We're all at Fault, Even Me

I was at the Lowe's Plaza today (March 6, 2015). As I started to pull out of my parking spot I witnessed a very elderly lady fall on the sidewalk outside of the Dollar Tree. I was already at the stop sign not far from where I saw this poor woman fall so I put the car in park and took off running to help her. She told me that she tripped on a shopping cart and pointed to three carts sitting on the walkway next to the building and the one that caused her fall had no front wheels on it. Next thing I know some selfish jerk pulled up behind my empty car and honked his horn for me to get out of his way. He must have been someone really important because he couldn't be bothered to get off his fat ass and come help me. Instead, he just looked right at us and drove off in a huff without an ounce of compassion or empathy.
This was an accident that did not have to happen but it did because of some thoughtless, lazy jerk who couldn't be bothered to walk the carts six feet back into the store and put it away where it could not do any damage or hurt anyone. Someone could have pushed the carts off to the side and out of the way but no one did, not even me. People just walked around them, including me, assuming it was someone else's problem. That really bothers me. I wish I had been thinking straighter than I was. All I thought about when I saw those carts was how fed up I am with inconsiderate people who are too lazy to take responsibility for putting their shopping carts where they belong. Now that I am not so wiped out I feel ashamed of myself for not taking action to prevent this accident.
This woman was in her nineties and very frail. She was injured in the fall and she was in shock. She could not get up off the sidewalk on her own. As hard as I tried to help her up I couldn't do it alone. Another thing that really bothered me was the group of young girls that just stood there watching and doing nothing. I had to call them over to help me get this poor woman back on her feet and into her car. I had to order one of them to go get the store manager to make sure this was reported in case something happened later that would put this sweet little old lady in the hospital. I don't understand people these days. I really don't.

What the Hell Is Happening Here?

Image
A little history before I get to the point. I'm the analytical type. I question everything and believe nothing until I find the evidence/ proof that makes it real. An example of this would be the paranormal experiences that I have had happening to me since I was little. I have never believed in, nor have I understood the whole ghost and superstition side of life. I also never thought to question it until I got older. Maybe that's why I need to see proof before I believe. Who knows. So that being said, here's my point. I have noticed a connection between wifi devices in the house and weird things happening that weren't happening when we had solid state box TV's with no wifi, flat screens, smart technology or wireless devices. I have lived in my home for 15 years now. I've never had any creepy feelings nor did I sense ghosts or any other spiritual presence in the house. I felt safe here. We didn't have wifi at first. We only had one computer and it was har

Let me tell you a story; The Progression of a Pond

Spring dawns in the country in upstate NY. The frogs are swimming in the pond and hanging out in the grassy shores. Bugs skim the top of the water, playing in the sun without a care. With the dawn of June 2017 thousands of happy tadpoles swim near the edge of the water. Some venture out into the deeper waters but all is serene and happy. Mid June the bullfrogs invade the pond and the little frogs start to disappear. Some hide, some got eaten. July replaces June and there are 10 goldfish and 10 minnows introduced into the pond. Day after day I watch the fish grow big from eating the mosquito larvae in the pond. The birds and the bullfrogs have eaten all ten minnows and one gold fish. The remaining eight gold fish swim in a school. The site of fish eggs on a stick in the water, makes me wonder if the schooling is to protect each other or as part of their mating ritual. As I walk the perimeter of the pond I notice a large dark shadow moving in the water.

Silly Bitch

For you morons out there that think you're fooling the world with your childish mind games. Two things: 1.) You're half right. You are a fool. 2.) Anyone with a brain can see right through your pathetic behavior. As for the current Silly bitch that has been darkening my doorstep: I've been listening to your lies and watching you play your silly little mind games on me without reacting despite how annoying it was for me. Against my better judgment, I gave you the benefit of the doubt. All that did was encourage more betrayal and lies from you. I gave you 7 of my customers to help you  get started. You chased every last one of them away with your slacking off and lord only knows what else you got busted for. What did you think was going to happen? Were you hoping to hide behind my name so you could make me look bad and destroy everything I had worked so hard for?  What is so pathetic about your life that you think it's okay to betray the one person who gave y
