Life with the Two Crazy Dogs

When I was in KL, my friend Deb took me to Suria KLCC.  It was the first time I was there and I was so glad that I got to go see what the Petronas Towers look like.

We walked almost every floor and till I had to pee. So happened we were on the second floor, the floor where all the designer stores are located.  As I was walking I saw the sign for bathrooms and told Deb I’m going to the bathroom.  She told me not to go to the bathrooms on the second floor.  Why I wondered??

There.  Because it’s a Premier Paid Toilet.  Whoever needs to go do their business and so happen you are on this floor, you have to pay RM2.00, and exact change, too.  I should have paid the RM2.00 and take a look what so special are their bathrooms that one has to pay that much pee or poop.  Does it not smell like the other non paying bathrooms?  I wonder if they are spotless and dry?  Must be some fancy schmancy toilets, gold trimmings with bidets??  :)  Wonder how many people has patronize this Premier Paid Toilet?  I suppose whoever thought of this idea thinks that if one can afford to shop on this floor, he/she can afford to pay the RM2.00 for a pee or dump.  Can’t be curious anymore coz maybe the next year or two when I’m in KL, it’s not required to pay anymore. 

I was on the phone with a friend this evening and we had a conversation in regards to same sex marriage how she supports it by legalizing it, but I am the opposite.  I don’t care if you gay/lesbian but I do not believe in same sex marriage.  Yes, some companies do not include their significant other/partner in the insurance coverages.  She told me about her instructor who is gay and her partner was involved in an accident and almost in a vegetable state.  She was sent to a nursing home by the girl’s parents after she came out from her coma, where I suppose in a nursing home they do not have to purchase incontinence supplies.  Because there was no insurance coverage provided for the instructor’s girlfriend, this poor girl had to stay in the cheapest nursing home and now that she is living with the instructor who is caring for her occupational and physical therapies, she is able to walk and move her arms. 

I still think that companies nationally should include the employees’ partners to the benefits package, but do not pass the damn law to legalize the marriage - so that they can “have” kids which I have read in the news that many gay couples are doing now.  But isn’t it weird, as a child to be brought up with a pair of parents of the same sex?  My coworker and I had this conversation before since our company has this employee resource group for the gay/lesbian and trans-gender, we two totally disagree with congress passing the law on same sex marriage.  I know some states has this law passed, California as one of them, and I think Maryland, too.  And if the Democrats wins the Prez election, we will definitely won’t be seeing this same sex marriage thingy.  Anyways, my thoughts do not worth a cent…..

I saw this article on MSN yesterday which really shocked me when I saw those costumes. 
These costumes are totally making little girls vurnerable to pedophiles lurking out there.   I suppose many mothers are dressing up their girls of 8 and above or younger than 8, and sending them  for contest, modelling and acting.  Dressing them up and loading them with makeup at that age is asking for trouble, in my opinion.  Won’t these girls grow up needing more attention and be more materialistic?

I wonder how much parents will spend on Halloween costumes every year excluding what they need to buy for the kids school clothes.  In the article, it says parents will spend around $2 billion for costumes exceeding the amount in 2003.  I bet you many young girls are looking for the Hannah Montana look for this Halloween. 

I can’t fathom why parents will allow their kids to dress up like those on the article.  They are utterly not suitable for children.  There are too seductive and won’t the kids grow up with this stigma in them that they have to worry about body image, how pretty they look and how might create problems for the parents when they kids are older? 

Well, that’s my thoughts…..

Charles Schultz Philosophy 
 The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip. You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you’ll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.
  

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Acheivements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.  Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.  Easier?  

SD sent this to me couple weeks ago.  I know for a fact that those who I know and are working, and pay their taxes agrees to this below message.  

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me.
 I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.
 In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test
with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people
who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine
test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them??

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on
their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone
sitting on their ass, doing drugs, while I work… Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public
assistance check ?????

I totally do not agree with the state’s thinking of welfare.  Minnesota has the most generous welfare program in the country.   If folks still have a pair of good limbs, get their lazy butts out and look for a job.  I rather see my taxes go to the National Guards or the Reserves.
