People Behaving Badly

It seems to me that we have become a society that values people behaving badly. What else accounts for: Bridezillas, Bad Girls, Bad Party Girls, John & Kate, the children the nanny tries to rehabilitate, Housewives of the Amazon (or wherever they happen to be living and fighting now), and all the reality shows where people [...]

My life, South of the Border!

As you all know, last year I threatened to move to Canada if Palin was elected.  Well, maybe you did not know that, but the cat is out of the bag now.  I even went so far as to find out that it is apparently quite easy to move to Canada. 
If it was just not so darn cold [...]

Teach a child to think and he learns for a lifetime!

Our youngest grandson/son/ward is still struggling in school.  Having only been educated to a 2nd and 3rd grade level by the time he was 13, when he came to live with us, has been near impossible to make up.  Even the two years of nearly private teachers in Jr. High, could not make up his being approximately [...]

Everything I wanted to say but could not have said better!

I really hope Margaret will forgive me for submitting her blog here, but I know that if I put a link to it, half of you will not read it and the half that will not read it, really, really needs too.   And, since Margaret gets like 800 comments per post, I figure she will [...]

Lots of transfer going on here.

This is from the California case where the 16 year old threw up alcohol and had viagra type of a drug in his system; then strangled on his own vomit and died.  Beside being a good example of NOT doing bowls of pills parties (which no one knows if this was or not because, obviously, no [...]

Darn those Britons for being so mischievous.  Obviously, Cleric [...]

Life’s lessons in the news today

No mother of eight children should EVER, EVER, EVER appear in public in a bikini; unless she is on the beach and wrapped in a towel.  There should be laws.
You should never chew on your purse. 
Sarah Palin will NEVER go away.
Politician’s are not NEARLY as smart as they think they are.  What else is their [...]

Why do we need that line in the sand?

I began reading Helen, of Margaret and Helen, during the elections. This 80 something year old lady is just a hoot. Her logic is infallable and she is not afraid to speak her mind. Today’s post was a lot about American’s thinking about exactly who they are and who the other guy is. Margaret and Helen

Thursday in the ER

EMT has had a health problem lately and passed out twice yesterday.  The second time was around 10:30pm and off we went to the emergency room, again.
He requested the ER in Franklin, Indiana; as an EMT with experience in these things.  And, he was right. That had to be the most efficient ER I have [...]

Have we all learned our lesson now?

I try not to lecture on this blog but I just have to say this, so please bear with me.
Susan Boyle, the British singer on Britain’s Got Talent, steps out on stage and people roll their eyes and laugh. At what? At the nerve of a frumpy woman, with frizzy hair, to dare think she [...]
