PAROLED OFFENDERS MUST GO TO HALLOWEEN MEETINGS

Trick or Treating should be a happy time for our kids and parents not having to worry about sex offenders who live in the neighborhood. Maybe you know who they are, maybe not. Well the State of Indiana has taken a step forward to keep these people away from your children at least during the trick or treating hours. It is called Operation Safe Halloween where it is mandatory for most paroled sex offenders MUST attend the Halloween meeting. If they don't they could have their parole revoked. This has been going in Indianapolis since 2004 but this year it has been expanded throughout the whole state. Good idea but that doesn't mean that some creeps are still out there who have not been caught and are not on parole. Keep our kids safe. GO WITH THEM AND CHECK WHAT IS IN THEIR TRICK OR TREAT BAG. To all of the little one's, have a good time and be safe.

PRIMETIME TV - FALL 2008

TV TV TV. I think that for many American families this is a very large past time that people can't break away from and I think that the tv networks and advertisers know this. There is big money involved in this and they are counting on you to listen about and buy their products. That is why the networks keep pushing the upcoming fall programs. I hate when I am watching a program and really get into it then I am distracted by some advertising of a program coming on next week or next month. Why then do they have tv guides in the Sunday papers or on your cable network. I already know what programs I am going to watch. My favorite being CSI. I am fascinated at how crimes are solved and I find the acting to be very good. I do watch other programs but not like I do CSI. Seeing that I do not have one of those fancy recording pieces on my cable I can't record other programs while watching one, so I am stuck watching only one at a time.

SUPPORT YOUR CANDIDATE - DRINK A BEER

Brilliant idea from a California brewery. Half Moon Bay Brewery Company on the Northern California coast is selling an ale. One says Obama and the other McCain. In this mock election held by the brewery, ale sold at the brewery encourages voters to vote early and vote ofter. At the brewery Obama and McCain figures are on separate tap handles. The ales are the same with one being lighter in content and the other is aged a long time. They are the same with one being the beer that the company normally produces only now it has a different label.
So far the Obama ale is outselling the McCain ale. Obama 6,170 bottles to McCain's 1,729. As well as selling pints at the brewery they are also distributing bottles to stores. So if you are undecided drink both until you get drunk and don't care who wins.
If you are curious about the "alection" as they call it, log onto http://hmbbrewingco.com/beer/alection.php to follow the alection results.

THE 'PROCEDURE''

Yes my friends today I had a procedure, one that invades the inner most being of an individual.
It all started yesterday about 5:00 pm when I had to drink a cleansing liquid called MoviPrep. Prior to that time I could only drink clear fluids and jello. Let me interject something here. Why do I have to pay $48.00 and my insurance company pay only $9.00 for something that makes me do the fifty yard dash to a shiny white bowl eight or nine time within a four hour period and then drink the same amount at 6:00 a.m. and do the same thing while trying to take a shower and get ready to go to the hospital at 10:00 to have someone invade my backside at 11:00. I should tell you that the amount of liquid comes to 48 ounces two times for a total of 96 ounces. My daughter Julie drove me to the hospital and I can tell you it is a scary feeling to be on your way and pray you don't have the feeling that you have to cleanse yourself further. Upon arriving at the hospital there are the usual 110 questions that I was asked the last time I was in the hospital. Then comes the insertion of the IV, fortunately this nurse was able to insert it on the first try, not like the last time when they could not find a vein. After this it was time to try and relax until they came to get me and deliver me to the "Procedure Room". My blood pressure was 212/189 so the lovely ladies there said try and relax we need to get your bp down. I did and it did come down to 181/164. The ladies injected something into my IV and as she did so said to me "good night". I was semi-awake for the procedure which didn't last long at all, then I heard the doctor say "done". He was happy with what he saw. So if he's happy I'm happy. Now I can enjoy my day.

ZENNI OPITICAL FOR YOUR GLASSES

Did you know that you should get your eyes checked once a year? This is extremely important if you are a diabetic. When you think about getting them checked all you can think of is how much is going to cost and can I afford it. Well then let me ask you a question. What brings down the cost of any item? Answer is cutting out the middleman. I have found just the place that does that and you can visit them at http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php . Zenni Optical is the name and you can order any type of eyeglasses you need from a large selection of frames and prices. Single vision eyeglasses start as low as $8.00. All glasses include FREE UV protection, anti scratch coating and lens edge polishing and beveling. By checking the website you can also see the different upgrades available to you and their cost to you. Ordering is easy, just follow the steps to get the Zenni Optical glasses you want at the price you want. Need Bi-Focal glasses? These start as low as $25.00. So do yourself and your eyes a favor. Get your eyes checked once a year and if you need eyeglasses get them on line from Zenni Optical. Remember there is no middleman because they manufacture their own glasses just for you.
For further information about Zenni Optical check out the Chicago Tribune article about them at http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/yourmoney/chi-ym-spending-0722jul22,0,2050256.story .

CAMPING SEASON HAS ENDED

As I said, camping season has ended. No more golf cart rides, campfires, roasting marshmallows and seeing friends and whatever else comes with camping. Yesterday they turned off the water in the park but left it on for the weekend which was just beautiful. I took this weekend to put away all of the decorations that I had outside and covered up the golf cart which I store on the patio. It was a sad day because the season doesn't start until April 15th of next year. So all there is to look forward to is cold weather, ice and snow. All us campers are praying that this goes by fast. Oh well I guess we have to take the good with the bad. It will be good to see my friends next year at the old Yogi Bear Camp Resort in Plymouth, Indiana. Have a good winter y'all.
