Scam

August 5, 2006 at 11:59 am (Scams)

I received a notice in the mail a few days ago from someplace at 2400 W. Pioneer Pkwy. #210 Arlington, TX 76013 stating that I had received a guaranteed prize of a New Mercedes, BMW or Porsche, etc, etc. Well I threw it away because I hadn’t signed up for anything to win anything so pretty much figured it was junk mail. So yesterday I received in the mail a “Western Express” letter stating it was my final notice to claim my prize. In order to keep from continually receiving this “junk mail” I called them and asked what this was about. The girl on the phone told me that I would need to go to Lake Palestine and take a 90 minute tour of some property. (exactly what I figured it was). I explained to her that I had previously done one of the “tours” and received nothing. I no longer than got that out of my mouth and she hung up on me. So please, if you get one of these scams in the mail, don’t even bother. They are rude, you don’t get anything from them but a long, boring 3 hour tour and walk away with nothing anyway. But the hassle from them to constantly try and talk you into buying a piece of property that is outrageously priced to begin with. I’m thinking if I want to live on Lake Palestine, I can pretty much make that trip myself and look around to see what might interest me without having some place send me some bogus letter trying to endice me to come put up with their boring chit chat.

Oh My Gosh Mel Gibson

August 3, 2006 at 9:05 pm (Random Rantings)

Ok, now what is up with Mel Gibson? For years, Mel has been this quite “good guy” and no one heard anything bad about him. He gets drunk and goes on and on about Jews???? Poor Mel, what was he thinking? He obviously wasn’t thinking straight, because I know Mel wouldn’t say anything derogatory like that on a normal day? Would he?? Surely, not if he would have been thinking straight and known it would have been splashed all over the news for everyone to hear about. Now we will have to sit back and wait to see what damage this causes to his career. I, for one, hope it doesn’t hurt him professionally. He is a great director and an awesome actor. This would be a great injustice for everyone to hold this against him. We can only hope this; as other things in Hollywood usually does, just passes and people will forgive him for what he said. It would be unrealistic to say that I hoped everyone forgets, because they won’t. But we all have said stupid things after a drink or two. Haven’t we? Please don’t misinterpret the fact that I think what Mel did was right, because he was very wrong to condemn Jews for what is wrong in this world.

What is up with America?

July 29, 2006 at 5:43 pm (American Politics)

Let me just start off by saying that as American’s we are our own worst enemy. I have such a time trying to come to terms with all the immigrants that America lets into this country and why we do it? I’m not sure I see a good reason for it. Before long America will not be America anymore. It is already filled with so many immigrants that cannot speak our language and expect us to learn theres to communicate with them. I’m an American and should not have to learn another language in my own country to communicate with immigrants that come here. I feel they should learn to speak English within 6 months of arriving here or be required to leave this country. We let practically anyone come to America and require nothing from them. Sometimes I think it is harder on “Americans” to live in the United States anymore than it is on immigrants.
