Mom’s Soap Box

To Catch a Predator was on tv last night. I just love this show. There are so many stupid people out there. You really have to watch your kids to make sure their not one of them! Hopefully you raised them right and taught them about sicko’s who prey on the young.

Chris Hanson’s, to catch a predator is one the greatest reality shows on the airways. These men are the stupidest living creatures alive. Do they live under a rock? Come on, they have to be a moron not to suspect anything when they walk into those cozy houses to meet their little girlfriend.

Last week a man from Delmont, PA drove 6 hours to New Jersey. When Hanson caught him in the act, he said he just wanted to hang out for the weekend! Hang out and do what? One freak brought donuts! It’s so pathetic.

I Love it when they say, “I had a funny feeling this was a set –up.”

Then, Hanson points a finger at them and says, “Ok, then why in world would you do it!” The look on their face is priceless.

He should have a show called, “To catch an idiot.” I love Chris! He is putting, so many perverts where they belong, behind bars.

I just hope I never see one of my neighbors, or worse yet, a relative.

Merry Christmas to all my readers. Life has been a little crazy and yet wonderfull.

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas. The day after Xmas and I was out running buying gifts that did not arrive in time. It goes to show that an eighteen year old is still a child when it comes to video games that were not under the Christmas tree.!

I have not been posting that much lately because I have been busy finishing up with my graduate courses. Yes, I graduated! I now have masters.

Now I have a little bit more time to write what I want, starting with Microsoft! Do you believe my son’s XBOX 360 broke again? This is getting insane. I have not even filled out the form to the Attorney General’s office yet. I really think there should be a class action suit against Microsoft.

That will be my next project. I really would like to know if any one out there has had the same problem with XBOX.

Please write to me if you have a XBOX360 lemon. I really want to hear from you!

Yesterday I was watching the ‘The Today Show’ they were discussing the shooting in Colorado. I would not even give that evil creep a minute of air time. Why do they continue to broadcast them, all it does is give some other sicko idea’s of doing a copy cat.

It makes me angry that the media continues to give these SICK people any notoriety at all. If my child ruined someone’s life I would be dammed if I let the media blaster their face on the screen.

These people who take the lives of people who are minding their own business and shatter their families’ lives should rot in hell. They are in the the same class as Judas; it would have been better if they would have never been born…

The evil seed who wanted to kill and injure as many people he could is hopefully having dinner right about now with the man who killed the innocent people in the mall; they are all together with, the teens from columbine and at the head of the table is Hitler. And I hope their eating a nice plate full of shit.

Think about it for a minute. If you had a child who did such evil things would you want them to be made a celebrity, or would you want to hide your head in shame.

And the media has to stop making these people victims of society. They have to take responsibility for their actions. It’s a cop out!

Great news for all you XBOX360 bashers. I finally had enough crap from XBOX after my son had to send his back for 10th time. I called my local news station WTAE in Pittsburgh, PA and call for action sent me a form to fill out to be sent to PA’s Office of the Attorney General to make a formal complaint against XBOX360. I really think there should be a class action suit against them.

A 65 dollar warrenty should take care of a lemon. This is mult-billion dollar company I’m talking about! It’s a disgrace!

Anyone who is having the same problem as me with their XBOX hop on board and complain; no-matter what state you live contact your Office of Attorney General ! There is power in numbers.

I will contiunue to keep updating issues pertaining to Microsoft as they develope.

How nasty is that?

Today my son’s brought home a heart warming letter informing parents of another out-break.
The varsity high school wrestling team was exposed to to Herpes Gladiatourm. How nice for Christmas!

First MRSA now Herpes! It makes me wonder about the hygiene of these schools and kids.

This is making me sick!

I always thought wrestling was a strange sport, all the touching. It gives me the creeps!!! Thank God my boys only like to touch girls. Ok, that’s another subject entirely!

Christmas Cookie List
My boys love Christmas goodies, and do I have the best of the best.
You can’t have Christmas without peanut butter blossoms and chocolate buck eyes.

My favorite is peppermint brick and you have to have chocolate covered pretzels.

My son’s girlfriend mom makes candied covered almonds or pecans. I can’t remember which is it, but they are the best I’ve ever eaten. I wish I could get the recipe, but I would make them all the time, and they would go straight to my behind!

I remember when my boys were young I could not wait to make Christmas cookies with them. We would have flour all over the kitchen. It would take me hours to clean.

It was worth the mess. Those precious moments you take for granted. My son Jon still makes the cut-outs. He’s a pro at it now!

Here is my top Christmas Recipes

Peanut Blossoms1 bag (8oz) Hershey’s Kisses
1 egg
1/2 cup shortening
2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
additional granulated sugar

Heat oven to 375F. Remove candy wrappers.
In large bowl, beat shortening and peanut butter until well blended. Add the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and all of the brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to peanut butter mixture. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in the additional granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately place kiss on
top of each cookie, pressing down so cookie cracks around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

Buckeyes

Commonly known as Peanut Butter Balls. Recipe can easily be halved or quartered. Paraffin wax can be omitted but it will be a little more difficult to dip the balls without it.

2 lbs. Peanut butter
1 pound butter
3 pounds powdered sugar
two 12-ounce packages of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Use a high quality chocolate.
1/2 of one bar of paraffin wax
toothpicks for dipping
waxed paper

Place wax paper onto cookie sheets and set aside. Cream peanut butter and butter until combined. Add sugar a little at a time. Make sure it is mixed well. Roll peanut butter mixture into approximately 400 1-inch diameter balls. Insert one tooth pick into each small peanut butter ball. Set all of them aside. Melt chocolate and paraffin (parafin helps the chocolate become shiny when it cools) in a double boiler. Be careful not to over-heat the chocolate. Dip the ball into the chocolate so as to ALMOST cover the entire ball. Leave small portion of ball uncoated. Let cool on waxed paper. Store in a cool place.
