Monday, February 2, 2009 | A General Update story

     Well maybe I am back now. I have finished my training and taken my last final test. Passed it too........yeah..   Now I just wait for logins to start live on the phone. I have heard though that there seems to be a wait for the logins for some reason.  Oh well it will give me time to catch up on here.

     So things are going pretty well for me now. I think Debbie is much more relaxed that we will have a little more money coming in now. That plus her raise will really help. I do feel a little guilty though with all the other people out there that are having such bad times with loosing their jobs and all. Seems like every week I go to the grocery store things just get more and more expensive. When will it all stop?

     I need to get serious now about trying to loose some of this extra weight. My older sister was telling me yesterday that I should be sure to let my Drs. know that we have diabeaties in our family. I don't know that I remember Mom having it though. I knew and remember her mother having it. I guess it is time to get serious about loosing this weigh now though.

     I also need to get back at working at trying to do something to change this insanity about our societies drastic unfounded fear of all people branded as sex offenders. We have got to get this wild run a way crazyness under control. I do agree that violent sex offenders should be punished. However everyone makes mistakes. What makes them so much more dangerous and unworthy of a second chance than murders? We do not brand murders for life by putting them on a list and broadcasting it to everyone within 2 miles of were they live. What is up with this craziness? I just can't understand how all this got so out of hand. Why do we as a society insist that all "sex offenders" be punished for life? I sometimes think it would be more humane to just  exicute them. This is so crazy. We don't put murders and real violent criminals through this much. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS UNFAIR TREATMENT.

    Lots of problems with the justice system! More than most people ever dream of. So much cheaper to monitor many who are not violent or sex offenders out with the monitoring ankle thing than ship them away for life with out really knowing for sure they are guilty. That is the real issue how easy it can happen to anyone...just like you and me or your next door neighbor.If they think you are guilty of something...you are toast...they will hunt and find and twist the truth and misrepresent facts all the while are their lives above reproach? No. No one is. We all sin......we all make bad decisions...just how much do we pay for things though? Is it reasonable or just nutso amounts for supposed wrongdoing?

    Let those whom have no sin cast the first stone!Be careful fot those whom judge will be judged!

    Says it all. We are imperfect humans.....we can be wrong and are many times....do we really want to play God with peoples lives?

    Sorry. Guess you hit a nerve!
    LOL!
    Glad the job is working out!
    Your friend Rhea!
