To Smoke, or Not to Smoke

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Welcome back!

That is the question. I do not smoke. Have some friends that do. That’s life.

However, there are some new rules going around in this part of the country that I do not like. Politicians are trying to tell businesses whether or not to allow smoking in those areas. That choice should be left to the individual businesses to determine.

The next thing that I know the politicians will try to make rules against the electronic cigarette that some people are using. They already try to tell us what we can and can not eat. I mean what is with this people. Don’t they have enough to do without trying to mess with our individual lives. If the owner of a place does not want smoking, fine. If they do want smoking, fine. Put a notice on the door that says smoking allowed here. If non smokers do not want the smoke, they do not enter. SIMPLE, right………….not with politicians.

Can you guess that I am not fond of politicians? :)

I wonder

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

I really do wonder about something. I had mentioned some trouble that i am having with one of our creditors. They decided to change the due date of the bill and then decided to add a late charge even though the bill was not yet due.

I wonder if there is such a thing as term life insurance concerning such problems. They have removed the illegal late charge, they supposedly have re-changed the due date (which they never should have changed to begin with). I wonder what they will try to do next. I wonder if they also removed any interest that came about as a result of their illegal ‘late’ charge?

If it sounds like I am still angry - I am. I do not like people playing games with my life, or with my husband’s life, or anything connected to us.

Car sold !

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

We have a 1993 Chevy Cavalier Station wagon. It runs great, is easy on the gas mileage, and my husband and I feel like sardines when we are sitting it in.

We are both big people, he stands at 6 foot tall. The car will take us places, but I do not like feeling like a sardine. We could take Liporexall and try to lose weight, but that wouldn’t help my husband with his height.

One of the ladies from church is interested in it and I believe that we have it sold. The money from its sale will be set aside to hopefully get a motorcycle for my husband. He has been at a loss since he hasn’t had a bike in a while. I hope that everything goes in a smooth manner, and I hope that this lady and her kids will find the car a blessing. It did bless us for a while, even though it was tight quarters when we were in it. :)

Two things happened today. One bad, one was good.

Got a flat in an unexpected way. Hit and curb and hsssss - yuk. The good that happened happened at the gas station that was right there at the corner where the bad happened.

I pulled in when I heard the hssss. My rim was severely damaged, my tire flat. One of the ladies working there came out and asked if we were okay and what happened. She later told us that this particular corner claim many victims. She invited my husband and brother into the store and gave them some coffee - free. She told us not to worry about needing to park there and said if we needed to sit inside we were welcome. The mager of the store also told us the same and warned us about the corner and the reverse side of the street because it does the same thing to vehicles.

The kindness and compassion shown by these wonderful people (all 3 of them) is a wonderful way to show the good quality of the people who work for the Exxon Corporation.

The store is:
TRAVELMART #18
3002 Thornton Lane
Temple, Texas 76502
(254)771-3744

I believe that if a person has something good to say about someone, it should be said. Too many times only the bad is heard and that is not fair. Kindness, compassion, and concern are to be treasured when those qualities are shown by people. :)
