Stupid People

So this morning I was driving to work as I usually do. I always look ahead to see what is coming up and the possibility of people darting out in front of me. So I was more than halfway to my destination this morning between 6:30 and 6:45 when this women walking her dog crosses in front of me. I had a green light. Yes you heard me it was a green light. That sucker was not going to get any greener so this woman walking her dog walks right in front of my car on a 4 lane road. So being that I am such a nice person I stopped so she could cross without getting hit. I look up as she is in the lane next to me and she is not only walking her dog but she apparently is talking on her cell phone not paying attention to the fact that she is crossing a 4 lane road where the the speed limit is 45 MPH and cars regularly exceed that. Most people are in the range of 50- 55mph in that stretch of road. This stretch of road also has a turn lane as well. There are lots of businesses on this road and lots of traffic. With all the bans on talking on your cell phone while driving should we now ban stupid people from walking their dog and talking on there cell phones too? It is people like that wind up getting stupid cell phone laws passed and make the rest of society suffer for it. My question is who in the hell would be carrying on a conversation at 6:30 in the morning. Do lawmakers think that all of society is as dumb as this woman I am talking about? I sure as hell hope not or we are all in trouble.

Link from blog is similar to other paid blogging companies in that you bid for jobs and the advertisers will look at the bids and determine who they want to write the reviews.

Blog Anniversary Milestone

   It is hard to believe that I have had this blog for the last 7 years.   I never thought that I would continue to do it for this long.    I have taken breaks here and there but I always come back and post something.   Sometimes it is a few weeks or months.   I have gone as long as a year but I always come back.   Looking through my archives I found how short my posts were and how few and far between they are in some spots as well.  When my husband and I set up our blogs all those years ago not many people knew what blogs were.   Now everyone has one.   Okay, well maybe not everyone my parents do not have one nor do I see either of them getting one anytime soon.  It is amazing to see what people blog about.   I read a long list of blogs religiously but have never been able to blog what I would call consistently.   As much as I enjoy it it seems a lot of people get tired of...

Technology

Well where do I begin with this one.   It seems like technology has not been my friend this week.  I wanted to make some updates to my handmade jewelry store , but the internet had other things in mind for me.  Yesterday when our internet connection seemed to be working in my favor I set out to do the updates that I mentioned.   Well that did not happen.  The network storage device that we have for backup was not accessible all day long.  Last night after Art woke up he finally got the device working again.   Needless to say we just backed up the device with a portable usb hard drive.  I didn�t know everything had to be so redundant.  So this morning was spent making updates to my site and getting blog going for my handmade jewelry store.  Everything store related will be posted here.    I will occasionally mention it on this one but any changes I make or products I add will be posted on my jewelry blog.
