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 !
“Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it.” – Thomas Jefferson
GOD bless you and GOD bless our Country ! ! !
Thanks for your time, be safe. In GOD We Trust”

I WANT THE AMERICA I GREW UP IN BACK….

TV
Over the weekend I went along to the Emergency Room with my sister and her 3 year old son. He had a high fever and was broken out with some type of rash. After speaking with the pediatrician over the phone she was told to take him to the ER. This was on a Saturday night, which turns out to be one of the busiest time to go to the ER, sigh……
It was a very good thing that they had Commercial DIRECT TV in the waiting room. That was the only thing that saved my sister’s sanity and kept me from sneaking outside for a smoke at their “Tobacco Free Campus” that they had numerous signs posted all over reminding us about the fact that smoking wasn’t tolerated anywhere on the property.
This ER has the good sense to have a special section of the waiting room that was playing the Disney Channel for the little ones. I thought that was pretty cool. DIRECT TV for Business is a wonderful idea and we are seeing it more and more in many businesses. The last time that I took my car in for inspection the shop had the DIRECT TV Business package going on there as well. Too bad that the remote was kept behind the counter though, they were so busy that I didn’t want to interrupt any of them to ask for the remote to change the channel. It all worked out though I wasn’t thee that long. I picked a good day that time, for a change.
Anyway, I’m all for having decent TV for clients and customers to enjoy during their waiting times. It beats the dickens out of reading the old out dated, torn up, germ infested magazines that we are used to having at our disposal in most waiting rooms. I’ve gotten in the habit of keeping a book in my car, or at least a reader’s digest in my purse just for those occasions, just in case.
The Comparing of Prices Online
I’ve been on the look out for a new bedroom vanity. I’ve been looking at yard sales and thrift stores for some time now and have given up on the hopes of finding a used one with a used price and have turned to the Internet to find one at a decent price. Become.com is a wonderful online shoppers comparison site that I’ve used to find good quality products at great prices for their online shoppers like myself.
I found Become.com when I was looking for hair blow dryers and was happy with them and bookmarked their site for future use. I believe that I also used them for the leather backpack purse that I purchased for myself for my birthday last year. I really don’t buy that much for myself these days, but when I do I want to and need to find the best deal possible in order to keep a couple of bucks in the bank.
Online shopping is the way to go if you can find free shipping along with other promotional or coupon codes that are designed to keep online shoppers ordering and coming back for more. I still like to go out and window shop on occasion but the online prices keep me from buying locally.
A New Challenge
I have been approached at work about taking over their email newsletter. It is something that I have dabbled in a bit here and there since I sit right next to the gal who currently taking on this task. It isn’t all that terribly difficult, I mean they have decent enough email newsletter software that is user friendly. But I’d like to think that if I do consent to taking this project on that I’d be allowed to check into some other newsletter software that might be better. I’ve seen some pretty nice newsletters and some pretty crappy ones and I’d like to have something that I put together look as good and professional as possible.
I am always looking for new and challenging things to take on at work, so I’m really quite tickled to be considered to do this important project. It is something that I think I can be creative with and make an impression with the “upper management” at some point. I’ve been there for almost 5 years now and I don’t for see me going anyway any time soon, at least I’m pretty secure in my position there. With today’s crazy economy one never really knows do they?
In The Land Of Credit
Since the economy has turned sour on us, there are a ton of people out there that have had their credit ruined. It is a shame that our lives revolve so highly around these credit issues. We work so hard to get credit, then we struggled to keep it good and we can have it destroyed in such a short amount of time. It just doesn’t seem right.
The good news is that you can now go online and have the opportunity to compare and shop around for credit cards for people with no credit history and bad credit credit cards to find the best fit for your specific financial needs. Credit-land.com is one such online credit card application site that I spent a bit of time at earlier this week. I’d like to find a credit card that gives me some cash back for a change and I don’t have the most perfect credit these days. So I’m glad that there are sites that make this task an easier one to tackle. I can take my time and browse at my convenience with no pressure or obligations. If I find one that sparks my interest I can apply for the card right there online. I like that.
Just What We Need, More Snow
As if we really needed any more snow. Today we got four more inches of this horrible white stuff that has made our lives such a mess these past few weeks and darned if they are calling for more later on this week as well. I’m so sick of this and I just can’t wait for spring so that we can finally be rid of it all.
I’m sure that there will be plenty of flooded basements and roads washed out when we finally get warm enough weather to start melting all that has accumulated. Not something to look forward to at all.
The Right Mailbox
It is important to have a good mail box. There has been a big push in having people place their house numbers on their mailboxes, so that our emergency personnel can find the the right location to which they have been called to. I know that it is hard trying to find house numbers especially at night and in bad weather. It must really be hard to be a delivery person that is constantly trying to find the house number in order to deliver items. I can imagine it would be a real challenge and very frustrating for them.
There are so many varieties of mail boxes on the market these days. I was surfing the Internet the other day and stumbled across a site that has some really nice residential and commercial mail boxes for sale. My poor mailbox has seen better days and I’ve been meaning to purchase a new one. It is just something that hasn’t been high on my list of priorities lately, what with the holidays and now the extreme weather that we have been experiencing. But I’m thinking that when I get my tax refund check in the mail in the next couple of months that I will go back to this site that I have book marked and order a new one once and for all.
