PERSONAL RANTINGS…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
We'll be hanging out at Ocean Breeze Waterpark today from 12 Noon until 2pm. We're bringing Charlie with us, but leaving Theresa with a sitter…babies and 100 degree temperatures don't mix too well!
Last night's LIVE FREE FOR A YEAR PARTY was AMAZING!!! John Porter was our winner and he was absolutely overwhelmed. We are blessed to be able to give away huge amounts of cash, cars, trips, etc. and we always pray that the person who needs it the most wins it. I don't know if John needed it the most, but he definitely needed it. He and his fiancé Heather are getting married next week - they have a total of 3 children from previous marriages and he said "We are rebuilding our lives together". Yeah, we totally sobbed.
Next major giveaways on the Point??? iphones, baby.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO: “THIS IS SICK!”
This CHRIS BENOIT story just gets more bizarre, heartbreaking and nauseating by the day.
--Yesterday, WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt said that seven-year-old Daniel Benoit was MENTALLY CHALLENGED. . . and his care is part of what made the relationship between Chris and his wife NANCY, quote, "complicated and difficult".
(--As pretty much everybody knows by now, Chris murdered Nancy and Daniel this past weekend, before hanging himself.)
--According to McDevitt, Daniel had a rare form of retardation called Fragile X Syndrome. . . a genetic disorder which is often accompanied by autism.
--Recently, Chris and Nancy had been struggling with where to send Daniel, since he had just finished kindergarten.
--Nancy also wanted Chris to be at home with Daniel more, because she was having trouble caring for him herself while he was on the road with the WWE. (--Although she didn't want him to quit wrestling.)
--Here's where things get a little more disturbing. . .
--Needle marks were found in Daniel's arm, and police believe Chris and Nancy had been injecting him with growth hormone for some time because he was, quote, "very small, even dwarfed."
--Daniel was found FACE-DOWN in his bed, and police think he was killed by some kind of CHOKE HOLD. They don't know if he was asleep at the time.
--On Saturday, Chris had called a co-worker to inform him that he had missed a flight and would be late for a wrestling event that night in Beaumont, Texas.
--The unidentified co-worker, who usually travels with Benoit, said Benoit sounded groggy, and ended the conversation by saying I LOVE YOU. . . which the co-worker found, quote, "out of context."
--When the co-worker called him back later that day, Benoit told him that Nancy and Daniel had food poisoning, and that Nancy was throwing up blood.
--Chris Benoit did not leave a suicide note. His last correspondence with anyone came in the form of five text messages to a co-worker. Four of them were just the address of the Benoits' Atlanta home. . .
--The fifth appears to have been instructions on how to get into the house. It said, quote, "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open."
--According to the "New York Daily News", he was also texting his fellow wrestlers Biblical passages and section of his will. (???)
--One last note. . .
--Benoit had been receiving drugs from a Florida business called MedXlife.com. . . which sold steroids, human growth hormone and testosterone on the Internet.
--The site was already under investigation by authorities in New YorkState. So far, six people, including two of the owners, have pleaded guilty to criminal charges, and 20 more, including doctors and pharmacists, have been arrested.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO: “IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR JOB, GET A NEW ONE!!!...I LOVE MY JOB AND HOPE YOU DO TO!!!”
You may be tired of going to work every day, but are you TRULY burned out at your job? Here are five signs that it's time to start thinking about a different gig. . .
#1.) YOUR COWORKERS AVOID YOU. If you've become really cranky and irritable with the other people you work with, it probably means you're unhappy with your job.
#2.) YOU COME IN LATE AND WANT TO LEAVE EARLY. Remember at the beginning of your job, you were always excited to go in and work? That does fade a little over time, but you shouldn't be counting down the minutes until you leave.
#3.) YOU'RE APATHETIC ABOUT THE JOB. Instead of being enthusiastic, you're unmotivated. . . and you don't have any sense of accomplishment.
#4.) YOU'RE NOT CLOSE WITH YOUR COWORKERS. When you started, there were probably a couple coworkers who you were close with. But if you've lost those friendships, it's probably because you have burnout.
#5.) YOU'RE PHYSICALLY SICK. Those fluorescent lights at the office have sucked all manner of life out of you. You'll feel exhausted, have headaches. . . and have trouble sleeping.
