Random Tid Bits

     Taking iron supplement tablets is about the equivalent of licking a rust covered pipe.  It does not matter how quickly they are swallowed, they will still leave a hint of rust.

     According to a recent survey, most college and high school students in this country, the USA, cannot pass a general test on the history of the United States.  That's pretty sad.  Let's teach it all, the good and the bad, people learn from mistakes.

     The head of the Secret Service put in her resignation.  My immediate thought on that was, "Duh, you didn't see that coming?" It takes approximately six months to book a tour of the White House and some guy scales the fence and is inside in a matter of minutes.........yep, think you might be better suited at a job somewhere else.  Maybe you could talk to the resigning AG.  He picked up a job with a $77 million paycheck......poor guy.

     A prison warden, who had worked for the DOC for some 30 years, lost her job because her roommate, 26 years her junior, was a convicted sex offender and was still accessing nasty stuff...on a computer......in her home............Really?

     My ancestors herald from many countries.  I was born in this country.  That makes me an American.  Not an Irish/American, not an English/American, not a German/American, not an Asian/American,  not an African/American.....just an American.  So who keeps this race thing up in arms?

     Since people have decided not to verbally speak to each other any more and would rather use texting, or some form of social media to communicate, they have forgotten something of vast importance.  Other people will read what you post or see the naked selfie you thought was a wise idea.  I really don't think some of the things people put out there fall under the heading of 'freedom of speech'.  Most of our mothers taught us that at an early age.  Some things are better left unsaid, especially if you wouldn't say it to the other person's face.  And certainly, there are some things better left unseen.

     If you do choose to be a complete idiot and get caught in the cross hairs of controversy, at least own up to the mistake, or plead your case.  Just don't make excuses.
