Drunk Astronauts. Now Even the best of the best have dropped to rock bottom.

Now is this pure bullcrap or what?.

By MARCIA DUNN, Associated Press Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Despite safety warnings from its own doctors, NASA let astronauts fly drunk on at least two occasions, an independent panel said in a report released Friday.

Personally, I do everything I can to be a good person. I don't smoke, don't drink, yadda,yadda,yadda and NASA lets astronauts fly drink? I mean what the hell are these retards thinking? They have the best life in the world and they get drunk? I would be the first one to sign up to go into space if they took intelligent and capable people. I spent my life trying to do the right thing. Sure everyone makes mistakes but when you are given the silver spoon, you don't go out drinking and expect to keep it.

I know what your thinking. They are under a lot of stress and need to relax before a flight. Well TFB. I would go on a space flight to the Space station. Probably even though I thought it would be a one way trip. That would make the trip worth while. If something is easy and anyone could do it, it would not mean anything.

So, to whom ever let these 'Astronauts' fly drunk should be fired and criminal charges filed against them. Being a dumbass does not get you out of doing something that could literally destroy billions and billions worth of equipment and the hopes of hundreds of thousands of people who looked up to these astronauts as heros.

Don't forget that there are a lot of people in this program that must be doing the right thing. I can't ever forget that.

Going through the motions

I was going through Maryann's room today. After we all spent a whole day cleaning it two days ago, she stuffed clean clothes into a cooler under her bed. To say the least, I was 'very upset'. Instead of cleaning her room on my Saturday, we could have done something fun or even not fun but out of the house.

Well, we cleaned up her room again today and fixed the door between her room and the boys room.

The door is very old and kinda falling apart but I got it screwed together and back on the hinges correctly. The mechanism is shot and takes a skeleton key so I am not sure how to proceed. I might have to take it apart and rebuild it but at this moment, I do not have the 4 hours it will take to do that. Maybe later on.

Anyway, her room is clean again. She and the boys will have to vacuum again after I go to work which should take at least 20 minutes of vacuuming and 30 minutes of whining. That is why they will be doing it 'after' I leave for work.

Happy?

Remember when I used to post positive and happy things here?.

It appears that 'real life events' have squashed the shit out of any of that.

Humbug!

Her priorities are a little askew

I have what I call a part time job with the Union that pays 5 days pay every month. (That means 40 hours worth of Union Foreman pay) It also includes all my expenses for doing the position. Stamps, mileage, phone bills, internet access, etc...

Bridget has a job that gives her several days a week at minimum wage. It also costs her about 5 to 6 dollars a day in gas to get to and from that job.

I get to do my job when I have time as long as I get all the work done.

lately, she has to work on the only days I have off and several which I work my normal job.

So, which is better?

A job that works around my schedule and pays very well, is fairly easy to do, and is a good money making opportunity? I mean shit, the part time job I have will not only pay for the phone bill, cell bill, internet access (All of which I use for Union business), but the truck payment, insurance bill, and the electric bill. Nearly all our expenses besides groceries and house payment.
Or is it her job that pays nearly nothing. Who can really live on minumum wage now? Seriously? Plus, her 'hobby job' as I wrongly call it causes her to spend more money on material and fabric we don't need, and is a constant struggle to keep what materials and fabrics we have from over running the house.

You tell me why I am sitting at home doing all the crap she can't do that needs to be done the 50 hours I am out working every week and all the Union business I always have to do every month.
All while she is working for minimum wage a couple of hours a week and wasting my day off where I could be doing something with the kids besides laundry, dishes, and cleaning all the shit up in this damn house?.

Now you tell me, which is better?

Eat at home damn it & quit wasting money!!

I keep trying to not get upset at Bridget for wasting money at restaurants. But there is no reason why she does it. I go to the grocery on a never-ending basis just so she will not have a panic attack and start bitching about not having a full refrigerator.

If at any time the refrigerator is not 'full', she goes into panic mode. "There is nothing here to eat!" All the while standing next to shelves and shelves of things to eat. It drives me crazy. So, I keep on the rant not to go to a restaurant to eat. There is no reason to when there is so much in the house. Sure, there are times to do such a thing. Things get a little busy and there is not enough time to fix something. But 99% of the time, that is all piss-poor planning. Sitting watching TV does not constitute the need to eat out of the house.

OK, I buy things once in a while, but normally it is to bring home to share with her. I am not stupid. I very rarely eat away from the house. Of course, for some reason I get shit because I am on a road train in Toledo hundreds of miles away. I get something to eat and she equates that to her getting Chinese up the road from the house. I can't seem to make the connection between the two but she can. That just does nothing but make me angrier in the first place that she had to go somewhere to get what was at her fingertips. AHHHHHHHHH!

It really pisses me off when she goes to somewhere less than a mile from the house to get lunch or dinner when we have the same thing in the refrigerator at home. I don't give a crap that she has to stop and make it. Life is a bitch. I do things every stinking day I really don't want to.

Then, once she gets off the restaurant bandwagon, I find this in the checking statement.

The place is just up the street. Does she not realize it would have taken less than one minute to drive home and fix something? Does she not realize that everything she had on that sandwich was at home? She complains about the buns anyway so what is the point here? It was another waste. After taxes and gas expenses and all the other bullshit everyone has to put up with, I think I must have worked half an hour for that snack. With her 'salary', and after all the things everyone has to pay, I imagine it took her 2 working hours to pay for that.

She should at least have the intelligence to pay cash so I would not have to have this pop up in front of me like she is rubbing my nose in it. If I wanted to be treated like shit, I would still be married to my first wife.
