Who is Jack Schitt?

WHO IS JACK SCHITT ?

For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We
find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt!'
Well, thanks to my genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an
intellectual way.

Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the
fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc.
They had one son, Jack.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple
produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull
Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.

Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a
high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt
divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were
living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name.. She was then known
as Noe Schitt Sherlock.

Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son
with a rather nervous disposition named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other
six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout
childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.
The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced t he Schitt-Happens
nuptials.. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse.

Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He
recently returned from with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

Now when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt,' you can correct
them.

Sincerely,
Crock O. Schitt

New Years Resolutions

I understand it is almost February, but my friend Pam posted what she was NOT going to do this year, instead of what she will be doing. I have thought this was a good idea, so I am going to do the same!

Things I will NOT do this year, and in no particular order.

I will NOT
1. allow myself the excuse not to take my medications because it upsets my stomach
2. use the money I am saving for health care for any other purpose
3. let my laziness get the better of me and try hard to stay on top of my finances...that sounds bad. I am just trying to save and pay of my credit card. I am so close, I can almost smell it!
4. let go of my goals and stick with a plan for each.

I am also going to try to be more civic minded. There is a battered women's shelter close by and they are always looking for volunteers. I think I may try to do what I can for them. Even if it is just purchasing personal care items for the women and children, I want to help.

Wow

I just read an article that sited the president lifting a ban on funding international abortion groups. I applaud him for hitting the ground running and also lifting a ban. I don't think it is governments right to tell me what I can or cannot do with my body.

I was taken aback by the amount, however. The US government spends 400 million dollars each year in this. Let's say this together, Four Hundred MILLION dollars. Seriously? Ummmm, couldn't that/shouldn't that money be used here?

This fund is labeled for "abortion groups" around the world, but it actually gives money to countries who have no other way to get health care. My health care was just jacked up to $609 a month. I can't afford it. So why are we giving away that much money abroad. Shouldn't that be kept for us?! Who votes on this?

Ignorance is why we are where we are

I almost gagged to night at work. A older lady came in my store with bejewelled jeans and a sweatshirt. On her sweatshirt was a large picture of Barack Obama and in big bold letters was the phrase "He's Black and I'm Proud".

WTF? You know, it is ignorance like that, that makes GA 49th in the nation. Seriously I cannot get over how many people voted for him because he was black. I think it is so moronic, ignorant, stupid, etc. to vote that way!

I did not vote for him, nor did I vote for the other big ticket guy. I don't think either one of them was qualified. They did not meet the standards to which I want my president to be held. I informed myself on their issues, policies and stances. I did research. I researched all the people I wanted in office. Some Dems and some Repubs. I don't care for the two party system...I think it is a pigeon hole.

Back to topic. It is just appalling that people have voted for this man because of the color of his skin. And then announcing it to the world on their damn shirts! That is like voting for HRC and wearing a shirt with a big vagina on it saying "She's a Woman and I'm Proud" (Thanks Michelle). This woman didn't do research, she judged the book by the cover.

Has it occurred to anyone else that this is how we got into the crap situation we are in? Has it occurred to anyone else tha maybe, just maybe, we ought to hold people accountable, start asking our government officials what they are doing for us. Just becuase they are in office, doesn't mean they have our best interest at heart.

I'm just sick. Please don't get me wrong. I am an American and I will support Obama because he is my president. I may not agree with some of his policies, but I will not be negative about it. I just can't imagine the thoughts that some people have on their voting. I mean, they must run their daily lives that way. How do they make it out of bed/house alive? How do they function?

Merry Christmas

I was posed a question that if I were the CEO of a big company, how would I handle office parties, the phrase "Merry Christmas" (directives to my employees about Happy Holidays), etc. I have given a lot of thought to this holiday question and if I were CEO, this is how it would be.

We would be open year round. I would give out a set number of "holiday" days on top of their vacation package that an employee could use whenever they want. It is not fair that everyone gets off for Christmas, especially those who bitch about how it is crammed down their throat if they aren't Christian. So, those people can work while the Christians have their time off. When those non-Christians have their religious days, pagan days, whatever, then they can take time off then.

In store greetings will be left to the individual person. If I am accepting of everyone's beliefs, then we will not have a tree, menorah, or other religious symbolism displayed at the office or at parties. To have those up would be to "side" with that religion. I feel that having a tree, lights, greenery, Christmas songs playing on the speakers, but not allowing my employees to say Merry Christmas is hypocritical. You can't half-ass it. Either commit to Christmas or not at all.

I am a business woman, so I would have the holiday sales on T-giving weekend, but I will not push my beliefs onto my employees or my business, because that is emotionally running the business, and that is good business sense. Now, I am keeping in mind if I were Sears or Wal-Mart this is what I would do.

I know that some people may think that I am not "being Christian" enough by encompassing everyone and not promoting my own beliefs. I do show my faith by my actions in my personal life. I don't expect them to cram Hanukkah down my throat or chastise me for eating during Ramadan. That is insensitive and un Christ like to expect those culturally different from me to follow my schedule, but me not make room for theirs in mine. I can witness to them by my actions of acceptance and other Christ like behaviors.

So back to the Merry Christmas. I will say Merry Christmas (when I am in a mood to talk to people) to everyone. If they say, they are not celebrating that holiday, I say oh, then Happy Holidays. I am not being insensitive to their culture, I am merely expressing mine and truly wishing them well. If I were to wished a Happy Hanukkah, I would say thank you, Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas. By saying that I am responding to them that I acknowledge they are Jewish and telling them Merry Christmas I am telling them I am Christian. I don't see what the big stink is over.

I would like your thoughts and your input as to what you would do if you were a CEO.

My Second Letter to Obama

Good AFternoon,
I do appreciate the auto response letter from your team members. And I do understand that you cannot possibly answer each and every email that comes though, hence the auto response letter.

Part of your letter states "First, we adopted the strictest ethics guidelines ever applied to any transition team. President-elect Obama pledged to change the way Washington works, and that begins with shifting influence away from special interests and restoring it to the everyday Americans who are passionate about fixing the problems facing our country." Do you not feel that electing Hillary Clinton is opposite from what you "stand" for?

If you want to make a difference and be the leader we all hope you are, please do not bring in any more of the Clinton administration, especially them. I am sure the DNC is pressuring you to, but you know what? You are the president and cannot lose your office because of a party committee. Please do the right thing and hire someone who has our interest at heart, not her own.

Thank you,

Laura

Dear Obama

Good Morning,

I did not vote for you. I don't believe you will bring governmental change. I didn't think McCain (McSame) would either. That is why I voted Independent. I think our government should be more in line with what the people want, not big government. It is the people that make this country great, not the government. You start talking about how great the government is, and we will be a socialist republic instead of a democreatic republic before too long.

But I truly am outraged that you would be considering HRC for your Secretary of State. You have said change, change, change until I can't stomach the word and now you are bringing the whole clan back? That isn't change. Please walk the walk...that is what you as a President are expected to do. I want to believe you, but your actions have proved my first impression of you.
I don't think you have enough experience yet. I think you have a great attitude and the ability, I just think you haven't acquired the skills as of yet. 27 weeks of work in the senate is not enough time to prove you are the man for the job. Although, I think I would have moved out of the country if HRC was elected. I would rather choose to live under someone's thumb, rather than have my rights be taken away little by little.

Please reconsider moving her back into the White House. It will change for the bad if you do.

Sincerely (and optimistically hopeful)

Laura Kirby
