I'm having a problem and wonder if anyone else has faced the same thing. I recently was given a powerchair that holds an oxygen tank because of my COPD. Lately I've returned home and found my airtank turned off. Now if you wondered what would happen I will tell you. Nothing as it just keeps ones oxygen level at a safe range. If it was bad enough to cause me harm I would be in a hospital. Now I find it hard to believe some ignorant punks are out there doing this.
What I find hard to believe is that they are risking their freedom to pull a prank. If caught I can sue them and win. So the next time you think it would be cute think again. If you see someone doing this do us a favor and turn the person or persons in and help make it safe for us to go out. TS

Many times you say things then ignore the ones who need help. Because I'm her father was no help in 1987 when my wife left town with "our"/"MY" daughter. The PD said it was a civil matter and my anger at such stupidity is why I left town.
Years later I search for my daughter and I'm IGNORED by all I contact. Then I hear this from Dr. Phil's own mouth, BECAUSE YOU'RE HER FATHER! Don't you know that it takes money to be a father. At least that's the first thing everyone wants to know. Yes I dropped the ball on that point. In my mind it would be like paying for groceries and starving. If she chose to leave town then she chose to have society pay for it. How does society deal with it? BY GIVING HER WHAT SHE WANTS! Society needs to give us men back our "Balls" as well as our choice to be a parent.
As I get ready to post the idea of child support rears its ugly head. If a wife causes a man to lose his job should she not be required to pay? NO society picks up the tab and always has. What is it about be equal rights that allows for the excuse "because I'm a woman"? I'm physically disabled and can't use that as an excuse in fact it's generally held against me even though I'm exerting more effort than the non-handicapped. But that will go over your heads as well. Thanks again Dr. Phil for a forum to air my grievances!

When did it become OK to ignore a request to put out a cigarette? Today I was visiting my favorite casino when a man sat down with a cigarette. Now as an ex smoker I found this to be arrogant and rude as I am on oxygen 24/7. When I showed him my tank and asked him if he would put out his cigarette he flat out said NO. This was just flat out rude and he furthermore stated that it was his right to smoke and if I did not like it TOUGH! What really angered me was his using the law to protect his right to smoke. Now I'm all for his rights untill he sat down where I was sitting and blew smoke in my direction.
Those of you who know me understand that I do not back down. Now imagine me with oxygen telling this idiot off and inviting him outside and we could settle it there. Yes I did and no he declined and again stated "I'm an American and I have rights!" I took what was left of my money and left knowing the law was on his side. WHAT A PUTZ!
Now to put an end to this I say we write a law forbidding anyone from smoking after being asked to put it out. I'm not talking about me sitting down next to a smoker. I'm talking about already seated and a smoker invading my space. What would really be nice is to have a nonsmoking area in the casino. Since they don't I should have personal space rights. Whats my solution. I'm buying a fan and will use it when neccesary! TS

Blondes Go On

I urgently needed a few days off work, But, I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "Crazy" Then he would tell me to take a few days off.



So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who is blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, So, that the Boss might think I was "Crazy" and give me a few days off.



A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, "What in the name of heaven are you doing?"



I told him I was a light bulb.



He said, "You are clearly stressed out." Go home and recuperate for a couple of days."



I jumped down and walked out of the office...



When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her, "And where do you think you're going?!"



(You're gonna love this....)



She said, "I'm going home,too. I can't work in the dark.
