Let's talk about...Anything!
« on: September 26, 2015, 07:52:38 am »
I think House Speaker John Boehner should have stepped down after the last government shut down which personally I think he handled all wrong.  So now he’s stepping down (of course) right before another government shutdown.  Clearly he didn’t know how to do his job since I don’t recall EVER the house not being able to pass a budged two consecutive years in a row.  So somebody had to leave and like in football, its usually the head ring-leader.

I hate regular cooking shows like the Rachel Ray show.  First off the professional chef is going way to fast to follow so you have to dvr the show because there is no way to cook while they are.  Second they have an already made dish on the side that is prepared to perfection so that you never see the finalized one of the dish they are making while being filmed.  Third unless the dish is really simple, even if you follow the instructions the dish really comes out the way the professional made it.  That’s why I just prefer getting a recipe off the internet and doing it myself rather than watching one of those.  It gets to be a hassle.

He has not been able to get his party together to be effective at all.  I am almost surprised they didn't get rid of him sooner.

The post office lost my sprint bill so I figured I’d set up an on-line profile since I can print out a bill an mail it to them.  (I think mailing a check is much safer than a possible on-line hack.)  First it wouldn’t take the phone number so I had to put in the account number.  After I put in a password and username I typed the email.  Three times I tried and all three times as soon as I finished typing the email then hit the next button I got the same error message: Oops. Something Happened. Give us some time while we drag out the toolbox and fix the problem.  Then nothing would happen.  So I set up a sprint live chat.  Anyone who’s done this knows how it goes.  You give your name, email and then a reason for the chat.  So That’s exactly what I did.  I typed, every time I try to finalize the online profile the website gives me the same error message: Oops. Something Happened. Give us some time while we drag out the toolbox and fix the problem.  When I finally got a representative the first thing she did (after I gave her the pin number and security question answer to prove I was legit) was to give me a website that didn’t exist.  She claimed sprint.com/register was how you get to the registration form (the same one that was giving me problems).  That weblink doesn’t exist and I told her so.  She told me it’s my browser and to switch.  I told her I was on Google but to humor her I switched to Internet Explorer.  It gave me the same thing as Google:  It’s mysprint.sprint.com. From there you open the registration link.  She told me you put www.sprint.com/register in the url box.  I snapped that I’m not stupid and did just that and got nothing.  Sprint changed it to mysprint.sprint.com.  That’s when she told me she was looking for the registration page.  So I went back to mysprint.sprint.com. Which opened the registration page—the same one that did not work the first three times I tried.  So I started to type the phone number.  This time it took the phone number.  But after I typed the my email, I got the same error message as before.  That’s when I snapped at the representative: I got the same error message as before [then I typed the error message].  That’s why I set up this chat!  Not that I didn’t know how to do it, but that it wasn’t working!  That’s when she finally understood and set it up for me.  That took two minutes and worked.  I just had to get another 28mins of aggravation.  So much so that by the end I was thinking of that old phone commercial that goes, ‘Reach out and touch someone’.  I just want to reach out an choke someone.

I wish I could decide on a good pair of training shoes. :( My Skechers aren't ideal for weight-lifting. Ah, well.

Anybody else use the lousy Apple Software?  It took me an hour just to manually load two albums!  The stupid software won’t allow me to  just manually add to the ipod.  It has to go through everything, all the apps then all the movies, tv shows then music.  I’ve looked for a way to try and turn all that off so I can just sync what I want not everything in the Itunes/cloud software but to no avail.  It’s really starting to get me frustrated.

Honestly if Biden doesn’t run for the presidency, I’m going to vote for Trump.  Trump is the only one out of the bunch who’s a strong enough person to tell off Congress whose job is to do really one thing only and that is to pass a budget because the American people are really only interested in one thing and that is their job.  When they wake up in the morning they don’t want to wonder if they will still have a job or will they wind up at home indefinitely with no pay.  Trust me, when you’re unemployed you don’t care about who recycles or how much pollution is in air or whose homosexual and should or should they not get married.  What you may care about is immigration because a ‘fence hopper’ is being give a job that should belong to you.  And why?  Because for mere pennies someone can hire an illegal rather than knowing they will get stuck having to pay minimum wage to a citizen of this country. We’d honestly have less people ‘fence hopping’ if a law was passed that you had to prove your citizenship or your ‘legal right’ to be in this country in order to get a job and you had to speak the ‘Mother Language’ English.  What really pisses me off the most about that is how everyone is up an arms about slavery.  It’s always ‘take down anything some idiot thinks represents slavery.’  How it’s wrong to own someone else.  Those people who are so against slavery don’t even blink when they hear a farmer out in California has nothing but illegals working for him.  He hires illegals because that’s what he can afford to keep his farm going.  It was the same thing for Southern plantation owners.  They paid for the worker once, they day they bought them.  Then they never had to pay again.  It’s cheaper with the one and done rather than every so often having to pay their workers.  Even at the cheapest price the amount they had to pay all of their workers they wouldn’t be able to keep their plantation.  If you think they could then talk to all the farmers no-a-days who hire illegals then get back to me. 
      Now I’m not saying I’m for slavery.  What I am saying is it was a necessary evil for the plantation owners of the south the same way farmers of today hire illegals.  What I am saying is I’m against both, slavery and hiring illegal’s.  I know the argument there are crooks in the immigration department and bribes will get you in far easier than the honest way, but the majority of the illegals coming here aren’t even here to be American.  They are here to take our jobs away and send the money back home to ‘their country’.  No one would want to come here illegally if you couldn’t do that.  If a law was passed that you want to work here you can be an automatic citizen but that means you sever all ties with your old country.  No ‘sending money back to the old country’.  You’re here, that’s it.  If you have a family you bring them here to live, but that’s it.  Hence, if you’re against Southern slavery you have to be against hiring illegals.  It’s the same thing.  Trump was honestly the only one brave enough to make that connection and speak out about it, and while he pisses people off, I think he’s the only one who can get Congress off their butts to do what needs to be done.

I hate going to the dentist.  No matter how clean my teeth are the dentist always picks and scraps for at least an hour.  I wind up coming out in so much pain that I can’t have anything but soup the rest of the day and can’t brush my teeth.  I have to use salt water the next few days until my gums heal enough to brush.  Just want to know, who actually walks out of the dentist with a ‘just dentist clean feeling’?  I don’t think anyone except in the commercials trying to sell you toothpaste or whitening.
