2 Peas in a Pod

Ambiguous Information?

Oh no, please don’t bother! That small amount of ambiguous information will be more than enough. I will use my magic wand to find out the rest!

Today is New

Today I learned that an old friend of mine lost a special friend of his recently. She had MS and passed away. We are all only on this Earth for a short time with those who we love or should love. Today I am going to try to make myself better; because I can't control how anyone else behaves. I can't be burdened with negative things from the past. I can remember the past and learn from it. I will not live in it. -KJC

Bathroom Controversy Leaves Floor Wet

Bathroom Controversy Leaves Floor Wet UnAssociated Press May 27, 2016 As the confusion grows about to who can go to the bathroom where, puddles have been appearing in front of restroom doors. Many people feel more comfortable peeing on the floor for fear of using the wrong bathroom. So far no piles of poop; but bowel movements may be coming. ”The whole thing stinks!” said one man… er woman… ”I don’t know where to go anymore!” If you are out at a public place, we recommend boots.

Transgender Bathroom Law

http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/25/politics/texas-lawsuit-barack-obama-transgender/ The owner of the building is saying that he cannot afford the space or the price for a third bathroom to accommodate "other." I understand that people are quite concerned about where transgender people should go to relieve themselves. Maybe I am not being politically correct, but it seems that it is fairly simple. Perhaps the signs on "restrooms" should not say, "Male" or "Female." Perhaps they should say, "If you have a penis, go in here." If you have a vagina, go in this one." Things were certainly more defined back in "the old days;" weren't they? http://cutris.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-restroom-signs.html

Killed By Police

Here is a morbidly interesting website that documents the people killed by police in the USA. The most telling thing about it, is that I think it demonstrates that the demographics of the deceased are far from exclusively from one particular racial group—as many with their own version of the truth and their own political agenda may want you to believe. http://killedbypolice.net/

Curb Appeal?

Selling Your House: Lesson 1 - Curb Appeal When selling a house, always make sure that the yard has dandelion s that are a minimum of ten inches tall and going to seed. This enhances the value of your property immensely.

Should You Stop Blaming Others?

It seems that there is a constant theme here in America that I am getting tired of. There are a lot of people who don’t want to be responsible and along with that, they want to blame someone else for their bad behavior and the resulting problems. The cast of whiners is large; and includes such groups as Black Lives Matter and even individuals like my brother-in-law who doesn’t like to work. At no time do these people (and many, many others) ever consider that they, themselves, might be responsible for their own successes and failures. Rather, they conclude that by blaming others they can succeed. This is false. And even if this strategy works temporarily because “you” have picked a politically charged or emotional subject in which to base your argument, eventually, even if it takes a long time for the “super politically correct” people to catch on, your true stand will be seen as the trumped up falsity that you have latched onto. In other words, the police did not shoot an unarmed b...

13

On Friday the 13th, you should know that the Earth runs on 13 months of 28 days each (regardless of the 12 irregular months you might be using). Other natural cycles also occur 13 times per year. Turtle shells have 13 plates. It is a very significant and sacred number. So have a great day!

Shifting Blame to User

One Year Since Anyone Pulled A Gun on Me!

He chased my car with a gun in his hand. When the police stopped him he had a gun on the seat, a knife in the door and pot in his pocket. He was released after lying that he never pulled the gun and showing his gun permit. I sometimes wonder if I would be alive today if I had driven into a dead end street instead of a police station parking lot. So while you consider the possibility of being shot by a thug who is illegally carrying a gun, remember that there are crazy people who carry guns legally too.

Riceland Brown Rice has Weevils

So I realize that weevils can and do occur in rice. It only happened to me once before and the manufacturer happily replaced it. But recently, in a package of Riceland Brown Rice , I noticed weevils floating in it as I washed it. I notified Cub Foods (online) where I bought it, but they told me to contact Riceland directly. I also emailed Riceland (customer service) multiple times and received no response. So I just wanted to put a little warning out that if you buy a Riceland product from Cub Foods and it is bad, you probably will just be out the money you spent—unless you wash the bugs out and keep eating it—which is a viable option. Update - Just 3 ½ hours after sending the link to this review to the same Riceland customer service email address I got a response! I will update if anything comes of it. Update 5/16/2016 - I received coupons in the mail for free rice from Riceland.

Do These Lives Matter?

http://kstp.com/news/north-minneapolis-shooting-police-department-16th-avenue-newtown-avenue/4127385/?cat=1 I'm still waiting for clarification. Do the lives still matter when African-Americans shoot African-Americans; or is it only when they are shot by police?

Почему Россия пытается начать войну с США ?

Почему Россия пытается начать войну с США ? Если они продолжают летать самолеты-истребители так близко к американским кораблей и самолетов , это только вопрос времени , пока не получает сбит. Вы знаете , что произойдет ; поэтому прекратите делать это! Почему вы хотите войну ? Why is Russia trying to start a war with the USA? If they continue to fly fighter planes so close to the US ships and aircraft, it is only a matter of time until one gets shot down. You know what will happen; so stop doing it! Why do you want a war?

Does this bridge really need to be replaced? I mean just because it is crumbling doesn't mean it will fall down does it?
