I was hacked

So, I disappear for about nine months and find my Tumblr has been hacked by some offshore adult website. No, it was NOT me posting hundreds of pictures of girls on my blog. I have changed my password and deleted all those posts and hope it will be back to normal.

I sincerely apologize for the spam coming from my tumblr. Thank you for those who did not remove me.

So, how am I doing? I am going through some really tough times. Three of my kids have been hospitalized in the past year. I also had some BS legal issues to deal with. My car died. And basically been overall depressed. I still submerge myself in the news everyday, but just stopped posting about it.

I am continuing my tumblr sabbatical now. See you all later!

Top StoriesGeorgia school system will allow employees to carry gunsDUBLIN, Ga. (AP) - A Georgia school system has decided to allow its employees to carry guns. The Telegraph reports that the Laurens County school board has approved a policy allowing select staff to carry guns on school property, in vehicles and at school functions. Officials have not determined how many employees will carry guns or when they are allowed to start. Laurens County Schools Superintendent Dan Brigman says teachers and staff who carry guns will do so on a voluntary basis and receive intensive training. Justin Pauly of the Georgia School Boards Association says Laurens County Schools is believed to be the state’s only district to go forward with such a policy.
