Waking with the strangest dreams-miniature cows??

I woke up remembering my dreams. That is rare. I couldn't tell you the last time I remembered my dreams.
No, it wasn't anything I ate.
I stood in the kitchen looking at a little square Tupperware container. You know, the kind you stash your  leftover Macaroni and cheese? Someone stood across from me. We were having a conversation and as we talked I lifted the lid to the container. Inside were four miniature cows and a miniature black bull with sharp horns.
They immediately jumped out and I found myself chasing them around the fruit bowl and cereal boxes.
I got the cows back inside but the bull kept fighting.
Each time I opened the container to return the bull a cow would jump out.
Finally I got the lid on tight and walked away.

A few hours later I was standing inside a department store and a family stood by a counter with the cows and bull, claiming they found them running around . I explained they weren't for sale, put them back in the container and wondered how I ended up taking care of four miniature  cows and a bull and what they would do next.

Any ideas?

"Reality TV" It's Dead-Get On With It!

I am so sick of reality tv- it doesn't  deserve to be capitalized.
For awhile a few of the shows amused me-Housewives of New Jersey was kind of trashy in a Jerry Springer way-the word reality is some kind of joke,  scripting is an insult-kind of like watching WWF. You know it's fake, why waste time?
Can't flip through the channels without sixty odd reality shows, the other channels are nailing us with reality infomercials and there isn't much difference.
Now, Sarah Palin is going to have an "Alaska" reality show and her kid is shopping around for a Bristol family Donna Reed show, what is left?
Have we no shame or dignity anymore?
A show about  repo-ing someone's truck or motorcycle? Cheaters?  Process Servers? Pawn Shops? Funeral Homes?  Sara and Bristol Palin?
The entire United States media has jumped the shark.
No, jumping is a kind description, US media trawls the ocean floors with catfish, slugs and other bottom feeders.
We're supposed to be "entertained" by media's lowest common denominator-stupidity.

Anyone Else Not Care To Be Along For This Ride?? (Politics)

My stomach is in knots when I read the news. I don't remember getting on this roller coaster ride voluntarily -and I sure don't know how to get off unless pleading ignorance is the E Ticket ?
I do not believe in profiling race to control immigration.
I don't believe 2 1/2 million unemployed people in our nation are "whiners" and "lazy"
I don't believe every person losing a home to foreclosure is shirking responsibility.
I don't believe we need to "tighten our belts" in order to control the economy.

I do believe the middle class are disappearing.
Many professionals have been laid off to "save money" and are replaced with "younger, inexperienced" people.

Why do I believe it?
Because companies are making record profits and the unemployment  and  foreclosure rates continue upwards yet consumer spending rates are  down.
So big companies and Wall Street are doing great but our citizenship is struggling and losing ground financially.
No, I don't want to go along on this crazy ride called,
"We don't want more taxes, we want less-
and no we don't care who is suffering out there, if families are suffering, it is their problem".
I don't like being on the ride called, "Public schools are horrible, teachers and government employees are over paid, let's cut them off even more."

Our "voice" per se, as a nation, has become one of hostility, heartlessness , selfishness and greed.
I don't know how this happened or where it is coming from, but it isn't the "E ticket ride" I chose.
Get me off.
This nation feels like a bad "Chuckie" movie, and I don't like it.

Beware, Las Vegas Police shoot first, ask questions later

Las Vegas has become a microcosm of what a police state looks like.
You might want to keep this information for future reference.
The Las Vegas Police department doesn't use tasers to subdue potentially dangerous suspects,
They shoot to kill.
In the past 6 months, 17 people have been killed by Metro Police officers.
Of those incidents, one especially trigger happy officer has killed twice in six months.

Consider that Las Vegas, the place you go to keep secrets, is a "libertarian state", carrying concealed weapons is a badge of honor for the tough, independent, but very self centered men living in this little corner of the state.

And it is the men who are shot and killed.
Well, they did shoot and kill a woman standing outside next to an ice cream truck because they claimed she had a butter knife in her hand. She was upset with the police because they were apprehending her husband, the driver of the truck.

Las Vegas Police officers don't mess with deescalation techniques, or quelling a potentially charged situation.
In fact the most recent shooting to create real controversy was the shooting of a man outside of Costco, in the parking lot .
Glad I wasn't pushing my shopping cart around Costco that day.
Oh, it was recorded but something about the tapes not working correctly.

Flawed video is kind of a mantra with the department.
Used to help elect Jim Gibbons, Nevada's worst governor ever, brought this state to its knees these past two years.
Perhaps the LVMPD should share the blame for our fiscal and regulatory nightmare.

So what, right?
Our little corner of the world  isn't very big, is it?
Visitors are getting the message that Las Vegas is a very scary place for a vacation.
A very, very scary place.

Suckers! The Palin Greed Train

Sarah Palin dumps her Gov job to sell a ghost written book and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for "speaking engagements"
Surprise!
Levi and the Palin Princess are reunited! Will marry!
Oh, what a surprise! Shopping for a reality show.
Have we had enough of the sleazy behavior
or are some of you still convinced she's the A ticket for president?

That's what I thought..
The painful reality of my country -please prove me wrong here-please?
morons, ignorant, ignorant morons

Wild Country and the Las Vegas Man

Like wild horses in the Nevada Canyons, only not as pretty or self sufficient, the Las Vegas man of Nevada considers himself to be a Libertarian. Now a Libertarian believes the less government the better.-
But let's take a look at what the Nevada man really says when he speaks "Libertarian"
 "The less government the better-no one has the right to be in my business-"
what this really translates into is a mandate for legalized prostitution, legalized drug use, loose alcohol and gambling restrictions, and no responsibilities toward the community in which one resides.
The Las Vegas man can be spotted in the comments section of both local newspapers railing about less government spending and regulation.  Regular commentary  from this species usually entails the ranting about the uselessness of children and encouraging the closing of public schools, the disgust with single women and children, anyone needing help, disabled, mentally ill, elderly-
one might believe Hitler's ancestors sent their remaining genes disguised as men to Las Vegas to set up a pure, healthy, white race of humans, preferably "just men" because women can be purchased for a few hours.

Trucks abound in Nevada. Not a state to worry about conservation of any resource except the money in the Las Vegas man's wallet, he sees women as entertainment, ignoring laws and rules as his right, and the only responsibility he claims is for himself.
You won't find this man on Match.com, nor will he ever claim to be lonely or in need of long term companionship.
As long as he has a paycheck, he has all he needs.
A beer or a joint in hand, a roll of the dice, a hook up from the night club, a working truck, and he is good to go.

Welcome, Midwest and East Coast to

90 degrees ? A luxury in summertime Las Vegas. Anything under 100-comfortable.
While those in the Midwest and on the East coast complain about the heat they might want to take a look at the hottest cities and learn how to cope.
Unfortunately many cities aren't equipped to deal with the heat as well as Las Vegas.

1. Acclimate yourself to the heat by going outside in it during early mornings and evenings. Stay out of the days hottest hours if possible.  Amazing but  true-lots of people actually work out in the heat and get used to it.
 They drink lots of water and wear sun protection but it is doable.

2. Las Vegans turn their days and nights around when possible. Las Vegas is a 24 hour town. Shopping can be done at night.
In fact, most of what you want to do can be after sundown with the exception perhaps of going to the bank.
Early evening is a perfect time to get those prescriptions filled, hit the library, go to Walmart.

3. If you must go into the daytime heat, plan your trips to cover as much as possible. Hit the bank, any chores requiring 9-5 hours in one trip. Stay indoors the rest of the time.
4. Turn your nights into days. Sleep during the day and work during the night. Clean your house at 2am. You will have more energy when the air is cooler and the suns glare is gone.
5. Keep moving. The heat makes us lazy. In the desert, summer is our winter. Most people gain weight in the summer and lose it in the winter. Take early morning walks, garden  or mow the lawn at sunrise or sunset.
Heat really does make us lazy.
6. Take water everywhere. Dehydration is not only dangerous in the early stages it makes people grumpy. Grumpy people are bad drivers, poor customers and lousy neighbors. Drink water!
7. The heat harms babies and the elderly must faster than the rest of the population. Infants bodies don't regulate temperatures like adults. Heat can be deadly. Keep them indoors if possible, if not, cover them with a light cotton blanket in the sun, give lots of fluids, keep their skin out of the suns glare.
8. Older adults whacked by the heat can suffer strokes and heart failure with excessive exposure. Check on your parents and neighbors.
9. Stay positive. Makes the difference between road rage and tolerance.
Las Vegans can be ugly drivers in the heat. Our insurance rates prove it.

You think we WANT Republicans in Office??

Of course no one wants to see the rest of those idiots blunder, plunder and cheat the remaining 1% of America, since the middle class and poor are almost one.
But Hey?? Democrats-you can't even get a vote together to keep the unemployed from hurting even more?

So what ARE OUR choices come fall? Ineptitude or Destruction?
Give us something to hope for, Democrats, please?

Doing More Of The Same-the American Way

With over 1.2 million American citizens unemployed and without unemployment, the Fourth of July must feel seeped in betrayal.
How frightening it must be to have no options to feed ones family, pay the utilities or pay the rent or mortgage.
Not since the Great Depression have American citizens been without a safety net.
State budgets have been cut to the bone.
Yeah, let's stay in this craziness and bail out the big banks but allow those who have worked and contributed to our economy for years and years to suffer.
What country is this, again? Please refresh my memory.
