Cowboys last chance

Cowboys have to beat the eagles today to make the playoffs cowboys were 13 and 3 last year this would be a step backwards plus they haven't won a playoff game in a long time

DID SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE GO TO FAR

The governor paterson skit was criticized by governor paterson and advocates for the blind.Paterson told reporters he can take a joke but he called the snl skit a third grade depiction of people and the way they look that could lead others to believe that disability goes hand in hand with an inability to run a goverment or business.I run the place i work in so i dont have to worry about being discriminated against paterson noted.The national federation for the blind considers the snl skit a attack on all blind americans.they also say he looks like hes disoriented and befuddled because of his blindness.I dont agree snl makes fun of everyone people with mental illness,retarded people deaf people hes portrayed befuddled because of past behavior by him

WINNING CURES EVERYTHING

Dallas beat the giants sunday 20 to 8 it was a great defensive game for both teams both quarterbacks were roughed up.The real fireworks were after the game with terrell owens interview.Terrell called the teams inner conflict a fabrication of the media.He said honestly i dont know where any of that stuff came from.When told Ed Werder first broke the story.Terrell told the media it was a lack of professionalism by werder.He also called him a dirty filthy liar.He was also asked about the fans booing him he said ask Ed werder.Wade philips jokingly added i think they kissed and made up.The cowboys control their own fate getting in the playoffs.

Cowboys need win bad this weekend

Cowboys have a big game against the giants Sunday.The cowboys need the win in order to have even a slight chance of making the playoffs.The cowboys are in turmoil with Owens acting out against his quarterback like he did in sanfransisco and Philly the giants don't want to lose two games in a row this late in the season this is a huge game for the cowboys that may have implications for years to come

Good old days

Today I went to my moms house and my grandmothers brothers daughter came up and another of my moms friends came up and they were making all kinds of Italian cookies.they were looking at my gramas and her friends recipies from 60 years ago.they didn't measure in their recipies they said details like a pinch of this and handfull of flour they talked about how the Italian ladies would all bake together and share recipies name the recipe after the person like mrs rossi biscottis the men would play cards on the porch and they talked about how my greatgrandfather made wine inthe cellar during prohibition and in the depression many family members would move in together 11 were in the house at one point it was fun hearing them talk about the old days in a lot of ways they are better than today

BOYS CANT AFFORD TOYS

Up at keuka lake people didnt see many boats or jetskis people having a lot of fun in the water.People couldnt afford it with gas prices so high this summer.People couldnt even drive up to the lake.I wonder if the holiday season will be bad this year for stores.Maybe people wont be able to afford a big christmas for their kids or even any christmas.Maybe stores will have to let go holiday help early and even let people go who worked places a long time.I know christmas has become very materialistic and the meaning has been lost.Maybe the bad economy will bring us back to the true meaning of christmas.

KEUKA LAKE TAXES

This is beautiful keuka lake the cottages were reassessed this year and taxes went way up.For people to afford these cottages they will have to rent them for a month out of the summer.

MY DOG RINGO

We got ringo in 1993 shes a beagle mix she just now is slowing down

EMPTY DOWNTOWN ELMIRA

All the stores have moved up to consumer square in horseheads.Like walmart,bestbuy,circuit city and the mall and movie theatre.Downtown elmira has become a ghost town.

RECEPTION AT ST ANTHONYS LAST MASS

PACMAN JONES ISNT WORTH THE DISTRACTION

Adam jones is causing the cowboys to be distracted from their goal of winning the superbowl.The cowboys already have the qb hurt the punter and another corner back hurt.Jones isnt even playing that good dallas has drafted two rookie corner backs and has newman.They bought more insurance getting a receiver from the lions.Let pacman go and get help dakkas will be better off.

CASHIER SUCKS

Ive been a cashier at walmart now three weeks.I dont like like it very much people are very rude ive noticed they are also very impatient.ID LIKE TO MOVE TO ANOTHER JOB AT WALMART BUT they say theres nothing available.My job specialist scott has been talking to my supervisor nate i hope to not be a cashier much longer

DIABETES

I have had diabetes for about a year now i take janumet i was taking byetta but didnt like giving myself the shots.These pictured are very important tools for diabetics i forget to test tho but i can tell when my sugar is high.I see my medical dr evert 4 months i see a specialist in diabetes twice a year.I have to be seen more often by a foot dr and eye dr because diabetes effects my sight and feet and organs.

IS PACMAN KILLING COWBOYS

Is the cowboys getting pacman jones killing the cowboys?The cowboys are very talented now they lost two in a row why

WEGMANS VS WALMART

I have worked as a cashier at both walmart and wegmans they have two different philosophies on training people.Walmart has a long orientation teaching you the job with computer based learning.You have to complete a certain number of computer courses before you start your job.Then they throw you right on the register and you have a person bagging for you for 3 days.Then you are expected to do the job.Wegmans has a orientation day then as a group you are trained on the cash register.They go over a training book and we practice with each other taking each other as customers.Then after a week we take real customers but we have a sign on our registers telling we are trainees.I like wegmans way a lot better.

WAR WHATS IT GOOD FOR

When i was 18 i didnt want to sign up for selective service.My grandfather was mad at me he told me its a honor to service your country and your duty.Both my grandfathers served in wwII and i have other family in the army now.I guess if i want to enjoy freedom it is my duty if called to serve my country.

MCCAIN REPORT CARD

Mccain wants to make across the board cuts in programs except in veteran programs and a few other vital programs.According to veteran report card groups Mccain gets a D on his support of veteran programs.Obama received a B. Mccain is disabled in a way from war injuries.This was suggested by a person who commented on my post.True there is a lot of fraud in these programs people want money for nothing and put the burden on other people.Mccain has a lot of money and can afford the best medical programs.A person like me taking a lot of medicines feels a pinch on his pocket.At walmart i have to fill out a accommadation packet and have dr note to affirm the diagnosis.

CINDY MCcAIN

The McCains are getting desperate i think talking about Obama not supporting the troops.I dont believe we should be in this war but i do believe we should fully support the troops.Do you people think Palin is hurting or helping Mccain.Do you think Tina fey playing Palin had any effect?

DEBATE 10/7/08

Tell me if im wrong but i think McCain was saying he wants to cut entilments like ssd and ssi and food stamps and welfare.Many people really need those programs He said he dosent wanna cut veterans programs i dont feel thats fair.McCain seems very stiff like a puppet to me and a big phony what do you guys think.

INTERVIEW AT WALMART

Walmarts interview process is stricter than most.Three people from management interview you and take notes about you.The questions asked arent the normal questions like tell us about yourself or where do you wanna be in 10 years.The questions are prewritten they ask about naming different times in the past about work experiences example tell me a time you helped a customer without being asked.After the first interview the management goes in a room and talks about you getting the job.Then if you get past the first interview more form questions about previous work experience.These questions are more about safety and rules.Then they extend you a job offer and ask if you will submit to a drug test and background check.The drug test is very strict once you are at the place you cant leave the place until you do the test.You get to drink no more than 2 bottles of water all the water is turned off in the bathroom and you have to empty your pockets before the test.

SORRY

Sorry i havent posted anything lately but i was offered a job as a cashier at walmart its been stressful im just learning and have made a lot of mistakes my job coach from capabilities scott is a big help.I dont know what id do without capabilities and vesid they are great at help disabled people be successful at working
