Not only annoying but concerning

 I have been hearing a radio commercial for a personal loan service, The people have maxed out cards and the rent is due. So with just a few clicks on your phone you can get up to $5000. Easy. Problem solved. This is concerning because I am sure people fall for this. Sure you can pay rent and some on your card but then you have to pay back the loan, at what interest rate?, still pay on the card and the rent will be due again. So you could end up paying more out than you did before.

Things I find annoying

 The way people dress to go out in public. People shopping in pjs and slippers, school employees with big holes in their sweats, retail clerks wearing sweats and holey jeans and shirts that show their stomach. And people who are a little on the big side in tight yoga pants and short tops. Glad you have the self confidence but ain't no one want to see that. And TV ads from 'charity' hospitals; I know the kids got free care and you made millions off the research you used on them but aren't they exploiting the children by using them in their begging commercials? And the aspca one, you took pictures of all those animals but then what did you do? I turn that on off. And law firms who will sue someone for whatever disease. Even if your loved one is no longer with us they will sue and you will get money even tho it was your loved one who suffered with the disease so why should you get money. Oh and you don't pay til they win the case.

Another snow and ice day

 We have not been out of the house since Friday and I am ok with it. This is the 4th full day of below freezing with snow and ice on the ground. An ice storm possible today. Other places have it worse so I can't complain. And really I would be ok with one more day of not having to drive.

My child is

 On the radio I heard someone talking about how his son came to him and said he was a pirate so dad had his eye removed, his had replaced with a hook and his leg replaced with a peg. Satire. But not funny. Then someone called in to this radio program and said how a kid in his childs school identified as a cat and there was a liter box for him. I have heard this before but I don't believe it. Now when I was little and wanted to be a cat my mom said ok go be a cat and meowed with me. The same with my kids when they wanted to pretend they were a teacher or a lion we played pretend.  But now we have idiot parents who apparently never used their imaginations and are jumping on the bandwagon and encouraging their children to actually change to something they are not. What is wrong with people. And it is not the kids who think they are something else that should be blamed it is the idiot parents and morons in society who say 'well sure, that's cut some body parts off here and add ...

social media is taking over my life

 This is from a commercial for a kid safe phone. It shows sad looking children complaining about social media taking over their lives . The parents, apparently, can do nothing but buy this phone to solve the problem. When my kids were little I watched every tv show they watched. I reminded them that they could turn it off if there was something on they didn't like. When the internet came along I saw everything they did. I turned off what wasn't ok to see and told them that they could do the same. And click out of something when I walked in unannounced? Nope. Show me what you were looking at/ No special phone. Just parenting. ,
