MSN Money central has a list of 5 stupid money fixes.  In these economic times that we all face, it’s probably a good idea that they puplished these because each of us just might consider one or all of them at some point.  Gas keeps going higher and higher, food too, then add the high forclosure rate and you have a recipe for disaster with people that are starting to see disaster up ahead.  Check out http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/ and see if you are one of many that might have considered one or more of these so called quick fixes.

With all the crazy weather this year, my hubby and I have been thinking about generators and maybe purchasing one. They come in awfully handy if the power goes out from ice storms or those terrible summer storms that have been hitting everywhere.  Besides, we have a camper too and we can use the generator to camp beside my husbands mother in the mountains too.

You really should read this article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7517043.stm.  It’s about yet another crazy man hurting another innocent child.  The saddest part of this story is that the man was the 4 year old little girls own father.  Her mother was on ‘holiday’ in Turkey.  Why?  The man had psychiatric medications in his pocket indicating he was under a doctors care for some type of mental problem and still this child’s mother thought it was more important to go on ‘holiday’ than to make sure her daughter was safe.

Children should come first PERIOD!!!  They should even come before your partner at times and especially if your partner is having some type of psychiatric problems.  Medications don’t ‘fix’ what is wrong with you all the time.  Sometimes they make it worse.  This woman should be charged in some capacity along with the father of that precious gift that is laying in a coma in a hospital in Rome.

I know it’s a little late to be looking for swing sets but the one we had for the grand babies is falling apart all of a sudden.  I didn’t realize that there were so many to choose from online either but I found two or three I would like to have.  Now I just have to let the grand babies pick one out and we’re good to go.

I am getting so tired of this 90 plus degree weather.  It’s so hot you can’t do anything outside except for early morning or late evening.  I feel so sorry for the guys that have to work on the road construction crews.

Here’s a though, they should take the guys in prison and have them work on the road crews and save the states a bunch of money on having to pay so many people big bucks.  Of course they have to be paid something but that should go to pay their child support and even maybe some money put in savings for them for when they get out to help get a new start.  I guess a third should go to pay support, a third to savings and a third to keep themselves up.  How’s that for a thought????
