Whatta"fucking"joke *****Housing bail out my ass*****

If you bought a house and cannot afford it, then that is your own fucking problem. This is typical america, overspend and the government will find some way to bail you out. Well you know what, I bought a house that my wife and I can afford even if one of us is laid off, if you didn't then that is your own fucking problem. I am tired of seeing all these people claiming bankruptcy and crying because they cannot pay their bills, live beyond your means and this is what happens, you made the mess, now you have to deal with it. I for one will be pissed of if for some reason all these people get free passes. Why don't the mortgage companies fix the mess they helped create and bail these people out by giving the intrest rates that they can afford. I haven't seen the mortgage companies coming out with 2% or 3% refi's for these people, where is this option??? NO FUCKING WAY will I stand for or support any government official that wants to support this. It's time to start holding people accountable for their actions.

Just thought this was pretty funny

Mom sprays child at car wash with 1200 PSI wash hose

Now this is FUCKED UP, I actually got angry and damn near cracked a tear watching that mom stand there blasting her child with the car wash sprayer. I mean come on, how fucked up do you have to be to do something like that to your child??? I hope when they do catch her they take her and her friend and let them see what that felt like. I don't know what that child could have done to have deserved that. Anyone that doesn't know what that feels like needs to go to one of those car washes and just stick you hand in front of one of those sprayers, then imagine that on your face. Just to let you know I ran my hand under 1500 PSI once and it broke the skin on my hand, needless to say I will never do that again. That poor kid, if mom does that in public, imagine what kind of abuse that kid gets at home. I'm not a perfect parent, but I will never subject my kid to that kind of abuse. I'm going to go hug my child now, why don't you go hug yours.

Well now that I have that off my chest

What in the hell is going on in this country???? Everyone is all of a sudden mad at people they have never met. What is the deal with people going to public places unloading guns on perfectly innocent people? I just don't get it anymore, what is it your life sucks so your going to make everyones life around you suck? These are mom's, dad's, brothers and sisters that you are killing. Just because your life means nothing anymore doesn't give you the right to go take someone else's. I just hate seeing this and it is apparently becoming more and more popular by the day. You know what? If your life sucks either get help or go find a little corner and put a gun to YOUR head and pull the trigger, but don't go around needlessly killing. I just hate to see all the pain these people cause, is that what these people want? I guess. I mean if you want to end it all, get a hold of the government and let them issue you a M-16 and go after the Taliban or something like that. I mean maybe you could do this country some good before you go. Just think about it OK.........

"No one likes AMERICANS"

This was quoted coming form Iran's president today, well you know what Ahmadinejad FUCK YOU!!!!! I see lots of people coming to this country to get away from yours, why is this??? You don't see tons of people flocking to Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, Venezuela and so on. I am tired of these people talking about the american people in whole. Same thing goes for Chavez down there in Venezuela, FUCK YOU TOO!!!! I wish we would pull the plug on helping all these other countries and let them see what being an asshole is all about. When there is a crisis in the world, everyone expects us the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to step up and help, but once all the hard work is done, we are now there trying to push our beliefs on that specific country. Why don't some of these other countries step up to the plate??? It's awful nice to sit on the sidelines and throw punches. Don't worry FRANCE we haven't forgotten about you bunch of PUSSIES!!!! You know what, you don't like us, and we don't like you. In the end we will see what your stupid religious beliefs get you. NOTHING. To all those who don't like americans, GET THE FUCK OUT.

Timberrrrrrrrrr

 
 
 
 

Like my new picture

Big isn't it? You know what I love that picture. I really need to try and write more, but you know how it is with a 2 year old.
Anyhoo it is the 4th and it is starting to look like we are going to get rained out on the whole fireworks thing tonight. Faye, Alex and I went to a little prade this morning (noon) over in Worthington, not the best prade, but it was cute, almost like a giant neighborhood party. We are currently trying to get Alex to nap so in case the fireworks do go off tonight she will be awake, but so far no luck she is up there just a jabbing away.
Well we hope everyone is having a good 4th of July and I will try and get some pictures on here real soon. Todd>>>>

New shed/Lattice on deck

Now I just need to get the stairs finished, anyone want to come help me???

WTF is going on in this world???

I can only hope that anyone that says it is their right to own a gun knows someone down there in Virginia that was shot by that maniac, maybe even their son or daughter. What is with people going out and shooting up crowds of people. I am personally sick and fu%$ing tired of this shit. I understand it is your right to bear arms, but what about this, was it this persons right to bear arms? Had enough, get rid of the guns or make it damn near impossible for the wrong people to get one. The only people that should have guns are law enforcement. But hell if we got rid of the guns they wouldn't really need to carry them would they.

I like my rights, and I like my freedom, but enough is enough people. Changes have to be made.

Trailer trash ho's

Would have anyone cared if it would have been a bunch of white girls and Imus called them a bunch of "trailer trash ho's" I don't think that would have gotten the slightest peep. I feel sorry for anyone that cares what Imus called them girls, he said he was sorry, he made a mistake. Who's to say they aren't nappy headed ho's. Why don't we have a presidential commission to investigate, maybe Imus has an inside track. We are out of control, and the media is responsible for it. I guess freedom of speech is only for the politically correct. If a minority would have called a bunch of girls trailer trash ho's would he/she be expected to step down????

Who my baby daddy??

Who gives a shit??? Why does anyone care who the fathered a child with that wacko. It was pretty apperant that she was a druggie, don't make me go into all the different men that she was sleeping with. My God who really gives a shit, we have so many other problems in this world without having to see that garbage on television every day. Shame on us all for really caring who the father is. I for one don't.

Since when.....

All right now, I see that Imus the radio talk show host has made some kind of racial slur and now everyone is in a big huge up roar about it. I see that he is now apoligizing to Rev. Al Sharpton, here is my question, when did it become Sharpton and Jesse Jackson that gets an explanation or apology? Exactly when did these two become the speakers for blacks everywhere? I don't really care that much for Imus either way, I just want to know what it is that this guy needs to do, he has already apoligized for his statement, we have all said something that we have regretted in our lives, I'm just kind of curious why this guy is getting tied to the stake and burned. What sorry doesn't cut it anymore? Get over yourself there Al, I'm sure your perfect. I'm going to be the one to start the all white something, I'm tired of all this shit. I'm not a racist, but I am really getting tired of everytime someone does something to the black community I see either Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton on television demanding an apology. EMPOWER YOUR OWN.

What exactly is it that makes different races think that they are entitled to anything, I saw on the TV the other day that all the mexicans were protesting out in california for immigration rights. Well exactly who is it that is protesting here, the illegal immigrants? If it is then this will show exactly what is wrong with this country, we should go there arrest them all and throw their asses back across the border. If you don't belong in this country you have no rights to anything but deportation.

I have never when into other countries and demanded anything, and lord know that I have been to quite a few. I didn't march into Greece and expect them to cater to me, I went there and respected their laws, their culture and the people. I was an american living in their country and I respected that, I have nothing but respect for the Greek people, they are great people, I would have never expected them to change their laws just so I could live there. That is what makes me different and most people, we respect other countries laws.

Let's see, I have been to Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany, England, Ireland, China, Jordan, Oman, Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, and Canada and never once did I enter their countires illegally and expect them to accept me with open arms. I didn't expect them to change their laws just so I could live their. I respect their laws and I am sorry if things here in America are better, but if you don't belong leave, go somewhere else stop putting your burdens on us, the American people.

Rumsfeld resigning

Theres a fucking surprise, what in the hell took so long. Oh I get it the american people spoke yesterday by getting rid of all the republicans or at least a good bit of them. Rumsfeld your an idiot. Goodriddance. Then here is another great surprise that came out today "President Bush is taking responsiblity for the republicans losing control of the house" well gee whiz George are we surprised, you have a 23% approval rating in some states. The government will always be fucked up, but damn Georgie has it really screwed up right now. GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! We cannot and will not ever win this war.

DRIVING 101

You know what? I don't get to write here much, but when I do I normally think that it is pretty funny. Obviously no one else does because no one ever says anything good or bad. Well normally I have tons to say, but by the time I sit down to write about it I have forgotten what I was going to write about. OLD AGE???

I have deceided that I am going to leave some what should be common driving tips, but the way morons drive anymore I guess their not so common.

1. Freeway driving: Normally slower traffic is supposed to stay to the right, regardless what the speed limit is, if there is someone behind you that wants to pass, let them pass. That means get over into the right hand lane. I'm sure most of us have seen those little signs on the freeway that say slower traffic stay to the right, well this isn't a suggestion, get the f*$# out of the way. Now this doesn't mean that I am the speed freak that you are thinking, when I am in the left lane, I make my pass and get back over to the right especially if it is a 4 lane highway (2 lanes in each direction) I'm just amazed at the amount of people that think the left lane is for cruising. There is a reason people get road rage, that is because people won't get out of other peoples way.

2 Freeway driving: Entrance ramps on freeways (expressways, parkways we call them freeways in Ohio) are for getting up to speed by the time you begin to merge with traffic. There is nothing better than seeing someone getting on the freeway right in front of you doing 35 MPH and you are doing 65. This person is a moron and should have their license revoked for being too stupid to know how to get up to speed. Yes you moron it is the pedal on the right hand side, push it to the floor if you have to, just be up to speed or at least within 5 MPH by the time you are ready to merge with traffic.
2a. Entrance ramps and merging with freeway traffic, you know this really has to do with getting up to speed and being ready to merge with traffic on the freeway, merge as soon as possible, just because you come to the end of the merge doesn't mean that everyone should slam on their brakes and let you merge in. At the same time for those idiots that don't seem to understand that this car needs to get into traffic, slow up a little and let them in, courtesy will get you a long way in my book. I love merging on a freeway when 3 cars get bumper to bumper just to keep you from getting in line, thanks assholes. Why is everyone in such a hurry, ever wonder how many people have been killed in car accidents just because they were in such a hurry. Let the people on the freeway moron especially if they are up to speed or get in the next lane, this isn't a NASCAR race, there is no prize at the finish line.

What in the world is going on in the WORLD????

Everyday I continue to question some of the choices people make in this world. YES!!!! I understand that everyone has a choice, but I just read that a school district in I think it was Massachusetts is banning games like tag and flag football for fear of the kids attending that school getting hurt and their parents suing the school.
Are we going to have all our children going to school in the next five years in bubbles? I just don’t get it anymore. People are using personal injury as their personal ATM. I thought schools carried insurance for kids that get hurt. Kids are going to get hurt, it is a known fact. Now if it is neglect then that is one thing, but if it is just a bunch of kids running around having fun, that’s another.
Now if a school allows a child to play on playground equipment they know is unsafe, that is neglect, but if a kid falls off a piece of playground equipment that is properly maintained, then that is an accident and no court in the world should hear the case. But yet we have these ambulance chasers that encourage people to sue, and they do and that is what is causing our insurance rates to skyrocket.
No wonder my workplace can no longer afford to pay health costs, it is people like Johnny’s mom and dad that are suing the school system because Johnny fell down and scraped his knee or heaven forbid broke his arm. I’M SURE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
Come on people stand up against this crap and start holding the correct people accountable. We are starting to live in a bubble and it’s just not healthy.

Now wait just a second

Now this survivor thing is getting blown way out of proportion here. Since they made a group of whites only on the show everyone is losing their minds. No one has any complaints about the million man march, BET (black entertainment television), the hispanic channel that is here in Columbus. If there was just a black, asian, and hispanic group on that show with no all "white" team you wouldn't hear anyone bitching, but due to it being all "white" you have every group that is against this coming unglued. I see GM has already pulled their sponsorship from the show, and all these people are blaming Mark Burnett for doing this just for ratings. You know what there is nothing wrong with what he is doing, will it prove that whites are better than all the other races (I don't think so) Will it show how the different races act when they are around their own race (sure). People just need to get over themselves, if people would stop bitching about race, eventually it will for the most part go away. It's people like these that piss me off. I'm all for the WET channel (white entertaiment television) United Whitey College Fund and so on. I'm tired of these double standards) What's good for one isn't good for the other. Let's see each race fund their own college fund and see whose gets full first. I'm tired of people wanting handouts and I'm tired of hearing people bitching about their race. Give it up I had nothing to do with what happened 50 years ago. Todd>>>>

Presidential Poll

President Bush's unpopularity -- due largely to the war in Iraq -- seems likely to affect GOP candidates in the November elections, according to a new CNN poll. Fifty-five percent of 1,004 Americans surveyed said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who has supported Bush policies.


No shit, thanks for the udate. The people who wrote this are probably the same assholes that voted for him. It doesn't take rocket scientist to figure out that it is time for a change. I would like to meet the 45% of people that would support a candidate who has supported Bush policies. I bet they are rich with some of that oil money, or they don't have friends or family serving their country over in IRAQ.

Why is gas all of a sudden $2.25

This just goes to show exactly how the government is fu@#$%^ us in the ass. Why was gas $0.75 more a gallon a month ago? What no storm, no new war and so on to blame it on. Wait, the presidential elections are coming here in the next couple of years. Maybe it is George W. that is fu@#$%^ us in the ass and now he is all done and has pulled out and is giving us a breather before the next president gets elected. Gotta make sure that he looks good before he gets out of office, like the republicans are the reason gas prices have came down. Republicans are the reason gas prices went up, we are fighting an unwinnable war. I get the feeling that I am paying for this war by filling up my truck at the gas pumps, we have to pay for it some how don't we? Think you people voted that clown back into office, not to mention that he drug that other dumb motherfu@ker Donald Rumsfield with him. What the hell is wrong with the president that he is so determined to help another country when there is so much wrong with the one that voted him into office. Fu@# them people over there, they hate us anyhow. If we are going to rebuild their country after blowing it up then we should be paying $0.50 at the pumps. HUMVEE's for everyone. Why does everyone say this, but yet our congress/president doesn't listen.

Here recently the president made a comment from down in New Orleans about why we are in Iraq, he said something to the effect of we have our troops there because of the 3,000 people that died on September 11, 2001 well I guess the president hasn't been paying attention to the death toll over there in Iraq, I think we just surpassed the number that died on 9/11. Gee I guess it was OK for those 3,000 troops to die in Iraq, but it wasn't OK for the 3,000 that died on 9/11 here on American soil. So now we have a death toll of 6,000 instead of 3,000. You cannot win a war against terrorist, I have been there, I have read the books. What are we going to do lose 10,000 american troops so we can stop a few thousand terrorists. If the Iraqi people want to be free of terrorist let them get rid of them. If they enjoy that kind of life, let them stay there. Time to start taking care of our own.

I was in the military and I understand that tough decisions are being made, well what are these fine young men and women dying for???? So a bunch of uneducated people that had better lives before we got there can blow us up. GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW!!!!!

Just need to add some stairs

Religion is going to kill us all

The world is full of religious fanatics and I for one belive that religion will eventually kill us all. Everyone thinks that they are right and not a single one of them can prove it, but they are all willing to die for it. Let me try and be nice here because I have some really choice words for you all. YOU ARE WRONG!!! Innocent people are dying because of something you read in a book, why can't you just read your silly little book and hope and pray that it is real in the end?? I'm not saying that I don't hope and pray myself, but I keep it to myself. If I don't believe that is my business, and if I do believe that is my business also. I'm tired of hearing about this holy war, I hope you all die SOON, so the rest of us can get on with our lives.



IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better photos

Jimbo, how we lookin??

This is my 4th attempt to post this, so I'm not writing much. Just wanted to say thanks to my father-in-law Jim for coming down this past week and helping me put this deck together. Through all the heat (90+ degree days, rain, power outages) we accomplished one hell of a good looking deck. I know that it isn't quite 100%, but that really isn't our fault, we are about 12 decking boards short and that is due to the lumber yard bringing us some real garbage. Well I took care of that today hopefully, I went and replaced those boards and I am now just waiting for my brother to come and help me put them in. Just wanted to say thanks Jim. Todd>>>>

Working on the deck

Today we boiled in the sun again, I am burnt, not fun. As you can see the rest of the lumber was delivered, Jim, my dad, and I had to move it all from the driveway to the backyard in the heat, not fun. For those of you that don't know Jim is the guy in the picture below, my father-in-law, and he is responsible for the overall deck, making sure that I am putting it together correctly, we have had to adjust a couple of things, but we are finally in the framing stages as you can see by the pictures below. Tomorrow has a good chance of thundershowers (great!!!!) not looking forward to the muddy mess, we just dried out from yesterdays showers. Well there is todays update, hopefully I will be in shape to write. Todd>>>>
