Somebody needs her tubes tied and that right quickly!  I hope she loses her kids, permanently!

Fucking Idiot was too gentle a term, IMO!

No shit!

(behind the scenes) Here, kids, take these plastic bags, this bucket of water, ice picks, razor blades. Here's a rope to put around your necks, now, go play on the highway.


back to reality:

There's a couple of kids, down the block who have a four year old, now. Last year, I was out walking and I saw this child out near the road, but still in their yard, naked, with dried shit on her butt, just sitting there crying "Where Momma?".

Mommy, dearest, had left her taking a nap while she went to the store. I asked the people in the neighborhood WTF and one said she knew her would take care of her, but I found out it wasn't the mother, so I called the cops. I probably started a lot of trouble for a couple of, otherwise, innocent kids whose worst crime was having no business being parents, but I wanted a police report of the incident. It felt good to be the asshole, that day. It was thirty minutes, before Mommy, dearest, returned from the store.

You did the right thing, as a nurse I am required by law to report anything like that!  I would try to be objective, but, what you describe is out and out neglect!

I only considered other options for a few seconds, after I figured out that the first woman was not the mother. I can see a child getting out of sight and in danger for a moment, but not a full minute and not over thirty minutes, definitely. That little girl was so scared, that she hugged onto me, a total stranger, like a boa constrictor when I picked her up. There was really no other choice, but to call the police for documentation, if nothing else.

God, that makes me so fucking mad!  If people can't take care of a child, then they shouldn't be in the baby making business!

Frasier: Niles, you know what, you should leave.  You're embarrassing
         yourself, for God's sakes
  Niles: I'm never leaving while you're still not leaving.  You know
         you had the good bed.
Frasier: Well, now you're just hallucinating.
  Niles: When we moved to Wallace Lane and we shared a room and you
         got to pick where you would be to having your... sleeping.
         [puts his left elbow in the butter]
Frasier: Niles, the beds were identical.  Oh, why am I even bothering,
         explaining this to a man who has his elbow in the butter!
  Niles: [shows Frasier his other, right, elbow] Well, who's [slurred]
         hallucinationing now?

A word to the wise:

When one side of your battery harness goes, fix BOTH sides. Get both terminals cleaned, get both sets of wires replaced. Trust me. It's a relatively cheap fix, and it's utterly worth it.

Well, the car is fixed, for the first time this new year, the second time in a week, and like the fourth time this month.  And my cold is receeding.  It all worked out.  It still kinda sucked to have to camp out at Stop and Shop for an hour and a half, though.

If you have an American car or some Japanese shit: buy a Euro car. If you can't afford a Mercedes, buy a Volvo.

I'm getting a 1996 Infiniti G20 with about 70K miles on it.  Please don't tell me those cars are shit because I can't really get anything else right now.  The car I have now is a 1993 Dodge spirit with about 160K miles on it.  At this point half the fucking car has been rerplaced, feels like.  Anyway, I will be in posession of the INfiniti in a couple of weeks.  I just wish the damned Dodge would pull through till then.
