It seems to me this season is totally messed up.  Colton, then Skylar and now Joshua. All the really good ones are gone. Just Jessica and Phillip. I don’t care for either of them at all.

Jessica doesn’t seem to be singing the best she can as far as I am concerned.  She isn’t an entertainer on stage like Skylar. Jessica doesn’t move enough. She mainly stands there or if she does move, it’s not far, and it seems like she is doing it because she had been told to do it. Skylar would move around on the stage like she was born to entertain. I don’t feel entertained with Jessica.

Phillip has been compared to Bruce Springstein.  Not so! I am a big Boss fan. Phillip doesn’t even remotely compare to Bruce.  Phillip doesn’t really impress me and I don’t feel he belongs in the top 2.

Joshua will go far in a singing career. Even JLo recognized that.  The boy can sing! He has impressed me so much that I thought he would win Idol this year.

Is it possible something was “fixed” with the voting? I still can’t believe Jessica and Phillip are the top 2.  And I won’t be watching it next week.  I don’t want either of them to win.

First of all, I don’t have an account at Facebook. I don’t want one. I sure don’t need one, either.

Someone I know  has a Facebook account where this person who I will refer to as # from now on, has been posting some very nasty things about family and friends.  This has caused a lot of problems. I have asked # to not do this, but # says it can post whatever it wants to.  I have also forwarded some information as to why it’s not a good idea to post nasty things on Facebook only to have # become very angry at me.

It has become apparent that some companies will be asking for Facebook account information to determine what kind of person you are.  Posting negative things all the time about friends and family would present you as someone they don’t want to hire since you would cause problems within the company.  Negativity is not a good thing.

How to Behave Professionally on Social Media

What I wonder about his statement on gay marriage is if he is trying to drum up votes for his re-election from the gay community.  I don’t trust him at all and definitely nothing that comes out of his mouth is gospel.

I have nothing against gay couples marrying.  Why can’t they have the person they love be their “wife” or “husband” ? They are entitled to love someone.  I just never understood why so many people are against these unions. I don’t think it should be called marriage, though, since I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman. Can we please call them united? Or coupled? Does it have to be “marriage”?

So far Romney has stated he does not agree with what Obama is saying.  Whether Romney is right or wrong, will his stand against gay couples uniting be for or against him when it comes time to vote for our next president? This will be interesting to watch unfold.

Will gay couples insist on a law allowing them to unite in every state? Will each state have the choice of allowing such uniting or will the federal government have to get involved in passing an amendment? I see the future holds a lot of questions.  Since most of the legislature is of the older generation I don’t see this happening any time soon.  Does this mean younger pe0ple need to be voted into the Senate and Congress to have such an amendment passed? This remains to be seen.

I recently purchased OnCor’s “family size” Salisbury steaks.  In the past year or so they have not only shrunk the box but also the patties.  Smaller in size and much thinner. One package is NOT enough for a family unless everyone in the family is on a strict diet! I contacted the company by email to complain. In today’s mail I got a short letter telling me they were sorry I was disappointed and enclosed a coupon for a free package of the family size! What I would have liked was my money back! Now I have a coupon for another free package of a product I told the company I would never purchase again! Does that make sense? I’ll use the coupon and feed the stuff to my pets! That’s what I think of their product!

I tried the new Gorton’s Simply Fish…what a mess! The fish comes in 2 individual packets that you put on a pan in the oven to bake. The sauce is supposed to cover the fish while baking. When you take the packets out of the oven they are bloated. Carefully opening the packets, the sauce comes pouring out…all over the counter, the floor…everywhere you don’t want it to go!The fish in this case was about 1/3 the size of the packet! Not worth the price at all. The taste wasn’t bad, but I ended up making french bread pizza as we were still hungry!

I emailed Gorton’s to complain about this. They responded by saying they were working on the problem of the sauce. They said they would send me a coupon. That’s exactly what I got…one coupon for a free product.

I have dealt with other companies in the past when I had a suggestion or problem.  Most of the time I got more than ONE coupon for my endeavors. When Mom found a small piece of green plastic in a soda can she got 6 coupons for free 12 packs of the soda.  I think some companies could be a bit more generous in giving out free coupons.  I had never emailed Gorton’s before. I am not a constant complainer,  but I am a consumer. Perhaps a change of brand name is in order.
