Some may say I have this in the wrong section, but to me this is not very entertaining and not many read the Faith blogs so I put here. Today I heard the news of another child, another friend of my sons, a kid I coached at T-ball has died. A senseless death. Playing a game with a gun. When are these kids going to learn when you do stupid things like this, you are not only hurting/killing yourself you are hurting/killing us. The ones that have to stay on Earth and feel the pain of your loss. What is it going to take for you kids today to learn some respect and stop doing stupid crap. Have you not learned yet with all the things that have gone on that you are not invincible? I hurt as if you were my own and I am tired of hurting for all the children. I hope my son, you can finally understand why I "blow" your cell phone up and I am constantly "riding your back", I do this because I love you. So, as long as your my son and I am your mother get used to it! I wrote a little poem today. It's not very good, but helps to release some of my anger. And yes, I know I shouldn't be angry with God, I can't help what I feel. I am angry with these kids today and I am angry with the parents, and society. Thanks to all who listen to me get my anger off my chest.
God,
Please tell me why you do what you do....
You give us angels and take them back to you.
These angels were meant for me....
For some reason they had to go back to Thee.
I know a child is a blessing from above....
So, please tell me why you took our love.
I have tried to teach right from wrong....
Was there something else I could have done to make them strong?
Teens today think they know it all....
Please show us how to teach them not to fall.
God, please give us another chance....
And bring our angels home for another dance!!!
Cell phone information......

PRINT AND SAVE IN CAR GLOVE BOX.
ALSO KEEP COPY AT HOME OR OFFICE
5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST -- Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND--
Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine!
We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"
THIRD--
Hidden Battery Power Imagine your cell battery is very low.
To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
FOURTH--
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
And Finally....
FIFTH--
Free Directory Service for Cells Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now
THE MEDIA MISSED THIS ONE....

The Media Missed this one!!!!
Please read/share this with others you know. They'll appreciate it.
Subject: Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center
Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in
San Antonio,Texas (BAM C) the other day. This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses.
The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine,they are almost filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build.
He took his check book out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot.
The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.
The question I have is why does:
Alec Baldwin,
Madonna, 
Sean Penn 
and
other Hollywood types 
make front page news with their anti-everything America trash and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio.

I just want to say I hope the IDIOT who almost killed me and my kids today on 90 can sleep good tonight. You are an a**hole!!! If I was not so shaken up by you running me off the road I would have grabbed my cell phone and turned you in. What kind of person drives like that anywhere especially on a highway. I hope someone else got your plate number and turned you in you coward! Thanks to you my kids are very upset and are still crying. Take your road rage someplace else where you can only KILL yourself and nobody else.
Urine Test...

URINE TEST
(I sure would like to know who wrote this one! They deserve a HUGE pat on the back!)
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their butts, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much m oney the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check ?

WHERE ARE ALL THE FLAGS??
Sep 11, 2007 | 1:31 PM PST
Category:
News
As I was on my way to my son's school this morning I could not help but ask myself where are all the flags. I put one out. As we mark the 6th anniversary of the 9/11, was it too much for everyone to stand together as one and put our flags out? Is is too much to ask for? Personally I feel we should be hanging them every day and as high as they can go. We need them up not just on 4th of July, Memorial day, Labor Day, Flag's day, or Veteran's day, but everyday. We need to go back to be the proud Americans that we once were. We need to stand together as ONE. We need to stop the violence that we do to each other because Lord knows the terrorists do a fine job alone. Stop killing our own. Get involved and show the world that we are not going to take this anymore. It is awful that we are shooting our children of the future. Wake up America before it's too late. Today is suppose to remind ourselves to hold our loved ones a little tighter, to tell the one's we love, we love them, give a helping hand, and give that stranger a smile. We can't change what happened to us 6 years ago, but we can certainly fix it by not allowing anyone to hurt us anymore. God Bless America
Fighting Terrorism....
Aug 26, 2007 | 1:43 PM PST

I have the solution on fighting terrorism:
Take all American women who are within five years of menopause-
train us for a few weeks, outfit us with automatic weapons, grenades, gas masks, moisturizer with spf15, Prozac, hormones, chocolate, and canned tuna-
drop us (parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan, and let us do what comes naturally.
Think about it....
Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff like grocery shopping and paying bills, is formidable enough to make even armed men in turbans tremble.
We've had our children, we would gladly suffer or die to protect them and their future. We'd like to get away from our husbands, if they haven't left already. And for those of us who are single, the prospect of finding a good man with whom to share life is about as likely as being struck by lightning. We have nothing to lose.
We've survived the water diet, the protein diet, the carbohydrate diet, and the grapefruit diet in gyms, saunas across America and never lost a pound. We can easily survive months in the hostile terrain of Afghanistan with no food at all!!
We've spent years tracking down our husbands or lovers in bars, hardware stores, or sporting events....finding Bin Laden in some cave will be no problem. Uniting all the warring tribes of Afghanistan in a new government? Oh please... we've planned the seating arrangements for in-laws and extended families for Thanksgiving dinner for years.....We understand tribal warfare.
Between us, we've divorced enough husbands to know every trick there is or how they hide, launder, or cover-up bank accounts and money sources. We know how to find that money and we know how to seize it....with or with out the government's help!!
Let us go and fight. The Taliban hates women. Imagine their terror as we crawl like ants with hot flashes over their godforsaken terrain.
I'm going to write to my congresswoman....You should too!!!!
Who's Hitting 40 This Year.....

I know it's just a number and as a teen I never thought I'd live to be this "old", but here I am, cowering from the oncoming black day on the calendar. I have to admit, I am having a really hard time coming to grips with it. In your 20's people think you are too immature to know anything and 30's people think you are suppose to have a plan for your life. At 40 everyone thinks that you have everything in place and there is not that need to "prove" anything to anyone. Some days I feel like I'm back in my 20's and other day's I feel I could be in my 90's. I was just wondering if 40's was hard for anyone else and how you got through it.
Points To Ponder

Points to ponder could Shrink The Earth
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
There would be:
57Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be nonwhite
30 would be white
70 would be non Christian
30 would be Christian
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would br from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
when one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
The Following is also something to ponder.......
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness.....
you are blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pains of starvation....
you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep....
you are richer than 75% of this world!!!
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace....
you are among top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married....
you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada.
LETS ALL COUNT OUR BLESSINGS!!!!!

FOX8,
I am very disappointed in you!! Why did we not hear about what kind of dog attacked the little boy? I am quite sure it was not a pitbull because if it was you betcha it would have been the FIRST thing you would have said...."Another Pitbull Attack".
So someone please tell me......
This is to the lady who responded to another post a few days ago that there is no other vicious dogs out there but Pitbulls, I beg to differ!!!!
Most Embarrassing Moments.......

Ok, so I figured I would change the atmosphere in here a little... ....
We were at our friends over the weekend and the most embarrassing thing happened to me. You know the commercial with the birds and the windex, when the guy walks right into the window. Well that was me!! Our friends left the sliding glass doors open all day, and when I went to walk into the house I ran right into the doors. I could have died. I cried and not from getting hurt, but because everyone saw it and laughed their butts off. I am glad I could make every one's day, but now that I am over the humiliation I thought it would be fun to ask all of you what was your most embarrassing moment. I need some laughs now.......
