Before you go and post how dare I write something like this.   Read what I have to say and understand where I  am coming from.

I,  like many, donated what they could to help the efforts in Haiti.  I am a below income mother of 5 children, 4 of whom live with me.  I did the donate by cell phone, clicking the number and hitting send, and they took 5 bucks off my pay as you go phone.  It was the least I could do.  I couldn’t possibly understand that kind of devastation, and really do feel for these people, BUT….

Tiger Woods, this womans view

OMG he is a man and he cheated! *sarcasm*

This whole take on Tiger has really gone overboard now. Well at least for me. When the first report of his wife chasing him down the driveway with a golf club came out, I said to myself, self, he is cheating.  Was I surprised? No.

I think Tiger Woods was this way his whole life, maybe not noticable by his parents, or family, but I think he had this wild side to him and as a young man with money coming out his wazoo, well lets live the life.  Later when his popularity started to really grow, his “people” said to him, “listen Tiger you have an image now and we feel you need to calm down, get a wife maybe, have a couple kids.” And so he did. But did it stop that wild side? No. (more…)

Figured Id best get that X-masy thing off my blog! So tired of looking at a terrified pooch in a blanket.

So, Ive been handed 2 juicy stories through my gaming contacts, both from what I can see make Evony’s community look like a nunnery (google it)

Oh you say, come now IRGRL, cant you leave well enough alone? Hell no I say! (Holds up torch with evil looking face) Hell no!

Ive also got an update on Evony, which I had promised long ago. Yes, I know I’m late, but ya know a girl has stuff to do! Oh and I have a great article on MW2, my newest addiction.

All in all I have a load of stuff to publish, Im very excited about the controversy on the one, and cant wait to stir the virtual pot of slop!

When Teachers step over the line

My one son is far from perfect, usually the class clown, but is shy and reserved, when confronted he will get an attitude and usually respond in one worded answers.  He is a good student though, even if he is lazy, maintaining a B average in school, his report card I just got was all A’s and B’s.  I say this as my into to this situation to give you bit of background. I’m far from dilutional of the fact that he has his moments, and can push a teacher, but he isn’t disrespectful, as he knows I don’t tolerate that. (more…)

I have always been one to be into the environment, and earth day, recycling and such but never so much as when this lovely economy of ours and unemployment hit my family.   I realized I had to cut costs somewhere, the electric bill. So we have decided to , very slowly, build our own solar panels, I estimate I can do one every 4 to 6 weeks. Saving the money up and being able to get the supplies. My goal is to be JCPL free. Tired of them coming to my door telling me I owe them money.  Eventually I would like to have my water as well on solar then I can get rid of the gas company!   Not only will this help our budget, this will help the environment.

Sitting in my garden, flower and vegetable, never did It once pass my thoughts, that my beefsteak tomatoes or my white sugar sweet corn, could be a thing of the past. The changing climates because of global warming, could essentially over time see the depletion of certain crops, vegetation, life saving vegetation, trees. Things that we take for granted now.

As this Christmas is just around the corner, I have started shopping  for the small stuff for my kids when I can. Starting first searching the Internet for the latest games, consoles and upgrades for our numerous gadgets so I can try to get the best deal. Now years ago when my financial status wasn’t knee deep in shit like it is now, when something new came out, I just bought it!  Our house now holds retro game systems Atari 5200, Sega Genesis  and Nintend64 (my fave by far) Dreamcast (by far the worst) PlayStation 1,2 and 3 (2 of each), Game Boys, Game boy  Advanced, Nintendo DS ,Wii and 3 computers all geared for online gaming besides other things.
