I went to the local flea market over the weekend only to find out that it may not be open for much longer. It sounds like it is up for sale and that the new owner’s are not interested in keeping it as a flea market. What a bummer, I really love that place and I will miss it terribly. Nothing good lasts forever, so they say.

I’m really not all that much into Country music but this song done by Lady Antebellum has just taken be back a few steps. Some songs just do that from time to time. This is a keeper for my YouTube Playlist which is ever growing. Thanks YouTube.com
Isn’t Ironic
A good song that finds it’s way into my head every now and then, and then stays there for days is by Alanis Morissette is called “Ironic” I can so totally relate to this song in so many ways. Life is Ironic each and every day.
It’s like 10,000 spoons when you just need a knife!

Sweet
I try to find a good quality gift to give to my mother each Mother’s Day. And this holiday is fast approaching so I need to get off of it and start looking around for ideas. Having access to the Internet makes this task a much easier one, thank God! I look for companies that accept PayPal since I use my PayPal account a lot. I also look for free shipping, it’s all about the $$$ these days ya know?
I found some nice Seiko Kinetic Watches at Bluedial.com that are affordable and I think that my mother would enjoy. She is a tiny little thing so she can’t wear anything big and bulky, which can be a challenge at times, but I think that I have gotten used to that idea for a while now. This is a pretty sweet wrist watch that is on sale for only $110 and has free shipping as well. I’ve bookmarked it and will see how it all pans out.
And I Helped!
I used to be able to help my nieces and nephews with their homework, but now a days I feel so useless and incompetent most of the time when they call on me especially for Math answers. Math was never my strongest subject but jeezy peezy times have certainly changed on us. God forbid if they need Precalculus help or Calculus help, I just can’t do them justice with that.
The good news is that they have access to the Internet and there seems to be several options for them when it comes to school work issues. You can all kinds of tutoring from Pre Kindergarten all the way up to the college years. So thank God once again for the Internet and all that it brings to us in today’s world. Of course you can get help with all types of subjects, not just math.
I expect good things to happen to my nieces and nephews. I’m sure that at least one of them will make a difference in this world and will make a name for themselves, then I can say “and I helped” LOL
OMG
It is very disturbing to keep hearing the reports of all the extreme weather conditions that just seem to keep happening over and over. This morning the news is that a 4.4 earthquake has hit right outside of Los Angeles, California. Will this madness ever end? Who ever pissed off Mother Nature really needs to make an apology and soon.
A Spring Cold
Think I’m coming down with a cold. My mother says it is a “Spring cold” I just know that I’m coughing, my nose is running and I feel like hell. What a way to start the week end. At least it is going to be a rainy weekend so that makes me feel better. I won’t be missing much.
A Daunting Task Made Easier With The Internet
I’ve gone online to do some comparison shopping on Maryland insurance rates. I’ve found a great site at NetQuote.com that has helped with this daunting task of finding the best bang for my buck. I love how the Internet has made challenges like this so much easier. I remember the days of having to find the Yellow Pages and spend hours calling around to all of the local insurance agents trying to get quotes from the all in an effort to find the best deal. What a pain in the rear that was! And to top it off you were limited only to local companies. It’s a big world out their folks, the sky is the limit.
Pretty Radical, But What The Heck
Should Christians Respect Obama?
It’s a good day when the clergy begin to resume its proper role in shepherding believers.
Dr. David Barton is more of a historian than a Biblical speaker, but famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as Biblical truths.
Dr. David Barton – on Obama
Respect the Office? Yes.
Respect the Man in Office? No, I am sorry to say.
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama. Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama ! I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it. I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President ! Why am I doing this ?
It is because:
– I do not share Obama’s vision or value system for America ;
– I do not share his Abortion beliefs;
– I do not share his radical Marxist’s concept of re-distributing wealth;
– I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);
– I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;
– I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;
– I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;
– I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than our American Citizens who need help;
– I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;
– I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy and should give up more land;
– I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);
– I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America ;
– I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East ; and
– I certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran .
Bottom line: my America is vastly different from Obama’s, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my GOD to do what is Right ! For eight years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!
They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant! They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years! They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country! They have made every effort to remove the name of GOD or Jesus Christ from our Society! They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code!
They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!
Unite behind Obama? Never ! ! ! I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those who I believe are the embodiment of Evil!
PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!! Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and his “goals for America .” I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country ! ! Any more compromise is more defeat !
I pray that this election will wake up many who sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-GOD crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America !
