When will I ever learn..

Well the other day (Monday) I was checking the pumpkins again for rot and one of them that is quite orange looked great and I picked it up a little, felt for the rot.. Great no rot then snap.. The damn thing broke off from the vine.. That's the third one and we weren't even in September..  Well set it in the shade there hope it doesn't decay in the heat.. Had these broken off next week it would be less of a reason to freak out because it is supposedly going to cool off a little.. It's like my older brother has always said it's like labor day is the beginning of cooler weather, and he's right.. This week it's like the first week of September but it's like labor day could have been Monday but it is always the first Monday of the month and this year it comes on the very last day of the first week of the month..  All the pumpkins are doing fine.. The biggest pumpkin I have is still hangin' in there.. It hurts my arms to look at it.. How much will it weigh??  Good question.. The second largest one might be close to a hundred pounds, and this one in the tree might be twice the size, it's hard to tell what with being in the trees like that.. The number of pumpkins that still have a good chance to be fully developed is around twelve.. Hoping that the number ten might still happen.. Fingers crossed..

I have to learn that when I put a comment on the Facebook that I could have a reply I don't agree with or might make me.. pissed off.. Well I recently replied that with the state getting enough signatures to put the death penalty back on the ballot that I fealt it was a waste of time.. They rarely use it in any state and ours is the same, it's more of a joke.. Here is my comment : "Such an important issue to get your way.. I mean the death penalty will only mean something if it actually gets used and gets used in a more timely manner.. These criminals know they will spend years on death row.. I say from the day they are sentenced they have five years and then they are put to death.." 

And the reply by someone..:
"So you would like to do away with the right to due process? What other constitutional rights shall we give up to fulfill your disgusting bloodthirst?" 

That wasn't my intent at all.. Basically what I was meaning was that the death penalty is rarely used and when it is they can spend the next fifty years appealing it..  To me I felt like if they were found guilty that they should get five years to appeal it and if it isn't then they are put to death on the fifth year of their conviction.. Is five years not long enough??  Maybe not but there should be an appeals court that runs those cases exclusively and they should get that completed in a fairly timely manner.. Is five years long enough??  Set a time limit of some sort, be that five, seven, ten...  However long but set a limit otherwise to me it comes off being a bit of a joke..
