Okay, just one more

I don't usually become agitated or vocal about work related issues; whether it be about my job or others.  My personal opinion is if the issues you become most frustrated about are things you cannot change, then leave it at the door.  Don't burden yourself with the added stress. 

With that being said, I was very shocked and quite appalled at the display of negativity that was broad casted for all to read on the Internet yesterday.  For those who know what I'm referring to, it was a poor display of inaccurate facts.  It frustrates me to see that those who feel as if they have been dealt a bad hand are actually the ones who reaped the most benefits.  Lashing out will get you no where and only shed a bad light on YOU.  Be careful because you might stir the ISH and find yourself being more stinky than those you are pooing on.

That's it, we're moving

I receive a monthly subscription to a parenting magazine. Their July issue had an article titled 'Top 10 Cities to Raise Your Family.' The following is the information about their #7 pick:

“#7 Honolulu, Hawaii – This tropical paradise is much more than just the center of Hawaiian culture, theater, and music. Clean air, loads of sun and surf, and state obesity rates well below the national average add up to a seriously healthy city for raising a family. The strong economy here is powered by tourism, the military, defense contracting, and real estate, resulting in a practically nonexistent unemployment rate, the lowest property taxes on our list, and an easy under 23-minute commute. Fourteen public schools have received the Department of Education Blue Ribbon School Designation for Excellence, and Honolulu had the lowest crime rate of our ten winners.”
Seems convincing enough and only more of a reason to pack up the kids and hit the dusty trail.  But seriously, I will live in Hawaii one day.  Really.
