There should be a law against whining

On my way back from my daughter's graduation I stopped to take this photo. I couldn't agree more. Please "Stop Global Whining". Please stop whining in general. I think we need to outlaw whining. I am not sure who plastered this sticker on the stop sign, but I agree. I, however, don't agree with defacing public property. I at the moment can't stand it when I hear someone whining about life. People seem to whine about everything any more. People let's just get on with life. Whining about it won't help. I unfortunately used to be one of the whiners, but I found it didn't help at all and sometimes just made things worse. Oh well, I guess the people who are whining need something to do because they are board or something or they are hoping to get their way.

lol there is a few of us at work that like to yell across the isle at one another saying "you got it made!!!!!!!" its like a destresser and a look at the positive. i mean where else could we really be making on the adverage 51,000 a year and doing a pretty easy job like we do? yea, there may be mental stress. but, in my (almost) 15 years i have outlived, or stayed longer then most bosses, or 204bs, or mdo's, or whoever is the shark in the aquariam. lol WE ALL GOT IT MADE. lol yea, that's part of the yell too. as long as i have a roof over my head. not living in the hud apartments, have food on the table, meds when i rarely use them. not have to make a choice of using a pad or a diaper at that time of the month (yea, it really did happen) I ALWAYS HAVE IT MADE. and life is grand becouse God made it so threw my actions that i took to support my daughter.

oh here i go off in a tangent here. sorry. i still remember the first pay check i cleared 1,000 dollars. it was my first check at the po. before i was making 1,000 a month. there i made 1,000 in 2 weeks. i ran up the 1st floor loading dock screaming out of happiness. i was so thrilled. i cried and hugged all my coworkers. oh, richie, i really have it made. when i am feeling down i will remember how close i was to barely making it to that and i know i will always have it made.

and thank God for desert storm. it gave me free health coverage for life at the va.

God gave me a place to live when i had none in the army. He gave me the strenght to leave someone to save my life. He gave me a daughter when it was safe to have a baby in my life. He gave me housing when i thought i couldnt make it. He gave me strenght to make it threw 800.00 a month for salary. he gave me a sound body to do work of a man. He gave me a job that exceded what i asked him of (at least 30,000 a year). He gave me a home, and my vacation i take now and then. He gave me strong will power to make it threw major life changes and keep on going. God is my main man. He is all i will ever need. oh yes, He even gave me a good running car. I know it almost sounds like a boyfriend or husband dont it. perhaps he is the only real man i will only know that really takes care of me. it dont matter though. without God i am nothing.

i got some memorial day activies i want to do today. remember the water filtration unit that was killed in a bomb attack in desert storm. and all the iraq men that died fighting a war they couldnt win. sigh. take care and God bless. sorry it was so long.

Thanks Ida. I consider my self luck to have the life that I have. It can always get worse and will most likely get worse before it gets better. I hope my job hangs in there for me.

That train picture was taken on a highway overpass on the West side of Butler.
