So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

DUI - A Reason For Relationships To Breakup

By Richard Milford

Driving under the influence of alcohol is sometimes taken for granted by most people and they keep on drinking and driving all at once. Some may have avoided the authorities along the way and some may have not. However, people must know of the negative consequences of a DUI.

One of the main causes of accidents is driving under the influence. This is because the drivers are not able in their intoxicated condition to concentrate on what is going happening on the road and the surrounding area. The vehicle may swerve towards innocent pedestrians or other cars and the results can be fatal, for the victims as well as the driver.

Those kinds of accidents affect the lives of many people. That includes the driver who will have to spend time in prison instead of doing something else that would be beneficial for them or their families.

If there is a death as a result of the accident and the person was the main support of the family it can not only cause much pain and heartache for the loss of the loved one but eventually reality sets in and the family has lost its financial support.

Even though a lot of sanctions have been ruled by the government for offenders of this nature, there are still a lot of persons who prefer to drink and drive at the same time. There are even those who would take drugs before driving or while driving just to keep them awake disregarding the fact that drugs are prohibited by the government for the reason that it renders the person the disability to control his mental and physical faculties. There is no guarantee that taking drugs would keep you awake and sane at the same time.

While some people prefer to live up to their macho image, authorities are always on the lookout for such. The vigilance of traffic officers today would get you in trouble with the authorities when caught on DUI.

The DUI driver will have many consequences for their bad judgment of driving under the influence. Automatic suspension of your license, fines and jail time, as well as the fact that it affects your whole family and not just yourself should be reasons enough to keep you from drinking and driving. On top of that, you most likely will find your name in the newspaper, an embarrassment for the whole family and your name will be tarnished forever.

It is up to you to take precautions against driving under the influence. Even if your friends or family want you to go out and drink with them, you have to make the final decision not to drink before driving home.

Never forget that there is a penalty for driving under the influence, regardless of whether you are high on drugs or have consumed alcohol. Possible punishments include a suspended license, imprisonment and fines. Publicity can only make things worse and ruin your name and maybe even career. If that is not enough, then at least consider what a DUI offense can do to your family.
