  1. Yes, there are things about Texas that I miss...
  2. They have NO business here, and they certainly have no right to sue this guy. But because of the way things are going, these pond scum will win and the American people will lose more of their rights to their own land. They are "people" who belong on THEIR side of the fence, plain and simple. If they choose to come here, they risk their lives in doing so. If shooting them begins to eliminate the problem, I am all for doing that. I believe so long as they are going to abuse my country, abuse its resources, and abuse its people, they are nothing more than a virus on society and should be eliminated. Period.
  3. So... when you had your child out of wedlock, you stayed HOME as well while taxpayers supported you? :ohmy:
  4. THEY can be helped properly by being found GOOD homes where they will be loved and cared for properly by somebody who doesn't have a breeder complex. She should be taken out of the equation completely and sterilized.
  5. Hey, I WAS being nice! :ohmy:
  6. To our Aussie friends: They just announced an arrest in one of the arson fires. I know it doesn't take away the sting of the deaths and destruction that were experienced by many over there, but at least somebody will answer for his part.
  7. Because she believes in people supporting the terminally stupid in society, and that belief takes up too much room to allow any others in. :thumbup:
  8. Twelve years old when he conceived. :thumbup: She looks 10 years older than him, too.
  9. Baby-faced boy is father at 13 | The Sun |News
  10. Her back looks fine here: OctoMom -- It Was a Very Goodyear - TMZ.com I hope after they take her kids away, they investigate her for insurance fraud and lock her away.
  11. Sorry, I meant the state as in the government, not the normal people. :thumbup:
  12. Much less carry eight of them. It's because she's milking the system way beyond the time she was qualified for benefits.
  13. Just one day. Extra good wishes and hugs for tomorrow. :thumbup:
  14. Oh wow, HUGE good vibes and mucho prayers for you. :thumbup:
  15. Thanks for the hugs and advice. I do plan on typing it all up on my computer tonight because I do expect something to come of this or be mentioned about it when the other two bosses get back (the one tomorrow and the big boss later in the month).
  16. I just thought that what's going on here is proof of what we're saying about the breeder.
  17. 1) She put her business out there. 2) Once she does something like this and the people are paying for it, it BECOMES our business.
  18. Yes, I do, and I raised mine. I paid for mine. I supported mine and was there without dumping MY responsibility on my family. Nor was I nuts. This woman undoubtedly has a screw loose. Thirty seconds into her interview showed me that.
  19. That's interesting... especially considering you said: My children are 27,24,23,22,21,19,18,17,15 &13. The 24,22 & 21 year olds I didn't deliver myself, just raised. So... assuming the three OLDEST are gone, that would mean that you have kids aged 23, two 22's, two 21's, and 19 that are adults -- and one of these kids has had a baby -- all still living at home. Why is it that they can't make it on their own. :thumbup:
  20. No, the best thing for the childrens' sake is to find them good homes and adopt them out to people who aren't nuts.
  21. Since you haven't had babies in many years, nor did you have EIGHT of them at once with six others that are 7 years old and younger, you have no idea what the cost is these days. Daycare ALONE (something you claim you didn't have to pay because you were a stay-at-home-mom) is probably going to run more than a lot of people make in a year. She won't have the luxury of staying home if she truly goes out to get schooling or get a job. She WILL have daycare expenses. That is, if that stupid state of Californication doesn't pick up the tab for THAT too... :thumbup:
  22. The good thing is I don't NEED-need the job. We put probably 75 percent of my pay away into savings and 401k. If something happened, we wouldn't sink. And though I can swallow many things in life, being abused isn't one of them.
  23. 'Nuther bad day. The boss who hollered at me yesterday called me into her office first thing when I got in this morning. I said good, I was planning on talking with her anyway. She was mad that I left yesterday, and she was mad that she was given this file to do something with that she said she didn't have time for. I said I was TOLD to give it to her by the bigger boss, and secondly, I don't make it a point to "just leave" work. She said I was unprofessional for doing so, and I stopped her mid-sentence and asked just how unprofessional was it for her, a much higher up than me, to be standing outside my cubicle yelling at me?? She claimed she didn't yell; I claimed I had at least one witness who came by afterward with eyes as big as saucers. This went back and forth for at least 10 minutes. I said finally, "This will NEVER happen again. You will NEVER talk to me in that manner EVER. I don't get paid enough to put up with abuse like that over something that was essentially nothing." She kept disputing whether it was "yelling" or "raising her voice." Cuz I'd "know" it if she was yelling. Whatever. She said if it happens again, I will be docked LWOP. I said I don't anticipate this (meaning her yelling again) to happen again, but if it does, I will take it up with HR. I said she has gone from being the "nice one" to being a bully who makes it a habit of yelling at people in the office and clientele that comes in. Of course she denied this too. I said I didn't even know who she was anymore, that she is not the same person. She said other actions/behaviors have nothing to do with what we're talking about. I said it has EVERYthing to do with what we're talking about when she's making it a habit of being abusive to staff. I reminded her that professionalism starts at the top; and just because she has the high position, etc., does not mean that she is a respectful individual. Anyway, the new boss comes back from training tomorrow, and the big boss is out of town until the 23rd, I think. Of course she already knows about this since this boss called her -- but of course she only told her side which, I am sure, did NOT include her yelling at me. I'm expecting the one coming back tomorrow to start it up again with me, but I'm really not in a mood to include somebody that wasn't even there. The good thing is, the one witness I have is very respected by the big boss who is out of town and once he tells her what he heard, I think there will be a whole new spin on things.
  24. And having a clown car va-jay-jay has never been truer!
  25. THANK you!!! It's that entitlement gene that is getting further and further ingrained in our society -- "I WANT IT NOW SO I'M GONNA GET IT NOW." There is a HUGE difference between somebody falling on legitimately hard times and another person CREATING them because she's selfish.
