Cars vs Guns

-
   I have been thinking about the mass shooting in Florida. It seems that legislators want to implement more gun laws. They think this is going to make us safer. It isn't the law abiding citizen that are committing the crimes. When drinking and driving drunk got to a all time high there were laws put in place to punish the person. It took awhile but we now have laws in place when it comes to drunk driving. It isn't the car's fault if it hits a person. It is the person that is driving the car.

  So why is it the gun's fault when there is a shooting. Shouldn't we hold the person that is doing the shooting responsible like we do the drunk driver? Just a thought.

    Driving is a privilege and the 2nd amendment is a RIGHT. It is part of the Constitution. Just like freedom of speech is part of the 1st amendment. It is our right to speak. Lately it seems it isn't politically correct to voice your opinions about stuff. Whether we agree with it or not we all have a right to our opinions and it is our right to say what we believe. We as a nation need to let our legislators know that we want to have a right to bear arms and protect ourselves.

 It seems to me we need to look at history and what other countries are doing and some how find a happy balance because what we are doing right now is not working.
Ok so that is my take on things.

What to do at 3 in the morning?

-
Well here I sit at the computer and its nearly 3:30 in the morning now. I started getting sick yesterday at school. I was sneezing like crazy most of the day. When I got home I started taking meds. I took everything from Claritin (thinking it might be my allergies) to Theraflu and so far no real relief. Then about 11:45pm I took something that had an antihestomine (not sure what it was since it was out of the box) I figure good something that would dry me up. Well it actually did dry me up however I have been a wake most of the night. UGHHH!! I was suppose to work today but when i woke up at 11:45 pm and good not hardly talk or do much else i called in to the lady that assigns the subs and told her i could not work. Yesterday, Justin was sick with a low fever and coughing. I am hoping to be able to send him to school today. He has missed 8 days of school so far this year and can not miss anymore than 10 before they decide to retain him. I would rather he not have to stay in 3rd grade a

My Scar

-
                                                                 My Scar     “OUCH”, I said to David. He and I were goofing off during band practice one day. He twisted my right wrist.   I didn’t think much of it at the time. It hurt a little but I soon forgot all about it. Then   about a week later I started having pains in my right wrist.   I was having a hard time being able to bend it. I noticed a large bump formed under the skin on the top of my wrist. I didn’t tell my parents. I figured they wouldn’t believe me and would think it was just growing pains.   It wasn’t until I was in my first semester of college that I noticed that the bump on my wrist was getting bigger. Since Mom used to work with a hand surgeon, she still had connections. So I went to see the Dr. and we set a date for the surgery. It would be on January 13, 1978. This date actually fell on a Friday of all days. I went into the hospital the night before, so I would be ready to go into surgery the ne
