keeping in touch

so after all of the holiday parties and social gatherings and family gatherings....... after hearing all of the 'lets keep in touch' 'lets do lunch' and 'dont be a stranger' comments, how many of those people have you actually called, emailed or instant messengered? yahoo, aol, icq among others was invented so that people who can't spare the few seconds to shoot off an email, or the few minutes to snail mail, can instantly tell thier friends across the country hello. even if that person is not online.

so, find your yahoo, fire it up. find your aol, open it. icq. remember those numbers....... come on people. don't let another year go by that you lose touch with people outside of your box.

cold in california

yes, california does get cold. right now, at 10.00 pm it is 13 degrees and dropping. hard to get motivated to do anything outside when it is this cold. a warm blanket, cup of hot coffee and a good book sounds much better than going outside to do laundry, or like tomorrow, walking to work at 6.00 am. going grocery shopping is not on the top of the to do list either.
i dont mind cold, i prefer it over hot, but this single digit stuff is for the birds, penguins.....

background checks

i applied for a new job back in october. did the testing in nov, had the interview in dec. i really wanted this job, it would have tripled my income and gotten our family out of poverty. but, since they did a credit check and saw that my two credit cards are over the limit, and 5 years ago i had a bankruptcy (with ex husband) they decided that i am not good enough for the job. so, here i sit, still in poverty, in a house that is 62 degrees, with kids that wonder why there is not enough food to eat, all because the credit check showed i don't have enough money to pay my bills on time. go figure.

which way are you going?

i was waiting at the 2 way stop sign to turn right. a row of cars is coming down the road so i wait. the first car goes flying past, but the next three turn. not one of them used a turn signal. i could have turned right onto the road all that much faster if one of those three mindless drivers had used the turn signal.
have we as adult drivers turned so inconsiderate that we can't even move our pinkies to switch on the turn signal? you know you are turning, is it so hard to fill the rest of the drivers on the road in on your plan?

come on people, use your brains
