Airplane rides.

Today I read an article about rules and such that help you with airplane rides. Stuff about arm rests, what do you do if there is a larger person sitting next to you, what you do if there is someone with freakishly long legs sitting by you, if someone is sick, if someone has annoying children and they are driving you crazy, what if someone has their music up to loud or weather or not it is appropriate to recline your seat. All these things seem very natural to me in how to handle them... if it gets to the point where someone is just completely oblivious to what is going on around them and making a scene out of themselves to everyone; you're probably not going to get anywhere while trying to correct their bad habits. That is just something that I have learned to deal with. I understand that if this person is arrogant and cocky that means you should probably one either address the situation or ignore it. This just shows how our culture is a me me me world and we don't care anyone else but only about how they are bothering us.

Here is the site that I was looking at... you should read it and the comments below and see how ignorant people really are.

Babies

Five and a half weeks ago my step sister had two twin babies. Their names are Cody and Courtney. They are just now four pounds and one ounce each. They were almost two months premature... when we found out that my sister was pregnant it was definitely a shock to all of us because she has got two other kids one is nine years old and then the other is three years old. My personal first response was "Oh my gosh.... another...." and then..... we found out there there was TWO. that just added to all of the stress, but after being around then for five weeks and getting to know them and understand their personalities.... I would do anything in the world for them. They are so precious and adorable... I fully understand the process now of having premature babies in your lives and how scary that actually is. When they were born the mother had to have a complete blood transfusion because she got some rare disease that made her blood change types. It was just really terrifying through the whole thing because you think what if they all 3 (babies and the mother) don't make it... it is just scary. 

Westboro Baptist Church

The boy that died graduated from Monett High School in 2007. He was killed in action in Afghanistan on February 28^th. It was a very quiet ceremony, thee casket arrived into Monett a few days later. The family was blessed to have the casket was carried by a troop from Fort Leonard Wood. Governor Jay Nixon and the Missouri National Guard was also there.  Governor Nixon was not expected to be there.

A nine-person funeral detail from Fort Leonard Wood marched to the plane to receive the body. The detail carried the casket in silence to the hearse while the family, Governor Nixon, and other delegates stood at attention, hands on hearts and in salute until the hearse left the tarmac.

As the hearse stopped next to the airport terminal, 13 Nation Guard soldiers from Monett and Pierce City. The soldiers stood in salute until the family had gathered in the hearse and left. Two bomb squads from this area came to Monett to show their respect to Stark, he was an explosive disposal specialist in Afghanistan. 

There were a group of bikers that claim to be a church that came to this kids procession leading up the funeral. They are against gays, lesbians, solider's and so many other things.This church is called WestBoro Baptist Church. They are raising kids to believe the wrong things and to protest against different things.

Here is a picture of what happened at the procession:

This has been a rough time for the last couple weeks for me and wondering what is running through these peoples brains for one and then how it must effect the people of families that all of these signs pertain to. I don't understand these people at all.
