The Rorschach test

Needless to say, I like an awful lot of people had been very intently watching the Casey Anthony trial.  No, I was not looking for her to get the death penalty, I have mixed feelings on that subject, and I will not go into that here.  But as in the O.J. Simpson case, I am stunned.  That jury was so well controlled as to who was on it and what they got to see as evidence.  You know if you and I are standing on a sidewalk, you on one side, I on the opposite side and we both witness a hit and run, we each will see it differently.  Our description will vary due to our own experience filter.  The Rorschach Test:  What do you see in this ink blot?  You will see one thing, I another, each filtering our perception of reality through our own experiences.  


Another day in Paradise, looking for my cheese.

    I was really stunned by the verdict! The only thing that I can say is that she has her concious to live with and her judgement will be done by a Higher authority!

    I haven't followed this story completely - just in the last few days and I do find it shocking!
    Good luck with your blog!

    I saw an interview with Juror #3. She was well-spoken. I recommend watching it. Basically she said the prosecution didn't prove it's case beyond a reasonable doubt. Especially since they were asking for the death penalty. And a responsible jury can't make such a huge decision based on feelings and supposition. The whole thing is so sad. But I have to believe that justice will be served eventually. Whether it's on Earth or in the after life. I can't believe such a heinous crime can go unpunished.

    What puzzles me- is they did not even find her negligent of the child. 31 days of not reporting your child missing. I heard there is a petition going for a new law, called Caylee's law- that holds a parent responsible to report a child missing in a timely manner. I want to find out where that is and sign on.

Snarky Boomer’s First Days In a New Direction

Image
The new career as a caregiver. I hope that these blog posts will encourage any boomer who is struggling to find a road map.  If you read some of my first blog posts, you will see that I was pretty down.  I have decided with some found energy to reinvent my final act for a living.  After assessment of all the particulars, I settled on caregiving. Was hired by a local facility and started training.  The day of training I was asked to sit for a client the following Monday, it was to be a 12 hour shift.  I accepted the duty and enjoyed it very much. I now have my Red Cross CPR/First Aide/AED certificate. I have sitting on my desk 4 CD’s I ordered “Savvy Care Giver”.  The information pertains to caring for clients with dementia or Alzheimer’s.  The facility of my employment offers further training. Now, granted, I am not making a ton of money, but I have an objective here and anytime you start on anything new, you start at the bottom.  I have m...

I live in an Oxymoron world

Most of it consisting of moron; defined in Webster’s Dictionary as- mild mental retardation (don’t jump on my butt about being politically correct). If I didn't laugh at the fine mess I am now in, I would be secured in a mental hospital. Being absolutely unsure of anything, everyone and anyplace has brought me to a state of acute apathy . I now seem to find myself thrust into active retirement whether I want it or not. As I took stock of my finances, I thought I had made an accurate estimate of what I would need to survive on. All these unanticipated expenses seem to just keep coming in, like mortar shells, blasting holes in my budget. I have been forced to become an amateur expert on how to survive on very little money. Boomer's like myself are enjoying the benefits of an efficient government , whether local, state or Federal. In fact our entire planet seems to have a severe wasting disease called "lack of common sense ". I think I will sit now in eloque...

Dearth- word for the day

Dearth noun \ˈdərth\ : an inadequate supply : lack <a dearth of monetary resources> I can feel that word. It is part of who I am right now. Dearth of monetary funds Dearth of positive attitude Dearth of discipline Etc., etc., ad infinitum Antonyms: On the other hand I have a wealth of bills, abundance of bad attitude and plenty of apathy Trust me I have not always been like this. This is a new experience for me. I have more than a few f riends and acquaintances that are in hard times and places as bad or worse than mine. As I look around, it gets harder to see anything that is NOT depressing. The city parks are going down hill due to budgetary constraints. It was announced in our local paper that more than a million dollars is outstanding in property taxes from last year that people could not pay. The question comes to mind, did we become so accustomed to so many amenities that now those are luxuries and doing without things we used to take for g...
