    My old county in VA....Some wild lunatic 20 year old punk shot up his girlfriend and her siblings. 5 kids shot and a 3 year old dead. This is why the death penalty needs to still be available in many states.

    I have the most legitimate rant ever. Tomorrow I have 2 choices I can either juggle a 1 and 3 year old or take the dogs to their grooming appointment that involves a 40 minute drive each way and a 4 hour wait. My wife still hides what the grooming costs from me I am leaning towards dealing with a few diapers and staying home towards the boys Grandpa has it.

    I just heard about the only bumper sticker other than an American flag I would put on my truck. If I passed you on the right you are an idiot.

    Been a bit since I have posted, and far less than ever the past couple months.

    The death penalty needs to be brought back in a big way IMO. Not only brought back, but methods brougt back as well. Public hangings should be widely available, not many hangings go awry like lethal injections or electrocutions, and still more humane than gas chambers(which I still think the most heinous of crimes should entail).

    Put the effing fear back into the choice of committing crime. He current status quo is so out of whack I couldn't imagine why someone would have second thoughts on comitting a crime.

    I don't think it matters much anymore?
    Within a matter of minutes, "your name" is now a house hold name world wide.

    Ok this is day 3 of house arrest. It sucks and is beyond boring. Too make matters worse, when the wife drove out to check on the horse, she found a nice 6 pt shed on the road leading out of town this morning. Comes into the house with a big grin and says, looky what I found. I think that made her day, because she has enjoyed rubbing it in all day.

    2022 sucked for the most part. 2023 so far seems to be just an extension of it. While I am still kicking, the person in the next room from me in the hospital the night I stayed over from surgery,,, died. That was not fun hearing their family crying. Will admit the thought crossed my mind, did Death go to the wrong door. Way too close for my liking!!!!

    Fast forward to late last night. Got a text from my sister. Her husband had a stroke. He is in his mid 50's. Right now, they are doing a CT scan of his head. They think there may be bleeding somewhere in his head.

    Amazon baiting switch...
    Rodent repellent paks. 6 for 30 + dollars. Now the description was only you get 6 pks for that price. The pics all show clearly 4 per pk.
    What arrived were 6 single paks. Now at the local TSC you can get (1) 4 pk for 13.00.
    Hubby tries a return...no returns allowed...really?! So he hands it over to me...
    5 mins. Later ..please keep what was sent and you will have a full refund in 3-5days. I want a full written e- mail confirming this. 2 mins. later the e mail shows up. Sneak your hand in to my purse and I'll chop off your fingers!

    NEVER go by what Amazon has for a picture.

    I have found many many instances where the pic was not even close to what the description said it was. Looking at the Q&A section often reveals the same confusion amongst many others.

    You will never ever know what really happened. Just watch the briefings for that. This kid was put in psychiatric care IMMEDIATELY. We've seen what is going on with child psychiatric care. They will go after that mother like a pit bull on a squirrel. The teacher got the kids out of the room but only one shot was fired and only at her. Something happened to that child. He will remain a victim. She will be a hero . I predict a wolf in heros clothing able to do more damage to the flock.I hope someone gets good info from the other kids but...aahhh.they had group of "professionals" with them within an hour as well.

    I'm pretty sure that was the school (system) my brother worked to have his college loans forgiven. He said the main staff would periodically clear the roof of weapons tossed onto it from ( either from students or locals from pursuits). Newport News it's a tough/rough place...

    Rant at my self. Yes I can look in a mirror about things.
    My rant at Hochol vetoing a holiday hunting bill. I was wrong on the the content of bill itself. I read first part of article.NOT THE ENTIRELY UNTIL NOW. The veto was more helpful than hurtful. MY BAD ON NOT GOING TO THE END IN READING. Today I got time to sit, relax and read.
    This all said, my APOLOGY on being wrong in content. I'm not on my general opinion of her.

    I’m sick and tired of hearing about Harry’s “Spare”. In my opinion its all about Megan being upset about her life as a Princess not being all she expected or wanted it to be and ragging on Harry to do something about it. I feel we have enough to worry about with the liars, cheats, and crooks in our own government. Let’s not worry about and listen to Harry complain about the royals.

    I really don't see the fascination of the Royals. Who would even care ?? This celebrity thing people have is retarded. Lisa Presley isn't even close to a celebrity so who really cares. I always thought Elvis sucked to start with so may be biased. While it is sad that anybody dies, it happens.

    I would love to have another day with my folks, grand parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends who have passed away. It wouldn't be any celebrity.
