Having worked for a comvience store chain , for 12 years, in management, these robberys, and killings, really bother me. I have had a gun in my face.

The ideas that the Dallas police have come up with are wonderful, and should have been in place long ago, by any convience store.

I also think the penalties, for these robberys should be more than what they are.

I spoke out, for years, for night time pay windows, at all our 24 hr stores, and also 2 employees on staff, on each shift.

I still live very close to one of the stores I managed, and am always, watching out for the employees there.

I think all ATMS should be placed in the back of the stores, and emptied at night.

All convience stores open 24 hours should have a pay thru window, with bullet proof glass at that window.

Cameras should be everywhere,  inside and outside, at the pumps, which many of the stores, I know of don't have.

The panic buttons are good, but there should be a direct connection to the police in whatever city the store is in.

I also think that hoodies, sunglasses, and back packs should be removed,like many of the banks have now.

All our employees went thru training for what to do during a robbery. The biggest point made, was do not leave the store. If someone takes you at gunpoint they will more than likely kill you, after leaving the store. It is a sad fact.

I also tried to make my employees understand that, what was in the store wasn't worth their life, let the culprits have what they want.

Even with all these things in place, you still have the thugs that just don't care.

Most of all if You are a regular customer, watch out for the people that serve you.

I drive by the swap met on 175, going towards Seagoville, and everday I do , I wonder about the animals that are sold there. Does the state ever check for health certificates, and or permits for selling the animals there? Back during the 100 plus weather, there were animals in many trailers, all over the property.

Goats, birds, chickens, etc.

Also the food vendors. Does anyone ever check to see if they have healthe certificates, and permits?

I never go there anymore, since the last time I went, it looked as if most the products sold there had been taken under ummm less than legal circumstances, since whenever, I asked for a receipt, or asked where the products came from, no one could answer me.

Another BLEEP fighting ring was broken up, the other day, near Corsicana, just a few miles from Dallas.

Many birds were confiscated, people arressted and given citations, which are like getting aspeeding ticket.

Some of the owners of the property and a few others caught, fighting their birds might be indited on animal cruelty charges, but the sentances are light weight, because of the laws.

It is not unlawful to own,  train,and breed these birds, which are used only for fighting. The only criminal part is the fighting itself.

I would think laws should be passed making it illegal to breed, and own, and train, these birds, it would help stop the blood sport.

I can't understand the reasoning of dogfighting, cockfighting , and bull fighting, where, the animal dies a cruel death. The only reason for these blood sports, is to make money. The animals have no choice.

I know of one breeding farm, for cocks  right out at Stark road, Dallas county near Seogoville. There are rows and rows of little huts set up for the birds, and it makes me sick, that nothing can be done because the guy just breeds and sells the birds, knowing where they will end up.

The same for the Pit bull dogs that are breed for the same reason.

Seems the legislature could do something more

PLEASE!!!

IF You are at a gas station, and You have some meth head walking around saying they need money for gas/food/ and anything else they come up with. Instead of giving them money, tell them You can call the police to come help them out.

These people are out there ,knowing when management is not around, and use their stories to rip off good natured people.

I was just at a station, and these 3 people were asking person after person  for money, I asked the new clerk if she knew they were out there , she said that they had been out there, that one woman actually put 30 dollars in gas on her card for them, and they were still asking for money. when I went back to my truck to put my gas in, I told the woman , who was coming to ask me for money,that they had called the police,  Amazing how fast they left, and left their so called friend. He was telling people he needed money for food.

Nothing makes me mader than to have -panhandlers begging for money, and to know people actually give their hard earned money to them.

Do good for them ,and call the police that can send them to social services, if You are that worried about them. don't let these people get over on you.

Why hasn't  Chip, been in the Chopper?

where are all the news reporters going? Seems  I feel something in the wind... something strange going on..

Is  everyone on vacation   ending the summer? or  is it  something else. ?

It is too late now.

Why wouldn't anyone as a neighbor.... whether You know the neighbors or not...Why wouldn't anyone, hearing loud yelling voices, and then popping noises(like firecrackers?) it's not  a holiday....

Why would Anyone,  not call 911, if nothing else just to check out the neighborhood!

I would rather be safe than sorry, or at least,  know I tried.

Yes I call when I hear loud arguing.

A life might have been saved...maybe

And now they put out flowers and teddy bears...

know Your neighborhood, even if you don't like everyone......pay attention!

I suppose if You are an immigrant You can kill someone, and know that You will live off  taxpayers fro the rest of your life. Might as well pass a law, saying if you murder people, and You are an immigrant, you will go to jail for awhile.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas  --  Attorneys for an illegal immigrant from Honduras say his inability to get legal help from his government following his arrest for killing a Dallas-area store manager during a robbery should keep him from a scheduled trip to the Texas death chamber.

Lawyers said Heliberto Chi, who was set to die Thursday evening, was denied rights given to foreigners under international treaty.

It's the second death penalty case this week in the nation's most active capital punishment state to focus on diplomatic issues.

Just finished my dessert  for after dinner, a delicious chocolate  "Waky" cake , mixed and baked all in one pan, and needs no milk or eggs!  also made some chocolate icing.. Hmmm   is there a full moon going on ? I have a need for chocolate!

The meatloaf is in the oven now. Guess I will have mashed potatoes, and some salad or something to go along with it .

Will take a shower  put on  my  "Diva" jewlery, ( thanks 2 tickets), and settle down for a nice relaxing dinner and quiet night.. Listen to some of the oldies music ,sent to me from Dallas. Flip through old scrap books, and remember of friends and family.

I was doing that last night ,and found a letter from Nancy Reagan, an autograph from Lane Frost, my drivers Ed certificate from 67, and a picture of me and my best friends, with Timmy Rooney(Mickey's son) think that was like 1964,  boy do I feel old! 

I am really trying to get lost in thought from all the crazy things people do, Like the girl in Florida that doesn't know where her daughter is.

Like the baby that was mauled by a dog because the 17 yr old mother was sleeping.

The mexican that should have been injected yrs ago for killing 2 girls.

Sometimes I just want happy news.

Has anyone seen the new idea for paying for the Trinity Rail system?

Some legislatures have spoken out, about paying for the system, by doubling the fee for registering Your car/truck.

most pay 50 to 60 dollars per vehicle(approx) if this is passed you will pay twice the amount, for a rail system that is for the Northern portions of the Metroplex.

How many of You will ever use this system? I seldon drive up that way let alone will ride a train.

Now we have a Hollywood star in the Elephant  debate. I suppose she is with PETA.

I don't beleive the elephant should go to Mexico. I would like to see the elphant exhibit here made larger, and other elephants brought in, but since I have no say, next best thing send her to a sanctuary here in the states.

Does anyone know there is an Elephant sanctuary  in Arkansas?

The city of Dallas is giving in.

After all the Hoopla over the renaming of Industrial Blvd.

The city council, is considering changing the name of Ross, or Field St.(one or the other), to Ceasar Chavez .

I still have no idea what Ceasar Chavez has to do with Dallas. He was big in California, helping the farm workers. Do we have Farm Workers here in Dallas?

Seems to me if they were going to name a street in Dallas, to honor someone Hispanic, they would find someone that has done something for Dallas.

Does anyone know that Ceasar was against illegal immigration?

This is for all You Old Hippies

From an e-mail sent to me,

My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings,
bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be
able to monitor my moods.

We've discovered that when I'm in a good mood, it
turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a
big frickin red mark on his forehead.

Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond.

Dumb BLEEP.

Just a question....

Does one have to use antifreeze during warm months?

Since it is called antifreeze, isn't it for when the freezing temperatures are going on?

As long as the car has water in the system won't it keep cool?

A woman is arrested for using a fake social security ID, trying to get employment at a hospital.

Turns out she was an illegal.

Now  the same ole groups, are saying she was set up, that the hospital is not the immigration service, and should  not have contacted the police.

I myself always had to ask for a social security card (paper not in plastic) and a driver's license, or valid state ID or green card, if they were eligible to work in the US.

So should we not ask for ID's for legal ID's ? Especially in a hospital,

This also brings up something I keep wondering about. Why do they not do TB testing anymore? I remember as a child we had them done in school. With all the immigration going on why isn't theis done as part of the school shot programs?
