DENNIS IS GONE.

For some reason I got interested in the Apprentice. I don't know if you have been watching it this year but one of the Celebrity Apprentice's is the wacky basketball player Dennis Rodman.
The man thinks he is there to be just a fixture. Not only does he look strange with all of the piercings and tattoo's, he adds nothing to the team.
Last night each team was assigned the task of running a hotel. Cleaning rooms, checking in guests, delivering room service, making dinner reservations, getting tickets for shows and so on. In essence they had to do everything to make the guests as happy as possible because each team would be judged by these guests.
Dennis was in charge of the men's team. What a disaster. The man has a drinking problem and that really affected is thinking skills, if he has any. He kept making a jerk of himself in front of the guests and half way through the show he says "I'm out of here" and leaves. He was the boss, the leader, and he leaves. He hasn't changed. Remember when he played basketball how he would disappear for days at a time, well this is what he did last nite.
To say the least the girls team won and the highlight of the night is when Donald Trump fired Dennis Rodman. Donald better think twice before he asks another loose canon like Rodman to be on the show. Maybe there is some logic to Donald's thoughts and he knows people like Dennis will increase ratings.
I thought Joan Rivers would be a dud on the show but she has turned out to be one of my favorites along with Clint Black in his cowboy hat. I have other favorites but won't go into that now.

SurfRecon ERT - WHAT IS IT?

How many computers do you have in your work place? No matter how many you have there is always the opportunity for someone to bring up things that you as an employer do no want in your workplace. People sending e-mails back and forth, jokes, stories and the big no no being pornography. The first two can bring a slowdown to productivity but the latter, pornography, can open a new can of worms. All someone has to do is walk by and see someone looking at that stuff and bingo, LAWSUIT. As an employer you don't have to put up with that.
There is a company that can help you with this problem, if you have it, and that company can be found at http://www.surfrecon.com/. The company name is SurfRecon ERT. ERT meaning Emergency Response Tool.

IF I EVER WENT TO JAIL!!!!!

If I ever went to jail I would love to go to Texas and the Montague County jail. The news article said it was Animal House meets Mayberry. It seems that for months or longer the inmates ran the place which was located across the street from the courthouse. The inmates were having sex with their jailer girlfriends, taking drugs, sitting in recliners and talking on cell phones that were brought in by friends or supplied by guards. Surveillance cameras were disabled and weapons were made out of nails.
Oh yes, there was gossip be whispered around town about the goings on at the jail but town fold just said that they were just rumors circulating in a small town.
Last month a Texas grand jury returned a 100 count indictment against the former sheriff and 16 other persons and that is when the inmates-gone-wild scandal broke wide open.
The news article said Bill Keating, sheriff from 2004 until this last December was charged with official oppression and having sex with female inmates.
Nine guards - seven women and two men - were charged with various offenses involving sex or drugs. Four inmates were also charged.
See Bush gets back and all hell breaks loose.

ATE AT OLD CHICAGO LAST NIGHT.

Last night my son's family and I thought we would try this new restaurant in Merrillville, IN called Old Chicago. They do the Italian thing with pizza, pasta, sandwich's and so forth. We had the pizza which everyone agreed was great. If you ever go be sure to order the Chicago style crust. Good stuff. Everything was good and filling.
The only bad side to the place was the service. BAD. From the time we sat down it was about ten minutes for a waitress to take our drink order. In all it was almost 20minutes before we gave our food order. We ordered pizza so I knew it would take at least a half hour. This was OK. When the pizza came I asked for silverware and the young man said he would get it right away. When the waitress stopped by to see how things were going several minutes later she finally got the utensils. She herself was taking care of at least 6 tables or more. I think they should hire more staff to satisfy their customers.
Yes, I will probably go back because the pizza was good as well as the atmosphere with pictures of Chicago landmarks, the old Richard Daly and other things of interest.

WHAT RECESSION.

Everybody keeps talking about the recession. What recession. If you listen to the politicians they will scare the hell out of you. But as in their campaign speeches they lie and lie. I believe that the figures that are put in front of them are wrong. If companies and stores are not making a billion dollars a week, we are in a recession.

Being a nice day I took my granddaughter out and we went to Alsip Nursery. The place was packed and people were buying. I think this place is high priced but shopping carts all had items in them, not cheap items either. On my way there I took note of the shopping mall and restaurant parking lots and they were full and people were walking to their cars carrying bags. So people are spending money and stores are making money. While I was out I bought gas, bought items at the store and ate as were everyone else I came across. Now if that is not spending money what is? There was so much traffic out there that you would think it was rush hour during a work week.

So the our faithful politicians who are looking out for us, shut your mouth's and quit crying wolf and look out for us a little better.

HOW LONG IS AN HOUR TO A CHILD?

NEWS ITEM: Indianapolis Indiana a 14 month old little girl died from being beaten by her mothers (MACHO MAN)18 year old boyfriend for more than an hour with a belt. The mother, Rachel Goodman, who is pregnant again said she tried to stop him but was injured. Hey Rachel did you ever hear of a phone to call 911 or how about calling outside for help to a neighbor, oh I forgot you were injured. What do you think should be done to Tayaun Chism is he is convicted? Me personally think he should be set loose in a bike bar with a note on him saying I KILLED A 14 MONTH OLD GIRL. Whatever the outcome is I don't think it will be enough. I thought God protects little children.

WHAT OF SPRING BREAKS - SHOULD THERE BE MORE CONTROL

It's that time of year again when the young and crazy college kids make their way to the famous beaches. Why do they go there. Drink, sex, to see what they can get away with. How many will get hurt or die this year as in the past years. Do these people act like this all year. Do they act like this at school or wherever they come from?
Is there be such a thing as Spring Break responsibly. You know it's not going to stop, but what if anything can be done to make it more responsible.

THANKS FOR THE COMMENT DECEMBER SUN

I know what you mean about the seasons. My daughter lives in Texas too and can't get used to the no snow or real cold weather in your winters. With me living in the Chicago land area I really look forward to the warm weather.

FIRST SIGN OF SPRING

As I went out for the paper this morning I found it to be a pretty nice day. It's supposed to in the upper 40's today and mid 60's tomorrow then back into the mid 30's on Wednesday. Anyway I got my paper and put my neighbors paper by their door as I do every morning. As I started to walk to my house I heard a familiar sound. I was the chirping of a robin. I looked around and sure enought there it was hopping around in the lawn looking for breakfast. To me this is a definite sign of spring and I glad to see it.
Just keep in mind SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.LOL

EATING IN QUIET!!!!!

Did you ever have a taste for something for a few days but never had a chance to get it. Well I did and that taste was for the Old Country Buffet. That is a favorite place for my granddaughter Delaney and me. Yesterday was the day. I said hello or high water we were going. We went around5:30 which was pretty much dinner time so it was a little crowded. That's OK because that doesn't change the taste of the food. We picked a table, got our food and sat down to eat. I don't know if you have ever been to one but the tables are set apart just enough to make a small isle to walk through which means if a person at the next table is talking loud you can hear them. Most people realize this and keep their voices down. As it be, there was a women next to us who I'm sure exceeded 400 pounds kept talking on the phone and it wasn't English. She kept getting and making calls for at least the first half hour she was there. Lady, if you came to eat, then eat. Put the phone down and don't bother those around you with your gibber jabber we don't want to hear it. My granddaughter who is outspoken at times said rather loudly "grandpa let's move to another table that lady is annoying". We didn't move but finished our meal and left.
They have banned smoking in places, why not cell phones.

SNOWBOARDING - FOR THE FUN OF IT.

Do you ski? People have been doing it for years, many, many years. It's a way of transportation and it's fun. If you like to ski then you might like to make a switch to something like a snowboard. Yes snowboard. Skiing takes skill but snowboarding takes SKILL. You have not two runners to balance on but only one board to balance yourself on and no poles. The skill involved in snowboarding is having good balance and knowing how to keep your board in tip top condition. Your rail must be in perfect condition at all times to allow you to do your twists and turns and jumps. It can be a long way down from the top of the hill if your equipment is not in condition.
I have come across the site called SNOWBOARD-MOUNTAIN. This is a place where you can buy snowboards, protective gear, accessories and anything else you will need to get into or upgrade your adventure into this extreme snow sport. You can reach them at http://www.snowboard-mountain.com/.
Tricking is the key word in this sport. Snowboard Mountain is the place to get tips and DVD's to learn snowboard tricks and anything else you want to know about snowboarding. By visiting this site you can see the many boards and various prices of the boards as well as an explanation of what each board is for. Not only is this site valuable for equipment it also tells you what sites to go to, to get additional tips on the sport.
So don't waste time, winters almost over, visit http://www.snowboard-mountain.com/ and get started gliding through that fluffy white power called snow and join the fun.
