Huh ?

Hi all ...
Welcome to my world or at least a glimpse into it as I trudge along.
Let me explain....not that my world is really that much different than yours, however I do think that I perspectively 'see ' and 'understand' things literally different than most do. It doesn't mean that I am 'right' and you are 'wrong' and it surely doesn't mean whatever the subject matter is it's practiced or stated to be as such is the only way it has to be despite the fact often it always is the 'only way' it seems to be.

I do believe that most of us think we are of free will and spirit with the freedom to think if not to act and speak our minds, but believe it or not , most are not ! By that I mean, there are so many things in our 'society' that we 'accept' out of failure to believe that we as individuals singular in stance or unified by many can't make things better or makes more logical sense and perspectively less expensive to survive in our type of society. It doesn't always have to 'hit the pocketbook', but unfortunately, ultimately most of the time it does.

Now, I for one understand how things presently are under most circumstances since I am a very analytical and a logical type of person or so most that know me say I am. Given that, either a 'blessing' or a 'curse', I find that things just aren't as they should be and should someone like myself 'discuss' it with someone, oh boy, then I really can say my thoughts are or should be to myself, for I often feel as tho I am from outer space and from another tiered society!! :) LOL.

It really doesn't take much if one really just 'examines' the world around them regarding 'policies' or 'practices' !
Do most really make sense? Do they 'cost' more than they should for a product or service provided ? Do things have 'value' in perspective to the 'need' or 'wants' ? Hey, what about things such as house/car/boat insurances? Now that really irritates me. Here's why !

Let's quickly examine the housing insurance crises that is currently a plague to the nation, particularly states that are hardest hit with natural disasters. Most insurers pull a whammy on policy holders and jack the prices thru the roof unabling the policy holder to 'afford' the protection that for most is mandatory because the 'lender' states it to be so . Of course I understand the 'lender' wants 'protection' for its 'investment' and that is fine. But what isn't ok in my book is this.....when a policy holder no longer can afford the coverage, the lender 'forces' coverage on the 'propery owner' at rates that are so exaggerated above the going rate leaving the property owner with the inability to pay. For if they could they would have coverage on their own at the lower rate. Now does that makes sense ?? Hell NO !
So where are or what becomes the option...there aren't any...except for the property owner to sell or have foreclosure. I'm not against the protection requred by the lender but what rule of common sense do they follow? If a product is too expensive for an individual to purchase as an individual for the protection of its lender, how does the lender think that they can 'force' the product onto their policy holder at such a higher rate in order to protect their investment ? And what tops it off its the same product at a much higher rate that the individual couldn't afford to start with...so why the 'jack up' ? So my logic states....ok let the 'lender' fend and find its own insurance...heck its really for its own investment that the consumer ends up paying for to start with when they can afford it. Don't you think it should be a 'partnership' ....the give and take....not just the 'take' . ? And who says the 'lender' 'gives'.....I don't think so ....we only pay thru the nose even with the best of them. Doesn't this sound kinda confusing ?
Yes..I simplified it a bit on this 'analogy'....but heck....the end results remains the same......this world we call our society is definitely messed up and most accept it as 'normal'....well, not this 'potato head'.......I find this society for the most part....all 'f'd up' !
So what is your 'pet peeve' that is 'accepted as 'normal' but you know it isn't ?? I know there a tons of things...soooo let me know :) POST IT !!

A striking thought.....

Hi again... I'm back :)...lol

I thought I would mention something that I found somewhat confusing and baffling to me. As most of you know I live in Florida where it's the summer season where the electrical storm reign . Well...I was picking up some little goodies for a meeting I was holding from one of my neighborhood shopping markets just a few days ago and as I approached the cash register to check out the sky opened up and a real severe and intense storm was right on top of us.
The lightning bolts were visibly striking the parking lot just a matter of feet from where I was standing under the overhang trying to keep as dry as I could as I exited the store. The wall of water was immense as was the percussion of the thunder as it would push you back on each crack of lightning. In matter of seconds there was about 6 inches of water running on the ground and you could barely see inches in front of you. Well....what took me back some...was...... are you ready for this??? lol....hmmmmm
A male customer came out of the store about 5 mins after I did...carrying a long steel handled umbrella with a chintzy plastic handle and proceeded to open it and was starting to take steps to 'run' or 'walk' , I don't know which ,to his vehicle in the parking lot. Well....hmmmm...I suppose I should have just let him do that ...for he seemed so bent on being a McDonald's french fry....but I just couldn't be that 'stupid'..... as he was attempting to be! Not only that...if he thought I would run out there to perform cpr or closed heart massage after being struck and looking like a crispy critter...he had another thing coming. So I grabbed him and told him that his chances of making it to his vehicle without being struck is really a no brainer. I don't bet often, but I was willing to place a bet with my local 'bookie' that there was a 100% chance that he would be a toasted pop tart before he could even 'see' his vehicle ! He actually smiled at me and I could see him contemplating ignoring my plea for him to remain in some sort of shelter. I guess after he really realized that the electrical bolts were really intense and coming one right after the other or in some cases multiple strikes, he seemed to understand my urgency for him to just sit tight and wait out the storm. ...
You know...I can maybe accept one indvidual that doesn't put two and two together.....but lo and be hold wouldn't you know it....another customer with the steel shopping cart that most supermarkets have....also made the same attempt with a small child hanging on to it. Again, I had to stop them and talk some common sense into him. I just don't get it....
I may not be the brightest bulb in the pack....but heck...at least my 'filaments' are connected' ...lol ...What is wrong with these people ??
And when the inevitable happens due to the lack of common sense , they all cry...if they are still breathing ...'why me'.....lol
Good gosh people....Kentucky Fried Chicken has enough pigeons.....no need to contribute !!!
Anyhow....perhaps I saved a few lives that day....I don't know....but one thing is certain. As my old buddy and friend, Forrest Gump would say.............' Stupid is as Stupid does'.....enough said.....soooooooo........
Till next time America....
Keep your umbrellas handy for maybe even you might end up being a 'fried tomato' on a Burger King's Whopper !!!......lol
