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 !

“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”

“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.” – Ronald Reagan

I WANT THE AMERICA I GREW UP IN BACK….

Way Cool!

Years ago my sister and I used to go to several Rodeos a year. We really got into the whole Rodeo scene. We had our cute little western outfits, with girly cowboy hats, boots and even a bandanna once in a while. I run across parts of and pieces of our outfits here and there around the house, in the back of a drawer or in a box downstairs and it always puts a big smile on my face. We even made a cool scrapbook that my sister keeps at her place, from all the pictures that we had taken back then. I’ve got to see if she can take a moment and dig it out next time I go over to see her. It would be fun to see them again with her.

A good friend of mine just went online at work and purchased Tickets to the National Finals Rodeo that is being held in Las Vegas this December. Man what I would give to be able to go with her. Attending the National Finals Rodeo is cool enough, but to attend it in Las Vegas, way cool! Oh well, there is still time to purchase tickets, who knows maybe I’ll win the lottery, or the major football pool at the office by then! The tickets to the Rodeo aren’t the pricey issue, it would be the transportation and lodging that would be a pain. Looks like I need to start picking some lottery numbers, you can’t win if you don’t play.

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.

Will It Snow Or Not, That It The Question

On the 25th we were expecting more snow, thank the good lord that we didn’t even see one single snow flake. But now the weatherman is indicating that tomorrow evening we will be slammed with another snow storm. You never know until it happens and I’m not too concerned with it all at this point.

Bring It On

The weather man says that will should be getting 3 to 5 inches of snow by tomorrow. We still have several inches still on the ground from the last snow storm. I’m so done with winter and can’t wait for spring. They say that the groundhog saw his shadow and that means that we have 6 more weeks of winter, arg…….

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.
