There was a recall ordered for my car. Something about the door panels, and a potential safety hazard. So I made the appointment for bright and early this morning. And then I was told the work would take three hours, and that specific recall did not warrant a loaner car. grrrrr
I brought my tablet to play games on, sat down and the waiting game began.
Okay, I could have taken the courtesy shuttle some where, but where is there to go at 8:15am? Then I would have to wait for them to pick me back up. So, I chose to stay at the dealership. Chairs were comfy, they had snack and drink machines, hot coffee, and free Wi-Fi. It couldn't be all that bad.
In my three hours, I saw elderly people, young people, really people of all walks of life. They were in and out, I literally out lasted them all.
A mother who did not know how to discipline her two year old son, let him play on her cell phone, and run around crazy.-Mine never did that.
I got quasi indoctrinated by the endless cycle of CNN, over and over and over, the same stories..
Rush Limbaugh was right, the MSM will focus on the Illinois tornadoes and get the public off Obamacare.
But then the next story was of the woman who Obama highlighted as a Obamacare success, only to find out she really was not a success.
CNN also reported that today is the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, and why is Obama not attending when he touted himself to be just like Lincoln... well they did report he is part of the growing community that wants all citizens to memorize the Gettysburg Address
I think it is more important that we learn the Pledge of Allegiance first and keep it in schools.
They showed the serial killer who shot Larry Flynn the Penthouse Magazine publisher, and how the guy is scheduled to die. Good! Another person that the tax payers no longer have to pay for. But Ole Larry feels sorry for him and does not believe in the death penalty so he is petitioning the CA Governor to halt the execution.
Then the stories played all over again-That is why I Like Fox News, they don't do that.
Finally after my three hour wait "Ma'am your car is ready, but it looks like you will need a new battery"
"well how much is it" ?
" $123.00"
" ummm I will pass my husband can take care of it"
I know how dealerships work, they get you coming and going. I paid, was up and outta that place. Stopped and got lunch for Senior and I.
Enjoy the rest of your day folks, and please tell me no more CNN! : )

This is What is coming down to -Part 2
"Some of the worst things Imaginable, have started off with the best intentions"
-Dr. Grant, "Jurassic Park"
Yesterdays blog post opened up a huge discussion on the issue of privacy with social media pages, and cell phone applications. It also reminds me of the above quote. And how things that were meant to make our life easier and create a more connected society--really isn't working out the way we the cizitens thought they would.
Another blogger this morning Old NFO has a good post about it, with some articles from CNN and FOX.
During our comments from part 1 of the subject, Matt mentioned an issue with the facebook automatic update. He later emailed me the below image. Thanks Matt for doing that. I have a few apps myself that will do an auto update, and now I am wanting to delete them off. I am also going through my facebook page and making major deletions of photos and any videos I have.
Read, it and understand it well folks... It can record, and take pictures without your confirmation..think about the repercussions of this. You could have your phone sitting on the bathroom counter and be getting out of the shower and it could snap a pic.
Our boys have an Xbox 360. It was a former employee of ours who one day said " You know, if I was you, when its not in use I would turn the sensor portion backwards"
We inquired as to why. And he explained that even though its not in use, it has a camera, and some one could hack in to it and see every thing we are doing.... So, since that day. When the boys are done playing-it gets turned back around and faces away from the living room.
Another thing I don't like is Red Light Cameras. You run one and they have your tag number and can get your address. I don't know the ins and outs of how they work, but you get some nutjob who is responsible for mailing out the tickets, and now they have your address... Scary to think about!
So, like Ole NFO said.."We have no more privacy". Nothing is sacred anymore. They have enticed us with social media and we in turn have thrown our entire lives out there for the world to see.
