Yesterday Was Fun…

…NOT!

I had three legal investigations to participate in yesterday, none against me thank goodness. I can’t really go into details, at least not here but suffice it to say that it was a pain in the ass. I was able to basically get nothing finished so that leaves me with double the work this morning. Not much fun (today or yesterday) but it is unfortunately a necessary evil.

Wednesday Hero

1st Lt. Forrest P. Ewens
1st Lt. Forrest P. Ewens
26 years old from Tonasket, Washington
1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry)
June 16, 2006

The love of Megan Ewens’s life arrived at Arlington National Cemetery on July 7, 2006. His ashes inside a small wooden box, the box inside a coffin, the coffin draped with an American flag and carried on a caisson pulled by six black horses.
Lt. Forrest P. Ewens had shipped out for Afghanistan in March of that same year. His wife, being the same rank in the Army, understood the risks, telling a colonel at Fort Drum, N.Y., that if anything happened to her husband, she didn’t want to hear about it from a stranger.
On June 6, 2006 Lt. Ewens and Sgt. Ian T. Sanchez were killed when ATV struck an IED while on combat operation in Pech River Valley, Afghanistan.
A few weeks before his death, Lt. Ewens called his wife from an Afghan mountain to inform her that his unit had been subsisting on melted snow and rations and that he had been writing his impressions down in a notebook he carried.
“This was the love of her life,” Megan Ewens’s mother said. “They were so well-matched and made such a good team. We couldn’t ask for a better son-in-law.”

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Warren Jeffs Guilty

Of course we all knew it, but the jury has found cult leader Warren Jeffs guilty on two counts of being an accomplice to raping a teenage girl. Perhaps they can put this sucker somewhere where he can be ass raped with a nice red hot poker.

New Manager

I should be getting a new manager in my store today, at least I hope so since I have one of my other guys off. I will have to go in a bit early to make sure that the first store is taken care of and then I have to go in and do audits and inventories and show the new lady around. Hopefully she can help me get everything straightened out and cleaned up to where we can actually make some money out of the place…

Hi-Ho Hi-Ho…You know the rest…

I have to unfortunately start getting ready to go. I have to go in a bit early this morning as I have to take care of an early shift change at one store and then make it to the other one in time to check in the new store manager at 7AM.

The good thing is that I may make it home at a decent time this afternoon. There are several things I need to do but does that ever change? I seem to need to expand my days to about 30 hours in order to get everything finished AND sleep. Something always seems to suffer and more often than not it’s time with my kids and sleep time that get screwed.

Shopping With Coupons

With Christmas coming I have already started my shopping and one of the things I do while trying to get it done in the easiest manner possible is to also try and get the same deal. It used to be that all of the best deals were to be had online and that is the way I prefer to shop. With GoGoShopper I was able to get a JCP.com coupon with some really good deals. They also have online coupons for hundreds of other online stores as well such as PetMeds, Danskin, Gevalia, Hallmark, GoDaddy, Shoes.com and Roxi among many others.

One thing I have noticed the last couple of years is that some of the stores are saving their best deals for the folks that actually come in to their stores. I try to stay out of the stores during the holidays, preferring to do most of my shopping online but I will go out if I have to.

GoGo shopper not only has coupons for the places I listed above but they also have coupons for the major department stores as well. I have already mention JC Penney’s online store but you can get them for Target.com and WalMart.com as well.

Update on Ahmadinejad

More of an update on his pre-speech stuff. Columbia University President Lee Bollinger apparently gave a speech prior to Ahmadinejad and in the speech challenged Ahmadinejad on quite a few things. From what I have been reading at Debbie’s site (The Right Truth) Iran has a Columbia University Alumnus under arrest and maybe that’s part of why they are allowing him to speak.

I have been extremely busy and have not listened to the speech but she will be posting updates at the Right Truth through the day if you want more information. I’m sure that later today I will be posting some type of nonsense and ranting about it.

Boy Scouts in N.C. found

A troop of Boy Scouts in western North Carolina that were supposed to come home yesterday had still not returned this morning. CNN is now reporting that they have been located.

The Great Global Warming Swindle

As Acidman would say, “We’re All Gonna Die!”

I received an email the other day talking about a documentary called “The Great Global Warming Swindle”. I have watched a portion of it and have not finished yet. I was going to post about it over the weekend but ended up not having the chance but Rosemary DID and it makes more sense than anything I would write anyway, so go check out Rosemary’s Thoughts on the video.
