My Buying is Done

 I was looking for ideas for gifts for the holidays. So while looking in some old magazines for some old time gifts, I came across this outstanding idea. Some may not like the gift, but they can always take it to store and get 6 or 7 bucks back. Taking gifts back is normal, so why be offended. The others will be joyful.  What about the kids you ask, well I thought about them too, they get the candy version. Can't leave them out, can we. My shopping is all done now, and think about this, I wont be running about frantically looking for gifts at the last moment. Yes indeed, now everyone will know that I care!

Karma does not play well with others.

 I might be the only one that does this, look back on why I let people screw me over. It was so easy to blame the devil or evil forces. Those people had deceived me. The evil bastards! I just felt so sorry for myself, crying was not out of the question. The politicians had told us all that happy days are here again, there would be a chicken in every pot. Gas in every tank. The Government would tuck us in so nice and secure, safer than a mothers arms. How about that money that we loaned and never were payed back, they seemed so sincere. How many events can be brought back to memory. How about that time when nothing but rudeness was shown to us, a complete stranger. Being hateful to our kids.
Personally, I don't care anymore about those things. I repeat that statement many times a day. Some of those people that were on top of the world and judging me so harshly have now been visited by Karma. But in the great scheme of things, pay back does not really matter. Karma will handle the payback.
  It was once said," holding anger and wanting revenge at any cost is very much like drinking poison, then waiting on the other person to die!"

Whose Religion is the Best?

The news lately is just full of venom and hate. This religion is mad at that religion because this religion called that religion unbelievers. Okay? Is the statement true or not? If you don't adhere to their faith and beliefs, then you actually are an unbeliever. On the other hand, if they don''t follow your religion then they are unbelievers.  Of course that calls for bombings, murder, war, you name it, to stop the spread of that evil religion.
Could the rest of the world be told what these know it all religion experts know, so that we can settle the spiritual matters and get on with feeding starving people. I do not follow any one preacher or teacher because I am perfectly comfortable learning on my own. Just study the foundation of any so-called faith, get into the inner workings of that faith, then see if you blindly follow Rev. Soandso.  I might be a handful if one of my grand kids was brain washed into blowing himself up in the name of some BS religion.
 What about all the environmental folks, the vegans, gays and lesbians, Republicans, Democrats, elitists, northerners, southerners, it seems as if everyone has a religious axe to grind. Why do I call it religious? Just ask yourself," what do I spend the most time thinking about?" Whatever it is, that is your true love, with a strong chance of it bordering on being your faith.

Oh well, I have pissed off enough people for now, I am just tired of hearing the people on TV and Radio telling me to send my money to God, just use their address. By the way, if I do something heroic and I am awarded 77 virgins, do I get to go back to being 25?  I need to check the fine print.
