Happy New Years 2014

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Are you glad that 2013 is over and we are on to a new year? What does a new years mean to you? A new beginning or more of the same old crap? Do we leave the bad behind in the old year and with only the good? If you wanted to leave the bad behind, why wait till the new year? Why not work on leaving the bad behind each morning when you wake up, strive to do better each and everyday! Thank God for what you have, and appreciate those around you, because if you have good people around you lifting you up then you will do great things. Conversely if you have negative people around you tearing you down, then they do not care about you, only themselves. 

Be thankful for those people in your life that build you up, I am not saying that you should not stand on your own two feet to do great things, but a great supporting cast is indispensable. Take responsibility for your actions if you are over 18 you are considered an adult, ACT LIKE IT! If you have children, act responsibly and take care of your children, do not let them run your life. They are the kids and you are the adult. Be kind to your kids, teach them, do things with them, take them for a walk in a park or a National Forest, if you live near a like take them to the lake in the winter, explore the outdoors with them. 

Appreciate the woman in your life, show her that you love her each and everyday! Treat her with kindness, and shower her with wonderful words, and actions. Make sure you open the door for her, make her dinner and even do the dishes. Help out around the house, do the laundry, sweep the floors, and even dust. Make sure her car is in good shape, get the oil changed, and make sure the tires are good. Take care of a great woman! She deserves it!!!

Snow when the trees are still turning

Have you ever seen snow while the trees are still colorful during the fall? It snowed yesterday here in La Porte, Indiana it was amazing to see over 7 inches of snow fall while some of the trees still have leaves on them. I was able to get a great picture of this. Have you had snow while the trees are still changing colors? Very cool to see, I was not ready to see the snow fall already, but in NW Indiana you never know what to expect this time of year. 

Monday morning coffee break

Good morning and Happy Monday everyone! How much coffee do you drink on Monday mornings? This morning was about a 10 cup day for me, and right now I could use more to warm me up, as peppermint schnapps is frowned upon during work hours.  

They are predicting that we will have a little snow tonight and tomorrow, were I live there might be 4-7 inches of the white fluffy stuff. Not that I mind the snow, I am enjoying it less and less in life. You have to clean the windows off, wear extra cloths, lace up your boots, find gloves from last year, or buy a new pair. You always seem to need them when you have no time to find them either. 

Fall Sundays

Good morning everyone! The trees are almost done displaying their brilliant colors for this fall, many are shedding their leaves like a dog after a bath, the branches moving up, down and sideways in the wind. Everyone was raking, mowing and trying to coral the leaves yesterday. Today is almost as windy and much cooler than yesterday, the rain is holding off, but the snow looks to be coming to North West Indiana on Tuesday. I hope that everyone has a wonderful day, enjoy the time you have with the ones you love, friends, family and those you care about the most. 

Thursday Morning

Good morning everyone! Thank you for stopping by my blog. 

With all the talk about the Affordable Care Act 'Obamacare', what is your take on it. From what I can gather, the least expensive tier of coverage will cost me over $300 dollars a month. That is something that I cannot afford, with the cost of everything else, gas, rent, food, and utilities there is not much left. 

Does your employer offer you health insurance, or have you been told that policy will end when Obamacare take effect?

Are you going to sign up for the Affordable Care Act "Tax"? 

Pay check

Hello everyone and thank you for reading my page. 

I very much enjoy my job as director of media, being responsible for posting to Facebook, Twitter, a Word Press blog and reviewing and uploading You Tube videos. It is rewarding, challenging and even frustrating at times, but it a great job. 

One thing I do not enjoy about my job, is being told that despite being paid on the 1st and the 15th; being told on the 4th that I cannot have my pay check it a little disturbing! I show up on time for work, and stay to the appropriate quitting time, I work on the weekends, I do my job well, as I take pride in my work and feel that I should be compensated for this work.  I complete all of the tasks that I am asked to do in a timely manner, and I do them well.. I just cannot believe denying us are checks is right. If you cannot afford to pay us at least tell us so we can find other meas of supporting ourselves.. 

I know I am going to start looking right away. If you know of anyone needing a director of media or a social media person send them my way.. 

Borrowing Stuff

Hello everyone, when someone you know is nice enough to lend you something to use, do you use it and return it promptly? Do you let the person that you borrowed the item from when you are done and make arrangements to return it? Do you let them know that you will need it for an extend period of time? Or do you never bring it back, but take it to your local pawn shop and pawn it or sell it? 

This happened to me recently, I let someone borrow a floor jack to work on his vehicle, and then to work on his sisters vehicle, but then when asked about it he said he returned it. When clearly he did not return this item, because it is not in your possession. Especially after searching everywhere for it when you needed to work on your own vehicle. 

How often do you make an honest mistake when borrowing something and forget about it, then find it or remember it and make every effort to return it to the rightful owner? This has happened to me, you realize you borrowed an item and realize oh crap I forgot to return that. So you make hast, go out of your way to make sure it gets back to it rightful owner and apologize profusely about forgetting the item. 

You DO NOT pawn or sell the item, then claim you returned it, that is just being a bad person, rotten to the core.  Well you can bet that someone will never borrow from me again. 

Would you let someone borrow something from you that you know you would not get back?
