the black knight

Earlier today, I was grocery shopping for my mom. I was at the Food Lion on Winston Road in Lexington. As I was in line at the register, there were 2 Mexican women with 3 kids in line in front of me. 2 of the kids were well behaved, the other one was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. Neither one of the women were trying to correct him. Finally one of the other kids got him and calmed him down.

As the cashier told this woman the cost of her items, she scanned her food stamp card and punched in her pin number. The cashier told her that her food stamp card only had forty one cents on it. He then asked her if she had cash to pay for her groceries since it was WAY more than forty one cents. She then went into her pocket and pulled out a wad of bills. She handed him a hundred dollar bill. After I paid for my mom's groceries, I was walking to my 1996 Pontiac Grand Am GT. I looked at a beautiful NEW Ford F150 that was parked a few spaces up from my car, and what did I see...the Mexicans that tried paying for their groceries with food stamps, loading their groceries in the bed of this beautiful new truck!!! Now, I ask, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?!?!

It made me proud to know that my tax dollars are going to help this Mexican family have food stamps and yet drive around in a brand new pickup truck. NOT!!!!!!!!!

Earlier today, I went to Yahoo.com to check my e-mails. Just for the fun of it, I typed my name in the search bar on Yahoo's home page and hit the search button. After a second or two,  a whole list came up with people throughout the United States that have my name. What came next was really disturbing. As I scanned the list, I saw Thomasville, NC (which is the area where I live!) To make matters worse, at the end of the line, it stated my parents name and their ages. The only mistake that was on the whole line was my age. It said that I was 40 years old. Still got a few more years before I turn 40!!!!

When I saw all of this, I clicked on my name and it took me to the next page. When that one came up, it stated that it had 4 addresses for Lexington and 2 addresses for Thomasville. Yes, I lived in Lexington before moving to Thomasville. The page said for $39.95, I could get court records like copies of both of my marriage licenses, copies of my divorce, and basically anything else pertaining to me!!!

So for $39.95, you can basically steal anyone's identity!!! This is just another way for identity theft to happen!!! What do ya'll think???

This is a response for ladcrm, since he changed his settings to where we can't respond to his blogs. By changing the settings it shows me and probably everyone on this site one thing. He can dish it out, but he can't take it!!!

He is mad and whining because Emily Byrd responded to his post on if he was younger, he would shoot Obama. Emily responded just like several others did.  Back off of Emily, because she told ya the same thing I would have told ya!

By the way, you said that you would not do anymore post. That was 2 or 3 post ago!!!

As I came on to this website this morning, the first news headline that I saw said something about a 16 year old threatend to shoot some classmates at NORTH DAVIDSON high school and NORTH DAVIDSON middle school.

As ya'll know, my oldest daughter is a student at North Davidson Senior High, hence my screenname. It seems like here lately, everytime you turn on the news, there are reports of school shootings or threats of school shootings. I am glad that the assistant principal received the information apparently from some students to where he could pass it on to the SRO (school resource officer) before this thug could go through with it.

It is a shame that our kids can't go to school and not have to worry if it will happen at their schools, because yes, IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SCHOOL. It has happened at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and about a week and a half ago in Illinios just to name a few.

In the school shootings the thugs go in and shoot innocent people before turning the gun on themselves. Why waste bullets on innocent people before killing themselves? A lot of times, it is blamed on video games that have shootings in them. I guess these thugs play these video games and think it is ok to shoot the characters on the games, so it will be ok to go to school and shoot innocent classmates.

These are my questions: 1) When will it stop, and 2) What is it going to take to stop this?  ANY SUGGESTIONS? ALL RESPONSES WELCOME!!!!

PS... WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THIS HAPPENED AT YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL?
