Here we go again

So not cool. Here I thought we were all done with this H1N1 thing… thought Nick had already gone through a mild form of it but nooooooooooooooooooooo.

He's got it now. And it seems to have hit his chest – watching carefully for any signs of pneumonia.

Pray for us.

And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

James 5:15-16

Aw Those Cotton Fields Back Home

I was tired today when I went to work.. but that's not surprising, I am ALWAYS tired on Mondays.

I work in a call in service center for Chase. We get calls from all around the country, and a sweet friendly voice is vitally important for the comfort level of our customers. By the time they call us, they are usually ticked off to begin with, very few are calling to just get info.

Three calls into the day, I can feel and hear my voice going… crap. After two hours I came home – I think it's because the cotton is blooming and every year that causes problem… so back onto allergy pills.

Ramblings of a Crazy Woman: Halloween Pizza Party

Ramblings of a Crazy Woman: Halloween Pizza Party

This Weekend is Oktoberfest

I have been stuck home with Alissa since Wednesday. I am going to work tomorrow and then, during the evening, I am going to OKTOBERFEST.

I know it sounds as if I don't care.. but I am tired of being home. Work is somewhere I have to be, but I need to get out and away too.

Anyway, hopefully Gayle will have tomorrow off and he can come with me… we can fight over who's the designated driver!!!

 

Good Night!!

My Take on: Roman Polanski

It was a few years back, one of the years Roman Polanski was nominated for an Emmy award, I found out he wasn't able to attend due to the fact he ran after his conviction of sex with a 13 year old. That so disgusted me I refused to watch any of his movies.

That isn't an easy thing, I mean the man is very talented. His movies have included "The Pianist" "China Town" as well as had cameos in several movies, but the fact is, Roman Polanski did something so deplorable I cannot in any way, shape, or form support him.

I realize he had a horrible life, I mean his mother died in a German Death Camp, he escaped the Warsaw Ghetto's, wandering around the countryside, staying with mostly Catholic Families wherever he could. After reuniting with his father after the end of WW2, he ended up in school, then acting in the 50's, ending up in Hollywood.

He started his Hollywood career with Rosemary's Baby and within a year, his young wife was murdered by the Manson Family. Even though there seemed to be no end to this rising star, we have to remember - here is a man with a whole lot of baggage.

In 1977, he was 43 years old, and he took an interest in a 13 year old girl. He talked her and her mother into allowing him to take photos of her, showing them photos he had published in the French Vogue. He actually took pictures of her a few times before the incident. The girl, according to her Grand Jury testimony, didn't trust him, but couldn't seem to get out of going with him for more pictures.

She was taken to a house she was unfamiliar with, plied with Champagne and a Quaalude. She wasn't feeling well (duh) and he took her into one of the rooms, where he proceeded to rape her. Let's get this straight, at 43 years old, he got a 13 year old girl
drunk and stoned. This man, who was close to 50, took this young girl in a bedroom and, even though she protested, proceeded to orally rape her, then vaginally rape her and then anally rape her. Even after being interrupted by someone else, he raped her again.

The man PLEADED GUILTY to a lesser charge of sex with a minor – I would image so the fullest of his crime wouldn't be known to the public. Let me repeat HE PLEAD GUILTY. His excuse of fearing the judge would throw out the plea deal and sentence him for a longer period of time for RAPE isn't valid. He RAN AWAY to avoid the sentence, not the charges. He is GUILTY.

And now, the Hollywood Elite thinks he has 'served his time' by living out his life outside of the country (the very country so many of these same people disrespect all the time) They act as if him paying off his victim in the early 90's was enough.

 

NO this is a land of laws. It matters little what the victim wants at this point. This man committed a crime, convicted of a lesser crime and ran off to keep from servicing his sentence. He deserves to spend the rest of his nasty life in prison, fighting off those who would do the same to him.
