The Bench

I Sit On The Bench
As Time Passes By
People Look Through
The Emptiness In My Eyes

This Is My Home
Away From Home
I Am Surrounded By People,
Yet I'm Still All Alone

I Cry
But No One Sees Me
I Scream Out In Pain
But No One Hears Me

I Am Like A Fly
Crawling On The Wall
Nobody Pays Attention
When I Fall

I Sit On The Bench
As Time Passes By
People Look Through
The Emptiness In My Eyes

Many People Need Debt Help In Our Neighborhood Today

The economy is bad and many people have found themselves upside down on the houses. It is a shame to see so many people who need debt help in my neighborhood. I have neighbors who bought their houses for over two hundred thousand dollars before the price of their house crashed. After they left their houses, the houses sold for seventy or eighty thousand dollars. This has happened so much in our neighborhood and it is depressing.

We are lucky we bought our house at the right time, but still the value and gone down considerably in the past few years. To make matters worse, my job pays less and everything costs more money. Gas prices have soared over the past few months and we find ourselves living from paycheck to paycheck. I don't have anything to complain about because we still have a place to live.

I remember when I was a kid my grandmother told me if we had a roof over our heads and food to eat, we will be just fine. Hopefully the economy will get better, unemployment will fall and the housing market will turn around soon. I hate to see friends and neighbors forced out of their houses because they do not have the money to pay their bills. They need debt help just to help them make it through another day.

Pet Names (Boo)

Boo is the pet name I have for my little girl. I wrote this poem when she was two. She is four now and I still call her Boo. The name stuck and the whole family calls her Boo. Pet Names are another way you can make your children feel special. This is a poem I wrote for my little girl.

Boo

Boo was two
two was Boo
I want to eat
myself a Boo

I start with her tummy
It's oh so yummy
little Boo
thinks it's really funny

I bite her nose
her little nose
little Boo giggles
No! No! No! No!

she growls back at me
my little Boo
I'm not quite sure
what I shall do

I grab her feet
and nibble her toes
little Boo nibbles back
on the end of my nose

Boo is two
two is Boo
my heart is now full
from eating my Boo

Pet Names are a fantastic way to show your children how special they are to you. We do not always get all the time we want to spend with our children. Making them feel special during those few moments in a day you have can fill your children's hearts with joy. In fact, your heart will be filled too. Enjoy your children while they are still little like my Boo. Boo was two, now she is four. Time goes by very fast, enjoy every moment.

Sad Little boy

I was a four year old
little boy
sitting in a corner
rocking back and forth
afraid for my life
my arms were crossed
my body shaking
teardrops ran down my face

I wondered what I did
to make my father 
hate me so much
what did I do
to make him hurt me
the way he did?

How to Get Rid of Ingrown Hairs

I remember when I was a few years younger. I always seemed to have a problem with ingrown hairs when I shaved my face. Ingrown hairs really hurt, look bad and are hard to get rid of. The thing you need to learn is it easier to keep ingrown hairs away. Much easier than I thought was possible. I have learned a few things over the years about shaving.

I make sure I shave my face everyday. If I don't, I can get an ingrown hair. If I let my facial hair grow too long, I get those awful ingrown hairs. I also noticed that it is important to shave before you take a shower. It is also important to use a good quality shaver. I shave, take a shower and clean my face thoroughly. Now I don't get any ingrown hairs. Some people have more trouble than I do with ingrown hairs, but you have to know the art of shaving if you really want to keep them away.

In today's world there are companies who have products that can keep those nasty ingrown hairs away. I believe if you use my simple tips and use good quality shaving products, you will no longer have a problem with ingrown hairs. Trust me, if you have ever had ingrown hairs, you would be happy to find a simple way to get rid of them.

Who Will Win the American League East Haiku: The Tampa Bay Rays

It's Spring  time again, it is time to play ball. This is a Haiku about the Tampa Bay Rays. TheTampa Bay Rays are in the American League East division of major league baseball. They finished second in the American League East last year. Evan Longoria hit into the Wild Card with the game winning hit in game 162. They lost Carl Crawford to the Boston Red Sox a year ago, but it did not hurt the team. The New York Yankees stole their closer, so they acquired another closer.

Who will win the American League East this year? Will it be the Tampa Bay Rays? Will the Boston Red Sox win it or will the New York Yankees get their pitching together? Who knows, maybe another team will come up from the basement of the American League East and shock the world. Hey Tampa Bay Rays, do you have what it takes to win this year?

Living With A Sweet Tooth

I admit it, I have a sweet tooth. I love chocolate, ice-cream and nearly every type of candy. I am a big lollipop lover. I think they taste good and they are fun. My children have followed in my footsteps. My son loves chocolate and my daughter is a big lollipop connoisseur. We are one of those families who buy too much candy and eat more than we buy. The funny thing is none of us are overweight.

Lollipops are fun and they taste good. I am amazed how far we have come with candy. Some companies have a huge variety of lollipops, enough to please everybody in the entire family. When I was a kid, we had a good variety of candy, but nothing like what we have today. Back then, you had to go to a fancy candy store to find what you wanted. Today, you go online, make a search for what you want and it arrives at your door.

Living with a sweet tooth has its problems. I spend more time at the dentist than most people. The dentist is always asking me what I bit into with my teeth. When I tell him I love lollipops, he just shakes his head. He believes I am going to ruin my teeth, but they have lasted for forty-seven years already and I still have every tooth. I think I will have a sweet tooth until the day I die, I believe it is a family trait.

Who Will Win the American League East Haiku-The Boston Red Sox

 Spring Training is over, it is time to play ball. This is a Haiku about the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox are in the American League East division of major league baseball. They finished a disappointing third place in the American League East last year. They picked up Carl Crawford in free-agency a year ago and looked to be the favorite in the American League East. The New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays both finished ahead of the Boston Red Sox. What will happen this year? Who Will Win The American League East?

The Boston Red Sox

The Green Monster-Fenway Park

Broke Bambino curse

Who will win the American League East this year? Will it be the Tampa Bay Rays? Will the Boston Red Sox win it or will the New York Yankees get their pitching together? Who knows, maybe another team will come up from the basement of the American League East and shock the world. Hey Boston Red Sox, do you have what it takes to win this year? Or has the curse of the Bambino come back to tear your hearts out once again?

Why You Should Purchase A Used Semi Truck

I always wanted to travel around the United States and sight see everything around me. I am a history buff and I love to go to places and check out the history of our country. I love Philadelphia because it was cool seeing the Liberty Bell and running up the same stairs Sylvester Stallone ran up in Rocky. I loved travelling across country and seeing Niagara Falls from the US and Canada. I think our country is the best country in the world.

I always thought it would be cool to look for used semi trucks for sale, buy them and begin a new career. I would haul goods across the country and check out all of the sites. I would go from one place to the other, make money and see all of the places in this beautiful country I always wanted to see. I would make sure I hooked up with some trips towards Las Vegas, California and other parts of the West Coast I have never seen.

I know driving trucks is hard work, but I believe it would be a good time. I heard you can make a good living on the road, save some money and check out some sites. Truck drivers are some of the coolest people in our country because they haul all of the goods we buy at the grocery and department stores. I would be a wanted and needed employee if I were a truck driver.

Translation Services Are Important In All Aspects Of Our Lives

Some friends and I work as in the stands beer vendors in most of the sports stadiums in Florida. We love our jobs, but sometimes we have trouble understanding some of the people who come to the games. Once in awhile we get a bunch of Spanish people who barely speak English asking for beer. The problem is we have trouble understanding their broken up English and their accents. It often gets to the point where the people actually have to point to the beer they want and we have to point to our price buttons to  complete the transactions.


We thought about taking Spanish classes or getting a program that teaches us Spanish. Most of us want to learn Spanish so we can communicate better with some of our customers. When we go to Miami, we get complete sections of people who can hardly speak or understand English. If we took one of those Spanish classes or bought the Rosetta Stone, we would be able to make more money because we would not have to spend so much time per transaction.


Punjabi translation service is located in London. They help companies with translation services. They are the company who can translate everything for your company. They have talented people who are experts in the translation field and the company is only one of a few that is ISO certified. In our vending work, we hope to be able to learn enough Spanish to understand a few customers who have trouble ordering beer from us. This company already has the tool needed to give your company the best translation services in the business. Check them out and see what they have to offer you and your company.

Time To Prepare For My Daughter's Birthday In June

My daughter will be six in June. She wants to have a birthday party and invite her friends from school. She has never had a birthday party with friends and this is really important to her. She talks about her birthday nearly every day and she looks forward to turning six years old. We need to get birthday invitations soon because June will be here before we know it. My daughter is so excited about her birthday and looks forward to the moment when she opens the door and invites her friends into our house.

The gift list for my daughter is impossible. She wants more stuff than we could ever afford. She wants the usual toys, a DSL and even an iPad of her own. We will get her some nice gifts, but she still doesn't understand how much things costs. If we got her all of the things she wanted for her birthday, we would have to take out a loan. Little girls like mine are fun, but they expect a lot and when they don't get it, they often get emotional.

The good thing is my daughter will be satisfied with the gifts she gets on her birthday. She has huge dreams, but she knows her family is not rich and they love her. She will be happy with her gifts as long as her friends are here to celebrate her birthday with her. We will be getting the birthday invitations soon because my daughter wants to fill them out herself for her friends.

I look forward to June and my daughter's birthday. She is growing up so fast, so we want to enjoy every minute we can with her. This birthday is important to her, but what she doesn't realize yet is it is just as important to her parents. We look forward to the memories of this birthday and every birthday to come.

Since She Died (Poetry)

I Haven't Seen You 
Since She Died 
I Held Her Hand 
And Cried Inside 

She Was The One 
Who Molded Me 
Into The Man 
I Was Meant To Be 

Every Night 
She Said Her Prayers 
On Bended Knee 
To The One Upstairs 

Where Have You Been? 
What Have You Done? 
Why Are You Hiding 
From Your Son? 

I Haven't Seen You 
Since She Died 
When I Held Her Hand 
And Cried Inside

My Teenage Girl Hates To Deal With Acne

Teenagers and acne do not mix. My sixteen year old daughter hates dealing with Acne, but it happens. It is a part of life, but my daughter hates it anyway.

A Happer Nappers Happy Review

I was sent a Happy Napper for my daughter. We were sent Bungalow to Ladybug. I made the mistake of telling my child before it was sent and she bugged me every day when the mailman came. Luckily for me, the Happy Napper arrived quickly. My five year old daughter Khloe's face lit up when we opened the package.

We were also sent the cute little Happy Napper bear that sings the Happy Napper song. The bear is very cute, but the song does get annoying after you hear it a thousand or more times.

As you can see by the pics, both my children love the Happy Napper and the Happy Napper bear.

As you can see, the Happy Napper is a pillow and you can change it into a cute little stuffed animal. My children love it because it is cute and they make it a part of their favorite stuffed animals + they sleep with the Happy Napper.

You can buy Happy Nappers at their official website, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, eBay, etc. They are reasonable at $14.19 and your kids will love them too.

It is always great to have a sleeping toy, that is two toys in one. Your children sleep on the pillow, play with the stuffed animal and sing along with the singing Happy Napper bear. I wonder how many of thousands of times that bear can really sing.

Thank You Happy Nappers people for sending us this great toy...... We Love It!

The Benefits of a New Gas Water Heater

I had an electric water heater in my house and one morning the hot water disappeared. I needed Water Heater Repair, but I did not want to pay for it. I called my brother and asked him what to do. He told me to look at the elements in my hot water heater. He talked me through it and by the afternoon I had hot water. I hated to do the work myself, but it was a quick fix. I was able to take a hot shower, do my dishes and wash my clothes. After awhile, I forgot I had a problem with my water heater.

A few months later, the problem reared its ugly head again. The hot water was gone and I was frustrated. I decided it was time for Water Heater Replacement. I called the plumber and he was there within an hour. He checked out the situation and told me I should change to a new gas water heater. He said we already had the hook-ups, our house was already hooked up to natural gas.

He hooked it up and we have not had another problem with hot water since. I am really happy we called the local plumber and we changed to a new gas water heater. The cost of the product was worth it, we have had our gas water heater for eight years and have not had one problem with it. I am so glad I never have to worry about changing the elements in an electric water heater ever again.

Is There Really Life After Death?

I am a Christian and I am afraid of dying. I am told my fears come from a horrible childhood. Jesus would tell me, I have a lack of faith. I also believe He would understand my heart. I read a passage in the Bible the other day and I cannot stop reading it. It excites me and comforts me at the same time. The passage is in the eleventh chapter of John.

The story is about Lazarus. Lazarus was dying and his two sisters wanted Jesus to save him. Mary and Martha had complete faith in the power of Jesus. They believed in Him with all their hearts. Jesus arrived after Lazarus died. However, Jesus told everybody Lazarus was not dead, he was just sleeping. The people thought Jesus was a little mad. Lazarus had been in his tomb for four days. Jesus knew Lazarus had died, but his death was not for forever. Lazarus was asleep for a time.

Jesus told Martha that her brother would rise again. Martha said she knew Lazarus would rise again in the resurrection or the last day. This is where the good part comes in. “Jesus said to her. ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die-ever. Do you believe this?’ ‘Yes , Lord,’ she told Him, ‘I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.’ “ (John 11:25-27 The Apologetics Study Bible).

Everybody knows the story about how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. This was one of the greatest miracles Jesus performed here on earth. Lazarus had been dead for four days and Jesus had the power to raise him from the dead. This story teaches us a lesson. Jesus is teaching us an important lesson. Jesus is our savior. He died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. He rose from the dead and defeated Satan. Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. He is God. Jesus is part of the three in one. The three in one is The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Jesus has the full power of God at his disposal.

In this scripture Jesus was telling us that if we believe in Him, even if we die, we will live. He will raise all of us up on the last day. He is telling us we will never really die. Our death is a sort of sleep. We will sleep until Jesus returns and raises all of us up into eternal life. We will live with him in Heaven for eternity. This is a promise all Christians can believe in.

This scripture taught me a lesson about faith. Yes, I am a Christian. Yes, I have a fear of death. Yes, Jesus has the power to defeat even death. As a Christian, there really is nothing for us to be afraid of. Jesus is on our team. He is God. He promised he would raise each one of us up on the last day. The most important thing is for us to believe in Him. Without Him we can do nothing. With Him all things are possible.

Now Is The Time To Invest In Short Sales

I have noticed a ton of short sales in Florida over the past two years. An incredible amount of people need to get rid of their homes fast for one reason or another. Often the person is upside down in their house and they just want to get rid of it before they lose too much money. I thought it was just Florida homeowners who were losing their houses until we decided to take a trip to Las Vegas.

We took a drive in the Las Vegas area because I had never been there and I wanted to see more than just casinos. I was amazed when I saw short sale Las Vegas all over the place. The people in Las Vegas were obviously having the same problems with housing as we have in Florida. I checked the newspaper for las vegas short sale and they were numerous. I was a bit depressed seeing how many people were having to sell their houses, but situations like this are good for people who want to invest. If you are an investor, this is the time to invest in short sales.

The housing area of our economy has fallen apart for many reasons, but it is a good investment opportunity. It would be cool to buy a house that was worth a quarter of a million dollars for fifty or sixty thousand dollars. I have seen these types of opportunities all over the place. I actually have friends looking into short sales in Florida and Nevada,  they have already picked up a few houses. If you have the cash, this is the time to invest in the housing market.

Future steel buildings

I have heard all kinds of good things about steel buildings lately. Steel buildings are stronger than your average building, they are cheaper and they last a long time. Steel buildings can hold up to rough weather situations and they last a long time. I have seen steel buildings popping up all over the place the past few years and they really look good. I am impressed with the construction and the looks of steel buildings. I can't wait to see future steel buildings go up in our neighborhood.

A couple of years ago, this new automobile work shop opened up. It was different than the rest because it was made out of steel. When I looked at the building, it looked impressive. I could tell it would last for a very long time. I went into the office and talked to the owner. He told me he chose to build his business out of steel because of the cost and because we lived in an area where there was always a bunch of dangerous storms. He told me he believed his business would stand up to anything that came his way.

I was impressed with the man's confidence and his intelligence. He was preparing his business for the future. I believe future steel buildings will be bigger and better than those of today. Once people realize the value and security of steel, they will choose to build out of steel. I am one of those people who always pays attention to every new building and business they build in our neighborhood. I can't wait to see more steel buildings built near to where we live.

We Found A Cool New And Used Car Website On Our Trip To Utah

My brother and I love to look at new and used cars, it's a hobby we share. We took a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah a couple of months ago. When we travel, we look for the best new and used car websites, so we can indulge in our hobby. We found a cool new and used car website called Shop 4 Used Cars dot com that had all of the information to feed our hobby. We looked up some places and were ready to check out some cool new and used cars.

We went to Ken Garff Honda Downtown in Salt Lake City because my brother saw a Honda Ridgeline he wanted to check out. I went along for the ride even though I am not a huge fan of the Ridgeline. We took a taxi from the hotel and were dropped off right in front of the dealership. The salesman was cool and he showed us the Honda Ridgeline we saw on the website. He also showed us some other cool vehicles we did not see on the site. He said they just got them in the other day and did not have time to put them online. I was tempted to buy a Mini-Cooper, but home was far away and I didn't want to have to ship the car all the way to Florida. We are often tempted by cool cars we see on the road.

The salesman said he was going to another Ken Garff dealership and asked if we wanted to check out some of the new cars they got in. The place was called Ken Garff Volvo and they just got some cool Jags in from the Salt Lake City area. We checked them over and my brother was the one who was tempted this time. He found an Jag that he wanted more than anything. We held off buying because of the distance, but made plans to drive back in the future to try to make a deal with the excellent salesman we met at the place. If you are in Utah and you love cars, you will have to check out this excellent website. It has links to some of the best cars you can buy in the Salt Lake City are.

President Obama vs. Mitt Romney Meet In The Center of The Ring (Humor)

Announcer-In this corner we have President Barrack Obama, his hobbies are taking time for vacation, spending money and playing golf, he is a good family man with confusing Christian beliefs. The President tells us he is a Christian, but votes for Gay marriage, abortion and bows to Muslim dignitaries.


In the other corner is Mitt Romney, he is one of the one percent. He has more money than God and has his own way to worship God. Mitt Romney is a Mormon and he is proud of it. Mitt Romney created Obamacare before it was Obamacare. On the other hand, he has created jobs for many people and he is a good family man. His wife has not had to work a day in her entire life, but has spent time bring up the Romney children which is quite a job in itself.


The two men meet in the middle of the ring and refuse to shake each other's hands. President Obama dances around the ring like Muhammad Ali, while Mitt Romney looks like he is afraid to mess up his hair. Who will win this battle of attrition?


President Obama-Your wife is unemployed


Mitt Romney-That is because of your economic programs. You are making sure there are no jobs for women in our economy. Your wife is fat and your mom wears combat boots. Your father is not a citizen and your are not qualified to be the President of The United States. He sticks his tongue out at the President and dances around the ring.


President Obama-At least my wife works


Mitt Romney-When she's not on vacation


President Obama-You are rich and I am going to tax you so much that your wife will have to go out and get her first job. You don't pay your fair share of taxes and I will make sure you do.


Mitt Romney-Making money in our country is important. I have created more jobs in my personal businesses than you have created in four years in the White House. You are the welfare and food stamp President. You take from the rich and give to the poor. Who would ever have though that Robin Hood would become President of The United States?


President Obama-68 million people believe I am the change they can believe in. All you are is a rich man who is a member of a cult. I am an ordinary American who believes in God.


Mitt Romney-If you want to bring religion into this, don't make believe you are a Christian and then live like a Muslim. You act like you hate Christians, so how are you really a Christian?


President Obama- I am a Christian because I say I am a Christian. I separate church and state, this means I can be a Christian and vote for anything I want within our government. I keep my personal beliefs at home where they belong.


Mitt Romney-Have I told you your wife is fat yet?


President Obama-I am going to punch you so hard your unemployed wife is going to feel it. (President Obama dances around Mitt Romney) I am the king of the world and don't your forget it!


Mitt Romney-Your government is almost as big as your wife's behind


President Obama-I bet my wife could take your unemployed wife. You think my government is big now, wait until I take all of your money and all of your friend's money away from all of you. Wait until my Health Care program goes through. You and your wife will have to stand in line and I will make sure you don't even get a taste of health care. Don't get on my bad side Mitt, you won't like me when I am angry.


Announcer-Mitt Romney jumps out of the ring and steals President Obama's teleprompter. He slams it on the ground and breaks the teleprompter into pieces.


Mitt Romney-What do you think about that Barrack?


President Obama- Uh Oh Uh Oh Uh Oh ummmmmm. I'm getting angry.....


Mitt Romney-Obama Care sucks and the Supreme Court is going to tell you what to do with your Obamacare


President Obama-Romney care sucks too


Mitt Romney-At least I gave people a choice. I did not shove it down their throats


President Obama-Yeah, but I am President of The United States. What do you think about those cookies? Wait until I make you eat them..... The entire world will eat those cookies because I want them too.....


Announcer-The teleprompter is back


President Obama-I apologize about those comments. I meant to say Obamacare will make sure all people have the chance to have good healthcare


Mitt Romney-Except handicapped people, old people and the people you don't think need government healthcare. Obamacare will be a death sentence for many people and millions will die


President Obama-Only you and your unemployed wife, (President Obama giggles to himself)


Announcer-The crowd is getting restless. Many are chanting Obama. One of the people in the crowd bit me. I realized too late it was an Obama Zombie. I have to sign off before it is too late. The chanting gets louder.
Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama.....


President Obama is laughing happily while Obama Zombies are attacking Mitt Romney. They push him to the ground. His hair falls out of place. Mitt Romney tries to fix his hair. An Obama Zombie bites his hand off. Obama Zombies are all over Mitt Romney. They attack him, they eat him, they take care of him for President Obama.
 President Barrack Obama stands in the middle of the ring, Obama Zombies are  bowing to him. He is smiling, he is laughing, he is victorious Another four years of this, hide in your houses, hide your guns, hide your Bibles. Obama has won. It is over, hide your food. Michelle Obama is hungry...........
