We will miss you. I was sick over the weekend and had my son. I wasn't able to see the news until early this morning. I saw she had lost her life with her new boy in a car accident on the way back from the March Meet. Their car was hit and they landed in the canal. She died with a man she had just barely got to know. I knew Bretina but not really well. I used to talk to her years ago on Yahoo. Then i saw her here on Bakotopia. I think at that time she was managing Monty Byrom if not mistaken. It's funny she always would show up somewhere on the Internet I'd run into here all the time here or there. Now she's gone and I mourn her loss. My prayers and condolences to the families. I pray that through all this you will God's calm and peace through this very difficult time. I can't believe it! We have to be bribed into to helping less fortunate people! Are we this lazy and complacent? Are we this greedy and have to ask "what's in it for me" It's sad when Habitat for Humanity has to stoop so low as to ask people to help them in exchange tickets to Disneyland!
A letter to the Walmart staff:
I have attempted to log on to MY your careers section a few times since my initial time of registering All I get when I attempt to log in is asking me for a PIN number I was never issued nor did I make. I would have liked to work for Walmart. As a result I don't now. My attempts of changing store locations to work were null and void. I understand there is a possibility of 600 jobs here in Bakersfield, CA. I suspect I will not be one of the employee's working for Walmart due to inept software preventing me to do so. I mean really guys the first time time I registered I was met with 5 control questions and a password that required A capital letter and a number with in 11 characters. Your employee site is not a CIA top secret site, It's Walmart for goodness sake. For the record my name is John W.E. and my SS#***-**-**** in case you happen to find me in your system. Which is highly doubtful. I have in the past worked extensively in the media . I feel it's my duty and obligation to let them know of this injustice. I hear it was a common situation. John W. E. OK so I was sitting here this morning looking over my Windows live network page. something I would never normally do . I just don't go there. Since I was setting my son up with MSN and Windows Live I went on to see if he had sent me anything. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a friend of mine or who I THOUGHT was a friend of mine. Her name is Sherre she is in my network of friends, the ones I've never really committed to adding. I don't add anyone there. So tonight I'm looking at the post and I get a note from my sister,.who suddenly has no name, go figure,.. I get a note from someone I thought was Sherre it says: "John stay the heck off my private page. I do not want your friendship. I don't want anything to do w..."(I just copied the header here) so it continues with ,"with you or being friends with you", words to that effect. I'm sitting there thinking,..Sherre would never say that to me hmm,.. Then I realize who it was and I bust out laughing it "cracked me the hell up" to borrow a line from her. It was our own near and dear to my own heart sister sheree! Aww bless her heart ,.she has so much love for me. This has happened in the past before if Matt recalls with Facebook. well something to that effect at least. The poor woman can't stand me soooo bad she's chooses not to delete me from her e-mail address book apparently. then gets mad when I've accidentally spoke to her ( the jist of the comment was something like "oh hey you like that John Lee hooker song too" and I think that was it.) Then when I got the hateful words from Affable sister sheree haha Trust me had I known it was her I wouldn't have said a thing. Some how she was in my network of, ahem. friends. I think the sole reason I may have been on her e-mail was from being here and writing her. I think I had meant to send a guest book comment but it turned out to be mail. This was when I first started posting here Either way I had commented on what she had wrote about living in Bakersfield and had mentioned I too had remember whatever she wrote about., it's been a while since then a few years. The woman has loved me like a red headed step child ever since, she "holy spited" me a few times and said she didn't get e-mails from men er something like that said she was a married woman and all haha it was rather comical to say the least. Sometimes you can't make this stuff up it's too hilarious. Is there anyone here that can shoot some TFP's or Time For Prints? I need this for a posssible job!!!! Thanks

"Her words were a breath of fresh air in this backward airhead city." a comment from losthills. I’m sure they were but you just said the whole city in general is a bunch of air head. Don’t Like our city? You don’t have to live or come here. Why couldn’t this be a speech about how good and sweet and kind Ms. Huerta is, instead of being negative and slamming everyone? Yes there were a few people that showed how ugly they are inside. But to call the whole city something bad. Does this make you any better losthills? I do agree however on your last comment “Thank you, Dolores, your words needed to be heard here, and were very much appreciated by many of us.” I think Ms Huerta has done a lot for people that didn’t have a voice or money and those that have money and want to keep it to themselves and not pay a man/woman what he/she deservers After all their hard work Those people that own the farms and or associated with having to pay a COMPREHENSIVE wage are eating sour grapes. Pun intended. Sadly it happens. Especially in an area where agriculture is important here in tingo it does still happen. Like the pregnant girl that died out in the field. It’s wrong and shouldn’t happen. But that’s even more proof that those that don’t know English need to learn just to fight this oppression. To not just have a voice of the people, but of the community as well! To believe in themselves and not what people say about them. To educate themselves so they can make change happen. Caesar I’m sure would want this. Knowledge is power. Once knowledge is obtained remember where you come from, and help your brother with his struggles as Dolores has!If there are enough Educated people backing each other there are no limits!
sandpiper: Than perhaps you can help me with a wireless network problem I'm having. My wireless PC card is not being seen by the OS. I've used "wrapper" I must be doing something wrong. HELP!
(Mind you these definitions are NOT out of any dictionary but closely relating, in other words, in my OWN words)
Let’s attack these words shall we?
*illiterate responses
Illiterate: Not be educated in a formal way?
So one can say that having a illiterate response would be one of lack of education of the subject. That person is in dire need to be educated by one knowing more about it. In a kind way I would think.
In any case it seems to me someone saying that someone that someone is stating an illiterate response would be tandem mount to saying it’s a stupid response. That is a judgment to me. That is someone’s opinion and not really based in fact.
*hate speech:
Hate speech would you say that if you treat people with lack of respect and treat them stupid wouldn’t that too be a form of “Hate Speech” it certainly would give way eventually to just that I think.
*ignorance:
Once again we can say an ignorant remark would be one made with out being fully educated.
Most often when one calls another ignorant they generally don’t mean it in a kind way. Which give way once again to the hate speech definition
Christmas is a great time with family and Friends and parties. You have the closeness that you enjoy during the holidays. But last night as I drove through town I noticed Bakersfield looked like a ghost town it was quiet. Nothing open It was about 11:45 I was driving through town just kinda enjoying getting out and doing whatever I needed to do (what I thought would be a run to Sonic for a Cherry Coke) I was met with overwhelming sadness and I really didn't know why. I thought maybe it was the ghost of old an Christmas cropping up. Perhaps it was the fact that after I was 13 years old my Mom and Dad were no longer together and Christmas wasn't the same? hmmm? Maybe , hard to say. Perhaps it was looking back at old relationships gone bad around that time of the year.Perhaps it's each year I get to see my son at Christmas under some sort of rules life a football game (I get possession of my son on the first of the holiday, or the second half, half time without all the fan fare and only half the excitement) Maybe it was because the bulk of my work history was being in the media and we never got the holidays off and I was passing the only place that ever stays open on Christmas as far as fast food goes (Jack In The Box). I make my traditional pilgrimage to JBX every year, hmm for old times sake I think. For whatever reason i kinda felt all alone and sad. Later this morning while watching The Today Show this morning I saw mothers of Iraqi soldiers that never got to come home that died in battle. I felt bad for those mothers, they really did feel sad and lonely. Missing their children. I think of missing children in general that never get to come home. How their parents wait for them for well forever.I 'll take my half time and be happy with it! I know I have a lot to be thank for and i can go on about sad,lonely and dressed people. But that allows me to realize there are people out there worse off then myself, and hey I'm not that bad off to be honest. The best way to beat the blues at this time is help someone. In any way. Staying busy tend to take your mind of your problems. At least it does me. If I help out in some way for some one it makes me feel happy and useful. Guess i just needed to share that for anyone that maybe dealing with the same thing,.it's always nice to be able to be here and talk about it too. |
