Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

[The Troll]

Well, something came of this picture in particular. WTHR just aired it on the 11pm newscast and related what I had told them about it! So that is twice today that WTHR has aired a picture I took and I had my name spoken on the air! 

  From the way it looks it was done by a farmer working part time.  That looks more like a furrow from a 16 plows share than a snow plow.

Well now the Indiana Legislature is considering passing a bill that wil require drug testing of those receiving unemployment, public-aid, etc. . . 

WTF is wrong with these jackasses in this state? The state of Michigan passed drug testing requirements for welfare in 1999, but after several legal suits were brought against the practice, the 6th district court found the requirement unconstitutional.

People on unemployment have paid for that INSURANCE throughout their working career.

Pretty god damned ignorant let me tell you. . . .

You have a toothache. We get it. It's swollen and painful and sounds abscessed. You should call a dentist orrrr you can try the emergency room orrr you can get out a hammer and chisel or pliers and yank the damn thing yourself. Any of those will work, just the degree of pain you feel will be different. What doesn't work is telling me, my daughter and everyone on your contacts list just how much pain you're in, the play-by-play of you sleepless nights, descriptions of the taste in your mouth or how ticked you are that your teeth are failing you. That won't make you feel better, we can't make you feel better. Please GO to the doctor.

So that's what I said, yet my phone has rang twice since...seriously? WTH

I'm at an appointment and a mom is bible reading with her son. She has the adult version and he has the kid's version. They're reading the same passages. At any rate, the little boy is obviously bored and she's getting annoyed. He rubbed his arm across the page to turn the page and ripped it a little. OMG! I can't believe how upset she's getting! "That's a sin!" You'd better start praying now for not taking care of his word". The little boy, about 8, is on the verge of tears.

Kind of extreme imo. My kids wrote in theirs.

Sandy, were you upset because they were reading a Bible or because she upset the little boy?

[Sandy Eggo]

The little boy. I couldn't have cared about the bible reading one way or the other. Except it actually started out nice because they were discussing how to react if someone is rude or mean to you and she was showing him how to use the concordance to look up passages that might be helpful. Whether you believe in God or not, the advice given was great advice. I just felt like her reaction was WAY over the top. He is a little boy with a short attention span. She'd lost him after 3 minutes. That and it IS just a book. He didn't mean to do it. She reacted like he'd committed an unforgivable sin.

  It sounds like child abuse.  But because it's some stupid religious b.s. she can get by with it.  Poor brain washed kid.  Let us

Typical "over the top" reaction by the adult, imposed by centuries of similar behaviors enacted by the adults' religious leadership. It is a learned behavior. . . but deplorable none-the-less. . .

Thanks for clearing that up. I know people who would get that upset about anyone damaging any book, but I agree that she was probably too critical of a small child.
