My ADD life

Since I did not write yesterday due to illness, today I will cover three different things. First is about cities and states creating laws about texting and driving. This just seems like wasted law making time, but has to be done. When did people get to be so idiotic as to think they should do this? I mean over the years insurance companies and others have done studies showing how distracted drivers are more likely to have a wreck. Do you not think this is a distraction? When did we decide that we had to be able to be reached at every moment of our life? Are people afraid to be alone with their own thoughts? I enjoy driving most of the time because I can think and be by myself. This is where I figure my life out, but then that may be what’s wrong with the world. Second thing. They are discovering that Boy Scout leaders have been molesting boys. Does this come as a surprise to anyone? Any time you have an adult in a leadership role over children you run the chance of molestation. I...

What you ask does that mean. Simply "don't ask don't tell". For those of you living under a rock for several years that is the military's answer to gays and lesbian serving in the miltary. When this issue first came up many years ago I had the same responce as I do today.... Why? Can these men and women not defend and die for their country just like a straight person, or a black person, or a jewish person. I really think that the major problem here is that the military is a manily male run organization and lets face it men think that all women and any gay man would be attracted to them. They are so afraid that the man in their unit would make a pass at them that they can't see allowing them in. I did read one article  in Think Progress that stated: "– 60% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans believe that being gay or lesbian “has no bearing on a service member’s ability to perform their duties.” Only 29% disagree. – 73% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans say i...

Each day I am amazed at how low some people are. I just saw an article on one of our local websites about an 84 year old woman in a nursing home that was raped. How sick does a person have to be to do that. The really sad part is she did not know it had happened or, hopefully, she was not able to register the act as it happened. This had to be one sick man. What could he possibly gotten out of this act? Other than power and perhaps an orgasm. Is an orgasm even worth that. I just don't understand why you would not want to have sex with someone not capable of responding to you, but then I just don't understand rape. Then I read about women in Haiti being raped because of no security and no lighting. The article talked about how there has always been a problem with rape in the country because the military hands out coupons for food in exchange for sex. I always knew this was a poor country but I really had no idea this went on. It's bad enough that the women there have los...

Thats all I can say. The day started out like any Monday me rushing around trying to get out and to work before the staff meeting started. The day even went pretty well till lunch. Then my computer at work decided to have a nervous breakdown. Well not so much the computer as Autocad (that's the program I use for my job). I get really frustrated with things I can't understand. Then I went to the bathroom and when I washed my hands I noticed there were no paper towels in the trash. Now this may seem like a stange thing to be comenting on so let me say I work with a bunch of guys. Many times they use the "womens" restroom because someone will be in theirs. The policy at the office is there are 9 men and 2 women so if theirs is occupied use ours. Many times they will use or bathroom because its cleaner or smells better. So anyway back to my story. I go in and as I wash my hands I see there are no towels in the trash. Now I have heard the door being closed at least three t...
