I don't know if this is true but seems like a good plan...

MASS exodus out of Florida

 

Only 49 more states to go!

Hooray for Florida !


I-95 and I-75 will be jammed for the next month or so with druggies and deadbeats heading North out of Florida, because this is the first state in the union to require drug testing to receive welfare!

Hooray for Florida! In signing the new law, Republican Gov. Rick Scott said, "If Floridians want welfare, they better make sure they are drug-free."

Applicants must pay for the drug test, but are reimbursed if they test drug-free. Applicants who test positive for illicit substances, won't be eligible for the funds for a year, or until they undergo treatment. Those who fail a second time will be banned from receiving funds for three years! 

Naturally, a few people are crying this is unconstitutional.
How is this unconstitutional? It's a legal requirement that every person applying for a job has to pass drug tests in order to get the job, why not those who receive welfare?

This is My President....

This is My President -  Check out these accomplishments !   1) Got Osama Bin Laden - check 2) Unemployment rate 8.5 - check 3) 1.3 million jobs created with no GOP help - check 4) 22 months of job and economic growth - check 5) Ended war in Iraq - check 6) Repealed DADT – check (Don’t Ask Don’t Tell) 7) Not one tax hike in 3 years - check 8) Exposed racism in the GOP - check 9) Still carrying over 80% of black vote - check 10) Same wife for 20 years with no extramarital affairs - check 11) Saved the auto industry and 1.5 million jobs - check 12) Mortgage modification to save homeowners' homes - check 13) Still fighting for middle class families - check 14) Reforming healthcare, making it affordable - check 15) ONLY President to receive the Nobel Peace prize while in office - check  16) Freed hostages in Somali - check

Trees....

I have this tree analogy when I think of people in my life, be it friends, family, acquaintances, employees, co-workers, whomever...They are all placed inside what I call my tree test. It goes like this:

 

LEAF PEOPLE

Some people come into your life and they are like leaves on a tree. They are only there for a season. You can't depend on them or count on them because they are weak and only there to give you shade. Like leaves, they are there to take what they need and as soon as it gets cold or a wind blows in your life they are gone. You can't be angry at them, it's just who they are.

 

BRANCH PEOPLE

There are some people who come into your life and they are like branches on a tree. They are stronger than leaves, but you have to be careful with them. They will stick around through most seasons, but if you go through a storm or two in your life it's possible that you could lose them. Most times they break away when it's tough. Although they are stronger than leaves, you have to test them out before you run out there and put all your weight on them. In most cases they can't handle too much weight. But again, you can't be mad with them, it's just who they are.

 

ROOT PEOPLE

If you can find some people in your life who are like the roots of a tree then you have found something special. Like the roots of a tree, they are hard to find because they are not trying to be seen. Their only job is to hold you up and help you live a strong and healthy life. If you thrive, they are happy. They stay low key and don't let the world know that they are there. And if you go through an awful storm they will hold you up. Their job is to hold you up, come what may, and to nourish you, feed you and water you.

 

Just as a tree has many limbs and many leaves, there are few roots. Look at your own life. How many leaves, branches and roots do you have? What are you in other people's lives?

 

THANK GOD FOR YOUR ROOTS!

 You may want to call them today or share this message with them and attach your own note saying, "thanks for being my root".

 

By the way, don't waste your time sending this to a leaf, they won't get it anyway.

Last night, Paul Ryan lied to the American people. Add your name to my SignOn.org petition demanding that the mainstream media expose the truth. "Mainstream media: Fact-check and call out candidates when they lie. You have an obligation as journalists to educate the public on the facts of the major campaign issues." Sign the Petition!

Dear MoveOn member,

Last night, Paul Ryan lied to the American people. Some journalists and outlets covered Ryan's lies. But others failed to check the facts and didn't call Ryan out on his brazen lies.

In this crucial election, news reporters have an obligation to educate the public about the facts regarding the major issues and call out the candidates every time they lie.

That's why I created a petition urging the major news corporations—ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, and MSNBC—to live up to their obligation to report the truth. The petition says:

Mainstream media: Fact-check and call out candidates when they lie. You have an obligation as journalists to educate the public on the facts of the major campaign issues.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Here is a list of five lies that Paul Ryan told when he gave his speech at the Republican National Convention last night. Every single news outlet should report on these lies.

1. Lie: President Obama is the "greatest threat" to Medicare.

Truth: Obama didn't make any cuts to Medicare benefits; he made cuts to provider reimbursements, to improve cost efficiency and extend the fiscal security of Medicare by eight years. According to the Medicare actuary, "[Obama's] Affordable Care Act makes important changes to the Medicare program and substantially improves its financial outlook."¹

But Ryan actually does want to cut benefits. He proposed dismantling Medicare and replacing it with a voucher system, leaving millions of seniors to come up with more money to pay for care out of pocket.^2,3

2. Lie: President Obama didn't save a General Motors plant in Wisconsin.

Truth: First, Obama wasn't even in office when the GM plant closed. Second, Obama never made a promise to save it.⁴

3. Lie: President Obama ignored recommendations of a bipartisan debt commission.

Truth: Paul Ryan actually sat on that commission. And he led Republicans in voting down the commission's own recommendation. So the commission never gave a report to Obama, because Ryan himself voted to kill the report before it could.⁵

4. Lie: President Obama is responsible for the downgrading of the U.S. Credit Rating.

Truth: House Republicans, including Paul Ryan, held the full faith and credit of the United States hostage to try to ransom it for trillions of dollars in cuts to social programs without increasing taxes on the wealthy one dime. Standard & Poor's said specifically, "We have changed our assumption on [revenue] because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues." That's why our nation's credit rating was downgraded.^6,7

5. Lie: Ryan wants to protect the "weak."

Truth: Ryan's biggest feat in his political career was proposing a budget with dramatic cuts to programs benefiting the poor. He'd cut Medicaid by one third, take away health care insurance from 30 million Americans, and cut Pell Grants for 1 million students. All so that he could give more tax breaks to the rich.⁸

Click here to add your name to my SignOn.org petition urging ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, and MSNBC to call out candidates when they lie, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!

Babies dying in the heat...

Every time the news reports of another baby left in a hot car,I get pissed....

Not so much at the parent or caregiver but at all the smart ass people out there inventing stupid shit...

Dear Baby Seat Companies,

         Please have your guys get up off their rears and create a heat sensor that sounds an alarm when the temp nears a dangerous level...The sensor would be weight sensitive (to detect baby in seat),heat sensitive and have alarm loud enough to hear outside the car.....I would rather a baby have hearing loss than be dead...

                                    signed......a Grammah Queen

Parents : SLOW DOWN ! and THINK.....You have completely lost your focus when you cannot remember your baby in the car....

and then you will be forever focused on the shame,guilt,stigma and misery of losing your precious gift....

the Cellphone and The Bible

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we turned back to go get it, if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. 
 And no dropped calls! 



Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of us!

First...Thank you to my Number ONE fan....SF...

Now,I got thoughts running rampant through the hallways of my mind...Jeepers!

Why are kids no longer being taught Cursive Writing?

Does this mean that kids will receive a Social Security Number,a DNA Profile and an Electronic Signature Card based on Fingerprints and Eyeball  Identification? AT BIRTH?

I am very old-school...very old...senior citizen old....and I think that I kinda keep up with stuff going on..HOWEVER.....

Dang! got to go......

Time flies....

Oh my...Has it really been such a long time since I posted anything?

and so much has been going on,so many thoughts have crossed my mind....

I have had another birthday,surgery,death in the family,reconnected with a friend,new grandson and the list can go on for miles....

I have learned a few more things about myself ...I have learned a lot more things about the others around me...

I have been grateful,thankful,disappointed,sad,angry,happy and forgiving.....The most constant emotions are gratefulness and thankfulness...God has been so very good to me.....

Got to go but will be back - SOON!
