Hi, welcome to my new blog.
I am new to this, this is my first attempt at writing a blog.
So if you see a mistake or a problem, be kind please. Just look over it, as I am still learning. And I can be a slow learner sometimes.

If you came to this site looking for decorating ideas and tips for organizing your closets, you might be disappointed. But if you came hoping to see
what reality is like, settle in, cause it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Let’s look behind those nice drapes in the windows.

What I plan to write about is- what is going on behind those decorating problems, things like some people’s realities.

This is a Crime Blog. Real Crime. Real People. Real Tragedies. There are many crime blogs out there. But I am going to pretty much limit myself to domestic violence.
What I hope to do is document those crimes that hit closest to home. Domestic Violence. Domestic Violence is one of the most puzzling of crimes.
It is often ongoing, with the victims and perpetrators entwined so closely in the situation, that it can be very difficult to help a victim get out of a situation.

Domestic Violence is often thought of as being a problem between a husband and wife, but in this blog I will be covering a wider range as the stories present themselves. I will be including any type of violence that occurs between members of the same household. That may be physical abuse, sexual abuse, murders,
whatever I see out there. Some of the stories may be pretty horrific,
so bring your kleenexes and something to settle your stomach.

Hopefully we will all learn from my blog. Things like the fact that domestic violence doesn’t just happen in poor neighborhoods. Or to other peoples families. It can happen to anyone, any family. Poor home or nice home, it happens. The abuser may be a criminal or a community leader. It may start as a little shove, but can easily escalate to a hospital visit or even to murder. It may start as an unusual
closness to a child and escalate to molestation or rape.

Most people know at least one person who is currently being abused or has been abused in the past. If you don’t know anyone like that, you are lucky. If you do know someone currently being abused, I will eventually be adding links for places
where you can learn more about the problems and solutions. And good luck.

Dear Sir:
Congratulations! You got the job! That is probably what you were hoping this letter would say. But it doesn't, because you didn't.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir: A few days ago, you phoned us about the job you applied for with our company, and we told you that you did not get the job. However, we are now writing to inform you that you did not get the job. We wanted to make sure you understood that.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
You recently applied for a position with us, but you did not get it, as we have informed you by phone and by mail. However, we have not heard back from you that you completely understand that you failed to get the job. Please call or write and let us know that you realize that you are not employed by us in any way, and never will be.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
Please be advised that the person we hired instead of you has been promoted to department manager, and he has asked us to inform you that, should a position open up, he would not hire you.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
Would you consider taking a job for less pay than we originally discussed, even though we would never offer you such a job?
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
If it is any consolation, we feel that if we had hired you, by now we would have been forced to let you go.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
We are writing to find out what kind of carpeting and curtains you want in your new office. . . . Wait, we made a mistake. You're the wrong person. Oh, well, we're going to go ahead and send this letter to you anyway.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
Could you report for work first thing Monday morning, if you had a job? Just curious.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
While updating our file of job applications, yours was folded into a paper airplane and was accidentally sailed out the window. Would you mind filling out the enclosed application and mailing it back to us in the shape of an airplane?
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
As you may have read in the newspaper, our company has been crippled by a union strike, and we have had to call in outside, freelance help, for which we are paying many times the normal salary. We just thought you should know that.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

Dear Sir:
It has come to our attention that an employee in our department has been sending you unauthorized and inappropriate letters. We have told him not only that he is fired but that we are hiring you in his place. He left here in an uproar, swearing that he was "going to find (you) and crush (your) head like a walnut." (Some of us think he said "like a peanut," but most think he said "walnut.") If he shows up at your apartment, please explain to him that we were just kidding; we would never hire you.
Sincerely,
Personnel Department

The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer or publisher, just send them the following:

Dear [name of the person who signed the rejection letter],

Thank you for your letter of [date of the rejection letter]. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me [employment with your firm/a contract to publish my book].

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite [name of the co or agency that sent you this letter]'s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting [applicants/manuscripts], I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time.

Therefore, I will initiate [employment/publishing] with your firm immediately following [graduation/job change, etc. -- get creative here]. I look forward to working with you.
Best of luck in rejecting future [candidates/manuscripts].

Sincerely,                                    
[your name]

 Good Sayings

Everyone is interested in going to heaven, but till now I have found none who wants to die.

In Order to get the prince of your dreams, you need to kiss a lot of toads.

I always try to have an open mind but my brain always keep falling out.

“I fell asleep reading a dull book and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom.

Once i desired for a piece of bread, and what I got is a piece of stone in the form of pedestal.

The person who says we cannot buy happiness with money it means that he dont know where to shop for happiness.

I would always like to have a photographic memory but it never developed.

I always say two wrongs donot make a single right, then u must try three.

There are three sides to any argument: your side, my side and the right side.

Where there is a will, there is a way to hundreds of relatives and friends.

Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference.

It is always better to understand less than to misunderstand a lot.

Till now i have found that only 2 things are infinite:
The Universe
Human Stupidity

The advantage of exercising every day is that you will die as a healthy.

The only flaw in me is that I consider myself as the most perfect in this world.

Winners never Quit and Quitters never Win.

You are not Stupid but everyone else is smarter than you.

They say kids brighten the home. That’s because they never turn the lights off.

Time has always been a great teacher, but unfortunately it has been killing all its pupils.

Men are always visualised like a Parking Spots, the good ones are taken and the free ones are handicapped.

Questions are never stupid, the person asking them is stupid.

The wind which blows between a horses ears is the wind that blows from heaven.

Its nice to be cool and fit in but its better to be awesome and fit in.

Dreams are like rainbows but only idiots chase them.

Boys are like mailboxes theres always another one down the road.

Inspiration is like a lost sock. When your searching you can never find it, and when it appears, you least expect it.

Being in love isn’t always as much fun as we think it is. When you love someone and they dont love you, you wish it were love and all you can do is try your best not to cry when you see them and they are in the arms of your best friend.

Dont follow my footsteps i walk into walls.

I grew up with six brothers - thats how i learn to dance - waiting for the bathroom…

A good friend will bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting beside you say ” Damn that was fun!”

The canter is the cure for all evil.

If you want to hoot with the owls, you’ve got to soar with the eagles. But what if you dont want to soar with the eagles because you like the owls better?

When life hands me a road block its my choice to step over it

Cracks in the sidewalk are only reminders that you are never to strong to fall apart.

All I want is for one guy to prove to me that they all arent the same..

When you mess up,another person messes up with you so dont be down.

The words “I LOVE YOU” meens more than money itself.

You can be in love, or you can love. One is foolish, one is dangerous.
One is worth it.

All the good things in life will either kill you, make you fat, or get someone pregnant!

People say sorry in different ways.
Sometimes it is heard to express how sorry we are.

I never realized what friendship meant to some people…it is and always will be the greatest blessing in my life!

My silence is my sound…

To win some you have to lose some.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master This expresses my idea of democracy.

You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.

Everything I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother

The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

I don’t know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned
to know who his grandson will be.

No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

The better part of one’s life consists of his friendships.

I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to men.
All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book.

The things I want to know are in books; my best friend
is the man who’ll get me a book I ain’t read.

The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.

He will have to learn, I know, that all people are not just - that all men and women are not true. Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every enemy there is a friend. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest people to lick.

I’m a slow walker, but I never walk back.

I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives.
I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self-control.

Things may come to those who wait. But only the things left by those who hustle.

I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.
