Bizzy & Her Ears . . . . .

Poor lil Bizzy has been having trouble getting her ears to stand up, so after she was groomed this morning, the Dr. took a look at her ears and glued them together. She doesn't seem to mind though. LOL! We will be taking her back in a week so that the Dr. can check the progress. Keeping my fingers crossed. LOL!

Here is a picture of our sparkling clean baby and her glued ears . . . .it was late and she was not much in the mood to cooperate with the photographer! HeeHeeHee! :oP

Immigration Bill . . . . .

I have written on the immigration problem in the United States many times and I have even written to my state representatives. Now this 800 page Monster has been tabled for the time being . . . . .But Wait . . . . .They are going to try to bring it back!!!!

WHAT????

Was it not clear the first time around that the American People HATE this Bill!!!!!???

First of all, 800 pages . . . .What's up with that? . . . .And how much garbage can be hidden in 800 pages????

Second of all, why do we need a new bill anyway??? We already have approved bills and laws on the books. If our government would simply follow through . . . . . .then . . . . . .Problem Solved!!!!

The only things that I think we need to do is: 1. Make it tougher for businesses to hire illegal immigrants and impose tough penalties should they try to ignore the law and hire illegal immigrants anyway. . . . . . And . . . . . . 2. We should also force all state and local law enforcement to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Putting up a wall along the southern boarder has already been approved. . . .Soooooo . . . .BUILD IT!!!

So what do we have here? . . . . .:

1. Build the wall!!

2. Make sure that businesses hire American Citizens OR LEGAL immigrants ONLY!!

3. Force State and Local Law enforcement to cooperate with (ICE), which will ensure that illegal immigrants who commit crimes are deported post haste!!! OH . . . .And if they refuse . . . . .Take away any Government Funding going to said city or state! It is NOT an option!!

How long do you believe that the US will have an immigration problem if we build the wall and follow the laws that are currently on the books? I believe that the problem will be OVER. We will not even need to deport many of the illegal immigrants, they will simply leave on their own with no jobs to be had here by illegals. Then, and Only then, can we move forward with speeding up the LEGAL immigration process and any guest worker proposals.

Leave it to Our Government to make it complicated and create an 800 page bill when we already have perfectly good laws that need only to be enforced!!!

Humor . . . .Or Maybe Not . . . . .

I received this in my email:

Subject: The Ant and the Grasshopper

OLD VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!



---------------------------------


MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome."Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.

The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote.

Did You Know . . . . .?

I received this in an email:

_____________________________________________________________

THIS IS TRUE…..I LOOKED IT UP…HERE’S THE LINK


http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/sanitizer.asp


Ok. I don't know where to begin because the last 2 days of my
life have been such a blur. Yesterday, My youngest daughter
Halle who is 4, was rushed to the emergency room by her father
for being severely lethargic and incoherent. He was called to her
school by the school secretary for being "very VERY sick." He
told me that when he arrived that Halle was barely sitting in the
chair. She couldn't hold her own head up and when he looked into
her eyes, she couldn't focus them. He immediately called me after
he scooped her up and rushed her to the ER.

When we got there, they ran blood test after blood test and did
x-rays, every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal,
nothing was out of the ordinary. The ER doctor told us that he had
done everything that he could do so he was sending her to Saint
Francis for further test.

Right when we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher had come to
the ER and after questioning Halle's classmates, we found out that she
had licked hand sanitizer off her hand. Hand sanitizer, of all things.
But it makes sense. These days they have all kinds of different scents
and when you have a curious child, they are going to put all kinds of
things in their mouths.

When we arrived at Saint Francis, we told the ER doctor there to
check her blood alcohol level, which, yes we did get weird looks
from it but they did it. The results were her blood alcohol level
was 85% and this was 6 hours after we first took her. There's no
telling what it would have been if we would have tested it at the
first ER.

Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools have taken this
out of the classrooms of all the lower grade classes but what's to stop
middle and high schoolers too?

After doing research off the internet, we have found out that it only
takes 3 squirts of the stuff to be fatal in a toddler. For her blood
alcohol level to be so high was to compare someone her size to drinking
something 120 proof.

So please PLEASE don't disregard this because I don't ever want anyone
to go thru what my family and I have gone thru. Today was a little better
but not much.

Please send this to everyone you know that has children or are having
children. It doesn't matter what age. I just want people to know the
dangers of this.

Thank you
