Land of the Free????

Disclaimer: This might be offensive to some, but remember keep in mind it’s A FREE COUNTRY, AND I PAY MY TAXES, SO I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO SAY WHAT I’M ABOUT TO!

Here in Michigan this Saturday a ban for no smoking in bars and restaurants goes into effect. I realize we are not the first state to do this. I understand that there are people who would like to go some place and not smell smoke. I realize it is there right to lobby for this bill to go through. I realize this because it is America we live in. With that being said isn’t my right to be able to go into a bar and have a drink and smoke. Hell that’s half the reason I go to the bar. Now the lawmakers say I can’t have a drink and a cig at the same time. Screw you Granholm, you have screwed up or state so bad and this is another one of those choices that is screwing us here. In addition, I would like to say screw you to all law makers, cause it seems you have your heads up your asses and where you should be focusing your energy you’re not. Like pulling our state out of this hole we're in, I mean just a thought.
What’s funny is this law excluded Cigar bars, tobacco retailers and on Casino floors. Interesting that these places are excluded. However, Hookah bars do fall under this law. Ummm that seems ass backwards you mean to tell me Cigar Bars, can continue to have smoking, but a Hookah bar can’t. Hello, on some level isn’t a Hookah bar like a Cigar bar, people go to smoke. It’s what the business was started for. Alright, I would like to meet the dumb ass who wrote this bill. My guess is they go to Cigar Bars and the Casino. I personally think this is showing favoritism. Mr. Law maker let me clue you in on something if you’re going to make a rule, make sure it’s for everyone to follow! Not just so, when you go some place you can still enjoy your smoke. I mean if you go into school most of the school rules apply to everyone, not just certain groups. It’s contradiction of the powers that be at its greatest. Thanks once again for showing me how stupid you really are.
I would like to say I do get work places and places children might go to, but if you’re taking your kid to a bar after 9pm, someone should write a law banning you! They saying their doing it to protect people. Protecting!?!?!? Give them facts about second hand smoke and then if they don’t want the job, it’s their choice, but if they do take the job….don‘t complain. Last time I checked this is America the land of the free and the home of the motherfucking brave!!!!!!!! We know smoking kills, but so will my shampoo with all the PEGS in it. For those of you who don’t know what PEGS are; they are a carcinogen, meaning it’s a cancer-causing agent. In addition, the higher the PEG the more carcinogens you’re being exposed to. Hence, Mr. Law maker how about you ban people from using shampoo, it poses an unsafe risk to everyone, and can lead to health problems, and we all have shampoo in our homes! A great example is Salon’s they have shampoo and the hairdresser uses the shampoo. They have just risked my life, and I was not informed of this risk. Why don’t the lawmakers do something about that? Better yet let’s put a ban on war, because it harms and kill our family and friends. Oh yeah I know why cause they have double standards. They will send my family and friends off to war to die, but I can’t smoke in a bar because it poses too much of a threat to people. Does anyone but me see the double fucking standard?!?!?!?! While we’re on the topic this no smoking ban also includes Legions and VFW, I personally think these folks have earned their right to smoke in a bar, more than I have. They went to war for us protecting us, and if they want to go down to the Legion and have a drink and smoke LET THEM!!!!!!
Just so, nobody is confused I do love being American, but I personally do think that the Government is screwed in their thought process and the law the come up with. Maybe I’ll run for office; Senator Baldo, I like that I’ll keep that in mind for a later date.

Paying for dating…….

Hello friends who have been asking for this, and those of you stumbled upon this here you go………..

Recently a friend of mine suggested I try eHarmony. At first I thought, yeah because that has worked so well for me in the past. I will admit I have tried other online dating sites and Yahoo, is a free getting laid service. I will admit, that this was how I meet the love of my life, but for those of you who know me, know how that ended. However, he was the only one who wasn’t trying to get me in bed five minutes after meeting me. I also tried Match.com and it was okay. I meet someone, and he dropped I love you into a month of dating and… I was out. I mean come on let’s not jump the gun, we have only know each other a month. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but I personally don’t fall that fast. Online dating does work; I have meet people who it has worked for, and some who have had the same luck as myself. Therefore, last night I wasn’t sleeping and we all know what happens when we can’t sleep. We find ourselves lying in bed, thinking over our life and trying to formulate a new plan of action. In my planning stages at 3am, I decided yeah l’ll check this eHarmony thing out, and if this doesn’t work, well I’m just screwed. Picture this 3am in the morning, no much sleep, formulating my new plan to get a man. First I head over to their site and it’s draws you in with the wording and coloring, (mind you no sleep is like, kind of being drunk) and the happy couple smiling, as if life couldn’t be more blissful. The next step is to fill out a physiological profile. Okay, I’m game, but as I, start doing it, and it is very general questions. If any of you have taken one you know, but those of you haven’t it’s, a questioner that ask questions like; are you quick to anger, do you thing people are out to get you, and you have a scale of not at all to very much. Then there are the one word questions like; spirituality, selfishness, adventurous, spontaneous, and so forth…. At this point, I thinking what if the man or woman filling this out is crazy, and knows how to answer these questions to appear like a good match. I mean let’s be honest on a computer crazy can hide! Anyway and hour later I finish the physiological profile and I’m getting excited to see based on my answers what kind of person they think is right for me. But, before they take me to my matches pages they take me to the page on the site where you can sign up to respond and see who’s viewed you etc…..As it turns out you do get don’t really get to view your matches for free. All you get is a person’s name, their location and a few tid bits of info, on your match. HUH!!!!! You mean I sat in front of my computer at 3 in the morning, for over any hour an all I get is a name, age and some info. As it turns out for one month you can pay 59.95, and find out the right man for your, or if that’s not enough time you can get a trial offer in the first 7 days of sign up for 3 months at the low price of 24.95. The highest was 23.95 for twelve months, billed in on installment of 287.40. I about choked at these prices, I mean come on pay to meet someone! I guess what I want to know is do I get a refund if Mr. Wonderful is Mr. Crazy or Mr. Asshole? I mean that is a fair question and should be included in their fine print.

I guess what got me to thinking, was why and when did someone say pay this amount take a test and we guarantee you will meet the person right for you! ****cough, cough…bullshit**** I remember my mom years ago payed to place an ad in the penny saver to meet a man. I myself refuse to pay to meet someone. I mean what happen to the old-fashion way of he sees me and has to cross a busy road just to get my number. On the other hand, what about friends introducing you, that’s how my mom met my step dad. What about the singles mingles, or parent without partner dances? It’s like if you don’t sign up for and online dating site, then you won’t date or meet anyone. Call me old-fashion, a hopeless romantic, but there is something to be said for meeting a person face to face and getting to know them. Yeah I know well you can do that through the dating site. Sure after we spend constant hours IM, emailing back and forth till one person say’s “hey want to meet, in person?” You agree and come to find out there isn’t an ounce of chemistry, and their picture looked nothing like them. Talk about a letdown, that’s why I say let’s go back to the old way of meeting them on the street, through friends, singles groups, or heck even at my kids sporting event. There is something special about locking eyes with someone you know nothing about, talking for hours, and then exchanging numbers, and progressing from there. Couldn’t it be said that this is just high priced prostitution; I mean it’s not the same thing but essentially, I’m paying for a service to meet someone, which sounds a lot like prostitution. Why should I spend my hard-earned dollars on a dating site, to only be let down? I know eHarmony get results, or so they tell us on their ads, but what about the people who don’t meet anyone, or their perfect match is on the other side of the state. Yet, Match.com says you’ll meet someone six months guaranteed, or your next six months is free. Thanks match.com, I know can sleep knowing if I don’t meet someone in six months you’re going to give me a return on my investment. As if, I don’t have enough to worry about trying to meet someone online. I however meet someone in the first week, and got off cause again, I don’t believe in paying to get someone to date me. After last night I have made a choice to go back to the old fashion methods, I want to meet someone through friends; I want to go to parents without partner dance. That way I at least know what I’m getting from the start.

Well there it is, my take on online dating, you can try it if you’re so inclined, heck, some of you may have, and it worked. Either way it is an age-old dilemma for all of us single folks, to pay or not to pay to get a date that is the question of the 21^st century.
