Ok I have been watching the government doing their best to spend our money. This one is going to top anything I thought I would ever witness in my lifetime. I know those in Washington call the shots and they are all very educated but to me I feel like they are not connecting their intelligence to our goals. I get the big picture so don’t worry, I promise I am no fool. So with big numbers like a possible $850B stimulus package look at us in the face we are looking to bolster jobs, repair roads, up the anti on schools and education, and take on lots of domestic projects. As a non-democrat I still stand and applaud the efforts to jump start our domestic programs which has been missing for a long time. We have been a country of taking care of others before ourselves for far to long. (It’s a secret, I am actually starting to dig Obama a little…but don’t tell anyone.) Continue reading this post…

I know my readers are just dying to hear what I did on Black Friday so I decided to write a little about my day to show my personal side a bit more. As I heard endless commercials through the week in preparation for Black Friday I waited anxiously for the day of unbelievable sales to smother me in a bank account draining passion. I thought about people stampeding me to get that extra 20% off on the hair dryer, and the deep discount on the plasma TV. I barely could sleep Thursday night, but this is mostly attributed to my knee aches and borderline restless leg syndrome. Continue reading this post…

John McCain made a gracious showing at his concession speech.  His words and gesticulation displayed his true colors; a genuine American hero, through and through.  He displayed the honor and nobility of a defeated soldier, laying down his saber after a long and heartfelt battle.  Unfortunately, this solemn gesture of respect was lost to a chorus of booing and miscellaneous profanities.  The whole production embodied, why I couldn’t support him, this time around.  It wasn’t because of the man, as I’d long been a fan of the only Republican you could trust to give you a straight answer.  I was even rooting for his nomination in the 2000 primaries.  It wasn’t because I was in love with Obama, as I felt his promises to be a little too sugary sweet.  You could normally say, “You can judge a person by the company they keep.”, but John McCain is not the same kind of person, as the man in the audience that yelled “Kill’em” when Obama’s name was mentioned at a campaign rally.  In this case, it can be said, “You can judge a policy by the people it’s selling.”  His message wanted us petty, fearful and full of hatred for our fellow man.  His message brought out the ugliest parts of our natures, while his opponent’s brought out the best.  Continue reading this post…

Lately I found myself watching infomercials more as the election is getting near. I figured if I was going to hear sales pitches all night I might as well hear it from a guy I actually want something from. That being said last night I was curled up comfortably in my bed watching TV and Shamwow came on. Holy shit! Vince is incredible. I wish I could hire him and send him into places I sell things to. I would make him wear that giant microphone everywhere he went even if it wasn’t even plugged in. That would actually just be part of the dress code: Polo shirt, slacks, and a giant black microphone that covers half your face. Continue reading this post…

Today’s music world is not like what many of us grew up with. We have moved from vinyl to 8 tracks then over to cassettes to finally come to a resting stop using CD’s. The music industry has enjoyed years of profits from a physical medium which music rides on. The difference in today’s world is they are at a loss with today’s digital world. Instead of embracing the digital world in which a majority of people are able to download from the internet they turn to another physical medium.

Today’s announcement of releasing albums on SanDisk memory cards couldn’t be further from reality of what really needs to be done. It’s said that you will be provided with ways to unlock music using a dongle and buy these 1GB memory cards at the same price of a current CD. These companies’s don’t get it. We don’t need more memory cards. Many people have plenty in which we download music onto them and have the ability to delete and replace with music we like. Why would any smart business person think this is going to be profitable? Continue reading this post…

You heard this Republican guy right, I finally found him. All this hoopla about change, a woman possibly being the President, or how McCain is too old and he slipped right by. I was enjoying my evening with Glenn Beck this evening (which I always enjoy). He did a full hour with Bob Barr on his evening show. He asked all the real questions and did a fantastic one on one. This guy is awesome, no I take that back. This guy is fucking awesome! Why do I say this? He is what I was looking for this whole time. I gave him a standing ovation at the end of the program, which I admit there was no reason to since I was alone. This guy deserves the big F’n awesome. That’s highly reserved though for someone special. Continue reading this post…

Well today I go to my favorite gas station….they actually still pump the gas for you. I pull in and see the guy out at the sign I figure he is out there changing the per gallon cost since it dropped .12 cents. Nope he was putting up “”CLOSED” I could not believe it. Knowing the owner for years I go in to find out what is going on. He says I am losing too much money, I can not afford to stay open.

When gas prices first started to rise his cost was .1 cent higher and I understand he was a full service station. Then as the prices kept growing and growing he removed the penny and set his prices to the same as the self service stations here in town. We had 4 gas stations in our small town all self service but his. Now we have 3 self service only.

I have seen over the past 2 years several small businesses close in our town and a few larger ones. But I have to admit I was pretty shocked at the closing of this gas station they had been in business for over 50 years. So one less station and 6 more unemployed.

I had the luxury of reading that our congressional arm to include both the Congress and House of Representatives has hit an all time low of 12%. This is the lowest number in history for an institution. Yet, with speculation from our leaders there, the main reason for this low is the economy, high gas prices, and the war. I guess they skim over things like a steroid chase in major league sports. There seems to be no regard that the American public could care less about Roger Clemens and his testimony in Congress.

As a small business owner in a very competitive business each day is filled with stress! Not to mention complaints, problems and much humor. With today’s economy and all the events, and changes taking place everyone needs to vent about the things they like and the things they do not like, even a female small business owner.

With that said I come to Adam’s World and vent about things my way! The REAL way I feel and not a cleaned up version of how I feel.
If I want to say shit or damn and maybe even $4.19 for a gallon of gas this just sucks…I can! Because it is true and that is exactly how I feel!
If I want to say why should I vote? Popular vote don’t count for shit! That is how I feel!
If I want to say my favorite TV show is “Hell’s Kitchen” I can even if Ramsey says the “F” word!

If I say something you don’t like. Then comment on it that’s what it’s there for. If you don’t want to comment on Adam’s World then don’t bitch about what I say or write!
If you write something I don’t like or I disagree with I will comment. Hell I am an adult and I know everyone has his or her own views.

I write how I feel about something, I do not get vulgar, and I do not use the “F” word. I do not have to back up my views with facts! I rant and rave and release my stress! That’s why I like Adam’s World.

We used to have just a regular Walmart nice choice of pretty much everything but groceries. So some dumb shit decided we needed a Super Walmart. Now mind you we are a small town population of 5037 in 2000 I am guessing less now. Anyway we had 2 very nice grocery stores an IGA and a Marsh Super Market. So hello Super Walmart and good-bye 2 grocery stores. So I go to Walmart looking for clips for my flag pole…no luck. So I thought ok maybe if I look for a American flag or flag kit the clips would be close to that. Continue reading this post…
