Not all but some!

I have to write this, some not all of the police in Rahway NJ, need a good dose on how to treat people with respect and a little concern also. My brother-in-law was on line waiting for gas at Shell gas station on St. George ave. in Rahway people overheard the person who runs the station talking to a police officer and the officer saying you have to give me $100.00 an hour to protect the area which the owner a women said really, okay I will just call city hall and the captain and tell him what you want an hour, of course he (the police officer turn around and worked for what he was really suppose to get and it was not 100.00 an hour! Come on price gauging! Than I was on a line and this older gentleman said to me another police officer again in Rahway was so nasty to him just because he was waiting on a line before the gas station was opened. He said to me I could see if I looked like some teenager with a mouth who was going to start trouble but I am a 65 yr old man in a Plymouth who just wanted gas. He was so upset for no reason at all. Now is that the way a cop should act? He said the way this officer talk to him like with complete disrespect and like he was a complete trash. Someone should tell them to just do their jobs and shut the hell up, like they think they could tell people to do!  Stress was high no doult in my mine, but if you are not causing any problems their is no need to treat a person like they are a hoodlum, that's not what wearing a badge is about!  I think a police officer should get evaluated at least every 5 years to make sure like a teacher they can still do the job! I mean really if you could treat a teacher like that why not a police officer. Think about it, some officers out there should not be even able to carry a gun if they have an anger problems at all! I understand being a police officer is very dangeous in this day and age but a good cop knows pretty much a good situation from a bad one.  In a time of crisis, people do not need cops to be the bad guys they are there to serve and protect the public not treat them like shit! My son wants to be a cop, all I said to him is being a cop is not about who you think you are its about taking pride in what you do, its a job, there is loads of crap out there, you just have to know the difference, a badge does not give you the right to step on people!  Please understand me there a loads of great cops out there, but sometimes you get a few that make people judge them all!

10 days! (Hurricane Sandy)

Hi everyone, it has been a long journey, for my family!  No, no flooding for us, no our house did not get ravished by the ocean, I truly feel for all those that lost everything they owned! I was one many people that lost electric and food and all things that we are use to in our everyday life. We are spoiled by all the luxuries in our life, electric, heat, TV, looking good if you are a women and if you are a typical male, Sundays on the couch looking at football!  Warmth and light,  food in the fridge and enjoying your home knowing it is there for you and your family is by far the most wonderful thing in my life. After this I will never take what I have for granted again, I promise you that! After what little I have been through by far is a wake up call on how fast things change.  I cannot even fathom what people who have lost everything is going through right now! If I am being honest with myself, I have had a lot of selfish moments of feeling sorry for myself which I am not embarrassed at all!  In my area, for the last 10 days it has been no gas for cars lines and lines of people waiting in the cold, no heat and light and searching for places to get food!  Businesses after businesses closed and panic for everyone!  Street after street of trees on houses, roads closed and trying to find ways to those in the next town over.  Somewhere that took only 5min. to get to will take an hour or more. I was pissed off more than once when I was told by certain individuals, people have it worse than us, which of course I understand that but I don't need a person who gets all there privileges back 3 days into the storm and acts like I as a person have no rights or feelings at all for those people who have lost everything while they go home and are in there nice warm house and eating a hot meal with there love one! My answer to that person is look at yourself before you open your  mouth! Are you telling me I do not have the right to be upset that my life is upside down and I do not have the right to say I am cold and tired, really.  Any lost is a great loss no matter where,who and what people occur!  A person of older years living in the dark without heat and electricity for days is bad!  Being afraid of where your next meal is, is bad, wondering where your next pay check is coming from is bad, wondering if you have a job to go back to is bad! Wondering if the tree on your house that just caved in on your roof will be covered by Insurance is bad!  So please don't tell me we do not have it ruff we do, maybe not like others that loss all but enough to know we might loose it all too!  It is never about who has it the worse it should be about who needs help no matter what or where it is!  A selfish person is to me the person who says it, and half the time the person who says it is usually just worried about themselves in the long run! Thank god for people who really care about all people, not just some!

Horoscope update! Aries-10/26/12

This one is good and boy does it relate to my life, It reads: You can spot irritable people at a distance. If you can't avoid them all together, you take care not to arouse antagonism on any level.  Really now how do you do that, I will tell you how!  I am around irritable people 24/7, just a statement, a question will set of fireworks that will make you say, what am I doing here!  It is so much easier said than done but you do what you have to do!  Sure I would love not to even have to deal with a person or persons like that but certain things are not under my control and being made to look stupid has been a big part of my life the last  14 yrs you kinda get used to it!  But and there is a but,  I know, me , myself and I know, I am far from stupid and that's all that really matters.  No one and I mean no one will take my worth from me come hell or high water!  Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Try as you may, not going to happen! Oh and I forgot you could take that to the bank!

Great!!!!!

I was down the cellar putting cloths in the dryer while my son was taking a shower, that next thing I hear is flowing water, my sewer pipe has a hole in it!  Not a great way to start the day, I could not fine the number for the plumber so I had to call my mother-in-law and explain the situation at 6:30 in the morning in complete detail! So after it stop leaking I dried the pipe and put duck tape over the little hole, good thinking right! Nope not to the hubby, he said I was crazy LOL thats nothing new!  Well, the good news is the hole is right over the sun pump and  I finally got the plumber, he will be here after 3 pm today  thank God, the bad news more money! I swear when it rains it sure does pour!  No matter what  I will make this weekend as good as the past three weekends were so help me God! Latter my friends!

Thursday!

Hi fellow bloggers, one more day of the daily grind and weekend is here, now all we have to do is worry about the up and coming storm next week.  The weathermen on the news are acting like this could be a perfect storm sort of thing! Not excited about the outcome of this one.  In my area if electric goes down, it takes forever to get back on! Forever for me is a couple of hours to a day, but I know people who have been without electric for days, so I really need to zip it close and stop complaining!
God forbid I cannot blow dry my hair!  The weather today looks and feels like rain, but I do not see a drop in sight!  Two more hours  to go and off to the dentist and home for the night!  I have been watching a new show on Thursdays  WB channel called Beauty and the beast, It most be about the 3rd remake of this show, but I always seem to fall in love with the beast, go figure.  Phantom of the Opera, I did the same thing I was routing for the Phantom instead of the nice boy who she love!  Boring for sure pick the Phantom.  LOL I just love to ramble!!!

Quite time and politics!

Home from work and just enjoying some quite time, calm and relaxed is the best! Me and the hubby looking at Chris Mathews on Msn NBC. My mom-in-law hates this channel she is a Fox news channel person.  I really believe the Fox channel has one of those swirly things with the colors that hypnotize you! LOL no seriously I think it says hate Obama , hate Obama and the swirly thing does something to your mine and the results is you hate Obama!   LMAO, The family tease my mother-in-law horribly and she gets so mad when my husband, nephew and son do that!  She once was a die-hard Democrat and now is a die- hard Republican.  I don't have a problem with anyones political views, we all have choices.  The problem I do have is, when I walk through the door, do not beat me over the head trying to change the way I see things.  I am a firm believer to each their own.  You like who you like I like who I like, that's your opinion and I have my opinion!  I have learned that politics and talk can turn out very deadly to say the least!  I do not pretend I know much at all about politics! Most of the time I pretty much feel they say what they know you want to hear and than pretty much do nothing at all!  We all have a form of tunnel vision, one way or the other!  If you talk to a Democrat they blame Republicans and visa versa!  Me I just think in 2 weeks we will know who the President will be, and than I pray please make it better, please make the changes you promise, please do not let us down again!

So far, so good!

Things are moving along so fast.  Can you believe it is almost Halloween than Thanksgiving & Christmas or whatever other holiday all my friends get to enjoy! Today I am feeling very content, if that is the right word to use!  I love when I feel like that, sometimes in life things just go as planned and it is just so wonderful!  Rob (my son) is doing great in his first year of college, no questions need to be ask because it is very obvious to us he has everything under control and he knows we are here for him!  His acting classes are going very well, and he feels he is improving on his acting also! He knows January will be here before you know it and the movie will begin filming his parts, so ready he will be! I have learned my not so exciting life might not be exciting to anyone but me, but you know what that is okay! Each and every day all that matters is family, love of life and the joys of future days to come!
