Just Rambling

For some reason, I haven't been very motivated lately. It must be the hot weather, grandchildren out of school, along with some other items that have been occupying a good portion of my small mind.

The father-in-law has been in the hospital again and my wife has been staying there most of the past week. He lost a leg last year due to poor circulation and is about loose the other one.

He fell off of the side of the bed during the night and broke what was left of the removed leg. The irony of the whole situation is that the man still has to go outside to smoke.

I am not trying to be disrespectful or kick anyone when they are down, but this is just one situation that I do not understand. He has been told for years that the smoking greatly damages his circulation and cuts down on the oxygen supply to his extremeties. For the life of me I don't know what he is thinking.

Change of pace:
On the subject of illegal immigration, some African American groups have joined the immigration debate. Part of the groups argue that the illegals steal job opportunities and advancements from the black Americans and others support the amnesty approach. (This comment is in realationship to my last 2 posts.)

On a more positive note, we had pot luck summer hot dog lunch at work on Friday and everyone brought a condiment, soft drink, or a side dish. I found a great recipe for crock pot barbecue beans (actually was more like chili beans with a very slight sweet taste). I modified it a little and got a lot of positive compliments. Great recipe if anyone is interested.

Let me remind everyone again about the great back to school specials being offered by HP.

Great deals on notebooks and desktops


Also, if you or anyone that you know is going to college and needs books, check out the links from the Resources page of my website. You can save a ton on both new and used college books.
