought about the person he killed and how inhumane it was to kill them the way he did?  I don’t think he did, not until he got caught anyway.  So the bottom line is this, why do people who have no regard for someone else get rights?  They did not deserve the rights that we are giving them.  The only right they deserve when in prison is to be able to have toiletries, clean clothes and a blanket to cover up with.  Why do we help those who do not help themselves?  Why do we continue to give rights to people who don’t deserve them, and everyone else must pay for their actions.

I found this article on Charter.net in the us news section.

Craiglist Hooker Sweep Nets 28 Women

Has anybody seen what the hell is going on out the in the real world. People are starving because there is no work. The unemployment is outrageous. The poor are getting poorer and the rich stay rich. What if these women had no choice in there life at this point in time? What if that’s the only way they can feed there family or keep the heat on through the winter.

I myself am not saying that it’s right to be in The Oldest Profession”. I am however saying who, are we to judge the way someone has to pay the bills. I’m lucky enough when I lost my job in construction” I’ve been doing for 13 years” I could work at home making a paycheck every week.

Even if someone has to take things to that extreme they should have the right to make that decision. I say let them take back the money the rich have been sucking this society dry of for so many decades. Lets just face the fact that sex sells.

Hello everyone. I came onto Boiled Over today to express my feelings about a company’s loyalty towards an employee that has worked for many years. Yes I am speaking about myself. My name is Chad I’m the screamer you see when you log into my wife’s and my blog. That’s me aright. I am the Ironworker you probably have read about so many times on this blog. I have worked for the same company for almost thirteen years. I have worked many hours and sweated blood for my employer. I have even bled for this company. I’ve had my arm literally ripped open and even cut the top of my thumb off. I never miss work and I am one of the best Ironworkers in the company. So I’ve been told.

There is always a slow time of year for us Ironworkers but it’s never affected my job. Usually when everyone is laid off I’m still working. Well guess what, I’m laid off. Some of you might be thinking this guy has a big head. That’s not the case. I have a work ethic that I stick by and that is when you are at work you give110% every day. Right now my employer has about 12 people working none of witch has been employed longer then 5 years. I say to myself where is the loyalty of an employer that I’ve worked for so long for.

I’ve tried to call him but he does not return my calls. I’ve called all the foremen in this company and they don’t have a bad thing to say about me at all. Now at this time my wife and I are struggling to pay the bills and might lose our house. I’ve started to work at home like my wife does. It’s a bit trying but I’m getting use to it. I have been learning a lot about working at home because I have my wife to help coach me. It’s not really my passion. I would rather be up high on the iron than sitting behind a desk. I guess I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do. Plus I make much more money on the iron. I’m not sure if this will save our financial dilemma but we are trying. Stacey is much more advanced then I but she’s been doing this work at home for the 13 years I’ve been an Ironworker.

I don’t know, I guess I was feeling a bit like my avatar looks and wanted to Boil Over. Stacey has made up an e-book that might help a lot of people that are going through the same things I am. It’s called The Guide to Earning a Weekly Paycheck Working at Home on the Internet. I think it is an awesome program and I am now using this while I’m working at home. Anybody that is interested in working from home should check this out.

I’m still stuck on the whole loyalty issue but I’m getting over it. I’m also making money at home and hopefully I’ll make enough that I won’t have to work on the iron again. After all it is probably the most dangerous job in the world. Feel free to comment or send this off to a friend now I must get back to work. Stacey is now my boss and she a whole lot better looking than my old boss lol.

This brings me to the reason why I am so pissed off.  I believe that everyone has the right to work, and everyone has the right to have a piece of the “American Dream”, I commend people who have struggled to come to this country and work and learn a new language while they continue to better themselves.  I DO NOT however, like that fact that when you call for customer service in the United States you are patched through to some other country and talking to people who do not speak English, but seem to be getting all of the jobs that people actually living in America should get.  So why is our country going to shit?  It’s because everyone but Americans are living the American Dream.  Right now we are all worried about the economy and where we are going to get jobs.  We can all read from a manual that tells us what to do.  Why are we shipping all of our call center jobs out of the country, because it’s cheaper?  This is the problem.  We are not going to be able to afford to live in this country anymore because there are no jobs here to help us live.  We need to keep jobs in America and stop sending them overseas to pay those people 2 dollars a day to do what we should be getting more for.  Funny how it’s cheaper for the companies to send all the jobs overseas and yet our rates continue to rise.  Who’s getting hosed here except us all the way around.

This just reminded me of a commercial that I saw the other day; it was a jimmy john’s sub commercial.  Mind you, I love jimmy johns subs, and that’s why I paid attention to the commercial.  But this commercial may sum it all up in a nutshell for the American people.  In this commercial, which was all in a foreign language, which I think was Japanese, there were Japanese men sitting in a board room discussing a “plan” that one of the workers were proposing.  Not one word in the commercial was in English, but you got the just of the commercial just by the way things were going.  In this commercial the “head” of the board was not a happy camper and not really liking the ideas being proposed.  So the man that was proposing the new plan orders subs for everyone from Jimmy John’s which were the only words in English.  The subs came and all the men were happy.  This part wasn’t the saddest part of the commercial.  In the end the commercial actually said “Jimmy Johns’” and something to the affect of them being America’s best subs, or something along those lines.  So, we have America’s best subs in commercials about another country and two words in the whole commercial were in English, huh, what does that say about our businesses in America?  This is not the way to make sure America survives, and I am sick and tired of it.  There are things that can be done, the question is are any of the companies gonna have the balls to do the right thing??? How about hire American, we could start there.

The year has almost gone…Holidays are approaching fast and we won’t talk about that stress. Where did the time go, seems it was just spring a few months ago. Now, it’s plastic on the windows, weather stripping in the doors and pull out the heavy blankets. Word is our natural gas bill will rise about 20% this winter…sure we can afford that.

We found out that we are going to be grandparents, which should be good news since it is our first grandchild. Well, all I can say is I’m happy, but I wish the father was a responsible one. Our daughter is living at home with us and they have “broken” up and he is a piece of shit. As much as I was looking forward to having a life of my own, I now know we will be raising our grandbaby.

Things that are going on across our country, scare me. I read the news daily and it is all horrible…recession fears, killings and kidnappings.

My heart cries for the time when I was truly happy with life, with the world, just plain happy. It’s hard to put a smile on my face these days. I worry when my kids are two seconds late, I worry about the gas price because my husband commutes, I worry about going to the grocery store….It just keeps going.

I want my son back, I want my life back, I want…..

That beach in Australia …yeah the sunshine with no worries!

At this point in my life I should be happy. My career is finally starting to take off, we own our house in a small town, and we have even been able to take a few vacations. The problem is I feel so alone. When I look deep inside my soul I just see emptiness. My husband who I love deeply has changed, become bitter at life. He was so supportive at first, but now it’s like he can’t emotionally handle me being upset. My family and friends have their own problems and it seems they need answers or support from me more than ever.

My thought….When will someone be there for me? I believe in God and I know he is there for me, but he’s not much for conversation. I am a private person, so I do not want to talk to a stranger face to face about what I’m feeling. I blog part time also and that is why I am posting here. I need to express the way I feel, in hopes that something will change without the whole world knowing who I am.

It is hard to face reality that I will never truly be 100% happy again because there will always be a part of my life missing….our son.

Mr. Bob, as he called himself, said that $2900.00 of the check amount had to be paid to “Washington” for taxes on the winnings. (next red flag – taxes on $55,000 should be more than $2900.00) I was instructed to deposit the check and call Mr. Bob back to make arraignments on paying the $2900.00 and decide how I would receive the rest of my winnings. My choices were to have the winnings directly deposited in my account, cashiers check or money order. As I hung up the phone I started to get excited, thinking maybe the sun has finally shined on us.

THEN! My logical brain caught up and said “NO WAY”, something is just not right. I googled “The North American Lottery” and not to much of a surprise countless complaints about returned checks and scam artists. UUUGHHH! No free money for us! I found the number for the bank the check was drawn on. The address if the company “LexJet Corporation” was the same as the bank list. At this time I knew for sure that it was a scam, but I called the bank anyway. The response was just as I had thought, the check is no good and the bank agent gave me th number to the Canadian Authorities that are investigating the scam.

I called Joe at the toll free number and gave him the information. It seems that everyone in our county with a mailing address was sent the same scam. The letter varied and so did the check amount, but it was the same concept from the same company. Cash the bad check, wire them $2900.00, give them your banking information and BOOM – YOU’RE BROKE!

If you have received a letter like this one or a check please call Joe at the Canadian Fraud Department 1-888-495-8501. They are working with the FBI and USPS to try and catch these thieves. It is bad enough that many of us are already down on our luck we do not need someone out there trying to totally destroy us.

Basically YOUR car insurance covers YOUR vehicle and persons in YOUR vehicle regardless of fault.

Here is where it kicks you in the ass……

Let’s say you do not have collision insurance on your vehicle, someone HITS YOU and its THEIR FAULT. If your vehicle sustains over $500 in damages you are entitled to what they call a mini-tort claim. The mini- tort is paid by the insurance company of the person at fault (providing they have this coverage, if not you have to sue them for it).

Someone hits you, it’s their fault …you get a SMASHED UP CAR and a measly $500!

Doesn’t seem very fair, does it? This has happened to me TWICE! It’s ridiculous!

Last Thursday afternoon coming from the HIGH SCHOOL I was hit by another driver. I had the green light and she BLEW through the red light into me at 45 MPH! Luckily I was turning and did not have my son with me. As I pulled into the nearest drive to get out of traffic she comes rushing up to me saying, “It was my fault, I did not realize the light was red”. She stated that she was worried about getting into the share a ride with the construction ahead and was not even looking at the light. Then she proceeds to tell me that she does not even live in the area, but wanted KFC so she got off on the previous exit and drove through Bridgeport.

For those of you who know our background you can imagine my anger. She ran a red light at 45 MPH at the High School intersection, minutes after school let out! Our son was killed just 100 feet down the same road two years ago! What if one of those students from the High School was crossing at the one and only crosswalk in town, the same crosswalk she just BLEW through to hit me! They would have had no chance against her SUV!

I was proud that I was able to keep my composure and not wrap my hands around her neck and squeeze tightly. I was so angry and distraught, so many bad memories of Dustin’s accident running through my mind. I just grinded my teeth, clenched my fist and tried to be patient as we waited for the police.

She was sited for failure to yield a red light. If the school signs we requested two years ago would have been put in place her citation would have been much worse or maybe just, maybe she would have seen the school signs and been more careful. (We were told by the Saginaw County Road commission that the signs were misleading to motorists)….what a crock of bull!

So this is the second time that I have a smashed car with no means to fix it. I will hopefully get the $500 mini-tort, but that won’t cover the $1500 in damage she caused because she was an idiot! The first time this happened I was hit from the rear at a red light, pushed through the intersection by a driver that had a suspended license!

The no-fault law also kicked us in the ass when Dustin was killed. At that time we did not have a running vehicle, (my husbands transmission went out) so we had no insurance. Since it is a no-fault state we received a mere $1400 to cover his funeral expenses that way exceeded $10,000 and our son was dead.

The state of Michigan says that no-fault insurance helps keep costs down, yet we have some of the highest rates in the country. We as citizens give up our right to sue when involved in an accident (unwillingly). Many of the people that live here don’t even realize what no-fault means. It only helps the person that is AT FAULT! How callous can you be?

The damn insurance companies have you again….all that money you pay them and you can’t even get your car repair when someone else is careless!

Every parent that works knows that child care costs are just a part of life. Our sister has been going to school full time from home and was laid off from her job in the fall. She decided to try to open a Child Care business in her home so that she could continue going to school and spend more time with our darling niece.

She has had a difficult time with a mother that brings her precious little girl and school age son to her house for child care. This woman for whatever reason is not paying our sister, she even had help from the state in the beginning. This woman actually had the audacity to cash one of the child care checks the state sent her for our sister and keep the money! Yes, she cashed the check, failed to tell our sister and kept the money! The next week she failed to pay again. When our sister said that she must pay every week, the woman complained that the price was too high, but continued to bring the kids. Last week after writing a check for her child care costs, she called our sister and told her not to deposit the check because it was no good. Then on Monday morning her check from the previous week was returned to the bank unpaid.

Now that the money she owes for child care is piling up, I suggested to our sister to put her foot down. I understand that this woman has bills to pay, but so does our sister who is now working literally for free. A document was typed up stating the exact amounts that were owed and also stated that this woman must pay in cash from that point forward. She freaked, this woman was actually upset and asked our sister how she could do this to her.

Are you kidding me? Our sister cares for these children like they are her own and she has even bought them clothes to keep at her house, since the mother never brings any. After receiving the document and throwing a fit the woman never brought the kids back, telling our sister she found someone to watch them for free. I would have to say she has had free child care for over a month since she has paid with bad checks. She promises to pay when she gets her stimulus check….but we’ll see.

I understand that everyone is having a difficult time financially, especially in the area where we live, but paying for child care is just a part of life if you need to work.

Remember that person that is caring for your children during the day has bills to pay too.
