Blinky's Veiw Point

A woman has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet, etc…was stolen.

Twenty minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I replied a little while ago.'

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got ho ld of the pin number.=Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

Moral of the lesson: do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.... and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CON FIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.


PLEASE PASS THIS ON. I never thought about THAT! As of right now, I no longer have 'home' named on my cell phone.

Court Paper for Child Visitation? If The Harris Country Sheriff Department or the Harris Deputy's will not Enforce the Judges Ruling? Who Will?

Tonight My Daughter went out to pick her Child up from the Custodial Parent and he refused to release her daughter.He gave a BS reason.,.,

Anyway My Daughter had your Divorce Paper with her and called for a Peace office to come out to make the ex release the child.

AFTER an Hour of reading the Divorce papers ( by the Officer ) that clearly States she Get her child every 1st,3rd and 5th weekend of the Month from Friday Night at 7pm till Sunday Night at 7pm.
The Office told her That NO Peace Officer will enforce the Divorce Action that Is written.She asked for his Supervisor to come out to the scene and he refused.In the Divorce paper its even Written that Any police office has the right to request the release of the child,but the officer would not Enforce it. The Office said it was a civil matter not a criminal one.Excuse Me Deputy Wheeler you are a Police Office sworn to UP Hold the Law. Do Your JOB. You may be able to Pull that BS excuses with a younger person. But I Know it doesn't matter weather it Criminal or Civil You have a Job to Do.If you no longer want to up hold the Law why are you still wearing the uniform?grow some B***Ls and do your Job. and Your Shift Sergeant is just as bad.The Statement was made that"He had more Important thing to take care of".

SO MY MAIN QUESTION IS WHAT GOOD ARE POLICE AND WHAT GOOD IS THE COURT SYSTEM, IF NO ONE WILL ENFORCE THE JUDGES RULING..

This has been the 10th time her ex has pulled some kind of BS and got away with it.
and every time she has called the police and they do NOTHING..

I have been paying my taxes for years, I want to Know why they DON'T ENFORCE THE LAW. and The EX gets away with screwing her over yet again?
She needs Help but does not have money for a lawyer . Do you all have any Opinions on this.? Grandma wants to see her Grandchild Please Help !! Thanks

sorry but I had to Vent!

I was just reading this News story here on Fox:


HOUSTON  --  Deputies are searching for a man a 14-year-old says has repeatedly threatened her family and sexually assaulted her twice.

The Harris County District Attorney's Office has charged Henry Laws, 30, with indecency with a child. The charges came after his alleged victim, Nicole Juneau, said Laws approached her first at a gas station and then again at her home, where she was playing basketball in the driveway.

"He was like, 'Who are you?'..'How old are you?'...random questions like that," Juneau said.

Juneau said Laws threatened her family and forced her to go with him to a ditch that runs behind her home, where he began to assault her. But Juneau said she broke away and went home.

But around 3 a.m. the next morning, Laws was back, knocking on her window and again threatened her family, she said. She says he took her back to the ditch, where he began to sexually assault her. However, she said she was able to escape a second time.

"Thank God nothing further happened," Tanya Cane, Juneau's mother, said. "But if he's not apprehended, I don't know."

Juneau said she didn't know who the alleged attacker was until she and a friend spotted him driving a car and got its license plate number. Harris County deputies identified the driver as Laws, and the charges were filed against him.

However, the address he gave deputies was incorrect, and now, they're unsure of his whereabouts.


This is very upsetting to me, to think that the Parents are Helpless to help their Daughter. Here is a Child that has the right to grow up in a Free Country and this creep is threating her life and trying to attacker her,I as a parent would do what ever it takes to protect my child..I 'm a piece Loving person but if someone hurt my child in the manner in which this creep is doing I without a doubt would shoot him on sight. He has already tried twice to get to her,I say why give him a third chance?
What is your opinion on this,?

Memorial Day has its customs

General Orders No. 11 stated that “in this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed,” but over time several customs and symbols became associated with the holiday.

It is customary on Memorial Day to fly the flag at half staff until noon, and then raise it to the top of the staff until sunset.

Taps, the 24-note bugle call, is played at all military funerals and memorial services. It originated in 1862 when Union Gen. Dan Butterfield “grew tired of the ‘lights out’ call sounded at the end of each day,” according to The Washington Post. Together with the brigade bugler, Butterfield made some changes to the tune.

God knows, not even the Unknown Soldier can avoid media scrutiny these days

“Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God.” That is the inscription on the Tomb of the Unknowns, established at Arlington National Cemetery to inter the remains of the first Unknown Soldier, a World War I fighter, on Nov. 11, 1921. Unknown soldiers from World War II and the Korean War subsequently were interred in the tomb on Memorial Day 1958.

An emotional President Ronald Reagan presided over the interment of six bones, the remains of an unidentified Vietnam War soldier, on Nov. 28, 1984. Fourteen years later, those remains were disinterred, no longer unknown. Spurred by an investigation by CBS News, the defense department removed the remains from the Tomb of the Unknowns for DNA testing.

The once-unknown fighter was Air Force pilot Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie, whose jet crashed in South Vietnam in 1972. “The CBS investigation suggested that the military review board that had changed the designation on Lt. Blassie’s remains to ‘unknown’ did so under pressure from veterans’ groups to honor a casualty from the Vietnam War,” The New York Times reported in 1998.

It was James Garfield’s finest hour—or maybe hour-and-a-half

On May 30, 1868, President Ulysses S. Grant presided over the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery—which, until 1864, was Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s plantation.

Some 5,000 people attended on a spring day which, The New York Times reported, was “somewhat too warm for comfort.” The principal speaker was James A. Garfield, a Civil War general, Republican congressman from Ohio and future president.

“I am oppressed with a sense of the impropriety of uttering words on this occasion,” Garfield began, and then continued to utter them. “If silence is ever golden, it must be beside the graves of fifteen-thousand men, whose lives were more significant than speech, and whose death was a poem the music of which can never be sung.” It went on like that for pages and pages.

As the songs, speeches and sermons ended, the participants helped to decorate the graves of the Union and Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery.

And in 2000, Congress established a National Moment of Remembrance, which asks Americans to pause for one minute at 3pm in an act of national unity. The time was chosen because 3pm “is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday.”

It was a sad day, for the art car World.. I always like looking at the funny cars and what people would come up with. Hope they continue to have the parade it would be a good way to remember Tom.

To the Family of Tom Jones My  thoughts and prayers are with you. He was a Well Loved Man. We will miss him Dearly..

I'm glad Randy did a story on The people who abuse The Handicap plaques.
and I'm glad  no grateful that the police are cracking down on the abusers. I for one am at times handicap and when I see people park in slots at stores as well as downtown that have NO business using them that way it burns me up..

To be handicapped is no light matter. I say Good Job to Randy for covering the story maybe this will stop some of the abuse. And 2 pats on the back to the police department..

There are times i hurt so bad that i don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. But I have to keep going.I just can't lay there and feel sorry for myself on this days that I do need to use my wheel chair I can't fond spaces to park. I have been in parking lots where perfectly good people beat me out of a space and get out of their cars and walk off.Seaming to have no handicap a all. and I burns me up.

I just got out of the Hospital again because of my P.A.D sent my blood sugar level to a dangerous  High it was 480 normal level is 150*-200  and My Blood pressure shot up to 260/168.
Now for those that don't know what that means , that meant I could have a stoke at anytime and go into a coma because it was so high. all due to pain not because I wasn't taking care of myself. i am very careful about taking my sugar level count 6 times a day.

but pain makes this things go up. and the more pain you are in the higher it gets.
so i was in the hospital for 3 days because They could not lower it all at once or send me in to a shock state. so they were giving me morphine for pain but that only helped at little .
try to imagine your muscle s twisting and turning and trying to pull lose from the bones.
Then they get rock hard, I was in H*ll for 3 days then of course after I got out I needed my wheelchair because my muscles were so sore I couldn't walk for a week.

I'm not always in my wheelchair I have good days were I can do with out it and do.

so you can see why i get so mad when i see people abuse the system ..

What are your thoughts on this:?

How to use Your IRS Rebate check...Who's Economy? Is it suppose to Help?
Each of us will be getting a tax rebate check to stimulate the economy.If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruits and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and
Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless stuff it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the US!

BOTH TRUE - and worth reading!!!!

STORY NUMBER ONE


Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago .. Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder.

Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was Capone's lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time.

To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big, but also, Eddie got special dividends. For instance, he and his fam ily occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block.

Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him.

Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object.

And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong.. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was.

Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example.

One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify wrongs he had done.

He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al "Scarface" Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great..

So, he testified.

Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street

But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine.

The poem read:

"The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop - at late or early hour.. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still."


STORY NUMBER TWO

World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare.

He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific.

One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge an d realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank.

He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship.

His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet.

As he was returning to the mother ship he saw something that turned his blood cold: a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward the American fleet.

The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet.

Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent.

Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible and rendering them unfit to fly.

Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction.

Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier.

Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. T he film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet.

He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft.

This took place on February 20, 1942 , and for that action Butch became the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Congressional Medal of Honor.

A year late r Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and, in 1949 renamed the Chicago airport known as Orchard Depot (ORD) to O'Hare Airport in tribute to the courage of this great man.

So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2.

SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?

Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son.

(Pretty cool, huh?)

No matter what your political convictions are this is eye opener.

      What a thankless people we are!!!

     Subject: Jay Leno on President Bush (Surprising)

  Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't often see....

 

         As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark

    'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe.  It must be true given the  source, right?

           The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with  the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is  unhappy with the performance of the President.  In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?''

          A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day,  7 Days a week?

          B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
 

        C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

          D.. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time  and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
 

         E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move  through each state?
 

          F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

          G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from  around the world is just not good enough either.

          H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you  to the hospital.
 

          I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.
 

          J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.
 

          K.. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

          L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents.  Neighborhoods where  90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
 

          M.. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?

          Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

          Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen.  No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens.  They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

          I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out?   The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11?   The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession?   Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks?  The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?

          Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad?   Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.  Make no mistake about it.
 

         The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.  There is currently no draft in this country.  They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discha rge after a few days in the brig.

          So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?

           Say what you want but I blame it on the media.   If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news.  Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts.  How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations.  They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their  actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!

 

Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage.  Then start being grateful for all we have as country. There is exponentially more good than bad.  We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.'  'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'
