Since Comcast took all but 8 channels away from us unless we buy one of their new digital boxes there isn’t much on in the morning except for news programs. I can’t stand watching this news any more, especially in the morning. There is way too much depressing news on, not a good way to start the day.

The only thing that I could find one other than news was Jerry Springer, which I never, ever watch. My nephew was on the Jerry Springer show a few years back and informed us on just how much it is all just a bunch on nonsense so I really don’t see the point of watching it knowing it is all fake. Besides being fake, it is all about people fighting with each other which really jerks my chain. How can they promote all of this physical violence and not expect the general public to act the same way and think that they will get away with it. In the real world when you assault someone you go to jail!

His teenage son was in a car accident and was killed. That is the kind of thing you never ever want to deal with. What a shame to lose one so young and full of promise to someone else’s carelessness. No matter how a good a driver you are, you always have to watch out for the other idiots on the road with you.

My heart goes out to the family.

Of course, if you are superstitious, aka totally ignorant, you can find a lot of things to blame for bad luck. Like a broken mirror brings 7 years of bad luck. Seven years! That is a long time to suffer for just a broken piece of glass!

Today is Friday the Thirteenth. Next month we will have another Friday the Thirteenth and in November there is a third one. This year is loaded up with them! That’s a lot of bad luck for a year that is supposed to be full of hope with the promise of change by a certain important someone.

It is always the really big paper, with extra sections in it and color comics. Plus all the sale ads.

Sometimes I like the sale ads because I need to go shopping and want to see what’s on sale or who has the best prices on items to make it worth driving over there. Sometimes I’m broke or hate the idea of shopping and I just throw out all the sale ads because reading them and seeing all the tempting things to buy is just too depressing.

My favorite part of the newpaper is the “Living” section where they talk about everything from fashion to love advice.
