Happy Birthday, Baby!!!!

Sometimes I worry about you
You don't relax enough

You work so hard

There is so much for you to do

Sometimes I worry about you

You don't realize how much

you are appreciated

or how much you give

of yourself to others

or what a wonderful husband

you are to me

and what a perfect father

you are to our children

Other times I am thankful

for the way you are

as I realize it is the

only way you could be

But at all times

I want you to know

that I respect you greatly

and I thank you for

being the best man in the world

in every way

I love you

- Susan Polis Schutz

Happy Birthday

with All My Love Always!!!



Mystery Santa Handing Out $100 Bills

A mystery Santa in Des Moines, Iowa surprised people walking around handing out cards with $100 on the other side. Some people burst into tears and some people didn't know whether or not to believe it, wanting to know if it was real or if they had to do anything for it. The Santa told them, it's real and you can have it. The mystery Santa said he was inspired by a similar mystery in Kansas City, where a secret Santa gives $100 bills to the less fortunate every year and he wanted to do the same and help the less fortunate is Des Moines.

Another Crazy School Bus Driver

Another school bus driver under fire today in Michigan. A woman went to a bar and slammed down six beers and then went to pick up honor roll students to drop them off. A woman reported the bus driver. A drunk bus driver, what's next? These are the people we trust driving our children?

3 Year Old Kenny Wagar Was Left On A Freezing School Bus

Three year old Kenny Wagar was left on a freezing school bus for three ours strapped into a car seat.  The bus driver forget Kenny, who was supposed to be dropped off at a local church for an after-school program on Friday, December 3rd. School was dismissed at 12:15 for an early dismissal for the head start and elementary students, so little Kenny sat on the bus by himself for three hours. When Kenny's mother, Karen Wagar stopped by the church to pick up her son, he wasn't there. After calling the bus garage, they found poor little Kenny sitting in his own urine on the school bus. A Penn Yan school bus driver, Janet Lane has been suspended and charges have been filed against for child endangerment. Kenny's mother says, Kenny is afraid to get back on school bus. If I was him, I would be too.  It makes you wonder where some people's common sense is. Some school bus drivers have no business driving a bus for the schools.

Wife Nearly Kills Her Husband Over The TV Remote

Deloris Holly stabbed her husband last week in St. Petersburg, Florida over the t.v. remote. Her husband, David Marion was watching Monday night football and she wanted to watch "The Closer". St. Petersburg police said Deloris got angry with her husband and ran in the kitchen and grabbed a 5" steak knife. Then she proceeded to stab her husband seven times. Stabbing him in the back of his head, face, shoulder and chest. Detectives on the case say she nearly killed him stabbing him with the knife so deeply she punctured his lung. The couple are newlyweds and have been married about five months. Now Deloris Holly is sitting in jail over the incident and is being charged with attempted murder. I guess a divorce is in her near future. I know some wives get frustrated during football season, but she took her frustration a little too far. I'm sure many women have threatened to kill their husband over their football obsession, but I guess Deloris was serious.

The Republicans Are Holding The Americans On Unemployment Hostage

I think it's bullcrap the Republicans are holding the Americans on Unemployment hostage to get tax cuts for the wealthy. I understand compromising is how Bills get passed, but that is totally wrong to hold the Unemployment hostage to get what they want. People depend on their unemployment for survival. If they cut unemployment then how will people feed their families or pay their rent and mortgage? They will be out on the street with no way to support their families. However, no longer giving the wealthy tax cuts isn't going to put anyone out on the street. So, how can they compare the two? They talk about the government not having enough money to pay unemployment, then how then they afford to give tax cuts to the wealthy. It sounds a little hypocritical to me. Wouldn't no longer giving tax cuts to the wealthy generate more money for the US government? If they were hiring people and generating jobs for Americans with those tax cuts then this country wouldn't be in this mess and people would still be working. Obviously, they are sticking the extra money in their pockets and generating jobs for people in Mexico, China, India and etc. Creating jobs is the last thing they are doing with the money they are getting from tax breaks from the US government. Americans can starve to death and live on the streets, but God forbid cut into the pockets of the wealthy and that is a sin.
