Apparently a peace sign, in Christmas wreath form, is offending some home owners in a Colorado subdivision. Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs, has sent letters to the home owner, telling her that if the wreath is not removed she will be required to pay $25 a day.
When the division board refused to make the home owner remove it, he fired them. Does someone have control issues, or are they just lacking Christmas spirit?
Bah, hum-bug to Bob, too. We know what will be in his stocking.
Is is Christmas season again? And with the season comes the silly dreams that children have of new toys, while parents have their hopes crushed of making their kids popular with the most sought-after toys.
The little thing called hype. So many parents get caught up in it. I’m just as guilty, though I don’t do it anymore. If they want it bad enough, the little tikes can get it with a gift card, after christmas.
Black Friday can bring out the worst in people, who give themselves a headache just to get the best deals. Sometimes you have to wonder if it’s worth the stress. At least the new gaming consoles don’t go on sale then. The voilence would be through the roof, as if it weren’t bad enough.
So, on Christmas Eve, while kids are dreaming of when mom and dad will recover from that fist fight that landed them a black eye and a night in jail, and just hoping that what comes down the chimney isn’t Santa’s form of saying ‘This is for your parents,’ all while smelling up the house while he warms his butt cheeks and reads the paper, I will wonder what happened to the spirit of Christmas. It seems to have lost its magic.
Why is it that health care expenses continue to climb to points where so many can no longer afford to insure themselves, or their families? What are these individuals to do to provide for themselves, spouse or children?
Unless things change, so many – myself included – will no longer be able to make sure our families are covered. Then what? We have no way to pay for needed medications or unexpected trips to the doctor, hospital, dentist, etc.. Then who will pay? Everyone else.
When the cost of healthcare rises to the amount of one’s mortgage, and in many cases it’s more that someone makes, then people will end up going without.
 The Dems have taken the lead, for better or worse – but most likely better. Most candidates I voted for didn’t win, but my opinion was voiced.
With the changing of the guard in the two houses, will there be a difference? That is too soon to tell, but some grand thigs are already taking place. Let’s start with much more qualified staffing in the White House. While it would be a grave mistake to leave Iraq immediately (which is unlikely to happen), perhaps we will start to see progress from this unneccessary conflict. In the meantime we can now be assured that GW will be watched a little more closely, since power is now a little more balanced. |
Which would strike you more – a sexual predator lurking in your neighborhood or a killer that was convicted for the slaughter of an innocent child, one that was sentenced to three life sentences – and is out on parole?
Roll me up and call me fugly, but when I hear of a convicted child killer roaming the streets it makes me nervous for my own kids!
Wait a minute… They don’t tell anyone when a convicted killer is on the loose. On second thought, how does someone sentenced to three life terms get out?
Danny Rouse “stabbed or cut” a Kansas woman “with a knife 12 times”, then cut the throat of her 5 year old son while he slept, in 1979. And Kansas was smart enought to let this guy go free? Nice… now our residents must bury a child…
