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 my new fitness membership as of January

The Finer Things In Life Are The Simple Things In Life 1. Sharing fun times with friends and loved ones. 2. Being in the forest with no sound other than the birds. 3. A cool breeze on a hot day. 4. Music that speaks to your soul. 5. A warm blanket, thick socks and a cup of cocoa on a cold night. 6. A friend calling to just check in and ask how you are doing. 7. A Hug from a little child or dear friend. 8.  Puppy kisses, wiggles, and waggs. 9. Looking out over the ocean waters with wonderment. 10. Looking to the heavens with wonderment. 11.

BANG! Start Off 2012

Image
New year, new beginning. Off with the old and on with the new. In previous post, I told of how after much deliberation I had decided to go in a career change direction, becoming a professional caregiver. So, I applied and have been accepted with a very nice local assisted living facility as sitter/caregiver. I start my new career with training. The 13th will be in house training. On the 18th I will have a full day of CPR, First Aid and AED training. Then the 25th will be another day of training. I have signed up for some on line classes in caregiver to persons with dementia/ Alzheimer. So I am off to the races. Now, I know most all of us commit to get on diets for the new year, but this time I am going a step further and I signed up for a 21 day 21 pound detox program. During this course or shortly after I will sign up for a gym membership. I need to strength train and I know I will not do that at home on my own. Plus, I like the big machines for streng
