HELP US

St. Louis City is now the 2nd highest city in the United States for murder. Wow and it is not even summer yet. Though I do not live in the city, I work there and to see and hear about all this senseless killing is enough to make you absolutely sick, terrified and certainly pissed off.

The young folks are killing each other like it isn’t anything and no matter what civil rights' leaders, politicians and parents are trying to do to stop it, the numbers of young people killed are increasing. I'm not talking about one person being killed, it's multiples. Three teens in one car, two in another, walking down the streets, walking into a store, it doesn't matter; these kids are doing this in broad daylight. Mercy on us all!

When it gets hotter, it is predicted to get worse, but honestly, it is the worst I have ever heard about and I hear this is happening all across the country.

I used to worry if my daughter would have any one to marry; now I worry if we'll all make it alive through the summer. With the economy getting worse, and jobs more scarce, it just gives them another reason to rob and kill. Short of sending these gun-killing- happy young men to Iraq to fight in the war since they want to fight for nothing, give them something to fight for. But then again, not having a heart- they would probably turn the gun on their own troop.

What the Heck was She Thinking?

I happened to find my niece on the web with this big stupid tattoo across her chest. This is a niece that I am very close to, whom I spend at least 1 day a week with, who calls me everyday. She is the one who had the break in while she was asleep.

She has been doing a good job with her life and taking good care of her kids. Though she is indeed a woman, who can make her own decisions, clearly she was ashamed of this one, since she has been hiding it. No wonder she has been draped so tightly in clothes in the chest area when I see her. She even looks hot wrapped up like a mummy trying to hide this silly looking tattoo. Apparently, these young people are more impressed with fads then thinking how things will affect them later in life. I guess she even put a hole near her lip because she now wears an earring there. I will mention to her this weekend that she can now remove all those hot clothes because her secret is out. What a mess!
