As I sat down to play Jeopardy with my 71 year old disabled mother tonight the next door neighbor and another guy from two doors down the other direction were outside working on the next door trailer. My windows were open and I could hear the guy from two doors down making snide ass little bitch comments about an angry neighbor.
A little history here. Twice in the past week the dog from two doors down, yes that asshole's, got loose and came over into my yard while I was watering my garden. I have spent a few hundred dollars over the years making raised gardens and putting in walkways and buying perennials for my garden. The dog, which is a pitbull or pitbull mix started getting excited and ran through some of the garden before the woman from two doors down came and got it.
It is a female dog and from what I can tell it is not vicious She apologized and the dog didn't have time to start digging. Not a big deal.
The very next night as I was watering the garden, the same dog got loose again and came over running around in the garden area. I yelled for them to come get their pitbull. My mother came outside and walked towards the garden area. I yelled at her to get back as she does not know the dog. She doesn't listen to me and came closer.
The dog having wrapped the line which was attached to its collar around my ankle started running to my mother. I got a lovely little rope burn and started yelling louder to get the dog. The dog jumped up on my mother and almost knocked her over as it was excited. If it had knocked her down it could have severely injured her.
About this time the asshole that owns the dog came around the front of the trailer between our trailers and I yelled explicitly that if the dog came over again I would call the pound. My mother went inside and called the park manager and he went over and talked to the people.
Somehow, now I am the bad guy because some pathetic little twit can't keep his dog under control and in his own yard.
Both the guy with the dog and the next door neighbor can kiss my ass and die for all I care.

Back belts
There are many articles out there that say that there is no scientific evidence that back belts help prevent injuries.
Back belts do help. What they do is hold or attempt to hold your body in a better posture position. They give support to your gut if you have one which takes strain off your lower back even when not working or exercising. If you are carrying a load in front of you the back belt will hold in your gut somewhat and force you to stand in a more correct position to lessen the strain on your lower back.
Back belts that go over your shoulders also tend to limit the amount of twisting that you can do while wearing them. They DO NOT completely stop you from twisting. If you lift things incorrectly you still will or might get injured, the belts just make it harder to lift improperly.

ABC Warehouse delivery
I recently went to ABC Warehouse on S.Penn in Lansing, Michigan and purchased a mattress and box springs set. I paid extra for delivery/setup/haulaway. I took apart my old bed and had it sitting outside ready to be hauled away to make it easier for the delivery team. I had them leave the new mattress and box springs in my living room as I am capable of setting it up myself. again it makes it easier for the delivery guys.
After all that the asshole delivery team refused to take the old mattress and box springs giving me some bullshit about contaminating the rest of the load. There is nothing on the old ones to contaminate anything. We do not have any bugs in our house and I tend to keep it at least clean enough for company. They even had a big plastic bag to put both in because the new ones came together inside of one even though they were wrapped separately. The assholes just did not want to have to move them around as the day went on. There were 3 of them.
When I called ABC to complain they said they would call the drivers and then call me back. When they called back they said that the drivers were not going to come back and take the old mattress and box springs. The ABC person then stated that they have no control over the drivers as they are contractors. ABC needs to contract with someone else. These people were dirty and not professional looking. I will admit that the two helpers that carried the new set into the house were at least polite.
On the part of ABC, they said that they will mail me a 30 dollar rebate check.
Come on people run your own companies and make sure that things are done right.

The Super Bowl
I did not watch it. From what I have seen of the highlights though it seems that it was a pretty fucking good football game. Congrats to the Patriots.
It was, however, just a football game and actually offers little to nothing useful other than a few hours of distraction from the crap going on. Unless you are the government that is. The government uses the spectacle to push nationalistic propaganda. It would seem that the mass media has also decided to push religion in the entertainment shows with the lowlights from Lady Gaga.I should also mention the "getting used to seeing drones in the sky" conditioning.
Almost forgot. The Super Bowl also makes a lot of people a lot of money and not just those on the field. It tends to cost the masses while a select few profit, profit, profit.
Wow, religion, government and money the real axis of evil all rolled into one entertainment show.
The entertainment industry is part of the establishment. Fuck the establishment.
All the entertainment industry does is get rich off the stupidity of the masses throwing away their money on them.
This post will most likely be not popular with a lot of people, especially those that would like nothing more than to not have to do any real work and become rich. I don't care, because I think the world would be a better place without your kind of people.
If you check, you will find that there are no ads on my blog. I use my time on this blog, trying to get people to think and do not want any money for it.

Couple of things that I will not do again
Blind loyalty is moronic.
That said, there are some things that I will not do again.
1. I will never eat at a Ponderosa restaurant. I went into one in 1988 and saw a picture advertising what looked like a big juicy steak of the variety that I wanted. I ordered it and when it got to the table it was a small steak at best. I walked over to the picture and looked again to make sure that I saw the right one and I did. I vowed then to never ever eat at a Ponderosa again and I have not.
The rest are more recent and I am going to leave out some things in between.
2. I will never order from Breck's Bulbs again. I have had several problems with flowers not growing at all and lots of problems with their so-called perennials not coming back the next year. I decided to give them another chance and ordered 100 dollars worth of plants this year. Half of the order were plants that get shipped in the spring. I went out and made three new raised gardens to put the plants into, ( yes, I cut the wood, put it together and painted it then dug up the sod and put the framing into position and bought new high quality garden soil to fill them with). The original date on their site that I should expect delivery was 5/19/2016. They changed that several times and I finally got the stuff on 5/27/2016. When it got here some of the plants already had blooms that were dead and brown and the foliage was turning yellow. The other plants were bareroots that were all clumped together in the 2 separate bags. I managed to somewhat separate one of the types of plant into the 6 pieces that were supposed to be there, but there were already new growth shoots and planting them was a nightmare as the new growth was going the same direction as the roots. The other type had all grown into one plant it seemed and there were supposed to be 3.
Breck's stated that they would refund my money and cancel the rest of the order and I also had them remove me from their email and catalog mailing lists. As soon as my money is refunded they will never hear from me again.
3.Just today I found out something else that I will never do. I will never again buy seafood from Kroger. I work at the Kroger store in question. I went in and saw a sign in the case that I thought read 3.99/lb on the salmon. So I got three little skinny fillets and when the clerk weighed them and I saw 11.97 I rechecked the sign and saw that it was 3.99 each for a little 6 Oz. fillet. There is another sign right on the case that says the salmon is 7.99/lb. Why were the 6 Oz. fillets in the case at 3.99/lb? The same kind of salmon right next to the strips was 7.99/lb. That is a blatant rip off and I apologize to anyone that shopped at the store and got had by that scam. Why didn't my co-worker double check that I knew the price was each? I won't be saying hello to him anytime soon either.
To add, I also noticed that the seafood cooler unit next to the department was empty and someone was working on it. I am wondering if they took stuff out of that case after it went down and unwrapped it and put it into the main case? Is that how they knew that the strips were 6 Ozs each? Is that where they got the rip off price?

Just fucking wonderful
I said that the car was on its last legs. One of them broke and now I have no car. I am even further limited as to where I can work now. The car was a 1999 Buick Regal and apparently there was a known problem with various models from GM that came out around then with the rear struts and strut mounting areas at the top. The whole area that the strut is mounted to at the top, visible inside the trunk, comes apart or rusts out and the whole strut tower can end up going through it into the trunk itself. That was on its way to happening, but the strut actually broke and ended up against the rear tire first. Because the area was not too far from giving way, the struts were not able to be replaced by the guy that gave my mother the car. He is a friend of the family and only gave it to her because she needed a way to get back and forth to her various doctor appointments. She did not drive it very much.
Now we are both screwed for transportation.
None of that would have happened if the local places I applied had hired me for jobs that I am very capable of doing. That is why I applied to them in the first place. I don't want a challenge, I want a job to go to and do it without bullshit games and lowlife idiots. I am there to do my job, and get my paycheck, and that is the only reason that I would be there.
I hate the whole feeble minded, pathetic, idiot, need their hands held every second of the day even at work crowd. While they are all holding hands and being one big happy family someone else has to get all the work done. If someone else is doing the work, why the fuck are the others even there?
I hate the Lansing area as a whole. Not everyone here sucks, but this is where my life got destroyed and for that I will always hate this fucking area.
All I want is a part-time job to start with, and that means hours for the scamming assholes, that may or may not work into more hours or I can get a different job down the road either way. I am not going to party or socialize with anyone in this area. I am going to do my job, get my paycheck and go home. I want to save what I can until my mother and my cats live out their lives and then I am going to leave this shit hole of an area for good.
If I can get a decent job in this game playing, gossiping moron filled shit hole of an area.
