Public Potty Ettiqutte

Now whatever you philosophy at home is that's completely your business. But when you are in public, for example at work follow some simple rules of etiquette.

1. If there are 10 open stalls in the bathroom don't go in to the one next to me. It's just weird!

2. Don't talk to yourself on the toilet. It's creepy! This includes thanking Jesus.

3. Why are you on the phone? I don't have a shy bladder, however I don't think your child's teacher needs to hear me pee. Stay off the phone.

4. FLUSH!!!!! And make sure it flushes. By all means use your foot to push down the handle, it's so simple and you can count it as 1 leg lift completed from todays workout.

5. Clean up behind yourself and wash your hands prior to leaving the bathroom. Everyone will talk about you if you don't. And that's nasty!

Following these 5 itty bitty little rules will make the world a happier place. Thank You!

Vote or SHUT UP!

Tomorrow is Election Day. No it's not the Presidential Election, but this is just as important. Whether you're an Elephant, Donkey or a Bag of Tea you need to vote. In this day and age there is no reason to be uneducated on who is running and what they stand for. If you're reading this it's obvious you are literate therefore you are capable to read up and do some research. Don't just vote for who you parents, grandparents, spouse, friends, minister or teacher tell you to, think for yourself! Look to several media outlets for information, don't rely on only Fox News or CNN or Comedy Central. Remember the media is not doing their job if you are not afraid.

The President can't do anything without the House and Senate or vice versa. One is powerless without the other. Your local government is equally important. Local is who decides how to spend your state taxes and decides if our roads are improved, schools are closed, and fights for new businesses. We are all put off by the shape the country, but we are not powerless.

Rumor has it that NC is looking to adopt a similar immigration policy as AZ. It's possible that my biracial sons will need identification to prove they are Natural American Citizen whose parents are Natural Citizens too. Ellis has recently developed his own Spanglish, and I prefer to not have to fight INS to prove the boy is American therefore I will be voting.

If you do or don't support Healthcare Reform, make your voice heard. If you do or don't support tax increases, make your voice heard. If you have a stance on gay marriage, make your voice heard. If you have an opinion of immigration, make your voice heard. Vote or SHUT UP!!
