IF YOU'RE NOT IRISH, HAVE ANOTHER DRINK & FAKE IT

Born in Britain, Patrick was kidnapped by Irish pirates at the age of 16 and enslaved in Ireland. For six miserable years he tended sheep on the cold hills of Ballymena. He finally escaped aboard a ship to France, which then was known as Gaul. There he studied for the priesthood and in 431 A.D. was named a bishop. The next year he was sent by the pope to teach the gospel to the people of Hibernia – the same wild Irish tribesmen who had kidnapped him as a boy. Patrick spent nearly 30 years trudging up and down the Emerald Isle, teaching Christianity.

The drinking part ... that ain't St. Pat. That's the wayward descendants ... teeheehee

It kinda seemed way past time to spruce the place up a little. Though I must say, it'd help a lot if I knew what the heck I was doing.

It's going to be interesting when ALL the educators in WV have their salaries posted. I bet the teachers in the eastern panhandle will be darn glad they don't teach in Clay!

MY MY MY I bet the Pre kindergarten teacher that was making $51,000.00 plus a year was one of the ones marching on the capitol the other day. Where do they get off running their yap about a 3 1/2 % wage increase.

Fool don't you know that pre kindergarten kids might pull out a gun or a knife on the teacher. Its called hazardous duty pay. Occupational risk that are incurred with them little curtain climbers deserve a big salary, after all they are highly educated baby sitters. Did you see where the aides were getting over $30,000.00 a year? Seems to me like they got it pretty well made for regular peoples salary is hardly $10,000.00 a year on average.

Instead of our state troopers and conservation officers having to get food stamps and welfare to survive with the risk they take maybe we should suggest a special session of legislature and do a little School Teacher weeding out and cut about half of their pay and use it for the ones who have to put their life on the line every day.

$30K/year isn't enough for all the teachers aides. There was that one at Capital HS that just got busted for running the methlab. Just a little sumpin' sumpin' to supplement her low pay.

When you visit this site you can enter your address and a map will pop up
with your house as the small icon of a house. Red, blue, green, dots
will
surround your entire neighborhood. When you click on these dots, a
picture
of a person will appear with an address and the description of the crime
he
or she had committed.


The best thing is that you can show your children pictures and see how
close these people live to your home or school.

Intersting little moneymaker John set up. Sure they give faces and names. But it doesn't give any facts unless you pay the $19.95. So how do you know if your "neighbor" is a predatory pedophile or just some guy who banged a girl when she was 16 and he was 19? Both are classified as sex offenders and both have to register their names,addresses, place of work, etc. for a usual minimum of ten years to life. Not only is that a scam to make money, it's just another media tactic to cause undue hysteria. You can look on any state police website FOR FREE and get the same names, faces and twice the information.

When I looked at that I got a name, a face, an address and the nature of the crime for free. Click on the red squares after putting in 25043. The other is for a background check etc. For pay.

I see on the WV state police web site that more than half (17 out of 26) of the offenders known or are family members to their victims.
Only one "predatory" offender in Clay County. One too many if ya ask me.

Keep it in the family, ain't that the WV way?

Anonymous said...

That's the way in every state, but no one wants to talk about that they would rather point the finger at "stranger danger" lurking everywhere. It makes better news coverage ya know.

Oh c'mon now! What's wrong with a little "diversity" to shake things up a bit!!!

Anonymous said...

Has to be better that Rose in a thong or without a thong. Ewwww, I seen more meat on the Quizno's commercial!

ROSE said...

I could go for Quizno's about now ...

I think, when I'm a lardo, I'll wear my thong to the pool so somebody can snap a picture. That should please all you "interested parties." teeheehee

I think there's plenty of diversity here in Clay.
Weed out the diverse & there's not really much left.

There was once a gal named Rose
Who blogged as everyone knows.
Spring came along,
Out went the flannel thong
Along with all her winter woes.

Its gay liberation movement for Clayberry. If you don't know what a "Dyke" is then theres no use explaning it to you.
Dyke= not she
Dyke= not he
Dyke= IT
Dyke=Sh-T or all the above

ROSE said...

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!! Sorry. Sometimes I can't contain myself.

Ya know, here's some random thought.

If you don't like gay people, don't be one. It's important to like yourself.

If you don't like the way somebody looks, look the other way. Don't torture yourself or them by looking their way & annoying both of you.

Accept that nobody gives a rip what you think of them. If they do, they're far too shallow & you don't want to deal with them, anyway.

Turn your TV on quick! My Name Is Earl is on & man, that's funny, I don't care who ya are ...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL
