╬My
Rambling Thoughts╬
Yet another very windy
day. Not that exciting to be outside. After noon I could finally open windows
and doors. Nice.
Nice to see Gabby Giffords
christen a new ship named after her. She is the AZ Representative who was shot
by a crazy man at a meet and greet here in AZ. She does amazing things for gun
safety laws. I saw an interesting documentary about the difference between ‘gun
safety’ and ‘gun control’. Did not realize that every other day a child is
accidently killed by a gun in the US. I got a .22 from my grandfather when I
was 12 or 13. I was taught all the safety stuff and will always remember the
target practice my dad, grandfather, and I did. The gun was prominently displayed
in our ‘game room’…a room with couches, a TV, and a few tables for playing
games. Not a room for game trophies. I still don’t know where my dad kept the
bolt for that gun or where the bullets were kept. I joined Boy Scouts after Cub
Scouts and took several fire arm courses through those years. I learned to
respect guns. Sad that so many did not and still do not have that opportunity.
Gun safety is very important.

╬Yep,
It Really Happened╬
*------------- Porn
Star Gone Wild -------------*
A porn actress is facing a domestic battery charge after allegedly punching her
boyfriend in the face during a post-coital quarrel. According to investigators,
Lauren Kaye Scott struck the victim Saturday in his Pinellas Park home. The man
suffered a "swollen lip with a cut" during the confrontation, a
police officer stated. As detailed in an arrest affidavit, the 23-year-old
Scott "would not get off the phone" after having sex with her
boyfriend, who asked Scott to leave the residence. Scott, cops say, "became
upset" and struck her boyfriend of six months in the face. Scott was
arrested on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge and booked into the county
jail. As noted on the arrest affidavit, Scott identified her employer as
"porn industry." She has stared in such videos as 'Slut Puppies 9,'
'Anal Buffet 10,' and 'Milk Maids.' In a handwritten motion Scott asked a judge
for permission to travel to Los Angeles, where she reported that she lives with
her husband, who is probably glad his wife has a boyfriend to take her
aggression out on.

╬Somewhat
Useless Information╬
In an average lifetime,
people spend approximately 2,100 days (almost 6 years) dreaming. Everyone
dreams every night, though some of us can't remember our dreams.
***
Developmental psychologists say that toddlers never dream about themselves.
Children are not believed to appear in their own dreams until a developmental
stage that occurs when they are three or four years old and realize they are
separate from other people.
***
What is the purpose of dreams? Some experts speculate that the primitive part
of the brain is overloaded during the day and cannot process all of our
experiences. Dreaming gives us a way to sort through our memories and eliminate
the ones that aren't useful for our growth.

Walmart
Good news for Walmart
employees who also serve in the U.S. military! The retail giant recently
announced that its part- and full-time workers who must leave their jobs to
serve on a voluntary or involuntary basis will not receive a pay cut. If a
military salary is less than what an employee made at Walmart, the company will
cover the difference. Not bad for a company known for rolling back prices!

Disclaimer: All opinions are mine…feel free to agree or disagree.
All ‘data’ info is from the internet sites and is usually checked with
at least one other source, but I have learned that every site contains mistakes
and sadly once the information is out there, many sites simply copy it and is
therefore difficult to verify. Also for events occurring before the Gregorian
calendar was adopted [1582] the dates may not be totally accurate.
